The applica tion of natural forces to the needs and uses of mankind in matters of transpor tation and communication lies made it possible for one to accomplish as much in a day as his grandfather, fifty yoars ago, could do in a month. Thought seems to have developed in like ratio, and advan ces arc made on liberal lines that are simply astounding when compared with the easy progress of former generations. Fifteen years ago tho electric light was more of a novelty than a necessity. It was in use then, of course, and, unlike the ordinary coming event, it cast the bright rays of its possibilities before it. Toduy it is a necessity for which domes tic economy makes the same provision that it does for foo l or raiment. Who would listen for a moment to a proposi tion to dispense with electric light on public streets, in theaters and places of public amusement and on the sole ground that it is more trying to women's com plexions than gas light? Yet this argu ment was seriously advanced against the jirobability of the general nse of electric ity for that purpose—and the argument was looked upon, by those who advanced it, as absolutely unanswerable. But the light still shines. A few ydars ago the bicyclo became a fad with a few amateur athletic enthus iasts. Little by littlo the uso of the wheel was extended, until now it is a pinciicai necessity. When the idea was tirst suggested of making wheels lor ladies the manufacturers protested that it would be impossible, or at least impracti cable. The greater weight needed for a diop frame was directly antagonistic to tbe perpetual strife for the lightness de manded by the users of the diamond frame. The proposition that presented itself to the female cyclist then resolved itself into a choice between tn'o things—either to ride the heavier wheel and get what sport was possible out of it, or to dre's for the lighter machine. And here is where the rapidity of this day and gener ation counts. A year ago-even now timid people arc discussing and wonder ing whether the bloomer girl is to be taken seriously. Open your eyes and look about you. The time is past for speculating and arguing about the mat ter. The bloomer girl is here, and she is bere to stay as long as the wheel dors. While a few of her timorous sisters were asking themselves what they could do to pint themselvos more nearly on a par with their brothers in the use of tho silent steed, the true enthusiast unhesitatingly cut the Uirdian knot. With 'hilto and bifurcation" as her motto, she role forth to conquer, and sho has won a complete victory. The time for thinking, asking or guessing about the bloomer costume is past. It was only yesterday that we were speculating. Today the bloomer girl is as much of a fact as if she had ex isted for centuries. THAT INDEMNITY China is said to be willing to pny any reasonable indemnity in settlement for tbo outrages perpetrated upon the Eng lish and Canadian missionaries. These latter themselves are willing to have a liberal indemnity paid, but also desire the European powers to administer such other punishment as will be a lesson for the future to the Chinese government. While it is probably in accordance with the principles of absolute justice that some such steps should be taken, one cannot help recalling that the founder of the very religion wuiob the missionaries aie teaching to the heathens, in the mo ment of supreme agony caused by a mob of heathens oh Calvary, said: "Father, forgive them; thoy know not what tliev do." TO CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS H. Weinstock of Sacramento has taken the stump and is visi ing various parts nf the st.ite addressing the fruit growers concerning the matter of obtaining fairer representation in the auctions of fruit held in the eastern states. Mr. Weinstock has already addressed quite a liumuer of meetings on the subject and ho succeeds In arousing considerable enthusiasm among the fruit growers wherever he is beard. This is one of the cases where tho speaker has bis "battle just." There is no good reason why California fruits should be sold behind closed doors. Mr. Weinstock advocates ihe establishment in every eastern city where our fruits aro sold, of an opsn'auction, where all buyers of fruit, whether large or small, can com pete for such fruits as they want for their uses. It is against the principles of Am erican business methods to shut ont any number of buyers from what is supposed to he nn open market. That a large number of buyers are shut out of the market by tho closed market method no one can lieny. this ia unfair not only to the smalt dealers but more than unjust to the fruit growers who by this method arc left to tho mercy of a small number of buyers, it is an easy matter for a few large buyers to control the mm lift by combining 111 their bids. Strange to say a few fruit growers still favor the closed auctions, though they nre in the minority and every meeting which Mr. WeinStock has addressed has adopted resolutions to tbe effect that they pledgo their support to tho Califor nia Fruit Growers' and Shippers' asso ciation. This organization is said tc be doing nil in its power to remedy the great evils of tlie past in tbe marketing of California fruit. STILL PLAYING HOGGISH The corporation which is building th' cross-town system of street railways, called the Los Angeles Traction com puny, it seems, is pursuing tlie same tad- I tics of hoggishncss that it displayed I when it held possession of Third street !so long without any interference fiom the authorities in the city hall. The res idents of Georgia Hell street , now com plain that the company h*s put that thoroughfare in an impassable condition, and left it so for an unconscionable length of time. The council should look closely after tho laches of these overbearing gen try before granting them any more fran chises, and they should bo made to real ize that tbey must treat tbe people ot this city with some respect. AN ANNUAL FRAUD That annual fraud upon the people of tnis state called the state fair is a matter that Governor Budd couli with profit. turn his attention to. Witb his spirit of economy a thorough investigation of its evils would result in great good to the people at largo. The "fair is little else than an orgy 01 vice and crime. All the outcasts of tho coast gather at Sacramento on these occasions, and are allowed full swing. For tho time gambling and all .its kindred evils Haunt themselves in the face of an outraged community, while the real purpose of the "fair"—that of foster ing the agricultural interests of the state —is lost sight of in tbe mad rush to gain stained "boodle." CURRENT COMMENT Tbe Consolidated Klectric Railway com pany is putting in a curve at the junc tion of Main and Alameda streets which conies so eloso to tho sidewalk as to make it impossible to safely drive a team there abouts. A wav to serve tho needs of the railway company should be devised, and the rights of the public preserved at the same lime. The newly sleeted English parliament convened Monday and perfected its or ganization by re-electing the speaker of tlie late parliament. This peculiarity of British politics strikes the average Amer ican observer as odd. to say the least, and makes him almost wonder what there is to contend for over there if the speaker ship of the house goes by default to one who may be, as in this case, a member uf the minority or opposition party. The rediscovery of tho process Dy which copper and iron may be welded, if it prove a success, will be of inestimable valuo in naval construction, and will ma terially lessen tlio current expenses of men-of-war. One of the neccessaiy bits of work, even after a short cruise, is re moving barnacles and other impeding substances from the bottoms of vessels, and this in spite of freo.uent applications of so-called copper paints. With tin pos sibility of the economic use of copper it self, which bas only been prevented by ig nonnce of a method of welding copper and iron, tne greater part ot dry-duck ex penses can be obviated. Among the many things thot are worthy of being taken notice of by lov ers of fair play is the persecution now be ing directed against the prtsent incum bent of the office of humane officer. Be cause tins man has dared to do his duty and expose an individual wno was not long ago proven to have treated animals entrusted to his care with a total disre gard of the dictates of humanity, he has been harassed in many ways, and the last attempt has been to seek to deprive the officer of the salary granted him by the council some time ago. The council Should sit down on these machinations and not punish a good officer for doing his duty. The wind-up of the Bannock Indian scare shows that a great deal of smoke w.is caused by a very littlo lire. As with every Indian outbreak that has resulted in the loss of human life, there is much tbat could be said in extenuation of tbe actions of each sids, and there is always a great deal tbat can be said on the red man's side of the question. I'ntil this government adopts a policy of absolute extermination, than which there could bo nothing more barbarous, or treats the Indians as true wards of the govenrment and protects them in their rights, we may look for an outbreak every time the cupidity and rapacity of the white agents and contractors exceed the limits of an Indian's idea of decency.

T.iis was tendered the bride and groom by tbe Presbyterian society of Southern California, and tho missionary societies of Emanuel churcn.

'The bride's table was decorated with fragrant sweet pens and pond lilies, and at either end of the table were two immense cakes, one fruit and (he otner bride's cake, which were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas by Mrs. J, B. livine. The deli cious repast wnich wis served was in charge ol Mines. J. D. Henderson, .lenks and Fiizhughei.

Tne guests were charmingly cared for by tho Misses Harris, Anges Ward, Katharine Currey, l.itiian Henderson, Kate Kirk patrick Wilts) and Grace Henderson.

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI An Interesting reeling Held and a Literary Programme Rendered At a meeting of the Los Angeles high scbool alumni, beld in the High School auditorium last evening,an enjoyable and instructive programme was rendered. The meeting was duly called 10 older by Vice-President Laznrd; the secretary, A. W. P. Kinney, having been absent upon a prolonged honeymoon, his chair was filled by Miss Came Blanchard of the winter class ol '94. The main features of the programme were as follows: Piano solo—L. Snepard. The high school alumni—C. E. Haas. Stanford university journalism—Chas. Bell. Law and lawyers—-W. F. Haas. History of tho high school; past and present—Miss Dunham. After the rendering ot the programme, the business of the evening was proceed ed with. A motion was offered by Air. Shepurd. seconded by Chas. E. Haas, that the association pass a resolution congratulating A. W. P. Kinney ami wife upon their happy union. Mr. Kinney has been several times president of the so ciety, and is its present secretary. The hearty congiatulations of all tho alumni were extended to him. A report by the treasurer shows tho treasury to bo again upon a good substan tial basis. The next meeting will be held on tbe second Tuesday of September. AN EVENING WITH GLEASON Frequent Bursts of Applause Greet tbe Horse Master Wild and Intractable Equlnes Converted from the Paths ol Wickedness and Hade Meek and Amiable Lsst evening Hazard's pavilion was tilled witb a large and interested audi ence, whicb showed its appreciation of Professor Gleason's exhibition by fre quent bursts of applause. The tirst ani mal brought into the ring was a line, large dark-brown horse, whoso striking, biting and kicking propensities made him a terror to the employees of B. V. Coch ran at the Citizens' stockyard. The ani mal, in addition to the above named faults, would not answer to the commands of "Get up" and "Whoa." Within a very short time Prolessor Gleason had him subdued, nnd although struggling violently at first, he was soon driven quietly around the ring and obeyed every command when given. A beautiful brown horse, somewhat lighter in weight than his predecessor, and tho property of Owen Conrad, was then led into the enclosure. The trouble with this animal was that he could not be harnessed without being tied up, and even then he showed a marked disposi tion to run away at any moment. After repeated efforts the professor compelled him to follow him around ihe ring at the word of command, and even overcame his wish to run away. He was treated to a dose of charivari music and made acquainted with the mysteries of the parasol, after which when harnessed he showed by the way he circled the ring that he did not think being between the shafts such a bad thing, after all. The next beast whose evil points were treated was a slender-limbed chestnut horse of a very nervous disposition, be longing to Mr." Ryan. Yesterday after noon he evinced bis nervous proclivities by running away on Main street, south of First, and Bas eight broken buggies to his credit. The chestnut danced around very lively at lirst and emphatically ob jected to' being placed in tue training straps. When they were adjusted, how ever, his violent *p! un ? es and side leaps created great amusement among the audi ence. Soon, however, the animal com menced to obey the restraint upon bun, and although "still struggling against the boom of tne big drum und rattle of die tin pans, at last succumbed and allowed himself to bo driven around the ring in the most approved manner. These three horses which had been sun dued were then harnessed three abreast to the wagon and th 9 professor, gather ing up tho reins, drove them around the ring, while the attendants exploded lire crackers around nnd under them. Tbe fourth event of the evening was the subduing of Ugly Mary, a mare which had recently been brought in from the ranch and whose propensity for kick ing was sonuthing wonuerful to behold. She is the property of W. McDermott of the Fashion stables, and has hitherto borne an unenviable reputation among tho hostlers of that establishment. When the straps had been adjusted a smart touch of the whip from the professor started her around the ring. For a while the only thine visible of Mary were her hind legs, and the way they cleft the air was something remarkable. It seemed at lirst as if she would kick forever, and with the effect of increasing her exer tions a rattling string of tin pans was attached to her tail. Then for a short time her efforts rather bordered on the sublime. Before long, however, tho rattle of the pans became an old story and soon they failed altogether to excite her animosity. They wete then taken off and the wagon repeatedly run up against her hind legs, but witb no re sults. Mary had sought better things, and the art of kicking is relegated by her to oblivion. Soon she was being driaen around the ring in the wag«n. one of the meekest and most aniiaole horses that ever existed. The managsment decided yesterday to reduce the price of admission to the borse-traiping show to 25 cents for re served seats and 10 cents for tbe gallery. This reduction has been made with the intention of bringing the pertormance within the means of everyone in Los An geles, and gues into effect today. Lost His Place Sheriff Burr yesterday 'evoked the com mission of a detective named John Dunn, whom ho sworo in as a deputy some time ago. Dunn levied on an engine claimeil by two partners, J. Yon Serkey and George O'Kell. who bad disagreed in bus iness, after Justice Young and Constable Yon kin bad refused to take action, owing lv iniormauues in llio (J.ULBcuiiigo. A vigorous protest from the residents of Georgia Jtell street is heard in the land. The object of their wrath is the Traction Railway company, which, not content with tearing"lip a street to tlie degree of al- most impnssahility, keeps it in that con- dition for an unnecessarily long time.

CORHESPOND6NGE INVITED AT THE THEATERS Los Angeles Theater.— Hoyt's BlacK Sheep jumped into the field last night before a large and delighted audience; it was n bell-wether, too, and his name v;ae Hot Stuff. The farce itself, liko all the other Hoyt farces, has just enough of a story to hold it together, and the piay bill distinctly discluims any intention or desire on the part of the author that it should teach a moial. The tirst and last acts nre distinctly the best, and tbe former, laid in the bar room of a hotel in tombstone, Ariz., is full of local color, clever business, tunny situations and unique lines, in it Otis Harland does an extremely good piece of work as a wild und woolly cowboy, in which he is ably backed up by the rest of tho company. 'To be sure, the language is plain and to the point, the action ditto, and drinks, lights, shotguns and various other amenities known to belong Indispensably to Arizona life, arc used by Mr. Hoyt with most telling eeffct. Hot Stuff's one and unfailing remedy for joy or sorrow, surprise or anger, is a drink, and one after another are tossed into his mouth with an alacrity that ta only equalled by its artlessness, and he never lutes one—each drinic is taken like a pill, whole. He sings several songs, too, heweeu drinks, that ure new and catchy, and they caught last night hard and fast. William De Vere. as tho editor of the Tombstone Inscirption, waa another bril liant bit of Ojlor in the tirst act. His un failing habit of drinking before writing and the manner of acquiring his drinks must be seen to be appreciated; likewise his cheerful habit of going gunning for delinquent subscribers, and one of his brief but pithy editorials tnat he read aloud was an epic, and convinced even the untamed Hot Stuff that even New York, alive, was better than Tombstone, dead—from hanging. In the last act the scene was laid in New York, and Mr. Stuff had just re turned from abroad; he was no longer Hot, he was ilaccid and supine and dis tinctly Anglo; he song some more songs nnd iold wierd talcs about his year abroad, in which be had not only seen Europe, but taught it a thing or two. Of course Mr. Harlan is the show, Ihe rest revolve about him; there is the usual contingent of pretty girls, and in the short dresses and tights of the first and third acts they are a great deal more at tractive thnn in the shirt waists and long skirts of the more conventional and un interesting second act. Some of them dance extremely well, and there are one or two better than good male voices in tho com pany. Tho Black Shoeo seemed to bo sll and more than might be expected of such a member of the tloek last night.and it will continue to gambol and cavort ihe rest of the week, including Saturday matinee.
