OUR WINTER PROSPECTS
We are now In tbe week of tbe autum
nal equinox, that peri no in tbe east when
the tornado, tbe cyclone and other ter
rors of tbe air are wont to take an outing.
It is the broad dividing line between
summer and winter. After the so-called
•quinoctial storms the easterner's
thoughts turn to the subject of escaping
from the rigors of his dreary winter en
vironment. The millionaire is apt to
think of Europe and costly revelry, the
nan with lets money but more seme is
likely to let his lancy take wings west
ward across the Rocky mountains and
down the Faoitio slope to Southern Cali
fornia.
Indications all point to a large exodus
tb!« autumn from the east In tne direc
tion of California. In fact there is sub
stantial evidence tbat Southern California
will this year attract eastern visitors as
It never did before. Chief among the
reasons underlying this belief is tbe con
fidence everywhere felt in the east in the
healthy and stable revival of business
activity. Tbe uncertainty as to the
business outlook a year ago was un
doubtedly a leading eanse of the curtail
ment of travel hitherward last season.
Another factor Is the influence of the
delightful last winter here. Not only will
every visitor of tbat time be eager to re
turn, but every one ol them has advertis
ed our glorious climate in his or her cir
cle of acquaintances. There are many
obvious reasons why tbe number of visit
ors should be exceptionally large tbe
coming season. We may as well accept
the statement as a fact and make our ar
rangements accordingly. Los Angeles, as
the hub of Southern California, will nat
urally have to entertain the tratismon
tane visitors. From this hub they will
diverge more or less to other paints of
our favored section, but this city, like
Rome, will be the oenter to which all
roads lead.
And it must be remembered that the
easterner who visits this country is likely
to be so impressed with its multiform
attractions that he may want to seek a
permanent home among us. In this res
pect he is utterly unlike his brother who
goes to' Europe to see the glare and glit
ter of gilued fasbion. It behooves us,
therefore, to make as happy as possible
the stranger who is wltbin our gates
during tbe coming season. Though a
stranger at first he may later be a neigh
bor and a friend.
That remarkable run over the New
York Central railroad makes one think
of possibilities in the sweet bye and bye
for rapid transit between the Atlantic'
and Pacific coasts. A train of four pas
senger cars made the trip from New York
to Boi'jlo, 437 miles,in 407 minutes. This
rate is equivalent to a run from Los An
geles to Chicago in about thirty-three
hours, or tifty hours to New York. But
while peering into the future of travel we
might as well consider the electrio loco
motive. Experts firmly believe that a
long distance speed of one hundred miles
an hour is practicable, under favornble
conditions, with such motors. Herein
we have a rainbow promising a trip from
Los Angeles to Chicago in about twenty
two hours and to New York in about
thirty-two. And in view of theaizzy pro
gress now making in locomotion, it
would be rash to say that such transit
will not be realized within a few years.
THE FIESTA OF 1896
The statement put forth by the com
mittee of thirty outlining their general
plan of work and tne policy under which
the Fiesta of 189G is to bo run shows at
the very start that the enterprise has fal
len into good hands. The position taken
by the committee is a broad and liberal
one and will command for thorn the con
fidence of the public. The members of
the committee declare their willingness
to work faithfully or else resign and
make way for others to take hold in their
places. They declare their intention to
secure tne co-operation as far as .possible
of all classes of citizens that it may be in
the highest degree a people's Fiesta.
Tbey propose to exclude the advertising
of personal and business interests and to
set a high standard of artistic excellence
for the decorations and the floats and to
make as much as possible of the enter
tainment free and open to all of the pub
lic. The assistance of tbe ladies is to be
called for in certain departments of the
work.
These are good ideas,and show that the
committee has alr<ady done some think
ing on the subject. The committee does
not profess Its ability to carry out these
plans to a satisfactory completion, but
proposes to do its best, and that is all
that can be asccd.
An executive committee has been se
lected containing live well known men,
all thoroughly experienced in public
work. These gentlemen are to manage
the business details of tho undertaking.
They are people who will undoubtedly
work In harmony with one another and
with the large advisory committee.
The citizens of Los Angeles have one
common interest in this matter, namely,
to see the Fiesta of 1896 as successful us
Its predecessors, with tne added excel
lence that must come from increased ex-
perience and wider enthusiasm. The
work is beginning none too early. Every
dollar tbat is needed to make the affair
a credit to the city should ha subscribed
as promptly as possible to give the man
agement plenty of time to attend to the
details that will como later. Every ctti
ten and corporation should foal and
should show a direct Interest In the suc
cess of the- enterprise. Los Angeles has
achieved an enviable reputation for har
monious and consistent worK for tha
public good, and no undertaking is more
in need of this kind of work nor pro
duces better results to tbe community
than the Fiesta.
From Chicago comes the news that a
young lady in church, last Sunday, waa
put into a hypnotic trance by the melody
of the organ. There would probably be
no dange'of a patient doing anything
violent under such circumstances. But
the incident is suggestive of possibly
grave consequences. For instance, if ■
person thus susceptible should come un
uer the influence of such piano torture as
is wafted from some Los Angeles win
dows, the trend of the hypnotized mind
would be in the direction of man
slaughter.
W. J. BUSBY
An interesting subject for the psycholo
gist is furnished in tbe case of Busby,the
poisoner. Tbe motivo, always a salient
point in an investigation of homicide, is
remarkable. There was no woman in the
case, no real or fancied injury of any
kind. Tbe negro thought tbat if he
should poison anotber negro.who appears
to have been a personal friend, he would
have a chance to get the dead man's sit
uation on tbe railroad. It would be nirfl
cult to find in the history of homioide so
deliberate, cold-blooded and diabolical a
crime ander the impulse of so trivial a
cause; and, yet, in this very case, we
may expect soon to see another strange
psychologic manifestation. We dislike
to admit it, but there are probably wo
men in this city sufficiently addle-pated
to trudge up to the jail and embower this
davilisb miscreant in flowers.
The president of tbe Anti-cruelty society
of San Francisco is agitated aDout the
spectacle of "bicyole riders spinning
through tha park with Infants strapped
to the handle-bars of their wheels." But
whom will he proceed against? It would
bo rough on tbe meek baby tenders to ar
rest them for obeying orders,and the new
wumeu, prtjsUiuptiTw owners of the in
fants, could not he held directly responsi-
Dla. Possibly a compromise might be
effected by strapping the infants on the
backs of the wheelers, a la papoose.
AT THE THEATERS
The Bnrbank—Jane has not lost any
of Its popularity, judging from the large
audience that was in attendance last
evening at the reproduction of this popu
lar comedy which had such a successful
run at this theater the week before last.
At the urvgent request of many patrons
of the bouse the piece was again given
last night with the same cast as hereto
fore presented by this competent com
pany. So much has been said as to the
many excellent funny situations in this
play that little remains to be added to
the already favorahie expressions that
iiave been chronicled previously. The
big audience last night laughed until the
tears ran down tneir cheeks and there i
was btit little deviation In this respect
from the moment the curtain rang up
until the final scene. Miss Anna Parker
as Jane sustained her well-known charac
ter that few can equal and none surpass.
Regarding the balance of the cast they
have been all favorably spoken of and
they carry out their respectivde roles most
saisfactoriiy. Jane will be given again
to is evening, tomorrow nigbt and Wed
nesday evening for the last times during
the Gustave Frohroan engagement. On
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings
and at the Saturday ma'lnec The Colo
nel's Wives is underscored. It was well
received last week and judging from the
advance sale of seats its last presentaions
will be witnessed by large houses. Next
week is positively tbe iast of this com
pany, when The Minister, Sedley lirown,
will receive its initial production in this
city.
THE CONGRESSMAN FROM NEVADA
Silver Will Nat Be an Issue If Prosperity
Continues
NEW YORK, Set. 15.—Congressman
Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, chair
man of the executive committee of the
National Silver party, talked to a World
reporter at the Holland house today on
the future of free and unlimited coinage
of silver as a political issue.
"I recognize the fact." be said, "that
If business couiinues to improve and it
turns out that tbe improvement is per
manent the silver issue is dead.
"The only discouraaing feature of tho
situation is the outflow of gold. At thi
particular time tbero ought to be a mar
ket abroad for staple export products,
wheat and cotton, but England does not
appear to be buying as ireely as usual.
It may be that the conditions will change
and the beginning of exportations will
cause an inflow of gold, but to us who
believe in the free aud unlimited coinage
of silver the situation is one tbat should
make it evident that the world cannot do
business with gold alone.
"Nevertheless, I am frank to admit
that with the return of prosperity silver
ceases to be an issue, for when the peo
ple are occupied with profitable business
affairs they have neither the time nor
the inclination to discuss money ques
tions."
ITexicsn Congress to Open

beauty and costliness.

JLOS HEBAia): MOTTDAT SEPTEMBER 16, 1899.
ELKS IN SOCIAL SESSION
The Occasion Wu to Honor of
Walter S. Moore
A Peast el Wit, Song, Speech and Story,
Accompanied by Refreshments, Mak*
the Night Merry
Walter S. Moor* is about to start on a
trip east and in his honor the Elks of the
city gave on* of their unique social ses
sions last night at their hall on Main
•treet. Walter S. Moore should, and
doubtess d..es, feel flattered by the hearty
eend-off which was tendered him. From'
8 o'clock until a late, or rather an early
hour, the feast of wit and song and
speech and story and merriment con
tinued. Tbero was fun enough to make
the proverbial barrel of monkeys green
with envy.
The Rev. Brother M. Lehman, the
presiding genius, was tine, tbat is he
fined frequently—and the boys ponied up
every time. Some one sang a baritone
solo and did it well.
"Will tbe gentleman who baa just
favored the company with a song step up
to the bar?" The gentleman obeyed.
"You are fined 50 cents."
"But. Mr. Lehman, what for?" Inquir
ed tbe astonished singer.
"For having a sore throat"—and then
sotto voice—"if you haven't one, egad,
you, a singer should have one, that's all.'
"Sisters," exclaimed Mr. Lehman at
another time, accompanying the word
with a vigorous pounding of the gavel
and pointing to the rear of the hall,
"bring up that whole back row, every
one ot 'em.'
The sister marshals, just four of them,
attopted to escort seven gentlemen to the
rostrum. The sister stags did not ex
hibit an alacrity suthciently pronounced
to satisfy the Rev. presiaer, who again
shouted, "Sisters,bring them to the front
and be quick about it.
The sisters gathered up their respective
mother hubhards showing with the aban
don of a Parisian coquette a plenitude
of embroidery, tucks, frills and lace,
made a swoop, a right about turn and
marched the trembling wretches to the
carpeled steps.
"Brother Whezer,you are fined 50 cents.
Brother Sneezer you most pay into the
treasury 75 cents. Brother (Jeeser you
pony up 26 cents." and so on down the
line, and the rattle of coin followed.
At 11 o'clock a circle of Elks was formed
upon the floor and each one with a glass
of Milwaukee champagne in hand, drank
' to our absent brothers."
Every one had a good time. Fully
three hundred guests were present and all
were entertained beautifully. Refresh
ments, liqnids and solids were passed
around frequently.
A DETECTIVE SUICIDES
No Motive Is Known for the Deed—He Took
Two Shots at Himself
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.—Detect
ive Daniel Coffey killea himself shortly
before 8 o'clock tonight. His family are
unable to ascribe any motive for the
deed.
The detective had been quieter than
usual at the dinner table in the after
noon, and had gone upstairs afterwards
to his room. He bad undressed but had
not gone to bea. Instead, clad only in
nis underclothing, he had gone to the
bath room and lighted the gas. Appar
ently be had sat down on tne floor and
had then shot himself. His head had
fallen back aod deatu was instantaneous
with tho second snot; the first shot had
missed.
Detective Coffey won one of the best
members of the San Francisco police
force, and many Of the most daefointe
criminals who are now serv'nK sentences
in the state prison owe their captivity to
bis untiring efforts to put an end to
wrong doing. He was born in Limerick
Ireland, on January 16, 1840. When a
boy he came to America. Early in the 60's
he arrived in San Francisco, after serv
ing an apprenticeship as a cooper. He
obtained employment in tho cooperage
department at the old sugar refinery on
Eighth and Brannan streets. He worked
there until appointed on the police force
in November, 1860. Three years later he
was made a detective.

but slight damage to the property. It
was found tbat some one had taken off
the tips from twelve gas burners, and
then lighting the gus, had turned the
flames ngainst tbe woodwork. In the
basement tbe cap had been unscrewed
from the gas pipe and the lighted gas
was also directed against the woodwork.

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
World's Fair Hizhest Awsutf-
THE PASSING OF MUTCH
Another Joke Was Played on Him
Last Saturday
He ana tile Friend, the "Eminent Specialist,"
Thought They Were Interviewing
Busby, but It Was Another Fellow
"Humph."
That was all Protestor Leslie R. Mutch
said yesterday in the Herald office wten
he read the story in the paper about how
he and his friend the "eminent special
ist" had been taken in at the county jail
last Friday afternoon, when they sup
posed they were examining James Sharp.
"Dam ' is probably what ne thought,
but then he d:<l not say anything in the
hearing of any member of this paper or of
Bill Nye, so there is nothing to report re
garding the utterances of the skilled hu
man scientist.
I'rofessor Mutch was up bright and
early to read his kind contribution on
the analysis of Sharp, but very fortu
nately for him this paper happened to
have been posteil regarding the joke and
told what had really occurred. It was a
sad day for the professor when ho and
his friend, the "eminent specialist,"
gave their opinions of Sharp.
Everybody at the county jail was de
lighted over the article and it is very
probaole that a vote of thanks will bo
taken and sent to this paper for (ridding
them of the troublesome visitor aud his
Dundreary spinach.
As if to'add insult to injury a second
joke was played on the two scientists last
Saturday and about a man whom they
had seen the day before. The professor
and his friend, the "eminent scientist."
went to the jail and asked to see Busby,
the colored poisoner. When the man was
brought down from the tanks for their
examination it was not Busoy, but an
other colored man named Squire Breck
enridge, who had been sent in fiom El
Monte charged with embezzlement. Both
of the scientists had seen Bushy and
tslked with him at the polios station he
fore, but. with childish simplicity and a
display of confidence tbat was unusual
they started in to question tbe supposed
Busby. It is not. necessary to tell wnat
they said or the replies they received, hut
it was not until the end of ten minutes
tnat the mistake was discovered.
Why the two allowed themselves to be
imposed upon cannot be stated. Busby
is very dam, while tbe nan they exam
ined is quite light. In all probability
tho thought that so great an amount of
light nad been thrown on the character
of Husby that nothing about him re
mained dark and their influence bad
causeu even the man's pigments to as
sume a tinge of light.
Be that as It may. the two will he a lit
tle leary hereafter in how they bother
those at the jail.
