DEMOCRATS AGAIN MEET City Convention Convened to Fill Vacancies WITH FOR 11 GOB Made in Several of tbe City Wards A MESSAGE TO W. J. BRYAN The Convention Sends Greeting to the Great Man Telllvi Mia o! the Victory Won In Los Angtles Chairman Creighton Announces the Ap pointment of the Executive Com mittee of the Democratic City Committee. The Democratic city convention was reconvened yesterday in Turnverein hall. The necessity for again calling th» general convention together was not ab solute, still it was considered to be the wise and proper policy. The facts are that there were vacan cies on the ticket to till owing to the fact that several nominees for the council and board of education had declined. The City committee was fully author ized to fill those vacancies, but it was deemed wise to have the duly author ized delegates representing .the whole people make the nominations. Then there could be no doubt that the nominations made would be satisfactory to the people, for they would be made I by their duly authorized representatives. At 10 oclock yesterday morn Ing Chair man Dockweiler called the convention lo order. There was a large attendance of delegates. Mr. Dockweiler announced that the purpose uf the convention was to make nominations for the council and the board of education in the Third and Fifth wards ar.d for the council in the Second and Seventh wards The delegates from the wards affecte.l then resolved Into ward conventions and later reported the following nomina tions : Second ward —For councilman, Jam os A. Craig. Thiiti ward—For councilman, Nicolas p. Wynne, For member of the board of education, George F. Herr. Pitch ward—For councilman, Frank Sabtchl. For member of the board of educa tion. J. H. Braly. Seventh ward —For councilman, James A simian. These nominations were all ratified. J. K. I'rmston was the opposing can didate in the Seventh ward. He claimed that he was nominated and. protested against the ratification of Mr. Ashman's nomination, in this ward there will be a squabble. ' In the Second ward C. Severance, the Populist nominee for the council with drew voluntarily. He found that he would be unable to make the fight. The nominee is a business man, and he will be elected. It is James A. Craig. Before the convention adjourned It. J. Colvtr secured the door and said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen—Here in the city of Los Angeles a notable victory has been wop against over whelming odds. For the first time m sixteen years—slr.ee IKfiO—the city of Los Angeles has cast a majority of its vote for the Democratic nominee for president of the United States. This is a great satisfaction to us who have labor ed so earnestly to bring the result about. However, our fellow citizens elsewhere in the nation have failed to agree with us. With them we have no fault to find, We take It that they have done their duty as Grod gave them the power to see It. and we feel that we have done what we conceived to be for the good of our country and its people. In the general, result we acquiesce as loyal citizens of the republic, but at the same time it is a source of satisfaction to us to know that here at home a majority of our friends and neighbors thought as we thought and did as we did. * "Therefore, Mr. Chairman. I move you that the chairman of this convention be directed to forward the following mess age to William J. Bryan: "William J. Bryan. Lincoln, Neb.; The Democracy of Los Angeles city in con vention assembled sends greeting. For Ihe first time in sixteen years a majori ty of the voters of Los Angeles city have cast their ballots for the Democratic nominee for president of the United States. We were with you in the start and remained with you to the end." The proposition met with unanimous approval and great applause. It was enthusiastically adopted and later in the day the message was wired to Mr. Bryan. BOWERS AND M LACHLAN. Both Are Placed on the Retired List by the Voters. The election ot Charles A. Barlow, which has been announced by the Her ald tor the last three days, Is now at last admitted by everybody. He will have a majority ot nearly 1000 when all the votes are in. As it is now, it is about 600—to be exact, 428. Bowers is beaten for congress in the Seventh district. He tried to advocate silver and the election of McKinley at the same time, but it was no go. His Inconsistency defeated him and Dr. H. N. Castle is elected by about 200 votes. William H. Carlson, mayor of Sar. Diego, ran independent and he pulled off enough votes to defeat Bowers. Fresno county knocked Bowers out. It gave a majority against him of 1600. The result in the state is still a mat ter of doubt. The Republican majority first claimed of 7000 has been pulled down to 4000 and it may be entirely wiped out by the official count. The Re publicans seem to have had the counters in this election all over the country and more particularly in California and Los Angeles county. In its tabulated statement of the result in this state the Times yesterday morn ing figured the McKinley majority at 2465. At that time Republicans here only claimed 1100. Since then that majority has been brought down to 900. All anybody wants in the matter of the count is a square deal, and that Is what Chairman Alford proposes to have. The fact that this state either went for Bryan of McKinley will not affect the result and cuts no figure. If the state on a square, fair, honest return has gone for McKinley, well and'good. Every loyal citizen will say amen. But if it has gone for Bryan the electoral vote should be cast for him and not for any body else. The official count will commence Mon day and that will s*tU« everything. The watchers are still guarding the ballots and they will continue to until after the count commences. GONE NORTH. Los Angeles Compelled to Give Up the Prize Banner to Alameda. About 100 Republicans left for Oak land last evening, carrying with them the Republican banner. Los Angeles county is no longer the banner Repub lican county of the state. Alameda county has taken the plum and gets the banner which Los Angeles county has held for six years. The Republicans of this city feel cha grined at being compelled to give it up. One of them said yesterday: "Col. Otis and the Times has lost us the banner. If the Democrats had hart an Alameda county edition of the Times printed and circulated up there during the campaign that county would have gone for Bryan. We figure that the policy pursued by the Times in the campaign in its support of McKinley lost I 4000 votes to the Republican electoral ticket. It is a rank hoodoo, and there j is no use trying to disguise the fact." BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT Will the League Nominate a Candidate For Mayor Will the ticket of the netter City Gov ernment remain acephalous? That Is the question which the league convention will decide In special session this after noon. John F. Francis' declination of the nomination for mayor has left th 3 league without a standard bearer, hence the delegates are requested to reassem ble in new Turner hall this afternoon to fill the vacancy or take whatever action may be deemed wise In the premises. General regret is expressed by mem bers of the league at Mr. Francis' ina bility to run. as he has been looked upon as the ideal candidate. There are others, but so far as can be learned not one of the several gentlemen prominently men tioned in connection with the office has yet consented to lend the use of his name. The reason given by them is the j demand made on their valuable time by I other duties and aversion to entering j politics. It may be that a man pnssess i Ing the high quallAcatlonstrequlred and | willing to thow himself into the breach will be found before the sun sets today. In the event of an independent can didate's fatlinig to materialize, the ques tion of indorsing one or the other of the standard-bearers of the old parties will I arise. There seems to be a well-defined purpose among the delegates, however, not to prejudice the chances of either Mr. Snyder or Mr. Martin by declaring for or against either of them. As the political organizations represented by each of the two regular nominees ac cording to the returns of the national election, apear to be about equally matched in this city, it will make a pretty dual combat If they are left to light It out alone, and one ln which he better man should win. A third can didate, to be elected, would have to be a man who would draw heavily from the natural support of the two other nominees. It is doubtful if such a man i is available at this juncture,but the com mittee will try to And one. ln juslflcatlon of the advisability of leaving the nomination open, it Is con tended that the office of mayor, under the present charter, is not of supreme Importance anyway.and that the league bad better let it go by default and bend its energies toward electing good men to the council and such offices as city clerk, assessor, etc., than to put up a mayoralty candidate whose hope of suc cess would be doubtful. Ordinarily the campaign committee of the league would have made a nomtnn | tion to fill the vacancy, but that com j mittee has not yet been appointed. Fur ; thermore, the central committee con ; sidered the question of such grave im : portance that It was thought best to let : the delegates chosen by the postal pri l lnary assume the responsibility of set , tling it. Accordingly a call was ts ; sueil for a special session.. All the dele ; gates are urged to be in attendance : promptly at 2 p. m. so the business can I be concluded before nightfall, i The delegates from the Seventh ward j will nominate a candidate for council ! man in lieu of W. E. Keller, the postal I primary nominee, who has been declar ! Ed inelllgihle by the superior court, i The central committee of the leagup ■ held a brief session last evening, but transacted no business of importance. READY FOR THE FRAY Democratic City Central Committee Is Now Fully Organized The Democratic rentral committee is now fully organized and ready to com mence the work of the municipal cam paign. The chairman of the committee. Telfair Creighton, has named the following ex ecutive or campaign committee. This committee will hold Its first meeting next Monday afternoon at 2 p. m: First ward, William Mead. Second ward. Martin C. Marsh. Third ward. W. A. Ryan. Fourth ward, Dr. M. M. Kannon.

Waldron returns thanks to all the friends who supported him for as semblyman from the Seventy-third dis trict. To the Democrats and to the Populists, all of whom loyally support ed him, he feels obligated. RENTED A BICYCLE. But Neglected to Return It and Is Now in Jail. A barefooted street Arab about 12 years old faced the police clerk at the booking desk last evening at 5 oclock and tried to explain why he had not re turned a rented bicycle. His name was given as George Gray, an orphan who had but recently come from San Diego and was without home or friends. On Friday afternoon he had a few cents, with which he hired a wheel from the Dayton agency on Broadway. He kept the bicycle until long after the time it should have been returned, and then being afraid to take It back stood it up alongside the curb by the Santa Fe depot and crawled into a barn to sleep for the night. When he got out In the morning the wheel was gone, he knew not where. Feeling uneasy about it he went to the bicycle store and asked whether or not they had got it, and was by the propri etor, Mr. Fisk, taken to the police sta tion. George was put in Jail by the of ficers and a search made for the wheel, but without success. What he will be charged with is as yet problematical, although an embezzlement complaint will probably be sworn out. COW THIEF CAPTURED. Officer Talamantes Makes a Clever Catch In Sonoratown. Officer Talamantes, who does duty in Sonoratown, but who has of late been extensively employed in the detective department of the city police force, made another clever capture yesterday, land ing Joe Robbete, an Italian, behind the bars on a charge of grand larceny. On the night of October 29th A. De vleux, residing at 1205 Alhambra avenue, staked out his milch cow on a lot ad- LOS ANGKELEB HERALD: SATURDAY MOR!NTN€r, NOVEMBER 7, 18r«. Joining his. only to wake In the morn ing and And the animal gone. He report ed the matter to the police and Talaman tea was detailed to work up the case. Although there was but few clews to work upon the officer soon found where the cow had been sold to a butcher and converted Into beef. The hide of the animal w as still in evi dence, also the halter and picket chain by which she had been fastened. A de- 1 scrlptlon of the party who sold the cow was furnished by the butcher and Rob bete was arrested yesterday morning at his room In the S. pulveda block on North Main street. He has been posi tively Identified as the man who sold the cow to be killed for beef ani today he will be arraigned ln the police court for grand larceny. CAUGHT WITH THE PLUNDER A Sporty Younjj Man Accused of Two Burglaries S. G. Neal Likes Fine Clothes and Per fumes, So Took Means to Gratify His Desires Wearing a natty suit of clothes, a Jaunty little bicycle cap and in general I presenting the appearance of a dashing young sport, S. G. Neal, whom the de tectives denominate as a "smooth guy," w as last night shortly after 6 landed in the city jail with at least two charges of burglary to answer for. Neal has been In the city since last February and evidently has refined and expensive tastes to gratify if the stolen articles found In ills possession are an indication of his preferences. Full dress suits of the finest broadcloth, black di agonal cutaways and cheviot business suits, all custom made he had on hand, and the assortment of colognes, costly perfumes and essences found in his room would make a society belle sick with envy. On the night of October 11th last there was stolen from room 14 of the Lan franco block about $400 worth of per fumes, mostly of the finest description, in cut glass bottles. The stock had Just been moved in from 211 Commercial street and had not been arranged on the shelves. Entrance was effected through a window- opening into a hallway and the thief stole all he could carrya away. No clew was ever discovered to the perpe trator of the robbery. Agan, on October 211, during the night, the store of the Buffalo Woolen company at 248 S. Broadway was entered at the front door by some one using a false key. From the place a line full dress broad cloth coat, a black coat and vest and a full business suit of gray cheviot were taken. The swallow tail was not en tirely completed and still had the bast ing threads in it. The other clothes were ready to wear. All these goods were re covered last night and Neal is the ac cused thief. He came to this city with a medium for whom he acted as a sort of advance agent, but the latter after a stay of Eev everal months left town and forgot to take Neal along. Neal was learning tel egraphy and meanwhile was stopping at a fashionable boarding house on South Hill street, where he had a cheap top-story room. He sported good clothes but failed to pay his bills, which aroused suspicion. The attention of the officers was called to him and his actions were watched. Special John Shields was detailed on the case and assisted by Detectives Ali ble and Hawley brought Neal to book. Last evening a descent on his room was made while he w as out and a search in stituted. In a closet were found the suits of clothes, brand new and unworn, a telescope grip full of large bottles of perfumery, which had been opened, and a box packed full of the finest goods ready for shipment east. When Neal came in he was disagreeably surprised and was at once marched off to the sta tion. He was searched and the evidences of his profession found ln ' his There were skeleton keys and a number of lock picks made from button hooks, nippers, etc. A key which fits the front door of the clothing company's store was also discovered. The prisoner maintain a stolid demeanor and refused to say anything. After refusing to answer questions he was locked up for the night The officers profess to believe that he is an eastern crook and that several more jobs can be traced to him. At any rate they have two distinct and clear cases, both of which will be pressed and Neal will be sent over the road for a term of years tf possible. BOTH HORSES AND COWS. Fillo Luckette Now Has Another Charge to Answer. It was only Thursday afternoon that Fillo Luckette was arraigned in the po lice court on a grand lareey charge of stealing a horse and buggy from A. J. Bennett, proprietor of the Westminster stables on Fourth street, and had date Of examination set. Now the police detectives have another case to prosecute him upon, the theft ot a cow. It is alleged that a few days ago Luckette stole the animal from where It was picketed out on Mission road and sold tne animal to a butcher. The cow was killed but the hide, the picket chain and halter have been recovered and arc held as evidence of the crime. Luckette has been Identified by the butcher to whom he sold the cow and by two other parties who saw the animal in his pos session. Numerous tbefts of the kind have lately been reported and the olH cers may be able to trace further miss | ing cows to bis door. ! MISDEAMEANOR EMBEZZLEMENT An Ex-Collector Arrested on a Serious Charge On a complaint sworn to by J. C. Mc- Kinney of the Ice and Cold Storage com -1 pany of this city, Thomas Morgan was : yesterday afternoon arrested by Detec tive Steele on Main street and locked up for embezzlement. Morgan was formerly employed by the company as driver and collector, but quit a week or two ago. It was claimed that he had collected something over $80 for the company and that, deducting about $40 due him as wages, he failed to account for $42.35. On this score the com | plaint was Issued and the arrest fol lowed. Morgan claims that the arrest Is a mistake, and that the whole affair arises out of business differences. He was arraigned before Justice Morri son and examination set for today. Kail was fixed, but it was late in the evening before it was secured and Morgan was released. INJURED WHILE AT PLAY. A boy named Willie Stephens, resid ing at No. 560 West Sixth street near the corner of Hill, was brought to the re ceiving hospital at 5 oclock yesterday afternoon by a citizen who found him lying near Sixth street park in a helpless condition. The lad said that he had at tempted to jump a fence while at play and fell and was knocked unconscious. His right arm was dislocated at the el bow and was set by Dr. Bryant, after which he was sent home. AT THE THEATERS LOS ANGELES THEATER.—The au dience present la3t night was one of the most fashionable that has gathered in this house this season, and withal, it was likewise one of the largest assemblages gathered there since the days of the Bos tonians. The Little Trooper, a spark ling vaudeville operetta, was the bill, presented by the Delia Fox Comic Opera company. Perhaps there is no one before the footlights who possesses the charming personality of Delia Fox. Her history on the lyric stage reads like- a page from some brilliant and captivating romance. Since the days not so long agone when as a winsome girl, alblet she is barely 24 years old now, she charmed and de lighted play-going people by her superb presentment of Yvonne in Mlllocker's tuneful opera The King's Fool, until the present epoch when she has had ali fashionable New York at her feet, ac knowledging her a queen In her respect ive positions In Ihe lyric equally as pop ular as the statuesque Lillian Russell, this petite singer has achieved her suc cess by earnest, conscientious effort. Neither has this pre-eminence been bounded alone by her attractive physi cal graces, for. gifted with a voice of singular sweetness, flexibility and power, she is subtly forceful ami versa tile in histrionic lines, and limns the emotions, ihe play of feeling, the clouds and sunshine of fair femininity with a graphic fidelity and alertness that re veals in all her presentments the con ■ SUmmate student, who. bad; of the les sons of experience, has the- Are an.! Hame of true histrionic genius. As Clalrete Duval, there is a rare opportu nity for manifestation of her multifar ious talents and she fairly fascinated that large audience Inst night with the charm and felicity of hor personality. The operetta was beautifully staged as to principals, chorus ami accessories. The chorus is made ol young and unusu ally pretty girls and the y can sing. .Mis. Dragging as Mathllde Louvln gave us a finished Impersonation. She has a pure, fresh, melodious voice and is a re markably handsome girl. Mr. Mc- Donough as Glbard gave us some fine grotesque comady. He is a splendid ac tor and his fun-making was most po tential. He was ably seconded by Mr. Blair as Benoit. Mr. Ohllvers as Emlie, the fickle husband, and Mr. Campbell as Mlchonnet were both strong assump tions, and both are gifted with remark ably good voices. Mr. Dungan'S Colonel was of course good, and Miss Frigahza as Octavie lent piquancy and sparkle to the scenes in which she participated. The choral work in ihe last act Is nota bly fine. In fact, the musical score of Little Trooper is of the light, catchy. French bouffe school, interspersed with quite a number of gems of melody. In the Anale Miss Fox was literally covered with diamonds. This afternoon the Lit tle Trooper will be given at the matinee and tonight the romantic operetta, Fleur de Lis will be the bill. * ♦ • THE ORPHEUM. —A sensational vaudeville bill will be presented at this house at the matinee today. THE BURBANK.—Town Topics, that very laughable farce comedy which has been playing at the Burbank the past week, closes Its engagement with a mati nee today and the last performance to night. It Is a very funny play, present ed by clever people and anyone in need of a good laugh should take advantage of these two performances and enjoy themselves. The Ideal Opera company follows in Offenbach's opera, Madam Favart. MAKING ARTIFICIAL EARS. Those Who Need the Luxuries Are Com pelled to Pay for Them. If there Is one branch of scientific manufacturing that would seem to have reached perfection within the last dec ade it is the making of artificial ears. Such perfect reproductions are turned out nowadays that they cannot be dis tinguished, even upon a fairly close in spection, from the natural ear. Made of a specially prepared rubber, flesh-col ored In the rough, they are painted by hand' In exact imitation of the remain ing ear of the unfortunate customer, and as carefully "touched" nnd marked over as an artist's picture. This is nec essary, for an artificial ear mu3t be perfect to be acceptable, and such care ful work pays the maker, for he gets $100 apiece for them. fn a certain workshop, the other day, where much scientific work Is done, there was .shown to a Tribune repre sentative a little box some seven or eight inches long, less than two Inches broad and hardly half an inch high. "There is $uOO worth of goods in that box," said the foreman as he lifted off the cover, displaying five rubber ears lying in cotton. "These are for four dif ferent men and one woman —you see that little ear there—ami all they need now is for the artist to call for them and touch 'em up according to slips we'll give him telling just how thecolor lng should go on. We studied ou. cus tomers carefully when we took the or ders. "A hundred dollars seems a big price, doesn't tt, to pay for a little thing like one of those ears, that's so flexible you can crumple it up in your hand easily? But people that have never made arti ficial ears have no Idea of the work that in on them. There is no guessing about making them. You have to be as exact as If you were carving out a statue. In the first place, when a men comes here to get an ear to replace one he's lost, we take a mold of the ear he has left, and if there is any part of the other we must get a mold of that, too, so as to be able to lit on the new ear. There are no two ears exactly the same, and it takes our most skilled workmen to get an ear from this mold or pair of molds that is lifelike and appears to have the color of licsh. "When finished the new ear is pasted on the old stump, or simply set precisely where the old ear was, and not one man in 1000 can tell the difference. It is really only the first ear that is expensive. What costs is to make the mold. If a man has his mold with us we will give him a du plicate ear for about $-0 each. There is one customer on our books hailing from Chicago who buys live ears a year from us on an average. I don't know what he does with them all, but he seems to want them. "The demand, take It altogether, is limited, and I don't suppose we ever turn out more than twenty new ears a year. We have only been making them up to our present standard a couple of years, by the way. "This vulcanized rubber that can be bent anil twisted experience has taught us is the best material to use. We have, experimented with nearly everything Last summer we tried aluminium, think ing that it would be lighter, but. do our best, the ear turned out far heavier, and, besides, the metal would not lend Itself nearly as well as rubber to the Imita ting of flesh tints. "How do people lose their ears? In two ways chiefly—in railroad accidents or by getting caught In machinery. The former is by far the more common."— New York Tribune. CURIOSITIES OF NATURE AND ART D.

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY. Anaheim Residents Come to Grief on Boyle Heights. | An elderly gentleman named Car/ Krause, accompanied by his son Paul, drove into town yesterday from Ana heim with a load of peanuts which they sold. While on the way home about 8 oclock last evening over on Boyle Heights, near the orphan asylum, their team ran away, upsetting the wagon and throwing both occupants out. The I elder Krause had two ribs broken ln the smash-up and the boy lit on his face, I disfiguring his countenance. Both were brought to the receiving hospital in a passing wagon. Dr. Ains worth attended them and dressed their injuries. The old man was painfully bruised about the body, but the boy es caped with a few scratches. A GLORIFIED SEALSKIN Moire will be a favorite silk for the winter season, whilst velvet will reign supreme. As I have told you before, velvet and braid mixed will be the rage.

Braiding may be very effective, but I think we shall get a little tired of it, for, | after all. it is not half so pretty mixed I with velvet as fur is. A lovely velvet frock had the hem of the skirt bor dered with chinchilla, and was made with a full bodice of moire with a deep chinchilla collar and velvet sleev>s.

Sealskin and chinchilla make a beautiful mixture, but I do not think quite so lovely as sealskin and sable, j However, just at present It is a little I more chic, and will undoubtedly be in I favor with the smart public.
