CLOTHES FOR CUBANS Phipped by the International Brother hood League The Los Angeles branch of the Interna tional Brotherhood league, 525 West Fifth street, will ship to New York this week 800 pounds of clothing, mainly for women and children. It will be sent to Mrs. -Cath erine Tlngley, the league president, and from there will be sent to Cuba. The ship ment contains a variety of useful garments, almost all of new material, and a large sup ply of children's clothes, many of which were sent In to headquarters unsolicited. This Is the beginning of a movement of tho league to send assistance to the Cu ban people and others who may need It In out newly acquired possestsons. A society has been formed by Mrs. Tlngley called the "Sisters of Compassion," composed of trained nurses and workers In other lines, some of whom will be sent to Cuba at once. A hospital and free refreshment station for soldiers has also been established near Montauk Point, N. J. Look Out for Crooks Chief of Police Glass Is of the opinion that the city Is Infested with a gang of pro fessional diamond snatchers and pickpock ets, as the theft of a valuable stud from F. E. Browne Tuesday night certainly proves that the gang has begun operations. The route of the gang has been traced from Sacramento south, for they "touched off" a number of people in the capital city, and later were heard from In Oakland, and now are evidently in Los Angeles. If people desire to retain their jewels they should be careful In wearing them to public places of amusement, as Mr. Browne's diamond was •nipped Just after he and his wife had left the Orpheum theater. Harness Thief Caught Officer Broadhead took John Peterson to the police station yesterday on a charge of petty larceny, and In the afternoon Pe terson was convicted before Justice Morri son. Peterson had at one time been em ployed at the Pony livery stables on Re quena street. Peterson went there and placed a quantity of harness in a sack and started away.

Every physician in the city who has so desired has been supplied with a dlph theretlc test case, returnable lo the health board as soon as used. Hundreds of these cases have been taken and used. The case consists of a swab to be used upon the throat of the patient and a tube filled with a prepared gelatin which forms especially prepared ground for the development of the microbe of diphtheria In a few hours when properly handled. Physicians have, In suspicious cases, used the outfit and then sent It to Dr. Powers, who hss been able to tell them whether the diagnosis of diphtheria was correct or not. There have been many cases of true diph theria In this city, but owing to the fact that they were recognised by the test mentioned before they had reached the infectious stage, and the patient Isolated, no epidemic has ensued. Dr. Powers yesterday sent to every physician In the city a prepared micro scopic slide upon which he asked that a s'ngle drop of the blood of any patient showing symptoms of typhus fever, or ty phoid fever, be placed and allowed to dry, and then sent at once to the health office, where the assistants are prepared to make microscopic and other tests to determine whether the disease Is true typhoid or not. This method of treating diseases Is now generally adopted throughout the United States and Europe and has proved a mar velous help in suppressing epidemics. It Is hoped by the health officer that every physician In the city will lend the office their aid In the work undertaken, which lias already proved lis value. THE CITY'S FTN/ANCES Supplementary Report of the Commit tee Hot Yet Ready The supplementary report of the finance committee of the city council upon the ap portionment of the revenues to be derived (torn the tax levy for the ensuing year has not been made and probably will not be for some days. In allotlng to the various departments the sums scheduled only a gross sum wss mentioned and whether salaries were raised or salaries cut was not stated. It ts this fact that Is worrying the many employes of the city and they await with Impatience a detailed state ment as to how the money allotted each department of the city government shall be spent. Street Sprinkling The question as to whether A. P. Cross, who now holds the contract for street sprinkling, Is compelled to sprinkle streets that are not graveled or paved but only graded, will come before the council at its next meeting. Cross and Councilman Toll had an argument over the matter yesterday In which City Attorney Crutcher partici pated. Toll held that under his contract Cross must sprinkle all graded streets. Cross held, and Crutcher sustained him, that he was only• compelled to sprinkle streets which were graded and graveled according to the ordinances. Cross has been sprinkling a number of streets graded with natural soil free of charge, but owing to the scarcity of water he says he can no longer afford to do It. These streets, Cross claims, and Crutcher agrees, are not graded within the meaning of the or dinances and hence should not besprinkled, except by private contract. The matter will have to be speedily settled, or there will be many dusty side streets In the city. Fire Commissioners The board of Are commissioners met In regular session yesterday and transacted simply routine business with but one ex ception. Commissioner Wells announced that he Intended at the next meeting of the council to recommend.that a full paid Are department be established In this city at the earliest possible moment. Commis sioner Wells Is supplied with facts and figures which he hopes will appeal to the councllmen both on the grounds of economy and added efficiency of the service. It Is probable the commissioner will put his case In the form of a petition giving com parative figures as to the cost of a full paid and a part paid department. Water Hatters The weekly schedule of receipts, etc., which the water company Is supposed to file with the city auditor, will probably be filed today. The third arbitrator to act with James C. Kays and Captain Healey In the settlement of the questions submitted to the board of arbitration will be selected this week. Immediately upon his selection the work of settling the water troubles will begin. More Protests Frotests against the opening of New High street continue to come In. The residents and property owners say they will be In jured by the opening of the street and that the Broadway tunnel will serve every pur pose. PROCESS BUTTER Furnished by Los Angeles Merchants to the Soldiers' Home Director Hooker, chairman of the com mittee on manufactures of the chamber of commerce, to which the matter of the Soldiers' home being supplied with oleo margarine Instead of butter had been re ferred, preaented the following report yes terday at the regular meeting of the board of directors: "We find It to be true that the manage ment of the national home In Dos Angeles county, California, has recently contracted for 17,000 pounds of oleomargarine, to be used during the period .railing Dee. 31, 1898. Your committee regrets to report, also, thai it has ascertained that some of the merchants of this city, to whom have been let previous contracts for 'fresh Califor nia creamery butter,' delivered to the home an eastern 'process* butter, Instead of the article specified. "This 'process' butter Is said to be a con glomeration of all sorts of strong, rancid, and otherwise disreputable butter, which has been melted, subjected to a partially de odorizing process and afterward churned In milk, colored and salted so as to give the) stuff a semblance of choice butter. Our information la to the effect that a *. . - ' M ':. LOS ANGELES HERALD* THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER I. 1898 genuine oleomargarine Is infinitely better and more wholesome than the so-called 'process' butter. "We regret to learn that any of our merchants .have been so mercenary as to deliver to the home so objectionable an ar ticle as 'process' butter, thus not only ex hibiting- a disregard for the comfort of the old soldiers, but also creating such a pre- judice as to constrain tihe management of the home to contract for eastern oleomar garine Instead of 'California creamery butter.' "We also regret that the managers of the Soldiers' home have not had the ser vices of an attache possessing such ac curate knowledge as to be able to detect the Impositions which have been practiced and who would be authorized to promptly reject articles which did not absolutely meet the requirements of the printed spec ifications, and who would ,T,-mand of con tractors the delivery of goods which would come strictly within both the letter and the spirit of their contracts. "The Soldiers' home being a national and not a state institution, is not amtmable to the statutes of California, which make It unlawful for any state Institution to use oleomargarine or any Imitation of pure butter. Therefore, the laws of this state cannot be Invoked in the premises. Your committee canniot, therefore, recommend any legal remedy, but It most heartily ap proves of the disposition of persons inter ested In the dairy products of Southern California to agitate the question, and at least assist in bringing the actual facts be fore the public." The committee on Immigration reported In the matter of establishing California headquarters In New York for the pur pose of advertising the state, that it could not recommend giving the financial sup port requested. A communication was read from the Manufacturers' Exposition company of Oakland, asking the chamber to use Its good offices In procuring exhibits In this section of the state, which was referred to the committee on manufactures. The Hlcks-Judd company of San Fran cisco has asked the chamber for matter per taining to Los Angelas county and South ern California, to be used in their monthly publication entitled "About California,"and It was referred to the committee on sta tistics. The secretary was Instructed to get estimates on a new city and county map for use in the chamber's pamphlets. LOS ANGELES WINS The First Match of the Santa Monica Cricket Tournament The Santa Monica cricket tournament commenced yesterday with a spirited con test between teams representing Los An geles and Duarte, the old-time rivals of many an Interesting match. A capital wicket had been prepared on the Polo club grounds and the day was an Ideal one for cricket. The farmers won the toss an? de cided to bat. P. Pedley shewed excellent form. Patterson played a most oareful and Invaluable Inning, and Westhorp hit and was hit In very plucky fashion. Bel field and Walker both bowled well, but the Los Angeles team was sadly in need of one or two respectable change bowlers. Duarte plied up the very respectable score of 124. For Los Angeles Jones Bateman and Walker both played well, but it was J. Scott's sturdy defense and line hitting power that won the match for the towns folk. Young bowled steadily and effec tively and his only mistake was In putting himself in so late in the game. The field ing of both teams was somewhat ragged, but was redeemed by some brilliant work, particularly Squire's catch which dismissed Pedley. The following were the scores: Duarte-Covina Team J. W. Patterson, run out 25 C. E. Manning, b. Belfieid 2 R. L. Ward, b. Beltleld 3 W. H. Young, b. Walker 1 A. J. Wllkins, b. Bellield 2 P. Pedley, c. Squire, b. Walker 27 H. Westhorp, not out 32 C. F.

L. Waring. W. H. Young, E. W. Barry. P- Pedley, J. A. Lester, H. Jardlne, G. Os borne, G. Steams, W. E. Pedley, A. Butcher and A. N. Other. An Unusual Experience William Alexander has the unusual ex perience of being tried twice on the same charge. About a week ago he was driving along the Redondo road In company with a woman friend, and happening to pass where some potatoes were growing in a field, he expressed the desire to dig some. The woman told him to proceed, as she had standing permission from the owners to help herself. Alexander dug nearly a sackful, when he was Interrupted by th; advent of some excited Chinese, who de manded why he was stealing from their ranch. They took his rig and extorted $10 from him and then caused his arrest on a charge of petty larceny. At his trial be fore Justice Sexton Alexander did not deny having taken the potatoes, and was fined 125. The real facts were afterwards learned and a new trial was ordered. Who Will Be Our Next President? Politicians are now reported as planning for the presidential campaign of 1900, but the war has so overshadowed all other mat ters that politics Is almost unnoticed. Many people are of the opinion that the opposing candidates will be the same as In 1896, but there may be a "dark horse" who will step In and win the race. Popularity has much to do with candidates. This Is also true with medicine. The most popular remedy today Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and tt has retained this popularity for many years. Science never discovered the equal of this medicine for stomach, liver, kidney and blood diseases. It builds up solid flesh tissue, dispels poisons from the sys tem. Imparts vigor and vltnlity to all organs and makes life worth living. A single bot tle will make a big change for the better In women as well as In men. Try It. Boy Coasters Lectured Several boys wtre arrested yesterday by Officer Walker on Olive street between Temple and Court streets, for coasting. There are some sick people In that vicinity and the noise the boys made riding down the sidewalks annoyed them. Captain Robert administered a lecture to the youngsters and then sent them home.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS OF THE SEVENTH SESION OPEN TODAY 1 Alms of the Organization—Papers to Be Bead and Those Who Will Bead Them The seventh national Immigration con gress opened its session at Cheyenne, Wyo., this morning, and will continue It for three days. The objects of the congress may be briefly stated, via: A large percentage of the acre age of the United States is arid or semi arid. Much of that great area may be re claimed and turned Into fertile fields by tht utilization of the waters of the streams and by the impounding of the storm waters of the mountains, valleys and plains, for use during the long seasons of drouth. Ad ditional national and state legislation is required. Much has been accomplished in this direction and no questions are being more discussed by the newspapers and periodicals of the United States than those which affect the arid sections of its terri tory. The people of every state are directly In terested in these questions. At the present rate of increase of population the time is short before every portion of the United States will be crowded with those seeking new places to build up homes and to gain a competency for themselves and families.

Parker won in twelve rounds from Bob last year, the contest being stopped by the ref eree, but since then Thompson has Im proved greatly and he Is confident he will redeem his lost laurels.

Holmes, E. C. Dockstader, L. A. Conkllng and W. S. McKoag of this city and S.. H. Holmes of Corona passed a pleasant vacation near Temecula, Riverside county, this month. All of the party with the exception of Conk llng and McKeog drove from Riverside to Smith's mountain, but they did not remain on account of the scarcity of water. Places which had never before In the history of the county been dry were entirely without water, so the crowd turned northward. They were to have been joined by Conkllng and McKeag at Smith's mountain, but met them on the return trip. They went to Cold Water canyon and passed o week or more. The fishing was excellent) and the party returned last week.

Vandeventer, proprietors of the Belleville lodging house, No. 31514 South Main street were robbed of tSST.EQ Tuesday night. Mrs. Vandeventer keeps her cash In a satchel, which Is deposited in a wardrobe in her room. Between 9 and 10 ocolck Mr. and Mrs. Vandeventer left their room to visit another room, and on their return discovered that the door to the wardrobe, which Is always kept locked, was standing ajar. An Investigation by Mrs. Vandeventetr showed that the satchel and money were missing. The burglar secured entrance by picking the lock of an adjoin ing room and going through a connecting door. Vandeventer thinks that some lodger must have committed the burglary, as the thief evidently knew the location of the satchel and made no attempt to rifle a bu reau close by, which contained considera ble Jewelry. The robbery was reported to the police. NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS The Santa Fe Has More Washouts in Arizona The Santa Fe company Is again strug gling with washouts on its line in Arizona. This time the difficulties have arsen n«ar the California line Just east of Needles. Many miles of track have been carried away and torrents were flowing over the road yesterday morning. Chief Clerk Walker of the superintend ent's office stated yesterday afternoon that he expected that yesterday's, the day's be fore and today's trains would all come In seme time this evening, as all preparations had been made to have the line In perfect order today. This was with the expecta tion that there would be no more rains to fnterfere with the work of repair. The good luck of the Southern Pacific continues to be with that company, for It has not had any trouble of the washout order for ten days or more. The Santa Fe is intending, If all arrange ments turn out well, to build a loop on the proposed Lakevlew branch from Perris to Alessandro via Newport's ranch, Lake view, Moreno and Armada. The Southern Pacific's surveyors are still at work between San Pedro and Re dondo. The company has a spur extendtng three miles out to the north of San Pedro, leaving onfy twelve miles to be built to make a connection to Redondo. This would give it a belt line to all of the beach resorts on the coast. Mr. Crocker of the Southern Pacific Is expected to arrive here In a few days to Inspect the progress of the plan to supply water to San Pedro from Long Beach. He Is Interested deeply In the townslte owned at San Pedro by members of the Southern Pacific company, and will take steps to arrange for placing this property on the market, now that the harbor is assured. The Southern Pacific company Is consid ering the project of operating but one train a day on the OJal railway to Nordhoff, as the beet sugar factory will not be operated this year owing to the shortage of the crop. What beets are grown in that lo cality will be shipped to the Chlno factory. MARRIAGE LICENSES Cupid Seems to Have Been Doing Double Duty Lately Alda M.
