6 LOS ANGELES IS IN GALA ATTIRE CITY BEAUTIFULLYDECORATED FOR ELKS' REUNION PURPLE AND WHITE BLEND WITH RED, WHITE AND BLUE Hotels, Department Stores and Office Buildings Festooned with Flags §and Bunting—Evergreen Used at the Alexandria Elks' week and the Fourth of July combined to make Los Angeles Indeed a city of the angels. Every street and thoroughfare presents a dazzling dis play of bunting, red, white and blue interwoven with the purple and white. From every flagpole and from every building: fly the Stan and stripes. No fiesta de las Sores, nor celebration of any kind, has equaled In elaborateness of display and quality of design the present decorations of the Angel city. Every downtown building is be decked with American flags, purple and white bunting, and elk heads, grouped into novel and artistic designs, no labor nor expense having been spared to attire suitably Los Angeles as hostess for the great occasion. The spotless white costumes, designed epecially for the reunion of the Elks, are already conspicuous on the streets. To a person standing at Third and Main streets and looking west toward the tunnel a perfect maze of wav ing flags and fluttering pennants meets the eye. Over the entrance to nearly every store and building are the colors of the B. P. O. E. draped about the antlered head of the honored elk. Evergreen on Hotel At the Hotel Alexandria the decora tions are not yet completed, but already the hostelry presents a remarkably at tractive exterior. The entire balcony is trimmed with evergreen boughs, inter spersed with myriads of purple and white electric lights. Over the Spring street entrance is a large hand-painted elk head, while purple and white ribbon has been ordered from Chicago to trim the entire building. Probably the most novel feature in decorating throughout the entire city In a massive iron cage over the Fifth street entrance of the Alexandria. In this compartment will Mr. and Mrs. Alexandria establish their headquar ters. No, not the proprietors of the hotel, but two handsome, live elks, which have been brought from San Francisco for the express purpose of making Elks' week in Los Angeles realistic In every sense of the word. On the departure Of their fraternal brethren the elks will be donated to the city of Los Angeles and placed on exhibition. They will arrive Friday from San Francisco. Samuel J. Whitmore, general man ager of the Hotel Alexandria, and under whose supervision preparations are fast nearlng completion, Is con structing in the hotel basement a forest buffet. The buffet will be fitted with pine trees and the walls will show typical forest scenes. Over the bar will be placed three real elk heads, and everything possible will be done to give this novel feature an attractive appearance. The buffet was installed at the suggestion of Rush L. Holland, grand exalted ruler. Elk, Bear and Eagle The Herald company's offices ion Broadway are adorned with the stars and stripes and the purple and white. Over the entrance is a large elk head, while above the large window appear* a red. white and blue shield, sup ported on either side by a bear and an elk, typifying the state of California and the famous fraternal order, while above hovers the national bird, an eagle. The entrance to the chamber of com merce is likewise hung with American flags, an Immense banner being sus pended directly above them. One of the most elaborately deco rated buildings is the old Hamburger building, the headquarters of the Elks, on North Spring street. A large paint ing of the "Monarch of the Glen" is hung at the top of the building, while above it fly the stars and stripes, sur mounted by the American eagle, Six large elk heads grace the front ex terior of the headquarters, in addition to half a dozen large golden shields, a clock with the hands indicating the eleventh hour in the center and sup ported by the bear and the elk. The main entrance is hung with large pur ple and white curtains, fringed and tasseled with gold. The county tax collector's office Is another example of the decorator's art. Flags fly from every window, many of the banners bearing an elk's head on the purple and white. Three Hundred Flags on Building More than 300 small flags have been used In trimming the Lankershlm building at Third and Spring streets, while the Santa Fe offices are equally resplendent. At the latter place streamers have been extensively em ployed, a large star being at the top of long red and white stripes of bunt ing. At many street comers Japanese lanterns are being used, while others ore hung with puTple and white electric lights. The Hotel Angelus la also well be decked. The main entrance is hung with a large American flag surmounted by a magnificent antlered head. The entire building presents a handsome nance, the red, white and blui ngain combining with the colors of the P.. P. O. V.. to dress the hotel in gala style. The Southern Pacific offices vie with those of the Santa Fe in attractive decorations. In the window of the Sing Fat company, on South Broadway, is the largest bronze eagle in the world, holding in Its beak a silk emblem of. the United States Brock & Feagan's Jewelry store, on South Broadway, Is hung with twelve silk flags, the en trar^o being draped in purple and white and trimmed with orange. At the Broad c-ntrance to the Oc cidental hotel is a sign proclaiming the hostelry to be the headquarters of Pltti b lodge, No. 11, surmounted by a painting of the "Monarch of the Glen." All of the large Broad stores are suitably ..rated, the Bos ton Dry Goods company, the B. F. Coulter company, Jacoby Bros., the J. ■R. Lane company and many others being handsomely festooned. City Hall Decorated At the city hall an Immense Ameri ran flag is hung, while at the Fred J. Byrne building, at Third and Broad way, the stars and stripes and the purple and white alternate with each other In a charming fanliko design. Prominent Elks who are already In Los Angeles unite in declaring that the decorations are the finest which they have ever seen at any of their unions, and unstinting! praise Los Angeles hants and Elks for their enterprise. _ A Feminine Reason "But," asked the first co-i I. "win did you elect to ike up thi study of German Instead of French?" "Oh," replied the other, "the German professor was bo awfully handsome, you know."— Catholic Standard and Times.

However, I have repeatedly looked in the Letter Box for »oi ne to bring up a sub i consider more of a dancer and nuisance than the automobile rs, but so far have looked In vain, and now I 11 your atten tion tv it.

I have on a number of occasions barely escaped being run down only by Jump- Ing aside just at the right moment, and afe in faying this is the experi of almost everyone in this town. Why is the nuisance permitted, and why do not the police stop this reck less riding? if a man driving a horse and wagon goes across a crossing than a Walk he is liable to am n nd fine, but these motorcyclists and bii >■•lists can do as they pl< There was a good illustration of this er i venlng, when a re< kless bi cycle rider van down a woman just as i n-oin the car. The injuries B he received may cause her death. May 1 ask, will you not start an agi tation to abate this nuisance? I am sure if you do you will earn the grati tude of the citizens of this city. My Idea would be to license them and have tnd every one carry or dii his number, Ba he automol have to do. and then it would b easj mattei to gel an offender.

The pictures, taken at t he time -1 lived, show him with grapes in his pri ssing ■ Juice Into the. cup he gave his disciples at the com munion. Even the figure of Bacchus, LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1000. exhumed at Pompeii, is represented as thus engaged. The error slanderers of our Lord fall Into when seeking his example to jus tify their pernicious indulgences is in supposing good wine means that which causes beastly drunkenness, where the guests are laid around the room In disgraceful attitudes. Another perver- Bion of the word is made in the use of the passage, "It is not that which goeth In which deflleth." Jesus was simply teaching the Pharisees that It was not the small dust that was on unwashen hands, but the wicked things that came out of an unregener ate heart that defiled a man. He did not intend to say that a man could take a devil into his mouth that would steal away his brains, turn him into i savage brute, cause him to wallow in the ditch or a fashionable parlor, kill hild, his wife, his old father and mother or debauch others and be blameless. "Wine and women" have di stroyed more nun than war, pesti and famine. I do not know what ; ractlce of the "Episcopal" and "Catholic" churches is as to placing strong wine before the reformed men who commune at their altars. I pre sume she is right in her assertion they do. Well, if the wine is turned Into the real blood of Christ and none but the priests get a taste of it, probably little harm comes of the custom. But this does not occur in other churches. The devil is not exorcised, but. re mains to awaken the slumbering appe tite of the reformed man; hence it has found advisable" to put no such 1 stumbling block into this sacred cere j mony. She says "they count it more Of D sin to rob a brother of his birth right than to take a glass of wine." 1 |am unable to see any proof in thi.,-) i that .I 1 sus made Intoxicating wine. SAVONAROLA. EVIL EXISTS ONLY TO FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS LOS ANGELES, July B.—[Editor Herald]: Allow me to say for the bene ij Amlcus that evil, the concrete expression of error, exists only to the false or carnal ■ consciousness, it is no part of tii" all-good that God made, and when T say I take Christ or truth as the way out of all evil, I do so in lie- same lense that the drunkard takes Mibrii tv as the way out of de lirium, with its consequent delusion in the form of snakes, which are to I him a great evil and very real; just as real to his sense as any material object. I take truth or Christ as my deliv erer just as the scholar takes the science or true knowledge of mathe . matlcs as the way out of arithmetical errors or evils; just as the musician consults the principle of harmony to devise a proper sense of concord, and s.i eliminate Imperfections In tin- at tempt of carnal sense to express it. Now, the principle of mathematics knows no error, the principle of har mony knows no discord, and likewise God or good, the divine principle of I man, knows no evil, hence a sense of evil Is overcome by a knowledge of God or good, who, the Bible says, to know aright is life eternal. A sense of discord is overcome by cultivating and acquiring a knowledge of the law of harmony. There Is no truth or reality In a L.h i anywhere, and that Is all evil is. Anything that/is true is true every all the lime. Evil Is true no whore, a nonentity; it does not exist i to true understanding, which is the so-I lutlon and dissolution of evil. We cannot learn the truth about I ing by studying the error, dis cord or evil which human sense en tertains. We must i-eject it and truth will relegate ii to its native nothing ness, Tills we shall all know when, as the Bible says, "We all come In the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son Of Cod unto a perfect man. unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." R. N. t / , URGES SPECIAL CARE FOR PROTECTION OF VISITORS LOS ANGELES, July 3.—[Editor Herald]: The next two weeks Los An geles will entertain thousands of visitors from all parts of the United States. Many of them will come from small country towns and villages. The sights will be strange— marvelous to their eyes. They will be under a spell of wonder and admiration. They will forget, at times, where they are and not being accustomed to the hurry and bustle of a metropolis, and especially a great city like Los Angeles In gala attire exerting herself to please all her guests. Would it not be wise to pro tect these unsophisticated visitors from injury to have Chief Dlshman hand a copy of traction ordinance, No. 15,775, to each of his policemen and have them study it carefully and give them strict orders to rigidly enforce it? And, although, it Is not unfortunately in corporated In the traction ordinance, would It not be for the public welfare and security to have a resolution intro duced and passed by the city council at its next meeting, to have all auto mobile drivers, motorcycle and bicycle riders sound their horns or ring their bells some distance from each street crossing and not only to give warning of their approach to passing pedes trians, but also to reduce their speed very materially while crossing the streets. If this is not done you can prepare to record innumerable casualties while the crowds are on the streets, especially during Elks' week. JOHN SHELDON. THINKS WINE MENTIONED IN BIBLE WAS ALL INTOXICATING - LOS ANGELES, June 28.— [Editor Herald]: I should like for Savonarola to quote chapter and verse for proof of some of the statements and asser tions made, or claim inspiration as de manded of C, F. I take it for granted that wine now or any other old time Is an intoxicant. Grape juice is not, neither is it wine. It is called liquor of grapes, Numbers, 6, 3 (A. V.) Now, Savonarola, please name chapter and verse where It says the wine Jesus made was not Intoxicating or where it states that there was no one drunken at that feast. "Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." Proverbs, 80, 6 (A. V.). Is there any wine mentioned in the Bible which the Bible says is not In toxicating? If so, quote chapter and verse right away. But please don't try to prove any more falacles to try to show Jesus' good character, for it is fully established, even among his en emies. Your argument does the prohibition cause more harm than good because you are trying to prove something which can't be done. There are just lots of people who think God has got- himself in a bad fix by telling the truth all the way through, but the sooner they quit try- Ing to help him out the soooner he will get out. .1.

Vaughan Says California Building la One of Show Places at the Big Fair in the North That Elks' day, July 2?. at tho Alaska-Yukon-paciflc exposition will be one of the features of the show is assured by Norman M. Vaughnn, who is boosting this feature of the exposi tion in I. os Angeles. Vaughan stated yesterday that everything possible would be done to assure the visitors to the exposition a royal good time. Seattle lodge of Elks, !.(). 82, which win reach Los Angeles July 12, will bring a large amount of exposition lit er.mire and advertising matter with them. They aiSO Will present lo Los Angeles lodge, No. »8, a special invita tion to the thousands of visiting Elks, as well as to local members of the or der, to meet with Seattle lodge, No. M, on Silts' day at the exposition. The official Invitation, which win be presented by W. A. Bane, states that fun, music and festivities will be the order of this and following days. The management*of the exposition has set aside a large appropriation to lie used as an entertainment fund for this spe cial occasion, and amusements of the highest class are assured. Los Angeles lodge, No. 99, hns al ready formulated plans for co-operat ing with the Seattle delegation to make this feature of the fair a complete suc cess. •Speaking of Elks' day at tho exposi tion." said a well known Seattle Elk, "It is evident that Seattle and Los An geles have so many interests in com mon in their plans for the expansion of their respective cities that they shoukl work together in this as well as in oth er respects. The interests of the two cities are in many ways identical, and the development of one helps the progress of the other, This Is especial ly noticeable in the interest taken by Seattle residents and visitors to the fat? from all over the United States in th" California building, where Los Angeles is well represented. The united ef forts of the Seattle and Los Angeles lodges should do much inward furthl r ing not only tlie Interests of Elks' day, but of Southern California as well <v the Alaska-Yukoii-J'acitlc exposition." ST. LOUIS HOT ON TRAIL OF 1910 ELKS 1 CONVENTION That a close Bghl will be waged be tween the st. Louis Elks and their fraternal brethren from Detroit while attending the Elks' reunion in Los An geles for the honor <,t holding the IMO convention in their respective cities is the belief of many prominent members of the B. P. O. K. in Los Angeles and elsewhere. A committee has been appointed by the St. Louis lodge consisting of former Congressman and Past Qrand Rulor James J. Butler, District Deputy <!rand Exalted Ruler Edwin s. Puller and Past Exalted Ituler O. F. Beaslnghaus for the purpose of securing the ltflO reunion of Kiks in that city. Norman M. Yaughan of St. Louis, editor of the National Elks' Horn, who has his present headquarters at the Hotel Alexandria, stated yesterday that he believed St. Louis to he the ideal city in which to hold the convention of 1910. "We have," said Vaughan, "a city adequate In every way for handling the crowds, large parks, a brewery, plenty of resorts and amusement plai 6S, and what Is considered to be the most artistic lodge building in the United States. Moreover, the central location of St. Louis makes it an ideal gather ing place. The St. Louis convention of 1899 was the real beginning of the large annual reunions of the Elks. I sin cerely believe that should the 1910 con vntlon be held in that city it would eclipse every previous meeting." Detroit lodge, B. P. O. E., however, made a strong hid for the 1910 conven tion at the Dallas reunion of 1908 and many believe that the next meeting of the Elks will be held in the Michigan city. A delegation also will be present from Detroit, and a hot tight is antici pated for the coveted honor. ELKS' REGISTRATION HALLS TO BE OPENED THIS EVENING The Klks' registration bureau on North Sprnig street will be opened this evening for a public reception. Under the personal supervision of Will Ste phens decorations and preparations for \ ing the vlstUjag Elks have been completed, and the facilities are ade quate for handling the crowds. Ste phens is desirous that every citizen of Los Angeles become personally ac quainted with the registration bureau. The California lodges are expected to j register first in order to facilitate the handling of the crowd during Elk*' week. So complete are the arrange ments that should John Doe of Seattle wish to know whether or not his broth er Elk, John Smith of New York, is In Los Angeles he can find this out by telephoning the registration offices. They also will inform him at what ho tel Smith is staying and how long ho will remain in the city. Tin- headquarters will be thrown open for registrations Wednesday I morning, July 7.
