A CHLIUIl KhLItVt.H. J. T. HE WARD oourteny would permit, but the plucky General was obdurate. he whole matter is settled by the following letter, written, it will be noted, four dsys before th telegraph Midst of One of The Largest Sales Ever Known in this Country! From early morn until late at night the ruch and the crush has been great.

Hourly and Minute Sales, changing from one Department to another, and giving better values than ever before known is bringing out the people; one hour Best Prints at 3c, the next it may be Gloves, or possibly Hosiery, and still another hour Dress Goods or Laces. Changing every hour. UNDERSELLING ALL OVER THE HOUSE! The next few days will be largely devoted to giving some of our Greatest Bargains. Usually the city trade reap the benefit. Not so with this Sale.

The country trade will be carefully looked after, and no doubt the large crowds will be still larger, as the bargains will be much more serviceable in their character. Within the past two weeks we have sold PRINTS AX ONE CENT PER YARD! Dress Goods at fifty cents on the dollar, Hosiery at one-quarter their real value We have sold Table Linens at the regular marked price and have presented our customers with the same amount off the same piece without txtra charge, and all through the house this same policy has been pursued as hundreds and even thousands will testify. We cannot Afford to Make an Advertisement and then Disappoint Our Customers! The next few days may change the programme in some particular; and while we will be giving hourly bargains they may not be of the same character as those we have mentioned, but they will be as good in every particular, and in some instances better. No man, no woman, no child can be found who will say that we have not done Jut uh Fe Advertised, in Every Particular, and at the Advertised Time. It is impossible in he columns of a weekly paper to give daily Sales, and we must be content with merely an outline of our great intentions through this medium.

The Daily Times teems with special announcements, and all through the week, every hour and every day the same uuiversal cry will go up: -2 Underselling! Underselling! Underselling!

Sending our patrons away enjoying the full confidence of a strict fulfillment of every word and every promise made in our advertisement. Country order trill receive prompt and promptly mailed The World Progresses I THE Iceberg Chief idea of the character of the exhibition may be drawn. Suffice it tbat this in the most creditable art display ever held in Lo Angeles.

There will doubtless be others to follow, which will show tbe same discriminating care in the se lections, and some day we may have one to excel this. There Is no safe stand-still ground in art any more than in any other field of human effort. The motto must be upward and onward. If we were to venture a criticism upon tbe present exhibition, it would be based upon tbe almost total lack of etchings and engravings a department of art. which, at this day, cannot be ignored.

There are a few meritorious sketches in black and white, but they are not satisfying. When another art exhibition is given in Los Angele th etchings and engravings must not be overlooked. Placards upon th walla last evening announced that several picture are yet to be added to the collection. Tbe bric-a-brac aid curio exhibited in glaas cases in one corner of the hall gain a great deal of attention. One of tbe chief attractions is a collection of coins loaned by G.

Tbe Evening Express yesterday stated that a rebel flag was flying over tbe rink at Will more, (Long Beach). Citizens of that place promptly denied the allegation, when interviewed through the Times telephone, and expressed indignation tbat a Los Angeles newspaper should publish such a false statement.

It waa the forui, rather than the fact, of the resignation whivh took people unaware a. louder the economy of the Prettbyttfriai eh arch, a pan tor cannot res fan to but congregation, nor even to the trustees and elders; nor can they either accept resignation, or appoint a successor, All theae thing are dooe and must be dooe by the Presbytery The next sea- ajn ot this Presbytery cornea in bep- Mmoer.

Elli announced that on the following Sunday be would Rive five reasons why he aoouia sever nis connection wiln toe Pint Presbyterian Church. The eventful Hunday oame. and the church was packed with people curious to hear bia reasons. JJunoir the week, however, bad occurred the Elua Henna-Lassaugue mw, with which our readers ara la- Bihar. Mr.

Ellis opened his sermon by tell ing bow Kev. Dr. Kittredge had gone to work lu Chicago ana built up a church of members. The- church waxed strong and abie to care for itself; and lr. Kittredge, receiving a call from an other church where ha could do more good, had decided to go.

But one morning a fire licked up bia church and aa he gased upon the ruins, he de cided to stay with his first dock until their efanrcit rose phieuiK-Uke from its aahes. air. Ellis felt that his cane was similar. Hi had taken hold of a little congregation in a halt, and labored until be had built up the present church and member tup; had founded three rural churches the credit in these cases, we believe, belongs to the Kev, Mr. Branabvj and had so elevated the tone off society that even the daily press oonoemned iueersoii lecture tier.

Aod so Mr. Eliis staid.

There waa already considerable feeling in bia congregation; and I rum the utterances of that Sunday the feeliug seems to have grown steadily stronger. Members left that church and joined others, sod the dissatisfaction grew, it is probably stte to say, universal. The trustees and elders of the church are somewhat disposed to reticence not from regard for Mr. but lest tbe emciency of the church be injured by a full statement sf the ease. Tbe Tinas, however, does not believe tbe plain truth, judicially told, can injure tne cause of In rut Th truth in such matters is tbe safe guard of purity in the pulpit, and the train must be told.

The Tim as is in a position to state autnoritauvely tbat tbe eiders, the trus tees and the congregation are sub stantially a unit in desiring tbat Mr. Ellis sever bis relations with the cburcn. There was no question as to tbe unani mity; but aa baa been stated, there was no power to demand a resignation. For tbe last tew months, owinir to the feel ing tbat existed, tba church has been running behind about 100 a month in current expenses. Finally the trustees nouna tne eiders mat they would no longer supply funds; but did not specif their reason.

The elders, however, un derstood perfectly; and two of them ealied upon Mr. Ellis and set the matter before him. Heaoe his qoasi-resig- natioa. The causes for th unanimous desire to part with Mr. Ellis are two, as gathered from omcfal sources.

First, tbe church felt tbat Us pastor should 6e its pastor, and that he has not been. They feel tbat he baa devoted bia time to other things, pecuniary and secular, to the neglect of pastoral work. Haid a leading official ot th church yesterday to a Times reporter: bold tbat our minister, at least, should devote himself to the work of God aclunvtlv. Tuat is what pay bim a salary of 3ow lor, that na may be no ne cessity to turn to outsid matters. second, th church was unwilling to have at its bead and its pal pit a man wnose cuaraciar ana reputation busi ness matters are ao notorious as are Mr.

Ellis s. It may be added that there is the utmost harmony in the coo rela tion, and between it and its trustees and eiders. It is, aod baa been, Mr. Etna on one side and tbe whole church on the other. Yet the matter has not been allowed to assume a personal form.

The only thing kept in view by tbe church has been the cause ot Christ and the stneuey of tbe church as a mean to that end. formal char ires, and dam aging ones, might hav been brought agsmst th pastor; but it preferred not to do this, lest re proach be brought on religion. omoers and members appear to hav acted With great moderation and patience under trying provo cation.

At the door of the cathedral their colors th American dag were refused admittance; and ob jection was made to their entering in a body or in uniform, or with their Grand Army badges.

After services at the cathedral the pro cession moved to the Catholic Cem- tery, where the remains were interred.

It ia well known that tne white scale wsa carried into San Gabriel on a single potted plant not aix inches in height, and it has already cost thousands of dollars to fight the progeny of the few insects tbat were lo be found upon that little rose bush. In ths Plaza tbe Large trees are lit erally alive with tbe white scale and it ia spreading every day. Men from tbe utside districts who have spent labor- inne years in ths ear of an orange or chard, and hav seen it come to be productive, it being their chief depend ence for a future livelihood, now look with dismay npon tbe criminal neglect of the city in permitting the spread of this pest, which is so fatal to citrus fruits everywhere.

A spick and span little engine which was side-tracked yesterday near the Continental Oil Works, above the Southern Pacific depot, attracted a good deal of attention.

Nothing can be truer than the fact tlint the most successful merchants are those who advertise to tbe beat advant age.

It is not always the man who spends the most money in advertising mat decures tne greaiedi returns, but he who, haviDg an article that people want, masea tne tact Known to them in a busineas-liKd way. It is conceded by men who have made the deepest study of advertising that tbe most direct and effectual way of reaching the" public is through the press. An advertisement inserted in a periodical paper, be it daily, weekly, monthly or semi-annual, is seen and read by more people than in all the thousand and one other forma of advertising combined. It is then of tbe utmost importance tbat the display lines ia a paper be made as pleasing and attractive as possible, and that there should be some degree of harmony between the article offered for sale and the tvpe used to call attention to it. In no country throughout the world do publishers go to the same trouole and expense in making Iheir advertising pages attractive as th-y do in the United States, where every line of type or everv illustration that can catch the public eye is freely used.

In En tr I and the advertising pages of the daily paper are ays usre ui stumio meet BB tne Wlllte paper tbey are printed on. BaldwiaVsj Tyraat.
