A SIGN OF PROGRESS.

These are progressive times for Woman. Two women have been lately made mem bers of the board of education in New York city, and one has been made member of the Philadelphia board. Mayor Grace of New York has written letter to the school com mittee in which he makes suggestion in tended to benefit young women. It is cer- tainly an interesting and significant one.
 He calls attention to the fact that the New York Normal College for Young Women yearly turns away hundreds of scholars who have demonstrated their fitness by obtaining the required percentage of scholarship cred it's in the lower schools, but for whom there is not accommodation in the institution The result is that only the best scholars are &C., cepted, and that policy has raised the per centage requisite for admission to the high mark of 85. There are, on the other hand, ample accommodations for boys who wish to obtain what is called "the higher educa- tion"
 In view of this state of affairs the mayor recommends to the school committee to ap- ply to the board of estimate s.for such sum as will be necessary to establish and equip school for young women in which such spe- cial branches as photography, telegraphy, bookkeeping, cooking, sewing and typewrit- ing may be taught" The admission should be from the grammar schools, and he thinks the effect would be to relieve to large ex- tent the pressure upon the Normal college. He recognizes that such 8 school would be an experiment and must be treated as such; I,,k ably depend the future introduction of in- dustrial education, as such, upon a more ex- tended scale. He assures the committee that so far as he is concerned, as chairman of the board of estimate and apportionment, such proposition coming from them would meet with his favorable consideration.
 Such an experiment as this proposed by Mayor Grace would be watched with inter est. If properly conducted it could hardly fail to be successful.

How Great men Are Abused. !

Ex-Postmaster General Tyner tells me an interesting reminiscence of the last days of Grants administration. The story well il- illustrates how slander attacks the best public men without regard to truth. It was the last night of the congressional session. Grant

and his Cabinet were in the Presidents room at the Capitol signing bills as they were brought in. Representatives and Senators dropped into the room from time to pay their respects to General Grant. About Il o'clock there was a Hull in the work and no bill came for about an hour. During this time the different members of the Cabinet and Grant were chatting and telling stories Zach Chandler was lying on 8 lounge with 8 vol ume of Marshall's "Washington" in his hand and a newspaper lying upon his chest. All at once he dropped the book and picked up the newspaper. He then turned to Gen. eral Grant and said: q suppose, General, you are very glad for one thing that your administration is over. You have been vil- 1ainously abused during it, and I suppose there is no President who has been more unjustly treated by the newspapers than you"
 "Yes," returned Grant, empatically. ''I want to get into private life. 1 want to be able to pick up newspaper in the morning without fear that the first article upon which my eyes shall light shall be denunciation of me. I want to rest from the lies and slan- ders that are published about me; and it is this, more than anything else, that makes me glad that the term of my presidency is over."
 "But," said Chandler, 'as you are soon to be private citizen, I do not suppose the statements of the papers at present hurt you very much. There is a paragraph here that I would like to read you, which is about as bitter as I have yet seen." Saying this he took the paper and laid it over his book and began to read paragraph which apparently treated of General Grant, ard which de- nounced him as being everything bad, false and dishonest. The Cabinet stopped their conversation as he read and listened. At the close Chandler asked Grant what he thought of the article Grant replied that it was very bitter, and was on the whole one of the meanest attacks he had ever experi- enced.
 Chandler then laid down the paper and held up the book He said: "General Grant, the paragraph have just read was written about ninety years ago. It was writ ten about President of the United States, and that Presidents name was General George Washington. In pretending to read it from this copy of New York paper I merely inserted your name where Washing tons originally appeared. This book from which read it is Marshall's Life of Wash ington.'"

Some remarkable forms of lightning flashes have been lately described by Herr Leyst of Paw1owsk observatory. In one case flash went 8 certain distance in 8 northwesterly direction, then divided, the two branches forming an angle of about 75'. When these had reached about 35' from each other, they turned and united again in one line. The path of the lightning thus formed quad rilateral figure. It was further observed that the lightning flashed back in the same path, as if there were no oscillating discharge. In another interesting flash, the path was not a crooked line, but a. wavy band, which was lit up four times in succession with equal brilliaucy. The time between the second and third and the third and fourth flashes seemed longer than that between the first and second. The thunder which followed lasted about eighty seconds.

It is declared by the Springfield Union that those most cognizant of the working of the free textbook system in the Boston schools have come to approve of 1t decidedly. It is estimated that on account of better care of the books the cost to the city is much less than to the people when the pupils owned the books. The teachers are ambitious ts have the books kept in good order and as they pass from class to class as long as they are fit to use they are more completely util- ized than formerly, when families had to store away stacks of old school books, which eventually went to the junk dealer.
 In closing lecture in Boston Wednesday Vance of North Carolina made the following remarks, which show that he is thoroughly reconstructed: May our country never again see portion of it drenched in the blood of it's sons and abandoned to the reign of unre- strained violence. My faith is that all events in nations are ordered for the best. The war is ended and the Union is declared in dissoluble. Slavery is abolished. I fought four years for the cause of the confederacy, but would fight eight years now, though my hair is white, before would see slavery re- established.
 The Supreme court of Illinois has been asked to pass on the question of how much intimidation of workmen jnstifes an injunc- tion from the courts. A temporary injunc= tion granted to a malting company, restrain ing the members of the brewers and malt sters' unions from interfering with the em- ployes of the company, has been dissolved because there was no showing of trespass upon the company's property. Judge Shep- herd of the lower court said that in cases where these injunctions had been sustained the strikers had interfered with property, but as the question was frequently coming up he wanted to see an authoritative ruling upon it. The brewing company appealed.

II does not appear by any means
so certain as Senator Fair represents
IL that the Apaches could not get
away from Santa Catalina island If
once placed there. They are intelli-
gent and daring. They are not unae-
cumtomed to canoeing, and there
seems no adequate ground for sup
posing them Incapable Of devlsing
some kind OF boat or raft on winch
they might cross the twenty-five
miles OF sea that would intervene be-
tween them and the magnificent
scalping ground Of Los Angeles.
Perhaps a good test OF the popular
faith in the security OF the island
would be to ask the people OF South
ern California how they would like
TO have Geronimo and hislieutenants
and followers transferred TO Santa
Catalina and left there without guards.
And finally, IL might be worth while
to ascertain who own the island, and
what the United States Government
would be expected to pay for it.

SENATOR FAIRS insidious attempt

There need not be much finessing
about the right way Of disposing Of

first catch your Apache and then
make good Indian of him by dis
patching him to the happy hunting
grounds. If he must he colonized

As The people of Los Angeles are
unusually prosperous this year, and
as the tide of tourist travel is notably
large, our several watering and pleas
ure resorts will do an unusually large
business this Summer. Probably few
people have cared to reflect upon the
great variety and attractiveness OF
these places in Los Angeles county
and in the immediate neighborhood.
OF seaside resorts we have Old and
New Santa Monica, Long Beach, San
Pedro and the Santa Catalina island,
where, no matter what the tempera-
ture OF the interior valleys may be,
we have a mid-May temperature all
through the season. Then we have
delightful resorts nesting at the foot
of the Sierra Madre and Sierra Ne
vada mountains, and running all the
way from an altitude OF fifteen hun
dred to five thousand feet. There
are enough pleasure seekers in this
county alone to fairly throng both
the hotels at Long Beach and Santa
Monica, and il will be necessary to
camp out on an unprecedented scale
to make room for the strangers in our
midst.

CLEVELAND. o., May 26.--When til,
call for the labor convention was ISSUED
by Mr.. Powderly, he only enumerated
five causes of complaint that were to b,
adjusted. These were boycotts, strikes
tue Southwest troubles, the relation o.
the Knights of Labor to other erganiza
tions and the inslituting of new assem-
blies. Since the delegates have arrived
many of them have plans that they
would like to bring before the general
session. Whether these will be dis
cussed or laid on the table cannot be de.
termined as yet. One of these plans is
to agitate the subject of the government
regulating railroads. t-
u on motion Mr.. Powderly appointed
standing committees of five upon each OF
the following subjects; Laws, strikes,
boyeotts, and relation of the Knights OF
Labor to other organizations.
The Convention took recess until
s o'clock tomorrow morning so as tc
give ample time to the committees to dc
the work laid before them.
