WE HAVE often been asked why it is
that in the blocks running south of First
street the numbers of the houses do not
correspond with the numerals of the
streets. For instance, between Second
and Third they run from 100 upward
from Third to Fourth, from 200 upward
from Fourth to Fifth, from 300 upward,
and 30 on. In other cities where streets
are numbered, the numbers of the houses
in the blocks correspond with the num-
bers of the streets. From First to Sec
ond they would be from 100 upward ;
from Second ~ IT Third d from zoo zoo Upward
and SO on. When the blocks are num-
bered that way, any one can tell just be-
tween what streets the house wanted can
be found. Why cannot this sensible
method be carried out in Los Angeles? :?
1t would apply to the streets running
parallel with Main for at least twelve
blocks.

THERE appears to be strong circum'
stances pointing to the guilt of Burke in
the Cronin murder. But there have
been 30 many false scents and resultless
moves in this affair that we are disposed
to wait for the development of actual
proofs before we shall accept any more
of tie detective work in that case as re-
liable. The evidence seems to accumu-
late against Burke, however, and it now
looks as if there is some probability that
his arrest may lead to further and more
sensational ESTABLISHMENTS in this mys-
terious tragedy.

A Woman Fooled.

CINCINNATI, June 22.-On the Sth of
last October, Mrs. Alice Ladd, organist
of st. Paul's Episcopal church, in this
city, married Edwerd M. Reynolds. Mrs.
Ladd knew little of Rey nolds. She had
met him in Chattanooga, and he led her
to believe he was rich. After the mar
riage, Mrs. Reynolds gaver her husband
a check for 81 900, and, taking this, he left
her. After weeks search the deserted
wife found her husband in the Inebriate
Asylum at San Francisco. She gave him
more money, and, in few days, learned
that her husband had married again
while in California. She at once had
him arrested on charge of bigamy, and
che applied to the Probate Court here,
today, through an attorney, for certified
copy of her marriage license.

, Oueer way of Making Arrests.

A Queer Way OF Making Affests'
All the readers of the HERALD will re-
call the dramatic incidents connected
with the attempt to arrest French
Canadian named Renault, about two
months ago, on Captain Moore's farm,
lust outside the city, near Rosedale.
Rensult was accused by a half-witted
woman, we'll known in the neighbor-
hood, of the crime Of rape. A constable
went to Renault's house to arrest him
without showing his authority. Under
the impression that the consta-
BILE was robber, Renault drove
him out. The Frenchman's ignorance
of English added to his confusion. The
Sheriff was called in, and late at night
the house was surrounded. Renault,
believing himself the object of attack by
bandits, defended himself, and fired
upon the beleaguering party. Then his
house was set on fire. Renault escaped
through the flames, firing his pistol as
he ran, and being fred at in return by
the posse. He was chased like wild
beast, until at last he sought refuge in
the yard of Mr.. Brousseau, the lawyer,
who spoke to him in his own language,
told him the men were officers of the
law, and advised him to surrender
to them. The denouement of this extra
ordinary affair is a curious commentary
upon the way in which officers some
times undertake arrests. Renault was
tried yesterday. The woman was placed
upon the stand, and it was ascertained
that she was a monomaniac on the sub
ject of rape. The Judge declared that
there was no case whatever against
Renault, and told the jury to acquit,
which they did without leaving their
seats. We have thus circumstantially
recapitulated the facts in this case to
point moral. The attempt to arrest
Renault without showing warrant, in
the first place, was violation OF law.
This violation of law on the part of the
Constable led to the subsequent remark
able events. That no one was killed in
all this firing back and forth is wonder
full. Not less than one hundred
shots were fred first and
last. Renault was treated like
o wild beast, and it is not strange that he
believed himself being run down by out.
laws. No sane man could have supposed
that officers of the peace would have
gone about arrestiDg him in this barbar
ous fashion. If Renault had been killed
after himself having killed three or foul
officers, ali this bloodshed would have
occurred because there are Dogberryt
and Vergeses among our Jus
tices and Constables. A mar
of tact and good sense would
have arrested Renault without the
slightest trouble. But through the Con
stables stupidity the accused was rem
dered desperate, the lives of the Sheriff
and his deputies were placed in peril
and they themselves brought to commi
acts which do not appear to their credit
in view OF the result OF yesterdays trial
If Renault had killed any of his pur
suers, no jury, under the circumstances
could have been found to convict him

ELSEWHERE appears ar article from
the pen of Prof. A. Cuyas, describing
the process of cremation, which he had
recently witnessed in the case OF child
There are, doubtless, hygienic aspects OF
this matter which will more and more
commend themselves to the intelligent
Judgment of mankind. The Christian
church was confronted by the Pagan
process of incineration, popular with
both Romans and Greeks; and, natur-
ally, it desired to antagonize the heather
observances. Cremation is undoubt-
edly a cleaner, he ealthier and more re-
spectacle method OF disposing of the
bodies of the dead than surrendering
them to the voracity OF the worm. Sup
posing that the body is resolved into
gases and ashes, it is no more difficult to
rehabilitate it into its original elements
than to follow the worms in the vagaries
of their later habitat. and collecting from
their ashes the juicy morsels upon
which the insects once feasted. Prof.
Cuyas makes strong point in quoting
from the burial service of the Catholic
Church, the passage, "Dust thou art,
and unto dust thou shalt return" The
question thus resolves into the choice OF
clean dust and abhorrent dust, the latter
contaminated with the dust OF decsyed
worms W hich have fed upon putrescence,
and few people of sense or delicacy would
hesitate in their selection. Religion
cuts no figure in the issue, one way OF
the other, while all the suggestions of an
intelligent sanitation are in favor OF cre-
