The Burress Case.

The news OF the arrest of Tom
Burress, published in the BAzoo,
yesterday, was not only a sensation,
but it fell with a crushing blow upon
his family. A BAzoo reporter inter
viewed Mr.. John w. Burress, the
father of the young man this morning
He is nearly heart-broken over the
affair and said:
81 would rather have seen him
brought home in a coffin"
Mrs. Burress is Frustrated
with grief and grave fears
are entertained for her
condition. Tom was her boy, her pet,
and the last time he left home, which
was Friday, he counted out all the
money he had, which amounted to
$3.50.
There is general expression of re-
gret that the name of Nora Belmont,
a notorious prostitute on West Main
street, should be dragged into the az
fair by Il morning paper. 1t was
wrong.
Being under age, Burress' sentence
will be the lowest. 1t is an outrage,
however, that the government employs
irresponsible and immature boys in It's
service. 1t looks like a
nursery or hot bed to crime.

About Boiling Clothes

DR.. Fl. VI. Lasslng, in an
article in IMeYzcaN AnaLySl,
says: The dirt and all
soap must be entirely re-
moved from the interstices
of the clothes, and all mi

realizes all that we have claimed for
it, and it is, unquestionably, the hand
soonest publication of the kind ever
issued in California. In the artistic
character OF the illustrations and the
value of the letter-press the ILLUS

Everyone who can afford to do SO
should send a copy Of it to his friends
in the East. 1t will do untold good
The pictorial and statistical matter
will do much to disabuse the minds

walked Up to the glsdiators, and pushing
in between them, with one hand he
pointed heavenward, and in the other he
raised a crucifx. He forbade them to
prcceed, and in the name of the Most
High he repeated the injunction: Thou
shalt not kill" The gladiators were
cowed by his tone of authority, and the
great audience were for moment stunned
at the daring of the Nazarene. But
soon recovering themselves, they cried
out against the interference, and the
mob rushed in from every portal, and
seizing the Christian who dared to in
tervene to stop their sports, tore him to
pieces. But out OF his martyrdom came
a reaction, and public opinion, influenced
by the teachings of the new religion, pu'
an end to the pladistorial butcheries
The contest which Teemschus ordered
to stop, was the last OF these exhibitions
ever witnessed in Rome. The daring
man who would, today, jump into th'
ring and order Sullivan and Kilrain, II
the name of law, decency and religion
to forbear, would probably be treated
like the canonized Roman Christian, bu
his deed would live after him as marking
the last of pugilistic encounters that eve
took place in the United States.

IT is believed that ninety per cent. of
the newspapers in Southern California
will be represented in the meetings OF
the Editorial Association to take place at
San Diego this week. A very general
interchange Of opinion upon matters
germane to the welfare of the press and
it's relations to the public, will be one OF
the results of this meeting; another will
perhaps he the adoption of harmonious
plan on the subject of disseminating in
formation upon the attractions and
resources of Southern California. If
this last can be accomplished the benefit
that would enure to our section of the
State would eimply be incalculable.

great increase in newspapers, daily and

Dy competitors not under government

here said of water competition between
San Francisco and New YORK applies also
to the competition Of the Canadian Paci-

made in the rulings of the Interstate

The entire repeal of the act would be
an unspeakable boon to the people of the

mischief and bring back the practice OF
our government in such matters to its
