GOOD WAGES FOR GOOD FITTING.
In large cities is a constant demand for good
Filters at salaries ranging from SO to 20 a
week. There are hundreds of young women
throughout the country who have the taste
and talent to fiji such positions; all they want
is an opportunity. and knowledge OF the laws
that govern the art Of dress-making. A want
of this knowledge precludes the possibility OF
reaching high position as Cutter and Filter.
We will help you in this matter. We teach
Won in detail the art of cutting. That our me-
thod is not hard to learn is clearly demonslra-

SEVERAL INDIGNANT PARENTS.
Board Of Education = Historical

Theatre-Other News.

Yesterday, as 3 HERALD reporter
passed the Police Station, he saw one of
Morey's char.a-bancs at the door being
rapidly filled with a sturdy lot of young
fellows, perhaps twenty in number. It
was evidently not the chain gang. What
was it? Officer Grubb had the affair in
charge, and it was evidently of public
nature. Mr.. Morey, who stood by, told
the reporter that person had bean
burned somewhere go as to lose large
portion Of the cuticle, and that these
fellows were volunteers going out to be
skinned in order to plant portions of
their cuticle on the person burned. This
looked like so queer a story that the re-
porter took it to be new edition of the
Morey letter. But it proved to be dead
true.
1t appeared that an advertisement ap-
peared in morning paper as follows:
"Wanted-6 or strong healthy boys
over IL years of age; can earn from 81
to So each in an hour. Apply Monday,
3 p. m. sharp. DR.. Stevens, 215 Ocean
avenue"
1t was in reply to this the score of boys
were going out. This party did not reach
the place, but ten or fifteen other boys
did get the place, where it is alleged the
doctor offered them 5 cents apiece for
every bit OF skin cut from their person to
be "transplanted" like sod onto the
burned spots Of the injured man, whose
name is Whitaker. and who is a brother
in-law OF J. F. Crank, of Fair Oak s.
San Gabriel valley. The boys thought
it q lark and an easy way to make money,
and the doctor proceeded to take bits of
cuticle for purposes OF trsnsplanting each
about the size of an old Scent piece.
One boy allowed ten such pieces to be
removed from his arm, and received the
munifcent sum Of so cents for the job.
ALI this seems to be very funny, par
ticularly as the coloripg matter is said
to be just under the epidermis. and these
boys we're of all colors usually found
among Caucasians. The idea might be
carried out so as to include all colors OF
the human race, and make a veritable
spotted man. Here is chance for the
dime museum to get freak not yet put
on exhibition, and at the rate of FIVE
cents patch q boy might be produced
who would have come at last to such q
complexion as polka-dot handkerchief.
But the parents Of the boys take a
serious view of the Doctors freak. They
are very angry, and propose, as they
state, to bring the matter at once before
the authorities. One irate paterfamilias
is in big humor to institute criminal
proceedings to see if It is all according to
good morals to have his son live-fayed
in this fashion at the rate of five cents q
patch.

EDUCATIONAL,

A short Meeting Of the Board Last
Night.
The Board of Education met in regular
session last evening at the City Hall,
President A. E. Pomeroy in the chair,
and Messrs. Cox, Ellis, Frew, Powers
and Woodbury. present.
A communication was received from
Superintendent Friesner with regard to
the communication from the Board Of
Health, which was referred to him at the
last meeting. He stated that the law
required the board to have an annual list
Of the names OF all children attending the
public schools who had not been vaccin.
ated, and he had made such list, con-
tanning 1850 names. The law also re-
quired the board to furnish vaccine
matter, and give each child who wished
to be vaccinated but who was unable to
pay for the same, ten days notice. Not
being in position to comply with the
requirements, he asked the board for
further instructions. On motion of Mr..
Powers, the matter was referred to the
Superintendent of Schools with power to
act.
The applications of Mrs. A. L. Watson,
Mrs. 8. Foster and Mrs. I. Schubert, J..
w. Talbot and J. II. Taylor for positions
as janitors were referred to the Commit
tee on Janitors.
The Finance Committees report,
showing balance on hand of $67, 900. 81
on the 1st inst, was read and adopted.
| A number OF demands amounting in
the aggregate to 81 ,S62.70 were read and
approved.
The report of the Superintendent OF
Schools, showing that during the past
month 3,414 boys and 8, ,457 girls were
enrolled, and that 3l7 new pupils had at
tended the public schools, was read and
placed on file.
Mr.. Powers, OF the Committee on Sup
plies, requested that the matter OF plac-
| ing fire extinguishers in the public
schools be deferred until the next meet
ing, so as to enable his committee to find
out the amount of reduction in the in.
surance which the agents were willing to
grant, ON the condition that the build
The request was granted.
Mr.. Ellis motion that the resignation
of Mr.. Ross Hanna be accepted, and
that Miss Mary Deacon be appointed as
q regular teacher, was carried, as was
also his motion to appoint Mr.. L. D
Brown as teacher of both day and night
schools.
On motion Of Major Frew the salary of
the janitor of the Spring-street school
was raised to 500 per month, and Henry
Crisp was appointed to that position.
The board then adjourned.

A PAIR OF PANTS.
Their DISAPPEARANCE Investigated
by tho Police.

Their Disappearance InvessIgated
by tho Police.
About s 80 O'Clock last night q mes
sage was received at Police Headquarters
to the effect that one Of the rooms at 3211k
South Spring street had been burglar
lied. Detective Bowler was detailed to
investigate the matter, and learned from
the landlord of the place that one of his
dodgers, Dr.. Allen P. Poaps, had over
stepped the limits of his endurance early
in the day, and had slept until about
O'Clock in the evening. On awaking
from his slumbers the doctor rose and
proceeded to dress himself, but
when about midway with his toilet
he discovered that his neither gar
ments were missing and with
them SIS which reposed in one of
the pockets. AS the DOCTORS suoply of
pants was limitad to the missing pair, he
was in horrible predicament, and the
only resource left was to wrap himself
up in long overcoat and make for the
nearest telephone. When the detective
entered the DOCTORS room, the occupant
was found parading up and down in a
nondescript costume, and q state of mind
bordering on frenzy. After listening to
the DOCTORS tale of woe, the detective
searched the room, and the missing
trousers we're found under the bed,
where they had been thrown before the
owner went to sleep. To the unspsak-
able joy Of the doctor, the SIS was found
intact in the pockets Of the garment,
and tranquility was once more restored.

spareness of flesh, he was thin ind ed.
Slater would have great advantage in
the Kansas cyclones. The wind could
not get purchase on him.
He did some wonderful things last
night. Many went away convinced that
the man had really plucked the heart
ont OF many fellows mystery and told
him all he was thinking of. Unless he
had half hundred confederates in the
house he is mind reader, and as he
had been in the city only q few hours
prior to the performance, it is hard to
see how he could get into communication
with 30 many.
He told the girls how they hesitated
what dress to wear to come out last
night, selecting the individuals, who con-
fesseG judgment. He told them how
many buttons they had on their boots,
but did not try to see the color of their
garters. He told one blushiug damsel
she had an object in mind, about which
her uppermost thought was strong de-
sire to hug it, but she was sfraid If she
bad an opportunity she would equeexe 80
hard she might break her arm.
He missed on two of his guesses.
He said there was man in
the audience whose habits were bad.
That was all right, but when he said it
was married man, no one, particularly
the married men, believed him. Then
he ''got onto" the "boom," and the way
he did toss Los Angeles real estate would
make Wall.street broker burst with
envy. He said there was q man there
who had bought lot, and wanted to get
hold of little money to pay off a mort
gage. The whole house knew that was q
wild guess, which few wide of the mark.
II is an established fact that no man
in Los Angeles is in such circumstances.
When he said the lot which the man
wanted to hold on to was worth Sc ,OO0
now and would be worth 500, 900 in two
years, all knew him to be true Seer.
He told young gentleman whose part
ner in business is very silent that he WAS
going to sea, but when the young gentle
man denied the soft impeachment Slater
said he was surrounded by water. Sla-
ter is good Seer, but poor interpreter
of dreams. This vision is easily ex-
planned. The young man is only in s'hot
water" So many girls admire him that
he is in regular fix. Slater sees sights
in such style all the week.

Shortly after o'clock last evening
Officer Vignes arrested negro named
Harry Smiley, in front of loves saloon,
on Spring street, near Third. on two war
rants charging him with disturbing the
peace and threatening Gertrude Bennett.
When the officer notified him of his ar
rest, Smiley seemed to be much amused
and laughed at Vignes' invitation to ac-
company him to the station. In spite Of
the fact that Smiley almost doubly out
weighed him, Vignes determined to take
him along and q desperate struggle
occurred, lasting for several minutes.
Finally, however, the officer kandcuffed
his big prisoner and took him to the City
Prison. In the corridor of the jail he
made another desperate fight, but Officers
Vignes, Pond and Lenox soon subdued
him and placed him in cell, where he
remained for the'rest of the night.
