Lake Garvey Subsiding.

Navigation is about to cease on this
splendid sheet of water at the corner of
Spring and Ninth streets. For several
days the small boys of the neighborhood
drove a rushing business with their
mosquito fleet; but yesterday the water
had lowered by seepage to a degree that
raised a series of mud bars and brick
reefs along the channels The frogs
have taken possession of the pool, and
make night vocal with their strident
music. This lake never would have
been formed, nor the one at the junction
Of South Spring and Main, if storm
drains had been provided at the corners
before the streets were paved. 1t will
cost the city a pretty penny to make
these drains at all points where they
have proven, by the late rains, to be in
dispensable.

All Trains but Those ON the L. A.
& p. ON Time Again.
The railroad officials are in good spir-
its again, for the lines are all opened
once more. The washout on the Te-
junga, which closed up travel between
this city and the north, was all fixed
early yesterday morning, and before day
broke the procession of delayed trains
b gan stringing in. As soon as possible
a train was sent out from the Wolfskill
depot for the north, it pulling out at 5 20
A NJ. and carrying to their destinations
the passengers from the East who were
waiting over here. At 7:15 the first
train since Thursday was dispatched to
Santa Barbara, and at 9:30 A. NJ, an
East-bound train was run out. By noon
everything was in its usual condition,
and all trains on both the main line and
branches are now running on time as
heretofore.
The Santa Fe is also in its normal con-
dition, so the only road at present tied
up is the Santa Monica section of the os
Angeles and Pacific road. The damage
done to it, however, will be repaired to-
day, as there are only three washouts
and President Hall stated yesterday af-
ternoon that il there is no more rain the
line will be running again tomorrow.
Weather reports from all over Califor-
MIA at P. NJ. yesterday showed1 that it
was still partly cloudy, except south OF
Indio, where all was clear. The indica-
tions are that there will be another slight
fall in the mountains, and probably a
little in the valleys surrounding Los An
geles, but as the clouds are rapidly break
ing up the storm may be said to be over.

CONVICT LABOR IN NEW YORK. New York has had an unpleasant experi-
 encs with the convict labor problem. Dema-
 which provided that little or no work should
 be done in the prisons of the State The law has had very bad effect. It has cost the State great deal to support tho prison CTS in idleness. A larger percentage of them have gone insane since work was stopped than ever before, and there has been corre- spending increase in the number sent to the hospitals. The argument that has been used in behalf of continuing this order of things is that the employment of conyicts in useful occupations Is injurious to the interests of honest workingmen. It has been clearly shown, over and over again, that such is not the case, but the lesson has not been needed by the "friends of labor"
 At last the people of New York have so far recovered their reason as to allow the prepa- ration of bill which is intended to better matters in the prisons. It will be debated in the legislature to-day. It is not what it ought to be, but it does provide for the res toration of productive industries in the prisons under conditions which will make it possible for the officials to keep the cons victs at work. Its provisions extend to the county penitentiaries as we'll as the State prisons, and requires that work be carried on in the former on the ''piece price" plan and in the latter on the public account plan. It does not prohibit the use of machinery, but requires that work shall be done by hand SO far as practicable. It further provides that the superintendent of prisons, the presi- dent of the State board of health, the presi- dent of the State board of charities and the commissioner of labor statistics shall consti- ute board to determine the number of convicts that may be employed in any single industry and to select such industries as may be carried on in the prisons, choosing those that shall least conflict with outside labo- An important provision of the bill is that which permits the wardens of the prisons to make deposits of receipts in their own names and to draw upon them for expenses. Their estimates would have to have the approval of the superintendents and their drafts would have to be countersigned by the con- troller, but they would have the advantage, no' nerelolore alioWed them, or conducting the financial side of their transactions in a business like way. Heretofore, in operating under the State-account system, they have had to rely upon appropriations by the legis- lature for all their resources and have had to turn over all their receipts to the public treasurer.
 It will be good thing for New York if even this imperfect bill becomes a law. Under it the convicts can be kept at work

in New England. He has a number of sons, and the family is prominent in society.
 Another rich man who both inherited and married wealth is Robert 0. Winthrop, well known as 6 scholar, ex-Senator of the United States and ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives. His wife, who was the widow of John E. Thayer, old Nat Thayer's brother, owns noble estate in Brookline. She entertains great deal. Nobody seems to know exactly how much the Winthrops are worth. but many millions they certainly have.
 Old Nat Thayer's son, young Nathaniel, inherited large fraction of the $16, ,000, 900 the father left. The money was made in rail- ways originally, in the West, and Nat, ir., has increased his share by investments in Occidental property until it has come to be rated as one of the biggest fortunes in this city. He is six feet high, club man and keeps the best of yachts and horses. About year ago he married, a second time, Miss Pauline Revere, descendant of the patriotic metalsmlth. He may be regarded, perhaps, as Boston's future Vanderbilt.

Chinese Mandarin on Western Wo-
 men.

London Times1
 A travelled Chinese mandarin who has l lately communicated his impressions of the West to his countrymen deals with great particularly with the position and treatment of women in Europe. These surprise him beyond measure. Thus the notion of hus- band and wife walking arm in arm in pub lie place fills him with amusement. 'sNo- body smiles at it," he says, land even a husband may perform any menial task in his wifes presence, yet no one will laugh at
 him." Then, again, the notion of men
 standing aside to let woman pass, and the
 code of politeness which require men to
 make way for woman, are to him incom- prehensible.
 In China when the men are gorged the women dines off the scraps; but in the West sta6 meal time the men must wait un- til the women are seated, and then take one after another their places, and the same rule must be observed when the meal is finished" Western women have curious notions about dress and appearance. "They set store by. a large bust and slender waist, but while the waist can be compressed, the bust cannot naturally be enlarged; the majority have a wicker contrivance made which is concealed uAOvI tu0 OoulC6 Ou olLucE SlO6, dDu lS COIL sidered an adornment. If woman is short- sighted, she will publicly mount spectacles Even young girls in their teens pass thus along the streets, and it is not regarded as strange" As for low dresses, he observes in bewilderness that women going to court regard bare skin as mark of respect. He is greatly exercised how to describe kissing; the thing or word does not exist among the Chinese, and accordingly he is driven to des- cribe it. ''It is, he says, "a form of court esy which consists in presenting the lips to the lower part of the chin and making a sound''-again, "children, when visiting their seniors, apply their mouth to the left or right lips of the elder with @ smacking noise." Women as shop attendants, women at home, women with moustaches, then en- gage the writer's attention, and he passes on to Cat homes" and dances. Besides invita- tions to dinner there are invitations to 8 tea gathering, such as are occasionally given by wealthy merchants or distinguished officials. When the time come, invitations are sent to an equal number of men and women, and after these are all assembled, tea and sugar, milk, bread, and the like are set out as aids to conversation. More particularly are there invitations to skip and posture, when the host decides what man is to be the partner of what woman, and what woman of what man. Then with both arms grssping each other they leave their places in pairs and leap, skip, posture, and prance for their mu- tual qualification. A man and woman previously unknown to one another may take part in it."

Reports of some of the mass meetings held by them show that general exodus is advocated by the speakers as the only means of securing the benefits that they were promised from emancipation. An Emi- grafton society has been formed and State convention is soon to be held in Raleigh to promote it's objects.
 The Vienna correspondent of the London Times gives the following description of ex- King Milan of Servia. From his Parisian education he had acquired the faculty of stating his opinions in neat French aphor- isms, always pointing to strictly logical con- clusions. He judged character with an al- most taultless accuracy, and knew the inner most weaknesses of the ministers and diplo- most too sharp to be a king. He would have fretted much less if he had not been keen enough to see through the motives and faults of the men to whom he was constitu- tionally bound to look for advice. His scepticism, too, made him utterly reckless in the affairs of his private life. Having had the ill-luck to be mated with shrew, a AnAy WAo1 lo uoO HIS WDIuS tO me, was ms worst enemy, he never had taste of domes- tic happiness, and disbelieved in it. His notions as to the conjugal moralities were those of the worst French novels. He thought that everything around him was bad, and when gratifying his gallant inclina- tion he quite lost touch of the nice discrimi- nation which guided him in political matt tora

 The Springfield Union thinks that if English capitalists are going to buy up the breweries and control the beer business in this country, they will control the beer saloons also, and if they can do as they please with the saloons and the people who frequent them, it will not be long before they will undertake to control our legisla- ton and politics. This is an ingenious idea.

 Consistency is jewel, even in the prohi- bition State of Maine. The Kennebec Jour nal in its issue of last Friday contained an editorial article calling upon the new city officers just elected to enforce all the laws. and especially the sMaine law" and thus "prevent record of brutality and blood which have been too common in some of the years of the recent past" In it's local col ums the same issue contained an account of a banquet given to the travelling men" at the Hotel Nor, and published the menu, which concluded as follows: "Annex- Lager Beer, Currant Wine, Sherry, Claret, Champagne, Punch, Whiskey. Cognac, Ci- gars."
 The Judiciary committee of the Illinois house has decided to recommend the passage of bill providing that "any person or per- sons who shall remove, take, steal, change, add to, take from, or in any manner inter- fere with any journal bearings or brass or any of the parts or attachments of any 1oco- motive, tender, or car, or any fixture or att tachmens of, belonging to, connected with, or used in operating any locomotive, tender, or car owned, leased, or used by any railway or transportation company in this State, shall subject each and every offender to pun ishment by imprisonment in the penitenti- ary not less than one nor more than five years in the discretion of the court or jury before whom the case is tried.
 The negroes are leaving North Carolina at 8 rapid rate. and the consequent decrease in the supply of field hands is alarming the farmers, who are anxious to have the migra- tion prohibited. It is estimated that be- tween fifteen and twenty thousand have left the State this year.
