cret machinations and the implous calling
for q divine blessing cannot relieve them.
IF anybody should think that Erskine Col
lege Is church College. and for that reason
secular newspaper should remain silent,
when its interests are asSailcd, we would re-
mind them OF the fact that the trustees who
represented their interests were turned out at
the inception of this movement, whereby
contributors outside the Associate Reformed
church might be deprived OF their rights.
We do not say that they were turned out
preparatory to taking any undue advantage
OF the outside contributors, but we do say
that it Is the business Of the Press and Ban
ner to look to the interests of all the people
OF the county, and that now the outside con-
tributors have no representative on the
Board OF Trustees.
In the proposed monstrous act whereby the
contributors outside the Associate Reformed
church are TO be unceremoniously deprived
OF their rights, it Is our duty, 10 the best of
our ability, to speak for them; and to expose
the efforts OF those who would be instrument
tai In perpetrating SO great wrong against
them.
In conclusion: In order to relieve any of
our friends who may be fearful lest some
responsibility for the different articles which
we have published on this subject, may rest
on them, we would say that the editor Of the
Press and Banner wrote every line Of each
and every one OF them, and without inspira-
Ilon from any one whomsoever
That our reply may ee seen by at least the
members OF the Board. we will make every
known effort to have copy in the hands Of
each of them today.

COLOR OF CIGARS.
Meaning of the Words Ciaro, Colorado
Maduro and Oscuro.

Maduro and Oscuro.
One of the most interesting things to
me, being an eX-member of the trade,
is to study the simple little brands on
| the ends of the cigar boxes in the
| tobacconists' stores, and wonder how
many of the people who use the con-
tents know the meaning of the words
''claro," etc. Nowadays smoker calls
for light, medium or dark-colored
cigar as his fancy dictates. To the
dealer, however. there is nicer and
more exactmethod of naming the shade.
'Claro," for instance, stands for the
lightest shade Of all, and is mostly found
in the cheaper grades of two-fers. About
the palest in color of the ordinary cigar
is the Colorado" Then comes Colo
| RADIO Maduro," next "Maduro," and last
ly "Oscuro," which is the darkest, heavi-
est cigar made. The Colorado Maduro"
and "Maduro" shades are the most
sought for in the best grades of domestic
cigars, while consumers of imported
brands run to 'Maduro' and 'Oscuro."
Itseems difficult to get 2 really good i'm
ported cigar that is not dark-colored.
All of them are strong and while many
men affect the darkest, high-priced
kinds, believe that few of them really
enjoy them. AS good cigar as any man
need smoke can now be bought for ten
and fifteen cents. A few experts may
find value and solace in tin-foil
covered twcnty-fve-cent weed, but
when any thing over a quarter is paid it
is money thrown away for ornaments
like tin-foil, band, fancy Innings to box,
etc At present prices of tobacco and
labor manufacturer can't put value of
fifty cents in one cigar unless he folds
in twenty-five cents, worth of postage
stamps. And yet many people smoke
these expensive sorts.-Chicago Jour-

ENGLAND'S ROYAL WOMEN.
Their Reputation for Good Looks Is Sc
to Re undiscovered.

Their Reputation for Good Looks Is Said
to lie Undeserved.
What fiction it is to talk about tho
beauty of any member of tho English
royal family. There could not be a
more commonplace lot of women. The
Princess of Wales is slender almost to
evacuation; her eyes would be dull, but
for the makeup which surrounds them;
her cheeks are rouged and wig always
covers her head, which, | am given to
understand, is com pletcly bald. She
has little if any bust, she limps as she
walks, and she is almost stone deaf: so,
one way and another, it is rather sick
oning to read the mass of gush that is
to be read daily in the British news
papers about this beauty, etc, of Eng
lands future Queen. She is, no doubt,
an accomplished, amiable, virtuous
woman, but in appearance she is an abb
solutely commonplace and altogether
embarrassing person.
All three of the Princesses of Wales
have Indifferent teeth and compilations
and wretched figures. Nobody would
look at them twice but for their exalted
position. The daughters of tho Princess
Christian are equally plain looking, and
there is no promise Of beauty in the
young daughters of tho Duchess of
Edinburgh. AS for Princess May. of
Teck, who has SO often been described
as beauty, all she can claim to possess
is pasSable figure and good eyes. Her
face, however, is spoiled by the way in
which her upper lip protrudes, and by a
nose which suggests an Hebraic strain
somewhere or other in the family
OF the many Wanted beauties of Lon
don society only the Duchess of Leinster
would perhaps pass as lovely woman
all over the earth. Lady Londonderry
also comes under that head, and so does
Miss WolSeley the young daughter of
General Wolseley, who made her debut
this year. Lady Dudley is now COM
pletely passee and is as much made up
as an opera bouffe prima donna. All the
Duchesses are plain-looking women;
even the two American Duchesses,
Marlborough and Manchester, are too
far behind their youth to claim aftilia-
ton with Venus.
The Duchess of Portland looks like a
well-fed dairy maid, and the Duchess of
Newcastle bears a marked resemblance
to q younger edition of Mrs. Cleveland.
The Dowager Duchess of Montrose is
sight for the gods, with her flaXen wig
and canary-colored garments, not to
mention her enormous proportions. She
certainly would not be permitted to
enter fashionable New York hotel
until her rank had been explained.
The Duchesses of Rutland, Leeds,
Cleveland and Richmond are old women,
while the Duchesses of Abercorn, Ham
ilton, Argyll and Westminster are abso-
lutely plain and undistinguished.- Phil

a FAIR PHELANTHROPIST.
An English Girl WEU Worked in Factories
to Learn What to Reform.


Beatrice Potter is at present one OF
the most famous and talked-of women
in England. She is superbly handsome,
tall and vigorous, of decided Spanish
type, with brilliant olive skin, big brown
eyes, blue-black hair, and wonderful
scarlet lips that give color to the warm
pallor of her charming face. Miss Pot
ter is of arisUocratic connections and
owns large fortune in her own right,
but it is neither her beauty, birth, nor
wealth that entities her to the diStinc-
ton she enjoys just now. For several
years past she has been a devoted pupil
and disciple of the great sociologist,
Herbert Spencer. Studying his methods,
imbibing his doctrines, and striving to
put into practice some of the theories
he preached, she soon found herself cut
adrift from conventionalities and pre-
pared to go out in the world to serve
her fellow-creatures Then did she I'M
dertake her recent startling feat, tho
success of which has put her name in
every ones mouth. Having read and
heard all manner Of grewsome stories
of the horrors endured by women in
sweaters shops, she dressed herself in
the odious rags won by that class,
went down into the city, found
work, and for two months lived
and labored side by side with
nose miserable white slaves of the
needle. Few knew her secret, and so
cleverly were her plans carried out that
neither employers nor employees ever sus-
pected her identity. When Miss Potter
had thoroughly informed herself on all
minuti@ relating to the criminal tyranny
exercised by the sweaters, and on the
hideous lives led by their female vic
tins, she threw off her disguise, re-
turned to the West End of town, gave
exhaustive newspaper interviews, and
appealed for legislative interference.
So strong and unanswerable were her
arguments, seconded by her own expert
ence, that Parliament is at present dis
cussing ways and means for righting
this great wrong. Miss Potter is as UNI
compromising Socialist as is compati-
BILE with her broad in tel lect and warm
sympathies. Although not of them by
birth or condition, her heart is with the
people. She has been deeply touched
by the manifold miseries of the London
poor, and is ready to devote her ardent
young life, with al its possibilities OF
selfish pleasure, to alleviating tho
wretchedness Of the pauper population.
In all Of these signs of the times one
seems to see the slow but sure prepare
ton women are making to fit themselves
for self-government. Every day chron-
icles the story of some woman who, find
ing her life untrammeled by the more
scored duties of home, has slipped be-
yOnd the bounds of narrow conservatism
to lend hand in raising the fallen or
strengthening feeble knees. illustrated

MIR. Edwardes,s Insanity.

A sad case of dementia was before o

court yesterday. The patient was j.
Edwardes, Esq, an English gentleman
of remarkable attainments. Mr.. Ed
wardes is graduate of Oxford with
very high honors. He is a classical
sch olar of the highest order. He speaks
several modern languages, and is an
artist OF no mean merit, the products of
his brush and pencil being very fine.
After leaving the university he came
into large fortune, which he soon lost
in some business operations. He then
went resolutely to work to earn living,
and as a member of the Middle and
Inner Temple in London acquired q
large practice. At this point he lost his
health, his voica giving way entirely
from bronchitis. Then he became
respondent to such degree as to lose
his mind by melancholia. Friends
nursed him back to health, when he
came to Los Angeles, where he has been
doing law practice about the land office
for four years past. Last week his old
rnalady, in q more aggravated shape,
came back, and he had to be put under
restraint. His friends have been noti-
fed in England, and no doubt they will
come for him. He will, in the mean
time, be sent to the asylum. He lee
tured to the law students last week, and
was engaged for some time past in trans.
lating the Pandects and Institutes of
JuStinian.

An Enterprisinx Institution.

Whatever other people may think of
the future of Los Angeles, and however
much the croakers may predict its future
financial embarrassment and ultimate
bankruptcy, it is very evident that there
is one financial institution here that hos
perfect confidence in it's future prosper
ity, and it's ability to meet all its obiiga-
tions. As evidence of this fact the insti-
tuition alluded to does not hesitate to
back it's judgment with considerable
amounts of it's gold coin. In October
last, when the issue of the five per cent.
school bonds was advertised for sale, it
was thought by many of the moneyed
men that by reason of the extreme low
interest. and the time of payment, they
could not be sold at par. However, the
Southern California National Bank, OF
this city, came forward with bid of
six-tenths of one per cent. premium
and was awarded the bonds. A short
time ago another issue of one hundred
thousand dollars of the same bonds,
drawing the same interest and payable
in the same manner, were advertised for
sale, and again the Southern California
National Bank came to the front with q
bid of 1.76 per cent. premium, (three-
fourths of one per cent. higher than any
other bid, and yesterday was awarded
the bonds. Thus the city realizes 81 ,760
premium on its one hundred thou
sand dellars per cent. bonds. AL
though the Southern California National
Bank is not yet four years old, it has
made itself felt in financial circles, and
today occupies a position in the front
ranks of the banking institutions Of the
Pacific Coast. All of the officers and
nearly all of the directors are men who
commenced life poor, and what they
have today they owe to strict ecopou y
and close attention to business. Such
men know the value of money too we'll
to take any chances outside of leeiti-
mate banking business. The Southern
California National Bank ia destined to
grow and prosper.

Afternoon session.

The time for the hearing of the protest
against the opening of Sixth street was
set for next Monday at 2 O'Clock.
The City Attorney stated that the
Council could take no action in the mat
ter of the city funds, as the case was still
in court. The matter WAS laid over for
one week.
The City Attorney reported that, in
his opinion, q property owner could
withdraw his name from protest before
action had been taken. The matter was
brought up in connection with the open.
ing of Buena Vista street.
On motion of Mr.. Shafer the protest
was denied and the ordinance establish.

After short time the Chief Engineer
was seen driving out Main street
towards the Washington garden, at q
furious rate of speed, whipping the horse
and bowling at the top of his voice. l,
was seen by all that he was drunk and
unfit to handle his horse, let alone attend
to his duties as fireman, when property
and mebbe life was jeopardized. In at.
tempting to turn the corner of Main and
Washington streets, four blocks below
the fire, the wagon was upset, and the
drunken Chief was spilled out, and lay
sprawling on the ground until assisted to
his feet. The wagon was righted by the
lockers on, the Chief assisted in the
wagon, and off he drove, narrowly miss.
ing the telephone poles and another upset.
It is in my opinion that his conduct and
ability should be investigated and his
unfitness demonstrated. Our lives are
at stake and we should be protected.
w. E. SToERMER.
Major Bonsall wanted to know whether
the party who preferred these charges
was rot the one who was discharged for
drunkenness short time since.
Mr.. FraRkenfield said that ne was not
discharged FOR drunkenness, but for al
legged neglect of duty. He said that he
had heard that there was considerable
drunkenness in the department which
had not been noticed by the commission.
Mr.. Stoermer said that he had been
discharged because he was friend OF a
man named Moore. He said that he had
not been drunk, and he did not intend to
be sat down upon.
The charges were referred to the Fire
Commission.
An ordinance regulating the distribu-
tion of handbills was read and adopted.
The new license ordinance regulating
the payment of licenses was read. The
provisions were similar to those pub.
