SANTA MONICA.
The Democracy Nominates a Town
ship Ticket.

ship Ticket.
The ticket nominated by the county
convention gives unusual satisfaction to
the Democrats here, and many Republi-
cans. Especially is this the case with
DR.. Kurtz, who will run far ahead of his
ticket in this locality.
The delegates here assembled this af-
ternoon in Rapp's hall in local con-
vention, and amid great enthusiasm
nominated the strongest ticket the
Democrats have ever placed before the
people of Santa Monica, thus making
splendid finale to strong ticket from
Pond down. For justice of the peace
the old war horse James Whitworth was
nominated, P. H. Fox of the Soldiers
Home being his running mate, and in
him the Democrats will find no laggard
in the race.
For constables, ]. U. Henry, one OF
the most popular men in the town, and
|. R. Scheckels, whose especial strength
is in the caiion, were nominated.
Thomas B. Carlisle was placed in nom
ination for road overseer.
Misses Bessie Gorham and Alice
Jones, nieces OF Senator Jones, left yes
terday for Gold Hill, Nevada, where the
senator has his Nevada home.
Messrs. Degenhardt and Jewett caught
1,2O0 pounds of smelts, sunfish and sar-
dimes, most of which were shipped to
Los Angeles, yesterday.
M. K. Barrett, city marshal, has ap-
pointed H. f. Pollard to the deputyship

President A. 7. & S. F. Ry
Mr.. Childs and Lord Sackville.


Lord Sackville, who will be remem-
bered as the late British minister to the
United States, and also as an indiscreet
letter writer, and who eventually, not
being persona grata to this government,
was requested by it to accept his pass
port, has made claim for rent for the
site at Stratford-on-Avon of the mag
nificent fountain erected by Mr.. George
w. Childs, of this city, in memory of
Shakespeare. Lord Sackville does not
display in this matter that generous or
even just appreciation of the fine spirit
of International fraternity which in
spired Mr.. Childs' gift which the British
press and public have so commonly ex-
hibited.
A due regard for that spirit, proper
reverence for the memory Of Shake
speare, would have prevented his lord
ship making claim which seems, at the
best, selfish and sordid, and which is not
entirely free from the suspicion of hav-
ing been actuated by desire to retaliate
for his summary and humiliating dis
missal by this country. It is not at all
improbable that his lordship, regarding
Mr.. Childs as representative American,
makes his claim for rent for the site Of
the memorial fountain to the end that
he may thereby express his lack Of re-
gard for this country generally. Whether
this be true or not, it Is most gratifying
ly true that Englishmen of the highest
estate in craftsmanship, literature, art
and society fully recognize the admir-
able spirit Of Mr.. Childs' gift, and with
unstrained generosity express their ad-
miration of it and their indebtedness to
him for it.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

Miss Jewett.

Of the younger literary women of Bos-
ton Miss Sara Orne Jewett and Mrs.
Maud Howe Elliott are said to be the
most beautiful. Miss Jewett's gentle,
Madonna face seems to take every year
an added charm. She is dark haired and
graceful, and is at her best when, in the
drawing room of Mrs. James T. Fields,
her intimate friend, she tells you stories
of ships and the ocean. Her father was
sea captain from Maine, and the nauti-
cal fay or comes out in much that she
writes, especially in her short stories.--

A Curious Southern Industry.

The battle fields around Atlanta
afford a curious industry to the
street gamins. It is the gathering
up of Minnie balls and bullets of
various sorts. After rain or snow
the bullets become exposed on the
surface, and women and boys gather
up baskets fall of these leaden re-
minders of the siege of Atlanta.
Capt. w. M. Middlebrook's store on
w. Peters street, is one of the
greatest repositories. They bring
the result of their gleeanings there
and dispose of the miscellaneous
crop of relics for about five cents
pound in exchange for merchandise.
The plumbers and hardware men
pay from three to five cents a pound
for the lead in bulk, and thus the
battered reminders of the war find
their way into the joints of lead and
iron piping that are being laid in
the streets and in the dwellings Of
the growing city. Many of the bull
lets are curiously battered into all
sorts of fantastic shapes and would
prove a feast for the relic-hunter
who would take the trouble to go
through them and select the rare
Observation-Disclosures Constitution.

Are Single Folks HappiestP

Is single person more likely to
be happy than double one? Are
bachelors and maids happier than
married folk? 1t is big question,
and perhaps will find as many
voices in the negative as in the
affirmative. The single person can
not be as unhappy as the double
one, and although the bliss of mar
ried life, such az at first described,
is great, so is, also, the misery of
an ill-assorted or disastrous mar
riage. The loneliness of a loving
heart is hard to bear, and the long
ing for protecting and sympathetic
companionship ia very sorrowful
and depressing, but the burden of
enforced companionship with hus-
band who has become an object of
aversion and terror is a great deal

A Dog That Knew a Great Deal.

They were telling dog stories yes
terday in the agricultural depart
ment, and after Walter De Wolf had
narrated some of the remarkable
instances of his dogs wonderful
intelligence, Will Henderson began
talking.
"The father of De VOLTS dog"
he said, sis nearly the most intelli-
gent animal | ever saw. Why, he
can almost talk. / used to give
him a quarter every morning, and
he took it in his mouth way into
town, and would wait at the butch
er's until they gave him his meat
and Is cents change to bring back.
One day the butcher thought he
would play joke, and gave that
dog 10 cents change instead of Is.
Sadly the dog looked at the two
nickles minute, then he went out.
Five minutes later he returned lead
ing a policeman by the end of his
coat. Now that is a dog worth -

The Human Body Improved.

We have all heard a great deal
from time to time regarding the
perfect adaptability of the human
body to the various uses for which
it is intended, and we have been
taught to believe that, considered
simply as a machine for accom-
plishing certain things, it was we'll
nigh ideal perfection, and left no
room for improvement. 1t seems,
however, that a Russian inventor
thinks differently, and has taken
out patents, both at home and in
this country, for what might be
called improvements to the HUI

They Killed the Women.

A letter from Zanzibar says tina
over year ago caravan of owe
three hundred Arabs left the cas-
coast to go into the interior to trade
They have now returned and ONT
of the chiefs relates their adven
lures. Arriving at Kavirondo, one
of the northeast shores of Victoria
Nyanza, the Arabs saw that the ma
tives had good deal of ivory, and
that they had no guns. They at.
tackled the tribe, and before the
shooting had gone on long the ma
tives were willing to do anything
to make peace.
After a long palavar with the
chiefs, the Arabs agreed to leave
the country on the payment to them
Of two hundred tusks of ivory and
two hundred young women. The
natives were glad to get rid of the
enemy even on these conditions.
AS soon as they received the ivory
and the women the Arabs started
for the coast. They had a terrible
time in the Masar country. There
was drought, and they almost per-
ished of thirst. Then provisions
became scarcer and scarcer, and the
whole party was in danger of star
vation. Finally the Arab chiefs de-
cided that in order to save them
selves and their ivory, it would be
necessary to sacrifice their female
slaves, who were weak from their
deprivations, and could march no
further.
That night all of these two hun
dred young women were shot to
death, and their bodies were left in
camp for beasts of prey. The VIC
TINS, happily, had not moments
warning of their impending fate.
Each murderer selected his intend
ed victim, and the horrible crime
was accomplished so speedily that
few of the women made an outcry.
With their force thus summarily
reduced, the Arabs were able to pull
through the desert region, obtain
ing a little more food than barely
enough to sustain life.
The chief who related these facts
in Zanzibar showed no compunc-
tions whatever for the terrible crime
in which he had assisted, but men,
toned the massacre only to give an
idea of the great loss they had sus-
tanned by the necessary sacrifice of
their two hundred slaves. 1t is a
curious fact that some of the mur-
derers were troubled in mind be-
cause their necessities had COM
PEELED them to eat rats and other
unclean food, which is prohibited
to Mohammedans, on the march.

The Chinaman's SheOl.

The sixth court of hell is situated
at the bottom of the great ocean
north of Wuchio Rock. 1t is vast,
noisy gehenna, many leagues in ex-
tent, and around it are sixteen wards
or ante-hells. In the first ward the
sinful soul is made to kneel for long
periods on hot iron shots; in the
second place up to their necks in
filth; in the third they are pounded
till the blood runs out; in the fourth
their mouths are opened with red
hot pincers and filled with needles
in the fifth they are inclosed in q
net Of thorns and nipped by poison
Gus locusts; in the sixth all the
flesh and bones are crushed to a
jelly, all except the head; in the
seventh the head is denuded of skin,
and the flesh is on the raw; in the
eighth the mouth is filled with fire ;
in the ninth the pounded flesh of
the body is licked and roasted by
sulphurous flames; in the tenth the
nostrils are subjected to all loath-
some smells known to their tor
mentors; in the eleventh they are
butted by rams, oxen and bufaloes,
and at last subject to crushing
pressure by being trampled by
horses; in the twelfth the heart will
be taken out and skinned; !; in the
the thirteenth the skull will be rub

The Annoyance Caused by Inex'
perienced Kissers.

Said young friend to me the
other day, II am getting tired o1
having nay hair upset and my cor
sage bouquet torn all to pieces by
beginners, and | believe if the dear
boys were only told how to go about
it they would not make such a per.
feet mess of it,
There is no necessity of grabbing
a girl as though she had stolen a
pocket-book and making lurch at
her as though you had accidentally
stepped one foot in coal hole
while walking rapidly along the
street. There is no actual necessity
to get clutch on her dress and try
to tear it off or turn her over inside
of it. There is no necessity of pull
ing her head forward with such in
tensity that her eyes are endangered
by scarf pins and long pencils pro-
truding from upper vest pockets.
There is no use firing a kiss pro-
miscuously at her eye or ear or neck
To begin with the girl is not trying
to get away. Keep cool; bear in
mind you have the soulful sympa-
thy of your victim and your aims
are identical-that she has as much
at stake as you have. Keep per-
fectly cool and collected gently in
sert your right coat sleeve about
her directoire costume and turn her
gently toward your manly form.
Place your other and as yet unoc-
cupied arm in such position as the
exigencies of the occasion seem to
demand and give gentle and soul
full pull, as Amelie Rives Chandler
calls it. By this time the rosebud"
mouth is turned toward you. Lean
over gently and let nature do her
work. That's all. Girls don't like
any other wav, BOYS.

No Honor Among Thieves.

"There is talk of honor among
thieves; it's all bosh, as their ac-
tons show" was the sententious
remark of Inspector Byrnes the
other day to New York News re-
porter. The official who has had
more to do with the famous and in
famous among criminals than any
man in America manifested no hes
itancy in upsetting the old adage,
whose sentiment has done not a
little to throw a glamour over rob-
bers and their deeds. He spoke
with deliberation, as if he summed
up his experience of years in those
few words.
The inspector also said that the
maxim of self-preservation is the
first law of nature found no contra
diction as applied to thieves. They
stop at nothing to save themselves
from punishment, and betray their
companions in crime without the
least compunction of conscience.
In many, if not most, instances
these betrayals of companions in
crime are made voluntarily, solely
with the intent to secure a light
penalty at the worst, with the
chances of going scot free, and
study of the cases within the recol-
lection of the present generation
more than confirms the inspectors
trite observation.
The records also show that GRIM
inals are not only ready to betray
their comrades, but will even prac-.
tice their arts against those who
have sought to help them. Their
gratitude is absolutely nil.

Clothes Makers.

It isn't often that a man COM
plains of his tailor. Though the
tailor may not have given the GUS
toner the fit which he desired, the
customer will sulk in his suit and
say nothing. A man will lose a
button from his waistcoat or trous-
ers and wait for his wife to sew it
on before he will go to his tailor.
When his suit begins to wear he
will take it to a clothes-cleaner in
stead Of the tailor who made it. 1
don't know why, for any tailor
would sooner renovate suit he had
made. Men are generally impatient
when they stand for measure. They
want to get away as quickly as pos
sible and then they don't come back
unless it is to get the suit, and they
prefer to have their clothes sent.
The foregoing was read to a
Monroe-street modiste, who said,
with folded hands and uprolled
eyes: II wish / could say as much
for my customers. 1t requires more
tact for a woman to be a modiste
than it does for a rich man to get
into the kingdom of Heaven. A
woman's dress is never done. 1t is
brought back and back and back
as long as the seams and stitches
in it hold together. A woman comes
in here for fit. She is plump and
wants her dress made so that it will
look as though she had been melted
and poured into it. You are man
and maybe you don't know that
woman's avoirdupois fuctuates as
much as the price of wheat on the
Board of Trade. The dress that
fits like glove to-day is liable
to hang like wet cloth next week.
Back it comes, and the wearer, un-
less she be the exception, comes
with it and brings her temper along.
We are scolded for not having
made the garment so that it will
shrink or expand, as the case may
be.-Chicago Tribune.

Deadly Work Of Nicotine.

In France, experiments were made
to show the effect of tobacco smoke
on meat and other food, including
vegetables. A piece of rare meat,
after being exposed for some time
to tobacco smoke, was offered to a
dog, which refused to touch it. 1t
was then concealed in some palata-
BILE covering, and the dog ate it and
died in short time. An autopsy
showed nicotine-poisoning to have
caused death.
