HIS IDEA OF WOMEN.
What Prominent English Author Thinks
of American Ladies-A Comparison
with EurODean Girls, .

well-known English author, who was re-
Gently in the United States, was entertained by
a gentleman and lady of wealth. residing on
Fifth avenue, New York. In the course of the
dinner the conversation turned upon American
women, when the English gentleman said:
"Nowhere in America do you find such COM
plexions and nowhere such health as we see in
the faces and forms of English girls. l have
noticed this in every city that l have visited.
American ladies look tired, weak, faded. They
lack color and they lack life Existence seems
a burden TO them, not pleasure. You in
America do not notice it because you are here,
while can see it very plainly"
We may say that this English author was
prejudiced, was conceted, was bitter but we
cannot say that he was wrong. American ladies
are not so strong, so healthy, so brilliant as
they should be- Their compilations are not so
clear nor their eyes so bright as could be de-
sired. Doubtless the climate has something to
do with this, but it is unquestionably true that
by proper care and judicious use of the right
means these things can be overcome. Any lady
who feels tired, respondent or weak can readily
overcome these troubles by a proper use of a
little pure whiskey taken in water. Bear in
mind, however, that it should be the best whis-
key, as anything else is injurious. and also re-
member that the best physicians and chemists
in America unhesitatingly declare that Duffy S
Pure Malt has no equal. The effect of this
whiskey is to build UP the system, to improve
the complexion and to give brightness and
vigor in the place of weakness and languor. 1t
is being used by the leading ladies in the land,
and its popularity proves its value.

THE TIDE HAS TURNED.
Outsiders Beginning to Take Hard Hold
of Los Angeles Property.

VI LOS AIlSticS KIOpeICy.
Long-headed people have for months
been cursing fate that they had no
money to buy up the big bargains lying
around in Los Angeles real estate. No
one pretends to question the statement
that property has settled to its norma.
level since the collapse of the boom,
while the really wise ones are positive
that lower level than that of normal
value has been reached. These knowing
ones have been lost in establishment that
the people with money could not discern
these signs of the times.
Well, some of the men with money are
beginning to get their eyes open. Mr..
E. A. Reed of Ogden, Utah, came here a
few days ago. He looked around the
city for few days very quietly, learned
the prices at which business and residence
property is held, selected three pieces
and planked up $4,000 for them He
bought nice piece of business property
on Spring, between Fifth and Sixth
streets; another similar piece on Upper
Main, above the plaza, and then fine
residence site on Figueroa, near Adams.
This last piece has frontage of
over 2o9 feet. He would not
he paid for these parcels, but with a
knowing wink said: 81 know the prices
they are paying in Ogden and Salt Lake,
and l know these Los Angeles prices are
low enough

THE RAILROADS.
HUNTINGTON AND PARTY TO AR
RIVE IN LOS ANGELES TODAY.
The Bottom Reached in the Eastern Rate
war-Another Cut Will Involve Over
land Fares.

Mr.. Coils P. Huntington, president OF
the Southern Pacific Company, is ex-
pected to arrive in Los Angeles this at
ternoon or evening. The special train
carrying the railroad officials will leave
Mojave this morning and proceed to
Santa Barbara. A few hours will be
spent in that city and the train will
then proceed to Los Angeles. 1t is not
vet determined how long the party will
remain in Los Angeles, but the commit
tee of the chamber of commerce will i'm
prove every moment of the stay of Mr..
Huntington in this city. A visit will
be paid to San Pedro and an effort made
to interest Mr.. Huntington in the i'm
provements at that point.
The bottom was reached IN the eastern
rate war yesterday. Tickets to st:
Louis are now selling at $6l and $3.50, and
no further cut can be made without at
letting transcontinental rates. The rate
between Denver and Kansas City is now
SIS over the Missouri-river roads, and Il
that figure is lessened the Santa Fe will
be enabled to sell to Kansas City at
rate below $35, the present second-class
fare. 1t is supposed that the eastern
roads will pause before making move
that will include the overland lines in
the fight.
H. S. B. Hynes, general passenger
agent of the Southern California
road, went east Yesterday IN
response to a telegram from
President Marvel. 1t is presumed that
his trip has some connection with the
demoralized condition of the passenger
traffic. He was accompanied by Wing
Lyttle, his private secretary. The gen.
tlemen will probably attend the annual
meeting of the Santa Fe, at Topeka,
next Thursday.
A large number OF people who are
contemplating a trip east are delaying
their departure in the hope OF obtaining
a ticket much cheaper than is now pos
sible. This state of affairs is having a
bad effect on the passenger business OF
the railroads, and strong effort Will be
made by the western roads to patch up
the difficulty and restore rates.
General Manager K. H. Wade, OF the
Southern California, went out on the
road yesterday on a tour of Inspection.
A contractors outfit OF scrapers,
wagons, etc., went out over the southern
Pacific yesterday in seventeen cars,
bound for MERGED. 1t will be used IN
work on the big irrigating ditch.
A shipment OF thirty cars OF beef cattle
was sent to San Francisco yesterday
from Tustin and also another consign-
ment of twelve cars of stock from Puente.
Fifteen cars more will be sent from
Puente today.
The Southern Pacific expects to do a
large business in hauling passengers to
the seashore today. The weather at the
beach yesterday was all that could be
desired, the fog having entirely lifted.
Redondo will also attract a large
share of visitors,

LADIES AID SOCIETY.
Report of the President on the Good
Accomplished.

The following is the report OF the
president of the Catholic Ladies' Aid
Society for the year ending May 9Th:
Vera Rev. Father adam and Members Of
Catholic Ladies' hid Society:
1t is pleasant duty to submit our re-
port of what we have tried to do in re-
iieving the sick and poor during the
wear. You will see by the treasurer's
report that the receipts of the society
for the current year from dues, soclals,
donations, and drama (from the students
of St. Vincent's college, amount to
$2,29O.O5. The disbursements for the
relief of 225 cases have amounted to
81 ,O6S.45. 1t is unnecessary to detail
the work accomplished. He who has
promised to reward even cup OF water
given in his name has had recording
angels keep the account: :,
Much more good could be done if all
the Catholic ladies of the different par
ishes of the city would become members
and pay regularly their dues. Their
special efforts to raise money could be
done away with, and the burden which
now so often falls heavily upon the few
would be lightened by the united effort:
of the many.
To Right Rev. Bishop Mora we return
our grateful thanks for the donation O
500: also to Right Rev. Bishop O'Con
nell for liberal donations and for the
kindly interest he has always mani
tested in our young society.
To Very Rev. Father Meyer we are
more than grateful, for to him we are in
debted for the large increase in the
funds of the treasury, leaving the so
ciety at the close of the year IN gooc
financial condition.
Thanks are due to our beloved chap
lain, Very Rev. Father Adam, and to al
the reverend clergy for aid and en-
couragement.
To Mrs. John Kenealy we are unde
obligations for liberal private donation
To the board Of supervisors we hav'
reason to be grateful for many acts o
kindess, and to the press OF the city TO
giving willing aid.
We trust the ladies of the differen
parishes of the city will continue to CO
operate with us, that this good work
already begun, may increase and aboun
more and more.
Mrs. V. PoNET, President.

LA GRIPPE SPREADING,
VIII you do it :?

"La Grippe" "the grip" or Rus
sian influenza, is raging in many
cities of the old world and in most OF
the eastern American cities. There
are more than 100000 persons af:
hicted with it in New York, as many
in Philadelphia and a great number
in Chicago. 1t is in Danville and is
reported in Raleigh and Salisbury.
Il is feared that there is case in
Winston, but it is not yet certain.
The disease is not often fatal, but
nearly makes a man sneeze his head
off, and usually confines the patient
to his room for several days. The
danger of it is that it sometimes de-
velops into catarrhal pneumonia.
We sincerely hope that it will not
get its grip" on the people of Wins
ton-Salem and surrounding country.

rHIRTY-FouR YEARS OLD.

With this issue The SENTINEL
begins its thirty fourth year with a
cordial New Years greeting to its
many friends and patrons.
And we desire to thank them fer
their kindness in the past. We have
tried to conduct clean and an honest
journal and we feel that this has
been appreciated. Nearly all the
business men of Winston have placed
their advertisements in our columns
and the greatly majority of people in
Forsyth and the neighboring counties
who conld spare s1.50 have read THE
SENTINEL every week and have spok-
en- many words Ct kindness and en-
couragement.
We believe that we sincerely APP
preciate this and we shall try to merit
a continuance Of their favor IN the
future by Issuing a wholesome, fair
and honest family paper that will be
as good as our best efforts can make 1t.
