INTELLECTUAL sympathy Is rarer
and more difficult OF attainment than
mere sympathy with pain or pleasure.
Those accustomed TO one line OF thought
and associating only with those who
share it cannot readily understand how
any one can differ from them, and
are therefore inclined to doubt their
honesty or their intelligence. Much
bitter controversy. much harsh and
unjust criticism, is due to the feeble
ness Of this power. Neither party can
put himself In the place OF the other,
or see how he came to hold such be-
liefs or why he should not at once
abandon them.

MAKING PEOPLE ALIKE.
THE SEWING MACHINE AND
TELEGRAPH DO 1T.
The Business OF Manufacturing Clothes
ON tho Theory That Every Gar
ment Will Fit Someone
and Find . Customer.


4 Some wit remarked that the sewing
machine and telegraph are rapidly
making one people Of all that dwell on
the face Of the earth. They are de-
stroying the national peculiarities OF
the dress OF men In the countries Of
Europe by giving them the styles Of
everyday clothing from London, which
Is the great center of traffic for that
part of the world.
Ready-made garments from London
are sold In the shops OF Amsterdam,
Berlin, Vienna Copenhagen, Christiana,
Stockholm and St. Petersburg. and In
many of the smaller cities, which OBJ
tain their supplies from the great ones
on the list or from London direct.
Formerly an English sailor could DO
readily distinguished from Danish or
Swedish one, and each OF these from
the other by his distinctive costume.
but at the present time all OF them are
dressed alike, and quite possibly their
garments came from the same factory.
Fifty years ago the homespun gar
ments OF New England differed from
those OF the Western and Southern
States, and these again from those of
Canada, but nowadays, says an ex-
change, the homespun has been large
ly driven out by "store clothes" which
have found their way into the great
majority of the towns and villages all
over the land.
The business OF manufacturing cloth
ing on the theory that every garment
that is made will fit somebody and find
customer is increasing year by year.
and though the coats and trousers thus
created are sold at price that defies
competition on the part Of the weaver
OF homespun, the trade seems to be
profitable one for all concerned.
In many of the large establishments
the cutting is done with great rapidity,
the cloth being piled in thicknesses OF
one or two hundred layers. which are
cut by q fine saw that follows a metal
pattern, under the guiding hand OF q
single operator.
Thus, with the aid OF machinery, one
person can do the work OF fifty in the
cutting OF garments; the sewing ma
chine follows closely and rapidly, and
in this way the whole world is clad.
With our clothing Of one pattern,
and the telegraph laying before us ev-
cry day all the news of the world. we
are not only dressing alike but think
ing and talking of the same things at
the same time.

CHILDREN BARRED.

Mr.. Baisley's Experience with the
Superintendent of Schools. al
1t is apparently the sim of the public
school authorities to conduct that de.
partment as if the people had no rights
in the matter. The latest case to come
to light is reported by Mr.. j. L. Baisley,
who lives on the corner of Union ave-
nue. and Seventh streets. Mr.. Baisley
has lived in this city for sixteen years,
and paid his taxes regularly, and con-
siders that he has some rights as citi-
zen that should not be trampled on.
The nearest school to his house is the
Tenth street school, and there he sent
his boys the other day. They were re-
fused admittance, on the ground that
there was mo seating room." Calling
on the superintendent for an explana-
ton, they were given permit to attend
the Union avenue school, if there was
''seating room" there. This school is
so far away from the children's home as
to render their attendance impractica-
BILE, but such little things the superin.
tendent evidently does not consider
worth bothering about. Mr.. Baisley is
fighter, however, and proposes to
make an issue OF this case, taking it to
the courts if necessary.
There are whole lot of bumptious
officials not hundred miles from this
city for whom seating room" should be
found far, far away.

The police commission met yesterday
Chief Glass presented his report fol
November. Total arrests, 337; recov-
cred property, $2220; saving to the city
by having cooking done by prisoners
$137.
The chief reported on the application
of Francis P. Francis for license foi
Washington Gardens, that the appli-
cant had secured the consent OF a ma
jority of the property holders. A num-
Der of objectors had put in their pro-
tests against ther e-opening Of "this dis,
reputable place." The pastor and trus-
tees OF the Memorial Baptist church
had put in protest of their own. There
were two other petitions, one having
thirty-eight and the other ffty-six sig
natures. Permit was denied.
Petition of Emil Waldeck for transfer
of permit from Friese & Schumacher, at
102 North Main street, granted.
The usual demands were approved.
An application Tor special officer to
be stationed at the Chinese theater,
Edwin Pascoe swas suggested by Ah
Now, the applicant. Granted.
Complaint of G. Garibaldi of Police
man John Craig, stationed in Sonora
town. Garibaldi charges that Craig had
INDUCED in malicious persecution OF
him; that he made himself generally
obnoxious, and that he took drinks OF
intoxicating liquors while on duty.
Chief Glass said he wanted the assist
ance of two commissioners to aid him in
the investigation. A motion to that ef-
feet was passed, and there will be re-
port made next week.
A letter was read from Commissioner
Dexter, in which he states that his re-
turn has been delayed by complications
unexpectedly having arisen in his work
of settling up business for an eastern
firm.
Commissioner Snyder, in view of the
influx of eastern and northern thieves,
moved that the force be increased. Chief
Glass said that this increase is necessary,
because in the winter Los Angeles is
veritable dumping ground for crooks.
Commissioner Lewis reported that in
his district number of sneak-thieves
and burglaries had occurred within the
last few days. Commissioner Bryson
wanted to have the matter deferred un-
til meeting of the full board could be
had. Councilmen Rees, Innes and
Rhodes spoke in favor of Mr.. Snyder's
motion. Mayor Hazard opportunely
came in and said he was in favor Of five
or ten more detectives, but against
walking lot of patrolmen up and
down on BEATS" Chief Glass thought
that probably that would be more effec-
tive. The mayor also declared that this
city has, in proportion, more policemen
than any city in the country, except
New York and San Francisco, and that
this increase was not at all in accordance
with the retrenchment ordinance. The
motion was then put to vote and lost.

Stealing Packages.

His Examination on the Charge of
Stealing Packages.
Before William Van.Dyke, as commits
sioner, appeared yesterday T. J. Barnes,
postmaster OF Monrovia, in the United
States circuit court. Some time ago there
had been number OF complaints in the
postoffice department that packages
sent to Monrovia had never reached
their destination, and Inspector M. H.
Flint was ordered to investigate. Decoy
packages were sent to Monrovia, and a
week elapsed before some of them were
delivered. One never reached its ad-
dressee, and the inspector found
the same afterwards in a
pile OF rubbish in the postofice, with
its wrapper torn off. The arrest OF the
postmaster was made by the marshal's
office, and Mr.. Barnes was brought be-
fore Mr.. Van Dyke for hearing.
Yesterday the testimony for the gov
ernment was introduced, the defense
having as yet not offered any evidence.
The testimony submitted does not con-
meet the postmaster closely enough with
the offense, because there are several
other persons in the Monrovia Office.

HE MANGLED HIMSELF.
Richter's Varied Attempts to Commit
Suicide.

Suicide.
John Richter yesterday tried to COM
nit suicide in an extraordinary way and
then failed, as far as his immediate
death was concerned, though he may
pass over the river at any moment.
Richter lived in little adobe house
at 1045 Sacramento, near Mateo street.
He has been on drinking debauch for
some days, and had reached stage of
lunacy in which he decided to die. He
amputated his sexual organs first with
bis pocket knife, then he stabbed him
self in the abdomen, then he tried to
cut his head open with broad axe !;
this failing~he took dose of laudanum,
and that not working quick enough he
tried to dash out his brains against the
wall; then he drove the big blade of
his knife into, his breast up to the
handle, and fell to the floor in faint.
A man named N. HI. Blair discovered
the poor wretch, and notified the police.
Officer Woodward went to the place and
found it looking like a shambles,
the whole room being soaked with
blood. He discovered Richter with the
knife sticking in his breast, and in that
condition he was carried to the station,
it being thought best to have the
weapon removed by physician. The
amputated portions of his anatomy were
found on chair.
DR.. Bryant attended his wounds, and
brought him around into such condi-
ton that he expressed desire to live,
and he has fighting chance to recover.

The Senator Is Now at Santa Monica-A
Compromise Hoped for-The Peninsular
Line-Notes.

The work OF the Southern Pacific
graders at Santa Monica cafion is pro-
crossing finely. What the outcome will
be in reference to the hoped for COM
promise between the railroad and Sena-
tor Jones, who is here at present, cannot
now be stated
THE PENINsULAR RAILROAD.
r. A.. Graham has returned from San
Quintin to start the final surveying
work of the Peninsular railroad from
this end, Gays the San Diego Union. A
quantity of supplies and provisions
will go by motor to Tia Juana, today.
for the force of surveyors. Mr.. Graham
expects to have the survey pushed
through to San Quintin by January 18th.
Actual construction of the railroad will
then begin. The Mexican government
has rendered them every facility, and
now that Sir Edward Jenkinson has
been over the line he is satisfied that
the directors can put the road through
to San Diego without further delay.
Speaking of the progress at San Quintin
bay, Mr.. Graham says that the fill his
men are making will require $4,000
cubic yards of sand and rock.
NOTES.
A personal friend OF President G. p.
Huntington in this city says that there
is absolutely no truth in the report that
A. d. Wilder was to lose his position as
superintendent of the western division
OF the Southern Pacific.
The Terminal nabobs will be here
early in January.
