Mrs. wakeman and Her work.

The Society for Political Study was
formed about five years ago, its object
being the study of municipal govern
ment. After the first year course of
historical study was undertaken by the
advice of the committee, but it was
unsuccessful, and when Mrs. T. B.
Wakeman became its president the cur
rent topics of the day were taken up,
and the society has fourished ever since.
1t holds weekly meetings at the house of
one of its members, Mrs. Johnston, on
Stuyvesant square, and after the read
ing of paper discussion follows. Mrs.
Wakeman is eminently fitted to be the
president of this wide awake society, for
she is a strong advocate of womens
clubs and keeps up with the newest
ideas on serious questions. Formerly a
member of Sorosis, Mrs. Wakeman re-
signed some years ago, finding her
household duties and family cares re-
quired her exclusive attention, but now
that her children are grown she has re-
sumed her interest in various public
questions, and besides being president
of the Society for Political Study she is
a member of the Woman's Suffrage
league and the Ladies Health Protective
association, and, with other energetic
and philanthropic women, is trying to
form bureau of justice for the purpose
of having women present at the trial of
women in court.
The bureau when fully organized will
hire respectable women to be present on
these occasions, SO that no woman will
be tried alone without one sympathizing
woman by her side. Mrs. Wakeman is
a member of the old Ludlum family that
has lived on the same land at Oyster
Bay, l.. l., for about 200 years. Since
her marriage she has lived in this city,
part of the time in Harlem, but she now
lives in cozy, homelike house in West
Nineteenth street. She has three chill
dren-a married son and two daughters,
one of whom is clever artist. Mr.. T..
B. Wakeman is a brilliant lawyer, and
takes an active interest in the scientific
temperance question, and is member
of the Nineteenth Century club.
Mrs. Wakeman has sweet, bright
face, with deep earnest eyes and dark
hair that is just beginning to turn gray.
She is an earnest advocate of clubs for
women, and says that she wishes every
woman might belong to at least one.
They give woman something to think
about besides mere material necessities,
enlarging their minds and making them
more companionable to their husbands
and hrothars --Naw Vorly World

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ma
tional City Record, has started in to
take the Los Angeles press in hand for
daring to speculate on the prob
abilities of the action of Con-
gressman w. w. Bowers when it comes
to seeing justice done to the interests of
Los Angeles county. 1t calls this inno-
cent amusement, ''indulging in un-
called-for filings at the congressman-elect
of this district" For our part, we have
always supposed that we had treated the
Hon. w. w. B. with distinguished con-
sideration. Knowing the gentleman
personally very well, and knowing the
peculiar fervor of his devotion to San
Diego, and in view of the fact
that he is no longer in the
Sixth district, of which Los Angeles
is constituent part, we have had the
hardihood to express the opinion that
Mr.. Bowers will not be likely to suffer
any mental rupture from his efforts in
behalf of Wilmington harbor and kim
dred matters. 1t may be that we are
wrong. If such shall prove to be the
fact the HERALD will be most willing to
acknowledge its error. Meanwhile, we
must say that we have no recollection
of having accused Mr.. Bowers of having
been horse-thief or of any other grave
departures from the ordinary code OF
morality. He seems to be all right.
The only question at issue is how we
stand

Colonel Blanton (sometimes rendered
Blatant) Duncan still lives, and that he

knowing just where one stands, and
when it is case of the whole world and

less this interesting event will be ush-

ALL the trains leading to the seashore
were thronged yesterday, and the extra
trains to Santa Monica, lately put on by
the Southern Pacific, were availed of to
their fullest capacity. All that the city
by the sea now needs in order to start a
rattling boom is a wharf, with the
steamers stopping there as OF old. This
is likely to be the case very shortly, as
Senator Jones is himself determined to
build wharf if nobody else does. Re-
dondo, also, is in the full tide of popular
favor and business prosperity, her excel
lent railway facilities doing muck to put
her in the swim.

THE health of the people of Los An
geles is very much threatened just now
by the shameful condition which. oul
streets are allowed to be in. We have
been at great pains to make passable
thoroughfares, and filth is allowed to
accumulate on them to an unheard-oi
extent. This is frequently the case to q
distressing degree on Second street, be-
tween Spring and Broadway, and on
both of these latter streets in the most
crowded portions of the city. The odors
arising from this densely crowded part
of the city are 80 noisome that they are
Injurious to the health and absolutely
annihilative of the comfort Of those who

Mr.. Miles, partner of the deceased,
states that the result of the murder ls
equal to ruination for him. Although
he has no capital invested in the busi-
ness, he has put in considerable time
and no little expense i'll removing here
from Santa Fe, N NJ, where he went
after disposing Of his share OF the
former proprietorship of Miles "
Camfield. Mr.. Miles is as
much in the dark as anyone
concerning the identity of Miller's MUIR
derer, but thinks the crime was COM
mitted for the purpose of robbery. The
popular opinion, however, seems to be
that the murder was committed as an
act of personal vengeance on the part OF
the unknown assassin. Whatever the
motive may have been, or whoever the
man that did the killing, the present
indications are such as to indicate the
affair will never be cleared.

Perhaps the most attractive cape on

nailed with jetted tacks the size Of a

The exhibition OF rare plants, fruits
and economic plants, to be held at
Hazards pavilion under the auspices Of
the Southern California horticultural
society, promises to be by far the finest
thing of the kind ever attempted in this
state. The gentlemen at the head OF
this undertaking are prominent as prac-
tical horticulturists and enthusiastic
amateurs in garden development. Their
object is to foster the development OF
horticulture in this section as applicable
to orchard products, coupled with a
desire to establish by practical demon
stration the possibility OF growing in
gardens many new, rare and beautiful
towering plants not now known to our
people. Some of their results will be
shown at this exhibition, and as their
mission is wholly unselfsh they deserve
every encouragement.

are already familiar with the fine work
accomplished by this organization dur
ing past seasons, and the announcement
of this, the first concert of the season,
will be hailed with delight by every one
who has heard the club on former occa-
sions. Every effort has been put forth
to make the concert the best given by
the club, and those who have enjoyed
the privilege of attending the rehearsals
are loud in their praise of the work be-

A German Actress Runs Off With a
Married Man.

Married Man.
German circles are much exercised
over recent elopement. Some time ago
a remarkably pretty young woman and
her husband came here. The woman
was possessed Of an attractive presence,
considerable talent and wit, and took a
prominent part in theatricals, playing
soubrette role in which she was emf
nently successful. She made the ac
quaintance of rather sportive German
who paid her great amount of atten-
tion, and soon became so intimate as to
cause considerable comment, particu
larly as he was a married man and has
two or three children.
As time passed the pretty head of the
girl was turned by the batteries of her
admirer and few days ago the pair
eloped. No trace has been found of
their whereabouts by the deserted hus-
band, or the abandoned wife. The
woman belonged to a most respectable
family here, and has relatives in San
Francisco.

JUDGE "DIcK" EGAN.
He Receives an Apology From an Ana
helm Paper.

He Receives an Apology From an Ana
helm Paper.
We owe an apology to Alcalde Egan of
the independent state of San Juan Cap
istrano, says the Anaheim Gazette.
Some weeks ago, it will be re-
membered, we stated that two shooting
scrapes at Capistrano had been COM
promised through the forensic tact dis
played by the alcalde-one by the paw
ment OF $4 and the other by the pay
ment of $40 to the parties shot from the
men who did the shooting. Comes the
alcalde protesting, disclaiming all
knowledge of the latter case, and re-
pudiating all connection with it. So we
tender him the amende, and say that
Judge Bacon or Captain Ferguson did it.
The alcalde, be it known, acknowl-
edges making the $4 trade, and we think
the Judge ana the captain ought to
stand the other in equal shares between
them.
Time was when the alcalde's indie
pendent state had an hombre for break
fast every morning, and nothing was
said about it either. Now the coroner
runs down on the least provocation and
sits on every corpse-although the last
one he had there was bad one. Judge
McKinstry himself has said that ii ever
he comes to leave the supreme bench
the height OF his ambition will be to be
chief justice of Capistrano- the judge
himself has said it-though if he had
us up for libel against him he would
have us on the hip. The newspapers
intrude the independent state nowadays
to such an extent that the alcalde is
about to issue a proclamation denying
them the cocktail privilege before break
fast. This it is thought will bring them
to terms, for the alcalde's cocktails are
tanglers from away back and are not to
be sneezed at even by newspaper men.
The man who was paid the $4 was
only shot in the arm, and although it is
not known whether amputation is.neces-
sary he is willing to take the chances
and be So ahead. Doc. Rowan gets 81
of the amount and the alcalde knocks
off his commission.
