The school census begins today, and it
should be made very thorough. The
enumeration of Mr.. Robert P. Porter
has done us all the injustice we can af-
ford to submit to. The school fund is
the only shape in which we can hope to
get back any of the money we send up
to Sacramento. Every parent who re-
sides in Los Angeles has a right to give
in his children up to seventeen years of
age, whether they are in private schools,
away at college, on visits, or what not.
1t is little short of a crime to fail to
make these returns complete. In addi-
tion to determining our proportion of
the school fund, such a census gives a
most valuable factor in estimating our
real population.

THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Santiago the Only Los Angeles Starter
In the Race.

The great Brooklyn handicap will be
run this afternoon. 1t will be sensa-
tional race. The probable starters are
Tenny 12S, Burlington 120, Prince Royal
III, Tea Tray 116, Castaway 1O8, San
tiago 10S, Leighton LOG, Cousin Jeems
LOG, Russell los, Uncle Bob 100, Saun-
terer 100, Once Again 100, Cheatham 9s,
Carroll 81, King Thomas 95 and Nellie
Bly, 95.
Several of the above mentioned horses
will doubtless be withdrawn at I8 a. IN.
today, but fully dozen will sport silk.
Ii Tenny is the horse he was last year,
the great swayback will about land .he
money. | have always been an ardent
admirer of Prince Royal, and shall
expect him to be well up at the finish
Burlington will be dangerous factor in
the race. Tea Tray is speedy enough to
win, but he is liable to sulk when called
upon. think the winner will be found
among Tenny, Burlington, Tea Tray and
Prince Royal. OF the outsiders, have
great liking for the Los Angeles bred
Santiago. He will be great horse this
year, but the advices received up to date
do not state whether he is ready
for race. Ii he is, the son
of Grinstead will surprise great many
people. There are several other four
year-olds that should not be overlooked.
Some OF these four-year-olds generally
show a wonderful improvement over
their three-year-old form. Ii that coun-
terfeit, King Thomas, should take it in
his head to run, wouldn't it be great
boil over for the talent?

THOSE emotional people who are never
happy unless they have sensation Of
some kind to ponder over will be inter-
ested in learning that Prof. Totten, of
Yale college, has figured it out that the
millennium will take place in the year
1899. This is timely information and
enables people of spiritual turn of
mind to get ready to join the procession.
There is no snap judgment about this
programme. Eight years is long enough
for almost anybody to dress up in the
millenial line. Deiniteness in an
nouncements of this kind is to be COM
mended.

THE shooting down of Joe Dye in the
streets of Los Angeles yesterday is the
most sensational episode this city has
had for years. His slayer violated the
unwritten frontier rule of giving a man
a show, and resorted to the bushwhack-
ing method. There are few men who
would have cared to meet the deceased
in an open, square fight, and no favor.
It is one Of the ironies of fate that Dye
passed away just as he had attained
opulence, after years of struggle.

AUSTRALIAN THOMPSON.
He Is Anxious to Lose Some Antipodean
Gold in America.

New York, May 14.--The Tribune
says of the Brooklyn handicap tomor-
row: Tenny will be a pronounced
iavorite. Senorita is handicapped in
case OF rain, but with good track, will
be close up. The same is true of Prince
Royal and Tea Tray. Eon will do we'll
on wet, heavy track. Dave johnson
tonight took up Joe Thompson's g
( 5000 bet that neither Tea
Tray, Tenny nor Senorita would
win, Thompson then went to the St.
James and laid the following bets, 5000
! that Tenny wasn't first, $500 he wasn't
second, $500 he wasn't third, Tenny to
start, with "SoP' Lichenstein. "Sol"
| had to give Thompson $25 for the bet.
Thompson then bet $1,000 against Tenny
being first, $1,000 against his being sec
ond, $1,000 against being third, with
James Murphy of Chicago.
Pulsifer, his former partner, gave
Thompson $50 for his bet. He then
offered 500, 900 to $40, 1000 against Tenny,
with no takers. The entire Tenny dele
CATION were there, including ]. Murphy,
Kirk Gum, VIM. Riley and other
Chicago sports. Bets were offered and
|, not taken that Tenny would not be ia
'vorite at the post. Thompson says he
will lay ponies to monkeys with the
! boys in this country and make big book
taking any kind of money. That sounds
well, but after a meeting or two the
boys will know without guessing who
| will be the monkey. Thompson is being
well advertised by his present betting.

THE STATE w. C. T u.
Its 18TH Annual Meetinein Session Here.

It's 18TH Annual Meefinei in Session Here.
The seventeenth annual meeting OF
the Vermont Woman's Christian
Temperance union began its sessions
at the South church yesterday morn
ing, and will continue through to-
morrow. The threatening weather
did not prevent good attendance,
many of the delegates arriving yester-
dav. The local union had made
ample arrangements for the recep-
ton and entertainment of the visl-
tors. and the meetings promise to be
interesting.
Yesterday forenoon and afternoon
the time was taken up by preliminary
meetings of the officers, executive
committee and superintendent, to
plan the future work of the union
and prepare matters of business to
be considered by the delegates IN
open meeting.
Plans were considered for the
furtherance of gospel temperance
work along the Sunday school and
missionary lines; matters of finance
were also discussed, and a list OF
state superintendents named to be
voted on in today's meeting.
THE DEMoREsr MEDAL CONTEST.
Last evening, at Music hall, oc-
Cured the DemOrest gold medal con-
test. After scripture reading and
PRAYER, the children of the Loyal
Temperance Legion of ST. Johnsbury
marched on to the platform and sang
an opening song.
There were nine contestants for the
gold medal as follows; Jennie
Steele Of Peacham, Caroline Mat
tocks of Lyndon, Jennie Whitney of
St. Johnsbury Centre, Mabel E. Ware
and Edith Hancock Of Coventry.
Blanche E. Lucas of Marshheld,
Mary A. Lupien of Plainfeld, Fred
D. Reed of Townshend, and Lillian
Goodenough of Coventry.
This was the third contest of the
kind in this state, the others having
been held at Barton and Rutland.
The judges on this occasion were
Mrs. Read of Shelburne, Mrs. For
rest of Thetford and Mrs Hardy
The speakers were marked on five
points-namely, gesture, voice,
articulation, memory and general
effect. The theme of the declama-
tons all had direct bearing on
temperance and were meant to teach
effective lessons in that direction.
During the evening two of the very
little people were introduced-Edwi-
an Blodgett and Gertie Lampher-the
former singing a bird song very
prettily and the latter giving cute
recitation which drought down the
house" Sadie Cameron also sang
very pleasingly little white ribbon
song; and the closing music was a
solo by Maud Miles and chorus by
the Legion, Master Frank Harris
leading the chorus nicely with a
cornet
The judges were some little time in
making up their minds as to the
wearer of the gold medal, but finally
decided upon Jennie Whitney of St.
Johnsbury Centre. Mrs. Housh
pinned the medal on the successful
contestant, whereat the Caledonia
county contingent in the audience ex-
pressed their approval in vigorous
applause, the young members of the
Legion giving especial vent to their
feelings of delight. Mrs. E. A. Kenyon
presided over this meeting.
