! dDOut JIle way tuc sugar ldCtOIy pcOpic
at Chino have treated the beet sugar
| farmers there. am told that hundreds
OF acres of beets are unharvested, and
! that many farmers are in destitute con-
dition, that the factory closed operations
months before the proper time and that
dissatisfaction is widespread among the
Chino growers. There are probably two
sides to the story, but the gossip would
seem to emphasize the necessity for CO.
operative factories.
A Dickey bird from San Diego told me
yesterday that Collector of the Port
John R. Berry was interested in the
San Diegan, Democratic newspaper.
Berry used to be Republican; his
enemies claim that back in Egypt,
Illinois, he was a Prohibitionist; and
now it appears he is coquetting with
Democracy, With all his experience he
is fooling with libel suit against the
Union-a libel suit Ia thing that inva-
riably shoots from thewrong end.

The Friday Morning club is excited
because reporter, "a young womapl
i poked some kind of fun at it. The
Friday Morning club is composed OF
women; to expect that another woman
could describe their proceedings without
offense is tantamount to expecting to be
able to pick prickly pears from lily
plant. If cold hearted, sneering.
brutal, real live man reporter had
pitched into them they would have re-
garded him with only pity, but from a
member Of their own sex-that is too
too.
Now that delightfully."- funny company,
the Woman's Press association, is in
serious trouble. In Oakland there is
bright young woman who is an Indian,
and who has a negro husband. This
native daughter, being something of
writer, has applied for membership in
the association, and the application was
referred to committee, which means
that it will be denied. But the matter
has caused the association to divert its
attack from the newspaper men who
have been wondering about its reason
for existence, and writing about it's in
appropriate name, and now the men,
bers are with vigor fighting each other
pro and con on the question of admit
ting the indo-Afro-American young
writer, who, it is feared, could bring her
husband to the association g socials.

If the countess of Salisbury were to
appear in Los Angeles and have her
little contretemps happen on Spring
street on semi-tropic afternoon, she
would find no men about, as courteous or
as pure minded as Edward III to pick
up to be envied garter, with reprov-
ing hoai soft glti NAL y ,pease .tothe light
minded. How do know? Because of
story / hear. A young woman Of this
city, one OF the prettiest and most styl-
ish girls in town, was recently walking
on Spring street not hundred miles
from one of the fashionable hotels. She
had recently received as present pair
of silver buckled garrers, the fastening
of one of which it happens was insecure.
AS she walked by the hotel, looking
away from the crowd OF ili-mannered
statues who do thereabout congregate,
tie garter dropped to the sidewalk and
lay there, cleaning silken, silver OBJ
iect. The statues removed their cigars
from their mouths long enough to laugh,
and enjoyed the young lady's confusion
as she picked up the graceful little
circlet and hurried on.

/ heard member of the judiciary
snore one night recently. 1t was quite
the right hour for him, or anyone else
to snore, but the place and occasion
were not fitting. The place was the
opera house and the occasion was one OF
Fanny Cleopatra's nights. Why he
should have gone to sleep, may not be
easy to understand. But the fact re-
mains.

Those normal school girls are dam
gerous lot to write about; they are
brawny as we'll as brainy, being educated
in both lines. But why make athletes
out OF the to be teachers? I read re-
Gently statement from their gymnastic
teacher, that one of them could swing
her Indian clubs for thirty minutes.
That is entirely too long for any one
man, woman, or prize fighter to prac-
tice any such exercise. Another note
recently published about these physical
culture young women, was that one OF
them in swinging from one side of the
gymnasium to the other, fell and was
seriously injured. Those girls, if they
survive, will be able to handle refractory
pupils without any resort to moral
| suasion. ~ s4seG9.
