was agreed to submit the knotty
question to the city attorney, and he
decides that majority of a quorum is
sufficient to elect. Now the question
comes up, which of the two ladies who
were voted for has been elected. One
would reasonably think that the candi-
date first voted for was the successful
one. But Mrs. Severance, as we learn,
has applied for a writ of mandate order
ing the board to recognize her as the
legally elected member to fill the va
cancy. Mrs. Hughes has not yet been
heard from. Perhaps she does not want
the position, but should she claim it,
there will be another pretty how-de-do.
We regret to see that our clever, gallant
and handsome city attorney has cast any
doubt whatever upon the eligibility of
ladies to the position of members of the
educational board. This obiter dictum of
his may further complicate the tangle.
Is it possible that the city's legal light
has an idea at this late day that mu-
nicipal charter can override a general
state law?

CHASED BY A BRUTE.
MRS. MouLToN BRAvELY DEFENDS
HER PERSON.
A Wild Ride Across the San Joaquin
Ranche-She Tries to Kill Lustful
Assailant.

Mrs. L. Moulton is little woman.
but she is not afraid of anything-not
even a mouse. She and her husband
live on the San joaquin rancho, some
distance south OF Santa Ana, and she is
in the habit of riding horseback about
the country alone, to see her friends and
relieve the monotony of her otherwise
isolated existence.
On Saturday she rode to Santa Ana
and staid we'll into the evening talking
to friends. She was urged to stay all
night, but laughingly declined. As she
had ridden over the road after dark
many times before, her friends did not
persist, and off she went.
Mrs. Moulton is good rider and has
a splendid saddle horse. She loped along
in the moonlight enjoying the ride,
when she heart hoofbeats rapidly near
ing, but she paid little attention until a
horseman rodeup beside her and grasped
her rein. He leaned over towards her.
and what he said left no room for doubt
as to his intention to violate her person
unless she yielded to his wishes ~-..-------
Mrs. Moulton always carried hand
some little nlckle-plated revolver. Like
a flash she drew this and fired at the
brute, missing him unfortunately. but
soaring him so that he dropped her rein,
and with bound her horse sprang for
ward and, race for more than life be-
gan, for the man followed close after.
Mrs. Moulton kept her revolver in her
hand and at intervals emptied it at her
pursuer, but with no result; it soon be-
came simply question of which was on
the best horse. Fortunately for the
brave little woman her animal gradu-
ally drew away from the one behind.
and in a short time she was safe at
home.
The very next day, while her husband
was away, the same man came to the
house. Mrs. Moulton saw him through
the window, and without giving him
any chance to enter, she opened fire on
him through the window and he disap-
peared in a hurry.

PERHAPS there could be no more con-
elusive test of the danger of nominating
MIR. Cleveland than the fact that poll
OF the members of the Democratic state
convention just held at Saratoga showed
that only about one in five of the dele
gates voted for him as their choice.
Mr.. Hill, however, polled majority of
all the delegates, and thus showed his
great strength in the party in New
York. 1t is possible that the Democracy
may be able to elect their candidate for
president at the next election without
New York; but it would be a very un-
safe proposition to tie to deliberately.
Ii New York is to count in the next
campaign with the same force as a
decisive factor that she did in the last.
then some one who can surely carry
that state must head the ticket. If it is
demonstrated by such straws as were
given out by the polling OF Saratoga con-
vention that Cleveland cannot carry the
state, then it would be perilous policy
to nominate him, especially when there
are other available leaders who can
surely carry it.

Cold Though Rnrneh.

Calvin Meek, colored man, who was
stealing ride in the first coach of the
passenger train, was found over the
engine of that train. When the freight
engine moved its way under the coach
Meek was thrown up and came down
upon the steam drum. to which he was
pinned by mass of wreckage, which
was removed after the greatest difficulty.
While his injuries were being dressed
Meek implored those around him to do
something for the intense cold that he
felt from his burns, and he begged them
not to let him freeze. He asked for a
blanket, and kept calling out that he was

IT is not strange that United States
District Attorney Cole can see no change
in the character or legal status of the
Itata from that which she held when
last in our waters. It would be too
much to expect that the author of libel
No. 2 could. The government started in
to prosecute the Itata as rebellious
vessel levying war in our jurisdiction
upon a friendly power. But the
tables have since been turned, and the
Itata, ii she was war vessel of the
rebels when she committed the alleged
offence, has now, by act of successful
arms, become war vessel of legiti-
mate and recognized friendly power.
Perhaps there is not another man in the
United States besides Mr.. Cole who can
see no change in the status of the Itata.
Why, even Harrison and his cabinet
have hazy idea that there has been a
change.

The Fast Of Ramsaan.

Ramadan, the Mussulman's terrible
month of daily fasting, is like the China
mans New Year, governed by the moon.
This year, precisely at the moment the
new moon became visible on the morn
ing of April s, Ramadan began and con-
tinued throughout the lunar month.
The origin of this long fast seems shroud-
ed in mystery, as tits said to have been OBJ
served by the fire worshipers long before
before the the time of Mahomet Ali, who
thought the command to all true believ-
ers to fast for eleven months in the year
was too much to require of mortal flesh
Through the angel Gabriel he therefore
besought the Great Spirit to reduce the
time one-half Finding this still a
heavy trial, he again interceded and got
the time fixed at one lunar month, where
it still remains. During this awful
month nothing in the way of food passes
the true Mohammedan's mouth between
dawn and sunset. In the morning, as
soon as a white thread can be distin-
guished from black one, the fast be-
gins.-St. Louis Republic.

The board of education have now got
the city attorneys Interpretation of the
law in their internal contention. but it
is hard to say whether they are any bet
ter off than they were before. Mr.. Nc
Farland says that the rule adopted by
the board requiring vote of five mem
bers for the passage of a resolution is
void, because the charter says that a
quorum is competent to transact busi-
ness, and therefore the majority of a
quorum is sufficient to pass resolutions,
adopt motions, etc. The board had got
stalled in trying to fill vacancy in lis
body. The resignation of Mr.. Shaeier

the orator OF the day. He eulogized
the character of Abraham Lincoln,
and speaking of the south said: 1.-The
new south is a fact. The child, how
ever, is Informed; its blood is tainted;
it is strong, but lacks endurance. 1t IS
as much your duty today to assist in
training and developing this partly
spoiled south, as it was late
in the fifties to educate,
through your patron saint, the nation
up to the point of emancipation of the
slaves and the preservation of the union.

done over again in the same way it was
