because Of his calamitous procrastinations.
Meantime, Sally Sellers, who wAs aa practi-

Sellers was romantic and nristocratic, WAS
leading a life OF intense interest and activ-
ity, and getting the most she could out of
her double personality. All day long in the

At college she had learned n trade without

she was the designer of her own gowns.
She had no idle moments after that, and
wanted none; for the exercise of nm extra
ordinary gift is the snupremest pleasure in
life, and IL wa manifest that Sally Sellers
possessed n gift Of that sort in the matter
of costume designing. Within three DAYS
after reaching home she had hunted up
some work; before Pete was yet due in
Washington. and before the twins were

The friends cogitated over the note pro-

Because that's no place for a seance.

JEANNE's CHARACTER.
Witnesses Who Claim to Have Seer
Her Endearments.

Witnesses Who Claim to Have Seen
Her Endearments.
The trial of Miguel Samonset, who is
charged with seduction by Jeanne
Elisetche, is still progressing before
Judge Smith, and is attracting quite a
throng OF auditors. During the morn
ing session DIR. Kirkpatrick, F. Murillo
and others were examined on some
points of minor Importance covering
Samonset's case of liver complaint.
In the afternoon George Grimminger
testified for the defense, and detailed
questionable conversation alleged to
have been held with Mile. Elisetche.
Prof. Antonio Cuyas testified that he
had lived in house adjoining the
Buena Vista house in 1888. He had
seen Jeanne Elisetche sitting in a mans
lap, with her arms around him, in the
dining room of the Buena Vista house.
Mrs. Cuyas, who at that time was the
proprietress of the Buena Vista house,
gave testimony of similar character.
She had also seen Jeanne Elisetche going
into mems rooms at late hours, and had
spoken to her about it, and had also
told her sister. She had also seen her
getting on mans lap in the dining
room.
Catharine Escalier and Frank Esca-
lier, relatives of the defendant, testified
as to Mile. Elisetche calling at their
house and asking to see Samonset.
Policemen Valencia and Stewart testi-
fed to the bad character OF the Buena
Vista house at the time that Jeanne
Elisetche was stopping there.
M. O'Neill gave testimony to the
effect that he had been night manager
at the Buena Vista house, and that one
evening he went to the room of Eugene
Bird to tell him that he was wanted at
the Office. He entered Birds room and
found Jeanne Elisetche sitting on Birds
lap with her arms around his neck. He
had also seen her coming out of Birds
room at late hours at night. The court
then adjourned until this morning.

Flavor Of Bread.


There is no baking powder which pro-
duces such sweet and tasteful food as the
Royal Baking Powder. One of the great
est of the claims of the manufacturers
of this powder is tbatit leavens without
fermentation or decomposition, and that
the exact equivalents of its constituents
are used, whereby perfectly neutral
result is obtained, which invariably
guarantees that particular and peculiar
flavor in bread so much desired and ap-
preciated by all. In fact the oldest pat
rons Of this powder declare that they
get not only q superlative lightness of
the bread, but that the biscuit, cakes,
mullins, etc., never taste quite SO sweet
or so good as when they are raised bv
the Royal Baking Powder. This comes
from it's perfectly uniform combination of
the best and purest materials, as has
been shown to be true by the recent
examinations made by both the United
States and the Canadian governments,
which reveal the fact beyond question
that the Royal Baking Powder is the
most scientifically compounded of any
in the market. The Royal gives a de-
licious flavor to the bread.
The San Francisco board of health
gives valuable advice as to the most
wholesome baking powder. The follow
ing report is published over the sigma
lures of all the physicians of the board |:
"We, the members of the board of
health of the city and county of San
Francisco, cordially approve and recon-
mend the Royal Baking Powder. 1t is
absolutely pure and healthful, COM
posed of the best ingredients, of the
highest strength and character.
"In our judgment, it is impossible to
make purer or stronger baking powder
than the Royal"

COSTLY WHISPERS.
THEY CAUSE A DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST THE s. P.
Yeager Had a Full Beard When He Pur-
chased His Ticket. But He Shaved
Afterwards-The Train Agent Thought
He Was Somebody Else.

A rather curious suit for damages was
filed in the county clerks Office yester-
day, clustering around a mans whisk-
ers. The suit was made by F. p.
Yeager against the Southern Pacific
Railroad company and George II. Odell
and James N. Bowling.
The complainant alleges that on Feb
ruary 9th he took the Southern Pacific
train at Los Angeles for San Francisco.
He had in possession ticket which he
had purchased from the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railroad at Pueblo,
Col, emitting him to transportation
from Pueblo to San Francisco and re-
turn to Los Angeles. At Tropico his
ticket was examined and he was given
a passage check. Later on Train Agent
Bowling entered the car in which
Yeager was riding and asked to see his
ticket and then requested him to sign
his name on blank sheet of paper. The
plaintiff did so. Bowling then said to
him that he purchased the ticket from
a scalper in Los Angeles. This Yeager
denied. Bowling then tore off the cou-
pom emitting him to ride from Los An
geles to San Francisco and return and
handed back the remainder of the
ticket, saying that ne would have to pay
his fare. When they reached West
Glendale station, plaintiff was told that
he would have to pay his fare to San
Francisco, or else get off the train.
Plaintiff insisted that he had purchased
the ticket at Pueblo and had paid $40
for it.
"But you have no beard" said Dar-
ling, ''and this ticket was sold to man
with beard"
In reply Yeager stated that he had
his beard shaved off while in Los An
geles, but the train agent would not ac-
cept his statement. When the train
reached Pacoima Messrs. Odell, Darling
and brakeman approached the plain
tiff in body, and told him he would
have to get off the train. He declined
to do 30, and he was then elected from
the train. Yeager asked for the return
of the ticket coupons which had been
taken up, but they refused to give them
to him. When he was put off the train
he found the station hotel closed for the
night, and for the Inconvenience suf-
fered and the damage done his reputa-
tion, Yeager, through his attorney, j.
A. Donnell, asks for 900 damages.

in a Legal Battle.

Two Large Mining Concerns Engage
in Legal Battle.
A complaint was filed in the United
States circuit court yesterday by the
Waterloo Mining company against the
Silver King company, asking for a
judgment for $4,000.
The plaintiff owns mining property in
the Calico Mining district in San Ber-
nardino county, known as the Red
Jacket Gold, Silver and Nickel Mining
claim and the Red Jacket quartz mine,
and they allege that the defendant COM
pany has been running underground
slopes and tunnels into their property
and have extracted therefrora about 1900
tons of ore, valued at $50 pei ton. They
accordingly ask for Judgment against
the defendant company for $45, 600.
Three suits similar to the above have
been placed on file in the circuit court
at San Francisco. A. III. Picketts is at
torney for the plaintiff.

The charges preferred by J. G. John
con, engineer of engine 5, against j. w.
Heaney of No. 2, were heard. 1t
turned out that the cause of the COM
plant was simply harmless wordy
squabble, and the charges were dis
missed. The chief engineer was in
structed, however, to notify the men OF
the department that any rows in the

sidered serious breaches OF discipline,
and treated accordingly.
A number of demands were approved

Against the Trustees.

Open Letter With a Loud Complaint
Against the Trustees.
EDITORS HERALD: At the request of
number of your patrons would address
this note to the county superintendent
of schools through the columns of your
paper:
To the Hon. Mr.. Seaman, School Superinten-
dent, Los Angeles county:
DEAR SIR: Believing, as I do, that
you have the interests of the school
children of this county sincerely at
heart, l would ask you few questions
in regard to school government.
1 take this public means of propound-
ing the questions that other schools
similarly situated as this Though God
advantage OF your counsel and advice.
First-Is it not the imperative duty
of the trustees to keep an eye on the
and intellectually Is it not also their
duty to publicly visit the school, as well
as privately to study the characteristics
Of the larger scholars, that their infiu-
ence over the smaller ones may be used
for good purposes?
BY doing this, do not the trustees aid
the teacher in ferreting out the evil in
huence 80 often met in our public
schools?
Second-Is it the correct thing to
elect trustees who are SO engrossed In
business affairs that they never visit
when both scholars and teacher are on
&Ios- <xnoI hahousox
Thirds it good judgment or COM
one principle of teaching is to let the
school govern itself?
BY letting school govern itself does
not it lead to insubordination and lack
of discipline and do not these lead to
greater evils?
Should not teacher be kind, digni-
fed and infexible, thus creating a re-
spect for himself among the scholars
In schools notoriously bad would not
it be far better to keep the boys and
girls separated on the play grounds?
to be good plan, for then the young
that the little girls breathe.

foul and filthy conversation carried on
by some of the scholars, and shame to
say some of the larger ones; in this they
are adopts, and would make shining
lights among the urchins of hell's hall
acre in almost any city.
In vain hos the secretary of the school
board, who is the entire board central
lied in one man, tried to evolve some
plan by which the moral conditions of
the school can be bettered.
Perhaps, dear sir, you, in your official
capacity, can suggest something to the
benighted minds of the trustees and
teacher, that will either curb or eradi-
cate this evil element.
For SO surely as the sun rises and sets,
the larger will corrupt the smaller
scholars, and wouldn't you spare inno-
cent little humanity, at least in their
first experience away from home. with
out the surveillance of a mothers eye?
Very truly yours,
Pro Bono PUBLICo.
