SCIPIO'S CAPTURE.
How He Got the National Press
Association.


Major John G. Bundv, the editor of the
Religio Philosophical Journal of Chi
cago, tells how the National Editorial
association was captured for California
by Scipio Craig.
AS the representative of the Press
club OF Chicago on the executive COM
mittee of the National Editorial associa-
ton, met some forty or more commit
teemen and one solitary committe9wo-
man at the Burnett house in Cincinnati
on Wednesday afternoon of last week.
The widespread interest in the associa-
ton was eyinced by the presence of
committeeman from points as remote
from the rendezvous as California, New
Mexico, Louisiana, North Carolina,
South Dakota, and other distant places
in the United States and New Jersey.
Men came thousands of miles to aid in
transacting business consuming only
four hours in actual executive session.
The most important matter for decision
was the place for the next annual con-
vention. For this number of invita-
tions were before the meeting, backed
by alluring offers of hospitality and
facilities voiced by silver-tonguedo orators
from the SGVefaI lOCdllJleb. NOW jersey
was represented by delegates from AS
bury Park and Atlantic City, North Car
olina by strong force from Ashville; j;
and California, holding sectional rivalry
in abeyance for the time, sent an invinci-
BILE committee made up from the state at
large. Fifteen minutes were allowed
each applicant in which to portray the
advantages of his offer, and for an
hour tidal waves of eloquence surged up
and down the large parlor, each succeed
ing wave more powerful in its oleaginous
sweep than it's predecessor. At last the
seismic phenomenon of the Pacific en-
quilted the distracted listeners, and when
the red-headed hustler, Scipio Craig,
from Redlands, California, was seen
astride rainbow directing matters the
committee Internationally surrendered
and voted to go to California. The dele
gates will leave Chicago and st. Louis on
May 9th by special trains, uniting al
Santa Fe, the better to Withstand the
allurements of the region Of wine and
oil. where rose trees tower out of sigh
and no man can tell a lie.

A NEW GAME.
How It Was Worked by L. G. Tenn

How It Was Worked by L. G. Tenn
ple-Courtin.
Another clever crook was arrested
yesterday by Officer Rinkenbaugh, at
Washington gardens, in the person Of
L. G. Temple Courtin, whose aristo-
cratic lineage did not prevent him from
being charged with stealing an unlim-
tied number of parasols and umbrellas.
The prisoner has been in the habit of
visiting houses all about town and Offer
ing to repair sun and rain-shades which
needed attention. He succeeded in OBJ
tanning a number of valuable para
soils and umbrellas mounted with
gold and silver handles, and disposing of
them at cheap prices to women other
than the rightful owners. About a
dozen ladies called yesterday at police
headquarters and described the articles
they had lost.
It would be a great help to the police
department. if ladies who have bought
such implements from a sleek-tongned
individual would report the fact to Chief
Glass. In almost every instance the
losers are willing to repay the price for
which these stolen goods were bought.

LIBRARY MATTERS.
Proceedings of the Directors at Yes
terdays Meeting,

terday's Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the library was
held yesterday, there being present
Directors Howard, Severance, Davies,
and President Dobinson.
Bills to the amount of $1932.23 were
approved and ordered paid. The libra
rian, Miss Kelso, reported that the cir
culation for the month of January was
28,785, an average of 959 per day; 714
new books were added, fifty of which
were donations.
The committee on attendants reported
having examined a number of appli-
cants for admission to the library train
ing class and the following named had
passed successfully: Misses Anna
Daisy Austin, Rachel Corrinne Davis,
Clara E. Hawley, Cora Elizabeth Wise,
Madge HI. Bennett, Nora A. Miller.
The following resolution was passed
with reference to the petition of III. V.
Van Dusen ct al. for the establishment
of delivery station in East Los An
geles.
''The clerk is instructed to inform the
signers of the petition that this board,
in it's estimate to the city council for the
current year, included an estimate for
the establishment of such delivery sta
ton as is desired by the petitioners and
urged the city council to allow the same,
but the council refused to do 80, hence
this board is powerless to act in the
matter, from lack of funds, and only
suggest that the inhabitants of East
Los Angeles present their claims to the
council, who may deem it proper to give
them some reliefin the premises, in which
endeavor we assare the said petitioners
of cordial sympathies."
The board then adjourned.
