The Los Angeles Senator Rises to a Question
Of Privilege and Makes Replies to
Secretary Thompson

Senator r. B. Carpenter. in referring to
local WOIld's Fair matters, said yesterday
ct II. Thompson, one of the State Worlds
Fair Commissioners, makes in an interview
in The CALL this morning certain state
ments that l cannot allow to pass unchal-
lenged, especially that part of the interview
in which he states in substance that | said to
him in July that the Commissioners were a
set Of - ingrates' for not retaining me as
their counsel and instead employing Judge
McKinstry.
Il made no such statement in reference
to my employment. | never expected to be
employed by the commission, never COM
planned because l was not so employed, nor
did l make any statement that Judge Me
Kinstry was Objectionable because Of his
politics or otherwise, nor was the politics Of
anybody on that occasion mentioned so far
as ! recOllect
WHAT CARPENTER DID SAY.
"What l did way was that if the commits
sion wished to employ outside counsel it
should have employed Mr.. Estee, who had
framed the bill, had visited different parts
of the State in its interest, had gone to Sac
TamentO at his own expense, remained there
for several days, made an able exhaustive
constitutional argument in its favor, and
powerful appeal in favor of the expediency
of the bill before the respective committees
Of the two houses.
My criticism upon the conduct Of the
Commissioners referred altogether to the
unemployment of Mr.. Estee, and in no
sense to any personal interest Of mine. 1t
is not perceived why | am personally
dragged into this controversy. What | said
on that occasion has no bearing upon the
present question. / am not Commissioner,
/ am not accused of violating the law, and
how il makes the case Of the Commissioners
any better to misrepreSent me is more than
/ can see.
NO LEGAL GROUNDS SHOWN.
"If the opinion Of the Attorney General
is as valuable as Mr., Thompson seems to
think (and | do not cOutrOYeTt the value Of
any opinion of the Attorney General it is
difficult TO see upon what legal grounds the
com mission employed any counsel, when 1t
was the duty Of the ney-General to
represent the Commissioners and defend the
act of the Legislature.
'As to the amount the. Commissioners
have already received Of the appropriation
stated that as had heard it, ! do not pro-
Tess to have examined the records. 1t was
common report and doubtless Mr.. ThOmp-
son may be right upon that subject.
Whatever Mr.. Thompson may think
about il he will fud that lie and the other
Commissioners will be compelled squarely to
meet the question of the authority Of the
Commission to appoint assistant Commits
siOners and Secretaries and pay them out Of
the fund. and he will be compelled to meet
the other question of receiving $3.50 or $500
a month as the case may be from the fund
when the act declares he shall receive no
compensation whatever"

The Lions Ailments.

lr!oin the Illtspurg uispatchl
If lions and tigers catch cold dose of
powdered quinine is given to them in their
food. They sometimes suffer from dys-
pepsia, and a meal of liver set before
them is readily devoured and acts as a ca
thartic. They seldom need treatment,
however, for any trouble except ingrowing
nails. In savage state they keep their
nails pared down by clawing the trunks of
trees. In captivity the nails grow long
and sometimes penetrate the fesh of their
paws. 1t then becomes necessary to re.
lieve the pain by removing its cause. A
looped rope is thrown down on the floor
of the cage, the animals paws are caught
in II and he Is dragged to the bars In such
a position that the wound can be operated
upon. Pincers and a clip with a pair OF
sharp shears do the work and the brute il
released sound and cured.

Ever the Same.


When Commodore Billings and Mr..
Main were on the river Kahims they had
for attendant q young man from Kanogs,
an island between Kamschatka and North
America. one day Mr.. Main asked him:
"What will the savages do to me il fall
into their powerF'
''Sir," said the youth, "you will never
fall into their power If remain with you
l always carry a sharp knife, and If see
you pursued and unable to escape i will
plunge my knife into your heart; then the
ssvages can do nothing TO yon."
This recalls the words of the French
knight reported by Joinville: ''Swear to
me-" said Queen Margaret, ''that If the
Saracsns become masters of DAmietta you
will cut of my head before they can take
me-"
Willingly" returned the knight: 81

Water as q Disfnfectant.

uoOu hOUsckccplng-l
1t is fact that appears to be not gene
rally known, perhaps because it may not
be generally credited, that pure. fresh cold
water is one of the most valuable of dis
infectants, inasmuch as 1t is q powerful
absorbent. Every sick room should have
q large vessel of clear water, frequently
renewed, placed not far from the bed, or,
even beneath 1t. This not only absorbs
much of the hurtful vspor, but by its
evaporation it softens and tempers the at
mosphere, doing away with the dryness
which is 30 trying and depressing to an in
valid-or even to well persons, for that
matter. 1t has frequently been shown, by
actual experiment, that troubled sleep aud
threatened insomnia are corrected BY so
simple thing as the placing of an open
bowl of water near tine sufferers couch.
Of course, it hardly need be said, after
these matters have been considered for a
moment, that water which has stood for
any length of time in q close room is not
proper for drinking purposes.

as consistently Greek as possible. The
open-air theater was as perfect a model
of the ancient as modern scholar
ship could render it. It was constructed
in disused chalk pit, the tiers of seats
being cut out of the solid rock and each la
beled with its appropriate Greek number.
In the play itself the only alteration was
the omission of the masks. The spectacle
was greatly enjoyed.
n. G. Frick, chairman of the Carnegie
Steel company, is forty-two years old and
about five feet six inches high. Twenty
years ago he was a poor man, making
coke on a small scale In the Connellsyille
coke region; but in time he became the
king of that industry and locality. Mr..
Carnegie, awkening to the importance of
the coke business to .ron manufacturers,
bought an interest in Mr.. Frick's enter
prise in 1882. Five years ago Mr.. Frick
became chairman of the firm of Carnegie
Brothers & Co. His net revenue is said to
be 100000 or s3,000,000 year. His
experience with strikes in the coke region
led him to regard the leaders of organized
labor as unreasonable and unbusinesslike.
Hence the policy pursued at Homestead.
These are great days for discovery. 1t
has Just been discovered that the London
fog is a blessing in disguise. 1t is the
chief cause of the low death rate. The
authority for this statement is no less a
person than the President of the Institute
of Civil Engineers. He says that 1t is the
sulphur emansting from combustion of
coal which causes fog; that in London
about $50 .tops are thrown into the air on
large quantity of sulphur which counter |
acts the effects of the death-laden germs |
discharged from refuse-heaps and sewers,
by its deodorizing and antiseptic prop |
critics. The groper jim fog, therefore,
must not complain of its dirt or its odor. |
but If he be wise will inhsle as much of
the smutty and sulphurous compound as
his lungs will hold, and be thankful.
1t appears that Adlai E. Stevenson has |
a war record. The Rev. G. B. Snedeker,
a well known Methodist preacher who |
lives at Abingdon, Illinois, says: In 1864 |
myself and Stevenson, with others, were |
drafted. Mr.. Stevenson hired a man to |
go to the front in his place, and there was |
also one sent in my place. 1 see that Mr..
Stevenson says that he was in the army
for thirteen days. Well, I think / can
explain that record. When the draft was
made Stevenson was appointed by the
disloyal people to go to Springfield to see
that the drawing was fairly done; he
made some objection to the manner in |
which the drawing was done. when the |
officer told him to get up on the box and |
be blindfolded and see If he could do any
better Stevenson mounted the box and,
so the story was told, the first two names |
he pulled out of the box were my own |
and his. He was then satisfied, and let
the drawing go on. At that time he spent |
some ten or fifteen days in Springfield,
and that WAS the nearest he ever was TO
the war

The "Average,, woman.


How many who use the term average
woman" know what it impliesi Physical
ly it means that she weighs about one
hundred and seventeen pounds, and that.
If an American, she is somewhat taller
than five feet one inch. Observations
taken by the French academy relative to
the average height of /, ,l07 French women,
without shoes, show 1t to be that much.
DR.. Sergeant, from ,S35 observations,
concludes that the American woman is
nearly two inches taller than the average
daughter of France; and DR.. Galton, an
Englishman, in 40 measurements. found
that the women of Great Britain are the
tallest of the three, they exceeding Miss
Columbia by fully half an inch. In the
matter of weight, though, American femi-
ninity is slightly shead, though the figures
are not giyen.@

A Poor smoker.


Although in later life Napoleon was a
votary of the snuff box, he was never
known to attempt smoking but once. The
Persian ambassador having presented him
with magnificent oriental pipe, he wished
to give it trial. After being instructed
how to proceed he desired his attendant,
Constant, to light it. 1t was accordingly
properly charged and lighted. We will
let Constant tell the rest of the tale: 81
obeyed and returned it to him But
scarcely had he drawn a mouthful when
the smoke, which he did not know how to
expel from his mouth, turned back by his
palate, penetrated into his throat, and
came out by his nose, nearly binding him.
As coon as he recovered breath he ex-
claimed, Take that away-what an Abomi-
nationl The brutesi Ny stomach is quite
upsetr In fact, he was so annoyed for
more than an hour that he renounced for
ever all desire to try the experiment again. "
