The thoughts Of death thai fro1e him. stu

The sacred summit, where through years long

His haunted heart y0n solitary pile;
Where. hymned by chants from white sailed

Der those blue waves melodious monotone,
Pallas Athene crowned d1gina's isle.
Hence would seek, when sweetly dies the day.
With yearning eyes her yet more glorious

Beyond the billowy mountains barrier gray,
Till my charmed spirit feel her flash divine;

So shall her perfect loveliness be mine.

The following letter to the HERALD
touches on some interesting points to
voters:
EDITORS HERALD: In its wisdom the
last Legislature amended section 1896 of
the Political Code of this state, relating
to registration. 1t is now the duty OF
the county clerk to enter on the Great
Register opposite the name of every
qualified elector his name at length,
age, height, complexion, color OF eyes,
color of hair, the visible marks or scars
if any and their locality, place OF nativ-
ity. residence (ward or precinct), place
OF naturalization, date of entry on regis
thus stated, there is no discretion left
the clerk, but he must make entries
conform to the provisions above cited.
Now, sir, not being well versed in
legal matters, it appears to me that
this section, and setting out in the
Great Register s'the visible marks and
scars" OF all applicants for registration,
may possibly entail some unpleasant
and serious consequences to some of the
county clerks in this state.
By way Of illustration, take my own
case I've had the smallpox and had it
bad. worked in the mines in early
days, and in the course OF a misunder-
standing with man who was un-
friendly and unkind to me, lost one of
my eyes Gin place of which l now wear
a glass substitute), and piece of one of
my ears was bitten off, which latter
defect my once luxuriant growth of hair
now fails to hide from view. By an
accident latef on l sustained injuries to
two of my fingers, and they no longer
grace my left hand.
Well, like all other Americans, I love
to exercise my rights under the elective
franchise; but to do this under the
provisions Of this obnoxious and unjust
law am compelled to submit myself to
the county clerk, and have my un-
fortunate defects published to the world
in the Great Register of Los Angeles
county.
It's quite unpleasant to think Of, but
nevertheless the failure of the clerk to
record the fact that | am minus semi
circular piece in my left ear might be
used successfully as a ground of chal-
lenge when my vote is presented at the
polls.
Don't you see, Pm practically dis
franchised. OF course it may be l
could take advantage of section 248 of
the penal code, and prosecute the clerk
for publishing my natural defects, and
thereby exposing me to public hatred,
contempt or ridicule," and have him
fined $4,000 or sent to Jail for year.
But it don't seem that would help mat
ters much.
Sir, there are scores of men in Los
Angeles county today who bear "visible
scars" as the result of honorable war
fare that it would be the grossest libel to
publish description of.
Laws are made to protect our citizens
from indignities. The section l have
cited is surely unconstitutional in at
tempting to abridge the rights of myself
and thousands of others.
Again: James Smith presents him
self for registration. His badness is not
apparent to the clerk until the descrip-
tion is completed, the affidavit signed,
and Smith raises his hat to be sworn.
What is visible mark or scar, any
way?
This matter, should be discussed, and
perhaps some good lawyer with big
heart will set at rest the anxiety of
thousands, among whom is
A PIONEER.

GREGORIO'S FATE.

A Little Boy Falls From Wagon
Breaking His Neck.
Coroner Weldon yesterday held an in
quest at the Cerritos ranch, on the body
of Gregorio Ybarra, 6-year r.old boy.
The little fellow had been playing near
the ranch house, and on Tuesday even
ing was found lying unconscious near a
wagon in which he had been playing.
The child was bleeding at the mouth,
and his parents thought he had been
eating some poison weed. The autopsy
showed, however, that the boy had
broken his neck. 1t is therefore proba-
Bile that he fell from the wagon and was
fatally injured. The verdict was in ac-
cordance with this theory.

PORTER THE HUGGER.
He Pleads Guilty to Two Charges ant
Paws His Fines

A. E. Porter, the "hugger," who on
Saturday night made love to all the
women he met on Spring street, was
tried by Justice Austin on two charges.
The peculiarly unconventional way
Porter had of displaying his affection
cost him $25.
The other charge was that of resisting
an officer. The prisoner when arrested
happened to bite Officer Walker through
the upper lip, which has not hitherto
been considered good form. On account
of this other eccentricity Porter was
fined $75. He had the money and was
released.

wear his badge he wore at the con-
vention hall when he appears in the
Houston convention seeking admis-
sion? The badge was labeled: Hold

suit to this city. The chances are
that the Mayor will not answer these
questions, uor acknowledge that the
state convention has the right to ask
them, becau e he is accredited with
having made q com animation already
with q number OF repu blicau office
holders by which they are to retain
their offices, and the third party
people, by which they are to get the
legislative offices and some of the pro-
minent county offices. The question
also should be asked him, if he, as
the chairman of the Democratic exc

with his associates, Messrs II. H.
Micklejohn, Architect Kramer, Ed

caucus that the candidates selected
democrats and republicans, should be
the persons to be supported by the
two parties jointly, and that neither
party should make party nominations
and that neither Mr.. Callaghan as
chsirmsn of the democratic committee,
or Mr.. Terrell, as the repu blican chair.

CONSUMED TO ASHES.

The Carpenter Shops at Fort San
Houston are Wrecked by the
Fire Element
AT 1915 o'clock last night the city
was again startled by the dreaded
sound of the fire bell. The alarm
came in from box l43, situated at the
corner of Military avenue and Gray
son streets. At the sound of the bell
people were heard to cry Mcdonald
Is OUT" and the first green car that
passed was boarded by curious people
wishing to witness the blaze. The
fire was found TO be on the govern
ment reservation and located in the
shops, just north of the tower. 1t
started In the paint shop aud rapidly
spread to the others. 1t was discov.
cred by the Waterman at the sally
port, who saw it when no larger than
. candle light, and when asked by a
reporter where it originated he replied
that he did not have to tell. The
sentinel at post 8 also discovered it
and fired his piece as q signal. The
soldier boys were on the ground in a
few minutes and coupled their
hose to the hydrsnt, but the
water would not come. The Sunset
hose cart was on the scene first and
in plenty OF time to have saved the
building, but they could not get
water, either. Through the muddy
streets engine. No. 2 had a hard time
o it and did not arrive early. When
ii did come it was stationed on A ustin
avenue and the boys went to work,
and in less time than IL takes to tell
it, two good streams were playing on
the fire. 1t is not known how it
started, but 1t is thought to have
been the result of spontaneous COM
bustiou.
The building burned is about 450
feet long. 1t had only one wall, q
rock wall, running through the center
of the building, which supported two
shed roofs Nearly all was destroyed.
1t also caught the store rooms, but
this was put out in short order. The
loss of tools. wagons, etc, was very
large and amounted to fully SIS, 900.
The sheds were not very expensive
and can be replaced very shortly. A
few wagons We're lost but no stock.
The stables were saved by the
soldiers, who used what little pres
sure they had in keeping them satu-
rated. There was no insurance on
the building whatever. 1t was stated
by an officer last night that the gov
eminent never lnsures. Sergeant
Ditmar, of troop D, third cavalry,
who was assisting in pulling some
hose, STUN bled, fell and in this posi-
ton was overcome by the heat. He
was seen by some OF the men and
removed to cooler place, where he
soon recovered.
On the way back from the fire at
ILLS o'clock, quite crowd of people
boarded q green car and all were
charged the 10 cent fare.
