THE UNITY CLUB.

Several Interesting Talks Delivered on
Pre-Historic Man.
The attendance at the regular Wednes'
day night lectures furnished by this
popular club was quite large and
showed that the institution is growing
in public favor.
The club has adopted strict rule OF
punctuality, the lectures begin precisely
at s O'Clock, and each speaker limiting
himself to 25 or at the most 80 minutes.
The result is that although the topics
are often what are sometimes called dry,
the interest is so skillfully maintained
by the necessity for condensation, and
the change of speakers, that the allotted
time is spent before most of the audi
ence is alive to the fact.
Last night was perhaps the most euc-
cessful of the very fine course The
subject was Pre- Historic Man. 1t was
opened by Mr.. @. P. Dorland, in a we'll
written and highly instructive paper,
the reading of which he illustrated by
blackboard diagrams. He discussed the
problem of man before Adam, and
showed very conclusively that the world
must have been we'll peopled at the
time the alleged father of the race ex-
listed, and that the Scriptures prove the
fact.
Judge W. A. Cheney next spoke on
the Lost Island of Atlantis and held his
audience spellbound while he dilated on
the fascinating theme of buried civili-
cation that may be supposed to have at
one time ruled the world. The learned
gentleman spoke from notes and
charmed his hearers by his eloquent and
poetic diction, while his impassioned
earnestness in drawing the lesson of the
cyclic changes in empires and civiliza-
tionH evoked loud applause.
DR.. j. P. Widney, the concluding
speaker, departed from the announced
topic of Aryan Migrations, which he
said would require more time than
the rules of the club allowed, and fol.
lowed line of thought suggested by the
previous speaker, dwelling upon some
OF the factors that lie back of primitive
civilization. DIR. Widney's remarks were
full of scientific information and were
listened to with close attention. He has
the happy faculty of impartipg knowl-
edge in clear, concise manner, and his
talk rounded out the main topic of dis.
cussion very pleanently.
Next Wednesday the club holds 60
cial evening, at which music and re-
freshments will be introduced and the |

The merry county division war is now
tothe fore in legislative circles at Sscra-
mento. The latest arrivals there are
the genial Phil Stein, General Wasson
and others, who are clamorous for the
creation OF San Antonio county. Frank
Miller and his trusty lieutenants are up
holding the banner of Riverside county.
while strong contingent are demand
ing the creation of San Jacinto county.
This as to our own end of the state, not
forgetting movement to create new
county out of the northern end of San
Diego county. The proposition to ere.
ate the new county of MADEIRA out of a
portion of Fresno county has also some
strong lunged advocates. Altogether, a
good deal of work has been cut out for

The Democratic victory (?) at the
slate city election is having some curious
effects. At the last meeting of the
board of police commissioners sixteen
policemen were laid off, and their sue
lcesuors hsve been appointed. Of the
Inew appointees eleven are Republicans
land five Democrats. Here is where the
Inor-partisan proposition comes in, and
with vengeance. It is noteworthy
circumatance that the men displaced
from the police force are those who have
shown willingness to give frank and
full testimony in all that relates to
Chinatown. These men are not wanted
on the force. The people are keeping
an oblique eye on these developments.
They have by no means lost their power
to put two and two together.

WHEN Orange county was Topped off
Of Los Angeles county we had Blk supe-
.uior judges. We have that number now.
If they should succeed in creating the
county of San Antonio we should still
have six superior judges. 1t might not
be bad idea for the legislature to pro-
vide for the abolition of couple OF
these judgeships when the terms for
which their oecupants have been elected
shall have expired. Orange county has
Q judge OF her own, and SO will San
sJacinto county if the legislature shall
create it. There is surely no need for
the same number CT judges which were
created when Los Angeles embraced
Orange county. These gentlemen ought
to have an occasional vacation, but
there islno reason for making their po-
sitions sinecures.

Tho Chineso Matter Apparently Quiet
ing-A Protest.
Deputy Sheriffs Nudge and Dennis
Kearney returned from Compton yester-
day morning, where they were on duty
Friday night to prevent any trouble in
connection with the Chinese trouble in
that section. They report everything
all QUIET and no sign that there will be
any further trouble. For few days
yet, however, the sheriff's Office will
probably send deputy or two down at
night to be company for Deputy Frank
McCarrick, who is kept there all the
time.
In view OF some OF the remarks that
have been made about the trouble, the

ONLY MANSLAUGHTER.
THE VERDICT AGAINST YOUNG FOR
BURNING HIS MISTRESS.
The Jury Return . Verdict After
Having Boon Looked Up ALI
Nixht-Much Interest Taken
in the Case.

The jury in the Billy Young murde
trial finally agreed yesterday morning
after being out all night. They wer
brought into court at 0 40 O'Clock. A
that time there were quite number o
spectators in the court room.
The verdict was announced. ant
] proved to be conviction of guilty o
manslaughter. The defendant received
| the announcement very quietly. his
counsel appearing to be more moved
than he was.
Judge Smith fixed Thursday morning
next for the sentence OF the defendant,
at the request OF his attorneys. They
will at that time endeavor to procure
new trial for their client.
There is very general belief in the
public mind that Young is guilty OF the
murder OF bis mistress, Irene O'Brien,
and the verdict was very generally ap'
proved.
The case has become quite remarka-
BILE one by reason OF the numerous trials.
First there was corouer's inquest, then
a preliminary examination, and then
followed the three trials OF the defend
ant.
The juries in the first two trials stood
more for conviction than acquittal, but
there were several jurors who did not
think the evidence strong enough to
outweigh the alibi set up by Young.
On this last trial, however, the prose-
cution had found hard-headed young
Scotchman, named Donald Grant, who
corroborated the testimony of the un-
fortunate Lulu Dorman. He also saw
Young run out of Irene O'Brien's ''crib"
after the woman was burned.
So strong was the evidence that the
jury this time could not but believe that
ON the night Of June Goth Billy Young
deliberately threw lighted lamp at his
mistress with the intent of killing her.
and, after he saw what he done, tried
to sneak out the back door and escape.
The jury this time stood nine for con-
viction and three for acquittal from the
first. Among the three who held out
were A. M. Grant, brother of the witness
Donald Grant, and he was one Of the
last to join the majority.
The news of the verdict soon reached
Alameda street, and the women and
men of that locality discussed it in all
it's bearings. There was a much greater
disposition to talk than before the con-
viction. There were those who told
how Billy Young threw a pitcher at
Irene O'Brien's head week or two be-
fore she was burned, and had kicked
and beaten her frequently before that.
The "mac" fraternity were greatly
stirred up over the failure of their ef-
forts to clear Young. Speculations are
general as to to the sentence he will re-
ceive. The maximum term he can get is
10 wears.
