Horses Fond of Women.

Not long ago muscular, 200
pound man, with his wife beside
him, was driving a fast, high-spir-
tied horse, harnessed to a light
wagon, writes II. c. Merwin, in an
interesting article entitled "When
Woman Takes the ReinS," in the
June Ladies' Home Journal. The
horse pulled very hard, and at last,
tired out, the driver handed over
the reins to his companion, saying ::
"HOld on to this beast for min
ute, if you possibly can, so that |
may rest my arms" Accordingly,
the woman took the reins, and no
sooner had she done so than the
horse quit pulling, went slower,
and became calm and Obedient. But
when the man resumed control the
animal Immediately began to pull
and to fight against the bit ashard
as ever. a second time the woman
took the horse in hand as before,
he submitted at once, and under
her guidance he trOtted gently
along till their destination was
reached.
Another case that fell under my
observation is the following: a
gentleman who is a good shot and
an expert tennis player, but who
has no "faculty" for horses, drove
out with his daughter, a delicate
girl of fourteen. Their steed, very
strong, mettlesOme animal, soon
began to plunge and pull. Unable
to control him otherwise, the driV-
err, in a moment Of evaporation,
struck the horse with the whip, the
result being that he very nearly
ran away. At this the child began
to cry, for she loved the animal
and could not bear to seem him
abused. "Here, take him, them
said her father, handing her the
reins. At once the horse detected
the new driver, his anger and fear
began to subside, and a few sOOth-
ing words from the girl-driVer
completed the conquest.

THE TUG o. WAR.

A Public School Team Have just Caught
the Fever.
The tug OF war goes on, year after
year, in all our larger cities and some OF
the principal towns hold regular tourna-
ments at which admission fees are
charged and prizes divided pro rata
mong the winning teams. Los Angeles
has now got the fever in her public
schools, and today ~ boys in the Sand
street school will "have it out for
keeps," as one of them told HERALD
reporter yesterday. Following is a cor
rect list OF the two contending teams:
Colors red-Claude Friel, 40; Lee
Payne, 147; Albert Rutan, ITO; Ed Gar
rett, lSO; Victor Hugo, 122; Paul
Brown, 130.
Colors blue Roy Brousseau, 1879;
Cliff Fox, $50; Lew Merritt, 10; Ed
Howard, 1873; Harry Fraser, 1922;
George Houser, 14O.
Although the boys in red have so
pounds the best OF the weights, yetthat
is not always positive advantage. A
Swedish team in Portland, Ore, two
years ago, got away with a team which
outweighed them So pounds, there being
10 men on each side These Swedes
were all loggers who worked in the
Columbia river pineries, and their
activity more than Offset the dead
weight of their opponents. There is
also knack in knowing how and when
to rush" tired team and, by carrying
two or three men off their feet, walk
away with the entire proceeds of the

punishment for the intimidation or de-
frauding of electors, with amendment
making it felony instead of misde-
meanor; also the house bill relative to
the reassessment and collection of rail-
road taxes invalid for any reason since
1882; also the 'scalper" bill of last ses-
sion, with an amendment making it
applicable only TO lines within the
state.
The assembly committee on corpora
tions met and had a general discussion
of the Shanahan and Schlesinger rail-
road resolutions, and the Bretz INCUR
ance bill, but took no action. 1t was
decided that the traffic association bill,
presented by Godchaux, turning over to
the Legislature the power to fix railroad
rates, should be taken up for discussion
immediately after being printed.

DIsBURsING GOLD.

The Bank of France Rsverses It's Policy
of the Past Ten Years.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The director
of the mint has received a cablegram
from Paris stating the Bank of France
is disbursing gold heavily for the reason
the lawful note issue limit has been
reached, and also because of the
recent large withdrawal of notes
by banks and others for the
purpose of increasing reserves. 1t
is believed at the treasury department
that large disbursements of gold by the
Bank OF France, which is directly con-
trary to the policy it has pursued the
past 10 years, will have the effect of sem
sibly reducing the export OF gold from
the United States. The Bank OF France,
it is stated, has $500, 900, 600 gold in its
vaults, the accumulation of years.

THE FIRE CHIEF.
The Contest Said to BE Between MOI
Arty and Curran.

The Contest Said to Be Between Mori-
arty and Curran.
There yet remains one important posi-
tion to be filed by the commissioners
elected under the new administration
of the city government-chief of the fire
department. The fire commissioners
have decided to ballot for chief of that
department on Wednesday next. It is
useless for any one to prophecy what
the result will be, for no one knows and
no one can foretell. .s,r. ...
There have been numerous rumors
afloat to the effect that q deal had been
perfected whereby Michael Curran was
to be elected chief. but this story is, en-
phatically denied by some prominent
leaders who are in a position to know
what they are talking about.
The Truth of the matter is that great
many people are very much. dissatisfied
with the manner in which Ideals" have
been made whereby commissions have
been put up in the interest of this or
that man for the purpose OF retaining
certain individuals in fat places. ~
The friends of Dan Moriarty are urg-
ing his claims for chief of the fire de-
pertinent very strongly. There is no
question about Mr.. Moriarty's compe-
tency to fill the position. He has been
chief OF the department before and he
certainly advanced it's efficiency. He
has been assistant chief under the
present administration aud became
crippled tor life in the service. His
physical disability, however, does not
interfere with his ability 10 fully and
faithfully discharge the duties of chief.
AS to Mr.. Moriarty's Democracy it is
unnecessary to speak. That is too we'll
known.
The only other candidate who is
prominently mentioned is Mike Curran.
Mr.. Curran's friends are pushing him.
The fight is really between Moriarty
and Curran. The vote of the commits
sion on the first ballot will be: Moriarty.
Q; Curran, l; Moore, 2. Chief Moore
stated yesterday that he was still in the
fight. He said that he could see no
reason why the rule applied in the re-
tention of the head of the police depart
ment should not also be applicable to
the fire department.. Nevertheless it
will not be applied. One 'deap of that
kind is about ell the people are ready to
stand.

HIS HORRIBLE DEATH.
AN EAST LOS ANGELES MAN DIES
FROM THE CHAMBERS.
He Caught the Terrible Disease from
Horses Belonging to the City and
Was Thought to Have
Pneumonia

After suffering intense agony for 72
hours Irene La Gier died at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon at 116 Griffin ave-
nue., East Los Angeles. La Gier died of
the glanders, and his death has caused
quite stir in local medical circles.
The unfortunate man had been in the
employ of the police department for
some three or four years. About eight
days ago he was confined to his bed by
an attack of la grippe. Three days ago
DR.. E. S. Carlisle was called in and pro-
nounced the disease pneumonia. That
same day spots appeared upon La Gier's
head which were very unusual, but
nothing was thought of them at first,
as it was supposed that they would dis.
appear.
But within "a hours thereafter the
physician became alarmed. The spots
upon La Gier's head had developed into
numerous ulcers, and on Wednesday an
eruption appeared all over the patients
body similar to the spots that had first
come out on the head.
DIR. Carlisle Immediately called in
some consulting physicians and dag
nose of La Gier's case clearly demon
strated that it was not pneumonia he
was suffering from. Inquiry developed
| the fact that two horses in the employ
of the city were near and an examine
tion of them disclosed the startling fact
that they had the glanders.
Health Officer MacGowan was i'm
! mediately notified and he proceeded to
East Los Angeles, and while diagnosing
La Gier's case the patient died. He had
the CHAMBERS.
DR.. Oliver, veterinary surgeon, was
called in at once and both OF the horses
were killed. The furniture, bedclothes.
| etc., in the room where La Gier had
been lying for eight days suffering, was
destroyed also.
| 1t Is altogether probable that other
horses in the employ Of the city are also
infected. An examination should at
once be made and the animals killed.
The disease of the glanders is altogether
too dangerously contagious to trlfe
with any cases of that kind.
There is livery stable in East Los
Angeles directly adjoining the place
where these two diseased horses are
| kept and there are Undoubtedly animals
there that are infected.
In many instances glandeYs will break
cut among the horses of poor mar, who
can i'll afford to have his stock confis-
Gated. He hides the fact that his horses
are diseased from the proper officials,
and the reeulb is that the disease
spreads. This would all be avoided if a
state law was enacted which would pro-
vide payment for all diseased stock that
| is killed by the proper officers TO pre-
| vent the spread OF contagion. a..

KANSAS POPUL|STS DEPRESSED,
Republicans Getting the Upper
Hand of Them.
Democrats Take Hand in Organic
ing the House.
They Vote with the Republicans aud
Break the Deadlock, but the
Governor and Senate
Stand Firm.

| BY the Associated Press.
| Topeka, Kan, Jan. 12.-The confer
ence committees of the two houses were
unable to reach an agreement as to a
settlement last night. The Populists
want to throw out three Republican
postmasters elected and substitute Pop
ulists. This would give the Populists q
clear majority, and OF course the Repub-
licans would not give in, so the confer
ence adjourned.
Other conferences were held this
morning, but without result, and both
houses met at the appointed time.
Neither attempted to do any business.
Mrs. Lease was present and encouraged
the Populists to stand firm.
During the roll call by the Republi-
can house this afternoon the three
Democratic members announced that
they had held aloof as long as proper
for them to do 60, but now, believing
the Republican house the only properly
organized one, they would recognize it
as such. The announcement was re-
ceived with a wild demonstration by the
Republicans. The Populists were very
much depressed.
The addition OF the three Democrats
to the Republican membership gives
the Republicans IS members, a maiori-
ty of five, composed of 81 Republicans,
one Independent (Wilson) and three
Democrats.
The excitement caused by the action
of the Democrats soon su ubsided, and the
monotony of waiting for further devel-
opments was resumed. The plan that
the senate recognize the Populist house
by q resolution, and the governor in a
message of recognition, miscarried. the
senate adjourning without taking action.
The governor did not hear of this, how
ever, until his message had started out.
The Populiets in the houee cheered
loudly when it was received, while it's
reading was received with cat-calls from
the Republican side.
Some minor resolutions were then
offered on the Republican side, and the
roll call ordered on them showed that 81
members answered to their names.
Shortly after the reading of the COVER
nor's message both houses adjourned
until tomorrow.
1.-The Republicans, in caucus, decided
to assemble as usual in the morning and
await developments. The senate has
decided to recognize the Populist house
in the morning.
Mandamus proceedings against Secre-
tary OF State Osborne began this even
ing in the supreme court to compel him
to hand over to Speaker Dougles of the
Republican house a certified copy of
the roll of members elected to the house,
on file in his office. The court will take
up the matter in the morning.

BURKE FOUND GUILTY.

=
W r. Night. .G5,
One of those curious phases of the jury
system was shown once more yesterday
in the trial of Jack Burke. who was
charged with burglary. 5 @s1 N@
Burke had been in the city 20 days on
the night of October 18th last, when he
was arrested, charged with the burglary
of the grocery store of Mrs. s. Wencker
on East First street, near Los Angeles
street. He was informed against by F.
Oscar Innes, who said he saw Burke
going into the store, that he had pro-
posed to him before to do so, and when
Burke was arrested. just alter he came
out of the store, Officer Home found a
hatchet on his person which Innes had
before said Burke had. He was taken
to Jail, and yesterday his trial occurred.
The facts were brought out as outlined,
slight sensation being occasioned dur
ing the testimony given by Innes about
the propositions made to him by Burke.
As he was narratiDg these circumstances
Burke jumped to his feet and called In
mes liar with embellishments.
| The case was very clearly made out
against the defendant, it being conceded
in the court room on all sides that there
would not be much delay in finding him
guilty.
He went on the stand himself and his
principal testimony was TRADE against
the officers.
He had one witness by whom he Mt
tempted to prove an alibi, but the near
est the witness, O soloon man named
Dick Woods, would go, was to say that
he saw Burke the evening Of the bur-
glary, but could not swear that he was
around the saloon at the time of the
burglary.
The jury went out at 4:30 O'Clock and
at 8 O'Clock laet night found the defend
ant guilty as charged.
