1t is too bad to keep on exposing the
Ericsson to the terrific dangers that beset
New London harbor. The proper place
for this crockery ship is OH Lakes pond or
Gardeners lake; and even there she
shouldn't be let out to play, except in the
midst of Indian summer days. Actually
the poor boat can't hang together long
enough to make a trial trip. Yet she is a

sort of holy terror of the high seas. Per

A Child's Question

Ex Congressman la Toilette tells
the following good story ON himself
in connection with his defeat for
re. election when the Democratic
udal wave rolled over Wisconsin
in 1890:
"You will reeoIIect, Of course that
was beaten for reelection in 1890
by about 1000 votes, though had
5000 majority two years before.
Well there was nothing to do but
accept the situation and return to
my law practice. My little daughter
was then about years old, aud she
was considerably interested Ia the
talk of the family, the more because
she had not liked living in Wash
lugton, when a poor man has to live
IN "A boarding house in order to make
ends meet There she was oooped
up in small quarters, aud she longed
for the family residence in Madison
aud her nice playground She was
naturally elated at the thought that
she would not have to iivein Wash
lngton any more, and yet she was
old enough to discover thas the mat
ter had its serious side. What that
serious side was she could not dis
cover but il appeared that she had
been trying to solve the question,
as one morning she broke in upon
her mother with the abrupt question:
"Say, mamma, does papa have to be
elected to practice law"

1t was TO be expected that the
first tea meeting held in tho magnif-

keeping with the edifce, and excel
any Of the 40 gatherings Of like
character that had preceded it in

nobody was disappointed. The
meeting was the greatest Of the
many great ones in the history Of
the church. About 500 people par
took Of the rich spread prepared
with unusual care and profusion.
AS a result over 800 dollars was

Invalids who visit beautiful Rsdondo
Beach steadily gain strength in the brac-
ing air OF that fRvorite resort. The Re
dondo hotel is without doubt one Of the
finest appointed hostelries in the coun-
try. Every comfort of home is pro-
vided, and every one takes a pride in
doing what they can to make ones stay
most pleasant. 1t is homelike, and free
from the constraints and formalities too
often found in such institutions. One
goes and comes as he pleases, and all feel
at home; and the able manager, Mr..
Lynch, and his popular assistants, by
the manner in which they welcome the
coming and speed the parting guest add
greatly to the popularity of this we'll
known hotel. Tourists in this section
should not fail to visit this fine hotel; it
is one of Southern California's elegant
structures we feel very proud of.

FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.

A. j. Kelly Charged with Appropriating e
Another's Money.
A. ]. Kelly was arrested by Constable
Richardson and Deputy Sheriff Bletcher
yesterday afternoon on a warrant charg-
ing him with embezzlement. The COM
plant was sworn to by representative
of the Southern California Amusement
company, proprietors OF the Burbank
theater.
The officers have been on the lookout
for Kelly for several days. He is said to
have collected $500 or $400. out of which
he was to get percentage OF 800. He
is charged with approprlating the whole
amount. The amount was collections
for advertisements on the drop-curLain
at the theater.
He was captured in a peculiar way.
Constable Richardson visited the room
of lady friend of his on South Main
street. No trace Of him was got there,
80 the officer went down. On looking
up he saw a ball of paper fly to the lady's
window from an adjoining room. He
thought at once that Kelly was there
and was trying to attract the lady's at
tention, 30 he went to the room whence
he thought the paper came. He burst
open the door and found his man. He
was locked in the county jail.

THEY READ THE RIOTACT
CONTRACTORS ON THE HILL
STREET SEWER TO REPORT.
Carelessness Of Inspectors Rsbuked by
City Engineer DOckwsilsr As
Result of Omitting
Daily Reports.

A large crimson speck of war loomed
up ominously in municipal affairs yes
terday with regard to the contract for
the Hill street sewer system.
This internal sewer district comprises
that portion OF the city lying between
Seventh and Warrington streets and
running from Grand avenue to Main
street, and will require an outlay OF
$50 900 on the part of the property own
ers. Work was started on the brick
sewer on Grand avenue some days ago,
and two sections OF the work opened.
Street superintendent Watson appointed
Tom Weiss as general inspector TO re-
ceive or reject the material furnished
for use in the construction OF the sewer,
and Jay Hyland and Dan Lynch as sub
inspectors ON the work.
Under the specifications drawn up by
City Engineer Dockweiler in consulta-
ton with Street Superintendent Watson
the contractor through the inspectors
was required to furnish daily reports to
the city engineer and the street super
intendent OF the amount OF material
used, every barrel of Portland cement
expended and precisely in what pro-
portions the cement was mixed.
This the inspectors have not done and
yesterday City Engineer Dockweiler and
Street Superintendent Watson went out
over the work and rounded up the con-
tractor, I. W. Young, and read the riot
act to them. They were given to under
stand that no loose methods OF reporting
on the work would be tolerated. but
that the inspectors would have to watch
every barrel OF cement used in the work
and turn into the city engineer every
evening a full and detailed statement OF
the came. as was the case with the work
of inspection in the outfall sewer. The
contractors and inspectors agreed to
comply fully with the specifications, and
noW the property owners who will pay
for the sewer improvements in this dis-
trict breathe easier.

POLICE COURT CASES.

Some of Those who Got Into the Tolls
Yesterday.
Charles Hess was fined 500 or 20 days
on a charge of battery, by Judge Sea-
man yesterday. Hess was convicted OF
beating his wife.
The case of @. A. Hanscom, on q
charge of indecent exposure. was dis
missed. The man languished in Jail two
weeks before he could get final hear
ing, and taking into consideration the
fact that the lady who swore to the com.
plant was utterly too nice for this world,
there WAS but little cause for complaint.
William E. Pile was fined So for dis.
turbing the peace. Frank Tosl was
fined $40 or 10 days for a similar offense.
John Wilson WAS given Is days fol-
vsgrancy and John Wilson five days.
