WOMEN are now demanding that bachelors shall be made as distinct from married men as maids are distinct from married women. If maid is to be called Miss a bachelor must be known as Master. This is reasonable enough. Most people are aware that man ceases to be master when he marries.

He Pleads tho Statute of Limitations,
But the Csss VIII Be- Tried.
The case of w. L. Price VS.. Geo. w.
Campbell. the councilman from Boyle
Heights, came up for hearing before
Judge York in department three OF the
superior court yesterday. upon q motion
of plaintiff to dismiss the appeal.
This ia the case in which Statesman
Campbell purchased q half barrel Of
whisky from the California Wine com-
pany, and sold the same. it is alleged,
as retail in his drug store on Boyle
Heights. After repeatedly asking for
more time in which to settle the bill, he
now comes in and makes a special plea
OF the statute OF limitations. The case
was recently tried before Justice Austin,
and judgment went against him, where
upon he appealed to the superior court.
Mr.. Campbell is at present member
of the city council, and as such he seeks
to crush out opposition by opposing the
opening Of saloons on Boyle Heights,
and claims that his constituents do not
favor saloons. In the meantime, it 10
claimed, he Dispenser more liquor at his
drugstore than any other suburban
saloon in the city. Now that Mr.. Cam D.
bell has been nominated by the Repub-
licans for coroner it will be intorestn &
for the voters to note that he lie endeay-
oring to avoid payment of his bills by
pleading the statute of limitations.
Judge York denied plaintiffs motion to
dismiss the case and set the case for
trial in his department for October 18th.

THE WEEK OF PRAYER.

Tho Last Meeting Held Yesterday by
tho Y. w. @. a.
The lsst meeting OF the week OF
prayer wss largely attended yesterday at
the Y. W. @. A. rooms. Mrs. J. M. G.
Marble was in charge of the service.
The opening music was. Pass Me Not,
o Gentle Saviour. Mrs. Marble read in
Mark, 4th chapter, from the 14th to the
18th verses. Prayers were offered by
Mrs. Marble and Mr.. @. s. Mason OF the
Pacific Gospel union.
The TOPICS for the day we're: The
Worlds Y. W. @. A., by Miss Morse,
and The Los Angeles Y. w. O. A., by
Rev. Burt Estes Howard.
Mics Morse made most comprehen-
sive statement of the work in the broad
sense that the title indicates. From a
band of girls in an Illinois college who
were longing to do more efficient work
for the Master than had yet been con-
ceived, and who hardly knew what
wide-reaching, and is yet only in the
infancy OF its usefulness.
"From the college prayer meeting II
the Young Mems Christian association,
until now there is an international or
ganization which includes the United
States, Canada, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. There are associations in
many other countries of the world, and
in London has just been installed the
first worlds Y. w. @. A. secretary"
Miss Morse read letter from India
stating the case very earnestly. In
Madras, perhaps, the most important
need just now is felt of strong worker.
Might it not be that God would choose
some one from Los Angeles to fill it?
The closing thought of the address
was that ''our thought, our prayer and
our endeavor will reach to the utter
most parts of the EARTH"
Mr.. Howard then spoke OF the work
to be done by the Y. w. O. A. in Los
Angeles. He said: "What can the Y i.
w. @. A. do for Los Angeles? We are
living in strong times when there is 60
ing on mighty conflict between righte-
ousness and the forces of Satan which
are gathered together to overthrow holi-
ness, truth and Christianity. The Y.
W. O. A. might be perfectly equipped as
regards means; might have beautiful
rooms, useful classes, Q successful out
look in all its branches, but if it lacked
the 'one thing needful' it could not do
for Los Angeles the good intended. 1t
must have the spirit OF God dominating
its every impulse and then it might
hope to succeed in the great conflict"
In closing, he said: ''There is great
work in Los Angeles for the Y. W. G. A.
l am anxious that it nhall be a burning
light for Jesus Christ. That the work
ers can come to it for strength and from
it go out into the world for SERVICE"
Miss Morse said that some had doubted
the wisdom of the noon hour for these
services at first, but the result had been
moet gratifying, and many new friends
were the consequence Of the work of the
week. She hoped many more would
join and become useful members.
Pass II On was sung in closing.

YOUTHFUL TRAMPS.

A Los Angeles Youngster Held In
Oakland.
The father OF Charles Cunningham
may possibly be wondering where his
wandering boy is at, and it might be
news to him to know that the young
man is in Oakland.
1t was last Monday that young Charles
Cunningham of this city and young Roy
Whittier of San Diego were arrested in
West Berkeley for vagrancy and taken
to the Oakland Jail. They are IA years
old. A Berkeley constable found them
wandering around the town.
Taken before an Oakland police Judge
they said that they had started out to
see the world. Whittier started out
first and made his way from San Diego
to San Franeisco. Then he worked
back as far as Los Angeles. ran across
Young Cunningham, they amalgamated
and left for the north sgain aboard a
brakebeam.
Young Cunningham stated to the
Judge that his mother is dead and his
father has no idea of his whereabouts.
He had never been in jail before, he
eaid. and had never before been outside
of Los Angelica.
The Oakland authorities are holding
the youthful tramps for some one to call
for them.

scriptures. The culture of the heart is
superior to the culture of the mind.
The client influences, the culture of
the heart, the inspiration of the sur
roundings that make strong men are
more abundant in the atmosphere OF the
Christian schools. The UNCONVENTIONAL
schools are favorable for the cultivation
of the intellect.
The churches can establish and main
tain institutions that will develop inde-
pendent, profound thinkers. A great
institution is possible. The Methodist
university at West Los Angeles needs
students and support which the speaker
said he believed the people of California
would furnish. DIR. Phillips is a stranger
to many OF the members of the confer
ence, but they certainly ielt that the
new dean has strength and ability to
conduct the educational interests OF the
conference. He has noble purpose to
make the school one of the best in the
denomination.
Dean Randall, OF Cbaffey college,
made the next address. He is very sue.
cessful and popular in his very impor-
tsnt position. Chaffey 10 loyal to the
university. 1t seEds great many stu
dents to the university. He thonght it
was necessary to have the annex OF

Tor training students for college. If you
doubt it SEX our students. Fourteen
professors, enthusiastic in their work,
are making their impress upon the
students committed to their care. Dean
Randall pleaded we'll for his college.
The school is in good hands and justly
merits the patronage OF the public.
DR.. j. P. Widney. the president Of the
university, was introduced. He compli-
mented the work of the schools at West
Los Angeles. They have cost great
deal, and they still stand after the panic
has borne down mercantile, banking and
other institutions.
The equipment for the year has not
been surpassed in the history of the in
stitution. The faculty need the co-op-

a Worm Controlled by the Moon.

Samoa, Wit, New Zealand and the
Gilbert islands are the natural habi-
tat of a vermicular oddity in the
shape of n worm whose every action
is controlled by the phases of the
moon! BY the islanders it is called
palolo II mbalolo, a Fijian name
having reference TO the coincidence
of its movements with the moon.
These moon eyed creatures of the
lower order only make their appear
ance at spawning time, usually on
the very day OF the last change of
the moon in October, but only when
that change is a last quarter. Should
this change not occur during the last
days of the tenth month, and fall at
the beginning of November. then an
other lunar month will intervene be
fore they come from their hiding
places.
Rev. Mr.. Powell, a resident mis-
sionary, says that Il series of observa-
tions extending over a number of
years has established a connection
between the moons phases and this
creature beyond question. Palolo
was first scientifically described by
DIR. j. III. Mcdonald in 1S51.-St.

only kind hat makes its way through

may have brilliancy and imagination,

of a little noSed man commanding an

are not given to little noses, and only
big noses can fill them. A little nose

stagnation of Educational Methods,

Tradition ~consecrateS, legislation
Celebrates, the large vested interests
of school supplies tie down, politics
entanglcs, and sometimes endow-
ment iSolates. So that il is not
strange that reforms are very rare
hard, slow and often prove in the
end far more superficial than was
thought. Wars and revolutions that
overturn states and reconstruct soci-
ETY. often leave education unchanged
in method and matter. Save in Japan,
educational history records no com
plete reconstruction.
Finishing" courses have left the
worlds great questions closed instead
of open by in%oculating against deep

Lincoln, Reflection, on Niagara.

But still there is more. 1t calls up
the indefinite past. When Columbus
first sought this continent, when
Christ suffered on the cross, when
Moses led Israel through the Red sea
nay, ven when Adam first came
from the hand of his Maker-then. as
now, Niagara was roaring here. The
eyes of that species of extinct giants
whose bones fill the mounds of Amer
lea have gazcd on Niagara as ours do
now. Contemporary with the first
race of men and older than the first
man, Niagara is strong and fresh to-
day as 10, 600 years ago. The man.
moth and mastodon, so Ion, dead
that fragments of their monstrous
bones alone testify that they ever
lived, have gazed on Niagara-in that
long, long time never still for a sin
