UNIVERSITY LANDS.

Mr.. Speaker-Your committee, ap-
/ pointed 10 confer Will luc COIulIllSSIOIl-
ers on University lands in relation to
reports, ETC., respectfully represent that
said commissioners report that there
have been 24,631.51 acres of land sur
veyed and sold at rates varying from
$3S7 to $3.50 per acre. The total value
of sales amounts to S103, OSLO. The I'M
sold lands amounting to 4,77271 acres
appraised at $16.60310. Unsurveyed
lands, 16, 1851 acres. Cash realized on
sales with interest paid in advance
$40, 07S.95. AS the purchasers of Uni
versity lands have nine years in which
to pay the purchase price and annual
payments together with interest paid
being deposited to increase the capital
until the nine years expire, the interest
upon principal and interest is the only
money avilable pending the final pur-
chase price being paid up, hence for a
few years to come the revenue to be
derived from these lands will not ma

The Blood CurdIinG Experience of n
Girl in u Boston suburb.

Girl in Boston suburb.
Not long ago a, young lady was lying
half awake in bed in. an old house in
one of Boston's suburbs. Suddenly she
became wholly awake with the conscious
ness that mouse was running over her
chest. She had presence of mind enough
not to move, reasoning that the mouse
would presently run away without HARM
ing her. But instead of running away
the little creature crept into her neck
and there nestled comfortably down, his
back curled against the lower part of her
cheek, which lay on the pillow. The lady S
blood was simply frozen with horror but
she did not dare to move fearing that the
mouse would bite her If it could. Collect
mig her wits, she finally resolved that she
would by mighty and sudden effort
jump sideway in the bed away from the
mouse, leaving him higl and dry on the
pillow and then get quietly up and out
of the bed en- the other side. She would
count three, and then Jump. She counted
one, two, three-aud then she did not
jump. The mouse nestled comfortably
closer to her neck. 1t was now or neveri
She began again and counted one two
three This time she jumped sideWise
downward, upward and every way, and
screamed beside at the top of her voice
Whatever became of the mouse could NOT
be learned by the Transcript for when all
the family came, with lamps and pokers
and other weapons, 10 her aid, no trace of
the poor little creature could be found
Perhaps he was frightened entirely OUT of
existence by the young lady'S scream

JUDGE J. w. MCKINLEY.

The tramp question is one that re-
quires attention, without doubt. Idon's
think. either, that it ia q workingman's
question, for while some bona fide work
ingmen may gravltate into the ranks Of
the professional tramps, they are, be-
lieve, very few. Each winter the influx
of tramps is becoming larger, and how
to solve the difficulty do not exactly
know. not having given very much at-
tention to it. At the same time the
question is not an involved one. II
means, How can those who want work
be given work. and how can those who
won't work be made to work.
That's all there ia to it. 1t ID still
further simplifsd when we know that
most OF these pests of society will not
work and are not anxious to lind labor
of any kind. 1t seems to me that We
want special and uniform legislation on
the subject throughout the different
states. Meantime something must be
done. but what? confess the chain
gang has an unpleasant sound, but it is
the only practical means at the disposal
OF the authorities by which these tramps
can be made to work. II that ia done
then Los Angeles and Southern Cal
ifornia generally will not be the rendez-
| vous for these men, who are menace to
the peace of the city and state.

MR.. WILLIAM PRIDHAM.

What are my views regarding the
proposed employment OF the so-called
tramp element which comes here to
spend the winter?
First let me say that by far the larger
part OF all that is given Unfortunately
in the name Of charity 10 doing positive
harm by teaching the poor to be idle
and improvident. Therefore, from that
standpoint, hold that the employment
of these men ia q two-fold blessing.
First, 1t gives the recipient the means
of paying in labor for his food and shell
ter until circumstances permit him TO do
better, here or elsewhere, thus relieving
himself of the imputation of being q
pauper and instilling in his mind the
fundamental principle Of good citizen

The lazy and idle men who do not want
to work and will not work ii they can
avoid it; second, the we'll disposed but
WEAK men who 60 about in the easiest
way-they do not prey upon the com.
munity, neither do they want to exert
themselves. Both Of these classes
should be taught by the application OF
the work test that no one has the right,
moral or otherwise, TO live in idleness
and upon the resources OF his moro
thrifty neighbor. Then there Is third
class, which comprises those who are
really honest and willing to work, and
who are looking for it, These deserve

A RIVERSIDE OPINION.

Riverside Press: A motley crew Of
IA was gathered in front Of Santa Fs
car yesterday evening by Constable
Slosson and lodged in the 'ooolsr,"
charged with vagrancy. They were d.
.vided into two squads of seven each and
brought before Judges holland and Pot-
ter this morning. Judge Potter gave
four of his seven from five to seven days
each in the county Jail, one was given .
"floater," and two, "having the appear
ance of workmen." were allowed their
liberty. Judge holland gave all seven Of
those brought before him from Eve to
seven days each.
At the rate the unempl Dyed are COM
ing into the county. and especially into
Riverside, it 10 evident thas 1t il again
time for the proper authorities to do
something to relieve the community of
not only the presence Of this large num-
Der of idle men, but Of the great ex-
pense it is entailing upon the people.
IL is thought by some that il . stock
ade was provided wherein these men
could be kept, and o large-sized stone
pile provided upon which the men could
be employed, and when one Of these
men came along that he be given from
20 to 80 days work at breaking or quar-
rying stone. with two meals per day and
| lodging, the professional tramp would
steer wide OF Riverside. Work 10 not
what this class want. They only want
their meals and a comfortable place to
sleep. Others are of tho opinion that
they should be put to work in improv-
ing the streets; that in this way the city
could recover enough to pay for the
! money expended upon them.
The more worthy-those who are act :
ually looking for work-could be given
nights lodging aud q couple of meals
and be allowed to 60 on their search for
employment. 1t ia an easy matter to
distinguish between the two classes.
! The man who refuses TO work should
be given one meal per day OF bread and
water, until his term OF imprisonment il
ended or until such time as he 10 found
willing to work. There should be some
treatment of the vagabond class thai
will act as an inducement for them mol
to come this way. Individuals should
not feed them. and the city should NOT
do 80 long without some return.

IF the plan OF Supplying work for the

include other cities, or the nation, IL
would simplify the matter greatly also.
Il 10 not just for one city TO bear the
entire burden. and confess that the
plan now proposed, Of giving work in
the parks, has that drawback. Naturally
il viii attract men from lar and wide.
When they hear that Los Angeles has .
plan for taking care of the unemploy cd,
they will flock here. Yet, to have q
plan that will separate the men who
will work from those who will not, IL to
my mind, the solution OF what you call

I'VE found it 10 in San Francisco. I
have seen men there standing in line
for . chance to work for 81 day.
That 10 what We paid. A man who
will do that 10 an honest laborer. He

with the fellows who go about the couu-
try AMI prey upon their fellow men. OF
course, in Q broad sense, have SYM
pathy for them too, but tho honest La
borsr should not be made to suffer for
their Gins.
II really think that the plan OF provid-
ing for the unemployed by allowing
them to work furnishes the test OF the
honest laborer and the tramp.
