PARK COMMISSION.

Matters to Como Before tho Adjourned
Meeting Today.
There was not quorum OF the park
commissioners present yesterday at the
regular time and place, and consq uent-
y the meeting was adjourned until this
morning.
Among other matters which will come
before the meeting today will be action
on the report of the committee which
has been investigating immortality in the
public parks. The committee was APP
pointed several weeks ago, shortly after
complaint was made in regard to lewd,
immoral conduct in the East Side park.
The committee did not arouse to action,
as il were, until last week. when Wig
orous complaint was made in regard
to tho same sort OF thing in Westlake
park.
1t is probable that one remedy, which
has already been suggested, will be
adopted by ordering more electric lights,
80 that the dark corners where immor-
slity is apt to Turk may bs illuminated.

reduced it from So 1-5 seconds to 81 3-5.

Otto Zeiglsr of the San Jose Wheel-

seconds, but thought he was not going

A Grateful TRAMP.

no counsel and being without funds and a
total stranger, the court assigned his de

tramp was as guilty as man ever was,
but as the attorney was young in prac-

his wire edges against the district attor-

Observer.
Nothing daunted, the young attorney
rose before the jury to sum up the case.
Providence had endowed him with a
tongue capable Of almost anything. He
had his address on his tongues edge, and
the manner in which he reeled it off es-
tablished his name in the community in
characters as ineffaceable as the rock-ribs
on old Gibraltar. He held the twelve
men tried and true spellbound. They
gazed at him in open-mouthed wonder.

SMITHS INDUSTRIALs.
The Railway People Determined Not
to Let Them Ride.

Deputy Marshal Bowman Cannon re-
turned yesterday morning from Thistle
where he and five other deputy mar
shals have been keeping watch over
the Smith industrial army. Mr.. Can
non reports that there are still about
$50 of that contingent lined along the
Rio Grande Western railroad track be-
tween Thistle and Lower Crossing. He
says the men are out of provisions and
how they are existing now is nlys-
terry to him. They are becoming des-
perate, and frequent threats of siezing
a. train are heard. General Smith
was supposed to be at Green River and
is apparently 2 good deal disheartened
at the failure of the army TO get away.
He. however, keeps his council to him
self and gives no indications Of what
his future movements will be. The
railroad people are determined not to
let the men ride and given strict or
ders to their trainmen TO that effect.
The state of Colorado has given notice
to the Rio Grande Western Railway
company that the latter will be held
liable to a fine of 5000 each for every
one Of the industrials landed in that
state They are therefore very careful
not to allow the men to board their
trains.
Mr.. Cannon returned to Thistle last
evening.

The Cut Rate for Teachers to
Chicago.
1t is IN EFFECT TODAY.
ONE FARE FOR THE TRIP BY BOTH
LINES.
The Railway People Are Determined
Ride Free-The State of Colorado
Gives Notice to the Rio Grande
Western-Notes.

The Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago stating that the Rio Grande
Western had been charged with cutting
rates to Chicago created much comment
in local railway circles yesterday.
1.-THE whole trouble" said railroad
man. speaking fer the Western to a
Herald reporter, ''arose from the fact
that today we put in a rate for school
teachers of one fare for the round trip
to Chicago and return. The Union
Pacific doubtless appealed to the lines
of the Western Passenger association
to boycott the Western, but the rate
goes in just the same. The Western is
fully justified in what it has done
1t is we'll known that there has been
some hard skirnlishing of late for this
particular business, and several of the
eastern lines have had representative
here looking after their interests. Some
time ago, both the Union Pacific and
Western decided to put in round trip
rate for the teachers, but as tse Union
Pacific's connections declined to APP
prove of it, that road withdrew from
the arrangement. 1t was announced
last night, however, that those lines
had consented to the rate in order to
permit the Union Pacific to compete
with the Western and the rate is Ia
effect today over both of them. Tickets
are sold to Missouri river points and
return at $40 and to Chicago and re-
turn at $3.50, good for return until
September Is. The Union Pacific sells
over all its connecting lines between the
Missouri river and Chicago, and the
exodus of teachers will begin TO night.
The little fight has caused considerable
friction in railway circles, but as usual,
the public reaps the benefit, and the
teachers will be given choice of routes.

the full resumption of operations is not
until Monday morning. The men now en-
gagged upon the work are putting things

which is to commence on the first of the
week will not be hampered but may get
right down to actual business. The en-
tire northern end of the system is being
cleaned up and brick-laying can be prose-
cuted from the start.
Fifteen cars of cement have already ar
rived from the west and are being I'M

SUICIDE IN THE GERMAN ARMY.

The Militar- Wochenblatt gives some
statistics as to the number Of cases Of
suicide in the German army. The
most important fact which they record
is that during the last year fewer cases
of suicide were recorded in the Prus-
sian army than in any year since 1878.
The report lays stress on the fact that
suicides in general are of much more
freuent occurrence in countries with a
Ge1manic than in those with Slav
or Romantic population. In Germany,
which stands first on the list, there is
a yearly average of 2.71 suicides TO
every 10000 of the population, while
in France, Austria, Englang and Italy
the avera ages are 1.S7, 1.63, 0.76 and 0.46
respectively. AS regards suicides in
the army. Austria comes first with
253 to every 10000 men, followed by
Germany with 6.33 Italy with 4, France
with 1888 and England with 2.09. These
figures are unfortunately not quite
complete or up to date, some of the
statistics failing for Bavaria, SaXony
and Wurtemberg. Equally incomplete
are the results of the investigations as
to the causes of suicide in the army,
it having been found impracticable to
discover the reasons in one-third OF the
instances. As far as known the fear
of punishment for misconduct plays the
chief part in driving soldiers to self de-
struction: and it is worthy of notice
that twice as many noncommissioned
officers as privates fall by their own
hand in the course of a year.-NeW
York Commercial Advertiser

Not necessarily SO, for general pur-
poses Perfection of form is probably
the last thought in hiring a model for
school purposes. How does she pose is
probably the first A well proportfoned
nude with adaptability and the ability
to assume a. posture gracefully are the
main qualities to be considered. The

for it illustrates how much the stand

told of certain nude in Philadelphia

society woman, who was compelled to
go abroad before the completion of
her portrait The dress was yet to be
