THE ROMANTIC PASSION
Brought a One-Legged Man
5000 Miles
1T SINGES AND SEARS
But He Would Return Once More to
the Flame
A True Story Of q Wildly Passionate Love, a
Cruel Joke and Philosophical
..I. Conclusion

John Albert Gardner is the wholesome.
whose romantic passion has brought HIM
face to face with difficulties before which
many another man, even with a normal
number of legs, would have quailed and
confessed himself beaten.
John Albert Gardner is, or was. madly
in love. The object of Johns affections
was said, some time ago, to be living IN
Los Angeles, while he was in the great
city OF New York. The 5000 miles that
sepai ated him from his lady love served
but to increase the fires that, all unmind-
full of the agony they produced, found
Judgement and fuel in Johns bosom.
There is no need to dwell upon details.
Sufficient to say that the one-legged indi-
vidual in New York city suffered as have
untold millions before him and as will
other untold millions through the COM
ing ages and down to the grand finale
and curtain. Love, with it's resistless
sway, swept everything to one sid g and
removed every obstacle. or what is al
most the same thing. blinded him to the
presence of any, and then bade him go
to the girl that possessed his soul, seek
her out in her far away home. and
through life hold her in his arms, heart
to heart, lip to lip. and with closed eyes
drink in her warm fragrant breath until
tho senses reeled and ecstasy and de.
lirium supervened. And this John de-
termined to do.
He had but cents to his name, a
nickel and three copper pennies. but with
this provision to meet expenses he started
out on his 5000 mile jaunt in quest of his
sweetheart. In the course of time he ar
rived in this city only to be told that the
object of his devotion had a short time
previously left Los Angeles, had gone
EAST and wes comfortably settled in city
about midway across the continent, and
through which he had passed while on
his weary sGumping tour to the City of
the Angels. Arrived here and learning
the story just narrated, bitterly disap-
pointed in his purpose of making the an
ticipated meeting surprise. or, indeed
of having the meeting materiaize at all,
John Albert Gardner set about writing
letters. hoping that soon he might re-
ceive the missive that should guide his
faithful heart and willing crutches more
accurately in her direction. Instead of
this, however, he in time received letter
from gentleman stating that the lady

ALL THE LADIES VOTED
AT the Friday Morning Club Rooms
Yesterday
At the Annual Election of Officers Reports
We're Read and Adjournment Made
for the Summer

1t was election day Yesterday at the
Friday Morning club, the annual election
of officers, and large number of the
mem bers armed with their ballots, we're
present to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to vote.
Not that they are all woman suffrag-
lists. Indeed. no! Perish the thought! |!
But every member has deep and abid-
ing interest in the club, and Its smallest
interest is theirs. Every thing was con-
Quoted strictly according to Hoyle, or
Blackstone, or whoever the authority on
elections is. There was no attempt to
vote early and often or in different wards.
Each lady as her name was called from
the roll walked up and deposited her lit
tie ballot. all nicely filled out and signed.
The ballot box was tenderly cared for by
the proper authorities, and in due time
the result will be made known to the
waiting world.
Besides the important election, Mrs. J.
A. Osgood, the retiring president, retir-
ing even though she be reelected, made
a few remarks In her usual happy man

vacation. 1t was discovered among
other interesting and hopeful things in
the reports, that the club had entertained
622 registered visitors, besides many who
were not registered and were therefore
not computabe as to numbers. Owing
to the enthusiasm of many mem beIs who
regret the long vacation it was decided
to hold quite informal meetings each Fri
day morning during the summer, when
topics of general interest may be dis

mony without the slightest EN- barrass-
ment and apparently rather with relish
than otherwise. 1t was not until the day
before the shooting, she said, that Jones
had found fault with her for going out
with Errringto ton and the Bacon woman.
At one time during her narrative Mrs
Jones was prettily overcome by her
emotions and shed one tear out Of her
right eye.
The examination, at the conclusion of
Mrs. Jones' "reminiscences, was continued
until this morning at 10 O'Clock.

PROFESSOR GEO. DAVIDSON
Senator White Protests Against His
Removal
Professor Davidson Of the Coast and GcOdetc
Surveys, 1t Is Announced, Has
Been Removed

Senator White has on several occasions
written to the department urging the
retention of Professor Davidson. When
the general appropriation bills were
under consideration in the senate
through the efforts of Senators White
and Perkins the appropriation contained
in the house bill was increased for the
avowed purpose of retaining Professor
Davidson. Not only did the California
senators advocate his retention, but Sen
ator Allison and others who were aware
of Davidson's qualifications urged the in
crease of the approximation, that there
might be no doubt of the continuance
of his efforts in government employment.
There was but little opposition to the in
crease. 1t was understood that General
Dufficld, the head of the coast and
geodetic survey department. for some
reason did not appreciate Davidson.
Duflield is Kentuckian. Senator Lind
say of Kentucky and McLaurin of Mssis-
sippi seemed to be Dutlield's s only cham
pons. Some pretty hard things were said
by the California senators regarding
Duhield. The increased appropriation
passed and il was supposed Davidson
in view the criticisms which had been
made, seems to have got in his work.
Yesterday Senators Perkins and White
sent joint telegram to the president as
follows:
Press dispatches state that Professor
George Davidson is removed from coast
and geodetic survey. When Appropriation
bills we're before the senate the amount
suggested by house was increased SO that
Davidson might be safe. All interested
in commercial and maritime matters on
this coast urge his retention. His ex-
liarly fit him for this work, in which he
has earned worldwide reputation. His
renewal will be most popular, especially
in business and scientific circles.
