Fin de- Steele Clubs.

One Of the queerest clubs in the
world is the 'Lazy Club" of Vienna
1t is said to have membership oil
100, and there are thousands wait
ing for admission. No member OF
this organization can do anything
for living, and the slightest sus-
picion of work that rests on a mem
Der is equal to expulsion.
There is a curious society in
London called the Grabbed Club. "
1t is made up of men who have
met with a great disappointment in
life, and the club meets once a
month.
At these times the members are
not allowed to tell their hard-luck
stories, but, on the contrary, form a
merry company, and endeavor for
that time to forget their woes.
The list of eccentric clubs was
swelled last year by the addition
of the "Don't-Take. Off Your Hat
Club" of Wehlan, Germany. The
members, who fear catching cold,
are absorbed from the obligation of
raising the hat in the street in the
winter months under the penalty
of a severe fine.
In Philadelphia there is an
" Anti : Baby Kissing Society,""
where the hygienic crusade
against kissing is pushed. The
same city boasts of an "Anti-
Cigarette Club" formed by young
women who bind themselves to
have nothing whatever to do with
any young man who smokes cigar
cites.
A new feature in clubs is record
ed in New York. 1t is the "Dys-
peptic Club" and the test of eligi-
bility for membership is a doctors
certificate that the applicant is suf-
fering from a weak stomach.
The object of this organization is
to promote cheerfulness among dys-
peptics, and to furnish to the mem
bers the latest results of science in
treating indigestion. The presi-
dent of the Dyspeptic Club is said
to have a remedy that has never
failed to help sufferers, but none
but club members know what it is.

NTALLUXURP AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrOssing care Is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly a fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things

THE SERVICES YESTERDAY
In the Chapel at the University of
Southern California
The Rev. q. w. White. Prc5ideat Of the
Board Of Trustees, Speaks to the Stu.
dents OF the College au1 Its AimS

The University of Southern California
opened Its session yesterday morning at
III O'Clock with a rousing chapel service.
The halls and office had been crowded
with students for two hours previous,
who were waiting their turn to register.
when the gong sounded the assem- bly,
hour and all passed to the semblyroom,
cTowding it to its utmost seating capac-
ity.
The services opened by singing, On
ward, Christian Soldiers, followed by
prayer by Rev. J.B. Green of Vincent M.
E. church, after which Rev. G.. W. White,
president OF the board of trustees, and
acting president of the university, spoke
to the students of the prospects of the
college and its aims. lie said that he ex-
pecteu that the students we're all til ere
for work, and that the improvements that
have been put in during the past vacation
were the result of that idea. The school
years are the formative ones in life and
for that reason the Christian school has
distinctive place III the educational
Iield. But he did not believe that tn g
church school should build up the Chris
tian character alone. While he held that
end to be fundamental, he held that the
intellectual should go hand in hand with
it hence the church schools must have
the best teachers, the best ,pment and
the best of everything. and he believed
that the changes of the past year had
placed the university in that list. He
pointed, as quite significant, to the fact
that there ara four times as many grad
uates from the church schools each year
as from all others combined. and that
the NJ. f. church furnished 10 per cent
OF tue oenominational graduates, or one
to every. .fftythree OF its members IN the
United States, and one to every thirty =
seven in California
He Insisted that the church should not
teach sectarianism, but that each stud ent
should have his education grounded on
the Bible. He believed in o-education,
not AS the Irishman who thought it
GLORIOUS to be alone, especially when his
sweetheart was with him. but because
it was an incentive to better work. He
closed by expressing his desire to meet
all present in the great university of God
above. TO take the course together there
for ever.
The Rev. Chase of Boyle Heights, who
had been a member OF the board OF
trustees of the university for over fifteen
years. and the Rev. A. G. Williams OF
University also made few remarks, after
which Dean Phillips introduced the new
members of the faculty and spoke of the
difficulties attending the old as compar red
with the new course of study. He then
made one of his earnest, encouraging
speeches, closing with the announcement

to enter during tine coming two weeks,

The Herald is in receipt of letter from
President W. G. Patterson of the cham

To the I.o; Angeles cham ber OF commerce
that | cannot allow myself to believe shat
the in Justice done to that body in two
recent dltorials touching La Fiesta mat
ters was intentional. The situation is
as follows:
The idea of an annual Fiesta originated
with the Merchants association. That
body has carried through successfully the
splendid carnivals of 1894 ana 1895. The
Merchants association has not yet voted
its unwillngness to attempt the produc
tion OF the Fiesta Of '96. The meeting
held about two weeks ago at the rooms of
the ham ber of commerce was by invita-
tlon OF the Merchants association, to dis
cuss matters appertaining TO the Fiesta
of &c." After full discussion it was
voted as the sense OF the meeting, first,
that Fiesta should be held, and second
that il should be under tt Q auspices of
the Merchants association. the board of
trade and the chambe of commerce. 1t
was the general understanding at the
meeting that the Merchants' association
would speedily meet and waive its un-
questioned right to solely manage the
next Fiesta. Such action has not yet been
taken, although | am informed that
meeting to discuss the situation has been
called for this "Wednesday evening. Un-
til that body takes action of this charac-
ter. it would be disc0u,teous to it should
the other organizations undertake to as
sumo partial or entire control of the mat
ter.

to cooperate heartily and energetipallv

bodies.
