YESTERDAY WAS A HOLIDAY
That Is, il Was for the Ubiquitous
School Boy
Review Of the Situation Leads One to
State That the Youngsters Alone
Profited by 1t

Yesterday was holiday. That is, leg
islative enactment made 1T SO. The
schools were closed and SO were the bailks
and the city and county Offices.
The students of reading, 'riting and
'rlthmetic welcomed the day, but it is q
question whether any other class did.
So tar as the banks and city and county
employees are concerned, the most of
them stayed at their respective desks and
made an effort to catch up in their work.
They yawned a tribe IN ore and were
bothered hv fewer questions yesterday
and that was all. The day was a bore to
them and the gaping proved it.
The federal court was in session as
usual. Merchants were preoccupied as
usual. Clerks were busy as usual. Labor
ers Of high and low degree were employed
as usual. Only the school kids we're
playing-ano so far as the writer knows,
thai even was AS usual.
No parades of men marched; no blar-
ing bands played on; no flags were
Haunted in the face of sight seers no sill
very-or acknowledgements were made,
and no theater tried to win the elusive
dollar by means of the captivating matt
nee. Fruits, vegeta bles, eggs, butter,
cheese. poultry, millstuffs, provisions,
grain, hay, meats, honey hats, clothing,
dry goods, boots and Waterburys solo
as readily as upon other days and during
as many hours.
Captain Neville contemplated the stiff
neokedness of the suburban ties With a
tender heart. Chief Glass at odd times
would, in his mind s eye, view the home
over there-the prospective city Jail. The
oil producer pegged away with his evil
smelling but power-evolving fluid, scorn-
ing the prophecy that it is to revolution
ize Los Angeles and Southern California,
and dreaming only of the promised dollar
or dollar and half that he is to get for
the Dalrel.
The Standard people voiced devout
wish that the blankety blank tank cars
would put in an appearance. The South
ern Pacific folks wore u smile thinking
of the palatiai cars that are to make up
their biweekly trains, and their friends,
the enemy-the Santa Fe--seemed happ
as a rom-tit on pump handle as 1t
thought of its fast train that is soon to
startle the bipeds 1nhabiting the PLAIN
and the desert.
And this was the legal labor day in Los
Angeles! A review of the situation leads
one to state that the youngsters alone
profited by it-and even this is open to

HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING
Papers Read on Topic, of Local Histori
Interest

Papers Read on Topics of Local Historic
Interest
The Historical society held its regular
monthly meeting last night in Judge
Morrison's court room on Second street.
The evening was devoted to routine bust
ness and the reading OF a couple of papers
on topics OF local historic interest
Beginning the programme, the secre-
tary read letter from !. l.. Given OF
Oakland, an old California pioneer OF
al. The letter contained an interesting
narration of the authors meeting wi tn
Don Abel Stearns in the fall of 1871, when
Stearns showed him quart bottle of gold
dust, containing about eighty ounces.
The gold had been obtained at the San
Fernando diggings. Mr.. Stearns has al
ways been quoted as authority for the
staten ent that gold was first discovered
in California in March, 1912.
The next paper was read by Mrs. B..
Burton Williamson, who gave fall ac-
count of the founding of the University
of California and a history of the town.
THE design of founding a university in
Los Angeles" said she, had its orig in
in 1868. Judge Widney had induced Don
bel Stearns to take this project under
advl%ment Of establishing a college on
Laguna ranch. 1t was tavorably received
by him, but he died before Its consum-
nation. Numerous locations were offer
ed, from among which the present site
was chosen. lightweight lots and tract
of forty acres were donated to start the
young institution. The first college
building was erected in 1880, the new ed
ifice being constructed in 1887. The prop
erty belonging to the institution was at
first valued at 5000 lot, but in 1887 it
reached the high price of $500 per single
lot"
Mrs. Williamson gave complete history
OF The town, which was replete with in
teresting incidents and historic records.
Routine busihess was then taken up.
Louis Herzog was presented as candi-
date tor mem bership and unan imously
elected.
Then followed a discussion upon the
report of the receipts and expenditures
, of the mission preservation fund, which
was filed at the last meeting. The &C
counts showed an expenditure of $3.50 for
| photographs. watercolors, slides and
views. OF this amount only $45 worth
we're sold. The remaining 1913 worth is
not accounted for. Typewriting services,
expert charges and sundries consume the
| balance of the receipts, except $685. which
| the chairman says he will keep until
| further augmented, when it will be used
! for the preservation of the mission ruins.
OF the $3.50 reported collected for preserv-
| ing the missions the report does not sho "
| that any portion OF 1T has been expended
J for that purpose. This concluded the
evenings programme and the society ad-
journed to meet one month hence.

SCALEBU0S AND PARASITES
DO Horticultural Commissioners Suppress In

DO Horticultural Commissioners Suppress In
formation About the Latter
A San Bernardino correspondent writes
The Herald quite lengthy letter in re-
gard to scale bugs and their parasites and
the valuable work they have accom-
piished in Kidding orchards of destructive
pests when allowed to work unm oIested.
The writer has visited many fruit ranches
within recent period and has had unus-
ual opportunities to note the matter he
speaks Of. The letter is too lengthy for
use just at this time, but will be used later
on and will be made the text for further
inves tigation by The Herald on the scale
pest question.
The correspondent speaks especially of
an olive grove near the border line close
to Pomona, where the rhizobius ventralis
were colonized 'by the million''and had
effectually suppressed the black scale. H 9
furnishes names of orchardists and saws
that the horticultural commissioners of
the county urge the suppression OF all in
formation in regard to the presence of
the parasite IN such mum bers and proceed
with undated energy to spray and fumi-
gate with washes and fumes which kill
everything having life, not infrequently
the fruit tree as we'll. This work has al
so on numerous occasions been charged
against the authorities of Los Angeles
county and will receive further attention
little later on.

MODEL LETTERS THESE
long Kee Writes TO Chief Glass for
Assistance
A Serious Correspondence Between the Chief
and nongolian at San Diego-Hs
Wants His Wife Rescued

Long Kee is good Chinaman, and
very different from the average of Mon
golians, for he is Christian. It is this
quality in which consists his goodness.
He works at the Del Coronado hotel, but
despite his quiet surroundings his peace
and comfort of mind are sorely troubled.
The cause of it all is a woman, COM
plant not unknown even among the
more enlightened nations of the world.
This woman is his lawfully wedded
wife. married TO him IN a Christian mis-
sion some time ago. But the female does
not appear to be so proper person as
law abiding individual like Kee would
desire, for she has wilfully deserted his
bed and board and has joined that largo
army of females in this city who have no
name.
Kee evidently cares for his errIng
spouse and is DESTROYS of having her come
back and play in the back yard OF the
Coronado hotel, while he can look out OF
the window as he washes the dishes and
Join in her sports, in spirit at least if
nothing more. He wrote to Chief Glass
recently and asked that the local author
tiles assist him in recovering the woman.
The epistles are models in their line
and decidedly unique in other ways. Long
KEGS letter, written from Coronado is as
follows:
Mr.. Chief Glass; Dear Sir, wish you
please do me favorer to teak that Woman
away from the Chinese Town but [ am
very sorry My Wife live with that an on

OPENING THE CLASSES

I.
c. A. Rooms
A large audience of young m en- gathered
at the Young Mems Christian Assoca-
stion last evening on the occasion of the
opening of the classes for the season of
lS95'96. Dean Phillips of the University
OF Southern California gave an inspiring
address He saio in part:
The young man who enters the
twentieth century successfully must
think. Education is possible to every
man even without college or school. 1t
is not the NUMBER OF sciences that q man
masters but the manner in which he m as
ters 1T which counts. All that lies before
men, OF good and right, lies before
you. Great as colleges are they are not
the exclusive avenue to culture. There
IS nothing so grand in this world as a
clean young man. To such man culture
comes as an EN- Enlistment.
l deprecate that education which sends
the man from the lathe to the store or
from the farm to the office. l would
have You seek education SO that YOU can
transmit your power into service. A Gull
tured mind dignifes any employment.
Remember, that ii you will you. can."
The address was listened to with the
deepest interest.
General Secretary Ball then outlined
the studies for the evening ensuing sea-
son, after which George B. H lodge, secre-
tary OF the international committee of
the Y. M. G. A., gave a brief but interest
ing ADDRESS. MIR. Hodge is in the city to
attend the convention which assem- bles
this week and has with him an interest
ing exhibit of the educational work done
throughout the country in Y. M. G. A.
classes.
G. s. DeLanu and several of his pupils
in the y. M. Guitar and Banjo club gave
several selections. A large numbe, OF
young men joined the classes, which
comprise many studies. The first reoita-
tions of each class commence next week.

been Circus rider was in circrlslionsS o ere
weeks before it was published in Los
Angeles. When the story finally came
out in The Herald it. seemed here to be
the best thing to publish it and then in
vestigate by obtaining the facts. These the
Sun has now finally secured, the SUBJ
stance of them being that when residing
in Beatrice, Nebraska, (she never lived
in Omaha with her first husband, she
became an expert horsewoman, her phys
ician having advised that form of exer-
else for the benefit of her health.
On one occasion she rode a spirited
horse, that 1t had been question
whether she could manage, and some
friend standing by sain iocularly
why. you ride like circus woman.
After that, the remark being considered
Joke worth repeating, it was frequently
heard among her friends. This is the sole
and only foundation for the untrue ru
NOR. Mrs. Dumcurriez feels that she has
had quite enough to bear of late without
having trifes magnihed into such shape
as to give the public wholly wrong i'm
preston OF her entirely blameless life.
Concerning her marriage to Wayne,
which the same informant of The Herald
mas purposely distorted, it is learned
that she had BEEN divorced and a resi-
gent OF San Francisco some years before
Mayne and his wife became divorced.
Later she and Mayne met in San Fran
cisco and that was the first she knew of
his divorce. He subsequently urged her
to marry him. She at first refused, but
hnally consented and they we're united
there on September 10, 1890. She had
nothing to do with his affairs and was
worth at that time, through inheritance
from her parents in New York City
1noth OF French descenU some $50, 600.
There was no scandal, no social ostra-
c'sm' anywhere, and instead of Mayne
~ bankrupt They have residcu in this
state ever since, and latterly came to San
Diego. Hsre Mrs. Dumourrier has made
friends that she values too highly to let
these rumors go longer uncontradicted.

L.. q. Palmer. who was arrested on
Boyle Heights last weak By Officer Arg
uello for having interfered with the lat.
ter in making an arrest, is redhot after
Arguello's scalp. and says he proposes to
push the case against the officer and
have him removed from the Boyle
Heights district even if he will not be
able to hav, his topknot dangling from
his belt.
Palmer says that everybody in that
section has it in for the Castilian officer
and are DESTROYS of having him pick up
his tent and silently steal away. The
irate gentleman across the river called
upon Chief Glass yesterday and wanted
to learn how the removal of the object of
bis dislike could be accomplished. Pal
mer said that the reason he had resisted
the Off Ger was because the latter had re
fused to show his police star until finally
forced to do so. His case was postponed
and when 1t is settled he will bend all of
his energies to have Mr.. Arguello trans
ferred.
1t hardly seems likely, though, that
Arguelio need pass many sleepless
nights over the matter.

evening, at meeting held i'll the cham

port the Fiesta in liberal manner and
that they would share to a considerable
extent in the expenses of the coming fes-
tival.
The meeting was called to order by A.

stated that the Fiesta had been of the
greatest benefit to Los Angeles and that
the hotel and restaurant keepers were the
principal beneiciaries. In these views he
was supported by Mr.. Potter of the West

1t was their duty and also that of the res
taurant keepers to give the most substan-
tial aid to the Fiesta and he declared
that he would willingly and gladly SUBJ
scribe his share toward that end.
Mr.. Willard and Mr.. Francis of the ex-
ecutive committee urged the hotel Ike ep-
ers to act in liberal spirit, as such
course would induce other business men
to follow the example and create bene-
fetal effect In the com munity.
On motion of Mr.. Potter it was decided
that a committee bs appointed to make
thorough canvass of the hotels, lodging
houses and restaurants of this city and to
apportion to each it's share to be con-
tributed to the Fiesta fund. In this
manner it was stated, the amount to be
raised will largely exceed that sum sub
scribed by them last year and would
prove that the hotel and restaurant keep
