Whether woman is walking on the

THE SWEATER.

A Curious TuAeral Rite which Obtaln0d
In Wales.
Z The principality of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the "sin-eater." 1t was the
practice for q relative-usually wOm-
an-to put on the breast OF deceased
person quantity of bread and cheese
and beer, and the sin-eater was sent for
to consume them and to pronounce the
everlasting rest of the departed. Itwas
believed that in doing this he absolutely
ate and appropriated to himself the sins
symbolized by the viands, and thereby
prevented their disturbing the repose OF
the sinner who had committed them.
Such an arrangement would obviously
leave nothing to be desired on the one
side. but how It worked on the other we
are not told. What was supposed to be
the condition of this spiritual under
taker after the ceremony was con-
cluded? Did his appropriation" of the
dead mans sins imply q sort Of moral as
similation of them, answering to his
physical assimilation Of the bread and
cheese7 The question would obviously
be one Of some importance to sin-eater
in large practice. II the responsibili-
ties of his profession were a. great al
ties of his profession were a. great as
hypothesis, he would need to retire
from it early, and to devote . cousider-
able portion Of his closing years to re-
pentance and good works.
Again, It IL natural to ask what hap
pened at the decease Of popular or
fashionable" sin-eater. Would any
one among his professional brethren
undertake to eat his sims, even in tho
first flush Of satisfaction produced by
stepping into his shoes? IF 60, then,
indeed. has the epithet Of gallant"
been rightly bestowed upon little Wales.

WOMEN IN THE PROFESSIONS.
The Great Increase In the United King
dOm-EOme Statistfcs,

The Great Increase In the United King
dom-Some Statistics.
The advance made by women in the
professions is strikingly brought out by
this new census paper. In the civil
service the number of women officers
and clerks had risen from lesspthan 3,
600 in 1871 to S,546 in the last census
year. In the local government of the
country, too. women are much more
freely employed. There was evidently
a return of women doctors in 1871; they
were awaiting their degrees, or had de-
grees which the census did not recog-
nize; in 1881 they were returned as 25
in number, but in 1891 they were 101 in
England and Wales. Women vetefi-
nary surgeons appeared for the first
time in the census of 1891. There were
then two of them. Besides over So, 900
sick nurses, there are 887 women en-
gagged in Subordinate medical service. .
Under the somewhat comprehensive
heading of author, editor, journalist," /"
we find ego women in 1891, as compared
with 452 ten years before and 255 in
1871. Women reporters were rare in
$751; Fifteen was the total number for
England and Wales, but in 1891 there
were 1877. In the arts the invasion OF
the ladies is most conspicuous. In
1881 there were 1860 of their sex who
returned themselves as painters, en-
grayers or sculptors; in 1891 the NUM-
Ter had risen to 3,032. For the first
time in 1891 there were lady architects
on the census. They numbered 10.
Lady musicians and music mistresses
numbered over 10000 in 1891. They
were IL 900 ten years before Instead
OF 1868 actresses, as in 1881, there were
in 1891 1896. In the commercial class
the increase of women workers is not
so striking, the apparently great aug
lncntation of commercial clerks being
explained by the transfer to this class

HOUSES AND STORES
Brief Reference to Some of the Buildings to
Be Erected


Be Erected
The total amount represented in the
weeks building permits is S307 $40, and
the stru ctures range in value from Mr..
McElfresh's S little dwelling on Twenty fth
street. at total cost of $780, to the mag
nifcent Wilcox block. The most expen-
sive building for which permit for con-
struction was issued is the one just re-
ferred to. to be put up by Mary A. Will
cox and the Wilcox estate on the south
east corner OF Second street and Spring
street. at cost of $40, 900. The building
is to be constructed of brick, stone and
iron, four stories high, and will be both
substantial ana ornamental both fronts
TO be of Oregon cut stone, such as ap-
pears in the grand entrance of the Byrne
building On the northwest corner of
Broadway and Third street. and will be
the first cut stone front in the city. This
is the only really high cost building for
when permit was isused during the
week, the next in cost being the church
to be erected by the First Presbyterian
society at the southeast corner of
Twentieth and FIgueroa streets. The
new church is to cost $4,000 and will
be decided departure from the church
architecture of this region, as 1t will be
built OF stone.
Ihere are TWO other permits issued Tor
the building of brick stores, one being
that for which preparatory work has been
done by Marsh & Gage, on Third street
between Spring and Broadway, a three
story building to cost $1,000; another
covers a two-story brick owned by G. F.
Paulk, to be erected on Washington
street between Bush and Hoover, the
estimated cost being $4,000. Another
building of seml-public character fo-
which a permit was taken out is the Good
Samaritan hospital, to be built ON
Seventh street near Pearl, at an expense
of $1,000.
All the rest of the long list is made up
of dwellings. and of these many homes
onlysone represents an investment of more
than $3000 the exception being hand
some dwelling for the use of the owner
to be built on Seventh street near Pearl
and to cost $4S00. Comparatively few of
the remainder are expensive o. pretentious
buildings, though the majority exceed
$1,000 in cost. Though the buildings are
many. the fact that they are homes OF
fairly weli-to-do people is even more dis
tinctly marked than heretofore. Los
Angeles is not only building more houses
than any other city OF its size in the
world, put it is promptly filling those
houses, and all of them, with the very
best class of people which ever made a
promising and progressive city into a
great one.

The officer was told that Burr had offered

Mr.. Goodman visited the room of Burr

insolyent debtors, was thrown out by Or
der of Judge Shaw yesterday in written
opinion. Mullen & Egan filed their petit
ton in insolvency, asking an equal divi-
dend to their creditors, but denying the
claim OF the bank of Pomona, which
sued. The court forbade the bank partic-
ipating in the dividend on the ground
that within thirty days before the adjud-
ication of insolvency the insolvents made
sale to the National Bank OF Pomona of
a large part of their property. The as
signee afterwards recovered the property
by suit, and the bank filed its claim,
stating that it had made due '.surren-
der" according to the laws of bank
ruptcy. But Its claim was ordered strick-
en- from the files, its assertions being
fund by the judge to be not IN accord
ance with the facts.
