ceive payment equal to one-quarter of the
amount of his benefit certificate then in
force, less such amounts as have al

THE CHILDREN'S SOCIETY,
Various Matters Con sid ered at the Meet
ing Yesterday-PeculiarC Case of
Roy Howard.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children met yesterday and considered
the report of Secretary McComb for April.
The number of complaints received was
132, all of which were investigated. There
were 90 prosecutions, 40 convictions, 10
dismissals and are pending trial. The
number of children relieved was 249 and A
were placed in public institutions.
The secretary reported that he had re-
ceiyed notice from the Bank of California
that the balance owing to the society by
DR.. r. H. Mcdonald would be paid as
soon as the form and particulars of the re-
lease of the claim and the manner OF the
assignment of the deposit in the People s
Home Bank could be agreed upon.
On motion of l. T. Milliken it was de-
cided to assign the amount OF the claim
(S35S4 12) to Charles E. Laidlaw, as re-
quested by DR.. Mcdonald.
The case of Roy Howard, charged with
perjury, was considered. Howard married
Lizzie Behan some weeks ago, took her to
Portland and placed her in disreputable
resort. 1t developed that Howard had
made an oath that Lizzie was 10 years OF
age, although her father swore she was not
yet 10.
Through some strange complication,
said Secretary McComb, ''the records OF
the church show the girls age to be 10,
while the girl herself, her sister and father
believe her to be not yet 10. In the face OF
the church record the charge of perjury
could not be established, and the wretch
who intended to swear falsely, and believed
that he was swearing falsely when he Sc
cured the marriage license, was dis
charged.
Thomas Dennigan and W. c. Beleher
were elected members of the society.

FREDERICKS WILL FIGHT.
He Will Be Resentenced by Judge
Murphy in the Near
Future.

This morning District Attorney Barnes
will appear before Judge Murphy in De-
partment 3 of the Superior Court and ask
that the court set day for the passing of
the death sentence on William Fredericks,
the murderer of William Herrick, the
bank cashier.
Fredericks' case has been passed upon
by the Supreme Court and now before the
death sentence can be executed he must
be again sentenced by the Superior Court.
Fredericks was originally tried before
Judge Levy, formerly of Department 10,
and now, in the natural course of events,
he would come before Judge Slack. But
Judge Slack has had no criminal expert

BALLET-G|RLS.
for an Opportunity
to Appear Before the
FootlightS.
HOW THEY WERE SELECTED.
A Girl Who Grew the Wrong Way
and Had to Be Rejected Be-
cause Too Short.

At high noon yesterday the stage of the
Baldwin Theater was dimly lighted with a
few Jets of gas. Under the feeble rays
were a large number of women and girls of
all ages, heights and shapes, waiting for
an opportunity to apply for a situation.
Their applications were made to J.
Streuli, the advance agent for the "Lillipu-
tan Humpty-Dumpty Up to Date" which
will shortly appear before the public. The
applicants had all come in answer to an
advertisement calling for pretty girls to
appear in the ballet.
Seated at table near the footights was

ence and for that reason he has asked
Judge Murphy to pass sentence and he
has consented.
The defense in the Fredericks case
promises some startling features before all
proceedings come TO an end. On the day
Fredericks is sentenced Attorney Collwell,
who has been defending Fredericks says
tried for insanity, and furthermore he will
demand jury trial, proceeding some
what unusual. He says he sees no reason
why his client should not be allowed jury
trial, and if it be denied him the case will
be appealed on that point. The indica-
lions are that Fredericks will make long
fight yet.

thrown off to the right. This guard hangs
within one inch and three-quarters of the
roadbed. Suspended by iron hinges under
the frame are two small rollers which re-
volve on the slotplate OF the track and on
the lefthand rail when the car begins to
mount grade. A steel spring prevents the
guard from pitching, upward when it

in the rear prevent it from falling on the

contrivance acts well, throwing any object

furniture, is clever in his line. The bill,
which concludes with "Hades," is very
long one.

The TarfY-The Presidency

Some Of our Republican friends are al
ways ready for bout on the tariii ques-
ton. The Bristol News IS one OF the
Republican papers which stand always
armed and equipped, If not according
70 law. at least according 10 the News
notions as 10 how tariff discussion
should be carried on. The following
little paragraph IL from that paper;
"The Richmond Dispatch says the peo-
ple do not wish to have the tariff
disturbed at present That Is true In
part only The people do not wish any
more tariff disturbance. or reduction by
Democrats The latter have shown their
absolute incapacity TO deal herewith a
disturbed tarir' affects injuriously only
when there is a reckless reduction" etc,
etc
In other words. according 10 the News
the tariff will be disturbed" II the Re
publicans control the policy of he next
administration, but VIII not be dis
turbed" II the Democrats secure that con-
troll.
As we haye often said, nobody can tell
now what sort Of platform will be laid
down next year for either of the great
parties of III. country. The tariff ques-
ton is a Disturbing" question, bpt 49,
nevertheless. the very question which a
good many men Of both parties would
like TO substitute for the silver question.
But business was so much disturbed when
the last tariff was under discussion that
the people naturally DO not feel anxious
to reopen just now n subject which has
so bad reputation amongst the people.
They wish 10 postpone action on the
ariff TIL next year.
Mr. Mckinley. Of Ohio, Ia. notwith-
standing, put forward by his friends as
the Representatives. In n peculiar sense,
of the protective-tarifr element of his
party. and seems TO be willing TO run
for President on that issue. The last
Republican tariff was. and Is. called the
Mckinley tariff. and whenever IT IL men
toned naturally brings up his name.
Tom Heed. ex-President Harrison, and
oil the Republican aspirants for the
nomination for President. are just az good
protectionists "a Mr.. Mckinley. and VIII
not allow him 10 walk off with the next
nomination for President even on tarin-
disturbing platform.
The Republican National Convention
of next year win he called upon TO settle
the tariff question. as well as all the
other questions which now dsquiet the
leaders OF that party. And II will be no
easy task which the Republicans viii set
for themselves when they undertake 10
perform this duty. But they cannot
shirk II nor postpone II longer than until
their next national convention. The peo-
pie Will demand then well-defne1 Issues,
md will not content themselves with
such as were made ny In 1892.
The News will ind. therefore. that II
VIII have TO let the disturbing tariff
question alone for the present year-that

creed on the subject is concerned. The

Colonel UrccklnridGe.

II IL announced in a telegram from
Lexington. Ky. that Colonel w. c. p.
breckenridge will make his first appear
ance in politics this season at Williams
town, Saturday evening. speaking In favor
of General Hardin and the State Demo
cratic ticket.
1t will be impossible for Colonel Breck-
inridge ever to regain the place which he
once held in the esteem Of the people OF
Kentucky and the Union. Undoubtedly
he still has friends who would like to
see him again in public life. But their
wishes will not avail to get him out OF
the horrible pit" into which he plunged
when ne was acting the hypocrite so long.

men as he has shown himself to be.
