FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
Police Court and Lodging-Houses
Under Fire.
Two Timely Measures to Be Fathered
by the Civic Federation at
Sacramento.

Next Monday evening there will be sub
mitted to the Civic Federation the drafts
of two very important proposed penal
statutes, which will be taken up by the
federation and, either in their original
forms or after some alterations, urged fol-
passage in the Legislature by the com.
mittee on legislation of the federation
M. V. Samuels and Gustave Clutch.
One of the statutes is being prepared by
Prosecuting Attorney G. w. Reed, and
is intended to reorganize entirely the
Police courts of San Francisco. 1t is very
elaborate and minute and consists of nearly
1000 words. Many of its provisions follow
closely recommendations made by the last
Grand Jury in its report.
Its more salient points are these: The
Prosecuting Attorneys to be Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys, appointed and removable
by the District Attorney. No delays after
the arraignment of prisoner, except for
good cause shown by affidavit; all bonds
to be examined and accepted or rejected
by an officer to be known as bond clerk
appeal cases to be filed in the Superior
Court within ten days after judgment and
the statement on appeal settled by the trial
court within five days after the appeal is
taken.
In addition to the radical changes the
procedure of the Police courts is totally
overhauled with view to promptness and
dispatch, not only in the Police courts
themselves, but in the intermediate steps
to be taken between the Police courts and
the Superior Court in appeal cases.
The second statute is the work of Frank
B. Gibson, secretary and manager of the
Law and Order League. 1t is based upon
the following statement in the last Grand
Jury's report:
Additional feeders of this (social) evil are the
side entrances to saloons, running under res
lewd and immoral; the many dancing places
where liquor is sold, the convenient transient
rooms to rent, and still more pretentious assig-
nation houses. These abound in our city to a
fearful extent, and can only be eradicated by
strict laws rigidly enforced, backed by strong
public sentiment The enactment of such laws
should be immediately attended to and we call

Hale and Hearty

Is the condition in which every human being
was undoubtedly intended to be, aud whenever
this is not the case there must be something
wrong. Perhaps In majority OF cases the trou.
bic Is In the blood which has become Impoverished
impure by reason OF hereditary scrofuIa talnts
from some other cause. In there Is scrofula
in the blood there will frequently be eruptIons of
the skin. though sometimes the disease assumes
different form. In fact very large proportion OF
diseases are caused by this inherited faint. That
the II IN the blood is proved by the fact that
scrofula. salt rheum. rheumatism, cAtarrh and
other like diseases are most readily cured by purl
flying the blood. No medicine has ever produced
so many actual cures as Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
yet Hoods SarsapariilA is always advertised as a
blood purifier. The way to keep hale and hoa ty
is TO keep tho blood pure, and II It not in con-
dition of purity and vitality there Is no better
remedy that can be used than this same great
blood purifier and strsngth-builder. Hoods Sarsa-
pariIla.

LARRABEE ON TRIAL.
Testimony as to why He Murdere'
Effie King.

AOooony CD 10 why AAO ~
Effie King.
Frank Larrabee, charged with the MUIR
der of Effie King, was before Judge Wallace
for trial all day yesterday. The prosecu-
ton presented all its principal witnesses,
and the defense will probably go on to-day.
Kate Heating, domestic in the house
where the murdered girl lived, 3311 O'Far-
rell street, and Hattie Raymond, who
keeps the house, testified to having heard
the murdered woman scream, and upon
rushing to her room that they saw Lar
rabee standing over her PROSTATE body and
slashing at her throat with razor.
George W. Russell and Leo Herringe,
who lived in the house. gave substantially
the same testimony, and Charles E. Fen
nett, the arresting policeman, told what
he had done in arresting the prisoner, and
how, when he looked at the woman's body
after securing Larrabee, she was dead.
The crime was committed on August
last, the cause being jealoucy. Larrabee
had been living with the woman, and
when she left him he took that method OF
righting what he thought was the wrong
done him. The trial will go on again to-
day.

THE GRAND CANYON.
Wonders That Astonish the Most Matter
of Fact Travellers.

Wonders That Astonish the Most Matter
of Fact Travellers.
There are many wonders within the Inn
its of the Yellowstone Park, but OF all
there is nothing so wonderful as the Grand
Canyon of the Yellowstone River. one
can at no season of the year view this ire
mendous gorge without sense of awe at
the work of the Titantic elemental forces
which have followed it out CT the en-
during granite of the hills. There is an
impression of unspeakable solemnity con-
veyed by this giant spectacle, and no Amer
lean looks upon it without sense of abso-
lutte humility and insignifcance. The
thought, the meaning, the expression OF
the Grand Canyon is something the human
mind is unable at first to grasp. There is
no coup d'eil possible there; there is no
definite thought resultant upon any sim
gle glance at the Grand Canyon, no matter
how comprehensive or how perspective
that may be. The Grand Canyon refuses
to be comprised at glance. 1t demands
faithful, patient, humble study.
More impressive than Niagara, more
mighty than the sea, more beautiful than
the Alps, it offers to the visitor an enigma
capable OF solution only after long and rev.
erent acquaintance. To attempt to see the
Grand Canyon in an hour or a day is ridic-
ulous. To attempt to see it as one of a
crowd is wrong to ones best self. To
study it hour after hour, to drink in with
undated zest the same view time after
time, day after day, to see the mountain
lights and shades give thousand different
expressions to the face of nature and to
learn some new feature even at the last
visit to some familiar point of view-these
are the things which make the visitor and
observer at first curious, then wondering,
and then, we may almost say worshipful.
Not even the most blase world -trotter has
ever been heard to express disappointment
with the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone,
and it is singular to notice the universally
respectful and subdued comment upon it
by the most casual and fiippant visitor.
There have been very few persons who have
seen the canyon in winterStime, and it may
be well believed that we made the most of
our rare privilege. 1t was risky work APP
preaching the great walls on the skis, but
we managed to get to different points COM
handing full view of the main portion of
the canyon and of both the Great Falls and
upper falls of the Yellowstone. The Great
Falls were incased in vast columns of ice
on each side, and from them rose noble
pillar of dense white vapor. Never again
shall we see more remarkable sight than
that thus. presented to us on that clear,
white morning. -Philadelphia Press.

LEES MISERABLES.

The E1-Judge in the Atchison Police
Judge" ]. F. Lee, who moved to To-
peka last summer from Manhattan and
began a close and enduring intimacy
with the police court, until he was finally
forced through the Kelley cure, has
been heard from again. This time
he is at Atchison. Lee had no
sooner got through the Kelley
institute at Topeka than he backslid
with velocity that landed him in police
court again in less than three days He
has been unable to get very far away
since.
At the close of a recent term Saturday
morning the police concluded Lee was
too much of a care for one department
and decided by unanimous vote to pass
him around. Lee has always claimed to
be good thing and SO the police pushed
him along. He was sent to Atchison
Saturday morning that he might feel
more at home and he lost no time in pre-
senting his credentials at police court
good for a bunk.
Lees stories to the Atchison police
were numerous. He bore messages
from Governor Morrill,, he said, and had
once been principal of the bingham
and Troy schools. In addition to being
drunken he further averred that he
was the writer of all the leading editor
ials in an obscene newspaper published
at Troy, Kansas.
The Atchison police judge was unused
to Lee and had him shipped on to Troy.

man fashion without fear OF criticism is
at hand. The sidesaddIe has always been
a serious handicap, and Miss Woods, an
enterprising Chicago woman, has in
vented a costume which enables her to
discard it without derogation of her
Womanly modesty and dignity.
The lower garment Of this costume
may be called divided skirt, but prac-
tically it resembles pair Of very wide
trousers. The two skirts, each a third
Of a yard in width, are fastened in
belt at the waist, and gathered in with
a row of plaits at the middle of the
front and back. These plaits give the
divided garment the appearance of a
single skirt, and the fullness of each
skirt at the bottom completes the illu-
sion. A panel almost as wide as the APP
parent width of the skirt falls on each
side, from the belt almost to the foot,
which adds to the effectiveness and con-
ventional appearance of the costume
when the wearer is astride horse. The
improvement claimed for this costume
over the ordinary divided skirt is that
there is no clumsy fullness at the bottom.
The skirt hangs straight, and is no wild
er than an ordinary riding habit. It dis
plays less of the contour of the figure
than the regular costume used with the
sidesaddle.
Miss Woods introduced the innovation
as a result Of her experience in Pales-
tine After much discomfort and sever
al mishaps i'll riding in a dilapidated
sidesaddle she one day boldly threw her
leg across the horses back and rode that
way all day before any one discovered
her. Then she refused to ride any other
way. All the Arabian women ride
astride, and she followed the custom of
the country during the rest of her stay
there. With the remembrance Of the
comfort experienced on that trip she
decided to adopt mans fashion in Chi
cago, and did SO, with the result that
her example is being followed by a
large and increasing number Of women
in the Windy City.
