Senator Pugh stated to a State Herald reporter in Montgomery that he is a candidate for reelection to the United States senate. He made no explanation of the report that he had previously stated at Demopolis that he was not candidate. Senator Pugh doubtless mis- understood his questioner at Demopolis, as he is not the wavering kind and genex- ally says what he means and means what he says, and is not afraid to talk out In meeting.

How Conductor Sousa was taken to
task by General Schofield for his lack Of
discipline is told by the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The last echo Of one Of Sousa's over.
lures was just dying away over the sand

General Schofield stepped in front of
the band and saluted the distinguished
leader. Sousa returned the salute and
sent one of his men to escort the general

Sousa's hand warmly. II am astonish-
ed, sir, that You get such results with
so little discipline.
There is nothing that Sousa prides
himself more on than being one Of the
strictest Of disciplinarians, and he was
naturally nettled at the generals criti-
cism.
"Why. general, my men are under
perfect control. I'm sure they are thor
oughly drilled, and can hardly believe
that there is any lack OF discipline !

"No. that's just it; you don't see II, "

don't see it, for as soon a. you turn
around they begin again"
The fun in this, at the expense Of the
general, lies, Of course, in the fact that
when . section Of Sousa's men became
silent as he turned to the other was
when the music so required. But the
general looked upon this lapse q be
would upon the suspension Of q section
Of his artillery when he turned his at.

However valuable aid Mr.. Clay may
have rendered his country at court
while in Russia, his autobiographic
memoirs are full Of proofs that he was
no more q trained diplomat than .
trained military man. One incident will
suffice-the story of how he lost the
favor of the czarina. One day he was
invited by the car to Czarsko Selo. q
private estate IS miles in circumference,
containing forests and lakes. The car
sent him for a drive in his carriage,
which, Of course, had the royal livery.
The Princess Suwarrow, member OF
the royal household, had gone rowing
in q light boat and invited Mr.. Clay to
20 with her. It came ON rain, and the
princess was in a light summer dress
II was thus necessary to 60 to shore at
once. But how was the princess to get
home?
Mr.. Clay proposed that she should
take the carriage, and that he should
find shelter under the trees till 1t re-
turned. The lady seemed reluctant to
do this, but at length got in and drove
of. The result was that che was seen
driving in the czar's carriage. The
czarina did not forgive Mr.. Clay for
this. Mr.. Clay afterward explained the
circumstance to Prince Alexander Dol
gorouki. He says, II saw the prince
took my explanation in good part and
believed in my sincerity, but he smiled
in sad way, which as much as said.

This evidence practically ended the
inquest Merrick was called to prove
that the wound in the hand was such q
one rs might have been made BY the
downward stroke Of the hand.on sharp
point. This evidence was su4stantiated
BY the local practitioner, who had ex-
amined the body with DR.. Merrick.
There was no doubt that the affair had
happened ~ Strent said. Felix Briar-
field had slapped his open hand ON the
table to emphasize his refusal to marry
Rose Gernon. Unfortunately it came in
contact with the poisoned arrowhead
The flint had an edge like a razor, and
being stepped in virulent poison acted
like snake bite on the unfortunate
young man. Felix had not been muir
dered, but died by misadventure.
That was the verdict brought in by
the jury, and SO the whole Of this strange
affair came to an end. Thanks to the
astuteness OF the inspector and the del
icacy of the coroner, the jury were
quite unaware of what had happened
between the death Of Felix and the in
quest. The reporters Of the Marshmin-
ster Gazette merely put in short state
ment of the affair, and in . few days
people ceased TO take any interest in the
Fen inn crime. 1t was lucky escape
for Francis, but I don't think the lesson
was thrown away on him.
Rose Gernon and her brother went
back to town the same evening. Inever
saw Strent again, but frequently had
the pleasure Of seeing his sister perform.

Those In This Vicinity Have Formed Be-
nevolent Society
Some time ago the Slavonic citizens OF
this city constituted themselves INTO a
society known as the Slavonian- Ameri-
can Benevolent Society of Los Angeles.
California, and adopted a constitution
and bylaws admitting to mem 5ership all
nationalities of the Slavonic race in this
vicinity. Through the courtesy of the
Italian Benevolent society, they were per-
mitted to hold their first formal meeting
in the hall of that organization on Buena
Vista street. The Slavonians express
their sincere thanks TO the Italian So
ciety.
The meeting was in every respect a
success and the harmony and good Will
demonstrated by all those present was
commendable. The constitution and by
laws were first adopted by the seventy.
five charter members present. and the
election of officers resulted as follows:
John lopisich, president; JACK Marietich,
vice president; n. NJ. Danilovich and A.
Milovich, secretaries Peter Marincovich,
treasurer; John c. Pavcovich. Geo. Mas
trovich, S. Maudch, V. Scutich, M.
Tomich, V. Scarich. trustees.
After speeches made by the officers and
mem bers jolly good time was enjoyed,
accompanied by the Slavonian national
ed according to the state laws of Califor-
MIA. The next meeting is to be held on
Thursday evening of this week.
This new society was in the beginning
obliged to bury one of its mem bers, and
the expenses of the funeral were con-
tributed by the hs rdened hands of the
members of the society.

SUNDAY AT THE BEACHES
Crowded Trains on All the Roads to
the Sea
How the Good and the Ungood Disported
Themselves Yesterday in Towr
and Out

Every Sunday the streets are more and
more deserted every Sunday travel on
the t-bound trains grows heavier and
heavier. Although the weather reports
in Los Angeles showed the maximum
temperature In Los Angeles to have
reached only y degrees, very large per
centage of the community made an early
start for the neighborng seaside resorts,
and Santa Monica, Redondo. San Pedro
and Long Beach were crowded all day
long with those ungooly citizens who
believe that they stand as good chance
of reaching heaven by eating their lunch
con on the beach, keeping cool and look
ing at the sea the while, as by sizzling in
town, going to church, and being sorry
all the time they're alive.
The Southern Pacific did the biggest
days business OF the year so far. All the
trains to Santa Monica were crowded.
One train alone in the afternoon brought
back 400, and that from Wilmington.
which is called the fish train, brought
1856 people back from Catalina.
The Southern California road reported
the same kind of business on all its coast
lines; and although it was 1ot even un-
comfortably warm in town, people are
evidently beginning to have 1t borne in
upon them that summer has really come.
The delicious music that the Raboglia
ii quintette plays is a strong attraction at
Redondo, and at Santa Monica, besides
the Douglas military band. which drew
a crowd around the music stand on the
bluff, the Chino cornet band played on
the beach. The plunge is at last in
working order and was full to the brim
all day. The breakers and undertow
were not as uncerem:onlously cordial as
last Saturday. and consequently the surf
had Its full quota of Joyous Sabbath
breakers. Nearly everybody that didn't
go to the beach went to Westlake park,
strolled about the paths, loun ged on the
grass. or toated about on the lake to the
inspiring accompaniment OF the Los
Angeles military band, which played one
of it's finest programmes in the band
stand. Paradoxical as it may seem. the
churches seemed TO be as full as usual,
and the only conclusion that can be
reached is that the town is growing and
keeps up the general average OF the good
and the ungood.
