Breezy Advertising.

On one of the recent hot days large depart
mentstore in New York advertised stylish
sleighs for $50 each, offering to keep them for
delivery until the buyers should wish to use
them; and the advertisement, illustrated with
a picture of shapely cutter, was so exception
ally effective that it made the whole page
cool, and must have helped other advertisers
to sell their goods. Time was when midsum-
mer advertising-what there was of twas q

A DBPLORABLE PRACTICE.

In reversing the decision of the Police
Court finding poolroom agent guilty of
violating the ordinance prohibiting pool
selling on races except at the racetrack,
Superior Judge Wallace has given another
evidence of remarkable tendency on the
part of Judges to nullify laws which the
people have enacted with full under
standing of their necessity. Judge Wal
lace decides that the ordinance was not
violated, that it is insufficient for the OBJ
ject for which it was framed, and that ''if
the people want to close the poolrooms
they will have to do it by passing an ordi-
nance prohibiting the commission busi-
ness" This is extraordinary language.
Equally as bad as Judge Wallace's SEEM
ingly unnecessary readiness to declare a
useful ordinance. worthless is his remark
placing poolrooms and the commission
business on the same level. The Judge
who can see no distinction between I'M
questioned gambling, of form that ap-
peals to boys and servant-girls and en-
courages among them vices OF the worst
order, and an old and respectable business
rule which recognizes the necessity Of
middlemen in trade, who act for legitimate
buyers and sellers and are decent, law
abiding and useful citizens, displays a lack
of knowledge that tends to deprive such a
decision of. the value and respect that
might otherwise commend it.

The forty page midsummer number of
the Los Angeles Times, recently issued, is
an exceedingly praiseworthy result of an
enterprising effort of its management to
convey to non-residents of the State an
adequate impression of the charms and
advantages of Southern California as a
dwelling place for summer. Tourists and
writers have made Southern California
famous as a winter resort, but compare
lively little notice has been paid to the
fact that at no season of the year is that
section of the State more nearly at its best
than in summertime. The Times is par
ticular to correct an erroneous impression
That has gone abroad to some extent, that
because the winters are so mild, the sum-
mers must be excessively hot, and the
editor points out, by series of we'll
written articles on the subject, the pleas
ures of summer life in California, Ms
out-of-door season sports and pastimes.,
The number is profusely illustrated, de-
plotting, besides the attractions OF the
region for summering, the advantages it
offers for home building, manufacturing,
and for investments of all kinds.

CLARK CHAIGRD HIS MIND.
Pleaded Guilty But the Stiff SEN

Big Batch of Indicted Persons Ar.

Answer IL the Charges.

A dozen alleged offenders who have
been indicted were arraigncd before Judge

James Clark was one of the first called

known in police circles. About four years
ago he made daring escape from the
bailiffs at the City Hall and IA month later
was captured in the Virginia mountains.
Clark's specially is stealing from the
person, and he Is said to be one OF the
smoothest pickpockets in the East. That
was the charge upon which he was ar
raigned to-day.
After reading the Indictment, Clerk
Smith put the usual question: Are you
guilty or not guilty." '-' '4.-

DUTIES OF DETECTIVES.
Proctor Case Suggestions Are Puz-
zling the Police Officials.

Proctor Case Suggestions Are Puz-
zling the Police Officials.
The exoneration OF Detective Proctor
by the Commissioners, as announced in the
Sunday Times, was based upon the grounds
that in the case pursued in the Proctor
case the officer was acting under the or
ders of Lieut.. HoIljnberger and in ac-
cordance with the manual and that he was
strictly within the line OF his duty as an Of
ficer detailed to perform detective duty.
This decision is accompanied by sugges-
tion that the manual be go amended as TO
forbid the use of the detective force ex-
cept for the detection and prevention of
crime 1t has been suggested that as
violation of the Edmunds law, with which
Maxwell was charged, must necessarily
be classed as "crime," it will be some
what difficult to amend the law without
discriminating as to the character OF
crime that it is intended detectives shall
investigate.
Major Moore was asked this morning as
to the changes likely to- be made, to reach
the desired end, and he said the matter
had not been yet referred to him. The
amendment, however, was something that
would have tn be thought out. He could
not designate the lines in which it was
desired to change the manual.
The Commissioners say they have not yet
taken up the subject, but from what was
said it is inferred that their intention
is to prohibit the detectives from having
anything 10 do with misdemeaBors.
In other words, that their duties shall be
confined to the detection and prevention
OF crimes of greater gravity than that in
which Proctor was employed.

There has been a dinlinution rather than
an increase in the death rate for the period

The total number of deaths reported for

preceding week the aggregate was one
hundred and fifteen.
The Health Officer does not anticipate
a very great difference in the rate until
possible results of the hot wave are mani
tested. The coming of the promised cool
weather may prevent an increased death
rate.
