While Offering the women of the
Methodist denomination our condo
lences on their defeat on the question
of admitting the sex to the general
conference, we must congratulate
them on their splendid fight and their
virtual victory. There were more than
ten thousand votes cast and they only
lacked fifty of winning the neces-
sary two-thirds to make their admis-
sion legal. We hope they will not
grow discouraged but will keep up the
fight until they win. In spite of st.
Paul's injunction we believe the
women have right to be heard in the
churches-especially in the govern
ment of the church. They probably
contribute as largely, if not more so,
than the men, and every one knows
that there are ten women workers in
every church to one man. Justice is
on their side and they will get it some
day.-AnsOni0 Sentinel

The SCORCHER.-H the young men
who seek to turn streets into race
tracks, on which they may make and
break records, are not careful, an indig-
nant population may rise up and put
a stop to ''scOrching". Because an in
dulgent public has permitted the
scorcher to ride at twO-minute clip
through the streets he must not CON
stltute himself a privileged character
simply because he was one when bicy-
cles were novelties and wheelmen few.
The most Indifferent observer read
lily perceives that the bicyclers who
hang their heads over their front
wheels and pedal recklessly and with
selfish disregard over the public streets
form but a small percentage of the
whole number of the men and women
who ride wheels. Yet one scorcher
can spoil days outing for thousands
OF persons on wheels. The ordinary
bicycler is content to go at moderate
gait, enjoying his ride and others ia
enjoy theirs by observing the rules OF
the road. The scorcher, however, de-
mands the right of way, irrespective of
the wishes and inclinations of the
great majority of those who wheel.
The scOrcher has been voted an un.
mltigated nuisance by certain bicycle
clubs, and these clubs, organized fol
the purpose of developing and popular.
lzlng the sport of bicycling, should
take this matter of scOrchine in hand
confine it to its proper places, and
earn the gratitude of the tens of thou
sands of bicyclers who ride for health
and pleasure. - HORkers Statesman.

Changes Recommended to Secure Prompt
Trial of Criminals
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Ryland B. Wal
lace, the San Francisco member of the
commission for the revision and reform of
law, said today that as soon as Judge Bald
win of Stockton was we'll enough the COM
mission would begin holding it's daily
sessions. Heretofore all the sessions Of the
commission have been held in Sacramento,
but they were SO poorly attended by the
members of the bar that the commissioners
thought it best to hold the others in this
city, where there were more lawyers who
took an interest in the reformation of the
law.
Mr.. Wallace said that the penal code
had about been completed. The only
sweeping change which would interest the
public was relative to the disposition of
capital cases on appeal. Now about five
months are wasted in every murder trial
on account of the vast amount of printing
that has to be done to get the case on ap-
system which the conan ssioners will
recommend to the next legislature the only
document of any length W. t',i will have to
go up to the supreme court will be copy
of the official stenographeI's notes, which
he has to send to the governor anyhow.
That can be accomplished without any I'M
necessary or even extra expense, and save
about five months. This rule the commits
sioners would have applied only in cases
involving capital punishment.

MRS. BADDIN IS LOCATED
Detectives Declare Mesdames Davidson

DR.. Brown is Severely Criticized for Refusing
to Allow Charges Against Him to
be Investigated

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Mrs. Mary A..
Davidson says that the mysterious Mrs.
Baddin, who she declares forced her to act
the part of an intermediary in the attempt
20 eXtort $4,000 from Rev. DR.. Brown,
has been found. She saws she gave care
full description of the woman to her attor-
ney and that Mrs. Baddin has been To-
Gated and will be produced in court as a
witness for the defense.
Detectives who are working on the case
do not regard Mrs. Davdson's story about
Mrs. Baddin as true. They declare that
Mrs. Baddin is myth employed by Mrs.
Davidson in the furtherance of her designs
upon DR.. Brown, and that the real Mrs.
Baddin is Mrs. Davidson herself.
DR.. Brown is being severely criticised in
some quarters because his counsel will rot
permit any inquiry into the truth or falsity
of the scandal connecting his name with
that of Miss Overman. DR.. Brown from
his pulpit last Sunday asked his friends to
suspend judgment un'il he could have an
opportunity of clearing himself in court.
Now it is proposed to limit the inquiry to
Mrs. Davidson's attempt to extort money
from the clergyman and to her acceptance
of $500 from him. There is much talk of
his probable resignation from the pastor
ate OF the First Congregational church, but
DR.. Brown refuses to outline his future.
His friends say he recently received calls
from churches in Philadelphia and Pitts
burg and from Talmage's former church in
Brooklyn. Mrs. Davidson's trial in the
police court goes on tomorrow.

A profound sensation has been caused by
the arrest OF General Lopez, once the pres
ident Of Venezuela, in the time of Guzman
Bianco. The arrest was made, it was said,
by discovery of revolutionary correspond
ence involving the latter.
English capitalists, it is reported, have
approached Guzman Blanco to stir up a re-
bellion here.
Among others arrested are Gen. Gonzales
Guiana, chief of police under Guzman
Blanco; Domingo Carbajal, revolutionary
chief n the time of President Pafacio; the
Par dez brothers and Valencia. President
Crespo is determined to suppress the move
ment mt any cost. The militia has been
enrolled but not armed yet, and probably
will rot be until everything is quiet.
Next Sunday President Crespo will issue
printed address to the people of Vene-
zuela, giving the actual position of the gov
ernment in the Guiana question, express
ing the gratitude OF the nation to President
Cleveland in his attitude in upholding the
Monroe doctrine, so necessary to the
maintenance of the independence of the
southern republics. and urging the people
to bury political discord and and present a
solid front to the English invader. At the

THE BOARD OF EXAMINERS
Considers the Condition of the State
Institutions
Secretary Scott Thinks State Property Sho uId
Not Be Turned Over-Matters at
the FoundIings' Home

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 3.-The state board of
examiners today referred to the attorney
general communication from Winfield
Scott, secretary of the defunct vlticultural
commission, in which he holds that the act
providing for the transfer of the property
lately in the possession of the commission
is void because it violates the provisions of
article ", section %, of the constitution
of the state. After calling attention to the
appropriation OF $4,000 for the use of the
regents of the state university for complet-
ing the unfinished work of the commission,
he says it is easily apparent from read
ing of the title of the act that there is no
reference therein to any appropriations for
the uses of the regents.
DIR. Ruggles, president of the state board
of health, who investigated the charges
against the home for foundlings in this
city, preferred by DR.. Waggoner of this
city, submitted his report. He finds that
the institution is cleanly kept and that the
inmates are not underfed. Concerning the
allegation of great mortality, DIR. Ruggles
says he is surprised the institution has
done so well. The mortality was 53 per
cent of the admissions, but he says that
when it is considered that a great majority
of these are of degraded, dssipated and
diseased origin, it does not seem so strange.
DR.. Ruggles concludes his report as fol-
lows:
Very strong inferential evidence was pro-
duced to sustain the allegations as to i'm
morality among the inmates. These
charges are of very serious nature and if
sustained, should receive very severe con-
demnation. The evidence is somewhat
conflic ing, but enough is shown to place
some of the inmates in very compromis-
ing situation.
"There seems to be very peculiar con-
dition attached to This institution 1t is,
nominally, a foundlings' home, yet really
an orphan asylum, with inmates of all
ages up to thirteen years. If it be really a
home for foundlings. my opinion is that no
children over five or six years should he
admitted and those already there, over
that age, should be transferred to the
regularly organized orphan asylum. Or, if
this plan of organization is to be continued,
then a system OF most rigid discipline
should be Immediately adopted, so bat a
complete, perfect and positive separation
of sexes should be main aimed and no pos
sibility of a recurrence of what is the foun-
dation of this allegation"
The secretary of the board of examiners
was directed 10 obtain the number of pay
inmates in all the state institutions.
