AS illustrating how far the imagina-
ton will operate to control the physi-
cal, it is related that in New York
City last week an epidemic Of hysteria
visited several of the public schools.
1t began with the statement of a little
girl in one of the schools that she had
seen the devil. During the day and
for a week nearly many of the girls in
the schools, frightened by the story,
were seized with hysterical convul-
sions and delusions of visions of evil
spirits. Such is the effect Of supersti-
ton and imagination upon the youth

frequently permit the freedom con-

mitted no firing Of explosives what

crowds no firearms or explosives. They
too greatly endanger those who are
massed in public places on such occa-

to disturb the enjoyment Of the exer-
cises by those who wish to see and to
hear. For the first time in several
years the literary exercises are to be
held out of doors, and this time in the
heart of the city. 1t is therefore espe-
cially necessary that during these exer-
cises there should be no use of ex-
plosives in the Plaza or it's vicinity.
The people should feel that there is
every possible inducement for them to
assemble on the Plaza and listen to the
reading of the Declaration, the music of
the occasion and the Grafton that is to
be delivered by chosen visitor. They
cannot we'll enjoy these patriotic exer-
cises unless good order and quiet is

has failed to comply with the state law
requiring the designation of an agent
upon whom process may be served, in
the office of the secretary of state at
Sacramento, further alleges that on the
18th of June, 1895, the defendant sent

Francisco, June 1S.-Attorney Blanton
Duncan of Los Angeles has filed an ap-
peal from Judge Ross decision against
him in his $4,000 libel suit against the
Southern Pacific and Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad companies. The
case grew out of dispute about rebate
claimed by Duncan on the companies
charges for shipping household goods.
The companies asserted that Duncan
had perjured himself in statements
made to the interstate commerce COM
mission" Plaintiff alleges that the said
telegram is false and defamatory, for
the reason that he never instituted suit
against the Southern Pacific company,
and that it was understood by j. l..
Young, |. Il. Messmore and others to
mean that plaintiff had committed per-
jury, and that the company had assert
ed that plaintiff had perjured himself

defamatory, for the reason that he never
instituted a libel suit against the COM
pany named. and that it was understood
by j. e. Young, I. f. Messmore and
others to mean. among other things,
that plaintiff had committed perjury be-
fore the interstate railroad commission.

Can Fire Hydrants Be Used
for Street Sprinkling?
A SUIT BY THE WATER co.
To Have This Important Question
Settled by the Courts
Two More Libel Suits Filed by Col. BIanton
Duncan-The Scott Electric Franz
chise Sustained

The Los Angeles City Water company
has at last concluded to test in the
courts the right of the city to use the
fire hydrantS for the purpose of hllinS
the -sprinkling wagons, Il matter
which has been talked of more or less
for several years past The initiatory
step was taken by the water company
yesterday by the filing of suit against
Capt John Cross, who has the street.
eprinkling contract, and the city OF Los
Angeles, asking for $4,000 damages and
further that the defendants be forever
enjoined from making any use OF the 1lre
hydrants except for the protection of
the citizens and their property against
fire and for eXtinguishing fires that may
occur in the city.
The plaintiff sets forth its agreement
or lease made with the city on the 10th
of july 1868, under the terms of which
it was to erect and keep in repair fire
hydrantS and furnish water for the same
free of charge. as we'll as for the public
municipal institutions. 1t is claimed that
the terms of the contract have been
faithfully carried out and that. as the
city has grown they have put in the hy-
drants as required, until there are now
more than 400 in service. Plaintiff fur
ther alleges that the defendant John
Cross, at the instigation of the city, is
now and has for more than year past
been using these fire hydrants for sprnk-
ling purposes. which use is vastly in eX-
cess Of all the uses of the hydrants Tor
fire purposes, and increased the cost TO
plaintiff of keeping the same in repair
to more than $4,000 per annum. The
plaintiff alleges. further, that the ny
drants are greatly damaged by their use
for sprinkling purposes. for all of which
damages and permanent injunction is
asked

WEBSTER CLUB ENTERTAINMENT
Pleasant Affair at the Normal School Friday
Evening

The Webster club of the Normal school
gave one of its enjoyable entertain
ments in the auditorium of the school
building Friday evening. There was
large and appreciatiVe audience pfeSehl
and the affair was one of the pleasant
est ever given by the organization.
Before the presentation OF the main
feature of the evening tWo-act com
edy, The Old Story, d very dellShtlul
musical program was rendered uhder
the direction of Mrs. Juliet Powell Rlce.
The Normal orchestra opened the pro-
gram with a selection from Erminie.
Then followed d song, The Bridge, by
the Webster club quartet, composed OF
Messrs. Hill, Tanning, Shoemaker, ana

tily enjoyed by all The entire club
then Joined in giving The way They DO
in Washington. The next mum ber was
a song medley, The Whipporwill by the
Webster quartet La Paloma by the or
chestra concluded the musical portion
of the entertainment.
The Old Story was given with the fol-
lowing cast of characters: WaVerly
Brown (bachelor), Mr.. Bryon Radham;

Capt. Kootoo (unattached), Mr.. William

Every one of the characters was well
sustained and several were especially
commendable. The humor of the piece
could not have been better brought out
than it was by the very clever acting of
Miss Mae Bosbyshell as Fritters, Miss
Ruth Martin as the spinster, and Will
lam Gastrich as Captain Kootoo. Miss
Dow and Mr.. Bruce Wright also ac-
quilted themselves with great credit.
The entire piece was presented with
dash seldom seen in amateur perform

ceived the warmest of applause for their
successful effort.

premises, the most that can be said
against it's action is that it was erron-
eous and not an act in excess of its Jur-
isdiction. In neither case is certiorari
the proper remedy"
The supreme court has decided IN
Thompson VS.. Board, above cited, that
the council was absolutely obliged 10
award this franchise to the highest oid-
der, to the person who offered the high
est price in money, and that conditional
bids or bids offering things other than
money could not be considered. There
fore the council had power in this mat
ter to act in ministerial capacity only.
Certiorari is not the proper remedy for
the correction of such errors.
The conclusion necessarily follows
that the facts set forth in the petition
are not sufficient to Justify the granting
of the relief prayed for. The defend
ants demurrer to the petition should be
sustained and the proceedings dis
missed. 1t will be so ordered.

INFLAMMATION OF THE BRAIN
Cause Of The Death of Maurice de Lopatecki
Nafini.e civ Determined

An inquest was yesterday held on the
body of Maurice de Lopatecki, the eX-
lied Pole who died in the receiving hos
ptal on Friday afternoon. DR.. Bryant
made the post mortem examination, by
which it was asccrtained that death had
resulted from Inflammation of the brain.
The disease had been coming on for
some time and was undoubtedly the
cause of the listlessness and apathy
which had been displayed for some time
and was evidenced by his lying asleep
or in a partial stupor for about twenty
hours out of the day. A verdict of death
from natural causes was rendered by
the jury. The body will be held for bur
ial until Monday in the hope of hearing
from some of LOpatecki's relatives in
Poland. Deceased was possessed of a
small property out on Temple street,
which will be taken charge of by the
