added, happiness and Trelawny's ad-

his feelings oward that gentleman.
Mamie tossed her head and Will
rushed round the table to remove the
first flown he had ever seen on the fore
head Of his beloved.
Nasty people," she said, rubbing
her cheek against Wills like one young
donkey browsing affectionately against
another. why can't they stop away?

something or other didn't happen! Yon

she said, land take the housekeeper to
see what is wanted. It's to be hoped
there are plenty of card tables anyway"
Compton came in with hot dish,

he would shoot that day, then fell into
low spirits and declared Mamie was a
little beast to drive him away and re-
minded her that firearms sometimes

a lot Of berries sure to attract attention.
1t is called the Logan" and is hybrid
produced by crossing the red raspberry
with the blackberry The Logan is
larger than any excepting the very
largest blackberry and is a deep dark
red color. The flavor is very grateful
to the palate and the fruit is free from
seed. 1t is a vigorous grower, Mr. Bris-
tol having a vine which trained over
lattice work has made a total growth
of 300 feet in season. 1t Is a prolific
bearing shrub for the three months of
May, June and July, and produces small
er quantities sporadically all the way
along to December
1t was raspberry day at the cham
Der, for in addition to the Logan Mrs
II. H. Daniels Of Pomona sent in a big
shrub covered with fruit of the perpet-
ual bearing raspberry. The vine is lit

Makes the Sea Her Home

zone of the most eccentric visitors
to this city," said man whose business
makes it necessary to go to London sew
eral times year, lis an elderly English
woman who has been passenger on
the Lucania every trip that this boat
has made. L came across on the Lu-
cania not long ago, and one of the of1-
GERS called my attention to this woman
and told me what he knew about her.
She looked as if she might be 60 years
old. She dressed quietly in black, and
there was nothing in her actions to at
tract any attention.
"Theofficer who pointed her out to me
said that she was English, and that her
friends had made many unsuccessful
attempts to keep her ashore. Appar-
emily she has money of her own, and In
order to throw her relatives off the track
she books her passage under different
name on every trip. She enjoys the sea,
and the Lucania is her special fad. She
makes very few acquaintances. and I
don't believe that any of the officers
know much about her history When she
reaches New York she knows that her
rela tives can't bother her, and she goes
ashore and waits for the ships sailing
day. 1t would greatly surprise the Of
ficers of the Lucania now to find after
they had pulled out of port that this
mysterious woman was not on board"

THE PEOPLE REST
Evidence fo- tie Prosecution in the White
Murder Examinatio All L.

AS far as the prosecution is concerned
the preliminary examination of Harry
Hezekiah and William Van Horne was
closed yesterday at noon. The hearing
was resumed at $50 where it had been
left off on Monday last and Sergeant
Gus Smith and Officer Talamantes were
recalled to the stand, being the last wit
nesses examined.
Their testimony corroborated that Of
Detective Goodman as regards the state
ments made by Van Horne and Hezc-
kiah the night of their arrest. They
were also present when the shoes taken
from Hezekiah's feet We're fitted to the
footprints in the dust of Chavez street,
and told of how exactly they correspond
ed in size and outline with the telltale
tracks. At the conclusion of their ex-
animation Mr. James announced that
the people rested.

on the ground of insufficient evidence.
This motion will be argued at length by
both sides at 9 o'clock this morning, to

REGISTER AT ONCE
No Registration Can Be Hade for the Comm &
Election After Augu,t 10

ELECTION AIteT AuXutt 10
The attention of voters is called to the
fact that registration closes on the 10th
of August, and all not on the Great Reg
lister will be debarred from the privil-
ege of exercising the elective franchise
at the coming presidential election. The
old register is Cancelled, and every one
must register again in order to vote.
If a voter moves to another precinct he
must be transferred on the register at
the courthouse by or before October 9Th,
so that his name may appear in the
proper printed precinct register
Strange as it may seem, quite num-
Der of property owners are refusing to
register to escape jury duty, and in
other cases citizens are refusing to reg
lister in the belief that by so doing they
can escape the payment of the poll tax.
This latter presumption is erroneous, as
all citizens are liable for the poll tax,
whether they are on the Great Register
or not
No one can register after August 10th,
and to facilitate matters voters can reg
lister either at the city hall or the county
courthouse until that time.

Chandler said he was knocked down

could give no description of his assail-

Robbins last evening went to the drug
store at the corner of Temple and Spring

There was a lively fracas on trolley
car in Los Angeles recently, the details
of which never got into print. AS the car
was passing the corner of Pico street a,
young lady hailed the conductor and
went into the car seating herself quiet
ly. Just after the car was starting one
of two young men standing on the plat
form, whom she had passed as she enter
ed the car, made an offensive remark.
coupled with the insinuation that he
knew the appointment which she was
going to keep. Quick as flash the other
hit straight out from the shoulder and
knocked the offending speaker off the
car, following him up and trouncing him
soundly. 1t was all over in less than a
minute, and the manly young fellow
managed to catch the car before 1t had
gone a block leaving the well-whlpped
gentleman CD behind to repair damages.
The writer of this, wishing to learn the
reason for this sudden outbreak of hos
tilities, asked what the trouble was
about, not having heard the remarks
passed. The young fellow, a well-known
insurance clerk, repeated what he alone
had heard adding that he did not know
the unconscious cause of the trouble, Dur
did not care who or what she was, as he
had sisters who frequently were forced
to travel alone, and thought it his duty
to thrash any scoundrel who would lower
himself to the level of starting or re-
peating a scandal about any woman.
1t was manly act, modestly done. Its
a pity there are not more such as the
young man who honored his sisters.
The most cowardly act in the world Is
for a man to malign the character of a.
woman, either by direct assertion or In
snuation. There are some such in every
community, Ventura forming no excep-
ton TO the rule. The word spoken care
lessly often does untold harm. Fewer
such words would be spoken If there
were more young men who honored their
mothers and their sisters and women IN
