The nose Is such prominent feature
that II IL apt to suffer severely when
there Is anything OF a "smash.up," and
II accordingly happens that surgical
skill is very frequently called upon to
patch up broken noses, and sometimes
even to plant a nose where there IL
none, says London Answers. One case,
likely TO be known as "the blaekblrd
case" Is recorded from the London
Free Hospital. A servant girl was

BLAMED ON THE BIKE.

q Judge in the Quarter Sessions
Coprt In Philadelphia day or two ago
made a remarkable statement regarding
the part which the bicycle plays IN the
cases which come before him. lie said
that at least one.thlrd Of the business In
his court ls made up by persons who were
led astray by the wheel. The particular
Instance which called out the remark
was that Of young man who forged
the name Of his employer to a check
for over $50 for the purpose Of buying
a wheel. The clerk will be obliged to
spend nine months In prison to pay for
the pleasure he got from hi, lll.gotten
bicycle. The contention OF the Judge
had the eorrobora,lon from the owner
Of the store In which the young man
had worked. lie said he could sit at his
window and count dozens Of persons
riding merrllly past who owed him for
grocery bills. This indictment, how.
ever, is not reflection upon the wheel
itself Once In while a person IL
found so inordlnately fond Of books
tina, he will resort to dishonest means
for obtaining them. Yet no one would
say that books are responsible for crime.
The fact !s that the fascination OF
the wheel IL so great that young people
especially cannot resist the temptation
to buy. whether they can afford to do 40
or not. The subject affords an excellent
text for preaching the old.fashioned
doctrine Of living within ones means.

In treating catarrh successfully the
physician encounters many obstacles
First, he must discover the location OF
the trouble. Then he must know from
practical experience what medicines will
nnord relief, and lastly, but by no means
least, he must know how TO apply the
medicine directly to the affected parts.
Some doctors try burning and cautcriIing

A WISE IDEA

The Council Of the Federation of La
Dor is to be commended for discounten-
ancing the labor convention that was
to have been held in Chicago next Mon
day, to take measures in aid of the
miners strike, and to offset the sweep
ing powers Of the courts in granting in
functions in defiance of popular rights
during labor disputes.
The council points out that the strike
is over. A great many families Of the
miners, however, are destitute. and the
council truthfully says that the expenses
of holding labor convention might bet
ter be used to relieve the necessities OF
the men and women who have just
passed through a terrible ten weeks
struggle. Although the miners have re-
turned to work 1t will be some time be-
fore they can recover from the effects of
their enforced idleness.
If the suggestion OF the council is fol-
lowed the money that will thus be made
available will be put where 1t will do the
most good. The convention can be held
some other time.

San Pedro's Harbor

Attorney General McKenna has given
the expected decision with reference to
the prompt expenditure of the San Pedro
harbor appropriation. Congress was
specific In the amount Of money 1t was
going to spend on the construction of a
breakwater to protect the harbor Of
refuge, but until Secretary Alger raised
doubts nobody supposed that it was in
tended that the present appropriation
should pay for the whole work, but that
it should go for the inner harbor, or for
wharves and piers for private or corpo-
rate use. Secretary Alger's affected
fear on this point has been justly criti-
cised.
Congress knew what 1t was doing. The
several boards of engineers appointed TO
investigate knew what they were doing.
The only official with power to obstruct
who did not seem to know what he was
doing was the secretary of war.
Attorney McKenna's opinion
is clear. The only thing to be done now
at government expense is to build the
breakwater and dredge the main chan
mel to twenty-five feet. Other i'm
provemerts, such as wharves and piers,
must be made at private expense.
Mr.. Huntington's tricks have come to
their end. AS he kept an anchor to
windward through all the Santa Monica
contention by holding on with death-like
grip to his water frontage in that re-
gior, he is not wholly desolate. Mr..
Huntington is going to swim in San Pc

UNREASONABLE GAMBLERS

It begins to look as If it would soon be
a question whether the Chinese gamb-
lers and their attorneys will permit the
courts Of the city to exist. Not that the
courts-particularly the police courts
are source Of serious danger to the
Mongolian lottery shops; the latter
seem to have concluded to get after
them on general principles, and as
revenge for the courts having had the
temerity to annoy them.
The Chinese lottery men have raised
IA very nice distinction. The whole
matter was ventilated at length In
Thursday mornings Herald. If the con-
tention holds that there are no city
justices and that the burden and re-
sponsibility Of the justice courts fails
upon the country Justices the lottery
men, may find that they have fallen out
Of the cold frying pan into hot fire.
For it is impossible to conceive of a
township Justices giving the gamblers
more favorable treatment than they
have received in this city. in. one Of the
| justice courts, in particular.
| If the Mongolans and their lawyers
succeed in wiping out the justice courts,
| they will no doubt proceed to knock out
| the foundation from beneath the higher
courts There need be no limit to their
vaulting ambition.
| 1t s perhaps, little significant that
| the suit already begun, by the gamblers
| is directed against the justice in whose
court they have come off second best.
Must this persecution Of the justices
go on? Cannot the gamblers content
themselves with getting off scott free,
with having their cases tried before
juries picked up by a venire served
| in an hours time? Can't they take the
| juries to a saloon and celebrate with
them the verdict Of acquittal, as was
done with a job-lot jury gathered in to
serve in Justice Morrison's court, and
call it square? Really the Chinese
gamblers ought to be more reasonable,

THE HORTICULTURAL CoNVEN-
TIONS

The Herald prints elsewhere in today's
paper the call issued by the executive
committee Of the state board of horti-
culture for the holding OF the next
State Fruit Growers convention at
Sacramento in November next, and for
a convention of the fruit growers Of the
state, to be held in Los Angeles and
other points in. Southern California in
March of next year.
The holding Of the latter convention
at different points will give the del
egates and visitors fine opportunity
to see the various fruit growing Sec
tons while attending the session of the
convention.
Some very important subjects will be
discussed at the Sacramento conven-
ton, and there should be large attend
ance from Southern California. The
market problem will be considered in
all it's phases.
