Getting Away From Care.

So far from being crazy CT even eccen-
trio, that Mrs. Carson who spent the
last 10 years CT her life journeying back
ard forth ccross the ocean was Il of
the ssnest Of women. From all the wor-
RIGS ard frets of housekeeping, house.
cleaning, house repairing and tax pay
ing she was delivered. She had no vex.
atoms with slovenly or dishonest scrv-
ants; SIZE had no family quarrels and 10
fashionable callers. Month after month,
year after year, winter and summer.
rain CT shine, Mrs. Carson followed the
fortunes Of the big CunarGer Lueania
fron the time it was launched till she
died, never missing a trip.
Whatever cares or sorrows she ever
had she buried in the shining depths Of
the sweet, green sea. Its foam capped
waves rocked her TO sleep at night, its
fresh, electric breezes ~quickened her
pulses by day. No wonder she loved the
sea, shining, glorious, ever changing.
What were fashionable receptions and
the jargon of society and conventionality
to the grandeur, the everlasting peace
and joy old ocean bestowed OF her year
after year! No wonder the judges whom
her son-in-law e%ndeavored to have pro-
nounce her insane refused 10 do go, but
aid she had u right to spend her W
money as she pleased, wen though she
had paid out $3.50, 900 Of it making
trips across the ocean in the Lucania-
Mrs. Carson not only showed good
sense ana sanity and judgment; she
showed remarkably good taste as well.
The earnest, prayerful and fruitful

Sam Jones styles it. Furthermore, II
Rev. Sam Jones should succeed in in
ducing Colonel Ingersoll to accept his
challenge to discuss Christianity, the
contrast between the pure English OF
the agnostic and the slang Of the ex-
gambler and drunkard would be SO dis
tressing that the debate certainly could
not rebound greatly to the glory OF
Christian doctrines. Let Rev. Sam

WAS UNSKILLED
And Therefore Wants $25, 900 From
an Electric COMPANY

Thomas Tedford claims that he Is not
a skilled laborer and he wants $25, 900 of
the Los Angeles Electric company
money on that account. Tedford worked
for the company about three months
previous to April l, 1895, in various ca
pacities, such as driving a wagon, dig
ging holes for poles and the like, all of
which was unskilled labor, for which
he was paid accordingly.
On that date, however, Tedford was
sent by the foreman over him to scrape
and clean an electric wire connected
with the converter at the top of
pole At the time the wire was strong
ly charged with current of electricity
and while engaged in his work Tedford's
face touched one of the wires and COM
pleted the circuit between his hand and
face, as result of which he received a
severe shock and was thrown backward
to the ground, a distance of eighteen
feet, and knocked unconscious.
In the fall his skull was fractured and
one of his legs broken. He was confined
to his bed for five months and will prob
ably never fully recover from his injur-
les. He has now sued the company for
200 damages, and the case was on
trial before jury in Judge Aliens court
yesterday. 1t was attempted to prove
that the foreman acted carelessly and
negligently in sending Tedford, who
he knew was an unskilled laborer to do
work which should have been done by
skilled hand. 1t will probably take
two or three days to finish the case.

WILL KEEP HER CHILD
Mrs. Austin Need Not Give Up Her
Little Boy

II will not be necessary for little Paul
RAYMOND Mohler to leave the tenoer
care of his mother and the congenlai cli-
mate of Southern California to be taken
back to his father, at least not for the
present. The lad and his mother were IN
court early yesterday morning, accom-
panied by W. f. Arthur, the attorney
who had been employed to fight the
habeas corpus proceedings. and all were
ready for the battle. The matter was
taken up before Judge Van Dyke.
Mr.. Davis appeared for the father and
nresented the order of the Minnesota
court and asked that an order be made
here sustaining the order and placing
the child in the custody of the father.
According to the order the father and
mother are to have charge of little Paul
turn about for six months at time. Mr..
Mohler's turn was to have begun with
the 1st of February but Mrs. Austin fled
from the state, taking her child along.
Mr.. Arthur contended that Mrs. Aus
tin was now out of the jurisdiction OF
the Minnesota court and was not sub
ject to the order The matter was finally
decided by Judge Van Dyke dismissing
the habeas corpus proceedings on the
for the child before bringing the case
| into court
Mr.. Davis contended that there had
been no opportunity for Mohler to make
| a demand for the child, as it had been
| taken out of the state before his turn
had come. When the decision had been
| given Mrs. Austin pressed her boy to
her bosom and looked the happiest wo-
| man in all the world
1t now appears that if Mohler wants
| to take his six months turn at caring for
| his son he will have to come here and
make a personal demand upon Mrs.
Austin for little Paul. BY the time this
can be done his six months turn will
| have almost expired.
| Mrs. Dobbins, who was so recently
connected with the habeas corpus pro-
| ceeding over little baby Malcolm Nc
Kinley Smith, was in the court room ano
| heartily congratulated Mrs. Austin or
the outcome of the hearing.

FOR ONE CENT A POUND
Republican Executive COMMITTEES
Adopts Resolution

| At a meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Republican county central
committee yesterday morning the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
/ adopted and copy ordered transmitted
to Senator Perkins at Washington for
his use in the citrus tariff debate. The
resolution was offered by Bradner w.
Lee, and adopted without dissent:
Whereas, The ways and means COM
| mittee of the house of representatives
recommended a duty of three-fourths
of cent per pound on citrus fruits, and
their recommendation was accepted by
the house and Incorporated in the
''Dingley'' BILL which it passed; and
! whereas, the said matter is now pend
ing before the United States senate; and
whereas. many foreign countries. like
Russia. Austria, Sweden and others
countries where no citrus fruit is raised
have placed higher duty on oranges
than the American grower asks in order
to enable him to compete with the for
eign shipper. while nearly all the coun-
tries of Europe have a duty on citrus
fruits greater than the United States
have heretofore demanded; and whereas,
1t has been practically demonstrated that
citrus fruits grown within the United
States cannot be profitably marketed
in competition with foreign grown fruits
without a protective tariff of at least l
cent per pound; and whereas, one Of
the chief industries of California is
the growing of citrus fruits, and 1t ap-
pears and has been demonstrated that
if this industry is not protected by law
imposing tariff on all foreign citrus
fruits of at least l cent per pound, that
the California industry in this
behalf is liable to be utterly de-
stroyed; and whereas, during
the last presidential campaign one
Of the chief arguments to induce sup
port of the Republican candidate for
president was that his election would
insure a protective tariff on American
industries, which argument induced
many patriotic citizens of the state of
California, irrespective of previous party
affiliations, to actively support the Re-
publican candidate, with the hope and
relying upon the fact that a Republi
can administration would carry out its
pledges in this behalf. and thereby pro-
tective tariff would be adopted which
would insure the profitable raising and
sale of California fruits, and particu-
larly of. citrus fruits; and whereas in
our belief these pledges repeatedly made
should be faithfully kept. and American
industries protected at every hazard.
and the good faith of the Republican
party thereby demonstrated; now there
fore be it
Resolved That the Hon. George c.
Perkins, United States senator from
California. be and he is hereby request
ed to devote his best energies and ac-
tive labor in behalf of a tariff duty on
all foreign citrus fruits of at least
cent per pound. and upon all other Cali
fornia fruits in an amount in proportion
thereto

famous citizens meeting where johnson

while a mob of excited people waited
outside for developments.
Mr.. Tupper, counsel for the plaintiff
was full of dramatic energy. He is

has manner OF putting the most unpar-

Mr.. Church is wholly different. He is
slow and methodical. He has the air Oh
a college professor and he uses his pencil
constantly, as if he was grading the VIII
nesses and averaging their percentages.
But there was nothing new brought
out in the trial. The judge looked weary,
the jury, too, and even the evangelist
seemed dropping and suffering with en-

locking pensively into futurity. Nothing
new was developed save the fact that
the case must be concluded in time for
the third suit, which must be commenced
