you see any signs of Improvement"
Yes. do" replied the Postmaster Gen
eral. I'VE have in the malls the best Of busi-
ness thermometers. Last month the post
office RECEIPTS were four per cent below
the average. This month We are two per
cent above it. The mail of all the large
cities has materially increased. and there
is evidence Of a business revival. This re-
vival has come to stay. 1t will steadily
increase. ] think, and. after the tariff bill
has passed, there will be an improvement
in every quarter. By October an era Of
good times will begin, and it will be an
era which will last for some years to
come"
Then you are in favor of protective
tariff. General Gary?'
Il am, indeed" was the reply. "What
we need Is to make our own goods al
home. We ought to do our own work and
not pay other nations to do it. AS It Is
now We import more than $500 900 600

The two were warm friends. They had
similar tastes, and both came finally 10

same good coTnradeship was maintained
fer so many years. Both were members
Of the Berkeley club. Mr. Palmer in his

largely into the discussions. his wit and
intellectual hospitality were unfailing
contributions, often of more value than
any protracted speech.

more good streets in this city than had
been made by any other association.

SLOYD WORK IN SCHOOLS


The Sloyd work in the Los Angeles
public schools is now fairly established.
Could the patrons of the different build
ings take a peep into the Sloyd closet
where the articles now fashioned by the
pupils are being stored away, they would
be astonished at the number of use
full and beautiful things which are
turned out by the fifteen hundred pupils
who are enrolled in the Sloyd de-
partment a department which was
only made a part Of the regular course
year last September.
Sloyd is as yet only part of the public
school system in a few large cities in
this country, and Los Angeles was quite
fortunate in being able to secure for
the head of her Sloyd work Charles A.
Kunyou one Of the few able instructors
OF Sloyd in the United States.
Los Angeles is, indeed, progressive in
educational lines, for not only did this
year inaugurate the Sloyd work in the
schools, but also the Establishment of
a kindergarten training class in the state
normal school, located here. Both Of
these departments are already filled
with pupils who are learning by doing
and securing by their preparatory train
ing that which fits them for any walk
In life, ard at the same time develops
strength of hand, sensitiveness of
touch and creative faculty fully and

Deputy Constable M-nxer Attacked by Three

Deputy Constable j. w. Menzer had a
lively time yesterday afternoon in the

being attacked without provoca ton by
three men and having his re-
volver stolen, besides being very
roughly handled Menzer had
gone to the place In an endeavor to find
a negro named Thomas Blue, against
whom he had an attachment to serve.
He was talking with the proprietor, when
a half-drunken, burly fellow named
James Murphy lurcned up against him
and pushed him to one side.
Menzer spoke to Murphy, telling him
he was an officer and there On business,
whereat he received a blow in the face
which nearly tioored him. He clinched
with his assailant and pulled his re-
volver, intending to use it as d club
but at this was attacked from behind
by two of Murphy's companions, one of
whom wrenched the weapon from his
hand, while the other hit him behind
the ear. The constable kept mis- grip
on Murphy, who was fighting furiously
and, pulling his handouts. noored the
man with blow over the forehead.
Murphy lost all interest in the pro-
ceedings, and as Menzer turned toward
heels and escaped, carrying with them
the revolver. The patrol wagon was
called and Murphy was sent. to Jail on
a charge of battery. 1t was necessary
to sew up three Jagged wounds in his
scalp where the handouts had struck,
after which he was thrown into a cell
Meantime several other deputies had
started out on a search for the other
men.
After half hours search Deputy Con-
stable Mugremi ran across one of them
named Charles Johnson in a saloon near
First and Main streets and placed him
under arrest. Again fight ensued. and
johnson was only subdued and hand
cuffed after severe struggle, in which
it became necessary to call in the as
sistance of a police officer. Johnson re-
fused to tell where the revolver had been
hidden and was booked ION suspicion" Z"

CHARLES A. KUNCU.
Charles A. Kunou, the head of the
Los Angeles Sloyd department, was last
year connected with the Thrcop Poly
technic institute of Pasadena. He came
from Stockholm in 1887, and was for
seven years engaged in teaching in the
manual training departments of the
state schools of Massachusetts end Con-
necticut. He is considered one OF the
ablest teachers of Sloyd in America. He
is an accomplished gentleman ard a
writer on educational topics.
Sloyd work socn teaches the child
to handle tools. There are torty-f3ven
tools involved in the four years course.
which includes the making of fifteen
different joints. Working drawings are
made by every pupil, and there is free
hand work or modelling with the knife.
The picture presented in the S.oyd
department of the Los Angeles schools
Is tull of interest. The large, well light
ed, well ventilated rooms are fitted I'D
with lines Of work benches. beside which
each child stands. Before each ore is
his working drawing. and his hands
are busy fashioning the article which he
already has in his thought and which
has taken definite form in the drawing
he has made. The care of the tools Is
no small matter. Each one has its
definite place. and each one must be in
order and ready for use daily, as 1t is
required.

A LIFE ENDED

Erip

Frients
Upon Tuesday, February 10th, Mrs.
Annie NJ. Setz ded of neuralgia of the
heart at her home, 1011 South Hill
street. Mrs. Seitz leaves a large num-
Der Of sorrowing friends. for she was
widely known for her beautiful and
noble life, full of philanthropic and
charitable work. Mrs. Seitz, formerly
CT F2ston, Pa, came to Los Angeles ten
years ago. She died at the age Of 73.
but though quite advanced in years she
has, through her niece, Mrs. Lizzie c.,
Black. been prominent in the college,
settlement work, the industrial schools,
tie charity kindergarten and many
other helpful and philanthropic institu-
tions.
No one ever appealed to the lover OF
humanity in vain; her beautiful and
child-liSe simplicity of character, her
tender ard sympathetic nature, and her
many loving and charitable deeds are
known to all those who called her friend.
Mrs. Seitz was a member of the First
M. e. Church, and her work in that or
ganization is well known and will bs
greatly missed now that the generous
hand of this helpful humanitarian Is
cold in death.
The funeral was held at the family
home on Hill street Thursday afternoon
at p. M, Rev. DR.. Wilson officiating.
In his remarks Dr. Wilson paid high
tribute to the quiet and helpful work
which had always characterized the
life of his parishioner, and the great
loss the church sustained in her death.
The many and exquisite floral Offer
ings testified to the love Of friends who
mourned the loss of the one who had
crossed the dark river, and whose life
work was ended.

The continued interest of the pupil must
be secured; his attention and persever-
ance must be cultivated; each exercise
must be performed in a workmanlike
manner and in accordance with the
most approved methods.
In this work the strength and ability
of the pupil is tested, his esthetic,sense
Is cultivated. his body developed, and
the inventive and constructive facul-
ties trained.
If the people of the city of Los Ange-
les realized the great educational value
of this work 1t would not be placed in
only four of the public school buildings,
but it would be in every one. Instead
of fifteen hundred children taking the
course, there would be thousands. But
all things cannot be done in q day and
as time passes and the public exhibi-
tions show the results of Sloyd, it will
be seen how much even the small be-
ginning has accomplished, and the
strength. ability, dexterity, order, dill
gence and other characteristics devel-
oped by the pupils having the advan-
tages of Sloyd, each parent will soon
learn its value and work for it's estab-
lishment throughout all the schools in
the city.

A GOOD CITIZEN GONE
The Death Of Charles 7. II. Palmer, Prom
nent Lawyer of Oakland

-
nent Lawyer of Oakland
The death of Charles 7. II. Palmer
closes the career of a man who had
much to do with the growth and pros
perity of this city. He was known
prominently in business circles where
he was recognized as man of sterling
integrity, enterprise and great executive
ability.
Mr.. Palmer was for some time a stu
dent at Yale college, but engaged in
business before he graduated. He was
man Of classical tastes, a lover of
books, with a good critical judgment of
all matters in book lore. In the midst
Of his pressing business he found time
to read extensively, and aside from
business his associations were with
scholars and men Of culture. Few who
only met him in business relations would
have suspected that the scholar. the
man Of refined literary tastes and poetic
temperament was concealed just be-
meath the exterior of the plodding and
hard working business man.
MT. Palmer was educated for the bar,
but an inf1rmity Of speech prevented
him from engaging in general practice.
He turned his attention to mining soon
after he came to California, and for
many years had a banking house at Fol-
