PITY the Poor ostriches

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: I read in the Herald of June 23d
a notice of the Lutheran annual picnic
held at the ostrich farm, from which
quote the following: "A most delight
full time was had by every one except
perhaps the strange birds in the corrals
which were ridden by boys and hunted
by dogs for the general amusement. :
1 would like to ask how 1t can be that we
are a civilized and enlightened nation
and at the same time so demoralized
that we delight in such cruel amuse-
ment, for which, in my estimation, a
savage should be reproved and taught

between American diplomacy and that

Buy a Box, and See

When Los Angeles took a census and
reported that she had 100000 people, the
Enquirer never raised question, but
it puts strain upon our credulity when
a paper of that city reports that the
orchardists no longer place the bigges:
oranges on top in the boxes, but distrib-
ute the fruit equally throughout
"Deaconing" is what the placing of the
big fruit on top is called, and fruit

something of the bimetallic commission

Hawaii Means Cuba

The annexation of Hawaii means the
annexation of Cuba. The logic of one
situation is the logic of the other. The
two cases are in all respects on all
fours. Thus we will have in a few years
another weak link in the long chain of
national defense We will have another
territory to protect, one full of an alien
people, foreign to our manners, laws

THE STAR-EYED WATTERSON

self as follows:

crossbones of anarchy and reputation,

The San Bernardino Free Press takes
the Budd- White story all too seriously.
The fable that Governor Budd was
shaping things to capture Whites seat
in the senate was started in the Repub-
lican camp; it went up like rocket and
came down like stick. Nevertheless
the estimate that the Free Press has
made of Senator Whites popularity and
the confidence with which his con stitu-
ents regard him is, we believe, perfectly
correct Steve White need not fear the
undercurrent working against him, "
says the Free Press. There is, as far as
we know, no such undercurrent, but if
there was "Our Steve" would be su-
peror to it.

Sensible
Nursing Bottle.

The common, everyday nurs-
ing bottle is built on a poor plan.
1t has but one opening. Through
this the milk is admitted, and
from it, through a nipple, the
child struggles to get it out. The
law of physics cannot be ignored
even in so simple thing as a
nursing bottle. The vacuum left
by the milk must be filled. The
nipple collapses, and to relieve
this the child stops feeding for
moment. Air rushes into the
bottle. The child starts feeding
again, and repeats the perform
ance until the contents are taken.
The "Best Nurser" is made on
a novel plan. A valve in the
bottom of the bottle admits air
as the contents are taken. The
child feeds easily, without any
danger of wind collie; no collaps-
ing nipple, no worrying, crying
infant. Price % cents. =

MARK HANNA'S DOUBLE.
Barber Peterson Kept Busy Explain.
ing to the People That He is
Not the Senator.

Washington, July 5-Senator Mark Han
ma has a living oppelganger. His name is
Carl o. T. Peterson and he is a barber on
Fifteenth street. Their facial and bodily
resemblance is remarkable.
If Peterson had devoted hours to ''mak-
ing up as Hanna he could net have done
the job any better than nature has done.
Repeatedly since the inauguration Peter
son has been accosted on the street by
office seekers who mistake him for Sena-
tor Hanna. The climax was reached the
other night when Secretary of State John
Sherman came up to Peterson and shook
hands with him, calling him Mark and at
once launched into the discussion of some
question of state. In the hope of destroy
ing the resemblance the modest barber
has shaved off his side whiskers.

workmen as well as on the product of

Again he was deliberately frank and

Yes, that is a. very reasonable prop
osition, and 1 think you will agree with

rection. We could not cut off immi-
grafton altogether. That would not be
advisable; but we are gradually find

views on the new woman, when Sen
atOr P1att was announced, and, of
course. that settled it. The interview
was concluded.
Neither the expression of the face nor
the general manner of the man carry
out the suggestion of sternness given in
pictures. President Mckinley is a man
of remarkable magnetic power When
he grasps your hand the magnetic force
is apparent Immediately. He does and
appears like a person who has warm
blood in his veins, who is emotional and
impulsive, though he does not give the
impression of remarkable Individuality
and force which expected.

M'KINLEY's QUIET SUNDAY.
! President Attends Church in Canton
| Accompanied by His Mother.

Canton, O., July 5.-Canton respected
President McKinley's request that he
be permitted to pass a quiet Sunday.
While many of his old neighborS and
fellow toWnsmen called at the home Of
his aged mother to pay their respects,
there was no formality about his So
journ in the city, and he and the friends
with him were permitted to pass the
time pleasantly and as restfully as the
intense heat of the day would permit.
But in spite of the humidity, the CHM
ing of the church belsl found the pres
ident vending his way to the first M.
E. church, of which congregation he is
still a director. The president was ac-
companied to the Services by his VEN
cradle mother, and they were driven
to the church in the modest family car
riage by James Mckinley, the presi-
dents nephew.
After the services the members of the
congregation gathered around the pres
ident and his mother by the score, ex-
tending greetings to them and many
shaking hands with the president Mrs.
Mckinley did not attend church, but
spent the day at the home of the presi-
dents mother and with her own rela-
tives. About noon the president and
Mrs. Mckinley went to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G. Barber, the latter
Mrs. McKinley's sister, for dinner, and
they spent part of the afternoon with
relatives.

cided that cavalry tactics wouldn't work

WOMAN HEALER'S POWER.
Creates Great Excitement at Tomb
stone Among Mexicans.


Tombstone, Ariz., July 5.-There passed
through this city yesterday a woman of
about 80 years of age of Oriental cast of
features, dressed in the garb resembling
that in which Murillo clothed his pictures
of the Madonna, who has given extra
ordinary evidences of miraculously cur
ing human ills. Several truthful persons
in this vicinity testify to her wonderful
powers and many remarkable stories of
her cures have gained circulation here.
The woman speaks with a strange for
eign accent and VouchsafeS no further in
formation of herself than that she was
born in the far east and is now making a
religious pilgrimage of the world. She is
very intelligent and upon due provoca-
ton she relates historical occurrences of
a century and further back with an &C
curacy of detail that fills one with won
der if not with credulity.
One of the most remarkable cures re-
lated of her concerns a Mexican who lives
on the outskirts of this city. He has been
afflicted for many years with a crippled
knee, the result of an injury received in
youth, and has walked only with the use
of crutches. The woman is said to have
simply passed her palms over the injured
limb whereupon the Mexican experienced
instant relief, a relaxing of the drawn
muscles and the ability to stand erect
without his crutches. In a short time he
was able to walk and is now entirely heal
ed.
MANY more instances of this strange
woman's power are cited and the Mexican
inhabitants believe she is saint She
steadily refuses all remuneration for her
cures and will accept nothing but food
and a nights lodging.

TREES CAUSE ILLNESS.
Gloucester Citizens Complain and the
Offenders Will be Cut Down.

Gloucester, N. J., July 5.-Inspector
Healy at the last meeting of the board of
health reported that complaints have been
made of the offensive odors and conse-
quent nausea from ta1low trees. A gen.
eral discussion arose as to the board s
legal right to remove these trees or to
compel property owners having them on
their land to remove them.
Complaints from persons who have been
made sick were heard and then a resoIu-
ton was adopted referring the matter to
the city council, which will probably take
immediate steps to cut them down and
remove long-standing grievance.
These trees at this season throw out a
pollen that flies everywhere and causes
the most distressing headaches.
