Frenchmen With German Decorations.
Vanity rises superior to patriotism.
and no matter how bitter the feeling may
be in France against the invaders of 1870,
there are numerous Frenchmen, not
merely civilians and diplomats, but even
officers of the army, who have accepted
decorations and orders Of knlghthood from
the Emperor of Germany and from the
rulers OF Bavaria, Saxony. Wurtemberg
and Baden. A few such as, for instance,
the late EN- mbassador Herbette at Berlin,
have declined distinctions of this kind
rendered to them, but their action was.
as they themselves explained, due TO the
fact that the orders were not of sufficient
rank to accord with their ideas OF their
own importance. Several of the prede-
cessors of Embassador Herbette at Berlin
gladly accepted the Star of the Black
Eagle on leaving Berlin, and it would be
difficult to find any French diplomat
who has been stationed at any German
court whose breast is not adorned with
some Teutonic decoration. Under the
circumstances, the statement contained
in the cable dispatches to the effect th at
DIR. Roux is the first Frenchman to have
accepted German order of knighthood
since the war must be regarded as open to
question.-New York Tribune.

CITY BENEFITS
County's Grant to the High School and
the Row at Lincoln Park

1t is not every debtor that is so super
latively honest as to plead guilty to an
Indebtedness before it is charged against
him.; and yet this is just what the county
of Los Angeles has done to the city with
regard to their joint interests in the high
school.
The public schools have been held by
the supreme court to form part of the
school system Of the county, while the
high school is paid for by the city. Bu;
in the high school there is included a
ninth grade, and the county has just ar
rived at conclusion regarding the pro-
portion Of cost that it ought to bear, and
the amount is much in excess of what it
has been in the past.
The number of pupils in the ninth
grade was made the basis of calculation.
and it was found that 700 high school
pupils are in that grade, or twenty-five
teachers The cost of these is figured
out at $2250 per month, as compared
with $164O paid heretofore In, addition
to this, however, the county has con-
sented to pay half of the salaries of the
engineer and janitor employed at the
high school, and altogether there will
be saving to the city of Los Angeles of
$747.50 per month. This will permit, pos
sbly, the extension of the city kinder
garten or Sloyd work, or both.
A cry has come to the county board of
education from Lincoln Park The small
schoolhouse at that point has been
closed, and the children living there
have been compelled to attend the large
school building at South Pasadena. 1t
is contended by the Lincoln Park people
that when it was decided to build a
schoolhouse at South Pasadena their
votes were obtained on distinct under
standing. and promise given, that if
the plan carried the small schoolhouse
then standing on the site of the present
schoolhouse at South Pasadena, should
be moved to Lincoln Park and kept oper.
for the benefit of the people who could
not send their little ones to the larger
school about mile away. On that un-
derstarding all of the Lincoln Park
votes went en- masse in favor of the new
school. True to the promise given, the
old schoolhouse was moved down to
Lincoln Park, and has been kept open
ever since until this year. Now 1t is
closed and as school facilities are at an
end it is claimed that five families have
moved from Lincoln Park and others are
contemplating the same step.
Heretofore this little school has been
handicapped in financial way, but it Is
claimed that y is no such cause that has
prompted the closing of the doors, for a t
the end of the school year there will be
surplus of $500 to 5000, which will have
to be returned ir.o the county treasury
1t is claimed that it is nothing but pure
''cussedness," and, is palpable breach
Of contract, albeit the contract was only
verbal and was never set down on paper.

POLICY HOLDERS
Residents at Monrovia Disturbed at a
Company's Operations

/ Down at Monrovia there is lodge of
| the National Reserve association, of
Kansas City, an assessment insurance
company, that offered what at the time
of the organizati ton were understood to
be very seductive terms. But that was
an understanding of the past, for the
Monrovia lodge of fifty odd members has
been disrupted, and life insurance is at
discount in the lite foothill town.
It appears that some little time ago
Dr. w. O. Wheeler, resident physician
at Monrovia and medical examiner for
the Kansas City company, died He, in
common with a number OF the resid ents
of Monrovia had taken out $4,000 policy
on his life, and had made his wife the
beneficiary. Upon the death of her hus-
band. Mrs. Wheeler made proof to the
insurance company of her husband :
decease, but on one pretext and anothe,
the Kansas City outfit delayed payment
for six months. At the expiration of
that time Mrs. Wheeler received a noti-
fication that the company stood ready
to honor her draft for $930-$1070 less
than the face value of the policy on DR.
Wheeler's life and accompanying this
notification was a copy of the bylaws
of the company with certain sections
pencil marked. One of these was to the
effect that If the beneficiary under pol
icy refrains from getting a settlement
within six months from the date. of the
policy holders decease, suit in law or
equity will not lie. To have the advant-
age Of this clause Mrs. Wheeler's friends
contend that the Kansas City company
deliberately dallied and procrastinated
until the expiration of the six months
limit. so that she might be. compelled to
accept just what the company felt in
clir NJ to pay, having been, under tha
bylaws deprived of her right to pro-
test in the courts.
AS offering some sort of excuse for
the paltry sum offered in place of the
full $4,000, upon which the deceased Dr.
Wheeler had paid up all dues and, assess
ments the following bylaw was scored
very emphatically with pencil marks:
Applicants shall state in their appli
cation the amount of protection desired
and should the total amount received
from one assessment. levied upon the
death of such member, less 25 per cent
of the same for the reserve fund, be in
sufficient to pay the amount called for
shall be all that the said member or his
beneficiaries shall claim or be entitled
to-
Under such rule the longer a policy
holder lived he would, very naturally
have to pay greater number Of assess
ments to meet other policies falling due
and when he himself turned his toes UP
to the daisies he might get back actually
less than he had put into his own policy
The members Of the Monrovia lodge
in view of these facts, and also that sim
liar monkeying over the policy held by
X. H. Wade, late general manager Of tn,
Southern California railroad took place
have come to the determination that this
kind Of thing is not insurance" but las
s'urance." and they are about to disband
and surrender their policies in the Kan
sas City company.

court house have been interested in this

ing to j. w. Amey. Preferring to make
short work of the matter. Manley chose
to enter his plea of guilty rather than
stand trial, and yesterday did so. Being
asked to account for his misdoing, Man.
ley said that at the time he stole the
horse and buggy he was intoxicated.
and gave that as his sole excuse But
Judge Smith refused to accept intoxica-
tion as any excuse for crime, and he
drew from the defendant a confess
sion of the fact that he left Whittier
about eighteen months ago and that iii
the interim he had been concerned in
some other trouble.
1T appears. then" said Judge Smith
that you have taken a higher degree in
crime, and it seems as If you had to
steal. If you were turned loose now
you would go off and steal. It's very
sad, but it's the Judgment Of this court
that you be confined in the states prison
at Folsom for the period of eight years.

hurst Cases-Divorce Mill

"A decision was yesterday rendered in
the old standing suit of M. T. Collins,
W. H Workman. and D. G. Stevens
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
company by Judge Van Dyke. This is
the suit involving the laying of double
track on a certain portion of Alameda
street In which the city of Los Angeles
came in as intervenor, and in which
there has been. the most widespread in
terest
The action was originally brought by
Ex-Governor John G. Dowrey and the
present plaintiffs in November, 1898. 1t
was alleged in the original complaint
that Downey owned I'll feet on the west
ern side Of Alameda street and plaintiff
Collins 70 feet on the eastern side, ard
plaintiffs Workman and Stevens Sc feet
on the eastern side, between Commercial
street and Fourth street, and that the
defendant was about to enter upon sa d
Alameda street between Commercial
ard Fourth for the purpose of construct
ing and laying down thereon another
railroad track ard to run cars over and
upon it, that the said defendant had not,
and never had, any right, power or
privilege to construct or maintain a
double track aloT,g said street between
said points, and had not obtained the
consent of the said plaintiffs as abutting
property owners, and that the construc-
ton of said second track would cause
them damage
THE FIRST ORDER MADE
On the filing of the complaint tenn
porary restraining order was granted as
prayed for and the matter seems to have
slumb bered from that time until the trial
few days ago.
Some time after the action was COM
menced Ex-Governor John G. Downey
died and his administrator, j. Downey
Harvey, being substituted in his place
asked to have the action dismissed as
TO him. and or. March Is, 1887, the action
was dismissed as to him, but not as TO
his co-piaintiffs. Thereafter, and prior
TO the trial, the city was allowed to and,
Gid intervene in the action The allie

tion on the part of the city are substan-
tlally the same as those on the part Of
