ANOTHER HOLD-UP
A Newspaper Man Relieved of Six
Dollars

The highwaymen that are at present
infesting certain parts of the city don't
seem to have proper conception of the
eternal fitness of things One of the
band was presumptuous enough to hold
up a newspaper man last night, and re-
lieved him of six or seven dollars in
change.
AS j. w. Elliott, a reporter on The
Herald staff, was returning to his resi-
dence, 1919 South Flower street, last
night at 10 O'clock he was accosted by a
short, thickset man, who thrust a re-
volver into his face and demanded his
money Elliott did not have a gun with
him, but attempted to parley with the
knight of the road. The interview took
place just opposite Apple & Sons gro
Ger store, at the corner of Tenth and
Hope streets. The fellow, according to
Elliott's account, was apparently a
greenhorn at the business and some
what nervous. Nevertheless he kept the
pistol so persistently and accurately
poised that the newspaper man deter
mined that discretion was the better
part of valor and emptied his pockets.
Elliott congratulates himself, however,
on the fact that he was able to josh the
fellow out of relieving him of his watch
1t is suggested that any newspaper
man who has six dollars in his pockets
at this period of the week deserves to be
robbed.
The matter was reported to the police.

COUNTY TAX RATE
The Probability That It Will Be
Increased

Last year the tax rate for Los Angeles
county was S1.10, but the probabilities
are all in favor of the rate being IN
creased during the next fiscal year.
The assessment shows very gratify-
ing increase of about $2,50o,00O in round
numbers but the county's expenses have
increased in a greater ratio. Not only
are the schools and the roads demanding
larger appointments, but the recent de-
cision of the supreme court makes OBJ
ligatory a cash payment of $4,000 due
for boys and girls sent to the reform
school from this county, which has here
tofore refused to bear the expense and
attempted to throw it upon the state.
In view Of these conditions it is quite
probable that the next levy will be about
81 %

An Entertaining Afternoon
of Short Stories
THE RECOGNITION EXERCISES
CLOSING CEREMONIES OF THE
ASSEMBLY TODAY
Address by Bishop Fallows-Miss
Benfy Will Give Another After
noon of Recitation

1t was learned by advices received yes
terday at the Long Beach Chautauqua
assembly that the cause of Professor
SeymourS failure to keep his engage
ment here was the sudden death of his
wife. He received the sad news on Fri
day morning at Forest Grove, as he was
about to leave for Long Beach, and at
once left for his home in Tacoma, Wash.
In the Bible class that opened the ex-
ercises yesterday morning Mr.. Blake
ley impressed upon his hearers the i'm
portance of the home training of child
rem and of the necessity at all times of
high ideals, instancing the devotion and
courage of the early Christians in pro-
noting the interest of the people,
DR.. Wright, continuing the lessons in
the New Testament, dealt with the
scenes in the garden of Gethsemane, the
trial of Christ before PLATE; the death
and burial; the resurrection and the
period spent on earth when he appeared
to his deciples, and finally the ascension
into heaven.
The class in Old Testament study, by
Rev. c. p. Dorland, discussed the sub
ject of prophecy and it's relation to the
development of religious ideas in Israel
Prophecy, said the speaker, does not
necessarily imply prediction. 1t is only
an incident. The true scope of prophecy
is to set forth the truth in any FORM it
is not foretelling so much as forth telling
All prophecy is to be interpreted in the
light of the times in which it was given
taking into conSidera ton the mental and
moral condition of the people addressed,
the historical situation, the needs of the
people, the character of the speaker, the
evils spoken against and the ideas or
teaching sought to be enforced 1t is
a perversion of Scripture to read our
ideas with the text and say that is the
true Interpretation. There is a growth
and development in prophecy just as
there is development in the ideas of
God from the simple conceptions of
wandering nomadic tribes to an estab-
lished kingdom with a complicated ritual
and temple service from Journalism to
the full manifestation of the love and fell
lowship of God toward his children and
toward all humanity as seen in the face
of Jesus Christ. Through all the ages
God has been manifesting himself, at the
first by outward signs by lightning and
thunder, by dreams and visions, by sac
rifice, by his voice, by inspiration in the
hearts of holy men who spake as God 9
spirit moved upon them, until in the
fullness of time he was fully manifested
in the teaching, the love, the life, the
service, the sacrifice, death and resur-
rection of Jesus Christ

Afternoon Session

There was large audience assembled
in the pavilion in the afternoon when
Prof. Fillmore announced the program
for the musical prelude, preceding Miss
Benfy's third appearance in recitation.
The program included the following Sc
lections: Songs, For All Eternity"
Mascherone; 1.-THE Robin" Neidlinger;
Sweetheart" Lynes, by Miss Olive NJ
Hill of Chicago; piano solo, Shepherds
All and Maidens Fair" Miss Kate Con-
dit; songs, Marguerite So Fair" Mac
farlane; "Slumber Song" Newcomb;
Jennie" Northrup. by Miss Hill
The vocal soloist, Miss Olive Hill, is
one of the visitors accompanying the
Christian Endeavor excursionists and is
spending her vacation in Southern Cali
fornia. She has a clear, sweet soprano
voice that has been we'll trained. The
high notes are somewhat faulty and
there is lack of expression, but Miss Hill
is quite young with years before her to
overcome failings that may be largely
attributable to embarrassment in ap-
pearing the first time before a strange
audience.
Miss Benny was formerly resident of
California and was graduated from the
State University at Berkeley, but has
resided in New York for the past ten
years. The object of her visit to the
coast at present is to fill engagements at
the various Chautauqua assemblys.
On her previous appearances here, she
took her audience by storm and her af-
ternoon of short stories, given yesterday,
was no less enjoyable than her former
selections from Shakespeare and Victor
Hugo, nor was it less enthusiastically
received
The first was Mary E. wilkins Gre
volt of Mother" 1t was told so sympa-
theticalhy in tone and manner that the
audience applauded loudly when
mother" took possession of the barn
and Adoniran, yielding to the inevitable,
concluded to put on the windows
and DOORS"
Rudyard Kipling's Ellis Majesty the
King" H. C. Burners "a Sisterly
Scheme" and "The Round Up" 1.-The
Boy Orator" by r. H. Davis; Ruth Nc
Emery Stewards "a Christmas Guest"
Miss Wilkins "a Lover Of Flowers and
my Sons Courtship," made up the af-
ternoon's excellent entertainment the
audience crying, laughing and applaud
ing alternately. Miss Benfy enters so
heartily into the spirit of her stories
that tears frequently start from her
eyes and she seems to feel all the emo
tons of the characters she portrays.
She has been secured for an entertain
ment on Saturday evening in the pa
vilion, which will be her last appear
ance here.
This morning promptly at 10 o'clock
the graduating class will meet at the
hall and march in procession to the pa
vilion for the recognition exercises.
There will be held responsive service
after which the Chautauqua story will
be told by Mrs. Harriet A. Newell This
will be followed by an address by Bishop
Fallows, and presentation of diplomas
by President S. H. Weller.
In the afternoon there will be dra-
matte readings given by Miss Benfy, thu
assembly closing in the evening with O

rection Of Harley Hamilton.

A PHILosoPHIC DEFENDANT
Sebastian Dumller Will Work His
Fine Out Until Tired

Sebastian Dumller is of a philosophic
turn of mind and believes in turning the
misfortunes of life to such advantage
as he can.
He was tried at Lancaster on Wednes-
Gay in the Justices court on the charge
Of malicious mischief" in having shot
and killed a horse at West Palmdale
belonging to one Max Fevergeon. Dep
uty District Attorney Willis prosecuted
the case, and it appeared that some
horses belonging to the prosecuting wit
ness annoyed Dumller by escaping from
the pasture where they were confined
and trenching upon his preserves. On
the day of the shooting these estrays
came ganoping up to Dumller's fence.
and he stated that he thought they were
going to break the fence down, and in
light of that imagining of his he was
under the impression that he was justi-
fled in killing the animal The jury
found that his impression was all wrong,
but in finding him guilty recommended
him to the mercy of the court
In proceeding to assess the damage
Justice McCracken didn't strain the
mercy of the court at all, for Dumller was
fined 800, with the alternative of 100
days in the county Jail. The defendant
came to Jail in quite complacent frame
of mind and stated that he would put
as much time in at 81 day as he could
stand, and when he got tired of the close
confinement he could pay the balance
Of the fine. Anyway, 81 per day was not
a wage to be sneezed at round about
Lancaster. If it should so happen, how
ever, that Dumller feels called upon to
shoot another horse he will do SO within
the city limits, for there, by a curiosity
of the law, he can work his fine out in
Jail at the rate of 81 per day instead
of 81, as at present.

A SASSY FRUIT
Placed Before Jury Yesterday for
Examination

AS an aid to the jury in assisting it to
arrive at a conclusion regarding the
value of the land in dispute, in the suit
of Carrie Ford and Professor Clark
against Bushard & Mesmen a guam
tity of oranges were brought into de-
partment six yesterday. Judge Allen.
as well as the jurors, handled the fruit
in a rather knowing way, but no one was
bold enough to sample it.
The fruit was not enticing, and looked
dried up and withered, but notwith-
standing the fact when the plaintiffs
rested their case the defense proceeded
to show that the fruit, being grown on
the Ford land, was of an excellent va
riety, and would have yielded a bounti-
full crop if ii had been properly attended
to.
An orange broker became quite en-
thusiastic while giving his testimony re-
garding what he termed the "Ho-
mosa sse orange"-the principal variety
that he discovered growing at the Ford
place. He gave the pedigree of the Ho-
mosa sse fruit from the time it grew on
the banks of the river of that name in
Florida until the buds were brought to
California and used for budding pur-
!. poses. He noticed scattered through
the grove a few navels and Mediter-
ranean Sweets, but the majority of the
trees were of this Homosasse kind. Ac-
cording to the witness this orange is
sweet and luscious, and with small
seeds.
1t appeared to be the contention, in
deed, of the defense that this brand of
orange is quite as valuable as the navel,
for the reason that the trees are
in full bearing a time when the navels
are not.
The further hearing will be continued
today

The Tax on Intelligence

The poor but Industrious parents of
this country who are struggling almost
hopelessly to educate their children will
find the task harder and the burden
heavier when the new tariff law, which
puts a tax on books, goes into effect.
But it must be remembered that the
party of culture has right to take lib
critics with the literature of the country,
and if it chooses to put tax on irttelli-
gence nobody ought to complain.-Kan-
