was utterly unable to think of the names
Of the girl he was to marry in a few
hours The obliging clerk told him that

The First Bicycle Teas

Bicycle luncheons and bicycle teas Of
delightfully."- Bohemian character are

ments. Almost daily there are parties
of girls and women-sometimes the

pleasures of long. rural ride, and then
round out the excursion by an informal
luncheon or tea at the home of one of the

A luncheon Of this kind was given
Tuesday by Mrs. William r. Anderson,

BuDD WAS RESENTFUL
AT STATEMENTS MADE BY PFoF.
HILoARD
# the State Printing Office Is Closed
There'll Be New Printer
Very Soon

SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-At the
meeting of the regents Of the state uni
versity today Gov. Budd gave notice
that he would offer resolution at the
next meeting to the effect that all war;
rants drawn for university purposes be
signed by the president Of the univer-
sity, and secretary Of the board, as the
duties Of his office as governor fire.
quently required his absence from the
board meetings.
A communication was read from
Prof. Hilgard, in charge of the forestry
station, complaining that he was har-
assed by inability to get printing done
at the state printing Office.
Governor Budd spoke very pointediy
and feelingly to the issue raised. He
said that no printing Of anything but
school books ehould be done at the
state printing office after July Z.
He declared, however. that up to that
date all such printing as referred to
could be performed there. In regard to
Prof. Hilgard's statement that the
state printing office was closed. Gov
ernor Budd said the office was not
closed, and could not be.
"If 1t is closed inside of ninety days. /"
said he, Il will see that we have a new
state printer. You know that I will do
that, Go you not, Judge Waymire?"
II do not doubt" said Judge wey-
mire. that you are capable Of doing
that"
The governor further said that Prof.
Hilgard, If he had known ''ae much as
he ought to-" would have been aware
of the conditions.
The governor was very resentful Of
what he declared was an attempt to
make 1t appear that the state printing
Office was hampered. when such was
not the case. He further stated that the
university could, at any time and all
times, print whatever was necessary for
its work.
The salary of DR.. Martin Kellogg,
president of the university, was fixed at
$4,000. For some years the president has
been drawing $4,000. the extra $4,000 being
allowed for the entertainment of visi-
tors. The governor and regents thought
entertainment could be neglected in
hard times.
The same reason was given as a rea-
son for reducing the salary of Edward
S. Holden, director of the Lick obsera-
tory, from $4,000 to $4,000.

LABBY RETRACTS
His Irresponsible Friend Refused to
Testify

LONDON, May 25.-Henry Labou-
chere has withdrawn the allegations he
made rejecting upon DR.. Rutherford
Harric. Cape Town Secretary of the
British Chartered South, Africa Com
pany, in the matter of alleged stock job
bing in connection with the Jameson
raid in December, 1895.
In letter which was read to the par
liamentary committee of inquiry today
Mr.. Labouchere said that the allegations
he had made were based upon the
authority of q person presumed to be
conversant with the facts, with the pre-
vious assurance of that person that he
was ready to testify to their veracity,
but that this person had objected to
testifying. In view of this fact Mr..
Labouchere wrote that he withdrew from
the most unqalified manner the allega-
tions made against DR.. Harris and apol-
ogizing for making the statement in the
house of commons OF which DR.. Harris

Reduced Apportioument Consequent
Upon slovenly Work-The Gain
In Population

Tha school census Of Los Angeles
county has been completed and the re-
ports are all on file In the Office of the
superintendent Of schools. These re-
turns show gross carelessness in two
localities, and the superintendent is at
work to see II the errors cannot be corr
rected.
In the city Of Pomona last year there
were 1884 census children, while thls
year the returns show only 1888. loss
Of 246, which will cause loss of about
$500 the coming year in the apportion-
ment of that city.
The attention Of the superintendent
/. has been called to the loss in San Fer
nando district, where last year there
were 1877 census children, while this year
the report only shows 100 such children.
Unless this error is corrected, that dis
trict will receive only little more than
half the public money 1t should receive.
The first report from Pasadena show
ed a heavy loss, but a supplemental re-
port corrected the error and that oity
now shows a gain of n children.
lue CITY VI AOb <AuSCiSo oho"o u o~iAs
OF 27O5. while the county outside of the
city shows gain of only 3SS. II the err
ors in Pomona and San Fernando were
corrected this outside gain would
amount to about 700
1t is claimed that the census Is mainly
taken during Fiesta week and that some
of the losses are accounted for on the
ground that whole families went into
the city for the week and were there
fore lost at home in the enumeration.
If this is so. Is 1t not possible that the
city gains what the country loses?
There are 129 districts in the county.
There was a gain in 50 of these and a
loss in 39 There were new districts
and in districts there was neither loss
nor gain.
The population Of the county, as
shown by this census. Is 1901, as
against 101, ,454 according to the federal
census of 1890, a gain of 71617 in seven
years. If the errors were corrected in
San Fernando and Pomona the gain
would be about 1900 more, or total gain
in population Of about $4,000. This gain
Is larger than the entire population Of
Southern California In 1880. which at
that date was only 64,378.

ton brought against Ira Lowe, who is 81
years old, by his wife, Adeline, who is
his senior by q dozen years. She had
him arraigned before Magistrate Cornell

| Lowe said that his wife did the propos-
| ing and conveyed to him one-half in
tereet in two houses in Brooklyn, left her
by husband No. 1.
| Lowe said his wife did this before he
would marry her. She led him to believe,
he asserts. during their courtship, that
she had only three children.
| As soon as the ceremony was over he
said he was surrounded by nine-five
girls and four boys-who called him
Papa"
'The oldest was young man. almost
my own age" said Lowe, and when
looked at him in amazement my newly
made wife admitted that they were all
her children by the deceased Rothgie-
sen."
| The Loves lived together but two
months. Lowe then started on life OF
enjoyment on the money he secured by
the marriage.
| 1t resulted in the wife causing his ar
rest and arraignment twenty-four times
Judge Pryor, in the supreme court, de-
cided against her in a suit she brought
to recover the property she had convey.
ed to him. The judge decided that she
had bought and paid for the husband.
Mrs. Lowe then brought suit for alb
solute divorce in the supreme court
which is still pending.
II don't want a divorce from Lowe ]

Judge, I've conveyed back to her
every interest I had left in the property
in order to be released from all further
liabilities" Lowe said, tears coursine
down his face. II haven't cent left, ]

clothes) how poorly am dressed"

again?" then asked the magistrate.
What! Live with that woman again
Not on your life. You don't know her
She is tartar, IL there ever was one
She will never pull me around again by

other departments may get an increase

There Is no basis for the assumption
other than the belief of the men, and
the fact that cuts occurred about the
same time as those at the tube works.

ever, augurs well for better times
