BY vote of 16 to IA adjournment was
taken till $3.50 P. NJ. on Monday. Sem
ator Carter cast the deciding vote.
There was no debate on the question

When Smiths name was called he said
he would stay till Monday, but did not
want it understood that he would stay

After the result was announced Reed
asked the president if the senate was

Smith then moved to reconsider the

Mondays session Of the joint conven-
tion developed nothing new. Chair
man Borwnell called the joint assembly
to order at 10 O'Clock. He at once sub
mitted letters from Vaughan, Hudson
and Wagner. They were not read, but
the clerk was directed to mark them
excused.
The roll was called and showed the
following thirty-three in attendance:

unnecessary. Representative Venness,

from his home, whittier he went Fri

Reed remained in the senate chamber
during the entire time the convention
was in session. 1t is not known that
his absence indicated an intention to
stay out hereafter. There were no

he is alive on this earth; nor would he

the sacred institution. Forgiveness is

HER SHOE FOR A BRAKE

Perhaps Andrews Was to Blame

The son Of well-known Providence

The young man was naturally crest

he went about his work with such ambi-

in the coveted place. He went home
very proud, indeed. It was great news.
The lawyer contemplated his son for
a few minutes in silence; then, with a
shrug of his shoulders, he remarked:

NEW PACEMAKER FOR THE BICYCLE
EARL REYNOLDS AND BICYCLE SKATES EsTABLIeH
A BRAND NEW RECoRD-MARvELous
BURSTS SPEED

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Will the BIZ
cycle skate force the bicycle itself into
second place? Thousands Of wheelmen
in and about New York, and I suppose
throughout the country, are wonder
ing If the race between Earl Reynolds
and his skates and Charles ]. Fox on
his bicycle is indicative of new era for
the wheel.
People who ought to know say that
the chances are We will go back to first
principles to a certain extent-that is,
skating will resume its old-time popular
ity. The new era seems to be that Of a
new combination roller and bicycle
skate. One thing seems to be settled be-
yond question, and that is that all
things being equal, it is possible to make
greater speed on a bicycle skate than on
an ordinary wheel Experiments of this
sort in Europe have demonstrated the
truth of the above assertion. H. S.
Siefke, European expert in the art of
bicycle skating, is now visiting this
country with a view Of possible engage

Los Angeles Methods

The California Fruit Grower presents
two samples Of the foresight, energy and
persistence which characterize Los An
geles in her reaching out for increased
population and wealth. The Los An
geles chamber Of commerce, 1t says, or
the men who direct its affairs, evidently
believe that many of the men who have
gone to the Klondike country will soon
er or later return with wealth. That is
the class that the residents of Los Ange-
les, or at least its business men, desire to
settle among them, and eff certain
plan which has been evolved is carried
out every steamer and ever boat which
starts for Juneau, Dyea or other Alas
kan ports will carry large supply OF
reading matter in which will be set forth
the advantages Of Southern California
generally and Los Angeles in particular
as places in which to live. Such litera-
ture will come in handy to the miner in
his weary winter nights. He will read
it over and over again, and in the course
of few months he will have memorized
every word. When the cleanup comes
and he washes out a few millions of mug
gets he will come south from the Arctic
circle resolved upon spending the rest CT
his days in gentlemanly retirement amid
the charms of the country south of the
Tehachepi."
There was another illustration Of Los
Angeles enterprise upon the visit of
Congressman Hooker of New York to
this state. The residents of Los Angeles
are naturally anxious to have operations
begun on San Pedro harbor, for the con-
struction of which they succeeded at the
last session of congress in obtaining
a large appropriation. Some obstruction
has been placed in the way of the i'm
mediate application of the appropria-
tion, and when Congressman Hooker,
who Is chairman of the river and harbor
committee of the house, visited Los An
geles leading citizens invited him to
meet them in the chamber Of comm cree
building. He failed to be pre- sent and a
committee of citizsns was sent to his
hotel to bring him over. They came
back with him triumphantly, he couldn't
get away, and so he made brief speech
in which he declared that he would ex-
ert himself in behalf of the harbor i'm
provement. That declaration. was what
they were after. and they persisted until
they got it.

LAS I neared the end OF the quarter
mile which marked the finish Of the
course for me I heard the people shout
and shout all the louder. Do you.know
that I felt a deadly fear when heard
those shouts? It seemed to mo then
that it must be the other fellow who was
gaining on me. 1t flashed through my
mind what a ridiculous thing 1t was for
a man on skates to hope to beat an ex-
pert wheelman. Still Fox did not come
up with me. Another second and the
distance between me and the end had
lessened almost one-half.
II pulled myself together for one grand
finish. l made up my mind that would
make a record right then and there or

An intoxicated sailor climbed UP one

The sailor was John Hansen. When

the time he reached the roadbed several
hundred persons stood below him.
Soon the sailors head appeared above
the rails and he calmly seated himself

Do not cut books except with proper

Do not turn the leaves Of books down.
Particularly do not turn down the leaves
of books printed on plate paper.
1t is better to give book than to

Never write upon title page or half
