How an Old Map of Jekyl Was Found
in London Bookstore.
The Jekyl Island club has just come
into possession of a priceless relic,
through the generosity of Mr.. Ayres,
of Chicago, one of the present sojourn-
ers at the club house.
The relic is map of Jekyl and St
Simon Island, bearing date of 1740,
made by an engineer of the British
government, and showing the location
of elaborate Notifications projected by
Great Britain in that year. The for
tifications, as shown were to be erected
on the present site of the lighthouse
on st. Simon, and on the point of
Jekyl overlooking the sea channel
The map is literally inscribed with
descriptions of the island, and is beau
tIfully done in colors.
Mr.. Ayres found the map in an old
bookstore In London, and purchased
it at once. He has presented it to the
Jekyl Island club, and it now hangs
in large frame IN the interior of the
clubhouse.

Lizzie Hood Tries to Kill a Peddler
With Shotgun.
Joseph Mylove, well known ped
dler, owes his life partly to his ability
as a dodger and partly to the proxim-
ity of his wagon at an interesting
moment on Friday night.
Mylove, who sells drygoods, notions,
etc. to the negroes who live in the
country adjacent to Brunswick, went
to the house of Lizzie Hood, colored,
at the three-mile crossing, on Friday
night to secure settlement of an ac-
count. A dispute ensued between
Mylove and the woman.
AS the peddler left the house, start
ing toward his wagon, the woman
fired at him with a double -barreled
shotgun. The load missed Mylove,
who lodged behind his wagon just as
the woman discharged the other bar
rel. The load lodged in the wagon.

ing it properly prepared under the di-
rection of a competent landscape gard

the most famous palms of the world is
a native of Southern California-the
common fan palm being found in vast
quantities in the canyons and along the
desert, especially in San Diego and Riv
erside counties. 1t first attracted the at
tention of botanists in 1850, and within the
past twenty years great quantities of this
palm have been cultivated along the
Mediterranean, at Nice and other points,
and its graceful, spreading habit of
growth makes it universally admired.
OF all our shade trees we have none

a forest of them in the new Griffith park

become one of the principal attractions
of Southern California.

A PARK SUGGESTION

The continuously growing Importance
of Los Angeles az a tourist resort in
creases the necessity for the creation
here of something original and striking
which shall interest this class of peo-
pie after they reach the city In some
European resorts there are art CALLER
les and museums, containing specimens
Of the work of noted artists, which en-
tertain and enlighten visitors, and
which serve as rallying grounds for the
meeting of parties of friends. In the
nature to attract and hold travellers,
and the cities near them find these
things of wonderful value in yielding
a revenue and in building up trade
Los Angeles is not yet such an art
center as to make it possible to gather
here such collection of art, on canvas
or in marble, as to be worthy of ranking
with similar collections in other Amer
lean or European cities. We can hardly
hope to erect here anything striking in
architecture to compare with ST. Pc
ter's or Westminster Abbey. We have
near the city, it is true, some wonders
of nature which of themselves are
worthy a long visit to see. but these are
mainly our proximity of ocean and
mountain, found in no other we'll set
tied and civilized land on the globe, and
giving us some wonders of climate not
to be found elsewhere in the world; and
it is this popularity of climate which
we should take advantage of to create
here something unique, striking and
characteristic.
The recent presentation to the city of
a princely tract of land by a philan-
thropic citizen and the acceptance by the
city of Griffith park affords the op-
portunity to do something, at a moder-
ate cost, which would make Los An
geles famous as q resort for tourists,

THE SUNDAY HER AID

The Sunday Herald of tomorrow, the l4th
inst. will prove to be of exceptional value
and interest throughout.
The fullest news of the day by telegraph
with special cable letters from London and
Berlin, will be presented in pithy and at
tractive form, while all local events will,
as usual. be faithfully and graphically re-
corded.
An exhaustive account of the oil lndus-
try, fully illustrated, shedding an entirely
new light and undeceiving the minds of
many on the subject, will be in the nature
of a somewhat startling revelation. The
article is, supported by irrefutable facts
and figures and will prove of invaluable
interest to every citizen that has the true
welfare of Los Angeles at heart
Many interesting articles by well-known
writers on live topics of the day will in
sure several pleasant and instructive
hours reading.
Among such will he an interview with the
greatest living hypnotst. What he says
about women and their lack of susceptible
ty to this influence is something not gem
orally known.
New York society girls have discovered
two new amusements; the first, indulsing
in Japanese luncheens at which they ar
ray themselves in the brilliant Suso Moyo
and other embellishments of the enchant-
ing mousme the second, which is likely to
prove a somewhat dangerous pastme, is
reading character in the eye. At the Jap
anese luncheons men are tabooed, but a.
the eye-reading games they are naturally
essential. Both these fads are dealt with
in very attractively written and illustrated
articles.
A recent discovery of a French engineer
by which submerged vessels can be sue
cessfully raised cannot fail to arouse in
terest in the scientific world and is lucidly
explained for The Herald.
There will be special illustrated articles
"for the gentler SEX" including New Y York
letter dealing with the latest foibles Of
fashion.
Forest Conditions in California is the
suggestive title of an article by Abbot Kin
ney.
Judge Enoch Knight contributes care
full and critical literary review, dealing
with the latest and best publications, and
the other regular Sunday features on the
Drama of the Day and Music and Musicians
will render The Sunday Herald in every
way a complete and very attractive modern
newspaper.

PROBLEM THE UNEMPLOYED

The conference between committees OF
the Chamber of Commerce and Mer
chants and Manufa cturers' association
and members of the city council, which
took place last Thursday opens ques-
tion of vital interest. To provide q
means of living for the unemployed is a
problem which the public must solve in
some form; and while the humane idea
IL predominant, the question of ways
and means and the protection of society
should also be we'll considered. 1t is
not a tolerable condition that men,
unhoused, unclothed or left to starve in
land of plenty like ours. 1t is not good
be reduced to such straits that in order
to exc out living they must beg upon

Against q Cut In Wages

To the editor of The Los Angeles Her.
aid: l and my husband and children
have been in this city over two years.
| notice in The Herald the wrangling
of the council over the proposition to
cut in two the wages of the laboring
men employed by the city. Why did
they not include all of the enormously
paid officials employed by the city?
Or rather, would it not have been much
more humane and Christian to have cut
in two the officials salaries and let the
poor mans scanty pay remain?
My husband is labOring man, and
the small pay he is able to get, and the
few days work he is able to secure
during the month scarcely is sufficient
to buy bread to keep our family from
a starving condition. Is this city and
the government of the United States re-
solved to reduce the population to the
lowest state of serfdom? Please give
these few lines place in your paper.

In vetoing the printing deficiency bill,
Governor Budd not only saved the STATE
a whole lot of money, but so set the
Republican members the one against the
other that more necessity for the veto
is likely to be revealed than was thought
to exist. Johnston, the public printer,
has given emphasis to the hatred which
the Republicans entertain for the gov
ernor for vetoing the bill by discharging
twenty-eight Democrat and Populist
employees Of the printing establishment.
The governor is very willing to approve
bill that would provide for proper
appropriation, but he will not permit the
contemplated extravaganza.

One of the petty ills which the prop

is of triflng value, but greater evils grow
from lesser ones, and unless this is

THE SITUATION IN CUBA

There is no reason to doubt that Gen.
eral-in-Chief Gomez has issued an ulti-
matum to the effect that nothing short
of the independence of the Cuban repub-
lie will be considered as the price OF
peace. General Gomez has had a good
deal of experience with Madrid promises
of reforms in the government of Cuba,
and he has no reason to believe that the
proposed autonomy would be established
in good faith. The revolution of 1868
1878 was brought to close under prom
ises of Spain to materially better the
political and commercial condition Of
the people, and Gomez warmly favored
the proposition; but Spain broke every
agreement, and the Cubans believe it
would be done again under like condi-
tions.
For many years prier to the present
revolution, Spain relied upon Cuba for
an annual revenue of $25 900, 900. in addi-
tion to the islands providing for the in
terest on its debt and the expense Of
maintaining the local government. AS
a business proposition, therefore. Spain
may be expected to exhaust every means
to retain possession Of Cuba, the more
so, perhaps, that the debt of the island
is now fully s400 ,O0o, 900 with Spain as
security Should the Cubans succeed in
establishing government it would
deny responsibility for any and all debts
incurred by Spain. measure it would
have to adopt to protect holders of bonds
issued to carry on the revolution. A
good many of such bonds have already
been floated in the United States and
Europe; besides, Gomez and his con-
freres regard these bonds as debt Of
honor, and that any kind of peace that
contemplated their repudiation should
not be considered moment.
There is feature of the Cuban war
stood in Spain nor in this country,
though it is known in Havana military
circles. Weyler and his staff have never
been anxious to put down the rebellion,
even If they could. until they had feath-
cred their nests. 1t is said that the army
payroll bears the names of several thou
sand dead soldiers, and that their wages
are drawn regularly by the ring" and
distributed among it's members. 1t is
said that Weyler has made fully $30oo,-
900 from doctored payrolls and contracts
for supplies. All these things are known
to Gomez, and they only stimulate him
to renewed efforts to win the independ-
ence of his people. He knows that Wey-
ler's methods indirectly help the cause
for which the Cubans are fighting.
