A man giving his name as ]. c. Ray of
New York, but who is believed by the po-
lice to be F. L. Houston, wanted in Bos-
ton on a serious charge, was arrested yes
terday afternoon by the detectives.
Some time ago Chief McDermott receiv-
ed a circular from Superintendent Ell
dredge of the Boston police force, giving
description of f. l.. Houston, who was
wanted there for the embezzlement of
81, 800 worth of watches and diamonds A
part of Houstons description was that his
right hand was missing, having been cut
off half way to the elbow. Two of the
detectives were in a pawnshop yesterday
when the man, who gives his name as Ray
came in to bargain for the pawning of a
bicycle. He had a wheel on which he
wanted $40 The pawnbroker was a little
doubtful about giving it, but one of the
detectives spoke up and advised him that
1t was worth that amount The pawn
broker accordingly accepted the wheel and
advanced the money.
This led to a conversation and the stran-
ger became quite friendly with the detec-
tives They noticed that his right hand
was missing and that he had an artificial
hand In place Of II. This reminded them
Of the circular received some time before.
They mentioned the matter to Chief Nc
Dermott on their return to the barracks
and he decided to look up the circular.
while he was engaged In looking up the
circular the man under suspicion walked
cd In and introduced himself as J. c. RAY
OF New York He said that he was south
for his health. After some general CON
versation he brought up the subject OF de-
tectlve work and wanted 20 engage with
Chief McDcrmott. saying that he was ac-
qualnted with all the crooks OF
the county Chief McDermott Informed
him that he had no room for another de-
tective at present.
After the fellow had gone Chief Nc
Dermntt found the circular and the de.
scription given there Of Houston tailed ex-
actly with the appearance Of Ray artif-
cial hand and everything Chief McDer-
mott accordingly sent the detectives out
with Instructions 20 pick up Ray and bring
him in They found him not far away
on South Broad street. At the barracks
he asserted that his name was j. c. RAY
Of New York. but declined 20 give his
address in that city or any Information
about himself lie was locked up ana
the Boston police department wired OF the
arrest The prisoner has been IN the
city since Friday ana has been stopping az

An Institution Of Los Angeles
Special Pride
THE PROGRESS OF A YEAR
New Buildings to Accommodate the Nu'
nierous Children
What It Costs to Run the Schools-New
Features Added During the Year.
Some Interesting Figures

The fame of Los Angeles public
schools is national in extent and the past
year has added to the lustre of the we'll
earned reputation. Those who are in
= position to know and give an impartial
opinion agree that no city Of its size
In the United States has better schools.
Not only are the methods claimed to be
superior, but the growth Is little short
of wonderful. This was forcibly shown
during 1896, when fourteen large and
elegant school buildings were completed
to accommodate the pupils for whom
there was no room in the older build
ings. The necessity Of the additional
room is shown in the fact that the num-
Der of children of school age increased
from 1886 in 1895 to 20,679 in 1896. OF
the latter number only 1862 children at
tended private schools and 1894 did not
attend school of any kind, leaving the
enrolment 1919. or 95 per cent of the
total. These figures are taken from the
annual report Of the city schools, issued
at the close OF the school year last July.
The enrolment reported on December
IA, 1896, shows that 15,722 We're on that
day attending school,
From January i. 1896. to January l.
1897, the cost of running the schools of
this city has been s369,000.
Referring again to the annual report
above alluded to, it Is seen that the to-
tai expenditures of the maintaining of
the schools for the school year ending
last July amount to 1923, 161 .63, Of which
sum the principals and teach
ers received S26O, ,SS1. .S5 The cost
Of buildings is not included in the fig
ures quoted. AS we'll known as is the
excellence of the schools of Los Angeles
is the fact that teachers here are paid
much better than in most cities. This
fact attracts hither so great number of
educators that discrimination In selec-
tion can be made in order to engage the
best. The. average annual salary of
principals of from two to twelve-room
buildings is from $3.50 to 1880. The
High school principal receives $4,000 The
average annual salary of heads of de-
partments in the High school is 1885, and
teachers $975, with special teachers
about 5000 less. The minimum salary
paid to teachers is $40 month.
The total cost OF the schools per pupil,
estimated by the school census of 1896,
was 1882; on the number enrolled. $l9.-
%; on average daily attendance. $26 So
in all cases a slight increaseobver the
preceding year.
One significant thing in the list of ex-
penditures is the item of only SO, 1874 for
fuel for the year.
The comparison of salaries paid during
the past ten years presents these inter-
esting figures:

THE GREATEST MONARCH

Is a fit subject for pity If he is troubled
with dyspepsia, while his poorest subject
who digests properly may well be envied by
prince thus afflicted. The dyspeptic of
every cline and nation owe debt of graf
itude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. which
rescues them from one of the most obsti-
nate and troublesome complaints against
which medical skill is directed On this
continent, in Europe and the tropics, this
sterling remedy is pre-eminently and just
ly popular, not only as a stomachic, but
also as d means of preventing and curing
malarial, rheumatic, kidney, bilious anc
nervous disorders. 1t improves appetite
and sleep, hastens convalescence and the
acquisition of vigor after exhausting mall
aides, and counteracts the infirmities OF
age. A wineglassful taken before retiring
has a. tendency to promote tranquil. health
yielding sleep. a boon much coveted by
nervous invalids.
