Babes Debarred From a
Los Angeles House of
Worship.

kindergarten During the
Services.
Presby yterian Y,ung Ladies Resolve
to GIVE Careworn Mothers
an Hour of Respite.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. I.-EEan-
uel Presbyterian Church of this city, Of
which Rev Dr. Chichester is pastor, will
soon institute an innovation as novel as it
is practical. The pronunciamento has
gone forth that there shall be no more
crying babies in Emanuel Church. SUI
fer little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not" is not TO be altogether
disregarded, as might appear at first
glance. but the strong-lunged infants OF
the congregation are going to have sepa-
rate provision made for them. They will
be cared for by the Young Ladies Auzil-
iary League OF the church while their
mothers attend services.
The mem bers OF the League have deter
mined to make the Sunday kindergarten
a part OF their regular duties. The idea
has since been adopted BY other churches,
and is said TO be a worthy innovation, as
ii permits many mothers 10 attend church
who would otherwise be debarred from
that gracious privilege.
The young ladies Will provide quarters
for the Iusty Youngsters IN some room OF
the ediiice. There they will amuse their
little charges and keep them contented
and happy until the pastor concludes his
lastly and the ''Doxology' has been sung.
Everyi hing will De done 10 deprive the

monotony and at the same time permit
their mothers TO listen In peace 10 the

TURNER LEADS
IN WASHINGTON
Fight for the Senatorship
Will Be Close and
Bitter.
Twenty Eight Populists Sign a
Middle.of.the- Road Agree
ment.
Lobbyists Invade the Capital to
Work for a Score of
Candidates.

OLYMPIA, WASH, Jan. 1.-THE lower
House of the Legislature convened at
noon to-day. C. E. Cline (Pop.) was
elected Speaker unanimously; Jude Ca
rusi (Pop.) clerk, and a. P. Tugwell SER
gesnt-at-arms. The balance of the officers
were divided throughout the State. The
Senate convened at the same hour. w. 81.
Plummer of Spokane was elected tempo
rary presideIM
When organization was completed both
houses adjourned until tomorrow at 10
o'clock. There was little friction in either
over the selection of officers, everything
having been settled in caucus. The Popu-
lists have ajority of the offices.
The Senatorial contest is getting warm.
Judge Turner Silver Republican, of Spo-
kane; Senator Squire, Silver Republican,
OF Seattle; Judge Winsor of Seattle. c. j..
Cline of Whatcom, Clark Davis of Seattle,
F. P. Baker of Tacoma, all Populists, and
prominent in that party, with dozen
others are aspiring, but each with small
following. The present outlook, though
exceedingly mixed, shows Turner in the
lead.
The Populists are trying to get all mem
bers to sign an agreement to vote for a
middle-of-the-road Populist. Twenty
eight have signed, but the mum Der cannot
be materially increased. Fifty-seyen votes
are needed TO elect. There are ffty-eight
Populists in the Legislature. but they can
not agree. The indications are for q pro-
longed fight as we'll as bitter one.
Lobbyists for all of the candidates are
gathering. Squire has large number of
lobbyists who are trying to keep Populists
from signing the middle-of-tne-road agree
ment, as is Turner also. The Populists
may bolt to middle Of the-road man, but
the prospects are not good.

ENDS HIS LIFE
WHILE INSANE
George E. Dixon Commits
Suicide in a Hotel at
San Rafael.
The Retired Capitalist Slashes
His Neck and Wrists With
a Razor.
Believed While Temporarily Deranged
That He Was Harassed by
Conspirators.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Jan. 11.-George
E. Dickson, a retired capitalist, WI no made
this city his home, died at 8 o'cl eek this
afternoon from the effects of wounds in
iicted upon himself yesterday.
While temporarily deranged he cut his
throat and wrists with razor. Physicians
Iaborea over him all last night and to-day,
but he had been so weakened by loss OF
blood that they could not save his life.
Dickson had been suffering from mental
alteration. His ailment was said 70 have
been caused by high living and want of
exercise. He imagined that enemies were
conspiring TO destroy his good name and
rob him of his property.
Yesterday afternoon he retired to his
room at the Grand Central Hotel and
locked the door. Then he took razor
and inflicted two gashes in his neck, one
on either side.
Wishing to make his death certain he
also slashed his wrists with the keen blade.
When his room was entered some time
later the capitalist was lying in faint
upon the bed, weak from the loss of blood
that had flowed from his wounds.
He fingered through the night, and this
morning there was some hope of his recov-
cry, but toward noon he grew weaker, and
his death was anticipated.
Dickson was rancher, but of late years
has been enjoying a life OF leisure. He
was unmarried. He was brother of w.
]. Dickson and ]. C. Dickson, prominent
citizens of San Rafael.

THE NEWS or SAN JOSE.
Experiments Prove That Robins Destroy
Tree Pests-Identty of Suicide
Learned

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 11-From e1-
perlments carried on in the orchard OF
George W. Cozzens, in the Willows, for
the past month, it has been determined
that the robin greatly aids the orchardist
and vineyardist in destroying insects and
scale pests injurious to the trees and
vines. The appearance of the robin in
were bare and when the boTer and other
insects were beginning their deadly work
convinced the fruit-grower that il the
birds we're amply protected they would
aid materially III ridding the orchards OF
pests.
Early this season Cozzens gave strict
orders prohibiting any shooting upon his
place. As consequence robins soon
gathered IN large numbers. They were
not molested or frightened in any man
ner and soon became very domestic in
their actions. Four or five weeks ago
Cozzens began 10 dig about his fruit trees
Tor the borer and canker worm. The
robins would gather in the immediate vi
cinity in large numbers and as soon as the
dirt.was thrown back from the root OF
tree and the workmen had stepped away
they would settle in the excavation and
hunt diligently for worms. They would
invariably find the hole in which the borer
had entered the bark of the tree and draw
out the pest and devour it.
Examination of the trees which the
robins had visited found them entirely
free from worms and CozZens is convinced
that the robin is a valuable bird to the
fruit-growers and one which should be
protected by law.

ADVICE TO PORTLAND AAiDEEs.
theatrical Manager FniediaHder Says to
AspHants for FootGght Honors
nDo1f"

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 11.-Manager 3.
II. Friedlander of lha Columbia Theater.
San Francisco. is here on a visit. lie is
we'll known here as the former manager
of the principal theater in this city, and
since his arrival he has been besieged by
all classes of young women who want to
go on the stage. His advice is don't. y
He said to-day:
''The fact is, there is no more excuse for
the average young lady-aye. or young
man, either-going on the stage, as they
call it, than there would be for them to
open drugstore or a dry goods store just
for fun. There is no fun in stage work.
For the novice who as been attracted by
the bright glare of the footlights, who
has dreamed of fame, of securing the
plaudIts of an admiring multitude, II ali
fades when they get taste of the work.
The fascination yanishes, and they find
themselves engaged in the hardest kind
of labor. OF all the novices who go on
the stage nearly one-half leave it before a
year, broken in spirit or health, or both.
So my advice TO all applicants for entrance
to this life is don't.
"There is room for talented young
ladies and young men in the dramatic
profession Just as there are opportunities
for success in the law, medical or COM
mercial pursuits. But people do not enter
those for fun; no more should they cross
the footlights. If young woman has a
home and does not have to earn her own
living, or if she has position. she is fool
ish to give up either for the uncertaiDtie
of dramatic Tork-uncertainties for it is
purely experimental for q novice"

WAR At THE CAPITOL.
Governor 8gdd and Secretary Brown
Clash Over the State Printers
Pin

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 11.-At the
meeting of the State Board of Examiners
to-day Attorney-General Fitzgerald moved
that an emergency bill be drawn up and
presented to the Legislature 10 provide for
the mileage expenses of the Presidential
electors and the expenses of the messen-
ger who will carry the vote to Washing
ton. The motion met with approval and
was carried.
State Printer Johnson presented claim
for SIS, 600 for the next TWO years ex-
penses, and asked for the approval of the
board. The past appropriations were as
follows: In 1889, $40 600; in 1891, S75. 900;
in 1892, $50. coo, and IN 1895. $50. 900. Gov
ernor Budd refused TO consider the bill.
He said the board had nothing to do with
appropriations provided for by law. Ii
this was deficiency be was opposed to 1t,
as be said all along that there would prob
ably be deficiency. Johnson, be said,
had bought new type TO print the Code
Com missioners' report, had put In new
electric machinery and had painted the
building-this in the face of shortage OF
funds Upon the advice of Brown and
Fitzgerald, Johnson withdrew his claim
and will lobby it through the Legislature,
as heretofore. He claims that the reports
ways and Dairy Bureau have greatly
ADDED TO the expense of his office, and
that S75, 900 is not a cent too much.
Upon adjournment OF the board there
was quite a loud discussion of the matter
between Budd, Fitzgerald and Brown.
Budd reviewed the history OF his expert
scheme and accused Brown of refusing 70
allow Harrison, whom he had appointed
expert, to look at the salary-roll of the
State printing Office, which he, as private
person, had right to do. Brown replied
that the refusal was made by Deputy
Attorney General Anderson in a conver-
sation 10 which he (Browpl had no part
and which he did not hear. Brown said
that such improvements as Johnson had
made were necessary and challenged Budd
to deny that fact. Budd replied that
Johnson had made such improvements
when he had expressly warned him that
he would create deficiency.
~ told him so when he presented
salary roll for services Of employees when
they were on vacation he declared.
''And at that time" said Brown, You
caused him to adopt rule for overtime
payment, which is not having its effect"

STRANGE FIND At SPOKANE.
Body of an A6orgine Uncovered by a
Washout Within the Limits of
IRE ci,v

SPOKANE. WASH, Jan. 1.-THE body
of an Indian, belonging evidently to some
very remote period, was unearthed to-day
almost within the city limiIs- AT the east
end of Hangman Creek bridge rams have
caused the banks to cave down and thus the
skeleton was exposed. 1t was in a sitting
position and buried foot below the origi-
nal surface.
With the skeleton were implements of
the chase and numerous trinkets of the
bone and stone age. They included six
or eight flint arrow-heads, three or four
bone spearheads and broken stone imple-
ments having the appearance of hatchets.
More curious still were a dozen small
bones notched on the sides, having evil
IDENTIFY served as records of important
events. The oldest Indians in this vicin-
ity have no recollection of the body ever
having been buried there. It is supposed,
from appearances. that the body has lain
there Tor at least 200 years.

HARc0UHERS UNIQUE STRIKE.
Members of the ch0n Gang Refuse to
Work and Are Being Starved
In{o Suh17fseion
Into Submission.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 1L-One OF
the most unique strikes on record is now
engaging the attention OF the authorities
in Vancouver. For some months the city
has been infested by crowds of most IN
desirable visitors, and driven TO severe
measures by the constantly recurring
burglaries ana highway robberies, the po-
lice force received instruction to arrest on
8 charge OF vagrancy all those who, hav-
ing no visible means of existence, fre-
quented local saloons and were menace
to the peace of the city, This was done,
and a large number of men were sem
fenced to various terms on the chain gang.
Though the ground was sno8-coyered,
these culprits were put at hard manual
labor, clearing vacant lots OF brush and
other similar employment. Guards armed
with Winchester rifles watched them.
The crisis came on New Years day, when,
in spite OF the rain, the gang was set at
work. Ten or more OF them absolutely
refused TO turn out, and were removed 10
a cell wherein the temperature resaIn bled
that of an icehouse and placed 1pon
bread ana water diet. Those who work ed
as they were required were given five
hours labor instead of ten and rewarded
with regular New Years dinner. The
recalcitrant members OF the gang are still
holding out and are being fed upon the
bread and water diet Some of the weaker
mem bers are showing evidence of their
Willingness to capitulate, but two or three
of the ringleaders are using all their pow
ers Of persua sion to induce their compan
ions to stand firm. What possible relief
from the present state of things the most
sanguine OF them expect is hard 10 see. as
the whole advantage Is on the side of the
authorities, and the submission of ali the
gang merely matter of time. In the
meantime the treatment accorded the
roughs has had the beneficial effect of
freeing the City in a great measure of this
dauperOus class
