A heaIsc crossed the track and the
motoncer put Oh the brakes so suddenly
that the Cur nearly stood on it's nose.

await the passing Of the long string OF
carriages following the black draped

thrown over the front rail by the sud-
den stopping of the Car snorted angrily
"Why don't you cut across? I've got

Cant help it, boss You'll have to
wait and catch another train"

man could run up against"
''Bah" said the fat man.
"All right boss. l know what I'm
talking about. One of the best men on
this line crossed funeral procession
soon after the trolley system was put
in. A live wire dropped on the back of
his neck and electrocuted him before
he'd gone block. A little while later
another poor fellow cut across back of
a hearse. He ran over three children in
as many weeks. He quit the road as
crazy as loon. Now the conductor on
that same Car has lost every cent he
had in the world, and his wife and
child have died. Bah, yourself! I'd like
to sec you get off this Car and walk
across in front of one of those carriages.
I'll bet you'd be catchin your last train

and try it now."
But the fat man only shifted uneasily
about Oh the hard Car seat and waited
silently until the last carriage had
passed. New York Telegram.

A HARDSHIP FOR FARMER S

At the meeting of the police commits
sioners yesterday Chief Glass reported
that he has been unable to enforce the
market ordinance as he had been or
dered to do by the council, which forbids
the sale of fruit and vegetables by
ranchers and others during market
hours, for the reason that the venders
when caught making sales claimed that
they We're simply delivering goods which
had been sold a the market. The chief
recommended that the market master is
sue a card or tag to vendors who sell
produce in the market, which would en-
able them to deliver goods without fear
of being arrested and that those deliv-
ering goods without this tag would be
considered as violators of the law, and
treated accordingly. This recommended
ton was indorsed by the board and sent
to the council with the request that it be
adopted. This is an important matter
and the council should go very slow
in putting any onerous restrictions on
the producers. The public market is
supposed to be public convenience AMI
if producers wish to patronize it they
can do so. This market is situated a.
smith and Los Angeles streets. and it
certainly looks like a hardship to compel
the rancher from the east side, for in
stance, to go to that place before he
can deliver a wagon load of produce,
sweeping law such as is indicated would
undoubtedly work great hardship on
many ranchers. as well as citizens

pie to take greater personal interest in
their public concerns.
In Los Angeles public sentiment has
grown so strong in favor of municipal
ownership of the city's water supply
system that every candidate for office
at the last election was obliged to COM
nit himself to it, and the present admin
| istration is pledged to see that an ade-
quate system is ready to be put in opera
tion by the time the charter of the water
company expires. But the people did
not so decide until they had acquainted
| themselves with the working of munich
pal ownership in cities that have demon
strated beyond a doubt the feasibility of
making the question of water supply a
public concern They found that in
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and in
many other American cities the plan has
given entire satisfaction as to service,
as well as to the cost of maintenance and
! distribution.
1t may be said. in fact, that municipal
ownership has grown in favor in all the
larger cities. and that as fast as charters
of private companies expire by limita-
ton their plants are either bought by the
corporation or new works constructed.
Cities that have operated their own
plants for series of years furnish abun-
dant evidence to establish the entire cor
rectness and stability of the plan. More
over it has been demonstrated by every
city trying the experiment that not only
is the supply better quality of water,
but materially cheaper than was OBJ
tained under private ownership. In New
York the water rates for a three-storied
dwelling are So per annum, which is a
little lower than is charged in Chicago
and somewhat higher than the Philadel
phia rate.
Most of the cities of Europe own their
water supply system, and the rate per
annum is very much lower than in any
of the American municipalities. In some
of the English cities the plants have been
so perfected that the meter rate is only
eight cents per each 1000 feet against 81
in New York and thirty cents in Phila-
delphia. The water plants in England
and Wales represent municipal indebt-
edness for their construction of 5000, ,000,-
900, but low as the rates are, they are
ample to provide for current repairs, the
fixed charges and sinking fund
Under municipal ownership in Los
ton in the cost to consumers would be
all of so per cent, with vastly improved
service.

Huntington wanted to hear, and when he
thought the time was ripe he introduced
his trump card, an enormous bribe of
three millions of dollars for Santa Mon

birthright of free harbor at San Pedro.
1t is not pleasant thing for an
American to learn that one man can so
shape things to his own interest in the
highest tribunal. But this is history
But for once the appeal to commercial
cupidity fell in a quarter where it met
the contempt that it deserved. The
people rose with redoubed wrath and
demanded that If so much money was
available at Mr.. Huntington's call, it
should be ready for the use and benefit
of all the people of this section. A gal
liant fight in the senate led by brave
and upright man of the people, whom
the good fortune of Southern California
had placed in the right place at the right
time ended in wrestling the appropria-
ton of three million dollars--a splendid
and an unexpected sum-from the grasp
of Mr.. Huntington and putting it up to
be awarded to the place which should
win in fair contest before competent
judges on the basis of its actual merit
as a harbor location. This also is his
tory, and sorry history for the man who
make the mistake as to the character of
the people of this city.

that the property owners have some
rights that the contractors are bounl

zens appeared before the committee yes

where the work was not up to specifica-

the work. 1T is true that only one side
cf the story has been told, that of the

HELENA MODJESKA

1t is just twenty years since the Cali
fornia theater in San Francisco was the
scene of the first appearance in an Eng
! lish speaking part of an actress whose
name has since become synonymous
with all that is best and highest and
most ennobling in dramatic art The
play was Adrienne Lecouvreur, and the
player was Helena Modjeska.
| The story of her first appearance, al
most unheralded, and of her acting in a
language which she had. with the facll-
months study, has often been told how
the small audience, Indifferent at first,
was captured completely, and how from
that day the people of California have
felt a special pride in the artist who
| identified herself with the Golden state,
and had begun career Of brilliant sue
cess dating from her determination to
present her great creations in the Ian
| guage of the country she had adopted.
| The fact that Modjeska had already
achieved fame in European capitals was
at that time little known on the Pacific
coast, and would, If known, have had
but little influence with her audiences.
| They accepted her for what she was tc
| them, and watched her after career with
the keenest sympathy and admira ton.
Whatever may be said about the the
atrical practices of the pres ent day; of
the adventitious methods employed by

it can always be truthfu'ly pointed cut
that at ne time has this gifted woman
been advertised by any other means
than those of her own personality, which

proach that she has become the standard
| of excellence by which the profession
may be judged. It is an instance where

states into which immigrants go by
preference are those on the Atlantic sea

year covered by the treasury report
