Merchants and Manufacturers Dis.
cuss Street Sweeping


At the meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Merchants and Manu-
factuyers' association Monday evening,
the failure of the city council to take
action on the petition of the association
in regard to the street sweeping by hand
was thoroughly discussed. 1t was thu
unanimous opinion of the board that tbs
continued filthy condition of the streets
necessitates an immediate remedy, ans
that the association Is justly entitled
to at least the courtesy of a reply Sec
retary Zeehardialaar was instructed to
address a communication to the council
requesting an early decision in the mat
ter.
The following new members were
elected: George w Walker, Paul b.
Perkins, E. B. Davidson & Co, T. T.
Jones G. Son, Glass & Long and B. "
Collins.

attend to all legal matters.
Resolutions were unanimously passed
urging congress to create a department t
of commerce and industry.
The discrimination in transportation
charges against Los Angelse and in
favor of San Francisco, relative to San
Joaquin valley was thoroughly dis
cussed, and it was shown that in view
of the present freight rates the mer-
chants of Los Angeles are practically
barred from any business relations be-
yond the Tehachapi pass. The mat
ter was referred to Attorney Wright for
action.
1t was decided to discuss at the regu-
lar meeting of the association next Mon
day evening certain rules for the better
ment of the trade conditions in this city

Evening Session

The audience last evening was the
largest present at any Of the sessions
of the parliament, with a much larger
proportion of men than heretofore. The
meeting was called to order promptly
at s o'clock by the president, after which
Miss M. Phoebe Jones of Anaheim read
the first paper Of the evening, es1titled
THE Average Woman" Miss Joras
read so distinctly and er.unciated her
words so clearly every word was heard
to the farthest corner of the room. This
was distinctive feature of all the
speakers during the day. The speaker
outlined the limitations of the average
woman and defined her opportunities.
She should study the questions of the
day. How much of grave Importance
there is in the forces at work amorg
ne nations of the world She must
know her country its wants and its
needs. Clubs and societies are means
of culture and variety in the life of the
average woman. She should cultivate
people with hobbies, which are the spe-
cial study of the busy person. Unhap-
by must be the life of a woman who
does not love to do some one thing If it
be- breadmaking let her learn to make
the harmony of color; if precious stones.
study the history and source from
whence they come; study something to
broaden the horizon and vary the rou-
tine of daily duty. Even chickens re-
pay study. Let no woman, feel that be
cause she cam not do something great
she must do nothing at all.
Rev. Mia Tupper Maynard of Santa
menting and enlarging on the scope of
! the paper. The average womarA she
said, means those who are not geniuses,
ard that means most of us. The av
erage woman is the hope of the world.
The brilliant mind without conscienti
GUS application counts for little. Finan-
cially, it is a very fortunate thing that
we have such large average class. We
have to depend for the welfare of our
country on the average person. What
ever else she may be, the average wo-
mans. life is the home life. Man may
specialize, but she must be- the home
woman, though she may be the pro-
fessonal woman.
DR.. Reid of Pasadena and other ladies
also spoke briefly to the subject.
THE WOMAN OF GENIUS
"The Woman of Genius" was the sub
| ject assigned to DR.. Kellogg Lane Of
! Monrovia who followed on this phase
of the subject. DR.. Lane is an easy,
fluent speaker, who talks without notes,
clearly and convincingly. She began
with the discussion of some of the
| fundamental principles of the difference
of sex and the denial of there being any
sex in genius. The dividing line be-
tween genius ard talent is as vague as
the lire between daylight and dark
ness. The woman of genius does not
differ from the man of genius We find
no woman who Is truly womanly with
out something in her of the manly, nor
| in the man that is truly manly with
out something in him of the womanly
Men and women in the highest sense
are the complement of the other. Wo
men of genius have come to US down. the
ages as far back as history goes, and
yet they are as very small company as
compared with men. Is this caused by
a difference Of SEX? What chance has

MEMORIAL oAY.

Memorial hay Is degenerating into
one Of sports and the objects for which
1t was established are being lost sight OF
ay the people. 1t raises the question :
Is patriotism in the American people
dying out? Time aiope will tell: but a
close observer can zee signs OF its decline
in the dissertation Of the day. William
r. CurIis ia letter 10 the Chicago
Record says: 1T is no longer aR event
20 review patriotism and stir the MEM
cries, but is almost wholly given up to
athletic exhibitions and sports. The
old battle flags are hcHoresi. the stars
and stripes feat from every public
huilding and from the windows and
roofs OF many residences, and the
Grand Army posts still march with
limping steps to the cemeteries, brt
the great mass OF the people do not
give moments thought to their debt
to the dead. Newspapers this morning
are fair index Of public interest on
these subjects. They give u page to
sporting intelligence and column to
the ceremonies OF Decoration Day. In
one paper l counted twenty four coll
umns filed with sports and four columns
TO the soldiers monuments and ceme-
teries. Even the Tribune, which is the
least sensational OF any morning paper
in New York, has fourteen and half
columns devoted TO descriptions OF ball
games, horse races. boat races. tennis
and that sort OF thing, but boils its Dec
Grafton Fay orations and proceedings
down to four and one -half columns. 1t
is serious question whether the historic
significance OF the holiday is to be lost,
and whether the public mind is becom-
ing 90 absorbed with athletics, games
and turf gambling that it cannot devote
one day in the year TO the expression
and cultivation of PATRIOTISM"

Killed OUTRIGHT.
A Sad Accident at the LaBelle Mill
Yard Yesterday Afternoon.
The Victim a Young Son Of William
Shields, an Employee of the Mill.
Drawn Under a Flat Car-His
Neck and Body Eadly Mutilated.
Death Was Instantaneous.

Quite SAD accident occurred yesterday
afternoon about two o'clock in the La
Belle mill yard, by which Aston, two
year-old son of William Shields, an en-
ploye of the mill, and who resides just
opposite the mill, at the corner of LaBeIe
and Jacob streets, met instant DEATH
The little fellow was in the habit of
playing about the mill yard and on Tues
day was warned by LaBelle officials to
keep off the premises, as they feared he
might be hurt. But child-like, he wander
ed into the yard yesterday afternoon to
watch his father, who was working on the
roof of stable a short distance south of
the weigh-scale office. In front of the Of
flee 'dinkey' engine attached to two
fiat cars were standing ready to be weigh
ed, and the child moved to the rear of the
train. His movement was noticed by his
father and a few other employees on the
stable roof and they followed and beck
oned to him to get off the track. He
turned with smile on his face and looked
up, but before he could comprehend their
meaning the engine backed the two cars
to the south, throwing him on his back
across the east rail, and showing his body
along the track for about five feet. The
train was signalled and the boy picked up
by few of the mill men, who were imme-
diately on the spot, but his little body
was lifeless. Death. was instantaneous
as an examination proved his neck had
been broken. Besides a number of bruises
about the entire body, the right arm was
broken at the elbow and his chest and
left shoulder badly crushed.
The little victim was of a cheerful dis
position and SO much of favorite among
the children Of the neighborhood that no
little amount of gloom was felt when the
sad news was learned.
