settled Prof. Mowry was introduced. He
commenced his address with a graceful
tribute to the teachers of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Mowry's address was on the SUBJ
ject of Reading" He first gave in
stances or reading, where, by reason Of
the manner of reading, expression, in
fection, etc, the meaning of an author
was misconstrued, or the beauty of his
language lost.
Professor Mowry advised people in
reading aloud to read just as they please,
so long as they express the meaning of
the author, by pitch, force and denuncia-
ton.
In concluding his address the speaker

CAUGHT IN THE ACT
A CLEVER YOUNG THIEF PLACED
UNDER ARREST
Arthur earle Stole Ladies' Purses at
the Public Library-He Has
Confessed His Guilt

Arthur Carle, a debonair young man
arrested in the public library yesterday
by Detectives Hawley and Auble. Carrie
has frequented the place of late, and has
committed a number of thefts Of small
sums of money. A number of complaints
have been made to the police of late by
ladies who have had their pocket books
stolen from them while at the library,
and the matter was placed in the hands
Of the detectives, who had been working
on the case for several days. They had
spotted the man whom they were sat-
isfied had committed the thefts, and
have been watching him in order to get
conclusive proof. Yesterday they went
TO the library and watched him. Carle
was apparently looking at book when
they came in, but kept glancing around
the room.
Finally lady got up and changed her
seat leaving her cloak and purse be-
hind. In few moments Carle also
arose and walked over to where the
purse lay, and sat down near it. Then
he rapidly slipped his hand over to the
purse, and dragging it to him. dropped
II into his pocket. A minute afterward
he arose and started to leave the build
ing. AS he did so Detective Hawley
stepped up behind him, and tapping him
on the shoulder informed him that he
was under arrest. ,
When he was taken to the police sta
ton he completely broke down and con-
fessed his guilt. He admitted having
stolen a number of purses in the same
manner. After taking the money out of
them he said that he had thrown the
empty pocketbooks down a sewer. He
was later arraigned in the police court
and entered his plea Of guilty. Sentence
will be pronounced upon him Monday.

A PECULIAR PROSECUTION
Unusual Proceedings in a Chinese
Lottery Case

Wong Fun, who Is charged with rum
ming a lottery game, was fried before
Police Judge Owens yesterday, and the
case was submitted for decision. Frank
F. Davis represented the Chinaman and
Messrs. Appel and Whitney appeared
for the prosecution. Right here a pc
culiar feature of the trial is apparent.
and the question naturally arises, why
should the work which is always sup
posed to be attended to by the district
attorneys office be left in this particu-
lar case to outside parties?"
It is true that the district attorneys
office has the right to summon assist
ance at any time, but that case of this
nature should be attended to entirely by
outside parties without any represent
ative of the district attorneys Office
present, is something very unusual.
MIR. Whitney, in his statement to the
court, said that Mr.. Appel represented
the police force in the prosecution of
these Chinese lottery cases. This prop
osition would seem as unusual as the
other since the police force is supposed
TO be represented by the district attor-
ney's office, and is not in the habit Of
engaging outside parties to look after
their cases.
In looking for an explanation, howev-
e., it may be pertinently remarked that
until short time ago Mr.. Appel had
acted as attorney for the Chinese in
most all of their cases but recently they
employed another attorney.
1t further appears that Mr.. Appel took
a great interest in working up this case
against the Celestial. He is said to have
sent Wong letter by one Sanchez, ask
ing for $25, which he claimed was yet
Cue him, and threatening to attach his
store in case the money was not forth.
coming This same Sanchez appears
now as witness in the lottery case.

A FORTUNATE FLOWER GIRL
Sarah Gamble Falls Heir to Fortune.
Fairs Attachment

On the eastbound overland this even
ing Sarah Lucretia Gamble, rather
pretty girl of about IS, will leave on her
journey to Lancaster, England, whittier
she goes to claim fortune of 100000
which was left to her by her grand
mother, Lucretia Gamble, who died there
several months ago. Miss Gamble was
named after her grandmother, and as
she is the only grandchild to her the
old lady left her all. The property con-
sists largely of cash in bank, together
with valuable real estate in London and
Leicester. On her way east Miss Gamble
will stop for some days in Chicago, and
on June 9Th will take the steamer Lu-
cania at New York.
The lucky girl will be remembered by
many persons, as for the past four years
she has sold flowers about the hotels.
1t will also be remembered that she is
the heroine of little incident in the life
of James G. Fair, the San Francisco mil
lionaire. Along in 1894, when Fair was
visiting this city, and stopping at the
Nadeau, he made the acquaintance of
the little flower girl, then about Is
years Of age, and appeared to be smitten
with her charms. Presents of all kinds
were showered upon little Sarah, and
the claim was afterward made that he
had asked her to become his wife How
ever this may be, Fair did not prove con-
stant, and left the city, dying a few
months afterward. AT the time the
story was exploited at length in the pa
pers and created something of a senea-
ton.
Since that time Sarah has resided with
her parents, who conduct a nursery at
South Pasadena, and has continued the
selling of flowers as before. During the
past winter she has frequented the ho-
tells, and did thriving business. Two
months ago she received notification
of the legacy, and begun preparations to
go and claim it. In appearance she is
rather pretty. with dark hair, blue eyes
fresh, round face, with rosy cheeks,
and we'll rounded form. After claim
ing her property she will make an ex.
tended visit on the continent and then
return to this city.

Protect the System From Malaria

1t is possible to do this even in regions of
country where miasma is most rife, and
where the periodic fevers which it causes
assume their most formidable types. The
immense popularity of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is very largely attributable to
the fact of it's efficacy as remedy for
chills and fever bilious remittents, and as
a preventive of the various forms of ma
larial disease. In those portions Of the
west and south where complaints of this
nature prevail, and in the tropics it is
particularly esteemed for the protective

adapted for the location Of deep set

vor of Santa Monica no one would have
anticipated that the secretary woul!
have reopened the matter by raising
questions which must, in the nature Of
things, have been passed upon by the
commissioners while pursuing their In
vestgations upon the ground"
Freeman G. Teed: my opinion Is
probably the same as that of nine-tenths
of the people of this section, who thought
the harbor matter was settled. and now
think the action of Secretary Alger un-
warranted and outrageous. l cannot
see upon what foundation he bases his
ideas and action"
Alex. Campbell: II think 1t is out
rageous and an insult to congress and
the people, especially those resident
Of California"
H. Jevne: II have not had time to
fully digest the report Of Secretary Al
ger. but don't believe he has any right
10 the view he takes in the mater. What
congress orders to be done ought GER
tainly to be carried out by our public
officers. In my opinion the question Is
only one of delay, and think congress
will order him to proceed with the
work"
N. c. Carter. Sierra Madre: II think
it is an Alger, Reed, Frye and Hunting
ton combination to delay, and, IL possi-
BILE defeat, the wishes of the people. The
secretary is not carrying out the act
of congress to him directed, and the pre-
oedent is bad one for the Republican
party"
Mayor NJ. p. Snyder. '"Ine idea
of delaying proceedings any further on
such grounds ae General Alger sets
forth here is preposterous. There might
have been room for discussion and doubt
on this matter before it was so thor
oughly settled by the engineers report.
but that should have been conclusive.
Such points as are raised in this report
are entirely out of place at this late
date. We want the money; we want 1t
at San Pedro and it has been decided
that 1t shall be spent there. Further
delay merely tantalizes the people"
Major E. F. c. Klokke: 1.-The situation
is outrageous but do not see that any
thing can be done about it for some time
to come. We should fight, OF course, and
hard, but the Cuban matter and the tar
iff will make it difficult to get Congress
to act this session. 1t is bad state OF
things"
