Theosophical Meeting

At the meeting of the Los Angeles
Theosophical society last evening at
525 West Fifth street, Miss NJ. S. Lloyd
read paper on Success and Failure"
Miss Lloyd said, in brief, that success
demands fine qualifications, viz: Com
prehension of the object desired, con-
centration, one-pointedness of mind,
determination. courage, energy. She
also pointed out that failure is very
aften necessary to final success, for by
means Of failure we learn TO analyze,
to find out the weak places in the armor
and to make all strong against a final
battle. Failure and success are both
subject to the one universal law of caus-
alton, or what Theosophists term Kar-
ma.

Four Depraved Youngsters
Taken Into Custody
WERE CAPTURED NEAR CHINO
LIVING IN A TENT IN THE Ut
MOST soUkLoR
Left Their Homes in This CITY a
Month Ago-Terrible Condition
Of the Two Little Girls

John Coberly, James Welch, Blanche
Cunningham and Laura Petrie, a quar-
tet of precocious youngsters, were
brought to the county Jail yesterday af-
ternoon by Constable Yonk!e. Coberly
and Welch are charged with rape and
Blanche Cunningham with vagrancy.
The Petrie girl is held as witness.
The four left the city together April
18th, since which time they have been
wandering about the country. On May
Sd Mrs. Cunningham had a warrant is
sued for Coberly and her girl, but the
officers were unable to locate them
Two days ago Constable Yonkin heard
that they were at Chino, and yesterday
he spent all day looking for them. The
two girls, Welch and younger brother
Of Coberly were found about four miles
south of the town of Chino near the river
on the Home ranch. They were in what
purported to be a tent and in the most
abject squalor. John Coberly was found
on an adjoining ranch about mile and
half away.
Blanche is 13 years old, according to
the statement of her mother and Laura
is Is. The boys claim to be 18. The con-
dition of the girls was pitiable. They
wore the same clothes which they had
on when they ran away, except that
Blanche had worn out her shirt waist
and had been given a shirt which be-
longed to one of the boys. They were
filthily dirty. The tent in which they
lived was constructed of pieaSs Of can
vas and horse blankets. Their bedding
consisted only of some DID, ragged quilts
in which they wrapped themselves.
sleeping side b. side on the ground.
Blanche Cunningham is very small for
her age, with raven locks and, when
clean, a very pretty girl. Her story is
that the boys persuaded them to leave
home so that their lustful desires might
be gratifled. She had gone to stay with
her grandfather while her grandmother
was visiting some friends. About mid
night Of April 13 they left town. For
several days they wandered about the
country, visiting Chino, Santa Ana.
Riverside and other towns. The first
three nights she and Coberly were to-
gether and Laura and Welch were to-
gether. She and Coberly then had some
trouble. and he was fred At Chino
they were met by Coberly's younger
brother. and she has since been living
with him.
About three weeks ago the boys sue
ceeded in getting work at Chino, weed
ing beets. They received $3.50 per day
and boarded themselves, the girls doing
the cooking. Such a life soon lost its
charms for them, and they wanted to
come home, but the boys refused to give
them any money and it was too far to
walk.
Laura Petrie lives at 712 Jackson
street and the mother of Blanche Cum
ningham lives on Stevenson avenue. The
boys all live in East Los Angeles. Mrs.
Cunningham did not know that her
girl had gone until several days after
the occurrence, as the grandfather did
not notify her of the fact. Mrs. Welch
Is widow and has nine children.
The party was arrested late Saturday
night, but 1t was impossible to bring
them to the city then. and they were left
in Santa Ana until yesterday.

A PLEASANT PICNIC
The Garibaldi Guards Have an Outing
at Sycamore Grove

One Of the pleasantest picnics of the
season was held at Sycamore grove
yesterday by the Garibaldi guards. The
crowd was large and merry, and con-
sisted chiefly of French, Spaniards and
Italians.

throughout the afternoon. A large OK
was "barbecued," and disappeared soon
after A long and exciting sack race
wore out half dozen young men. The
prizes in the latter were won by Messrs.
Decker and PARA. A. smooth mast, or
soaped pole, about eighty feet in height
was set up in the picnic ground, and
score Of young men tried in vain to climb
to the ten dollar piece at the top. Fru-

markable feat. OF the others who made
the attempt, Minoti Sormano climbed
to the height Of about sixty feet.

BUSY QUEEN VICTORIA.
Very conscientious About Letter Writing.
How She Gets the Daily News.

Queen Victoria private letters mum.
ber many hundreds every year. She
writes to her numerous relatives, forget.
ting no anniversary or occasion on which
letter might be welcome. The London
Chronicle says that to the younger mem-
,axs Of the royal family she never fails
60 send birthday gifts, accompanied by
few loving words Of greeting. Every
day the birthday book is consulted-not
that birthday book in which singers,
actors and other personages are asked to
write, but that smaller volume reserved
for relatives and intimates. Then there
are numerous letters Of a semiprivate
nature which are written by the queen
herself-letters Of coincidence, letters Of
congratulation to brides who have been
connected with the court, letters to for
eign monarchs. Besides all these epis-
ties, written in the BLACKLIST of ink ON
paper slightly edged with black, there
are thousands which are penned by the
private secretary and his assistants.
The queen g day begins early and ends
late. After breakfast-a meal which she
still enjoys eating in the open air when
possible-there are the newspapers aud
private correspondence claiming atten-
ton. With regard to the former, por.
tions Of The Times and other journals
are read aloud to the queen by lady
specially appointed for this purpose.
Very rarely does the queen comment ON
the news, except in the case Of a oalam-
ity, when her sympathy is quickly ex.
pressed in telegram. Inaccuracy in an
important newspaper as to royal matters
gives the queen grave annoyance, and
The Chronicles writer has known an
official to call and complain Of the mis-
statement and demand rectification.
Not long ago an illustrated London pa
per gave picture in which her majesty
was represented as holding the arm Of
her Indian attendant. Within a short
space of time member Of the royal
household called ON the editor to state
the absurdity Of such an error. "The
queen is much annoyed at this mistake
on the part Of your artist, as it might
give grievous offense to important per-
sons in India. She could never take the
arm Of servant" This will show how
closely she watches even the pictorial
press. When good illustration appears
Of any state function, it is q common
incident for the artist to be requested

enforced without respect to persons.
The company also desires to call the
attention of consumers to the rule in
reference to permitting those who do
not pay for water using the hydrants of
those who do pay. This will not be
permitted and where this practice is
persisted in, after due notice has been
given further service will be denied
the consumer who permits It to be
done. Very Respectfully,
e. 8. KELLY,
Secretary.
