RIGID ECONOMY

The Treasury Of Riverside in Bank
rupt Condition
RIVERSIDE, April 20.-The old board OF
city trustees spent all the funds Of the city
for the present year. so that when the new
board took hold Of the reins Of ONCE Mon
day they found themselves without any
funds to carry on tho business of the city.
by cutting salaries and cutting or all
ofiicials who could possibly be spared. All
the employees in the electric light depart
ment had their salaries cut in two, and 90
did the drivers Of the fire department. One
policeman was let out, and also one night
watchman. The superintendent OF streets
was given a vacation Of two months and
the city attorney one Of one month. All
the men employed in repairing streets were
LAID on until July 1st. The board refused
to appoint q deputy marshal. although
there has been such an officer for ten
years past, since ex-Marshal Morse estab-
Mshed the custom. The city has nothing in
the shape Of revenue for the next three
months except what Is afforded by the
sale of electric lights to private parties,
and the collection from business licenses.
The shortage Of money was brought about
by the unwarranted expenditure Of some-
thing like $4,000 for a storm ditch near Ar
lington and the extension Of speculative
electric light wires. These expenses were
not provided for In the levy Of last year,
and the use Of the money in that way COM
pels the economy now being practiced.

Santa Barbara Brevities

SANTA BARBARA, April 2O.-The long
looked for rain has commenced to
fall at last. Although 1t is in
the nature of a heavy mist the indications
are that a good shower will follow. The
northern portion of the county, as well as
this immediate section, is sadly in need of
water. and even at this late day rain will
do an immense amount of good. In the
Lompoc valley number Of pumping plants
have been erected for irrigating purposes,
and the next season will see that section
well watered The system of irrigation
now of necessity will be adopted in this
county sooner or later, as it has been
thoroughly demonstrated by this unusual
dry season that rains cannot be depended
upon.
Lieutenant Commander Frank Van
Fleck of the Los Angeles naval reserve
was in the city last evening, witnessing the
drill by bugle of the Santa Barbara naval
reserve. He spoke very complimentary
of the boys efficiency. Six new members
were enrolled.
The mascot of the Santa Barbara naval
reserve is named "Pompey," large Irish
setter dog owned by Mr.. Henley c. Booth.
a member of the company. Pompey will
accompany the boys to war.
Mr.. Britton, The Herald agent, is doing
good business here in the way of sub

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL
Riverside Supervisors Have to Settle
the Site

RIVERSIDE, April 20.-The supervisors
held a special meeting today for the pur-
pose of arranging for the care of the
patients Of the county hospital, who were
rendered homeless the other day by fire,
when the hospital building was burned. At
the time of the fire Chairman Shaver of
the board secured rooms at San Jacinto
for the patients, and he was today COM
mended by the board for his action, and
It was ordered that they be kept there
until some permanent arrangements could
be made. The clerk of the board was in
structed to advertise for bids for sun
plying the county with suitable grounds
and lands for hospital site, and this Will
be done at once. Present indications are
that the board will split as to where the
hospital shall be located. 1t is under
stood that the two city members Of the
board would rather see 1t located in
Corona than in San Jacinto, solely on the
ground of economy while two members
are in favor of locating on the old site and
rebuilding. One member, Mr.. Compton,
seems to have the casting vote, and as he
comes from Corona, 1t is probable that lie
can take the hospital there if he wants to
1t Is understood that the owners of the
boom hotel building at Auburndale, neal
Corona, have decided to offer that property
for q hospital, and IL they do the county
would secure very much better site than
the one at San Jacinto.

In Ventura County

VENTURA, April 20-The idea of the
municipal ownership of an electric light
plant has been abandoned, owing to the
petition of numerous light consumers, and
the fact of this being dry year. A ma
5ority of the board declare themselves as
still In favor of it. The court house will
be lit by an acetyline gas plant, contin-
gent upon it being a success. The town
board is also pondering over the same
proposition to light the public library and
other town buildings.
A report reached here last evening from
Oxnard that an attempt was made to burn
the new saloon building occupied by Chris
Reiman. A box full of excelsior, satu-
rated with oil. was put under the house
aisS set afire, but fortunately was dis
covered in time to prevent serious dam
age.
Mr.. Hutchens of Santa Paula is re-
ported to be Seriously injured as the result
Of runaway which occurred near there

At the request of Chief Strickland the
board Of town trustees ordered that the
Chinese fire department be fully equipped
with hose, noZzles, etc. The Chinese fire
department attends every fire which oc-
ours here, and rendered much valuable aid
at the last fire, which destroyed the back
portion of Conner & Blackstocks grocery
and Bakers hardware store, and could
have saved great deal more property had
their hose been longer. Hence the order
of the board to fix them up.

Why Nye Made a Hit

It was the opening Of their joint session;
they had both been rusticating during the
vacation, and were brown as berries. Nye
looked much like an Othello in his sun
burnt makeup, and Riley suggested to him
the application of some ''liquid white" 4
cosmetic much affected by the gentler sex
Of the profession.
Nye sent for the preparation. and never
having used anything Of the kind before, he
filled the palm of his hand with 1t and care
lessly smeared 1t over his countenance.
There was no mirror in his very primitive
dressing room, and Riley was beautifying
himself on the other side of the stage.
The Liquid white" dries out somewhat
like whitewash, and when Nye appeared
before the audience he was sight to be-
hold. His head looked like frosted top
piece on a wedding cake; his face. white
as the driven snow, was expressionless
and blank. The audience shrieked, and
when he came off from his first selection
they demanded his temperance. He
obliged them to howls of laughter; again
he made his exit, and again was rede-
manded by the uproarious audience.
Believing he had made hit, he was
about returning to the stage when he was
caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye, who
cried: civilian Edgar Nye, what have
you got on your face?"
Nothing but its usual expression, my
dear"
'.Expression-fiddlest You're a
fright" cried his wife, and leading him
to where there was piece Of broken look
ing-glass showed him how he looked.
Nye was mortified. and catching sight
of Riley just about going on the stage he
would have undoubtedly followed him on
and been revenged but for the interven-
tion of Mrs. Nye.
His head was scraped, combed and
washed, and his next selection was read
without "a hand" from the audience
Moreover, the story is a fact and not a

attained by most eminent men in science.
literature or art-and even those few have
only followed in the wake of men.
But, assuming that feminine intelligence
Is really less vigorous than mans. it is
nevertheless worthy Of being taken into
consideration, for women have proved that
they can fill a high position, not only in
art and literature but also in science and
philosophy.
Regarded as incapable of performing
work requiring intelligence and independ-
ent action, the Spanish woman is brought
up with the idea that frivolity is one Of her
most powerful attractions and that ig-
norance and absolute dependence are the
qualities necessary for those who aspire
to be model wives and good mothers. Yet,
If 1t be a woman's mission to share the
life and labors Of a man and make him
happy; If she BE the one called upon to
give to the children that primary educa-
tion upon which depends the future of the
rising generation-which means the future
of society in general-then Is it not mis-
take to make it difficult for her to fulfill
the important duty conf1ded to her? Yet
this is the mistake we are now committing
by limiting her scope. Woman is now, as
in ancient times, a mere object of recrea-
ton for man, because they have
nothing else in common.
In Spain the movement awakes little in
terest. Our women, who are equal to men
in Incidence If in nothing else. think very
little about the present and future lot Of
their sex. and, in spite Of the fact that
there are far more women than men, seek
no other solution Of the problem Of life
than marriage The noble work Of their
sisters in other lands for the common
cause never provokes a word of sympathy
