RED CROSS
Judge Sheldon May Be Heard in Los
Angeles


Angeles
Judge Sheldon, one Of the vice presidents
of the National American Red Cross, has
been in San Francisco some weeks, look
ing into the California State Red Cross
work. An effort is being made to induce
Judge Sheldon to visit Los Angeles and
deliver an address on the work, state and
national, as he did at the recent Red Cross
conference in San Francisco. He has sig
nifed his willingness to come II he can
arrange his engagements satisfactorily.
Unity church has been rendered for the
meeting. 1t Is highly probable that the
people Of Los Angeles will have an OPP
portunity to hear one OF the co-workers
Of the soldiers friend, who, 1t has been
said, has the head of a statesman, the
heart of a woman and the final perse-
verance of the saints, Clara Barton.
A hospital tent, 20x24, was shipped yes
terday to Mrs. d. g. Stevens in San Fran
cisco for the use OF the Seventh regiment.
It is probable that Mrs. Stevens and Mrs.
Pattee will remain until the tent is erected
and the sick of the Seventh regiment es-
tablished in it, hospital is also being
established at the Preside by the Red
CrOSS Oh 0du tTduClSCO. uc lOuT IIlcoS
tents shipped to Captain Steere at cost
Of Sl7310 have been so acceptable that the
Red Cross managers feel that 1t has been
money wisely expended. Sickness is said
to be decidedly on the decrease since the
food can be protected from sand and dust.
Should the Seventh regiment be mustered
out of the service, 1t is arranged that they
shall send or give the tents to other sold
iers who are in need of them.
BY the recent decision Of the National
Association OF Railway Clerks to give a
days wages to the Red Cross, 1t is esti-
mated that the treasury of the Red Cross
will be increased at least 81, 900. In Los
Angeles it will amount to over $1OO. Chief
Clerk Johnson sent in $3.50 additional yes
terday to headquarters, making the total
donation $3.50 up to date.
The small daughters of Rev. B. w. r.
Tayler, Dorothy, Barbara and Margaret,
held a little entertainment for the Red
Cross, for which they charged the moder-
ate admittance of one penny. Yesterday
they turned in the gross receipts of their
efforts, Is cents. w. H. Hoegee donated
S17.31, 10 per cent Of the money expended
with him for tents.
New membors-J. M. Johnson, c. A. Will
son. H. G. Shaug. Mrs. c. T. Saunders, Miss
Dora Washbrook. Clemantina Delgardo,

He Was Discharged

]. H. Herbert was examined before an
insanity commission yesterday afternoon.
but as the complaining witness did not ap-
pear he was discharged. Herbert frankly
stated to the physicians that the whole
proceeding was his own scheme to get to
Highland for treatment as a morphine
eater. Since getting Mrs. Sarah Buchanan
of 1891 South Los Angeles street to make
complaint against him he has changed
his mind, and says that he will now treat
himself for the habit. In the complaint
he was alleged to have made threats
against his own life.

Changes Its Name

The East Side bank has filed a petition
in the superior court asking permission to
change its corporation name to the Bank
of Commerce of Los Angees. When or
ganized the bank was located in East Los
Angeles and could then very properly be
known as the East Side bank. 1t is now,
however, located at the corner Of FIRST street
and Broadway and is no more identified with
the East Side than any other side, hence
the desire for the change.

SPANISH NEWSPAPERS.
Reasons for the Queer Things to he
Found In Their Columns
Little Foreign News.

Spanish newspapers are queer things,
even outside of their news" about the
United States, the Indians and what
not, and their queerness is due as much
to the public which they serve as to the
inconceivable ignorance or willful dis
honesty, or both, of the people who
make them.
1t is said, for instance, that outside
of the larger cities there is large class
of people who do not even know of the
existence of the present crisis. To one
unacquainted with Spanish customs
and manners it might seem strange
that Spanish newspapers did not lay
the whole matter before the people, but
there are some obstacles in the way Of
such a general campaign Of education
in Spain.
In the first place it must be remem-
bered that less than one-third and only
| n little more than one-fourth of the
| Spanish people can read or write. An
educated Spaniard is not the rule, but
the exception. a newspaper among
population more than two-thirds of
which can neither read nor write Is not
likely to have tremendous circulation
or unlimited power. Even in the cities
the circulation is not large. La Epocha,
the conservative organ Of Madrid, for
example, has n circulation of less than
5000 copies. Outside of Barcelona and
Madrid there are perhaps 600 papers
published in Spain, and not half of
these pretend to be newspapers.
nd 81 oil ha I'll; Il.
published in Spain the scientific jour
nails, religious papers and fashion pa
pers are largely in the majority, while
the newspapers are in the minority.
Newspaper enterprise does not have
much encouragement. Foreign news is
obtained chiefly from government Of
ficials. The whole kingdom of Spain
does not receive as many foreign dis
patches In week as are sent to sim
gle city in this country in n single day.
The average Spanish editor does not
see much use in paying for an interest
ing dispatch from abroad when the
chances are about ten to one that when
he gets the dispatch the press censor
win not allow the paper to print 1t.
All these facts must be borne in mind
in considering the influences which go
to make up public opinion in Spain.
Unfortunately for the stability of the
present Spanish government, clerical
influences in Spain are rather with the
Carlist pretender than with the young
king. If Sagasta were able to lay be-
fore the Spanish people generally true
statement Of the present condition of
things and of Weyler's brutality, spoil
alton and outrageous robbery in Cuba
it would not take long to settle the
Cuban question with peace and honor TO
both sides.-Boston Advertiser.

MEXICAN DOLLARS.
An object Lesson I'm Money values
for believers In the Bryan
Doctrine.

1t is emphatically denied that the
United States government has any in
tention of paying the troops sent to the
Philippines with Mexican silver dollars.
The story was palbably canard, bu.
the man responsible for it was evidently
fully aware of the monetary conditions
in Manila, and he has furnished hint
to enterprising spectators that is like
ly to be acted upon. From present signs
it is probable that the money changers
will be busy when the American troops
reach the Philippines. If the soldiers
are paid in American gold and silver
coin they will exchange it of course for
other money, and the Mexican dollar,
which is current all through the orient,
will become extremely popular. The
Mexican dollar is worth just as much SO
far as its intrinsic value is concerned
as the American silver dollar, but one
American dollar will buy two Mexican
dollars, and the purchaser will have
enough left over to buy him glass of
beer at the army canteen.
If the American soldiers intend TO
spend their money in the Philippines
they will in reality receive double pay,
providing they are wise enough to ex-
change their Yankee dollars for "greas-
ers," which do not have the credit of
the government behind them. 1t is i'm
possible to believe that they will be so
shortsighted as to regard one dollar as
being quite as good as another. This
is practically the Bryan teaching, but
even those men in the expedition that
are most devoted to the silver cause are
likely to realize that there are dol
lars and dollars. 1t will be an object
lesson to many of them which will pos
sess the utmost significance. If, for ex-
ample, the United States mints were to-
day open to the free coinage of sill
yer the American dollar would be worth
no more than the Mexican dollar, and
in the buying power Of their money
these soldiers would receive only half
what will actually be paid them.-Troy
