lice station last night on charge of petty
larceny. He confessed to the police detec-
tives to having robbed his room mate. Yes
terday morning Kammroth and Chris Burg
man, his room mate, went to Captain of
Detectives Bradish to report that their room
at 53S South Flower street had been entered
by burglars some time Saturday night. The
thieves had stolen $l4 from the clothing OF
Burgman, and but $3.50 from Kammroth.
Bradish did not feel satisfied with the way
Kammroth acted, but he detailed an officer
to investigate the alleged burglary The
detective decided that it was impossible for
any thieves to have entered the room, and
robbed the two men. Kammroth was fol-
lowed and placed under arrest late in the
afternoon, as - had been spending consider
able money with the demi-mondes. The
detectives accused him of having robbed his
friend, and Kammroth admitted that this
was true. He still had $l2 in his clothes
when arrested.

PASADENA, Nov. 27. (Office of The Her.
aid, l6 West Colorado street. Tel. Red 675 y
A serious assault occurred tonight by which
Henry II. Matthay was pounded to jelly
| by his hostler, w. L. Elkins, better known
around town as Jack" The fight occurred
about o'clock at Matthay's feed stable,
52-54 East Union, near the corner of Ray
mond avenue. Stories differ as to the cause,
but Matthay now lies in his room with six
teen deep gashes and two contusions that
have made mincemeat of his face and head
from far down the back of his neck clear
over his bald pate and down to his chin. He
looked as if a railroad train had run over
his head and face.
Elkins is known to his employer as Jack
Waters" and hitherto has borne good repu-
tation among the men about town. Jack
says that Matthay came home from town
tonight drunk ard called for the days re-
ceipts. On receiving them Matthay de-
manded 70 cents more. Jack said: You
are pointing to yesterdays account. You
have all of today's." Matthay called him a
liar, and said: iii make you dig up" draw
ing his gun. Jack then went for him, as
evidenced in the results. After the en-
counter Jack went to the city marshal's Of
fee and told his story as above and gave
his address, so that if a warrant was sworn
out for him in the morning they would know
where to find him.
Henry H. Matthay was found by Herald
reporter at DR.. Bridgham's office, on East
Colorado street, undergoing repairs. He
was still too drunk to talk coherently, but
between groans and stitches said in SUBJ
stance thad he was sitting quietly in his chair
when Jack came up and began to pummel
him. He knows no more until he got up
and asked his man what he did it for.

nafOShlpS ana OlmCul-
ties as shall fall upon them"
What self-renunciation and heroic purpose
was this! They drowned witches to be sure,
but that was no part of their puritanism. 1t
is to the puritan women we owe SO much for
that spirit in our people which gives them
the fortitude to endure hardship and stake
life and fortune for their convictions.
The American women of to-day have the
spirit of their puritan mothers, but their
constitutions are not rugged or able to en-.
dure half the hardships of these New Eng
land ancestors. Very often they are run
down with weaknesses and irregularities
peculiar to their sex, and the constant drain
upon their vitality makes them chronic in
valids. Many women hesitate to 60 to
their family physician, because they dread
the local examinations so generally insisted
upon by practitioners.
Such women should write DR.. R. v.
Pierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N Y, giving full description of
their symptoms, history, ETC., so that he
can give them the best possible medical
advice. If DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton seems to suit the case the Doctor will
say so. If not, then he will give medical
advice which will put such women on the
rapid road to recovery and health.

disturbing the peace. Some time ago Ku-

woman named Mary Howard. After COM

been hanging about the house. Finally
Judah took him into the house and allowed
him to talk with the woman, but she was
not the inamorata of his soul. This did not
satisfy the Jap, though, for he got the idea
into his head that the woman was there,
and they were trying to prevent his seeing
her. He annoyed the family SO much that

American Lady Coming Back to Civil
ization Again

Mrs. w. F. Shields, who has been living
for several years in the heart of Laos, in
Southeastern Asia, is on herway to Southern
California, having landed at San Francisco
late last week from the steamer Coptic. She
brought her three children with her, besides
a servant. Mrs. Shields has an interesting
story to tell of that country, which is de-
scribed by even late geographers as almost
wholly unknown to Europeans. There are
about a million people in all scattered over
the wild country of Laos, which is sur
rounded by Burmese and Cambodian terri
tory, and is crossed by the Mekong river.
The people go about from place to place
in migrating bands mainly, but in the un-
penetrated interior, where population is
concentrated, they are ruled by king.
Mrs. Shields has been living at the small
town of Praa, where one or two German ar4
English firms are beginning to do some bust
ness. The main trade, however, is with the
merchants of Tonquin.

ARITHMETIC MADE EASY
Novel Invention Which Solves Prob

Prof. S. w. Burnham, the Chicago astron-
omer, has invented calculating machine
which will tighten the labor of the mathe.
matician in intricate and involved work.
Simple in construction, by its aid multiplica-
tion and division, the extraction of square
roots, and roots up to the ninth power entail
no more mental work than the mere moving
Of a screw and an index hand The prin-
ciple is the same as that of the sliding COM
putting rule, but it does away with the
double work of the use of the sliding rule.
Professor Burnham applies the principle
to two metal circles, one within the other,
The scale is cut on the inner edge of the
outer circle. Both are cut together on the
machine, so they register exactly. The
scale is divided into 1000 lines, with extend
ed lines at the hundreds and tens. Th,
inner circle is movable. This permits an
indefinite prolongation of computation.
