Inconvenience of Child Marriage

A marriage took place the other day, the
parties being'a Bhattia widower of about 40
and Bhattia girl of about 9. The disparity
in age is rather startling and it is aggra-
waited by other circumstances. For instance.
the widower has a daughter of about IS en-
gagged as teacher at school at which her
father is honorary manager. And his girl
wife of 9 is pupil at the school under his
daughter of Is. The first thing the girl wife
of 8 did on marrying was to demonstrate
with her daughter of Is as to how she, her
mother, could possibly sit at school on a
bench while the daughter taught her from
a chair. What is the poor daughter to do!
She must give up her appointment as school
mistress or her dear mother of must give
up attending school. 1t is for the father
and husband to decide-Indian Spectator.

A PITIFUL CASE
A Cripple Who Was Thrown Adrift on
the World

The attention of Humane Officer Clark
was called to the presence in the city jail
of Roy Frye, l5-yearold boy. The boy
has been in the Jail for some days past as a
lodger, but he is subject for medical aid.
He is a cripple, and it is believed that he
was shipped here from San Diego county TO
escape the expense of his keep. Oregon,
Washington and other places in the north
have taken advantage of the benevolent
spirit of Los Angeles to ship their INDECENT
poor here, and San Diego probably thought
they had greater claims and followed suit
The Frye boy says his home is forty or
fifty miles from San Diego, and that he was
sent to Los Angeles by his people.
Since his arrival he has been taken to the
Medical college, but the doctors say that an
operation in his case is useless, and that
nothing can be done for him.
Mr.. Clark will try TO have the boy returned
to his people in San Diego.

The Gold Standard

The following letter from Sir Moreton

doubly important:
My Dear General Howard:

causing epidemics. The causes of the
disorders are many, but most of them
are dysentery. A number of important
persons are i'll. An abattoir has been es-

shortly be exhausted. The stock Of fuel,
too, is exhausted. and the bakers are

SEIZURE OF PROPERTY.
A decree has been issued authorizing
the entry of private premises and the
seizure OF horses and cattle for a nominal
payment made in worthless drafts. Sew
eral animals belonging TO British owners
have been taken, though there were
plenty belonging TO Spanish owners that
had not been seized.
An attempt was made to seize the

been expressed. There may possibly be
