That regal human grace of his;
Slow steps he home at set OF sun,
Nor knows how great he is.

As we are going back to the bar
barous mode of settling international
questions, would it not be well for us
to resort to the acdger Of battel, III
troduced into England by William

ent for this mode of settling national
disputes, in the case Of David and
Goliath. As the Spanish army will
probably be commanded by Weyler

agree to let these two officers repair

of the assistance of England, Germany
and Russia, is very well known. But
the determination Of Congress, which
knows that it reflects the over
whelming sentiment of the country,
would not be changed one iota, even
if formal notice was served on this
country that European force would
be used to prevent the carrying out
of the joint resolution just adopted,
to drive Spain out Of Cuba. Senator
Teller voiced the sentiment Of adj
ministration, Congress, and people
when he said: "There must be no
interference by the allied powers or
Europe. We should declare that

Met Yesterday to Discuss Penmanshir

Big men and women-principals Of

street school yesterday afternoon after
lesson hours and the troublesome small

their homes to tantaliZe their parents
These principals spoke of fingers, pens.
paper and things of that kind for they met
to decide upon what in their opinion, would
be the best system of writing for the board
of education to adopt for the school child
rem OF this city.
This is not the first time that this sub
ject has been discussed in educational cir
cles, for the board had time of it with
that very same matter week ago, and
they gave up in despair in the face of ar
guments presented by agents of two rival
publishing houses. AS final resort they
concluded to permit principals to have
something to say in the matter. though the
board. of course, retains the right to re-
Ject their recommendation. The matter
had resolved itself into two kinds of ver-
tical writing-the one exploited by the
Crocker company of San Francisco and
known as the California. and the other by
d. c. Heath & Co. of Boston, who term
their system the neutral"
oIndll groups OL Leu anu women were
discussing the matter between themselves
when John II. Braly of the board of edu-
cation, who also presided, called the
meeting to order. Then followed pro and
con argument that lasted an hour OF more
every one of the fifty persons present hav.
ing something to say. One principal, n
woman, said she preferred the natural
system, because. in her opinion, and from
personal observation, children wrote more
freely on paper without guiding line than
with it, fs featured by the California sys
tenn.
a vote resulted 35 to IS in favor of the
natural system, and the principals will
recommend it's acceptance to the board at
its next meeting. The California system
of penmanship was arranged by Mrs. ID.
Rodgers and Belle Duncan of Pa ,fic
Grove, Cal. and the natural system by A.
Il. Newlands and r. X. Row of Boston
The differenc between the two STYLES Is
very slight. The California has leaning

store of Rice Bros. on Temple street. near
Grand avenue, to be delivered at his
dwelling, 7O5 Coronel street. West had two
five-gallon cans at home, one marked
"OiI' and the other Gasoline" which
were kept as distinctive receptacles for
these liquids, and the defendants, up to the
date mentioned, had never mistaken one
can for another. On the day after the oil
had been delivered Mrs. West filled a
lamp from the can marked "Oil." AS soon
as she lit it, 1t became enveloped in flames
and ignited the tablecloth. She picked up
the lamp and threw 1t outside, where 1t
forthwith exploded, with the result that
the little girl, who was running away in
fear of being scorched. was wrapped in
flames and so severely burned about the
head, face and right arm that she was laid
up for several months. The plaintiff
claimed that Rice Bros. had mistakenly
filled the coal oil can with gasoline, and
that this caused the explosion.
Testimony was introduced to show that
some of the muscles and tendons of one
of the childs arms had been so seriously
injured as permanently to cripple the
limb. The case will take all day today.

WILLIAMS ASSAULT
Must Do Six Months for Beating Nor.
rison With the Latter's Cane

A. Williams, stout young man, was
tried yesterday in Department one of the
superior COURT on charge of assault with
deadly weapon, committed upon r. w.
Morrison, an old man, on December S0th
last at San Pedro. The whole trouble
seems to have been over an old wash bill
which Williams woman, "Susy" owed to
Morrison.
Williams accosted Morrison on the street
and told him that he did not want him
to dun his woman. but to present the bill
to him. Morrison said that defendant did
not owe him anything and turned away to
talk to n sailor man named Olsen, when
Williams struck him with his fist.
wrenched a heavy cane out of complaining
witness hand and beat him over the head
with it until rendered unconscious. When
Morrison regained his senses he was bleed
ing and badly cut. The jury found the de-
fendant guilty in short order of an assault
with deadly weapon, and Williams hav-
ing waived time for sentence, was ordered
confined for six months in the county Jail
by Judge Smith.
