ing Held at the Court House
Last Night.

The mass meeting Of members of the
Commercial club, business men and
other citizens at the court house last
night by vote of ~ to 5 adopted
resolution indorsing the action Of the
city council in granting a franchise
to the Automatic Telephone company.
President John B. Catron of the Com
mercial club acted as chairman of the
meeting. Captain P. B. Johnson offer
ed the resolution and made speech
in favor of a competitive telephone
system. He declared that he was op-
posed to all monopolies and he saw no
good reason for making an exception
in favor of the Pacific States COM
pany, whose service had proven far
from satisfactory.
John P. Kent followed in vehement
| speech in favor of free competition in
telephone service H. H. Turner read
communications from the presidents of
|
one strongly indorsing the automatic
system and telling of the better and
cheaper service it had given that city,
and the other declaring that he could
see no advantage and much confusion
in having rival systems.
]. T. Smith, ex-councilman from the
second ward, told of the manner in
which the franchise for the Pacific
States company had been railroaded
through the council by the smooth
work of c. B. Hopkins, who got what
he wanted without the crossing of
or the dotting of an i. Mr.. Smith said
he knew nothing of the automatic
telephone, but he was emphatically in
favor of competition.
C. NJ. RAIDER opposed the granting
of the new franchise. He said it would
mean that the people of Walla Walla
would be called upon to pay interest
on two costly investments instead OF
one. He preferred to endure the ill;
we have rather than fly to others we
know not Of"
Sumner Explains.
Charles E. Sumner, president of tn

to explain the merits of his system
Before doing so ne called upon j. A
Quinn, formerly of Spokane, now {
resident of Walla Walla, to tell wha
he knew of the automatic system. Mr.
Quinn explained that he had been one
of a committee of five designated b!
, the Spokane city council to visit Lo!
; Angeles and San Diego and report OF
the telephone systems in use there
He said that this committee found tina
success in San Diego, where it hat
the field to itself, and that in Los An
geles it was fast supplanting tn
manual system.
Mr.. Sumner then undertook to cor
rect some erroneous impressions
which he said were abroad in thi
community as the result of misrepre
sensations made by his business rivals
He said that the statement that hi
company had given better terms t
any other city of the coast than Wall;

LIGHT IS NOT NEEDED.
English Scientist Says Suns Effect on
Man is Bad.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
DIR. Charles E. Woodruff has made an
exceedingly interesting investigation of the
origin OF his investigation was an attempt
TO prove or disprove the theory that the
skin pigmentation Of man served to exclude
the short or actinic rays Of light whose
action Is to destroy living protoplasm.
II this theory Is true 1t will explain at
once many anthropoiogical riddles. We find
In + a reason why white men, while capital
colonizers in cold or temperate regions and
sagacious administrators of tropical colo
MES. have failed when they attempted
themselves to COLOMBO In hot countries:
why blonde types prevail in the cloudy. al
most sunless regions Of the north of Eu-
rope. brunette types IN the dazzlingly light
countr ies bordering on the Mediterranean.
and the negro In central Africa: and why
the type of man living in the tireless city
Is less blond than that Of the countryman
who has during a large portion of his out
door life the protection of woodland and
orchard.
Dr. Woodruff soon felt bound to admit
that the sun is not the beneficent deity We
thought him to be as We worshiped but
that he delights in sacrifices and Stays ruth
Iessly those who trust in him. 1t is hard
and 1t is almost a shock to be made to
realize that the vast majority of land ant
mails live IN absolute darkness" Yet DR..
Woodruff leaves little reason to doubt his
statements for, besides the cogency of his
reasoning from universally accepted facts.
he fairly brtstles with authorities whom he
cites IN support OF his position.

Indecent Posters.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

The activity of the police for the sup
ought to work revolution IN taste. what
ever effect 1t may have on morals. 1t Is
common theatrical trick to put more on
the posters than appears on the stage.
There is certain grade of melodrama
which does business on its sensational pos
tiers and far more attention is paid 20 the
quality of their printing than to their
performance. Some of the burlesque shows
suggest things on their posters which they
would not dare to put upon their stages.
because the police would promptly close
their theaters. The posters thus become
q fraud by arousing a curiosity that the
performance fails to crafty. II the police
in the limits OF decency they can as easily
keep the posters up to the same standard.
There towns where theatrical COM
panies are not allowed to post Objectionable
pictures. not through any action of the au-
thorities. but because the local manager
believes that such billboards injure his
business and he insists on inspecting the
paper" which Is sent to his house and re-
jecting that which will bring criticism on
his theater. In the large cities. where the
grades of theatrical entertainment are dis
tributed among a graded scale of houses.
the plan will not work because the people
who object to the iamboyant melodrama
of some billboard or to the indeeency OF
others do not attend the stheaters which
such printing Is used to advertise. They
have no way Of making their pressure felt

Hint Worth Following.

A hint was taken from the Chinese gar

An Old Handkerchief.

An elaborate piece OF such work which
has come down through several generations
is a handkerchief OF very large size COM
pared with the ones now in vogue.
The center Is of finest linen cambria. the
net band an eighth of yard wide; the
flowers Of embroidery were done in light
style. and are arranged in a continuous pat
tern or border around the handkerchief.
The inner line of Joining of net and cam
brio Is covered with fine vine of embroid-
cry, also transferred piece.
The outer edge Is finished with a double
row of scaliops, then done directly on the
