Yes, sir; this is the whole of gradua-

Isn't it funny that there is always one
girl in every class who thinks more
about her studies than her frocks, and
cares nothing for flowers on commence

peculiar fervor of his political views
was not long In attracting the atten.
ton of Gen. Sumner, who was ther
commanding on this coast, and that
official clapped the valiant editor into
Alcatraz.
No Poetry for Him
Released after a while, he came
back to Southern California, settled
In San Bernardino and founded the
Guardian of that place. He ultimately
came back to Los Angeles and again
got possession of the Star and con-
verted it into daily
OF all the editors of whom I have any
knowledge, Henry Hamilton was the
man best adapted to tackling the
spring poet, who will shortly be inn
minent on the editorial horizon. There
was nothing of the suaviter in modo-
nothing mealy mouthed-a bout him. AS
soon as it was clearly apparent that
a man had come in to his office with
the view OF rendering him poetry, old
man Hamilton would jump excitedly
from his seat, spit on his hands, run
back in his office to get a good start:
and. yelling, Poetry, poetry Get out
of here, d---n YOU" he would hurl the
rash man into the street.
| don't know whether the deed was
done by spring poet, but on some
such an occasion the good Henry got
bullet through his leg, and Col John
o. Wheeler who happened in shortly
after, on pulling off the irate editors
boot, found it full of blood. Such were
those days of the strenuous, not to say
the simple life Such an insult as
rendering poetry to Hamilton was
almost certain to result in gore.
He Never Paid
The implicable Hamilton got tired of
running the Star somewhere In 1873 or
1874. and sold it out to George w.
Barter. This gentleman. in his own
way, was as unique a character as was
Hamilton himself His great distlnc-
ton was that he never paid anything,
under any circumstances whatsoever.
He had been captain i'm the Union
army during the war and was an
enthusiastic admirer Of the fair sex,
to whose gloriflcation he devoted most
OF the space OF his columns. Iago
never had a more attached disciple
than Barter, who had vowed to that
sentiment, Base is the slave that

Filled as it is today with magnificent
daily papers, some of them equal, in
many respects, to any published on the
American continent, it is hard for
many of our people to realize that
their fair city of the Angels has fur
nishcd a graveyard for many an am
bilious Journalistic enterprise, but such
is the fact.
The first Republican paper ever es-
tablished here was in 1868 1t was
founded by man named Jonathan
Work 1t did not last long. The Re-
publican party was years in taking
root in the southland.
Another of the dead ones was the
News, which was started by Alonzo
Write and A. j. King. II was a daily
and was edited by Captain Charles II,
Beane. Write was a Republican and
King Democrat of the Texas order
Its politics was Democratic.
Beane had most adventurous career.
He was born in Maine, though he was
a Confederate captain and fought on
that side all through the war. From
this, the type of his Democracy may
be inferred.
1t is not generally known. but it is
a fact, that Beane was a principal in
the last regular duel, with formal chal-
tNi'6N anu SSNOlluSt IOuBHl III n.
He thus closed up the chivalry record
and received a ball In the arm. The
contest was with Charley Wilson, a
son of Senator b. ID. Wilson, and grew
out of an article in the News, which ar
ralgned the elder Wilson on some
ground | have forgotten / do not know
whether or no Beane was ever wounded
IN the war, but he was shot in the leg
in some newspaper fracas.
Dead Thirty Years
The News suspended publication
about thirty years ago. It's death it
was generally understood, was owing
to its active opposition to the subsidy
TO the Southern Pacific railway, which
was given by Los Angeles after a long
and bitter contest. Singularly enough
Beane, who was a good fellow whom
nearly everybody liked, wound up his
eVenttul career by committing suicide.
The Los Angeles Daily Star was an
other of the moribunds which sur
Vlved the News several years. and
winch, In its time, had been owned and
edited by a number of men who were
Wen known all over California. IL was

astic Democrat of the pro-southern
type.

A Glasgow steamer was laboring m q
heavy sea, the waves sometimes sweeping
its decks. but the officers had assured the
passengers thar there was no danger, and
all seemed reasonably calm with the eX-
ception of one meek-appearing little man,
who, every few minutes, would approach
an officer and anxiOusly inquire II ne
thought the ship would founder.
'No. tell your! one Of them finally ex-
claimed with impotence. What Is the
matter with you? Look at those other
people-they are not scared TO death"
