CHAPERON FAILS TO DO DUTY
AT CLUB
Many Fair Maidens Fail to Go to
Classes Because of Sad Havoc
Wrought by Excessive
DeIcacies
r-r-r-ri Horrors! Awful!

Br-r-r-r! Horrors! Awful!
Twenty pretty high school girls, the
principals in a terrible, terrible scan
dal!
A score of dainty and dashing maid
ems with rosy cheeks and sparkling
eyes on tear not unlike in motive
that of their "big brothers" and
'papas," who go out for "jolly good
time" Think of it!
The young women represent the
elite of the freshmen, sophomore, ju-
nior and senior classes of a prominent
high school in Los Angeles. But, oh
my! how carefully everything dealing
with details has been covered up.
In the sound-proof and identity
proof mantle that has been spread
over the "doings" of last Saturday af-
ternoon, a microscopic leak has sprung.
Yesterday the faintest sounds We're
emanating through the tiny aperture
When roll call takes place this morn
ing in this high school twenty vacant
seats will respond in sympathetic si-
lence as the names of the "conValesc-
ing girls are called out by the teacher
in charge. Tomorrow the principal of
this Institution will begin a perusal of
score of:
Kindly excuse my daughters neces-
sary absence on Monday, on account
of illness, and oblige,

"P. S.-Please allow her to make

Chaperon Was Too III for Duty
The young women who make up the
membership roll of the club (name is
withheld by requesD devote Saturday
afternoons to different sorts of pleas
ure In her don't care much for that
sort of fun" the "doings" of the club
are always supervised by chaperon.
So in the past they have always been
''Very good"
But last Saturday the chaperon was
too i'll to attend to her duties, so she
left the girls to themselves, believing
they would be las good in her absence
as in her presence" The result was
sudden fall from grace and a bad
bump for each little grille
The members Of this club devoted
most of their time to the study of the
manufacture of things that tickle the
oesophagus and a varied list of amuse-
ments that tend toward the develop
ment of a brand of laughter charac-
terized by shrill trlls of the scales
from the third to the eighth octave
and often terminated by screeches and
screams. A side issue Is the discussion
OF the gowns worn by them at the
most recent cotilllon.
Go on Wild Old Spree
Last Saturdays stunt was a migra-
ton from home to home of each of. the
girls and the partaking of luncheon
al each stopping place, OF course, the
chaperon would never have permitted
such violent treatment OF the dainty
stomachs of the girls had she been
present; but "she wasn't so there"
said each girl.
AT Grace's home II was cake and
ice cream; at Mabel's course of
chocolate and lady fingers; at Fanny's

candles and slipped lemonade through

Then he worked for fourteen years

Damian at MOlokai and spent eight
years there with him.
Later, Father COnrardy entered the
Portland Ore, Medical College, and
was graduated with the degree of NJ.
ID. in 1900. He then made his way 10
Canton, China, and placed himself at
the disposal of Bishop Chausse, the
vicar apostolic, but as the country
was then disturbed by war the time
was not considered OppOrtune for mis-
sionary work. The present bishop,
MOnsigneur Merel, has taken up the
work, however, and has authorized
Father COnrardy TO lecture and work
up interest in behalf of the Canton
lepers. Father COnrardy has lee.
turad in several large cities in Bel.

FEATURES OF HEPBURN
RAI ROAn BATE E

l.
Washington, Feb. S.-The following
is a summary of the Hepburn rail-
road rate bill on which the house
voted today:
The bill, according to Hepburn was
intended and did so far as it could
be made to comply specifically with
the recommendations of President
Roosevelt ON the rate question. 1t
gives the Interstate Commerce COM
mission authority when a rate has
been complained of as unreasonable,
by shipper, to investigate the rate,
state whether or not it is unreason-
able and if found to be unreasonable,
to name a rate, which is to be just
and reasonable and fairly remunera-
tive, which is to be the maximum rate
charged. This rate so fixed is to go
into effect thirty days after it is an
nounced by the commission, subject
during that time to be set aside or
suspended by the commission or the
Cou.ts. After il has gone into effect,
it is to remain for three years. An
other important feature is the defini-
tion of the words railroad" and
transportation" in a manner to in
clude all the auxiliary instrumental
ties of a common carrier and to bring
them within the control of the COM
mission. These are new features,
but all of the other provisions are
notifications of the existing law.
They include publicity of railroad
methods, which is to eaided by pre-
scribing a system of bookkeeping and
enlarging the commission to seven
members and increasing salaries to
$4,000 year.

would suggest that steps be taken to
educate us along these lines; this
city can better afford to pay a little
more than its real value rather than
have a bone of contention for the
next thirteen years, the time of the
life of the franchise of the water
works company.
A. Simpler, Merchant favor mu-
nicipal ownership, and am not op-
posed to buying the old plant at the
price agreed upon.
Col. John Borradaile, Merchant
am not in favor of buying the plant
at S25O,OOO or any other price. They
are talking of cutting off the revenue
from gambling that supports the
schools; that means more taxation
from the people, to keep up the
schools. A city hall is wanted;
more taxation; paving must be done,
still more taxation. Our taxes are
too heavy now, and buying the plant
would only increase them. If | was
buying the plant for second hand
goods | would not pay over S150,000
for it,.
Dr. J. f. Pearce-I think the plant
of the water company is worth 5000, -
600 and would estimate the good will
and franchise at $4,000, so | believe
If my opinion is correct, that the price
agreed upon is not excessive. | am
strictly in favor of municipal owner
ship, because | believe then we can
gel cheap water and plenty of it.
O. A. Matson, Merchant-I am in
favor OF municipal ownership of the
water plant and therefore in favor of
the city buying the old plant, but
am not a water expert and cannot tell
whether the price agreed upon is ex-
cessiye or not
G.. A. Hudson, Merchant am a
taxpayer of this city; am in favor of
municipal ownership and if we are to
own the water supply why not put in
an up-to-date new plant instead of
buying the old plant, which we all
know IS now too small for the present
needs Of the city,
J. T. Luthy, Property Owner-I am
I'm favor Of municipal ownership; am
i'm favor of the city purchasing the
present old plant for what II is worth,
bu' think S25O00O is too much.
o. Bachechi, Merchant think the
city should buy the water plant, but it
looks 10 me ike certain people are
ppcu.ating. They want too much of
he peoples money.

TILLMAN TALKS WITH
HIS USUAL NIGOR.

Senator Tillman opened proceedings
vigorously by referring to the petition
presented to him for the Red Rock
Fuel company of West Virginia, COM
planning that the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad company refused to permit
the complaining company to connect
its tracks with those Of the Baltimore
* Ohio, thus, as Tillman expressed IT,,
'bOttlng up the company He said
that AT one time Elkins had said that
there was a remedy under the state
laws Of West Virginia. He then pre-
scented letter from Governor Dawson
Of West Virginia, complaining Of the
difficulty OF administering the laws.
The governor added:
1T may be that the Pennsylvania
Railroad company does not legally
own the controlling part of the Balu-
more & Ohio, or the Chesapeake q
Ohio, or the Norfolk q Western, but |
have no doubt that investigation will
show that the Pennsylvania company
practically controls these three great
trunk lines which traverse West Vir-
ginia, and which are the only means
whereby products of this state, includ-
ing coal, can be shipped to either the
lakes in the west or other markets in
the east, hence it is a fact, that West
Virginia today is in the grasp OF the
railroad trust. which means practically
that they dictate which part of the
state shall be developed and which
part shall not be developed: how
much coal shall be shipped out of the
state; TO what points or ports il shall
be shipped and when it shall be ship

that there would he an investigation
along the lines suggested by Governor
Dawson, He said the governors COM

road trouble all over the country.
