THE MEssENGER GIRL.

We respectfully call the attention of the messenger boys in this city to the messenger girl. She is at work in Bayonne, New Jersey, where a fifteen- year-old girl applied at the telegraph office for place as messenger. She was accepted and did excellent service, but the superintendent dismissed her because he did not think 1t looked well to have a girl messenger. But the manager missed her, and on his appli- cation she was reinstated. She wears a suitable uniform, rides a bicycle when delivering messages, studies tel egraphy when not at work, and at tends strictly to business during office hours. She does not play craps or marbles on the way; does not stop to square accounts with some rival; has n't the habit of gazing into shop win dows half an hour at a time doesn' t take surreptitious rides far into the country; doesn't pitch pennies, chew,
 smoke or swear, and doesn't waste time when sent on an errand.
 We suppose the messenger boy will
 despise the messenger girl, for awhile, at least, until she menaces his job,
 But he will do well to see what is coming and improve himself in other ways than by reading exciting books and. talking baseball lingo.

No further experiments have been made with the object of protecting tur- rets contemplated for the battleships South Carolina and Michigan and the larger one, for which plans were au- thorized by congress. The tests were planned to ascertain whether the ar mament of the turret guns which would fire over the top of the turret situated below would prove disastrous to the occupants of the lower turret. Some experiments have been conducted at the naval proving ground at Indian Head, and indicate that it will be necessary to do something for the relief of the situation, although 1t will probably be nothing more than uncomfortable for those in the lower turret when the up per turret guns are fired directly over their heads. It is conceived that this direction of the gun fire would be a rare occurrence, if it ever really hap pened in actual battle, but it is felt that some protection should be given under the circumstances. The present plan is to have thin armor plate 80 installed above the lower turret as to take up the gun blast.

The value of anti-malarial public works is well Illustrated by what was done at Klang and Port swettenham in the Malay States. At total cost of $50,0OO a large area was drained and covered with grass. Before this was done the deaths from malaria in one year amounted to S6S; last year the number was only forty-f1ve-a saving of S2S lives in a year. In the rest of the district which had not been drain ed the deaths showed a large gain in the same period.

The Mexican government IS seeking to develop the cultivation of bananas in that country. For several years experiments have been mado with a view of converting the fruit into a flour for food purposes. These experi- ments are said to have been successful, and it is intended to start two estab- lishments on the gulf coast of Mexico for the purpose of converting the banana into a flour, and of shipping the product to the United States, As the flour is exceeding nutritious, 1t is anticipated that there will be no lack Of demand for it.

Then Clapp handed o1or two or three more and each on being read turned out to be the wrong one. The galleries were roaring and finally Clapp became rattled.

They do die An ancient pensioner of France died the other day. Through all the changes of dynasties and forms of government an old servant of Charles x, the last king of France, had been drawing his stipend. Tn 1880 Charles granted a pension of e12 year to one of his men servants, and year in and year out ever since, whatever system might be up or down, the good fellow religiously presented himself on pension day to draw his ZIP, and just as relig- iously every succeeding finance minister had 1t ready for him. When he died the ancient pioneer was a centenarlan.

at the Wheel Again.

The streets of Los Angeles, after
being closed to socialist meetings
for over a year, are now open again.
1t is supposed that the authorities,
learning that a desperate fight to
the finish" was about to begin, de-
cided to save themselves a world of
trouble, by gracefully backing
down. -- -......... .......
They were undoubtedly well in
formed, for we had three stalwarts
in the city, whose fearlessness and
experience in fighting for free speech
are we'll known to the police of the
Pacific coast. Arthur Morrow

police of Portland, Seattle and Van
couver, b. c., during the summer
were an unbroken string of victor

took hand in the Portland struggle
and fought single handed the po-
lice of North Yakima, Washington,
and who sampled San Francisco

never connected with defeat, and

gle in Oakland, where the victory
was ours. With this combination
of fighters. and local tired of be-

of the Salvation Army and the
holy jumpers, the sudden col
lapse of the police opposition has
robbed the citizens of Los Angeles
of collection of trouble and ex-
citement, such as has rarely been in
any one city in this country since
the civil war. For the next few
months Arthur Morrow Lewis will
hold street meetings every Satur-
day night on the corner of Market
and Spring, from 2 to Q O'Clock, and
ever Sunday afternoon on the south
side of the Plaza, from ago to s
O'Clock. ...-r.r
The new hall we have secured,

size of the one we had previously.

Like children before Christmas, the
old party aldermen are very apt to
be good near election day, when
they will need the workingmen's
votes. Therefore at the last meet
ing of the city council, il was voted
to appeal from this decision of Judge
Halsey, and carry the case into the
supreme court. This court will
probably prove as bad as the other,
but at least all this enables the social
lists to keep up the agitation for the
eight-hour day.
There has long been conspiracy

DIR. Houghton got the consent of the
committee to make a few remarks
and concluded by announcing

offered a public challenge to DR..
Houghton or Job Hartman or any
one else of standing, who believed
in the Schmitz movement, to de-
bate the proposition:
| Resolved: That the man who casts
a ballot for the Schmitz- Ruef ct. al.
Union Labor Party, betrays the
real cause of the working class.
