NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM LONG BEACH
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, April 13.-At a meet
ing Of the directorate of the hotel COM
pany an assessment of $40 on each
share of stock was voted. This as
sessment, payable on or before May
Is, was levied for the purpose of pro-
viding more money for the purchase Of
furnishings for the Hotel Virginia. Ow-
ing to delays in providing for the fur
nishings, 1t is probable that the opening
Of the hostelry cannot take place on
July 4, as had been planned.
This afternoon the opening games of
the Sunday School baseball league were
held. The Christian church lads were
lined up against the Methodists, while
the Baptists played against the nine
from st. Lukes Episcopal church.
The Long Beach Bath House COM
pany has ordered "circling wave," a
new amusement contrivance similar tC
the circular swing. The affair will be
operated on the strand about June 1.
two-story building costing $4,000
will be built on the strand, just west OF
Magnolia avenue for the accommodation
of the employees of the Hotel Virginia.
The building will contain fifty rooms.
The hotel company will lease 1t for five
years.
The meeting called for last night at
the tabernacle for a discussion of the
proposition to vote bonds for purposes
of school Improvement was slimly at
tended and 1t was decided to call an
other meeting for April 23
Demurrers filed in the cases against
DR.. w. H. Prittie and Jacob Beatus of
Los Angeles, charged with violating the
liquor ordinance, were overruled this
morning by Recorder Hart. The cases
We're postponed for several weeks.
A S54-pound Jewish was caught last
evening by Joseph Smith in the fish
ing boat Eagle. The fish was hooked
on trolling line, and put up a lively
fight for some time before it was sub
dued.
The trolling season seems to be at its
height. Numerous barricuda are caught
every day by passengers in, the fishing
smacks, and the pier markets are we'll
supplied.
Owing to the failure of the regular
transportation committee to report on
the matter, a new committee of seven
was appointed at the chamber of COM
merce meeting to interview the Pacific
Electric officials in regard to better
service between this clay and Los An
geles.
In one of the most rousing short talks
ever heard at a meeting OF the cham
Der of commerce, l.. E. Behymer of
Los Angeles spoke of the coming
to this city of the Chicago Symphony
orchestra. The promoter took occasion
to compliment the auditorium and said
that for soloists and orchestras it is
one of the best halls in the land He
said that If the coming musical event
was properly patronized 1t would do
much toward placing Long Beach on
the musical map of the United States.
Behymer's exhortations to the business
men to wake up" and advertise their
town more were roundly applauded.

ENGLISH SOCIETY RULES
FOR DECORATING TABLE
Special Gable to The Herald.

LONDON, April IA Society But
terfy' gives these points on decorating
a dinner table:
"A good rule is to keep to one bloom
only, or, at any rate, to flowers of the
same odor. The foliage that belongs to
the chosen flowers should always, be
used-their own leaves. This, however,
does not prevent the use of some other
greenery, such as smilaX or maidenhair
fern-anything that will give the re-
quired lightness of effect. Soft green
moss is often help.
art fabrics, and all else that is
gaudy and garish, should be avoided on
a dinner table. Such accessories as
fairy lights, sheets of looking glass, or
pieces OF chiffon, satin, silk, velvet or
eastern embroideries are never seen in
any of our good houses.
Flowers and candle shades should
correspond in colors, red shades with
and so on.
"These are days of electric light, but
the light on dinner table should al
ways be that of wax candles. The best
candles must be used, and they should
be lighted for some minutes before din
ner Is announced in order that they
may burn steadily
"A fine white table cloth, fresh from
the hands of a first-rate laundress, and
carefully spread on the top of a thick
blaze cover, provides the best back
ground for floral decorations
Strongly scented flowers should
never, be used In London dining

TAKES BATH AND
IS SENT TO JAIL
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Charles Ny
goly, who says he is sailor and his
home is at Shreveport, La, was this
morning held in $1,000 bail on a charge
of taking a bath. He had the same ex-
cuse as the man who stole the loaf Of
bread, he needed it, but that made no
difference to Magistrate Finelite, and
he sent him to prison, where he can
take a bath daily without the trouble
of climbing through a second-story
window to get to the tub.
Mykoly was discovered in the country
home of william H. Hurst, at Deport
lane and Riverside drive, at 1 O'Clock
this morning. Policeman Troll was rid
ing past the house when he saw a lad
der against the house and a second
story window open. He called Police
man Cavanaugh to his aid, and after
accommodating the two officers rode to
the West End hotel at 173d street and
deputized the proprietor and an auto
mobile proprietor to aid them in catch
ing the intruder.
Returning to the house the two Off
GERS tried to mount the ladder together.
The ladder broke and they rolled to
the grass. Then Cavanaugh was boost
ed through the window and began a
search of the house, while the crowd
stood guard outside. At last Cava-
naugh saw light in the bath room,
and, with his club in one hand and his
pistol in the other, he pushed open the
door.
What he saw was the water-loving
Mykoly. His only covering was a
stream of water that flowed from a
rubber spray, and he apparently was
enjoying life to the limit. Cavanaugh
forced him to dress, then led him to the
window and pointed to the ladder,
which had meanwhile been repaired
with tools from the automobile kit.
Mykoly took his life in his hands and
started down the ladder. 1t broke
again, and he rolled in the yard, losing
much of the worth of his stolen bath.
Cavanaugh jumped from the window,
and then the march to the 152d street
station began. The journey was made
with the prisoner as a member of the
automobile party and the two mounted
policemen as outriders. The station
house was reached without further mis-
hap, and Mykoly spent the night in
cell.
This morning he felt as though he
had made a mistake in using up all
his loot last night He needed it badly,
after his night in cell.

BARRIERS TIPS. ARE
LIKELY TO STAY
Special Gable to The Herald.

PARIS, April 13.-Again there is talk
OF .suppressing tips in barber shops, burt
1t is Just the same as ever, only tank. In
reality there is about as good q prospect
OF abolishing BARRIERS tips as of abolish
ing concierges or a few other primeVal
customs equally we'll rooted.
If BARRIERS tips should be abolished the
proprietors would simply raise their
prices accordingly. Under the existing re-
gime a shave In an ordinary shop costs
20 centtmes % cents). On the quiet, / will
tell you 1t Is not worth more than that
Add 10 centimes (2) cents for the tip and
the total is 50 centimes q cents).
BY the new plan the price of a shave
would be 40 centimes Is cents), as 80 CEN
times q oents) would not be convenient to
count, Thus, on a no tip basis every map
would pay 40 centimes Is cents) all in
cluded. But the question Is. What the
alleged tonsorial artist show the same
tender care In his work without a tip?
There is suspicion that he would not,
but, on the other hand would leave on
his customers faces traces of his indif-
ference.
No man who respects his own visage
would dare TO return to a barber shop
where he had previously failed to drop
sous in the employees cash box. 1t is a
good guess that If tips are abolished the
customers will have occasion to read
signs In the shops, Tips are forbidden,
but gifts are permitted"

PASADENA, April 13.-Guy H. Wood
of the First National bank of Pasadena
has resigned his position with that in
stitution and will become cashier of the
Union Exchange bank of Los Angeles,
which will open for business next Mon
day. Mr.. Wood has been prominent in
banking circles in this city during the
past five years.
The anti-cigarette track meet, which
was to have been held April 20, has
been postponed until April 27. This is
the intergrammar school meet, the con-
testants in which must have refrained
from using tobacco in any form during
three months previous to the contest.
The meet this year promises to be a
very large one and over a thousand in
terested people are expected to attend.
The county supervisors have set men
at work on two of the most important
street improvements inaugurated in AL
tadena for some time. New York ave-
nue. from Lake avenue to the Living
ston property is to be graded and oiled,
while Lake avenue from the Pasadena
city limits to the north Altadena city
limits will be similarly treated. The
only difference between the two pieces
of work is due to the fact that the
property owners pay for the oil used
on the New York avenue job, whereas
the county pays for the oil on the other
street.

PEBBLES FIGURE
IN 4 ROMANCE
Dan Cupid Takes a Hand and, as
Usual, Two Loving Hearts
Are Made to Beat
as One

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, April 13.-Little Dan Gu
pid came to Chicago few years ago
bent upon mischief and perpetrating a
new experiment upon frail humanity.
He discarded his bow and culver of
darts, and took up the more up-to-date
sling-shot and some little pebbles. He
drew back his sling and threw two of
his pebbles into the air. They fell to
earth he knew not where.
He did not stop to learn, because the
second shot hurt his little fingers.
"'Twas poor attempt at heart-slay-
ing" was his comment.
When little Dan returned to Chicago
recently to do up his spring work he
met one of the greatest surprises of his
life. Those two little pebbles brought
about the prettiest romance Chicago
has seen for some years. Their flight
through the air resulted in the marriage
of Miss Grace Elain Longnecker and
DR.. Frederick Random Whipple. The
ceremony was performed at the home
of the brides parents, 6443 Peoria
street.
The story opens seven years ago
when Miss Longnecker was only II
years old and studying music in Chi
cago. Her head was filled with notions
of living for art and art alone.
One day this little musical miss was
seated in the window of her studio
looking over one of her many harmony
books She was studying, and the out
side world was for the time shut from
her mind. Suddenly there came little
rap on the window.
Again the tap came, more insistent,
and this time she looked out of the
window. Across the court in a window
just opposite sat two young men. Both
were smiling at her pretty, puzzled ex-
preston. She knew instantly what
caused the taps on the pane. 1t was
two little pebbles.
"You must not let them think you
even noticed them" was her room
mates comment That evening came a
note to the young woman asking per-
mission to call The matron finally con-
sented and the next day the young men
appeared. The author of the little note
was F. r. Whipple, a young medical
student.
What followed is another strange
story. The girls could not decide which
they liked best. One was blonde, the
other decidedly dark. Here 1t is in
Mrs. Whipple's own words:
II said when the boys came in that
we should think hard for five minutes,
then wink at each other-one wink for
the blonde and two for the brunette.
We sat quietly for five minutes and
then looking at one another we both
slowly closed one eye. Here was a COM
plication, and so we decided to draw
lots for the blonde, l won. He was DR..
Whipple."

Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, April 13.-It is rumored
that the South Pasadena cars may be
sent straight through via the main
line as of old. Henry e. Huntington,
since his return from his eastern trip,
has become quite dissatisfied with the
way things are now operated and will
order, it is rumored, the straight
course of South Pasadena cars via
the old line to the Crown City. At
present the cars are run to Mission
street from Los Angeles and then sent
back. This plan was inaugurated to
reduce the congestion on the short line
tracks after passing Mission street,
but has evidently proven a failure.

LONG BEACH. April 1s.-Through
local representative Of the Pacific Elec-
trio company announcement was made
today of a proposed change in sched-
ules and the manner of operating the
cars over the Long Beach division
which is highly gratifying to those
who for some time have contended that
this beach should have better service
Instead Of the flfteen-minute sched-
ule which is in effect now from morn
ing until evening, while after that the
intervals are heightened to thirty and
forty y-ive minutes, there will be a
twenty minute schedule in operation
from $50 in the morning until the
last car has come down from Los An
geles at midnight. Moreover trains Of
two cars each will be run constantly.
The interurban cars will not stop
to take on or discharge passengers be-
tween Watts station and the depot at
Sixth and Main, in Los Angeles. Pas
sengers for intermediate points will
take local cars running between Watts
and the Huntington building every ten
minutes
The interurban cars will be equipped
with the multiple control system so
that when necessary three or four cars
can be run.
e. G. Paul, station master here, is
working in conjunction with the train
dispatcher in Los Angeles to prepare
also more satisfactory schedule for
the local lines in this city.
The chamber of commerce and the
city council have both adopted reso-
lutions recently in which they ask for
an Improvement in the car service
claiming that the electric company has
not kept pace with the growth of Long
Beach in furnishing adequate transpor-
tation facilities. The crowded condition
of the night cars has been especially
commented upon. The new schedule,
which will furnish practically a ten
minute schedule, will remedy this.
