After Normal School

Residents of the Ninth ward. repre-
sented by the improvement association,
are in the contest for the state normal
school, following the sale of the pres
ent site of the state institution on
West Fifth street for a sum not less
than $500,000. 1t is contended that the
new grounds for the normal school
should be within the city limits, and
the Boyle Heights residents call atten-
tion to the many desirable sites in that
locality for the new building property
that may be had at a nominal cost to
the state. DR.. G.. w. Campbell. Judge
r. M. Lusk Major Powell, Warren
Wilson and J. b. Chaffey have been
named as a committee by the Ninth

'BENN|E' COIN
EFFECTS A COUP
LOCAL POLITICIAN JOINS AN
OTHER PARTY
Without Taking Anyone into His Con-
fidence, Walter Parker's Lieu
tenant Goes to Santa Ana
and Is Married

"Bennie" Cohn, one of Walter Par
ker's most trusted political lieutenants,
has proved that he can do some clever
scheming in a matrimonial way, at
least, without consulting either his chief
or any members of his own personal
family.
Yesterday Mr.. Cohn, who returned a
few days ago from Sacramento, where,
during the session of the late lamented
Legislature, he served as assistant SER
geant-at-arms of the assembly, entered
into an agreement with another party,
and this agreement he swore he would
keep through every campaign until the
great convention on the other side of
the StyX.
The "other party" in this case is Miss
Pearl H. Beatty a charming young wo-
in the affair Mr. COhn shows that he
can also keep secrets that are not poll
tical.
Apparently taking no one into their
confidence, Mr.. Cohn and Miss Beatty
yesterday hied themselves to Santa
Ana, the Gretna Green of Los Angeles,
and there were married by Justice
Smithwick.
Later they returned TO Los Angeles,
but their abiding place is known to only
a very few close friends because, as
ben" told one of these friends, he
didn't want the boys to blow them
selves on presents"
Took All by Surprise
The wedding was a surprise not only
to Mr.. Cohn's close friends, but to his
family as we'll. Mark Cohn, one of
four brothers and employed as a deputy
in Building superintendent Backus'
office, expressed great surprise when
informed that ben" was married. He
said that he talked with his brother a
few minutes before noon yesterday and
that Ben had said nothing about the
wedding, which occurred less than two
hours afterward in Santa Ana.
Mr.. Cohns mother, who was Delfina
Varelas de Cohn, member of one Of
the old Spanish families, and who mar
rled r. Sepulveda after the death Of
Bernard Cohn, one of the best known
old time merchants of Los Angeles, was
not aware of her sons intentions until
after the ceremony, although in a re-
cent lettor sent from Sacramento "Ben"
limited that a matrimonial coup was
possible in the near future.
Miss Beatty recently came to Los An
geles from Denver, where she gradu-
first meeting with her husbands fam
lily will be as his wife.
Mr.. Cohn was scheduled for an ap-
pointment as deputy constable under
the bill just signed by the governor, but
ii was lntimated last night that he
might make his home in the north.
He was born in Los Angeles thirty
four years ago. Mrs. Cohn's age is 26

OUR new COINS.
And Something About the Man Who
Designed Them.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The new
coins which are being issued from
the government have probably at
tracted as much attention as any other
coin which the United States has is
sued These coins depart from time
honored custom in various ways. but
especially in the designs of the eagle
and in the leaving out of the words.
''In God we trust
August st. Gaudens, who designed
the coins is an American product and
a self-made man. During his early
boyhood he was apprentice to a cameo
cutter and worked hard during the
day at his craft but at night he
studied art. Cooper Union and the
Academy of Designs were both useful
to him in this. In his 10Th year he
went to Paris and when he returned
several years later be brought back
with him to this country a remarkable
amount of polish with freedom. He is
an American, but could dwell at the
center of French art and only take
from 1t that which suited him. The
issue which is now being put out by
the mint is somewhat changed from
the original design and meets with
much less criticism than the former

the new coins to review the history Of
the words, I'm God we trust"
The motto, "In God we trust" now
stamped upon the gold and silver
coins of the United States, was, ac-
cording to a popular account, sug
gested by a resident of Maryland. In
1861, when Salmon P. Chase was Sec
rotary of the treasury, this gentleman
urged in a letter that, as we claimed
to be a Christian people, we should
make suitable recognition of that fact
on our coinage. The letter was re-
ferred to the director of the mint,
James Pollock, of Pennsylvania. In
Mr.. Pollock's report for 1862 he dis
cussed the question of a recognition
of the sovereignty of God and a
declaration of our trust IN Him on our
coins. The proposition to introduce a
motto upon our coins was favorably
considered by Mr.. Chase, who said, in
his report, that he did not doubt but
what it would meet with approval by
an intelligent public sentiment.
But congress gave no attention to
the suggestion, and in his next annual
report Mr.. Chase again referred to the
subject, and made a strong statement
of reasons for adopting it. The motto
suggested, In God we trust" is taken
from our national hymn, THE Star
Spangled Banner" The sentiment is
familiar to every citizen Of our coun-
try. 1t has thrilled millions Of Amer
lean freemen. The time is propitious.
IT'S an hour of national peril and dan
ger, an hour when mans strength is
weakness, when our strength and sal
walton must be Of God. Let us rever-
emily acknowledge His sovereignty and
let our coinage declare our trust in

ASKED TO BE KILLED
Locl1jaw Expert Is Himself Attacked
by the Disease.

Chicago, Dec. 26.-Dr. Joseph Peas
den. scientist occupying one of the
foremost positions with a large packing
firm, last night indicated by signs to
physicians at his side in the Chicago
Baptist hospital that he realized that
the attack Of lockjaw from which he is
suffering would prove fatal and begged
them to end his life with a drug.
The surgeons about him, Injured as
they were to the sufferings of others.
hesitated before the dumb appeal of
this man of science, probably more
skilled in the effects of the disease
which had seized him than any other
man in this country and then turned
away for fear that they might grant
his wish. Before the verdict Of the
dying man on his own case, they were
silenced for there could have been no
higher authority than his opinion.
When he found the law, written and
unwritten, would not permit his fellows
to end his sufferings, DR.. Peasden re-
signed himself to the care of the nurses.
He heard his physicians say that If he
lived another day there was hope for
him. He shook his head. They pre-
tended not to notice and left him in
the charge of a nurse with soothing
lotions to quiet his pain. Today will

WAGNER ON THE WARPATH.
Quack Doctors Sent Carload
Medicine for the Ball Player.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 26.-''It's bad
enough to have rheumatism in the
salary shoulder, but to have every
quack in the world know about it Is

Hans Wagner, the world famed
ball player made this remark today
when he received another carload of
patent medicines sent by kind persons
to fix up the rheumatism. Some time
ago it was mentioned that Wagner
was having a mild attack of rheuma-
tism in his shoulder and he asked the
Pittsburg club to allow him to lay off
for the whole season. This was pub
lished all over the country, when, ac-
cording to Wagner, every tenth per-
son in the United States got busy
sending him suggestions, circulars,
sample bottles, bundles of herbs, etc.
The heavy work of handling the
rheumatism remedies fell to the Of

last evening one whole side of one of
the offices was piled up with RENE
dies for Wagner. The Flying
