We have stopped the papers of
some mighty good men recently, but
we could not avoid it. They were
fully able to pay and are good pay,
yet they neglected us. We cannot
afford to send The Herald on long
credit, no matter who you are or
how much money you are worth. 1t
does US no good unless we can get
what is coming to us.
The play to be given by the young
ladies' in aid Of the Confederate

the opera house. Be sure to go. Ad-
mission, children 15c, adults Csc. Be
on hand early and secure agood seat:
This is a most worthy cause, and
there should be a crowded house.

Whole Family Goes Mad.

A strange case Of collective madness
is reported from Bellavllliers, France.
After partaking of the midday meal
the members of family named Aubry
developed queer eccentricities. A wo-
man, imagining that her hands were
dirty, spent the whole afternoon In
washing them. Another made her bed
in a heap Of smoking straw. Two men
occupied themselves in emptying and
filling rain tub for the rest Of the
day. The youngest member Of the
family wandered all day and all night
with one Of his feet bare. Another
man saw imaginary balloons, which he
wanted to show to everybody. Fortu-
nately this madness was Of short dura'
tion, for when the doctor arrived the
members bad returned to their normal
condition. Some poison in their food
is believed to be responsible.

SHE EMBRACED THE JUDGE.

order to sit down in the lap Of the first
attractive looking young man she sees,
and even old men have difficulty in
escaping the young girls afectionate
embraces.
Huldah is psychological puzzle. She
has been worrying the police and hu-
name society for nearly a year.
The police thought that the girl was
starting on q criminal career as Sec
ond Painting Bertha" but when none
of the victims of her affections coms
planned that he had been robbed the
police were more puzzled than ever.
They could not arrest the girl, for un-
der the city ordinances It is no crime
to kiss a man in the street unless the
man himself files charges. And none
of the men, young or old, who were
recipients of the handsome young Ia
dy's kisses had either the desire to OBJ
iect or to make charges which would
get them into the limelight and bring
down a shower Of wrath from wife or
sweetheart. /.
And 50 the girl continued her kissing
career uninterruptedly. Not even then
did her mania wear of nor did she lose
her passion for kissing, and finally the
humane society decided to arrest her
and send her to the reform school un-
der the juvenile Law.
The girl, hearing Of, the search for
her by the police, calmly came to the
police station, gave a fictitious name to
the chief Of police and while the city
was searched from top to bottom re-
mained safely hidden in the police ma
irons room. She was captured by ac-
cident next morning just as she was
leaving the station and was hailed BE-
fore Judge Brennan on charge OF IN
corrigibility.
In the courtroom she repeated her
kissing stunts on bunch OF newspa-
per men and then embraced Judge
Brennan, who lost no time in sentenc-
ing the girl to the industrial school for
three years at Mitchellville, where the
authorities hope she may be cured
On the way to the reform school she
again attempted to kiss all the good
looking men on the car, but the sheriff
restrained her, and she then attempted
to embrace him. Physicians who have
made a study Of the girls case are
greatly puzzled over her. 1t is the
opinion of many Of them that she Is
insane and that she was not responsible
at that time for her actions. The girl
possesses an uncomfortable temper and
fought furiously when told that she
would have to go to the reform school.
Then she cooled down and remarked
sweetly: "Just wait until make love
to that old superintendent. he doesn't
know what love means yet"
The superintendents wife happened
to hear the remark, and there IS al
ready more trouble brewing for the
young girl.

The days of the Prophets are said to be past,
but the time when there will be no fool claiming
the power to divine and foretell Coming events
that never Gomez is in the dim and distant future
The latest prophet predicted the explosion OF
the earth's crust under the cities of New York,
Chicago San Francisco and the upheavel OF the Pa
cc and other dire catastrophes. In explaining his
calculations he says:
"a hundred million years ago the MISSISSIPPI
valley was great mountain system as high as the
Rocky mountains now are Biologists tells us
how this great mountain system was worn down to
a level plain by the action of the wind and water
and the decay of rocks"
"About thirty millions of years ago the Applach-
ian mountains rose to the eastward, by crumbllng
up or folding of the earth's surface. These poured
their flood of waters down into the Mississippi
valley and it became the great Laramie Lake OF
prehistoric times, where the strange monsters
hourshed which scientists have dug up in the
last few wears. Five or ten million years ago the
Rocky mountain system was upheaved by volcanic
action.
Gan these great movements would have been
considered catastrophies by had he then exist
listed on the earth. Greater changes are now COM
ing than have ever before been witnessed by man
in his brief life on EARTH"

cause the Great Lakes to rush tidal floods thro the

The Enterprise has been waiting patiently 1or
a return of sane and reasonable rental rates. we
have of course been glad to sec property owners

their real estate but expected the good prices to
stimulate building sufficiently toguarantee reduc-
ton in rents for residence property. A consider
able number of houses have been built during the
wear but rents continue too high, entirely.
Our population would be quite some greater
than it is at present if rents were more reasonable
Every day we hear from one source or another the
complaint that it costs too much to live in Ftzger
gerald: of course every well informed man knows
what that means, that it indicates prosperity that
Fitzgerald is good town, for there il no better
evidence of dead town than nominal rates for
board and rent and wares and merchandise.
One of the greatest difficulties that the A. b.
& A. management has to encounter in the matter
of labor at the shops is the one that rents and
living in Fitzgerald are too high. We hope that
there will be sufficient number OF residences built
in the next few months to quite meet the require
ments and establish basis for living expenses that
will be more attractive to outsiders.

ACCIDENT CAUSES
PIONEERS DEATH
Bruise Received by Lurch of Street
Car Brings on Paralysis, from
Which Dwight Whiting
Dies

Following short illness, Dwight
Whiting, one of the most prominent
pioneers of the city, died yesterday aft
ernoon at his home, 627 st. Paul ave-
nue..
The fatal illness was brought on by
an accident April 5, which was not con-
sidered serious at the time. Mr.. Whit
ing was standing in the aisle of car
talking to friends when the sudden
lurch of the car sent him against the
seats and bruised his side.
Several days ago serious symptoms
were noticed and early yesterday it
was seen that his case was hopeless.
A post mortem examination was held
last night showing the cause of death
to have been paralysis Of the intes-
tines primarily caused by the accident.
Mr.. Whiting, who was SO years old,
came to Los Angeles twenty-five years
ago and had been prominently connect
ed with everything that tended for
the welfare of the city and was a large
property owner, having several large
ranches in his possession. He was a
member Of the California club.
Besides his wife Mr.. Whiting leaves
two sons, Dwight, aged 16, and George,
aged II. No arrangements have been
made for the funeral.
