a significant story was told here today
during a discussion of politics and condi-
lions financial. The story is as follows:
The World-Herald in 1886 had a story
that a man walked forty miles TO Aims

played It up as a display of great patriot
ism and love for the man. The other day
Mr.. Bryan spoke at Ainsworth and the
same man rode in forty miles in his auto

The Girl In BOARDING School

When the consensus of opinion seems
to be that you are the most conceited
girl in school, or the worst "knocker."
don't go off into corner and weep and
decide that they are mean, hateful
set of girls, and you want to go right
home to mother. Probably it's all true,
what they say, anG even mother her
self has caught glimmering of that
fact once in while, and mothers
friends saw it with a clearness that
was dazzling. That's one of the les
sons you came to learn, and you should
be glad that you can learn 1t now while
YOU have a chance to turn over a new
leaf before an audience who will hail
each Improvement with delight, and
take you back into full fellowship as

Significance of your own attainments

COUNCIL SESSION
WILL BE LIVELY
SEVERAL TOPICS LIKELY TO
CAUSE LONG DEBATE
Fire Alarms, Bridges and Referendum
Petitions May ae Discussed, and
Long. Drawn-out Meeting
Is Probable

Today's session of the city council is
expected to be a rather lengthy one,
several items provocative of debate be-
ing scheduled for consideration.
One of the issues that confront the
council is that of hurrying work on
bridges. There is clamoring from sew
eral sections of the city for better
bridge facilities, and as July approaches
constituents of the various councilmen
realize they must make public senti-
ment for bridges AS some wards have
nd occasion for bridges they cannot ex-
pect much enthusiasm in these parts.
Councilman Blanchard has finally
succeeded in getting the Los Pesos
bridge scheme through and the next
likely to carry are the Pasadena ave-
nue. and Downey avenue bridges for
Councilman Dromgold, and the Main
street bridge for Councilman Healy.
Both these will be started this year, 1t
Is thought.
Another effort may be made today to
hurry along a fire department appro-
priation by asking wha. progress has
been made in the GameTell inquiry.
Some councilmen believe the investi-
CATION has fallen through as far as re-
suits are concerned, and want to get a
report from Auditor w. G. MuShet con-
cerning his conclusions. 1t is believed,
however, none will be forthcoming as
yet.
Possibly some statement may be made
in the council today regarding the
referendum petitions which now are be-
ing circulated to force a resale of the
South Park and San Pedro franchise,
which went to the Los Angeles Rail-
way company ''for song" after Mayor
A. G. Harper had vetoed tEs ordinance.
1t is stated signatures to the petition
are being rapidly secured.

VICTIM OF MANY
MISHAPS BURNED
WOMAN MEETS DEATH IN OIL
STOVE FIRE
BODY ALMOST DENUDED BY RAW
AGING FLAMES
Had Wanted to Die for a Long Time
on Account of Series of Accl-
dents--Was In Car
Wreck

Miss M. e. Brainerd was fatally
burned Yesterday afternoon while light
ing an oil stove on which to cook her
midday meal in her room at the AnJou
apartment house, 639 Ruth avenue.
Miss Brainerd struck match, which
fell to the floor. The latter was COW
cred with a heavy carpet. The woman
struck another match, and before she
could light the burners of the stove
was Mortified to discover her clothing
was ablaze and the carpet burning
fiercely.
The woman was injured :nore than a
year ago in a wreck on the Pacific
Electric system and had been an invalid
since that time, and almost helpless.
She made her way across the hall ana
beat upon the door. The woman occu-
pying the apartment opened the door
and seeing the predicament of Miss
Brainerd, was so frightened she be-
came hysterical and slammed the. door
in the unfortunate womans face.
Miss Brainerd then re-entered her
room and attempted to smother the
flames, but was unsuccessful, owing to
her inability to secure bedclothes, which
were in closed folding bed. Her cries
were heard by other occupants of the
building, who rushed to her assistance
and extinguished the blazing clothing,
which had been almost t'burned off. The
carpet and furniture were extinguished
by hose attached to a hydrant in the
hallway.
Hospital Proveo Slow
The emergency hospital was notified
and after some delay an ambulance
was sent. The unfortunate woman re-
fused to go to the emergency hospital
and asked that DR.. Rebecca Lee Dor
sey be summoned.
The physician soon arrived and
dressed the woman's injuries, which
consisted of burns extending from head
to feet Later Miss Brainerd consented
to go to a hospital, and late in the
afternoon was sent to the county hos
pital where she died at $3.50 last night.
"I have known Miss Brainerd for
many years." said DR.. Dorsey. Since
the accident in which she was injured
more than year ago she had been
practically helpless. and her one wish
has been to die. She had been a victim
of a number of mishaps and received
injuries that would have resulted in
death to almost any other person, but
she always recovered from the effects.
"Her entire body, from the crown of
her head to the sole of her feet was
burned badly.
Miss Brainerd was trained nurse,
and previous to her becoming an in
valid, due to injuries received in "a
street car accident, was employed in
Los Angeles for a number of years.
She was about So years old.

other color than slate she might have
been seen earlier and the collision
avoided, but Great Britain has decided
that her warships attract less atten-
ton when thus painted, and what Is
considereu the necessity of war pur-
poses has contributed to serious ac-
cident.
From an officer of the st. Paul, who
did not wish to be named. it was
learned that the slight delay in getting
out the foats, of which there has
been complaint, was due to the fact
that more than two feet of snow fell
in Southampton during Friday night
and Saturday morning. This had to be
cleared away before the boats could
be manned. but it took very little time,
every member of the grew, including
the cooks, lenoing hand. The boats,
when lowered, were manned partly py
stewards, as 1t was necessary to keep
many of the able seamen aboard to
assist in repairing the damaged bows.
Risk Lives to Save Others
YARMOUTH, April 26.-Heroic serv-
ice in rescuing the Gladiator men was
rendered by the royal engineers at
Fort Victory. Several of them put
out in two small gigs Immediately
after the collision, and picked up as
many of the sailors as they could find
sank within their sight.
Corporal Stenning and others OF the
engineers swan boldly into the sea
and rescued some of the most ex-
hausted of the sailors.
The survivors of the Gladiator were
cared for over night at the residences
of the officers of the engineer corps.
Today they and the rescued seamen
have recovered from their thrilling ex-
perience.
A seaman who was employed in the
GIadiator's canteen said, in speaking
of the accident: "It happened at 2:45,
during what we call 'grog time A
lot of us were in the canteen wnen
we heard a horrible noise and the ves-
sci heeled over so that we were thrown
off our feet. We made for the upper
deck as fast al we could go, but there
was no disorder. When we reached
the deck we saw that steamer was
into us amidships, and when she drew
out she left an awful hole, nearly forty
feet deep. The snow was so tnick
that 1t was impossible to see anything
on the water.
"Two of our boats were forced free
by the collision and two others were
SO damaged as to be useless. 1t seemed
a long time oefore boats were lowered
from the st. Paul, and in the mean
time some of our men had jumped
into the water to swim ashore.
"They must have been nearly frozen.
Besides, there was strong sea run
ming. This proved too much for some
of them, and they clung to floating
things until rescued"
