MIX as a BATHING Fluid.

Milk was highly priced as a bath
ing fluid by the ancients. The WON

their additions in asses milk, and
this valued promoter of beautiful COM

is too expensive to waste in the bath
tub, and modern beauties content
themselves with a teacupful in
basin wherein their faces may be

Are Book Reviews News?

There seems to be a difference
of opinion among editors as to
whether the appearance of an i'm
portant new book is an event de-
serving of any mention in a
crowded newspaper. In the re-
view of a good novel or a great
history a matter of real public
interest? The Chicago Record
Herald is one of the comparative
ly few newspapers that answers
this question in the affirmative
by printing reviews and news Of
the latest book severy day in the
week. 1t believes that its read
ers are intelligent men and wOm-
en- who wish TO keep up with
the worlds literary. events, as
well as with other important
news. Its literary department I'M

views are sought and quoted al

Southern Pacific Stopped Work.
men Under Misapprehension

OAKLAND. Nov. 1s.-Mayor Mott
after an investigation has solved the
difficulty which caused the Southern
Pacific company state railroad police
to stop the city from constructing
crossings over the railway right of
way at the foot of Fifth avenue.
According to the mayor the company
was laboring under a misunderstand-
ing and the officials really did
not mean to block city work, but had
intended to prevent, as they supposed
private individuals from trespassing on
the lands.
The trouble occurred because the
Southern Pacific company mistook city
workmen for private -intruders,' said
Mayor Mott AS soon as the situation
was explained the objections were
withdrawn and our work will proceed
at Fifth avenue without further in
terruption.''

DR.. RANDALL QUIT
UNDER PRESSURE
Reform School Superintendent
Forced to Resign After In
vestigation of Charges
Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

lODCCtdt lIiSpOtCH HS Softl
SACRAMENTO Nov. 19.-Dr. William
T. Randall, former superintendent of
the Preston School of Industry at lone,
did not resign of his own accord to
pursue educational work in the bay
cities. but gave up his position under
pressure following an investigation
held by the governor and the trustees
of the reform school.
Mistreatment of the boys under him
was one of the charges brought against
Doctor Randall. Another was that he
favored the Free Methodist sect in the
appointment of teachers on the school
staff. These charges, which were pre-
ferred by Dr. j. K. Mclean of Oakland
and Rev. Charles A. Ramm of San
Francisco, were kept secret by the
investigators by agreement. Secretary
of the Board of Examiners Deming
admitted that pressure had been
brought to bear in Doctor Randalfs
case.
Doctor Randau's conduct of the
school was above reproach," said
Deming. rThe only thing that could
be said against him was that he was
a little TOO severe with some OF the
boys. The worst thing he did was to
inprison one boy for 80 days in room
in an attic There were other things
not quite so severe.
I'VE did not suspect any of this un-
til the state board of charities and
corrections investigated complaints that
had been sent to it. Its charges were
in turn investigated by the governor
and the trustees, and it was agreed
that Doctor Randall should resign. He
would not agree that he was wrong,
and that was the only course left open
to him"

having dynamiteds a Santa Fe caboose
in this city some time ago. when two
men narrowly escaped death He was
also credited with having written a
number of vulgar letters.
While he has acted as a sane man
since his incarceration the doctors say
that Mccormick is suffering with para
noia and that person SO afflicted
may appear perfectly sane and yet
break out a raving maniac at any
moment. The habeas corpus proceed
ings are being heard by Superior Judge
Frank H. Smith.
