LONG BEACH ITEMS

LONG BEACH, July 9.-The body of
Mrs Sarah Wilson, wife of Jehu Will
son of $40 East First street, was
brought here today from Whittier,
where she died yesterday after a brief
illness. She was stricken with paraly-
sis after going to Whittier to attend
church meeting. She was so years
old.
Mrs. Rebecca Hunter, 40 years old,
died yesterday at her home, 1035 Myrtle
avenue. She was the wife of Melville
Hunter. They came here three years
ago from Indiana.
The city council last night passed an
ordinance putting the buying of sup
plies for the various commissions in
the hands of a purchasing committee,
but making the committee appointive
by the president of the council. Presi-
dent Mohrenstecher probably will APP
point the finance committee to this
duty. The discussion led to a warm
tilt between Mayor Windham, who in
timated that the councilmen seemed to
distrust the various commissions, and
Councilman Wollbrinck, who said 1t
was simply a case of differing opin-
ions,

ton at the forefront of banking insti-
tutions, while the great growth of
the city has caused seven other splen-
did banks to be added to its institu
tons. Its deposits are now more than
$1,150,000, while it's affiliated institu-
ton, the Long Beach Savings Bank
and Trust company, also has deposits
of more than 81, 100000, and the banks
of the city as a whole have total Of
more than $4150,000
The present officers Of the National
Bank of Long Beach are: p. E. Hatch
president; lothian Bixby, first vice
president; George Bixby, second vice
president; E. E. Norton, cashier; Will
liam M. Cook and L. c. Powell, assist
ant cashiers. The rapid and substan-
tial growth of this bank and also of
the city of Long Beach may be largely
attributed to the energy and public
spirit shown by lothian Bixby and p.
E. Hatch, whose lives and means have
been so freely given for the city's de-
Velopment

WHAT ISOLATION COSTS POPE

The consistency of the popes in cling
ing to their self-imposed isolation In
assertion of their policy is impressive,
for it entails their refusal of the tri-
butte which the kingdom of Italy Is
willing to pay out of respect to their
spiritual character. Every year the
italian parliament votes an appropria-
ton of $645, 900 to be placed at the dis
posal of the pope to maintain his dig
nifty, and to be expended generally for
the maintenance of his court. Every
year the pope as regularly refuses to
receive his allowance lest it's accept
ance should negative his claim to be
temporal prince in his own capital.
This process of appropriation and re-
lection has been kept up ever since
1871, when parliament guaranteed to
the pope and his successors forever the
Vatican and Lateran and Castel Gran
dolfo, and voted the first allowance.
The aggregate OF these appropriations
is now in excess of $25,O00,000, all Of
which is held subject to the pope's or
der.-Boston Transcript.

DINNER

A good dinner is a work Of art; so is
the selection of the time to eat it. In
Charleston people dine at in the aft
ernoon or Whereabouts, supposedly be-
cause some time in the long ago that
suited the school children, or because
there were such large families in those
days that it took the cook that long to
get the necessary quantity cooked. In
Mobile they are glad to dine at any
time, although some of the older and
richer families have regular dinners
every day. In New Orleans those who
dine go to the restaurants. In fact
without it's eating places New Orleans
would not last day. and half the town
would be bankrupt, However, it is per-
tinent to remark that some of the best
cooks in the world are down in the
metropolis. and they have q way of
cooking ordinary potatoes that makes
them taste like one of Bob Taylor's
promises. = Charleston News and

long incline. "Oh" you gasp, invol-
UNFAIRLY, and look back at the top OF
the tower, many feet above you.
Although Captain Bisby has had his
spiral way in operation but a short
time, its fame has spread all over the
south, and the trip is made daily by
hundreds OF persons. The tower stands
at the east end of the pike" directly
off the end of Pine avenue. At night
the dome on the top OF the tower,
brilliantly illuminated with electric
lights, revolves rapidly. and the flash
ing of the lights may be seen for miles.
Without question the spiral way has
been one of the biggest business get
ters ever placed on the pike. Despite
the cool weather, 1t has been a boon
to Long Beach, and the merchants of
the Queen Of the Beaches are loud in
their praise of the spiral way and its
daring builder.

Four cars are used, and all after
noon long the whirring of the wheels
and the laughing of the passengers can
be heard. The trip is a bundle of
thrills. Four passengers can be ac-
commodated in each car. A little shove

You feel yourself being lifted, clear

you can look down on the long pier

rather slowly, the little airship soon
is circling round and round the big
tower at a safe speed. Far beneath
lies the beach, while on either side is
no visible support. Unless you look

age. A dozen or more times does the
car circle the big tower, and finally

~HE Long Beach pike, the famous
''pay streak" midway" or what
= ever you want to call it, which at
tracts pleasure seekers from every part
of Southern California every day in
the year, has a new attraction. More
over, it's an attraction such as no other
summer resort in the world can boast.
It is the invention of two Long Beach
men, A. F. and A. T. Smith.
Captain r. L. Bisby smiles every
time he looks at his famous spiral way,
and all Long Beach has been talking
about this domestic, eat-out-of-your-
hand airship voyage. 1t looks rather
risky, the little torpedo-shaped car
circling round and round the tall steel
tower above the ocean waves, but ex-
perts who have. examined the spiral
way pronounce 1t fully as safe as any
thrill-producer on the market.

T ONG BEACH has many features of
which she is very proud, and not
- the least of these are her banks.
Nothing more clearly shows the re-
markable and substantial growth of
Long Beach than it's numerous strong
banking institutions. AS the Oldest and
largest of our city banks, the National
Bank of Long Beach affords the best
illustration of this growth. 1t was
organized in June, 1896, as the Bank
Of Long Beach, with capital stock of
$25, 900. lothian BiXby, one of the best
known pioneers of Southern California,
was its first president, and P. e. Hatch
it's cashier. Long Beach had then
population of 1900 and was purely a
summer city. Seven years later 190O
it was converted into a national bank
under the name of the National Bank
of Long Beach, and it's capital in
creased to 100000, which has since been
increased to $15O,O00. During these four
teen years it has made a steady
growth, always maintaining it's posi-

INSECT WHICH SITS ON ITS EGGS

Family matters, in the case Of in
sects, usually mean only the depositing
of eggs in suitable situations for the in
dependent development of the offspring,
the parent insects often dying before
the young appear. The earwig, how
ever, provides a remarkable exception
to the general rule, for it sits upon its
fifty or more eggs until they are
Matched, just as a bird would do; and
moreover, if the eggs get scattered, 1t
carefully collects them together again.
In the early months of the year, when
digging the soil, female earwigs may
frequently be found together with their
batch of eggs. At the slightest signs
of danger the young, that usually come
from the eggs, huddle close to their
mother, hiding beneath her body so far
as it will cover so large a family

HIS HAPPY IDEA

Blankson's medical man told him
that it would be necessary to consult
a specialist, but Blankson's soul was
filled with gloom at the prospect of
parting with the fee.
What do you think he'll charge
me?" he asked.
Five guineas for the first visit and
one guinea for every subsequent one, y
was the reply.
Subsequently a happy idea by which
he might avoid the payment of the
initial five guineas struck Blankson.
Dashing into the specialists consult
ing room, he exclaimed breezily as he
held out his hand, "Well, doctor, here
we are again!"-London News.
