CAVALRY LANCE AGAIN IN USE
European Armies Now Adopting
Weapon Discarded and Put
on Retired List. .

London.-A fortune may be waiting
for the person who invents a col.
lapsible yet strong and ~serviceable
lance which Is rapidly regaining some
OF Its old-time favor as q cavalry arm
In European armies. For some time
back the six English regiments of
lancers have had their favorite arm
restored to them after 1t had been
practically placed on the retired list,
or, In other words, reserved for parade
purposes only. The French dragons
and chasseurs are now also equipped
with lances, so that, as the paperss say,
they shall not be behind the PrussSau
Uhlans in this respect. The French
weapon Is the llghtest of all; It is a
hollow steel shaft nine feet long and
1t only weighs four pounds. 1t is
claimed to be a handler and better bal.
anced weapon than the German. The
French hussars and cuirassiers will not
be equipped with the lance for the
present.
The latest addition to the cult of the
lance Is the Russian wal department.
which has just decided to arm the

nearly IL feet long and Weighing close
upon six pounds. The Austrian and

from the adoption Of the lance for

USE FOR THE MIRROR
APART FROM USUAL PURPOSE, 1T
ADDS TO ROOMS APPEARANCE.
Well Worth the Cost, Which Need MOI

How any woman creature Is able
TO do without a full-sized mirror is
more than l can tell! This sliding
up and down Of a small mirror to get
q whole effect has ever been O mys-
terry to rue, writes Ethel Davis Seal in
the New York Press. And yet l know
they do it! I know one woman who
sets her mirror on the floor to view
the hem Of her skirt; on a chair to
arrange her girdle, and completes her
head dressing through the aid of a
nail on the wall. She really could
afford two or three large mirrors, If
she made up her mind to it but she
just doesn't take the trouble.
On the part Of some, this hesitancy
to acquire a large mirror Is some
times due to a dislike for the usual
mirrored furniture to be seen in the
shops-and the prices. OF course, all
mirrors are expensive, every one
knows that, and so, when laying out
the money for one, it should be of a
design which appeals to the owner.
Mirrors have two other very impor-
tant uses. They make a small room
look larger and they make a dark
room lighter. Either one of these
uses provides a sufficient reason for
having n or more mirrors about,

THE FAIR APPROPRIATIONS

made necessary by the lamentable

state legislature to secure repre-

to be held at San Francisco next
year, and the Panama. California
exposition to be held al the same
time in San Diego, has called /
meeting of the representative mer
of Nevada to be held in Reno on
Saturday. April 18th. The object
sought is to learn state sentiment
regarding the expenditures of ST
great a sum or whether a more
modest amount might not in the
opinion of Neyadaus, subserve the
states interests and thus save tc
the taxpayers a sum of money Wit
ally needed within our state.
The truth of the matter is thai
the legislature voting this sum
for California expositions had the
millionaire feeling. The appropri-
atoms as passed should have been
rejected. And Governor .Oidie
should have had the gnod sense
to have veoted it. Expositions arc

INSANE PASTOR CAPTURED
IN HILLS OF CALIFORNIA



Los Angeles, Jan. 15.-Benjamin d.
Grier, formerly clergyman of Chicago,
who became insane several days ago
and took his 13-year-old daughter on
l9-mile walk and beat the child almost
to death, was captured in the hills north
.of the city yesterday by posse which
the girl set on his trail. He was taken
to the county hospital to await the ex-
animation of lunacy commission.
De Grier took his daughter from the
home of her grandmother in Lordsburg,
north of Pomona, Monday, and started
with her to walk to Los Angeles. The
child became weary on the way and her
father beat her with a club.
Strengthened by fright, the child
started to run, but was knocked down
with rock hurled by her insane father.
A rancher rescued her, but De Grier
escaped into the hills, where he eluded
pursuit until yesterday.
