HELEN BOBS UP AGAIN
sbth HAS NOW BEEN HEARD
FROM AT SANTA MONICA
Secured a Position as Servant Girl
and Then Disappeared Simulta
neously With Some Jewelry
Helen Fink, the notorious deaf mute
impostor who visited this city a few
weeks ago, and who was written up at
the time, has again been heard from at
Santa Monica. It will be remembered
that she left here secretly in company
with a man named Wilson, whom she in
troduced as her husband. Incidentally
it may be remarked that Miss Fink, or
Mrs. Wilson, as she called herself, forgot
to pay numerous bills which she had
contracted while In the city.
It seems that on going to Santa Monica
Miss Fink dropped her erstwhile hus
band and again posed as a maiden by
the name of plain Miss Wilson. Perhaps
nothing more would have been heard of
the woman had not Detective Goodman
made it his business to watch her move
ments.
Her first act on reaching the seaside
resort was to engages room for a week
at the Palace lodging house, of course
not paying for it In advance. After
spending one night there she did not
show up again, and here the laxity of
memory which has characterized her
everywhere was manifested, and she
forgot to return the key to her room.
The next place visited was the Santa
Monica hotel, where she secured a posi
tion as chambermaid. She had fully
recovered both her speech and hearing
by this time, and she used her tongue
greatly to the annoyance of those who
were forced to listen to her long tales of
misfortune. Miss Fink did not prove a
good chambermaid, and at the end of
two days was discharged.
She then applied to the Woman's l Chris
tian Temperance union for assistance.
Her story had the effect of gaining the
sympathy of the leaders, and they were
anxious to assist her. Finally a place
was secured for her to work in a family.
Miss Fink started to work, but proved a
poor servant. However she was en
dured. At the end of a week she disap
peared, and did not return. Her ab
sence was explained when it was learned
that several articles of jewelry belong
ing to the family had disappeared. The
matter was reported to the constable at
Santa Monica, but nothing has since
been heard of the woman, and It is safe
to say that she has got out of the country
by this time.

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Curfew Ordinance
The Los Angeles curfew ordinance has
gone into effect, and several children,
found on the streets afier 11 oelock ir;
the evening have been promptly haled
to the city cage. It Is always a hopeful
sign when people strive to bring up tin ir
young folks- in the light way. It may
be suggested, however, that good exam
ple is quite as Important for the proper
training of youth as coercive measures.

It's No Use

Altgeld Takes to the Wheel
John P. AMgetld has taken to the wheel.
He electrified people along the north
shore boulevards Monday by making
his debut on a bicycle. The pride of the
silver Democracy made good progress
in his first public as a cyclist.
For several weeks he has been under
going the Kneipp trea-tment for threat
ened locomotor ataxia —an. affliction
which places Che lower lirntw at times
beyond coT.'tro). Traimping around in
the dew-kle»ed grass in the early morn
in the Trilby act was too tame for tihe
ex-governor, so the doofor prci?cribed' a
bicycle, and the Idea met with Instant
favor.
The ex-governor has recently improved
In health sufficiently to take the-first de
gree on a wheel. An assistant walked
at his sid*. but after riding a few rods
Mr. Aitgeld gained, confidence and went
alone. Then he realized the predica
ment, mentioned in Rocky mountain lit
erature, of the hunter who had the 1 bear
by the talL He was afraid to let go.
The wheels whizzed at a 16 to 1 revolu
tion. The attempt to maintain the gub
ernatorial equilibrium resulted in a zig
zag specialty. Scorchers fled, mothers
hurried their children to safety and the
park policemen got Teady for emer
gency dluty.—Chicago Times-Herald.
The Wheel in Central Africa
The pioneer cycling trip to Central
frica has just been reported by the Brit
ish consul in Uganda. It was made by
a missionary, who mounted his wheeLat
the Indian ocean and pedaled all the
way to the Victoria Nyar.za, a distance
of about 600 miles. Of course the na
tives were astonished, to put it mildly.
They regarded the cyclist as a necro
mancer. The thing first to be wondered
at in this remarkable journey is that it
was feasible. Roads In this country,
even In the Empire state, are not uni
formly good, but in the heart of the
Dark Continent this missionary found
the riding of his wheel and easy and
pleasant task. The wagon road over
which tons of steamboat machinery
have been drawn was the route followed
by the missionary and he found, it firm
and smooth all the way.—New York

The Colonel's Preference
"I suppose," said the girl who affects
literature, "that you are fond of some
thing now and then in the Scotch line."
"Of cose," replied Colonel Btllwell.
"Rut Isn't the time foh that sort of thing
past?"
"You mean It has had its day, like so
many other fads?"
"No, don't mistake me. I wouldn't
think of any such disrespect. There is
nothing mo' delightful in the wlntuh
months than an occasional hot Scotch.
But at the present time I must say that
I incline tods a mint Julep."—Washing

Not Domestic
The tobacconist was sitting on the
front porch enjoying a quiet smoke when
the census taker came along. He oblig
ingly gave the names of the members
of his family and ended the list by ad
ding the name "Bridget Mahone."
"Is she a domestic?" inquired the cen

"No," said the cigar dealer, absent
mindly, "she's imported."—Chicago

RAILROAD EMPLOYES
ANXIOUS OVER THE RESULT
OF THE CONSOLIDATION
Local Clerks Fearful of their Posi
tions—The Endeavorers Are
Coming—Personals
The consolidation of the Atlantic and
Pacific offices with the Santa Fe office
in this city, which Is to. take place on
the first of next month, is causing con
siderable anxiety among the employes in
the local office, who are fearful that the
change will cost a good many of them
their positions.
The general offices of the Atlantic and
Pacific, which have been located at Al
buquerque, will be moved here, and by
the consolidation the work of the two
offices can doubtless be carried on by a
much smaller force than has formerly
been required. In this case several
men will probably be laid off. Whether
this will affect local employes or
whether the reductions in the force will
be made from the other end is not known.
At any rate, local employes are await
ing the result of the consolidation with
considerable anxiety.
ENDEAVORERS COMING
The Christian Endeavorers who ex
pect to attend the convention have al
ready begun to arrive, and the railroad
companies report that their Pullman fa
cilities are taxed to their utmost ca
pacity handling the crowds over east
ern roads. Yesterday morning word
was received here that thirty-six Pull
mans on the Santa Fe alone had been
started out of Chicago for this city. The
Central Pacific, Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines also report a
heavy sale of tickets.
PERSONAL NOTES
Assistant General Passenger Agent A.
D. Shepard of the Southern Pacific left
yesterday morning for San- Francisco.
General Freight Agent E. E. Cham
bers of the Southern California railway
has returned from Albuquerque, where
he went last week in company with Man
ager Nevin.
George T. Morgan, traveling passen
ger agent for the Anchor Line of United
States mail steamers, with headquarters
in New Tork, is in the city on a business
trip.
A Mean Thing
"Now listen to this," she said Jubi
lantly, "and then make your vile Jokes
about woman's inability to refrain from
talking, if you dare."
"Proceed," he said resignedly, and she
read an article about a New Jersey wo
man who made a vow that she would
never speak another word until she
could vote and kept it for years.
"There was a woman of determina
tion," she said in conclusion.
"Yes, I have heard something about
that case," he returned' quietly. "After
she made that vow and showed a deter
mination to keep it, her husband be
came one of the most determined oppo
nents of woman's suffrage in the whole
state."
She said he was a mean thing, and
perhaps she was right.—Washington
Evening Star.
An Ideal Spelling Course
First, as to oral and written, column
and sentence spelling, I shall say only
this, that the wise teacher will acquaint
herself with as many methods and de
vices as possible, and change from one
to the other, in order to relieve the
tedium and to meet the needs of indi
vidual children. Before all, she will be
aware of running off at a tangent with
any particular method, because none yet
discovered has proved a panacea. Sec
ond, under no circumstances should
more than fifteen minutes dally be de
voted to the subject. Whatever benefit
the pupils receive from their instruction
in spelling will be obtained witnin this
period. Third, I would recommend that
the words be carefully graded, not only
in regard to orthographical difficulties,
but In accordance with the vocabulary
of the child as well. In this way the
course In spelling might become as sys
tematic as in other subjects. Fourth,
precedence should be given to common
words, while technical and unusual
words should be taught incidentally.
THIS IS A TANDEM YEAR
By excluding words of the latter classes,
the course would be materially abridged,
and the chances of producing good, prac
tical spellers proportionately increased.
Fifth, the course should be further
abridged by excluding words that con
tain no catch, i. c., which naturally spell
themselves.
My researches on this point would Indi
cate that more than half the common
words belong to this category, and con
sequently need not be studied. The ideal
ground to be covered In spelling would be
represented, therefore, by a carefully
graded list of the common words most
liable to be misspelled. The number of
words In this list, according to my esti
mate, would be between six and 6«ven
thousand.—Dr. J. M. Rice in the Forum.
YORRICK ON THE SITUATION
Members of the American "begat fam
ily" will now give their undivided atten
tion to Cuba and Hawaii, while the
trusts pick their pockets.
If It be true that the proposed annex
ation of Hawaii is an administration
dodge, intended to divert public atten
tion from the Cuban question, the job
was put up in vain. It is practically
certain that the Hawaiian treaty will
fall short of receiving the necessary
two-thirds vote. But whether the is
lands are annexed or whether they
are not, the Cuban question cannot be
relegated to the background. The peo
ple of this country will never be satis
fled until it Is settled and settled right.
Many of your readers think that both
questions—Cuba and Hawaii —are be
ing blown to a white heat Just now to
prevent the American people from ex
amining their own "larder."
The profits of the coal trust last year
were 171.000,000, a little over $1 taken
from every man, woman anil child in
the United States. Tho profits of
three of the leading trusts—coal, sugar
and coffee—last year were $110,000,000.
There are 400 trusts In the United
States, each taking profit from the
people. Anything taken from the peo
ple without an equivalent is robbery.
No wonder the administration press
keeps on calling to the people to look
into the other fellow's back yard. When
Napoleon was in Egypt they sent him
word that revolution was threatened at
home, and that Paris was a howling
mob. The little corporal sent back or
ders to "gild the dome"—and since re
cent openings of the book of trusts, the
subsidy dailies have been double-leading
Cuba and Hawaii—Gilding the domel
With the greedy fingers of 400 trusts
rifling our pockets, we are told to con
done the home-hold-up, and look at the
sufferings of Don Sancho Pedro and the
Sadwichers!
I the meatime, the lower "house of
Reed" sits with its thumbs In its arm
pits, waiting for the procession to reach
the sugar-steal grand-stand—and while
over 200 members sit and look holes In
the floor, Thomas Braclcett entertains
them thusly:
Speaker Reed takes the chair and
says:
"I will please come to order.
"I don't believe in the efficacy of pray
er, so I will dispense with it today.
"The records of the previous meeting
are considered read and approved.
"There is no unfinished business on
hand, and even if there were. I do not
consider my self a quorum at this stage
of the game.
"Did I hear a motion to adjourn ? Well,
I should remark, for my hearing is
very acute, and when it comes to ad
journing I am a quorum from Quorum
ville.
"If I am in favor of adjourning I will
please signify it by saying 'aye.' If I
am opposed I don't know myself.
"I have It. I stand adjourned."
And while this great American farce
goes on, the dupes who were harangued
last autumn by Boork Cochran. Inger-
I soli and Depew, are told to keep their
eyes glued to the Spreckels sugar or
chard and the antics of Weyler.

Taken to Whittier
Several weeks ago a little boy named
Charlie Pruden, who lives at Redondo,
was brought into court by his mother,
! who claimed that he was an incorrigible.
: The lad was committed to Whittier, but
I the school was full at the time, and he
was refused admission. Lately he ran
away from home again, but was caught
and recommitted to the reform school,
whither he was taken yesterday after
noon.
BOARD HAS ARRIVED
SOLDIERS' HOME MANAGERS
AT SANTA MONICA
Gen. Birmingham Sustains a Painful
Injury While Alighting From
ji Electric Car
The special car containing the national
board of Soldiers' home managers pass
ed through this city yesterday morn
ing en route to Santa Monica over the
Santa Fe, On arriving there they went
to the Arcadia hotel. The members of
the party are General W. B. Franklin,
president, his wife, daughter and two
nephews; Major J. M. Birmingham,
general treasurer; General Henderson,
wife and daughter of Illinois; General
McMahon of New York, General Ander
son and wife of Ohio, Colonel Brown,
inspector-general; General A. W. Bar
rett and wife of California, George Pat
rick, secretary.
A painful accident happened to Major
Birmingham at the Soldiers' home. He
and General Barrett left Santa Monica
on the electric line, the other members
of the party concluding not to go up to
the home until today. When near the
home General Birmingham stepped off
the car, which had stopped on a switch.
He did not notice a car coming in the op
posite direction from Los Angeles, and it
Btruck him, knocking him down and
running over his foot, which was quite
badly crushed. He was taken to the
hospital at the home, where his injuries
were treated. He is not thought to have
been seriously hurt, although the bruise
was very painful.
The board will meet at the home this
morning for the annual inspection. The
plans as laid out are to return to the city
Thursday morning and go to Mount
Lowe that day. Thursday evening the
party will take the train for the north.
The Illegality of Pooling by Railroads
In contemplating the alternative which
will be forced upon the railway compan
ies if the supreme court decision De main
tained, it is proper to say that while pool
ing has been commended and resorted
to abroad, was recommended by the
Cullom committee, and has been en
dorsed by the most eminent railway ex
perts of this and other countries, tt re
mains forbidden here by law. If It con
tinue forbidden,and the railways are to
be interdicted from forming traffic asso
ciations, what remains for railways and
public protection, in their mutual rela
tions? If the railway companies may not
meet and agree upon mutual rates, fares,
rules, conditions, classifications, tickets,
liabilities for persons and property, ex
cursion rates for great public occasions,
times of trains, etc., in what condition
are they or the public to be left?
The resultant differences of condition
would Introduce more uncertainties into
all commercial conditions, would lead
to more preferences and discriminations,
and constitute a greater constraint of
trade than if competitive lines agreed to
and published common rates, fares and
rules. Forwarders and receivers and
travelers engaged In actual contact with
this problem all know that practical
freedom of trade Is not to be obtained by
lts legal refutation, and that the liberty
of the reasonable contract, which has.
from time immemorial. Justified proper
agreements, has secured that parity of
railway conditions which is the first
essential of freedom of trade, the re
moval of restraint, and the stoppage of
favoritism—Mr. George R. Blanchard
in the Forum.

AFTER THE HOLLAND BOAT
Two TJnsnocessful Attempts to Steal
Bar Flans
Freah mystery envelops the cigar
shaiped craft floating beside the docks at
Lewis Nixon's shipyard at Elisabeth
port, N. J. A bold attempt ha* been
made to steal the plane of this submarine
craft, launohedlee* than four weeks ago.
The evidence seem* to Indicate that It as
the work of an agent of a foreign gov
ernment.
About the middle of March a man who
had got employment at the yard* was
found Inside tine boat at the noon hour
making sketches. He was dismissed' at
once, and orders* were glvear to let only
the most trusted men approach the
craft. The purpose of th'lev man was
never explained, andi the belief exists
that he was the agent of a foreign gov
ernment.
The hast effort was a more preitenttoua
one, and has been kept from the police,
though the thief got about 1260 in his
effort to steal the plans of the submarine
boat.
' A few day* ago the company received
through the mails an envelope contain
ing the papers which had been stolen.
Ais they were not the plans of the sub
marine boat, the thief had consideration
enough to return them.
It has been stated over and over that
the Holland submarine boat would' go in
commission under the flag of the Cuban
republic. AH that ts> awaited, say dis
patches from Washington, ie the recog
nition of the belligerent rights of the
Cuban insurgents by the administration.
High officials at the navy, department
have admitted that the new submarine
destroyer has been built for this pur
pose.
The United States government has not
authorized' the construction of the ves
sel, nor has aeiy other nation done so.
Thts work has been rushed. Mr. Nixon
says he does not know where the vessel
Is to go, or what flag she Is to fly, and
the officers of the Holland! Submarine
Boat company in this city declare they
have nothing to say about her except
that she will be sent to Washington, to
be exhibited to members of congress
and to the naval authorities.—New York
