It Is a hard life, these comet days,
for young couples who would elope In
the small hours of the morning. Mar-|
garet Wlnterburn and B. P, Johnson
of Charleston, I'm., are glad to stand 1
up and raise their right hand and
testify to this. They had it all framed
up one morning to get up while every
body else was sleeping and run off
and have themselves married. John
son drove up to the Wlnternurn man
sion with his elopement outfit, consist
ing of a speedy horse and a well oiled
buckboard, and he yelled lustily into
the night air jfcjr someone, preferably
Mlns Winterburn, to hurry out and
elope with him into the darky night.
Having yelled, he put one foot on the
dashboard' and sllded over in his seat
to make room for the intended com
panion of his Intended travels. Pres
ently or, In fact, rather sooner than
presently, a figure tripped down from
the front porch ann down me Troin
walk The flfure was In a nightie and
barefooted. Johnson was ready to ask
MiM Winterburn why .she had adopted
such a loose stylo of eloping gown,
when a. stein voice, coming somewhere
from near the top of the nightie,
:''.l'.hnson did not linger to drink In the
utterances of the stern voice Miss
Wlnterburn'i voice, he knew, had noth
ing or Fterness, and he was certain
that it was MIM Winterburn that lie
sought with his eloping outfit.
Papa Winterburn (for It was no
other than he. as has no doubt been
already suspected by the shrewd
reader), who with his stern voice put
to hasty flight the gallant lover as he
I father! trod dowri the front path In
his nightie, we* back into the house
and found his daughter with a ■Uit

Father Winterburn confessed, amid hls>
daughter's tears, that he had been out
conducting a personal inspection of the

Just what Mrs. Lewis Classman of

W. C. T. U. Passes Resolutions to
Prevent Fight and Kill All
Ring Contests
TTm twenty-seventh annual convention
of the Southern California Women's
Christian Temperance Union was open
ed yesterday in the First Methodist
church with a large attendance. The
sessions of the first day were devoted
largely to routine business, but a rous
ing resolution condemning prize light
ing was unanimously indorsed at the
afternoon session, and In the evening
the time was devoted to addresses of
welcome, in which Mayor Alexander
struck a note of popular accord when
he said that one of his greatest troubles
since assuming the mayoralty had been
the saloons.
Mayor Alexander was present at the
evening session and extended a wel
come In behalf of the city. He said
that he wns glad to be able to wel
come the W. C. T. U. to the city, and
paid a high tribute to the work being
done by the union.
"I thought a year ago when I took up
the office of mayor that I knew what
to expect from the liquor element, but
it is only since I have been mayor that
I have come to realize fully its de
moralizing forces. It is the hardest
thing that we have to handle.
"When I look back over the last fifty
years and see the advance that has
been made it seems wonderful, and
When I look forward to the coming
fifty years it has a bright side, although
I do not expect to be here then."
Prof. M. C. Bettinger spoke In behalf
of the public schools and said that the
motto of the nineteenth century schools
was "administration." while the motto
of the present school system Is
"co-operation," and paid a high tribute
to the W. C. T. U. and Mothers con
gress.

Terrible, raving Eva Tanguay placed
a Joke on a moving picture audience in
New York recently. A bunch of ama
teura were booked for the evening's
entertainment. Eva slipped in among
the amateurs. The crowd thought ihe
was fierce until some reckless spfti#,
who had been at a theater at which
Eva had fidgeted, denounced her as
the original Eve. Then the crowd
knew generally that it was the orig
inal Eve and they pronounced her act
the best of on the amateur program.
Miss Tnnguay was constrained to con
fess. She apologized for her voice,
saying: "I am a trifle hoarse. I slept
in a stable last night." Unrefined
young lady! She enjoyed the Joke even
though It had failed. However, it is
to be hoped—for the sake of the cul
ture of the slum dwellers—that she
will not go slumming again.
Miss Blanche Scott of Rochester, N.
V., is on her way across tjie continent
In an automobile. She Is going to
make the trip entirely without any
male assistance, even to revamping the

sights on the wty out expects to ar
rive in San Francisco in August. From
town t6 town the may take a woman
along just for company, but she Is de
termined to do It all herself.
The public might make this reply:
"We do not go to your comedies to
hear the comedies, George B. We go
to your comedies to laugh. If our
laughter spoils your comedies, put us
out, for wo are determined to laugh.
Mrs. Sarah I>. Clarke, a retiring lit
tle Chicago woman, broke a record of
sixteen years when she fractured nor
ankle last week and had to stay away
from the Pacific Garden mission. For
6000 successive nights she has attended
the mission, devoting her time to re
claiming boys and young men. He
sldes, she has established a home for
homeless girls.
"The physical pain I endure, paid
Mrs. Clarke, "la not as great as the
worry of my absence from the mls-
Blon and the girls 1 home. I have never
left Chicago for one night during six
teen years and four months. Kvery
night" during that period I have
passed at the mission.
Bettlnger Mrs. Hester T. Griffith, the
state president and presiding officer,
asked all delegates who had served as
public scTiool teachers to stand, and a
large portion of the delegates rose,
showing the cloae relation of the teacn
ing forces of those of the unions.
Mrs. William Bauerhyte, president of
the Los Angeles district Federation of
Women's clubs, spoke in behalf of
that organization.
Honorary state presidents gave three
minute addresses, Including Mrs. Mary
C'.arbutt, Mrs. Emma Cash Clapp, Miss
Gabrielle T. Stickney and Mrs. Lucy S.
Blanchard for Mrs. W. D. Gould, who
was unable to be present.
Mrs. Hester T. Griffith, state presi
dent, presided at the sessions yester-
day.
The union adopted the following reso
lution regarding prizefighting at the
afternoon session:
"Whereas, we, the executive board of
Orange county W. C. T. U., and repre
senting all of the societies of the coun
ty, hereby affirm that we stand for 'a
single standard of morals for men and
women,' and we appeal to the W. C. T.
U. in state convention assembled, to
unite with the church federation of
San Francisco, the pastors' union of
Ban Jose and other ministerial bodies
to not only strive to prevent the Jef-
fries-Johnson fight, but to bring some
pressure to bear on our legislature to
drive the prizefight from our fair
state.
"That we appeal to the governor and
state's attorney to prevent this im
moral, degrading and disgraceful sport
to be practiced within the borders of
the state of California."

Mere Men
RlfHAnn HAWKINS, cook on the
battleship Nebraska, should go
into vaudeville with his suicide
stunt. Despondent over a love affair,
Cook Hawkins crawled tinder his
sweetheart 1! porch, and, grasping a
portrait of the unfaithful one In his
left fist, deftly killed himself with bis
right. Not to make Jest of the solemn
occurrernce. the thought is not to be
resisted that the incident would make
a charming central Bcene for a pretty
little vaudeville Hketch. Vine-covered
portico, purple light properly mixed
and scatttered about the starve with
on particularly strong ray thrown on
the porch; sweetheart sitting in a
hammock on the same porch singing
love songs to the photo of another, and
despondent one breathing his last under
her feet unknown to hpr until his last
words are wafted up by the evening
breeze, "l love you and I die for you."
Realizing that she has lost a true
friend and regretting her lack of ap
preelatlion, .she Inserts her head be
tween two of the porch rails and twists
and twists until the curtain is all the
way down. Note.—The property man

Jean Hartzell, a young man of Chi
cago, Is a wise young man of Chicago.
He was engaged to marry a young
woman of Chicago. No distinguishing
sign of wisdom there, It is exclaimed.
The joke ir. this: Immediately aftei
his marriage Jean Hartzell went to
serve a term In prison. He was mar
ried on the way to prison. It is not
the contention that all married men
should obtain a sentence —many are
successful matrimonially without it—
but no young man can be said to be
making a. very great mistake when he
takes such a precaution. Mr. Hartzell
mar now enjoy all the pleasures of
married life, such as receiving sweet
letters and footing- bills, while at tho
samn time he Is not denying himself
the glorious freedom of bachelorhood.
When Mr. Hartzell cornea in now, after
being out with the boys, there will be
no one to say him that' he should have
been in earlier. Mrs. Hartzell will de
vote her married life to an effort to
obtain her husband's pardon, which Is
also satisfying. Her time will not rest
heavily on her hands, she -will have
the snug feeling that she is devoting
her life to a noble end, and all the
time there will be no husband to bother
and insist that she should give all of
her moments to him and the home life.
Happy couple!
When Thomas Quigley, counterfeiter,

WBl caught in a swindling scheme and
cornered by cops. His adventure opens
the question of what would be a good
substance of which to make counterfeit
c.-ike. Breakfast flakes have been sug
gested, but It has been maintained
also that there la a question hero about
digestibility. If Inventor Quiglev suc

Rooney. a hash hurler of Hartford,
Conn., had such a career, figuratively
speaking. Tears ago Rooney was one
of the tough youngsters of Hartford's
east side. I>ater he became one of the

of the open-all-night, stool variety.
Since then he has had his share of

place among- the Idle rich. He wears
glasses when he wants to read. He

Arthur Brown, Yonkers. N. V., was
robbPd by the meanest burglar in the
annals of crime, awkwardly classifying
the burglar, not long ago. He was de
prived of every thread in his boudoir,
including all his week day clothes and
all his Sunday clothes. If he had not
been asleep in bed he probably would
have been robbed of his pajamas. When
he got up to chase the thief he could
find absolutely nothing in the house to
wear on the chase. All was gone. A
gold watch and $49 were also gone.

ARMY ROMANCE ENDS
IN BRILLIANT WEDDING
NEW YORK, May 12.— Romantic courtship,
begun at a lonely military post In Arizona,
following the publication of tho young wom
an's photograph In a New York newspaper,
extending over a period of three years, had
remitted In the marriage of First lieutenant
Collln 11. Rail, IT. 8. A., company K. Fifth
United States infantry, and Miss Maude Lor
raine Eno, residing with her widowed mother,
Mrs. Walter Kirn, at 651 West One Hundred
and Seventy-second street.
Lieutenant Ball, serving with his regiment
at the Arizona post, glancing through a. news
paper, wag attracted by the photographs of
four girls attending the Wadlelgh high schol.
One Hundred and Seventeenth street and Sev
enth avenue, among which was a portrait of
Miss Kno. Cutting Miss Eno's portrait out of
the paper and writing,* message In French
on the reverie stile, Lieutenant Rail mailed it
back to the young woman.
Miss Kno promptly acknowledged its receipt.
Letters began to pans. Although the writers
had not seen each other, the correspondence
soon became fervent. Lieutenant Ball's regi
ment was transferred to the Philippines. He
took part In several engagements against the
warring bands, and at one time, it Is said,
performed a secret mission for tho Chinese
government. Recently his regiment wan or
dered to th» military barracks at Plattsburg,
N. V., and a few days ago Lieutenant Hall
came to New York to claim Miss Kno as his
bride.
Lieutenant Ball Is 33 years of age and Miss
Eno 21.

THERR has horn a lot "f dope
written about day clerks, front
clerks, room clerks, key clerks,
inn II clerks, information clerks and
about every other kind of hotel clerk,
but there is one Individual who hai
been passed up almost entirely. He is
the night clerk. The guy Who stay*
until all hours of the morning to put
belated wayfarers to bed and finish up
any little jobs the boys on the day
watch are unablo to attend to. The
fellow who has to keep busy when
there is absolutely nothing to do, no
one to talk to—who has to go to bed
When all the rest of the world Is Just
starting on another Jolly old d
that's the night clerk, and some long
suffering bard, who la all out of sub
jects should just hand out a few
verses eulogizing him.
He really is to be pitied. He can
never have a girl, for what foung wo
man would favor a fellow who can't
come to sec her even once a week, let
alone half a dozen times? Even the
daily trend of his married life is badly
disturbed by tho late, unholy Watche
which he keeps. At the same time
there ara few divorces among the hotel
night clerks—possibly because they al
ways have good excuses for staying
out late.
And still, thorn are some advantages
about being- night clerk. Scientists
claim there la no difference between a
night and a day clerk. These Individ
ual! themselves differ with their more
learned brothers. The clerks know
there is a difference—in salary.
They tell a story about a young- hotel
proprietor who was about to discharge
one of hIK room clerks for some rea
son. Just before the manager tied
the can he happened to consult an old
hotelkeeper.
"I'm going: to flre So-and-So," said
the young manager.
"Why?" asked the old manager.
The young man explained, stating
several grievous offenses which the
clerk had committed. The old man
listened patiently.
"You don't want to fire him," he
told his young friend. "You want to
make him night clerk. That's worse."
HURRAH FOR DANIEL CUPID,
78QUIRE!
The little blind, or alleged blind, boy
is at work, and as usual is busiest at
his old stamping ground—the Hollen
beck hotel. Result—two marriages at
the Hollenbeck yesterday.
There certainly must be something
In the atmosphere at the Hollenbeck.
Nearly everybody who stays around
there long enough gets It. Some of
them get over it, of course, but in
nearly every case it's fatal.
In yesterday's first match figured L.
C. Bowles of New York city and Miss
Jessie L. Simmons of Clyde, Ohio,
both of whom are guests at the Hollen
beck. They were married at noon and
will spend their honeymoon here. No.
2 wedding took place last night. The
principals wore B. Z. Haggerty and
Miss Alice E. Rushton of Kansas. They
will make their home in Los Angeles.
A couple of drummers were talking in
the lobby of the Alexandria last even
ing-, and their topic of conversation
was, to say the least, a surprising- one.
for drummers. They must have both
been married and homesick, for they
were talking music.
Did you ever hear a drummer talk
music? No? Listen—this is what they
had to say last night:
"There's something awful brewing
In the popular music line," said the
iconoclastic salesman. "Ha'-e you got
hep to it? It's a touch of the sri-nt
masters, the big boys in the realm .it'
tones. Don't know just how it started,
but I g-uess it was that thing on the
Orpheum circuit, ringing in Mendels
sohn's Spring Song. That wasn't so
bad, If the thing could only rest with
that. But now I see there is another
one—about that lovely melody Ruben
stein wrote. When I saw that I said
to myself, the thing's off; before the
end of th« year every last one of the
great masters will have turned over In
his grave several times and groaned.
If there is anybody that lacks real
originality it Is the so-called popular
song writer. One In several hundred
strikes something new, and then all
the others dig- In after. You remember
'After the Ball,' that started all the
rest of 'em on some sad dance affair.
"Where the Silvery Colorado Wends Its
Way' sent them all up and down the
streams of the country. Remember
•Waltz Me Around, Willie? 1 Then the
others got to two-stepping and polka-
Ing. So it has been going: in the pop
ular song line, until finally one of them
discovered Mendelssohn. I'll bet that
at the present time several hundred of
these song writers are poring over the
masters, trying to figure out some tuno
that can be Introduced by 'them's the
melody he wrote.' Now, don't for a

boys.' They were the real thing, and
all others are Imitations. But thin is
what's coming. We are going to h*VB
fair maidens throwing themselves off
cliffs with slush words set to Verdi's
'Miserere;' the brave young soldier,
cutting through the enemy, waving the
stars and stripes, to the March from
'JPaUit;' while the butcher boy who is
in love with Annabelle will pour forth
his yearnings to the strains of Bellini's
'Hear Me, Norma. 1
"Wagner's 'Bvening Star' will surely
bo frazzled. Talking about evening
stars reminds mo of Halley's comet.
I hope it will hurry along. If it hits
anything I hope it will collide with this
new song notion."
Just to illustrate how a hotel clerk
must be continually on the lookout for
crooks and dead beats anil their like,
Fred Wood of the Haywurd staff told
this little story last evening:
"It was while I was in one of the
houses In Salt Lake city," he began,
"and was very well acquainted with all
the hangers on around the hotels.
"At thiH house the cafe was In the
basement, and I always tried to ar
range my luncheon hour so as to ho in
the dining room when It was not
crowded. This afternoon about 1:30
o'clock I .was down getting a little bite
to eat, and there was not another per
fton in the room, with the exception of
the cashier, a pretty little girl who
■was altogether too innocent to handle
the money she did. During the meal I
glanced up occasionally, hoping that
some one would blow in and eat with
me. Someone finally did blow in, but
not to eat. He stepped up to the cash
ier and bought a cigM" from her. I
recognized him at once as a m;ui about

town who did not bear an enviable rep

]■• ckets a. little—stalling, .seemingly —
and it Just dashed into my mind that
hi' was trying to beat that little girl
out ft some money, i hiked for her
desk aa soon as i could ami asked her
what that fellow had wanted.
"Hi bought two cigars, 1 she an
swered me In rather a haughty tone,
disliking to have me butt In the Way
I did.
" 'Did he pay fur them?' I asked.
" 'Yes, he did. and with a ten-dollar
hill. 1
" 'IJlil you .omit the change out for
him." l asked next.
1 'Yes,' she replied.
" 'Well, you count your cash,' I told
her. 'You'll tind >ou arc just ten dollars
short '
"And, sure enough, she was. Sly
counted it over again, and waa still
short. Then she began in gel excited
about it and burst into crying. 1 told
her not to worry, that I would K>'t that
guy, and then explained how it was
done.
"The man pays for the cigars with a
ten-dollar note and gets his change.
You Bee, he still holds the note In his
hands, and as soon as the change la
laid down he reaches in his pocket and
draws out a quarter, Baying:
" 'Why, there i.-- a quarter I did not
know I had. I'll Just pay for my cigars
with that.'
"He thru tucks the ten Into his
pocket again, and still having the
change, walks off. Now that trick
sounds simple when it is written out,
but there is many a barkeeper and
cashier around hotels right here who
have had It worked on them, and the
worker get away with it. When clev
erly done it is almost sure to work.
"This guy, however, I caught later
and made him walk down into the cafe
and hand over that ten to the little
girl. He didn't try it again around
there."
Someone tried to start something
around the hotels last evening, and
they came near getting it started. A
Western Union messenger boy was
making the rounds asking if Carrie Na
tion was stopping at each particular
house. He really had a message for
her, with instructions to find her.
Gee, the way some of the clerks and
managers did double up when the boy
would ask for that woman. Washing
ton, at the Lankershim, yelled "Lock
the bar!" Harry Fryman reached for a
chair and prepared to contest every
step of the way into his wet goods em
porium, while at the various other
houses detectives and special officers
were called out to head the illustrious
Carrie off. She didn't show up, how
ever, and the messenger is still hunting.

turned last evening from a short visit
to San Diego and Is once more at the
