PUCE YOUR TROUBLES
IN THE HMOS OF
PROPER AUTHORITIES
Mr. Editor:
I noticed a communication in
the Journal a few days since in
which the writer takes the city
officials to task and "rakes them
over the coals" for, the condition
of some of I he small bridges and
culverts. While in one respect
the writer may he right, but in
, another he is all wrong. The
bridges he speaks of should he
repaired, and were it the duty of
the city to make such repairs, the
work would have been done sev
eral weeks since. But it is not,
and if the writer is so muchly in
terested in the matter he should
jnake his complaint to the county
commissioners, instead of en
deavoring to blame the city gov
ernment with something over
which it has no control. The
present administration has tried
very hard to please the people in
respect to keeping up the streets
and crossings, and have enough
to do to attend to our affairs in
this respect without meddling in
to that which the county rum.
Tnissioners should look after.
John 1 Saltier, Mayor.

"We need," said Dr. Jones, ' to

worn now by ymiiiK women in

a menace to morals. The urow

Long Heaeh, when the large pier
at. that place collapsed, is given.
The Herald also gives the story
of the sudden death of Arthur
Helps, formerly of this city, when
old of the death of his wife in
the pier wreck. The death of Mr.
llelns occurred .itist a few min
utes afler the fact of Ihe identity
of his wife was established, and
Ihe shock proved too great and
heart failure brought the husband
to join his wife in death.
Mr. and Mrs. Helps had only
recently returned from a long
visit to England, where they had
been visiting relatives. Both of
Ihe unfortunate people were quite
prominent in Long Beach, Mrs.
Helps being identified with the
woman clubs of that place, while
Mr. Helps was a member of the
real estate firm of Helps & (lundy

From Thursday's Daily.
The art and penmanship ex
hibit that is being held in the
Riley block by the pupils of the
public schools is a splendid
chance for the parents and all
others interested in the work of
the school- children to call and
view the handiwork of the
scholars.
The penmanship exhibit is in
charge of Miss Marie Kaufmann,
who is instructor in this depart
ment of the public schools, and
Ihe fine showing made by t lie
children is due largely to her
splendid work, along the lino of
instructing them. The mascular
system of writing has just been
installed in the schools in the
past year, replacing the former
stiff linger method, and the chil
dren are rapidly grasping the ad
vantages and ease of the new
over the old style of writing and
their development in the past few
months has been something
wonderful and their specimens .
shown at the exhibit speaks well
for the work of the little folks
ranging from to 13 years.
The art department has a large
collection of different sketches
made by the pupils under the di
rection of Miss Ellen Windham,
and her talents along the line of
art work has brought out a really
wonderful showing from the
pupils under here, and the beauty
of Ihe different exhibits would do
credit to much older and ad
vanced students in Ihe work. The
exhibit will be open I he rest of the
week and Ihe public is cordially
invited fo call and inspect the
work of the young folks, as their
showing is one that the school
should feel proud of, and they
will after they view the exhibit in
the Riley block. Prizes will be
given in the penmanship depart
ment Friday after the judges se
lected view the different specimens.
