VOLUME XXXXII HANDIWORK OF PUPILS SHOWN AT THE SCHOOL MANY SPECIMENS OF LABOR EXHIBITED AT FREMONT BUILDING WORK OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND MANUAL TRAINING CLASSES ON VIEW The product of the busy hands of the pupils in the Manual Training and Domestic Science departments of the grammar school, which is on exhibition at the Fremont building this week, is attracting many interested visitors, and the display is worthy of an inspection. These departments were only inaugurated in the grammar school at the beginning of the present term, consequently the pupils have had specimens of salads are also among the exhibit. The cooks who prepared this display range in age from 13 to 15. Another interesting exhibit is the vegetable display from the home gardens of the pupils of the eighth grade, also the pets which were brought in by lovers of animals among the several rooms. No prizes were offered for excellence among the various exhibits. Prof. Vander Veer stated that the object of the display is merely to permit the patrons of the school to view the work and judge for themselves what has been accomplished in this the first year of the manual training and domestic science depar­ ments of the grammar school. BISHOP CONATY COMING Will Administer Sacrament of Con­ firmation to Large Class Right Reverend Thomas J. Conaty, bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles, will administer the Sacrament of Con­ firmation to a large class at St. Boniface Church on Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock.

These departments were only inaugurated in the grammar school at the beginning of the present term, consequently the pupils have had but a few months' training in the work, but some of them, in each of the various branches, display remarkable aptitude. In the art department, presided over by Miss Edwards, more than a thousand specimens of drawings are exhibited. These range from the crude efforts of the lower to the maturer work of the higher grades. Several of the pictures were drawn from imagination after hearing a story related or read and some of them show wonderful unanimity of thought. Specimens of cardboard furniture with which miniature bedrooms were furnished, were displayed in this department, and a number of baskets, made by Mexican children of the fifth grade, show skilled work. The cabinet work of the manual training department, is under the direct supervision of Superintendent J. L. Vanderveer. The boys of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades are each permitted two hours a week in this branch, and some of the specimens they have turned out display extraordinary skill, or at least, very careful training. Pieces of furniture of various description, all the work of these pupils, are displayed. A few of the pieces turned out by these boys would do credit to a joiner or a cabinet maker after serving his apprenticeship. The domestic science department, under the efficient management of Miss Bertha Kimball, is the most interesting from a female standpoint. One room is devoted to needlework. Here the girls learn to sew, beginning with a patch, the first specimens of which are displayed on a table, and traveling up toward efficiency until the latest productions look (to a man) like they came from an up-to-date ladies' tailoring establishment. Each of the pupils who range in age from 10 to 12, was compelled to make her own aprons for use when she passes next season into the next section of this department—the cooking school. BISHOP CONATY COMING Will Administer Sacrament of Confirmation to Large Class Right Reverend Thomas J. Conaty, bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles, will administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to a large class at St. Boniface Church on Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Bishop Conaty will also preach at the morning service, and will be greeted by a large congregation. He will while here be a guest of Rev. Father Dubbel. An invitation to the public is extended to be present at the services and hear the distinguished prelate's sermon. DREAMED HE SHOULD DIE Premonition Comes True to Miner in Arctic Circle Fritz Ruhman on Monday received a letter from Henry Gatgens, who is mining at Nome, in the Arctic Circle. Mr. Gatgens writes that he is prospering in the work of developing his mine. The winter has been mild until recently, when a storm arose and the thermometer dropped perceptably. He gives an account of a very unusual experience of a mineowner, who after several years of litigation won title to mining property adjoining that of Mr. Gatgens. The night after his victory in court he dreamed that he had only three days to live. He referred to it laughingly to friends the following day, and each day thereafter spoke of it jocularly. The night of the third day he again spoke of it lightly,saying, according to his dream, that was his last night on earth. He went to his home, fell down stairs and broke his neck. MISS NEWCOMB WEDDED Popular Young Buena Park Lady Surprises Friends When Miss Estelle L. Newcombe, a popular young lady of Buena Park, was preparing for her wedding, she told her friends that she and her mother were going for a trip to Honolulu together. The proposed trip to Honolulu was a successful blind, and her friends never suspected the truth. Even the young lady's father was kept in ignorance of the day of the wedding, although he knew that Here the girls learn to sew, beginning with a patch, the first specimens of which are displayed on a table, and traveling up toward efficiency until the latest productions look (to a man) like they came from an up-to-date ladies' tailoring establishment. Each of the pupils who range in age from 10 to 12, was compelled to make her own aprons for use when she passes next season into the next section of this department—the cooking school. This is the branch that is most interesting to the men. Fifty-three young ladies of the seventh and eighth grades each have specimens of delicious cookery on a long table in their mammoth kitchen. All the breakfast cereals are displayed in tempting array, various kinds of vegetables, meats in the easier forms of cooking, eggs in every conceivable shape, butter cakes and quick breads of all kinds, also several varieties of custards and puddings. Many Popular Young Buena Park Lady Surprises Friends When Miss Estelle L. Newcombe, a popular young lady of Buena Park, was preparing for her wedding, she told her friends that she and her mother were going for a trip to Honolulu together. The proposed trip to Honolulu was a successful blind, and her friends never suspected the truth. Even the young lady's father was kept in ignorance of the day of the wedding, although he knew that the trip to Honolulu was polite fiction. The mother of the bride was the only one who knew that the wedding was set for Monday. Miss Newcombe went to Santa Ana with Rudolph L. Grenke, who has been at Buena Park for some time, coming from Long Beach. A marriage license was secured, and the couple went to the residence of Rev. Otto S. Russell, pastor of the First Baptist church, Santa Ana, where the ceremony was performed. FARMER M'NEIL THOUGHT IT A JOKE Considered References to Warm Weather as Funny Farmer McNeil came into town the first of the week from his ranch on Garden Grove road, laying aside his work of shucking pumpkins long enough to get a shave, buy a cigar and see the sights of the city. The valley had been blanketed with heavy fog during the morning hours, and shortly after noon, when Mac came to town the sun peeped through the fog banks, and old-timers complained that the weather was warm. "Come here in the shade, out of the sun," said a friend, "and we'll talk about the weather and things. Its getting warm." "This talk about hot weather," said the Farmer, as he bit off the end of a two-bit cigar, "is a joke. You don't know what hot weather is. At Phoenix people would freeze to death in this sort of weather. It's fine." McNeil came in from Arizona last summer and purchased a walnut-ranch southwest of town. In addition to walnut culture he is going in for vegetables, poultry raising and dairying. He used to conduct the largest printing establishment in Arizona, and was one of the chief sachems of the democratic party. He says he is out of politics, and would not give up ranching in Southern California for the best job in the new state. It is rumored in Phoenix that Mac left the state to avoid being nominated by his party for governor.

FRANK DOWLING DELIVERS NOTABLE ADDRESS TO OLD VETS. Each succeeding year sees a diminished rank of the old veterans who annually meet on the 30th of May to pay tribute to the memory of those who have been mustered out. Every Decoration Day the survivors of Malvern Hill Post find mounds in the cemetery on which to strew their flowers which were not there the previous year. Memorial services on Sunday, May 26, were held at the Presbyterian church. Instead of meeting at their present generation to duty was to recall the past, mingling with the great men by reading and discussing their acts. Soon we will hold this decoration day with nothing but a memory. One hundred old soldiers are stacking arms and passing out each day, he said. “If I should ask what was the real cause of the civil war, I would receive various answers from you, but our young friend who recited our martyred president’s Gettysburg address, expressed it in one sentence: “That government of the people, for the people and by the people, should not perish from the earth.” All present joined in singing “America,” at the close of Elder Dowling’s address, and Rev. C. R. Moore pronounced the benediction. There are thirty heroes of the war sleeping in the Anaheim cemetery, but theirs were not the only graves remembered by loving hands. Both Anaheim and Fullerton had ceased their business for the day and the cemetery was crowded with people who came loaded with beautiful flowers to pay annual tribute to the memory of those who had gone before. Y. M. C. A. OUTING AT CAMP WILSON ORANGE AND SAN BERNARDINO LADS WILL COMPOSE PARTY BOYS LOOKING FORWARD TO ENJOYABLE VACATION The Y.M.C.A. of Orange and San Bernardino counties will hold their annual outing at Camp Wilson August 14 to 27. A circular letter issued by County Secretary Hamilton gives the following details: All applicants for camp must hold a membership ticket in the Y.M.C.A. At points where there is no organization the county secretary will issue a ticket good for one year upon the payment of one dollar. Applicants must fill out a campers’ application blank, and have same approved by Each succeeding year sees a diminished rank of the old veterans who annually meet on the 30th of May to pay tribute to the memory of those who have been mustered out. Every Decoration Day the survivors of Malvern Hill Post find mounds in the cemetery on which to strew their flowers which were not there the previous year. Memorial services on Sunday, May 26, were held at the Presbyterian church. Instead of meeting at their hall and marching to the church the members of the Post assembled in the church yard and at 10:45 marched into the building, where the usual memorial services were held. Rev. F. W. Mitchell, pastor of the church, delivered the sermon. At the cemetery on Thursday, the Post assembled at the gates and formed in line. Then headed by Crowther's Cadet Band and a company of high school cadets, marched to the stand where the services were held. Comrade Markle offered an invitation and after the Fullerton Union High School Glee Club had rendered a selection Hollis H. Knowlton recited Lincoln's immortal address on the battlefield at Gettysburg. This was followed by the decoration of graves by a troop of school children commanded by a delegation of the Daughters of Veterans. "The Unknown Dead," was the subject of Rev. A. B. Markle's address, and he painted a pathetic picture of those who died and were buried without identification marks on the graves. There are eighty thousand unknown dead lying in Southern cemeteries, he said, and thirteen thousand of them are at Andersonville. He told how the soldiers after a battle found it necessary to dig trenches and bury the dead in rows, and thus untold thousands are lying in unknown graves. Prof. Delbert Brunton, of Fullerton, recited James Whitcomb Riley's beautiful poem, "Old Glory." Rev. Frank Dowling delivered an eloquent oration. To me this occasion is one of memory, he said, and it has been questioned whether memory is a blessing or a curse. He considered the best way to call the HIGH SCHOOL IN COMEDY Schiller's "Der Neffe als Oukel" Presented Friday, June 14 The German department of the Anaheim Union High School cordially invites the citizens of Anaheim and their friends to attend the presentation of Schiller's comedy, "Der Neffe als Oukel," in the high school auditorium, Friday, June 14, at 8 o'clock. The play will be given entirely in German, but for the benefit of guests who may not be familiar with the German language, a brief synopsis will be given before each act.

R.K.P., composed of companies of this city, Fullerton, Orange and Tustin, under command of Major Walter Amstutz, went to Los Angeles on Wednesday evening last, when they met with other companies of the brigade in an effort to select a successor to Brig.-Gen. Driffil of Oxnard, who will retire from office. No quorum was present, only fourteen com­panies being present, while fifteen MESSENGER ARRESTED Officer Germann Picks Up Lad Wanted on Felony Charge Lawrence Kirkland, aged 18, an employee of a Los Angeles package delivery concern, was arrested by Deputy Marshal Germann at the Santa Fe depot one day last week, as he was about to take train for Los Angeles, and was charged with felony. He was locked up for the night and was the next morning taken to the city for trial. When arraigned in police court, charged with the embezzlement of $78, he asked permission to plead guilty. When told that he could not do that until the case reached the superior court, Kirkland said: "I am sorry, for I want to save as much time and trouble as possible." His ball was fixed at $1500. He was a messenger boy for the company, and secured the money he is accused of having stolen through the delivery of C.O.D. packages. BITTEN BY VICIOUS DOG Four Collie Curs Attack High School Girl Myra Sheldon, a fifteen-year-old highschool girl, was bitten by a large collie dog on Broadway near Philadelphia street on Monday afternoon as she was returning home from school. She was bitten in the thigh and wrist, and her clothing torn. From the wound in the wrist blood flowed freely. Alexander Henry, who lives at the Orange county battalion, U.R.K.P., composed of companies of this city, Fullerton, Orange and Tustin, under command of Major Walter Amstutz, went to Los Angeles on Wednesday evening last, when they met with other companies of the brigade in an effort to select a successor to Brig.-Gen. Driffil of Oxnard, who will retire from office. No quorum was present, only fourteen companies being present, while fifteen were necessary. Election will be held by mail in the near future. Fifty members of Anaheim company, in command of Capt. Geo. Eastland, marched to the depot at 6 o'clock. About 160 members of the battalion were present from Orange county towns. Arriving in Los Angeles, the battalion, headed by the Fullerton band, marched up town to the K. P. hall. Many Knights were present at the meeting, but there being no quorum in attendance, no election resulted. Brig.-Gen. Driffil declines re-election, and indications point to Col. Stansbury of Los Angeles as his successor. Election will be made by mail, commissioned officers of each company, as well as brigade officers, being entitled to a vote. Alexander Henry, mascot of Company 28, accompanied the brigade, attired in his kilties, and entertained the Knights with highland dances. Mr. Henry is a survivor of the Crimean war, and is one of the most popular men in the brigade. A tour of the Knights without him is like treading some banquet hall deserted. BOYS' RELAY RACE Anaheim Lads to Compete for Honors in Long Distance Sprint On Saturday evening last, representatives of the various Y.M.C.A. organizations of the county met here and made arrangements for pulling off the greatest Y.M.C.A. relay race ever attempted in the county. At this meeting it was arranged that Santa Ana, because of her large membership, should constitute one team and the organizations from Anaheim, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Placentia, and Villa Park make up the other team. The race to be run is one 19.2 miles long. The Santa Ana team starting at Orange or near there,and the other team at the Santa Fe depot in Anaheim. Each team will be composed of 38 men, each to run Four Collie Curs Attack High School Girl Myra Sheldon, a fifteen-year-old highschool girl, was bitten by a large collie dog on Broadway near Philadelphia street on Monday afternoon as she was returning home from school. She was bitten in the thigh and wrist, and her clothing torn. From the wound in the wrist bleed flowed freely. Alexander Henry, who lives at the corner, had his attention attracted by the screams of the little girl, and he ran to her assistance. Had it not been for his timely interference, she might have been torn to pieces by the infuriated cur. Mrs. Vickery who lives at 220 Philadelphia street, was later bitten by one of the four collie dogs kept at the point of the first attack. Mr. Henry and other people living Continued on Page Eight CARPENTER WINS DAMAGE SUIT Injured at Santa Ana Gas Works, Gets Large Judgment I. B. Carpenter of Santa Ana was awarded damages in the Los Angeles superior court in the sum of $6500 against the Southern Counties Gas Company. The suit was the result of an accident at the company plant at Santa Ana on August 8th last, when Carpenter was severely burned as the result of a flare of gas coming from one of the retorts. Carpenter had just gone on duty for the day when the accident occurred. Stories as to the manner in which it occurred were conflicting, but Carpenter claimed that another employee had opened a door at the wrong time, and that the flare-out resulted. Carpenter was severely burned about the neck and arms. He went to the Santa Ana hospital, where efforts to repair the burned surface were fruitless. Finally a number of Carpenter's fellow-members in the Fraternal Brotherhood submitted to a skin-grafting operation, which has proved satisfactory. In the testimony it was brought out that one of Carpenter's arms might be permanently crippled as a result of the accident. The suit was brought in Los Angeles on ground that that city is the principal home of the defendant company. George Dutton is assisting City Clerk Merritt at the city hall. He is out for Roosevelt and reform, and says he always was for Teddy.
