IT seems unjust that ELIZABETH
should not be permitted to tell her
story. 1t is true she has told it SO
often and i'm so many different ways
before, that as evidence in favor of
BEECHER or against her husband 1T
would not be entitled to nor receive
great consideration. Still we should
like to hear the new version which she
would now give of the old story. 1t is
refreshing TO read the doves denunci-
alton of her ne'er do well husband.
Her assertion that the father of lies is
an angel of light compared to T4Eo-
DoRE has our endorsement, and it ex-
cites our sympathy to read the little
woman's observations that she is a
long-suffering and much-abused wife.
Judge NELSON. ought to admit her
testimony. 1t cannot be worse or
more unreliable than that of her hus-
band and other witnesses already on
record. Enough has now been given
to satisfy the world that nobody's
character will be seriously injured by
this trial, and the universal verdict is
that ELIZABETH is as good, if not bet
ter, than the other ingredients of this
pretty kettle of fish.

What is Needed.

1t is the common remark, not only
of the newcomer but of those to the
manor born, that all California needs
to make her the garden spot of the
world is water. If this is true, and
there is little reason for doubling it, it
rests with ourselves to make our State
the most fertile and beautiful that the
sun shines on. All the water we need
is here; all that is needed is utiliza-
tion. There is enough and more than
enough water pouring into the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys-the
two great valleys of the State-to irri-
gate every acre worth cultivating in
those broad levels, and at some day
not far in the future grand State sys-
tenn of irrigation will be inaugurated
which will be carried forward until
every drop of water necessary to make
those valleys TEEN with the products
of the farmer will be utilized. The
plan of creating irrigation districts
commenced by the last Legislature is
working well where actual operations
have been commenced and will lead to
satisfactory results. The fruits of this
work will, we have no doubt, prove so
great that in time one grand State sys-
tenn of irrigation will be adopted
When We have turned the water from
its natural channels and spread it over
the valleys we shall have increased
the value of our annual products hum
dreds of millions of dollars and fur
nished homes and employment for
two or three millions of people. These
are the opinions of men familiar with
the State, its area of arabic land and
its water supply. Thus it will be seen
that it is. not water California needs,
but utilizing of the water she has to
make her the happy home of millions
of people. f3~e 8tcgsat.f r

Death Of S. r. Butterworth.

Samuel F.. Butterworth, a promi-
nent citizen of this city, died yester-
day afternoon, after long and pain
full illness. The deceased was born at
Newburg, N. Y, in November, 1911,
and therefore was over 63 years of age
at the time of his death. He was ed
ucated at Union College of the same
State, and after graduation in 1888,
applied himself to the study of law
with the late Edward Tompkins, in
New York city. He shortly after de-
parted for Mississippi and engaged in
the practice of his profession. Under
Van Buren's administration he was
appointed United States District At
torney for Mississippi. .At the close
of the term he was commissioned JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of Mississ-
ippi, an honor which he declined.
About this time he took very active
part in politics, being a pronouneed
Democrat. He was the organizer of
the United States Assay Office in
New York, and was it's first Superin-
tendent. The Office was created in
1857. His arrival in this State was i'm
1864 in connection with the new AL
MAIDEN Quicksilver mine suits, of
which Company he was President. In
1854 he settled permanently here and
became the manager as well as Presi-
dent of the New Almaden Company.
In 1870 he retired from the Presidency.
Up to his death he occupied the posi-
ton of President of the North Bloom
field Gravel Mining Company. When
the University of California was estab-
lshed by an act of the Legislature,
Mr.. Butterworth was appointed one
of the Regents by Governor Haight,
and he was chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Regents of the Uni
versity during its infancy. He was
an active and judicious friend of the
University and many of its fine fea-
lures originated in his suggestions.
He was the author of the resolution
abolishing all fees and charges, and
declaring the University absolutely
free to all properly qualified appli-
cants, as well of other States and
countries as of California. Another
resolution offered by Mr.. Butterworth
opened the doors of the institution to
youngSwomen and admitted them on
terms of equality, in every respect,
with young men. Mr.. Butterworth
was also prominent as Commits
sioner of the Golden Gate Park, in
which capacity his good taste was of
great practical value.
For more than a year Mr.. Butter
worth suffered from chronic disease of
the liver, and for a month preceding
his death he was confined to his bed
and suffered very much. The pain
left him toward the end, and at 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon he passed
quietly away. Mr.. Butterworth leaves
wife and two daughters, Mrs. G. p.
Pringle and Mrs. Louisa T. Haggin.
The funeral will take place tomorrow,
at IL A. NJ, from Trinity (P. E.
Church, corner Of Post and Powell
streets. .--S. f. Bulletin, 9Th inst.

it will be in few years. But If we
expect to reap all the advantages aud
profits we are entitled to, our fruit
raisers must respect the quality of
fruit more than they have done. Hith-
erto they have had more regard to
quantity than the quality. We are
quite sure that We have not the best
quality of any class of fruit. II is true
we have been able to sell and USE all
that we have raised, but it is only be-
cause it has not came into competition
with the best class of fruits. Our or
chards are susceptible of great i'm
provement. Our peaches and apples
are not half as good as they can be
made. 1t is by grating and
budding that the improvement
in fruit is obtained, and now
while young orchards are being
planted, is the time to look after that.
Not one half the time and labor is
required to do it now that it will re-
quire when the trees are several years
old. Our vineyardists have taken con-
siderable pains to improve the grape,
and in few years they will be amply
rewarded for their trouble. AS all
manner of fruit can be raised on a
large scale here, we desire to see not
only the largest but the best fruit in
the world.

Letter From a Patient In the County Hospital.

EDITOR HERALD Los Angeles
County Hospital is situated in the city
suburbs. The buildings are two in
number composed of frame structures
of plain architecture and divided into
four wards or separate apartments
two Of the above wards being neatly
finished with wainscoating plastering
and flooring, and all necessaries which
afford proper ventilation. The occu-
pants of the latter wards are invalids
suffering from accidents and diseases
that require more care and prompt at
tention. The majority of patients are
suffering from consumption, paralysis
and rheumatism. The number dis
charged last week, twelve; number
under medical treatment, fifty; num-
died second day after being admitted,
from fracture of the skull, in
fiicted by unknown persons, and the
others were old hopeless cases. The
physician in charge is DR.. Brooke, his
appointment to the hospital being
of late. Patients place implicit con-
fidence in him as he has been success
full in his operations and has fathomed
unknown cases. The hospital is under
the direction of the Sisters of Charity,
who have many difficulties to contend
with. They are patient and attentive
and spend all their time in trying to
give comfort to their much afflicted.
The wards are kept neat and clean-
bedding being regularly changed,
vctuals properly cooked and butter
and meat of Il good quality. Patients
in genera are satisfied with their con-
dition, and the success of the Sisters
compares lavorabIy with other hos
pitfalls founded on the same principle
A number of the patients are in con-
dition to patrol under the shining sun,
but time passes by quite slowly and
each day is to the afflicted as if it was
composed of thirty-fve hours. Patients
require books and periodicals to read
to pass away their time and cause to
forget their sufftrings, past aud pres
ent, and to increase their future hopes.
We invite the citizens of Los Angeles
to visit the hospital and inspect it for
themselves. There are numerous at
fractions for visitors, and we hope to
see many of them. Hoping some lady
or gentleman will come forward and
break the ice towards furnishing the
invalids with reading matter and Wis.,
iting occasionally, remain
AN INNATE CoNvALEscENT.

lowing:
VIM. Dale aud Owen Gayle came in
yesterday They, in company with
Mr. Gilbrath, owner of the team with
which they were travelling, William
Dean, teamster, JAS. p. Culp, fellow
Traveller, made their camp at Water
Station, seven miles North of Borax
Lake, April 30th. While preparing
their supper two leNicans came up
and ordered them > mold their hands
up. Six or eight other mounted men
were at u short distance. The men
were al tied. The cook at the station
was used as an Interpreter. The rob
bers took from them everything they
had-their money, matches, clothes,
and blankets, and made the cook at
the station bake them "a lot of bread
and pack that and other provisions in
sacks for them. The robbers said they
were attacked by soldiers at Big Lake
ten days ago. One OF them was
wounded, and some of their horses
were killed. The leader of the party
told the cook that his name was Cruz
Lopez, but his appearance, especially
a large scar on the right side of his
face, answered to the description of
Chavez. He ordered the cook to let
the travellers have what provisions
they wanted, and tell Belshaw and
Beaudry to charge it to him. He
says they will kill those gentlemen at
sight. 1t is said that Belshaw and
Beaudry have their works at Cerro
Gordo fortified and guarded by sol
diers, in anticipation of attack. None
of the robbers spoke English, although
it is believed they understood it, as
they seemed able to read the labels of
the provision cans.
