| ness from which our popular Re-
corder, Charley Miles, is suffering,
will prove fatal in its results. Mr..
Miles was one of q fishing party
who started out some days ago to
the Temascal canton. As is gen.
orally known, Charley Is very
athletic ard muscular man; and,
one morning, he set out for thor
ough trout fishing. He shortly
distanced his companions. Climb
ing up hill and down dale, lie over
heated himself and plunged, in that
condition, into the ice-cold water
of Temescal Creek. In q little
while he was chilled to the heart,
and he experienced q buzzing in
the ears, which was Immediately
followed by violent attack of ty-
phoid fever, which looks as if it in
tended to hold the fort to the end.
Charley's legion of friends are
much concerned at his critical con.
dition.
We had the pleasure of a call
yesterday from Chief Justice Wal
lace, OF the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia. We acknowledge the COM
pliment with special cordiality be
cause the fact is universally con-
ceded that, if he were not a Judge,
he would be Democratic Ieader-a
thing which the party, in this
State, sadly needs no wadays. Judge
Wallace, in his personnel, recalls
the scriptuIal remark, that, some
time or other, "there were giants
In those days" The pious Watts,
somewhere or other, says, "The
minds the stature of the man."
Judge Wallace, like very many
memorable men, in America, at
least, fortifies an active intellect by
almost the stature and physique of
| Charlemagne. He will probably
leave Los Angeles Monday, to re.
turn, in October, as the presiding
officer of the Supreme Court of
California in the first session ever
held in Los Angeles.
1.-THE Chinese must go.p And
they are going, in Chinatown, at
least. The square behind the Pico
House, with Negro Alley, now con-
tains between eight hundred and
one thousand people. This is
reduction of easily fifteen per cent.
of the Mongollans who congregated
there one yearago. When, pursu-
ant to the decree of the Courts, Chi
natown shall be demolished, there
will be another Hegira of the Ce-
lestials to fresh fields and pastures
new. The sooner they go the bet.
ter, say we. In view Of the paral-
ysis of industry which has accom-
panied their presence here, their
room is far preferable to their COM
pany.
Day before yesterday Chief Har-
ris received telegram from
Bakersfield requesting him to ar
rest Chinese man and woman
named All Fong and All Foy, who
had committed grand larceny there
and who were supposed to be on
the train due here that day. Officer
Fonck was detailed to make the
arrest and, on the arrival of the
train captured the culprts. On
searching their baggage some
jewelry and other articles of the
stolen property were found. Officer
Frank Drake, of Bakersfield, ar
rived here yesterday and will take
the prisoners back with him to-
day.
Mr.. w. H. Northcraft. auc-
tioneer, informed us yesterday that
the oil paintings belonging to the
estate of the late Monroe L. Pierce,
sold by him on Wednesday, in.
stead of being worth $4,000 had
been appraised by experts, who
fixed their value at SOS or $40.
They had been received by Mr..
Pierce in payment of bad debt
and he thought so little Of the col
lection that ho had never opened
the case in which they had been
packed. The sum realized from
the sale was sos instead of 800 as
enormously stated.
Attention is directed to the an
nouncement, "Auction sales this
day." which appears in our New
To-Day" Mr.. Noyes, auctioneer,
will be able to satisfy almost any
want-household furniture, horses,
buggies, wagons, and, indeed,
everything necessary to the farmer
or denizen of the city, will be Of
fered. At 1880 p. NJ. he will COM
mence the sale, on the premises,
corner Main and Second streets, of
one of the finest stocks of carriages
and buggies ever put up in this
city. Rare bargains will undoubt-
eddy be sold.
The Republican County Central
Committee met at the Office of
Brunson & Eastman yesterday and
appointed n su b-committee, con.
sisting of Messrs. Nichols, Mans
field, Barrows, Widney, Lord, East
man and Thornton, to hold n con-
| ference with the Farmers and
| Workinginen's Conventions to-day.
Their purpose is doubtless to i'm
press upon these organizations that
their true policy will be to nomi-
nate good and true Republicans as
candidates for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention.
For the benefit of our friends the

and varied from thirty TO sixty
pounds in weight.
