A Persian in Los Angeles.

Mr.. EDITOR OF THE. HERALD am an
Oriental, my home being by the side of
the Tigris. in land far away. l have
travelled for many years, and have seen
much of the surface of the world we in
habit; but, since last looked upon Bag
dad the Beautiful, I have never visited q
region as lovely as this. Perhaps this is
because in the climate, as in the vegeta-
ton, am reminded of my own far-away
home.
l find great resemblance in other
things than the sky and the products of
the soil. As l tread your crowded
thoroughfares l am forcibly reminded of
the streets of my native place. There,
too, the bazaar occupies that portion of
the street which you call sidewalk, and
there the enterprising merchant displays
in seductive guise his wares. In Paris
also there are these covered sidewalks,
which there are termed passages, but
the merchant of Paris never has thought
of utilizing the space outside of his
place of business. That your keen
traders do make use of these arcades-
as they may be termed-I regard as
marked feature of American progress.
Your city even surpasses our Bagdad,
assuredly the most progressive city in
the world, in this matter. The Boy,
who in the name of the Padishah, gov
erns that fair city, gets no advantage
from this usage of the merchants here,
l am informed, the municipal govern
ment derives considerable revenue
from the rental of this portion of the
public domain. Even a Persian may
find ideas worthy of adoption obtaining
among so new people as this, and, on
my return to my country, shall advo-
cite this remarkably utilitarian measure.
l shall be thanked by the payers ol
tribute to the Bey. twill seem curious,
though, that Persia can learn of the
United States; but, in this matter, as
our Saadi sings: Better to enquire tha
way of an infant than to keep on in thu
pig-headed way of our grandfather
great grandfather. lUsEF.

efforts and predicting for them bril-

DR.. Kurtz was called upon and said:

SUICIDE.
An Old Citizen Ends His Troubles
with a Pistol.

Early yesterday morning Coroner Ma
deau was notified that Thomas Gray,
who lived ON Flower street, between
Sixth and tn streets, had shot
himself. He hastened to the house
and found the man already dead. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Gray had gone to bed
the night before without betraying
any unusual feeling, beyond a
despondency that had grown more no.
ticeable of late, on account of financial
troubles. He had invested all his money
in od-yard, and the owners of the
property were about to move his stock
off of the premises, leaving him with no
place to put it. He told his wife last
night that they were penniless, and that
he didn't know what to do. She tried
to encourage him, and as he said nothing
more about the matter she supposed he
had driven the unpleasant subject from
his mind. Yesterday morning at about
five o'clock they both got up and dressed,
and Mrs. Gray went into the kitchen to
get breakfast, leaving her husband in
the bedroom. Their little girl then
went into the room and asked her father
to dress her. This he did, after which
he kissed the child and sent her out to
her mother A minute or two after
wards pistol shot was heard. His
wife hastened into the room and found
the dead body of her husband sitting i
a rocking chair, pistol in his right
hand He had shot himself in the head,
the ball, entering at the right temple,
having passed through his head and lodg-
ed in a door on the other side. The
weapon was an English 'bull dog" of As
caliber. A jury was empaneled and
rendered verdict in accordance with
the above facts.
Deceased was SO years of age and
native of Pittsburgh, Pa. He had been
a resident of Los Angeles many years
and at one timo owned large farm ad-
joining the Rancho 10 Cienega. 1t is
supposed that the loss of this property
and other financial difficulties, preying
on his mind, impelled him to the rash

Card from Col. q. Wiley Wells.

EDITOR HERALD-Sir: My attention
has been called to an item published
in the Herald this morning, taken from
the San Diego Sun, in which the appli-
cation of Harry M. Schiller, of San
Diego, for examination before the Board
of Examiners for appointment as a cadet
to the Naval Academy is discussed by
that paper, preceded by the ill-natured
heading "Was it Design?"
For several weeks preceding the exam
ination the following notice was publish
ed daily in the city papers, giving pub
licity to the proposed examination:
U. s NAVAL ACADEMY cADETsHIP.
NorIcE is hereby given that competitive exam
ination for cadetship in the u S. Naval Acad-
emy will be held at the Supreme Court room,
Mascarel Block, on Main street, in Los Angeles,
CAL, ON the 10th day Of May, 1892 All young
men between the ages Of fourteen and eighteen
who desire to enter the examination are in
vted to be present.
Soon after the first publication of that
notice l received a letter from Mr..
Schiller stating that he was candidate
for examination, etc. There was nc
other Invitation than that public notice
extended to him or any Other person to
apply for examination that / am aware
Of, and l presume his application was in
response to the uotice. Nor didthat no.
tice contain any ''promise to send in

article referred to, but, nevertheless,
replied to his letter as did to the other
applicants, acknowledging its receipt,
enclosing copy of the printed notice
referred to as giving the date of the ex'
animation, and also stated in my letter
the course of studies through which the
examination would be conducted.
Mr.. Schiller can blame no one bu
himself for his failure to attend the ex
animation, as timely notice was giver
through the press, and he had all tn,
opportunity for preparation that thu
other young gentlemen composing thu
class enjoyed, and no partiality wa
shown either before or at the examina

REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.

One of the evidences Of the progress
of the United States is the rapid reduc-
ton of the principal of the public debt,
| which bids fair to exercise an important
influence on the markets for securities.
On Saturday last call was made for
s2O. DOC, 600 matured bonds. During the
month Of May other bonds, aggregating
$4,000, COO, will mature, and on June Z
still another call for SIS, COX, 600 will be
due. 1t is confidently expected by
those competent to judge, that
i'm addition to this sum OF S5O,OOO,-
600 the Government will pay of
S75,OOO,OOO to 100000, 600 of the public
debt before the close of the calendar
wear. An expulsion of money from gov
eminent bonds on so large scale must
necessarily lead to demand for other
investments, and to an extent that will
probably bring about marked enhance
ment in the market price of railway
mortgages and other securities that re-
turn a fair income to the buyers. 1t isnOt
surprising, therefore, that investors dis
regard merely speculative influences
and the daily fluctuations in prices
on the Stock Exchange, and are taking
GOOD bonds and stocks out of the market.
The past week has rather favored in
tending buyers, stocks having declined
and railroad bonds on this account hav-
ing been prevented from making any
great advance, which would otherwise
have followed in the wake of the dOmes-
tic and foreign demand for that class OF
securities. 1t is not likely that the fav-
orable opportunities for secure invest
ments now offered will long be con-
tiDued
