/. THE TRUTH"

The Advertiser OF yesterday heads an edi-
toral with "The Truth about the Libel
Suits" and goes on to say that "There can
no, be adduced the slightest evidence that the
government, in any way prompted or took the
least part, except what was necessarily official,
in the libel suit" The writer shows con
sideralje temper in his reply to a charge made
by the Gazette that; THE issue fully proves
the antagonism of the government againS, an
independent press" We think that mos, OF
our readers will admit that the Gazetie's
charge goes without saying. So far as the
ample evidence that Doctor Fitch asserted that
"the old man" (meaning the president of the
board OF health), had forced him to bring the
recent suit. 1, is true that the paleaceous
premier did not fully represent the govern
ment at tha, time, although he did represent
the foreign office. the health department, the
educational interests, and the pries,ly dignity
Of the Opposition shop" A, present, he

guilty OF libel in its charges against Doctor
Fitch. this unblushing Iime-seyer uses the
columns Of the official mandolin to shrek

Fitch is so Justify laboring. The how Of that
boat is directed towards the entrance Of that

River: and neither Mr.. Gibson nor Doctor
Fitch must be permitted 10 "erawhsh" " out

Their ENTERTAINMENT at TurnvereIn
Hall Sunday Night.

The entertainment given by the above
popular society at the hall on Saturday
evening, was conspicuous success. The
hall was jnmmed with the Turner's and
their friends. and all enjoyed the even
ing hugely, as well as the dance which
followed.
The programme was an excellent one,
commencing with the interesting play,
columbia on the Rhine" which was
loudly applauded by those who under.
stood the language. 1t was preceded and
succeeded by some very excellent German
part songs by the singing section. All
through the evening the fifteen membera
delighted the audience with their splen.
did vocalization.
Following the singing the Turner'S ap-
peared with their leader, Prof. Andrew
Fnhrberg, and performed some splendid
acrobatic and gymnastic feats in their
usual unparalleled manner. They were
applauded to the echo. The singing
section then again made It's appearance,
and sang well, after which some more
turning was done, comprising some very
difficult feats. The society contains
some very talented acrobats.
The comedy entitled English" was
next played in German by the MaehIs.
1t pleased the audience greatly, and has
some strong situations.
A dnnce followed, and was kept up
until late hour. The whole affair was
most enjoyable.

French and California Wines.

An investigation of the quality Of
French wines has been recently made at
the Municipal laboratory, Paris. Three
thousand samples were examined, and
the result was startling, the Partisan
press demanding a reform almost as a
unit. OF the 5000 samples, only 27l
were found to be good, 99l passable,
while l,73S samples, or much more than
half the entire lot, were absolutely bad.
Shortly after, another examination
was made by the same scientists. This
time 1850 samples were examined, and
resulted much as the first time--372
good. 6S3 passable, 669 bad, while las
were described as being positively in.
furious" What contrast to this a
test of California wines would be. and
yet our people do import adulterated
and frequently injurious French wine.

The slashing epidemic broke out
among some ''rude fellows of the baser
sort" on Saturday night, when an Indian
was badly cut - the abdomen by some
person unknown as Set. On Sunday
Rudolfo Silvas was badly cut on one of
his arms by man named Miranda, an
old offender. Later in the day, Manuel
Valenzuela was cut in the throat by
Medina Marcos, tough citizen. who
was arrested while attempting to ride
out Of town secreted in the bottom of a
wagon.
Yesterday William Johns and George
Hall were arrested for stealing oranges
from the grove of Mrs. MacDougal, on
San Pedro street.
In the evening Francisco Carmona,
who keeps a dreadful deadfall on Buena-
vista street, was jailed for keeping a
disorderly house. Our readers who
have passed this deadfall in funeral pro-
cession, to the Catholic Cemetery have
often been shocked by the revolving
scenes around this disorderly place.
Mr.. Anderson, Fannie Smith and
Lucy, were also taken in last night for
the old charge Of drunk and disorderly.

Improved Carbon Burners.

Appliances for the electric light are
constantly being improved. 1t is we'll
known that the carbon burners made
from calcined wood are not rs pure rs
they should be, and that the purer the
carbon is, the better the light. The
luminous power and the regularity of
the electrical current increase in direct
proportion to the density, hardness and
purity of the carbons, which should
contain no mineral impurities. One
way Of accomplishing the desired purity
is by the action Of jet of dry chlorine
gas directed at the carbon, which is to
be at light red heat. But the most inns
portant discovery appears to be in
siberia, where are found immense de-
posits of graphite of the purest quality,
and possessing the singular quality. when
purified. Of doublins its luminous Ga.
pscity over that Of It's natural state.
Even in the natural state It exceeds by
one.sixth that Of pure artificial carbon.

Bangles in Trouble.

Col. Henry Finnegas, Chief U. s.
Government Detective, arrived in the
city yesterday. and is registered at the
Pico House. The Colonel is here under
orders from Washington to seize gold
limitations Of coin. reported to be worth
SO cents and rs cents respectively. Col.
Finnegas found two hundred Of the
larger pieces at Fred Lindes' store and
eighteen of the smaller ones at c. H.
Bush's establishment. and took them
into his charge. giving a receipt for the
same. Messrs. Bush and Linde pur-
chased these pieces in San Francisco,
with other articles Of jewelry, and sold
them for bangles for ladies' use, but
never used or represented tLem as
money in any way.
These little pieces have been exposed
as jewelry in their windows, and never
sold except rs such. As ornaments for
bracelets they are very pretty but as coin
they are utter failures. On the diverse
side Of the piece is the head of
