We would say to our contemporaries,
the Riverside Press and Horticultural,
and the San Bernardino Iader that
nearly all the preliminary puffs Of Herr
Albert Prudential which appeared in the
Los Angeles papers were furnished by
the Eminent musical virtuoso" himself,
and went in at so much per line, Just as
the same puffs, almost verbatim ct ltera-
tim, were published in the aforesaid
| Horticultural and Inder, prior to his
concerts at the respective places. We
may add, however, that, while Professor
Friedenthai is fine pianist, he does not
meet his pecuniary obligations with that
promptness which should characterize
professionals who wish to stand well
with the newspapers.
In the action Of Gaines VS.. City R. R.
Company, tried before Judge Smith on
Wednesday, the jury, after being out
only few minutes, returned verdict
for the defendant. The jury evidently
having been convinced that the railroad
was not guilty of any carelessness or
negligence. The facts seemed to sustain
the defence set up by the company, that
Gaines was under the influence of spirits
and that standing on the front platform,
he fell off without fault of the defendant.
Gaines asked for damages in the sum of
$4,000. Misunderstanding men should
go inside cars and take seats provided
for them, or toke risks of damage, which
they may sustain from accident.

oni and Spring streets. Last night he

longing to DR.. J. w. White while be
was attending the same church.
