The HERALD is sent daily To the posiOnoe In

papers are thrown from the mail train Il
surprise 10 everybody. The HERALD has
frequently called attention To the fact that
the mails were improperly delivered from
the trains, San Fernando being mistaken for
San francisco aud savannah. That was
mistake that might happen once TO postal
agent, but should not occur twice after at
tcntlon had been called 10 H. Hut when
the Etlwanda mail on Friday last was left

fensible. II Is said that the words ktlwanda
and savannah are very similar and would
confuse the average postal clerk. An exam

How the BcdOuins Conquer
Thirst.

In an article on 'The Rescue of Chinese
Gordon" to be found in "Open Letters" of
the September Century, General X. T. Colt
son. late of the Egyptian General staif. says:
"In the 'Waterless Land water is the para
mount question. II IL be asked how large
body of Bedouins like the ten thousand who
nearly destroyed the British squares at
Tamai managed to subsist, the reason Is
plain In the first place they do not need
the enormous train required for a European
army They are the most absemious of
men. Each man carries skin OF water and
q small bag of grain, procured by purchase
move with them, supplying them with milk
and meat, subsisting upon the scanty herb
age and the foliage of the thorny mimosa,
growing in secluded valleys
These people could live upon the increase
of their flocks alone, which they exchange
readily for other commodities, but being eN-
elusive carriers and guides for all the travel
and commerce that cross their deserts, they
| realize yearly large amounts of money. As
| to water, they know every nook and hol-
| low in the mountains, away from the trails,
| where a few barrels OF water collect in some
shaded ravine, and they can scatter, every

miles off. So they took the water camels at
nightfall. and came back before dayliCft
with the water skins filed, An Invading
army would find it hard to obtain guides,
aud even II they did, they must keep to-
gether and could not leave the line of
march to look for water Besides, the Be
douin, accustomed from infancy to regard
water as most precions and rare, use It with
wonderful economy. Neither men nor ami
mails drink more than once in forty eight
hours. As to washing, they never Indulge
in such wasteful nonsense. When Bedouins
came to my camp, water was always offered
them. Their answer would frequently be:
NO thanks; Idrank yesterday" They know
too well the importance of keeping IN the
habit Of abstemousneSS. No wonder they

Lo. angelo. seen by other.

Persons who have not seen Los Angeles
for Ave or six years are astonished w.en
they pay this beautiful city visit to behold
the great and permanent improvements that
have been made within her limits during
that time, The many fine and extensive
business houses, the large and elegant resi-
denccs, the miles Of street railroads and the
numerous broad and cirefully graded
streets with dense rows OF houses, all show
that the material growth of the city has
been accomplished with u rapidiiy that IL
unparalleled In the previous history Of any
settlement In Southern California. But
when the visitor who has been absent
for few years visits Los An
| geles during Fair week, he IL struck with
greater astonishment when he sees such II
| large number Of vehicles driven In all di-
| rections, aud the crowds Of people passing
| to and fro ON the sidewalks. He wonders
| where they all come from, aud nj times
almost imagines he IL In San Francisco or
| some large eastern city that has attained the
| limit OF It's growth. That Los Angeles has
| Just begun to develop into the magnitude Of
| u city IL apparent and that she will continue
| to expand and flourish for many years to
| come Is unquestiOnable. That she VIII NJ
| times be retarded In her progress and be

| In business Is to be expected, for the most
flourishing cities known have been sub
jected TO such fluctuations Calico Print

The Tramp Nuisance,

The tramp nuisance Is being abated in a
somewhat novel but very effective method
lately discovered by Officers Roach and Gale
On Sunday they snaked in seven. Six Of
them were captured in a bunch near the de
pot. These were held in tow by officer
Roach while Officer Gale went after bunch
of five others that had been spotted few
hundred yards beyond, but they no sooner
caught the CLINT OF the brass buttons than
they broke for the bushes, to Buell's Addi-
tion, with their would-be captor in full pur-
suit. Failing to overtake them he drew his
pistol and fired in the air. Fear added wings
TO the feet of the flying fugitives. They be-
lieved that they were being shot at, and
where at first they only sought to escape
the grasp OF the officer, they now fled as
they imagined, for their lives and soon dis
appeared In the bush. Shortly afterwards a
lone bird was sprung, and as he attempted
10 give leg bail the same ruse was tried on
him but he stopped, threw up his hands and
begged them for Gods sake" not to shoot
as he meekly resigned himself to the off
GERS care on the way to jail he inquired II
II was customary to shoot tramps In Tucson I;
and being assured that Il was, said that he
would hereafter give the place a wide berth
That night he and three others scaled the
jail wall and escaped. The remainder were
by Judge Meyer given six hours in which to
leave town or go In the chain gang They
chose the former alternative and rode the
first break beams going west, To-day, so far
as known, there is not professional tramp
in the town.-Tucson Star Oct, -.

Killed hY Cnrclessness.

George Pegrem, native of western Texas,
aged 27 years, was suddenly and accident
ally killed at Kingman on the 23d inst. II
appears from the evidence that the deceased
was, at the time he was killed, assisting Mr..
Chamberlain in moving car from the track
of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company
to Chamberlain's Sampling works, ON sid
ing. They were moving the car, nm empty
freight, by mules, one mule hitched to each
side of the car, the deceased driving one and
Mr. Chamberlain the other. After the car
had got under good headway, Mr.. Chamber
lain noticed that something was wrong on
the side OF the car on which deceased was
leading his mule, and saw that the mule had
fallen. The car was at once stopped and II
was found that deceased had fallen some
how under the car, and that wheel of the
lie was Immediately taken out, hut WAS be-
yond human aid and died almost instantly.

Orange Growers Convention.

In view of large crop OF oranges In
Europe and other places to compete with
the California crop. the orange growers oi
Riverside propose to hold convention OF
the growers Of thnt fruit on the ilth instant
at Riverside, to consider the best way OF
marketing their crop. They will probably
discuss the propriety Of appointing com
mittee to obtain lower rates of freight and
Of placing an agent in the principle eastern
convention seems both wise aud necessary
and will no doubt do much good by secuf-

action in shipping and selling. Although
the crop this year is not excessive II will be

to another, taking all the saloons on the

The San Bernardino Times has the follow
ing account of the wreck of the train ol
Sunday night: A wreck occurred six miles
east of Cucamonga last night about ten
O'Clock, demolishing seven ears of stock cat
tie out OF twenty-five cars, destined to san
Jose. The cause of the wreck was the
breaking of car wheel ut the Sainseyair
crossing The cars were piled three deep
with cattle crushed under the wheels. The
crew did what they could 10 save the stock
Several ears were opened and the stock driy-
en- out. About eighty head were killed OF
injured so that they will die. The stock was
owned by Dan Murphy, of San Jose, who
passed through yesterday for Los Angeles
lie was Immediately informed OF the acct
dent, and in company with the new Assist
ant Superintendent, +. II. Polk, visited the
scene OF the slaughter. The wrecking trair
was soon on hand, and together with severa
gangs of section hands were soon construct
Ing new track. This accident detained tn,
trains several hours, the local train not ar
riving until this morning at 6;Ss.

Unnecessary Waste.

The HERALD is reliably informed there is
great waste in the grape crop of the Santa
Ana valley from the lack of capacity of the
three wineries at Santa Ana and those at
Anaheim. II appears that the increased
acreage of vines coming into bearing this
year has yielded so far beyond expectations
the wineries cannot entertain the crop in
time to save 1t. Several farmers and WITH
culturists will lose from one to ten and
twenty tons because they cannot be received
at the winery in time to prevent rotting on
the vines. II is estimated that over hun
dred tons Of fine wine grapes have rotted on
the vines within radius OF ten miles of
Santa Ana, and a corresponding proportion
in the vicinity of Anaheim. Another year
the ratio of increase in the production of
both grapes and fruits will be much greater
and 1t behoQyes parties who have the means
to engage init, to start a large winery and
fruit drier OF sufficient capacity TO accom-
modate the rapidly growing demand which
has assumed startling proportions already.

A Stubblc Fire.

great smoke yesterday hung over the
eastern horizon in black and enormous
dimensions, showing that great conflagra-
tion was at some near by location, and fears
were entertained that great damage would
be done, but II turned out to be only the
burning of the vast fields of stubble of about
10000 acres of wheat and barley on the La
guna Rancho, east of town. As this stubble
was headed, there was vast amount of
straw to be consumed and the fire seemed,
at distance, to be of enormous size and de
structiveness. But the fire was kept under
control and did only what was required of
it, so that all the fears and solemn apprehen-
sions ended in smoke.
