The Achievement of n Plucky
Girl.
Last Sunday young lady at Long
Beach named Miss Clark went in bathing
in the surf. She is an excellent swim
mer, and, over-confident in her aquatic
ability. staid in long time and ventured
far out. The tide setting strong from
the shore she found herself unable to
stem the current and called for help
Two men tried to reach her but were
forced to return ashore unable to &C.
complish heir purpose. For an hour OF
more the case Of this young lady was
desperate, but seeing her still keep above
the water, some men went a
considerable distance and procured a
boat in which they made their way to.
wards where she was. On rowed the men
with might and main. Breathlessly the
people watched from the shore, hardly
daring to hope Miss Clark would be able
to sustain herself until aid should reach
her. At length the boat pulled within
reach and the brave girl was rescued
from an nntimely grave in the PREACHER
ons depths of the sea.
When she found her case so seemingly
desperate Miss Clark. while treading
water TO keep her head above the wave,
removed her bathing suit so as to enable
herself to float. Thus unburdened, she
floated on the receding tide until the
boat came to her relief. One less brave
or less dextrous in the water had been
inevitably lost.

PURE LAGER.


The Great success of messrs.
,maier & Zobeietn.
One OF the principal features Of the
grand parade yesterday was the wagon
Of the Philadelphia Brewery loaded to
Its utmost capacity with the new brew Of
lager beer. The wagon, which Is new
one, was handsomely decorated and at.
trscted great deal Of attention. Messrs.
Maier & ZoDelein would gladly have
placed their other three wagons In the
procession, but one was all that could be
spared 80 great was the rush OF bust
ness. All along the route the Philadel-
phis wagon was received with enthusi-
asm and there was q loud demand for
the new brew which the proprietors
good naturally acceded to and samples
were given out to large number. 1t Is
fact that no beer has ever before
proved so popular in Los Angeles. Con-
sidering the brief time it has been be-
fore the people the sales have been phe.
nomenal. At the principal saloons 1t
has superseded all the other favorite
brands, and If Its popularity Continues
to increase in the ratio it has, In short
time large shipments to this city Of
the eastern product will be thing of
the past. The reason for this is easily
explained. The Philadelphia lager is
home product. At enormous expense
Messrs Maier 4 Zobelein have fitted up
the addition to their brewery and pro-
vided it with all the latest improved
machinery. The material used Is all Of
the best quality and 1t is ample fact
that II Is the only really pure beer to be
found ia this city. 1t Is, as Is we'll
known, impossible to bring the product
Of the eastern brewers across the ooun.
try without the addition of articles
which are by no means desirable. Pure
lager like that which is now being turn
ed ont of our local brewery, is a
pleasant health.glving beverage, and
there Ia now no excuse for using any
other. The Philadelphia lager is pro.
nounced by connoisseurs to be perfect.
Fresh from the ice vaults Of the great
brewery, it is a drink aft for the gods.
All who are run down and require q
good malt tonic to build up and regulate
their systems during the warm season
will find that the Philadelphia lager
fully meets their requirements. When
the vast sum of money which is annu.
ally sent East for inferior lager is con.
sidered, it will be seen that we have ex-
cellent reason for rejoicing that such an
excellent substitute has been provided
in the pure lager of our own city.
Messrs. Maier & Zobelein are to be con.
graduated for their perfect success.
