JONES LOST HIS WAY.
Unable to Find Wheeler, He
Cultivates Mr.. Manhattan
Cock tail.
It Was a Long Journey to
Zig-Zag Street With Drinks
Between.
Every Time He Drank Things
Looked Different, You
Know.
A Night When the Air Was
Full Of Angostura
BitterS.

John Demorest Jones is man of SO
modest and retiring a disposition that
he can not even soliliquize without
apologizing for obtruding his remarks
upon his own attention. Besides this
modesty he also possesses some other
virtues which are very rare in this
world, among them being temperance
of the strictest sort. Remembering
these peculiarities the reader will un-
derstand that no ordinary influence in
duced Mr.. Jones, on recent evening,
to invade nearly all the saloons within
mile of his house, and to return with
nineteen Manhattan cocktails, and
every indication of hopeless inebriety.
Mr.. Jones has recently moved to No.
It's Zig-Zag avenue, st. Paul. He had
no previous acquaintance with the city,
but he knew Henry Wilson Wheeler,
who lived in the city. On the evening
referred to he started to make a call
upon MI. Wheeler, and the result shows
how many snares lie in the path OF inno-
cence in great city, crooked city.
Mr.. Jones knew that his friends adj
dress was No. rs Zig-Zag street. He
was not aware. however, that in st.
Paul the street and avenue of the same
name have no connection with each
other, but, on the contrary. run where
they please, and stop when they get
tired. He supposed that Zig-Zag street
must be near Zig-Zag avenue, but he
could not find it, so he asked a police
man to direct him.

WANT.
II don't be on this beat very long"
said the policeman. IAN | dunno no
such street. You better ask on the
corner beyant."
When Mr.. Jones reached the corner
indicated he perceived that it was &C.
cupied by saloon. So were all the
other corners in sight. 1t is pecul-
iarity of st. Paul. Mr.. Jones had never
not know the etiquette of such places.
He had an indistinct notion that it
would be necessary to ''Set 'em up" for
the boys, OF at least to purchase some
thing for himself. He decided that the
latter would be no more than fair as
return for the information he sought.
IL can get something that isn't intoxi-
eating" he reflected. So he entered the
nearest saloon, and was Immediately
confronted by barkeeper who was
nearly seven feet highland sign which
read: ''Try Onr Manhattan Cocktails"
Mr.. Jones was a small, slender man and
timid, as has already been said. He telt
overpowered by the commanding pres
ence Of the barkeeper, and so he meelliy
asked if Manhattan was the name of a
liquor.
"Never heard of no such liquor" said
the barkeeper.
SIS il wine?" said Mr.. Jones.
"Naw," said the giant.
"In that case you may give me one Of
your Manhattan cocktails, and will you
please tell me the way to Zig-Zag
Street?"
"Know anybody on Zig-Zag street,"
said the barkeeper with that easy famil-
iarity which had made him SO popular
in the ward.
81 am looking for Mr.. Henry Wilson
Wheelson," said Mr.. Jones.
"Dunno him. Take Jay street cars"
and the barkeeper set the cocktail be-
fore his customer. Mr.. Jones drank it
hurriedly, and then put out the fire in
his throat with large glass OF water.
lit tastes little strong" said he.
"Now, locker here-don't you be
givin' me any CUFF about der cocktail.
Reckon l made 'em before you was
born, and I'll be maxim 'em after you're
dead if you keep on bein' so fresh"
Mr.. Jones hastily withdrew in so
great confusion that the forgot the
directions in regard to the cars.

THE WAY THE LAMP POST APPEARED
TO MIR. JONES AFTER HIS UIC)
NINETEENTH COCKTAIL.
Jones drank the preparation.
"Now, what do you call that?" he
asked.
''It's Manhattan cocktail. and you
can't get better
''JoneS fled. When he got out into
the cool air he felt better, but he re-
membered that he had not yet discov-
cred his way. An inspiration came to
him; he would ask tor some SarSaparilla.
He lodged into the third saloon as hur-
riedly as possible, for he began to fear
that some of his neighbors might see
him and get erroneous ideas of his hab-
it's. Inside the place the hot air con-
fused him, but he managed to ask for
the sarsaparilla. The barkeeper set out
a fat glass with tall, thin stem. Jones
swallowed the contents mechanically.
''Here! what in thunder are you do
ingT yelled man on his right. You've
gone and drunk my Manhattan cock
tail"
Goodness. that's unfortunate said
he to himself. 81 m afraid shall have
to go into another Of those horrid sa-
looms"
He turned the corner hastily, and in
his embarrassment entered the side
door of the very saloon he had so re-
Gently left. When his eyes rested on
the black proved giant behind the bar,

the barkeeper. "Here's your cocktail !;

Jones put it down.
''I'll make another if you say SC" said
the barkeeper.
Jones hastily escaped to avoid such 9
catastrophe. and he had not yet learned
the way to Zig-Zag street. He began to
feel queer.
Il believe I'll go over to the other

walked across the street and entered
the saloon. The man in charge was
very polite and gentle in his manners.

LIBRARIAN WALLIS.
Investigation of Waterman,s
Charges Against Him.

. - ~ AAAhAAs
SAN Francisco, January 16.-The
charges filed by Governor Waterman
against State Librarian Talbot FL.
Wallis on December 9th came up to-
day for investigation by the Board of
Trustees Of the Library,
Attorney Hinckson, on behalf of
Wallis, said that the acts of the State
Librarian had been investigated by
the Assembly Committee last year,
which had reported favorably upon
them, and these same acts should not
be made the subject Of another inves-
tigation.
w. H. L. Barnes differed with the
gentleman. Governor Waterman's
charges were made to the Board call
ing their attention to the fact that the
grossest acts were said to be perpetra-
ted in the library by employees Of the
Board, and his letter was simply an
invitation for the Board to join him in
a talk over the matter, in which he
would present his witnesses as to the
specific charges.
The Board then decided to hear the
witnesses of the Governor on
all the charges excepting the
first and seventh, regarding the
bookbinding and qualifications of the
librarian, of which they thought they
could be the best judges; and the in
vestigation was continued till to-
morrow

THE READING RAILROAD.
Important Charges Prepared by
the knights of Labor.

the knights of Labor.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 49,
For several days there has been un-
der consideration by leading men in
the order of the Knights of Labor, the
advisability Of bringing suit by the
commonwealth through the Attorney
General againstethe Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad and Coal and Iron
Company, to compel them to do cer-
tain things which, it is alleged, they
are obliged to do under their charter,
and various privileges granted by the
State.
One charge is that the companies,
by refusing to settle with the men, are
''cornering" coal and other necessa-
ries, for the purpose of enhancing their
values and extorting exorbitant prices
from the community.
Another charge relates to the re-
sponsibility of the company as COM
mon carrier, it being alleged that on
account of the company's action, men
are employed who do not give the
best of service, and whose efforts re-
suit in delay and loss to the COM
munity.
A COAL BLOCKADE.
READING, Pa, January 16.-The
last coal shipped down the Reading
Railroad from the Schuylkill region
was on Saturday, and since then not
a pound has come down. In fact, no
coal has been shipped during the past
forty-eight hours, and this fact has
been eagerly seized upon by the dele
gates who attended yesterdays con-
vention. They say that it shows the
solidity of the strikers all over the
Schuylkill region.

ORANGE GROWING.
The San Fernando Valley
Scheme.


Scheme.
The following statements will pro-
duce glow of pleasure in the hearts
OF all patriotic Angeleflos. 1t is most
decidedly the right way of doing
things.
Messrs. Brownlee & Maurice of this
city have taken contract to plant
$50 acres of the ex-Mission ranch at
San Fernando solid to orange trees.
These gentlemen will at the
same time plant 22O acres ad-
joining to the same fruit for themsel-
yes. This is 470 acres to 90 solid in
oranges at that point. There are to
be $4,000 trees planted on the two
patches OF land. The Messrs Brownlee
4 Maurice expect to sell trees to the
amount of 10000 to 5000 to other
parties in the same vicinity. About
the first proximo theyEwill leave there
for Florida to get the trees which will
come out in solid train of
ten cars, and it will take ten days to
make the trip across the continent.
In the meantime the ground is to be
prepared and the holes dug. The
planting will be proceeded with as
soon as the trees arrive here. 1t will
take until about the end of March to
complete the planting. Negotiations
are in progress to sell other
large orders to other land
owners in South California. Mr..
Browmlee has had many years Of ex-
perience in Florida and at Riverside
in orange culture, and will doubtless
be able to do full justice to this under
taking. This is the true way to boom
the country, and one which will have
to be reverted to more frequently in
the future if we would maintain the
country at the acme Of it's attractive
ness and worth.

SAN Francisco, January 16.-The
latest victim to appear against Pitcher,
Hamberg, Neustadt and Kenny, in
dicted for the half interest swindling,
is Mrs. Thomas Trenell, widow. In
October 1886 Mrs. Trenell and her
husband, an invalid, came to this
city from the South Sea Islands.
Trenell answered an advertisement
published by the swindlers and they
induced him to purchase in their fac
tory for $500. He then discovered
that he had been cruelty swindled,
and the matter so preyed upon his
mind that it fastened his death,
which occurred in the city and county
hospital last March. The widow is
now in straitened circumstances, and
to add to her distress her only child
is now dying.

placed and the acting throughout was
most satisfactory. Mr.. Lewis as
