BEATING ROTnSCLlILD.
~ Porcelain Service That Was Cheap

Among inc various admirable pro-
auctions OF taste which The guests OF

is a magnificent service Of porcelain,

One day an old man, careworn,
wrinklcd, feeble, and apparently tot

sentcl himself before M. dc Rothschild,
soliciting tho honor of an interview
with the famous banker. Tho aged
visitor took from his bag Il rich and
beautiful plate, so splcndidly wrought
that tho baron admired it exceedingly,
and became greatly deliahtcd with IT..

The baron looked ut the poor man.

Tie splendid set Of porcelain was de-

Emperor For hree Months and

Emperor For hree Months and
SIX Dnys-Hass Career.
Frederick William, Emperor of Ger
many, was born at Potsdam, October IS,
1881, and was educated at Konigsberg.
He married Victoria Adelaide, the eldest
child Of Queen Victoria. He entered
the army at an early age, but it was not
until the Danish war of 1864 that Fred
eric1 William had an opportunity for
active service in the field. But the
struggle was so unequal that there was
little honor in it for the Prussians. In
1866, however, in the memorable "Seven
Weeks War;" Frederick William showed
the sterling soldierly qualities and ca
paciiy for command for which he is re-
nowned. In this war he distinguished d
himself at Trautenau, Nachod, Skalitz,
Schweinschadel and Sadowa or Konig-
gratz.
The next and last active service OF
Frederick William was in the Franco
German war OF 1S70-7i. The close OF
July, 1870, found him on the Rhine
frontier in command OF the Third Ger
man Army Of 100000 men. On the 4th
# August he defeated General Abel
Douay at Weissenburg, and on the 9Th
attacked and routed the united army
corps of Generals MacMahon, Failly and
Canrobert. He took part in the battle OF
Sedan, and, making his way towards
Paris, entered Versailles, threw addition.
al troops around the capital, and re-
mained in the vicinity OF the invested
city until after the conclusion of peace.
Frederick William became Emperor on
the 9th day OF March last, and therefore
reigned exactly three months and six
days.
Frederick William was, before his
fatal Illness, a man Of superb physique
and imposing presence. As the repre-
sentative of Germany last summer at the
jubilee celebration OF Queen Victoria, his
towering form and stately bearing at
tracted the attention Of all, and he was
universally admitted to be the most
splendid and regal figure in that remark
able gathering of kings, princes, prince
lings and notables.
He leaves widow, two sons and three
daughters; the eldest son, Prince Will
liam, being now Emperor OF Germany
"Unser Fritz" was the idol of the army,
and at the same time, what is most ex-
ceptional IL German military men, a pro-
nounced liberal in politics. This was
chiefly owing to the influence of his wife,
to whom he was deeply and passionately
attached. His son, the present Emperor,
is a strong conservative, and devoted
friend OF the Bismarcks.

II may be question as TO whether the

Who are girt around by an uncrowned
majesty, will doubtless soon be gathered

civilization has discarded. But until
HthHt time comes it is well that the world
should accord fitting honor to those who
have reflected credit upon inherited off
ciai stations. This all people gladly did
to the Emperor Wilhelm when he passed
away, and they are again called upon to
do il in the person of his eon, Frederick

The story of his later years is pathetic in

THERE are indications that gratifying
era Of development is about to set in our
county Of Kern. Hitherto
the great drawback there has been that
most Of the valuable lands have been
held in few hands. Nearly all the fertile
tracts have belonged to the Messrs. Hag-
gin x Carr, Miller & Lux and General
Beale. The latter has shown his disposi-
Lion to divide his immense possessions
and Haggin & Carr are about to follow
suit. The lands Of Kern county are rich
and well watered, and this new depar-
ture viii insure a large and prosperous
population there. In addition, railway
developments OF very encouraging
character are certain to be reported from
Kern county very shortly. All this
ought to assure Bakersfield decided
boom in the near future. That portion
Of Tulare county which adjoins the Kern
county line, is also experiencing quite a
lively inquiry. Though the crops in
Tulare county this year have not been NJ
to the standard Of the past, artesian Yell;
are being developed on every hand, and
orchards and vineyards are being set ou
in great numbers. The coming fall snC
winter will witness an immense move

Things Established. .

The late discussions about the Police
Department OF Los Angeles, divested of
words, have established certain things.
They are:
ID At no time in the history of Los
Angeles has the Police Department OF this
city been administered more efficiently
than under the control of Chief Cuddy.
AZ no time have vice and crime been
more vigorously suppressed-at no time
has there been so high grade of law
and order.
I2.) At no time in the history of this
city has there been SO little gambling
This statement is absolute and admits Of
no qualification. The Democratic Chief
of Police has sternly declined to COM
pound with the evil, He would not pal
ter with the evil even to admit of the
city receiving a revenue from it.
These facts being true, the attempts of
certain officials elected as Democrats to
sensationalize upon vice being rampant
in Los Angeles meet with the commenda-
sfon neither of Democrats nor OF fair
minded Republicans. The HERALD be-
heves in suppressing gambling and keep
ing it suppressed, and in giving the honor
which is their due to the Democrats who
have made its suppression possible. This
7nurnnl has given the fullest hearing to
AL parties to the controversy. AS a re-
suit, it appears that while certain Demo
cratic officials desired that the city
should receive revenue from gambling,
tue Democratic Chief OF the Police was
SFlexibly opposed to it.
In this he was right and receives the
support OF all law-abiding citizens.
The HERALD does not propose to allow
fhe facts in this matter to be misrepre-
scented, and will give statistics which
viii carry conviction TO every honest
voter. Los Angeles is to-day model
city from the point OF view OF law and
order, and we propose to have that fact
known abroad. Never in the history OF
Los Angeles have the gamblers as class
hsen SO poor and unintluential as they
are to-day. Crimes of violence are OF
extremely rare occurrence, and the ma
ahinery OF The law works here with a
yigor and certainty not surpassed any
where else in the United States. Let no

RATIO OF THE SEXES.
How It is Affected by Favorable
Environment,

Professor w. X. Brooks OF Baltimore
has discovered that favorable environ
ment tends to produce an excess of fe-
males among animals and plants, and an
unfavorable environment an excess of
males. If this be true, a race or species
which is on the point OF extinction should
have an excess Of males.
The population OF Australia consists of
small and decreasing number of abor-
igines, and a prosperous and increasing
population of foreign settlers and their
descendants, amounting, in all, to nearly
3 1000, 900 persons. As the native popu-
lation is rapidly disappearing, we should
expect to find the males more num-
erous among them, as compared
with the females, than among the
inhabitants OF foreign origin, pre-
vided other conditions are equal.
For each 100 females there were in
Victoria, OF native born Australians,
100 2-10 males; and of foreigners, excus-
i've of Chinese, l29 lilo males. The ratio
of males to females in the population of
foreign origin is because Of the greater
number of males among immigrants
very much greater than it would be if it
depended upon the birth rate alone and
as Olilo nlOuliJlbS ulnuclltt uOSb HOI al
feet the aborigines, an excess of males
among them, no greater, or even a little
less, than that found among the inhabit-
ants Of foreign origin, would indicate
that the excess OF male births is much
greater among them than among the peo-
pie Of foreign origin. Computation shows
that the excess OF males among the abo.
rigines is, notwithstanding these neu-
tralizing influences, very much greater
than it is among the foreign population.
For all Australia there are 143. 72 abo-
riginal males to each 100 females; there
are only 1864 males Of foreign descent
to each 100 females, notwithstanding the
fact that l29 males settle in these colo
nies to each 100 females.
To those who wish to follow this sub
ject further, it may be interesting to
know that an enormous collection of
statistics relative to the Indian tribes OF
the United States was made under the
direction Of Major j. w. Powell. The
results OF this census have not been pub
lished, but the material is still available,
and would furnish a much better basis
OF comparison than the one chosen by
Professor Brooks. - 70. T. Mason, in
