KNOCKED DOWN.
The RObber Captured by Detectiv
MetZler.

On Thursday evening between 7 and s
O'Clock Mr.. B. H. Herrick, of Anaheim,
was knocked down and severely injured
on Alameda street by a Negro who at
tempted to rob him. The old man, who
is 81 years of age, went into restaurant
at No. A North Alameda street and sat
down to eat something. A Negro was in
the restaurant and asked Herrick to take
drink, but Herrick refused saying he
had money enough of his own to buy
drinks if he needed them. The Negro
asked him how much he had and he said
$40 in money and check for 500. A
short time afterward Herrick went out
in the back yard and the Negro followed
him. Herrick returned and the Negro
followed him. Herrick then went cut
and when ne reached the corner was
struck on the back of the neck with a
sandbag. He fell to the ground, and
his assailant, who proved to be the
Negro, jumped on him with his knees,
but Herrick seized his hands and pre-
vented him from robbing him, at the
same time calling for help. The
;; Negro became frightened and ran
down Alameda to Banning street and
thence to Sepulveda street, where he
stopped at No. 46 and in an excited
manner told man that he had knocked
Herrick down and that he would have
made 500 if 20 much noise had not been
made. Herrick repor ed the matter to
Detective Metzler, who worked up the
matter in his usual efficient manner and
arrested the Negro last night at his resi-
dence, No. II Sepulvtda street, and
charged him with assault to rob.
Herrick is seriously injured and has
been bleeding at the nose and mouth at
intervals ever since receiving the blow.
Quite a number OF men have been
knocked down in this vicinity, and in
every case it has been reported that the
robber either had his face blacked or
else he was Negro. 1t is therefore sus-
pected that the author OF all these rob-
berries has been captured, and Detective
Metzler is TO be praised for the manner
in which he has worked up the evi.
dence.

Third Ward Councilman.

DR.. J. H. Bryant, the nominee for
Councilman for the Third ward, came
to Los Angeles some two years ago from
st. Paul, Mimi, where he has lived 20
years. He was one of the bulwarks OF
that city, as he was largely instrumental
in building that great metropolitan city.
The Doctor has decided opinions and ex-
presses them forcibly. He was identified
with all the progressive Improvements,
educational, industrial and commercial,
being perpetual member and active
director in the Chamber of Commerce
He was one of the few who succeeded in
bringing to st. Paul number of manu-
featuring establishments, and from his
own means contributed over 50,OOO
towards that object. The Doctor is a
successful, shrewd business man; has
hosts of friends, and possesses sterling
qualifications, eminently fitting him for
a leader in city affairs. He has trans
fe1red not little of his worldly poses
sions to this city, having last year paid
upwards of 81 800 into our tax treasury.
He is spoken of in the highest terms of
commendation by his lifelong friends
who intimately know him, and the
Third ward cannot go astray in his selec-
ton.

Los Angeles is rapidly filling up with
visitors from the East who come, many
OF them annually, to Southern California,
the land OF perpetual sunshine and flow
ers, to escape the ice and snow of their
distant homes beyond the Rockies.
Naturally the first and most important
thing which presents itself to them on
their arrival in the City OF the Angels is
"to what hotel shall go, where can l get
firet-class accommodations, combined
with convenience of location, at reason
| able rates ?" Now, it is pleasure to the
| HERALD to come to the rescue of its
many readers and assist them in their
perplexing dilemma. The new Carleton
Hotel, conducted on the European plan,
under the new management, is one Of
the most desirable family resorts in the
city. There are number of cheerful
rooms, both single and en- suite,
which are calculated to make
the most fastidious feel perfectly
comfortable. In the restaurant, which
is second to none in Southern California,
the epicure can get all delicacies in sea.
son prepared in any style, and served by
polite and we'll trained walters. Regular
meals are also served one of the features
which the New Carlton prides itself on is
the five O'Clock dinner. This excellent
hotel, which is situated at 155 and 157
s. Spring, has every advantage of loca-
ton, being but few minutes walk from
the Postoffice, Opera House and leading
stores. Within radius of five blocks
are situated some half dozen churches.
The proprietress, who has but recently
come to California, is pleasant, refined
Southern lady. She derives great plea
sure from her efforts to make her guests
feel perfectly at home, and to her credit
be it said, she succeeds admirably.

Falling Out Of the Exclusives.

just as some of the hairs of the scalp
fall out from time to time-and this
may be taken as q natural process-the
eyelashes may be observed to become
detached from the eyelids in varying
numbers; this is physiological, and un.
less caused by some apparent disease
of the lids, involving the roots of these
hairs, they are replaced in period of
from three TO four weeks.
The oculist is often asked: "What
can be done to promote the growth of
the eyelashes and TO make them beauti-
ful?" IL may be disappointing to have
to say that there is no method of ac-
complishing this when nature has de-
creed otherwise, but such disappoint-
ment will be far less than that which
follows as result of cutting them.
A little white vaseline applied in very
small quantity occasionally may in
crease the beauty somewhat by pre-
venting excessive dryness; but beyond
this the eyolashes should not be inter
fered with in anyway. The most fire.
quent cause OF diminished beauty of the
eyelashes is disease OF the eyelids.

Social Progress in India.

Some enlightened natives o. India
are taking active steps to put an end to
the scandals of infant marriage and en-
force widowhood. Legislation has
hitherto been withheld on this subject
in Difference to what has been conceived
to be the customary and religious law
of India. The learned Brahmins of
the reform party now maintain that
true Hindoo law is repugnant to these
scandals, and call upon the govern
ment, If it will not so declare, to APP
point at least commission to inquire
into the true state of the case. A
memorial is being signed by the ma
tiyes, asking the appointment of a
commission composed of Hindoos and
Europeans of opposite views, official
and non-official, old and new Sanskrit
pundits or learned men, to ascertain
whether the principles of bill sub
mitted with the memorial are not per-
fectly consistent with the Hindoo law.
This bill would date the marriage from
tho time when the bridegroom took
home his bride, instead of from what is
practically only betrothal.

The Fatal Mine.

know of vastly rich mine in the
San Gabriel mountains. Los Angeles
County, that has caused the death Of
every man who tried to carry ore away
from it. You may.call this superstition,
but there are dozen miners besides
myself who know of the millions that
could be taken from this mine and yet,
are afraid to go near it. Some half q
dozen men had been killed by caves,
ETC., when my partner and / arrived,
after run of six months of hard luck
in Arizona. We worked around few
days, and took out some specimens CT
as beautiful gold quartz Gs man ever
laid eyes upon. My partner desired me
to go to San Francisco to purchase tools
and material for developing the mine.
He went and took several pieces of ore
for assaying with him. The ore was
found to be worth about 81 900 ton.
In the meantime, l remained in Los
Angeles awaiting my partners return.
The next / heard OF him was that he
had been stricken with leprosy and died
a horrible death in the pest-housa. 1t
is hardly necessary TO state that / never
returned to the mine. The certainty
that ! also, would come to my death in
short order, prevents mo from doing

Power OF Music.

The Spanish and Indian Californians
were passionately fond of music. All
the men could make shoes and play the
guitar, and every woman could sing
Spanish songs to her own accompanir
ment. Bancroft, in his California Pas
toral, tells how the people after the
conquest of the country by the United
States were reconciled to the new rule
by music.
The Californians were invited to re-
turn to their homes and resume their
usual occupations. Proclamations
which promised protection of their per-
sons and property were placarded in
the towns, but they would not come out
of their hiding-places.
The Commodore, whose naval force
had helped to conquer the country, was
at Los Angeles, and, meeting Captain
Phelps, an old trader on the coast, re-
quested his help.
Commodore" replied the Captain,
"you have fine band on your ship,
and such thing was never before in
this country. Let it play one hour in
the plaza each day a. sunset, and l as
sure you it will do more good toward
reconciling the people than all your
proclamations, which few of them can
read"
The Captains suggestion was adopt
ed. AT first the children came forth,
and peeped around the corners of the
houses. A few lively tunes brought
out the vivas of the elder ones, and be-
fore the band ceased playing they were
surrounded by delighted natives.
The next afternoon the plaza was
thronged with the people of the town
and with ranchmen from a distance,
who, having heard of the wonderful
banl, had ridden in. The old priest of
the mission of San Gabriel, as he sat
by the church door opposite the plaza,
listening to the music, was introduced
to several of thu naval officers.
II have not heard band" said the
old man, "since left Spain, over fifty
years ago. All! that music will do
more service in the conquest of Cali
tornia than thousand bayonets. -

Hidden Death In Africa.

Central Africa is the finest hunting
country in the world. Here are the
elephant, the buffalo, the lion, the
leopard, the rhinoceros, the hippopot-
anus, the giraffe, the hyena, the Gland,
the zebra, and endless species of small
deer and antelope. Then the whole
country is covered with traps to catch
these animals-deep pits, with jagged
stake rising up in the middle, the whole
rooted over with turf and grass, so ex-
actly like the forest bed that only the
trained eye can detect their presence.
1 have found myself walking uncon-
sciously on narrow neck between two
of these pits, when a couple of steps to
either side would almost certainly have
meant death. Snakes, too, and espe-
cially the hideous and deadly puff
adder, may turn up at any moment,
and in bathing, which one eagerly does
at every pool, the sharpest lookout is
scarcely n match for the diabolical
craft of the crocodile. = Tropical
