Hon. Amos ]. Cummings tells a funny
story about a printer named Austin.
While Cummings was setting type in the
New York Tribune Office a good many
years ago, Austin did Sub" work a
spell. One day Austin said to Cum
mings "This Office is more honest than
the Times office" "Why, because when
/ went out to-day left an apple on my
case, and wen came back, there IL was,
safe and sound; nobody had eaten IT,"
"Well ?" Now, just to show you how
different the Times printers are, while
was working there last week, one ofthe
boys went Off, leaving an orange on. his
case. took it and ate it."-[Chicago

The most patriotic day in our calendar
falls upon the Fourth of July, when all
citizens are stimulated more or less under
its patriotic influences. 1t is grand and
glorious day for the average boy to ex-
hibit his patriotism and love Of his coun-
try by making as much noise as possible
with drums, fireorackers, torpedoes, ETC.,
and that is all right as far as the boy is
concerned and bis noisy Fourth Of July
proclivities.
The adults of the United States also
have their own sweet way of enjoying
themselves. Some stay at home with
their families, but the great majority
spend their Fourth from the city, and II
is for this class that this article is espe-
cially written In order To- counteract
the bad effects of the heat impure water,
and unwholesome food, of which we are
liable to partake away from home, it Is
necessary that we should use a little pre-
caution and take a preventive or cure
with us. There is nothing better to have
on trip like this than bottle of Tharp's
pure old Rye Berkeley Stimulant. II
will possibly increase your merriment
and come in excelently well in case of

HONEY THIEVES.
They Dispose of Their ROOdle to M
A. NeWmark 4 Co.

Some three weeks ago rancher's
wagon containing two young men pulled
up at M. A. Newmark's wholesale
house on Los Angeles street and one Of
the travellers entered and asked if any
honey was wanted. He received reply
in the affirmative as there is good de-
mand for the saccharine substance and
the result was that an hour later Mr..
Newmark had added to his stores
thirty-fve cases of honey and in return
had paid the suppositious ranchers
$17405. A few days later letter dated
Pomona was received at New
marks, in which it was stated
that two men were in custody OH charge
of stealing honey from the ranch of P.
Heming, of that place, and requesting
that the gentleman who had purchased
thirty-fve cases of the said substance be
sent down to Pomona on the 23rd inst, =,
to give evidence at the trial. Mr.. Frank
E. Walsh was the gentleman in question,
and he yesterday identified the two pris-
oners as tne men to whom had paid the
$174 O5 checke, and they were held by
Justice Clark for trial in the Superior
Court on charge of grand larceny.
They are named G. W. Gray and Lorenz
Timme, and are both residents OF
Pomona, the last-named individual be.
ing in the employ of the railroad COM
pany. They are young men, and their
arrest has created quite sensation.
Timme once ran cigar store at Pomona
and left the business considerably in
debted to Messrs. Newmark, from whose
establishment he received his supplies.

Los ANGELES PAPER.
The Experimental Period Passed
and the Mnnufaclure BeE

The Experimental Period Passed
and the Manufacture begun
Some four years ago a paper mill was
erected near the track leading to San
Pedro, about eight miles from the city,
but until recently very little of its pro-
duct has been seen in the market. The
manufacture of paper in this part of the
State was considered by many to be
impracticable on account of the expense
of fuel and the scarcity of the right kind
of straw, and the apparent failure Of the
mill to produce profit for the share
holders of the company which undertook
the enterprise did not create much sur
prise. The Loqnel mill manufacturers
its paper Of wheat straw and it was sup
posed the mill here could use the same
material, but the trials given wheat
straw showed that these suppositions
were not true. 1t was found that the
straw of the wheat raised in this part of
the country did not contain fiber, that
| is, by the time the wheat was thrashed
there was little OF the stock but what was
30 dry and brittle as to be of no use.
Experiments were then made in other
directions and it was finally found that
rye straw could be used advantageously.
1t retained its fiber even in this dry
climate. but still it did not bleach so
readily, nor did the paper manufactured
from it have as good market color as
that made elsewhere. Another difficulty
was found to be the limited supply of rye
straw to be obtained. This is surmount-
ed by the planting of 100 acres in rye by
the company in the vicinity of the mill.
The amount raised on these acres was
sufficient to experiment with and paper
was turned out. 1t was found, however,
that the paper thus manufactured was
not of the right color to sell well. The
company propose to manufacture Etwo
grades of paper, one for grocers
and the other for butchers.
The latter are a most fanciful class
as regards paper and no matter
how well made paper is, it must be
particular shade. Thus an off shade
butchers paper can not be sold to them,
but has to be sold at loss to some other
customers. The first turn out of paper
was an eff shade, and had to be sacri-
feed. To add to this, parts of the ma
chinery wore out and had to be replaced
in the East. All these vexatious delays
occurred to the management, but they
fought against seeming adversely, de-
termined to show that paper can be
proftably made in the Southern part of
the State, and at last it appears that
their efforts are about to meet with sue
cess. A paper has been recently turned
out which compares favorably with that
made at Loquel, and the company has
put in 300 acres of rye for itself, be-
sides contracting with other parties to
grow about 1000 acres of the same
cereal. If this industry succeeds as ap-
pears to be certain now, extensions will
be made and other lines of paper manu-
factured.

LIVELY AGAIN.
A Big Rush Of Business ut the Rail.
road DepOts.

road DepOts.
1t was stated at the Southern Pacific
depot yesterday that the freight business
has been picking up at a remarkable rate
of late. On Thursday night there was
more freight received than at any time
during the past three months, and the
result was that extra men had to be put
to work yesterday. The yard force was
reduced some time ago owing to the
slackness of business, but during the
past two weeks they have had all they can
handle and yesterday an application was
sent in for another yard engine, which
was at once run out and went to work at
noon. At the freighthouse Agent Seylor
had as much as he could do to handle the
rush, and il looks as if the big working
staff that was needed last year will have
to be put on again. From rs to $50 car
loads of freight are received daily for use
in Los Angeles, in addition 20 which a
lot of overland freight has to be handled
The receipts are of merchandise of every
description, and the quantities of stone,
lime and granite that pour in show what a
large quantity of building is going on in
the city. Local freight travel is equally
good and the officials in charge here are
jubilant at the prospects. The passen-
ger business is also steadily on the in
crease and that the Pullman Company
has it all can do to handle the travel is
shown by the fact that car is never
allowed to remain idle on a side-track,
and even then the equipment looks at
times as if it would prove insufficient.
The Cotton flyer has proved a great sue
cess and quite number of business
men travel daily by it to and from this
city.
The Santa Fe is not left behind by
any means. The company is doing
probably the biggest west-bound busi-
ness on its records and the freight re-
ceipts show steady improvement.
