TAR AND FEATHERS.
They Made Gus Bremen a Bird at
San PEDRO.

They Made Gus Bremen a Btrd at
San PEDRO.
All San Pedro was in Los Angeles yes
terday, and the rendezvous was around
the rooms of Department 6 OF the Su-
perior Court, where Judge Mckinley was
trying H. Hendrickson. This is one of
seven men who stand indicted for the
same offense. They wish to be tried
separately by jury. Gus Bremen, a
young German of perhaps 80 summers
is the complaining witness. 1t appears
that last April Bremen was playing in
the role of the Gay Lothario at the har-
Dor town OF the Semi-tropics. He does
not look like masher, or lady-killer,
but love is reputed to be blind, and
cuts up strange antics at times But
whste yer Bremen looks like, he
is reputed to have acted and talked like
most dangerous rake a terror to women.
In an evil moment he took lightly on his
tongue, so the story goes, the name of
one of San Pedro's matrons, and boasted
of the privileges he enjoyed. The good
people of San Pedro did not believe in
the boasts made by Bremen, and
resented his vaporings at the expense of
married woman. So, as the allegation
in the case on trial goes, on the night of
April 21st last, party of men called on
Gus Bremen at his place Of abode, and
induced him to go with them, ostensibly
to go down in the town. Getting him
away from the house, the party
proceeded to take the tailor made
suit off of Bremen, and to replace it
with coat of properly prepared tar and
feathers. He was then gagged, tied to a
post, and left to chew the cud Of bitter
disappointment. The allegation is that
R. g. Brown, Thomas Thompson, j. T.
Hagan, II. Her Erickson, W. Watts, T.
Willhide and John Herman are the per-
sons who thus made bird of the festive
Bremen. 1t looks as If it would take
some time to complete the affair.

Clothing Wanted.

The Ladies' Benevolent Society, Mrs.
Ducommun, President, is greatly in need
of clothing for men, women and children.
The calls are increasing daily and the
society feels sure that if its wants were
known there are many who would gladly
send such articles of clothing that they
are tired of and have laid aside as would
be of great benefit to those less fortunate
and who are obliged to accept charity.
Very few people outside the actual work
ers in charity organizations have any
knowledge of the distress to be found.
Donations may be sent to Mrs. Charnock,
456 South Los Angeles street, or they will
be sent for if word is sent to the same
address, or to Mrs. Hattie @. Bath, 4OS
South Hill street.

The West-Enders.

The regular weekly meeting of the
West. End Board of Trade was held We'd
nesday evening at the corner of Temple
and Metcalf streets with large number
of members present.
The Committee on Fire and Water
matters reported having visited the
officials of the Citizens Water Company
and laying the grievances of the district
before them under a number of heads.
When that of excessive charges was
mentioned, the reply was made that the
ordinance fixing rates was not binding,
and hence the company could fix
charges as they saw fit. The reply to
the rest of the grievances seemed
to simmer down to the fact that
the company did not have sufficient

The Chicken Business.

A complaint was filed in Justice
savage's Court Wednesday by John D.
Sanford charging man named E. H.
Brown with grand larceny. He alleged
that on the 21st of May last, Brown
came to his residence driving team
which he claimed was his own, but
which was afterwards found to belong to
truck company, and asserting that he
was Brown the chicken expert" built
up such a glorious prospect of the wealth
to be accumulated by the sale of chickens
picked up at snap bargains in the
country that he succeeded in obtaining
$50 from Sanford with which to purchase
an installment. After putting up his
team in a livery stable, Brown went
away and from that day to this, Sanford
has never seen his self.constituted
partner or any of the profits which he
expected from his venture in the chichen
business.

utilized. Modern science teaches that
of heavy rains there will be surplus,
which would have to be disposed OF.
There are, perhaps, thirty days in the
year, distributed over four months in
the winter, when there will be neces-
sity Of running the sewage away. do
not know perfectly about using the river
bed for this purpose; but l do know that
l will vote against the Bsllona route,
and that l will use all my influence to
defeat it.
L. c. GOODWIN.
L. G. Goodwin was in the bank. lie
said: 1t is not necesssry-there is no
urgent need at this time to spend 30
much money for this purpose. There is
little or no surplus water running to
waste from the sewers now at any time oil
the year. l was talking yesterday to one
of the officers of the Southside Irrigation
Company, who are now taking the sew
age. They say they have no difficulty
in handling it at this time. They are
glad to get it.. In wet weather it can
run into the river-bed and do no one any
injury.
Several persons were seen who did not
care to appear in the papers. Most Of
them are people either opposed to sewer
ing the city at all at this time, personf
who are opposed to the selected route
persons who fear that after the bonds are
voted an injunction suit will tie the mat
ter up for some years, or persons who
would prefer to wait until after the next
municipal election before voting the
bonds. These citizens will talk in conf
dence to a reporter, but do not care to
appear in print as holding or expressing
such views.
Major E. W. Jones, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, was strongly in
favor of voting the bonds on the scheme
as at present proposed. 1t may not be
the best imaginable, said he, but is the
most available at the present time, anc
if it fails 1 am afraid it will give the
undertaking a bad setback. The city
needs to have the work done, and there
are plenty of laborers here who need the
chance to work. 1t will be very un
fortunate if the thing falls through.

PUBLIC WORKS.
improvements of Several streets
Contemplated.

/" PEOv UA cSeCA"h VVSs
Contemplated.
The Board of Public Works went on
its usual tour of inspection yesterday
afternoon to look after the various i'm
provements suggested by citizens in the
several sections. The first place visited
was Fourth street, between Main and
Los Angeles, which has not been graded.
Fourth street, below Los Angeles, has
been nicely graded and is in good con-
dition, but in order to reach the good
part of the road block of dusty and I'M
even surface has to be traversed. The
board will probably order this block
graded at its session today.
The opening of Wall street, between
Second and Third streets, was next in
vestigated, and it was informally decided
to recommend that the district of assess
ment be both sides of Wall street, be.
tween Second and Fifth streets.
The necessity of opening Second street
to the public by the removing of an OBJ.
struction at Los Angeles street was made
very apparent, upon investigation, and
it WAS decided to make the district of as
sessment on both sides of Second street,
pObWCCh Aoli DtACOb hAo kOhhbo l. uf0-
nue..
East Los angeles was next visited and
the proposed extension of Hof street,
between Pasadena avenue and Griffin
avenue was examined. There were
found to be no streets crossing for some
distance on either side, and it was de-
cided to recommend that the ordinance
be drawn up fixing district of assess
ment large enough to make the cost very
light upon all concerned.
A drive was taken along Griffin ave-
nue., which it is proposed to make into a
boulevard to Pasadena. The avenue is
graded for considerable distance now,
but it is of uneven widths. 1t is pro-
posed to make it eighty feet wide, and to
arrange the grade so that it will be easy
enough to make q pleasant drive. II
this is done, and connection made with
road to Pasadena, it will make a much
better drive than the one which has
been proposed heretofore. 1t avoids all
railroad tracks and overlooks the Arroyo
Seco and the country surrounding. The
property owners expressed themselves as
willing to make the Improvements, but
some of them desire to do the grading
themselves.
Water street, from Buena Vista street
north, is the connecting link with the
San Fernando road, and it needs grad
ing badly. The board will probably
order the work done today.
Ellis avenue has been graded with the
exception Of small piece in front of a
piece of property on the corner OF Tober-
man street. The board will order this
graded as soon as the present grading
has been accepted.
The board will also order a small
piece of Flower street, below Pine street,
graded.
The meeting Of the board will take
place at half-past o'clock today.

Yesterday afternoon, little girl who
lives at the Berke Mansion, corner of
Second street and Bunker Hill avenue,
while playing in the new house being
erected for w. NJ. Connor on Grand ave.
nue., fell from the second story to the
ground. She struck on the back of her
head and suffered severe injuries.

amount of water to supply the district
which it's mains cover. The committee
was instructed to go before the Fire Com
missioners and inform them of the danger
to property from the lack of water and
ask them to take the matter in hand.
Mr.. Baker, resident of the West End
and an expert on the development of
water, was asked to address the board
the development OF subterrsneous sup.
ply, and gave lengthy explanation Of
his investigations, and his faith
in the fact thaS the purest of
water and sufficient quantity to
supply 100000 people can be de-
veloped within the city limits.

Reef Sugar.

The result of tue assay recently made
of the samples of the beet grown in this
county does not appear to have been
very satisfactory. OF the half-dozen
samples sent to the Chamber of Com
merce and turned over to the Spreckels
factory for experiment, not one meets
the requirements. The minimum per
cent. of saccharine matter which is need
ed to insure success in the manufacture Of
sugar is IA. The highest per cent. reached
by any of the samples assayed was
IL from the beets grown at Senator
Coles ranch at Cahuenga. The speci-
mems grown on the Lankershim ranch
and those in the Glendale District as
sayed 101a per cent. Those grown at
Verdugo we're too young for successful
handling, and they yielded 81 per cent.
Those from the Nsdeau ranch we're gath
cred too late. They assayed 9 per cent.
The effort to secure satisfactory samples
will be repeated later on.

The shops of Cuha,s Canisal.

Tho shops and cafes of Havana are
surely more bright and interesting than
those of any other city. Among the shops
you will find no great establishments COW
ering a half acre of ground, half a dozen
stories high, and giving one feeling of
despair to enter; but they are all on one
floor, high, cool, pretty, and many ladies
have habit of shopping from their car
riages, to which the pleasant clerks OF
chivalrous proprietors bring for inspection
and purchase any article desired.
In America It is the endless effort of
merchants to get goods of every possible
description under one roof. Here, the
shops as q rule are 1ICre characteristic
and individualized. Che merchant deals
in silks and trimmings; another only in
velvets and velveteens; another may show
superb lines of linen; another sells cot
tons and prints alone; woolens can be
found only at the merchant in woods; all
manner of laces occupy the attention Of
others, and rarely win you find the
general notion stOlA 50 common with us.
So, TOO, outside of The textile fabrics these
divisions are vigorously observed. A
photographer is not ''an artist" bronze
goods do not include pottery; the ieweler
sells jewelry, not watches and clocks;
the woodenware, ironware and basket
ware merchants are not each all the
others, and wine merchants do not sell

Remittances From Postmasters.

OF the 5000 postmasters who make
their settlements with the government
through the St. Louis sub-treasury, quite
number make their remittances in a novel
way. Some send the money sewed up in
little tobacco bags, some lay it down fat
on q cloth, put another piece of cloth on
top Of it and then stitch all around the
money. Others spread mucilage on piece
of paper, lay the coin fiat on the sticky
surface, and with another piece of paper
on for a cover the money is shipped in
that way. ] don't know why they are so
particular, unless they imagine the pack
ages to be insecure. Some send the money
in cigar boxes, and there are several other
sorts Of packages that are just as odd.
The nickels, ten cent pieces, etc, are
separated by some in different packages,
as if they were afraid that the big pieces
might swallow the little ones if they were
put together. Some collect ali the pennies
they c&A get, and we often get So or 81
in pennies frem one postmaster. OF
coure the pennies come handy to supply
our local demand for them. Last srm-
mer we were short of pennies, but we
have quite supply of them now. Oc-
castOnally we get mutilated money. We
send back mutilated nickels and dimes,
but it is not worth while to return the
pennies, for they pass.-Assistant Treas
