a correspondent of the London Times
says that the word "teetotal" had its
origin through a suffering temperance
orator, who urged on his hearers that
nothing less than "te.te-te total" absti-
nence would satisfy temperance reform
ers. Some one at once adopted "teeto
tai" as suitable word, and it sprang
into general use.

New YORK, October 21.-In the Gen.
eral Convention of the Episcopal church
today, Rev. DR.. Hanckel moved that the
order of the day be suspended and the
report on the memorial presented by the
colored clergy be taken up. After some
discussion the motion was lost, by a vote
OF 100 to 121.
Several amendments made by the
Bishops were concurred in. An amend
ment providing for the insertion in the
baptismal office of the bracketed clause,
Here let the child distinctly pronounce
his or her Christian name," was lost. DR..
Hart moved tnat consideration of the
proposed book of offices be postponed
until next convention. 1t went over
without action.
The House OF Bishops failed to concur
with the lower house in regard to the re-.
issuance of cheap edition of the prayer
book and hymnal com bined, as the
prayer book is still in an unfinished con-
diticn. Several committees of conference
were nominated, including one to fix a
date for final adjournment.
At the afternoon session of the house,
consideration of amendments and ad-
ditions to the prayer book was continued.
A proposed change in the marriage ser.
vice by the insertion Of an exhortation
was defeated by close vote.

Episcopal church held it's final meeting
and adjourned sine die tonight. The final
disposition of the moribund million. dol.

OTTAWA, Ont, October 21.-R. r.
Dobell, OF Quebec, has been here inter-
viewing members of the Government in
connection with the Canada Atlantic
Gable Company, of which he is the pro-
moter and protector. He reports that
every arrangement 80 far necessary has
been perfected, and that the cable is
solid fact. Work will be commenced
next year, and will be pushed forward
vigorously. The capital expenditure of
the company is estimated at 100000.
One OF the principal manufacturing COM
panies of London has rendered to pro-
vide, lay and guarantee cable Aof the
most approved type for $1,5OO,OOo. The
company's lines will thus cost one
fifth less than any of the Anglo
American cables, one-quarter less than
the direct United States Western
Union and Compagnie Francois lines,
and one-quarter less than that of the
Commercial Company connection. The
cable will extend from near Clom bay in
Ireland to Greenley island, in the strait
of Belle Isle, and be l, 300 miles long.

A Great Journalistic Achievement.

A Great Journalistic Achievement.
The Sunday Examiner, of October Goth,
is memorable journalistic achieve.
ment. 1t is clothed in the fine new
dress which the Examiner, which fully
appreciates that passage in Matthew
which says "hide not thy light under a
bushel," has announced as being under
way, with complement of twelve tons
of type, with the significant addition of
two new presses, each costing $50, 900.
The result fully justifies the expenditure.
In typographical appearance the paper is
perfect, and somewhat recalls the make
up of the New York World. For new
type and new presses the result in the
first number is remarkably mellow and
satisfactory. The size of the page is
somewhat ensmalled, and this notable
edition consists Of forty pages. We
presume that the ordinary daily issues
of the Examiner with its new makeup
will run from ten to twelve pages, and ii
will be by long odds the most metro
politan looking daily on the Coast. A
plethora of means and fine journalistic
instincts have enabled Mr.. VIM. R.
Hearst, the proprietor of the Examiner
to achieve one Of the sensational journal
istic triumphs of the age. Money with
out brains would have failed Of coming
within speaking distance Of such mag
nificent journalistic fruition. Sundays

The Awful Experience of a Ship
wrecked crew.
PHILADELPHIA, October 21.-Seven sur
vivors of the steamer Earnmoor, which
foundered at sea when 300 miles off
Turks island, arrived today. They tell
a story of terrible suffering. The Earn
moor was struck by a terrible gale Oh
September 4th, and on the following day
the vessel foundered. AS the steamer
sank the port lifeboat foated off. The
second officer, second and third engin
eers, four sailors, three fremen and
cook, clung to the boat and scrambled
in. An effort was made to save tbs rest
of the crew, but the boat was blown away
SO that no more could be saved. The
cries OF the drowning men, as they were
dashed about by the mountainous waves,
could be heard by the men in the boat.
"The horrors Of hunger on the second day
became awful" said one of the survivors,
''but we managed to pick up seaweed
which gave us little nutriment. On the
third day flying fish was caught. That
was Immediately cut up in portion for
each man, and devouyed. We also
captured sea bat and sucked it's blood
and then ate the flesh after it had dried
in the sun.
"The first man to die was seaman
and the second was the third engineer. One
night German fireman, named Flagge,
who was on watch, suddenly became in
sane and jumped overheard. Eleven
vessels passed US. One British bark we
are certain passed us, and deliberately
left us to our fate. When 800 miles off
Cape Hatteras we we're picked up by a
schooner. We were so weak that we
had to be lifted upon the vessels deck,
and one of our men, Norwegian, fell
over board and was drowned"

NLittle Lord FaunslerOyH at the
Grand Again.

"Little Lord FauntlerOy' at the
Grand Again.
Last night very good house for 30 bad
state of the streets was out at the Grand
to see Little Lord Fauntleroy on its return
here. The company is much changed
from that which played here last spring,
in some respects for the better, in others
for the worse. OF course The interest in
the play centers in the young Lord, in the
old Earl, and in the boys mother. Wal
lie Eddinger is as perfect in the child
part as ever. He is probably the best
that has ever played this very interesting
role. Miss Emma Marble, who plays
the mother, is no stranger in California.
She is a cousin of Joe. jefferson and
niece of William Warren. She was a
member of the old Mccullough stock
company at the old California Theater
in San Francisco, and afterwards of Nc
Yicker's stock company in Chicago.
She plays the part of "Mary," the do
mestic, very acceptably. Miss Rossmore
is also California lady. Her interpre-
tation of the role of "Minna" was very
clever. She is in many respects a close
student of the manners and intonations
of Jeffreys Lewis.
Little Lord Fauntleroy has a powerful
hold on the best elements of playgoers
everywhere. 1t is a credit to the heart
of the man or woman who is touched by
it's pathos and simplicity. The pretty
child idyl is powerful Interpretation of
the best emotions of humanity. 1t is
said that only a man OF high moral
nature can enjoy Wordsworth's poems.
1t is only person of pure emotions and
Of kindly instincts that can enter into
the beautiful spirit of Mrs. Burnett's
play and feel its inner meaniaes.

An Extraordinary Development.

1t was generally expected that at the
meeting of the Council yesterday bids for
taking care Of the city sewage would be
received from Col. R. 8. Baker, of the
Laguna ranch, from the representatives
OF the Nadeau vineyard, and perhaps from
other owners of large ranches outside the
city limits. The only proposition re-
ceived, however, was from the Pacific
Sewage Company. and was as follows:
First. The Pacific Sewage Company
agrees to take the sewage of Boyle
Heights and East Los Angeles, at the
corner of Sixth and Anderson streets,
convey itoutside the city limits, purchase
land and erect filter beds, for $9O,OOO
Second. Or the company will agree to
take the Boyle Heights sewage at the
south charter boundary and construct the
filter beds for $40, 900.
Third. 1t also agrees to receive all the
sewage of the city, except that Of East
Los Angeles and Boyle Heights, ct the
southwest corner of the city, and con-
struct filter beds for $6O,000.
Fourth. The company also agrees to
operate the filter beds for $1,000 per
year for the East Los Angeles and Boyle
Heights sewage, and IS 900 for the sew
age received at the southwest corner of
the city.
Fifth. Or the company, after having
received the amounts named for the con-
struction of the filter beds and pipe
lines, will sell the plant to the city for 81.
Sixth. The company will also sell its
patents to the filter beds to the city for
81, 500,
There is a good deal of wholesome
generosity to itself apparent in these
propositions of the Pacific Sewage Com
pany, at first glance. If this is the ut
most stretch of the liberality of the out
side property owners the city can safely
project an outfall sewer towards the sea,
building it in sections to be completed
in twenty years or 30, and disinfect,
deodorize and sell, it's own sewage. The
fellow who brought out Christ's fine
definition of what constitutes good
Samaritan is not making himself appar-
ent in his dealings with the city of Los
Angeles just now. Perhaps, like Mr..
Chevy Slyme, he 10 waiting around the

JAPAN ME WS.
Extent OF the Late El00dS-A Fatal
Joke.

Joke.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 21.-The
steamship Belgic arrived tonight from
Hongkong and Yokohama. Japanese
papers state that complete returns from
the one prefecture of Aichi show that 6S5
people were drowned and 121 injured
during the floods of September 11tb,
and that over one thousand houses
were swept away and a thousand acres of
crops destroyed In a review of the
calamities caused by the floods during
the year 1889, the Japan Mail says: "In.
complete returns show that twelve pre-
lectures have been devastated, 2,419
people killed, 155 wounded, and
over ninety thousand people de-
prived of the means of subsistence.
More than $4,000 houses have been
swept away or submerged, $50, 900 acres
of crops destroyed, about 5000 bridges
washed away and some hundreds of
miles of road broken up"
A FATAL PRACTICAL JOKE.
In the province of Kiangan, near a
temple, is boys school. While the
teacher was called away one day, all
the boys, except one, with the intention
OF playing a joke on the teacher, hid in
empty coffins that we're in the temple.
A boy, who was to act as sentinel. had
hardly closed down the lids over the five
boys, when the achoolmaster approached.
Answering the lstter's question the boy
said his comrades had gone to heaven,
their bodies being now in the coffins. The
teacher fearing the joke might have been
carried too far, raised the lids of the
coffins, and found in reality all five boys
had died from suffocation. The sixth
boy being now thoroughly scared,
started to run, when the teacher over.
took him and whipped him to death.
