A Five-Year Old Hero.

A Carbonate special to the Philadelphia
Press says: Ralph Ball. a little fellow five years
of age, is the hero of the day in this city Yes
terday afternoon several children were playing
around an unprotected well, when Eddie Wild
ner decided to take a drink from it. As the
water rises to within a foot of the surface, the
little fellow thought he could reach it by living
on his stomach and putting his head down to
the water, but in trying this feat he lost his
balance and plunged head first into the spring,
which is over feet deep. In his fall he turned
a complete somersault, coming up head first,
but as he went down he uttered a cry that at
tracted the attention of playmate, Ralph Ball,
who Is only five years old. The latter fastened
to the place. and with precocious presence of
mind that would have deserted many an adult,
he took in the situation at glance, and seizing
the already half-drowned boy, he held his
head above the surface of the water until the
united voices of the children drew a man who
was working near by to the rescue. Eddie was
restored to his parents rather the worse for his
dangerous bath, but soon completely re-
suscltated. The prompt action of the youthful
rescurer beyond all question saved the life of

HARD ON CONSUL KNAPPE.
Bismarck Puts the Blame of the Samoan
Quarrels and MisfOrtunes on Him.

Another Samoan white Book" has Just been
issued in Berlin, obviously in view of the ap-
proaeh Of the Samoan conference. In dis
patch to Herr Stuebel. the new German consul
to Samoa, dated April is, Prince Bismarck cen
sures Consul knappe's conduct throughout the
troubles in Samoa. He dwells upon the deplor-
able fact that with an inadequate force and
without authority, urgency, or likelihood Of
success, Consul Knappe took measures on De-
cember IL which resulted in the death Of a
large number Of persons and an undesirable
change in the position of planters. besides
jeopardizing peace with America while quies-
cence would have preserved a tolerable state Of
affairs. The sanction of the other treaty
powers being lacking, he says, Consul Knappe's
demand for the control of the foreign relations
of Samoa was of no force, and compelled him
(Blsmarck) to notify Great Britain and America
OF Its withdrawal. The chancellor concludes
by declaring that Germany has nothing to do
with the internal affairs of Samoa; that her
mission is restricted to protecting Germans
and enabling them to develop commercial in
terests.
BIsMARCK's ORDER TO NAVAL COMMANDERS.
Prince Bismarck has issued an order in which
he defines the responsibilities of commanders
OF war-ships with respect to requests Of consuls
abroad. The chancellor directs commanders
to examine for themselves the legal and peliti-
cal grounds for such request, unless the consul
produces special authority from the German
foreign Office. AS the reason for this action
Prince Bismarck refers to the recent events in
Samoa, where, he says, an unauthorized re-
quest resulted in great loss of life and in injury
to German interests, and danger was thereby
incurred of Germany becoming embroiled with
a friendly nation. with no conclusive reasons
existing Tor the intervention of armed forces

Social Purity League.

The interest awakened by the mass
meetings held at different times to de-
wise ways and means for the uplifting oi
fallen humanity. and also by more pri'
vste efforts in this direction, has resulted
in the organization of society known as
the Social Purity League of Los Angeles.
The aim of the society is to give aid and
announcement to fallen women, who
desire to return to virtuous lives, and
by means of educational and legislative
work, to exert preventive power-to
guard against wicked living. A home
has been provided for those who have
erred and are repentant, and a matron
for this home has been selected. Finan'
cial aid is necessary to sustain the home,
and to carry on the other work of the
League donations will be thankfully re-
ceived. Subscriptions in money for this
organization may be left at Kilgore &
stradley's, Ill S. Spring street. Furni
ture, household goods and provisionf

donations may send their names and ad

Murder at Redlands.

The quiet town of Redlands was the
scene last Sunday morning of fatal
shooting scrape, when Manuel Robelois,
Mexican or young Indian, was shot at
five times by Pablo Yercas, halfbreed.
One shot took effect in the abdomen,
causing death in about twenty-four hours.
The wounded man returned one shot
after he was hit, but it missed its mark.
DIR. w. L. Spoor was called in to attend
the wounded man, but he could do
nothing to save the mans life. The af.
| fair evidently grew out of the jealousy
entertained by the murderer toward his
victim ,on account of his possessing the
affection of rather handsome sef1orita
romanticallo named Marguerite Vslen-
cia, who lived with another older woman
named Maria Antonia Rubideaux, at the
brick kiln ABOUT three-fourtbs of mile
from Redlands.
Pablo, last Saturday, called at the resi-
dence of his inamorsta, and finding his
rival there before him, and himself
neglected, vented his spleen by upsetting
washtubs, and kicking up muss gen.
orally. Upon being demonstrated with,
he replied in such a manner as to incur
slight chastisement, and the quarrel
eliminated in the cold-blooded murder
of Sunday morning. Cards, whisky and
women all played their parts in the
tragedy. It was, from all the evidence
adduced at the inquest held yesterday, a
most unprovoked and cold blooded MUIR
der, and when Coroner Wainwright read
the verdict of the jury, which was COM
posed of representative men of Redlands,
that the deceased came to his death at
the hands of Pablo Yercas, and accusing
the murderer of upjustifable homicide,
the large throng present expressed the
deepest satisfaction. The citizens OF
Redlands are much excited over the
occurrence, and the reporter heard many
threats muttered.-[San Bernardino

Tax Collections.

EDITORS HERALD-Replying to COM
munication in your issue of Sunday, May
26, 1889, signed Taxpayer, regarding
the payment of State and county taxes
in each Supervisorial District, instead of
having payments all made at the office
of the County Tax Collector.
1t is entirely impracticable to collect
the taxes through deputy, as suggested
by your correspondent. The Tax Col
lector has nothing whatever to do with
| the assessments as made, nor the re-
cording of the assessm snts when made.
If each Supervisorial District, or School
District, were arranged in volumes by
themselves, it would not be difficult
matter to have deputies, upon fixed
| dates, at some central point in each Of
the districts, for the receiving of taxes,
but the districts are not 80 recorded, but
are scattered throughout all the volumes,
in many instances this is the fault of the
taxpayers themselves, who being tardy
or Indifferent in furnishing the Assessor
with a correct list of their assessable
property, prevents the proper classifica-
ton, and is the main cause of so many
pieces of property being placed upon the
| assessment roll under the name OF I'm
known Owner the fact that the Assessor
must complete his assessment by July
1st, of each year, should not be lost
sight of.
1t is the intention of the present Tax
Collector to do everything possible
within his power to accommodate the
general public, to that end just 30 soon
as the volumes containing the assess
ments are turned over to him, he will
have his deputies make out statement
of each property-owner's taxes, giving
the description Of the property assessed
and the amount of taxes due, and mail
the same to the party 80 assessed, pro-
vided the Assessor has furnished the tax
payers address. The amount being thus
ascertained, it can be readily sent to the
Tax Collector with the statement en-
closed), either by draft to his order,
money order or express, and the receipt
for same will be forwarded by return of
mail; this will obviate the necessity of
the taxpayer incurring the expense and
loss of time mentioned.
II is the purpose OF the present Tax
Collector and his deputies to prove to
the citizens of Los Angeles county that
it is possible to place in public office
men who will study the interests of the
community and endeavor to manage a
public Office on strictly business
principles. ROBERT S. PLATT,
County Tax Collector.

FIRST-STREET VIADUCT.
A Motion TO Dissolve the lnjunc
tiOn Argued.

The case of Mrs. Bigelow against the
city was argued yesterday in Judge
Shaw's court on motion to dissolve the
injunction restraining the building of the
viaduct across the river on First street
The plaintiff in this case asked for an in
unction prohibiting the building OF the
viaduct until she should bs paid for dam.
ages which she alleged her property
will sustain by reason of the viaduct be-
ing built in front thereof. The attorneys
for the city claim that she is not entitled
to an Injunction, for the reason that the
matter of damages can be settled by q
suit for the same. The Los Angeles
Cable Company filed a complaint in inter
vention, alleging that it is being dam
aged by reason of the delay which pre-
vents the completion of its road along
First street. The motion to dissolve the
Injunction was argued at length and sub
mitted together with the many authori
ties referred to by the attorneys

A Sea Sick Passenger,

is positively Indifferent whether is washed

he feels renewed interest in his personal safety.
This fine corrective neutralizes in brackish water
often compulsorily drank on shipboard, to
the grievous detriment of health-the pernt-
cious impurities which give rise 10 disorders OF
the stomach, liver and bowels, To the mariner,

Bitters is invaluable as means of protection
