THE BANTA CASE.
Pierce Tells HIS Tale of the Trus,
Deed.

Yesterday morning Mrs Pierce was
held long time on the stand in the case
pending concerning the will of the late
Isaac Banta, of Pasadena. The strain OF
testimony developed was very much like
that published in the HERALD yesterday
morning. 1t detailed the chickering's,
ordinations and recriminations between
her father and mother. "You are a
liar"-sometimes with big bundle
of profanity attached to the
substantive, seem to have been used as
common terms of endearment between
those two agreeable people. Further
details OF Mrs. Pierce's testimony are
omitted in order to give some of that
given by her husband during the
afternoon. The witness, William Pierce,
is married to Banta's eldest daughter.
TIE trust deed is made in favor of Mrs.
Pierce, and the allegation of the plaint-
ifs is that the Pierces exercised too much
influence over Banta when he made that
instrument. 1t is to the testimony con-
nected with the making of this paper
that attention will be drawn here. After
detailing all his history in connection
with the Bantas, Pierce came down to
the date of the making of the deed. He
told of the trouble between the two old
people, and finally came to the most
interesting point of the whole trial. He
said
Father Banta wanted to be rear US
so that could take care of his business.
He said he wanted to have things
settled, and he wanted to give Lou a
good slice-$50, 900 is, l think, what he
named.
81 went twice to Mr.. Scott's office to
get the papers made out.
eyes; Mr.. Banta asked me before
this to see an attorney about it. 1t was
a few days before | saw Mr.. Scott.
"Some one told me Stephen M. White
would be good lawyer to see."
Mr.. White was examining the witness,
who, after this, used in speaking of him
the second personal pronoun "you."
Continuing he said:
81 went to see you and you were busy.
l made an appointment to see you some
other time. | told father Banta of this,
and he said: l want man | can get
within gunshot Of Then l went to see
Scott.
"No, sir; Mr.. Banta was not drinking
at this time. He said he wanted to be
perfectly sober while this business was
going on.

he had been drinking l would have

"We talked to Mr.. Scott the frat day
we came to town.
"That night we staid at the corner of
First street and Los Angeles street.
"We went to the st. Elmo, and all the
rooms were full. We went to the st
Charles and to the Grand Central, and
could not get room at any of them.

the defendants made use of their own names

evidently designed to initiate the Hostetter

Hotel del Cnrnnahn.

That the semi-monthly excursions to this
charming resort are steadily growing in favor
with the public is proven by the fact that
though business generally is quiet, and com
paratively few Eastern visitors coming to the
Pacific Coast at this season of the year. our ex-
cursions are still exceedingly well patronized,
many repeating their visits to the Hotel del
Coronado, and each time with renewed delight
and satisfaction. The excursion of next Satur-
day will be no exception to this rule, but will,
we have no doubt, carry numerous aud
merry party of pleasure seekers, bound for a

always to be found at Coronado. See ad. for

"Yhite Slavery"
Do,4,-, HfTolo

To talk about white slavery in this country,
and to liken the condition of the workingmen to
the negro slaves before emancipation, is to speak
falsely to bear false witness and to insult SLAM
der and degrade the vast majority of American
citizens = New York Sun.
And yet we seem to remember that only
few months ago the SUI published a
series of articles which bore the heading
of s'The White Slaves OF New York -
and described the condition Of poor sew
ing women of the metropolis in a way
that made their condition seem worse in
many respects than that OF the slave
women before the war.
Negro slavery was a bad and brutal
thing, but at least the slaves ordinarily
had plentiful supply Of the bare neoes-
saries of life, such as food, clothing and
shelter. Self-interest and the law, if no
higher motives, compelled the master to
see to that. But according 70 the Sun s
own accounts, some of the poor sewing
women of New York, and hard working
ones, too. do net have these bare neces-
saries. They are at the mercy of
''sweaters and landlords agents as
much as the slaves were at the mercy of
their masters. Is there not then some
truth in the talk aboat Fwhite slavery?'

large number of prize fights to equal

a PROFITABLE CRoP.

From the crop statistics of Tarrant
county prepared for Commissioner Foster
it is learned that this county planted only
twenty and three-quarter acres in Irish
potatoes last year, and raised therefrom
27S9 bushels, valued at $1,000. This
beats cotton and wheat, and the
farmers of Tarrant should plant
more Irish potatoes. According to
this report, Irish potatoes in Tar
rant even yield greater profit than
the famous bean crop of the county; of
beans we planted only one-half acre,
aud raised twenty bushels valued at
$50; this is $50 an acre, while our twenty
and three-quarter acres of Irish pota-
toes yielded over one hundred dollars an
acre.
Let us have an Irish potato boom in
Tarrant, and bean boomlet.

BIr. Carnegle's philanthropy.
New York Star.

One of Mr.. Carnegie s mills has been
for some months a non union concern,
and he has now set out to break up the
power of the AmalGamated iron and steel
workers in the Homestead works. The
natural inference is that IL successful he
and his partners viii pursue the same
policy with his other companies, so that
the Homestead workers are fighting the
battles of their fellow workers as well as
their own.
The bitterness with which employers as
well as employees have entered upon this
fight indicates that it viii be severe and
stubborn. There VIII be sickness, suffer-
ing, and perhaps. death from want, in
Homestead before the factory whistle
blows again. The outlook naturally sug-
gests two questions: Who is to blame for
all this! Could not the trouble have been
avoided? The answer to the first is, Mr..
Carnegie, because he determined to re-
duce the wages of his men, although
none Of his rivals in business had taken
this step; and to the second, Yes, II Mr..
Carnegie chose.
Carnegie, Phipps s Co. or, more ac-
curateiy speaking, Mr. Caruegie-for he
controls the firm-cIaim that the reduc-
ton was necessary. Only experts in the
business of manufacturing steel can tell
certainly whether it was or not; but the
weight of testimony at least is against the
concern, because their rivals still pay
union wages. But eyen assuming, from a
strictly business point of view, that such a
step was justlfable, ought Mr. Carnegie
to have taken it? He>bas put himself on
record as believer in the theory that
rich man who leaves a great fortune be-
hind does wrong. If so, what does Mr..
Carnegie expect to do with his fortune?
He is now planning to build great mu-
sic hall here. What claim has New York
upon him? Would it not be more just
for him to take the money he will spend
in this way AID devote Il to lettering the
condition of his men?
That philanthropy is the best which
benefts the most men permanently.
