A STEAMER STORY.
Claus Spreckels Says the White
House Offer Was a Joke.

House Offer Was a Joke.
Some time ago the story was tele-
graphed all over the country that Claus
Spreckels had said that he could make
sugar in blocks as solid and as durable
as marble, and that when the White
House was rebuilt he would like the con-
tract to make the walls of this substance.
The statement was widely commented
upon at the time.
Friday evening, in his conference with
the citizens who met him at the Nadeau
to talk about sugar factory, Mr..
Spreckels was asked about this state
ment.
"That was steamer story" said he,
laughing. Zone day On my last trip back
from Europe number of us were seated
together in the cabin talking on all sorts of
subjects. Some one brought up the
matter of the rebuilding OF the White
House, and we began to discuss what
stone it should be built of. Merely as q
joke l suggested sugar, and went on to
describe how it might be done. did
not imagine that any of them thought
me in earnest, and I was much aston
ished when got to Philadelphia to dis
cover long dispatch in one of the papers
saying that had made an offer to build
the White House of sugar."

CORONER's INQUEST.
A Brakeman Dies from Injuries he



ceived.
Coroner Meredith held an inquest at
Duafte yesterday morning upon the body
of Edward Everett Pixley, brakeman,
who died at that place from injuries re-
ceived by being run over on Friday even
ing by passenger train of the California
Southern Railroad Company. From the
testimony of the three witnesses exam
ined, i was learned that Pixley was en-
ployed as baggageman on train
No. So until its arrival at Du-
arte, where he assumed the ex-
ira duties of brakeman. On Friday
evening as the train was being side
tracked, he, as usual, stood upon the
platform of the baggage car and at
tempted to unfasten the bell-cord which
connected the cars with the engine. By
some means or other there was an I'M
usual strain upon the rope and Pixley
leaned upon it to slacken it UP, when it
parted and he fell between the cars. As
he did 80 he made an effort to spring
clear Of the track, but fell to the ground
with his left leg across the rails. His
shrieks attracted the attention of Bill
Fleming, the fireman of the locomotive,
and w. H. Johnston, the conductor OF
the train, both of whom ran to where
Pixley lay, in terrible agony. Drs. Wing
and Ross were telegraphed for and went
down to Dusrte on Friday night to
smputate the injured limb; but the pa
tent died aoon after their arrival. He
made statement before his death, how
ever, generating his fellow train men.
The jury, on hearing the facts as above
stated, returned verdict of accidental
death. The deceased was q native of
Ohio, 80 years of age, and leaves
widow and two children to mourn his
loss.

A Pertinent Point of Many citizens.
EDITORS HERALD.-Our people have
been stared by the airy way in which
the City Council, whenever it takes a
notion, de6es the plain mandatory pro-
visions of the law. Its point-blank re-
fnsal to deposit the city moneys, as COM
responsible RESPONSE bidder Whereby here W Is the
Mayor asserts, from $500 to $40, 900 q
year interest is thrown away, in order
that banks with which Councilmen are
connected, or are friendly to, may be
benefited, is rather very grave matter
from every point of view; it works a
great pecuniary loss to the city or to the
payers; it carries with it strong
flavor OF corruption; but worst of all, it
is q bold, open defiance of law. Is not
the case 30 fragrant that the Grand Jury
must take notice Of it? This is the ques-
ton that is being asked by
MANY CrTIANs.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-10-13

The jury in the See case, after being
out twenty-four hours and still being un-
able to arrive at an agreement, were
locked up again last night. They came
in yesterday and stated that they stood
s to 4, having been to 8, but one more
had changed his mind. The other jury
stood for acquittal and for conviction,
and it is stated this one was for acquit-
tai yesterday. 1t is rather strange that a
man in a murder case should change
from the innocent to the guilty side. A
disagreement in the present instance is
likely to result in a dismissal of the case,
and it is difficult to see how the jury can
aOrnA now.

That one weeks further time be

elevator at night.
That the City Clerk inform the Park
Commission that it has only 81, O02 to
spend in November.

A Burglary.

Early yesterday morning blacksmith
shop on the corner of Truman and Ala.
rAada streets, was broken into and a
number of tools were stolen. The
burglars had evidently planned this raid
for the purpose of obtaining drills, steel
punches and chisels which they had
seen there and which they can use in
their business. They broke the lock on
the door in getting in and woke up a
man next door, but they managed to get
away without being recognized. The
police think that the burglars will at
tempt to use the tools on some safe and
are on the watch for some such affair.

The Clearing House

The following is a statement of the
business of the Clearing House during
the week.
, 1889-02-10

Jonathan admires all that g%litters, even
that which is not gold. In his eyes the sue
cess OF a thing answers for its quality, and
the charlatanlsn that succeeds is superior to
tho merit that vegetables. Tho dollar is not
only the unit OF tho monetary system; 1T is
also tho unit Of the metrical system.
was chatting one day with an American
about the famous Col. Robert Ingersoll.
"He Is your greatest orator, | am told" /
said.
Eyes" he replied, ''Ingerson can fill the
Metropolitan opera house any day, and have
five thousand dollars in the house,
Certainly that is a curious way to speak
Of a great orator, n great writer and n great
thinker.
need not say that | am now speaking Of
tho average American, not tho litterateur or
the man of good society.

saw, in an American paper, the appear
ance of Miss Mimic Palmer spoken Of in tho
following terms;
minnie Palmer will wear all her diamonds
In the third net"
The booking Office was besieged all day,
and, in the evening, money was refused. An
amusing detail was the arrival of a good
fourth Of tho audience at 10 o'clock, to see
the diamonds in the third act.

when John" Took to washing.

There are no l~aundrymen in China.
No linen is worn there. The rich use
silk and wooden undergarments, and
the poor wear wooden or cotton. AS
starching and ironing are unknown,
the female servants do all the laundry
work. Tho reason of the great num-
Der of laundrymen here is that when
the Union Pacific railroad threw hun
dreds of Cinnamon out of employment
they cast about for something to do,
and as there was a great demand for
washerwomen, and a scant supply of
them in the west, the Monaghan
turned his attention to her trade. He
learned it s. quickly and so well that
no stuck to it, and made SO much
money that tho calling o became
popular. Gradually the laundrymen
came east, and no city, and now few
villages Of any size in the whole coun-
try, are without a Chinese laundry
San Francisco Call.
, 1889-02-10
VI

Man has been ~perpetuated to expiate tho
transgression of his first parent by hard labor.
Jonathan is a proof of it. He labors, he tolls,
and the sweat of his brow crystallizes upon tho
arms and neck of his beloved womankind in
tho form Of diamonds.
To tho American woman the diamond Is
not an object Of luxury, it is an object of
prime necessity. An English old maid would
do without her tea before an American
woman would go without diamonds.
If good style consists in not doing what the
vulgar do, good style in America ought to
consist for one thing in wearing no diamonds
unless democracy should demand this sign
of equality
When you 500 diamonds in tho cars Of shop
girls aud factory girls, they are sham gems
bought with well earne1 money. or real ones
bought with bully earned money.
Love Of woman, innate in the American, is
not enough in itself to explain the luxury
that man lavishes on her in the United
States America is not the only country
where mar is devoted to woman and ready to
satisfy all her caprices. The Frenchman Is
as kcenly alive to her influence as the Ameri-
can, II not more.
Tho luxury of the American women must
DO explained in another way.
Money is easily earned In the United States,
and is freely spent. Business savors more of
gambling than of commerce in the proper
sense of the word.
Jonathan, then, Is in a position much like
that of a man whom | saw give a hundred
franc note to a beggar one day in the streets
Of Monte Carlo. "If l win at trente-et-qua-
rante," said he to some one who asked him
how he could do such a foolish thing, "what
are a hundred francs to mel l can afford to
DO generous to a poor fellow creature out of
It; II l lose, 1t is so much that the croupiers
will not get" When Jonathan covers his
wife with diamonds, no says to himself, "If l
win, l can indulge my wife without neon
v~eniencing myself; If l lose, it is so much
saved from the fray"
This Is not all
If the American thirsts after money, 1t Is
not for the love Of money, as a rule, but
for the love of that which money can buy.
In other words, avarice Is a vice almost un-
known in America Jonathan does not
amass gold for the pleasure of adding pile to
pile and counting it BE pursues wealth to
improve his position In life and to surround
those dependent upon him with advantages
and l~uxuries. He spends his money as gayly
as he pockets II, especially when it is a ques-
ton of gratifying his wife or daughters, who
are the objects of his most assiduous atten-
tion- He Is the..frst to.admit that their lovo
for diamonds is as absurd as 1t is costly, but
he Is good humored, and says; 'Since they
like them, why should they not have themr'
