Quick Firing Guns.

The long account which the Standard
London) gives of the new quick firing
Elswick guns fitted TO the Italian cruiser
Piemonte is rather uncomfortable read
ing 1t suggests plainly enough-what
we know to be the opinion of many naval
experts-that another revolution IN naval
architecture and naval sTmdments is in
progress. Just as we have brought the
art of mounting monster guns in huge
floating batteries to within some distance
of perfection, we discover that monster
guns may after all have to be superseded.
Instead of throwing one huge shot aud
she'll every two minutes or so, the warshil
of the future may strive to overwhelm it'
opponent by concentrating upon 1t ire
mendously rapid fire from weapons OF
comparatively small calibrei and TO at
tain this result it may be necessary to DIS
card turrets and barbettes, and even al
armor of abnormal thickness, We mal

At Canton the Chinese Government
lately established outside the east side
gate two sets of machinery purchased
abroad, one for miuting copper cash and
the other for minting silver coins. The
Viceroy Chang Chi-Tung, however, after
mature deliberation, has, it is said, come
to the conclusion that both these enter
prises are impracticable, the making of
copper money on account of the expense,
and that of silver money on account of
the small probability there is of such a
new silver coinage being acceptable to
the Chinese.

From the British board of trade returns
it appears that every few days through,
out the year a vessel carrying the British
dag leaves port never more to be heard
Of. In the year ending June, 1888, the
number of vessels under the British flag
to which accidents happened of various
kinds was 7724, involving the loss of
1884 lives. This is melancholy record,
but is less than the average for ten years
of about fifty lives. There were 906
total losses, of which nearly one third are
reported as missing.

The historr Of connecticut Is rem

The history of Connecticut is remarka-
blefor the number of villages that have
fourished for a generation or two only to
at last fall into decay and finally disap-
pear altogether. This the New York
Sun regards as particularly true in those
sections Of the State where agriculture is
pursued under discouaging circumstances.

Instructions issued by the War Office in
Vienna, the best breeds for warlike occu-
pations are pointers, sheep dogs and

Window Attractions.

David Crawford, show window dresser,
says in the Chicago Tribune: l have
been engaged in dressing show windows
for fifteen years. 1t is business within
itself. A man to be a success in it ought
to be a good Judge of how to blend colors.
l have tossed about in bed many night
wondering what would make the best at
traction. In my opinion the best at
traction ever put into window is some
sort of machinery. Every man and
woman is a sort of natural mechanic.
People will block up sidewalk to gaze
at some diminutive mechanical operation
in window where they wouldn't look at
a window of the costliest fabrics and the
most precious stones. Since electricity
has become so general it is easy to put
some sort of mechanical contrivance into
operation in a window. There is bar
Der ON Dearborn street who gets up con-
trivances with a jackknife and pair of
scissors. He is always tinkering with
something of the kind when he isn't at
work in his chair. If you are around on
Dearborn street any time you will see a
crowd of men, women and children hover
ing about the barber's window, attracted
there by some contrivance that is being
worked by that silent motor-electricity.
stood opposite that window thirty min
utes the other day and counted the num-
ber of people who stopped and looked at
a couple of pasteboard blacksmiths that
were being worked by electricity. 1
counted sixty-four. That will give you
some idea of the popularity of machinery.
If you go to the exposition you will find
the crowds in Mechanics Hall. went
over to st. Joe, Mich, on boat not loag
ago, and noticed that the crowd lowered
about the engins-room like children.

EVERYBODY LOVED HIM."

Far better than the craven stone,
The sculptured urn, the column tall,
These words they said
Above the dead,
HE loved and was beloved by allr'
By some rare grace that he possessed
From life's beginning to It's end,
All hearts he won,
Nor looked upon
A stranger but TO find friend.
Ah, well it were TO live and die,
whatever heights Of fame we miss,
To win from lips
At life's eclipse,
So sweet an epitaph as this.
Far better than the craven stone,
The sculptured urn, or column tall,
To have it said
When we are dead,

The novelists, reporters and Others
who write Indian speeches, beginning
with the words; ~ am the last of my
race, the red man is vanishing before the
white man as the leaves, etc, had better
look up the facts. 1t now seems that
any statement to the effect that the num-
Der Of our Indian population is slowly
deoreasing, is not in accord with the
truth. According to the Boston Adoer-
tiser the Indian is not dying off and
vauiphing from the earth, any more than
the Caucasian is. They have, for the
most part, adopted semi-civilized habits
ard live quiet lives. They are increasing
rather than decreasing. In the quiet,
orderly communities of the Indian Ter
ritory, in the reservations of Dakota and
in the pueblos of New Mexico and
Arizona, the Indian is enoamped peace
fuzzy, and his children are being edu-
Gated He is fairly prosperous, provided

The London Times says that in view of
the amount of English capital invested
in the Sandwich Islands, England could
not see them pass into the hands Of any
foreign power with indifference, but that
their acquisition, by the United States
would be regarded with more equanimity
than their spoliation by any European
power, to which the British Government
would mover submit.

THE NEVER ENDING HARVEST.

remember when a child that I
Would sometimes stand and stare
At aged persons passing by,
With snowy, silvered hair.
An inner voice my reason told,
They had not long to stay; z
sighed to think that soon the old
Would all be lain away.
The SHOWS of sixty winters rest
Upon my furrowed brow;
The sun, low sinking in the west,
Is almost setting now;
But yet the sere and yellow leaves
Are bout me everywhere,
And deaths still garnering his sheaves
OF ripened, silver hair.

What Love Does.

An odd poem begins;
Love in my bosom, like bee,
Doth suck his sweete
Now with his wings he plays with mei
Now with his feete.

might better read;
Love in my bosom, like bee,
Doth never quail;
Not with his wings he stings-not he;
But with his tail

More Demand for Realty.

Yesterday Mr.. l. S. Sherman sold an
alfalfa ranch at Compton, receiving
$4,000 for eighty acres, or at the rate
of $3.50 an acre. Mr.. Sherman has been
offering this ranch for long time, but
has failed to sell until now. He there
fore regards himself as fortunate to make
the trade. He may regard it in this
light, but if the land be good for alfalfa
culture, the buyer is the lucky man by
all odds. Prime alfalfa land is cheap at
any price under round $500 an acre.
Mr.. A. Francisco day or two ago
made clean sale of prettily improved
place on Flower or Hope street, near
Seventh. He has had the property on
his books for two years, it having been
given him at the height of the boom,
when the crest of the wave was curling
into foam. The price set on it was
$500. No one thought it cheap enough
to touch at that figure. He sold it this
week for $5 5000, all cash. Mr.. Francisco
has number of eastern people on the
string quietly looking around for bar
gains, and they are picking up some
now and then.

Mr.. Browne, of Pomona, thought that
the discussion was desultory, and that
the question of whether there should be
Southern California on Wheels
should be settled before the convention
went any further.
MIR. Wells moved that special COM
mittee Of five be appointed on finance, to
report at the next meeting to be called
by the Executive Committee.
The motion was carried, and G. N.
Wells, Of Los Angeles, Mr.. Browne, oi
Pomona, Mr.. H. j. Vail, of Pasadena a
Mr.. Holmes, of Riverside, and Mr.
Bundy, of Santa Ana, were appointed
the committee, with Douglass Gum, o
San Diego, member e1-oficio.
A motion was then put and carried
that the Executive Committee be in.
structed to 60 ahead and prepare an ex.
hibit for the Chicago Exposition, to be
started on its way as soon as practicable
It was also decided to put "Southern
California on Wheels" in motion by the
first OF the year.
The convention then adjourned and
the Executive Committee went into ses.
sion. There was good deal OF discus
sion as to the Craftsmanship and Secre.
taryship, which Mr.. Gum and Mr.. Holt
thought should be located in Los An.
geles. 1t was decided that committee
OF three Los Angeles gentlemen be ap.
pointed by the chair in consultation
with President Jones of the Chamber oi
Commerce, to arrange for the exhibit in
Chicago.
G. M. Wells suggested that the most
important element in the matter was
the financial question. Chairman Gum
announced that the San Diego Chamber
would stand $50 to SIS month, and
Major Jones offered $75 to 500 for the
Los Angeles Chamber, A Pasadena
delegate, said that that city would pay
it's share, and Santa Ana, Pomona and
San Bernardino made similar offers. II
was moved and carried that the appor-
tionment OF the expenses be left to the
Finance Committee of the Executive
Committee.
1t was moved and carried that the per-
manent officers Of the organization be
made Committee on Correspondence.
Mr.. Fuller suggested that the exhibit
might be transferred from Chicago to st.
Lonis when the Exposition at the former
city closed.
A communication was read from A. J
Newton, A. S. Gibson and l.. N. Gibson
offering to accompany the exhibit cal
and assist in all the work, without any
charge for their services. 1t was placed
on file after some discussion.
The committee then adjourned, subject
to the call of the chair.

mrs. steenburg Gets Judgment.


For two days past, in the superior

Mrs. Maggie Steenburg sues local banl

the second trial of the case, and in both
the plaintiff has obtained judgmen
Mrs. Steenburg's husband was jswelel
in this city, and the couple were divorced
several years ago. The check was drawn
about that time, and Mrs. Steenburg sus-
poets that her husband is the forger.
The check was for small sum, the
judgment being for $3.50.
A queer incident in the trial on Friday
was that two bank cashiers were called
in as experts to decide as to the hand
writing. During recess Mrs. Steenburg'a
attorney obtained as many as eight sig
natures counterfeiting the handwriting
of Mrs. Stsenburg, one of her own gen.
uine signatures being of the number.

fortunate in this respect, for instead Of
coming in here among strangers they

The Great insurance Cinchers.

"A COutCAlpoidIy, WulCA appears LO
occupy the attitude of an apologist for the
insurance compact, says editorially: sit
is conceded that the present scale of pre-
miums is sufficient to afford fair profit
on ordinary business" This is certainly
not over-stating the case, in view of what
everybody knows about the shameless
exactions and impositions of the insur-
ance ring. To afford fair profit? Was
it out of fair profit that the compact was
enabled to raise corruption fund of
$4,000 and send it to Sacramento to de-
bauch the Legislature of 1887? Was it
out of fair profit that the expenses of
lobbyist were paid at the Legislature of
1889, and the wine bills met for dinners
given to country members? Was it out of
a fair profit that the Mutual Insurance
bill was beaten, though the whole
State of California was clsmorous for it's
passage? Is it out of fair profits that
commissions of Is, 20 and even 40 per cent
are paid to insurance solicitors, in addi-
ton to enormous salaries for insurance
officials?
Some time people will come to see that
insurance as carried on by the compact
companies is the greatest fraud and hum
bug of the age. They will awake to the
fact that they pay exorbitant premiums,
year after year, and that all they get for
their money in case of fire is the valu-
able services of an adjuster, and very
likely a long and expensive litigation
with an insurance company. They will
see how silly they have been, and when
they realize that fact, insurance will be
reorganized on sensible and equitable
basis.-[San Francisco Chronicle.

The dual operation of digestion and assimi-

Delicate Surgical Operation.

The Youngstown Telegram, gives an
account efa- surgical operation at, the
hospital in that city of a most delicate
and difficult character for cancer of the
tongue The lady operated upon was
65 years old and DR.. Will Buechner per-
formed the operation. The Telegram,
says: Sturgeon Buechner made an in
cision and cut from the corner of the
mouth to the edge of the jaw, then back
under the ear, then half way down to
the collar bone. This exposed the jaw
bone which it was necessary to saw in
two. The cancer was then dissected.-
1t was also necessary to lay bare the
jugular vein, and carotid artery a dis
tance of an inch and half. The can
Ger was adhered to the iugular vein,
and it required the most delicate work
and skilled hand to successfully re-
move it. .Itrequired one hour and ten
minutes to perform the operation.
