Louis Maier, who is charged with an
assault with deadly weapon upon Mrs.
Rannan, has written a letter from the
county Jail to her, in which he pleads for
her not to leave him alone without de-
tense. He says that it would do her no
good to see him in San Quentin, and that
his future, his prospects, and all the con-
ditions of life are in her hands. He winds
up as follows: "And you, oh, Tinna.

from this peril. To thy noble heart |

The pig pen puzzle has struck Los An
geles, and has commenced it's work of
making lunatics. At the hotels yesterday
little groups of anxious faces could be seen
watching man absorbed in the work of
trying to solve the new puzzle. 1t con-
sifts of pasteboard, upon which are
fixed three incloures within each other.
Each of these circular rims, except the
outside one. has a small opening, and in
the center is the pen, shaped like hat,
and with an open door at one end.
The puzzle is to SO manipulate
the machine that four marbles
[the pigs) will roll around from the outer
circumference, in through the doors CT
each rim until they reach the central pen,
into which they must be directed. 1t
looks very simple and easy to do. But
there is where one slips up. Getting the
balls successfully through into the second
and third courses is not hard to do; but
then comes the tug of war. Even after
one has penned three pigs. or balls, the
fourth will elude the door, and
the next move brings out every
pig, and the work must be gone
all over again. Those who try to do
this puzzle become intensely interested
in it, and we shall soon see it at every
turn. The last Legislature made provi-
sion for new insane asylum in this sec-
ton, and thepig puzzle now comes along
to furnish it with inmates to start with

The City Board of Education is the
only body in the city government that
has chance to show its party fapgs.
The Democracy has only one Representa-
tive in the whole municipal organization,
and he isa member of that Board. II
may, therefore, be said that the Demo
cratic member embodies and incarnates
in itself the Democratic party. Instead
of giving that member the courtesy
of q wide latitude in debate, the
Board does not hesitate to curtail
his constitutional right. 1t has adopted
the threeminute rule, and thus chokes
off and gags the member from the Eighth.
Mr.Whaling, as Mr.. Whaling, might per-
haps be content to rest under the tyran-
nical three-minute rule; but Mr. Whaling
as the Democratic party, ought not to be
subjected to any such narrow restrain
ment of the liberty of speech. Perhaps
the Board of Education has not really
given thought to its three-minute rule in
this light. Ii it bad, it would only have
applied it to the Republican side of
the Board. As eight is to one, SO
is the advantage the Republican
party has under this rule. The
Republican side of the Board, under it,
is entitled to twenty-four minutes time
IN debate, while the Democratic side is
only entitled to three minutesl No won
der Mr.. Whaling is loud in his denuncia-
tion of the present palpable partisan in

SCOTCH HOME RULE.
A Decided Step ln that Direction
Made in n Proposed Bill

LONDON, April SIN the Commons to.
night, the Lord Advocate introduced a
bill providing for local government in
Scotland. The bill creates county coun-
ellis, the members of which are to be
elected by householders. All borouehs
with a population less than 1000 will be
merged into counties. Others will be
self-governed. The powers of councils
extends to private bill legislation. The
right Of legislating on private bills has
hitherto been vested in Parliament. The
measure is therefore step in the direc
tion of Home Rule. The functions of
councils are otherwise similar to those of
the English councils.

The Grand.

The Little Tycoon was given at this re-
sort last night to a large audience that
thoroughly enjoyed the piece. 1t was a
decided hit, and it deserved to be. The
music is light and tuneful, and the fun
uproarious. Merely as farce-comedy,
if there we're no music at all, the thing
would be a success. The melodies are
quite up to the standard of Sullivan, and
they are sung with more than the aver
age merit of such companies. There is
unlimited variety in the piece, lots of
pretty girls, and admirable dancing and
grouping.
But there is more than this. There is
a great deal of downright clever char
acter acting in The Little Tycoon. The
General Knlckerbocker" of Mr.. r. E.
Graham, is delightful rendition, as
clear-cut as cameo, and droll to the
point of downright agony. Mr.. j. Aid
rich Libbey as calvin Barry"
and "Violet's" lover, pleased every
one by his capital voice and
his spirited and taking ways. Lloyd
Wilson as "Rufus Ready" supplemented
his friend in voice and action very neatly
indeed. Two gentlemen more perfectly
adapted to do the "Razzle-Dazzle" act,
both vocally and physically, it would be
hard to find. McGovern's "Lord Dol
phin' is thing fearfully and wonder
fully made, while his excruciating valet,
Teddy" personated by Mr.. Joseph Mea.
ley, was funny enough for couple of
houses. This portion of the opera is
even more laughable and ridiculous than
anything ever copyrighted by Gilbert
and Sullivan. It is fun boiled down and
skinned of-the pure essence of the
staple.
Miss Catherine Lingard sang the liues
of Violet quite deliciously and acted her
part fairly well. Mamie Cerbi makes
stunning soubrette and was cute and
winsome to the point of fascination.
The opera is a great success. 1t has
plenty of catching airs and the company
has more all round talent than any that
has appeared here for an age. The lover
of a hearty laugh has the call on the
situation for the coming week. If he
don't avail himself of it he deserves to
die of the megrims.

THERE are oceans of carp in the Sac.

no demand for them. And there should
not be- 1t is a'fish as tasteless as pow
dered sawdust. Why the Fish Com
Rissioners ever put any of them in the
streams is mystery. = Sacramento
Bee.
Why the Fish Commissioners ever
brought catfish te this State is another
mystery. They have run out the delici-
ous perch and the sweet-heshed ling
from Sacramento river, and they swarm
in all the sloughs and ponds in
that section. They are a repul-
sive-looking fish and their meat
is but little better than their looks. We
fear that the Fish Commissioners are
making another mistake in planting
Eastern Holsters in our waters. The
crayfish is every bit as good as the lob
ster for table use, and less Objectionable
crustacean to handle. The claw-armed
lobster will naturally seek the grounds
inhabited by the crsyfish, and soon ex-
terminate the latter. Catfish have de-
stroyed the native fish of our northern
rivers, and Holsters will do the
same for our native crayfsh in
the channel islands. The man
who first brought English sparrows
o this State ought to be bastinadoed.
In all the Northern California cities this
1uarrelsome little rascal has supplanted
he linnet, one of our most charming of our
native songsters. Wherever the English
sparrow has secured a footing, the Cali
Iornia linnet has had to go, and we are
afraid that it is only question of time
' hen the sparrow will reach here and
,ust our delightful little native bird.

ing at present on an order for $50 900
worth of their salt glaze vitrifed pipe
for the city OF Fresno, the authorities OF
that city having satisfied themselves of
its superiority to all competing staples.
Orders are pouring in from all portions OF
Southern California, where improve
ments of all kinds are under way, and
the demand will undoubtedly extend
throughout the length and breadth OF
California as knowledge of the merits
Of the article extends. The company
now pay out $4,000 month to their
employees in Los Angeles and at Elsinore,
in freight and incidental expenses, all of
which stays in Southern California. The
beds of this valuable clay cover about
one thousand acres, and the California
Sewer Pipe Company have occurred all
that are known to exist.
Seventy-fve men are at presents en-
ployed in the company's operations.
They are men OF family. Undoubtedly
this number will shortly be swollen to a
couple of hundreds and upwards.
FUTURE WORK.
The company are already making
arrangements to do all kinds of
ornamental terra Gotta work for
building purposes, and they will
also cast the heavier kinds OF
pottery. This department of the works
is under the charge of Mr.. NJ. O'Connor,
who is an artist of marked ability. Some
of the pottery work which he has already
turned out is remarkable for beauty and
finish, as are his terra Gotta designs,
rustic work and more ambitious efforts
IN reJieco. This clay is capable of results
of exquisite delicacy, the molding being
perfect and the coloring mellow and
rich.
Fire brick and pressed brick will also
be specialties of the California Sewer
Company in few months. In addition
to their immense beds of pipe and pot
ter's clay at Elsinore, they have also at
that place great deposits of asbestos,
which will enable them to make fire.
bricks of special resistance.
The HERALD cannot refrain from ten
dering its congratulations to these enter
prising Los An Eeles capitalists upon their
good fortune and business sagacity in
having identified themselves with an en-
terprise that will not only enrich them,
but be such great blessing to this Sec
tion. In the event of the city's carrying
out the exigent clamor for sewering Los
Angeles it is pleasant to know that the
large sums for sewer pipe which the sys-
tenn will involve need not be sent abroad,
but may be kept here and help vitalize
local business.
But with the California Sewer Pipe
Company enough for the day is the evil
thereof. With work on hand to last for
months, the conspicuous excellence OF
their staples will create a demand for
them in all quarters of the Pacific Coast

lllE QOALlI1 OF IKE FIFE.
For the first couple of days the pipe in
the kilns is subjected to very gradual
he vt, for the reason that if the extreme
Temperature were turned on, it would be
liable to elbow out' if the slightest
moisture remained in the clay. We
failed to learn the precise degree of this
heat, but it is 80 great as to almost run
up to the maximum record. 1t is when
the temperature is at its highest that the
clay is converted into salt glaze yitrified
pipe by throwing salt on the fires. The
solution of this salt with the silica in the
clay forms the perfect glaze, resulting in
an article which absolutely resists sewer
acids, which the ordinary dip or glaze
pipe will not do.
The salt-glsze vitri6ed pipe made bv
the California Sewer Pipe Company is
not excelled, If approached, by any 9th r !
pipe manufactured in the world. From
tests made by disinterested people who |
understand the subject, the six-inch pips |
has been known to resist a pressure of |
from ll0 to $50 pounds to the square
inch. The larger sizes have resisted |
pressure of from 20 to 100 pounds.
Mr.. David Mayer has charge of the
tempering department and Mr.. Robert
Vance is the head burner. Immense
quantities of the pipe are scattered
around the company's grounds awaiting
shipment. Its exceptional excellence
was exhibited to the satisfaction of the
HERALD reporter. Broken with ham,
mer it showed that the clay had been
thoroughly permeated by the glaze, and
its resistant power was apparent to the
least experienced eye, while its fine fin
ish extorted admiration.

a magnificent business. They are work.
