GIRL AND GOLD.


u Ia scmciimes the One and Sometimes
ne Other That Makes Jewelry Crock.
Every jewcler has doubtless met
with many curious incidents in his
business career, but think that an en-
perience of mine is worth relating
Shortly after the holidays there came
into my place pleasant hammered
young man who expressed a desire to
look at some gold necklaces. It's need
less to say that sold him one. 1t was
IA carats and very pretty. Two days
later the door was flung open and in
rushed the same young man, boiling
with rage. He threw the necklace on
the counter, demanded the return Of
his money, and threatened to expose
me as swindler It took half an hour
to learn his story.
1t seems that after presenting the
necklace to his lady love he had taken
her to reception ornamented with
his present. After the first dance there
was commotion in one corner of the
room, and the rivals of our customers
best girl were tittering among them
selves and whispering about her.
The young lady looked in the glass
and almost tainted at the sight. Her
beautiful neck was almost black from
the friction of the necklace. She
changed her mind about fainting. 80.
turned home with her brother, and
sent the necklace back to her young
man with note that she did not like
his brass.
tested the necklace in his presence,
and proved to him that it was full IA
carats About that time young ply
sician called TO purchase a scarf pin.
He had overheard part of the story
and asked TO hear the balance, us he
believed he could throw some light on
the subject. Pretty soon lie laughed
outright and said: Why, sir the
trouble is with your girl and not the
necklace. She has too much sulphur,
i iron, mercury, salt or acid in her
blood, and as any of these substances
has an affinity for gold the expla-
nation is clear. I have patients for
whom mercurial medicines have been
prescribed, and the result is that their
fingers upon which rings are worn
discolor at once" My customer cooled
off and carried his purchase away.
In connection with this subject q
good story is told at the expense of q
Maiden Lane dealer. He gave his
sister an 1S carat ring as present
He is a practical joker, and she
asked him if the ring was gold. HI
replied that it was. That evening the
young lady had occasion to remove
the ring from her finger, and she
noticed that the skin was greatly dis
colored. "Jim has carried his joke
too far" she exclaimed, and opening
the window threw the trinket into thu
street; some gamin picked it up
When my friend learned Of it he CAM
to me for consolation, and explained
my own experience. His sister is sorr!
for her haste.

is everything brass that discolos. 4

The people residing in the neighbor-

eagerness to claim everything in sight,
and to possess the earth, so to speak,
Montana was put down in the Rspubli-

time. The writer was one OF party
which contained Judge Erskine M. Ross,
and which rode through Alhambra day
before yesterday. All the party noticed
the splendid condition of the orange
groves, their improvement over this time
q year ago being specially conspicuous.
The conversation ran on orange culture,
the success with which the Australian
lady bird had extirpsted the white scale,
and kindred topics. One of the party
remarked that the only drawback to the
profits of orange culture was that one
had to wait seven or eight years for a
moneyed return from his trees. "But
you are not obliged to wait seven years."
said Judge Ross. "Four years ago l
planted q naval orange orchard, the
trees being three years old at that
time. This year my returns will be
quite an average of box and half to
the tree. Some of them will yield three
boxes to the tree. 1 shall have no diff
Guilty in selling these oranges for So
box, which will guarantee me about $500
an acre." The Judge might have added
that four years from now his returns
from this orchard will be doubled. 1t is
hard to estimate the value of lands from
which such results are obtainable. One
of the brightest points in the horoscope
of Los Angeles county is the revival of
her orange interests, following upon the
extirpstion Of the scale.

The Or0nin Element Issue a Call
For "a Convention.
PHILADELPHIA, October 6.-Fodr MEM
bers of the Executive Committee of the
Clan-na-G Gael, who represent the Cronin
faction as opposed to the Nationalist fac
on, have issued call for convention
of all the camps throughout the coun-
try. The bill is signed by Duke
A. Dillon, and O'Meagher Condor, of
this city James Tierney, of New York,
and Mortimer Scanlon, of Chicago.
There are nine members of the Execu-
tive Committee, five Of whom are Ma
tionalists, who therefore have control.
These five have come out in countar
circular, forbidding the camps to send
delegates to the proposed convention, as
the call, they allege, is unauthorized and
illegal. :, -,
The purpose Of the convention called
by Dillon, Condor, Scanlon and Tierney
is stated to be for the purpose of re-
organizing the order. The circular calls
for one delegate from each camp, and
blanks are enclosed for filing III the
names of the delegates and alternstes Sc
lected, which are to be forwarded, as
we'll as other communications, to E,

fee. 1t is claimed that the name Of
Kemper is not the real name Of anyone
connected with the movement, but is as.
sumed.
The circular goes on to say that upor
receipt OF these names, credentials, pass
words and time and place of holding the
convention, will be sent in return. Luke
Dillon has been designated as the pre-
siding officer.

BosToN, October 6.-The delegates to
the International American Congress,
after a comfortable nights rest and
hearty breakfast, we're ready for another
day Of sightseeing. The carriages boar
ing the party were drawn through the
city and down to the docks, where they
were met by the Mayor and committee
of the Board of Aldermen and escorted
aboard o steamboat, which landed them
at Deer Island. At this place are To-
Gated the correctional institutions Of
the city, which the delegates in
spected. In the chapel of the
Reform School pretty ceremonial
took place. About 800 of the boys, all
uniformed in blue and wearing white
gloves, marched with military precision
and greatly entertained the visitors with
singing and other exercises, while band
filed the intervals with music.
At the close of the exercises luncheon
was served in the dining-room. When
coffee was reached brief remarks were
made by several of the delegates and
officials. When the speeches were con-
cluded the party returned to Boston.
In the afternoon procession of Ian
daus half a mile in length carried the
excursionists out of Boston and about
Cambridge, and past all the buildings Of
Harvard University. The drive was cut
through the clustered villages that con-
stitute Boston's suburbs, past Longfel-
lows home, with the Brookline district
as the objective point. At dusk the
party alighted at the home OF John l..
Gardner, Director of the Chicago, Bur.
lington and Quincy Railroad Company,
and after brief reception returned to
the city.

SOME fsnciful people in the up country
are amusing themselves with the idea
that Los Angeles is writhing under a
severe eclipse. People here, however,
are confronted with the fact that build
ing permits are being Issued at the rate
of $50, 900 a week, week in and week out,
or at the rate of somewhat over 1920, 900
month, or 50, SOC, 900 year. OF course
this is not building at boom rate; but
considering that Los Angeles has already
more handsome houses than San Fran
cisco, and that we are just emerging
from hot and oppressive summer, it
speaks pretty we'll for this city. The in
dications are that this rate will be
doubled or perhaps trebled within a
short time, and it is Independent of the
approaching completion of cable-car
system which will cost fully $4,000, 900,
OF splendid new City Hall which has
just been finished and occupied, of a
grand Court House nearing completion
and of additional school facilities which
will cost 100000.

prominent and wealthy citizens of st.

the effects of a brutal beating received
early this morning, near the corner OF
Jefferson and Cass avenues. Those i'm

story. Edward Klosterman keeps gro.

and saw man walking toward her bed
without shoes. hat or coat. She
screamed and Klostermsn and his bar
tender came up stairs, They found a
strange man on the landing. Alexanee
Hunt, who was also in the saloon, came
up after them, and told Kloster-
man to turn the man over to
him. This was done, and Hunt beat
the stranger, who proves to have
been Captain Slatteiy, most brutally,
winding up by throwing him down stairs.
They then followed him out on the street
and beat him in terrible manner there,
and when they had pounded him suf-
Gciently, took him to the Police Station,
where the Sergeant Immediately recog

pronounced his injuries very dangerous.
All the parties concerned have beer

LONDON, October 6.-Second ballots
which took place in the constituencies in
France today excite the least possible in
terest in England, and appear to be re-
gGrded throughout France and in Paris
itself withholding approaching the usual
election excitement. The feeling seems
to become general that the Republic is
now firmly established for many years,
and whatever may be the result of to-
days ballots, France will maintain her
existing form OF government intact
Boulanger is no longer factor in ANY
French political problem. Those who,
heretofore, have been his warmest politi-
cal friends, are today ready to accept
an explanation of the General for the
disastrous overthrow at the polls, which
is anything but craditable to their
former chief. Utterly unable to COM
prehend that the French people should
have deliberately repudiated themselves
and their revolutionary schemes, they
now insist that their defeat is due
entirely to the failure OF General B ular =
ger to use the large sums of money
which had been given him to aid in
carrying the elections, for the purposes
for which they were intended. 1t is
openly charged that the brave General
has been quietly slowing away millions
of francs which his wealthy. dupes
p cured into his ffers, Will he let the
elections take care OF themselves. Bou-
lsnger takes pains to create the i'm
preston that he is impoverished, but his
disguised allies make no secret of thei'
belief TINT he has carefully nursed hi!

ROUGH ON THE OLD MAN.
Ex-President Robinson fertMg
for His SONS IndiscretiOn.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., October 6-Gil-
man P. Robinson, son of ex-President
Robinson, of Brown University, and him
self Registrar of that institution, has
been found short in his accounts about
$4,000. He admits the shortage, but
says it is due to ignorance of book keep
ing and gross carelessness on his part.
Robinson was succeeded by new
Registrar this fall. When DR.. Robin
son resigned the Presidency of the Uni
versity the scandal had just come
to light. Pride in his old college
prompted him to come before the Board
of Trustees and pledge his word of
honor and what estate he was possessed
of, that coma what would of the inspec-
ton Of the Registrars books, he would
stand in the breach and meet any obi.
cations which might be determined by
the expert. The aged Doctor has but
little property, and it is feared unless
some one comes to his relief he will be
reduced to almost nothing.

THERE seems to be good deal of COM
petition between Cotton, Highlands,

nardino county, az to which ehall secure
the location of the new State Insane
Asylum. 1t is an institution which few
people would like to have in the imme-
date neighborhood of their families, but
it is to be hoped, in the interest of hu.
mainly, that some point will be selected
which is noted for its salubrity and
pleasant surroundings, as such influences
have a marked influence on the unhappy
creatures whom it is sought to benefit.
There IRE many places in our neighbor-
ing county noted for healthfulness and

THE RE.HALLOTS,
More Than TWo-Thsrds of the fOn'
stituenCies Gone Republfcan.


stituencies Gone Republican,.
PARIS, October Ere ballots were
taken today in the districts in which the
recent elections were without a definite
result. The weather was fine, and host
of electors presented themselves at the
polls. The followers Of Boulanger are
deserving his cause. NJ. Lagusrre and
other former Boulsngists have ceased to
mention the Generals name, styling
themselves only Revisionists. 1t is esti-
mated that two-thirds of the 1856 con-
stituencies which balloted today have
gone Republican. The Conservatives
calculated upon the return of two CT
there candidates in Paris.
All the mem bers Of the National Com
mittee will confer with Boulanger in Lon
don on his departure for the Isle Of
Jersey.
In Belleville, Dumay (Socialist) re-
ceived 1854 and Rochefort 4,054. In
Bordeaux, Jourde (Boulangist) hse
ousted Faure. In Lille, Verquin (Re-
publican) has beaten the Boulangist can
didate. Lyons has elected three Re-
publicsns.
The boulevards were animated this
evening. Crowds paraded the streets
shouting partisan cries. Mounted guards
kept the people moving.
| The total returns for Paris show the
election of twenty-five Republicans and
fourteen Boulangists. Among the former
are: Lockroy, Millerand, Dreyfus, Ian.
essan, Raspail and Manhattan. Among
the Boulangists are: DR.. Merry, who
defeated M. Basly, and M. Senne, who
defeated ex-Minister Aeredit.
MIDNIaHT-A few arrests have been
made, principally of noisy youths. The
streets are still crowded; otherwise the
city is calm. The results in the Prov
inces arrive slowly. Returns from 1853
districts show the election of 1903 Repub-
licans and As anti-Republicans.
1t is reported that split has occurred
between Boulanger and Count Dillon, be-
cause of the formers assertion that a bar
gain with the Conservatives had caused
the loss of seats to the Boulangists. The
Boulangists have obtained nearly half OF
the representation of Paris, and many
Anti Republicans elected are pledged to
the revision policy.
LATER-Returns from ITO districts in
which re-ballots were taken show the
election of 122 Republicans and 4S anti
Republicans.
