Mr.. FRYE astonished the Senate or
Thursday with 4 statement from the com
mittec on commerce showing the effect o
law on monopoly. He reported bill
70 repeal the law Of last Congress requiring
steamships 10 carry guns and rockets for
casting lines In cases Of distress, and stated
the reason for tho bill TO be ''that the greed
Of certain companies might receive the
notice required" The Lyle Gun company
furnished 10 the life saving stations guns at
$3.50: the Hunt Gun company, guns at
eS7. .25, and the Cunningham Rocket COM
pany, rockets at go. But that after the
enactment Of the law steamships were re-
quired to pay $500 for the Lyle gun, $3.50
for the Hunt gun and 900 for the rockets.
This IL q startling example of monopoly
avarice, and several senators were 30 indig.
nant that they were eager to pass the bill at
once, but permitted II to 60 on the calander
In regular order 30 that the companies
might have chance TO say something.

OF the census law. The duties of enumera-
tors are srduous, but tho compensation 10

that enumerators are TO be selected solely

Affiliations, the applicants for positions may

II. Landis is tho supervisor, and If he ad-
heres to this provision of the law II will be
surprising. The Examiner evidently re-
CARDS Mr.. Landis appointment with pro-
found concern and fully expects him TO
mako appointments In the interest of Mr..
L. X. Martin, candidate for the Republican
nomination for lieutenant governor.

ROOT OR MCGINTY?
A Message From the Deep
Blue Sea.
Is There a Man Lost on San
Clemente,
Or is it Ruthless Practical
Joke
Henry Root Lost in a Squall-Sends a
Message Which Lands at Rattle
snake Island,

When message placed in bottle is
found on a seabeach the first thought of
the finder is that he has become the vic
tim of first class hoax, and that it
will be impossible for him to punch the
head of the fellow who has taken him
in. True, the practical joker will
not have the pleasure of seeing the
rage of the man who uncorks the bottle
and reads the heartrending message
from the sea, and there is consolation in
that point for the finder. But, on Sec
ond thought, the discoverer of the bot
tied paper is very apt to believe that
there may be truth in the matter, and
then his sympathy is bound to be
awakened for the miserable being or
beings beyond relief, whose suHerings he
can we'll imagine, and whose horrible
death depicts itself vividly before his
mental eyes.
Now, such message from the waves
was found yesterday on the beach of
Rattlesnake island, near San Pedro, and
if it is not hoax the unfortunate fell
low who wrote it is very apt to have
suffered the fate of the poor old man
whose dead body was discovered there
about month ago, ant buried by
party of his friends.
Mrs. Sparr, lady of this city, while
walking on the beach of Rattlesnake
island, saw a bottle bobbing in the
wavelets near the shore, and, her curi-
osity being excited, she drew it on the
sand. 1t contained a sheet of paper.
She conveyed the bottle to the Office of
Mr.. Crane, agent of the Southern Ea
cific at San Pedro, who opened it.
The following message was withdrawn
from the bottle and is now in the Gus
tOdy of the. agent:
SAN CLEMENTE, June 20, 1890.
AM lost on the rocks off Clemente
island in squall; have small hope of
getting off. The finder of this please
send to Seymour Root, Cottage Grove,
MINI. HENRY RooT.
The message in itself looks terribly
earnest, and there is hardly anything in
it to lead to the belief that some person
with little with but much bad taste has
perpetrated an abominable joke for
the purpose of causing sensation.
There seems to be no knowledge that
such man as Henry Root had been
staying at San Pedro, but that, of course,
means nothing. He might nevertheless
have been staying there, or he might
have sailed from Oceanside or San
Diego.
One point which will easily settle the
matter with the sea-faring population of
San Pedro is whether it was possible for
a bottle thrown into the water at San
Clemente to drift into the harbor near
San Pedro in five days. The people
down theresare familiar with the cur
rents on the coast, and if there is any
likelihood of there being truth in the
message taken from that bottle, rescue
party will tbe organized and search
made for Mr.. Root, for he must be very
wet.

A PIONEER GONE.
Death of an Old and Distinguished
Resident.

Captain George j. Clarke, one of our
Oldest residents, passed away at 10
o'clock Saturday night. He had been in
ill-health for some time, and towards
the end his sight became poorer and
poorer, until finally it left him alto
gether. Captain Clarke was born in
Northwood, New Hampshire, in 1917, so
that he was in his seventy-third year at
the time of his death. In early life he
engaged in mercantile business, and
went to New South Wales. There he
remained until he heard of the gold dis
coveries in California, ,whenhe sailed for
San Francisco, arriving there in 1850.
After the usual experiences of pioneers
he came to Los Angeles in 1861, and has
lived here ever since.
When he first came to Los Angeles he
explored and opened up mining dis
tricts between this city and Inyo. He
discovered Armagossa district and To-
Gated series of mines in that direction.
He was at the head of the Yarbrough
Company, which had an Office in San
Francisco. Mills were erected, and the
prospects were very encouraging, when
suddenly an Indian outbreak took place
that extended clear into Nevada. The
mills and houses were burned, and num-
bers of whites were ruthlessly slaugh
tered. This was the last great rising of
the aboriginies ON this coast.
From 1870 to 1878 he was postmaster
of this city, and acquitted himself of his
duties with credit to himself and to the
satisfaction of the community. Subse-
quently he was appointed notary pub
lie, and for the last few years of his life
his notarial duties absorbed his entire
attention. Captain Clarke was agentle-
man of the strictest integrity and the
highest character. He was man
whose good influences were widely felt,
and in his sphere and amongst his
neighbors he was esteemed and re-
spected for his many excellent and
sterling qualities. He was true friend,
an exemplary citizen, kind and de-
voted husband and one of those lives
that make the world the better because
they have been lived. He passes away
regretted by all who knew him, and
creating void in the immediate circle
in which he moved that cannot be
filed. Our sympathies 60 out to his
aged widow and family.
His funeral will take place at 10 a. m.
tomorrow, from his late residence, 2,11S
South Main street.

Timms, who is a non-suspecting man,
followed the advice, and now is hunting
for the man who gave it to him. He
has been in bed for ten days, and for
three days his doctor despaired of his
recovery. Almost the entire interior of
his body was poisoned. His throat,
stomach and intestines were affected ex-
actly as is the outside skin by the
poison, and not only was this the
case, but externally from crown to toe
he was poisoned. He could not see,
swallow or hear. The slight movement
resulting from breathing produced the
most exquisite agony. Anyone who
has been slightly affected by the plant,
can imagine what it would be to have
the entire interior as we'll as exterior of
ones person poisoned. Many times
during his suffering Mr.. Timms SOL
emnly swore if he recovered, that he
would kill the man who got him into the
trouble, and it is said that he firmly in
tends to carry cut his threat half way,
if not entirely.

HE CHEWED POISON OAK,
And Now Swears He Will Have
Revenge.

w. J. Timms, who lives on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, Boyle Heights, recently
acted on the medical principle of
the hair of the dog being good for its
bite. He was camping in the San Ga
briel cafion, and was fearful of being
affected by poison oak, to which he is
susceptible. An experienced mount
aineer, hearing him talk about the mat
ter, told him to take some of the leaves
of the plant and chew them, swallowing
the saliva resulting. This would surely
prevent him from being affected. Mr..

GOOD GROUNDS
For a Rise in Coffee Unless War is
Settled,

"If these South American revolution
lists keep on fighting much longer there
will be coffee famine on this coast"
said well-known grocer to a HERALD
man yesterday. 'The San Francisco
papers have predicted that, and they
are right. Very nearly all the coffee
which we get here comes from Central
America, and Guatemala and San Sal
yador furnish us about 100000 sacks
year. The coffee planters must have
labor to handle their crops, and it is
likely that before long most of the able
bodied men will be shooting each other
in the interests of some dictator or pres
ident."
''Tben coffee would not be bad
speculation now?"
"Young man, you had better spec
ulate in most anything than on the
probable action of South American re-
public. If the fighting continues coffee
will go away up; if it stops, why, prices
stay quiet"

SOME FIGURES
About the Dried-Fruit Industry at
Monrovia.

Very few people appreciate the ,ex-
tent of the dried-fruit boom now in
Southern California. A few figures fur
nished by one firm in the business at
Monrovia will illustrate it. In six weeks
past this company has cut 500 tons OF
apricots and has shipped sixteen car
loads of the dried fruit. 1t has pur-
chased already $50 tons of peaches,
which are now being dried, and the first
carload of which will be sent east TO-
day. 1t has also purchased for the same
purpose 600 tons of French prunes, and
will dry about ten carloads of grapes.
1t employs 240 men, and takes care of
forty tons of fruit each day. The man
ayers state they have sold all the fruit
that they can buy, and are ready to pay
81. 40 hundred pounds for all that can
be delivered to them.

the Southern Pacific Company has de-
cided to construct line beginning at
Pomona and following the grade of the
Chino and Elsinore road to Chino; then
on to South Riverside, and to Riverside

Everybody has heard of "horse laugh"
hut who has ever seen an equine gifted with
the power of speech2 Such an animal would
be pronounced miracle; but so would the
telegraph and the telephone hundred years
ago. Why, even very recently cure for con-
sumption, which is universally acknowledged
to be scrofula affecting the lungs, would have
been looked upon as miraculous, but now peo-
pie are beginning to realize that the disease
is not incurable. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will cure it, if taken in time and
given fair trial. This world-renowned rem
edy will not make new lungs, but it will re-
store diseased ones to a healthy state when
other means have failed. Thousands CRATE
fully testify to this. It is the most potent
tonic, or strength restorer, Alternative, or
blood-cleauser and nutritive, or fiesh-builder,
known to medical science. For Weak Lungs,
Splitting of Blood, Bronchitis Asthma, Ca

it is an uneQualed remedy. In arrangements
of the stomach, liver and bowels, as 1ndiges-
