The Inaia-Rubbsr Trade.

lFr0m the Panama star ana d0Ehol
In recent number of ftheGuayaauilGlobo is
an excellent article on ''The Cultivation of
India-Rubber. 1t reads - follows:
A cabIegram that We published recently
proves that the merchants and bankers Of
New York consider it probable the manu-
factories of rubber goods will close, owing
to the lack of shipments of india-rubber
from Brazil. On smaller scale Ecuador is
also rubber producer, and as it is certain
the price Of the article will continue to rise
in the manufacturing centers, we wish to
call the attention of our agriculturists and
enterprising citizens to the fact that rubber
crops offer good returns, and that farms
should be formed for the growth OF trees
which are easily cultivable, require little
manual labor and yield good returns.
The system we have followed mp to the
present has stripped our forests of tbs rub
ber trees, and thus we have killed the trees
which formed the hen which was giving us
truly the golden egg-althouRh 1t is a thor
oughly understood and well-known fact that
by periodical tapping the rubber trees GER
tain crop is insured, while the trees do not
die. Up to now our cutters have chopped
down all the trees near markets where the
rubber could be sold, and thus In order to
obtain the article they have to wander fal
| into the innermost recesses Of our vast for.
ests in order to obtain with their axes and
machetes sap from which to make the rub
| ber For this reason the nation which owns
| the forests should adopt measures to prevent
| the destruction of the remaining trees, an6
| should protect and assist by all possibl,
means those who undertake the establish
| ment of rubber farms.
Ecuador is essentially an agricultural re
public, and for this reason we must seek Ii
our soil the means of augmenting our nation
| al wealth. We sincerely hope these indica
tions will receive attention at the hands o
our citizens, the government and the leglsla

ATRAIT OF GREAT ACTORS.


The Remarkable Ease with which
They Can Lose Individuality.
have noticed one popularity which seems
to be possessed by all actors and actresses
who have achieved greatness in the higher
walks Of their profession, says Augustus
Pitou in the Albany Express. Irefer to that
something in their organization, either physi-
cal or mental, or perhaps both, which enables
them while ON the stage to instantly seize
upon and express emotion, and, after having
visibly moved an audience, quietly turn to
another player and indulge in the most
casual conversation while waiting for the
next cue. Then, when the cue comes, quick

remember while playing Horatio with
Edwin Booth, in the celebrated run of "Ham-
let" at Booths theater, how strongly his
possession of this quality was made apparent

were standing in the shadow of the trees on
| the right of the stage, he leaning on my
shoulder, while the obsequies of Ophelia were
being enacted on the left. There is a long
wait before Hamlet has to speak, and then he
has only three words to utter. During this
wait one night Mr.. Booth whispered in my

me to build theater further uptown, which

where was, and politely refused their offer.
Shortly afterward the Winter theater burned
down. I thought of the offer these gentlemen
had made me, and sought them out. They
buttoned up their pockets-they had changed
their minds. The man you see there in the
box, without any solicitation on my part,
offered me his assistance, and with his aid
built Booths theater.
Just then heard the cue given and said
''That is your cue." He asked: "What il

Familiar instances of suspended vitality,
or rather latent vitality, are afforded by
seeds, which may be kept for years without
showing action, but are yet capable of being
recalled to the exercise of the functions of
life. Other instances are afforded by the
lower organisms, which will remain dry and
sterile for indefinite periods, to be brought

the due degree of moisture and warmth.

Arrest ofMr. Nathan Willett.

EDITORS HERALD: On Tuesday the
good citizens of Norwalk and Artesia
were thrown into great excitement by
the arrest of Mr.. Nathan Willett, a
citizen who has been resident of this
part OF the county for many years, es-
teemed and respected by all who knew
him. He was arrested by Sheriff
Aguirre and deputy, who brutally
snatched him from the field where he
was on a moving machine driving
couple of horses: which were left stand
ing in the field without any one to care
for them. Mr. Willett was not allowed
to go to his house to procure a coat or
to bid his wife and babies good by,
but the loving father and devoted hus-
band was taken by these inhuman
officers away and sent to Texas without
any chance whatever of explanation.
This somewhat smacks of the Spanish
inquisition, which is much out of place
in this nineteenth century.
Now for some explanation of the
charge that this man was arrested upon.
G. A. Ball, who has been resident of
Artesia for several years, was at one
time an attorney in Texas, has long
been considered man of unsound mind.
His wife was sister of Mr.. Willett, and
being unable to live with Mr.. Ball, she
separated from him last winter. Mr..
Ball blamed Mr.. Willett for the separa-
ton, and left for Texas, threatening
vengeance upon Mr.. Willett, and the
upshot of it is that he returned with
sheriff to Los Angeles and caused the
arrest of Mr.. Willett, upon the charge OF
murder, which is disbelieved by all
residents of this part of the country, as
Mr.. Willett had been a law-abiding
citizen oathis country fer many years. AS
the charges had not been proven against
him, why was he not allowed by the
inhuman officers to bid his loved ones
good by, or to procure suitable clothes?
Could not two men take care of
one for short time? AS Mr..
Willett is a farmer with a
good home, which he has won
by hard work since his residence here,
it is thought the plan of revenge is to
make him spend all he has saved be-
fore he can gain his liberty.

OFFICIAL KIDNAPPING,
Sheriff Aguirre's High-Handed Action
in the Willett Arrest.

EDITORS HERALD: 1 wish on behalf of
the friends and neighbors of Mr.. Nathan
Willett, of Norwalk, to protest against
the brutal manner in which he was
treated by Sheriff Aguirre and his dep
uty at the time and subsequent to his
arrest. The circumstances have already
been related in your paper as to how
this man was taken from his home, clad
in overalls and shirt, without being
permitted to speak one word to his wife
or even to put on a coat. He was then
rapidly driven to the city, and here Sc
creted so carefully that a thorough
search OF the city and Jail failed to dis
cover his place of hiding. Accident led
Mr.. Sevy, editor of the Norwalk News,
to the Arcade depot Yesterday, where he
obtained view Of Willett, and was per-
mitted to receive message as to the dis
position CT some money. Upon learning
that the man was still in the state

called upon Mr.. Munday, in company
with Mr.. H. O. Hunterferd, of Car
menita, and no time was lost in obtain
ing writ of habeas corpus, which was
duly telegraphed to Sheriff Seymour, of
San Bernardino county-not, however,
till after Sheriff Aguirre personally re-
fused to serve the writ or allow one of
his deputies to do so. l agreed at the
time of request to pay all costs the dep
uty sustained in the matter, and Mr..
Munday was careful to explain the law
to the sheriff. All argument that could
be brought to bear was in vain. The
sheriff refused to act.
Now as to Mr.. Willett and his record.
He came here about 10 years ago and
was employed at once by Mr.. John Dill
ley, of Norwalk, prominent farmer and
a member of the Republican county
committee. He lived in Mr.. Dilley's
family for over two years, and since then,
has never had better friend, nor one
who more earnestly sought his welfare.

tire section of country from San Pedro
to the Sierras you would find no more
popular, honest and faithful citizen than

hailing from his old state. He has been

slant communication with his old home
His whereabouts, therefore, have ever
been known, and we are satisfied, as his
family also is, that the charge is the
outcome of blackmail, proof of which
will be forthcoming at the proper time.
The high state of indignation that
moves the people of Norwalk ,Carmenita,
Downey and Artesia, has found express
sion in call for mass meeting to be
held in Norwalk, with the object of first
recording our opinion of Mr.. Willett and
our expression of the manner of his ar
rest by Sheriff Aguirre. The latter will,
l promise, be handled without gloves,
and by men of all shades of opinion.
