All this is sufficiently absurd. In

Three prominent manufacturers of Massachusetts, who have always voted the republican ticket have -signifed their intention to supdOrt the Hon. Wm. E. Russell, the dem ocratic candidate for governor. One of them is at the head of the Som erville iron foundry, and the other of the SomervilIe spike works, both employing a large numbers of work men. The third is also a manu- facturer of iron and steell. All these believe that the Mckinley bill is detrimental to the iron in terests of Massachusetts. The pol icy which is now avowed of crush ing line of line of business in one section, in order to build 1t up in another does not suit the men who are selected as the martyrs. The manufacturers of Massachusetts are not now seeking the crown of martyrdom .-Courier Journal.

ties" A certain MT. Morton or ganized the work. The second story of a three Aoored house on D street (206) was rented at $20 per month and carloads of material from the census office were removed thereto. Twelve clerks who could be relied upon to hold their tongues were engaged in- July and put to work. The duties of these men were continuous. They toiled day and night. The tally cards of cer- tain States were brought to the D street house at night, retained a few days and then returned to the cen sus office.
 The landlady of the house, Mrs Duling, a matronly and comedy woman of thirty-fve, grew curious to know what work was being pros ecuted in her apartments. She asked Stephen ". Morton, an ap- poiBttee in the Census Office from Winfield, Kan,, what he knew about the matter, but gained no informa- ton. She likewise importuned Census Clerks Sarvis, Church, Will son and Octayius, who were em- ployed on the work, for imforma- ton. She did not get any.
 Shortly after this incident a great mass of census material was burned in the second story front room of the D street house. A man giving the name of Nelson then appeared upon the scene. His authority with the clerks was re- spected by all. He was chiefly in strumental in the final removal of the office to Baltimore, he taking up his abode at the Carrollton Ho- tel. His name is probably an as- sumed one.

The GiIa Monster.

Somehow as yet the reptile vui- garly known as the "Gila Monster" :" has not baen classified by natural ists, and they have gone so far on- iy as to give it a name. It is called the 'IIelioderma," meaning the sun-skinned reptile; hello the sun, dermis, the skin. Now what is it? A local naturalist, of not many pretentions, calls the Gila Moneter hybrid, a production between a saurian and a snake. He comes to this conclusion because the mon ster" has the habits of both snake and lizard It's body resembles that of lizard while the head is that of a snake. Is has the habit too, of throwing its tongue out like Q snake, and its bit is very poison ous and always proves fatal. An other thing, the poison itself is an alkaloid while that other poisonous reptiles Is an acjd.-Star.

\ Traln-RObber Shot.

Birmingham Ala. J, October s. Rube Burrows, the notorious train robber, was shot and killed at Lin den this morning by Carter, one of captors. Carter received a bullet in the breast from the outlaws pis- tol and is dangerously wounded. Couriers from Linden, who have just arrived, give the following par ticulars of the killing.
 Burrows, after his capture last night, was locked in the Sheriff's office inside the jail, and was guard ed by McDuffee, one of his captors, and a negro. Carter, the other cap tor of the outlaw, went to the hotel and went to sleep with the $13,000 of the stolen express money found in Burrows possession. Burrows was handcufed and his feet were tied.
 A short time before daybreak this morning he complained of be- ing hungry and asked for some thing to eat, and McDuffee answer ed that he had nothing to eat. A pair of saddlebags taken from Bur rows were lying in one corner of the room.
 II have some crackers in my sad- dlebags there, if you will hand them to me-" said the prisoner, and McDuf1ee handed the saddlebags to Burrows without opening them.
 Burrows put his manacled hands into the bag for moment and brought out two pistols, with which he covered McDuffee and the negro. and ordered them to. unite him, which they did, he keeping the ne- gro in front of him.
 Burrows then disarmed both men and unlocked the front door, and asked where Carter was with his money, and when told that he was at the hotel, he ordered the negro to show him the way there, remark ing that he was going to have the money.
 He then locked McDuffee, the white man, in the jail, and, with the negro for a guide, he went to Carter's room, and getting the drop on him, demanded his money. Car ter sprang to one side, and, draw ing a pistol, fired at Burrows. The outlaw fired at the same instant, but Carter's sudden movement probably saved his life. He re- ceiyed the outlaws bullet in his shoulder. S,
 The bullet from Carter's pistol struck Burrows in the middle of the abdomen, passing through the body, and he fell dead.
 Carter is badly wounded, but will recover. The affair created the widest excitement in the town. Su- perintendents Agee andFisher ofthe Southern Express company left here for Linden, twelve miles distant, at an early hour this morning, before they heard of the killing. A tele- phone message from Linden ssays the body will be brought here to- morrow.

Here's Richness.

l The new Anti-Lottery law turns out to be more searching than most persons supposed. At the church fair a deadly blow Is struck. A heavy foot is planted upon pious gambling. Judge Tyner, the Assist ant Attorney-General, is complet- ing the official instructions for Postmaster under the Act. He finds that any advertisements which speaks of raffle or other enterprise distributing values by chance must be excluded from the mails. This is little less than a national calam- ity. Man will gamble, and women too. If the mild excitement of the church raffle is stricken out of their lives, into what deeper and darker indulgence of the universal passion may they not plunge?" Oh, mirth and innocence Oh, milk and wa ter !" how is desolation wrought in your realm by the cruel Anti-Lot- tery Act?
 It is far-reaching. Pickaninnies yet unborn in Congo forests may 
 bewail the moral pocket-handker- chief and flannel underwear that have been "dashed from their lips, :" so to speak, by the false statute Be sides, more prizes have been drawn at church rallies than were ever ad- yertiscd in the lists. TAo peddling of chances has been the bud of many an acquaintance that has bur geoned, and, for all we know, de- ilected the destinies of nations. Sheep faced youth have been stirred to fcats of gal!antry, the bare thought of which must have brought the hot flush to their cheeks and suspended their hearts pulsation It is scarce too much to say of that complicated swindle, the church fair, that the rafle was its saving grace.
 But no more rallies now, or Holy John Wanamaker will be down on you, This is to say, you may wade in rallies up to the eyes, but you musn't advertise your shining. There is no objection to the secret indulgence, but it must not be dis played to the eyes of the scolfer. You may fill your sepulchers with bones, but at your peril see to It that the coat of whiteWash be unbroken. 1 Otherwise the vision of fat white face, eXuding sanctimony, shall rise with menace in it's fshy eye. There is reason 10 fear that for once John has brought his wares Co the wrong market. The law against church fairs is silly law, but were it never so wise, Wanamaker dares not enforce it out of fear for the bargain counters pious connection. N. Y. Evening Sun.

 rulers and magistrates in obeying, | honoring and sustaining the law places them on a political equality with all other citizens of the United States. Heretofore what is known as the test oath kept them from exercising their right at the polls. A Mormon who would not take this oath, which was a renunciatiOn of polygamy, could not vote. Now that the manifesto of the head of the church has made 1t not only possible, but the duty of every Nor mon to subscribe to this oath. there IS nothing to stand between this Latter-Day Saints and the ballot box. 1 see that the conference which was held on Monday at Salt Lake, and at which 10000 persons, inclu- ding Apostles, Bishops and the lead 1 ing elders of the church, were pres ent. by unanimous vote recognized the authority of the President to issue his manifesto and also accept ed 1t as binding and authoritative. The conference also readopted the original articles of faith of which l have copy, which you may pub fish if you wish"
 The Articles of Faith, thirteen in number, signed by Milford Wood iruff, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, are as follows:
 First-We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
 Second-We believe that men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adams transgression.
 Third->Fe believe that, through the atonement of Christ, all man kind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
 Fourth-We believe that these or dinances are: First, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Remis- sion of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
 Fifth--We believe that a man must be called of God, by "prophe- cy and by the laying on of hands, , by those who are in authority, to preach the gospel and administer in the ordinance thereof.
 Sixth-We believe in the same or ganization that existed in the prim- tive church, namely: Apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangc- lists, etc.
 Seventh-We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation. visions, healing, interpretation oi tongues, etc.
 Eighth-We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
 Ninth-We believe all that God l has revealed, all that He does now , reveal, and we believe that he will yet reveal many great and impor- [ tant things pertaining to the king dom of God.
 Tenth-We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the res toration of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built upon this conti- nent. That Christ will reign per sOnalIy upon the earth, and that the , earth will be renewed and receive , its paradisiacal glory. Eleventh-We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God ac cording to the dictates of our con I science, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how 7 where or what they may. } Tweltth-We believein in being sub : ject to kings, presidents, rulers ant magistrates; in Obeying, honorine ) and sustaining the law 9 Thirteenth-We believe in being

Some Startling Revelations.

ial from Washington:
 Astounded as the people of New York must be at the revelations of the police re-enumeration in that city, the people of the republic at large must be prepared for a great CT shock.
 If they will look over the coun- try the honest men of all parti( will discover that there is a method in the errors that have been proven to exist in the census reports and the investigations set on foot by the World more than a month ago confirm the most startling suspic- ions. A web of entangling evidence has already enmeshed a Congress- man from Brooklyn, a brace of pol itical managers in that city and half a dozen clerks in various depart ments of the Census office. Clews leading to very much higher game are in the Worlds possession, but it is deemed wise and proper to put the people of the country on their guard without further delay, that an official investigation may be prosecuted at once. The evidence so far adduced appears to show:
 First-That there is & deliberate purpose on the part of the leaders of the dominant party to retain the Congressional majority now in it's grasp,
 Second-That to secure this end, a gang of unscrupuIous men, with or without the sanction of the lead CTS of their party, have connived and conspired together to defraud many of the States of this Union out of their legitimate Congression- al representation.
 Third-That a secret office was fitted up in Washington at 206 D street, N. w., where a manager of the trusted clerks was detailed to alter the true census returns by scaling down the totals or increas- ing the same, that the growth of the Democratic States should not be honestly reported.
 Fourth-That an order was given by an official in the census office, with or without the cOnnivance of the men in high authority in the Government, to scale down the pop ulation of New York City 133,000.
 Fifth-That the order was given an official in the Census Office (with or without the knowledge and ap- proval of the high authorities in this Goyernmen) to reduce the true census of New York State three hundred thousand souls.
 Sixth-That the State of New Hampshire, which has lost pop ulation, was to be scaled up so that its present quota of Congress sional representation should not be changed.
 Seventh-That Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Maine and Minnesota were to be "very literally counted" !" and that the blunders at Minneapo- lis and St. Paul arose from a stupid misinterpretation of instructions.
 Eighth-That the Southern States were to be jumped upon." States which have shown the greatest growth were to suffer to the ex- tent of If to 1G per cent
 Ninth-That this infamous job has, to a large extent. been carried out, and that when the researches of the World frightened the con spirators they moved the secret o!- flee from 206 D street, Washington, to Cathedral street, Baltimore, near the monument, where for the past six weeks the dastardly work has been in progress.
 Tenth-That enough evidence exists to discredit the whole census, independent of the exposures in New York city.
 The World has in it's possession the names of the men who have

annum. But it has just returned to its
old rate, and it will doubtless soon find
its rivals doing the same. Here, when
money can be had at all ON mortgage, 8
per cent. net or 12per cent. grossis asked.
This is a great deal more than money
should be worth under normal condi-
tions, and it is only question Of time,
with such rates, when the mortgages
will eat up the lions share OF the prop
erty mortgaged. There is no city in the
Union that has better prospect than
Los Angeles, and its steady growth is
assured by the fact OF its rich and ex-
tensive back country and its wonderful
commercial and manufacturing possibil-
tiles. 1t is the greatest railroad center
on the Coast, and it has an established
trade that is increasing yearly at an as
tonishing rate. AS basis of security

be availed of occasionally by the wage
worker as well as the professional man,
and indeed very large portion of all
the money spent to enrich the corporate
owners of every new invention, the use
of which becomes matter of general
necessity, comes indirectly from the
wages earned by the worker.
There is no doubt that the laboring
class would be much better off today
than it was a century ago if the rules OF
fairness in distribution and compensa-
ton prevailed that ought to prevail.
But by the aggregation OF wealth in a
few hands and the combination OF
capitalists, backed by the power which
wealth and combination gives them in
our elections, the fair earnings of labor,
and it's fair share in the benefits of in
vention and improvement in machinery,
have been taken away from it and APP
propriated by the plutocratic few, who
are becoming stronger for the perpetual
ton of this great wrong as the wage
workers are becoming weaker to resist it..

The Los Angeles rheater.

Miss Katie Emmett and company ap-
peared at the Los Angeles last night in
The Waits Of New York. The play is
sensational to an extreme degree, with
railway accidents fires, kidnapping, at
tempted murder, plots to ruin and such
like diversions running through all the
acts. There is sprinkled into this a
large amount of fun, the vein OF humor
being broad in quantity and in quality.
Miss Emmett, as "Willie Rufus" the
boy outcast and hero of the play
is very clever. Several members
of her company, too, do very
good work. George w. Thompson is
perhaps the last, as the German saloon
keeper Mr. Thompson has been here
several times before, first as the Amer
lean newspaper reporter in Michael
Stroqof, years ago at old Turner hall,
when he did excellent work.
The house was large and appreciative,
manifesting decided enjoyment OF the
points in the play as they passed before
them. 1t is on for the week.

comedian, is here to make preparations
for the opening of Len Johnsons min

ELSEWHERE in the HERALD this morn
ing may be found an account OF what one
of the reporters of this paper saw on Sat
urday in relation to the disappearance
OF the scale pests of all varieties in the
Vernon district. 1t really appears as il
these pernicious parasites OF all sorts
were disappearing. from the orchards.
The trees inspected manifest healthful
vigor such as we have not seen in the
orchards about this city for years. Some
people of experience claim that
this is the season OF the year
when the old scales are dead and
the new generation too small to discover
excepting for an experts eye aided by a
glass. There may be some force in this,
but not enough by ninety per cent. to ex-
plain the condition of the orchard in
spected. In past years when the pest
was in his glory there was nc
season of the year when he did not
abound in infested orange groves in
nearly all stages of his protean existence.
In this orchard he is almost extinct in all
his forms. At the Sierra Madre villa
the same is true, and SO it is of the Bald
win ranch. At Sunny Slope the pest is
SO nearly extirpated that the company is
planting large area of new trees. 1t is
most important fact, and bears di.
rectly and with great emphasis on the
future development OF our section.
