of court etiquette which impcraiycly demands
that sovcrcgns and their relatives should greet

visited Berlin last year his host was forced by
tradition and usage TO kiss him thrice on his ar

| HE FOOLS 'ElI.
People who are Easily Deceived. He
has Caught Eight SO far.

A city druggist stated that he had had eight
calls for. joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla but had
sold his own every time. 1t did not occur to
him that it might be serious matter to give
his old time mercury and potash preparation to
people who do not need syphilitic treatment.
1t is safe to say that not one person in ten have
q syphilitic trouble. Hence what do they want
with such dangerous minerals as mercury and
potash? What nine-tenths of our people are
troubled with is indigestion, dyspepsia, sick
headaches, constipation and face eruptions, all
of which are the legitimate results of improper
liver and kidney action, or impaired digestive
organs. Those disorders do not call for syphiiitic
treatment, but for mild vegetable liver, stomach
and bowel alternatives. We are surprised that
intelligent people should be persuaded into tax
ing mercury and potash sarsaparilla. When
you ask for joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, see that
you get it.

j. T. STEWARD.
The Wonderful Success Of q Leading
Dry Goods House.

The Wonderful Succ ess Of a Leadin z
Dry Goods House.
One of the best known and most sue
cessful dry goods establishments south oil
San Francisco is the house of j. T.
Steward, Is and Is North Spring street,
Los Angeles. In the comparatively few
years Mr.. Steward has been in business
here he has managed to draw an i'm
mense trade to his house from all parts
| of Southern California. Probably one
reason for this remarkable success is the
fact that Mr.. Steward and his assistants
thoroughly understand their business.
The public have learned that at Shew-
ards they can find what they want with
less trouble and infinitely more satisfac-
ton than anywhere else. 1t may almost
be said that Mr.. Stewards house is a
place of art. Not a few ladies confess
that they have yielded to the temptation
to buy many articles they did not really
need simply because the arrangement of
thing is so inviting that they could
so large as many of the great
houses of Chicago and New York, but
newcomers often express their surprise
tnaI tney Can 90 quite as we'll, Doth IN
the quality of goods and the prices, as
they can in the leading eastern cities.
Then Mr.. Steward understands how to
advertise. Watch the lady OF the house
in any home where the HERALD is taken,
and see how anxious she is to see what
Steward is offering for that particular
day. Much wonder is often expressed
that he can afford to advertise such bar
gains, and he alone has the key to the
mystery. Such an establishment as
Stewards is highly creditable to Los
Angeles. 1t is safe to say that his bar
gains draw trade here from all directions,
and the whole city is benefited by his
enterprise. His success is another proof
that it pays to deal squarely with the
public-to promise, and perform exactly
what you promise.

A BIG CONTRACT.
Lyman l. MOwry Engages Eight
Thousand Chinese.

Lyman /. MOwry, an attorney, arrived on
the Gaelic, at nm early hour yesterday morn
ing, from a three months tour of the Orient
Though inclined to be retcent concerning
the business which led him so far from
home, and pleading family cares and the
need OF rest after so long journey, he
finally consented to be briefly interviewed,
and confirmed some of the rumors that had
been connected with his name prior to his
departure.
Il went to China" he said, ''in the inter-
est of the Tehuantepec Railroad Company,
having secured from them some time ago a
contract to supply them with Chinese
laborerS. As it was impossible to get the
| needed force here, my trip became neces-
sity. / went directly to Hong-Kon and
during my stay paid several flying trips to
| Canton, where | contracted for 5000 able
bodied men, who will be shipped direct to
| their new field of labor as the requirements
of the work demand them. Already 800 of
the number have reached Salinas del Santa
| Cruz, on the Gull of Tehuantepec, and are
engaged on the 800 miles of road running
from that point to Coatzacoalcos, ON the
| Gulf of Mexico. AS soon as this road is
opened up, a network of feeders will be
built through the States of Oaxaca and Vera
Cruz, and the City of Mexico will also be
brought into connection with It,"
Speaking of the work itself, Mr.. MOwry
said the present operations were but the be-
ginning of an immense enterprise which
would demand in little while all of the
labor he had contracted to supply. Already
fifty miles are open for traffic, and within
the past four months the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company has carried several locomo-
tives and passenger coaches, and a consider
able number of freight-cars and other rail-
road material. The laborers will be paid
one dollar a day in Mexican silver,

HIGHBINDERS AGAIN.
Two Rival Factions Break Out in
Open Warfare.

All Tuck. a Chinese tailor. employed at
3o5 Battery street. was shot at while going
10 work Yesterday morning at the corner OF
Commercial and Kearny streets, and had
narrow escape from the assassin's bullet.
The man who fired at him is All Lee, Chi
nese. whom the detectives believe TO be q
country highlander brought into this city
for the purpose of numbering member of
warning highlander gang opposed to Lees
society.
The affair is an outbreak of hostilities be-
tween the Sue On Tong and Hop Sing Tong
highlander gangs. whose fights quite re-
Gently ended in blOodshed and the loss OF
three lives in week or two.
Tuck was unarmed. He never dreamt OF
an assault upon his person, and the only
reason for shooting at him is that he be-
longed to rival society and counted as
unit. The man cut no figure; ii was only
TOR life they cared.
When Lee sprang from a doorway and
open ed fire upon Tuck the assailed man
was more than surprised, as he had not eX-
. ected that he was intended as victim Of
the highbinders' wrath. He ran down Com
mercial street, and was followed short dis
lance by Lee, who fired second shot. The
.would-De murderer turned and ran up Com
mercial street to Dupont, to Clay, to
Nayrrly place and into Onelda place, Wnere
he hid in house by slowing himself away
in bunk and throwing clothes over his
body.
Police Officer Harris and Driver Farmer
of the Police Patrol. who saw the shooting,
gave chase to Lee and arrested him in the
bunk. Lee protested that he had been In
the bunk all night, although he could hardly
speak for want Of breath.
The inmates of the house stated he did
not belong to the place and had rushed in
there. Lee would not speak regarding the
ARRAY in which he had engaged. He was
charged at the City Prison with assault to
murder.
Lee is Hop Sing Tong man and Tuck a

Banker HowelIs Daughter Dies The Day
the Crash Came.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-On the very day
that the banking firm of Decker. Howell &
Co. of "A Broadway made an assignment
as a result Of the financial crisis last week.
George X. Howell, senior member Of the
firm, received message by telephone from
wife announcing the sudden and unexpected
death of his little daughter, Gladys This
was Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Howell was in his private Office, sur
rounded by the members of the now defunct
firm and several OF the oldest employees.
1t was a council at which the condition of
the firm was being discussed, and an eXamIn-
alton OF the firms accounts and standing
was being made. Mr.. Howell was opposed
to an immediate assignment. He commended
that the trouble would prove only tempo
Tary one, ana that with tact and energy the
firm could bridge over its troubles if it had a
little more time. The other members
thought otherwise.
Mr.. Howell had made name for himself
among bankers as a Shrevd and energetic
business man, and lie felt confident that the
financial embarrassment in which the big
firm was plunged then could be tided over
The assignment papers had all been drawn
up and were spread out upon the table in
the center of the Cffice and were only await
ing the signature Of Mr.. Howell, when the
NOulu Dt DdIlhluDl- MI
Howell was very reSoiute. just then the
telephone bell rang. MI Howell answered
it in person. 1t was his wife who had
called him up to announce to him the death
of their little daughter. The news unnerved
the banker He hung up the transmitler at
its accustomed place, turned YEARLY away
and nerVouSly said, Gentlemen, | will
sign my name" He signed with trembling
fingers, and half an hOuI afterward the
news went forth that the well-knOwn bank
ing house If Decker, Howell & Co. hadIgone
down into the financial abyss.
Mr.. HowelPs little daughter was his ia
vorite child. Der name was Gladys, and
she was not quite 2 years OF age. On Tues
day morning she was as well as ever, and
prattled merrily en- her fathers knee just
before lie lett for his downtown office. Her
death was a. great blow TO him, and prob
ably decided the destiny of his firm.
Little Gladys was n favorite among the
residents of Bay Shore, where Mr.. Howell
has a summer residence. She was born there
two summers ago A great deal of SYM
pathy is felt there for Mr.. Howell, not alone
because of his financial troubles, but for the
loss he sustained in the death of little
Gladys Her funeral was private.
The little coffin was covered with flowers
when it was taken from the house on
Thursday and buried in the family plat in
Greenwood Press.
