HEALTH OFFICER MACGOWAN.
He Claims to Have Been Misrepre-
sented.

DIR. Granville MacGowan, city health
officer, called at the HERALD office last
evening in reference to a paragraph in
yesterdays issue which criticised the
conduct OF his department. He desired
to; make statement about the matter
which he did as follows:
"That newsboy's home garbage story is
all baseless. Complaints came to me that
there was a lot OF garbage there. We
were notified of it once by Mrs. Cornell.
Mr.. Donigan's superintendent called on
me and l requested him as a personal
favor to me to remove the garbage.
No, it is nobody's bus
mess to remove garbage from such a
place. Mr.. Donigan has a contract to
remove such stuff from private houses,
but hotels and public institutions like
ment with the city. There was no
threat OF exposing me in the public
prints, if there had been 1 would not
have removed the garbage under any
circumstances.
"About that hill matter, Mr.. Breakey
came to my Office once, very excited,
and accused me of not doing anything
about improving the water supply on
the hills, and accused the board of
health of dereliction. He was in such a
state OF excitement and acted in such a
manner that declined to talk to him.
AS matter of fact it is due to my personal
efforts that the hills are as well supplied
as they are. 1 compelled the City
Water Company to do all that was done
to furnish these people with pure
water.

NEW SUITS.
A Michigan Man Thinks He Has
Been Swind1ed.

John P. Sanborn, resident of Michi-
gan, has filed complaint in equity in
the United States circuit court, against
the directors of the Pacific water COM
pany. According to the bill it is alleged
that the plaintiff owns 1910 shares of
the capital stock of the Pacific water
company; that at recent meeting de-
fendant transferred the works to the San
Gabriel land and water company, in
which latter company they were stock
holders.
The plaintiff claims that the action
was irregular and without authority ,and
intended to defraud him out of his rights.
He prays that the property may be
retransterred to the Pacific water com
pany, and that the San Gabriel land
and water company be declared null
and void, land for such other relief as
the court may order" The defendants
are prominent Pasadena and Los Angeles
business men.
Harrington Brown has sued Maria
Howes and Ralph Rogers to recover
$1905. 20 and asks that certain real estate
be sold to satisfy the claim.
Henrietta Cruickshank and John Pol
ly, executriX and executor of the will of

A PILGRIM FATHER
Celebrates his Birthday at the County
Hospital.

A very remarkable and interesting in
cident occurred at the county hospital
last Sunday. Such an event as never
occurred there before and may never
again. The members of the choir of the
Asbury M. E. church had been invited
and were there and rendered
several songs at the bedside of the aged
pilgrim, father D. Burchard, who ap-
peared in good health and was 100 years
Of age on that day. The first hymn
sung was entitled; "My latest sun is
sinking fast" After singing in this
ward the visitors went outside and lis
tened to an interesting discourse by the
Rev. j. M. Schaehe, ON the subject,
Spiritual Poverty" ]. M. Schaefe has
been the leader of these meetings for
several weeks and will undoubtedly
continue to lead at the request of
many patients.
After the discourse the meeting was
thrown open for testimony and the time
appeared to be well enjoyed by the large
number of patients The meetings are
undenominationl and have been in
creasing of late both in numbers and
interest. Everybody is welcome.
After the meeting the doctor showed
some of the visitors through the differ
ent wards which was kindly appreciated
by all. A VISITOR.

HOW ABOUT THIS?
Our City Officials Afraid of the Water
Company.

The Crown Hills Improvement Society
met last evening and judging from
the report of the water committee
there can be no doubt that people of
that region have good reason to feel
angry. The committee scored the city
officials as reluctant to consider any
theory connected with the water COM
pany, and as derelict in their duty in
permitting the City Water company
to furnish polluted water; the committee
held that the city government was
disgraced in not making an effort to
remedy this. The report contained the
startling statement that the open ditch
was being used for bathing purposes by
the people whom the City Water Com
pany hires to keep the screen at the
mouth of the ditch free from dead dogs
and similar obstacles.
Mr.. Hutchinson called attention to
the fact that the great register was now
open and urged that every voter should
see that his name was on it.
Chairman Wells announced that at
he next meeting an election of officers
twould occur and the standing com
mittees would be reorganized.

RIVERSIDE.
A Breezy Letter From the Orange
Center.

Center.
Riverside, the ancient mother of cit
rus fruit industries, has outlived the
real estate demon and remains at this,
perhaps the dullest month in the year
in these parts, as beautiful as ever.
The year has been singularly and de-
cidedly prosperous, 1859 cars of fine or
anges, not all of them navels, but all of
first quality and giving a distinction
and creditable mark to the California
fruit interests have been sent away.
The returns from these have gladdened
the packers and growers and have lifted
alike the hopes and mortgages of the
citizens. The banks are gloating over
their reports of cash on hand and deposit,
and certainty in hand has given to
most faces look of comfortable assur-
ance in place of the glaring smile of
things hoped for in the speculation
times gone by.
Real Estate traffic has awakened. Not
into the mania of boom times but a
lthy and we'll founded activity. The

Fruit Drying Assuming the Proportions
of a Boom,

FruiV DryIng Assuming the .froportiohs
of Boom.
Fruit drying is progressing finely.
The apricot crop is all gone, but peaches
are plentiful. The crop of peaches is
exceedingly heavy and the fruit is of
fine quality.
Mr.. Elmer Thomason has sold his
sun-dried peaches for seventeen cents
per pound and has refused fifty dollars
ton for his French prunes.
Mr.. William Forbes has refused an
offer of forty-seven dollars ton for his
prunes. He reports good crop on five
year old trees.
Mr.. Jacob Brunses reports the best
returns from strawberries. He has sold
over five hundred dollars worth of
strawberries from less than two-thirds
of an acre of land.
On the place of Mr.. Berrie, late ar
rival from Canada can be seen some of
the finest. Golden cling peaches in the
valley. Three of an average size weigh
ed three pounds and half.
The board of supervisors refused to
grant an election on the proposition to
organize an irrigating district under the
Wright act. Perhaps no one regrets the
action under the circumstances, but
the organization will nevertheless be eff
fected at some future time.
Much fruit is being shipped to Mon
rovia where about four hundred hands
are employed in the process OF drying.
1t is reported that an employee of the
Southern Pacific railroad company was
in the vicinity few days ago looking
up the magnitude of the fruit business.
A thousand carloads of fruit yearly
ought to pay road for building through
the valley. There are now more than
two thousand acres of fruit trees
planted in and around Covina. An acre
of land will certainly produce carload
of fruit at a low estimate, so within a
year or two more railroad will be ur-
gently needed.

SON AGAINST MOTHER.
1t is Battery for Parent to Strike a
Child.


In the police court yesterday Madame
Maximilienne LIE Brun appeared before
Justice p. E. King, sitting for Justice
Lockwood, for trial upon the charge of
battery preferred against her by her son
Abel. The complaint alleged that on
June 25th last, his mother was at the
house of Madame Marie La Conte at No.
13S south Los Angeles street, when he
called there to see a friend, named
Matthew Calloux. She at once COM
menced to abuse him, his wife and
family and when he demonstrated with
her, she threw saucepans and other
cooking utensils at him and after
following him up from one room to
another, slapped him in the face.
Madame La Conte and Matthieu Cal
lOux correlated this statement in the
main.
The defendant then took the stand in
her own behalf and stated that she was
SO years of age, and that her son was 45
years old. There had been i'll feelings
between them for some time past owing
to dispute over some property she
owned. On the date in question she was
at the house of Madame. La Conte, when
her son, who had been drinking with
his attorneys came in and asked for
Calloux, whom he wanted to treat. She
told him that it would be better for him
to go home to his sick wife, and keep
his children from running bareheaded
and shoeless on the streets, than to
spend his money in drink. He then
got very mad, and struck her on the
shoulder leaving a black mark which
lasted for week, whereupon she slap
ped his face. She did not have him
arrested, because he was her son, and
she had forgiven him.
The two witnesses were recalled in
rebuttal and both denied having seen
Abel strike his mother on the shoulder,
before she struck him.
While they passed to and from the
witness stand in front of the defendant,
she muttered in French to them, where
upon her son jumped to his feet and re-
quested the court to instruct his mother
not to insult his witnesses, thus showing
the bitter feeling he entertained against
the old lady. At the close of the case,
Major Horace Bell, who appeared for
the defendant, made an eloquent appeal
to the court to dismiss the case, as it
was against public policy to encourage
such unfilial conduct as had been
evinced by the complainant; but the
court, in lengthy speech, announced
that the law did not recognize the rela-
tionship of mother and son, and found
the defendant guilty. He, however, in
ficted the nominal fine of 81, and prom
ised to remit it, if at the end OF six
months the parties had not again ap-
peared in court on similar charge.

LOCAL CAPTAIN SWIFTS.
Footpads Indulge in Early Morning
Sport.

At an early hour yesterday morning
j. w. Woolsey, who resides at No. 723
Turner St., while returning home along
Second street was attacked, near the
Alameda street crossing, by couple of
pootpads, who, after giving him severe
beating, threw him down and robbed
him Of his watch and some small articles
of value. While the thieves were "going
through" Woolsey's clothing, their vic
tim yelled Justify for help and his cries
attracted the attention OF officers Steph-
enson and Smith. When the policemen
put iii All appearance, however, the men
ran away, but one Of them, Joe Wallace,
was captured, and youth named Lee
Jack was also arrested, in spite of his
protestations Of innocence. Both men
were taken to the police station, and
after spending the night in jail, were
taken before justice Austin for arraign
ment upon the charge of robbery, when
they were remanded to jail until this
afternoon, when their cases will come up
for examination. When Wolsey was
held up, he had several hundreds of
dollars in greenbacks and checks conceal
ed in small leather wallet in his vest
pocket, and but for the timely arrival
of theofficers he would certainly have lost
this sum, as we'll as his watch and other
effects.

Smuggling by Mail.

Most of the smuggling by mail is done
in parcels. When these are sealed we
always suspect something dutiable within.
The most remarkable thing seems to be
the small compass into which the mail
smugglers can get goods. A silk dress
goes into parcel that you would not think
could contain waist.
In one case we had letter opened, and
in thin piece of wood, carefully covered
with thin but rather Opaque writing paper,
were four fine watch chains with charms.
These had been sent from Geneva to a local
jewelers. residence, and the work in the
wood in which the chains rested was as
fine and accurate as it could be. Each
chain and charm fitted into its little case
as tightly as possible. in New
York Journal.

DELIGHTS Of Swimming.

Swimming is an athletic exercise that
has not received sufficient attention from
those interested in physical culture for
women. 1t is not only delightful amuse-
ment, but said to be far more valuable in
expanding the chest and developing the
muscles than almost any gymnastic exer-
else that is known. Comparatively few
women, even among those who at the sea-
side enjoy daily bath in the surf, are ex-
pert swimmers. They are entirely at the
mercy of circumstances in case OF sudden
danger. The expert swimmer learns to
be courageous and energetic in the water,
and her skill may be the means OF saving
her own life or other lives. Swimming is
usually taught in large swimming bath,
such as are connected with some gymna-
siums.-New York Tribune.

Extract of Peas.

Here is an excellent method for utilizing
the delicious marrow that lies among the
fibers of the pea pod and which is sweeter
and better than the peas themselves, which,
when of the best sorts and at their best,
are the first of all vegetables for fine flavor,
tenderness, succulence and nutritiousness
Save for use all the tender sweet pulp Of
the shells separated from the troublesome
fiber which prevents their use with the
seeds in most sorts of peas. Boil the shells
we'll in water to which has been added a
little carbonate ofsoda; then strain through
a cloth, and, after adding some sugar to
the liquid, boil it down till thick. The ex-
tract thus obtained will keep for any length
of time without becoming moldy, and a
teaspoonful of it added to bowl of soup
gives to it the flavor of fresh green peas,
besides adding to its material quality

If Profitable Up North why Not in the
South?

In speaking of figs, Professor Gustav
Eisen, in the last issue Of California, has
the following to say:
Gigs can be used in great many
ways. Dried, canned or packed they
bring from 6 to Is cents pound, accord
ing to quality, and there appears to be
an almost unlimited market for what we
can raise. Fresh figs can be canned or
made into marmalade, jelly, jams or
other preserves, and will sell we'll in
countries where figs do not grow. In
other words, the larger part of the
United States is our market and can be
made to be so with little effort. Some
fig orchards in this, our San Joaquin
valley, have paid or are paying annually
$500 to $3.50 per acre. This alone should
be an inducement for us to engage in
the raising of figs" If the fruit is go
profitable in the San Joaquin valley, it
should prove just as remunerative in
Southern California.

To Prevent Russia Iron Busting.

To prevent Russia or planished iron
from rusting during warm, damp weather
is rather difficult unless the iron is kept
from the air. AS the iron is rapid con-
ductor of heat, the moisture in the air is
liable to be condensed on its surface, which
soon forms rust and so ruins the appear
ance of the iron. Wrapping the iron in
paper or cloth and putting it in dry place
will keep away much of the moisture, but
the safest way is to cover the surface of the
iron with some substance that Is water
proof. If the iron is covered with thin
coat of boiled linseed oil the oil will soon
dry and form a covering, which can be
removed with turpentine when required.
Varnishes of various kinds have been
used for the purpose, and while they will
protect the iron from rust they are difficult
to remove and will show any scratches. A
cheap varnish can be made by adding six
ounces of resin to one gallon of gasoline,
and by scraping' up a small quantity OF
parafi1ne and adding to the above the var
nish will have more body.-Metal Worker.

SYCAMORES IN BLOOM.

Like fame wing'd harps the seed blooms Lie
Amid the shadowy sycamores.
The music oS each leaflets sigh
Thrills them continually,
The small harps Of the sycamores.
Small birds innumerable find rest
And shelter midst the sycamores.
Their songs (of love in a warm soft nest)
Are family echoed east and west
By the red harps O. the sycamores. ~
The dewfall and the starshine make
Amidst the shadowy sycamores
Sweet delicate strains; the gold beams shake
The leaves at morn, and swift awake
The small harps Of the sycamores.
o sweet earth's music everywhere,
Though faint as in the sycamores;
Sweet when buds burst, birds pair;
Sweet when as thus there wave In the air
The red harps of the sycamores.

How One Actress Lives in Summer.

How One Actress Lives in Summer.
''It is the popular notion" said we'll
known actor, ''that theatrical people as
rule have hard time to make both ends
meet during the summer months. This
supposition, however, it is safe to say is
only true in part, for the spendthrift spirit
of earlier days, which has been the staple
of many a pleasant recital, is no longer a
characteristic professional vice. Those
who scatter their money to the winds, and
in consequence spend the heated term in
state of uncomfortable impecuniosity, are
few and far between. There are many Of
the acting guild who have deft fingers and
apt minds for other departments of life's
work, and when their season is ended in
the labor of their choice they turn to those
other employments, and find the rest Of
agreeable change as well as the profits of
honest industry.
"Cases in point are numerous, but l will
tell you of one which is typical. am ac-
quainted with a young actress who during
the stage vacation earns snug income by
turning the bark of the birch tree to dec
orative uses. She makes pictures from the
crude article by cutting outline figures OF
men, women and children and the inferior
animals and pasting them on black card
board, afterward filing in the details with
white lead. The combination produces
pleasing and striking silhouette effect. Diff
ferent hues of the bark are employed in inn
parting contrasting colors to odd pictures.
The bark can be made to produce either
comical or serious effects, according to the
picture maker. Eyes, hair, buttons, etc,
are put in with India ink. The actress
refer to is not only young but pretty, high
ly educated and general favorite as we'll,
and her father is an active member of the
journalistic fraternity. Perhaps I am in
discreet in thus giving her summer secret
away, so will make some amends by with
holding her name" = Philadelphia In
