OLD SLEUTH VESTRESS
Receives a Warning from a Really
Truly Detective.

During the recent fire on Fifth street
a youth named John Dempsey, who occu-
pied one of the burnt out rooms, lost the
sum of $135, which was in his trunk.
This money was subsequently found
by a boy, who placed it in
the hands of friend named Hans
Cook for safe keeping, with the under
standing that when Dempsey offered
suitable reward fol his lost savings, the
money should be handed over to him
and that the reward should be divided
equally among them. The smart boy
who devised this scheme confded it to
some of his juvenile friends, and the re-
suit was that it soon became public
property. Among others who learned
of it was j. L. Vestress, barber, whose
ambition scars to the dizzy heights
attained by cold Sleuth.'' "Hawk-
shawe," and other kindred lights, who
shine to such advantage in dime detec-
tive stories. This amateur Vidocq at
once proceeded to turn his knowledge to
his own advantage by calling upon Cook
and representing himeslf to be detec-
tive, demanding the money. The boy
from whom Cook had received it, having
borrowed $15 of it, the balance $12O was
turned over to Vestress, who in turn
gave it to Dempsey.
A few days ago Vestress again called
upon Cook, at the residence of his uncle
e. p. Wolfrung, at 442 Ducommon
street, and threatened the whole family
with all sorts of dire punishments, un-
less the fifteen dollars balance was i'm
mediately forthcoming. Mrs. Wolfrung,
an old lady, tainted away at the blood
curdling threats of the detective, and
terrible scene ensued. Finally the
Wolfrung family called at the
police station and interviewed
Detective Wallin on the sub
ject. After hearing the old mans
story the officer read the riot act to Mr..
Vestress; and in future it is more than
likely that detective, in calling at the
Wolfrung residence, will have. to pro-
duce his authority for so doing or re-
celve warmer welcome than he bar
gains for.

A SEASIDE TRAGEDY.
A WIFE AT LONG BEACH FORCED TO
SEE HER HUSBAND DROWN.
Mr.. John Downs, of Rivers de, the Victim
of the Ocean-Narrow Escape of Other
Bathers-Mrs. Downs Witnesses. the
Dreadful Scene.

On Saturday afternoon Mr.. John
Downs of Riverside was drowned at
Long Beach under peculiarly distressing
circumstances. He was bathing in the
surf with young lady friend, and
thoughtlessly waded cut with the reced-
ing tide until both he and his compan-
ion found themselves being carried out
beyond their depths. They at once
attempted to retrace their steps, but
owing to the strong current which was
then running and the heavy breakers
which were rolling in at the time, they
did not make much progress. After
fighting the waves for some minutes, a
large breaker struck them, and to his
companions horror, Mr.. Downs relaxed
his hold upon her, as the seething water
closed over them. and when she came to
the surface, lie had disappeared COM
pletely.
The young lady struggled gamely
towards the shore, and managed to at
tract the attention of young man
named Buckhinster. who was bathing
some distance away. He at once went
out to her rescue, and attempted to
bring her in, but finding his efforts to
fight against the current to be unavail-
ing, he kept the young lady afoat and
ceased to waste his strength. By signs
and shouts the attention of some fisher
men on the beach was attracted, and
they at once put out in a boat and res
cued the couple from their perilous stu
alton. Both were almost completely
exhausted, but were speedily restored on
their return to shore. The boat was
then launched again, and, after short
search, Downs body was recovered.
Coroner Weldon was notified and held an
inquest, which resulted in verdict OF
accidental drowning.
Mrs. Downs, who had recently re-
covered from a severe illness, was on
a visit to Long Beach for the benefit OF
her health, and was rapidly regaining
her strength under the soothing in
fiuence of the balmy sea-breeze, wit
messed the sad accident from buggy, in
which she was driving along the beach,
but was unable to render any assistance
to her drowning husband or his COM
panion. The horror of her situation, as
her husband disappeared before her
eyes in the whirling waters, cannot be
fully realized, much less described. The
sad blow completely prostrated her, and
owing to the feeble condition of her
health, grave fears are entertained as
to the result of the tragedy

He Commands the Respect of All.

The Democratic party, in nominating
E. B. Pond of San Francisco for gov
ernor, has probably put at the head of
its ticket its strongest man. There is
this assurance given by the nomination
of gentlemen named that the campaign
contest between the leaders will be one
of cleanliness. In fact we can
not conceive of any reason
why it should not be conducted upon
the same line, so far as all candidates
are concerned. That the contest will be
one calculated to call into play the best
energies of the two great political organ
izations, there can be no manner of
doubt. We shall have a warm and
energetic, but, we believe, manly
campaign.
With the nomination OF Mr.. Pond the
Democracy has every reason to be salts
fed; it's representative body at San Jose
was certainly moved by wisdom and
dominated by sound sense in making
the selection it did. Personally, Mr..
Pond commands the respect of all who
know him, and should he be selected
the people can be assured, so far as past
career can guarantee future one, that
they will have an upright executive and
an able one.-[ Sacramento Record

The Perfect PhYsician.

The physician should be strong and
healthy man, master of his profession,
of course, and a gentleman the last
word implying gentle manners and a
fine sense of honor. His approach to
the sick chamber should be like ''foot-
steps upon WOOL" and his presence
therein benediction. Strong in his
knowledge, firm, but gentle even
magnetic in his sympathies,
discreet of speech, sincere in
counsel, he would always inspire not
only the relatives but the patient with
confidence and gratitude. ii the case
were not serious the loss OF prospective
fees would not prevent his mingling his
sincere pleasure with that of the rela-
tives if it were past hope his sympathy

"Punch'' to The Gar,

Punch of the 9th of August has car
toon by Tenniel which has done more
to excite British sympathy for the Rus
sian Jews and British dislike of the Gar
than all the lurid epithets and furious
denunciation of Swinburne's over
strained verse published in the current
number of the Fortnightly Reuiew
Punch represents the Ghost of the Pha-
raohs warning the Gar against
drawing the sword of per-
secution. 1t is entitled, "From
the Nile to Neva" A stanza
from the companion verses explains the
purpose Of the drawings
o Muscovite, blind in your wrath, with your
heel on the Israelite's neck
And your hand on that baleful old blade, Per-
secution, 'twere wisdom to reck
The Pharaoh's calm warning. Beware! Lo, the
Pyramids pierce the gray bloom
OF desert that is but a waste, by river that is
but a tomb,
Yet the Hebrew abides and is strong Amene-
man is gone to the ghosts,
He the Prince of the Coptic police who so har-
ried the lsraelte hosts.
When their lives with hard bondage were bitter.
And now bitter bondage you'd try.
Prescription and exile, and stern deprivation,
Beware sire! Put by
That blade in its blOod-ruSted scabbard The
Pharaohs, the Caesars have found
That it wounds him who wields it; and you,
though your victim there, prone on the
ground,
Look helpless and hopeless you also shall find
Persecution a bane
Which shall lead to Red Sea Of blood to DER
Z whelm selfish Tyranny's train.

would make the terrible affiiction
easier to bear. Would it be impertinent
to ask how many American members OF
noble profession satisfy these require
ments? The medical profession
in America abounds with COM
petent and honorable men satisfy
ing some of them. Some have the
knowledge and experience without the
more graceful qualities. Others have
the social accomplishments without the
scientific requirements. 1t is better to
have honesty and ability united even
with degree of rudeness, tnan to have
all the social graces in the world with
out the necessary skill. A doctor may
be bear in manners, yet, if he keeps
death from the door, his attentions can
not only be tolerated, but gracefully
accepted. .-[Contemporary Review.

The HERALD has received the report
of the Historical Society of Southern
California for 1890. tits aneat brochure,
and is full of interesting matter.
Amongst other things it contains con-
tinuation of Mr.. Albert f. Kerchevals IS
paper on st. Vedalia "a new and poetic
designation for the Australian lady bug)
and several contributions from Professor
j. M. Quinn and others. The pamphlet
will well repay a perusal. That the
society is an active one is shown by the
report of the committee on publication,
which states that, during the past year,
eighteen papers were read before it and
that five hundred pamphlets were pub
lished and circulated. One of the
marked features of the publication is an
article, by Rev. Jose Adam, on ''rhe

We give place elsewhere to some sug-
gestions from Mr.. VIM. A. Ryan advis
ing a Democratic organization in Los
Angeles patterned upon that OF Sar
Francisco. To all of which we pray
sGood Lord deliver u.s." The Golden
Gate has right to its perfect machin-
cry. The HERALD begs to file a caveat
to any infringement of the lovely San
Francisco patent. The Democrats OF the
metropolis invented it and it would be
cruel to trench upon their rights. We
will add that the people of Los Angeles
are not yet prepared for that kind of a
machine" and we doubt if they ever
will be. The very essence of Democracy
is that local initiative which we do not
believe the Democrats of Los Angeles
will ever surrender.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-01

THE idea steadily grows that with a
good local ticket the Democracy will
win in Los Angeles county. To enable
them to do this, however, the advice of
the leading Democratic clubs of this city
should be taken, that the elections ought
to be called under the state law. The
county central committee will probably
adopt this suggestion. To make it effec-
tual, however, the penal provisions of
the law should be embodied in the call.
Only on the idea that we shall have hon
est elections can Democratic victory
be relied upon. A mere party name
counts for little in these local contests.

THE indications are multiplying that
a transcontinental railway is behind the
movements of which the Messrs. Hobart
and Burnett are the figure heads, and that
railway building on considerable scale
will be noted here very shortly. The
Hon. Jeff Chandler, who is heavily
interested in these movements, will be
here in few days, and we shall then
doubtless hear more OF the new project.
We observe that Mr.. Chandler has been
talking some excellent Democracy to
the people of the state of Washington, a
speech of his delivered at Tacoma being
brimful of point and instruction on the
issues of the day.
