The Thanksgiving Desert.

Ladies' Home Journal.
The desert of Thanksgiving din
ner which, if properly managed, can
be made the most attractive feature of
the dinner, should be arranged with
skill and good taste. Arrange the
various fruits on high glass dishes,
decorate them with all abundance of
lovely fresh leaves, and have them
placed on the table from the COM
mencemeat of the meal. These, with
the addition ofplenty of carefully Sc
lected flowers placed in small vases
end mixed freely with some delicate
ferns, will impart most dainty and
artistic appearance to the whole.

The Child's Need of Sympathy.

The child demands sympathy, COM
partnership, love. Here also the in
stinct of the higher quadrupeds
shows in a touching way the same
demand. The dogs desire, even more
pressing than the desire of food, and
often displacing it, is to be with his
master. If his master is within doors,
the dog wishes to lie at his
feet; if he goes TO another room,
the dog must go also, and establish
himself there; if he goes forth to
walk or ride, the four-footed friend
bounds along in bliss, overjoyed to
traverse miles of country which he
would never visit alone. An occe
sional friendly word contents him;
but without companionship he can do
nothing. Strange that we recognize
this instinct in the animal, and often
ignore it in the child! Every
child needs companionship; to have
some one tn whom every little joy
may be impaired. Some of the most
conscientious and devoted parents
who have ever lived have been those
who never kissed their children, and
the same habit OF repression still
shows itself in some households in
regard to all communications with
the young. A woman of genius, not
now living, once told me that she did
not know how to tell time by the
clock until she was eighteen, because
her father had undertaken to ex-
plain it to her when she was
twelve, and she was afraid to let him
know that she had failed to compre-
bend him. Yet she said that he had
never in his life spoken to her one
harsh word. 1t was simply the atti-
tude of cold repression that froze her.
A fter his death she wrote to me:
ellis heart was pure-snd terrible;
I think that there was not another
like it on earth" On this point fear
that she was mistaken, and that the
race of such parents surylyes.-T. w.

Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-05

In reply to the above we have simply
to say that if any instance has ever oc-
Cured here where an honest mechanic
or poor laborer has either been arrested
or committed to the chain gang solely
to obtain the fees allowed for making
the arrest or simply because he is out
of work, it has not come to our atten-
'tion, and we have no doubt that if such an
arrest should be made, not only would
our proper courts promptly release the
party thus injured, but would sum-
marily punish any officer guilty OF such
an outrage.
The evident object of injecting such
statements and Misrepresentation as
the above, as well as the divorce statis-
tics next hereafter quoted, into a con-
sular report, is TO create the impression
in the minds of Europeans that civili-
zation and society in general here is
most crude. We regret indeed that the
eminent consul should have attempted
to convey such an impression.
On page "a of the report occurs the
following
Gone hundred and seventy-two divorces
were granted by the superior court in
Los Angeles county during 1889, an in
crease of fifty-nine on the number
granted in 1888. Although the activity
of the divorce court is sign OF depres-
sion in business, cannot say it is an
infallible one, etc1'
In what manner business should be
materially affected by the activity of the
divorce course is not pointed out, and 80
far we have been unable to ascertain /;
the depression thus caused, however,
may have been somewhat relieved by
virtue of the fact that 1,201 marriage
licenses were issued by the clerk of the
same court during the same period.
Therefore,
Resolved, That we should have had
just cause for complaint if the report
had merely published injurious truths
while emitting beneficial truths, but
Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-05

when in addition injurious falsifications
have been published and this great mass
of favorable facts been omitted. we call
for redress by the removal of Vice Con-
sui G. White Mortimer, or the substitu-
ton of some person as vice consul at
this place who shall see and report the
facts as. they exist.
Rescued, That copy of these reso-
lutionSsand statements be forwarded
through the proper channel to the gov
ernment of Great Britain, to the British
minister at Washington, and to James
u. Blaine, secretary of state.

San Bernardino Liquor Sellers and Their
Cases.

Mr.. G. Dorami, of San Bernardino,
was tried in the United States district
courtyesterday on charge of 'selling
liquor to Indians. The testimony
showed that the liquor had been sold ac-
cording to the complaint, but the prose-
cution could not prove that the pur-
chasers were Indians technically; that
is, within the jurisdiction of an Indian
agent. Judge Ross accordingly in
structed the jury to acquit.
Mr.. Johnson of San Bernardino,
charged with the same offense who was
convicted some days ago, was sentenced
yesterday to two months imprison-

MORTIMER'S REPORT.
The Chamber Of Commerce
Dissects Its FalsehOOds.
Cold Facts Quoted to Show the
Vice ConsuFs Malignity.
Her Gracious Majesty's Representa-
tive Put In Big Hole.
H Is Shown By Irrefragable Logic to Be
Wrong From A to lizard, With Big
Mass of Figures to Prove It.

Vice-Consul G. White Mortimer of
this city, in recent report to the Eng
lish government, made some statements
which if true, would be damaging to
this section, and which, if not con-
tradicted, might be taken for true. The
chamber of commerce took the matter
in hand, and the following is the reply
of the committee appointed for the pur-
pose. 1t places Mr.. Mortimer in very
unpleasant light in this community,
and one would think it might call for
some action on the part of his govern
ment.
WHEREAS The attention of this body
has recently been called to the British
Foreign Office report of 1889, of the con-
sular districts of Los Angeles and Will
mington, prepared by theBritish Vice
Consul, G. White Mortimer, stationed
at this place; and
WHEREAS: Said report contains SO
many palpable errors, misrepresentation
false, inconsistent and contradictory
statements and conclusions, detrimental
to said district, and evidently made
either through ignorance or prejudice ;
and
milarly misrepresented in previous re-
poIIS culaid1lilS iOih tiic oaiilO oOulOO,
and
WHEREAS: This body feels, that in
justice to our citizens, the public in
general, and the true merits of this Sec
ton, it cannot again permit these mis-
representations to 60 forth to the world
uncontradicted; and
WHEREAS Some of the statements
and misrepresentation and their cor
rections are as follows. to wit:
On page "a of the report occurs the
following:
'The assessed value of the city and
county of Los Angeles was in 1883 21,-
500, 900 ib ($107 100000 In 1889, 49,
700, 900 ib 1898, $780, ,000.)
The facts are:
The assessed value of the city and
county OF Los Angeles was in 1888 Is,
400, 900 ib 1892, 100000 1889, S,729,
2l7 lb 1898, ,646 ,0S6,) an increase over
1888 of 329, ,217 lb ($1 ,646, ,0S6,) and over
1887 (the boom year, of l ,240 ,632 ib or &c.,
203, 1853.
On page 36 of the report occurs the
following:
"Owing partly to the lack of harbor
facilities, and partly to the fact that
there is as yet nothing here for export
by sea, the imports for Los Angeles are
entered at San Diego, San Francisco,
New Orleans and New York, and brought
here by rail-.
The facts, as per report OF the collector
of the Port of Wilmington (San Pedro)
for the year December 1st, 1888, to
December ST 1880 are.
