BACK TO HER SIDE.

creaking through the December
wind, bound westward. As 1t

THE PETTY COURTS.
Episodes Which Occurred Yesterday
Before the Justices.

William Weston, who is employed as
an engineer in the Bryson-Bonebrake
block, appeared before Justice King yes
terday, for arraignment upon the charge
OF disturbing the peace OF Mrs. Julia
Perrine. After being informed of the
charge and his legal rights in the prem
ises, he was ordered to appear for trial on
Wednesday next at 2:30 p. M, until
which time he was released on his own
recognizance in the sum of $40.
A switchman named John Cusick. for
merlv in the employ of the Southern
California railroad company, appeared
before Justice King yesterday and enter
ed his plea OF guilty to the charge OF dis
turbing the peace OF young lady named
Miss Belle Wise, by insulting her while
drunk on Wednesday last. He was or
dered 70 appear for sentence this after
noon, until which time he was released
upon his own recognizances in the sum
of $40.
Yesterday afternoon James Pollard
was arrested by Officer McKeag at his
residence on Darwin avenue, on a war
rant charging him with having assaulted
Charles Hawthorne, a special officer, on
the sixteenth ult. He was taken before
Justice Austin, and after arraignment
ordered to appear for trial on the
eleventh inst; bail being required
meanwhile in the sum OF $40.

w. j. Scanlan.

An always noticeable event during
Mr. Scanlan's Chicago engagement is the
presence of an aged lady of wealth, who
invariably occupies a prominent posi-
tion in the orchestra. She purchases
two seats, but occupies only one, and
just so long as Mr.. Scanlan is advertised
to sing his ''Rose Song" in Shane-na-
Lawn, those two seats are marked off for
her. On two occasions she has been
abroad during Mr.. Scanlan's visit, but
has instructed her maid to supply her
place and receive the rose which
Mr.. Scanlan while singing this beauti-
full gem throws into the audience. This
old lady, so rumor has it, has become
the possessor of thirteen of these roses,
which she has pressed and laid away in
remembrance of Mr.. Scanlan. The
number thirteen worries her, and she is
waiting with almost breathless anxiety
for the 18th of November next, it being
the opening night of Mr.. Scanlan's en-
gagement in Chicago, so that the un-
lucky number may be passed and she
become the possessor of rose number
fourteen

LAST spring seed potatoes were worth
about $3.50 hundred. They were i'm
ported from the east. A couple of young
men near Florence had large supply and
were advised to sell them at this high
price rather than risk the market when
the new crop might come in. Nothing
daunted, these men put in little patch
OF 800 acres of spuds. They are now in
the midst of the harvest. The product is
worth $1.25 per hundred in carload
lots. The shipments must be made
before the results can be stated with
certainty; but three hundred sacks an
acre is not an exceptional yield here if
the land is good and the cultivation has
been thorough. That would be 1925 per
acre, or $4,000 for the crop. That is
not a bad showing.

England; but it might be well for the
English Government to inquire whether
Mortimer was acting in the capacity OF
an attorney for Mr.. Rose, or that
of referee for the English
syndicate? Depraved as Mr.. Nor
timer finds us, it is not GUS
tomary, even in Los Angeles, for gentle
men in a judicial position to be paid for
their decisions.
Now here are two pieces OF Mortl-
mer's work. Colonel Gay lost his 200 per
cent per annum for five years, or 1000
per cent enhancement of his proposed
investments, and the L. J. Rose COM
panv of London (Limited) have not
made cent; but we believe have had
to submit to heavy assessments on
their stock to pull them through.
Their profits have been limited! Out
with Mortimer and all his methods
There are English gentlemen here OF
honor, truthfulness and integrity, with
the confidence and respect of our people,
who, although perhaps not capable OF
quite filling Mortimer's shoes, can fill
his vice-consulate position with perfect
acceptance to the people of this section,
and be an ornament as the representa-,
tive of the Queen.

AN END has been reached in the famous
Breckinridge-Clayton contested election
case in the house. The Democratic
member, of course, loses his seat. In a
house like this, presided over by Gar
Reed, for Republican to claim seat is
about the same thing as to get it. Mr..
Breckenridge rose in his place and told
the house to bring in their findings, that
he knew what they were to be, but that
he would go before the people of his dis
trict next November and have this un-
righteous verdict of a partizan house set
aside. Breckenridge had no more to do
with the assassination of Clayton than
had the man in the moon.

NEVER in the history of the party in
the State can we recall a campaign when
the organization of the Democracy was
more complete than at present. Clubs
are organized in all the wards and pre-
cincts, and there is an esprit de corps

putting up good and popular men for the

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
A City Lady Who Required Proof b Before
Believing.

There recently appeared in the San Francisco
Call, Chronicle, and Examiner, proposition
hitherto unheard of in similar business rela-
tions. 1t was nothing more nor less than an
advertisement in which the Edwin W. Joy
Company, in proof of the curative properties of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, offered for limited
period to submit 1t to the terrific test of "no
cure no pay" Many accepted, and their letters
giving their experience are SO convincing as
TO be almost beyond belief. Here is another,
written under date January 6, 189O:-
DEAR sIRs: l accepted your offer to test the
merits of your vegetable remedy in sick head
aches, and called for bottle and got it. had
been troubled for a long time, and had tried
nearly e everything, with little or no effect; but
Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla acted almost like
magic, and the first bottle relieved me from one
OF the worst cases of sick headache one ever
had. MRS M B. PRICE
16 Prospect Place. San Francisco
=. We will from time to time publish others Of
these letters. 1t is doubtful If any remedy was
ever before successfully submitted to such q
severe yet convincing ordeal.

THE Council is displaying both good
sense and patriotism in the prompt re-
consideration they have taken on the
Terminal railroad company. The devel-
opments about to be made by these en-
terprising people will be of the greatest
benefit to the whole city. The improve
ments to be made will put hundreds of
men to work, will put large sum of
money in circulation at once, will levee
the river bank all along the east side,
and will improve the facilities for
transhipment at San Pedro. Besides
all this there is little doubt that this is
the Pacific coast objective point of a
transcontinental road. The beginning
OF the first real era OF development in
this section took place in 1870 and con-
tinued until 1875. In those years the
Southern Pacific was built. In 1880 the
second great era of progress was inaugu-
rated, when the Santa Fe began to
reach out for this city. This eliminated
in 1885 in the great boom. Now comes
the third transcontinental road aiming
at this city and San Pedro as its objec-
tive point on the Pacific. 1t is the be-
ginning of third era of development
which will eliminate in another boom.
Not a period of wild excitement and
speculation, but a solid progress founded
on the development Of the resources of
the section. 1t will be lasting as well
as rapid.

Two Women Hold Up' a Man.

Shortly after one O'Clock this morn
ing, two women named Carrie Blair and
Maud Silverstein were arrested on Ala
media street by Officers Dugan and
Roberts and taken to the police station,
where they were locked up on
the charge of robbing Henry
Brown. The latter, who had been
drinking with the women in
company with friend named w.
Backman, missed two 500 pieces from
his pocket after he had left them, and in
spite of the fact that he had not the
slightest idea how or when he lost the
money, he charged the women with hav-
ing robbed him.

THE conflict between labor and capital
is assuming very grave aspect. 1t
reminds one of the famous fable of the
stomach and the other members of the
human body, told by the old Roman pa
trician to the populace of the Eternal
city. The interests of labor and capital
are cognate and their relations are of the
most intimate sort. There are rights on
each side which the other must
recognize, or the worst possible
results must follow. The unreasonable
attitude assumed by the hotheaded
strikers has brought together number
of heavy corporations at Pittsburg to
form an anti-strike organization. The
misfortune about labor in this uneven
contest is that in its concrete form it
must eat, and SO must its wives and
children. Capital can bide its time and
wait until labor gets hungry. The wise
course is to consider we'll before a strike
is ordered on. Rash counsel often results
in terrible suffering to labor.
