A Britisher's Demands on the Affable

"The Fakir" in the Banning Herald

Apropos OF the Holenbeck, the other
day wealthy and ultra-English guest
said to Wassman, the bland clerk: II

have them sent to your room," said
Wassman. mo. demme, | want 'em
here" said the Englishman. This put
Waesman in a terrible funk. He
cculdn't think what in the world the
Briton wanted with covers down there
in the office; but he don't know
much about Englishmen anyway, and
not wanting to offend the guest, he
touched the bell for "Front," and said,
$50 to the housekeeper and geta couple
of blankets for Mr.. Liverpool" The
Englishman came near falling off his
feet, and glared at "Wass," as if he
thought he was an escaped lunatic. He
finally calculated, ''Ah, you knaw, /
don't want any blankets, 1 want
couple of covers-thst is, what you
beastly Americans call envelopes. I be-
lieye." Wassman called the boy back,
and sat down and deeply reflected on
the many curious things that come in
the way of hotel clerk.

days Meeting.
The board of public works yesterday
adopted the following recommendations,
which will be presented to council on
Monday:
In the matter of the protest against
grading Boston street, we have ques-
toned J. G. Birdsall as to whether he
held any authorization to sign the pro-
test, and he admitted that he had none,
but had telegraphed for such authority.

test be denied and final ordinance pass.
We recommend that the petition from
H. Richmond for permission to maintain
a watering trough on the northeast cor
ner of Seventh and San Pedro streets
be granted.
Recommend that petitions for cross
walk be filed, the same having been
ordered.
On the petition from A. E. Clarke
ct al, for council to order Ohio street
graded, graveled and a cement sidewalk
four feet wide laid ON the same between
the north side OF Second street and
south side OF Court street, to be done
under provisions OF part Of the gen.
eral street law, we recommend that the
city engineer present estimate of cost,
and, if the same be in excess of 50 per
front foot, to also present ordinance of
intention.
Recommend that petitions relating to
storm water that may converge at
Eighteenth and Cherry streets be re-
ferred to the street uperintendent.

DEFIANCE TO FRANCE.
The Pope About To Decorate the Arch
bishop of AK.


bishop of AK.
RoME, Dec. 26.-A prominent news
paper says it is the intention of the
pope to confer the grand order of the
cross OF Christ upon the archbishop of
AK as token of the sympathy of his
holiness with the archbishop in the lat
ter's recent conviction and fine for
writing an insulting letter to the French
minister OF public worship. Should
this information prove correct, it means
that the pope bids defiance to the
French government, and that serious
outcome may be anticipated in the near
future.
from Rome that the pope intends to
confer the grand order of the cross OF
Christ upon the rchbishop of AK. In
q movement is on foot to separate
church and state, as one of the results
of the archbishop of Axis conduct, sup
ported by letter and sayings of other
distinguished prelates, such step upon
the part Of the vatican is significant.
1t will be looked upon here, should the
news prove correct, as defiance upon
the part OF the pope to the government
OI CulS country. anu lilc Ieply vi tlio
French government may not be slow in
forthcoming. The archbishop of Bor-
deaux, it will be remembered, made
common cause with III. Gouthe Sou
lard in Il diocesan letter which he ad-
dressed to all the Catholics in France.
In this letter the chbishop defended
the right of members Of the episcopate
to JOIN in pilgrimages to Rome. Ac-
cording to this prelate, the archbishop
of AK, when he wrote as he did, was
not prompted by a wish to fight, but
was simply overcome by disgust.

Associated Press Dispatches.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 26.--An artillery
detachment of the First regiment of
state troops left here early this morning
en- route for the house where the Sims
party was fortified in Cheretaw county,
Ala. Sheriff Gavin, on Christmas morn-
ing, sent to Bladon Springs for a cannon.
When Sims heard of this preparation
to blow his stronghold to splinters, he
looked at his women folks and his heart
misgave him. He began to party with
the sheriff. At 2 o'clock he said he
would surrender if the posse would do
him no injury, and if the posse would
protect him from mob violence.
A meeting OF the posse was held
which lasted two hours. There
was great excitement, and much divers
ity Of opinion. At first the proposal of
Sims was fatty refused, but the fact
that there were women in the house was
strong point in favor of mercy to the
inmates. The thought of shooting with a
cannon into house harboring women
was so repugnant that it overcame al
most the wild longing for the blood of
the men outlaws, SO at last the terms of
Sims were accepted.
At 4 80 Sims and his men laid down
their arms and came out of the house.
The posse were astonished to see that
instead of seven desperate outlaws,
there were only two men and
boy-Bob Sims, Thomas Savage and
young Savage, nephew of Sims; four
women--Bob's wife and three daugh
ters-came out also. The men were at
once ironed and put in wagon, and the
women placed in second wagon, under
guard. At 6 O'Clock the procession
started for Butler, the county seat of
Cheretaw county.
While the posse in charge of the party
were en- route to Butler last night, a
mob of Cheretaw county men over
powered the guard and hanged the three
men, Bob Sims, Tom Savage and young
Savage. II is reported that another OF
the Savage boys was hanged at the same
time. This is in addition to John Saw
age hanged on Christmas eve.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-Contradictory sto-
ries are received here regarding the
Grand Duke Sergius, brother of the
sxar, who was last spring appointed
governor OF Moscow. At the beginning
of the present month it was said the
grand duke was making himself very
unpopular by his efforts to suppress
fraudulent practices growing out OF the
corruption for which the Russian official
world is notorious. The fact that he
has interfered with the stealing OF fam
inc money caused him to be very unpopu-
lar with certain members OF the wealthy
and influential class, who are doing their
utmost to secure his removal from
Office. Advices received today state that
the czar suspects his brotherot nursing
ambitious designs" though the nature
of the designs in a country where all So
cial and political honors emanate from
the czar, is not stated. 1t is added that
the czar has been SO impressed by the
array of evidence presented to him
against the grand duke that it is his in
tentlon to send him into exile.
The wife of the grand duke is a daugh-
ter of Grand Duke Louis of Hesse and a
granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She
recently abandoned the religious faith
in which she was trained. and in
April last formally joined the
Greek church. 1t is charged in
some quarters that the conversion OF
the grand duchess was not the result OF
a free change in her religious belief, but
due to moral sussion OF very brutal
kind. This statement was semi officially
denied at the time, but the fact remains
that she at one time was so disgusted
with her husband that she was with
difficulty restrained from leaving him.
1t is said the czar interposed his good
Offices to prevent the scandal tEat would
have follow ed the separation.

How a Fresno Grower Beat the
Buyers.

Buyers.
Fresno Expositor: A new chapter
has been added to the history OF selling
raisins In this country, and it may lead
to good results to the growers. A man
with only ten acres Of vines broke the
barrier between the producer and con-
sumer, and, although it was bold un-
dertaking for man of so small vine-
yard, yet it worked 80 we'll that he
cleared cents pound for his entire
crop, without stemming or grading.
N. Chigren, who lives in Washing
ton colony, is the man. His ten acres
Of vines are small possession in CON-
parison with some others in this county,
but he was determined to realize come
thing on his crop, or know the reason
why.
When the buyers came around they
offered him 4 - cents for the best
raisins, and from that down to nothing
Then the commission merchants offered
him 2 cents down, and the rest when
the raisins should be sold.
'How much will the rest be ?'' he
asked. The commission men said they
couldn't tell. Then he asked when the
rest would be paid him. They could
not answer that either. He at once re-
fused to sell on such terms.
But he came to Fresno. bought $16
worth of clean sacks. packed his raisins
in them just as they came out of the
sweat boxes, chartered car for 1886
for Minneapolis, loaded his crop OF
raisns and started them. Then he
bought ticket for $44 for Minneapolis,
and with two or three small packages
of raisins as samples, he set out.
He arrived in Minneapolis three days
ahead OF his car. With the little boxes
of samples he went to a wholesale gro
cery and asked to sell his carload. They
examined the samples and said:
IA. ."If your carload of raisins are as good
as these samples we will give you cents
pound"
In three days the car arrived, and the
raisins were found up to the samples.
The sale was made. Mr.. Chilgren re-
turned to Fresno, paid all costs and ex-
penses to Minneapolis, and had cents
a pound clear for his crop.
Before leaving Minneapolis the mer-
chant to whom he sold, said to him:
Next year if your raisins are as good
as these, ship them to me. You need
not come. 1 will take them"
Mr.. Chigren is pleased with his sue
sess. 1t was quite an undertaking and
bold move, but he made success OF
it. 1t is lesson for raisin men to think
over; no doubt they are thinking in
that direction already.

an attempt last night to kill Sheriff
Eastdale and escape, but were pre-
