A FOOLISH YOUNG MAN.
A TALE OF RETRIBUTION FROM
SAN BERNARDINO.
The Result of Having Too Big a Mouth
and Too Little Judgment-An Evening
Drive and Rawhide Whip.

One of San Bernardiuo's gay and festive
society young men has been missed
from the heated city for about week
past. His sudden departure caused
some comment, but as to the exact rea-
son for his hssty exit to some other
cline, but few knew the cause. The
gay Lothario conducts a cigar and
tobacco business in the largest town In
San Bernardino county, and is noted for
being somewhat of lady's man. He
often boasted openly of the many con-
quests he made with the gentle sex I;
while giving one of his stories a few
evenings since, the name of one of the
best known and most handsome
women in town was men
toned, when the young fellow
made remarks not at all complimentary
to the lady in question, who is propri-
etress of one of the leading hotels in
San B ernardino. The statements OF the
cigar dealer came to the ears OF the
lady, who made up her mind to teach
the fellow lesson. She set trap, and
it worked to charm. The fellow was in
vited by the assaulted lady to accompany
her on drive ON last Wednesday even
ing. OF course, the invitation was read
lily accepted, and at the appointed hour
the dude was promptly on hand, but
how little did he know what was in
store for him. The party drove out on
the Arrowhead road about four miles,
when suddenly the lady pretended she
had dropped her gloves from the vehicle.
| Her escort, who was ever on the alert
| to be obliging, Immediately alighted
from the buggy to find the supposed
missing articles. He had no sooner
left his seat than he felt the
effects of raw-hide which the WON an
had concealed under her cloak, over his
face, head and shoulders. He was stag
gered for moment and begged for
mercy, but the blows descended hard
and quickly and the blood poured down
his face in torrents. He tried to climb
back into the carriage, when the lady
finished her planned programme by
hastily whipping up the animal and
leaving the individual who had received
his just deserts to return to San Bernar-
dino the best way he could.
He had to walk back, and it is safe to
say he chose the dark streets to get to
his apartments. His injuries were Of
such a serious nature that he appar.
emily thought he could not give salts
factory excuse for having his head look
ing like mutilated tomato, and conse.
quently left San Bernardino for repairs
until he could make halfway natural
appearance. He is now "rusticating'
in San Diego, and that is the reason he
has not been seen around his accus
toned quarters for week past.

A Big Yield.

G. H. Bullock, of Mortified, Mimi,
has obtained 1870 bushels of potatoes
from one acre of land. This is said to
be by far the largest yield ever known,
300 bushels being usually considered a
big crop. That the 1,120 bushels were
all raised on one acre of ground is sworn
to by number of Trustworthy people Of
the vicinity. Mr.. Bullock will net 1886
for his product, nearly all clear gain
Last year he would have made 5000 off
the same yield, as the price of potatoes
was high then. The farmers in the
vicinity are considering these figures
and thinking of potatoes a good DEAL

1t seems there was one incident of the
recent attack on Fishers Island not down
on the bill. 1t had been arranged that
the invading force should in due season
capture the island, and directions had
been given accordingly, but no one had
thought to mention the fact to the great
bull that lords it over the pasture where
the struggle occurred. When he saw
that there was danger Of losing the island
he lowered his horns and raised his tail
and charged upon the combatants, rout-
ing the hospital corps and threatening
to clean out the whole army.-Hartford

Helm Int DON'T Coerce.

To help nature in its efforts to throw OIL the
trammels of disease is, of course, the legitimate
method of medication This method is, unfor-
tunately too often diverged from and help
pei verted into coercion. Drastic, excessive
purging is undoubtedly the most frequent form
of coercion of this sort The bowels are forced
literally wrenched into action. OF course this
is accompanied with much gripping pain, and
succeeded by exhaustion, when leaves tne
organs of evacuation in state Incompatible
with subsequent regularity and activity. The
last state of that man or woman who uses dras-
tic cathartics for constipation IS declaedly
worse than the first. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is the finest laxative in existence, since 1T
produces the needful but no abnormal action,
is progressive, not abrupt, in operation, and
strengthens instead OF weakening the organs
upon which it acts. Use it for malarial Kid
ney, rheumatic and dyspepuc ailments.

THE WATER COMPANY.
A Rumor That an Interest in 1t Has
Been Sold.

A Rumor That an Interest in 1t Has
Been Sold.
1t is said that a controlling interest OF
the Los Angeles City Water company
has been, or is about to be sold to a
syndicate of eastern capitalists. The
purposes OF the buyers are not known,
but il is surmised that they intend to
inaugurate development OF the prop
erty.
The city council some weeks ago asked
the city attorney to Investigate the
water supply of the company, with
view of ascertaining whether the city
has any claim to the water which comes
from Crystal Springs. 1t is claimed by
some that this water is from the Los
Angeles river, and therefore the prop
erty OF the city; if it is an independent
source of supply, it is of course the
company's property, and makes it inde-
pendent of the city's water in the Los
Angeles river. Mr.. Mcfarland has as
yet made no report on the matter.

A HUSTLER MANAGER HUSTLED
Bud the Crocer's Boy Bests Manager
Davis,

Lee Harrison was a member of the
Hustler" company; he played Bud"
the grocer's boy, but because he
thrashed Manager Davis of that COM
pany on the Saturday nights perform
ance at the opera house last week he is
no longer with the company.
Harrison, it seems, knocked vase off
a table on the stage and it was broken.
Manager Davis argued the matter very
forcibly and found it necessary to use
some forcible explosives, to which Har-
rison replied by an upper cut which
closed a managerial optic. Davis an
swered in kind and the neatest kind ola
sparring match was under way, when
Comedian Kernell came on the stage.
He Immediately, as is his custom, took
the center, the combatants being by
him placed and |, respectively.
Davis was groggy, while Harrison was
still fresh-too fresh, Mr.. Davis thought,
for on recovering his wind, the manager
discharged the actor, or the actor re-
signed it is hard to tell which came un-
der the wire first, the act was done so
quickly.

Mrs Samuel Mutt OF South Haven, Kansas,
tells how she saved the life of her boy.
81 have been using ALLcocK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS for the last ten years, principally for
weak back. Not long ago found nv son very
much inclined to Group. He had 9 bad croupy
cough and a wheeling sound in his lungs
every time he breathed. He nearly died from
the obstruction of the throat. I covered him
from the throat to the pit of the stomach with
ALLCoGK's POROUS PLAsTERs. In two hours the
cough ceased, and his breathing was much
easier. In few days he was entirely well. l
kept the ALLcocK's POROUS PLAsTERs on him
six days. Since then, whenever he is affected
with colds in the throat, never use anything
but an ALLcocK,s Porous PLASTER, which
cures him Immediately, without any incon-
venience They are the best preventive of
the Group ever known, and / would not be
without them for any consideration

Boy Robbers in France.

There has just been discovered near
Nogent-sur-Marne band of boy rob

burglarious confederation is a youth of
fourteen named Vincent Legrand He
was captured in field, and gave in
formation about his companions, who
were arrested by the gendarmes as they
were preparing to enter their cave. Two

POSTAL MATTERS.
A Change in the Delivery of the City
Mail

Mail.
Acting Postmaster Harvey j. Shout
ters has inaugurated an improvement
in the delivery OF city mail, commencing
today. Heretofore letter mail on the
overland arriving at p. M, also on the
San Francisco express arriving at 2:30
p. M, has not been delivered in the
business part of the city until $50 p.
M, and in the residence portion until
s a. m. the following morning. By Sc
curing new city directories and adopt
ing an improved system of entering or
ders, it has been found possible to dis
pense with the services of one directory
clerk, who is now sent out to meet the
overland at San Bernardino, bringing
in all letters distributed for delivery.
This gives the office distributor time
to work the San Francisco letter mail
and have it ready also, so that when
trains are on time the entire mail will
be in the hands of the people within
three hours after its arrival in the city.
Another improvement brought about by
this is that the morning San Francisco
mail, which has heretofore been dellv-
cred on the outskirts of the city before
it was in the business part, will now
reach the business men in time to an
swer their correspondence on the train
leaving at 80 pm. By Encouragement
of the schedule, business carriers will
now leave at am. instead OF 10,
taking this mail out with them. I'm
provements in the collecting of mail
from street letter boxes are to be made,
by which close connection with the Ell
Paso express will be had.

The danger from Cold Drinks.


Gin my opinion" said physician,
sit is not SO great mistake to indulge
in cold drinks in warm weather as it is
to drink them rapidly On hot day it
is almost inevitable that people should
drink, and what the system seems to
crave is something cold. If that some
thing could be a little less than ice cold
it would be so much the better. But it
is practically out of the question to get a
drink of temperature of 40 or 40 degs.,
say, which is about as cold as is neces-
sary in order to meet the demands Of
nature.
$50, then, ice cold drinks are likely to
remain permanency, and thousands
and thousands of people will continue to
drink them. Now, what should advise
is that they perform the operation with
some elaboration. The man who swal-
lows glass of soda water or anything
else at temperature of 80 or thereabout
does dangerous thing. The danger is
in suddenly chilling the nerves of the
stomach, and the result may be sudden
paralysis. There is neither sense nor
reason in drinking thus rapidly.
81 do not mean, on the other hand,
that it is necessary to wait until the
drink, whatever it is, has grown warm.
What plead for is that people should
take fifteen or twenty seconds, or even
half minut@ in swallowing glass Of
soda or beer or whatever they use to sat
isfy their thirst. Everybody can afford
+Lo+ ,,o,,oI, +irna-axyan tba most h11rt.i or
man-and the result cannot fail to bt
decidedly advantageous in the long run.

EDITORS HERALD: l see by your
issue of today that Clara S. Brown has
taken up cudgels for the Women's Press
association, and l desire to add few
words to her statements and take up
what you term the ''main point of criti-
cism against the association, which is
the use of the word press
Contrary to your assertion, the associ
alton does number many women who
earn their living by their pens in the
different branches of newspaper and
editorial work. There is hardly a
woman in the state that is connected
with newspaper in any capacity but
is member of the association, as may
be seen by reference to the printed
membership list. Some of the MEM
bers regret that the association has
taken so wide range and admitted
those who are not dependent on their
pens for livelihood, but the error was
made from generous motives and cannot
lower the standard of the association,
though it may not be to the pecuniary
advantages of the other members.
The women of the Pacific coast are an
earnest band of workers, but they do
not claim infallibility. am member
of that association and also OF the Cali
fornia and Southern California Editorial
associations, and consider it but just to
refute the ISLANDERS which have been di-
rected toward the women who, while
endeavoring to better their own condi-
tions and obtain better recognition of
their work, are also displaying enough
interest in the affairs of the general pub
lie to wish to add their mite toward up
lifting the standard of morality and
honesty. In all these endeavors their
brothers of the press, to say nothing of
their own sex, should be proud to assist
such an organization by vituperation
and sarcasm.

A Dilettant.

Can you recall an ode to June
Or lines to any river

And see the moonbeamS quiver2"
I've heard such songs to many tune,
But never yet-no niver-
Have l ever escaped that rhyme to June"
Or missed that rhyme to river"

a moments respite saatches,
The while his overcudgeled brain
At some new jingle catches;
Yet long from the unlucky moon
Himself he cannot sever.
But grasps once more that rhyme to June, "
And seeks a rhyme to river"
Then let no Incidence be blamed

By stunning burdens rightly named
For reader and for poet,
For rhymes must fail him late or soon,
Nor can he deal forever
In words whose sound resembles June"
And assonant5 Of river"

And 'stiver" sounded "stivver,"

How douhly blest the giyer,
Who gave him one rhyme more for June"
And one more rhyme for ''river.'
