WHAT THE BARBER SAID.

This is what Sle barber SAID,
When he st me in the chair:
For he nearly talked me dead,
While lie raked my visaga bare
Vainly striving to protest.
For he would not let Inc 81 oak,
With his knee upon my che {,
And his razor in my cheek.
'Boston's won the pennant, ell?
Arson must be off his base;
Still he hadn't ought to kick
Long as he got second place.
Wonder If they'll play maLca
With the ISOLATION team?'--
This is what the barber said,
Base ball was the opening theme.
"Rather sad about parnelI2---
Didn't think he'd die so quick?
All the Irish praise him now .,"a
That's the way---it makes me sick,
First they hound him to the grave
Then they talk OF him and weep"
This is what the barber said,
While / simulated sleep.
"Fassctt's having lots to say,
Going round upon the stump;
Shouldn't wonder ifyou'd see
Flower and Sheehan get the dumpl
Seems q case of boss and boss
When you speak OF Hill and Platt---"
This is what the barber said.
As he jabbered through his hat.
| Other things he might have said,
But was unconscious then,
| And although he woke me up,
pretended sleep again.
| Force of habit makes him talk,
Even when he shaves the dead---
Happy corpse that can not hear,
Nor suffer what the barber said.

France, the best sewing machines of the world,
including those of America, were in competition.
They were passed upon by jury composed Of

NO Liquor Allowed to Be Sold on tht

NO Liquor Allowed to BE Sold on the
al State Capitol Grounds.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 8.-Attorney- Gen
eral Hart today rendered an opinion at
the request of Assemblyman Bledsoe,
as to the legality of the maintenance of
a place within the capitol building or on
the grounds, where liquors are sold or
given away. He says, after quoting the
provisions of the statutes and codes,
From the foregoing conclude that the
secretary of state has charge of the cap
itol building and grounds; that if, as
such, he allows said capitol building, or
any portion thereof, to be used for the
distribution in any manner (either by
gift or otherwise, for profit) of any malt
or spirituous liquors, he will be guilty
OF misdemeanor and subject to a
fine of $1,000. Any person, who
in the state capitol, or within
the limits of the grounds belonging
thereto, sells, gives away, or exposes for
sale, any vinous or alcoholic liquors, is
guilty of misdemeanor. The secretary
OF state has no right to rent or give the
privilege to any person to do any of
these acts or things prohibited by the
penal code.
In answer to your second proposition.
I I will say that the people have reserved
to themselves (the legislature) all pow
ers not relinquished by the provisions OF
the constitution, therefore the legisla-
ture can pass any resolution or law it
may deem proper, provided such action
does not conflict with the state constitu-
tion and the constitution of the United
States, or the treaties made by congress
Hereunder.

EDITORS HERALD: The city is wide

removal OF the postoAice and county di-
vision are the main topics on the streets.
Last night an immense audience met
in the opera house for the discussion OF

addressed the meeting, bringing facts

necessity to this side OF the county to
form Pomona county," and they have
their plans well formed to bring about
the much desired result.
Today large meeting was held to de-
termine on making change in the post
Office location. Many OF the business
people say they favor it's being
''moved into the town Of Pomona" AS
it is now, it is at the extreme end. of the
business street east. The prospect is
now that it will be removed to near the
center OF the business part of town.
The brick block of Bartlett, Wright and
Osgoodby is up to the second story, and
the work is being pushed with great
vigor. There will be three handsome
stores when finished.
What might have been serious acci-
dent happened about 10 O'Clock this
forenoon. While Mr.. Ellis was timing
the roof of the Bartlett building he lost
his balance and fell over the east side Of
the building, striking, the roof of the
| Central hotel. He was picked up in
sensible, but after time recovered con-
| sciouaness, and in few hours was
at his post at work, receiving no injury,
but If ho had been . few feet nearer the.
front he would have fallen on the pave
ment below.

The Adventures of Phillips in Bay'n-
Climate-He Nets Five Hundred Dollars
But is Caught in This City.

1t appears that the man S. Phillips.
arrested by Detective Bosqui on Tuesday
at the Southern Pacific depot, played
the cashier OF the Bank OF Commerce in
San Diego to the extent OF $3.50. Before
coming up here he paraded that city and
Coronado, posing as capitalist. On
Monday he purchased the residence of
Q. f. Kamman, across the bay, and was
to leave at once for his family at Bur-
bank, California, where he had for
years been in the furniture business.
His wife's health was not good, and San
Diego climate was just what he had
been seeking for years. He would also
increase San Diego's population by
bringing his mother-in-law and three
young Phillipses. He told Kamman
that to bind the bargain he would advance
500, and the two went to the Bank of
Commerce to get receipt for the money.
Phillips produced a check signed by the
president and secretary and counter
signed by the Burbank Furniture and
Manufacturing company, drawn on the
Southern California bank of this city.
all right, and Phillips was duly credited

He then made a check for 800 and
handed the amount to Mr.. Kamman. The
two then went to see about insuring the
property and finally separated for the
day.
In.the afternoon Cashier Long became
suspicious and visited Mr.. Kamman and
said that Phillips had just drawn $3.50
and he was not at all satisfied with the
appearance Of things.
A telegram was sent to the Los Angeles
bank at once. The reply received
stated that there were no checks out
signed by the Burbank furniture compa-
ny, but that number of blank checks
had been stolen from the company.
On the same day that Phillips bought
Mr.. Kamman's house he agreed to pur-
chase the residence of j. M. LEM, the
contract price being $500. The same
trick was played on Mr.. Fox, the agent
who conducted the negotiations, for $3.50
cash, to be used as expense money.
Phillips is now in the county Jail at

THE MORTGAGE TAX.
One Who Advocated it Wants the Law
Repealed.

|
EDITORS HERALD II am one of the
many who believe with you, as expressed
in your editorial of the 9th instant, that
the law imposing a tax upon mortgages
has outlived its usefulness. By pro-
cess of gradual conversion / have more
over become one of those who believe
that if the law has served any useful
purpose in the past, it has been the dis
sipation of an illusion in the school of
experience. was among those who ad-
vocated the measure upon the rostrum
and through the press when twas strug-
Cling for recognition. I believed then
that it would be very beneficial if erected
into law, and fancied that saw where
in it would lift great load from shoul-
ders of the needy and place it upon
shoulders more capable of sustaining
the. burden. Therein Twas mistaken as
were all those who fought the same
fight. Brought into everyday in
tercourse with - the operation
OF this law, after decade
l find it an evil. and nothing but an evil
In experience its effect is the exact op-
posite of its promise by theoretical inter-
probation. 4.a
The law had beneficent purpose in
prohibiting the borrower from contract
ing away his Immunity from paving the
mortgage tax; but it did not fix a maxi
mum rate of interest, and hence the
prohibition determined nothing. The
borrower has understood from the first
that the II per cent. exacted of him
means 8 per cent. net, and bows to the
! necessity.
The law had further an economic pur-
pose in seeking to tax the capital in
vested in mortgages to the whole amount
of such Investment; but here again it
has failed, for should the mortgaged
land be assessed at a sum less than the
amount OF the mortgage debt-a very
frequent occurrence-the overplus of the
latter cannot be taxed.
Itfollows, therefore, that neither does
the mortgage pay the tax, or any part of
it, nor can the law reach the amount of
the mortgage investment, but only so
much thereof as is represented by the
assessed value of the encountered prop
erty; that every dollar of the tax so
paid comes out OF the pocket of the bor-
rover by simple process OF indirection,
and that the law now stands as most
ludicrous illustration of glittering the
ory shattered by collision with the dry
facts of experience. Thus, while wholly
without merit in experience, it stands a
menace to investment by creating two
fold lien upon the security.
1t ought not to be suffered to stand for
an hour longer than the time necessary
to repeal it, now that it is weighed and
found wanting. ID,
