THERE is nothing like going from
home to learn the news. We clip the
following from an eastern exchange:
One OF the greatest commissions OF ma
ture which has every happened in mod

week converted a large portion OF the
South California desert into an in
land sea, go to 80 miles long and 20 to 40
miles wide. If this proves permanent
it will be great blessing to'that portion
of the state.
We assure our eastern contemporary
that it is off as to the earthquake. We
have surrendered all claims to seismic
specialties to the eastern states, embrac-
ing in that comprehensive designation
all commonwealth east of the Rocky
mountains. In other words, we "ante
and pass the buck" on earthquakes, and
take eubdued back seat after the per-
formance at Charleston, South Carolina.
The Salton sea is simply harmless lit

disposition to take drink in California.

horticultural department that he has
lost all interest in the matter. For our
part we feel indignant that perfectly
competent man from our own city to
conduct the department with signal
success should have been bounded out
of the position by a lot of SANDER
mongers and pin-headed marplots. 1t
would have been worth millions of
dollars to the interests of this section of
the state to have had at the head of the
department of horticulture the gentle
man knocked out by these birds OF evil
omen who foul their own nest. That
they were able to do so, and were backed
in their unsavory work by some people
in this city who are generally considered
liberal and level-headed, is one of the
most wonderful developments of this
wonderful episode. No wonder that the
position has ceased to interest our peo-
pie generally. We had our opportunity
and lost it. And yet discriminating
smallpox or other epidemic will not
come along and strike in upon and
carry to their congenial pesthouse the
men who delight in injuring their own
locality so as to crafty their ill-condi-
toned and malevolent natures.

WE ARE assured by one who knows
that the account we published yesterday
of Assessor Hinton's tax-grab at the
Security bank is true as to the very nov
ell manner of making the collection, but
at fault as to the amount nipped. In
stead of grabbing $24O0 out of the tray
of coin, he only took $500. If this way
OF collecting taxes should come into
general vogue, it may develop curious
and interesting collateral phases. Some
assessors might have greater grasp OF
fist than others and get away with a
surplus over the exact amount due the
public treasury. Then others might
practice the tax business for personal
pocket reasons. We confess that
this prompt and arbitrary mode OF
collecting taxes from banks has, at first
sight, sort OF train-robbery look to us.
But when we come to think over it, and
to remember that the law authorizes
the assessor to summarily seize mer-
chants goods to satisfy a demand for
personal property tax, we do not see
that it is any worse to make summary
grab upon a bankers exposed cash.
Goods are the merchants stock in trade.
Money is the bankers. One should not
be held, in the eyes of the law, more
sacred than the other. Assessor Hinton
has made discovery that will bear

lures on Various Topics-Dr. Henson's
Lecture a Great Success.

The attendance at the Long Beach
Chautauqua assembly is daily augment
ed by new arrivals.
Yesterday the programme was partic-
ularly enjoyable to the participants. In
the regular class work there is little to
be reported, as the lesson. in Bible
teaching, art, music, elocution and pho
tography go steadily on to the satisfac-
ton OF teachers and pupils.
In the teachers retreat the lesson
yesterday was upon Manual Training,
with Prof. G. G. Swofford of Hanna COL
lege as the instructor. The lesson was
interesting and enjoyable to the teach
ers present.
G. E. Piatt is going ahead rapidly
with his class in photography, proving
the wisdom OF the management in add
ing this new department to the course OF
study.
Mrs. Sophie Knight had very large
class to listen to her exposition of the
proper method of making mullins, waf-
fles and gems, and those who had an
opportunity of sampling the product OF
the dignifed lady's skillful fingers will
always indorse the recipes she furnishes
with her lectures.
Rev. w. H. Withrow spoke upon the
Catacombs of Rome in the morning,
and Doctor P. S. Henson delivered his
popular lecture upon Money, in the
evening. His lecture upon Fools had
been so we'll received, and proved so ex-
cellent, that the Tabernacle was scarcely
able to hold the crowd which turned out
to hear him last night. His ideas upon
money were decidedly original, and
were much enjoyed. His humor
can be appreciated by all
and young and old alike turn out to
hear him. He is to speak next Monday
evening in Los Angeles at. the First
Baptist church. His subject then will
be Backbone, which is considered DR..
Henson's best lecture, as it is also his
latest.
Today's programme includes lecture
upon The Mission of IngersoH, by DIR. 1.
D. Driver, in the morning, while in the
evening, in place of the lecture on the
programme Rev. Manly Benson will re-
peat his lecture, Men Wanted, by re-
quest of many who heard it during the

The people of San Diego are justly
indignant at the murderous assaults
made upon liberty-men of the crew Of
the Charleston. One of the sailors was
killed in resisting the assault of the
self-constitated deputy marshals, who
we've armed with clubs. 1t does not
detfact from the indignation which this
murder excites that these pseudo-oficers
clubbed the sailors in an effort to arrest
them and deliver them to the officers of
the Charleston at the rate OF $40 a
head, the standing reward for the re-
turn OF man-of-war's men to their ves-
sells when they have overstaid their
leave and become constructively desert
ers. These fellows were earning blood
money, sure enough; and it is to be
hoped that they will now receive such
punishment as their dastardly conduct
deserves.

or woman in the entire party, except
members of the family, and they con-

music was furnished by Martin Knoll, a

| 1t is bowling success. That is, the
gallery howls and the stage managers
causes most of the success, while the
parquet and dress circle people show
more than their usual enthusiasm in
applauding when the Limited Mail rolls
across the stage.
The play, the Limited Mail, which
was given at the opera house last even
ing, is composed OF creepy music, relent-
less villains, a distressed maiden, an
honest lover and the other usual con-
comitants of the penny dreadful
melodrama, but for all its mer-
etriciousness of plot and lines,
! it is production which pleases, be-
cause of some very clever specialties,
and some novel and we'll devised
mechanical effects. The comedy vein
which runs we'll through the affair is
excellently worked, and the appearance
and dancing of Miss Sherwood, who
plays the heroine, are such as to win
liberal recognition by the audience.
Harry Blaney, as Jim Harland, does a
really excellent bit OF acting, and mixes
in his work some acrobatic work of
high order. The company as whole
are not brilliant actors, but the piece
was given well enough to call forth some
of the most earnest applause ever heard
in the opera house.
There were a great many railroad
men noticed in the audience.
Superintendent j. A. Muir Of the
Southern Pacific said Jim Harland
would make model railroad man.
General Manager Wade of the South
ern California was ready to give Barney
O'Reagan job as trainmaster on the
Ballona trunk line.
Tom McCaffery wished that all the
operators in the Southern Pacific train
dispatcher's room were like Nellie Har-
land.
Mr.. J. M. Crawley admired the
promptness with which Zeke Harland
gave Tombstone Jake his ticket.
S. B. Hynes of the Southern Califor-
MIA wished he could charter that vesti-
bule train for an excursion to San Diego.
Bob Hamilton declared that he
handled the lightning in Floodwood cut
forty years ago.
Paymaster Holterhoff, of the South
ern California, figured up the Redwood
station pay roll from the dress circle.
William Wincup, of the Terminal,
tried to make excursion rates from
Pasadena to Redwood station.
Attorney r.,E. Gibbon, of the Term

A LADY ASSAULTED.
AN OUTRAGE ATTEMPTED BY A
BOLD RUFFIAN.
ing, on Orange Street, Near Pearl-She
Was Attacked While with Two Friends

On Wednesday evening at 8 80 o'clock
a shocking occurrence took place in this
city. The narration of the bare details
will cause women who are obliged to be
out at night to shudder. Fortunately
such events happen but rarely in this
city.
On the ove-mentioned evening three
ladies living near Westlake park attend
ed the services at the Swedish church..
When on their way to their house on
Orange street, short distance beyond
Pearl street, one of the ladies was set.
upon and thrown violently to the ground
by brute who attempted to outrage
her person. The two other ladies as
soon as they recovered from the fright
and shock, screamed out at the top OF
their voices. This had the desired
effect as the blackguard ceased in his
fendish endeavors and rushed off, fear
ing arrest.
One OF the ladies claims that she can
identify the man and describes him as
follows He is about 5 feet inches
tall, heavy set and rather dark. This is
all the description any of the women
can give as they were too excited and
| frightened to make closer observation,
so the chances of ever landing the brute
in the penitentiary where he belong s
are very slim.
At the request OF the ladies their
names are withheld, as they do not wish
to obtain the unenviable notoriety at
taching to the publication of this un-
fortunate happening. The lady whom
the assault was made upon had so far
recovered from her shock as to come
down town last evening, and told the
matter to several friends.
1t would seem to be good opportu-
nifty for the police to do some work. The
capture of the scoundrel would be re-
ceived with applause by every man in
| the CITY.

AFTER great struggle and many year.

AFTER great struggle and many years
of waiting the wine-growers OF this
country have at last got through con-
gress bill permitting the vineyardists
to fortify their sweet wines with
brandy produced from their own grapes.
One would think that such law, sim
pie in its terms, would be equally simple
in its practical carrying out. But the
internal revenue bureau at first SO sur
rounded the fortifcation with depart
mental restrictions that it was found
altogether impossible for the vineyard
lists to avail themselves OF the benefits
of the act. 1t required that every vine-
yard should be provided with fortifica-
tion room built on bonded-warehouse
plans, and that the wines should be
put up in glass and stamped by the
gauger. There were other restrictions
of the most arbitrary character and go
onerous that the wine men made very
loud demand for their modification.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has at last consented to certain modif-
cations, but the rules are still 80 numer-
ous, stringent and .harrassing that the
wine makers will be apt TO call for fur

The constitutional party in Chile

The constitutional party in Chile
has received very extensive consign-
ments of arms and munitions from Eu-
rope, and its army is now rapidly in
creasing in numbers and effectiveness.
There are few people in the United
States, outside OF Harrison and his ad-
ministration, who are not in sympathy
with the so-called insurgents. The in
stincts of humanity are against the
usurping tyrant, who mutilates his
prisoners and throws helpless women
into dungeons. The dictator who has
suppressed every vestige of liberty
within the lines of his army is not that
kind of a ruler the average American
warns to, however much be may be ad-
mired by the little-big statesmen who,
for the time being are at the head of
affairs in Washington.
