DOESN'T WANT THEM.
Charley Miller Objects TO Residing
sunday School Papers.

Miller, the boy murderer, is impatieutly
waiting for the goth of March. He is
sending and receiving letters every day
from his brothers and sisters. One of his
brothers has been sending him a Sunday
school paper. Miller wrote to him not to
send any more as he did not read them
and it was too much trouble to send them
back.
He has also been roasting his guardian
in New York for spending so much money
on him. He tells him that if he keeps on
sending money the lawyers will get it all
and what he has he wants left to his
brothers and sisters. Miller writes a good
hand and a very good letter. He does
not seem to fear his fate as he writes in a
jocular manner. He told his brother in a
letter to answer soon as he had not much
more time left.

thirty days in the county Jail by a justice

THE WHITE SCALE.
1t Makes It's Appearance in Orange
County Orchards.


The appearance Of white scale at Gar
den Grove, as mentioned in these col
umns last week, gives rise to very &C.
rious matter regarding the citrus indus
try in this valley. We have never had
a visitation of this dreaded enemy of the
orange. 1t is more ravenous than the
red scale. and possibly more destructive
than all the other scale pests put to-
gether. Our immunity in the past has
been piece of rare good fortune. We
must guard against this pest by prompt
and vigorous measures. Notwithstand-
ing the infested trees were promptly
chopped down and burned, it is possible
that patches of this scale may be found
in other places in the valley in the usual
unaccountable way. Let our ofchardists
keep vigilant watch for the pest, and
knock his eye out as soon as he appears.
The horticultural commissioners should
send Immediately for colony of the We
dolia cardinals, to be kept for an emer-
gency. 1t is hardly necessary to chop
down good orange trees if they have q
little white scale upon them. Place the
parasites on the trees; the scale will dis
appear in short order.-[Anaheim Ga

Los ANGELES TENNIS CLUB.

FIourishing Condition.
Contrary to the erroneous idea held
by some few persons, the Los Angeles
Tennis club is now in more flourish
ing condition than ever before. The
fact that the club members carried away
all the valuable prizes from both the
Redondo and Santa Monica tourna-
ments has awakened new interest in
this most fascinating outdoor sport, and
the courts at Ninth and Pearl streets are
used every afternoon by many athletic
Young men and graceful young ladies'.
The ladies have the free use of the
courts every morning and Tuesday and
Friday afternoons The kindly interest
shown by the old members for the ladies
and to the newer players tends to build
up the social side of the club and pro-
notes the best of harmony.
The club is free from debt, the club
house affords ample accommodations for
the members, the courts are in splendid
condition, and several new men are de-
veloping into strong players. The reg
ular monthly tournament begins next
Saturday.

When married man falls in love
with his pretty sister-in-law he ought to
use all possible prudence, but then, it
appears from recent incident, is when
he has least of that useful article A
we'll known business man, whose head
quarters are not more than mile from
the corner of Spring and First streets,
through careessness under such circum-
stances, is in peck of trouble, his BUSH
ness is likely to be ruined, and his wife
is procuring divorce solely on account
of his stupidity and faithlessness.
The man has a beautiful wife, who
has a still more beautiful sister only
about II years old. A few months ago
the girl came from her eastern home to
pay her married sister a visit, and at
once Mr.. Younghuspand made up his
mind that he had married the wrong
girl. The wife did not suspect anything
wrong. and encouraged her husband in
his efforts to entertain the sister, who
apparently appreciated them and was in
for good time.
A few days ago the girl told her sister
that she was invited to spend the night
with a girl friend on Washington street.
and off she went at about O'Clock to
make the visit. Mr.. Younghusband
before leaving the house that morning
for business, had told his wife that he
would have to spend the night at Santa
Ana, but still no suspicion of anything
wrong crossed the wife's mind.
Mr.. Younghusband and the girl met
in the afternoon, aud taking horse
and buggy drove to suburban hotel.
Mr.. Younghusband had never before
travelled with any woman except his
wife, SO when he came to register, from
force of habit he wrote "Mr. Young
husband and wife,"
The couple had rafting good supper
and retired to the privacy of their room.
The next morning the girl returned
home and told what a good time she
had at her girl friends. And at dinner
time Mr.. Younghusband turned up; he
had had terribly tiresome trip to
Santa Ana; so glad to get back; let's
have dinner my dear how lovely you
look this evening, ETC., etc.
All would have gone well but for that
stupid mistake of registering. The
HERALD has a correspondent who sends
in news notes from the place where the
hotel is located, and ne often lnciuoes
in his budget the names of the people
he finds on the hotel register. He did
80 in this case. The very next morning
Mrs. Younghusband read that she and
her husband had spent the night before
together at that place. Then there was
war. The sister, after storm OF accu-
sations and rage, confessed and was
bundled out OF the house. The hus-
band, when he came home in response
to a message sent by messenger boy,
tarried but moment and then fled. A
lawyer was sent for, and as result the
old Harry is to pay, and the husband
will have to foot the bill. The affair, OF
course, leaked out among mutual
friends, and the result was that the
weak, erring, pretty girl has dlsap-
peared. She was ashamed to go to her
home, and her fate is unknown.
There is whole lot of moral to this
story, which the reader can draw to
suit.

ON TIE FIGHT.
SAN DIEGO AFTER THE SCALP OF
THE SANTA FE.
The Sun Advocates Six Million Dollar
Suit The Views of Other Papers.
Some Expressions of Opinions by
Officials.

Los Angeles has forbidden the Santa
Fe railroad, at the peril of its local bust
ness, to do anything in favor Of San
Diego which can be avoided or conferred
instead upon herself; and the Santa Fe,
thinking itself secure in its monopoly
here, and DESTROYS of getting share OF
the Los Angeles traffic, has complied.
This leaves San Diego two alternatives.
One is to lie down and take the medicine
which rival city has brewed. The
other is to retaliate by an action to re-
cover the 100000 Santa F6 subsidy,
by giving local business to the Southern
Pacific, and by building, at county and
city expense. railroad to the nearest
Southern Pacific connection within
county limits. San Diego Sun.
:. We have not the slightest
confidence in the ability OF any one to

strong enough, and, of course, verbal
promises count for naught as against
the written nstrument.-Nationa City

The above excerpts show the feeling
in San Diego against the Santa Fe com
pany because that company will mo-
move its general offices from Los Ange

The fight against the road is viewet
with amusement by many of the oficial
here. They claim that they have treat
ed that place all right; that they have
violated no agreement. One of then
said yesterday: 81 understand that it il
claimed that Mr.. Kimball, of Nationa
City, has an agreement which binds ou
company to keep the offices there. |
that is the case why is it not trotteC
out2 We are sick of all this row, anC
as far as the road is concerned it woult
be better off if we stopped operating the
line down there and make the people
present of the line. There is nothing il
any agreement that forces us to do wha
these people wish, and | don't believe
that all their kicking will be of any re

1t is easy to see that the quarrel is {
hot one and will possibly cause loss t.
each side.
