A Remarkable Cure.

Mrs. Charles Hart, of Amityville, Suffolk
county, N Y, writes as follows OF the remark
able cure of peculiar pain in her back: -~
-Four years ago was attacked with a severe
pain in the spine, close to the small of my
back It was especially painful going up OF
and consulting half dozen physicians without
any benefit, my husband applied one ALLcocK Is
Porous PLASTER directly over the seat of pain.
l kept it on a week and fancied was a little
better. then put on a fresh one. At the end
of a week my husband noticed that the plaster
was putfed up in the middle. Upon taking 1t
off, a hole about the size of quill was found,
which discharged yellow matter very freely:
Another plaster was put on with a good-sized
hole in the centre of it, to enable the matter to
escape The plaster appeared to draw with
great power, and the discharge increased every
twenty-four hours little. At least pint of
matter was discharged from the wound before
got entirely WE'LL which was exactly five
weeks from the time put the first plaster on
| used altogether eleven plasters, and thanks
to them, have not since had an ache or pain
in my back"

THE HERALD was jeered at by its
local contemporaries in fine style when
it announced several weeks ago that the
Southern Pacific railroad company had
concluded to extend it's road to the Santa
Monica canon, where they can reach
deep water with 300-foot wharf, and
where Point Dune offers fine oppor-
tunity to build cheap breakwater to
make a secure harbor. The company
are now taking initial steps in the work
of extending their road along the very
route the HERALD had mapped out. Our
neighbors have been badly scooped, and
are chewing over the bitter lesson that
the HERALD is always right.

Mr.. L. j. ROSE sends US communi-
cation on the subject of his intended
sale Of Rosemeade and the thorough
bred stock he has gathered together
there. The people OF Los Angeles ought
to be able to keep this valuable breeding
farm here. There is nothing like it in
the United States. The stock has strains
of all the best blood that has ever graced
the turf in Europe or America. Why
not organize joint-stock company, and
see if the shares will not be taken here.
It ought to be possible to place $4,000
in this county in so inviting business

SENATOR FARwELL's pet scheme to
produce rain by explosions of dynamite
from balloons and kites in the air is re-
ceiving black eye from the people
living in the vicinity of the Morris
ranch, Texas, from which point the ex-
periments have been made. 1t seems
that the rain-producing expedition had
made arrangements to send out their
own reports to the press OF the country,
and therefore had special re-
porter with them for that pur-
pose. This enterprising fellow sent
unprepaid dispatches to the news
papers everywhere, asking them
if they wanted specials about the rain
producing experiments. He sent one to
the HERALD which we refused to accept.
1t now appears that the reports sent out
by this reporter about the great rains
produced by the experiment were mis-
leading. Heavy rains did fall shortly
after the time the experiments were
made, and the rain-makers, through the
dispatches sent out, took the credit to
themselves of producing the storm.
The people in the vicinity of Morris
ranch, who have been closely watching
the proceedings OF the raln-makers,
do not believe that the rainfall
was produced by them, and say that it
was lightest at the point where the ex-
periments were made, but increased in
intensity with distance from the rain
making center. They intimate that the
expedition did not undertake any SER
ious experiments until the signal SER
vice predictions made it probable that a
rain storm was impending, and then,
through their reporter. sent out dis
patches taking credit for pro-
ducing it. But the people OF
Morris ranch and the neighborhood
are particularly incensed at the
impression sent broadcast through the
country by the dispatches from the ex-
pedition that they had selected for ex-
perimental purposes the driest and most
rainless part of Texas. The Texas peo-
pie in that vicinity declare that this
assertion is false, and that their section
has not suffered from drouth, nor is it
subject to drouths. Senator Farwell
will either have to show that he has not
been victimized by the rain projectors,
or that the facts of the experiments are

ton to pursue him on the mail count,
and was told that it was not. Is the
motive of this arrest mileage or the vim
dication OF justice? Girard is, Of course,
a friendless creature; but as he went to
work to earn an honest living after he
arrived here, and was presumably try
ing to reform, he is at least entitled to a
fair chance of doing so, without being
subject to harrassing persecution.

falsified by the Morris ranch people.
AS he led congress into appropriating
the money to pay for the experiments,
the country is entitled to know the
truth about them.

Frederick the Great a Believer In the
Power Of the Press.
The fact that Frederick the Great Of
Prussia was on active journalist and a
mighty believer in the mission and the
! power of the press has been brought to
general attention curiously enough just
in these days when Emperor William
III. is speaking OF the newspaper men
Of his Empire as candidates for starva-
tion," and 'demoralized high-school
graduates" y
Frederick the Great, says the Chicago
Post, was the first Hohenzollern who
made energetic use Of the rather weak
German press TO strengthen him and
justify his measures in the eyes Of his
own and other peoples He chose two
ways Of creating the public opinion he
thought he deserved. Sometimes be
sent the outlines of articles or directions
as to how they should be drawn TO his
diplomatic agents abroad, with instruc-
tions that they should see to their pub
lication in English, Dutch and Ham
burg papers. In this case he always
read what was published, and II he
found a bit Of slipshod condensing or
careless elaboration, corrected the poor
work with his own hand and forwarded
the marked sheet TO the unsl1illful diplo-
mat who was at fault. At other times,
and especially when military matters
were In question, the great sovereign
wrote with his own hand the copy that
went to the printer in tho Office OF
the daily selected for his correspond
ence. Many such autograph articles in
time Of peace were sent abroad for
anonymous publication, under the
supervision Of discreet representatives
OF the King. Other articles appeared
in Germany, us, for instance, "The
Letters OF an Eye-Witness, which were
written by Frederick during the first
two Silesian wars and were published
in the Spencer zeitung. So also in Fred
ericlS's private papers wero found
numerous directions In his handwriting
TO the effect that this or that essay,
sketch or report should be sent TO the
press. There Is still In existence this
letter from the Cabinet Secretary Eichel
to Count Finckenstein in Berlin:
"At the command Of the King send
you the last Of the journal OF the last
campaign in order that you may com
municate the same to the foreign min
listers and mako II generally known
through the medium Of the press. See
also that the Cyprinn trader probably
an agent for Constantinoplc) gets two
or three copies Of a paper containing
the matter"
The close Of tho Journal was. in fact,
given out for publication from Dresden
four days after the writing Of this let
ter and appeared In the Bcrliner Mach
richten. Similar instances abound in
Fredericl's record during the seven
years war. Then, too, he wrote ON his
own and his country's behalf and
watched carefully all phases Of public
opinion at home and abroad with aview
TO meeting as much as possible Of the
opposition through the columns OF the
papers at his service.
