A steamboat line will begin running IN
lew weeks between Chattanooga,
Tenn, and st. Louis, Mo. TIE business
men OF Chattanooga are delighted at the
prospect, which means reduction in
freights to that point. Within fiftce
days Sl9oo-each were subscribed by 107
OF Chattanooga's citizens as a guarantee
fund. The trip of the steamer Herbert
few months since over the same route,
made in tho interest of Chattanooga
merchants, demonstrated tho entire feast
bility of the scheme, as the Mussel Saoal
Canal made the wors. part of the river
navigable, and below that the voyage
was perfectly easy.

Alois Wirth, of Rochester, \. Y, has
If late been the cause Of grave concern
ot certain professional mea in that city,
whose occupation seems 70 be threatened
" the success achieved By Mr.. Wlrth in
Eases where the re yular school treatmaat
WAS far from satisfactory. His ordinary
occupation is that OF sdoemlkiug, bat
the sphere in which he is making a sen

1t appears that Mr.. WIrth WAS in the
army Of France, AMI while carrying
,hassepot rifle had numerous opportuni'
lies, wnich he improved, to learn some
hing about the anatomy OF the human
form divine. He became skilful in re.
iucing fractures and rains, an it is by
exercise of his art IN this latter direction
that he is now making sensation here.
Several instances are cite in which
he is reported to have afforded almost
instant relief to sufferers from sprains,
who were undergoing the usual treat.
ment by surgeons of good standing and
were making but slow progress toward
rCCONcIJ.
One of his patients was laly who
had been in bed for four weeks suffering
from a sprain, anu seemed destined to
remain there much longer. She was per
suaded to try Wirth's treatment, and
under his manipulation the ptin was re-
moved, and the limb so successfully re.
stored to its normal condition that in a
few minutes she stood up and walked
away without difficulty. Another
woman who had suffered excessively
from a sprain submitted to his treatment,
and in twenty-five minutes was surprised
to find herself in perfect command Of hei
limb.
Mr.. Wirth, when asked recently how
long he had been practicing his art, he
replied: "Well, l think about thirty
years. First, practised fifteen years in
France, but could take no fec there,

Suicide Statistics.

The grim subject of suicide Is CON-
stantly being forced upon the attention
of New Workers. The uaily papers FREE
quently report as many rs dozen cases
OF suicide or attempted suicide within
twenty fours hours and the num-
Der of reported cases by no means
represent the number Of cases that
occur. There Is law on the
statute books which makes attempted
suicide felony. On referring to statis-
tics find that the maximum rate Of
suicides in New York during the last
eighty years was in 1903 when there was
one suicide to every 3017 inhabitants.
The minimum ratio was in 1864, when
there was one suicide in every %, ,S27
inhabitants. The largest number OF
suicides among males occurred between
the ages of thirty-fve and forty, and
among females between thirty and thirty
Eve. About one-third OF the whole
number of suicides use poison. .-Nes

A Fading Race.

The recently completed census OF the
Sandwich Islands shows the same decline
iu the population that has been mani
tested in the past. When the islands
were first discovered, In 1878, by Cap
tain Cook, he estimated the population
at 100000. The frat official census was
taken more than fifty years afterward,
and showed population then of $780,
513. In 1853 there were but II, ,019;
and the present number Is S4,436. In
less than sixty years the population has
been reduced seventy-ave per cent.
Some have laid this decrease to the
decimating wars that have ragged on the
islands; Others to the vices that civiliza-
ton has imported, But whatever be the
true cause Of the decline Of population,
the fact is most remarkable one.

Names OF Children In Germany.

The German Minister OF the Interior,
acting under orders from Emperor Will

giving of political names in baptism.
The only illegal names in the future are
to be those taken from the characters in
the Bible, from princes, or famous states
men, generals and patriots. 1t has long
been a practice among the Socialists to
give their children the names of dema.
gogues and revolutionists. This practice

A GAME OF CONGRESSIONAL THIMBLE-
RIG.

There are few people of Los Angeles or
elsewhere who can point to any good
which General Vandever has done to the
district which he represents in thescon>
gress Of the United States. AS far as
relates to the needs OF his immediate
constituents he has been lamentable
failure. If the most partial Judgment of
his friends and partizans can designate
anything even having what, in the
phrase of law, is known as "colorable"
pretence of service to those who elected
him, the HERALD would be most happy
to have it pointed out. While he has
been of no account to the people who
sent him to congress, his name occa-
sionally pops up in advocacy of schemes
which have money as supposable in
centive to congressional effort. First
and most conspicuous in his efforts in
the line Of exploiting way for adven-
turers, was his break for the acquisition
of Lower California by the United
States. The most interesting feature of
this congressional job is that the people
of the United States do not want Lower
California, the Republic of Mexico
does not wish to sell Lower California,
and could not sell it if she would, pro-
vision of the Mexican constitution pre-
venting the alienation of an inch of
Mexican territory, the people of Califor-
MIA, outside of the repndiated Water
man and the repudiated Vande-
yer, don't want Lower Califor-
MIA, and the people of Lower
California don't want to be annexed
to the Republic of the United States.
Nevertheless, a small proportion of the
sparse population around Ensenada,
mainly Englishmen, desire to mix up
the United States in an annexation
Los Angeles herald., 1891-02-12

THOSE who have been conversantwith
the workings of the affair have believed
for long time that the most unscrnpu-
lous and dangerous gang OF rascals in
the world, outside of the actually Grim
inal classes, was probably to be found
inside the infamous whisky ring OF the
east. The account of an attempt to
blow up an anti-ring distillery, in Chi
cago, details of which may be found in
our teleg,ams this morning, goa long
way to confirm this impression. No
such diabolical plot has heretofore
been unearthed in this country. The
turning of Gibson loose on bail, under
the circumstances, is peculiar. The re-
marks OF members OF the ring are in the
very line of explanations usually re-
sorted to by the guilty. If the story is
untrue. it is unfortunate for the whisky
gang, that the world will be SO prone to
credit it.

ELSEWHERE we publish series OF res
olutions on the subject OF county, tiis
vision adopted by a mass meeting of the
people Of Pomona on Tuesday, night.
These resolutions evince curious phase
OF the Pomona mind. They protest en-
crgetically against any opposition on the
part OF the people OF Los Angeles to di-
vision as an impertinent interference
with a matter that does not concern
them. This is a very strange attitude
forour neighbors to take. Surely, in a
question OF this kind, threatening the
dismemberment of our county, we have
the right to take issue with the division
lists. live do so in fair and legitimate
manner who can call us to account? The
HERALD has opposed division on the
ground that we believe it is premature
and for economic reasons which our
judgment approved. We are not of those
who would wish to hold q people
yoked to US against their will; but there
are reasons we consider vahd which
justify the postponement of the further
dismemberinent OF our county. Los An
geles would be satisfied if measure
were presented which would create a
new county out of our present territory
in a compact state to form city and
county, with a single government out OF
the remainder: But the present measure
leaves us too much for that purpose and
yet not enough for the creation of an
other county outside of the limits that
would enable us to make a compact city
and county. 's

THE OUTFALL SEWER.
The City Cnncil Consider the Phases
of the Matter

OF the Matter.
The committee of the whole OF the
city council met at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon to discuss the subject OF an
outfall sewer to the ocean. All of the
members of the council were present and
Mr.. Tufts was called to the chair. The
meeting was an informal affair, the OBJ
ject being to discuss the well-worn topic
of a sewer to the sea, and to recommence
agitation for the building of such a
sewer.
I Several gentlemen who own lands in
the direction of Redondo appeared be-
fore the committee, including Dan. Free.
man, of the Centinela, III. w. Vail, OF
the Redondo Land company. and
w. w. Howard, of Bixby and
Howard. Mr.. Freeman owns 10000
acres OF land in the direction the sewer
would take, including two miles of water
front; the Redondo Land company
1900 acres of land and two miles Of
water front. and Bixby & Howard 1000
acres of land, with no frontage on the
ocean.
The latter company desires to have
the city's sewage on its lands the Re-
dondo Land company would take the
sewage conditionally, and MIR. Freeman
IS preparing proposition to the city,
which he will lay before the council
next Monday.
The status of the outfall sewer propo-
sition, as it was left by last summers
election, was discussed thoroughly, and
the sentiment of the committee was
soon discovered to be almost unani-
n,o1islv in favor Of an Outfa1l IN rho
ocean. Maps were brought out, and the
and discussed.
Mr.. Howard explained how the sew
age could be got onto his lands with but
little tunneling, and explained the route
he proposed. The Santa Fe, it was
stated, would fight any plan to place
sewer within mile of their track, on
either side, and the Redondo company's
representative intimated that opposition
might be expected from them if the
sewer entered the ocean near the town.
site.
Mr.. Nickel moved that the council be
requested to appoint a committee of
three to obtain a right of way for an
outfall sewer to the sea, to work in con-
necEon with the city attorney and city
engineer. Carried.
ftawas moved and carried that the
Committee meet at the city hall next
Tuesday, at O'Clock in the morning,
and take carriages to proceed over the
varions routes proposed for the sewer,
and especially to inspect the ridge south
of the city and discover the most feasi-
BILE way Of crossing it. The committee
then adjourned.
