Completed.
A completed building, with it's plaster
ed walls, its paint and ornamentation,
like human body, gives no indication
of the intricate and carefully construct
ed skeleton beneath all the outside cov-
ering. The SHELTON is there, however,
and it would do some people good to see
how much care and labor are required
to put this skeleton together. An op-
portunity for seeing how much work is
expended on what seems to the uniniti-
ated comparatively simple job, is af-
forded at the almost completed electric
power house, where Skinner & Mckay,
the contractors, are yet engaged on the
skeleton and flooring. Take look
at the vast area of level floors and
think of the mathematical correct
ness necessary in the work of construct
ing them and their supporting frame
work; then look aloft at the expanse of
sheltering roof work, and calculate how
exact must the work be of putting to-
gether the maze of supporting beams
and braces which causes the roof to pre-
sent symmetrical and water tight sur
face to the rains of heaven, and provides
protection for the engines lungs of
fire and throbbing heart Of steel which
are soon to send out their energy over
the network OF wire nerves which over
hangs the miles OF electric roads. 1t

HE TALKED TOO MUCH.
A SANTA BARBARA DOCTOR WHO
DETAINED MISS BLY,.
Miss Ranie BLY, Sues Him for Defamation
of Characterize Said She Was I'm
chaste and Made Other Charges.

DIR. F. G. Flournoy, prominent Santa
Barbara physician, has got himself into
great deal of trouble through making
remarks rejecting on the character of a
certain Miss Ranie Bly,, dressmaker of
that city. Miss Bly, first had Flournoy
arrested for criminal libel, and has now
filed another suit for SIC, 900 for defama-
tion of character. The Press says the
complaint alleges:
That the plaintiff is maiden OF the
age OF "a years, supporting herself by
her own labor and endeavor at the trade
OF sewing and dressmaking, and at the
time OF the commission of the grievances
hereinafter complained OF, and at all
times prior thereto, she bore and sus
tanned good name and an untarnished
reputation among her neighbors and ac-
quaintances, as well as good reputa
tion and fame among all people for moral
worth and chastity.
That on the 18th day of July last, the
defendant in a certain discourse, which
he then and there had in the presence
and hearing of divers good and worthy
people falsely and maliciously spoke
and published OF and concerning the
plaintiff the following false and NAL
icious words: "Over a year ago was
called to visit Miss Ranie Bly, profess
sionally (meaning the plaintiff whom
defendant visited as a physician.) I
found that she had had miscarriage
about seven or eight hours before. At
that time found bottle in the posses
sion of Miss Bly,, which contains what
ia known as cotton root, medicine
used by the negro women during slavery
times in the south to produce an abor-
ton, which Miss BLY, had undoubtedly
taken. She is common prostitute,
and everybody knows it,"
That by reason of the speaking, pub
fishing and uttering of said false and
malicious words, the said plaintiff has
been damaged in her reputation in the
sum Of $4,000.

The character sketch in the forth
coming August number of the Review
of Reviews deals with his royal high
ness the prince of Wales in very direct
manner. Mr.. W. 7. Stead, the writer
of the sketch, has unquestionably
earned his reputation for being the most
outspoken and fearless journalist in
England. This latest article, brief ad-
vance extracts from which were given to
the news associations and have ap-
appeared in the newspapers of both
England and America, is a political dis
cussion of the greatest Importance. 1t
is unnecessary to say that it is full of
live interest. The article is prefaced
with a remarkable collection of cartoons
from the comic papers of the whole
world, dealing with the prince of Wales
and the recent scandals in which he has
been involved. The portrait of the
prince forms fine irontispiece to this
number OF the magazine.

WE OUGHT TO JOIN THE PROCESSION.

The movement to develop water in
Southern California, which has taken
shape lately, is one of the most encour-
aging things that has been noted in this
state for years. The late Mr.. Judah was
one of the most sagacious citizens this
coast ever possessed. 1t is doubtful
whether we would yet have had a trans
continental railway if it had not been
for the genius and engineering skill OF
that gentleman. He it was that estab-
lshed the practicability of crossing the
sierras. 1t was one OF his favprite re-
marks that the day would come when
there would not be a mountain canon in
California that would not be converted
into reservoir to store water for the
thirsty plains. 1t is astonishing the
amount of this kind OF work that has
been done in Southern California lat
terly. San Bernardino county has been
foremost OF the extreme southern coun-
ties in this line OF enterprise. 1t is alb
solutely astonishing the water develop
ment that has been accomplished there
in the past three years, and the projects
contemplated or in process of accom-
plishment surpass in magnitude those
already contaminated. Los Angeles
county has not been altogether remiss
in this line, but we have actually done
nothing compared with what we might
have done. The same is true
of Orange county. Immense guam
titles OF the waters of the Arroyo
Honda and the San Gabriel and Santa
Ana rivers are allowed to run to waste.
The same is the case with other streams
in the San Gabriel and Tejunga valleys.
Vast quantities of water could be brought
to the surface by submerged dams. Yet
few OF our people seem to realize these
possibilities. We are lacking utterly in
that splendid energy which can be wit
messed on all hands in San Bernardino
county. And yet Los Angeles is ple-
thoric with money. Her banks are
loaded down with coin, and if our capital
lists were SO minded they could inaugu-
rate hundred plans of water develop.
ment that would pay we'll. Seeing that
our own people neglect these openings
for profitable investment, it is quite
natural that the stranger within our
gates should pass them by. The reser-
voir contains the true open sesame to
prosperity in Southern California. Some
day or other our people will be surprised
at the supineness which characterized
this community in this day of grace
1891. Wealth lays on all sides ready to
our hands, and all we have to do is to
reach out and grasp it. The Laguna
ranch, Immediately adjoining the city,
would furnish a splendid theater for the
employment OF water, with the Arroyo
Honda and the San Gabriel river as
sources of abundant supply.

WIRELESS, HOMELESS.
SAvILLE'S EXPLANATION AS TO
WHY HE SWINDLED PEOPLE.
A Confidence Operator Who victimized
Many Southern Californians-His Pa
thetic Tale of Woe.

1t appears that Bayard Saville, who
victimized James G. Fair to the tune of
$500, and who was recently arrested in
San Francisco, operated in Southern
California. Yesterday Chief Glass tele-
graphed Chief Crowley, of San Fran
cisco, that there were about twenty VIC
Tins down this. way. J. B. Moore, Of
Ontario, is out cool hundred. Mr..
Green, the Pasadena banker, mourns
for $3.50. w. III. Brooks, of Ontario,
was also taken in as well as several
others. Saville is handsome and very
plausible man and nearly succeeded in
getting into Los Angeles man for sew
eral thousand dollars.
"The story that Saville tells of his
life and why he committed this crime is
as follows,' says the San Francisco
Chronicle: 'sTen years ago he studied
law with the then Senator Bayard, but
later went into commercial life and
prospered. He had commission houses
in New York and London. Seven or
eight years ago he married beautiful
society lady in New York, to whom he
was much attached. Subsequently his
wife's health failed and his business
ventures left him short Of money. Two
years ago he met E. j. Baldwin in New
York and told him of his distress. He
told Mr.. Baldwin that the only chance
there was to save his wife's life was to
take her to the southern part of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Baldwin became interest
ed, and in October, 1890, furnished the
means for the couple to come west.
They went to Baldwin's orange orchard
in Los Angeles, and the husband
worked day and night to care for
the invalid. A few months ago
he came to San Francisco and was en-
ployed by Mr.. Baldwin to work in the
billiard rooms. This he did for a few
weeks, until he got word that his wife
was dying. Mr.. Baldwin furnished him
money to go to her, and he devoted him
self to her care until June 4th last, when
she died, leaving him broken-hearted
and poverty-stricken.
"'I came back to this city, said Sa-
vile, but was not able to do anything.
I was wifeless, homeless and in debt.
In sheer desperation / committed this
crime, and, of course, will go to state
prison for it. But what does it matter
A man who has lost everything may as
we'll be in one place as another

drew his hand across his eyes as the
trusty locked the cell door behind him."

public government" Disregarding
these provisions of the organic law, Bal
maceda on the 1st OF January issued a
manifesto in which he proclaimed him
self dictator, declaring that he had been
compelled to violate the constitution
and that he would continue to violate it.
He wound up with this unique declara-
tion: 81 count on >the support of the
army and navy, who know that 1 am
" their constitutional chief, and that
" they are essentially obedient forces
that cannot deliberate"
Whatever else Balmaceda may lack
he is certainly not deficient in frank
ness. The supreme court of Chile con.
demned the despot. Congress passed a
decree deposing the dictator and calling
upon the people to aid them in putting
this revolutionary government down.
All the leading citizens of Chile, the
wealthy and the intelligent, sided with
the insurgents just as was the case in
the revolution of 1776 in the United
States. The navy declared for the Con-
gressional party. Notwithstanding the
fact that Balmaceda at once trebled the
salaries of his army, all the leading
generals and large majority of the Off
GERS of the regular army are now fight
ing on the side of the people.
There certainly never was juster
cause than that of the Congressional
party of Chile. The attitude of the
government OF the United States all
through this crisis ON the Pacific coast
of South America is inexplicable. Here
is bloodthirsty and avaricious
usurper who ought to be ex-
ecuted for his crimes, and yet
the government of the United States,
which is supposed to sympathize with
the aspirations of peoples who are seek
ing to establish self-government, has
stood coldly aloof. The least the au-
thorities at Washington could have
done would have been to recognize the
Congressional party as belligerents. If
this course had been taken, the popular
cause would have been triumphant long
ago. What is the influence that has
shackled our government, and caused it
to hold in check the natural American
sentiment of fraternity towards people
fighting for their rights?
Balmaceda has shown the disposition
of Nero, and incredible atrocities are
reported daily from that land of blood.
The London Times, in referring to the
ferocious regime inaugurated by the
usurper, contained the following edito-
rial remarks;
"He had shrunk from no severity and
no brutality in dealing with the uphold
ers of constitutional rights. 1t is i'm
possible to ignore accusations formally
made from many different quarters.
There is a body of evidence to show
that, whatever be the constitutional
aspects of the quarrel, it has been
fought on Balmaceda's part with abso-
lutte unscrupulousness and unfinching
cruelty"
The indignation OF the people of the
United States at the supineness of their
government cannot readily be ex-
pressed. There ought to be some con-
certed movement in this country to give
the Congressional party of Chile all the
assistance compatible with interna-
tional law.

1t would no doubt be surprising is-

manuscripts of books which have be-

This fact about some books is well
known. Colburn, the London publisher,

clined to publish "The Great Hoggarty
Diamond" Thomas Hoods famous
"Song of the Shirt" was declined by
several leading London journals; "The

Camp was returned by several pub
fishers; "Ben Hur" was refused by at
least one house; Kipling's "Plain Tales
from the Hills" was declined by the
Harpers; Samuel Smiles "Self-Help"
found no publisher at first, and no doubt
the many manuscripts Of books which
have been successful and popular were
at first rejected.
