LITTLE INTERVIEWS.
What Different People Said About Diff
ferent Matters.

ferent Matters.
Sutherland Hutton: Terrapin? WHY
you can get plenty of terrapin by order
ing them from San Francisco. They are
not exactly the same as the Chesapeake
terrapin, but they are just as good. In
selecting them you should always take
those with a well rounded back; they
are the females, and are much the best.
Then all you need is some good old
sherry, and you have a meal fit for
Brillat Savarin.
Billy Manning (pugilist): This coun-
try is advancing fast in sparting mat
ters, particularly pugilism. 1 know a
cove, a Frenchman, who keeps saloon,
and he called me in the other evening.
Said he wanted to show me something.
He took me to back room, and there
were lot of blooming Frenchmen, dye
know, a boxing away. Yes, Frenchmen.
See? 1 tell you most everybody takes
an interest in boxing.
Ex-Sheriff Kays: 1 am glad to state
that no complaints have taken place
about the Citizens water company
since 1 have taken charge. AS long as
l control the matter people can have all
the water they want. OF course we
can't afford to have people waste water,
and think the consumers understand
this and will not be wasteful. As long
as I have temporary charge hope no
trouble will occur for want OF water.
Acting Postmaster Shoulders: You
called me major in the HERALD this
morning. / wish you would correct
that, for l had the honor of simply serv-
ing as high private in the army. and
have no claim to any title.
E. F. Spence, president First National
bank): Los Angeles real estate is all
right. Just five minutes ago had an
offer of $4,000 for Spring street lot I
own, and declined it, because would
not know how to invest the money any
better than by buying another lot just
like this one.
A prominent! business man: / sup
pose the, Express and the Times call
themselves newspapers, but they show
very small interest, as rule, in the
welfare of their supporters. I have
scanned their editorial columns in vain
to find a protest against the outrage
which tie state board of equalization
proposes to perpetrate upon this coun-
ty, but, apparently, these so-called
journals approve the bold robbery OF our
already oppressed taxpayers. The
scheme, if carried out, will take thous-
ands OF dollers from those. least able to
afford the loss, and it is shame that
the HERALD has the fight to make for
the people single-handed. But notice
your paper is the only one here which
can be depended upon to stand for the
interests OF this section. l have came
to the conclusion that if an army
was marching down to lay waste
Los Angeles city and county the present
management of the Express would not
say word against the enemy if a single
65-cent subscription was in danger of
being lost by so doing. The safety and
protection of the city would not once
enter into the minds Of the Times peo
pie. The question agitating them would
be, is a Times man to lead the forces
against the invaders? If not the Times
would follow its usual course by stand
ing in with the enemy and helping on
the destruction OF the city. The HERALD
only, of all the papers. has been stead
lastly loyal to Southern California, and
this is fact which taxpayers who have
patronage to give1 should never forget.
Jay Adams: was sitting in Captain
Spileman's tent at the camp at Santa
Monica on Saturday when l saw funny
sight. Some of the Ninth regiment
boys had enticed Chinaman to the
quarters, under pretense of giving him q
big wash to do. Once in their clutches
he was placed in blanket, and with his
cue standing on end with fright he was
tossed I don't know how many times.
Then the big drum major of the Pomona
band incautiously appeared, and in a
the big drum major, with his big bear
skin hat ard his baton, was flying up
