THE BANKERS.
Their Proceedings in San Francisco at
Thursdays Session.


AT the session of the California Bank
ers' association yesterday, says the San
Francisco Chronicle of Friday, the first
paper read was short one by G. p.
Soule, of Eureka, on The Development
OF Home Resources.
Lowell White, of This city, contributed
a paper regarding the attitude of banks,
particularly savings banks, toward those
who pay interest. He deprecated any
delay in collection when interest is due,
for delay is always dangerous, inspiring
lax and extravagant investments and
loose habits in the people, who receive
NO real advantage by postponement Of
their financial obligations. In commu
mites where values are we'll defined and
'folerably permanent the lender has no
desire to secure the property of the bor-
rover, but prompt payment of interest
should always be enforced.
These views received considerable APP
pisuse and they were seconded by r. H.
Mcdonald, Jr.
Improved Methods was the theme
chosen by Frank Miller, OF Sacramento.
1IaLu6u aoblSJdulS OCCupleQ bllO d6-
tention OF @. G. Bush, of Redding.
Lowell White introduced resolution,
subsequently adopted, to allow r. NJ.
Widney an opportunity to explain his
currency plan when the convention is
not in session. Mr.. Widney will ex-
gslGsR his plan to the delegates and the
public tonight.
George o. Hleyer took advantage of
n n 10 CT 90 G
even the semblance of an endorsement
OF hydraulic mining by the bankers.
His remarks were called forth by de-
sire, expressed by E. F. Spence on the
day before, to secure by some means the
gold now in the state. Mr.. Spence, in
reply, yesterday, declared he had sug
gested no definite plan, but still thought
the wish a reasonable one. A. G. Bing-
ham, OF Marysville, also expressed his
opinion that hydraulic mining had no
legitimate place in the deliberations of
bankers.
The last paper of the day, by A. Ger
berding on Some Suggestions, created
the greatest interest of the session. The
speaker confined himself to the advocacy
OF three propositions, the construction
of the Nicaragua canal, the encour-
agement of state immigration and the
placing of irrigation bonds ueon mar
ketable basis, a triple alliance that must
induce the greatest prosperity to Cali
fornia. His appeal for the canal was OF
especial importance to bankers, for it
auQgested to the national banks new
solution OF the problem of redemption.
He urged them to petition congress to
construct the canal with the issuance Of
new bonds. to be used as basis for cir.
eulaiion.. His suggestions met with CON

THE COMING FAIR.
Artist Albertus to Make a Fine Ex-
hibit.


hibit.
The coming fair promises to be one of
the best-attended ever held in Los An
geles.
J. Albertus, the well-known artist at
12415 West Second street, has concluded
to place some of his fine work on exhi-
bition during fair week, and they will
undoubtedly attract great attention.
Among the most striking portraits
that Mr.. Aibertus intends placing on
exhibition is prayer scene, with Miss
Ethel Stewart in the center and Miss
Edith and Laura Doran by her side.
The picture is indeed a very striking
one, not alone in effect, but in the like
nesses of the young folks. A further in
spection of Mr.. Albertus's studio showed
the artist to be as busy as ever.
The artists plan to advertise his bust
ness has been a great success, and he in
tends to renew it for the next thirty
days.
This plan is to give away 1000 life-size
crayon portraits free OF charge. He will
have the city canvassed by reliable
agents, who will call upon the residents
and explain the object of the plan. From
these agents can be procured a card
which will entitle the holder to life
size crayon portrait on presentation at
Mr.. Albertus's studio on Second street.
By the agents calling the artist can keep
track of the tickets issued and know ex-
actly when the 1000 tickets have been
used up. This is, indeed, rare oppor-
tunity to secure a splendid portrait.
Among the life-like likenesses noticed
in the studio yesterday were Miss Cohen,
Mrs. Judge Holton, Miss Ferner, Mrs.
Stanley, Joe Bayer and Judge ]. D.
Bicknell.

A BIG LEDGER.
A Fine Piece of Work by Martin c.
Neuner & Co.


There is on exhibition in the window
of Stoll & Thayer, in the Bryson block,
the largest ledger ever made in Southern
California. The ledger was made for
Messrs. Maier & Zobelein, the we'll
known brewers, by Martin G. Neuner &
Co., general book binders, at 213 New
High street. The ledger, which is made
of the finest paper and Russian leather,
contains 1900 pages. Heretofore it has
been the custom of many houses in Los
Angeles to have such large orders as this
one executed in San Francisco. By now
such work can be done right here at
home. Neuner & Co. have the facilities
for doing all kinds OF work in the gen.
eral bookbinding and blank book manu-
featuring line. They have the latest
and largest ruling machinery west of
Kansas. At present they employ six
teen hands. They not alone have a
large patronage in Los Angeles, but do a
big business in many of the surround
ing counties. At present this enter
prising firm is just completing job of
$4,000 pamphlets Tor our chamber Of
commerce.

THE WORKMAN BLOCK.
Desirable Offices Now Ready for Oc-
cupancy.


Recently the HERALD contained de-
scriptive article on the magnificent
block OF Gal" Workman's on Spring
street between Second and Third streets.
At that time only the ground stores
were completed and they were contracted
for long before their completion. Mr..
Al Workman has been pushing the COM
pletion of the two upper stories very
vigorously and they are now almost
completed. The stories mentioned con-
tain forty-four rooms. They are all
large, airy and well ventilated and it can
be safely said that they are the best
lighted and most cheerful looking rooms
of any building in Los Angeles. Each
room has stationary wash-stand and
nineteen of the forty-four rooms have fire.
places. The rooms will be let for offices
only. Single or en- suite or as many as
desired can be obtained. Mr.. Work
man has placed the rent OF these desir-
able rooms at very reasonable prices,
and the central location of the building
is such that they will undoubtedly all
be filled rapidly. Parties looking for
offices should inspect this place.

What has every appearance of a deter

year-old son Of j. II. Jaffray, a wealthy
business man, residing in Yonkers, was
made the other night. The lad. whose name
is Harold. slender, delicate-lOokng by,
went to an upstairs room about 10 o'clock,
leaving his parents and two brothers on the
floor below. AS he entered the room some
body struck him blow on the neck and he
fell on his face. At the same time the gas
went out and the room was in absolute
darkness. Then portion of a towel was
forced into the boys mouth, and being tied
behind his ears, effectually gagged him.
The boys hands were firmly bound by the
wrists behind his back with another towel

that his mother. who had come upstairs to
her own room. heard him. Mrs. Jaffray
came running to the room, but the door
was bolted, Harold's assailant having
fastened it when he turned out the light.
While Mrs. Jatfray was hammering on the
door her boy was being dragged to the
window. She heard the window open. She
asked Harold what was the matter, but no
reply came to her question.
Then Mrs. Jaffray put her shoulder to the
door and burst it open. AS she did so
man sprang out of the window. He alighted
on ledge of the first story and came down
so heavily that everybody in the house
heard the noise. From this ledge he sprang
to the ground, distance of twenty feet, and
disappeared among the shrubbery surround
ing the house. The boy was released from
his bonds and told his story to his father.
who at once suspected Thomas Harvey, for
whose arrest MIR. Jaffray had sworn out
warrant. 1t had not been served, as the
police were unable to find their man. Har-
vey was the husband of Mr.. Jaffray's
mulatto cook. who has been supporting him
for years. Finally she grew tired of his
extortion and refused to give him any more
money. Harvey then threatened TO beat
her, and Mr.. Jaffray swore out a warrant
for his arrest The Gissolute rascal swore
to get even with his wife's employer, and
as he has not been seen since there is little
doubt as to his being young Jaffray's
aSsailant.
