DEMOCRATIC CITY COMMITTEE
It Is Taking Hold of the Campaign in
Good Shape.

1t Is Taking Hold of the Campaign in
Good Shape.
The Democratic city central committee
met last evening with ]. Marion Brooks
in the chair and E. E. Shaffer, eecre-
tary. Each member of the committee
pledged himself to support the city
ticket as a whole. The challengers for
the various precincts were named and
it was decided to hold mass meeting
in the Second ward next Friday night
when the candidates on the city ticket,
including Thomas E. Rowan, will be
present and address the assemblage.
Several committeeman stated that in
interviews with ex-Mayor Workman
he stated that he intended to
fight Rowan to the bitter end,
but gave no reason for his conduct. 1t
was agreed that Mr.. Workman be looked
upon hereafter as Republican and mall
content, and such was the sense of those
present.
Instructions will be given the Demo-
cratic election officers in the Australian
plan at an early date. The outlook for
the success of the entire Democratic
ticket is bright. The executive commit
tee is doing some telling work, and the
committee as whole is making splen-
did campaign.
Mr.. Tufts record in the council will
soon be made public, which will place
him in very unfavorable light with
the working classes.
Committeeman Crawford reported that
a street contractor had discharged sew
eral of his men because they refused to
vote for Hutchinson for street superin-
tendent. Such seems to be the tactics
of the Republican candidates to obtain
votes. The committee adjourned to
meet next Saturday evening at o'clock.

THOMAS E. ROWAN.
Republican Taxpayers Good Reasons
why He Should Be Mayor.

Republican Taxpayers Good Reasons
Why He Should Be Mayor.
"Am 1 for Tom Rowan for mayor?
Well, should say so," said an old time
Los Angeles Republican to a HERALD
representative yesterday. 81 have
known Mr.. Rowan for II years in this
city. He has grown up here, as have.
and you cannot find man who can say
word against his character. Mr..
Rowan, taken altogether, is one of the
best posted men as to the needs of this
city. He has served both Los Angeles
city and county as public official, and
there has never been question raised
as to his ability and honesty. Just now
the city OF Los Angeles is about to make
move forward. The boom depres ion
is over and property, within year, will
command it's just value. With Thomas
E. Rowan as mayor, all that can be
done for the interests of the city and the
advancement OF values will be done.
Even Republicans who are property
owners or who have the interest of the
city at heart may we'll hesitate
before they hand over for two years the
city to man whose main interests are
east of the Rocky mountains. Mr..
Rowan is man who can be depended
on to carry out the law. His whole
official career shows that he will do his
duty and maintain the rights of the
people in all cases. No keeper of dive
or illegal saloon will get special privi-
leges from Mr.. Rowan.
The question finally resolves itself into
one OF "home rule" Mr.. Tufts is an
eastern man and his interests are all in
favor of helping out eastern capitalists
at the expense of Los Angeles taxpayers.
Mr.. Rowan was Los Angeles boy and
has spent every day of his life in ad-
vancing the interests of the city where
he lives. These seem to be good reasons
why Thomas E. Rowan should be the
next mayor of Los Angeles.

The case of Mrs. E. Cano de Vellalon,
Spanish woman 100 years old, against
Constable J. Brooksline of Downey was
on trial yesterday before Judge Smith
and jury. 1t is suit to recover the
value of horse, wagon and harness
sold by the officer as the property OF
Mrs. S. Moreno, although before the sale
Mrs. Vellalon went before Justice Gray
and swore to a notice that it was her
property. The justice neglected to GER
tify that such oath had been made, and
the constable paid no attention to the
notice. Mrs. Vellalon claims the con-
stable knew she made her oath, and he
denies it.

An Accident on the A. & p. r. r. of
Which Little Gould Be Learned.
An accident occurred yesterday on the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad the extent
of which could not be learned yesterday
in this city.
1t appears that train No. 1, which is
the through train from the east to San
Francisco via Mojave and the Southern
Pacific road, was wrecked near Peach
Springs, Ariz., presumably by a rear
end collision, as the Pullman car was
badly smashed and two other coaches
were disabled.
The officials in the general Office OF
the Santa Fe company in this city de-
MED all knowledge of the affair, but the
information can be relied upon as cor
rect as far as it goes. The only question
is as to the injury. if any, done to the
passengers.

A Generous Hero.

What one likes in Archibald Forbes
Barracks, Bivouacs and Battles" is the
air of freedom, the robustness, the
jauntiness of these episodes in the
pageant of war. Men do brave deeds
without parade and without false
humility, but with just touch of as
sumed carelessness. OF course, no
man risks his life without caring, I'M
less he is tired of it-and in that case
there is no special merit in running
after death. But really to enjoy life
to the utmost, and put it all in peril
for sentiment or through ambition to
wear bauble of cross that means
honor-that takes nerve and to do it
with a smile, as though it were one of
the polite conventions of life which are
expected of every gentleman, requires
more of that physical imperturbable-
ness which we call "nerve"--it de-
mands a steadfast spirit
So in these sketches, when we read
of Lord William Beresford riding into
the very face of death to snatch a
wounded Sergeant from the oncoming
Zulu,w feel admiration for his human
ity. And when we read that the
wounded man refused to 90 with him
because it would endanger two lives
instead of bringing inevitable death to
one-wc say he also is a brave man.
But when it is added that Lord William
"swore with clenched fist that he would
punch the wounded mans head if he
did not allow his life-to be saved" the
touch of humor brings the whole scene
within the range of our sympathies. 1t
is not play any longer with actors of
another race, but bit of ordinary,
everyday life made idea. Then we
say: "He is hero"
Then third man appears, Irish
Sergeant OToole, and he shoots down
the pursuing Zulu, who are at the very
heels of the overburdened horse, and
the three comrades together at last
reach safety.
BY and by the British troops sail
home, but the news of the brave deed
had long preceded them. Lord William
is summoned to Windsor to receive the
Victoria cross. Surely he had earned
it doubly, but there is room for even
more stuff in such hero. He will
have no honor that he can not share
with O'Toole, and the Queen knows
valor when she sees it and gives two
Victoria crosses.
Then we say: "Here is hero who
is not only humane and brave, but
generous and modest, and withal he
has sense of humor. Why, he is
not what the books call a hero-he is a
man, every inch of him, and ] would
like to take his hand and tell him So"

GOLD is SCARCE.
The Mines Yield Less Than Formerly
Amount That Has Been Mined.

There is no joke about it, affirms the
Washington Star. The gold produc-
ton of the world is steadily decreas-
ing from year to year, and it viii not
be very long before the supply is prac-
tically used up. Not more than $780,
000, 900 worth of the precious metal is
now mined annually, and this is not
nearly enough to meet the require
ments of expanding commerce. OF
course, new deposits will be discoy-
cred from time to time, but they will
soon be exhausted.
Why is gold so rare? Simply be-
cause it is heavy. There are only two
metals that are heavier, namely, plat
mum and Iridium. Remember that at
the beginning the earth was body OF
gas By gradual condensation it be-
came liquid, while now the whole of
its mass, save only an outer crust
much thinner in proportion to the
whole bulk than is the shell of an egg,
would be fluid but for the fact that
it is held together by tremendous
pressure. Naturally, in the course of
its formation about Il center of attrac-
ton. the weightier particles composing
the globe gathered about that center.
Accordingly we find that the earth as
"a whole weighs five times as much as
water, while the rocks forming the
crust are only about two and one-half
times as heavy as water.
In ancient times gold was obtained
abundantly from the rivers of Asia.
The sands of Pactolus. the golden fleece
secured by the Argonauts, the yellow
metal of Ophir, the fable of King Midas,
all illustrate the eastern origin of gold.
Alexander the Great brought nearly
$500, 900, 900 of gold from Persia. Gold
also came from Arabia and from the
But all OF these famous sources of sup
ply were long ago exhausted.
Brazil, which only century ago
was the richest of gold producing
countries, has now ceased to be largely
productive. The total output of the
metal from that part of the world from
the end of the sixteenth century until
now is estimated at 500, 100000. All
the famous gold coast of Africa does
not at present yield as much as $780,
O0) q year. Yet the dark continent
was formerly noted as the country of
gold. Mummies have been numer-
ously found in Egypt with massive
necklaces and other ornaments of the
metal
Herodotus tells us of a king who
loaded his prisoners with golden
chains, that substance being more
common than bronze. Copper was
even worn for ornament in preference
to gold. The treasures brought by the
queen of Sheba to Solomon's temple
must have been of enormous value.
Since the year 1900 Africa has pro-
duced about $500,000,000 worth of
gold, but the supply is nearly used up
now.
The supplies of gold drawn from the
United States are steadily diminish
ing. 1t is the same way with Austria
liza, which has yielded for the worlds
use about $4,000 worth of the
metal. Not less than $7,000,0 100000
worth of gold has been dug in all coun-
tries since Columbus discovered Amer
lea, 400 years ago.
