WHOOPING UP TAXES.
HOW THE UNION LEAGUE BUREAU
CRACY RAISES MONEY.
A Specimen Instance Where a Raise in
Taxation Was Made of Twenty
five Per Cent in One
Year.

1t may not, probably, be cheering in
telligence but the HERALD desires to
call to the attention of the taxpayers of
this county some cold facts with regard
to the increase in the taxation in this
county during the last year. What is
given below is only one instance, but it
conclusively proves what this paper has
all along alleged-that the money of
the people OF this county was being
criminally and extravagantly expended
with profiigate disregard for economy.
In the year 1891 the texes of the San
Gabriel Wine company, OF which J. De
Barth Shorb Is president and general
manager, were $101S13. The company
paid these taxes and made no complaint,
but in this year of our Lord. 1892. the
company is notified by the tax gatherer
that the taxes are 1920 66. This is an
increase of$252 80 or 25 per cent in one
year.
just stop minute and think, voters
OF this county. At this rate of increase
how long will you be able to retain your
homes. What becomes of the money
There is yearly increase in valuation
of millions and yearly increase in tax
alton of rs per cent. Who ia receiving
the benefit of the proceeds? Certainly
not the great body of the people.
The HERALD has shown where some
of it goes toto pay salaries to an army
of unnecessary deputies; to enable the
board Of supervisors to pay exorbitant
prices for what they buy to give them
the coin to satisfy contracts they have
made with favorites at heavy figures
without inviting competition to pay for
printing the great register at % cents
per name when it could have been done
for II If fcompetitive bids had been asked !;
to pay the county treasurer for ex-
change and expressage that never cost
him dollar, etc. Will the taxpayers
vote to continue this sort of waste?

Darling, the Raisin Grower, Goes Into
Insolvency.
FRESNO, Oct. 30.-A. D. Balling, q
raisin grower and shipper, hasAfled a
petition to the superior court asking to
be declared an insolvent debtor. His
failure is very serious one, and one Of
the largest that ever took place here.
Barling's liabilities aggregate SIP, ,951.
His heaviest creditors are w. s. Beck &
Co. of San Francisco, to whom he is in
debted in the sum of $65 200. They are
secured by mortgages on Barling's vine-
yard. The assets consist of petitioners
vineyard, valued at $50 900, and person
al property valued at $3S,600; all in
numbered.
At the commencement of the fruit
season Barling bought heavily. He
made big shipments east, but just then
the cholera scare came on. and the bot
tom dropped out of the fruit market, se-
riously embarrassing him.
A number of fruit and raisin growers
will lose considerable sums by the fail
ure. A large number of merchants are
also among Bariing's creditors.

second Game,

After breathing space of about 15
minutes play was called on the second
game, with Balsz and Knell as opposing
pitchers. Both were out for blood.
Louie had lost two games this week
against Knell on the worst kind of luck
and was keyed up for revenge. The
San Francisco south-paw had won his
only games off the citrus-belters and
was likewise inflated. The result of
this game would have been very differ
ent had there been no fielding errors,
but some of the players were probably
tired or nervous, or both, and the visit
ors scored two runs in the second
inning.
With two hands out Power reached
first on single and Knell followed him
with little tap to Hulen, which should
have retired the side; but the kid erred
and two singles by p. and D. Sweeney
gave the Dsddies representation on
the score board.
The Angels got run in the fourth in
ming by base on balls to McCauey, a
single by Lohman and an error by Spies.
The score was tied in the seventh by
q single by Hulen, who stole second, and
was followed by Stafford's drive to the
left field fence for three bags.
No more runs were made in the game,
and at the end OF the tenth it was de-
clared draw.
The score tells the rest of the story.

1t Is Probable That the Export Demand
Will Continue. &
New YORK, Oct. 30.-The American
Agriculturalist prints an elaborate re-
view of the wheat situation. 1t points
out that the export from India is falling
off and that Russian wheat is being held
for an advance, and that the surplus for
export from Australia and South Amer
ica is very small. 1t says the worlds
reserve supply is by no means made up
by last years heavy yield in the United
States, and that the replerishing of
these reserves accounts for. our enor-
nous exports and the active foreign
market at present. The Agricultural
lists returns indicate that the total wheat
crop for 1892 is 4S4, ,434, 900 bushels.
1t claims that the area of wheat has
been greatly exaggerated, the yield per
acre overestimated and the total crop
reported at to 15 per cent more than
actually harvested. This year the total
crop by states appears to be as follows,
in round millions of bushels:

ABSOLUTELY PURE
ABSOLUTELY PURE
ADELAIDE RANDALL.

An Earnest Little Woman and the Work
of Her Life.
Thirty years ago there was little pa
per published in an obscure little Mary
land village, called the Carroll County
Democrat. Its ostensible editor was
James Randall, a reporter on the Ma
tional IntelligenCer of Washington.
The truth is that Randall did not see
his office twice month. His wife wrote
most OF the copy for the paper and his
son set it up, being foreman, devil, copy
holder and everything else. The eldest
daughter married quite young and was
a widow at 20. After the war had gone
along apiece, the eldest girl got a place
in the treasury department, under old
Salmon P. Chase. The second daugh-
ter, who had rich mezzo-so prano voice,
is the subject of the present sketch.
At 18 years of age she was considering
herself fortunate in having an income of
$1,000 a year from singing in churches,
$500 OF which was from the jewish syn
agogue. Just then, worn out with long
years of unrequited toll as journalist,
her father died, and from that time she
became the virtual head of a family.
Brother and sister passed away year
or two later; but there were stilia niece,
younger sister and mother to be
cared for. How bravely and how stead-
taetIy the young girl accepted the trust
ls known to the legion of loyal friends
that have gathered about her as middle
age comes to remind of the encroach-
ments of time.
Thirteen years ago she married Charles
9. Atwood, manager for Maggie Mitchell,
the evergreen Fanchon. Their married
life was happy one and the only cloud
OF sorrow that ever came over her was
when he died, year ago. Feeling that
operate work was trifle too heavy for
her she joined John T. Kelly's party in
McFee of Dublin. And while the part
OF the prlma donna is not one calculated
to display her vocal ability. she never
theless has contributed fairly her quota
to the success OF what is admitted to be
the funniest piece on the road. Miss
RandalPs forte in opera ia light and airy
music that carries with it good deal OF
sparkling comedy. Her favorite part ls
that of the fairy in Crispino, and next to
it Prince Raphael, in the Princess of
Trebizondo, in which she depicted the
rollicking school boy with all the jollity
of Alice Oates and refinement which
the latter was unable to conceive. Her
Fiametto in Boccacio. in which she
fairly divided honors with Emile Mel
vile. who was the poet of the cast, was
another cleanly cut bit of work. She is
now studying an entire new lot of music,
to be sung in McFee OF Dublin where it
plays longer than two nights. She is a
hard working little woman and has a
host of friends.

TWO GREAT GAMES OF BAL,
Nineteen Innings All n One
Afternoon.
In the First Game tn Angels Shut
Vuc cne " Addies.
Aho Sooo"u Resulted In Ten
inning Dr Aw-The Result to
Decided This
Afternoon.

nasep all patrons surely got the worth
ol 'ne 4 money yesterday afternoon, for
Tue 5000 people who were at Athletic
~ RI were given just 10 innings of base
1all at one sitting. 1t is very seldom
that one sees the whole working force OF
two league teams, but just this exhibi-
tion was on the programme. There
we're also some things furnished that
were not on the programme. The first
game was 9.to-0 shut-out affair. This
OF itself was worth the price OF admis-
sion. Then there was tie game, un-
settled at the end OF the tenth inning,
with the score and 2, and which could
not be finished on account OF darkness.
Surely every one ought to have been
satisfied.
And what crowd there was in attend
ance The grand stand had more than
it's usual number of ladies and their es-
corte, the bleachers were filled clear
down near the foul line, and in the kin
dergarten the fans were packed closer
than sardines. But it was an orderly
crowd. The cranks yelled themselves
horse before the first game was finished,
but they applauded visitors and locals
alike. Sometimes they yelled juet to
keep in the game, but they had plenty
of opportunities to vent their enthu-
Hiasm.
The first game was practically settled
in the first inning, when the Angels
piled up four runs on just that many
large-sized hits, and a contribution of
three awkward errors. Stafford sent q
hot grounder down to Power at first,
which that individual failed to handle
properly, and then stole second. Wright
advanced Jimmy one bag on his single
to center, and Tredway's fly to Hanly
allowed Los Angeles shortstop to score
on the throw-in. McCauley also placed
a single in safe territory. Then when
McCauley started to steal second Pete
Sweeney muffed thrown ball, and
Rasty scored. Glenalvin gave Danny
Sweeney a chance to chase single, but
the diminutive center booted the ball
far enough to let McCauley score and
Glenalvin to reach third. Lytle's triple
to right-center, which might have been a
home-run, scored the Angelic captain.
Another run was made in the next
inning upon q double by McNabb, a
single by Stafford and Wright's sacrifice
to D. Sweeney.
In the third inning Lytle put single
into right field, and took third base on
Baldwin's safe one in the same territory,
A wild pitch scored Lytle, but Baldwin
was retired trying to take two bases on
the misplay. Hulen and McNabb both
went to first in walk, and Stafford fol-
lowed them with a triple and sent both
home. The last run was made in the
seventh inning, when Hulen forced the
second hand out at second and scored on
McNabb's double to center, which the
latter unsuccessfully attempted to
stretch into triple.
The San Franciscos failed to get a man
across the plate in nine innings. They
occasionally got man on bases, and
once had all the canvas occupied, but
then Peter Nab would smile and become
mysterious, and further advance was
out of the question.
The score follows:

that the pope has already given Prince
Ferdinand of Hohenzohlern dis
