A Plain Statement from Councilman
Innes.

A Plain Statement from Councilman
EDITORS HERALD: / deaire. through
your columns to reply to an editorial
item in the Times of this morning where
the statement is made that l was active
in "legglng for that jm-crow printing
Office, the alleged Daily Journal. which
made mess OF printing the ballots for
the city," The statement is further
made that I appear to be in favor of
something akin to Chinese cheap labor
in the matter of printing.
AT the suggestion of City Clerk Teed,
a committee was appointed from the
council to advise with and assist Mr..
Teed in matters pertaining to the call
ing and holding of the city election. Mr..
Rees, Mr.. Afford and myself were ap-
pointed on that committee.
No meeting of that committee was
ever called or held to my knowledge,
when the matter OF printing the city
ballots was ever discussed or mentioned.
l had no knowledge, until after the
tickets were printed, by whom the work
was to bs done, and do not now know
the price to- be paid therefor; and
furthermore, / never knew that the
Daily Journal had made an application
for the job OF printing the city ballots.

Some Pertinent Inquiries.

EDITORS HERALD: beg to ask E. H.
Hutchinson the following questions:
First-Did not one OF your inspectors
reject some manhole covers on the Fifth
street sewer, between Main and San
Pedro streets, on account of their weigh
ing less than 400 pounds each, as re-
quired by the city specifications
Second-If such be the case, is it not
q fact that the same manhole covers
were afterwards used in the construc-
ton of a sewer on Court street by Con-
tractor White and the work accepted by
you?
Third-Is it not fact that you re-
quire in excavations for sewer work
where the cut is less than 12 or IA feet
that all tunnels shall be cut down after
the sewer has been laid?
Fourth-If such be the case, why is it
that the tunnels which were left on the
6econd-street sewer, between Alameda
and Los Angeles streets, and those on
the sewer now being built and partially
done under the Zureth contract on Ala
media street were not cut down, espe-
cially where pavement has to be laid
Immediately after?
Fifth-Is it not fact that your in
spectors require some contractors on
sewer construction and not others to
follow out the city specifications to the
letter in regard to the cutting down OF
tunnels left?
Sixth-Is it not fact that you have
allowed and are now allowing Chinese
made brick to be used in the construc-
tion of all work wherein they are re-
quired in your department?
Seventh-Is it not fact that the
street railway tracks of this city are in a
most horrible condition as regards the
pavement which aligns them?
Eighth-Is it not fact that some four
or five months ago the Los Angeles Con-
solidated Electric railway tore up the
pavement at the junction of Marches
sault and Upper Main streets, and have
not as yet replaced said pavement?

There has been quite Il sensation III
Wa,hir gton recently on the subject OF
fIticial eggs. a person who claims to
nave invented process for making
lhem-patent newly applied for-has
been exhibiting samples and giving
them away about town. Some dozens
have been served in the clubs, boiled,
fried, poached and scrambled, and the
general verdict is that it would be i'm.
possible for anybody to distinguish them
from real ones. Externally they look
exactly like the sort laid by hens. Break
the shell Of a raw specimen and the con
tents flop into glass in as natural 4
manner as possible, the yolk and white
unmingled. 1t has been claimed that
no imitation egg could ever be made tc
''heat up" for cake, but these do per
frclly.
The inventor says that his eggs are
chemically speaking, precise reproduce
ton of nature. Corn meal is the basis
of their material. The white is pure al
bumen, of course, while the yoIl is a
more complicated mixture of abumen
and several other elements. Inside the
shell is a lining of what looks somewhat
like the delicate, filmy membrane formed
by the hen, while the shell itself is stated
to be made in two halves, stuck together
so artfully that no one can discover the
joining. The very germ of the chicken,
with unnecessary faithfulness of imita
ton, as one might think, is counter
feited.
The eggs are made of various shapes
and tints. One will be able to buy, as
soon as they are put in the market,
counterfeit pullets' eggs or eggs laid by
elderly hens; likewise select white eggs
or dark colored ones, according to choice.
Most surprising of all, they will be sold
for only ten cents a dozen, and they
never get rotten. To confectioners and
others who use large quantities Of eggs
the yolks and whites will be sold sepa-
rately, put up in jars and Theoretically
sealed. In this shape they will also be
convenient for household employment.

A LION TAMER's POWER.
innrkable Courage Displayed when
There Was No Time to Lose.

There Was No Time to Lose.
Monsieur Bidel the noted lion tanner,
iates in his memoirs a terrible adven-
ire. He was sitting at the entrance to
, ,e menagerie with Madame Bidel, and
the entertainment was about to begin
when he heard piercing cry. This was
{ llowed by a furious roaring, and cries Of
Help, help!" by many voices. He
,ushed in, and this is an account Of what
!,appened:-
"All eyes were turned toward one Of
the cages. 1t was appalling. Venturelli,
{; poor fellow in my employ, had been
| fled from the ground, and was sus-
iended outside the cage in the claws

and so crawling into the cage.

"'When l passed those gentlemen

Il wished to caress them. Three were
asleep and one was awake; that one mis-.
understood my intention. He walked
his comrades, seized me, and but for you
l should certainly have made meal for
them."
The heroic lion tanner goes on to relate
that the king. being informed of his act,
decorated him publicly, and the people
feted him and loaded him with honors.
On this occasion, he says, though he is
not used to being afraid, he was so agi.
tated that his limbs shook he was faint
and could hardly see. He soon recovered
himself however, and his pleasure in
this public recognition of his bravery was
marre'i only by regret that his father
could not be there to enjoy it.
