Everybody is familiar with the story
OF Nee Gum, the Chinese girl who was
married two or three weeks ago to Ah
Bow by Justice Stanton, and her subse-
quent abduction by Miss Margaret Cnl-
bertson of the Presbyterian Chinese
mission of San Francisco. The we'd
ding was simply an attempt to make
legal the ownership by All Bow of the
person of the girl. The poor creature
knew we'll what her fate would be, and
her abduction had been arranged by
herself and Miss Culbertson.
Yesterday Chinaman told HERALD
reporter that it was likely that Nee
Gum would be captured from her pro-
tectors in San Francisco, and returned
to her owner in this city, for the girl is
nothing but slave, and All Bow looks
at her rescue as theft of his personal
property.
He paid $4,000 for her, for she is a
beauty as the Chinese standard of
beauty goes, and was accomplished to
remarkable degree and had little feet;
in fact, she was "a golden lily girl, and
would have been great attraction in
the infamous den in which it was in
tended she should be put to earn money
for her owner.
1t is passing strange that the whole
drama should have been played in JUS
tice stanton's court. He married the
poor creature to Ah Bow, and when Miss
Culbertson ran off with her, a warrant
was issued from his court, based on a
complaint sworn to by the husband
charging the wife with larceny. Hap
PLY Miss Culbertson has SO far pre-
vented the SUCCESS of the nefarious
scheme, and it is to be hoped will so
continue.
The ground OF the complaint issued
by Justice Stanton charging the poor
slave with larceny is monstrous. All
Bow laid claim to the clothing and arti-
cles of jewelry the girl wore when she was
rescued, by virtue of owning her and all
her possessions through his purchase of
her.
The district attorney has frowned
down the custom of issuing warrants in
such cases, and number of times the
trials, when arrests have been made,
have resulted in the discontinue of the
slave owners. The present bears the
earmarks of an aggravated case of the
use of the machinery of the courts in
the interests of slave owners, and would
appear to warranta searching investiga-
ton,

He Explains His Relations With Hunt
ington.
Marcus Pollasky was caught in the
act of leaving the Fourth and Townsend
street offices yesterday, says the San
Francisco Chronicle of Saturday, and
was promptly called to account. He ex-
planned his visit to the Southern Pacific
headquarters by saying that he was ask
ing few days more time on $4,000
bill he owes the company for ties, spikes,
etc., ON the Fresno mountain road. The
awful suspicion that he is a catspaw for
G. P. Huntington was 80 wildly resug-
gested that further explanation was
asked.
"I am always frank" said the voluble
Marcus, .in fact, am too frank, but
will tell for the first time the whole
business. am q great friend of Mr..
Huntington, and when / first talked of
building road he said to me: You are
a lumber man. We will build spur
for you to your mill or anything else you
like, but the company does not think
any new lines are necessary at present
in California, and you don't want to op-
pose us
'.I told Mr.. Huntington that was GO
ing to build line anyhow, but that
was not anxious to fight the Southern
Pacific company"
"We'll parallel you" said Mr.. Hunt
ington.
''I'll move out of the way."I said,
''and at last, after great deal of talk,
managed tomake traffic arrangement
with Mr.. Huntington, assured the peo-
pie of Fresno that was on good terms
with the Southern Pacific, and that it
had no interest in the road. have bor-
rowed money, and have now built suf-

The Work Was Finished on saturday-A
Drive Fourteen Miles Long-A Grand
Thoroughfare.

The new boulevard to Santa Monica
from this city was completed on Satur-
day, and this magnificent thoroughfare
from the City of Angels to the sea will
doubtless prove an Appian way to pleas
ure and recreation untold. Quite large
force OF workmen, under the direction of
the county officials, have been at work
for some time past on this superb drive
way, and they concluded their work
Saturday evening.
The boulevard is fourteen miles in
length from the city limits to Santa Mon.
lea, and from Pico street, which gives
entrance to it, to Denker's ranch the
new road is 80 feet in width. From that
point to Santa Monica it is 100 feet wide,
and many citizens who drove over it
yesterday say that it is hard and solid
and as smooth as planed floor.
The new boulevard is certainly one of
the finest in America, from the variety
and grandeur of the scenery stretched
along in the range of vision from either
side, and there is no doubt but that it
will be most extensively travelled by
those who have an eye for the pictur-
esque and beautiful in scenic sense.
Now that Los Angeles has such grand
thoroughfare to the sea, there can be no
doubt that hundreds of tourists will be
delighted to take in the sights in this
beautiful stretch of country, and that
coaching parties from Los Angeles to
Santa Monica will be the fashionable
rage. The road is made of gravel and
packed compactly, giving a perfectly
smooth surface, so that it will offer
many charms to wheelmen. A ride on
the bicycle from here to the sea will also
open up pleasing vistas to the mind of
every lover OF this kind of open air ex-
ercise, and it is probable that the local
club of wheelmen in the near future will
take run over the new thoroughfare.

Ouick Wurreu.

An actor, now famous, made his first
appearance on the stage in provincial
city where theater goers were accustom-
ed to make their disapproval felt when
an entertainer did not succeed in pleas
ing them. He was young and nervous
and failed dismally in the part he was
endeavoring to pl resent, aad soon found
himself the target for an assortment Of
Objectionable bric-a-brac. When the
uproar was at its highest one Of his dis
gusted auditors flung cabbage head at
him. AS it fell on the stage the actor
picked it up and stepped forward to the
footlights He raised his hand to COM
mand silence, and when his tormentors
paused to hear what he had to say, ex-
claimed, pointing to the cabbage head:
Ladies and gentlemen, expected to
please you with my acting, but confess
did not expect that any one in the
audience would lose his head over. it,"
He was allowed to proceed without
further molestation. Macarthur in

The weather in Los Angeles at present

thousands of eastern visitors are over

seemed as if the entire city was bent
upon enjoyment yesterday. for all the
many resorts at the ocean side and ex-
cellent drives in and about the city were
crowded with people.
Several thousand made their way to
Weetlake park, where they enjoyed the
numerous airs played by the Douglas
band. The lake was spotted with pleas
ure seekers in sail and row boats, the
pathways were jammed with those
anxious to enjoy their Sabbath at the
Angelic city's principal park. At Santa
Monica, Long Beach, San Pedro and
Redondo there were unusual assemblies
of people for this time of the year, many
taking dip in the mild Pacific, while
others strolled along the grounds, and
others used the pole and line to ad-
vantage.
All of the boulevards to Pasadena,
San Gabriel, Vernon, Glendale, Ingle-
wood and other points were crowded
with vehicles filled with happy An
gelefios and the large eastern contingent
now in our midst. Such day as yes
terday, as to beautiful weather, is moth
ing unusual for Los Angeles, but others
look on in amazement at the ideal days,
and are easily convinced that Los An

A PROBABLE IMPROVEMENT.

We are very glad indeed to learn of
the presence in our city of Mr.. Sum-
ner, of Mount Clements, Mich, who
comes here to inspect and thoroughly
test the waters of Ghio's Spring at the
Ghio-Fish, park near the Fair grounds,
three miles northwest from this city,
and situate on the line of the Tear
kama & Ft. Smith railway. The in
mediate object of Mr.. Summer, who,
by the way, is a well known aud re-
sponsible capitalist, is to
erect bottling works, on an ex-
tensive scale, at this place, using
the already noted waters from the
Chic Spring in their native State. An
analysis Of these waters has already
been made by the most competent
chemists in the land and they, each
and every one, have pronounced them
absolutely and chemically pure.
These facts have all been fully investi-
gated by Mr.. Summer and have had
the effect, we understand, of convinc-
ing him that bottling factory would
not only prove an incentive to a high
er and better enterprise, that of a
winter health resort, than which
a finer, or better adopted location
could not be found in this Southern
country Mr.. Sumner was assisted in
his labors while here by the well
known water expert and engineer, Mr..
W. Ii. Coates, of this city, who speaks
highly and confidently of the pro
spect for securing both of the needed
and excellent enterprises to Texar-
kama in the near future. Mr.. Sumner

plans, and will again visit our city

THE DYING ooNvICTs.

The strange and mysterious deaths
of Arkansas convicts continue as tho
State sensation. Poison has claimed
two more victims, making fourteen in
all.
The Gazette OF this morning gives
most shocking account of the sani-
tary condition of the penitentiary
premises at Little Rock, where the
last convict died so suddenly. 1t says:
"The last victim is the most extraor-
binary in the history of the entire
matter, and the Investigations which
it has led to and may bring about,
form a chapter which rivals the Coal
Hill horrors of five years ago"
Investigation was going on yester-
day and will be vigorously prosecuted
until bottom facts are gotten at. The
chief of police and sewer inspector,
who were sent by the mayor of Little
Rock to examine the buildings AMI
premises, made a report severely con-
demning the sanitary condition there
OF. Among other things, they said:
"The dump pile west Of the buildings
and within the walls was most hor-
rible spectacle, and gave forth a stencil
that was most unbearable. 1t is
about the size of a city lot, aud con-
sists of all the manure from the sta
bles, dead calves, oflal and kitchen re-
fuse, all in state of morbid decay.
Over this was roaming at will the
milch COWS of the Penitentiary, and
sheep and hogs to be killed for meat.
1t is stated that Prisoner Long ate
some beet pickles which he picked up
from this dump last night, and it
NAV turn out at the inquest this morn
ing that this may have had something
to do with his Illness"
All of these things will fortify and
strengthen the public clamor that the
convict lease system must be abolish
ed. The Legislature will tackle the
question as soon as it meets.

Business Transfer.

Quite a ripple of excitement was oc-
casinned on the streets Of the city last
evening by the news of the transfer
of the Racket Store, Robt. Ellis, pro-
prietor, to Mr.. N. l.. Davis, OF Missis-
sippi, who bought the stock, it is un-
derstood to protect himself against the
loss Of heavy debt, several thousand
dollars, which he held against the own
er, Mr.. Ellis. These are the facts as
we get them from reliable parties.
We cannot help uttering regret
over Mr.. Ellis misfortune and conse-
quent retirement from business, as we
have known and dealt with him since
his entry into the mercantile business
in Texarkana, and have always found
him a whole soul, liberal and progress
sive man, whose generosity towards
all classes of people has endeared him
to many hearts and won for him the
friendship Of all who are fully ac-
quainted with his open-handed nature.
AS M advertiser, he has been the
staunch friend Of the newspapers, and
has done much to support and sus-
tain them. We trust that his present
difficulties will rapidly be removed
and his friends have the pleasure of
again seeing him enter the mercantile
business here in this city.
