Counsellor McGrath Advises the County
Clerk Not to Print Them.
Counsellor John A. McGrath, of the
Board Of Freeholders. has submitted an
opinion to County Clerk Mclaughlin ad-
vising him that it is not the duty of the
County Clerk to prepare tickets for the
election of Freeholders at the coming
charter election. The counsellor says it
is his opinion that the law as it now
stands prohibits the County Clerk from
SO doing.
Discussing the question raised as to the
constitutionality of the law recently
passed relative to election of Freeholders
the counsellor adds that little or no i'm
portance need be attached thereto. The
groundwork of the act, he claims. was
carefully considered before its fubmis-
sion to the Legislature.
Judge Frederic. w. Stevens, coun sci
for the county of Essex, who, says Mr..
McGrath, is admittedly one of our best
constitutional lawyers, completed the
draft for the act as 1t finally passed, and
is ready to defend it against all attacks.

A woman,s Terrible Experience.

A farmer named Msrrand found q
woman lying underneath tree near his
farm in st. jerome parish. She was
alive, but almost skeleton, unable to
speak and insane. She was Matilda
Grapin, domestic. Over month ago
she left house to go to church, but had
never been heard of again and was be-
lieved to be dead. She had laid down
under tree where she and her dead hus-
band had often sat together. She fell
asleep and slept for two days, and when
she awoke she had lost her reason. She
wandered about the woods for thirty
five days, and never tasted any food.
She obtained water from brook. Since
she has been found she has been rational
at times and has told the above remark
able story. She is in very weak state.

or humiliation. Without any os-
tentatious display, great number OF
American men-of-war, of the new navy,
are getting within easy reach of VAL
paraiso. The ultimatum Of the United
States should be apology and reparation
or fight. If the latter is the alternative,
and the United States wins, the nitrate
beds which Chile won from Peru should
be the reward of the contest. That it is
ample as to pecuniary outcome admits
OF no doubt. The naval training ships
of the United States could very
we'll have their exercising grounds
off the coast of Chile and Peru.
There is no use Of monkeying about the
matter. If Chile wants fight, give her
all her situation calls fof, and make
her pay for it. Set the price high.
There is no earthly reason why this
little seven by-nine republic should be
allowed to take such rip-snorting
coarse through diplomatic channels.
She ought to be spanked and sat down
upon. At the same time we really
think that the HERALD's suggestion OF
turning her over to the state OF Texas
ought to be acted upon. The result
would be in no sense doubtful.

A Georgia Mule Mine.

Squire Spudler has just discovered an
extensive bay mule mine on his farm
near here. The squire was fishing down
by the creek near where an old Indian
mine was worked for mules, and he was
attracted by sound resembling the
bray Of a mule coming from little cave
in the bank Of the stream. The squire
commenced search and soon discovered
the ears of mule protruding above the
soft earth near the water. Work was at
once commenced and several fine speci-
mems were unearthed. The squires SON
in-law started with one fine specimen to
mineralogist's to have it assayed, but
it bucled and jumped with him, and,
after sending him off on a voyage of dis
covery toward the planet Saturn, went
on a grazing spree in the adjacent COW
lot. 1t is believed that the mine will
prove very profitable, and fodder and
corn have advanced to fifty dollars per
front foot.-Calhoun (Ga.) Times.

THE HERALD has committed itself to
the idea that the present season is re-
production of that of 1S74-75, when the
early rains simply started the grass, to
see it die out, and when the real season
began on the 10th of of January. There
have been far later seasons than that, but
we have an idea that this year is to be
reproduction of that special season.
A very charming feature of the season
as far as it has gone is that, notwith-
standing the delayed rainfall, the mesas
are mantling with the gracious alfilerilla
and other spontaneous grasses. All the
portents hold for rain, and if it shall
come at any time between now and the
twentieth of the month we shall be able
to chronicle the finest harvest ever
noted in Los Angeles county. This is
real outlook of the season to date. Los
Angeles is great reservoir, redundant
in the waters of the past four or five
seasons, and any one who has sown will

AN ABoRrIvE vILLAINY.

The filching of that portion Of Pro-
fessor Guinn's report to the grand jury
embodying his views concerning the
Whittier reform school WAS bootless
villainy. The professor retained his
notes, and is now engaged in reproduc-
ing his original report. There is great
deal Of rottenness concerning this pub
lie institution which will undoubtedly
see the light of day. Doodle
is a rank flower, but it seems
to have grown in Los An
geles county with more than the
luxuriance which characterizes our or
dinary flora. The people are intent
upon learning the bottom facts as to
this and other transactions, and they
will undoubtedly succeed. 1t is not
agreeable to be the agency of unearth-
ing fraud, but the HERALD is deter
mined to throw calcium light of truth
over the matter. The first and most
exigent necessity as to reform school
is to reform it. Then reformation can
have its rightful efficacy.

We LEARN from Hon. VIM. II. Work
man that the st. Louis Syndicate, who
compose thecapital behind the Terminal
Railway enterprise, will be in Los
Angeles Sunday a week from now.
Judge Chandler, Mr.. Richard G. Kerens
and the other enterprising gentlemen
who have done SO much to give new
railway alignment to Los Angeles, will
be on hand. We have every reason to
believe that, on their present visit, they
will clearly outline their plans. In a
general way, we are prepared to say that
if the people of Los Angeles shall CO.
operate in a reasonable measure, we
shall within less than two years have
another transcontinental railway, and
it will run from Los Angeles to Salt Lake
City. Many things are maturing for the
good Of Los Angeles that we have not
compassed by our own energy. We are
the benefciaries of the old adage that
it is better to be born lucky than rich.

Little Happiness in Stately mansions


"Well, tell you what has struck me
most" said Mr.. G.. e. Dickinson. "It is
the large and magnificent houses in sew
eral of our great cities built by million
aires and the small amount of real COM
fort or happiness which the millionaires
seem to get out of them. Dickens, in
one of his novels, portrays with vivid
touch the real life of one of the city
men whose magnificent mansion was the
talk of the town. 1t has often occurred
to me that there are many New York
millionaires whose peace of mind is no
greater than that of the character whom
he sets down.
Somehow there seems to hang over u
number of these stately mansions a
shadow of gloom. In the west it is the
same. Some of those great houses look
as deserted as if the men who built them
and every relative had been. forgotten
and the houses were the only reminders
that they once existed. To tell the truth,
there is too much rush, believe, over
the making of money to enjoy the sup
posed happiness which it brings" "-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

SPANISH ANARCHISTS.
A Bold Attack on a City Repulsed
TrOOpa.


MADRID, Jan. 9.-Last night band of
anarchists from the country surround
ing Heres made an attack on that
place. intending to pillage the town.
The gendarmes, however, got wind of
the affair, and the anarchists were sur
prised by strong force awaiting them.
The anarchists were armed with fowing
pieces, and though their plan to pillage
ish the police for thwarting their de-
signs. They made desperate attack
on the guardians of the town and a
stubborn fight resulted. The gendarmes
finally charged upon and repulsed the
enemy. The latter returned however, and
firing continued until early this morn
G. The military authorities today took
hand in the affair. They dispatched
a force OF cavalry in pursuit of the
anarchists, who fled precipitately. The
cavalry pursued them in every direction,
and succeeded in capturing the ma
jority. The prisoners will be arraigned
before court martial and punishment
will follow swift upon conviction.
The attack was commenced as the
people were leaving the theaters, and
directed principally towards that quar-
ter in which the prison is situated, the
intention being to liberate the prisoners.
Troops repulsed the rioters, while gend-
armes were routing number of scat
tered bands which were creating dis
turbances in other parts of the city,
after stubborn resistance by the
anarchists. Three of them were killed
and twenty more or less seriously in
jured. An innocent spectator was killed
during the fight by an anarchist, armed
with scythe. This rioter, and thirty
companions, were placed under arrest.
The cabinet council today ordered the
authorities to deal with the rioters with
the utmost rigor. The audacity dis
played in attacking city in which q
battalion of infantry and a regiment of
cavalry are quartered is regarded as
alarming and inexplicable.
La Epoea, speaking of the affair, says
the rioters made an attack simultan-
eously on the infantry barracks and the
town hall. The paper also says the
rioters were repulsed without single
soldier being wounded.

2O3 TO 2o9 NORTH SPRING ST., Los ANGELES.
rhanlssgiving Dny in New York city.

Thanksgiving Day in New York City.
1t used to be that Thanksgiving day in
New York was, like the day all over the
eastern part Of the country, day which
centered around a dinner. This dinner
was inevitable, and the families saw each
other then that never saw each other in
group at any other time. The prodigal
returned for it; the poor relation looked
forward to it and praised it as it pro-
gressed heavily through its different
courses; and the several members of the
family tried to be more polite and genial
and loving toward one another at that
meal than at any other of the three times
1855 other meals of the year. There are
some who like family dinners, and there
are other wicked ones who sympathize
with the young woman who assented to
having a family dinner by saying, eyes,
and let us have any family but our own"
1t is an awful and solemn ceremony in
many homes, and it is made more so, as
rule, by-some one Of the elder of the
poor relations, who endeavors to enliven
the general gloom by trying to be ''the
life of the dinner" He does this by
growing reminiscent over the younger
members, and telling how pretty they
were as children, and how they used to
make him tell and retell the old story of
the roast pig he stole the night before
Gettysburg, with which introduction he
promptly tells the old story again.
1t may not be so everywhere, but
around New York city this has all
changed. 1t is not that the families
around the great metropolis love each
other less, or that they have less cause or
less desire to be thankful, but great and
powerful and fascinating rival has come
to take the place of the Thanksgiving
day dinner, and it is known not only in
New York, but from Texas, or wherever
else Yale man is carrying transit, to
Canada, or wherever else the Princeton
man is building a bridge, as the Thanks
giving day game.
And now everybody goes out to see
Princeton and Yale decide the football.

other around a dinner table, grow hoarse
and exhausted in shouting for their fa-
vorite son or the college of their son.

He Aspires TO the Senate and Says Free

CoRsIcANA, Tex, Jan. 9.-In an inter
view today Roger o. Mills was asked
'Will you be candidate for the senate
before called session OF the legisla-
ture?" He replied: 81 will ii there
should be called session."
Questioned as to his attitude on the
free coinage of silver, Mills said Il
have already voted for it, but do not
believe it would in the slightest man
ner relieve the financial distress of the
country. If we persist in the
agitation OF that question, de-
manding it in our national
convention, we will lose in the fall
election all our eastern states and gain
none. We should postpone further agi-
tation of the subject until the tariff is
reduced. On the tariff issue we have
won the country and can hold it."

Serve Things Hot.

Serving things hot, too, goes long
way; if cooks could only be made to
realize that hot food is very rarely criti-
cised they would be more careful in this
respect. An experienced housekeeper
said the other day, "The real reason that
my things are so much liked is not that
they are one bit nicer than any one
else's, but always see that each dish is
served SO piping hot that there is no
chance for much criticism of the flavor"

THERE is a smell of villainous salt
peter in the air. The HERALD is sim
cerely grieved that SO many young peo-
pie, of presumably good instincts, should
think it necessary to kill themselves or
somebody else There seems to be
something peculiar in the atmospheric
and other conditions OF this section. A
few days ago we were obliged to chroni-
Gle the suicide of a young bridegroom at
San Pedro. Next follows the attempted
suicide at Sacramento OF the son Of a
highly-respectable citizen of Los An
geles. Still follows the killing at Santa
Monica, in the early morning yes
terday, Of young saloon-keep-
er, With the extraordinary cir
cumstance that young gentle
man OF high character and amiable
characteristics figures as the slayer.
There is something decidedly melan-
choly in trend Of events, fast throng-
ing, which leads only. to the grave.
Time was when young people found
other advertisements than those which
led up to the tomb. The times are evi-

that no ordinary, work-a-day man sees
exactly how he can set it right.

groom, and Lottie Critzen, of Roseburg,
the bride. During the ceremony the Of

he had serious objections. He said he

Value of Amber During the Roman Empir

value OF Am Der During Che tOman Empire
In such repute was amber in Rome in
the time of the historian Plny that he
remarks sarcastically, "The price of a
small figure in it, however diminutive,
exceeds that Of a living healthy slave"
He observes also. ''True it is that col
lar of amber beads worn about the necks
of young infants is a singular preserva-
tive against secret poison and counter
charm for witchcraft and sorceries." He
says further that as an article of per-
sonal ornamentation amber was used to
produce limitations of precious stones by
artificial staining, a use to which it was
peculiarly adapted owing to it's brilliant
luster, combined with the ease with
which it could be worked and polished.
