Dec. 9:
1.-The stretch of country from
Poplaryille to Hattiesburg embraces
some of the very best timber lauds
in the State. There are quite a
number of towns along this road
none very large, but all contrib
uting their share to the business of
the country. Poplarville is larger
than the average town between
here and New Orleans, and does a
fair business. The Poplarville
FREE PRESS is published there,
and is live, wide awake journal.
The inhabitants are progressive
aud are exerting every faculty to
improve their town. The stops be-
tween Poplarvlle and Purvls are

the several branches of the state govern
mental Albany. Our Republican friends
call this stealing a legislature. AS
matter of fact, it was in effect prevent
ing q legislature from being stolen by
the Republicans. Governor Hills ac-
tion was spirited, and the man and the
hour had happily conjoined. That it
was an action of Jacksonian firmness is
undoubted, but the fact that neither
Republican nor Mugwump journals can
get over is that the supreme court OF the
state of New York, in formal adjudi-
cation, sustained every act of Governor
Hill. Charles A. Dana, the brilliant
editor of the New York Sun, was no less
outspoken than ex-senator Brown.
He was unhesitating in stat
ing to the reporter of a
Boston paper that Governor Hill
was the overwhelming choice OF the
Democracy OF New York, and that if
nominated he would be elected. He
dismissed contemptuously the opposi-
tion to Hill in his own state; and, in
deed, on an inspection of the names of
those who figured at the Cooper Insti-
tute meeting, it does not seem to have
any vitality. Why any Democrats
should get excited at the prospect Of
the nomination for president Of man
whom Governor Roswell P. Flower pro-
nounced "the best and ablest leader the
Democratic party has had in the past
forty years. it puzzles us to see. MIR.
Hill seems to be inspired by the very
genius of success. His knightly figure
is decidedly the most inspiring the
Democrats have seen in many a day.
The attempts to besmirch him have
proved miserable failures; and every
primary election reported from his own
state is clarion note in his vindication.

calls the fact that, in addition to her
other strong claims on the favor of the
public and of those seeking homes,
South Riverside has considerable pre-
tensions as manufacturing center.
She is the point from which the tin from
the Cajalco will be shipped to the mar
ket, and is the mart in which all the
business of the hundreds of miners who
will be employed in developing these
tin lodes will be transacted. In
addition, the works of the Pacific
Clay Manufacturing company are located
at South Riverside, and this OF itself
promises to be great industry. The
clay in this immediate neighborhood ad-
mits of the manufacture of very fine
quality of vitrifed sewer and water pipe
The Porphyiy Paving company, the
Standard Fertilizing company and two
pottery works are also in full blast in
South Riverside, and are doubtless a
mere hint OF what will be developed in
these lines in the near future.
The spectacle presented in South
Riverside is one calculated to interest
any one who cares to note the develop
ment of new country. A second Riv-
erside is as sure to grow up there as
that the right will succeed the day, In
addition, its manufacturing facilities are
apt to attain gratifying proportions. If
the tin mines in the mountains back of
the town should attain the di-
mensions of those OF Cornwall
proposition which many intelli-
gent people are ready to champion
the exquisite beauty and productiveness
of the valley will have behind them a
substantial backing such as few places
in Southern California possess. How
ever that may be, as center of delight
full homes, surrounded by every form of
poetical and gracious vegetation and
flora, South Riverside is sure to be one
of the phenomenal colony successes OF
this section, an agreeable destiny which
her charming neighbor, Auburndale,
will share.

THE bichloride OF gold treatment for
drunkenness is the occasion of great
deal of discussion of late. There are
two interesting questions in connection
with this new panacea. The first is
whether it does not produce death as a
secondary effect, in many instances.
This phase of the matter is suggested
by the sudden ending of young Jim
Fair, and of many others in the east,
whose cases have been reported in the
newspapers. The second is, whether it
really cures the appetite for strong
drink. The number of relapses from
supposed confirmed teetotalism are be-
coming alarmingly frequent. For cure
which makes such authoritative claims
it seems to have fallen from it's high es-
tate. The most conspicuous instance of
all was in the case of John R. Mines, a
literary man of some note, who had
written much under the nom de pla.Dae
of Felix Old Boy" and who contrib
uted an article on this topic to mid
summer number OF the North American
Review, in which he asserted positive
cure in his own case. Six weeks later
Mr.. Mines died from deliriua trensens in
q public hospital.

SUPERIOR TO BUTTER.
DR.. Ames an Ardent Advocate of the
Use of Butterine.

Dr. Howard E. Ames of the United Statee
navy, who has taken so prominent part in tn
various discussions during the convention of
the American Public Health association, is
probably one of the most thoroughly informed
men on the question of proper and nutritious
food in the United States. One of the articles
of food to which he has paid particular atten-
tion is butterine, which he considers a far su-
perior article of diet to butter.
''The reason it is not more common article
of diet" he explained to a reporter of the Star,
sis because of popular prejudice, founded
largely upon imagination and careless state
ments made by many uninformed persons. and,
as matter of fact there isn't one in 10000
who can tell the difference between the two.
The nutritious value is fully equal to that of
butter; it is much cheaper, and when properly
made will remain sweet and fit for consump-
tion much longer.
"There might be some argument against but
terine made in small establishments where the
material from which it is made is allow ed to
accumulate tor several days, but in the large
establishments like those in this city, where
the material is taken from animals killed the
same day, the butterine is more free from i'm
purites than butter. There is more fermenta-
ton or putrefactive change in milk than the
other materials, and the best butterine is that
made with the least milk.
HThe manufacture OF buttertne in properly
constructed factories is much more clean, too,
than the manufacture of butter, and the fac
tories here, notice, are nearly perfect in that
respect The matter used for coloring is in no
way injurious, and the high temperature to
which the materials are subjected perfectly
sterilizes them. 1 have seen butterine and but
ter put up In cans at the same time, and when
opened ten or twelve months later the butterine
was sweet, while the butter was rancid and
unfit for use.
"The idea is to educate the people up to
using it. l have recommended its use for the
regular rations in the army and navy, and am
satisfied that it will prove better article of
food than butter. IL should be more generally
used and not looked upon as an inferior arti-
Gle and makeshift for butter, when it is really
superior. ~ Kansas City Star.
N. B. DR.. Ames represented the United States
government at the recent convention held in
Kansas City by the American Public Health
association.

JOHN Maxwell SKINNER.
The Funeral of Highly Esteemed
Man.


The obsequies of the late John Max
we'll Skinner took place from his late
residence, 1888 Carroll avenue, yester-
day afternoon. The funeral was un-
doubtedly the largest ever held in Los
Angeles. 1t was attended by very
large number OF the city's most promi-
nent and leading citizens and also by
large delegation OF honest toilers. That
every one who knew the deceased ad-
mired him was fully shown by the
large concourse of people that lament
ingly paid their last respects to his
memory. The funeral was held under
the auspices of the Masonic fraternity.
Southern California lodge No. 27S con-
Quoted the services.
By 2 O'Clock, the time set for the
funeral, the residence OF the deceased
was unable to accommodate the many
mourners, and some time was consumed
before the ceremonies began, waiting
for the multitude of friends to pass the
coffin and take their last look at the
peaceful countenance of the deceased.
| The floral tributes were very numerous
and fairly buried the beautiful casket
from sight. The Rev. DR.. Henry
Newell OF Bethany church, opened the
ceremonies with fervent prayer, and
in his address that followed paid high
tribute to the memory OF the deceased.
This peroration, which was beautiful
and pathetic, brought tears to the eyes
OF all who were present. " Nearer
My God to Thee" was then sung
by quartette composed OF VIII
liam E. Deity, j. Newkirk, Louis
Cinnamon and Mr.. Chipron, all
friends of the deceased, who sang in a
very touching manner. The members
of the Masonic order then took charge
of the funeral, and it can be said with
out fear of contradiction that it was the
largest attendance of Master Masons
and Royal Arch Masons, ever seen here
on an occasion of this kind. The mem
bers viewed the body of their late
brother and then escorted his remains
to the place of intermenJ in the Ever
green cemetery, where the beautiful
ceremonies of the order were conducted
and which were concluded by the quar-
tette singing, Come Unto Me.
The pail bearers were Hervey Lindley,
Charles H. Humphreys, @. F. A. Last,
O. w. Morgan, Clarence Stewart and E.
lnOmaS HugneS.
Thus was the last tribute paid to a
just and honest man, a loving and atfec-
tionate husband, and kind and in
dulgent father. 1t would not be proper
to let the vail of death be drawn over
this noble man without tribute to his
memory, which will ever be green in
the hearts and minds of those who knew
him. He was distinguished among his
fellow men by the possession of marked
mental endowments, and so happily did
he use them, and with such effective
grace, tnat he won and preserved the
esteem and love of all who came within
his influence. In his private and social
intercourse he was amiable, confiding
and generous to a fault. Few men in
our midst acquired more numerous and
devoted friends. His loss is not an or
dinary one. Requiescat in pace.

FLASHED A STAR.
A YOUNG MAN GETS INTO SERIOUS
TROUBLE.
ing an Officer and Extorting Money.
Two Sides to the Story, However.

A young man who gave his name as
Reed was arrested last night in China
town by Officer Inns for impersonating
an officer and exactiEg hush money
ffom some Chinese gamblers. The Chi
namen claim that the prisoner came to
their place of business, where they were
engaged in a quiet little Sunday night
game of casino. Reed flashed a police
badge on them and arrested two of the
players. He marched them to Los An
geles street near First, and taking them
into an alley promised to let them go if
they would put up $5 apiece. One of
them claims to have paid the required
sum, but the other had no money with
him. At any rate the Cinnamon were
released, and returned at once to
Chinatown, where they complained
to Officer Inns. The latter
went OH a hunt for Reed,
and barber named King, who had
been in his company during the even
ing. He found the two in Niger alley,
and took them to the police station.
There no money was found on Reed,
but he had badge with the inscription,
Lawson Patrol, No. T." He was
locked up, while King was released
The other side of the story is very
different. The two young men, who
hitherto have borne good regulations,
went to Chinatown on a frolic, and got
into "chuck-a-luck" game, in which
King participated, while Reed was only
an onlooker. Through some ingenious
trickery the heathen succeeded in win
ming Kings money, and Reed flashed
the old Lawson badge to intimidate
them into giving up their ill-gotten
gains. The gamblers returned 50 to
King, and the young men left the joint.
Both Reed and King told precisely the
same story, though examined separate
ly. They claim that they never left
Chinatown, and it really does not seem
plausible that they would return to the
Asiatic colony had they committed the
crime they are charged with by the
ceestials.

Mr. Mihran's Grand Sale of Turkisl
Goods.

MIR. Mihran's Grand Sale of Turkish
Goods.
Los Angeles people had a feast in Turk
ish goods on Saturday. Mr.. Mihran' g
store, 246 South Spring street, was well
crowded by select class of people.
At 10:30 a. m. the sale opened with
character OF the sale. Mr.. Mihran ex-
pressed his great pleasure in seeing
many familiar faces of his old custom
ers, which was a full testimony of his
unquestionable reputation.
The sale was grand one, 80 far as the
amount was concerned, but the prices,
to their great surprise, were very low.
The beauty of his genuine goods and
the low prices tempted many who had
come only to see and to hear him.
Even tourists were tempted to buy and
to ship to the east, who said that they
could not buy there at double the price.
Every article when knocked down peo-
pie expressed their surprise for the cheap.
ness with Sigh, and all were whisper.
ing that such low prices were never
before seen.
This grand sacrifice sale will continue
today also. The sale commences at 10 &c
Spring street. Today some especially
fine goods will be offered. Biggest bar
gains naturally go at the start of the
sale, therefore early attendance is ad-
vantageous.
1t must be remembered that Mr..
Mihran's sales only last two or three
days. He never makes long, tiresome
sales; he is quick. Sells in one day
hot okh
saves many extra expenses.
Three things are necessary to make
competition: First, to buy cheap and
from the very place; second, to bring di-
rect and save expenses; third, to win
customers with fair and satisfactory deal
iDgs, which three requirements Mr..
Mihran is the only person who has full
filled.
"Of course" he said, "those who buy
in Chicago and New York at high prices
and paying enormous freight try on this
coast, saying direct imported can never
meet the requirements of an auction,
and are obliged to carry limitations to
make out even"
The object OF attending an auction is
to get bargains. What is the use oi
spending time at a humbug sale where
nothing is sold unless it brings more
than New York store prices. People
are warned against this kind OF sale
At Mr.. Mihran's sale buyers can fee
safe, as all'who attend on Saturday will
tell that this is true. There is no hum
bug business done at his sale, and he
employs the most renowned auctioneerf
of this city and does not carry with him
any salaried auctioneers, as many 9th.
ers do to fool the people.
