TWO SMOOTHIES SKIP.
THEY sWINDLED NUMBER OF
CONFIDING PATRONS.
They Proposed to Teach the Art OF
Transferring Pictures-Most Of
Their Dupes Were Women.

William Ellsworth and Charles st.
Clair are the names OF the easternera
who have just worked this town, and
have left for parts unknown, several
hundred dollars ahead of the game.
About month eince these two smooth
les arrived in Los Angeles, and the goth
of last month they hired two front rooms
at 7421S South Spring, near Eighth
street. They were both pleasant and
suave young men and dressed in ex.
quisite style.
They had scheme in which any one
could make money with the slightest
instruction in transferring pictures.
Tempting advertisements were in
serted in the papers, and it is remarks
BILE how many people bit and are now
mourning the loss of their dollars. The
easterners explained everything to the
satisfaction of almost every caller. In
struction was given free and three
months employment was guaranteed at
a remunerative salary, provided certain
little requisites were purchased. At
all events, it cost every one who called
up to see the artists from So to $5.
Scores paid this assessment in the ex-
pectation OF making few dollars. Yes
terday the victims went up to the office
with their work, expecting to get their
first payment for the work given them
by the enterprising artists. They found
the Office vacant. The landlady told a
HERALD reporter yesterday afternoon
that as many as twenty women had
called up there during the day, and
some were very much chagrined to find
out that Messrs. Ellsworth and
st. Clair had departed. Several told
pitiful tales of how they had been
duped, and few of the women had
given up their last dollar. Most of the
victims were women, both old and
young.
1t appears that the artists came to
their studio late Saturday night and
gathered up their belongings and
/ skipped. The matter was reported to
Chief Glass by one of the dupes, but it
is very doubtful if either of the scamps
will be apprehended.

THE LAUNDRY QUESTION.
Some Of the Horrors of Chinese Work
Advantages of steam Cleaning.

Some OF the Horrors Of Chinese Work.
Advantages OF steam Cleaning.
Some notice has recently been made
by the papers of the laundry question
in this city. A representative of the
HERALD yesterday made some inquiries,
resulting as follows: The steam laun-
dries here have invested great deal of
money. The capital put in can scarcely
be said to bring in reasonable interest.
Any one who puts in laundry plant
with the idea of making money will be
badly disappointed. The Chinese laun-
dries are numerous, and prices are so
low that white men cannot compete.
just why white people patronize Chi
nese laundries, it is hard to say. Any
one who spends few minutes in front
OF a Chinese laundry looking at
the Mongolians at their work
must have strong stomach. Look
at that native OF the fowery kingdom in
your laundry next time you pass bis
place. He has a face on him which, for
pure ugliness, is q study. 1t is yellow
and wrinkled and sinister in appear
ance. Watch him iron your starched
goods. This caricature of human be-
ing lifts bowl of water to his lips and
thoroughly mixes a draught of water
with Chinese saliva. There ia almost
always little admixture OF opium in
the saliva, and you cannot be sure there
is not leprosy,. scrosula or something
worse. The saliva and other ingredi-
ents are then squirted over your linen
and dried on the surface with a hot
iron. 1t is a sickening performance.
Even if the Chinaman's saliva was pure
it would be disgusting, but the China
man is usually diseased, and if you
escape contamination it is your good
fortune only.
Compare the work done by the China
men with that of the white laundries.
Go through the steam rooms and see
how clean everything is. The few
cents more paid to white labor is money
we'll spent. Besides, the money you
pay goes to make the hones of people of
OF your own race happier. The money
paid the Chinaman, if spent at all here.
goes to encourage the most hideous
vices. Every Chinaman in California
is a miniature Sodom and Gomorrah. In
place Of the homes where the white
laundrymen and women live there are
scenes in the Chinese quarters which
make the observer, no matter how stout
hearted he is shudder to think that
these creatures can be called human
beings.
The Troy laundry alone spends about
six hundred dollars week in this city,
every cent of which goes into circulation
here. 1t is model establishment and
one of which any city might be proud.
If the public would but investigate the
fact that white laundry work pays best
would quickly be seen. Considering
everything the white laundry charges
here are as moderate as in any city in
the world,

silk manufactures there is decrease

manufactures of flax 81 100000, and
in eggs 100000. These few changes
have given to American labor tine

100000 of goods formerly purchased

averages 500 yearly, this means ad
ditional employment for l27,00o

But it must also be noted that inn
ports of some products have in

So, loo,o 900, and miscellaneous metals,

have purchased more than before, as
of decorated china, 81 800, 900, and
of kid gloves, 100000. There is
also some increase in imports of
silver crowned and plate glass.
No one can candidly review these
facts without seeing that the new
tariff is not the senseless and stupid
device of protectionists run mad,
which some have supposed it. First
of all, il reduces the duties on vastly
more articles than it advances in
duty, even exclusive of sugar, of
which alone more than $1,000, 900
worth has been imported free of
duty in six months. Second, it does
not hinder increased imports of ma
terials of industry, even in the case
of wool. But, third, it does stimu-
late American production in some
branches, to such an extent that
more than $54, 100000 worth of
few classes of goods are now OBJ
tanned by employment of American
laborers, which were formerly OBJ
tanned by employment of foreign
labor. Is there an American of any
class, who is not grossly and suicid-
ally selfish in his spirit, who can OBJ
ject to such changes as these?

The vonomous Reptile Gets Loose and
Causes ~ Panic.

/ causes finic.
Rather an. exciting affair, i'm which a
rattlo'snahe played the most important
/ part, occurred in Post street cable
ear the other day. At the corner OF
Stockton street tall, cadaverous-look-
ing youth boarded the car. In one
hand he held a large tin-can covered
with bit of newspaper.
No one would have paid any atten-
ton to him if he had not kept tapping
on the can with his finger, and holding
ii up to his ear, while pleased grin
overspread his features. A queer buzz
ling sound seemed to issue from the
! can, and at times was plainly heard
above the rumble of the car Finally
woman seated near asked what the
can contained.
"A rattlesnake," was the careless re-
ply.
Without delay she signaled the con-
ductor to stop the car, and left in "a
hurry, terror depicted on her face. Still
the loud buzzing continued
Good joke. young man, good joke to
make her think you had rattlesnake
in that can," said little man in a trebl
voice, rubbing his hands together, as
Turk street was reached ''Why. about
forty years ago"
But the little old man never finished
the sentence, for as hepspoke he tapped
the can with his cane TO illustrate his
reminiscent remarks, and tapped il so
hard that the paper was broken and the
ugly black head of vicious specimen
of crotalus horridus protruded. In the
excitement the can was dropped on the
car floor and the snake escaped from it.
B-z-Z-z-Z! b-z-z-z
The car was filled with sounds that
resembled a chorus of half n dozen To-
Gusts, as the riptile assumed spiral shape
and prepared to strike the first moving
object within reach. The object hap
pened to be the little mans leg. He
nearly tainted from fright, and was too
feeble to get up on the seats as quickly
as the other passengers did.
The RATHER suddenly Strengthened out
his body and struck, but miscalculated
the distance, and the little mans life
was saved, for he was dragged out of
reach of the deadly fangs before the
snake could strike again. The car was
stopped and the remaining passengers
alighted, leaving the rattler in full pos
session, but not for long, because the
gripman entered with long iron crow.
bar lie dealt blow at the snake, but
missed, and, had he not jumped back
in the nick of time, the enraged rep
tiles fangs would have been buried in
his leg. The second blow broke the
rattler's back, and he was soon dis
patched and thrown into the street.
