THE LARGEST SHIP AFLoAT.

The sailing ship Maria Riclsmers, re-
Gently launched at the Russell yards, at
Port Glasgow, Scotland, is claimed TO
be the largest sailing ship in the world.
She is 375 feet long with "a breadth of
beam Of 4S feet, draws % feet of water
and has over so feet OF hold. Her net
tonnage is 1922, and over double that
OF carrying capacity. She is built of steel,
with double bottom all fore and aft.
with deep midship tank for carrying
ballast She is rugged as IA fve-masted
bark, carrying double top-gallant sails
and single royals on four of her nasts
and slSysails on three, and carrying al
together about 1900 square feet of cam
vas. An unusual feature in her con-
struction is that she is fitted with aux
iliary triple expansion engines, and ma
chinery of sufficient power TO give her
a speed of about seven knots during
Gains and very light winds. She is
provided with double-bladed feather
ing propeller wheel, which does not in
terfere with her steering qualities when
moving under sail alone. The Maria
Rickrners was built for the firm of
Ricluners & Co., rice mi}lers of Bremen,
Germany, and win be used in the rice
carrying trade between Burmah and
Bremen. She is now at sea on her
maiden voyage from Glasgow to Singa-
pore.
As compared with the big American
ship Shenandoah, the Maria Ricllmcrs
is so feet longer, one foot less beam,
and has the same draught as the Shen-
andoah. At the same time she carries
nearly 1000 more yards of canvas and
has a much larger tonnage. The Shen-
andoah is now the largest sailing vessel
in the world, although undoubtedly the
largest wooden vessel ahoat. The
nearest competitor to the Maria Rick
ners is tho huge iive-mastcd sailing ship
La France, which is the same length,
s75 feet, is one foot wider but has less
draught, and is in net tonnage 222 tons
less. 1t is claimed for the Maria Rick
srSers that she can make from fourteen
To fifteen knots an hour, with sail power
None. Her steam power is purely auxil-
lasy}and is only to be used in case OF
Gains Her speed yet remains to be de-
tcrmincd, however, and her ability to
make what she claims is doubted by
sailors on this side of the globe. Amer
lean shipmasters say she lacks that
grace of line and ease of movement for
which American ships are noted, and
that she is too clumsy to develop any
great degree Of speed.

game of 'polSere." We learn also that
an unusually large number of five
oclockards" young men fond of after
noon teal were present at the five
o'clock tea of Nine. de L" Looking
n little further, we find that 'dudes"
and 'mashers' unfortunately exist in
Paris, and that young women who
"fiirte" are not unknown, although
they are warned in a serious para
graph, evidently without the least in
tention to employ slang, that the
amusement is not safe one and they
are likely TO get left" Indeed, of all
the phrases which the French now Dor
row, American slang seems to be the
most popular.

TAKING TO AMERICAN SLANG.

Partisan Newspapers and People Rapidly
Absorbing CiSatiantic Expressions.
The use of French words and phrases
by English writers is rapidly going ont
of fashion. 1t is now considered in bad
taste to employ French for anything
which can be equally well expressed in
our own language. Fashion has turned
the tables. We discard French. The
Parisians adopt English. One can hard
iy pick up a French novel or newspaper,
says the Argonaut, which is not plenti-
fully sprinlSled with English--some-
times pure English, sometimes inten-
tentionally modified English, some
times English curiously transformed
through ignorance. lie Sport is the
regular heading to the sporting column
of famous French daily in which may
be found statements about Jockeys"
'trotters," yachts and even OCCASION
al mention of those forms Of amusement
known as Gle cricket and "basebal."
Upon the same page reporter sent TO
interviewer distinguished foreigner
declares him TO be ''un parfait gentle
man." and goes on to describe his per-
sonal appearance and dress, including
such garments as an ulster" a
Derby" and "A "Gladstone-collar."
The political news includes mention
of lie grand boss" dark horse" and
n ring" although these phrases are
used only in speaking of American
politics. Among the sensational items
near by is one describing the doings of
lie Judge Lynch en- Texas" and ex-
pressing horror at the escape of 'les
lyncheurs' after hanging ''le lynche"
to the bough Of tree and piercing him
with bullets. We turn from this record
of barbarism TO the society column
and discover that our French friends
are not aahamed TO import from Amer
lea new forms Of entertainment. At n
soiree OF Marquise dc x we are
informed that game long popular in

FRUIT WORKERS.
ONTARIO OPER RATIvES OBJECT TO A
REDUCTION OF WAGES.
A Statement from One of the Men.
Considerable Reduction - Some
Talk of a Strike - The
Situation.

The labor question is now agitating
tine workers in fruit canning establish
ments in various places in Southern
California, and notably in Ontario.
Here strike is by no means impossible.
The HERALD cannot of course properly
enter into controversy on the matter
without nrst making thorough inves-
tigation, but representative of the
workers made the following statement
yesterday to the HERALD reporter,
which states their side of the question !:
''The scale of wages in the Ontario
cannery was reduced from IS cents to 15
cents per hour Monday morning by a
decree of the management, and as con-
sequence there is much dissatisfaction
among the employees. For the last five
years the rate of wages in Ontario has
been 50 per day of nine hours. Because
the cannery was a new ven ture, the
men consented to work ten hours per
day for S1.S0, which, we believe, is
about the rate paid for similar work
throughout Southern California.
"You will readily see why we, the
employees of said company, object to
the reduction made on Monday morn
ing, when you consider that board and
lodging cannot be secured in Ontario for
less than So. 30 per week. This gives an
able-bodied man net earning of So so
per week if heworks six days, and many
of us do not get in full time. The girls
and women make from So to So per week
for cutting fruit, and are also dissatisfied.
The skilled men in the Gaping and
cooking departments are the only ones
who receive good pay.
"a Los Angeles employment agent
was here last week, and informed the
manager of the cannery that he could
furnish plenty of help for 81. 80 per day,
and when we made protest at the re-
duetion on Monday morning we
were intimidated by threat
that the cheap men would be
brought out from your city. If they
come they will be brought here under
false pretenses, as we believe no intelli-
gent man will come here and work for
$3.50 per day, knowing the cost Of living
and the circumstances under which he
would be placed. The citizens of the
community extend to us their sympathy
and moral support. II Chinese or dagos
are brought here, the public will resist
them. Ii intelligent white men who
are hunting work are made cognizant of
the circumstances, we have no fear they
will take our places in case we strike"

POMONA.
City Marshal Lorbeer's Chase-A New
Fruit Firm.

City Marshal Lorbeer's Chase-A New
Fruit Firm.
POMONA, July 26.-City Marshal John
W. Lorbeer entered the pugilistic ring
yesterday, not from choice but dire ne
cessity. He entered it with manly
vigor and came out unscathed in truly
John L. Sullivan style. Frank White
was condemned to languish behind iron
bars for sixty days, as vagrant. Mr..
White was placed in jail, and sometime
during the afternoon the day waned as
all days do, the fashionable O'Clock
dinner hour arrived and thereby hangs
tale. The marshal proceeded to the
jail, unlocked the cell door, stepped in,
placing the viands in tempting arrav on
the table, when 10 the impolite guest
waited not upon the order of going, but
went, boiling through the door like a
cannon ball.
In a flash Mr.. Lorbeer darted after,
him and please race ofseveral
blocks ensued.
On Mr.. Lorbeer capturing White he
belabored away at the marshal in good
style, but he will think twice before he
tries to down that officer again.
A house was dragged its slow way
home through our streets today by house
movers. On such occasions queries
arise, Whose house is it? Where is it
going? Where did it come from? An
swered: Mr.. GettsmaD, section hand,
moved from the southwest portion of
town, and will be set down north of the
steam laundry.

Angeles, is the guest of Mrs. M. j. Simp-
son, South PARCELS street.

house, north of the railroad track,
landed upon some movable object, re-
ceiving fall in consequence and break
ing two bones in the right leg, just
above the ankle.
Cook & Langley have entered the field
as dryers and shippers of our fruits, with
headquarters at North Pomona. Mr..
Armstrong is manager-in-chief. This
firm during the first of the season was
shipper of green fruit, and has now es-
tablished drying yards in time for the
peaches and other fruits that will fol-
low.
James Beckett and family will depart
