POMONA.
An Interesting Mass Meeting to Be
Held-Notes.


POMONA, April 8.-The mass meeting
tonight promises to be mighty interest
in. The pros and cons of the present
situation will be thoroughly cussed and
discussed, and a warm time may be an
ticipated. If the meeting does not re-
suit in more bitter state of things we
shall be thankful. 1t is possible that a
resolution will be introduced calling for
appointment of committee consisting
of ten conservative men on each side of
the controversy to formulate some plan
of compromise. Concessions of course
will have to be made, but whether they
will be is the question.
That cake walk and jubilee concert
was a grand affair, The old melodies
were we'll rendered by George Davis,
Henry Harrison, Gilbert McNally, Miss
Brown and May McNally and Belle
Chapman. There were four contestants
in the walk, and the judges were unable
to agree upon the prize taker, so the
cake was divided equally among the
four. Something over $40 was realized
from the concert.
Charles Burdick was putting out
orange trees in nursery few days
ago. and ran thorn in the index finger

ing as to whether the finger will haveto
be amputated.

Mr.. Snyder Explains.

EDITORS HERALD: wrote to you yes
terday, making few contradictions re-
garding Mr.. Frank Alves' statement con-
cerning the shipping of the non-union
sailors on the ship America. When
made them l was sure that was right,
but since then l have seen two of the
nop-union sailors that came from San
Francisco with the Corona, and from
them l learned that there was another
crew of non-union men shipped, and
that Mr.. Alves was about right in his
statement. was sorry that could not
withdraw the letter that ] wrote before
it was too late, but am willing to apol-
ogize for making the mistake. Not
wishing to make the HERALD medium
for any argument or controversies, and
at the same time thanking the editors
for their interest in publishing my let.
ter, l am, sir, most respectfully yours,
JOHN H. SNYDER.
Los Angeles, Cal.
P. ST. understand that the last crew
shipped were treated very badly, and
some notice should be taken of it.

Bimini and the Fountain of Youth.

Bimini was fabulous island firmly
believed in by the Indians of the An
titles, though they could give no further
clew to its location than that it lay some
hundreds of leagues north of Hispaniola.
On this island was the famous foun-
tain of youth which had the power Of
restoring youth and giving perpetual
health and vigor. 1t was the search for
this fountain that led Ponce de Leon
and fernando de Soto to Florida, on the
outskirts of which the island was gener-
ally supposed to be situated.-St. Louis

THE seed Is planted

THE seed is planted
when you feel "run down" and
"used up" Malarial, typhoid or
bilious fevers spring from tall
sorts of diseases. Don't take any
risk. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery invigorates the system
and repels disease. 1t starts the
torpid liver into healthful action,
purifes and enriches the blood, and
restores health and vigor. As an
appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets
at work all the processes of diges-
ton and nutrition, and builds up
flesh and strength. For all diseases
that come from a disordered liver
and impure blood, skin, scalp and
scrofulous affections, it's the only
remedy that's guaranteed. If it
doesn't benefit or cure in every
case, you have your money back.
You pay only for the good you
get.

.nuired himself Out.

In one of the European parliaments,
when the president finds it necessary to
end an argument, he gravely puts on his
cylinder hat. Though it happened near
ly thirty years ago, people still laugh at
the recollection of a certain president
who, to close celebrated debate, took
up his neighbor's hat by mistake; it was
far too big for him, and falling down
about his ears snuffed him out COM
pletely from the gaze of the crowded
house. youths Companion.

blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr..

Mr.. Blaize sent to the nearest drug

That Engine House Lot.

EDITORS HERALD: In the report of
the fire commissioners in yesterdays
HERALD, it was stated that the lot I
offer tc the city for an engine house is
way below the grade of the street. This
is mistake; the lot is level with the
street curb, while the lot offered by Mr..
Sprague is from one to three feet below
the grade of the street. In fact. the
water from adjoining lots drains onto it.

Why the Wren Is King.

The wren is chased every st. Stephens
Day on account of it betraying the Sav-
iour by chattering in clump of furze
where he was hiding. 1t is called the
king of all birds, because it concealed
itself beneath the wing of the eagle when
that lordly bird claimed supremacy by
soaring highest. Here l am," said the
wren, mounting above the eagles head
when the latter could go no higher. -

The Heart Rests Eight Hours Every Day.

That wonderful piece of mechanism,
the heart, appears to work continually
day and night, from birth to death, but
in reality there are short pauses or rests
between each beat, which, though mi
mute in themselves, mount up in the ag-
gregate to eight hours out of every twen-
ty-four. These short pauses enable the
heart to repair the waste which constant
work entails and without which rests it
would break down.-Brooklyn Eagle.

For the worlds Cbampionsbip

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec, 19.-The two great
est skaters the world knows are in Min
neapolis this week completing prepara-
tions for matches which will attract the
attention of the sporting fraternity of
the two continents. The men are A. d.
Norseng, of Norway, and Joseph F.
Donoghue, of Newburg, N. Y. Norseng
is the champion of Norway and is re-
garded as the fastest man in Europe on
ice. He is credited with having covered
a mile in minutes and 40 seconds, while
he is also the holder of the Worlds rec
ord of 32 minutes and 3Sa seconds for
ten miles. Donoghue inaugurated his
public career by winning the local mile
at Albany in January, 1887. A month
later, on the Hudson river, in front of
his home at Newburg, he skated mile
straightway with the wind in 2 minutes
32 2-5 seconds, and subsequently in 2
minutes 23 is seconds. On January ~,
1888, he won the mile on five lap
course easily in minutes and 27 Sec

on January %, at Van Cortland lake, he

GREAT GUNS.
The First OF the splendid Coast De
fense War ships On Trial
To-day.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 19.-The official
trial of the new coast defense vessel, the
Monterey, will take place in San Fran
cisco bay to-day. The Monterey was
built at the Union Iron works, San Fran
CISCO ana is the first United States vessel
of the strictly "coast defense" type yet
constructed. She is $50 feet long, fifty
nine feet breadth of beam, and will have
mean draft of fourteen feet six inches of
water. She will carry two-twelve inch
and two ten inch high powered steel
rifles, mounted in turrets on her upper
deck. The sides of the vessel are pro-
tected by American armor thirteen inches
thick. The plates contain 3per cent of
nickel and are made under what is termed
the Harvey process. The twelve inch
guns of the Monterey are about thirty
seven feet long, weighing forty-fve tons,
and fire charge of 425 pounds of powder
and a shell weighing $50 pounds. The
weight of the prof is just twice that
between the weights of the projectle and
the charge of powder may be said to be
approximately true of all our modern
naval cannon. The Monterey twelve inch
guns will perforate at close range twenty
four inches of solid steel, and if fired for
extreme range would throw shells dist
ance of twelve miles. The Monterey is
expected to be able to maintain a speed
of sixteen knots per hour. In addition to
her main battery of heavy guns she will
be armed with secondary battery con-
sistlng of six 6-pounder and 4-pounder
rapid fire guns, two gattlings and several
tubes for discharging topedoes. She will
carry crew of about 200 men.
