A REMARKABLE LETTER.
A Prominent Professional Mans Extra
ordinary Statement.
New York Sun.

| VAaAAeAy 0s0sSshSAss
New York Sun.
To THE EDITORS: Sir-As my name
and face have appeared in your paper
and the public prints lately, and as
many of my professional brethren are
wondering at it, feel it only just that 1
should make an explanation. The state
ment published in my name was made
ten years ago, after long and mature in,
vestigation, and l have never changed
that time l said, as a physician, that 1
believed Warmers Safe Cure was the
best OF all known preparations for the
troubles it was advocated to cure, and 1
sag so still. know it is considered the
proper thing for the medical profession
to decry proprietary and other adver-
tised articles; but why should they do
go? As the late DIR. J. G.. Holland,
writing over his own name in Scribner's
Monthly, said:
"It is fact that many of the best
propr etary medicines of the day are
more successful than many physicians,
and most of them were first discovered
or used in actual medical practice;
when, however, any person knowing
their virtue and foreseeing their popu-
larity secures and advertises them, in
the opinion of the bigoted all virtue
went out of them"
DR.. Holland was an educated physi-
clan, an unpreiudiced observer, and he
spoke from broad and unusual expert
ence. Proprietary medicines should
no be decried. The evidences of their
value are overwhelming. I have seen
patients recover from gravel, inflamma-
ton of the bladder and Bright's disease
after using Warmers Safe Cure, even
when all other treatment had failed.
I make this frank and outspoken
statement in the interests of humanity
and because 1 know it to be true. l
trust for the same reason you will give
it to the public. Respectfully,
r. A. GUM,
No. 124 w. Forty-seventh street, New
York, March l.

LETTER BAG.
CITY Lands and Titles,

OlCY LAuU8 Anu Altl0Ss
EDITORS HERALD: In your report ot
the council proceedings of yesterday
you state that the difference between
my bid of $4,000 and that of the A. and
T. L. company of $3.50 was because:
'The abstract company has kept up its
data on titles to date, while Mr.. Mel
will would have to look up all the
Deeds"
In this you have done me an injus-
tice, and ask you to publish the fol-
lowing:
1. have in my Office abstracts OF
the grants and deeds made by the city /;
also of the proceedings of the city coun-
Gil affecting lands, streets and waters,
posted to the tracts affected.
2. The request of the city was bids for
Furnishing map and report showing
the lands belonging to the city, as shown
by the records of the city and county"
Mr.. Gibson and myself both point out
in our bids the fact that lands belong
ing to the city are held in many cases
by individuals without legal title
thereto. He proposes on the part of
the A. and T. l. company to disregard
all such matters and confine ourselves
to those lands to which there are no
private claims" While, on the con-
trary, proposed to show not only all
the remaining lands which the city had
acquired by their patent, as modified by
the United States, but those portions
which had been reconveyed to it in vari-
GUS ways as parks, etc.. in brief. all
the lands to which the records show
that the city is entitled.
In conclusion, the A. and I. l. COM
pany constitutes itself court and jury
and decides whether the lands held in
private possession have been lost to the
city, while proposed to show all lands
which the records disclose as belonging
to the city; and if, upon investigation,
it is found that any of said lands are In
private hands the city authorities can
then for themselves decide whether to
acquiesce in such possession or call
upon the courts to assist them in pro-
tecting the rights of the public. 1t is
only by judicial determination that
rights of parties can be determined
under the statute of limitations.
From the above it appears either that
the call for bids was too indefinite to
disclose what the city wanted; or else
the action of the council is contradic-
ton of what l supposed they wanted
when they asked for plat of ''all lands
belonging to the city, as shown by the
records OF the city and county" Very
respectfully, j. II. MELvILL.

on Boyle avenue, along State street and

on Boyle avenue, along State street and
Chicago avenue.
The wall of the reservoir on Chicago
avenue, opposite the residence of John
Leslie White, fell in yesterday. Much
dissatisfaction is expressed at the man.
ner in which the brick-work was done.
Mr.. Tom Wood, of the Pawnee, who
is general favorite with the people ol
Boyle Heights, expects to purchase sew.
eral lots on Pennsylvania avenue and
erect residence in which he and his
family will permanently reside.
Mr.. Dillon, a thorough mechanic and
bricklayer of reputation, has secured
the contract for laying the brick on the
White block, and commenced the work
yesterday. Mr.. Dillon has been con-
tractor in this city for number of years
and has erected large number OF resi-
dences and business houses and has
given general satisfaction.
1t has been kept quiet, but neverthe-
less it has occurred. Five weeks ago
Mr.. Jesse Thornton, a young gentleman
well and favorably known on the
Heights, was married to Miss Mary
Workman, the beautiful daughter Of
Hon. Joe Workman. Mr.. and Mrs.
Workman, father and mother of the
bride, opposed the marriage, but as
"love laughs at locksmiths," it occurred
just the same. Mr.. and Mrs. Thornton
are now residing on the east side
and have the best wishes OF host of
friends.
Apropos of the case OF young Dillon,
who was sent to the reform school not
long ago, it has been ascertained that
Mr.. Fyfeld, the party who it was sup
posed young Dillon robbed, did not have
even SO worth of furniture, jewelry or
household goods of any kind at the
time OF the reported robbery. DR.. Geo.
w. Campbell and other reputable citi-
zens of the Heights do not approve of
the treatment accorded to young Dillon.
Quite a sensation occurred Friday
which, however, was not known gener-
ally until yesterday, when it was circu-
lated that Marion Benedict destroyed a
fence belonging to John L. White, and
as it appears to be only work of spite
on the part OF Mr.. Benedict, quite a
feeling of indignation appeared on the
surface and the general verdict seems
to approve the fact that Mr.. Benedict
was rather hasty in his actions.
The rag baby party given last evening
by the ladies of the Boyle Heights
Presbyterian church was decided sue
cess. Mrs. DR.. Carlisle, Mrs. Donnell,
Mrs. Mudgett, Mrs. w. S. Young, Miss
Nye and others too numerous to men,
tion deserve praise for their efforts in
making the entertainment such a COM
plete success.

MONTANA MATTERS.
A Prominent Democrat from That State
in the City.

IN the lily.
Maj. Jerry McCarty, one of the most
prominent Democrats OF Montana, is in
the city, and paid the HERALD Office a
pleasant call last evening. CT course
Major McCarty naturally believes that
Montana is the greatest state in the
union, although an infant so far as the
admission is concerned, yet in mineral
wealth recognizes no other state as
superior.
So far as politics are concerned, Major
McCarty says that twelve months ago
Montana was for Cleveland, but if the
delegates were elected today the state
would instruct for Hill. Gov. Joe X.
Toole, Major McCarty thinks, feels con-
fdent he will be one of the next United
States senators. Toole has made most
excellent executive, governor for the
people and of the people, and all
love him. A fine lawyer; a perfect gen.
tleman; easy OF approach and without
guile, Governor Toole has made himself
so popular personally that he could
not be defeated for any position that
he might offer himself for. Hon. John
7. Baldwin or Hon. w. Y. Penberten
are prominently spoken of for governor,
says Major McCarty, and either would
carry the state.
Major McCarty will remain here sew
eral days and then return home,
carrying with him the impression that,
outside OF Butte City, Montana, there is
no such place as Los Angeles.
Yesterday Maj. Jerry McCarty and
Capt. E. D. Aiken OF Butte City, Mon
tana, in company with several promi-
nent real estate agents, paid visit to
different parts OF the city and expressed
themselves as being favorably impressed
with Boyle Heights. These gentlemen
are wealthy capitalists of the silver
state and are well pleased with Southern
| California.

RELEASED FROM CUSTODY.
Judge Smith Discharges Charles Fisher
an Alleged Insane.

Yesterday Charles Fisher, or "Old
Dad Fisher" of Compton, as he is called,
was brought before Judge Smith of the
superior court on insanity proceedings.
Fisher is SO years old and was examined
by Drs. Kannon and Kuhrts. His two
young sons were placed on the stand
and one of them testified that his father
had recently given him a severe whip
ping, but admitted that he had deserved
it. 1t was also charged that Fisher had
ATTEMPTED to commit suicide by cutting
one of the veins in his throat. Fisher
stated that he had been troubled with a
rush of blood to the head and took this
method of relieving it. Judge Smith
DISCHARGED him from custody.

The demon Of cholera must have grinned
when he saw landed at Hoboken, " j., rolls Of
old bandages Of the hospitals of Germany
When the steamer State of Alabama arrived
here December with quantity OF rags COL
lected in Germany a protest was made
against the admission of her cargo,
and Acting Health Officer Seguine
refused to pass the rags. It was claimed then
that the rags were all clean and of the highest
grade. SO when DIR. Jenkins returned to quar-
antine three days later he was induced on these
representations to issue permit to admit the
cargo.
The rags were landed at the foot of 4th street.
Hoboken and placed in warehouses.
The New York Recorder says, "A few DAYS
afterward, when the rags were sampled pre-
parstory to being offered for sale. the discov-
cry was made that many bales were filed with
rags stained with blood and other matter Al
though the bales were stamped 'disiufected' it
was evident that they had come direct from
hospitals, where they had been used for ban
dages and poultices.
''It is said that statements Of these facts we're
made to Surgeon General Wyman, both BY let
ter and telegram, demanding an immediate in
vestigation, but that no reply has been received
from him. 1t is said, too, that since then most
of these rags have been sold and scattered over
the country"
The steamer Martels, due today, has a cargo
OF 800 bales Of German and French rags Dr.
jenkins is determined not to pass them until he
Is satisfied that they have been thoroughly dis
infected.

GEN. WHITFIELD HONORED.
A Handsome Present Given Him by H
Late Post Office Associates.

Handsome Present Given Him by His
Late Post Office Associates.
The officials of the Post OAlce Department
left their desks for short time this morning
to perform a task which combined the ele-
ments Of duty and pleasure. Since the depart
ure Of Gen. Whitfield who filled SO credit,bly
for three years the position of first assistant
postmaster general, to accept more lucrative
offer from Chicago firm the many friends in
that bureau which he made by his uniform
courtesy and kindness to all with whom he
came in contact have been anxious to present
him with some token of their appreciation
This morning their desires were carried out
Through Postmaster General Wanamaker
who acted as spokesman, Gen. Whitfield was
presented with very handsome solid silver
service set and several pieces OF cut glass ware,
the total value of which was $3.50 The pre-
sentation was made in the red parlor of the
Ebbitt House, where about twenty of his as
sociates in the Post Office Department had con-
gregated. Among those present were Gen.
Hazen, third assistant postmaster general; Col
Rathbone, fourth assistant, J. Lowrie Bell,
Sixth Auditor Coulter, Capt J. +. White Mai

Donaldson, NJ. d. Wheeler, W. s. McGinniss,
A. c. Scott. David Liebhardt, r. D. Ash, In
spectors Stoddard, Fisher and Conard and As
sistant Superintendent Metcalf
In making the presentation speech Mr.. Wan
amsker said: Christmas week can bring
nothing more pleasant to US than the oppor-
tunity OF again seeing Gen. Whitfield and Of
fering to him something In remembrance of
the happy times when he was one of the leaders
of the department.
The Postmaster General spoke In most COM
pllmentary terms Of his recent assistants work
during his connection with the department.
and remarked that while there were a great
many things that Gen. Whitefeld could do
there were some things that he could not ac-
cornplish-"he could not be discourteous, he
could not forget others and he could not
neglect his work"
Gen. Whitfield accepted the handsome mark
OF esteem In few words that were most ap-
propriateiy chosen. He referred in high term
to the progress of the Post Office Department
under the administration of Mr.. Wanamaker.
and OF President Harrison remarked: Before
the people made him President the Lord en-
dowed him with the full attributes of man
hood"
Gen. Whitfield came here from Chicago to be
present on this occasion. He leaves for his
new home again tonight.

LAREDO, TEX, Dec. 22-The fight yesterday
in which several Mexican soldiers were killed
accounts for the vast amount Of telegraphing
going on by military authorities on both sides

evidently looking for serious trouble. New
Laredo may be attacked at any moment and q
fight may be expected at Cerelvo, rich mining
town
Yesterday special train over the Mexican
National pulled into Lampasas, seventy miles
southwest of here, with eight car loads of Mex
lean cavalry, who were unloaded there. This
strengthening of the forces there indicates
that the government fears an attack from

Lostenas ROchs. the instructor of the National
Military Academy at Chap ultepec, although the
minister of foreign affairs and other officials of
the government yesterday asserted that the
general was here. II has now been ten DAYS
since Rocha left the Military Academy and ac-
cording To information received from a reliable
source he Is believed tracked TO Monterey. If
the common report is true that the general has
gone to join In the revolutionary movement
inaugurated on the Rio Grande border against
Mexico. or that he is identified in any way with
such a project. thousands of Mexicans will
hock to him, as he is the most popular officer
in the Mexican army and the best informed
man in Mexico on military tactics. The report
reached here last night that a large body of rev.
olutioEists are gathering about seventy miles
southwest Of Guerrero in the state of Nueva
