AN ORANGE SHARP.


He Swindles q Number of Santa Ana
People.
One Joseph Lesser, who for sometime
past has been buying oranges in Santa
Ana in small way, and picking them
and selling them for what he could
make out of them to the larger dealers,
skipped out of that place on the 4:2O
train Friday afternoon, leaving behind
him numerous employees and orange
growers and email board and lodging
bill unpaid. His debts, as far as can be
learned, amount to between three and
four hundred dollars, while his available
asset is an old, empty valise, left in his
room at Mrs. Melvin's, on Main street.
The worst feature of the case is that
he left numerous hard-working orange
pickers unpaid. Two young women Of
Santa Ana who had been packing for
him lose about IS each. o. P. Jones, of
Main street, of that town, appears to be
the heaviest loser, as he has lost about
200 boxes of oranges. Rack FELTON,, R.
Q. Smith and several other orange
growers are also losers to some extent.
Mr.. Dillingham;, by whom he was for
merly employed, had told several par
ties not to trust him too far, and that
he had no means of his own. 1t is ru-
mored that he represented himself as
an agent for one of our commission mer-
chants. He was last heard from in this
city, but be left on the 10 40 train for
Sacramento Friday night.

MADE HIS OWN COFFIN.
DEATH OF THE HERMIT OF DAL-
TON CANON.
A One-Tims Wealthy Englishman Dies
Pauper and q Recluse-His
Varied Career.

In miserable shanty near the mouth
OF Dalton canon, in the northwest part
of Pomona valley, Joseph Underwood
was found dead on Friday morning by a
party of hunters. He had probably
been dead about twelve hours, having
died of heart disease, with which he had
been afflicted for several years.
Underwood's life was one of strange
vicissitude. He was born of wealthy
parents in England in 1920, and studied
for time at Cambridge university. He
came to America in 1S43 with capital
and started in the boot manufacturing
business in Buffalo, and for several
years he prospered. He enjoyed the
friendship of such men there as Presi-
dent Millard Fillmore and Dean Rich
mond, and was frequently a guest at the
palatial home of Lewis Allen, the uncle
of Grover Cleveland.
Underwood had an unfortunate love
affair in Buffalo about 1S49 that changed
his disposition and wrecked his bust.
ness and reputation in that city. He
would never speak of this to any one.
He went to Chicago and made money
there in buying lots in that little city.
He then got the gold fever and came
overland to California, suffering untold
agony from hunger and thirst for weeks
on the way. He was i'll for two years as
the result of his experience in crossing
the plains.
Underwood made fortune of 5000
in the mines in four years, but lost all
in three months experience in placer
mining. Then he'removed to San Fran
cisco and bought real estate, and for
six or seven years he made thousands of
dollars. In 1871 he had a fortune OF
over sl50,000 and went on a trip to
England and through Europe.
While returning to America he fell in
love with a young widow, and they
were married Immediately upon arriv.
ing in New York. The wedding fee to
the minister was $500. In four months
time Underwood and his bride had
trouble, and he gave her $40 900 to leave
him. He returned to San Francisco,
and in an investment in Nevada mines
he lost all the money he had left.
For two or three years he was the
subject OF charity among his English
friends. Subsequently he made about
$4,000 more in Los Angeles real estate,
but lost it all in Tombstone mining
operations.
For the last ten years Underwood has
lived the life of hermit. He became a
sour, bitter old man. He built hut in
the foothills OF the mountains in this
vicinity, and lived from the sale OF the
irewood he could cut. and from hunting
and growing vegetables. He wore the
poorest of clothes, and avoided all
strangers.
Two years ago he made bis coffin from
some old boards he took from fences,
and kept it under his bed so as to be
ready when he died. His sole book was
a Greek testament, and that he read
daily and with pleasure. He has some
well-to do relatives in Sacramento
county, but no one here knows who
they are.

beer would fill his mouth much more to
his satisfaction than the ancient gag of
policemen's clubs and soldiers bayonets.
The other two opposing elements are
the socialists and pietists. The pietists
believe in solving the problem by re-
peating prayers. The experience of
1000 years is unfavorable to their the
ory. While prayers may be of value in
their own proper sphere, yet as q sub
stitute for food for hungry stomach
they are very unsatisfying, and as
substitute for clothing they are not onlv
inappropriate but illegal. The social.
lists believe in more equal distribution
of material wealth, but exnerienca
proves the insufficiency OF their theory.
Increase of wealth in itself will not
make men better. To thousands n
means simply more beer and bestialitv.
while to other thousands it means more
fuss. feathers and folly, but no relief
from care. One class of these caform.
ers, the pietists, ignores the material
side OF life; the other class ignores the
spiritual,
The true solution is only found in the
combination of all the elemental. in
true education, not only OF the ign GRANT
poor but of the ignorant rich. and es-
pecially the middle classes. The ine-
qualities of wealth and opportunity
must be removed to a certain degree.
but this alone is insufficient without
placing before the world different ideals
and more rational views of life. This
may appear an impossible and hopeless
task, but it is neither. II it be so. the
future of humanity is hopeless and its
progress in this existence impossible. Ii
it is impossible to improve the individ-
ual, it is impossible to improve the race.
and vice versa. The pietist and the
Anarchist believe in improving the in.
dividual without regard to the race
the socialist believes in improving the
race without regard to the individual !;
social science believes in the harmoni-
GUS adjustmenttf both. Let us give
social science a chance. Let us have
practice to go along with theory.
