PRussrs DEATH.
He Drank Too Much and Fell Over
Bluff.

He Drank Too Much and Fell Over a
Bluff.
An inquest was held over the remains
of G. Prussi, which were found on Fri
day evening at Santa Monica on the
beach. by M. D. @. Putnam at O'Clock,
who Immediately told City Marshal M.
K. Barretto, who took charge of the
body, finding memoranda book with
two or three letters and certificate of
declaration of intention inclosed in it
and few trinkets such as tobacco,
cigarette paper, etc.
The coroner arrived at Santa Monica
yesterday morning, and after summon
ing jury who viewed the remains and
the spot where the body was found
went to the city hall where the inquest
was held. The following witnesses tes-
tifying: S. E. Vignolo, G. Scotto, M. K.
Barretto, M. d. q. Putnam, Henry Wit
tam, Harry Majoris, DIR. R. W. Rogers,
who made the post-mortem examination.
A brief digest of the evidence is as
follows:
The deceased's name was Charlie
Prussie, aged about 3S was last seen on
Thursday evening, and had been en-
ployed by G. Scotto prospecting and
working on a coal mine eight or nine
miles up the beach. On Monday last
Scotto went to the mine and took two
gallons of wine with him. On Tuesday
deceased went to the old Santa Monica
cafion to get some blasting powder, and
drank considerable. In the evening he
came to Santa Monica and got So. 80 from
Scotto and stated he was going back to
the mine, but was under the influence
of liquor. On Thursday morning he
came back and had several drinks, and
Scotto, seeing him, gave him another
dollar, when he left, which was the last
seen OF him until his body was found,
which, from it's condition, had evidently
lain for thirty-six or forty-eight hours
before discovery. Two of the letters
found in his pockets were in Itasian, one
from friend in DeDnison, Tex, directed
to Prussi 583 Third street, San Bernar-
dino; the other from his sister, who
lives in Charsottis, Italy, in which she
spoke about the wedding of his sister
and about some trouble he had previ-
ously with their father.
The jury brought in verdict that de-
ceased came to his death by acciden.
tally falling from the bluff, breaking his
neck.
The general impression here is that
while intoxicated the man wandered
along the bluff and fell over, coming to
his death in consequence.

HOW TO RENOvATE GENTLE
MEMS CLOTHING.

1 will give you a wrinkle before you
discard old clothes as past all hope OF
wear. Look up the best of them and
put them on one side. Separate the
sheep from the goats, and If they be
not torn or worn white at seams, they
may yet do you good service at trihing
cost and little trouble, The mo dus
operandi is to enlist into your service
for a short perlod-until You know
how he suits you-a lad of broad shoul-
ders and well-developed biceps. You
need not go beyond the shoe-black
brigade in search of a recruit. Provide
him with the following tools: a cane or
timber switch, hard brush, and
clean kitchen table. Let him thorough
ly dust and brush your clothes once,
then, to make sure certain, make him
repeat the process, until you are satis-
fed no grit remains behind. This
must be done with a will" and the
switch well laid on, even as prison
wsrders fog garroters, not as If whisking
flies off the back OF Venus. You may
now supply him with the following
chemicals and the means of using them:
liquid ammonia, spirits of turpentine,
and benzoline. With a piece Of cloth
list or flannel dipped in ammonia, every
speck or spot of grease must first be
carefully removed by dint of hard rub
bing. Then a pad is made of clean
fannel-same color as the cloth to be
operated upon filled with cloth shreds
or cottonwood to the size of an ordin-
ary white turnip. lake equal parts of
benzoline and turpentine in a soup
plate, and with the pad half saturated,
rub from collar down one way all the
| ga ment over.
Ihis work is no chlld's play. The
mixture must be freely used; every
part of the cloth must be hard rubbed,
| and elbow grease must not be spared.
| When your clothes are thoroughly done
| they must be hung up in a draught or
open air, and week will elapse before
| they lose their smell. Then look them
over, and any worth keeping must be
sent to your jobbing tailor for buttons,
repairs, etc. and last, but not least, a
thorough damping and hot-presslng
with the iron.
/ am dead against sending soiled
coats, etc, to scourers. 1 have often
seen It tried, but never with success.
I grant they send them back beautiful
to behold, but they are not worth the
| cost Scourers have q knack OF rub
bing up the pile and getting peach
like bloom upon it. This is feeting
and transitory, and after one shower
of rain or dust, the garment is done for
beyond redemption.
n. B. B.-Always have liquid ammonia in
your possession to remove stains on
your coat front caused by trickling
from mustache or beard.
Before putting away your clothes
after summer or winter for the next
SIX months, have them well busted and
sponged with benzoline. This will
effectually stay the ravages of moth.
1 have tried pepper, salt, mustard, and
all the round of the cruet, without
success; and L verify believe that
Worcester sauce and pickles added
would be powerless against their
| fret.
