NEED PROPER FOOD.

What the Trouble Is With Mr..
Meeks.
The Meeks family, who gained con-
siderable notoriety in Pasadena and
Santa Barbara by being bounced out of
town as general nuisance, says the
Riverside Enterprise, bobbed up serene
ly before Judge Otis in the superior
court at San Bernardino yesterday.
Robert Meeks was examined as to his
sanity. For some time past he has acted
strangely, and for the last few days was
continually washing his hands and re-
fused to drink any water, saying that it
was muddy. Before the court DR.. 6. G.
Kyle and DR.. D. B. Rutherford of this
city said if the prisoner had proper
food for few days they thought he
would regain his mind. On the above
ne was acquitted. During the time
Meeks was on the stand his wife
winked and blinked at him all the
time and kept him posted on what he
was to say. After the examination the
pair said they were delighted with San
Bernardino, and intimated that they
could easily be induced to remain.
When the family first arrived in this
city, some months ago, they imme-
diately moved into an unoccupied house
on East Tenth street without permis-
sion. They remained until Obliged to
vacate the premises by the owner. The
two little boys are decidedly tough and
good subjects for the Whittier reform
school. Their neighbors at present
would doubtless contribute literally in
getting them out of town, as numberless
chickens and other lightweight articles
have been missed of late.

ADVERTISING FOR A HUSBAND.

Young Lady States that Matrimony IL
Her Object.
Advertising for husbands and wives is
getting to be quite common in this
nineteenth century. 1t is a fad that has
not been in vogue for many years,
Yesterday morning some of the readers
OF the HERALD must have noticed the
following little advertisement:
DERSONAL-AY YOUNG LADY OF 10 WISHES
il to make the acquaintance OF nice young
man from 20 to 80 years of age with some
means; q brunette, no blonde need apply Ap-
ply at this office. N
The above is little indefinite to be
sure, but one Of the HERALD reporters
filed the above requirements to dot,
so he called upon the young lady alter
fixing himself up regardless Of expense,
so as to present dashing appearance.
In the note left at the HERALD the
name of the young lady and her resi-
dence were given. Yesterday afternoon
the HERALD man called at the place
designated, which ia located in fash
ionable part of the city. The reporter
was ushered into the drawing room, and q
few minutes later the rustic of skirts
could be heard in the hallway, and q
young lady entered the room with some
little trepidation. She was rather
pretty demi-blonde.
Yes, I am the young lady who put

A BIG ROUND DOLLAR.
A DAMAGE SUIT WHICH THE CITY
LOST.
But 1t Will Not Cost the City More Than
Dollar-The Flood Caused the
Claim-The Outcome.

The damage suit of F. J. Coensan
against the city Of Los Angeles came to
a rather inglorious termination yester-
day afternoon. The case has been on
trial before Judge Clark in department
two of the superior court. Coensan
claimed $4,000 damages, basing his claim
on the fact that the city had built ap-
proaches to the Pasadena avenue bridge
which backed up the waters of the Ar
royo Seco, and caused them to overflow
on his land, washing away a portion of
his lots and damaging his buildings,
consisting Of q house of four rooms and
small barn.. The neighbors in the
vicinity have taken great interest in
the proceedings, and were there en-
masse to testify on one side-or the other.
Among the interesting features of the
case was the point raised that the storm
causing the damage complained of was
the memorable food of Christmas eve,
1889, which was of such q severe char
acter as to be accounted as an act of
Providence, and therefore causing dam
age which an ordinarily prudent man
would not anticipate or guard against.
Another of the points on which the case
was tried was the theory developed by
the defense that the damage to the prop
erty would have been much greater had
the approaches to the bridge not been
constructed.
( The defense in the case has been
almost entirely one of theory, as the
damage was all done at night time,
and the course of the stream in it's
peculiar turnings could not be readily
seen. The damage to the house, which
the plaintiff admitted ON the stand cost
$3.50, was comparatively slight, and as
he testified later in his examination that
the house burned down within month
or two after the food, and he received
over $1400 insurance, counsel held that
he had been amply reimbursed 5y the
insurance company, without q further
contribution from the city.
The plaintiff was represented by s.
g. Millard, and the city by Assistant
City Attorney Dunn. The case went to
the jury at 8 o'clock and returned YER
dict at 80, finding 81 damage for the
plaintiff, which puts the costs on the
plaintiff, the jury fees alone amounting
to $12O. rs :
Quite number Of cases Of similar
nature were depending on the above
trial, and it is hardly probable that they
will be pushed in view of the verdict.
Assistant City Attorney Dunn deserves
infinite credit for the mastery manner
in which he conducted the defense.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
NOTICE ISSUED BY THE LOCAL
BOARD OF MANAGERS.
The Local Committee Furnish tho Fol-
lowing Worlds Fair Notes ON How
to Select Fruit for Exhibition.

The fruit should be properly selected /;
neither too unripe to show its distinc-
tive features, nor so ripe as to be read
lily bruised in transportation.
The rule should be to take the fruit
as unripe as is CONSTANT with a proper
exhibition of the size, surface, texture
and color.
The greatest care should be taken
that in gathering and handling (the lat
ter restricted as much as possible) not
the least bruise is inflicted.
It is best not to touch the fruit with
the hand at all, but to handle it in a
piece Of tissue paper, such as is used in
wrapping fruit.
This can be done by holding the paper
close under the chosen specimen and
cutting the steam with pair of shears,
avoiding any jar or pressure.
Immediately before placing it in the
.praservative fluid it should be thor
oughly rinsed in q jet of clean water, &C
as to remove all dust and fungus germs
as much as possible.
For information relative to making
the preservative fluid write to your local
organization or to Southern California
Worlds Fair association, chamber OF
commerce rooms, Los Angeles, California.
Ventura county, although she began
the worlds fair work on the 11th of
May, reports through her manager, F.

for exhibiting beans, several parties
stating they will show from three to
twelve varieties; seven applications for
space for wheat; ten for barley; two for
oats six for corn: five for walnuts; two
for honey; one for wool; two for citrus
fruits; four for grapes and raisins, and
twelve for deciduous fruits.
The oil and asphaltum regions have
not been heard from yet, hut it is Ger.
tain that considerable space will be re-
quired for these products.

A DISPATCH reporter was in Mr.. Dillon's
Office when Charles Bucknen called and
asked for work. He said he had been en-
ployed as engineer at the Pittsburg water
works, and knew well how to handle ma
chinery and dynamos. He was told by
Messrs Dillon and Scott that the mill was
now full, and that the company did
not have any further use fore ex-
ira men. The superintendent told the
man that if he applied for work
at the Twenty-ninth street mills by the end
of next week he would very likely be en-
ployed. During this interview there were
in the outside Office six colored men who
had just arrived from Tennessee. They
said they were experienced millworkers
and had come to get jobs promised them.
An effort will be made to run the new
plate mill at the Twenty-ninth street works
toward the end of this week.
On Friday next at Union Hall, Liberty
and Thirty-second streets, the men will
hold public meeting, at which the views
of every prominent striker will be heard.
