TIE HERALD is not generally in the
habit OF blowing its own horn, although
we are well aware Of that really fine saw
invented by a Missouri journalist and
which runs, "Whoso bloweth not his
own bazoo, the same shall not be
bowed" Notwithstanding our trsdi-
tionsl modesty, we cannot forbear cali.

spects, one of the most attractive news

was made by the HERALD's own artist,

the HERALD, and those who are indiffer-
ent but deairea a live newspaper, would do
well to open their eyes to the special ex-
cellence OF this paper, and acquaint their
friends with the result Of their observa-

early delivery-far surprising anything
in the previous history Of this paper or
OF any other paper ever delivered in Los
Angeles-we naturally look for vastly
extended circulation, and shall aim to
live up to our greatly expanded field OF
usefulness.

One gentleman whines that our gos-
pei work will come to q full stop in
China, and that our missionaries will
all be hustled back to us. Let them
come; we have lots of good work for
them to perform right here among our
selves. There are thousands here who
are wandering in darkness, on the down
ward path; men, women and children
who speak our own language and who
possess the various grades of intelli-
gence developed by civilization, and
whose redemption from the error of
their ways would entitle the evsngelists
to crown of glory irradiant in its i'm.
mortality.
Itaeems to me that these men make
shameful public display of innate pusil-
lammity when they endeavor to depict
national calamity as a consequence of
the suspension of commercial relations
between the two countries. This world
ls rather spacious concern, and there
are millions of other fields open for
American enterprise. All around us we
see stupendous mountains bursting with
undeveloped mineral wealth, and in
Vulnerable smiling valleys awaiting the
magical touch OF capital and labor to
bloom forth in profusion, and in their
gushing luxurisnce inaugurate an era OF
prosperity unparalleled in the history of
nations. My advice is. let our wander
ing brothers. come home and bring their
money along with them, we can take
ample care of both.
In conclusion permit me to remark
that it was source of some satisfaction
to lis folks of the work-a-day world, that
at leRst one of the reverends threw aside
the veil of peurile hypocrisy and mock
philanthrophy.a and spoke out like man
who was unbiased by prejudice and de-
sirous OF giving the people of his own
race and nationality a. fair and even

Special TO the HERALD
SAN BERNARDINo, June 7.-Hal's race
track at Riverside was crowded today
with about 1000 people to witness the
100-yard dash between Tom @. Morris,
the peat land sprinter, and Kid Pulley,
crack racer from Freeport, Ill. Pulley
has been training for some time on the
Riverside track, and defeated Morris at
Santa Ana about FIVE weeks ogo. Morris
was not in condition, but at once chal-
lenged Pulley to run another race, which
was accepted.
Morris, accompanied by his friends,
arrived in Riverside last evening, and
bet the orange city people to stand
still.
When the sprinters appeared on the
track they were greeted by their re-
spective friends. Both men were in the
pink OF condition and looked ready to
run the race of their lives.
While scoring bystsnder made a
slurring remark to Morris who imme-
diately resented it by striking him
severe blow in the face. He came to
the scratch and scored about four min
utes longer making 331a minutes alto
gether.
When the start wss made Morris se-
cured a lead of about three feet which
he increased till he breasted the tape
about ak feet in advance of his oppon-
ent. He was loudly cheered by large
circle Of friends who crowded around to
congratulate him.
AS the start was made by mutual con-
sent 1t was impossible to give the cor

AT special meeting OF the council
held yesterday afternoon the proposition
to purchase four hundred acres on the
Providencia rancho for $4,000 was de.
feated. Three voted against it and five
for it. As it required two-thirds vote
to pass money MEASURE, the PROPOSE
ton failed by one vote. The taxpayers
are to be congratulated on the miscar-
riage OF this scheme. 1t was prema-
ture. even II the purchase should be
considered Indispensable to the pro-
posed new water system. The old water
compsny's contract has several years to
run, aud that corporation has come to
the relief of the hill people, and they
are assured of as fine q service as the
rest OF the city enjoys. A vessel is on
the way here with pipe that will
enable the company to greatly increase
and improve the service on the hills.
They have put up q pump OF great
power TO raise the water from the lower
main reservoir to the high reservoirs on
the hills, and there is hardly any doubt
that if the vote on the water bonds were
to be submitted to the people today they
would be defeated. Judge Ross'a late
decision ia the Ventura Water com
pany's case makes it almost positively
certain that If the city should attempt
now to lessen the value of the water
company's franchise by paralleling their
service, we would be plunged into
costly and losing litigation with that

Longevity of the Sexes.

A comparative study of the longevity
of the sexes has been made in London,
from which it appears that percentage
OF women live longer than men. The
mortuary tables of the London Norn5nG
Post for the year 1892 show that out OF
1,151 persons dying in London during
that year over 50 years of age. sos were
males and 646 females. Had the average
for the previous five years been taken,
the disparity would have been greater.
Among the centenarians dying in that
city during 1892, five women exceeded
100 years and only one man. The ex-
planation is supposed to be not in any
sexual peculiarity, but rather in the diff
ferent circumstances which characteriZes
the lives OF elderly men and elderly
women. With many exceptions it is be-
lieved that women lead easier lives than
men, whose occupations are often more
laborious and attended with greater dan
gers. English statistics show that the in
crease of male births over that of female
births is at the rate of 80 or 40 per ]. 900.
But the accidents of life tell more hardly
against the males. Their mortality in
early life exceeds that of females. In
middle life the perils incidental to ma
ternity swell the rate of female mortality,
but as they advance in life their expecta-
ton of longevity is greater. The acu-
taries' tables show the following expecta-
tions of life:

be has been in bad luck or good luck,
there is no scientific way to determine
beforehand how long either kind of luck
is going to last, and how it will affect
him.
The conditions of the game include cer-
tain mathematical odds and percentages,
which every man knows or can readily
calculate. The tendency of human ma
ture is to increase wagers for a series of
losses and not to increase them in like
manner for series Of winnings. There is
also tendency to bet that continued
sequence will break on the next turn.
The man who runs the game does no
guessing at all. He accepts all the bets on
the board as they stand at the time of the
turn or the fall of the ball. The men
around the table furnish all the guessing
that is displayed. There is no question
that the game always wins in the long
run, and many men have come to believe
that it would win in the long run even
were there no mathematical percentage
in its favor. AT faro there are OCCASION
ally several deals in succession With
out single split and no bets on the turn.
In faro splits and calling the turn are the
only mathematical percentage in favor
of the bank. Yet it is claimed that even
on such deals and under such even cir
cumstances the bank wins III majority
of instances.
Any man who matches coins often will
see that this is possible if lie keeps an
account of winnings and losings. 1t was
an even thing with him when he began
to match, and it was an even thing every
time he matched. but the odds are many
to one that he is either winner or loser
through the decision of a number of
events. in each of which the chances
were even. This can be attributed both
to the laws of chance and to the mysteri-
Gus element called luck. There are some
men who are lucky at matching and
whose matching account year after year
shows a succession of gains. There
should be some way to explain this out
side of the laws of chance, for in match
ing few men put themselves in the posi-
ton of the dealer at a game, who hazards
no guesses, but takes what bets come.
1t is rare that any man who plays Is
free from these superstitions in one form
or another. The longer he CANDLES the
more likely he is to acquire some super
stition. The most firmly rooted OF them
all, and the one which is the most advo-
Gated, is that machine beats human ma
ture, and that the way to win is to pet
against all superstitions, which logically
would include betting against this par
ticular one if it be superstition and not a
fact
