HERE AND THERE.

From the San Diego DAILY bunlou Olt-
izens 1t is time to take action against
the great conspiracy formed by Los An
gsles against our city. Crazsd by their
jealousy Of our progress, the people up
there are doing all in their power to in
iure us. The "Bunion has irrefutable
proof of this conspiracy from Mr.. Pom
pey st. Clair. the accomplished gentle
man entrusted by Mr.. Pullman with the
superintendency OF the berths in one Of
the sleeping cars that run between Chi
cago and San Diego. Mr.. st. Clair says
that when his car left Chicago there
were two passengers for San Diego. and
twenty for Los Angeles, and that those
twenty finally persuaded the two to
stop in Los Angeles. Mr.. st. Clair 10
OF the opinion that the Los Angeles
chamber Of commerce employs these
twenty people to travel constantly be-
tween Chicago and California in order
to divert immigration from San Diego,
fact the "Bunion" will soon be able to
prove.
" see your paper had an account of
how DR.. Will Lindley recently bravely
stopped o runaway team on Spring
street, as the reporter put it by clutch
ing the horses bride and hanging on
like grim death,'" said a friend rec
Gently.
"Yes." replied. "He showed him
self brave man.
Every true," was the reply, "but did
you hear of any of the Lindley family
clutching anything that they did not
hang on TO like death ?"

There is q Mr.. Partington in this city
who astounded business man recently
by telling him that in regard to GER
tain enterprise a friend was making a
"Herculsneum" effort.

The women of Pomona are forming q
league to demand the increased purity
of the press. This will be rather hard
on Br'er Tinsley of the erratic Progress
of that city. He is given to unconscion-
stories regarding big pumpkins, snake
frogs, and the profits to be derived from
the culture of alfalfa. 1t ia to be hoped
that Tinsley will survive the press
purity puhngs.
Plagiarism, like murder, will always
out. Edmundson of the Banning Her
aid was at press club symposium and
noticed Mum of the San Jacinto Regis
ter evidently gazing at big jack pot.
"a watched jack pot never boils,
Num-" said Banning,
That's true, but some Of these play
ers soon will," replied Mum, and on
going into the reading room and pick
ing up Town Topics that Edmundson
had just laid down read the little con-
versation therein.
*x*
By the way Edmundson has had to
postpone buying those new rollers for
another month.
A press club aphorism. A workman
is known by his chips (red, white or
blue.)
There are whole lot of visiting San
Francisco newspapermen here, Zieginfus
several others. One 81 them was with a
crowd OF news gathersrs on Saturday,
talking shop in the club reading rooms,
and suddenly exclaimed, "Ive got q
business matter to attend to at once. l
must send business letter to a man at
the Hollenbeck." And he sat down,
a few lines" rang up q messenger and
sent off his business letter.
Half an hour passed and the meHnen-
ger came back, and with the tact and
good judgment typical of his class,
rushed up to the sender of the note and
blurted out before the whole crowd,
much to the amusement of Douglas
White, Say, she went to New Mexico
yesterday"
This is an age of cures. There are
cures for all ills and all classes, but
about the most comfortable restorative
device 1 have heard of is one practiced
by Gen. M. H. Sherman, the president
of the Electric Railway company. The
general has quite little business to at
tend to. There is the electric and cable
railways, the electric railway OF Phoenix,
A. T., bank at Phoenix, one here, and
one in San Francisco, several ranches, a
number of real estate holdings in cities
and few other things, 30 it might be
supposed that he would occasionally
get tired.
But he don't, for there is where his
cure comes in.
When he feels that he has been work
ing too hard, he goes to bed and stays
there until his nerves are steady again
and his brain working with ite natural
clearness and quickness.
Nothing but the house burning up
would get him out OF bed under such
circumstances, until he gets ready, and
| believe il his hotel did get on FIRE
while he was taking his rest cure he
would call the porters and have he'd
and himself carried down rather than
break in on his rule.
If any one doubts the efficacy of this
system just let them take look at
Sherman and mark its effect on him.
