known as the artesian bet of the coun-
ty, in which heavy flows of water can
be obtained by sinking from 80 to 100
feet. This water is excellent for do
mestic use and furnishes good supply
for irrigation when required.
Whatever may he said of the climatic
advantages of the most favored locali-
ties of Southern California may with
propriety be applied to Orange county.
Here the tenderest flowers bloom the

A Sketch OF the Democratic County
Committee's Chairman.

Committee's Chatrnans
@. F. A. Laet is one of the young bus
mess men of Los Angeles. By means Of
thrift, enterprise and progressive ideae,
he has come TO the front, so that today
he ranks as the leading wholesale liquor
dealer Of Southern California. A fair
estimate of the esteem in which he is
held may be taken from the fact that his
political friends called him to the chair
manship of the Democratic county CEN
trail committee, which position he holds
at the present time. Mr.. Last has the
faculty of making friends and keeping
them. His store, al l3l North Main
street, is stocked with the best OF wines
and liquors, and his host of friends
swear by him.
There is no young man in Los Angeles
whose future appears brighter than that

A DELICATE INSPECTOR.

Anthony Comstock has n rival. A
new Appraiser OF Customs. Mr.. Hart
has stopped at the door Of Uncle Sans
Custom House n copy of Raphaels IA
nous picture OF Lucretia and Tarquin
and refused II admission to the United
States on the ground OF Its indecency.
The etching is an old one. and Is said
to be of great value.
Fortunately Collector Kllbreth has
more liberal views. He has been on all
sides in politics. and has sat on the
bench of n Police Court, experiences
calculated to enlarge mans Ideas. He
therefore overruled Hart, and decided
that, AZ the original has been on exhi-
bition in Berlin for n number OF years.
New York can stand u copy.
Mr.. Hart ought to leave the Custom
House, where too fine ideas of decency
are out OF place, and join the ComstociS
Society. 1t Is thought now that Mr..
Comstock will follow the picture that
shocked Inspector Hart and teach
Raphael that New York wants none OF
his questionable art.

We two brooklyn girls and wish to reply TO
the letter written by " May D." IN regard to fresh
drug clerks. We differ from May H." In that we
think drug clerks are a rule. far from being
fresh. No doubt " May D." Is right as far as her
experience goes. In our opinion. she has been

the packages for the store and occasionally waits

SION that she never will be fortunate enough to
form the acquaintance OF \ real drug clerk. In
conclusion. we will say that two drug clerks have
been calling on us for the past three years. during
which time we have never had occasion to even
think them fresh or inferior In their actions to
other gentlemen Hoping to be. In the course OF a

THE VETOED BILL.

In vetoing the bill giving the Mayor OF
New York power OF removing all the
heads of city departments and replacing
them with his own appolntees Gov.
Flower has greatly dissatisfied many OF
those who are engaged in the EFFORT to
make a change in our municipal gov
ernment next November. Nevertheless
his refusal to allow the bill to become a
law has probably increased the chances,
as It certainly has added to the induce
ments. of an opposition victory In the
State and Legislature this year without
seriously impuiring the prospects OF
an anti-Tammany result in the city.
The law would have made an anti
Tammany victory complete by sweeping
every Tammany city official out Of exist
ence. That was the reason OF the pas
sage of the bill. But the Republicans
have signifed what policy they Will
pursue next year n they win. and should
they gain the Mayor, the Governor and
the Legislature. II is well known the
bill now vetoed would be repassed the
first or second week OF the next legisla-
tive session.
The Governor seeks n plausible justi-
fication for his veto in the reports OF the
Fassett Investigating Committee OF 1890
and 1891 and the Tiden Municipal Com
mission OF 1875. In both those documents
objections were made to the Investment
OF the Mayor with the powers given In
the vetoed bill. the Tilden report declar-
ing that II would be "suicidal'' to put
into the hands of single man the con
troll of the large city appropriations.
now over forty million dollars. "to keep
himself in place" But the advocates Of
the vetoed bill have reached n different
conclusion from experience and believe.
Tammany from Its intrenchcd power. that
II Is better to give the Mayor the fun
benefit OF friendly government and to
enable each Mayor to select his own sub
ordirates and thus concentrate and CON
firm his full responsibility for good gov
ernment.
However. the law is killed for this year.
and there Is a general belief that the
veto is more the work OF the Governors
advisers than his own voluntary act.
Power-of-Removal bill was the mea sure
the most earnestly pressed and the most
anxiously hoped for by all the city gov
eminent reformers. and the most dreaded
and the most vigorously opposed of all
the reform bills by the Tammany poll
tcians. 1t IL therefore clearly seen on
which side the veto Is cast.

Prime Num bers.

To the Editor:
You published n problem signed "P. o. D."
In last Saturdays issue. viz. " What number,
when divided by any number up to nine will
leave a remainder one ieas than the dvisor?" The
writer evidently did not know the law OF such
problems, for m inhrite number Of numbers will
satisfy the above conditions. An ever-ircreasng
arithmetlcal progression whose frat term Is 25l9.
and whose common difference is z, $40 will satisfy
the conditions. The full law Is as follows: Sub
tract one from the least common multiple OF any
number OF numbers OF the natural series tall be-
ing included To the highest number used). This
number, when divided by any term Of the series.
will leave remainder one less than the divisor.
Example: The least common multiple OF the
ries up to 10 is 232 792 500 This diminished by l.
when divided by any number in the series, will
leave a remainder one less than the divisor.
There ia remarkable fact connected with
this law. Euler, the celebrated German nathe-
matican, has had the honor for the discovery Of
the largest prime number known. I can give any
one simple law whereby an Infinitely larger
prime number can he found Euler is the great
Known but the science OF mathematics has ad-
vanced since his time. 3" We honor overmuch the
