When I was in Cornwall, 26 or 81 years
ago, this was ain expression in general use
then, and had mover heard it before any
where else. Now ono hears it dropping
from every ones lips and sees it in all our
diurnal literature. Only the other day, at
Hereford, at the Mitcr hotel there, heard a
clerical gentleman use it, and 1 said,
Where did You get that expressions' and
he said, 1T is an Americanism.
If it is an Americanism, 1t is more like
ly that it was there adopted from Cornwall
than that the Cornish got it from America.
Indeed it is not the only Cornishism
have found incorporated with the Amer
lean language The. expression forth and
back for backward and forward" is
also one, and l dare say there are many
others. These, taken with some promi
nent traits in the American character, fa-
vor the idea that large proportion of our
carly American colonists came from the
great southwestern promontory of .Eng-
land.--Notes ana Queries.

ABOUT Logan and Robinson.
EDITORS HERALD "A letter in the
HERALD OF the 25th, from Yuma. signed
@. ]. j., contains SO many misstate-
ments that I cannot le. them pass un-
challenged. readily recognize the
writer as none other than D. X. Allen,
for whom @. ]. ]. pretends to speak.
The question as to whether Robinson
and Logan are dead does not chang
fire." SO general is now the belief in
Arizona and Sonora that they were
killed by the Ceris Indians on Tiburon
island. The Sonora newspapers have
not CONTINUED to assert" that both
men are alive and we'll. get all of said
newspapers myself and have q corre-
spondent at Quay mas and another at
Hermosillo. and they have made no
such statements.
Whatever may be the opinions OF the
"promInent citizens" referred to. they
count very little against the documenta-
ry evidence in my possession. This ie
OF such nature, being correspondence
with the state department, that do not
feel at liberty to divulge it.
d. K. Allen resorted to a trick to get
Morgan O'Brien's story of the killing OF
Robinson and Logan. He had no ac-
qusintance with O'Brien. When the
latter arrived here from Guaymas Allen
introduced himself and asksd for his
story. To this O'Brien positively re-
fused, as he had been warned against
Allen. O'Brien and friend then sat
down under porch, and Allen soon
after secreted himself inside the build
ing near an open window, whore he
heard some of the convereation between
the two men. This Allen wrote out in
garbled form and sent it to the San
Francisco Chronicle. This explains the
statement by G. ]. J. that the stories
are 60 varied in FORM"
Logan's given name was James. and
not John, and he was from Louisiana,
instead OF Alabama, as stated by @. j.
j., which shows sbout how much he
knows of what he writes. | have let
ters from Logan's brother and the dis
trict attorney OF his county. and these
letters are also private. 1 have also in
my possession Robinson's journal, kept
up until the day before he dsi. A
great deal Of the latter do not deem it
wise to publish at the present time.
The trouble is with Allen and @. J. j.,
his double, that neither Robinson,
Clark or o. Brien chose to honor him
with their confidence and chose rather
to come to me, who had stood by them
in time OF need.
My last letter from the state depart.
mont was July 7th, and shows cloaily
that tho American government is kept
thoroughly posted by the consul at
Guaymas and our minister at the City
of Mexico. Respectfully,

A Move to Bar Out Heavy Teams From

II. r. Hanna. secretary OF the Spring
Street improvement company, sends the
following Communication to the city
council:
As secretary OF the Spring Street I'm
proyement association | am directed to
bring before your honorable body the
undeHirability OF allowing heavily loaded
trucks, brick and gravel wagons with
narrow tires. to use Spring street as q
general thoroughfsre. On snmmer days
when the pavement ia slightly softened
by the heat they leave deep indenta-
tions, almost cutting through the as
phslt, and will in very short time. if
allowed to use this street, ruin the pave
ment 30 that it will be necessary to re-
pave the whole OF It,. ln other larger
cities trucking of all kinds is prohibited
on residence streets, boulevards and
such other streets where pavements are
not auitable for that purpose, and as
there is no real necessity for these trucks
and wagons to cucumber this street.
oftentimes breaking down and delaying
the usual run of business for hours, we
respectfully recommend that you take
action looking to the prevention OF all
unnecessary trucking on Spring street.
Another matter which seems to be
necessary for the well-being and clean
linese of our city, is the flushing OF
Spring street, between Temple and
Fourth. So many horses stand on this
street that when it is wet, and the sun
shines on it, the odor is very offensive.
The street ohould be washed off thor
oughly every other day at least, between
the hours of and 5 in the morning.
This could be done at o small expense
and would greatly benefit the whole
city.

vention gives statement made by
Blanton Duncan that there were A
Socialists in the convention who were
members OF secret oath-bound organi-
cation and who had formed a ring to

a Socialist, have been known as one for
seven or eight years in this city, and
am acquainted with scores of our very
best and sblest citizens who are So

my Socialist comrades, l wish to say
that mono Of us ever heard Of ret
oath bound order of Socialists, and we
believe the charges absolutely malicious
and false and were premeditstedly made
to prejudice people against us who do
not understand the true meaning OF
socialism.
Inaamuch as Blanton Duncan has
given great publicity to his injurious
charges, call upon him to give ad-
equate proof or publicly acknowledge
that he has made false statements.

The search for Truth.

I sought for Truth. fair, white-robed Truth,
Ana led by Hopes warm helpful hand,
We Travelled in the earnest quest
Both far and wide Ger our lov'd land.
We sought in legislative halls;
'In quest OF Truth? We know her not,
Or If or her we ever heard,
She Ions since this has been forgot"
Within ths church's sacred walls
Pure Truth, said, must surely dwell;
fieeting sigh is all we heard,
Quick lost In the grand organs swell.
Within the sch ools. amidst the young,
We hoped to find the maiden fair
And caught CLEAN of her while rooe
AS she passed down The outer stair.
And in the busy marts of trade
Her presence was almost unknown
For though we tarrled many days,
Her lovely face was never shown.
We heard the thunder OF the press,
And eagerly we sought her there,
Only tosee a shadowy form,
Which, graspcd for, vanished into air.
In palace homes we looked for her.
Mid regal splendor lavish spread,
But Gold, that mighty god, there ruled,
At whose approach pure Truth had fed.
By cottage hearths we fingered long,
Hoping to hear her magic voice;
But capital, with iron hand,
Had made distrust the inmates choice.
I looked at Hope with questioning eyes;
., what Will be our fair lands doom.
With Truth no longer in our halls,
And banished from the heart and home?
passing shadow crossed her brow,
Succeeded by gleam so bright
That made the glowing sun turn pale,
And day seem merging into night
Truth is divine." she joyous cried,
"And God win ever lead her on;
As from the dark, tempestuous night
Is barn the beauty beaming morn:
60 from the storms that rack our land,
And with great fears all hearts appsll,
There shall come forth n happy time.
When Truth shall conquer over ALL"

auspices the play is to be given. were OF

would be advisable to the proper staging

special scenery ia being constructed and
the great battle scene in act third will
be staged in splendid style.
Los Angeles theater goers have not

Sir William Hamilton. Prof. John Will
son christopher North and Prof James
ID. Forbes, who were cordial and hos
pital to him as an American. Dur
ing the summer vacation of 1850 he dis
covered while in London the Young
Mems Christian association. 1t was
small but suggestive. Mr.. Van Derlip
was the European correspondent of
the Waterman and Reflector, Baptist
weekly published in Boston, which,
like the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. still lives. He believed societies
with similar aims would be still more
effective in the United States, and he
wrote a descriptive letter which was
published October 30, 1851, and urged
! the organization of such associations.
His object was accomplished by the or
ganization of an association in Boston,
the city in which his letter was pub
lished. The managing editor of the
paper was Mr.. ID. 5. Ford, now the pro-
prietor of the Youths Companion. Mr..
Ford led in the work of organizing. A
few weeks later the New York asso-
citation was founded, Mr.. Van Derlip
having returned to the United States,
and by request he addressed the meet
ing for organization, detailing the
London methods. History has vindi-
Gated his foresight, for associations
have multiplied and become mOreNef-
ficient in the United States than in any

that of a clergyman. a religious jOurna-
list and an official in benevolent work
and societies. Briefly sketched, its
chronology and leading events are as
follows: He was born in Argyle,
Washington county, n. Y. His
maternal grandfather was one of the
original settlers of Argyle and pastor
over fifty years. His paternal ancestors
emigrated from Holland to New York
in 1925. When he was five years old
his parents removed to New York city
and he graduated from the University
of the City of New York in 1851, hav-
ing previously travelled and studied in
Great Britain. He drifted into
journalism and correspondent with the
New York Evening Post, as well as
with the Waterman and Reflector of
Boston. He published a book of
travels entitled Visits TO Homes of
English Worthless" For twelve years he
represented the American Baptist
Publication society in New York,
where his literary taste, skill as a
writer and ability as preacher were
serviceable.

age so renowned that in five months
last summer nearly twenty thousand
visitors, it is said. registered there.
1t is the quality of these visitors that
attracts attention, for they number
among them such important person
ages as the Rothschilds, of Vienna, the
duke and duchess Paul of Mecklen-
burg, the duke d'Alencon, the infanta
Maria Therese of Portugal, the Persian
shah's daughter. and bishops, patri-
archs and papal nuncios.
The things that such people do every
body else wants to do, and so the
Kneippe cure is the fashion.
Moreover some value has been found
in it. The German physicians who be-
gan by pooling have ended by certify
ing that the humble able is a natural
physician, and his system worth the at
tention of the scientifically trained doc
tor, and every body in the German coun-
tries to-day has Kneippiste literature
in the hand.
AS to FRI Kneippe himself, he seems
to bear modestly his hOnors. which have
recently eliminated in his being mand-
ed to Rome to treat the pope. Credit is
evidently due him for disinterested
effort to bring luxury-enfeebled people
back to nature, and the simple and reg
ular life of the orders appear to have
furnished him the model.
