OUR MONEYEO ARISTOCRACY.

Its Lavish Extravaganza Opens the Eyes of
Visiting Titled Foreigners.
Without making much fuss about it
a large number of foreigners Of rank
and title are visiting American friends
at their summer residences and other
wise looking round" at this country
and its institutions. Passing by some
of these strangers criticisms on the
present state of affairs, it is amusing to
note the surprise the mode of living
here creates in intelligent minds accus-
toned to much simpler forms of wealth
at home
Count Nympsche a German friend
Of Prince Hatzfeldt, who married the
daughter of G. P. Huntington, expresses
the liveliest astonishment at such an es-
tablishment as the Huntingtons occupy
for other than royalty. He says there
is no luxury Or magnificence to compare
with that seen in private houses in
America anywhere from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and his opinion is echoed by
foreigners of other nationality as well
as by our so called English cousins.
A we'll known lady, who has made
Berlin her home for many years, re-
turned to her native land last spring to
find such an Aladdinlike change that
she says it has almost made her silly.
"No one in Germany, at least, dreams
of the extent Of this moneyed aristoc-
racy." She paused. Il hate that phrase
and withdraw it! But it surprises me
to see luxury where left mere comfort
only 20 years ago The emperor is not
housed half SO we'll as some of my ac-
quaintances in their summer places "
The frugal German appears to be most
touched by American progress in the
weird art Of living up to big income.

A UNIQUE DISPLAY.

The Public Views ths interesting Fea-
tures of Chino.
Easton, Eldridgs & Company have
made q remarkable display in the win
dowa of Mullen & Bluett, ON Spring and
First. 1t is calculated to convey some
slight idea of the interesting features Of
beet-eugar manufacture at Chino.
Some beautifully colored photos are
encssed in frames. They show portions
Of tie interior Of the great sugar factory
and views of sections OF the ponderous
machinery.
Relow the pictures are heaps Of the
sugar glistening in the light and as
pearly white as enow. In front of these,
tall walls contain the syrups in different
stages of evaporation.
The original juice, as shown, is dark,
molsssea.like liquid. In the next stage,
the syrup, mixed with lime, is not un.
like strained honey.
The display is artistioally arranged
and last night, while thousands of peo-
pie passed along Spring street. the win
dow was the focus of all eyes.

Earth quake Prophecies,


EDITORS HERALD Los Angeles Ia
spared from that dreadful earthquake
and tidal wave which, according 20 the
prediction of local seer, was to have
smashed things in terrific manner a
few days ago, the dread OF which no
doubt caused many sleepless hours
and trembling hearts to those weak
minded whose ignorance and stupidity
caused them to place credence in such
barefaced nonsense.
About 400 years ago Giardino Bruno,
q scientist. was burnt at the stake in
the city OF Rome for asserting that which
is now we'll known to be true. but here
is a person who has asserted things to
happen which has not come to paes, and
very possibly never will. Then the
question is, what will he write himself
down, q prophet or an ass?
Biuno's assertion WAS based on the
eternal principle that governs the uni
verss, or anything relating to the
structure and parts of the system Of
creation. the elements of bodies, the
notifications of material things, the
laws of motion and the order and course
of nature. But this sensationalist or
crank, or whatever he may be. had moth
ing on which he could base the forecast
of an earthquake or tidal wave, or the
sinking Of any part of the country, and
If he knew all science he could not tell
what a day or hour might bring forth.
And it Ia certainly highly presumptive
for person to pretend to know the un-
movable.
But speaking of cranks, I don't mean
to say that the would-be seer is a
crank in the eense that the word is
sometimes used. There are several
kinds of cranks; the criminal crank
with blood in his eye, who can conceive,
plan and execute euoh damnable acts as
those committed by the assassins of Lin.
colin, Garfield, Harrison and Carnot, and
then pretend to plead insanity as an ex-
cuse for their crimes, are net the kind
of crank that this false prophet belongs
to. he is gentle kind OF person, and
has no desire to harm his fellow man,
but only imsgines that he knows more
than he really does. And knowing SO
we'll myself the need of more knowledge,
/ really have strong sympathy for him.
for him, for my opinion is that
while working his rszzle.dazzle on the
catacoustics machine he misunderstood
the operator at the other end OF the
line, and instead of the beautiful City of
the Angels being swallowed up by
earthquakes and tidal waves, it may
have been intended for some place in
the South Sea islands or in the region
OF the south pole. But in case OF an
other attack of nightmare 1 would sd-
wise him to get doctor before the
earthquake spssm comes on.
Truly yours, II. M. MALCoM.

TURTLES GOOD FIGHTERS.
Two of Them Still In a Battle Which Has
Lasted Two Months.

Two months ago crowd of coal min
ers near Newport, Pa, took two snap
ping turtles into cockpit, and forcing
open their jaws poured some whisky
down their throats. Then they were
turned loose on each other, $500 being
wagered on the outcome, but with the
understanding that no decision would
be made until one of the snappers gave
up or was killed. The turtles fought
fiercely, each tearing his antagonist s
head and neck with his horny beak un-
til one obtained Il grip upon the other S
f1ipper.
After brief but Intellectual struggle
to break his antagonists S hold the turtle
whose fipper was caught seized the 9TH
er by the neck. Aside from steady
weaving" motion there was no further
demonstration for several hours. The
crowd of miners watched them from
early evening until long after midnight
when the two turtles, each retaining
his viselike grip on the other, were car
ried from the pit and placed in the eel
lar Of a deserted house.
This was two months ago, and since
neither Of the snappers has shown any
symptoms of weakening his hold upon
the other, and the bets have not yet
been declared off. Chicago Herald.

euNKEo AGAINST ETIQUETTE.
A Florida Congressman Springs wash

Florida Congressman Springs wash
inaton Sample on His Constituents.
Tho following story is told by the
Washington Times Oh one of the Florida
congressman:
The gentleman in question was called
on the other day at his hotel by q dele
CATION Of about 20 citizens from his dis
tirct, who had como to advocate tho
claims of certain candidate for post
mastor, who, ittwas generally under
stood, was to set the place, but whose
nomination failed to be recorded among
the elect on tho yellow tissue paper.
Tho delegation all knew the congress-
man pretty well, and so they went up
to the congressman room in body,
where they found him shaving, and
filed in one by one.
Tho Florida statesman was rather
dismayed by the delegation and didn't t
know just what to do with them, but
after pause he blurted out rather
sharply:
Look here! OF course you know l
don't mind it bit, but man can t
act up here at Washington the way he
would down in Florida They have a
thing they call etiquette up here, and
it's the proper thing to send up your
card before you come to a gentleman S
room.
"All right" said the leader, who
took the matter more seriously than
was intended. "We'll go down stairs
and send up our cards. d"
Before the congressman could recover
from his surprise the whole delegation
filed out of the room without another
word, and a few minutes later o porter
brought up batch Of cards.
The congressman reflected moment.
''Tell them I'm out" was his answer.
The delegation has not been heard OF
since, but it is rumored that they have
purchased books on etiquette 'to learn
what it is anyway"

Tho Days Business ON the New YORK
Stock Exchange.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-With the exception of
brief period of firmness at the opening of
business in the 1nal trading, speculation on
the stock exchange today was heavy, and
the tran sactons resulted in the establishment
of a lower range of values, extending from u to
"a per cent, the latter in Distilling. The chief
interest Of the market was centerei in Disti!-
ling, the sales of which were very heavy.
After the close of business the street was In
formed the company had secured a loan of ba-
tween 81 500, 600 and $5, 600, 900, and that the
Illinois Trust company had taken possession OF
whisky in bond at Peoria and Pekin valued at
$4,000 900. This removes the unsettling infiu-
ence III the market, aud will tend to the estap
lishment OF II healthier market
The heaviness O.. the general list was due to
the general depression of leaders in the trading,
though some of the railroad reports received
were somewhat unfavorable. Changes on the
week were nearly all in the direction OF higher
values.
