AS The Herald predicted last Saturday,
the Board of Supervisors quashed the
little job which the Pacific Impro vement
Company ana certain loyal citizens
sought to put up on the people of San
Pedro. The company made a hard fight
to prevent the use OF these roads beyond
the light house and the burial ground,
thus preventing the people from reaching
Whites Point, their favorite holiday re-
sort by the accustomed roads, but
the argum ants advanced by Francis J.
Thomas, legal adviser OF the city Of San
Pedro, and Roman d. Sepulveda, an in
terested property owner, effectualy pre-
vented such an injstce from being per-
petrated. The board unanimously adopted
resolution declaring that Pacific and
Hamilton avenues be left open, and all
Other roads over which the county had
acquired prescriptive rights and thus
terminates this latest move OF the South
ern Pacific Company of Kentucky against

Myst' riouS Escapr from a Phila-
dclphia Cuy Hospital

Philadelphia, Oct at has Just
leaked out that James Benjamin, the
most recent acquisition to the leper ward
at the Municipal hospital escaped fully
month ago and is at large now. The
fact that he escaped has been withheld,
1t being the desire of the hospital author
tiles to keep the matter secret. Benia-
min is the most interesting of the trio OF
lepers in that department of the hospi-
tai. He was arrested about six months
ago The man was about 80 years old,
well built, swarthy complexion and ex-
ceedingly well educated. He claimed to
be West Indian, although his features
more mbled those of the negro in
termixed with the Caucasian. Where
he came from originally, how or where
he contracted the disease and who or
what his family connections are, neither
the police nor those who were more in
timately acquainted with him were ever
able to ascertain. 1t is limited that the
officials at the hospital knew that the
lepor left the institution on a number of
occasions during the night for a few
hours. On the last occasion he failed
to turn up

A Way to sweeten Lard.

After frying doughnuts or fritters or
anything of that kind shave off few
slices of potatoes when you are done
with the grease and drop them in the
sizzling fat; let them cook an instant
and then set on the back of the stove
to cool very slowly. In the course of
half an hour remove to place to cool
more rapidly, and just before It gets
beyond the pouring stage strain
through cloth into a clean jar. Yon
will fiud that the lard is nearly as
sweet as ever, being only little darker,
which does not hurt 1t for frying cakes

About One Hundred Names Dropped

Buildings Rolls ut Albany-Dem o.
Gratis and Republicans Both In

Albany, Oct 2.-There was consterna-
tion in the ranks Of the state dc ..4rtment
of public buildings last night when it
was learned that Supt Easton had de-
termined upon many changes The to-
tai number employed in the maintenance
department of the capitol, which has the
care of all the state buildings here, in
Guiding the executive mansion, is in the
neighborhood of 250. To-day is the be-
ginning of the coming fiscal year, and
when the roll was called this morning in
this department it was learned that
about 100 names had been dropped.
Those whose names have been eliminated
from the rolls include three democratic
night watchmen at the capitol, who have
been there for the past ten years, order
lies, elevator men and members of the
cleaning gang, including several women,
and number of the employees in the
basement of the building as we'll as
nearly all those at the executive man
sion. This lay-off was unexpected A
number of republicans are included in it,
although large party of those dis
charged are democrats. One Of the rea-
sons given for the reduction of the force
is that the payroll is too large for the APP
preparation which the department has at
its disposal for the ensuing year.

Steamship Line from New Orleans
Washington, Oct. 2.-Consul O'Hara
writes the department of state from San
Juan del Norte, Nicaragua, his station,
that it is reported in Bluefelds that the
Southern Pacific Railway company will
discontinue running it's vessels of the
Morgan line of steamships between New
Orleans and Bluefelds. The reasons
assigned for this action are the low price
OF bananas and the difficulty of COM
peting with vessels owned by Norwe-
gians and manned by the poorly paid
sailors of that nation.

point, off which there is a dangerous
reef When the commander of the
cruiser saw that he could not make

TO throw out additional anchors. but
they would not hold.
The Cruiser Abandoned.
Another report says that the cruiser
ran on the reef at night time when her
commander believed her to be far
enough of shore to continue steaming
against the gale. She was finally aban-

crew.
Work of Insurgents Hinted at.
1t is limited that this latest disaster to
the Spanish government was the work of
Insurgents. that the cruiser was sunk by
torpedo exploded by rebels. This is
denied from official sources. There is
no doubt, however, that the govern
ment has not thought it proper to
make public all the facts in the case,
and this may not be done until the off
cial report of the commander of the
wrecked cruiser has been received and
passed upon.
