of bidders yesterday morning for city re-
funding bonds. and the high premiums
offered. The greatest premium rendered
on the issue of 1886, 900 was $40, 1894, max
ing the rate of interest for the city 4 is
per cent. This is the lowest rate that
any bonds of western city outside of San
Francisco have been placed at. 1t shows
that in the opinion Of long-headed finan
ciers, men who never experiment or take
chances, Los Angeles is in the category
of great cities as far as financial standing is
concerned. The additional fact that the
whole issue is bid for by well-known
New York firm, should brace up some of
the silurans and mossbacks at home,
who hesitate about making legitimate
investments for fear that things are not
quite sure yet"

RIVERSIDE IN LINE

And now Riverside has gone into the
home of the navel in California almost
threatened policy of seclusion, showing
tendency to ''go it alone" She seemed
content to wall herself around with the
glory achieved before Redlands, High
lands. Duarte, Azusa, Covina and score
of other promising points opened up as
competitors in the production of the
golden fruit. But she has evidently dis
cerned that the prestige of old is not
alone sufficient to build future upon, so
she joins the procession of periodical is
pays. Riverside has much to boast of in
the past, and will have with the right
kind of enterprise and sagacity, more to
be proud of in the future. 1t is undoubt-
eddy the model orange colony of the
state. In appearance and prod
her orchards are yet unexcelled, and no
similar area of territory in Southern Cali
fornia can show such an extent of bear
ing trees. 1t has often been stated, and
we do not recall any refutation, that Riv-
erside possessed greater per capita of
wealth than any other community south
OF Fresno, and cons idering the mainten-
ance of her land values il is evident the
people have not to any great degree been
impoverished by the stress of the last two
years. In establishing an Orange day"
Riverside evinces realization OF the
importance of festal occasions both as
affording recreation tor her own people
and attractions for strangers. We feel
sure that the celebration will be held in
a manner worthy the genial and cultured
people of the place that first made Cali
fornia great in the eyes of the world as
citrus state.

Editor Herald The Records sugges-
ton that the consumptives should be pre-
vented from depositing their sputa upon
sidewalks is receiving attention. We in
vite our readers to a discussion of this
question which. in Los Angeles, is OF
serious consequence. Evening Record.
"'All men are created free and equal
and endowed with certain dnalienable
rights" but expectoration is evidently
not one OF the latter 1t is privilege, APP
parently. enjoyable only under conditions
to be prescribed by the board of health.
The medical body should assemble forth
with and establish the limits of expecto-
ration, or provide for the issue of eImits
to all citizens entitled to the privilege OF
splitting. Then when a citizen desired to
expectorate he could halloo to police
man, or if too full Tor utterance, =" he
could attract the attention of the guardian
of the peace and sidewalks by waving his
hands and feet If the officer hap
pened to be away, gone to raid a fan tan
game or practicing the goose step, why
then the eXpectorator could wait. Men
who do such things always have plenty of
time anyhow. When the aspirant for
spittle honors ultimately secures an aud
fence with the blue coats, he could sub
NIT the official evidence of his freedom
from restriction and if, after a careful and
minute perusal and inspection of the in
StIument or special privilege the law en-
forcer found it o. X. in all particulars,
the formal permission to "let her CO.
could be given. 1t wouldn't be bad idea
to arm each minion of the law with
copy of a standard work on microbes and
1000 horse power microscope, SO that
he could detect any tabooed expectoration
that might escape. Or course the project
is novel and some cantankerous people
will criticise i, but it is entirely feasible;
anybody can see that. w. B. |.

nished by the stock and bond exchange
will acquaint him with the market value
of the security in mind. The result is
business is facilitated in every line that
stocks and bonds play part in. In this
city there is great array of good in
terest-paying and dividend bearing stocks
and bonds, the issues of solid and profit
able enterprises, continually and often
vainly seeking buyers. There is also
great number of people of large and small
means who for various reasons are de-
sirous of securing some form Of invest
ment other than real estate. These large
and small capitalists would gladly enter
the arena of securities if it could be done
under the conditions o. intelligence and
certainty that an exchange honorably
conducted could afford. The banker. the
broker, the financier. in fact each and
every person occupied in the enlargement

mediate creation of the right kind of a
stock and bond exchange, for within its
portals millions of helpful capital can be
welded to thousands of lucrative oppor-

A QUEER CASE
Looks as If 1t Grew Out of Breach of Promise
Case


Case
SAN FRANCISCO. April PC. B.
Fulton, alias Frank Whitney, an operatic
singer. wants it understood that he is
the victim of one woman's jealousy and
of another's hate
He was arrested few days ago on four
charges of grand larceny, the complain
ing witness being Mrs. A. s. Berger of 7
Lilac avenue, at whose house he roomed.
Fulton. since 1886. has met Mrs. Laura
de Hull. who has breach of promise
suit pending in the Fresno county courts
against Lucius Edgerly, a ralsin grower,
II which she claims $50 900 da.n lges.
Fulton alleges that Mrs. de Hull is at the
bottom of his troubles. When the cases
against him were called today he recount
ed a portion of Mrs. de Hull S history.
He said she was connected with the ia
nous Crouch murder case in Michigan,
and that she had been the keeper OF
houses of i'll fame in Detroit. and in In
dianapois. For years he lost trace of
her till on last Thanksgiving day. Will e
he was walking along Market street with
Mrs. Berger. he met her face to face.
She spoke to him and he introduced her
to Mrs. Berger. Since then she has been
poisoning Mrs. Berger's mind against
him, which had led to his arrest.
Knowing Mrs. de Hull's past history
Edgerly had offered him $1,000 to testify
in his favor in the breach OF promi Sc suit
and Mrs. de Hull having ascertained tina t
fact had offered him $3.50 cash down to
go to New York and $3.50 more if she pro-
cured a verdict in her favor.

THE WRONG PLACE FOR A PEST HOUSE

The Herald is in receipt of complaints
from residents in the vicinity OF Griffin
avenue and Henry street. to the effect
that pest house in which several lepers
are confined has been established in the
locality. The people seem quite indg-
nant, and apparently with great justice,
that SO loathsome and dangerous an in
stitution should be placed in a growing
residence part of the city. In addition
to the obnoxious affair imperiling this
neighborhood, it endangers greater ex
panse of territory by being so situated as
to permit of its filthy drainage entering
an arroyo that runs back of the county
hospital and empties into the river near
First street, thus exposing a good part of
the city's population to the contagion of
the disease germs that float down the ar
royo waters. With the approach of warm
wether the danger of storehouse of
disease so located as to affect such con-
siderable area is bound to be multiplied.
Surely there is enough land of the re-
quired character lying out of doors in
this county to make the selection of a
pesthouse site in populated part of the
city entirely unnecessary. This subject
is one Of superior Importance and should
meet the thorough consideration of the
council and the board of health, without
delay.

SOMETHING WE NEED

One of the most necessary adjuncts to
business in city of the size and charac-
ter of Los Angeles is stock and bond
exchange. The lack of such an institu-
ton here has been much observed by
strangers from the up-to date east, and
has seriously Inconvenience the large
and rapidly increasing mercantile and
financial classes of this city and section.
Southern California is possessed of hun
dreds of public, quasi-public and private
corporations which issue various forms of
bonds and stocks.
Municipalities, school districts and ir-
r'gation districts offer their credit in the
shape of bonds to the public for the nee
essary funds with which to carry out the
purposes of organization. Banking and
trust corporations, whose functions are
the lending and borrowing of money have
their capital stock and debenture and
mortgage bonds for sale. Railroad and
land and water companies adopt similar
methods for securing the investment or
loan of capital. Daily industrial and
commercial corporations are being organ
lied, with capital stock to place before
the man with money. In new and
growing country, with few great fortunes
but many small ones and multitude of
little sums, the purposes of trade and the
facilities for development are commonly
attained through incorporated assoca-
tons. 1t is only through such agencies
that great or considerable enterprises
may be established and maintained.
Public corporations are always in the
market as borrowers. Thus, altogether,
we have vast and varied list of securi-
ties and shares seeking to enlist capital.
Some are good. some fair, and others bad
very bad. But, outside OF a srnall CO.
terie of personally interested parties. few
people will know anything of the re-
spective or relative merits of these pledges
of assets or credits. There exists no COM
mon authority from which reliable infor-
nation may be obtained regarding the
value of the stock or bond rendered
the contemplating investor. The
needed knowledge must be sought
in the hooks and corners of trade,
in the highways and byways of the mar
ket. You may get it from man who
knows, or a man who thinks he knows,
or another who can reveal the truth but
because of self-interest or other motive
insists upon lying. In any event both
the way of securing the facts and the
facts themselves are generally unsatsfac-
tory. The success OF all enterprises seek
ing either loans or investments OF capital
depends on the ease and economy with
which their securities or credit may be
negotiated. The utter absence of any
general knowledge of the bonds and
stocks of even the better class of home
corporations makes them practically I'M
available for hurried realization. In
almost any eastern city of consequence
party considering the feasibility of
lending on or buying certain stock or
bond, glance at the quotations fur

city. For more than eight years Miss
Patton has been a teacher of our
children, and the testimony given by
all has been that of warmest praise
and appreciation. Her work as a
teacher of the primary department
has been peculiarly trying, but
through all her years of service a
sunny temper, a hopeful heart, a
bright mind and an indomitable will
have gained for her the triumph over
difficulties. Nor has her influences
been confined to the school room. AS
the eldest of four daughters she has
always lent a helpful hand to her
father in the training of the younger
members OF the family. As a member
of the Presbyterian church, from
whose walls she now goes rs a mis-
sionary to Japan, she has been faith
full and efficient. In the Sunday
School her teaching has borne rich
fruit. In the Young Peoples Associ-
alton her assistance has always been
sought and as readily given, and in
Ladies' Missionary Society her heart
and soul have been warmly engaged.
Loyal to Gods word, true to her
duties to all the members and eff
Gent in her services, she carries with
her the tender interest and sincere
prayers of the entire congregation.
Mexico points with pride to her work
in the past and hopefully wishes for
and anticipates her ueces in the
future.
