Sudden Passing of DIR. C. S. S,atd of Los
Angeles.


SANTA MONICA, CAL, Aug. &c. S.
Shadd, prominent colored physician of
Los Angeles, dropped dead at the lower
depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company here yesterday morning.
Shadd was born in Philadelphia forty
five years ago and was a graduate of
Howard College, at Washington, D. c. He
went to Los Angeles about three years ago
to try rhe climate for a complication of
lung and heart troubles. His visit to
Santa Monica was for the purpose of per-
forming a difficult operation. He was
taken sick on the train and when he
reached the lower freight depot and while
walking from one depot to the other he
told his wife he would have to sit down as
he was exhausted. Before he could do so
he dropped dead at her feet.
The autopsy showed a rupture of the
arteries of the heart.

SANTA MONICA, CAL, Aug 4.-The
body of man named Domineck was found
in newly built two-story building at La
Ballona this morning. There was bullet
hole through the forehead, and the head
was battered. Death had evidently occurred
several days ago.
Coroner Campbell made thorough in
vestigation of the matter and is of the
opinion that Dominick was slain for the
few hundred dollars he had saved. Mr.
Messner for whom he worked for some
time, says he had saved up at least two or
three hundred dollars, and only about $50
has been found.
A pistol was found on the bed aside of
the body. One shell was empty. A fare
well message in German, part written in
English by some one else, was lying near
the body. 1t is the general opinion that
these were left behind by the murderer in
clumsy attempt to give his crime the ap-
pearance of case of suicide.

STILL INCREASING.

Exports and Manufactures Growing Under
tho Wilson Tariff.
At the risk of infringing on their pa
ticnce we must again ask: What have
our high tariff friends to say now of tho
effect OF the Wilson bill on the manu-.
featuring business of this country? Arc
they still of the opinion that American
mills and factories will not be able to
meet European competition in their
home territory The new law has been
in force about a year, and what is the
result? The cotton mills OF New Eng
land and the south are oil running. The
weekly output of our iron furnaces has
for q couple of months been larger than
it was at any period under tho Mchin-
lev bill. The hourmills of the country
are buster now than they ever were
before. Our woodworking establish
ments are behind in their work and
steel manufa cturcrs have orders enough
ahead to keep them busy for months.
The same is true OF our wooden mills,
tobacco factories and manufacturing
esta Adjustments generally.
Trade has been stimulated and manu-
facturers are exceptionally busy in con-
sequence. They have been able to
meet European competition, not only
in the United States, but in other
countries as well, and even in Europe.
Our exports of manufactures have been
increasing steadily for several months.
The only exception was II q uAS'
They were smaller that month than In
May, but larger than in any other
month of the year. They were larger,
too, than in June, 1894. From little
over s12 ZOO, 900 in February-about the
same as in the corresponding month OF
last ycar-they have increased steadily
month by month, not counting May,
when our foreign trade was SO excer-
tionally heavy that increase in the sue
ceeding month could not be looked for.
The official report for August shows
q gain that month of about g, SOC, 600
over the sales of our surplus manufae-
turers in the corresponding month Of
last year. AS stated in that dispatch,
our exports for the year to September
1 amounted to $3.50, 44O, 1854, as compared
with sl1s, 1850, 145 in the first eight
months of 1894. If the same percent
age Of increase is kept up to the end Of
the year, the total for 1895 will foot up
nearly e1o5, 900 900, or 10000, 600 moro
than our exports of manufactures in
the best fiscal year of the Mckinley
period.
Our manufacturers certainly have no
reason to complain OF the results of
democratic legislation on the tariff.
They have been benefited and SO have
their customers and the country in
general.-St. Louis Republic.

AS every one knows, tho MclA1nley
bill was drawn to increase taxes and
decrease revenues. It made duties
high to prevent importation. Having
discovered that the annual revenue
from the Wilson bill amounts to two
dollars and thirty-six cents per capita,
against only one dollar and ninety
cents per capita under the higher du-
ties of the Mckinley bill, the Tribune
makes the preposterous assertion that
this increase is ''drawn from the Pock-
cts of the people,"
In the very next column, however, u
advertises a variety of goods at Wilson,
bill prices, and in doing so utterly re-
flutes its claim that the increase in rev

A Human Autograph Album.

A singular medical freak has been
exhibited before the Clevelan (Ohio)
Medical Society. The subject, whose
name is Brokaw. and who works in a
steel mill, is twenty-tour years Of age
and finely developed physically. He
went to DIR. Aldrich few days ago to
have his lungs examined, and as the
physician tapped and hammered on
his brawny chest he presently noticed
that little elevations aud ridges were
appearing everywhere he struck.
Amusement succeeded interest rs
the doctor discovered in few minutes
that the mans whole breast was swol-
len and angry looking. He was in
formed that that condition had long
existed and that the effects of irrtat.
ing the skin in like manner lasted
sometimes for hours. When the pa
tient was placed on exhibition before
the society letter, which had been
impressed upon his arm during the
afternoon, was still visible.
Some of the physicians expert
mentel with match sticks until the
mans back was II veritable auto 1raph
album in embossed letters. Brokaw
said he was in perfect health and that
this peculiar senSitiveness caused him
no trouble, tn, only sensation being II
slight burning. Letters and words
written upon him during the time the
society WAS in session appeared with
distinctness when he retired from til ,
room. Philadelphia Record.

Red Ribbons for Mosquitoes.

An enterprlslng young man, who Is

thing that will be of incstimublc value

this down-the-river bont house were
nearly torn to pieces by mos quitoes
every time they attempted 10 sleep in
the house ut night Screens seemed
to be of no avail, and it looked at one
time rs if the house would have to be
abandoned. Finally, nn old lady,
who lived in the neighborhood, told
them TINT she hud not been troubled
by mosquitoes for several years. Her
remedy was astonlshlngIy simple. She
discarded all screens, and threw the
windows wide open ut night. Across
the open space Of the window she
stretched II piece Of red ribbon about
two inches wide. "A mosquito" said
she, 'cannUt be induced to pass that
ribbon. Why it is So | do not know,
but | know the natives Of India take

The Origin 0! the Word DagO.

The Times Herald has recently had
several inquiries as to the meaning Of
the word "dago."
1t is not au Italian word, nor \
legitimate word in any language. 1t
is derived from the Spanish proper
name Diego, pronounced Dyago,
which is the most common Christian
name of men in Spain, st. Diego or
St. James being the tuteary saint of
that country. All Spanish mothers
name one son after the saint, and the
result is that Diego is the Christian
name one oftenest hears among the
Spaniards and on the borders of the
Mediterranean.
From this came the habit of the
sailors of all nationalities in the Medi-
terranean of calling every man en-
ployed on vessels whose name was un.
known to them Diego or Dago, that
being the name they most frequently
heard among such employees. Just as
mates and captains on our lakes and
rivers call the generality of their
roustabouts "John," that being the
name most usually heard among us.
From this custom of the sailors the
transition wss easy in this country to
call all foreigners Dagos that came
from the Mediterranean shores, and
hence the name is applied indis-
criminately to Italians, Greeks, 81
cilians and Spaniards.
1t Is mere nickname, but it Is SO
deeply rooted in popular speech that
it will always endure. 1t is like the
word yankee, which among foreigners
is considered to be the name of the
whole American people, though pmong
ourselves we discriminate largely as
to its applicability. Chicago Times.
