when the people along the river front
saw that the patrol was going to tho
wharfboat, sone who jump to con.
clusions with rapidity that would be
their misfortune in anything olse,
said that another smallpox case was
on hand. Tho truth Of the mat

II has just leaked out how easily q
prominent business man was swindled
out Of twenty dollars. Last December
mauJtook orders for Grants atlns,
Published In Now York, around town,
aud inter ceiling one in tho office OF tho
Reymann Brewing Company and one to
Hon. Charles Schmidt at n reduced
price. went to Mr.. Frcd Happy, telling
him that tho two copies had boon sold
at the regular price Of thirty dollars
each and as he had just ono left and
wanted to mako train in short tino,
offered Mr.. Happy this last atlas at
twenty dollars. The bait was well mp.
piled. Mr.. Happy believing that no
could make ten dollars by the transac.
ton, paid the twenty dollars and the
stranger, who called himself Grant and
pretended to be ono Of the PUBLISHERS,
left.
About week afterwards the agent
reappeared in town and went to Mr..
Schmidts house. trying to borrow his
atlas Tor few days, stating that sup.
ply shipped from the house had failed
to reach him in time, and he had not
even a sample to show, causing a heavy
loss to him. Mr.. Schmidt being absent,
the reques. was refused, and the agent
went to Nr. Happy. whom he found at
home, and told tho same story. Mr..
Happy trusted tho strangers open face,
inasmuch more as the agent promised
to replace the loaned copy by far bet
ter bound one with big map OF the
Sandwich Islands and the picture Of
Queen Liliuo kalani within a few days.
The additional inducement offered
carried the day.
So far the promi,cd atlas has failed
to reach Mr.. Happy. and letter ad.
dressed to the publisher in New York,
stating tho facts, is still unanswered,
plainly showing that Mr.. Happy, who
otherwise Is very conservative in his
business transactions. has fallen tho
victim OF slick swindler.

THE ACTION OF THE LEAGUE
Mr.. G. ]. Griffith Covers the
Matter With a Statement
THE PROPOSED ABOLITION
OF Two of the Lucrative Municipal
Offices
A Comprehensive View Of the Interesting
situation-A Proposition Which Is APP
proved by Many Citizens

Mr.. G. J. Griffith Of the Citizens
League yesterday gave Herald repre-
sentative the following statement which
seems to fully cover the matter regarding
the proposed adjustment of the offices
of city assessor and city tax collector:
Tho argument against the proposed
abolition OF the offices of city assessor
and city tax collector was given to the
public last Saturday, and it would have
been much better for the cause in the
advocacy of which il was put forward If
it had been left unheard of. 1t was pre-
pared by one of the ablest gentlemen in
the local public service, and considerable
surprise is expressed at the poor showing
made; but it is not from lack of ability,
but rather from the inherent weakness
of the cause advocated. In the first place,
the portion of the new law which is
quoted is a comparatively immaterial
part, relating only TO the disposition of
the minor duties of the city assessor and
city tax collector and not to the principal
part of the work of those officers, the as
sessing and collecting. That portion of
the act which applies to the rain part of
this question. the cost, is section 6,
which is as follows:
''Sec. 6. The board of supervisors, on
the filing OF itemiZed statements by the
county auditor and county tax collector,
showing the additional expense to their
offices of assessing and collecting those
local taxes, may, by an order spread up
on the minutes, deduct such expenses
from the taxes OF such municipal corpor-
alton or city while in the hands of the
county tax collector and cover the same

A MISGUIDED ORGAN

Fresno would hardly be the enterpris-
ing and wideawake little town that it is
today were it not for the protection that
raisils have received, and the only draw
back to its future prospects is the fact
that the protection now accorded is not
high enough.
The Expositor would hardly have been
in existence had il not been for a pro-
tective tariff. Freseno would have no
need of newspaper; and unless some
thing further is done in that direction
by the Republican congress, or the next
Republican administration, it will be a
very serious question whether we shall be
many years favored with the brilliant
theoretical articles of that paper upon the
benefits of free trade--Los Angeles Ex-
press.
esteemed Los Angeles contemporary
doesn't know what it is talking about
when it comes to Fresno and free
trade'' in raisins. The Express either
ignores or is ignorant of the fact that the
raisin industry in California grew up and
nourlshed. and made Fresno famous
around the world under what it is pleased
to call "free trade in raisins.
The Express must know, or it can
easily find out, that until the meddle-
some and very unwiase Mckinley act
went into effect the tariff on raisins of
all kinds, Zante currants, London layers
and all intermediate grades, was just
what 1t is fixed at in the present tariff
law.
2 Before the Mckinley law went into
effect the raisin business was more pros
porous than it ever has been since. 1t
was then under strictly revenue tariff.
the same that was. put on raisns before
the era of high protection. That tariff
was a free trade tariff"
The Mckinley act segregated raIsins
into two classes, at the behest of the
Greek minister in Washington. who ask
ed 10 have Zante currants admitted free
of duty. The tariff on other kinds of
| raisins was put up a cent pound, and
since that law went into effect the rasin
growers have learned how protection
has affected them.
Millions of pounds of Zants currants
were thrown on the American market to
compete with the seedless raisins of Cali
fornia, and now all that the raisin grow
ers of California have any right to ask is
to put back the tariff to where 1t was be.
fore Mckinley ''monkeyed' with it.
That is what Senator White got congress
to do. and now Republican board of APP
praisers in New York is trying to keep
in force the provision of the Mckinley
law exempting Zante currants from pay
ing the revenue duty they had to pay
thirty years ago.
The Express is informed that the Ex-
positor was in existence before Mckinley
ism became a craze; also that Fresno is
not dependent on the pro ective tariff for
any OF Its prosperity. The people of
Fresno county ask to be taxed only for
public purposes, rather than to make
monopolists rich, and to have their pub
lie affairs wisely and economically adj.
ministered. They ask for no other pro-
tection.-Fresno Exposition.

ARRESTED FOR GRAND LARCENY
William Longstreet Arrested on Suspicion o
Stealing n Watch


Stealing q Watch
Detective Steele and officer Richards
arrested William Longstreet yesterday on
a charge of grand larceny. During the
latter part of July Longstreet was en-
ployed by Mrs. Patry to do some paint
Jig at her lodging house at 1lS South
Water street. He helped to carry trunk
into one of the rooms. Mrs. Patry locked
the door and hung the key on the wall
cut side. Latter in the day she had &C.
casion to go to the trunk to get some-
thing out and discovered that her gold
watch was Kissing.
She reported the matter to the police
and said that she suspected Longstreet.
A sharp watch was kept, but nothing de-
veloped until about the 23d of this
month. officer Richards saw the watch
in Steele's pawn shop. 1t was found that
the ticket to the watch had been made
out to H. c. Longstreet and good de-
script.on of the man was secured. De-
tectve Steele was also put at work and
the two officers hunted for the fellow.
They finally learned that he lived on
Boyle Heights, and yesterday Mr.. Steele
went after him. He succeeded in finding
his man on Chicago street near Second
after considerable of a search and brought
him to the station.
Mrs. Patry came to the station and
identified Longstreet. The latter claims
to know nothing of the occurrence, claim
ing TO have been drunk at the time.

many friends and they turned out in
force last evening to testify to their
friendship. Miss Carrie Clark Ward-or
Mrs. c. Berch to give her now her proper
title-is also we'll and favorably known
in this city as in San Francisco.
1t was long after s O'Clock when the
curtain was rung up on the first act OF
the four-act comedy, A Country Girl.
The play is of Indifferent merit but as it
was not the play the people were present
fairly we'll. however, to lead up TO the
marriage scene in the last act. Jack

his wife Mary Baxter miss Carrie Clark
Ward) who had deserted him some years
previously owing to his harsh words.
WithSa cry OF recognition on his part his
whilom wife, instead of flying to his
arms and burying her nose in his waist
coat, in strict consonance with dramatic
requirements, fled off the stage with
her newly discovered husband close be-
hind.
few minutes later to the inspiring
strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march,
Rev. W. G. Bowman entered from the
left wing, followed by William Bennett
with Miss Ward upon his arm. At the
same moment Carl Berch appeared from
the right wing leading Miss Virginia Bow.
man, the bridesmaid. Miss Ward was
attired in a blue brocaded gown with
sweeping train, and her bridesmaid
looked remarkably pretty in gown of
delicately patterned chiffon with silk
sleeves and bodice OF crushed straw berry
suit.
As the strains OF the Wedding March
died away Rev. W. G. Bowman spoke
essentially as follows:
"Since the worlds q stage and men
and women merely players, it is well that
this play should end with marriage
scene. By the authority vested in me by
the laws of California and in consonance
with the higher laws of nature, l unite
in marriage Carrie Clark Ward with
Charles e. Berch of this co.nty. Do you
two recognize the absolute equality of
the other in assuming this solemn rela-
ton, with interests not diverse, but mu-
tual and identical? Do you pledge equ L
affection, purity, morality and fidelity?
If you so do, join your right hands in
token of your assent and pledge"
. The contracting parties having clasped
hands, the reverend gentleman resumed:
Having thus consented to this alli-
ance, l pronounce you husband and wife,
in that infinite spirit OF unity and har-
mony, and ask that benediction of con-
cord that can make this relation pro-
longed happiness to both. May the spirit
mate You both, and we thus commend
you to life's future-amen."
Carl Berch exercised his newly con-
serred prerogative, not by depositing
stage KISS behi ina his brides right ear,
but like any otner everyday mortal. by
kissing his bride squarely and, tenderly
on the lips. The ceremony was over; the
audience applauded.

Well Enough to Make the Se-
lection Complete

Before the rise Of another sun G. F. A.
Last will have been officially transformed
into General Charles +. Last, command
ing the second brigade National Guard
State of California. The com ission and
the other military papers in the case will
today be signed bv Governor Budd and
are due to arrive in Los Angeles in to-
morrow's mail, although they may have
been signed at Sacramento on Saturday,
in which event they will reach Los An
geles this afternoon.
The contest for the position has been
long and somewhat bitter one. Cen
eraI Last has been from the first the ia
vorite of the governor for the honor, but
his prospective appointment aroused
storm of opposition among an eleme nt
OF jealous prohibitionists, and for that
reason the vacancy has been permitted
to remain untitled for nearly five months.
Adjutant General Barrett, who is
strong personal and political friend of
the new brigade commander, made out
General Lasts commission before he
went east to attend the recent grand en-
campment held at Louisville. Ky. This
statement General Barrett made to sew
eral leading Democrats during his lasG
visit to Los Angeles. All that was neces.
sary at that time to make of plain
Charles +. Last Brigadier General G. f.
A. Last was the signature of Governor
Budd. The governors recent severe i'll.
ness prevented the final official touches
to the appointment, and one of the first
things Budd did after resuming his du-
ties at the state capital was to sign his
name to General Lasts commission.
The appointee is not yet 35 years old.
His military experience covers period of
several years, principally acquired in
San Francisco. He is pronounced Dem
ocrat and is very popular. The appoint
ment will prove generally satisfactory
throughout the brigade. and while not
in every sense a political one, will
please every Democrat in this end of the
state.
