with them wherever they went and keep
them from evil. Mrs. Moody spoke feel.

and her departure from the city.
Miss Morse talked very earnestly of the
past work and of the great future of the
association and earnestly admonished the
workers to love the coming secretary and
show her. by earnest helpfulness and
hearty sympathy that each one would do
her part to help her in her new duties and
trials which she would have in coming in
to this field.

Manager Fillmore Reports Much Activity N
the Southwest
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. Manager ]. A.
Fillmore of the Southern Pacific railroad
has returned from a tour of Southern Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico. He says
the mining activity in the mountains ada
cent to the Colorado desert is a marked
feature of the remote southeastern corner
of the state.
Between Salton lake and station on the
line of the Southern Pacific, and Yuma,
fully 500 mining men end prospectors are
in the mountains locating gold mining
claims, Or preparing to erect mills to work
gold-bearing quartz already located. At
one point in the neighborhood a stamp mill
Is already in operation, and a number
of other mills are soon to be erected by
miners living in Los Angeles, or who have
financial connections either in Los Angeles
or this city. He says tho gold mine ten
miles back of Blaisdell, which was recently
sold for $275, 900 is being rapidly devel-
oped. The mine is about fifteen miles east
of Yuma.
In the eastern part of Arizona. he says,
there is considerable activity in copper
mining, particularly in the Globe district,
out from Wilcox, and the Shakespeare dis
trict, out from Lordsburg. These two dis
tricts are the principal copper regions, but
around them are small plants which are
being actively worked.

SAN PEDRO sTABBINd

Chris Carlson Cut Six Times by Another
Sailor Named Charles Williams
Sheriff Burr and Under Sheriff Clements
spent yesterday in San Pedro investigating
the stabbing affray that occurred at that
place Saturday evening. The parties in-
volved were couple of sailors named
Chris Carlson and Charles Williams. There
was an old feud between the men, and
when they met on the street Saturday
evening trouble began. 1t the melee Will
Jams drew his knife, and before he could
be stopped had inflicted six wounds upon
Carlson. Only one is regarded as danger.
GUS. that is q stab III the back. which pene-
trated irto the cavity and punctured the
lung. Immediately after the ARRAY Will
Jams took to his heels and made his escape.
The wounded man was removed to his
home and DR.. w. A. Weldon called in, who
attended to his injuries. tits believed that
Carlson will recover.
1t was reported yesterday that Williams
was seen at Wilmington about IL o'clock
Saturday night. and later at Long Beach.
The officers are close after him and it was
thought that he would be captured last
night.

OPENING FOR EXPLANATIONS

An elaborate exposition of the case
Of Rogsiro Rocha in The HERALD OF
yesterday, has of course deepened and
widened the interest aroused by The
HERALD's previous article on the sub
ject. It developed some conflicts Of
statement that promise TO become in
teresting not only to the public, but
also to Mr.. Frank D. Lewis, the gov
ernment attorney for the Mission In
dians, a gentleman with professional
reputation yalued-by himself and
counsel-at $4,000. 1t will now be in
order for Mr.. Lewis-and his counsel
to explain the difference between
the statements made by himself and
by his friends and legal advisers and
those made by Rocha and his asso-
ciates. It will also be in order for Mr..
Lewis-snd his connsel-to explain
about that trust deed. Mr.. Lewis
and bis counsel-and his friends, have
most emphstically asserted that the
quit claim deed was obtained from
Rogerio Rochs fairly and for
the purpose of throwing sundry
rspscious land hunters off Rocha's
trail, thus saving said Rochs much
trouble and annoyance. They also
affirm that to make Rochs whole q
trust deed of the property was given
him in return for the quit claim deed.
But in a statement subscribed and
sworn to before justice of the peace,
Rochs stoutly asserts that he did not
know that he had signed away any of
his landed rights to Mr.. Lewis, and
that he has not received anything that
would resemble trust deed from Mr..
Lewis. It is also worthy of note that
the notary before whom that trust
deed must have been acknowledged
seems to be missing quantity. In
fact, there are numerous matters in
connection with the case Of Rogerio
Roche that Mr.. Lewis will have to ex-
plain to the end that the $4,000 pro-
fessional character may shine as lum-
inousiy as before.
And there are other chapters to fol-

"Ectid Fungi"


EDITOR HERALD: ''He that is without sin
among you let him first cast stone at
her." "And they went out one by one."
Has j. V. Harmon gone? Oh, no. He re-
mained and threw wordy stones. "De-
testable," "fetid fungi" ''despicable,' y
''vile women" Surely a mans moral
stamina must be in great danger when he
throws such crushing stones as these at
our misguided sisters. am glad The
HERALD said that "the man who acts like
gentleman. and tue woman who COM
ports herself as lady, on the thorough
fares of this city, will enjoy as much inl-
munity from insult as in any city in the
world" l would like to add: No pure
minded man or woman need be alarmed
for his or her safety, or have fear of BE-
ing classed as lewd wherever they may be
or at any time.
1t has often been said by men that
"woman was woman's worst enemy" es-
peciaily so when a woman's virtue was
doubtful. l think the letters to our daily
papers for the past two years on the SUBJ
iect of fallen women will prove to the con-
lrary. There have been many letters,
some similar to that OF j. Y. Harmon and
others, giving advice as to what should be
dcne with these poor women. And they
were all written by men. Even the
brave (?) Ministerial union members are
doubtful whether these women shorld
have rest for their weary feet And one
poor little church found that some of this
''fetid fungi had attached itself near their
house of worship. and mus: appeal 10
he city authorities TO have then,
removed. suppose after this fungi was
gone the church members could praise
God and hold missionary meetings in
peace and quiet. They should have
thanked the Lord that some genuine Christ
ian work was at their very door.
Now, il the ministerial union and all the
other men who are so much concerned
about the social evil will give their atten-
ton and best efforts towards the reforma.
ton Of the fallen men, and the city author.
tiles will arrest the men who visit these
women, instead of arresting the women, it
will look braver, more dignified, and the
knotty problem will solve itself. MRS. c.

In THE acquittal Of Colonel Colt at
CircleviIle, O., law and order won q
victory and q faithful officer received
merited vindicstion. Colonel Colt
commanded the militia which fred
on the lawless mob at Washington
Courthouse in October of 1894. In or
dering his troops to fire on mob
which persisted as that one did in an
attempt to violate the law of the state,
and to wreak the vengeance that be-
longs to the state alone, the colonel
performed his simple duty and it would
have been an eternal disgrace to the
Buckeye commonweal if his trial had
resulted in conviction. The grand
Jury that indicted him must have been
rank in either stupidity or cowardice.
The proposition that any aggregation
Of individuals can usurp the functions
Of the state and punish people accused
Of crime needs good deal of discour-
agement in these United States. It is
TO be hoped that there will always be
q brave commander at the head of
plucky troops to administer discour-
oRsment Of the violent kind whenever it
II needed.
