SANTA CATALINA
The Seaside Resort Improves on Acquaint.

AVALON, July 26-Perhaps more than
one "tenderfoot" has been a trifie dis
appointed at the first glimpse of Cata-
lima island. Perhaps more than one.
too, has suffered from slight headache
coming over and has not been particu-
larly on the lookout to find that enchant-
ment that distance lends. Consequently
as the steamer ceases to roll and YOU
know your are there" and take your
first peep out, the full view of the resort
strikes you at once, and that unfavora-
bly,, and all the preconceived ideas of
the romantic and picturesque "sunlit
isle come down with thud.
The first glance through the glare of sun
and water falls on the clay and bright
green of the barren hills, covered with
funny little tufts of verdure, and here
and there dotted with bright red roof
all standing out terribly distinct in the
strong light; all of which again recalls
to you, and many tenderfoot the keen
disappointment in the first impressions
Of the scenery of this semi-tropic land,
and makes you wish again for only lit
tie green grass to cover the hills and
few trees to rest the eye. You forget
for the time that these are camping
grounds. Just before you is the main
thoroughfare, long strip along the sea
that is like nothing else so much in the
world as the Midway Plaisance. The
waters edge, it is true, marks the one
side, with small fishing boats rocking
along the shore, but on the other is a line
of curio shops, the hotels, and on the
street donkeys canter to and fro as only
donkeys can. There is constant tide
Of humanity moving up and down that
as time goes on reminds you more and
more of a thoroughfare in an oriental
city.
But this is the evening of the first day.

RIVERSIDE, July 26.-The clothing
store of VIM. Mclean & Co. was entered
Friday night some time and relieved of
$780, The money was in small locked
box in the showcase and was there as
an advertising scheme, the customer
buying a certain amount of goods being
given key. At a certain date the per-
son having the key which would fit the
lock on the box would get the $780, Some
fellow concluded there was a surer way
to get that $50, and that was via the sky
light by means of a rope. The glass
front to the box was broken and the
money taken out. There was $75 in the
money drawer, which was left, probably
because the thief did not look into the
drawer. There is no way of identifying
the money, as the numbers of the bills
were not kept.

SAN DIEGO. July 26.-Sho Nemoto

sioners who are in California to investi-
gate the feasibility of establishing 4
steamship line between this coast and
Japan, arrived in this city on Thursday
afternoon. accompanied by General
Manager John Il. Boal of the San Diego
Land and Town company and president
Morse of the chamber of commerce. who
had gone to Los Angeles to meet them.
Their reception here was cordial in the
extreme and the program included a
trip on the bay and as for as the whist
ling buoy outside on the United States
light house steamer Madrona. Both gen.
tlemen expressed themselves as being
greatly impressed with San Diego har-
Dor and it's great advantages for COM
merce and shipping and Mr.. Muoto, the
senior commissioner, informed The Her.
aid representative that the speedy es-
tablishment of a line of ocean steam
ships was practically assured. The line
Will consist of seven 5000-ton steamships
backed by company capitalized at $6,-
100000 and heavily subsidized by the
Japanese government. The principal
exports expected to be shipped through
this port are cotton, iron ore, petroleum
and flour, all of which articles are in big
demand in Japan. 1t is now a settled
fact that the steamship line is backed
by the Santa Fe Railroad company and
this being the case assures it's success.
The route from Yokahoma to the great
cotton fields of the south and east will
thus be shortened by several days.

ADVANCED FIREMEN.
A Fixed Complement at the Engine
House.

At the regular meeting of the board
of fire commissioners yesterday, Com
missioner Vetter introduced the follow
ing. which was ordered sent to the 'coun-
ell for final action:
I'm connection with occupying the new
engine house on Hill street. we would
recommend that four of the present
callmen of the department be advanced
to the position of hosemen on the per-
manent force. with pay advanced from
$25 per month. now allowed, to $50 per
month each. This will insure fixed
complement of men on duty at this
house at all times, ready for the emer-
gency of an alarm of fire, and Is in line
with the necessity Of placing the entire
department on full paid basis as soon
as practicable.
1--WE would also recommend promoting
one of the present permanent men of
the force to the position of captain at
this house, with pay increased from SIS.
now allowed. to $50 per month, as al
lowed captains in other houses of the
department.
1.-The transfer of Park Hose apparatus
to this house. as now provided for. saves
$50 per month rent, and about $15 per
month incidental expense. The appa-
ratus stationed in the Hill street house
covers the most important part of the
city, and we consider the changes here
IN mentioned as highly necessary"
Permission was granted c. c. Fulton

STAATS WILL FIGHT.
He Demands the Franchise for Which
He Offered.

The people backing the West Side
Lighting company do not propose to he
beaten out of the franchise for which
they were the next to the highest bid
ders. On recommendation of the board
of public works, in line with the opinion
given by City Attorney w. e. Dunn, the
council is expected to award the cleo
M. Garland. Mr.. Garland's bid was
higher than that OF w. r. Stats of the
West Side company, but the latter main
tains that as Garland is a member of
the board, Of education, and as all city
officials are barred from obtaining fran
chises and contracts from the city, the
bid should not be considered. In reply
to this Mr.. Garland asserts that he
was acting merely as agent for w. r.
Allen, who was the real bidder.
Mr.. Stats is going to fight for what
he considers hiN rights, and indicates his
intentions in this note to the city coun-
Gil:
I'm accordance with my bid, dated Oc-
tober Oath 1896, for the purchase of a
franchise for the conducting of elec-
trical energy, etc, in the city of Los An
geles and inasmuch as the same was the
highest and best bid offered, I hereby
demand that said bid be accepted, and
the said franchise awarded to me.
II hereby tender full performance of
all things to be done by me under said
franchise, and hereby offer to pay the
full amount Of said purchase price, pro-
vided my bid therefor is accepted be-
fore the passage of any ordinance
awarding the same to me-

AS OTHERS SEE HIM.
Rev. James Bracewell Gives His Opin-
ion of DR.. T. Foo Yuen,


ONTARIO, California, Dec. Sth. 1896.
To the Public:
became acquainted with DR.. r. Foo
Yuen. the celebrated Chinese physician,
about three years ago. and in conversing
with him learned much of his methods
of diagnosing diseases and the medi-
cines he used in his practice. I was
much surprised to learn that his only
method of locating diseases in the hu-
man body, and the strength or virulence
of the disease, was by simply feeling the
pulse. So to satisfy myself and to re-
move all doubts in regard to the matter,
l put the doctor TO the test and found
that he exactly described my condition.
l also talked with several persons pres
ent who had been treated by him and
had been entirely cured OF diseases of
long standing or in fair way for COM
plete recovery. Those parties all ex-
pressed the utmost confidence in his
ability as skillful physician; in fact.
SO far as 1 could learn, all those cases
were chronic, difficult and unyielding.
where the ordinary means as employed
by our American doctors had utterly
failed to effect cure.
For the sake of suffering humanity in
the United States, where diseases are so
prevalent, I should be glad if DR.. Foo
would establish a medical college in this
country, where the Chinese system of
medicine as taught in the imperial med
ical college Of Pekin, China, could be
taught and thereby knowledge of the
ancient art of healing the sick could be
spread abroad in this country. Many
people are very much pretuddced against
the Chinese system Of medicine, and the
methods employed by Chinese physi-
clans. This 10 to be accounted for by the
