Sea-sickness on Shore.

Condolences are among the oldest
things in life. The other day tried
to dine at q restaurant where they
had q lot of fan things hanging from
the ceiling and swinging slowly back
and forth to keep the air and the flies
moving. The fans, all gilt and glitter,
kept up their long swell motion SO
steadily that soon | felt that was on
board ship and without an appetite
for food, and the feeling SO grew upon
me that finally, to avoid an unseemly
exhibition, was forced to make my
exit to terra firma and fresh air.

even keel came pop upon q full page

The Hurnan-Faced Crab.

One of the most singular-looking crea-
lures that ever walked the earth, says
DIR. Shiesof, is the famous man-faced
crab of Japan. Its body is hardly an
inch in length, yet the head is fitted with
a face which is the perfect counterpart
of that of a Chinese coolie-with eyes,
nose and mouth all clearly defined. This
ness it bears to a human being in the
face, is provided with two legs, which
seem TO grow from the top of it's head
and hang down over the sides of it's
face. Besides these legs, two feelers,
each about an inch in length, grow
from the chin of the animal, looking for
all the world like forked beard. These
man-faced crabs literally swarm in the
waters of the inland seas of Japan

The Terrible Ordeal of Mothcr-Her
Little Girl Almost Faded Away
Saved in the Nick of Time-A Story
that Will Touch the Heart of Every
Mother.
From the Journal. Detroit Mich.
A very grateful mother is Mrs. A. l..
Hartness, of 676 Grandy avenue, Detroit,
for the wonderful cure which her dauGh-
ter has received by the use of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. Said Mrs. Hartness:
''Yes, my daughters life has been saved
by using Pink Pills, thanks to kind
friend who recommended them to me.
blanche was sick for over three years.
She had the care of the best physicians
procurable, and no expense or trouble was
spared to give her relief. She was so
thin that she was fairly skin and bones.
her digestion was out of order and she mad
the most awful headaches. We gave up
all hope of her recovery. Her long, thin,
listless face made me nearly crazy, and
we did everything in our power to give
her strength and induce her to take an IN
terest in anything.
Zone day friend told me about Pink
Pills, and Mr.. HARNESS went down town
and got three boxes. She had taken about
one box, when, to my amazement, OnS
morning heard her playing on the piano.
I could hardly believe it, for 1T had been
over year since the piano had been open
ed.
''Soon she began to take short rides ON
her bicycle, and soon she went singing
around the house, our own happy, hearty
little daughter once more.
''She thinks nothing of a spin on her
wheel over to Mt. Clemens or Pontiac, and
is as we'll as she ever was.
II had girl living at our house who was
great sufferer from impoverished blood,
and who received instant and permanent
relief from the use of one box of the pills.
IF this information can be of any use
to help some poor sick one, it is given with
the greatest Of pleasure"
The proprietors of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills state that they are not patent med
icine, but prescription used for many
years by an eminent practitioner who pro-
duced the most wonderful results with
them, curing all forms of weakness arising
from a watery condition of the blood or
shattered nerves, two fruitful causes OK
almost every i'll to which flesh is heir. The
pills are also specific for the troubles
peculiar to females; effect permanent
cure in all cases arising from mental wor-
ry, overwork, or excesses of whatever ma
ture. They are entirely harmless and can
be given to weak and sickly children with
the greatest good and without the slight
est danger. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent post paid on re-

RALLY FOR BRYAN AND
SEWALL

Tonight the Democrats Of Los Ange-
les and vicinity will assemble to formal
Iy express their appreciation of the work
performed by the national Democratic
convention which convened in Chicago
on the seventh day of this month, and to
pledge their support to the ticket that
convention placed in the field. The indi-
cations are plenty that this ratification
function will be the most largely attend
ed and the most enthusiastic ever held
in this city. The spirit of a revived and
aggressive Democracy is abroad in the
land and it will manifest itself here in
way full of glorious promise to the
cause of Bryan and Sewall and the
masses, and fraught with dismal fore
bodings to the program of Mckinley and
Hobart ana the classes.
The local ratification of the nomina-
ton of Bryan and Sewall will be, as in
other parts of the country, more popular
than partisan. To the standard of De-
mocracy is rallying by tens of thousands
the voters of other political organiza-
tions. and here, as elsewhere, the host
of the party of jefferson will be aug
mented by multitude of voters who see
In the triumph of Bryan and sewall the
only hope of rescue from the monopo-
listic greed and class tyranny for which
the combination of Hanna, Mckinley
and Hobart stands. The ticket fathered
by a partisan convention has already.

1t is the duty of every voter who be-
lieves in the predonlinance of the will
of the masses, of every subscriber to the
doctrine of equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none" Of every op-
ponent of a government by the agents
of trusts, monopolies and tariff and
bounty beneficiaries, for the interests
which employ or control them, to assist

An Explanation

A subscriber wishes to correct'a mis-
take in your issue of the 18th instant. Mr..
Hersey Of the Boston dry goods store
states that he was up in the mountains
hunting, and found a negro girl alone
with her dead mother. Mr.. Hersey was
there and talked with two ladies.
Mrs. Ballard was colored woman but
was we'll respected by the neighbors, and
they paid her a great deal of attention
in her last illness. having watchers with
her both day and night, and two ladies
sat up with her the night before she
died. After her death they gave her a
respectable Christian burial, and some
of the ladies brought beautiful floral Of
ferings to put on the grave. For corrob-
Grafton of my statement I refer you to
the Rev. Mr.. Ainsworth of the Simi, who
officiafed at the funeral.
If that Boston dry goods store man
goes out hunting again very soon, he
should go to some other place than the
Canejo. as the women up there are on the
warpath, and he will probably have a
story more sensational, and with more
foundation, when he returns. T. G.

the desperate expedient of raising cam
paign of passion and revolution; and the
Chicago platform Is the outcome of that
daring scheme. Probably. few will be
more surprised at that outcome than the
very people whom these delegates We're
chosen to represent. No doubt many Of
the farmers and planters will be cap
tured by program appealing so f1atter-
ingly to their cupidity; but II may surely
be safely assumed that there Is much
larger proportion who Will resent the
gross imputation upon their loyalty and
good citizenship which this platform
casts In their faces For one, I am far
from being able to admit that this union
is made up of men who thus suddenly
can be tempted into traitorship to Its
sacred bonds. 1 have too much conf
dence in the morals of Americans and
i'm their faithfulness to their flag to be-
lieve that they can be thus misled. until
their own votes have openly convicted
them of lack of fealty.
From these views l. am led to suspect
that the Importance of the Chicago plat
form as an element of disturbance has.
for the present at least been exaggera-
ted beyond all true occasion. The pop
ular excitement, however, runs high,
and there is no saying to what lengths
of excess it may be carried by election
eering expedients during the next three
months. The greater the excitement,
however, the greater the reaction when
the moment arrives for citizens weigh
ing the practical effect of their votes i'm
mediately before election day When
that test comes, the conservative ele-
ment of our people will assert itself; and
1t will be contrary to all experience If
the verdict is not given in behalf of the
safest policy.
For those, therefore, interested in Sc
curities the true policy at present is to
follow a cautious and conservative
course pending conditions of political ex-
element At the moment the condition
of Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt's health has
a depressing effect; but all the immedi-
ate adverse factors of the moment have
apparently been discounted; and the
probabilities just now seem to favor a
recovery of prices rather than a further
decline

Editor Herald: Otis tactics in defam-
ing the Democratic candidates name
for the presidency is only hurting Ne
kinley. Referring to MIR. Bryan as the
BILLY Boy" and putting an o before his
name only disgusts voters who have not
made up their minds as to how they
would vote. I'm a Republican and
silver man, but had not until this morn
ing decided to vote for Bryan. The
Times editorials are making votes for
Bryan. Let the old dyspeptic who con-
trolls the First street sheet keep up his
good work for Mr.. Bryan. The people
are sick of Otis and his way of lying and
defaming people. II. G. Otis won't con-
troll the federal patronage in Southern
California with the assistance of my
vote, and 1t is the sentiment of hundreds
of Republicans and in consequence Nc
Kinley will lose many votes that he
would otherwise get if the sorehead ed
itor of the Times did not have charge of
McKinley's interests in this section. 1t
is safe to say that Bryan will
carry Los Angeles county by at
least 5000, and If there was an Otis in
every county of the state Mckinley
would lose California by 100000 votes.
The silver Bryan parade this evening
will make old Otis sick. He calls all vot-
ers who will cast their ballots for Bryan
anarchists and crazy. He will find about
10, 900 of these marching for Bryan on
the evening named, and there you are.

A Strange Communication

Editor Herald: On Tuesday, Novem-
ber 3. 1888. the American revolutionary
army was disbanded and General WASH
ington bid fearful farewell to his dear
old soldiers.
And now, after a lapse of 113 years,
theosophic message has just been re-
ceived from 1.-The father of his country,
stating that on Tuesday, November 3,
1896, a mighty wave Will sweep over the
United States, extending from Maine 10
Florida, and from the Atlantic TO the
Pacific-not wave of water or of wind,
but wave of intelligent sober thought,
which is intended, he says, to avert an
impending revolution. And those who
are playing hide and seek and all other
nefarious schemes calculated to defraud
and rob the people, and destroy the
government framed by him and his i'm
mortal compeers. will be relegated TO the
shades of oblivion and their names be
blotted out forever from the councils of
honest men and patriots.
In regard to events, nothing can hap
pen without a cause, and it is admitted
by the most learned scientists that the
planets exert a very great controlling
influence on our earth. And if this is
so, ther it would be reasonable to sup
pose that their influence may have some
thing to do in the deliberations of the
councils of men. And allowing such TO
be true. ard we know of no good rea
son why it is not, the horoscope cast for
Mr. Bryan on the 10 inst. is surely most
propitious for him and the party that
has nominated him for president.
The coincidence. too, of the disband-
ment of the revolutionary army in 1873,
and the presidential election of 1896 oc-
curing on the same day of the week and
month. though 113 years apart. may
mean something that would require the
astute Madam Blavatsky herself to ex-
plain.

The Public Library

The Herald editorially calls public at
tention once more to the increasing
needs of the public library and strongly
recommends Its removal from the rank

approach to it," The library long since
outgrew its present cramped accommo-
dations in the city hail. whose steps and
corridors are not the sort of gauntlet
for library patrons. especially ladies and
young girls. to be forced to rum" The
Herald endorses the selection of the
Spring street publi0school site as admir-
ably adapted for library building.
This is in accordance with recommend
alton made by the former board of IL
brary directors in one of the annual re-
ports. and is we'll worthy of attention.

The Herald takes it's stand beside the
gallant young Nebraskan, William J.
Bryan, the most eloquent of Democratic
defenders of the faith, and the idol Of the
west. He will be the next president of

Here is a size-up of Mckinley and what
ie stands Tor, from the St Louis Re
public, that fits without a wrinkle:
Mckinley is mortgaged to special in
terests as no other candidate for the
presidency has ever been. In 1890 his
only function was to sit and bow assent
to every claim filed by campaign con-
tributers. This time he is personally in
terested and personally bound. His
election would be followed by carnival
of plunder by the utmost stretching of
federal powers into state and local af-
fairs; by rough-riding interference with
ballot liberty and property"
