In speaking of the physical endur-
ance which is required Of bakers as q
class, Mr.. Louis Coppols, Of s69 Har-
ward street, San Francisco, took o.
casion to say that many Of them break
down under the severe strain Of their
work. The most vital point Of endur-
ance is the back. The men have 70
bend over the long troughs in which
the dough is mixed. The work is COM
paratively light until the dough begins
to thicken, but then IL becomes a con-
tinuous process Of lifting and throw
ing the heavy mass in a trough con-
tanning three hundred or four hundred
pounds of dough. It nessitates the
employment Of almost herculean
strength to properly mix the dough.

WORK OF THE POSTOFF|CE
Statistics Proving Efficiency and
Correctness
A MILLION MORE PIECES
Handled During the Fiscal Year Just
Closed
Letter In Every Eight THOUSAND Wrong
Iy Distributed or Delayed

The congested state of the present post
office building, the lack of room for the
proper discharge Of duties, have motor
iously proved a serious handicap to the
efficient work of the department. In
view of such disadvantages, it is both
instructive and gratifying to be able to
show by indisputable statistics that the
staff of the postoffice are comparatively
rarely guilty Of error; indeed 1t is won
derful that, laboring under such disad-
vantages as they do, clerks are able to
do such satisfactory work The sta
tistics for the fiscal year ending June
30th are just to hand, and prove that de-
spite the numerous complaints the Los
Angeles postoffice authorities more than
hold their own in efficiency and dispatch
in their duties. The system of recipro-
cal checking by postal clerks is so per-
feet that it is almost impossible for an
error to go by unrecorded.
or Outgoing mali during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1885, the number OF
pieces handled was 1880, 900; for the
year just closed that number has been
increased by over million pieces, and
is shown to have been 24,590,000 The
number of errors made in the Los Ange-
les postoffice in 1896 was 2SS7; in 1896,
the much larger amount of mail hand
led. The number of errors against en-
ployes Of other offices handling Los An
geles mail checked in this postoffice,
during 1895, was 1884, which has grown
to the formidable figure of 1,246 during
the last twelvemonth. These statis-
tics supply double proofs; not only of
the superior efficiency of Los Angeles
employees, but also of their watchful eye
over the errors of their colleagues.
The proportionate number of pieces of
first-class matter correctly distributed
by the Los Angeles office was, in 1895,
5715 to every one mistake, and in 1896
7443 to every mistake, i. e., for every
7443 pieces correctly and promptly de-
livered one was delayed. In handling
another class of matter one mistake was
made in 1895 to every 1924 pieces dis
tributed in 1896, one in every 1869.
The percentage then of correct distri-
button of first-class matter in 1895 was
999S, and in 1896 was 99.9S 2-3; of all
other classes in 1895, SO 99100, and the
same percentage stands for the year
just closed.
The total number of pouches and
sacks handled in 1895 was $685. in
1896, 366,670.
The increase of business is shown in
yet another branch of the postoffice the
receipts for the quarter ending June 30th
were $44 0SS.37; for the same period dur
ing 1895, they were S42, 4S889, showing
an increase of $780, all but So cents in
three months business.

SUICIDE BY LAUDANUM
August Ushman Expires at the Soldiers Home
by His Own Hand

by His Own Hand
Coroner Campbell went to the Soldiers
Home yesterday morning and held an
inquest on the body Of August Ushman,
SO years old, who was found dead in his
bed in the morning.
The evidence adduced showed that
Ushman, a member of the Company A
of the home, had left the hospital where
he was under medical treatment on last
Wednesday afternoon, and had gone to
Santa Monica. There he drank some
liquor, but not enough to intoxicate him,
and late in the evening, after procuring
a twO-ounce bottle of laudanum from a
drug store, he returned to the home
He procured the laudanum ostensibly
to ease his pain, and on the label of the
bottle it was plainly stated that ten
drops was a dose. When Ushman got
back he was not allowed to return to
the hospital, but ordered to his company
quarters. He demurred at going, but
finally obeyed. There was no suspicion
Of inebriety about him, but he seemed
morose.
Shortly after taps had been sounded
and all the inmates of the dormitory
had gone to bed one of his companions
saw Ushman raise up in bed and drain
the contents of bottle, letting the
empty flask fall to the floor. Nothing
particular was thought of this, and all
went to sleep. In the morning Ush-
man lay in bed corpse. The empty
bottle lay alongside of his cot where it
had dropped from his hand.
A verdict of suicide by laudanum pois-
oning was returned by the jury in ac-
cordance with the established facts.
Ushman left no note or word to explain
his action, but the cause was probably
melancholy.

CATALINA ISLAND LANDING
Feeling Aroused Over Questionable Attemp,
to Put Passengers Ashore

10 Put passengers Ashore
Ten days or so ago boat other than
the Wilmington Transportation vessels,
attempted to land passengers at the
wharf at Avalon. The action was OPP
posed by the company owning the island.
This aroused differing views on the part
Of many. Some rushed into print, or
tried to do SO. venting their indignation
at the refusal on the part of the COM
pany to allow passengers to land from
any boat that might come along. Others
took the view that the company owning
the property had right to refuse land
ing privileges to any one that 1t chose
should keep off shore, just as good
right, indeed, as the owner of an i'm
proved city lot would have in prevent
ing trespass on or over a front or rear
yard. Still others justified the action
of the company by stating that the
crowd was an unsavory one and alto
gether undesirable as visitants. And
now comes a report to the effect that
ways and means are being devised to
allow all and any who may wish to land
on Catalina to do so
Regarding this Capt. Banning is stated
to have said that while he and the othey
associated with him had discussed the
matter no definite conclusion had been
reached. One thing was certain, how
ever, if the company was forced to open
the place to other boats, the Bannings
would withdraw and build another town
on the island, probably at Whites land
ing. The reason for this removal would
be that the revenue from the boats was
required to maintain the town. In addi-
ton, the other lines would cut the rates,
and this would result i'm an undesirable
clQcc Of ~ tho island
few lots are held by private parties. and
they can If they desire condemn a right
of way to the water, thus enabling all
boats to land passengers. Capt. Banning
said that whether his company would re-
move depended entirely on these people.
Nothing will be done, however, this sea-
son, for If suit is brought for right of
way for a street it will be fought and
STAYED off until fall. Practically every
thing except the Hotel Metropole and
the pavilion can be removed, Capt Ban
ming thought.

EVA FORESTS FUNERAL
The BODY Of the Unfortunate Girl Laid Away
In the Earth

The body of Eva Forest, alias Rhea
Reene, who committed suicide on Tues
day, in a house of ill-repute on March
assault street, was committed to the
earth yesterday, the funeral taking
place from the chapel of r. L. Carrots
undertaking parlors. Rev. D. w. Bart
lett, pastor of Bethlehem church, per-
formed the last services for the dead.
There was number of elegant floral
offerings sent in by the friends and COM
panions of the dead girl. A large at
tendance of the half world was present,
a number of whom accompanied the re-
mains to Evergreen cemetery whe<e
they were inferred.
A telegram was received just before
the funeral from the girls parents, who
reside at Puyallup, Wash, asking that
the body be sent to Tacoma, but stat
ing that they were financially unable
to stand any great expense. Rose
Mitchell proprietress of the house in
which Eva died, will settle all bills for
physicians services, and offered to con-
tribute half toward the funeral. This
last was not needed, as w. S. Forest and
wife of this city, who have known the
deceased for the past five years, de-
frayed all the burial charges. Mr.. Forest
is not related to the deceased, but knew
her when she and her sister sang on
the vaudeville stage in the National
theater at Tacoma. Rather than see
the poor girl fill a lot in the potter's field
he and his wife saw to it that she re-
ceived Christian burial.
