WATER AND CHARTER QUESTION
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her.
ald:-After a hard struggle the voters
succeeded in electing a mayor and ma
jority of the council In favor Of q peo-
pies water system, with pure, cheap
water.
The new charter, of adopted, will 60
into effect just a few months previous
to the time when action in the water
question must be taken. The present
officials Will go out and new mayor
and new councilmen will be elected Are
the people ready to surrender all they
have gained in the recent contest and
oust Mayor Snyder, who is pledged on
this question? I seriously doubt the
wisdom Of any such action. Could we
replace him with any assurance Of secur-
ing man who will stand UP on this
question?
Is there any assurance Of the election
Of even as safe a council as the present
one? We are reasonably sure that
majority of this council, three Democrats
and enough of the other party are ready
to carry the peoples will.
Shall we resort to experiment? We
want the water question settled in favor
of the people. Our present officials are
pledged to favorab BILE action Will those
elected under the new charter be az
safe? I opne not.

Morgantown Post suggests Dr. l. G..
White as the gentleman to succeed
Mr.. Dayton in Congress. From 9th
er sources we learn that the Hon.
George c. Sturgiss would like to
wear the Barbour statesman's shoes,
and Attorney Frank Cox's friends
say they will fit him better than
they would either of the others.
From the Eastern Panhandle comes
the word that the brilliant Prosecu-
ting Attorney of Berkeley-Ulysses
Grant Pitzer-would as soon 90 to
Congress as to continue the practice
of law 1t is understood that Mr..
Dayton will not be in the race. He
has said he will not ask for renom-
nation, but that if the party again
names him as it's standard bearer he
will make the fight, as usual. 1t is
our opinion that the man who gets
the nomination will not only have to
ask for it but work for it as though
his life were at stake.

A High FLYER.

Salem Ills. has another Coal Oil John.
ny in full blast. The local paper of that
town tells this of his history:
James Berry a young man who tramped
into this city last fall, received notice a
month ago that he had inherited for
tune estimated at s5O0OOO by the death
of an uncle in Pennsylvania. He made
proof of his identity and got the money.
Since then his career has rivaled that of
Coal Oil Johnny. Last Wednesday he
married the daughter of his former en-
ployer here and threw money to the wind
Yesterday he was arrested for fast driv-
ing. He was taken before Justice Mar
shall who performed his $50 marriage GER
mony, And was fined sG and costs.
Early in the morning he had his $4,000
horse hitched to a light buggy and be-
gan to take in tho town. 10 boy he
gave 81 for picking up a glove; to a tramp
81 for tipping his hat to him. He visited
the saloons number of times. In his
glass he would drop a SIS Or $40 gold piece;
drink the liquor and then hand the glass
containing tho money to the barkeoper.
At the hotel he would give dollar for
for drink of water; another dollar for
the brushing of his silk hat; another to
the porter for blacking his shoes; 81 for
an extra napkin at the table; And still
another for toothpck. He paid fancy
prices for flowers to be used in decorating
his hores. Berry says that when he gets
through with his present jollitication, as
he calls it, his wife and lie will take a
trip to Europe and visit all the great
cities of the old world. when he will re-
turn to the United States, settle dowr
and be man. During the last twenty
four hours here ho has expended pro
badly $1,000.

they decided to give her surprise.
Preparations were quickly made and at
8 o'clock party of fully fifty led by Mr..
Carpenter, went to the house and walked
in on Grandma. To say that the surprise
was complete would be putting it mild

tended to Grandma on having reached
the S0th milestone of life, she was pre-
senled with handsome bouquet of cut
flowers as slight token of esteem by
her friends. The crowd being comfort.
ably settled in the spacious rooms of Mr..
Carpenters neat home, all proceeded to
enjoy really sociable evening. but a
surprise was in store for the guests as
we'll as for Grandma, and at 10 o'clock
an elegant lunch of Strawberries, cake,
etc. was set before the guests. The
party left for their homes about II
o'clock wishing Grandma many happy
returns of the day, and, although 50
summers have passed over her head, she
is in good health and bids fair to see a

Steel Vaults for Silver at New York Sub.
Treasury Almost Completed.
Work on the new steel vault for the
storage of silver coin in the basement
of the United States subtreasury in
Wall street is progressing rapidly, and
the contractor expects to have it ready
for use in about two weeks. There ara
now 50,O00,OOO silver dollars and mora
than $5,0O0,0O0 in subsidiary silver coin
stored in the subtreasury basement,
and the necessity for additional vault
room has of late become pressing.
The new vault is a box ~ feet squars
and ten feet high, made of steel plates
two inches thick. 1t is firmly set in
the corridor adjoining the old steel
vault, and it will hold about 5000, 900
in silver coin. Inasmuch rs there ia
comparatively little silver coinage go.
ing on in this country at present, it is
not expected that the new vault will fill
up very rapidly.
The silver dollars that are now iu
storage, however, are likely to remain
there indefinitely. The experience OF
many years has proved that it is impos.
sible to keep them in circulation. From
time to time n few thousand dollars arc
withdrawn by private persons for some
specific reason, but they soon find their
way back into the subtreasury vaults
Even the banks which have strong and
capacious vaults of their own are aversc
to giving storage room to the cart
wheels"

people by the following story, told in
good faith to Pioneer Press man yes
terday: Not long ago there was sta
tion on our line called Lytle, which we
have since closed. Our trains stopped
there only on a flag. Well, one day a
heavy passenger train came laundering
along, and behold, flag hung up at the
little jerk water station. The train
stopped and a solemn young chap step
ped up leisurly to the postal car and
handed the clerk letter. Hustle up,
there, and get on, shouted the conduc
tor, who knew the train had to make up
little time. I'm not going on the train
Just wanted to mail that letter. coolly
replied the pedestrian as he fell in posi-
tion behind the train to do the tic act
Whether that incident was the immedi
ate cause of closing Lytle the records do

Franz Czouka and His Companions Re-
garded as Heroes by Hungarians.
Franz Czoulsa, who has just been ex-
ecuted at Essegg, in Hungary, was q
remarkable criminal. He belonged to
the Rosz;I Sanders band, which was re-
garded MS romantic heroes by the COM
mon people. The women idolized Rosza
and he had judges and magistrates in
his pay. He was the best horseman in
Hungary and managed many bands of
briglnds whose work never conhicted.
Twenty-Five years ago he and Czouka
were captured and charged with many
murders and robberies. Czoulza said he
was willing to confess to the murders
and robberies were too trifling to talk
about. He was given 20 years. The
leader was sentenced for life and died
in prison.
Ten years ago Czouka, who had served
his time, resumed his vicious career and
committed an especially atrocious mur.
der, for which he was hanged. He was
"a years of age, of gigantic stature and
great strength. He walked to the gall
lows with n jaunty air, smoking pipe
He tapped the hangman on the shoulder

cIRcUMvENTED THEIR CHIEF.
Defense of Two Washington "Cops" Wht
Had Silent on Their Beafs.

Defense of Two Washington "Cops" Who
Had Slept on Their Beats.
One of Roosevelt's many funny ex-
periences with New York policemen re.
calls a story often told Of Inspector
Pearson, whose noiseless galoshes were
long the terror of Washington "cops."
While walking in one of the streets o2
Georgetown about IL years ago, says the
Washington Post, Inspector Pearson
came upon two police officers sitting on
the doorstep Of a private residence, OBJ
fvious to the goings on in their beats.
Pearson quietly took the number of the
house, and had the deliquents hauled
before the trial board for neglect of
duty. Ordinarily there would have
been little hope for men in their posi-
tion, but they were rcsourceful. With
the consent OF the occupants they em-
ployed a carpenter to remove the steps
from the house and place them in trout
of the next residence. Then, as a de-
fense, they stated that there were no
steps in front of the house where the
inspector declared he had seen them sit
ting. The trial board visited the place
in a body, found that the officers state
ment was true, and dismissed the case,
to the great surprise of Inspector Pear
son. Some years afterward he heard Of
the trick and declared it the best that
had ever been played upon him.

Cleveland. O.. juno Sat noon Mon
day the entire plant of the Standard
Oil works in this city shut down for an
endctinite period. The foreman told
the men that there would be 10 work
for weeks and may be much longer
time. The men believe that during that
time another section of the plant will
be abandoned, carrying out the Stand
ards policy of making in this city only
enough oil and other products to sup.
ply the home demand. Close to 1000
men are thrown out of work by the shut
down. 1t is said that the Standard has
an immense stock on hand in the Kings
bury Run warehouse, enough in fact
to supply all the demand in this district
until January l. 1898, or longer.
