There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to be an honest, scientific prepare
ton, the only one OF its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
of physicians say it is, thousands of
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailing friend, and you
will say it is.

SUDDEN DEATH. - Mrs. Josephine
Brown, who has lived many years in
her residence ON Maple Park, and who
had until about fortnight ago en-.
joyed exceptionally good health, was
suddenly FRUSTRATED by peritonitis, and
died at st. Peters Hospital Saturday
morning about 2 o'clock. Mrs. B.
was born in Buffalo, N. Y, and was
46 years of age. She came to this
State Chen Territory when a mere
child, with her father, Eli Hathaway,
who settled with his family on WILDLY
Island. Her husband, D. NJ. Brown,
died several years ago, since which
time she lived alone, with the excep-
ton of innumerable pets, consisting Of
birds and quadrupeds, of which she
was exceedingly fond. In fact this
trait of character was so marked as to
excite general comment. She was
woman of warm heart, and the needy
never went empty handed from the
door. The funeral sermon was
preached in the NJ. E. Church Sunday
afternoon and interment was made in
Masonic cemetery.

AN EXHIBITION OF THE MARBLE
HEART.-One of our practicing physi-
clans, in making out the certificate
required by law of death of woman
noted for her love of pets, filled in the
blank of occupation of deceased with
the words, None-kept dogs" What
ever may have been the motive for the
use of these heartless words, it is quite
certain that if the milk of human
kindness ever coursed through the
veins of that cold-blooded sawbones, it
leaves not the slightest trace of its
presence. Can we wonder that the
poet wrote
"Alssi the rarity
OF Christian charity"
when such instances of thoughtless in
difference to human endeavor are man.
ifested? 1t is safe to say that if admis-
sion to the house of many mansions
beyond the grave should have to be
passed upon by finite judgment like
that, so devoid of mercy, so callous to
feeling, so devoid of the first impulses
of charity, heaven would indeed be
sparsely populated.

Does Secretary Alger believe the peo-
pie of the Pacific coast, and, for that
matter, of the United States to be blind
asses, that they cannot see through this
petty quibbling and ward politician
tricks?
This harbor question is fast becom-
ing national scandal. The administra-
ton is already involved. The hired man
Is, evidently, running the farm. Can
the administration hope to elect a Re-
publican Congress on the lines followed
by Mr.. Alger? The time has come, in my
opinion, for plain talk. 1t is time to let
our servants at Washington know that
this is not Russia, that the people are not
serfs; that when the representatives of
the people make laws, they must be
obeyed, and that no man or men, wnom
the same people have hired to transact
their business, shall set themselves up as
power unto themselves, to undo the
laws of Congress in behalf of personal
friends or corporations.
rs it Secretary Alger's desire. for
political purposes, to place the admin
istration in such an unenviable light
before the American people that one
term will be sufficient? The plan of
putting would-be Presidential timber
in the Cabinet, has always proved a
failure-but never to so great an extent
as in the case of Mr.. Alger.
What is to be done? In the lang
uage of the immortal Grant, We will
fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer No, not on these lines, or not
on past lines. our people have been too
modest hI- half \Na ha
war into Africa and l have no doubt
we shall find the niger in the wood
pile In fact, his curly locks are already
visible. The Free Harbor League still
lives, and its president, Col. H. G.. Otis,
comes from a fighting family-small
wonder that he was not wanted in the
Presidents official family. Mr.. Secre-
tary Alger was devilish cunning when
he objected to friend Of San Pedro
an honest man-being Assistant Secre-
tary of War. 1t would be interesting to
know whose influence placed Mr.. Alger
in the Cabinet.
Senator White is host in himself
for right. There is victory in organiza-
ton. Let every man in Southern Cali
fornia who believes in Justice send his
name in for membership in the Free
Harbor league. 1t needs your influence
and California needs the prosperity that
work on the San Pedro harbor guaran-
tees it. JOHN +. FRANCIS~
The suggestion made in a Herald edi-
torial Friday morning is meeting with
unanimous expressions of sympathy. All
the papers in Los Angeles signify their
desire for cooperation, and kilograms
from the San Francisco papers express
entire willingness to advertise for bids
and take their chances for future pay
ment.
A mass meeting will probably be called
in the near future at which resolutions
will be passed protesting against the
continued and persistent inaction in the
harbor matter.

KELLY'S ESCAPADES
Disgraced Here He Flies High for a
Time at Calusa

Chief Glass received letter yesterday
from the police authorities at Colusa.
asking for the local record of Ernest
Kelly, an erratic young swindler who
operated here in the summer of 1896
The desired information was supplied.
Kelly has been cutting a wide swath
in the social and business circles at
Colusa, where his polished manners and
smooth methods secured him entrance
to the functions of the upper ten. Last
week he skipped the town, leaving nu-
merous victims to mourn his departure
In addition to buncoing a trusting fe-
male out of $25 in cash, he had incurred
debts for dresses, hats, night gowns,
etc, for an alleged niece" He is also
suspected of purloinng valuable goods
from a dry goods firm by which he was
employed.
While in Los Angeles Kelly worked
several crooked schemes to get money
For a time he advertised in the want
columns of the local papers for lady
stenographers. He then stood his call
ers up for various sums as commission
for situations, which later proved ficti-
tious. He was arrested and charged
with petty larceny, but on his young
wife's account his sentence was made
only five days in the county Jail. The
faithful little woman paid back all the
girls whom her husband had swindled
Later the couple were divorced, and
Kelly left the city. He had not since
been heard from until his late escapade
at COlusa
