xeen,nr Pace with tho Times

We acknowledge with thanks an invi-
tation to attend an inspection OF the new
home of the Los Angeles Herald. at lSs
South Broadway, Los Angeles. last
Thursday afternoon from to and from
to 10. We regret that q pressure Of
business prevented our attendance. but
we wish to compliment The Herald upon
it's enterprise and forging ahead quail
ties in securing for itself such conven-
lent and commodious home. The Her

times and placing itself In the front

Fatal to the Monroe Doctrine

Hawaiian annexation will utterly
wreck the Monroe doctrine. We now as
sert the Monroe doctrine as the law of
the western world. If European nations
do not recognize the principle, they are
at least careful not to deny it formally
and officially. They are impatient Of it,
however, and would gladly make use of
the first fair opportunity to overset 1t
altogether by some deliberate and cal
culated defiance Of our pretensions.-

the need becomes manifest.
So. what are wanted now are toys and
some volunteer to receive them. Every
family with children in the house has
the former to spare. AS soon as proper

but don't forget to bring the heads and
arms also. Bring your broken carts
and jumping Jacks and dinner sets;
bring the pieces II possible. Bring the
choo-choo cars and the woolly dog and
the Noah's ark. And II, perchance, the
toy Is not broken at all and can be
spared, 1t will be just as acceptable to
the poor child as II 1t had been smashed
to pieces and mended again.
The children of the poor like toys just
as we'll as the more fortunate little
ones. A square meal Is all the Christ
mas" some Of them will get. Others, per-
haps in better circumstances. will re-
ceive presents. but from necessity they
will be of the useful sort. What The
Herald wishes to do is to provide toys
for children who otherwise will not get
them.
The toy repairer has volunteered his
services. AS soon as somebody volun-
teers to receive the toys, let the little
boys and girls, out Of their abundance,
provide for the less fortunate children,
that they. too. may have "a merry
Christmas"

WIRES CROSSED

The second mayor Of Leadville, in the
more turbulent and tempestuous days
of that phenomenal mining camp. was
Mr.. John #. Humphreys. the well-known
Broadway real estate owner and capi-
talist. He was a Democrat then as now,
and in the political campaign that
ended In his triumph the lines were
closely drawn. The battle was hotly
contested. party spirit ran high, and
many bitter antagonisms were engen-
dered. However. few Of these survived
the final engagement at the polls, and in
his efforts to give to the city prudent
administration Mr.. Humphreys had the
support of ell good citizens, including
many prominent men who had opposed
his election. The most discounted
man in town over his success was Tom
Collins, local rounder, who, although
Of the same political faith, yet opposed
him with vigor that almost approached
vindictiveness.

ing scarcely a trace OF ill-feeling. Re-
alizing that Collins did not want the in

promptly returned a reply which Col

TERROR or SEA AND AIR.
Com bined Torpedo Boat aud Aerial
Gum FOR attack.

s""ntheH s"rpeuo Boat "nd Acrtni
Gum Tor attack.
Experiments are now being tried
with view Of combining torpedo
boats and aerial machines in hos.
tile operations against ships or
forts. A boat has been designed
to dive under water ,and fire
torpedo into a battle-ship's hull.
The proposed aerial gun will send
a shell of explosives through the
air and drop it on an enemy's
deck or into fort. If the com
bination of these two machines
should prove successful the craft
will be the most wonderful en-
CINE of destruction in modern
warfare. The aerial gun is to be
placed in the bow, and will be
operated in this wise: At the
word of command her petroleum
fires are put out, the electric en-
gines started, the smok kestack and
air shaft drawn inside the vessel
and covered over. She IS made
to sink by admitting water to her
tanks.
AT the same moment two hori-
zontal rudders at the stem are
inclined upward, and the eighty
five.foot steel, cigar shaped craft
dives like a porpoise. She runs,
ordinarily, either three or thirty
feet under the surface, but is
built to stand the pressure of a
depth of seventy feet. She has a
constant tendency to rise, but is
kept below by the horizontal
rudder on the stern. Should she
accidentally sink, there are au-
tomato arrangements governed
by the outside water pressure that
empty the water tanks and COM
pei the vessel to rise to the sur
face. The effect of the fire of this
machine is the more appalling
because it can be delivered with
out giving the slightest sign to
the enemy.
When approaching an enemy
the vessel rises to within three
feet of the surface, and re-
volving looking-glass is raised
above the water. This reflects
down into the boat through a tube
all the surroundings. When the
range of hostile fort is obtained
the bow of the boat is allowed to
come on a level with the surface
of the water, barely exposing the
month. of the aerial gun. The
body of the gun is inside the boat.
Then pneumatic pressure sends a
load of destruction into the air
and down into the fort. The boat
drops back into the depths of the
sea, and the enemy cannot tell
whence the shot comes. There is
no smoke; nothing III sight but
few ripples on the water.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

close of each year, the makers in
order to get ready for the ensuing
year, offer the present 1896

provements for the coming season
we would say we anticipate none.
Such changes which may be made

THE KING OF BENIN SUBMITs.-A
dispatch from Lagos, West Africa says ;
The King of Benin, who surrendered
on August Is to the British authorities,
after wandering in the bush since the
capture of Benin City by the British in
February last, as result of the mas
sacre of an unarmed expedition under
Consul Phillips, entered Benin City,
preceded by messenger bearing white
flag and followed by eight hundred pn
armed blacks, ten chiefs, twenty wives
and reed band playing native music.
On August the acting political resi-
dents received the Kings obeisance 10
front of the palaver house. The King
was covered with coral ornaments, and
his arms were supported on each side
by natives. About 400 naked natives
and many chiefs formed circle about
the King. The latter at first expressed
desire to make his submission private
ly to the president, but the British re-
fused. and the King, after having con-
suited with his chiefs, made an obeisance
rubbing his forehead three times upon
the ground. Ten of his most important
chiefs did the same, and the ceremony
WAS concluded.

Correspondence Alexau udria Gazette ]


LURAY, Va, Aug. 21.-T. M. AL.
mond, one of the old citizsus and mer-
chants of Luray, but for some years
living in Lynchburg, met with his death
here on Saturday last in most unex-
pected and deplorable manner. MIR.
Almond, with bis wife, were on visit
to his old home for several weeks past,
and both were enjoying their trip
among their many relatives and friends.
Several days since Mr.. Almond had
gone to Skyland, summer resort on
the Blue Ridge near to the we'll known
point, the Stony Man. some seven
miles from Luray. On the day men
tioued Mr. Almond had started from
the hotel up to the Stony Man on
horseback, accompanied by a Miss
Printz, whose father lives close by, and
on their return large rattler crossed
the road and hid among the rocks close
by. Mr.. Almond got of his horse and
threw several rocks at the snake,
aud was looking for another, when
from some misstep or nervousness he
fell upon the ground and before he
could recover himself, was struck by
the snake twice on the left wrist close
to the knuckles. He tried to suck the
poison from the wound, going in the
meanwhile as fast as he could 10 the
hotel, upon reaching which whisky
was given him and medical aid render,
ed by physician visiting the hotel and
everything possible done to relieve
nim, but to no avail, for at II O'Clock
at night he died. He did not seem to
suffer severely, but the effects of the
venom rendered him numb and coma
tose. The arm was swollen to an in
credible size and seemed to become
soft and of dark color before death.
MIR. Almond was rs years old and was
unusually robust and vigorous for
MS age. He will be buried in
the cemetery here in the family lot.
Mr.. Almond was wellknown through
out the State; was popular aud had
many friends. His untimely death has
Cast a shadow over all this community.
He was q member of the Old School
Baptist Church and his visit here was
in part to attend the association now
being held on the Hawksbill.
D. T. Young. one Of our Oldest and
most popular citizens, died al his home
here on the 2lst. He had for some
wears suffered wit cancer on the face,
but during his sufferiugs he never lost
his genial sn lie and happy disposition.
He was the oldest Mason in Page and
will be buried by the order. Mr.. Young
was at one time man of great strength,
full of magnetic amiability and person
al magnetism, and his death will be felt
by his host of friends here and else
where.
