WORK OF THE PRESIDENT.
Drudgery of the Chief Executive OF
the Nation.

A president who should not carry
into the white house a relish for drudg-
erv, business habits of the incest dis
elimination, and a constitution of iron,
would be president only in name, even
as regards his more important duties.
His signature on the papers which he
is told will not otherwise be legal might
be as good as the custodian of his bank
account would require, but within the
meaning of the law it would be as often
as not moral forgery. Yet no COM
plant should be offered on this account.
Presidents are made for better or for
worse. Such as they are in natural
faculties and strength, so they must
serve-some of them leaning on official
advisers and bureaucratic clerks in every
step they take: and some of them put
ting the stamp Of their own individuali-
ty on the papers and acts which make
up an administration.
When president-elect, facing the
chief justice, has repeated the constitu-
tional oath: Il do solemnly swear hiatt
will faithfully execute the office Of
president of the United States, and will
to the best of my ability, preserve, pro-
tact, and defend the constitution of tho
United States" he has in3entured him
self for four years of the heaviest servi
tude that ever fell to the lot of anu
mortal, By comparison the "hired
man" talked about in the last canvass
would lead pampered existence, and {;
constitutional monarch is a man O.
leisure. A president equal to his oatl
is both king and premier; he reigns ant
he rules; he is bowed down by the
crown of authority and is encompassej
| by the mantle of careDC. c. Buel, il

A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police Of Syracuse Make an Inn
portant Capture.

On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, n. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
Y, on warrant sworn out by the DR.. Will
liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry On the 18th of December Marqulsee
visited photo-engraver in Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative OF the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged tor the
making of full set of plates for the dlr rec,
ton sheets, labels, ETC., of the famous d.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc,
found in Marquisee' trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and IN
search of his apartments in Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge, charcoal furnace, and several plas-
shals want him just as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for long pc
Rod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine ousi
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita
tions at discount of from2 per cent. to pei
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
| lots and at discount from dealers who were
| overstocked. By working fast and making
| long jumps, he would have secured many
| hundreds of dollars in short time. The
| proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be
fore he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the market

Of Sales nade
Tho mast week has seen marked dis
uosition on the part of owners OF lands
suitable for subdivision to cut up the
lands aud put them on the market The
largest deal during the week was that
whereby Clark & Bryan of this city
and Hiram Mabery of San Jose be-
came the purchasers OF thirty-tour
acres OF land at the corner OF Hoover ana
Pico streets, for the purpose of imme-
date Improvement and sale.
Mr.. Mabery has left the entire man
agement Of the property in the hands
of his partners, Messrs Clark & Bryan,
who will at once subdivide the property
into lots and blocks. The lots VIII be
5Ox15O feet in size to an alley.
Clark G. Bryan will endeavor to make
this their crowning success, both in
point OF beauty and pleasant surround
ings, and proposes to spare no effort or
expense which will add to the attract
ivenoss of the tract to purchasers. IL
will be graded, graveled, sidewalked,
etc, prior to it's Introduction to the pur-
chasing public. This firm have closed
out all the lots in the five tracts whlch
they have handled, viz: the Bonnie
Brae, South Bonnie Brae, West Bonnie
Brae, ard Clark & Bryan's San Pedro
street tracts. The character OF the
neighborhood in these tracts indicates
what may be expected from the new
one. 1t will be known as our Plco

available for residence purposes upon
the completion of a contract made on
Tuesday between o. T. johnson ana M.
G. McKoon ard T. H. Reynolds, by
which blocks and 4 of the Washington
tract are to be graded. The lands en-
braced in the contract lie between Fig
ueroa and Bixel streets and Fourth and
Fifth streets, which latter in that vi
cinity are separated by Maryland street.
The land averages very well, but Is cut
through the middle by a very deep
gully. while the remainder of the lots
are rather inaccessibly high. When the
hills shall have been dumped into the
valleys, something like thirty very de-
sira BILE lots will result, and the owners
consider $4,000 reasonable sum to pro-
duce that result. This is the first real
step toward bringing into the market
the elegant property which mas for
years lain unoccupied while people wait
ed for the opening of Sixth street and
the Improvement Of streets opening into
Sixth in the region of its intersection
with Figueroa. Work on the big street
contract Is progressing well, and will
be completed about the first Of May.

lots about the middle of next month.
