DEATH OF MANASSEH SLEEPER.

Manasseh Sleeper, aged "a years, who
came to California in 1S49, and who has
resided in this State ever since, died
Tuesday night at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. w. j. Wallis, POS East
Pico street.
Mr.. Sleeper served in the army dur
ing the Mexican war and after its close
was mustered out at St. Louis. At
tracted by the marvellous stories OF rich
gold mines to be found in California, he
set out on foot for the land of promise,
coming by way of Mexico and Warmers
ranch, and arrived in Los Angeles
March 2s, 1s49. The city at that time
consisted of nothing more than the old
Spanish pueblo and little cluster of
adobe houses around the Old Plaza
Church.
After remaining here three months
Mr.. Sleeper and his companions set out,
again on foot, for the north, walking to
Monterey, to San Francisco, and finally
to Siskiyou county, settling at Yreka.
Here Mr. Sleeper engaged in mining
and in merchandising, remaining until
eleven years ago, when he returned to
Los Angeles.
The cause of Mr.. Sleeper's death was
old age and he had been ill but three
weeks. His body will be taken to Yreka
for burial.
He is survived by two sons and a
daughter. One of the. sons lives at Sac
ramento and the othef0 Santa Barbara.
Mrs. Edna L. Wallis of Los Angeles is
the daughter. Mrs. Sleeper died at
Yreka about twenty years ago.-Los

FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL CON-
DITIONS.

Leslie NJ. Shaw, formerly secretary
of the treasury, now president of the
Carnegie Trust Company, has authOriZ-
ed the following interview on the pres
ent financial and industrial conditions:
"Our farms produce more than So, $780,
100000 per annum and the prospect is
good for an average crop. Our mines
yield more than $1,5O0,O00,0OO and our
forests more than 81, 900, 100000. And
neither of these sources of wealth has
been exhausted.
"The output of our factories, in other
than food products, is approximately
S12, 900, 900, 900, and no fires have been
extinguished. The railways earn more
than $4,000, 100000 and they are all in
successful operation. The payrolls of
our factories and railways aggregate
approximately SO, 100000 and the
scale of wages has not been reduced.
In other words the real sources of the
peoples wealth have not yet been af-
fected and the ability of industrial con-
Germs to pay dividends is not measured
by the market price of their stocks.
Logical reasons for serious conditions
are therefore wanting. Psychological
reasons are never wanting.
eff l judge correctly, the people will
have exactly what they expect. If those
who have money in the banks with
draw it and lock it up; if the banks re-
fuse to grant accommodations, and if
the consuming public decline to place
orders, then we will very soon witness
the effect.
"Let those who think that times of
disaster follow each other at regular
intervals, hear in mind that this cOun-
try has never yet experienced period
of severe depression that was not trace
able to financial or economic agitation
or legislation, and usually to both.
SIN 1898 the redemption of green
backs in silver instead of gold was
openly advocated; the party in power
was under promise to remove the pro-
tective tariff from our industries and
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to / was championed by promi-
; nent members of both parties.
"The country might have survived
any one of these sources of alarm, but
it could not survive all three.
cat this time no one questions our
financial system and the tariff will not
be touched for at least IS months.
"Some check in the speed at which
we are going is most desirable and the
checking process has probably begun.
1t will but require fair measure OF
confidence and courage to prevent I'M
due retardment in our industries. Capt.
tai cannot be forced into activity but 1t
can be forced out of activity. L have
never seen the time when universe!
sanity was more essential to our well
being"
