A PUBLICLY BRANDED LIAR. A newspaper styling itself the Plain Dealer was circulated about the streets on Friday afternoon, containing a scurrilous reference to the editor of this paper, and attempting to impugn the standing of this journal in the community. It sought by imputation to create the impression that we had said or done something years ago to deter Mr. Clark, of the Alamitos sugar factory, from erecting a sugar factory at or near Anaheim, when that gentleman was said to have had that project in contemplation, some years ago. The names of H. C. Gade and Gus Strodthoff of this city and Mr. Clark of Alamitos were advanced as offering testimony to that effect, and statements from the two first named gentlemen were given having that end in view. Stripped of its scurrility, in which the editor of the Plain Dealer seems to be an adept, the statement was made that Mr. Gade had said to us, in a "public place in this town," "at the time gentlemen were straining every nerve to get Mr. Clark to locate his sugar plant here," the following: "You have driven the sugar plant away from here. Your paper is responsible for it." The reference to Mr. Strodthoff is as follows: There is another gentleman, in fact there are a number of them to whom we can refer, and possibly may, in the sweet by-and-by, who give pretty substantial evidence—evidence that will go among honest men in this community, that our esteemed contemporary was the cause for the abandonment of Anaheim as a site for the sugar plant by Mr. Clark. This gentleman's name is Augustus Strodthoff, who is in the employ of Mr. Clark. He gets it direct from the fountain head. The testimony of Mr. Clark himself to the same effect is within easy reach. It is rather an unpleasant duty to deal with people of the Plain Dealer stripe; but the situation seems to call for a few words in refutation of its statements. Within an hour of the issuance of the sheet on Friday evening Mr. Gade called at our office and asking whether we had seen the false accusation referred to, denounced it vehemently, so Mr. Clark is within easy reach. So it is, to be sure, and here it is: LOS ALAMITOS SUGAR COMPANY. LOS ALAMITOS, Cal., April 4, 1898. Mr. Henry Kuchel, Editor WEEKLY GAZETTE, Anaheim, Cal.-Dear Sir; Your favor of the first inst. received and all noted, also enclosed clipping from the "Plain Dealer." In reply to same will say that the people of Anaheim have never at any time made us a proposition to build a sugar factory in that vicinity. Referring to any information Mr. Augustus Strodthoff may have given them in regard to the matter, I know nothing about; in fact, I never talked to Mr. Strodthoff in reference to the matter. With kind regards, I am, very truly yours, J. ROSS CLARK. In conversation with Mr. Clark on Monday the following information was freely given by him: "Has anything ever appeared in the Gazette to discourage you or your company from building a sugar factory at or near Anaheim?" "No, sir," he answered. "Had H. A. Pierce ever at any time the right to say that he represented you or your company in the matter of the erection of a sugar factory at or near Anaheim?" "No sir; he did not," replied Mr. Clark, emphatically. We say as emphatically as in our power lies that the Gazette has been friendly to all projects for the betterment of the community, for the up-building of this city, or the development of the latent resources of the valley, ever since its initial number, twenty-seven years ago. We favored the erection of the co-operative sugar factory until its management became so unsatisfactory that the great majority of the stockholders arose as one man and demanded that the corporation disorganize. There is not a public enterprise the Plain Liar can point out in the last decade, or before that time, that the Gazette has not warmly championed. This is known by all men, and it does not lie in the power of the imported scribbler of the Plain Liar to set itself up in criticism of our acts. So far as we are at present aware, no offer was ever made by Mr. Clark to erect a sugar factory "at or near Anaheim" at any time. At any rate, his splendid sugar factory at Alamitos is quite as near Anaheim as the site selected by the co-operative sugar factory of unsavory memory—unsavory FARMERS' INSTITUTE An Interesting and Successful Matter at Westminster on Thursday and Friday Last. Westminster was all aglow with citement over the meeting of the mers' Institute last Thursday and day, and in the words of Prof. Cox was one of the most enthusiastic best attended meetings he had added for a long time. One of the prominent features ect meeting was a basket picnic furry by the ladies of Westminster. is a very modest name for the tuious repast that spread over the table extending from end to end spacious hall. The numerous extense were another feature that attracttion and drew forth the h praise. The genial Mr. Moss stood hard his exhibit of the co-operative cery butter and must have blushed and deeply as he listened to the e compliments paid the output plant. A. Hay Bates, the maker of the creamery, was also and heard his proficiency lauded skiles. Side by side with the butter several other staple products of minster. Prominent among them an enormous rooster belonging James Young Anderson, in sole possession of a flock of chicks. The greatest exhibited all the tenderness of a man for her little ones, calling them his wings, and manifesting symp of the highest displeasure where mischievous boy intruded his through the coop. Mr. Andersa reputation for high grade roosters none of them have got them so much talked of and admired effeminated doddy who presided his little flock at the Farmers' institute. Then came celery from the peas imposingly massive, white and ous, the very look of it tranquilthe nervous system. Beets that beat creation for breadth and thickness, lay side with gigantic corn cobs, onions, and turnips. Alkali land and land reclamation alkali were exhibited by Frank ard. The addresses of Prof. Coo Jaffa were as excellent as they highly appreciated. Mr. Raab ob was at home on Cleanliness Dairy, and Mr. Hazard on the reation of alkali lands was listed with marked attention, and these speakers were equally well recei It is rather an unpleasant duty to deal with people of the Plain Dealer stripe; but the situation seems to call for a few words in refutation of its statements. Within an hour of the issuance of the sheet on Friday evening Mr. Gade called at our office and asking whether we had seen the false accusation referred to, denounced it vehemently, so far as his name was connected with it, as a cowardly and outrageous falsehood without a shadow or scintilla of provocation. He assured us that he had said nothing that would justify even in the remotest degree the construction placed upon it by the Plain Dealer scribbler. Mr. Gade's reply is as follows. We preface his remarks by the paragraph alluded to: Brother H. C. Gade in talking over what might have been, said to us last week that he said to the editor of our esteemed contemporary, in a public place in this town, at the time gentlemen were training new Mr. Clark to locate the sugar plant here: "You have driven the sugar plant away from here. Your paper is responsible for it." ANAHEIM, April 4, 1898. To the Editor of the GAZETTE: Reading in the Plain Dealer that I had made above statement (which is a pure invention) I went immediately to the editor of that sheet and informed him of the fact, and he agreed to retract the statement in his next issue. I emphatically deny ever making the statement attributed to me, or anything which could by any means be distorted into such a remark. H. C. Gade. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 4th day of April, 1898. H. W. CHYROWTH. Notary Public in and for Orange county. California. [SEAL] So much for that part of the Plain Liar's statement for the present. Mr. Strothoff came up from Alamitos, where he is in the employ of the Clark brothers as bookkeeper in their sugar factory, on Saturday afternoon. On arriving at his home he found that a copy of the paper had been left at his door, and his attention was at once attracted to the paragraph concerning him. He came immediately to this office to assure us there was not a particle of truth in the statement, but before preparing a denial, said he would go to the Plain Liar's office and demand to know on whose authority his name had been used in such an unwarrantable manner. This latter information the editor of the sheet refused to give, saying simply that a mistake had been made, and promising to rectify the error. Our young friend returned shortly, warmly indignant at the unwarranted use of his name and prepared the following denial: ANAHEIM, April 2, 1898. Referring to the statement printed in to-day's Plain Dealer, in which I am given as authority for the assertion that the cause for the abandonment of Anaheim as a site for a sugar factory to be erected by Mr. Clark" was the attitude of the GAZETTE toward the enterprise. I desire to say that the statement is entirely unfounded and altogether without truth. G. J. STROTHOFF. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 2d day of April, 1898. H. W. CHYROWTH. Notary Public in and for Orange county. California. [SEAL] Mr. Strothoff's family we have known for upwards of a quarter of a century, during all of which time we have been on terms of cordial good-fellowship with all its members. CHISPA CHAPTER. Entertainment of Visiting Members In an Hospital Manner. Chispa Chapter, No. 151, O. E. S., entertained a number of sister chapters on Tuesday evening in a very hospitable manner at Turnverein Hall, the occasion being the celebration of the second anniversary of the installation of Chispa Chapter. A most enjoyable disorganize there is not a public enterprise the Plain Liar can point out in the last decade, or before that time, that the GAZETTE has not warmly championed. This is known by all men, and it does not lie in the power of the imported scribbler of the Plain Liar to set itself up in criticism of our acts. So far as we are at present aware, no offer was ever made by Mr. Clark to erect a sugar factory "at or near Anaheim" at any time. At any rate, his splendid sugar factory at Alamitos is quite as near Anaheim as the site selected by the co-operative sugar factory of unsavory memory—unsavory after it had passed from the control of the people of this community into the hands of schemers who never had an idea of creating a sugar factory, whose only purpose seemed to be to speculate in land deals, and whose administration finally became so odious that the stockholders rose en masse and demanded the disorganization of the corporation. We disdain to fail at length the story of the wrecking of that enterprise, once so pregnant with opulent possibilities for the development of this community. But if necessary the story will be spread broadcast before the people of the community for their edification and information in due season. When that sugar factory corporation was in the throes of disintegration—when the stockholders were demanding the return of the deeds to their land—when stockholders possessed of the faculty of making plain to the people the rottiness of the Directorate were quietly given their deeds as a reward for their silence in future—the Directors, whose every promise to build the Factory on Wheels had come to naught, and who had fattened their purses meanwhile by commissions on land sales, announced one day that a company of capitalists were ready to come to Anaheim and erect a sugar factory. This same statement had been made repeatedly before—that a company of capitalists were on the way to erect the factory, but none ever came. When finally the corporation was disorganized, and the splendid Alamitos factory began a year or so later to rear its head above the surrounding valley, the Little Crooked Man arose on his hind legs and diligently flapping his ears, brayed forth: "See what you have done! The capitalists to whom we referred were the Clarks! They wanted to come to Anaheim and build their factory here, and you have driven them away!" Mr. Clark's reply to this statement is the best answer available at this time to this falsehood. If frequent meetings after that of the Farmers' Institute were held public attention to its beautification, marvelous fertility and ability to the charms of its mothers and sons, whether figuring in a social or presiding over a cooking store paring a "basket picnic" for these 'Institute.' BUENA PARK. Miss Willis read at the Conventional Church Friday night. She enthusiastically received, and more hearts than ever. The entiment was under the direction of social committee of the Y.P.S. The church was quite well filled sidering the short notice. Thursday evening John Tannettained two of the classes of the gregational Sunday school. A dull evening was passed in games, refreshments the house was filled Mr. Strodthoff's family we have known for upwards of a quarter of a century, during all of which time we have been on terms of cordial good-fellowship with all its members. When the Plain Liar picked him out and sought to strike us over his shoulder, it selected the very man in this community whose manhood would be the first to repel its lying insinuations. Our young friend was placed, moreover, in an embarrassing position, relative to his standing with his employers, in the insane effort of the Plain Liar to attempt an injury to us. He felt like saying more in denunciation of the outrageous attempt to bring him into a question with which he cares to have nothing to do, but satisfies himself with an emphatic denial of the statement. If he, in his capacity as one of the confidential agents of Mr. Clark, gets information "direct from the fountain head," on whatever subject, he is quite shrewd enough to keep the matter to himself, and not make the example of himself the Plain Liar would seem to have in view; but we have his statement that Mr. Clark's references toward us have been uniformly of a very friendly character. Mr. Clark has himself informed us that he has read our paper with a good deal of interest—and we hope with profit as well, level-headed business man that he is! Our position relative to him is one of sincere friendship. We are already on record publicly relative to our regard for his enterprise, but we may be permitted to say again that we have seldom met with a more genial or whole-souled gentleman. Certainly if he ever contemplated the erection of a sugar factory in Anaheim, we would feel it a duty and a privilege to assist in the enterprise in every way—we would not try to "drive it away," as the Plain Liar would have its readers believe. The Plain Liar says the testimony of CHISPA CHAPTER. Entertainment of Visiting Members In an Hospitable Manner. Chispa Chapter, No. 151, O. E. S., entertained a number of sister chapters on Tuesday evening in a very hospitable manner at Turnverein Hall, the occasion being the celebration of the second anniversary of the installation of Chispa Chapter: A most enjoyable time was participated in by all. Progressive razzle dazzle and music was the order of the evening's entertainment. Thirty members of Hermosa Chapter of Santa Ana and twelve members of Norwalk chapter were present. Miss Peabody and Mr. Waffle took the first and Miss Barrett the second prize at the razzleddazzle games, which included odd games at cards, tiddle-de-winks, fish pond, lifting potatoes with miniature spoons, and other games provocative of great merriment. Mrs. C. Chrisman and Mr. Jacobson, took the consolation prizes; all of Santa Ana. The prizes were as follows: Ladies' first, silver mounted emory cushion; second, enameled stick pin; gentlemen's consolation prizes, John K. Bangs' "Three Weeks in Politics" ladies' Psyche, prize for book, Omra's "Rubiyat." Each person present wore something suggesting the title of a book. Miss Peabody carried off the first prize for the most clever representation, Roe's "A Face Illumined." Madame Ruprecht of Los Angeles sang a beautiful selection. The Mandolin Club of Anaheim furnished two pleasing selections. A bountiful spread wound up the evening's entertainment, when the members of Chispa Chapter dispensed their hospitality to the guests in a manner long to be remembered. It was after midnight when the guests retired to their homes, vowing that a more hospitable evening had never been experienced. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Interesting and Successful Meeting at Westminster on Thursday and Friday Last. Westminster was all aglow with excitement over the meeting of the Farms Institute last Thursday and Friday in the words of Prof. Cook it one of the most enthusiastic and attended meetings he had addressed a long time. One of the prominent features of the meeting was a basket picnic furnished by ladies of Westminster. Picnic every modest name for the sumps is repast that spread over the long extending from end to end of the various hall. The numerous exhibits are another feature that attracted attention and drew forth the highest seas. The genial Mr. Moss stood hard by exhibit of the co-operative cream butter and must have blushed often deeply as he listened to the endless implements paid the output of his att. A. Hay Bates, the butter maker of the creamery, was also there heard his proficiency lauded to the seaside by side with the butter were several other staple products of Westminster. Prominent among these was enormous rooster belonging to Mrs Young Anderson, in sole charge of flock of chicks. The great capon bibited all the tenderness of a mother her little ones, calling them under wings, and manifesting symptoms of the highest displeasure when some chievous boy intruded his finger through the coop. Mr. Anderson has reputation for high grade roosters, but none of them have got themselves much talked of and admired as the eliminated doddy who presided over little flock at the Farmers' Institute. When came celery from the peatland, rosingly massive, white and lusciously the very look of it tranquilizing nervous system. Meets that beat creation for length, depth and thickness, lay side by side with gigantic corn cobs, onions, beets turnips. Milkland land and land reclaimed from all were exhibited by Frank Hazard. The addresses of Prof. Cook and others were as excellent as they were highly appreciated. Mr. Raab of Bolsa at home on Cleanliness in the city, and Mr. Hazard on the reclamation of alkali lands was listened to with marked attention, and the other makers were equally well received. Mr. H.

Wm. McFadden has put in a flume to irrigate his large orchard, and it has proved so satisfactory he will put in another soon.

The entertainment was under the direction of the real committee of the Y.P.S.C.E. church was quite well filled concerning the short notice. Saturday evening John Tanner enlisted two of the classes of the Conventational Sunday school. A delightful evening was passed in games. Afterreshments the house was filled with turnips. The addresses of Prof. Cook and Wa were as excellent as they were highly appreciated. Mr. Raab of Bolsa at home on Cleanliness in theury, and Mr. Hazard on the recla mion of alkali lands was listened to marked attention, and the other makers were equally well received. Mr. H.G. Carlyle looked after the effort of the strangers present, while Dr. Shively of Bolsa contributed no part to the success of the meeting. We missed the genial Judge McCoy that energetic rustler, Sampson awards, at the meeting, but the form s hors de combat with rheumatism, the latter was forestalling the dry son by sinking two big artesian s. The music committee, under the dition of Miss McCoy, did their duty尽lessly, while the grappaphone in hands of Mr. Smith of Santa Ana several pretty solos, and made a speech on the great advantages of "free and unlimited coinage of silk," which was loudly applauded, for a in full accord with the sentiments of the local community. "Sixta to one," "no more, no less," the man repeated and emphasized. The meeting was eminently successful and from first to last without a rush. After luncheon we took a ramble through the pretty village and were struck with its evidences of thrift prosperity. The residence of Samson Edwards, powered in rare and beautiful rubbery and dotted with artistic ceramics, kept cool and green by the day from an artesian well, stands at eastern end of the town. A few kicks farther is the well-known store Patterson & Hawkins, which still has the trade of the local farmers. The new enterprises are a harness loo, a carpet factory and a barber's do. But no saloon blends its fragrance with the pure fresh air wafted by western wind from the calm Pacific; no newspaper man disseminates he and malevolence among the old God-fearing community. And Westminster is one of the healthi-places for an editor in all the United States. In point of fact no editor ever died in Westminster yet. Frequent meetings after the style of the Farmers' Institute were held in Westminster, they would surely draw attention to its beautiful location, marvelous fertility and above all the charms of its mothers and maid whether figuring in a social sphere presiding over a cooking stove preening a "basket picnic" for the Farm-Institute.

If it meets the cruiser fleet, the squadron will also fight it. It will whether either of these fleets, proceed to its destination, the Canaries. These islands will be made base of the operations of this country against Spain, and they will be captured at once,and be supplied with coal and munitions for the fleets of the United States. If the torpedo flotilla escapes the squadron, Schley has orders to proceed to the canaries without the loss of time in searching the Atlantic for these fugitive boats,and seize the Canaries as soon as possible,and hold them for the purpose in view. A part of the plan consists in cooperation at once of the fleet under Capt. Sampson with his flying squadron,and as soon as the latter starts for the Canaries Sampson will sail for Havana,salel up that harbor with a few vessels and pass on to meet two Spanish squadrons.

Philip Haigh, who has been ill for a number of years, passed away from his only life Sunday morning at the age of his sister in Los Angeles, she had gone for a brief visit. Haigh was an estimable man, much light of by those who knew him. lived a consistent Christian life, was finely educated; was an archbishop profession. His last work was assisting in building the new parsonage. His mother and several brothers were in Council Bluffs, Iowa; they greatly attached to him. He was a wife and two children to mourn departure. His wife is the daughter of R. E. Sailor, with whom the Fountain pens are rather older than most people imagine. As long ago as 1824 they were in use, for in that year Thomas Jefferson saw a contrivance of this sort, tried it and wrote to General Bernard Peyton of Richmond asking him to get one of them. The pen was of gold and the ink tube of silver, and according to Jefferson's letter, the maker was a Richmond watch repairer named Cowan. There are more than 100,000 children in the national schools of Germany who stutter. Resolved, that we recognize in our friend a true patriot, one who loved his country, her institutions and her laws, and, above all, believed in the hope-giving fact and realized the grand truth, that the highway to usefulness, honor and fame, is not and never has been monopolized in this country of ours by accident of birth, and that the chance to be great does not by divine right belong to any person or family, but depends upon a person's honor, high motives and determination to surmount obstacles and to conquer and overcome difficulties. He recognized no aristocracy but aristocracy of brains. His course was always timely and good, conservative in all things, but he stood like a stone wall for right and justice. His christian charity always minimized the faults and magnified the good he saw in others. Resolved That these resolutions be spread at length on the records of the official proceedings of this board. That a copy be furnished each of the newspapers of Orange county for publication. That they be engrossed by the Clerk of this board, and the engrossed copy furnished the family of the deceased. Santa Ana, April 6, 1898. A Titled Costermonger. An aristocratic costermonger is what one would hardly expect to find in Shoreditch, yet some years ago this was a favorite character of Lord Lonsdale. It was no unusual thing for this eccentric nobleman to lay aside his dinner dress and robe himself in the corduroys and colored handkerchief of the coster, and a capital coster he made, having a pair of lungs like a couple of foghorns and a genius for acting the part which was irresistible—London Answers.

Castallanos, to attack the Government if his peace proposals on the basis of autonomy were rejected by the patriots. The proposals were rejected, and he began his military operations with a column of 8000 men, while Gen. Castallanos had 6000 and Gen. Luque at Puerto Padre 5000 men. With these 19,000 regulars Pando thought it would be an easy task to defeat the insurgents. But the result sult was that Castallanos had to retreat to Puerto Principe city, Luque to Puerto Padre, and now Pando himself to Vertientes, after having lost over 1000 men in the three conflicts. Lee sent word that he did not believe it would be possible for him to get all of the Americans out of Cuba before the 10th instant, and suggested that congressional action, in following out the resolutions of the president, should be delayed until all could be removed to a place of safety. The President has already sent two additional boats to Havana to bring the Americans home, so that the fleet now available for this purpose consists of the Bache, Fern and Mangrove. This afternoon word was sent to General Lee telling him that if more vessels were needed they would be sent at once, and asking him to report as to the number of Americans to be transported, how many could be sent in each vessel, and other details. He was particularly urged, it was said, to impress upon all of our citizens who desired to leave the necessity of getting out as soon as possible. LONDON, April 5.—Movement of the powers of Europe for a joint offer of mediation between the United States and Spain have received a severe and probably fatal rebuff in the form of a definite refusal upon the part of Great Britain to participate in it. Many conflicting and erroneous reports regarding the scheme to bring the Spanish-American question under the jurisdiction of "the concert of Europe" have emanated from different European capitals. From the highest authority the Associated Press has obtained an outline of the details of the movement, as learned by London diplomats. The project is distinctively of Spanish origin and was set on foot by two influences, official and personal, the former request from the good offices of the chancellors to prevent war, while the Queen Regent at Madrid personally to influence the sovereigns. It is understood that the tenor of the communications were to the effect that European interests were threatened by what Spain terms "the pretensions of the United States to the right to interfere in colonial matters." For once Austria was the prime mover of the suggested mediation, and by her counsel it was suggested to the British foreign office that the powers J.E.
