CONSIDERATION OF LIBEL CASES IS DEFERRED Libelers Having Refuge in United States Supreme Court. Are Immune Temporarily from Punishment. For men who are anxious to meet their accuser in court and vindicate themselves from the charge of having committed the crime of libel, Spreckels and Leake are conducting themselves in a most remarkable fashion. They employed "Butt-In" Boardman to file a complaint in San Francisco, hoping thereby to oust the jurisdiction of the justices' court of Los Angeles county, and they have exercised their influence for the dismissal of the case. Once in jeopardy, they reasoned, would let them out. But the Boardman proceedings did not work satisfactorily. Evidently Spreckels and Leake have got the worst of it in the argument before Superior Judge Sloss, and, fearing that a decision from him will compel them to go to Los Angeles, they have appealed to the United States supreme court from an order refusing them a writ in the United States circuit court. This effectively hangs up Governor Gage's prosecution until after the election. The examination at Los Angeles has been postponed until September 15, and probably nothing further will be heard of the proceedings in San Francisco after Judge Sloss hands down his opinion. Spreckels and Leake control the "Butt-In" Boardman case, and even if the police court is held to possess jurisdiction, they will not press it to a hearing. In other words, the lawyers for these two libelers have succeeded in postponing further consideration of the Governor's libel suit until after the election, evidently in the hope that when that contest is decided Gage will let them off. But is this matter, it is safe to say, they are reckoning without their host. Gage is not a quitter, and some time he will force Spreckels and Leake to appear before the Los Angeles superior court and answer for their crimes. This is as certain as anything can be that exists in the future. So the delay for which Spreckels and Leake are battling so manfully merely removes the libel proceedings temporarily from the domain of state politics. SARCASM BY WHISTLER. Word Sketch Which Scored a Member of the Hogarth Club. There is in London an institution called the Hogarth club, the membership of which is restricted to artists and litterateurs. It is something on the lines of the old Bohemian club, and both business men and American millionaires are strictly interdicted. Whistler is a member, and, of course, shines by his witticism. The lines being strictly drawn there is always an effort being made by some outsider to force an entrance, and in the case of Baron Grant it met with success. Grant was a treble millionaire who had made his fortune in Turkish contracts and had invested in an Italian title on his way back to London. He was a particularly notorious person and quite the last man whom the Hogarths should have admitted. However, by dint of buying pictures he got in and proceeded to make his friends happy. One night a big dinner was organized in his honor and Whistler invited. Though the great artist had refused, he happened into the club on the important evening and a deputation of his friends finally persuaded him into the supper room. He appeared, was wildly cheered and was at once asked to make a speech. "Gentlemen," he said, "it is on the subject of titles I should like to speak. There are several kinds of titles. Some men are born into them—these are inherited titles; others are conferred by the sovereign and have been earned by distinguished service; a few are attributes of the government, of the law or of the church. All this you know, most of you. But a title which is not inherited, nor yet bestowed for merit, nor even the sign of a position, is but a barren grant."—San Francisco Wave. Unconventional Lady Aberdeen. Her ladyship's dinner parties are rather the outcome of a happy thought suddenly conceived and equally suddenly executed than the result, as with most people in her position, of careful consideration. And so, instead of the customary note conveying my lady's commands for some night, say a fortnight hence, the telephone is requisitioned to invite Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so to dinner "to morrow evening," or even "this evening. Now, it so happened that on one of these occasions Lady Aberdeen telephoned her commands for the same evening to a Mr. and Mrs. X., persons at considerable social position, Mr. X. holding an important post in connection. BEGGING EASIER THAN WOOD. At Least That's Why One Man Sold His Street Stand. I once got a rather curious confession from a professional beggar, which true, and I believe it was, opened eyes to the reckless ways in which American beggars are made. "He been keeping a sidewalk stand years," said he. "I worked hard earned from $3 to $4 a week. On this lived. One night when I started home by the Mission street cars I that my pocket had been picked. I too far to walk, so I decided to be a nickel. The first man to whom my story gave me a quarter wife besitation. All the way home I think it over. A quarter was as much made clear at my stand many a day all ended by my selling out and to begging, always telling my story. I have done pretty well then and like the business." One day I met him in Union Square "How's business?" I asked. He leaning against a tree, deeply introspective some figures in a book. He slipped book into his pocket and began to write "Never mind your regular story," I know it. Answer my regular question like a man, and you may add any to your bank account." After a little preliminary skimming he waxed confidential. "I make it a rule," he said, "to walk less than 100 blocks each. It is a very poor block that does not age 2½ cents. Two blocks will often net me 10 cents." He contended that "Yes, the average of six months is $5 a day—that is, cents a block. I have been on nearly a year now, and I have made lar customers. Excuse me a minute." He passed through the fog to the side of the street and touched it to an elderly acquaintance of mine was coming down the broad street of the Pacific Union club. In a more returned with a bright new quirk his hand. "I told him my wife was bad day," he said, smiling pleasantly that she prayed for him night after Well, so long! Your dollar paid limit today—and business is over. Can you blame him? Five days day is the wages of a first class job. Why should not begging be profession when people are superseded?—Overland Monthly. This is how Zola is described poning further consideration of the Governor's libel suit until after the election, evidently in the hope that when that contest is decided Gage will let them off. But is this matter, it is safe to say, they are reckoning without their host. Gage is not a quitter, and some time he will force Spreckels and Leake to appear before the Los Angeles superior court and answer for their crimes. This is as certain as anything can be that exists in the future. So the delay for which Spreckels and Leake are battling so manfully merely removes the libel proceedings temporarily from the domain of state politics. It will not be discussed very much longer except as illustrating the system of "journalism" which is practiced by Spreckels in getting even with his enemies. He libs them, resists proceedings to make him responsible and staves off hearings until after the election. In this way he thinks he can inflict damage on the person he does not like. But it should be remembered in this connection that the efforts of Spreckels and Leake to drive Governor Gage from public life are not meeting with flattering success. A few days ago he encountered their forces in Kern county and beat them by a 2 to 1 vote. On Wednesday the county convention of Kings county not only endorsed his administration, but elected a delegation pledged to vote for him in the state convention. These two victories were achieved by Gage's friends after the issue had been squarely made, and all the influence of Spreckels, Otis and D. Young had been exercised in behalf of the opposition. Of course, it is too much to expect, as the San Francisco Post remarks, that every county in the state will send a Gage delegation to the Sacramento convention, but it should be noted that up to date the opposition to his renomination has made no progress whatever. True, his enemies have caused some commotion, having a number of newspapers in which to express themselves, but wherever the people have been heard from they have not hesitated to declare emphatically in favor of a continuance of his remarkable administration. Indeed, it would be strange if this were not a fact. Gage has given the state the best administration it has ever had, and unless the people are devoted entirely to pothouse politics and personalities, they should desire to secure for another four years the services of such a faithful servant. Sound business reason dictates that when a growing state like California has succeeded in electing a man as governor who possesses the courage to manage its affairs economically and with an eye single to its material interests, he should be kept in office as long as he will accept the employment. Even if the objections to Gage were not founded upon the personal empathy of those who have failed to influence his administration against the public interest, it would be midsummer madness at this time for the masses of the people, who are always wrapped up in good government, to supplant Gage with a new and untried man. The Republicans will probably elect their companion this year and there is but one ladyship's dinner parties are rather the outcome of a happy thought suddenly conceived and equally suddenly executed than the result, as with most people in her position, of careful consideration. And so, instead of the customary note conveying my lady's commands for some night, say a fortnight hence, the telephone is requisitioned to invite Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so to dinner "to-morrow evening," or even "this evening." Now, it so happened that on one of these occasions Lady Aberdeen telephoned her commands for the same evening to a Mr. and Mrs. X., persons at considerable social position, Mr. X. holding an important post in connection with the Hudson Bay company. Mrs. X was naturally highly incensed besides she had a long standing engagement for the same evening—and the result was that she decided, not without trepidation, that she would not go. It was not till the viceregal party were seated at dinner that the double vacancy made Lady Aberdeen aware of the absence of Mr. and Mrs. X. "My dear," said Lady Aberdeen at once to her husband across the table, "Mr. and Mrs. X are now here. They must have got our message this morning." Then turning to a servant, she said, "Just telephone to Mr. and Mrs. X., at — that we are expecting them this evening." A perceptive flutter among the guests followed on this little speech, and then Lord Aberdeen came hastily, if not diplomatically, to the rescue "No, no, mother," he called across the table, "I cannot have that. We have all of us had quite enough telephony for one day."—Today To Prevent Iron Rust. Among the new and useful metallurgical processes of note the San Francisco Scientific Press speaks of one by which iron may be effectively protected from rust. In this solution of ferrocyanide is mixed with a flaxseed varnish, to which has been added a small quantity of turpentine or benzol. The evaporation of the alcohol leaves the flaxseed varnish, which forms a cost and projects the cyanide of iron, the same being deposited upon the metal by the use of the ferrocyanide, the only preparation required by iron for such treatment being the removal of any rust that may have formed on it not admitting of the action of such a solution. Another process of interest to workers in metallurgy is that of substituting the use of manganese for German silver; the different metals and their proportions being follows: Copper, 67.25 per cent; manganee, 18.50 per cent; zinc, 18 per cent; aluminium, 1.25 per cent; the color of this metal closely resembling German silver, being also fully as strong as the best quality of the latter and possessing superior adaptation for casting.

The Republicans will probably elect their governor this year and there is but one way in which the state convention can ignore the aspirations of Gage, and that is by declaring against officials who kept their pledges, and in favor of Spreckels, Otis, Leake, De Young and their methods of libel and slander, as well as their disinclination to come into court and justify their crimes. A Sustaining Diet These are the enervating days, when somebody has said, men drop by the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had dawned. They are fraught with danger to people whose systems are poorly sustained. And this leads us to say, in the interest of the less robust of our readers, that the full effect of Hood's Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the propriety of calling this medicine something besides a blood purifier and tonic—say, a sustaining diet. It makes it much easier to bear the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and will without doubt avert much sickness at this time of year. It is reported the Southern Pacific company's long wharf at Port Los Angeles is in bad condition and is not worth repairing. It will be abandoned, the business being taken to San Pedro. For years that company fought all efforts for the improvement of San Pedro harbor, but it will now be a leading beneficiary of that improvement. The Same Old Story J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States, and has been told by thousands of others. He says: "Last summer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies." Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Henderson, N.C. For sale by all druggists France and Depopulation.

I am so tired I don't think I shall ever write another magazine article. Put the sheets in your dispatch box and finish them for me.

FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM Sketch of the industries and resources or this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second-largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owes its water and lighting plant. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California. Monastery Burned The celebrated monastery of the Trappists at Oka, Quebec, was entirely destroyed by fire one night last week. Loss $300,000; insurance $100,000. There were ninety-seven monks in the monastery, all of whom escaped. Ten thousand gallons of cider and 4000 gallons of wine were destroyed. The fire, the origin of which is unknown, destroyed every vestige of the magnificent buildings, which required many years to build. Two monks, Brother Seraphin, who was blind, and another who was suffering from consumption, were rescued from the top floor by priests at the risk of their lives. It is feared they will die. The Main Street Savings bank of Los Angeles has made application to the Orange county board of supervisors, sitting as a board of equalization, for a reduction of assessment on the Hotel del Campo property in this city, which is owned by the bank. The property is assessed at $4000, and the bank people ask that the amount be reduced to $2500. They suggest the possibility of tearing the hotel down in case their request is not complied with. It is understood the property is offered for sale at $8000.

The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles. 3577. 860,483 Orange. 2288. 599,436 Riverside. 2440. 427,907 San Bernardino. 2350. 219,182 San Diego. 2398. 869,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles. 3577. 860,483 Orange. 2288. 599,436 Riverside. 2440. 427,907 San Bernardino. 2350. 219,182 San Diego. 2398. 869,419 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square smiles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.

It was thought by the Danes to be cowardly to attack an enemy after nightfall, but on one occasion they defied from their usual rule. On they crept, noiselessly and unobserved, in their bare feet, upon the unsuspecting Scotchmen. When near the camp, one of the Danes trod upon a thistle and in his pain cried out. This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen, and they gave the alarm. The Danes were defeated with terrible loss of life, and ever since that time the thistle has been the insignia of Scotland, with the motto, "Nemo me impune lacerit!"—Philadelphia Record. Garfield was said to be only one of a very few who kept up their literary studies while in Washington. He never did so well but it seemed he could easily do better. He always gave the impression that he had much more power than he used. As Trevelyan said of his parliamentary hero, Garfield succeeded because all the world could not have kept him in the background, and because, once in front, he played his part with an intrepidity and a commanding ease that were but the outward symptoms of the immense reserve of energy on which it was in his power to draw. "When I was a freshman in Williams college," said Garfield, "I looked out one night and saw in the window of my only competitor for first place in mathematics a light twinkling a few minutes longer than I was wont to keep mine burning. I then and there determined to invest a little more time in preparation for the next day's recitation. I did so and passed above my rival. I emile today at the old rivalry, but I am thankful for the way my attention was called to the value of a little margin of time well employed. I have since learned that it is just such a margin, whether of time or attention or earnestness or power, that wins in every battle, great or small."—Successa Santa Fe Beach Rates The Santa Fe is now selling round trip tickets every Saturday and Sunday at greatly reduced rates to the following beaches: Redondo, Long Beach, East San Pedro, Terminal Island, Catalina Island.

We traveled it long ago, place for the lagging of leisurely steps, sweet and shady and slow. There were rims of restful hills beyond and fields of dreamful wheat, with shadows of clouds across them blown and poppies asleep at our feet. There lads and maids on a Sunday met and strolled them, two and two. The leaves they laced in a roof overhead, and only the sun peered through, and there was time to gather a rose and time for the woodbird's call. And plenty of time to sit by a stream and hearken its ripple and fall. Is there no road now to Leisurely lane? God knows we have hurried afar! There was once a lamp through the brooding duck, and over the tree a star. There was once a breath of the clover bloom—sweet heaven, we have hurried so long!—and there was a gate by a white rose clasped, and out of the duck a song. That song—the echo is strange and sweet; the volo—it is weak and old. It hath no part with this fierce, wild rush and this hard, mad fight for gold! It hath no part with the clamor and din and the jarring of wheel and stone! Oh, listen, my heart, and forget—forget that we reap the bread we have sown! As there no road now to Leisurely lane, where, lingering, one by one, The summoning bells of twilight time over the meadows blows. May find us strolling our homeward way, glad of the evening star? Is there no road now to Leisurely lane? God knows we have hurried afar! -Virginia Woodward Cloud in Ladies' Home Journal. Hobo is a common word among the Sloux or Dakota Indians They use the word in referring to young men who have nothing to do. An old chief will correct a son for any such tendencies by saying, "You act like a hobo." The Chain Gang. "Those gentlemen who are attired in the peculiar uniform that fancy ascribes to the pirate and freebooter," says an old time Washingtonian, "now known as the 'chain gang,' do not belong to a modern institution, as it is generally supposed. While it may be a new custom in some parts of the country to work the offenders of municipal law on the streets the custom has prevailed in this city for about three-fourths of a century. The corporation of Washington established the asylum in 1821, and the male inmates of the penitentiary department were ordered to report for work on the streets Nov. 23, 1828. The asylum, or poor and work house, was located then on the square bounded by M. N. Sixth and Seventh streets northwest, and in the early days those placed in the gang were so small in number as to attract no attention. I do not think needs and requirements of the body. All its effort was to guide the heart and mind. The body might stumble along anyhow, and it generally did. Many a sweet-faced, modest-minded young girl has had her first doubts of the goodness of Providence come in through the door of physical suffering. "Why must I suffer in this way?" she asks. "Why does my back ache, my head throb and my side pain, so that I am fain to creep away into a darkened room and forego the pleasures which belong to my season of life?" NO ANSWER COMES as a rule to these questions. The young woman looks around and sees scores of similar sufferers. She is told it is a part of the burden laid upon women, and she 1899, through the advice of a neighbor, and followed your advice from April to July. I took five bottles of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and four of 'Golden Medical Discovery' and five vials of 'Pellets.' Have not had a single symptom of my old trouble so far. Can sleep good nights, work hard, and can eat solid and substantial food without distress. There are several of my friends taking your medicines with the best results since they have seen how they helped me. "If any one wishes to know more of my case and will enclose a stamp I will answer any question they wish to ask." HEALTH FOR WOMEN. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has brought health to thousands of hopeless women. If you are sick it will almost surely bring health to you. In all the hundreds of thousands who have used "Favorite Prescription" for womanly illness, only two in every hundred have failed of a perfect and permanent cure. And even these two in every hundred have been benefited, their pains eased, their burdens lightened, their lives made happier. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries enfeebling and unhealthy drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. From the first change of life, when the girl becomes a woman to the last change of life it is a "Godsend to women" as a preservative of health and a cure for womanly illness. "Your letter just received," writes Miss Rose Kilfether, of 43 West Sharpnack St., German-town, Philadelphia, Pa. "Words fail to express how thankful I am to you for your advice. I must confess that for the length of time I have been using your medicine I have found it to be the most wonderful and best remedy for female troubles that I ever have tried. Sorry I did not know of your 'Favorite Prescription' years ago, but will gladly tell my friends who are suffering, of your wonderful medicine." There is no alcohol in "Favorite Prescription" and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. Sick and alluring women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence held as sacred and womanly confidence guarded by the same strict professional privacy which is observed in the personal consultations of Dr. Pierce and his staff (numbering nearly a score of physicians). modern institution, as it is generally supposed. While it may be a new custom in some parts of the country to work the offenders of municipal law on the streets the custom has prevailed in this city for about three-fourths of a century. The corporation of Washington established the asylum in 1821, and the male inmates of the penitentiary department were ordered to report for work on the streets Nov. 23, 1828.

Sixth and Seventh streets northwest, and in the early days those placed in the gang were so small in number as to attract no attention. I do not think that any attempt to place the offenders in the black and white stripes was made till long after the asylum was moved to the banks of the Anacostia, about 1844."—Washington Star. The Milk In the Cocoonut. Every boy knows the three eyes to be found in one end of a cocoonnut, and many a boy has bored these eyes out, or one or two of them, with the small blade of a pocketknife so as to get at the milk in the cocoonnut, which he has then drained out into a cup or drunk direct from the cocoon nut itself. But there is a more fascinating way still of getting at the milk in the cocoonnut. By this other method the cocoonnut is opened at the other end from the eyes. The cocoonnut is struck all around gently and repeatedly with a hammer, or a stone will do, at a distance of about one third of the way down from the top about where the arctic circle would be on a globe. A continual gentle tapping will finally crack the shell of the nut all around not in a line exactly on the circle perhaps, but pretty near to it. Sometimes it cracks shell and meat of the nut, too that both can be lifted off together sometimes it cracks out only a shell cap at the top, which is lifted off, and the cap of meat underneath is then cut out around with a knife. And then there you are with the white lined cocoonnut cup to drink from—New York Sun. Getting an Extra Ration. Medical Officer (going his rounds)—Well, Murphy, how are you this morning? Private M.—Much better, sir. M. O.—Is your appetite good? Private M.—Yea, sir. M. O.—Are you getting enough to eat? Private M.—No, sir. M. O.—What would you like in addition to your present diet? Private M.—Another pound of bread sir. M. O.—That I cannot give you, a regulation does not admit of a soldier receiving a double ration of bread in one day. Private M. (after a moment's hesitation)—Could you not let me have the extra pound and mark it down as bread poulice? He got it.—London Telegraph. Fatal Frivolity. Jack and his two pretty cousins happened to be walking along in front of a drug store. "I wonder," said Ethel, "if astronomically speaking, Uncle Henry's son is in the right sign for ice cream soda?" "I'm afraid not." replied Gwendolen. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Joseph C. Nichols of Santa Ana, candidate for SHERIFF Subject to the decision of the Republican primaries to be held August 5, 1902. W. L.

Kumpe, druggist, Leighton, Ala., writes: "One of my customers had a child which was sick and threw up all food; could retain nothing on its stomach. He bought one bottle of White's Cream Vermifuge and it brought up 119 worms from the child. It's the boss worm medicine in the world." White's Cream Vermifuge is also the children's tonic. It improves their digestion and assimilation of food, strengthens their nervous system and restores them to the health, vigor and elasticity of spirits natural to childhood. 25c at J. P. Hatzfeld's.

T., writes: "I have used Herbine for a number of years, and can cheerfully recommend it as the most perfect liver medicine and the greatest blood purifier. It is a medicine of positive merit and fully accomplishes all that is claimed for it." Malaria cannot find a lodgment in the system while the liver is in perfect order, for one of its functions is to prevent the absorption of fever-producing poisons. Herbine is a most efficient liver regulator. 50c at J. P. Hatzfeld's. Coronado Excursions Every day the Santa Fe sells tickets to Coronado and return for $3.50. Special $3.00 excursions to San Diego.
