It is to be hoped for the good name of the city that such unspeakable occurrences as prevailed upon the streets on Wednesday afternoon of last week, at the hands of a San Francisco desperado, may not be permitted to continue. The details of the disgraceful affair are printed elsewhere in this issue, but too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the city officials for their failure promptly to place the man under arrest. This man Decker has been conducting an "hotel" in this city, or attempting to conduct it, for some three or four months past. A preposterous braggart from the start, he soon developed into a city tough of the most pronounced character. Having no word spoken to him by the officers his tar-flat propensities soon asserted themselves and he became, as we are informed, "a holy terror" to small men and boys. As a matter of fact he made no attempt to conduct an hotel, but rather a rowdy barroom with other and more indecent appurtenances to his joint. The place became a veritable stink-pot under the very noses of the people. Innocent men and women were permitted to go to the "hotel," under the mistaken idea that accommodations could be procured. That all these things should have been permitted to continue and the man's saloon license be not cancelled and revoked by the municipal authorities, is a matter for which every citizen must hang his head in shame. Decker boasted of running his bar all night, when the city ordinance requires that such places close at midnight. He discharged his pistol frequently to frighten the house, else the man's saloon license, which was his chief means of support, would instantly have been canceled. The blame for this state of affairs rests with the officers who, knowing of these abuses, have winked at them from the beginning. F. R. HAZARD of Westminster has indited another lengthy communication to a Santa Ana paper referring to his pet aversion, the Bolsa Chica Land Company and the dock erected across the salt water inlet of that name. As usual Mr. Hazard fails to present one single fact in support of his contention. In one place he repeats his demand that the government transform this body of water into a harbor, and following closely upon this reiteration of his hobby, he denominates the inlet a "boy's swimming pool." If he had added that in addition to being a boy's swimming pool the commercial uses of the place were formerly confined to the purposes of his own private row boat and the gathering of shells for poultry upon the beach, he would have hit it off to a nicety; for the inlet and beach at this point were never used for anything else. Hunting and fishing are, of course, excellent as they are in many other portions of Orange county. When the Bolsa Chica people purchased the land and obtained a government patent to the inlet, they excluded Mr. Hazard and his row boat, and have since prevented him from hunting or fishing upon their property. This gentleman has since been vexing the public ear through the press, notably papers at Santa Ana, with a lamentable tale of woe that might, were the cause a holier one, bring tears of salty grief to the eyes of a crocodile. In one place he says: Look at what the government is doing in adjoining counties. Millions of dollars to improve navigation in Los Angeles county, hundreds of thousands to improve navigation in San Diego county, and Orange county's navigable waters donated to gun beach at this point a desolate way of sand dunes. There was nothing there except hunting and fishing grounds, a swimming pool for boys and a place for Judge Mech and Mr. Byram to gather up shirts for their poultry. The land company has made and is making many improvements and have other able ones in contemplation. They have added largely to the tax wealth of the county, and if we more of this class of citizens fewer of the Hazard-McCoy-Brystripe Orange county would we then be better off. A WOMAN THE STAR SHE WAS PLAYED AGAINST $50,000 A GAME OF ECARTE. Though the Kentuckian Won at the Glen He Was Beaten In Another Way—Strange Story of an Old, Grewsome Loch House In San Francisco. In 1867 there stood an old fashioned east of the locality now occupied by the Presentation convent, in front of the graveyard, and the people in neighborhood used to tell strange stories about this grewsome looking dwelling. For several years its occupancy was parently confined to a decrepit old man who used to crawl in and out about a day, his arms filled with packs from the market. He was known in the neighborhood the old dage, though in reality he was native of Alsace. For several years lived a hermit's life, and the neighbor got so accustomed to his comings goings that even the small boys felt to molest him. But one morning aloogossips found food for conversation—the appearance of a remarkably young woman who went out to an turned from the butcher's stall and grocer's. She spoke English imperfect and with a very pronounced French accent. This little cabin was destined to be the scene of a very dramatic dent in the history of California bulb. It was natural that a girl as pretende should not be long without mirrors, so it came to pass that she dows of the old house were lighted every evening, and the Frenchman developed the natural hospitality of race and gave little dinners and sundays to his exiled countrymen. But among those as was only natural, there Decker boasted of running his bar all night, when the city ordinance requires that such places close at midnight. He discharged his pistol frequently to frighten the small men who flocked about him, making a veritable hero out of him. He was often drunk and disorderly, but was always immune from arrest. But when the light of the press was thrown upon the scene—when the people of this city were at last made aware of the character of the man—the first threatened assassination dire to men employed in this office, but, on mature reflection, decided, when the majesty of the law was invoked in his case, to beat a disgraceful flight to green fields and pastures new. The Marshal of this city has been culpable in much of this matter. He prevailed upon Decker to surrender his revolver, in the office of Tipton & Cailor, but failed to place him under arrest and when, two hours later, being asked if he intended to place the desperado under arrest, replied that he had had no intention of so doing. Subsequently the man was arrested and was permitted quietly to slip out of town on a $10 bail bond, when the Marshal and Judge Howard knew that a citizen desired to swear to a second warrant charging the chap with disturbance of the peace. That innocent men and women should have been permitted to go to the fellow's "hotel," when in reality it was nothing less than a lewd and disreputable place, frequented by indecent women from Los Angeles and worse men from all parts of Orange county, is deplorable; but that this man should have been permitted to escape when adequate punishment was about to be meted out to him, must be considered a reproach upon city officials who should, at least, have made an attempt to stay him in his flight. Constable Llewellyn has acted the part of a courageous official in this affair. He did what he could to get the fellow after his escape, and had officers scouring Los Angeles and Pasadena for him, but the San Francisco tough, being probably fearful of the consequences to follow his many rash acts, lost no time in placing himself out of harm's way in the northern citrus belt. We do Look at what the government is doing in adjoining counties. Millions of dollars to improve navigation in Los Angeles county, hundreds of thousands to improve navigation in San Diego county, and Orange county's navigable waters donated to gun clubs. The fact that the government is expending millions at San Pedro of itself eliminates Bolsa Chica as a possible site for a harbor, even if the waters of the inlet were navigable, which they are not. So Capt. Meyler, representing the war department, informed Mr. Hazard, standing upon the dock three years ago. San Pedro is within a stone's throw. figuratively speaking, of Bolsa Chica, being in plain sight therefrom not more than a dozen miles away. Capt. Meyler at that time stated that government did not erect into a harbor the waters of every inlet and indentation into the coast line of the country, that would necessitate a greater outlay than the commercial advantages of such undertakings would warrant. Having just appropriated a million dollars for San Pedro, he said, it was to be doubted that government would make an appropriation, even of the smallest amount, for another harbor so near. Mr. Hazard used to say that the dock across the inlet would cause the stoppage of water in the drainage ditches and produce malaria. If we mistake not he said when appearing before the board of supervisors four years ago, in reference to this structure, which was then building, that, as one of the direful consequences of it, in six months time half the residents between the county seat and the Peat would be dead of malaria. He was drawing a long bow of course, for so far from stopping the waters in the drainage ditches the land company has from the first accelerated the flow. The dock, as is well known, is fitted with automatic gates extending down to the level of extreme low water mark. These open at ebb tide, and close at the flow. Thus the purpose of the company-to form a sweet water lake is being carried out by the exclusion of the salt water. Now Capt. Meyler pointed out that if the uninterrupted flow of the drainage ditches through the Peat property.

We desire to make public acknowledgment of the manliness of Llewellyn's services in the case. He should have the thanks, and has the thanks, not only of those most interested but of every person in this city for his prompt and energetic attempt to wing this unwholesome person in his flight. Among the man's most despicable work was the practical turning out of his house of the force of fifteen railroad surveyors, who came to his hotel presuming it to be a decent place. One of the members of the party was shown with his wife into a room where they remained over night, but so indecent was the place found to be that the entire party resolved to move out early the next morning. They went to Westminster, where they made headquarters. Decent men and women have gone there, only to find such unmistakable evidences of the character of the house that many left the place at night after having retired, as they thought, in a clean and orderly house. Such, men and women of Anaheim, has been the character of the "hotel" for some months past. We are certain the city trustees have had no knowledge of the true character of The Bolsa Chica people found the waters in the drainage ditches the land company has from the first accelerated the flow. The dock, as is well known, is fitted with automatic gates extending down to the level of extreme low water mark. These open at ebb tide, and close at the flow. Thus the purpose of the company-to form a sweet water lake is being carried out by the exclusion of the salt water. Now Capt. Meyler pointed out that if the uninterrupted flow of the drainage ditches through the Peatlands was what Mr. Hazard desired, he should not ask that a harbor be erected at Bolsa Chica, for the first work government would do in such a case would be to permanently stop the outflow of the ditches into the bay, but Mr. Hazard has long since given up his contention about malaria and the stoppage of the flow of water in the drainage ditches. He knows there never was any ground for his gloomy forecast, and he has lived to see more work performed by the land company in assisting the flow of the drainage ditches than was ever done before. No one has died of malaria so far as we have heard. The flow of the drainage ditches has not been impaired, but it has been greatly assisted and accelerated by the work of the land company. Mr. Hazard's contention that Orange county should have a slice of the river and harbor appropriation, because Los Angeles to the north and San Diego to the south of us have some of it is very nice, but it is specious and untenable. The fact that two extensive harbors are being improved on the Southern California coast, within one hundred miles of one another, puts the question of the erection of Mr. Hazard's harbor somewhat in the background, only that and nothing more.

Herbert Spencer's definition of the nature of life implies, as is well known, a continuous adjustment of internal to external relations, says the London Lancet. In other words, vitality is preserved by interactions going on between the constituents of the protoplasm. On the face of it this view must be very materially modified in the light of some exceedingly interesting experiments recently brought to the notice of the Royal society by Horace Brown, whose classic researches on that interesting class of ferments the enzymes are well known. He has found that by submitting seeds to the very low temperature of evaporating liquid air—i.e., from —188 degrees C. to 192 degrees C.—for 110 consecutive hours their power of germinating is not in any way impaired. Since the above temperature is considerably below that at which ordinary chemical reactions take place, the result is very remarkable and would appear to show that although a state of complete chemical inertness in protoplasm may be established it does not necessarily lead to a destruction of its potential activity. Is this protoplasm thus brought to a "resting" condition to burst into activity on restoring favorable conditions? If so, what becomes of life during this "rest"? These observations are also of interest in connection with the suggestion of Lord Kelvin that the origin of life as we know it may have been extra terrestrial and due to the "moss grown fragments from the ruins of another world" which reached the earth as meteorites. That such fragments might circulate in the intense cold space for a perfectly indefinite period without prejudice to their freight of seeds or spores is, Horace Brown remarks, almost certain from the facts we know about the maintenance of life by "resting" protoplasm. The difficulties in the way of accepting such a hypothesis certainly do not lie in this direction. Here is an interesting problem for biologists, and the development of the question will be followed with the keenest interest. The Popular Fox Terrier. All terriers are good. They are as shrewd, game, loyal small chaps as ever stood upon canine feet or gazed at their owner with soulful, loving eyes, and of them all I prefer the fox terrier, either wire haired or smooth coated. These aristocratic, diminutive gentlemen unquestionably are today the most popular dogs in the wide, wide world, and there are many excellent reasons why this breed was natural that a girl as pretty as should not be long without adornments, so it came to pass that the winery of the old house were lightened up evening, and the Frenchman decided the natural hospitality of his kind gave little dinners and suppers exiled countrymen. But among us was only natural there were was natural that a girl as pretty as should not be long without ad, so it came to pass that the winof the old house were lighted up evening, and the Frenchman dedied the natural hospitality of his and gave little dinners and suppers exiled countrymen. But among as was only natural, there were who existed not by honest indusout by the gaming table. Among was a young man of striking apence who had served in France as officer in a hassar regiment, had the pace, ruined himself, and finaltied out to San Francisco, where came the hanger on of the gambling is Le Marronais was a strikingly some specimen of the Parisian of ass. It did not take him very long in the confidence of the old Frenchand to him he confided the story of life. It was not a very eventful He was a member of an old French y and could use if he pleased which dated back to Charles the He had been ruined by the exgance of his younger brother and then living on the income of a lit- property in Brittany, which he had from the wreck.

He had to take her back to France and state her in the position to whichank entitled her. he ex-hussar won the old man into belief that his only chance of getting through gambling. So night night old Lescant was found at El Dorado or some other gaming posing his money under the direction of the arch mentor.

It is evident from Arrrian and Porphyry that vegetarian orders of men were well known in their time and that they were found in India in the time of Alexandria. They existed in different orders long before the time of Jesus in Egypt, Syria etc., and were known by the names of Essenians. Esennees, Esyana, Coenobiles and Faithists etc., and these on Mount Carmel of whom Ellijah,the prophet was the chief rabbi,based by Pliny were known as Carmelites.

Keep begonias where the air is not too dry, and they will not drop their leaves. In watering house plants sufficient should be given to soak the soil thoroughly. A tree is nearly dormant in winter, especially one that has been lately transplanted. Plants in a dormant state require very little water during the winter, and an excess will cause decay. Drenching rosebushes with strong quassia tea is a good curative of bugs and other destructive insects and pests. To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer full of sand, into which the slips may be set. Keep the sand the consistency of mud. Never give up a decaying rosebush until you have tried watering it two or three times a week with soot tea for a short time. Repotting of plants becomes necessary for two reasons—the plant uses up the available fertility in the soil and fills the pots with roots. To prevent crotched trees from splitting after they come into bearing twist and fasten two small limbs together, and as the stem grows it will prevent splitting. Cuttings of quick growing herbaceous plants, like heliotrope, verbena, phlox, geraniums, root quickly, chrysanthemums quickest of all. Choose cuttings when the plants are most vigorous.
