Ruse by Which He Escaped Arrest and Had His Debts Paid. Many amusing stories are told of Joe Haines, a comedian of the time of Charles II., sometimes called "Count" Haines. It is said that he was arrested one morning by two balliffs for a debt of £20, when he saw a bishop to whom he was related passing along in his coach. With ready resource he immediately saw a loophole for escape, and turning to the men, he said, "Let me speak to his lordship, to whom I am well known, and he will pay the debt and your charges into the bargain." The balliffs thought they might venture this, as they were within two or three yards of the coach, and acceded to the request. Joe boldly advanced and took off his hat to the bishop. His lordship ordered the coach to stop, when Joe whispered to the divine that the two men were suffering from such scruples of conscience that he feared they would hang themselves, suggesting that his lordship should invite them to his house and promise to satisfy them. The bishop agreed, and calling to the balliffs, he said, "You two men come to me tomorrow morning, and I will satisfy you." The men bowed and went away pleased, and early the next day waited on his lordship, who, when they were ushered in, said, "Well, my men, what are these scruples of conscience?" "Scruples?" replied one of them. "We have no scruples! We are balliffs, my lord, who yesterday arrested your cousin, Joe Haines, for a debt of £20, and your lordship kindly promised to satisfy us." The trick was strange, but the result was stranger, for his lordship, either appreciating its cleverness or considering himself bound by the promise he had unintentionally given, there and then settled with the men in full.

Once upon a time a man afflicted with annual attacks of hay fever was walking in the city with a friend. “This is about the time when my trouble should begin,” he said. “A wisp of hay or the down of a peach would now start me and send me to the mountains for relief.” Just then a grass widow passed him, and the man sneezed most vociferously. “You are indeed sensitive,” said his friend.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1903. Editorial Note and Comment The esteemed Bunghole of Fullerton raises its feeble voice in protest to the rule of the water board in excluding newspaper reporters, it having taken it half a year to arrive at this sensible conclusion. No one knows better than the Bunghole man that this new-fangled rule of the water board, which was passed at the behest of the Sherwood-Sheppard-Hale combination, was designed for no other purpose than to shut out from its meetings the reporter of this newspaper. Mr. Hale himself said as much in a communication to the Bunghole, at the time of the adoption of the new-fangled order, and he took occasion to pat the Bunghole on the back, as well as its neighbor, the News, for their "fair and impartial" reports of proceedings of the meetings; whereas his references to this newspaper were not ladylike at all; and all because we had dared tell the truth about him and his combination; about his thwacking the table to emphasize his boisterous utterances; about Mr. Sheppard looking for gravel on the site of the proposed Yorba reservoir; about Mr. Sherwood's daring leap for life in the flying trapeze in the matter of the same structure. At this time, if we mistake not, the Bunghole man, and the News man too gave voice to approval of the board's order, and if memory serves, they said, each speaking to the same effect as the other, that such re-then turning his back upon it and helping to knock it in the head in the end? Oh, fudge, were ever things so mirth-provoking, so excruciatingly funny, suffered to exist, with the stockholder paying the freight? Open up the meetings, let us have no suppression of news, no censored reports of these board meetings. We are not yet in Russia. The boys are talking about candidates for United States Senator, and names mentioned include those of Senator Bard, who is off to Europe for a summer's trip, Henry E. Huntington, Editor Earl of the Express, Gen. Otis of the Times, ex-Governor Gage, Sugar-maker Oxnard, U. S. Grant of San Diego and numerous others. This is all rery well—these are all excellent gentlemen; but if we are going to talk politics at all, what interests us most is, not who is going to be United States Senator (it doesn't take much of a prophet to guess who'll be that), but rather, who is going to be our state senator to succeed Mr. Caldwell. This distinguished gentleman comes over from Riverside on the Fourth to deliver the day's oration to our patriotic people; and I'm not going to say a word against him, for he is a good fellow and his record is all right. But with Captain Daniels from Riverside, should not our political friends to the east be satisfied, for a time at least, in giving Orange county a chance at the state senatorship. We have candidates aplenty and any way there is nothing much to say at this time of the year; and so I am saying nothing as we go along, the only desideratum being to fill these three columns and jump into the automobile awaiting us outside and be off to the coast for a turn at the mullet which are gamier and fatter and more juicy than ever. So what is here written might be taken seriously or not; but as to Guy—well, his appointment as bank commissioner would be a blooming political outrage. Guy is a good chappie personally, and some people say he has the appointment as good as tucked away in the inside of his political carpet-bag, which is already labeled Sacramento. But he has been a Democrat all his life, has participated in the fruits of Democratic victory, and has been a warrior bold in the inner councils of that party for years. He has carried off many a fat political plum in that carpet-bag now yawning for the bank commissionership. Guy some time ago turned his political coat, but is the same good fellow as of yore, yet is no more entitled to this appointment than I am—and that's saying a whole lot. And I think Pardee is onto his job all right, all right, and that Guy will be holding the bag a long time after the appointments of commissioners are made. Just watch and see what kind of a political prophet I am. It has been decided that California's building at the St. Louis exposition will be constructed in the mission style of architecture. Commissioners Filcher and Wiggins have arrived in the exposition city At this time, if we mistake not, the Bunghole man, and the News man too gave voice to approval of the board's order, and if memory serves, they said, each speaking to the same effect as the other, that such reports of the board's meetings as appeared in these columns were not such as stockholders cared about, and that sort of thing. The News had made a practice of copying such parts of our reports as it dared to publish, yet Mr. Hale oatted it on the back for being a nice boy and saying nothing naughty. And so the matter has rested until the present moment, but there is going to be a change. The editor of this paper was long ago offered a share of stock, at the hands of numerous stockholders, so that he might be enabled to attend board meetings in despite of the new-fangled order; but he refused the offer, for the reason that he did not care to attend these meetings in the guise of a man looking for rottenness and skull duggery. Not that such exists, to be sure, but the fact remains, just the same, that the reporter of this paper was excluded—for what? For telling the perpendicular truth, for hewing to the line, whether the chips, falling, gave Mr. Sherwood a close shave or trimmed Boss Crowther's whiskers too short on one side. And this serial story is going to be taken up again, for much has happened during the interregnum. What about Mr. Eaton's $1500 report, which was never published, and in which, if current reports be true, he advised the construction of a $75,000 tunnel above the Narrows? What does Mr. Sherwood think of the feasibility of this tunnel, and what per cent of its cost would go to the engineer? Does the board approve of the plan, as suggested by Eaton, to expend $75,000 for constructing this tunnel in order to save, forsooth, some thirty inches of water—not to speak of the additional expense of purchasing the rights of intervening irrigators. And why should the board expend $5000 of the stockholders' money for a reservoir site, and then pay an exorbitant figure to have it condemned? Where do the stockholders get off in all these acts of ground and lofty tumbling? But with Captain Daniels from Riverside, should not our political friends to the east be satisfied, for a time at least, in giving Orange county a chance at the state senatorship. We have candidates aplenty if you can believe reports that simmer out of the political pot, which, though not yet beginning to boil, throws out a desultory puff now and then. Yes, there are candidates in Orange county for the place. About the richest thing I have heard in this connection was the statement printed some time ago, to the effect that Capt. Daniels would resign his office after serving a single term. A private underground wire from Riverside, promptly denying the report as absurd, reached me a day or two afterward, but I was traveling in the Baltic sea at the time, and gave never a single moment time to politics hereabouts. Not on your life. But did you ever hear of a congressman resigning? With Orange county supporting Daniels, what's the matter with Riverside supporting an Orange county man to represent the district composed of the two counties in the upper house of the legislature? But it's too early to talk politics, and I'm not going to say one single word against Caldwell. He's going to have the freedom of this city extended to him on the Fourth. and if I see him on that day I'm going to have a heart-to-heart talk with him and tell him that if he gets the nomination I'll throw up my hat for him higher than any one in Riverside, except Steve Kelly. Now comes the report that Governor Pardee is regarded as available timber for the vice-presidential nomination. Why not? The governor has shown that he has good political stuff in him, and he is giving us one of the clearest-headed administrations the state has had in many years. I always did have a liking for Pardee from the time I used to see him eating luncheon at a cheap down-town restaurant on Montgomery street. For the governor is of the people, plainer than they make a great many men who aspire to be the state's chief executive. And this feeling which I entertain for him has grown and been saying a whole lot. And I think Pardee is onto his job all right, all right, and that Guy will be holding the bag a long time after the appointments of commissioners are made. Just watch and see what kind of a political prophet I am. It has been decided that California's building at the St. Louis exposition will be constructed in the mission style of architecture. Commissioners Filcher and Wiggins have arrived in the exposition city and have been entertained at lunchon by President Francis. Both commissioners are experienced exposition men. Filcher had charge of the California display at Atlanta; at Hamburg, Germany, where the California exhibit was the only one from the United States; at Paris, in 1900, and at Buffalo, in 1901. Wiggins had charm of the exhibit of Southern California at Chicago, Atlanta, Omaha and Buffalo. In addition to the appropriation of $130,000, which California has made, the commission has at its command a number of fine permanent exhibits. Among these is the splendid collection of state mining bureau. The chief display of the state will be in agriculture, horticulture, mining and forestry. State exhibits in arts and education will be maintained by the commission and individual exhibitors will make displays in all other exhibit departments. The commission will maintain a display in its state building. Advices have been received from Catania which say the citrus fruit industry of Italy has been for a long time in a deplorable condition. During the last five years it has been getting worse, and lemons that a few seasons past commanded $2.90 per 1000 on the trees are now hard to market at 58 cents. Three mass meetings have been held, at one of which it was estimated over 50,000 people were present, and the Italian government has been asked to obtain favorable treatment of citrus products in new commercial conventions; to see that the customs exemptions in Austria be retained, and that better tariff rates be obtained from the United States and Russia. In New York fruit circles lately the system of selling fruit by auction has been severely criticised, and the est blishment of the old method of private contracts between representatives and buyers has been urged. The trade lemon juice and essence has also been the subject approve of the plan, as suggested by Eaton, to expend $75,000 for constructing this tunnel in order to save, forsooth, some thirty inches of water—not to speak of the additional expense of purchasing the rights of intervening irrigators. And why should the board expend $5000 of the stockholders' money for a reservoir site, and then pay an exorbitant figure to have it condemned? Where do the stockholders get off in all these acts of ground and lofty tumbling? We do not countenance the suppression of a single item of news by the secretary of the water company, or by the directors, whether it be on the expense account, or whether the stockholders' leg is about to be pulled on another reservoir, or a $75,000 tunnel. Years ago irrigators used to 'jump stiff-legged whenever reference was made to the possibility of the absorption of the company by a private corporation; and irrigators would probably still execute the same gymnastic evolutions at mention of the same project. And there is no probability of any recurrence of this talk, but it is doubtful if a corporation presided over by men of brains and level-headed sagacity would not have saved money, as compared with expenditure of the present board, in many a notable instance in recent years. What would be said of a private corporation which, after paying $5000 for a piece of property, disbursed an additional $1500 for an expert's opinion which ran to the effect that the same was valueless for the purposes for which it was purchased? What would be said of one of the leading spirits of the directorate first fighting vigorously the construction of one important piece of field work, then switching around and warmly favoring it, and political stuff in him, and he is giving us one of the clearest-headed administrations the state has had in many years. I always did haye a liking for Pardee from the time I used to see him eating luncheon at a cheap down-town restaurant on Montgomery street. For the governor is of the people, plainer than they make a great many men who aspire to be the state's chief executive. And this feeling which I entertain for him has grown and been augmented from the time Walter Melick took off his coat, in the Sacramento convention last fall and wildly waving it over his devoted head, while standing upon his chair and yelling like a gang of Pasadena high-school youngsters, helped break the convention to the Alameda man. Melick was in town the other day, but hopped in and hopped out before I had my breakfast, and so I had not the pleasure of seeing him and talking about Walter Parker. Yet if Pardee prefers a renomination as governor, to being vice-president, I don't see how the politicians can stop him; for he comes about as near pleasing all sides as any man who ever had an office in the capitol. Pardee can have anything he wants, so long as he doesn't appoint Guy Barham to be bank commissioner. Pardee is giving us a wise and statesman-like administration, and if he wishes a place on the ticket with Roosevelt, that settles it so far as we of Southern California are concerned. "Roosevelt and Pardee" sounds about right. The platform "The Atlantic and Pacific, one country, one flag, now and forever." How's that for a vote getter? These June-time political writers are usually employed to say nothing, in New York fruit circles lately the system of selling fruit by auction has been severely criticised, and the est blishment of the old method of private contracts between representatives and buyers has been urged. The trade lemon juice and essence has also been the subject of much discussion. The average annual production of the former varies from 12,000 to 13,000 pipes, and of the latter from 1,400,000 to 1,600,000 pounds. It is purposed to form a monopoly of this industry, which, it is said, could be done with a capital of $965,000. PROF. RALPH E. SMITH of the agricultural department of the University of California has laid out a campaign of war against asparagus rust that will occupy the summer months. The field of operations will be near Milpitas, Alameda county, where the asparagus industry is largest. As spraying has been found too expensive, Prof. Smith proposes to try the Bordeaux mixture, a compound of lime and copper phosphate, applied in powdered form. Prof Smith has battled with the disease in the East and believes it can be stamped out in California. DURING the last week the weather in Nevada county has been extremely cold. The thermometer has gone below freezing point several times. As a result the entire crop of nuts has been ruined. The Persians say: "Patience is a tree roots of which are very bitter and the fruit very sweet." June 1903. Gazette. NUMBER 35 WAY THERE IS NOTHING MUCH THIS TIME OF THE YEAR; AND SAYING NOTHING AS WE GO ONLY DESIERATUM BEING THE THREE COLUMNS AND JUMPING A VEHICLE AWAITING US AND BE OFF TO THE COAST FOR A MULLET WHICH ARE GAMIER AND MORE JOICY THAN EVER. THIS HERE WRITTEN MIGHT BE FOLLOWSLY OR NOT; BUT AS TO HIS APPOINTMENT AS BANK INNER WOULD BE A Blooming Outrage. Guy is a good Personally, and some People In The Appointment As Good Way In The Inside Of His Carpet-Bag, Which Is Allied Sacramento. But He Democrat All His Life, Has Lived In The fruits Of Demo-ocracy, And Has Been A Warrior In The Inner Councils Of That Years. He Has Carried Off That Political Plum In That Now Yawning For The Missionership. Guy Some Returned His Political Coat, The Same Good Fellow As Of This No More Entitled To This Grant Than I Am—and That's Whole Lot. And I Thinkonto His Job All Right, All That Guy Will Be Holding Long Time After The Appeals Of Commissioners Are Just Watch And See What Political Prophet I Am. BEEN DECIDED THAT CALIFORNIA AT THE St. Louis Exhibit Be Constructed In The Style Of Architecture. Com-Filcher And Wiggins Added In The Exposition City JOHN DILLON, REFUGEE FROM CLIMATIC EXTREMES Comes From Canada To Enjoy Life In the Balmy Atmosphere Of Southern California. John Dillon and wife arrived from Ontario, Canada, some days ago and have taken a cottage on Philadelphia street, where they will probably remain until Mr. Dillon purchases a walnut ranch hereabout. They were nine days on the trip, having been detained in Nebraska and other States by washouts, and a day or two was lost by disabled engines. Mr. Dillon has been a reader of this journal for many years, and like others who have come hither by reason of what they saw in these columns about the glorious county we live in, is here for the purpose of purchasing a place and making a home. He is an expert pearl-button manufacturer, but will probably go into walnut culture and vine growing. He has heard of the profits attending horticulture in this favored land, and although not a practical farmer, is persuaded that he can not be far wrong in taking up the industry, if perseverance and a plenty of energy will succeed. Others have succeeded with less qualifications, and here, where nature holds out such pleasing prospects of abundance, he is satisfied to cast his lot. Mr. Dillon is a gentleman of pleasant address, and we hope he may be able to secure a ranch in every way fitted to his purposes. Extremes of hot and cold weather in the Dominion have made of him and his excellent wife refugees, whose hopes here in Southern California, where the mercury is never altitudinous, nor vet descends to 50 below zero, as it does in Canada. Mr. Dillon looks for the arrival in the near future of his father-in-law, LAURA IN UNDRESS UNIFORM Harry Walker Burst Into Her Room, Where David Tharpe was in Bed—Shooting Scrape Visitors at Santa Ana during the week tell of a sensational case which has occupied the court at the county seat for some time past. The case is one in which Harry Walker is charged by David Tharpe with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. The affray occurred at the residence of Mrs. Laura Jones, a woman who has hitherto borne a good reputation, as such things go; at least nobody suspected she was quite so bad as she is. She lives between Santa Ana and Tustin. Walker seems to have been paying her court, and is said left his wife and family to consort with her. Recently David Tharpe appeared upon the scene and appears to have supplanted Walker in the woman's affections. Both, it appears, exerted themselves to the utmost in leading the lady from the path of rectitude, and Tharpe, as a result, came near losing his life thereby. Some evenings ago Walker went to Santa Ana and hunting up Coroner Smith informed him there was a dead man at Mrs. Jones' house, and that he (Walker) was the man who had done the shooting. Smith hitched up the dead-wagon, but when he arrived at the place, he found no corpse, the nearest approach to that article of commerce being Tharpe with several gunshot wounds in his head, and a badly scared woman. Walker was the next day placed under arrest on a charge of assault to kill, and the case has been on in court during the week. Mrs. Jones proved to be the star witness, detailing the circumstances of the night of the attempted killing minute. According to one leading Santa Ana citizen who was present at the trial in the guise of a spectator Tharpe. been decided that Californing at the St. Louis exile be constructed in the style of architecture. Commissioners are experienced at lunch-resident Francis. Commissioners are experienced at lunch-resident Francis.

Extremes of hot and cold weather in the Dominion have made him and his excellent wife refugees, whose hopes lies here in Southern California, where the mercury is never altitudinous, nor yet descends to 50 below zero, as it does in Canada. Mr. Dillon looks for the arrival in the near future of his father-in-law, who is an experienced horticulturalist, and on his arrival may go extensively into walnuts, oranges and grapes. Mr. Dillon is accompanied by his wife and eleven-year-old daughter. Warning to Hunters The Orange County Fish and Game Protective association is doing its utmost to enforce the game laws and in order that every one may be posted as to the open season has had a number of signs printed on cloth for posting on hunting grounds. The warning reads as follows: BEWARE OF ARREST. Twenty-five dollars reward will be paid for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person catching, destroying or having in his possession any fish or game when out of season, or possessing or collecting birds' eggs at any time.
