LOST WATCH AND DIAMONDS Santa Ana Man Parts With Valuables While Treading Primrose Path in Company of Vino Tinto L. H. Padgham, a Santa Ana jeweler, was in town on Saturday "fuller'n a goat," as he himself facetiously expressed it. Padgham has been in this condition before, so it is related, but has thus far escaped arrest or newspaper censure. His latest offense was probably the most flagrant of all, and it is but proper that his prohibition friends at Santa Ana, as well as all others interested, should be made acquainted with the facts of the case. Along about four bells on the midday watch Padgham was seen coming down the starboard quarter with considerable of a tide on. He had evidently been treading the primrose path in company with his bosom friend Vino Tinto, and he rocked and swayed in easy billowy motion upon the sidewalk with the breezes that blew from the sou-southwest. He required all the sidewalk to pass, and pedestrians out for the afternoon were entirely willing that he should have all the sidewalk the law allowed. He took a close-reefed tack into an uptown saloon, which being run by a teetotaler, who seeing the man from darkest Santa Ana had sufficient of a tide on and to spare, refused him further imbibition within the premises. Padgham remonstrated, but the host was adamantine, and as there appeared to be no whistle-wetting in prospect, the Santa Ana man steadied himself for a herculean effort to pilot abaft the wheel-house and out the front door. Here is where a choppy sea intervened. The proprietor of the place, not caring to have a free advertisement such as the Santa Ana man would furnish, forbade him leaving the front door, inasmuch as the sidewalk was lined with women and children, and turning his right flank, turned him right about face and started him out through the back alley door and over the junk heap. Padgham shortly appeared in another part of town having a notable list to port, the hatchway creaking, the hull tossing heavily and the vessel seemingly in a fierce gale. By night- LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST FULLER CASE Attorneys Melrose and Keech were in attendance upon the Riverside superior court some days ago to combat the motion of O. B. Fuller, the water grabber, for a new trial in the case of the Anaheim and Santa Ana water companies. Judge Bledsoe of San Bernardino presided. Fuller's bill of exceptions was overruled by the court, and the motion for new trial was taken under advisement. Fuller's latest contention is that the Durkee ranch is river-bottom land and therefore non-riparian. Inasmuch as Fuller's land is for the most part similarly situated, it is difficult to see how his new contention is going to help him, even if he should succeed in upholding it. Fuller dies hard. EUCHRE CLUB The Fullerton Euchre Club was pleasantly entertained at the cosy home of Mrs. George Wisser last Thursday afternoon. The house was artistically decorated with flowers and potted plants. The parlors were fragrant with roses, and the dining room aglow with sweet peas and roses. The first prize, a silver jewel case, was won by Mrs. Joe Goodman; the consolation, a tiny silver doll carriage containing two tiny dolls, by Mrs. Dr. Rich. Mrs. Wisser was assisted in entertaining by Mrs. Wm. Koeger, and Miss Pauline Kroeger substituted for Miss Berlin. Delicious refreshments were served in the dining room. CABBAGE SHIPMENTS Cabbage shipments from Fullerton foot up eighteen carloads, which makes sixty-five thus far for the season. This will leave about seventy carloads to move out. There has been a further reduction by the California Vegetable Union, and the growers receive only $12.50 a ton. The first week's output sold for $25 a ton, the second week sold for $30 a ton, and last week's output moved at $15 a ton. APRICOT GROWERS A meeting of apricot growers will be held in this city on Saturday for the purpose of discussing the crop outlook, method of buying, prices, etc. Mr. Neff states that shot-hole fungus has destroyed half the crop in the north, CLERK MERRITT'S ANNUAL REPORT Figures Showing Receipts and Disbursements by Municipality During the Year. The annual financial statement of City Clerk Merritt, submitted to the city council at its last meeting, shows that the city is in a sound condition and has had a prosperous year. The actual receipts for the fiscal year ending April 30th were $21,593.17, of which $12,745.06 were collected for lights, license and water, and $6,733 for city taxes. Charging against the city the lights, water, etc., furnished for public purposes, would bring the total receipts to $24,684.97. The total expenses of the year were $24,119.38. At the beginning of the year there was a balance of $4,860.73 in the treasury, and at the end of the year a balance of $2,336.52. The statistics of the city water and light plant make a favorable showing. The total receipts for water from all sources were $4,738.40, and the approximate expenditures $4,730.10, leaving a surplus of $8.30. The receipts for lights from all sources were $6,775.17, and approximate expenditures $6,374.81, leaving a net surplus of $400.36. In receipts for water and lights are included charges against the city for water and lights used, and in expenditures are included new work done, interest and redemption fund, five per cent. depreciation on plant, etc. During the year new work was done on the water system to the amount of $1,474.50, and on the electric light system to the amount of $1,813.87. The total expenditures on public streets for the year were $9,083.07, this including water and lights. The report shows that during the year many streets have been graded and oiled and a large number of young trees set out. During the year $3,011.50 were paid out for interest and redemption, leaving the total bonded indebtedness of the city at present at $26,275. The value of real estate and improvements owned by the city is placed at $44,865. Without Food or Water A suspicious-looking outfit drove into town on Tuesday evening which threw timid women and small children into hysteria. The outfit consisted of a light spring wagon drawn by two Here is where a choppy sea intervened. The proprietor of the place, not caring to have a free advertisement such as the Santa Ana man would furnish, forbade him leaving the front door, inasmuch as the sidewalk was lined with women and children, and turning his right flank, turned him right about face and started him out through the back alley door and over the junk heap. Padgham shortly appeared in another part of town having a notable list to port, the hatchway creaking, the hull tossing heavily and the vessel seemingly in a fierce gale. By nightfall he was squally and he does not know into what port he steered for shelter for the night. The next morning Padgham reported the loss of a gold watch and chain, diamond stud and ring, the whole valued at probably $200. He is under the impression that he was touched by some light fingered gentry while snoozing in Booze ally, but the officers have no clew to the blue-exed vampire who "done" it. Padgham is a rampant prohibit at Santa Ana, but when he arrives in Anaheim he seems to be immediately seized with a disposition to drink up all the beer in town. This purpose is to be commended, but Mr. Padgham's tank capacity seems to be inadequate to the demand, and his hide mops the sidewalk with a pronounced starboard list. When last seen Sunday morning he was hiking home on his bicycle, which seemed to buck occasionally and unseat the man from darkest Santa Ana. New Stamps A new series of postage stamps has been issued by the government commemorative of the St. Louis exposition. A number have been received by Postmaster Littlefield and are now on sale at the postoffice. The one cent stamp is green; subject, Robert R. Livingston, United States Minister to France, who conducted the negotiations for the Louisiana purchase. Two-cent, red: Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States at the time of the purchase. Three-cent, purple; James Monroe, special Ambassador to France in the matter of the purchase, who with Livingston closed the negotiations. Five-cent, blue William McKinley, who as President of the United States approved the acts of Congress officially connecting the United States government with the commemorative exposition. Ten-cent, brown; United States map showing the territory of the purchase. In the Collision Herman Stern was a passenger on the local accommodation evening train to Los Angeles on Wednesday evening last, following Conductor Leonard's through San Diego flyer which was in collision with a Whittier electric car at Los Nietos crossing. Capt. Stern says when he arrived at the scene of the wreck the scene was one of intense will leave about seventy carloads to move out. There has been a further reduction by the California Vegetable Union, and the growers receive only $12.50 a ton. The first week's output sold for $25 a ton, the second week sold for $30 a ton, and last week's output moved at $15 a ton. APRICOT GROWERS A meeting of apricot growers will be held in this city on Saturday for the purpose of discussing the crop outlook, method of buying, prices, etc. Mr. Neff states that shot-hole fungus has destroyed half the crop in the north, but that prospects in Orange county are for a full crop. Weather conditions have been favorable for apricots and other fruits in this section and crops promise to be large and of fine appearance. Marriage At the residence of Bird V. Beebe, yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, his brother, Dr. J. Lee Beebe of Lake county, was joined in wedlock to Miss Hetty Eva Poapst of Rochester, Canada. Rev. Chapman officiated in his usual felicitous manner, and Mrs. Chapman played the wedding march. The newly married couple left on the afternoon train for the north, where the honeymoon will be spent. MISSION BEGINS Father Nugent will preach the opening sermon at St. Boniface church on Sunday morning, the event being the opening of a week's mission at the church. Father Nugent will be assisted by Father Moshart, and Father Dubble of the local parish will also be in attendance. Services will be held morning and evening during the week. An invitation is extended to all to attend the meetings. A letter has been received from the Southwestern Commerce Company of Fort Worth, Tex., showing that there is an active demand in the East for California cabbage. The price from April 20 to April 30 on choice south Texas cabbage ranged from $2.40 to $2.50 per hundredweight. The company writes that the freight rate is only 22 cents per hundredweight in carload lots, and the iceing charges are about $25 a car. The market May 5 was $2.35, plus other charges above mentioned. A letter has also been received from E.C. McCarthy, merchandise broker, Oklahoma City, Okla., under date of May 6, saying that as the Texas supply of cabbage is exhausted he will have to look elsewhere for this product, and is anxious to have Orange County parties ship to him. Robert Warren a printer, well known in Orange county died at a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday after an illness of several days, due to blood poisoning. Warren engaged in a fight at Ocean Park a week ago with one Tom Brown and was struck in the face, which was cut. Blood poisoning set in and he failed to recover. Warren was intoxicated at the time of the fight. Brown was exonerated by the coroner's jury. Without Food or Water A suspicious-looking outfit drove into town on Tuesday evening which threw timid women and small children into hysterics. The outfit consisted of a light spring wagon drawn by two mules. There were two occupants in the rig, and their suspicious looks resulted as above related. As a call for the police was about to be sent in, a closer inspection revealed the fact that the occupants were none other than Ed Zeus and Hugh Smith, who for six weeks past have been lost on the desert. They had been without food or water for eight days, and were at once directed to the town pump. They were armed to the teeth, but declared they had not held up anybody and were later permitted to proceed to their homes, where a joyful reception was tendered them. The boys have turned gypsies, and announce their intention of leaving for the Yosemite on a hunting and fishing trip. They will remain in town a few days and will then strike out for the Yosemite, where several months will be passed. It is to be hoped that after this trip they will return home, settle down and once more become staid and proper members of society. Fine Looker. The new plate glass front of Stern's stors is being given the finishing touches, and will soon be fitted up with one of handsomest displays of goods in the county. Carpenters and cement men are through and the painters are busy giving the finishing touches. The windows, together with the main entrances cover a frontage of fifty feet, admitting a plenty of light into the premises, which will be rearranged and remodeled throughout. An arc light is suspended over the main entrance. Altogether the new front is one of the handsomest in Southern California. FISH MARKET A.J.Addington, recently of Bolsa, has opened a fish market at 143 South Los Angeles street, and will this morning have on sale the best line of fish ever offered in this city. He will procure these piscatorial delicacies from Newport Beach, Pacific City and San Diego, and states none but fresh fish will be offered. He will have no cold-storage truck from Los Angeles, which has been recently peddled in town, deleterious as it is to health, and contrary to regulations of the health board. Mr.Addington is an experienced fisherman and seems to be entitled to the patronage of the public. Beside his market he will also run a delivery wagon. APPORTIONMENT OF SCHOOL In the Collision Herman Stern was a passenger on the local accommodation evening train to Los Angeles on Wednesday evening last, following Conductor Leonard's through San Diego flyer which was in collision with a Whittier electric car at Los Nietos crossing. Capt. Stern says when he arrived at the scene of the wreck the scene was one of intense confusion, and although no one was killed outright several passengers on the car as well as on the train were badly injured. A delay of three hours resulted. John Brunworth was also a passenger on the accommodation train. He was on his way to the St. Louis exposition, his train leaving for the East at 8 o'clock that evening. Mr. Brunworth went into Los Angeles on an electric car, as did also Capt. Stern, and caught his train without further mishap. ELECTRIC GRADERS The force of graders at work for the Pacific Electric company at Anaheim Landing was moved this week to Bolsa Chica, where they are now in camp. Rails have been laid to Anaheim Landing bay, where work is now in progress on the bridge spanning the channel. Cars will be running to Pacific City some time next month.

April 28-tf Robert Warren a printer, well known in Orange county died at a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday after an illness of several days, due to blood poisoning. Warren engaged in a fight at Ocean Park a week ago with one Tom Brown and was struck in the face, which was cut. Blood poisoning set in and he failed to recover. Warren was intoxicated at the time of the fight. Brown was exonerated by the coroner's jury, it being shown Warren was the aggressor. The dead man was well connected, his relatives residing at Sacramento. He had a wife and child, but had not lived at home during several years. Will Mauerhan has been on a trip through Fresno county and other points north. In the former locality he found the thermometer hovering about the 100 mark, the weather being close and oppressively warm. He considers this valley the finest in the country climatically as well as otherwise, and believes that in five years time the rest of the country will so consider it. It enjoys the best climate on earth, free from the chills of winter and oppressive heat of summer alike. The afternoon's seabreeze he considers a never-ending delight, and this he missed in the region about Fresno and contiguous counties. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Pendleton of Placentia entertained in honor of their daughter, Miss Bessie, on Friday evening, it being the occasion of her eighteenth birthday. A number of friends were invited from Fullerton and Placentia. The evening was delightfully spent in games and music, after which refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake and candy, were served by host and hostess. Many presents were received by Miss Bessie, demonstrating the esteem in which she is held by her many friends. At a late hour the guests departed for their homes with best wishes for many happy returns of the day.

This week it is reported that all but two property owners signed contracts for right of way. These are non-residents, and on Monday a committee left for San Francisco to interview them concerning easements. It is understood that if right-of-way be procured, the force of graders at work on the electric line now operating near Bolsa Chica will be transferred to Smeltzer as soon as the electric roadbed is graded to a junction with the road at Newport Beach.

William Dougherty was in town on Tuesday on a business trip. He has rented the Rearden ranch two miles south of the city, which is set to walnuts and oranges. A large pumping plant furnishes an abundance of water. Mr. Dougherty is an experienced orchardist and will doubtless make a success of his enterprise. Mrs. M. L. Bagley and I. W. Van Cleave, well-known residents of Santa Ana, were married in that town last week by Rev. Francis Davies of the First Congregational Church. The ceremony was performed at the new home which bride and groom are to occupy. The ceremony was followed by an informal social hour during which guests tendered congratulations. John P. Cox, the alleged forger who was arrested Saturday at Buena Park on a warrant sworn out in Arizona, has notified Sheriff Lacy that he will waive all right to extradition papers and return at the earliest possible time to Phoenix to stand trial. Sheriff W. A. Cook wired that he will come at once for the prisoner, who is in the County jail. Prof. J. B. Nichols attended the biennial state convention of school superintendents at Santa Barbara last week. Several changes in school laws were recommended to the legislature. It is proposed to lower the basis of one teacher to seventy pupils to one teacher to sixty pupils. The subject of vaccination occasioned a lively debate, the opinion of the majority being that the responsibility should rest with the local boards of health and not with the school boards. Charging tuition fees at high schools was severely condemned and the present law upheld. William Trapp has completed one of the largest pumping plants in this end of the county. It is operated by a 60-horse-power gasoline engine, and it is estimated that the pump will lift at least 120 inches of water. The water is drawn from only two wells, which are 110 feet deep. The plant is one-half mile east of town. A careful estimate recently made shows that there are over 150 pumping plants now operated in the country surrounding An- LOOKING GLASSES. Backed With Pure Silver Now stead of With Mercury. "How is a looking glass made?" was question recently put by a writer to a manufacturer of mirrors in New York. "Well," replied the manufacturer "most of the glass used in this tray prepared for us at a molding factory; we merely cut, bevel and silver it in works. All the bevels are out in one way—first with sand and water, then an emery wheel and afterward put three several processes to bring back the pot." "Great improvements have been made in this line of business in the last 16 years." Formerly it took two or three days to finish the time work was begun on a mirror before it could be finished. Nowadays can get the glass in the morning and into a looking glass perfectly finished and ready for sale before night. We need all sizes, from the smallest hand glass 8 by 4 inches to a mirror 10 by 20 feet even larger, and we have a capable turning out 8,000 feet a day. "Not many years ago the backs of our glasses were coated with mercury." She sheets of pure silver are used instead; old looking glass reflected 60 or 65 percent of the light that fell upon it; the most mirror reflects nearly 95 per cent. mercury looking glass was very liable rub off. Heat and cold also affected. The quicksilver would crack or melt; thus the beauty of the glass would spoiled. None of these dangers threaten the silver mirror. Besides mirror those engaged in this line of business—a great deal of beveled glass for doors windows. In fine buildings this is largely taking the place of stained glass." —Washington Star. FAT WIVES. The people in portions of Africa have many curious customs and superstitious among the former may be mentioned—the fashion of having fat wives.Ben introduced to a great chief's wife, Spur thus describes her: "I was struck with her extraordinary dimensions, yet please beauty, of the immoderately fat fair girl She could not rise, and so large were arms that she flesh between the joins dung down like large, loose, stuffed pings.The chief, pointing to his said: 'This is the product of our pots From early youth we keep them pots to their mouths, as it is the fashion at court to have very fat wives.'" daughter of the king sat before me sitting at a milk pot, at which the father kept her at work by holding the rod in hand, for as fattening is the first duty their fashionable feminine life it must duly enforced by the rod if found necessary."

Mr. Morton is building a large barn, tankhouse and windmill on his place west of town, and will begin the erection of a new residence in the near future. The Union Oil Company has been "fishing" the past two months for two sets of tools which were lost in the bottom of well No. 30, which is down 1600 feet. Mrs. Stroben of San Bernardino, sister of Jake Vetter, came over on Tuesday, accompanied by her little daughter, to spend a short visit with relatives and friends. W. W. Scott is erecting a twelve-horse-power pumping plant at his place southwest of town, and will lift about forty inches of water. The plant will cost nearly $2000.

Webb, two artistic decorators with the paint brush, have been engaged during the week with varnishing a number of new Irish Relations. A curious peculiarity of the Irish nature is the wide limits to which relationship is extended. "Do you know Pat Mechan?" a peasant was asked. "Of course I do," was the answer. "Why, he's a near relative of mine." He wance proposed for my sisister Kate." When faction fighting was rife in Ireland, it was a man's interest to "incrase his followin" by extending the number of his relatives by every possible device. Happily faction fighting is dead in Ireland, and a man has no need now to have behind him a long line not of "ancestors," as Sir Boyle Roche would say, but of "relations," as was responsible should rest with the local boards of health and not with the school boards. Charging tuition fees at high schools was severely condemned and the present law upheld. William Trapp has completed one of the largest pumping plants in this end of the county. It is operated by a 60-horse-power gasoline engine, and it is estimated that the pump will lift at least 120 inches of water. The water is drawn from only two wells, which are 110 feet deep. The plant is one-half mile east of town. A careful estimate recently made shows that there are over 150 pumping plants now operated in the country surrounding Anaheim, and on an average two new plants are started every week. Fritz Grunemay received a letter on Saturday from Fritz Ruhman, written from Washington where Mr. Ruhman and party, consisting of his niece, Mrs. Peter Syre and Carl Pressel, spent a day sight-seeing and procuring passports before leaving for New York to take passage on the steamer Pennsylvania for Hamburg. The party sailed for New York on Saturday morning and expect to arrive at Hamburg on Monday or Tuesday next. Mr. Ruhman writes all are well and in excellent spirits. Sabbath Worship is usually conducted at the public church, where visitors from the world are free to attend," writes Madeline S. Bridges of the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N.Y., in The Ladies' Home Journal. "Four sisters and four brethren stand in the center of the room and form a double quartet. The Shaker dance, so miscalled, is in reality a more or less stately march, in which all the members join—the brethren in a procession, two by two, followed by the sisterhood in like order. They move in step to the hymns they are singing, either slowly or quickly, as the measure of the time demands. The ritual is of the simplest—testimony of faith fervently uttered by those who feel impelled to speak, a few earnest words of exhortation from the elders, the march and the singing of hymns. "Something curious in regard to these Shaker hymns is the fact that they are claimed to be largely inspirational—the music and words come together 'at gifts,' and frequently to those who are not musical. For instance, very often a tap will sound on the door of a musical sister and an unmusical sister will enter with the announcement, 'Sister, a song has just come to me.' Can you take the words and note it for me?" A Small Beginning. Long before the Revolution a young printer in Philadelphia, when he taken off his working apron at night used to sit poring over his dozen of volumes by firelight.

"Do you know Pat Meehan?" a peasant was asked. "Of course I do," was the answer. "Why, he's a near relative of mine. He wance proposed for my sister Kate." When faction fighting was rife in Ireland, it was a man's interest to "incrase his followin" by extending the number of his relatives by every possible device. Happily faction fighting is dead in Ireland, and a man has no need now to have behind him a long line not of "ancestors," as Sir Boyle Roche would say, but of "relations," as was imperatively necessary when the "bboys" were accustomed to "hould discussion with sticks" at every fair. It is after he is dead that his relatives "come in handy" to the Irishman. They give him a "grand buryin." "Well, Mary," said a friend of mine to a domestic who had been attending a "buryin," "had Mat Maloney a good funeral?" "Oh, he had a grate wan, sir," said Mary. "An why wouldn't he? Wasn't he related to the whole barony? Faith, it reminded me of land 'lague meetin.'"—Letter in Lecon Spectator But, even worse than official incompetency, those who provided the supplies were tainted with perculation and fraud, says Charles Kendall Adams in The Atlantic.

Again and again Washington pleaded with congress and with the chief officers of the individual states. In appealing to President Reed of Pennsylvania on the 12th of December, 1778, to bring those whom he calls the "murderers of our cause""to condign punishment," he unbridled his passion and sent these energetic words: "I would to God that one of the most atrocious in each state were hung on a gallows five times as high as the one prepared by Haman." The situation seemed so desperate that only six days later he wrote to Benjamin Harrison, the speaker of the house of delegates of Virginia, "As there can be no harm in a pious wish for the good of one's country I shall offer it as mine that each state will not only choose but compel its ablest motto attend congress."
