DAILY jH ERA LD.
A "Herald" >ian Visits t|ie
Wasnlnajton Warden Farm.
Washington Garden was visited yes
terday afternoon by a vast tbrong of
paople who had been lured there by the
tempting advertisements published by
j its proprietors, nnd if they came there
tor pKuaiiie iiiey WH% uoi disappointed
as an excellent programme had barn
provided. Menu's military band elis>
coursed sweet music to eutertaiu the
ear, while for visual pleasure the /.oolog
ical collection furnished ample satifac
tion. One of the most charming
features of this popular resort is the
aviary which contains a choice and
varied selection of birds, most of which
have been obtained from China and the
East Indies. Of conrse the ostriches
formed the principal attraction and the
courtly proprietors were kept busy
answering the many questions pro
pounded by curious and interested
visitors. The plumage on the birds is
rapidly approaching that stage when
they will be shorn to supply the re
quirements of those who consider
ostrich feathers "the thing,'' in fact one
of the birds was plucked yesterday and
another will probably undergo the
ordeal to-day. It will be two months
more though before the majority of the
feathers are iv the stage of required lit
ness and then the proprietors expect to
reap a handsome revenue for their en
terprise. The averaee gross receipts
from each bird is $.100 every seven
months, about 50 large plumes being ob
tained from the wings and about IS
ounces of body feathers. One wing
feather alone was stated to have been
sold for $io. The incubator, manufac
tured at Petaluma, is in full blast and in
six weeks more a brood of chicks is ex
pected. It is kept at an uniform tem
perature of 103 , and as each full grown
bird is worth about $1000 there is no
doubt but that all the vigilance possible
is being observed, As a curious fact
j about tbe endurance of the ostrich as
applied to its powers of abstemiousness,
j it was stated by tbe proprietors that one
of the birds, at present on view, went
without any food whatever during six
| weeks of its transit from Africa here.
THE TRAMP.
Familiar Figure on Los
Angeles Streets.
HE IS OPPOSED TO WORK
If He Labors He Thinks His Life
is in Dancer.—One Way
of Living. ■
One of the worst pests of modern civ
ilization is the geous tramp. He is the
psrish of society, a wanderer who goeth
aojut seeking what he may devour.
Disappearing in the most mysterious
manner duriog the heat of the day, he
never fails to turn up fresh and hearty
at meal time, when he shows to what a
tine point he has reduoed his profession
by the selection of his "strike." Wood
piles are his worst enemies, as in most
cases an appeal for food is followed by
an introduction to an axe, and an in
janotion to exercise himself a little.
Los Angeles seems to be the Mecca of
these wandering Bedouins and during
the day they may be seen in all their
splendor sitting on the steps of the court
house and indulging in phdosophical
criticisms of everything that may at
tract their attention.
"Please sir, have you got a quarter you
can spare a poor fellow who hasn't had
nothing to eat to-day,' was the tirst in
timation the writer had yesterday
afternoon of an assail from the
shafts of one of these wan
dering gentry. Turning, he
saw a fresh, healthy-looking youug man
of not more than -U years of age, who
was respsctfully pulling his forelock and
endeavoring to contort his features into
an expression of great distress. His cos
tume was "fearfully and wonderfully
made." He wore a Prince Albert coat
that had apparently passed through the
worst stages of a revolution, and the
degage appearance of his cravat
was evidently in imitation of
tbe style usually accredited to
Byron. The relic of a straw bat coy -
ered a head of frowsy-looking hair and at
his other extremity one or two red toes
were struggling to free themselves from
the trammels of a pair of well-worn base
ball shoes. Thinking it a good oppor
tunity to get some information that
might possioly serve to wile away a
few moments for the readers of the
Hbbalo, the writer made the man a
proposition which was immediately ac
oepted. The tramp agreed to furnish
some truthful information about the
modus operandi of his fellow-craftsmen
and his own story is the best manner of
telling what followed.
"Well, sir, we don't have such a good
time as most people seem to think.
Many's the day that we go without get
ting a bite of anything to eat; of course
that's when we're on the road, in a
city like this it's no trick to get all the
chuck a fellow wants. Talk about hard
ships, you people don't know what they
are. Why, last summer, when me and
Orange Pete was heading for California,
—we'd been having a fat time in El
Psso but they got onto us and we had
to skip out; but 1 11 tell you about that
afterwards. Well, we got out of Tucson
comfortable enough, on the brakes, but
after a time the brakees got onto us and
Bred us oil' right iv the middle of the
desert. It was blazing hot and we
hadn't got a drop of water with us, aud
1 tell you we liked to have died before
we got to Maricopa. Pete was for cav
ing in once or twice, but I made
him stick to it, aud I wouldn't
go through that day's experience again
if they offered to make me President of
the United States after it was over. But
I must tell you about the El Paso dodge.
You see in that town there's lots of
prospectors come in busted and get
grub staked by store keepers and such
folks in town, and then start out in the
mountains again. You know what
grub staking is, don't your—a fellow has
to give half of what he strikes to the
fellow who stakes him, and in returu he
gets an outfit of coffee, beans aud
Bacon—generally stuff enough to last
him about three months. Well, I'd got
a pretty good suit of clothes, so I went
round town and did the prospector
racket. I had my pockets tilled with
some pretty good specimens I'd got
from an old miner, and the people in
town was quite slack on them. I
worked a big liquor dealer for a good
stake, and be gave me s."> in cash
at well as the chuck, and off I
started. But I didn't go into the moun
tains; that wasn't my racket. I met
Pete just outside town and we went up
the river about twenty miles, near a
place called Chambrjrino that was nice
and quiet and there we camped. We
bad a bully time then, lying 'round all
day and doing nothing except when meal
time came round, When the stores ran
low, I headed for town again, struck
my man, showed him some fresh speci
mens and gave bim a glowing account of
a lay-out <hat I'd struck, and worked it
so well that he gave me a twenty to get
some Mexican laborers to help me on
the prospect. I bought a lot of booze
and struck out for the camp, and me
and Pete got ghriously drunk that
night drinking his health. Next day,
though, when wo we was a sleeping off
the effects of our baozs, I felt some one
kicking me in theribs.and when I looked
up it nigh scarsd me to death to see my
grub-stakcr standing over me. I tried to
explain matters to bim, but it wouldn't
go, aud he trotted us over to Cham
borino at the point of his gun, and they
locked m np in an old adobe prison.
Bat it wasn't the first time we'd been in
the 'jug,' and an old shanty like tbat
couldn't hold us, for we broke out that
night, and skipped up couutry just Ihe
best «c knew how. It wouldn't have been
healthy to stay round that district any
longer, so we headed for California, and
we've been here ever since.
Say, did yon ever notice at the rail
road depots auy names cat in on the
freight-house doors and round the plat
forms? Well, that the tramp's register.
When he comes in town he carves iiis
name somewhere round the depot, and
the date of hia arrival, and if there's
any of his pals round town
they know where to liud
him. When ho quits town he cuts in
'Bound for Krisoo,' or wherever he's
going, and the dato he starts, and that's
the way we keep track of each other.
Home fellows can travel almost ou pas
senger time when they're bound any
where, but then they have to be old
hands at tbe business. When the news
got to Frisco that Grant had died, there
was about 200 of us chaps struck right
out for New York, 'cos we knew there'd
be good times at the funeral, and some
of us made the trip in ten days."
"Thankee, sir; much obliged. If you
want to know anything more you'll lind
me'ronnd the court house most any
evening as long as I'm in town;" and he
shambled off down the street and turned
into a saloon with a beery smile lighting
np his countenance.
| Besides the ostriches there is a mis-
I cellaueous collection of coyotes, wild
j cats, eagles, snakes, etc., and all seem
to be doing well and are ap
parently contented with their
' lot with the exception of a
lately captured coyote, who is thrown
into a state of tha wildest alarm by the
nearest approach of anything bearing
the slightest resemblance to humanity.
A gentleman bearing evident traces of
fatigue was noticed to seat himself on
what was apparently aa empty box, but
the look of composure had scarcely had
time to adorn his features, win n he sud
denly gave a spring and struck ont in a
bee line for "pastures new," and big
bead drops of fear started on his brow.
The scribe, iv pursuit ot information, at
once proceeded to investigate the affair,
when he discovered that the gentle-man's
; sudden anxiety for violent exercise was
! owing to the fact tbat the box contained
a rattlesnake. It was a matter of im-
I possibility for him to have beeu hurt, as
I there was an inch of solid timber encas
l ing the reptile all round, but the music
|of the rattles had evidently no charms
, for him, and be sought a temporary
I refuge in the casino which is attached to
I the grounds.
I There is no doubt but that ostrich
j farming is proving a successful industry,
and to Los Angeles county ia to be ac
credited the honor of tirst introducing
i this enterprise into our republic. If the
I rumors with which the air is laden be
j true, there will soon be a branch farm
located in the vicinity of P.isadena, and
) Mr. Cawston states that he is already ou
I the gui vive for desirable land for that
purpose.

Special Announcement.
The first advance In the price of Ivanhoe
lots was made June Ist as per advertise
ment for several months. For various good
reasons, some of the lots sre left st the
original prices for another month. But
most of iicm have been advanced 20 to 50
per cent. Even at advanced prices lt Is tbe
best property offered for the money any
where around Los Angeles; and buyers
should choose their lots before the next ad
vance, which will be made In July. The
sale of lots ln May was larger than in any
previous month, aud the end of June will
find most of the lots sold. All who Bee Ivan
hoe agree that it is the best property for the
least money that cau be found. Tbe water
system and the dummy road will both be
ready by July, and many houses will be
built in the next two months. If you want a
first-class large let for a small mof money,
come at once. Byram Si indexter, 27
