Brown was laid to rest yesterday amidst the tears of a large concourse of iriende, who loved him for his gentle nature and manly worth. Thb annexation of the American sugar bounty haß had more to do with the overthrow of the Hawaiian mon archy than anything else. But we be lieve that congress,when the Democratic administration comes in, will find a way of establishing political control of the islands without placating a handfnl of planters with ten or more million dol lars a year as a free gift from the tax payers of the nnion. The experiences of the survivors of the tremendons wave which swept the deck of the steamer Pomeranian on her voyage from Glasgow to New York, are amongst the most thrilling in the his- Tory of ocean casualties. There eeems to have been bnt one tremendous wave that swept the ship, and although tbe weather wae stormy, it came altogether unexpectedly. This is shown from the fact that there were many cabin passen gers on deck at the time, moat of whom were swept overboard and drowned. When a congressman dies all the en fogies pronounced npon him are pub lished in handsome gift books at the public printing office. Eulogies were delivered week before last on six dead members, and the cost of printing these in richly bound volumes for free distrib - lUtm was $50,000. Had these repre sentatives lived and served their full terms out they would only have drawn $10,000 more from the treasury for their entire salaries. It costs quite a penny to the people to have a member "die in harness." The octogenarian composer, Verdi, has jnst added another laurel to his great fame by the successful production of his new opera, Falstaff. Critics say that it is a work of surpassing merit, and that the music iB so apposite to the inimitable hnmor and laughable ad ventures of the fat knight, through the tricks that are played upon him by the merry wives of Windsor, that it is the most enjoyable opera-comedy yet pro duced. The most astonishing considera tion in connection with this feat of the great composer iB the fact that be should, at the age of 60, exhibit the possession of an exuberance of fancy that is equal to the embalming of Shakespeare's most humorous conception in an opera which it is conceded will take its place upon the lyric stage at the head of the stand ard works of the great composer. Ths park commissioners place them selves on record in a card in our columns to the effect that none of them will ac cept an appointment from the city coun cil if the bill now before the legislature, taking the appointing power from the governor, becomes a law. They say that they do not care to assume the re sponsibilities of sucb an office and be (abject to the power of municipal poli ticians and ward strikers wbo have a "pull" in the council. We do not say that they are right in their claim that they would be subject to such in fin ances; but there is something in the politics of .American cities from whioh the ordinary reputable citizen shrinks when it becomes a question of his as suming public responsibility. The fact is that the power of the ward striker and manipulator increases with the de crease of interest manifested by the best element in city politics. The real estate dealers of Los Angeles appreciate the great services which thiß jonrnal has done in creating a legitimate and active market for realty. AU tbe conditions exist for profitable dealings. Low prices invite the judiciouß investor. Prices are low, and have been so for years, and favor the buyer. There are ■till many bargains to be had, but any acreage property at ruling rates is a bar gain. It will never again be as low as it ia today, while all the conditions point to rapid enhancements. A constantly increasing population of the very best people in the United States is bound to result in higher figures. It is only nat ural that it should, and no man who un derstands the situation would desire to see it otherwise. Real estate invest ments now are attractive, both from a speculative and revenue producing point of view. The volume of transactions Will swell til through the com ing summer. The sitnation greatly resembles that which existed in the year 1880, when the great boom of lIS6-87 germinated, with the difference that the present real estate activity is based on production and other stable conditions that will prevent any reac tion like that of six years ago. Perhaps the greatest movement for some time at least will be in country property, and for the good and sufficient reason that it has been too low—far lower than any reasonable estimate of the intrinsic valne of the lands warranted. Settlement in every portion of Los Angeles county is quite brisk, and this may be said of San Bernardino and Ventura counties, and of the northeastern portion of San Diego county. The region tributary to this city ia filling np as rapidly aa oar most enthusiastic people could desire, and the indications are that thia strong move ment will be even accelerated. THE HERALD AND THE FUTURE. No one can have failed to notice the marked improvementa that have taken place in thia journal during the paat three or four weeks. At great expense we have provided ourselves with a Hoe perfecting press, which admits of our re sponding to tbe great demands, daily growing, of our circulation. It is uni versally admitted that no journal in California, taking everything into the count, surpasses the Herald as a news paper. We have recently added to the journal a pictorial department, with a competent artist, and we have no doubt but that our readers will derive great pleasure from the illustrations which will from time to time embellish our columns. That Los Angeles is destined to be a noble city, and that this great desidera tum will be achieved in the immediate future, no intelligent man, who takes note of the signs of the times, can donbt. On all hands great progress is being made. In agriculture and horticulture we are going steadily forward with the same energy which haß characterized the country during the past five years, and, if anything, the movement has been accelerated. Orcbard planting has been pushed ahead all through Southern California, and nowhere with more rapidity than in our own county. An unusual breadth of the cereals has been sown, and the season thus far bas been more favorable than any which the oldest inhabitant can recall. Manu factures are springing up on every hand, and reduction works and packing estab lishments are to be features of our city's daily life. New railways, which will open up a specially rich country, are in course of construction. There is every reaeon to believe that Los Angeles, in five years from today, will be a city of one hundred and twenty-five thousand inhabitants. In such a magnificent evolution the press will, of course, play a leading part, and the Herald will be, as always, in the front rank. The great office which this journal has played in the develop ment ot the past is conceded. It pro poses, in the future, to dwarf all its pre vious efforts. With a lightning perfect ing press, and its increased facilities for tbo twUoctiau mnt xlluotratton Of tOO events of the day, it proposes to make a brilliant and exceptional record. Every one who wishes well to Los Angeles should do all that lies in bis power to increase the circulation and advertising patronage of a journal which has been so closely identified with the progress and well-being of this city. AU An geleflos can do something in this line, and it will be a labor of love that will be well repaid. The prosperity of tbe Herald will react on the prosperity of Los Angeles. Increase its usefulness by sending it to your friends, in the east and elsewhere. It will do splendid missionary work. Spare no pains, there fore, to swell its circulation and reve nues. ONE ADVANTAGE OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidation of the two principal street railroads in this city will not only prove a great economical convenience to the people, but a measure that will greatly increase tho revenue of the roads themselves. It has been found in all tbe large cities that the transfer system has had a marked effect upon travel, aud that people now take the cars who before relußed to do so on the ground of economy. Los Angeles is not yet a large city ac citieß are rated at the east. But terri torially she will hold her own againet moßtof them. She has been, so to speak, "settled up" so far in spots. We have dense neighborhoods in various parts of the residence portions of the city, and some of these are quite distant from others. The horse cars at firtt induced people to build along their lines; then the cable cars had the same result where they operated, and now the electric sys tem is causiDg very populous neighbor hoods to spring up at very distant points from the business center. The result of all this is that we have considerable groups of residences at tbe most distant and opposite points. Tbe people who have made all these homes depend main ly upon the respective lines of cars tbat are convenient to them. But as no trans fer privileges have been enjoyed by them up to a very rec«nt period, and then only on a very limited scale, the residsnts of one part of the city could only visit some other parts by paying two or three car fares to do so. Ths consolidation of the two great roada will eventaate in a transfer of riding privileges with all the existing car lines, and with any others that may be Hereafter started. This convenience will be availed of by many who are now prevented from riding from economical reasons. Mrs. Smith will more fre quently visit Mrs. Jones who lives nearer another line than the one that passes her door, and in this way the consolida tion and the minor roads will tako in much ::iore the revenue they do now. The transfer system is nowhere more complete or more largely ramified than it iB in San Francisco, and an ingenioua denizen of that city can take a single fare at ono end of the city and by making intelligent transfers can ride for four hours on that single fare. The roada lose noihing by this. The great con venience they confer on the average citi- 10S ANGELES HERALD": MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18, 1893. Zen induces him or her to ride when they would otherwise walk. No street car corporation has ever lost money by extending ita transfer privileges. Foi one person who might occasionally abuse it there are dozens whose patron age is induced by the advantages which it offers. 6aa Diego ia enjoying a world's fair of her own. In order to aid the public in seeing the same the Santa Fe company made a rate of one fare for tbe round trip from all points in Southern Califor nia and it is understood that a great many people are taking advantage of the same. In the Junior world's fair being held at the chamber of commerce rooms there is an exhibition which is a credit alike to its manager and to the county which is capable of producing so diversified and beautiful a display. It would take columns to describe it in de tail. The pyramids of oranges, lemona and raisins, the sheaves of golden grain, the festoons of jellies, the long rows of plates of apples, pears, guavas, persim mons and many other different kinds of fruits raised in the county, the mounted birds of all kinds, tables loaded with precious mineral exhibits, the displays of delicate handiwork of all sorts, beau tiful paintings, a unique silk display, an exhibit of rish representing nearly a hundred varieties, besides many other things that come from the ocean; all these combine to make an exhibition which cannot fail to awaken the interest of the most blase old-timer. The idea of the fair is to exhibit all the articles, or at least samples of some, which it is de signed to send to the world's fair.co that those who are not able to attend the latter may have an opportunity to at least see what the county ia doing. The tickets sold by the Santa Fe are good for five days. The fair does not cloae until Thursday night, February lGth, Unless steps are taken by the present legislature to secure an amendment to the constitution by which a general law can be enacted that will provide for the creation of new counties by a uniform system, the term of our legislative ses sions will have to be extended to one hundred days at least. With the rush for new counties, a gieat portion of the time of the legislature is monopolized to hear the interminable arguments pro and con of the people who favor and those who oppose division. Everybody admits that a new county ought to be formed out of the old one when the pop ulation is sufficient and the new condi tions call for it. These conditions can be formulated in a statute, and when complied with or existing in a projected new county, a two-thirds vote of the people of the old county could determine tbe controversy, and save the state the great expense incurred under the system which prevails of badgering the legisla ture for division. There seems to be very little doubt that Judge Gresham will be a member oTslr.X3revßlana'B CsTbiifet. This would indicate that the president-elect will not be disposed to draw party lines with great nicety. The appointment of a Democrat to the supreme bench of the United States by President Harrison ie a straw in the same direction. That was a wise and witty remark of Judge Edmunds at the White banquet, tbe other night, in which, referring to the partizan complexion of congress, he said from the divisions on some meas ures, it would be hard to tell to which party many of its members belonged. However, it is pretty safe to assume that the rank and file of the Democracy will be heard from when it comes to offices below that of cabinet minister. This winter has undoubtedly taken the palm for the severity of the weather both on land and sea in the east, in Eu rope and on the Atlantic ocean. The lowest ranges of temperature known for over a quarter of a century have pre vailed all over the northwest and in the middle Btates. Rivers have been frozen over for a period of six weeka that have not been closed for ten days in the past twenty years. In Southern California, on tbe other hand, we have had the mild est weather known to the oldest inhab itant. AMUSEMENTS. Los Angeles Theater,—A little bur lesque, some specialties,dancing,singing, pantomime, high kicking and Borne striking scenic effects, mixed up with considerable comedy, make up tbe per formance of the Spider and the Fly. The affair has been greatly improved since is was last given here, and is really a most entertaining medley. The star of the company is certainly Miss Louise Kayce, who plays Oceana, tier Binging is moat sweet, her voice having a sympathetic timbre which iB very effective. She is also a very hand some woman, and bo shapely that tbe few gauzy draperies she wears are super fluous. Mr. Kinney, the former comedian of the company, is replaced by Mr. Robert Bell, who is very effective, but lacks the inimitable drollnesß of bis iniantile faced predecessor. The pretty Putnam sisters do some very neat dancing. They have developed in all respects in the past year and are now very comely young women. The "ladies of the ballet" are excep tionally attractive in form and grace, and in tbe march, headed by tbe heroic figure of Jaguarina, do some excessively intricate evolutions. Jaguarina has but little opportunity to display her accom plishments, but makes the most of her too brief appearances. The prettiest of tbe dances was the Hungarian ballet in the second act, though the quadrille at the beginning of the third act, in which Mies Newham leads, is most eccentric and daring. The performance ie bright throughout, there is no drag anywhere, and the features are so varied and interesting aa to satisfy the most exacting spectators. The engagement will last until Wednes day evening inclusive, with a matinee on that day. Found, At the drug store, a valuable package, worth its weight in gold.

The Thrilling Experience of a Night Watchman. A Story of a Gruesome Occurrence in This City. An Old Man's Vagaries and the Result— A Morning Chase and a Disturbed Grave- The Men Left No Trace. Quite a thrilling episode occurred one dark night about two weeks ago, when, although it had been raining hard, it had ceased for a number of hours, and several stars were trying to shed Borne light into one of the cemeteries of the city. Attempts have been made to keep the affair very quiet, but unsuccessfully, al though it iB not likely that any trouble will result from it. A day or so before the night in ques tion a gentleman died in Los Angeles, who had Buffered from what his physi cians long before diagnosed as Bright's disease. He was quite an intelligent man, and was somewhat skeptical him self about the diagnosis of the physi cians in his case. He and one of his physicians held long arguments about his case, and at times they grew somewhat heated over the matter. He became so much in terested in his own case, that is scientif ically speaking, that frequently after one of these discussions he wonld testily terminate it by saying tbat he hoped if he died the matter would be settled by an investigation, although, as he said with grim humor, he would not be able to participate in the proceedings except as a lay subject. He also said that be had no objections to hiß body being taken for medical purposes by some college. The gentleman had an interesting family whom these remarks horrified, and yet humored the sick man in his fancies. It caused many a bad quarter of an hour to his wife, when she con templated the probable fate of her hus band's remains, but she mads the best of it by trying to set it all down aa the outgivings of a hypochondriac. Towards the end, for during tbe past month or two he grew very much worse, in apite of the earnest efforts of his medical friend, he repeatedly alluded to what he had before said, but not so much in the presence of his family, whom he saw it very much annoyed. Finally he died and then it occurred to the family in all its force that he had spoken ac he did, and they very quietly but determinedly declined to permit any post mortem examination, and he waß interred with due ceremony in one of the cemeteries in the city. The wife was so suspicious about the possible dis interment of her husband, that, with out saying anything to anybody about her intentions, Bhe went to a detective agency and engaged that the grave should be watched for a time, until her fears were allayed. A detective wsb detailed to nndertake the lonely night vigil, and just about the time he began the rain begau. He did not havft a pleasant duty for a night or two, inasmuch as a night watch in a cemetery is s gruesome experience even when the weather ia propitious. Nothing occurred to indicate that anything was out of tbe way until the night referred to above, The clouds were threatening and the first part of the night waß dark as the traditional stack of black cats. Along about 3 o'clock it became a lit tle lighter, but not to any great extent. The watchman had nearly fallen asleep, and to liven himself up a little paced up one of the driveways which was the least muddy. He went some little dis tance and leaned up against a tree. Not a sound was to be heard, and. he, ac he describes it, thonght to himself tbat he was engaged in the biggest wild-goose chase that had befallen him in hia ex perience aa a detective. After remaining in his position against the tree for about 15 or 20 minutes he concluded to return to the game by a different route, which took him around quite a circle. It was about half an hour from the time he had left the immediate vicinity of his post bciore he again approached it. When he came within about 100 yards of the grave he was startled tc hear a sudden rush from the grave by two dark objects. They disappeared in tbe darkneaß in tho direction of a road which leads out of the city, and he gave chase. He plunged along, falling down once. Picking himself up, he wentafter the forms he could see making tracka for the nearest point of contact with the road. He gained on them nntil he could see that they were two men, who were exerting themselves to the utmost to put as much distance between them and their pursuer as Tarn O'Shauter did upon a memorable occasion. Tbe light was too dim to recoguize the men, and they reached the fence about 50 yards ahead of the watchman. They jumped over, and in a second the sound of wheels was heard, and a wagon rolled away just as the watch man reached the fenc. In it he could see a long object, which he took to be a box. He pursued the team for about half a mile, but they lashed up their horse and soon disap peared in the dArkness. Slowly the watchman returned to the grave, where he found that it had been excavated nearly down to the casket, and only a few minutes more work would have been necessary to uncover it, and successfully steal the body. The grave waa filled in again, and a watch haß been kept ever since, although it is believed the body snatchers re ceived such a fright that any farther es pionage will not be necessary. Various theories have been advanced in regard to the attempt to steal the body, but the one which ia most favor ably received by the family is that it waß a surreptitious attempt to carry out the wishes of the old gentleman with regard to an investigation into the aeat of his fatal malady. The question they would like to solve is who were the mysteriouß persona who so nearly got away with the remains of the deceased. They do not actually think it waa the physician referred to, for they do not believe that interested as he might be in solving the disputed question he had bo often argued, that he would resort to such means of carrying bis point. It is rather believed that-he may have talked to otherß about the case, and that some medical students may have become so interested in the matter that they de termined to go on an expedition npon their own hook. The, midnight body snatchers left no trace behind them as they carried away with them the shovel and pick with which they had been operating. All hopes of ferreting oat the perpetrators has not yet been given up, but the trail was so carefully concealed that it is not likely tbat it will ever be known who paid the morning visit to the cemetery. THE STEAMSHIP COMPANY. A Statement of Its Position Regarding This City. "So Mr. Wheeler thinks our schedule of freights to Loa Angeles is regulated by the Southern Pacific company and j we are working against the interests of San Franoieco," said one of the mem bers of the firm of Goodall, Perkins & Co., agents of the Pacific Coast Steam ship company, referring to the state ments of Mr. Wheeler, of the firm of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson, who says that an opposition to the Pacific Coast Steamship company will be developed by a competing line of steamers between San Francisco and Loa Angeles, nays the San Francisco Examiner. "Now, let me give you a few facts: Mr. Wheeler speaks of tbe rate on stoves and says we charge 52)£ cents per hun dred to Los Angeles. Our rate for 300 --puund stoves in carloads lota gives us 75 cents after paying wharfage. "If the stove is broken in transit we are called upon to pay $30 or $40. On a 500-pound stove in carload lots, after paying wharfage, we get $1.25. Any dealer will tell you that the wholesaler makes 3 cents a pound on every stove he cells, while we make 75 cents for freight on the whole stove. In fact, we get lees for carrying a stove from San Franciaco than ia charged to move the same etove from this city to Oakland. You can load a steamer with sheet-iron pipe, which is a very bulky article, for any of the southern ports and the freight would not pay tbe sailors' wages, which are higher now than they were 20 years ago. "For carrying sugar we get $3.50 per ton, after the wharfage and cost of hand ling are paid. The great trouble is there is ho return freight from Los An geles, sb there is from the northern ports, and if Mr. Wheeler thinks there ia any money in the business let him start an opposition line. "Aa to collusion with the railroad, that is out of tbe question, aa there ie no single-track water line to the southern norts. The railroad companies carry freight from New York or Chicago to San Bernardino as cheaply as they carry it to San Francisco. Again, all the wharvea in Los Angeles are owned by private firms, and they demand heavy tolls on all classes of merchandise landed on the wharves. "Mr. Wheeler's asaertion that we are working against San Francisco ia all bosh. Our interests lie here and we want trade to come here. The southern part of the state may take 6000 tons of freight per month, but if so 5000 tons of it is carried by rail. Our total ship ments to southern ports during De cember were juat about 1000 tons, and our expenses for the same month were $1000 more than our receipts; in fact, we are going behind all the time on that trade. Mr. Wheeler makes from $10 to $20 on each stove he Bells, and he iB ob jecting because he cannot keep the other 75 centß which he pays out for freight. If he thinks there ie lots of money in the transportation business let him try it and see." LAID TO REST. Tim Funeral Services of the Late Thomas B. Brown. The funeral cci vicea over the remains oi the late Thomas B. Brown were held yesterday afternoon at the Bt. John's Episcopal church. The edifice was crowded with sorrowing friends; so numerons were those desirous of show their regard for the deceased by attend ing the ceremony that many were forced to listen as best they could from the outside). The pall bearers were J. J. Melius, Count yon Schmidt, Sutherland Hutton, A. W. Hutton, Stephen M. White and James Howard. Tho rector, Mr. Judd, made a brief but eloquent address, truly saying that the deceased needed no extended eulogy, as his fine personal qualities and well known characteristics spoke for them selves and were widely known. The remains were escorted to the cem etery by a tremendous concourse of car riages, and with the impressive Masonic ceremonies the remains were laid to rest. LOOKS BAD FOR PARKER. The Westminster Night Clerk in the Clutches of the Law. Eobt. H. Parker, formerly night clerk at the Westminster hotel, and now in the city prison on the charge of petit larceny, will have a preliminary exami nation in the police court this morning. The detectives who made the arrest also found about $80 in his room; of the amount, $50 is paper money, the re mainder gold and silver. Tbe amount * and the denomination of the pieces of, money correspond with tbat in the hand-bag which he is charged with hav ing stolen. How to Save Doctor Bills.
