A TRAIL
OF BLOOD
Mysterious Suicide Among
the Hills
LITERALLY HACKS HIMSELF
WITH A DULL KNIFE IN THE
THROAT
A Hunter Sees a Gory Sight in the
Hills Near East Los Angeles
The Details
A strange story of a determined sui
cide was reported at the police station
yesterday morning. Charles Breedlove,
a resident of East Los Angeles, went out
early Sunday morning, Intending to hunt
over the hills that lie between East Los
Angeles and Garvanza He was ln a
part of the country about one and one
half miles northwest of E street-, and
was forcing his way through the thick
brush that covers the hillsides when he
perceived a man lying down In the
bushes. Something about the man's at
titude attracted Breedlove's attention,
and, looking closer, he was horrified to
see the stranger plunge a bloody Jack
knife into a gaping wound at the side of
his throat. Just then the would-be sui
cide saw Breedlove, and called to him,
imploring Breedlove to shoot him and
end his misery. Breedlove, Instead of
complying with the request, went nearer,
Intending to take the knife away from
the crazy man. When he got closer he
saw that the stranger had stabbed him
self several times in the region of the
heart, the blood flowing from the wounds,
and making a pool upon the ground.
The stranger apparently perceived
Breedlove's design or taking the knife
away, for he turned on him and made as
if he would knife him. Breedlove saw no
chance to secure the knife, so leaving
the wretched man he hurried back ar.d
telephoned the central police station.
Officer Briest was sent out on the search,
and Sergeant McKeag of the East Side
station sent two more officers on the
strange quest for the determined suicide.
Breedlove met the officers and con
ducted them to the spot where he had
left the apparently dying man. On the
ground was a pool of thick blood; on
the bushes were stains and clots of gore,
but there was no sign of the man himself.
He had disappeared.
The officers went to work and made a
systematic search of the ground. In sev
eral places the bushes, with their bloody
leaves, showed where the unfortunate
man had passed, but he himself could
not be found. In four different places
he appeared to have lain down, and each
time a pool of blood showed how the life
was flowing out of him. The thickness
of the brush made the search a difficult
one, for the officers could pass within a
dozen feet of the man and not see him,
so closely did the thicket grow. More
over the steepness of the hillside added
to the hardnesoHpf the quest.
For four hours Officer Briest kept on
looking for tffe suicide, or at least for
his dead body, but was not rewarded by
success. The policeman then returned
to town, but the two officers of the East
Side squad and Breedlove kept up the
search all day. No further trace was
found of the man, who seemed to have
dropped into the earth. There were too
many substantiations' of Breedlove's
story to leave any doubt of Its truth.
Breedlove describes the man ac being
about 35 years of age, fair complexion,
reddish hair %nd clean shaven. He was
dressed in a flannel shirt, without coat
or vest, a pair of overalls girt around
with a strap and a straw hat. In the few
words that he had with Breedlove the
man said he was a cook by trade and had
trouble with his family. From the
amount of blood found there can be lit
tle doubt of his death, for the pools
showed enough gore lost to kill an ox.
It is. likely that the buzzards wSU ml a
few days point out the spot where the
dead man lies.
J. Waldere Kirk Going to Klondyke
The Klondyke-mine? are to be socially
put to rights. J. Waldere Kirk is going
to the mines. He will take with him an
up-to-date wardrobe, containing his lat
est ideas in cold weather clothing.
Is James Waldere Kirk going tn work

Isn't. At 100 Broadway James Waldere
Kirk has rented —or, to be precise, he is
In the occupation of—an office. That
office is inscribed "Klondyke Placer
Mining and Water Supply company. J.
Waldere Kirk, manager."
"We shall go to the mines—fifty of
us," said Mr. Kirk yesterday, "all armed
and well equipped—ar.d we shall have
money, supplies, machinery and things.
We shall go up the stream, say twelve
miles, and build a flume to bring water
down, to the mines. Then we shall darn
the river.
"When we've dammed the river those
miners won't have any water to mine
with, will they? WH, what do we do?
We either sell them water from our
flume or put ln hydraulic machinery and
use It ourselves. Hydraulic mining
machinery is what they want up there,
and we are going-to take it with us." —

Snoring Can Be Cured
Do you snore? Or, what is worse, are
you compelled to sleep in the vicinity
"fa person who snores?
Or. J. X Bermin.gham says that snor-
In , can be cured by proper treatment.
1 ' Snoring Is caused by the vibration of
soft palate," says Or. Bermingham.
I V.'htn the mouth is closed this p|late
.; it .',a down and leaves plenty of room
[i r he air to pass through the nose. If
th. rose passages are obstructed ln any
| manner so that the person finds iseas
j to breathe through the mouth when.
!. p, then the air causes the soft pal
ate to vibrate', thus causing the sjjre.
I i cry rare indeed that a man snores
wh •! is mouth is closed, and when such
la ciS is discovered the'snoring Is never
i iou I' d seldom troubles anyone else.
S i.oring is caused by an obstruction
in. h ' ise, the natural treatment is to
I r.'-movi that obstruction.
"Occasionally the removal of the ob
sl ruction does not stop the snoring, the
habit of breathing through the mouth
having become too strong. If the patient
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23, 1897
Is ur.able to break the habit without as
sistance, we place a small strip of cellu
loid between the lips and the teeth. A
string is fastened to this celluloid and
I tied around the neck to prevent its be
ing swallowed. This device will correct
the habit in a short time, and its use
need not be continued afterwards.
"There are many causes for obstruc
tions in the nose. The most common is
an enlargement of the tissues, due to
catarrh, which has existed for years.
"Enlarged tonsils often partially close
the nostrils. When this condition is
found, the tonsils are removed."—New
. York World.
PROTECTION—EXTRAVAGANCE
Revenue Only the Excuse, Lavish Ex
penditure the Result
The tendency to lavish expenditure
has been stimulated, too, by the tempta
tion of the protective system to make a
large revenue collected from duties on
Imports seem necessary. All govern
ments are prone to make taxation serve
some other purpose than to raise reve
nue; that is, to foster or maintain some
sort of policy. It was used for ages to
promote certain special interests In
England the import duties on corn were
meant to benefit the landed interest and
foster large estates. In America, the
duties on Imports are meant to benefit
native manufacturers indirectly, but
by showing that they are also essential
to the government a great deal of the
opposition to them as a benefit to the
manufacturers is disarmed. In no way
can the needs of the government be
made so conspicuous as by keeping the
treasury empty. Since protection for
industry was, after the war, Incorpo
rated In the fiscal system of the govern
ment, therefore, It has begotten ex
travagance almost as an inevitable ac
companiment, The less money there
is on hand the higher does it seem that
duties ought to be, and the way to keep
little on hand is to spend freely.
The difficulty of getting rid of the pro
tective system, in any modern country,
is to be found in part in the growth oi
democracy. To the natural man, pro
tection for his products againcst compe
tition is one of the primary duties of
government. Every citizen or mechanic
would fain keep the whole of the
market to himself, if he could. The
shoemaker wishes to make all the shoes
of his village, the carpenter to do ail the
carpentering. In fact, protection Is the
ecomomical creed which the "unlnstruct
ed political economist" always lays hold
of first. Its benefit seem clearest, and
Ks operation In his own interest is'mosl
visible and direct. This undoubtedly
goes far to account for the failure of the
free trade theory to make more way in
the world.—E. L. Godltin in the Atlantic
Monthly.
A Ballroom in a Mine
Superintendent Zeltler of the Cham
pion mine will give a remarkable recep
tion to the Native Sons of the Golden
West when the grand parlor assembles
here,in April next.
In a spacious chamber 1600 feet under
ground, where the mammoth ledge has
been stoped out, leaving smooth walls
and celling as firm as the rock of ages,
Mr. Zeltler proposes to build a plaform
big enough for 200 people to dance on at
a time without crowding or jostling. The
native sons and daughters and their
friends who are lucky enough to get
invitations will be given a smooth, swift
ride down the steep Incline to the ball
room, which they will find brilliantly
lighted with several hundred electric
lamps.
No matte rhow hot the day on the out
side, the air in this subterranean palace
of the gold king will be as cool and fresh
and sweet as the veriest crank could
have made to order if he fixed the thing
to suit himself. There will be a large
orchestra present and when the music
starts up everybody will begin to dance.
The party will last three or four hours,
and Mr. Zeitler, who was long ago
adopted by the native sons as one of
their most benefieient patron saints, will
have refreshments served to the merry
throng at proper intervals.—Nevada
City Transcript.
Speaker's Patience Exhausted
A well known member of parliament
was addiresslrjg an agricultural meeting
in the south, and in the course of his re
marks expressed the opinion that farm
ers do not sufficiently vary their crops,
and make a mistake in always sowing
wheat.
One of the audience opposed' to him in
politics, askcdi him what crops he would
recommend.
"Everything, in turn," he replied..
"W/elil," said his interlocutor, "if
swedes don't come up, what then?"
"Sow mustard.," said theM. P.
"And if mustard doesn't come up,
what then?"
And so he went cm through the whole
list of crops, until the M. P.'s patience
being exhausted he put an end to the
questioning, amid roars of laughter, by
saying:
"Oh, sow yourself, and I hope you won't
come up."—Spare Moments.
Banana Cup
Bananas are the latest fruit to lend
their flavor to that refreshing drink,
which under the generic name of "cup"
takes on many specific qualifications.
Banana cup is made from the pulp of
three not over-ripe bananas, rubbed
through a flne.wlre selve. Add the grat
ed rind of half a large ltmon and tire
juice of on.c lemon and one orange. Pour
over this half a pint of belling water,
and put In a cool place for several hours.
When quite cold ptir well together, sweet
en to taste, add a wineglass of sherry,
a siphon of soda water and a few lumps
of ice.—New York Evening Post,
Ex-Empress Eugenie's Real Estate
The ex-Empres Eugenic is bnek at Farn
borough from her long cruise in tht- Medit
erranean and the Black sea. She has been
away seven months.
It would be interesting to note the amount
of money that the ex-empress of the
French has invested in real estate. In
this country, for instance, she has her j
beautiful place at Farnborough. At Cup !
Martin, in the south of France, she owns
another beautiful chateau and estate. In
Paris a number of houses, notably in th"
Champs IClysee district, still stand in her i
name, while she still retains a considerable ]
amount of landed property and houses in
Spain. She is popularly accredited with
th© ownersh'p. through a third party, of
course, of houses and land in New York,
and now she is said to have acquired the
magnificent park and palace of the Aus
tria empress ai Corfu.—London Leader.

ONLY PRIVATE
Chairman Hooker's Visit
Is Not Official
GENERAL ALGER'S ATTITUDE
DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN
THE DELAY
Would Not Presume to Express a
Preference—Will Meet the Peo
ple Today
Hon Warren B. Hooker, who repre
sents the Thirty-fourth New York dis
trict in congress and is chairman of the
rivers and harbors commjttee, accom
panied by his wife, two children, Miss
Sessions, his niece, and Mrs. Moore, ail
of Fredonia, N. V., are-at the Van Nuys.
They came in at 7:30 oclock last night
from Santa Monica, where they had been
since Saturday evening. They will re
main ln Los Angeles until tonight when
they will leave for San Francisco en
route to their homes via Yellowstone
park.
Mr. Hooker was greatly surprised to
Uarn that there had been a suspicion of
mystery about his movements. His ex
planation of his trip and the time of his
arrival shows that his presence here
would have been known Friday had it
not been for the failure of Senator White
to receive a telegram announcing his in
tended visit. Mr. Hooker left San Fran
cisco Tuesday and went to Monterey and
Hotel del Monte remaining there until
the following day when he again went
north. Thursday he started south, in
tending to come at once to Los Angeles,
and an acquaintance telegraphed Sena
tor White of his coming. The latter was
not ln the city and when at 1:30 oclock
Friday afternoon Mr. Hooker arrived at
the Arcade depot no one there knew
him. Before reaching the city, however,
he decided to take his party to Catalina
Island, and he therefore did not come
up town from the depot but simply
changed cars and proceeded to San Pe
dro. There he made a cursory examina
tion of the harbor and then went to Cata
lina, returning to the main land Satur
day morning. Another examination of
the harbor was made, and the party
then took the Terminal train for Pasa
dena. There they secured carriages and
visited a numbeT of points of interest,
incfuding the San Gabriel mission, after
which they returned, to Los Angeles via
the electric railroad, and Instead of stop
ping here went at once to Santa Monica
where they registered at the Arcadia
hotel.
At Santa Monica yesterday, after It
became known that he was there, he and
his party were shown every attention.
Among those who called upon him were
General Smith of the Soldiers' home,
and ex-Congressman MacLachlan, the
latter of whom had known him in con
gress. Later Col, Otis, president of the
Free Harbor league; Mr. T. E. Gibbon,
vice-president of the Terminal railroad,
and Secretary Wiggins of the chamber
of commerce, called at the hotel and in
vi'ed Mr. Hooker to attend an informal
reception at the chamber of commerce"
this morning at 9 oclock. This) he ac
cepted. In the afternoon Mr. Hooker,
Senator White and Col. Otisdrove about
Santa Monica, visiting the Southern Pa
cific pieT, the canyon and other points of
interest. In the evening, accompanied
by the members of his family, Mr.
Hooker came quietly to the city, arriving
at 7:30 oclock as stated.
WON'T TALK HARBOR
Although Mr. Hooker could doubtless
talk most interestingly about the deep
water harbor which is to be built "some
where on the Pacific coast." as Gen. Al
ger has> stated, and although he is a very
pleasant talker, he will not talk harbor.
He declares that there is nothing to b"
said about the matter in its present
status; that the harbor matter is in the
hands of the proper authorities and
nothing he could say would throw any
light upon what Is going to be done.
A PRIVATE VISIT
"My visit to this part of the country
has no official significance," said Mr.
Hooker. "I am here not as a member
of congress, not as chairman of the river
and harbor committee, not for the pur
pose of making any particular personal
observations with reference to the har
bor matter, but I am here simply as a
private citizen. It has long been my de
sire to show my family this part of the
country, and I am now doing so. I have
been here before and am therefore some
what fa miliar with the country. I know
now and of course expected that this
harbor question is one in which all the
people here are interested, and that is
but natural, for it is an important mat
ter, but so far as my visit here having
any connection whatever with that sub
ject, I can but repeat that I am not hero
for the purpose of even acquainting my
self with the situation. That I will do
so, however, is a matter of course, for
wherever I go I hear something about
the harbor matter, and it would be im
possible for me not to learn much about
It. My stay will be much too short to
make possible any close examination
into the matter or of the premises, even
it' such action was contemplated or nec
essary, but the matter is now in such
shape as to require no such official at
tention, and it would not be proper for
me to take any action even were I so
disposed or had I the authority so to do.
DOES NOT PRESUME PREFERENCE
"Under these circumstances' I do not
! think it would be proper for me to ex
! press any preference as between the two
; principal plans proposed. Coming heri
las I do. simply on a visit of pleasure, I
I would not presume to voice a preference
lif I had one. I can not therefore say at
i what point I think the work could be
! done to the best advantage of the people
of tliis part of the state..
ALGER'S ATTITUDE
"There seems to be some misunder
standing as to the present attitude of the
secretary of war. The act authorizing
the letting of contracts for the work Is
not mandatory, as I understand it. Such
provisions are usually couched in these
terms: 'The secretary of war may ad
vertise for bids for this or that work, the
cos,t of which shall not exceed whatever
amount may be mentioned.' That Is the
general wording of the act and the mat
ter is, I think, left to his discretion
largely as to deterntine just what is
necessary. You will remember that Sec- ,
retary Lament held up nearly all the
contracts for such Improvements, giv-
ing as his reason for so doing that the
money was not available. There are
many instances which I might cite ln
which the secretary of war has deferred
action on such continuous contracts as
this one is. In some cases it is discov
ered that the work to be done does not
justify the expense. Ido not know, nor
do I attempt to explain the cause for
delay in this matter, but what I have
told you may throw some light upon the
matter. Under the circumstances, I do
not know what else I can say about the
matter.
"No, I shall not go to San Diego, as I
have not time. I must reach home soon,
and as I desire to visit Yellowstone park,
I will be unable to remain here longer
than Monday,evening."
At San Francisco Mr. Hooker's party
will be Joined by Congressman J. S.
Sherman of Utlca, N. V., who represents
the Twenty-fifth district of that state.
Mr. Sherman is chairman of the commit
tee on Indian affairs. He is now at the
Hotel del Monte. The party will then go
to Portland, Or., and thence east via
Spokane and Helena.
THE HOOKER RECEPTION
Arrangements for the Chamber of
Commerce Meeting
A cordial Invitation is extended to all
to attend a reception that will be given
this morning from 9 to 10:30 at the cham

house and with his family is visiting this
coast for a few days. To afford an op
portunity for the Los Angeles business
men to meet Mr. Hooker this reception
is tendered him. All those Interested in
the harbor matter can spare a few min
utes in which to pay their respects to
the guest of honor, and the usual cham
ber of commerce refreshments will be
served,. The following is a list of the re
ception committee, and they will please

Blaine Was Afraid
The late secretary Blame was believed
to be somewhat timid during the last
years of his life. At all events a senator
who had a little experience with him
vouches for the fact that one man got
an appointment because the secretary
was afraid.
There were in Blame's campaign of
ISB4 a number of hangers-on, and among
them was a man from the state of the
senator who tells the story. This man
had done considerable work for Blame
and when the Maine man became secre
tary of state he thought he ought to have
a place.
Like all office seekers who have not a
first-class pull, he was put off from time
to time, and it was along in the summer
after the inauguration that he met the
senator. The office seeker was a little
drunk and quite ugly. "See here, sena
tor," he said, "this has gone far enough.
I haven't got much more than enough
money to get a dinner with. I can live
until tomorrow night. Then I'm going to
kill some one. It may be myself, it may
be you and It may be Blame. I don't
know just which one will suit my fancy,
but one of us is going to be killed, and I
get a little nervous when I think of kill
ing myself and I may not have the cour
age. I rather suspect that it will be
either you or Blame, and I don't care
much which. You've both promised me
a place and I've not got it."
He left the senator and the senator
went to the state department. "Blame,"
ho said, "I Just saw Blank down the
street and he's pretty ugly. He says he
is going to kill either you or me If he
d.oesn't get an appointment. I rather
think he means it, for he had murder In
his eye. I'm going to'keep out of his
way, and I rather think you are in for
it, as I can get out of town. More than
that, he's got no particular claim on me,
and he does say that you owe him a
place,. I rather think you are the man
he's after."
That afternoon the man was appointed
I o one of the far away consulates and has
not been heard from since.—New York

The Labor Market
The market for skilled labor continues
to show tangible evidence of improve
ment notwithstanding the presence of
the bituminous coal miners' strike and a
few others of lesser importance. Several
iron and steel plants have resumed op
erations as a result of the settlement of
the Amalgamated association wage
scale. An advance of 12V4 per cent, in
some branches more, has been accorded
to the pottery workers This will un
doubtedly benefit many men ln towns
along the Ohio river and at Trenton, N.
J. A conference of glassworkers is be
ing held at Chicago to secure an agree
ment on a general wage scale. Inas
much as the price of window glass has
advanced over 10 per cent within the
last thirty days it is expected that man
ufacturers will agree to the proposition
of the operatives. More than 6000 union
men are represented at the conference,
but the outcome will affect upwards of
25,000 employed in that industry, but

not members of any labor organization.
So far as the coal miners' strike is con
cerned, reports are of a contradictory
nature. It is apparent, however, that
the miners have in few instances suc
ceeded in making additions to their
ranks. In the Pittsburg district the
ardor of the men has been somewhat
dampened by the issuance of temporary
Injunctions enjoining them from assem
bling, marching or encamping on the
property of the companies in proximity
to the mines and houses of the employes
of operators to#itimidate working min
ers. The uniformity agreement, from
the adoption of which so much is ex
pected, seems likely to be successful.
Copies of the agreement have been mail
ed to each operator in the Pittsburg dis
trict, and while a few found fault with
its provisions, the majority expressed
their willingness to sign It. A number
of cotton mills located in the New Eng
land states have suspended operations
for a fortnight or more to reduce stocks
or make repairs to plants. Several
thousand men are affected by these shut
downs. In view of existing favorable
conditions the conclusion is warranted
that the circumstances which have re
tarded industrial development are grad
ually disappearing.—Bradstreet's.
What Followed the Pitcher's Appeal
Big Dan Brouthers, the veteran first
baseman, who is killing the ball up in
Springfield, had some fun once with Dad
Clarke. The latter was pitching for Col
umbus and Brouthers went there with the
Bostons for an exhibition game. When
Dan came to the bat, Clarke, who was
pitching great ball, said with his usual
politeness:
"Well, you big knock-kneed lobster, what
are you doing up there? Trying to put
pitchers out of the business? What kind of
a ball do you want, eh? I'll make you look
like a cage of monkeys."
"Put one up anywhere," answered
Brouthers grimly. Dad, with an air of con
fidence, lobbed a nice one over the plate.
Brouthers met it squarely and knocked It
over the center field fence, the first time
it had ever been done. As the big first
baseman ran around the circuit he was ac
companied by Clarke, who called him some
choice names. After that Brouthers got
four bases on balls.—New York Sun.
