COUNTY SALARIES
REVIEWED BY LOS ANGELES
LEGISLATORS
ANY CIT IS OPPOSED
BT THE MEN RECENTLY ELECT-
ED TO OFFICE
PLEDGED TO RETRENCHMENT
But Ttai Not Read the Platform
to Which They Had Subscribed
Last August
When the county legislative delegation
met yesterday morning at 10:: SO in the rooms
of the chamber of commerce there was an air
of subdued expectancy on the faces of niONt
of tho recently elected Republican officers.
This air was not unmixed with gloomy fore
bodings of severe cuts which might be made
in their official salaries. ' The meeting was
called to order by Assemblyman Melick,
with Senators Bulla, ("tin ier and Assembly
men Melick, Vulentine, Mead, lluber, Mil
ler and Conrey present. Senator Simpson
did not appear until afternoon.
Some little preliminary business was tran
sacted, Professor Fosbay appearing before
the legislators, to plead the cause
of the deaf and dumb children of
the county, whom he would edu
cate from the common school fund by special
teachers, thus obviating sending them to the
institute at Berkeley during the time
when they should be under home influences.
This could be done, he argued, at a cost ot
$150 per pupil, whereas the cost at the
institute is i? 275. Professor Foshay's pro
posed bill received the approval of the legis
lators, Senator llullu, and Assemblymen
Millet and Conrey speaking in favor of the
idea.
George H. Peck and Mrs. H. R. W.
Strong appeared, the lirst in search of relief
from the storm water in the San Gabriel
river. Mrs. Strong wished some definite
action taken on a state flower that the floral
emWeiu might be completed,
RETRENCHMENT REFORMS
Then each legislator took a long breath,
and Chairman Melick read the retrenchment
plank as follows from the Republican county
platform:
Assemblyman Huber wished to present a
schedule, prepared after careful investiga
tion, whieli would save the county S?5000.
THE FIRST VICTIM .. .
County Clerk-elect Bell was the first
official to appear, with manifest reluctance,
before the assembly. The schedule of Mr.
lluber was read to him, ami he was asked il
he had any object ions to its active operation.
He most decidedly hail, and gave them. Ac-
curding to Lis views the county clerk is the
center around which all tilings revolve, and
any other office could lie cut with profit
except his own. He proceeded to catechise
Super, but Senator Bulla promptly sat upon
him, reminding him that the legislators were
not on the carpet.
Great surprise was shown by Mr. Bell when
asked if he hud not been nominated on the
. understanding that his salary and expenses
" Would be reduced. He said he did not know
'anything about that, had not read the reso
lutions, and did not believe that he ought to
sutler. According to him no reduction
had been made in assessments of candidates
by the central committee. With a due re
gard for his friends he thought that it
economy was necessary, it should, if possible,
be exercised in other departments.
When asked where the knife could be ap
plied he thought that in the matter of minor
supplies the county was too generous. All
the legislators had a turn at Mr. Hell, but
could get no further satisfaction from him.
Then Dr. Crawford of Pasadena, who
drew up the resolution under which the
present meeting w as held, made an argument
for economy. As he sat down Assemblyman
Miller proposed that the legislators draw up
an authorized schedule to govern their ac
tions. This motion did not pass.
Supervisor Davis presented reasons why
why the present road laws compelling the
board of supervisors to have plans made and
bids advertised for all work costing over
$300 be changed to a limit of ijilUUO. Ad
journment was then taken till 1:30. During
the interim the legislators were in executive
the present laws compelling the board
of supervisors to have plans made and
6essiou on the salary list question, which
was to bo resumed in the afternoon meeting.
First appeared Dr. Beach, who advocated
the appointment of a lirst assistant woman
physician nt all insane asylums.
AGAIN ON THE RACK
Mr. Bell was again placed upon the wit
ness stand, and said that as a further proof
that his clerks would be over-worked he
would say that the present number of depu
ties was the same as eight years ago, with
an increase in business of forty per cent. His
office was then dismissed, and the investi
gators went searching for the man who re
ceived too large a salary, since Mr. Bell did
not consider himself such.
Supervisor Hubbard believed that four
courts were sufficient to transact the county
business, and had been so informed by a
leading lawyer, whose name he did not
desire to mention. He also suggested that
reductions could be made in the auditor's
office by the abolishing of the duties of a re
demption clerk. To this the recently elected
auditor made reply that this clerk was an
essential with the present volume of busi
ness. Supervisor Davis contented himself
by responding "Possibly," and remarked'
that the supervisors also needed deputies, at
which Mr. Melick looked aghast, nnd re
marked that it could not be done, aud tlmt
the presently poorly paid supervisors would
. have to struggle along.
THE UNDER-PAID SHERIFF
Mr. Hammel, sheriff-elect, was asked as a
starter how he would like his|sajary reduced.
To this facer he replied that after the past
hard-fought campaign it would be ruinous,
and should not be thought of for an instant,
"flow about prisoners' teed?" asked Melick,
"Does the sheriff make anything':" Mr.
Hammel believed t hat affairs should be left
in statu quo, but admitted that the sheriff
looked to mnking a profit from such feeding,
and maintaining that, such was his right.
At this point Senator Simpson entered,
and before taking his seat asked if tho sheriff
did not charge mileage from Los Angeles
When a warrant was sent by mail to a dis
tant point to be served. It was drawn from
the witness that such had been the practice.
Another schedule drawn up by the cham
ber of commerce was here introduced, which
the legislators used henceforth as a standard
at whicli the coining office holders looked
sicker, if possible, than before, as it pro
vided for salary reductions amounting to
$55,015.
ANOTHER SUFFERER
Recorder Wade waa the first sufferer un
der the new criterion of salaries, and made a
inqat vigorous kick. He questioned tho
fight of the chamber of commerce to set a
standard of salaries for the highly efficient
men neoessary in county offices. lie bad
never read the platform on which he was
elected, but had he done so would have
fought the particular resolutions und secured
tho nomination afterwards.
Auditor-elect Nichols, when cross-exam
ined, Baid that he had earned $3000 per an
num in civil life, and since being in the city
office has worked harder for the same
money. As he expects to work still harder
for the eountv, he consequently deserves the
added $000.
By this time the legislators were wonder
ing where the over-paid officials were.
Treasurer-elect .Toneß did not think that he
was one, a* he had to give bonds which
cost him $375 per annum. Ho considered
his responsibilities very great, and in this
was corroborated by Cashier Fleishman of
the Farmers and Merchants' bank.
Some variety to the proceedings was
given by A. P. Griffith, who appeared in
behalf of the Citrus union high school,
which wished to receive a better building.
NO POSSIBLE REDUCTION
When Tax Collector Gish was asked
whether his prospective office could en
dure any cut in salaries or number of depu
ties, he did not know, but was naturally
opposed to any cut on bis own stipend, lie
was also asked if he had read the plank
tin the county platform, which lie sub
scribed to when nominated. lie had not,
nnd 'knew of-no candidate who had done
so. For himself, with tho experience
gained in the past campaign, he would not
have desired the office at $2100 per year.
District Attorney Rives ulso had not
read the famous resolution and would not
have subscribed to it had he done so. He
found a difficulty in getting competent
deputies at the present salary paid, and did
net believe that tlie district attorney
gained anything after Koinir out of office
by the prominence he had obtained..
When ,T. F. Striae had his turn before
the lawmakers he surprised the audience
and shocked his brother office holders by
answering that he had read the salary re
ducing resolution and understood its spirit.
He did not, however, think the cut should
come in his office. As a reward for lead
ing his party platform he was excused, after
some few questions.
IN THE SAME FIX
Mr. Colwcll was not present, and escaped
the searching investigation which Mr. Me
lick had in store for him.
Coroner Holland said ho was a rabid anti
reducionist, at least in respect to his office.
He hail served as coroner in Kansas, but
did not remember what he had received.
He had not read the Republican platform,
bat believed that he would save the county
more than any proposed reduction in his
pay, and considered the duties of his of
fice of bucli a nature as to warrant a good
■alary.
The next public administrator was not
present and Surveyor Smith was called for.
He was represented by W. 1!. Baker, who
said that Mr. Smith was in favor of having
his office put upon a salary instead of a per
diem basis of $10.
At this point the legislators wer cast
adrift without a rudder. Mr. Melick
asked helplessly what they were to do
With the troublesome plank in the plat
form. It would not do to disregard it,
and there appeared to be no way of ful
filling it, as tlfc-y had not yet found the
overpaid county officials, none of whom,
with the exception of Mr. Strine, appeared
to have read it.
As there appeared to bo no solution of
the problem* the members took a recess
until 7:30 p. ra., when the legislators went
| into executive session.
PERFUME CARRIED IN PILLS
Woman of Fashion Is a Walking Drug
Store Now
The young woman of fashion just at pres
ent is devoted to pills. She carries them
loose in her pocket, tucked in her corsage
or slipped in her glove.
The uninitiated might easily mistake her
for a walking medicine chest, but the up-to
date woman knows better.
She understands that the pills are war
ranted to be only sweet scented and that
they are tho latest substitute for the sachet
bag. The fragrant tablets or pills arc the
concentrated perfume of flowers. They give
just that faint, delicate suggestion of fra
grance desired by the refined woman.
In form they are most convenient, as they
are so small there is always room for them
everywhere. In addition to being slipped
in the belt and hidden away in the corsage,
they are sewed in the lining of the hat.
These tablets can be bought iv violet,
hi Ihtrope, white lilac and pctiti d'Espagne.
Perfumed flannel is anothea substitute of
the sachet bag much in use at present. It
is especially desirable sewed into the lining
of skirt and bodice.
What England Wants
Russia has been at no pains to conceal
her policy of "take all I can got and give
nothing." She has boon taking from China
all along, and so far we fall to see that
China has benefited in any single Instance;
therefore, why continue the unprofitable
game? If It Is terror, why does not China
grasp eagerly a! the substantial straw held
out to her by| England, and place the or
ganization of her army and navy in British
hands? In a very short time she would
then be In a position to make her own
terms with Russia, or with any other pow
er, and that is what England wants to see.

Ihe great Transpacific cable projected from the United States to the Philippines will be one of the most important media
of communication between the civilized nations of the earth. The plans under consideration contemplate connection with Ma
nila by the shortest possible route, and an examination of the above inup will clearly disclose this method. San Francisco is from
Honolulu, in the Hawaiian islands, a distance of 2089 miles. From Honolulu to Ualan island is 2518 miles; from Ualan island to
Guam island is a distance of 1200 milts, and from Guam to Manila a distance of 1300 miles for a cable, but about 1360 miles for a
steamer. By using the island of Ualan, or Strong's island, the cable will get a break in the great distance which it would otherwise
have to traverse. The proposed cable will yive every day information, of juat what ie going on in the new American colonies of the

INDIAN SCALPS TAKEN
PASADENA ELEVEN DEFEATS
THE PHOENIX TEAM
BY SCORE OF SIXTEEN TO SIX
One of the Local Team Ruled Off for
Slugging—lndians Make a
Costly Mistake
Victory refuses to alight upon the banners
of the dusky gladiators from the cactus
covered deserts of Arizona. For the third
time since they arrived in Southern Cal
ifornia have they been up against the "real
filing," and found to their sorrow that
.there were others who could play football.
A large crowd watched the Pasadena
Athletic ciub eleven put it over the Indians
yesterday afternoon on the Athletic Park
gridiron, in Pasadena. As usual, the In
dian eleven played clean, square football,
and did not indulge in any slugging. To the
disgrace of the Pasadena team, such can
not be said of the playing cf tome of its
members, and to such an extent was the
brutality carried that Thomas was finally
ruled off the field by the umpire. This de
cision almost caused a riot, but the official
was linn, and his prompt action put an end
to the digusting exhibition of slugging and
gouging that had been indulged in by the
players.
Pasadena won the game by end running
and magnificent defensive work on the part
| of the line men.
Williams, Ileitis and Mann did the
ground gaining for Pasadena, and through
their mutual support made several beauti
ful runs around the end. Fowler, Silvas,
Vavages and Mendoza were hard workers
on the Indian eleven, but their only gams
were made through the line and fumbles
at critical momenta lost several opportuni
ties to score.
i The toss went to the Indians, and Bettfs
kicked off for Pasadena. After several mass
plays had been successfully worked off
against Pasadena, the line braced up and
got the pigskin on downs. A series of pretty
end runy by llttti.- anil Williams landed the
leather behind the Indian goal, in posses
sion of Williams. Bettis kicked the goal.
Vavages' toe lifted the wind-bag forty yards
into Pasadena territory, but Bettis brought
it Back fifteen yards. Guarded by strong
interference and aided by his own fine
straight arm work, Williams cleared the
left tnd for a sixty-live yard-run, ending in
a touchdown, liettis failed to kick a hard
goal. Un the kick-off by Vavages, Williams
made a brilliant run of forty yards through
a scattered field. Clever dodging and
brushing shook off five tackles in succession.
A fumble gave the pigskin to the Indians,
who worked it down to the twenty-live
yard line, and tried to drop kick a goal, but
failed. A touchdown resulted, and after the
kickout the aborigines brought the ball to
the live-yard line aud tried the turtleback
wedge to make a touchdown. The wedge
worked nicely, but some one neglected to
bring the ball along and it was left lying
quietly to one side. Hayes found it, and
after carefully ascertaining that it was the
"real thing," started for the Indian goal
like a scared jack rabbit. Several bucks
started in full pursuit, but to no purpose,
for Hayes covered 105 yards and made the
third touchdown. Bettis missed an cany
goal. Another kick-off and two or three
plays ended the half with the score lti to U
in favor of Pasadena.
In the second half the endurance of the
Indians told, and they outplayed the Pasa
dena boys. The latter apparently, mad
dened by the brightening prospects of the
Indians, began a series of "rough house"
scrimmage!- that ended in the disqualifica
tion of Thomas by the umpire. The In
dians steadily forced the ball down the field,
and Manuel went over for (he touchdown.
Vavages kicked the goal. The pigskin see
sawed back and forth in the center of the
field until the end of the half, which found
i* in possession of the Indians on the Pasa
dena forty-live-yard line. Score during sec
ond half: Pasadena, 0; Indians, 0.

WHOLE CREW PUTS ON FLESH
Cargo of Arsenic Has a Remarkable
Effect on Seamen
Tlie German bark Zion, which arrived at
this port Sunday from Fowey, England,
brought a rather peculiar cargo. li con
sisted of ISOU cacks of china clay, but in ad
dition there were on board 300 casks of
arsenic. This part of the cargo had a re
markable effect on the crew. The fact
that arsenic, as well as strychnine, helps the
formation of adipose tissue when taken into
the human system in minute particles is
well known, and botli drugs have become
favorite tonics for convalescents. On
board the Zion the men slept very near the
large array of barrels containing the drug.
They were stored in the hold, near the fore
castle, aud partially exposed to the rays
of the sun, which streamed in through the
open hatch. When only about a week out
from port, one of the crew- mentioned in his
messmates that a peculiar and indescribable
odor was coming from the casks containing
the drug.
It was not long after their attention had
been called to it that they all noticed the
same thing, and, strange to say, noticed it
ali the more forcibly a week later. Several
of the German tars became aware of the
fact that they were filling out their clothes
to a much greater extent flian when they
shipped. Many others, as days went by,
became abnormally stout in vast contrast
to the former slim appearance which many
of them presented before the land was left.
One man gained, it is said, twenty-five
pounds. Others were affectcd'to a less ex
tent. But the aggregate weigh! put on by
the entire crew was little less than TOO
pounds.
Several of the sailors arc known he-re, and
they are said to be scarcely recognizable
when contrasted with the old days. The
entire sudden taking on of avoirdupois is
attributed to vapor, which, generated by
Ihe action of the sun on the casks, was in
haled by the seamen as they slept and arted
in precisely the same manner which it does
when given as a tonic in a prescription.
Captain Rammes, who slept aft in the ves
sel, entirely removed from the arsenic, does
not show any effect of the inhalation—Phil
adelphia Times. .£U«r-
PAT DIDN'T GET A FURLOUGH
| The Colonel Proved as Artistic a Liar
as His Private
| Here is a story told of Patrick O'Mars, a
private in the Ninth regulars: Not long ago
;he went to the colonel, who was a severe
disciplinarian, for a two weeks)' leave of ab
sence.
"Well," said the colonel, "what do you
j want a two weeks'" furlough for?"
Patrick answered: "lie woife is very sick
and the children aro not well, and if ye
I didn't mind she would like to have mchonio
| for a few weeks to give her a bit of aevist
; auce."
I The colonel eyed him for a few minutes
and sttid:
"Patrick, I might grant your request, but
jl got a letter from your wife l this morning
'saying that she didn't want you home; that
you were a nuisance and raised tlie devil
(whenever you were there. She hopes I
j won't lt't you have any more furloughs."
"That settles it. I suppose 1 can't get
the furlough, then?" said Pat.
"No, I'm afraid not, Patrick. It wouldn't
be well for me to do so under the circum
stance*.
It was Patrick's turn now to eye the
colonel, as he started for tbe door. Stop
ping suddenly he said:
I "Colonel, can I say something to yeas?"
I "Certainly, Patrick; wha\ is it?"
j "You won't get mad, colonel, if I say it?"
"Certainly not, Patrick; what is it?"
"1 want to say there are two splendid liars
.in this room and I'm one of them. I
was 1 never married in me loife!"—New York
i Tribune.
Our Collection of Southern Debts
Controller Tracewell rendered a decision
Monday which is calculated to create a
howl from the southern states. The state
of Virginia made a chin; for $3000 for arm
ing und equipping its troops during the war,
and it was approved by Secretary Alger on
Monday and turned over to the treasury de
partment for payment. Instead of issuing
a warrant for the amount named, Virginia !
was given credit for $3000 on some funds
which it owes the government. The fed- i
oral government purchased $593,000 worth j
of bonds issued by the state of Virginia, j
which fell due in 1894, upon which payment
[haa been defaulted. As it is impossible to
Isecure judgment against a sovereign state,
the government hasf not made any effort to
collect the money due it from the Old Do
minion, and as this is the first opportunity
it has had of reimbursing itself it was taken
advantage of. Tho states of Arkansas,
Florida, Xorth Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas are indebted to the
government to Ihe extent of $1,48'>,000 for
bonds which are he' 1 by the government,
ami which are overdue. Controller Trace
well will undoubtedly render a decision in
each case when the states present their war
claims in line with the one handed down on
Monday. It is believed that this will pro
voke a bitter debate in congress at the
next session, and if the decision should be
unheld it will become necessary for congress
to enact special legislation to reimburse
the states named for ccpiippiug their troops.
