1'lndlay Invited him Into the parlor nml
tnM him he need not worry about whnt
ho would be railed upon to do. He would
not have to even see any more than he
Wanted to. as there were kooi! fellow h ap

volvers and would see that no harm war
done to any one, for they eonld shoot.
He said that I'lndlay told him that
there wouldn't bo much to do anyway, as
"when they fret down to Owsley's oilier,
they will bq Used up flner'n silk." Thli
was In referring to the votes.
Mr. Canny testlllcd Hint the (list thins
Arthur Mnxet did In the moinfiiK when
they reached the pulling place was to
produce a cake of soap, with which hi
no.iped the windows over so that no one
could see iii from the outside. He then
.escribed how the ballot box was stuffed
by Moips during the afternoon and how
when he told Moses that they must re
member the law. Moses said "D the
law." Canny said olRht men were found
op the book registered from I'd Klnillay'a
house, of whom Arthur Moses was one,
mid that the name of Arthur Mason was
mastered from the house of lid Hndlay's
father, neft door. He never saw Arthur
"Mason," but his name was voted.
At one time one of the ch-rks propose,
that they put some more Democratic votes
In the box, but Martin, one of the judges,
looked ut the repistration book and said,
"Hoys, the book won't stand any more."
They had already put in a, larse number of
votes.
Canny described graphically how the bal
lot box una opened at. 1:1., o'clock, when
the crooked work beenn. He staid Moes
counted out IIS llcpubllean votes and laid
them face down on the table, lie then
wenl to n coal box or grain bin mid tool;
out H.1 straight Democratic voles already
made and marked A.. 1).. I-', and T., X., IT.
The e ballots were put In the box In place
of i he Itepublican . hallqts. which were
done up by Moses and taken over to rind
lay's house for the latter to read over nnd
examine. Later in the day another batch
of llftv-ilvo Itiirtibllcan ballots wiih taken
out of the box and as many straight-nut
Democratic votes were put Into the box In
their places.
When the cross-exmnlnatloTi was com

diate betrau to question the witness us to

whnt they will bring-, for the eonilltlon
of the world'n llnniices linve .much to
iii) with Hint, ns It has with diamonds,
though dealers frequently deny It.
Mr, Cornejo thinks he hns innde n rcn
.unable estimate. The penrls Iiiivp Just
been lorwuided by him lo Paris, which
Is the great market. Probably half of
them ut least will Ilnd their way bnck
here ngulii, for the Americans ure cre.tt
buyers nf penrls. The strnnge thhiR to
.Mr. Cottiejo Is that the amount neces
sary for American consumptionIf con
sumption it limy lie called should go to
Paris nt nil. Nevertheless, by so doing
they seem to be considered by American
buyers tu have nu ndilltlonnl value. This
Is ihe more strnnge, says a writer In the
San 1'rnnclsco l'xnmlnor, because: the
penrl, unlike the diamond, requires no
cutting or trimming, but Is set Just us
nature Innde It, und can be set hero
just t.s well ns anywhere else In the
world.
"The fishing se.iron along tho Inner
shine "f lower California," raid .Mnniigcr
Cornejo yesterday, "usually lasts
through July. August, September nnd
October, but this year we IHhed a little
litter. It being an unusually good year.
In taking the jsn.onn or JIOO.OOO worth or
pearls comprised In the teucup measure
ment we got about J'.OO tons of shells,
which wo will market largely here. The
schooner Kinmii, which arrived hero n
dny or two ago, brought fifty tons, which
will go to the new factory here. Of
these shells they will make buttons,
knife handles, and various other articles
uf utility nnd ornament. A good many
thousand dollars will be realized by us
from these shells.
"Of the pearls we got there are fifteen
0 fexceptlonal size, color and value. Tho
colors are white, blue, black and green,
and they are worth from $1,000 to $4,000
each. The finest was a huge black pearl
of seventeen carats weight. Then there
was a beautiful white pearl of llfteen
carats weight and a brilliant one of
ten carats. There were some large green
pearls, too, of exceedingly rare size nnd
beauty.
"The green and blue pearls are not
found anywhere except along the Lower
California .shores. The black and white
pearls are found In all the llsherles of
the world, htit scarcely ever as large as
these. Of the green and blue we found
all the dlffetent variety of shades. Two
or three of the blue pearls reached as
high as ten carats each. Altogether. I
consider this year's catch a remarkable
one.
"Our regular working outfit consists
of about 700 men. In counnectlon with
which we have seven schooners and
forty launches, each of the latter with
machinery and a diving apparatus
aboard. A sort of cage Is Ictitlowu from
the side of each boat Into which tho
shells are put as the diver llnds them.
"The divers work from live to six
hours, or say from (1 o'clock In the morn
ing till noon, which Is about as long as
they can well remain under water. The
remaining part of the day they are en
gaged In opening and cleaning the shells.
''Were the divers lo stay down longer
they would become weakened, because
working in the diving suits is not very
easy. Our divers are all native Indians
ot" Lower California. They are the best
1 ever saw.
"Our concessions Include about 1,000
miles of coast. We first got a concession
fur fifteen years, but this year we had It
extended to fifteen years longer. Tho
entire concession reaches from the mouth
of the Colorado river to Ouatemala. In
this immense region we had practically
two fishing grounds, one in the summer
along the shores of Lower California
and the other In winter along tho coasts
of Oaxaca and Ouerrero.
"The fishing season along the shores
of the latter states has Just begun. I
got a dispatch today from Mnnzanllln,
saying one of tho schooners near there
had a full cargo nf shells, and that
some fine pearls had been found in
them.
"The business n lpcarl fishing hns all
the attractions nnd fascinations uf min
ing. You never know what you have
got till you have a clean-up. All the
lime you are hoping and working with
Interest. The results of our ilshlng were
so good this season that I am greatly
gratified. Sometimes In a single year
we will not get more than one such
pearl as any of the llfteen of which 1
spoke.
"Kormorly we sent pearls to London
and Ooruiany, us well ns to Paris, but
now the demand seems to be greater at
I'.irls. and altogether we can do better
there than anywhere else. The strange
thing to me Is why Americans place a
higher value on the pvarls after they
have been to Paris. They could really
buy them cheaper ut homo If they only
chose to.
"They won't have It that way, though.
They want them lo go over there and
be handled and talked up by the I'Vench,
and then they attach a greater value
to them and have to come up und pay
for II. It's a very Interesting and ainus
In gthlng to me that I have to ivnch
home customers through a foreign mar
ket. Still, if it pleases them, I am sat
iMled. I only speak of the peculiar con
ditions that surround Ihe man who
catches peai Is In thel American witters."
The Lower California Pearl Company
has the greatest llsherles now worked
anywhere In the world, and their ceg
ular output Is said to oxeced any else
where. The "teacupfiil," of which Mr.
CiirneJo spoke, amounts lo about 100
caiats.
Mr. Cornejo wears a large and very
rare green pearl, surrounded by dlmonils.
It was taken In the gulf, near La P.iz,
and Is a gem greatly prized by him.
"I have beep in the business a long
time," said In-, "and like It very much.
There are four brothers of us in the
company now. Wo lately bought all the
Mock and now conduct Hie business en.
tirely. One brother lives in the Cty of
.Mexico, attending to nip interests then!,
and tho rest of us live, at La IMb nnd
elsewhere in Lower California.
"Not long since a very correct account
nf our llsherles and the manner of taking
ami cleaning Ihe shells and saving ihe
pearls was published by tho llnlto
Stated government, accompanied by
soma good pictures, I ilnd tint Interest
in tho llslieiies Is growing. As fop the
demand for pearls, that is pretty steady,
though it lluctuutes some, as with all
things thut become n matter of purchase
by tnt people,"

there be anything detrimental to the
health In light, sweet bread containing
these Ingredients?
The question asked Involves much
careful thought nnd cotisidetiitlon. In
tho last few years o much has been
said nlinttt bacteria that one Is afraid
to eat bread made In this way, for fear
of some poisonous mlcro'iirgalilzatlon
which Is unknown and may be detri
mental. Individually, says Mrs. Hob
rcr, I run cay that not until I was is
years old did I ecl- see n piece of yeast
bread. In my father's house we Used
entirely salt-rising bread, and, as you
probably know, I am a very fair speci
men of what the world calls good health,
I am not prepared In say whether or not
blend made after the formula given is
unhealthy, or, as you say, detrimental
to health. 1 am not fond of the yeast
plan, and I ant sure that salt-rising
bread will not give rise to as much In
testinal fermeiilatlun ns that made from
yeast. Now, there may be some other
reason why it should not he used. Many
years ago Professor Hotsford had a
great deal to say on Hie art of bread
making, and 1 Mtiole from hint, ns he
speaks of salt-rising bread! "To be good
that .Is, light and palatable it must
be rotten! consequently it Is not 111 for
food," Ills Ideal lonf was nut tie from
the whole wheat grain, ground, lifter
It had been carefully harvested and
watched to the mill. However, In these
days we would scarcely rely on such
authority ns Hollows on the food ques
tion, his theories having died out many
years ago. If you teinember, lie In
sisted on people eating llsh, ns It was
brain food, a theory which exploded
deservedly so. Fishermen who eat large
quantities of fish do not, as it rule, dis
play any brilliancy over the average
butcher. Whole wheat flour, I have no
doubt, contains the proper brain mak
ing food.

Trnieler.
Lord l-'ltznoodlc, the second cousin of
Lord Ibindie.iry, had. with Ills valet, the
estimable James Yellowplush. come to
America and gone West In the hope of
bagging a few grizzly bears and buffaloes.
America and the Americans seemed to the
noble lord "beastly vulgar, dnneher know,'
and this opinion he frankly told those
Americans whom he favored with his lonl
Iv so. ictv, say- the Itoi,lnn Itudg.-t. Never
theless, fate i ompelled him to accept as u
unvoting companion a rampant American.
They were traveling on horseback a.-ioss
the prairies, and one day, after a ain
search for the settlement 111 which th y
were to spend the night, they came lo a
ei oss road which boasted of charcoal
blacksmith's hut nnd a sign post. The sign
read; "Mngg's corner, four miles on the
right-hand load. If you can't read ask the
blacksmith."
Thereat the American laughed long and
loud, but the Hnglishman remained silent
and pensive.
"I say. my good fellow," he expostulated.
"I ouw'nt see the Joke, iloiuhcr know.
What l It?"
"If you don't see It," replied the Ameri
can, "1 shall tell you. Hut I will tell you
what t wilt do. If VOII see it hefoie we
leave the Inn to-morrow I'll pay the bills."
All through the rest of the day and even
ing the Ihigllshninn remained silent. He
was working the brain nf live centuries of
culture. When tho American retired to Ids
straw matiress theie had as yet dawned no
gleam of intelligence on the ICiiKlii-hman's
lace. lint In the middle of the night the
former was uwnkened hy a loud knock on
his door, nceomiiunleil by u heam laugh.
"1 say, me good man," came the voice, "it
fs n good Joke, doncher know. Suppose the
blacksmith should be out?"

there Is now a diplomat ol more or less
prominence In the foreign service here who
Is looking for the blood of an American
correspondent on the score of un Insult re
iqived In the theater. They were both
sinndlng link of the rail In the National
tin. other evening dining the peiioriiuince
of the "Little Trooper." The sprightly Del
la had jusi gnl through wllh her duel
-ceiie, and the clioius bloke out after the
manner of choruses, to close up tho act
Ills diplomats was quite taken with the
performance.
"Ah, quite clevuh." lie ejaculated, "very
eleviih sword play for girls; let's have that
again," and he commenced lo applaud,
"ijnlte i-leMih," he Insisted, tinning lo tho
newi-papei in. m standing alongside of him.
"Won't you join me in this encnie?"
"Well, you'ic seen it oiien," ivn the
dry response of the blase leportei. "If yon
want to see It again, why don't you come In
to-morrow nlghi?"
The legatloner was quite taken off his feet
by this unexpected rejoinder, mid fulled
entirely to see any humor In It. "1 er
don't you know I consider you qullo im
pertinent," exclaimed the nould.be eiicorer.
"s-e In fact, think you are no gentle
man." "And do you know what I think of you?"
was tin. easy icpiy. "I think you are no
Judge."
And the foreigner, who was looking for at
least a c)i.illena to a duel, collapsed ut
this Indifference to the code, while the
correspondent and his next door neighbor
went out to get .i drink.
