VOLUME LXXXI.-NO. 120. WITHDRAWING THE TROOPS. Trouble at the Washington Mines Believed to be Over. ONLY ONE COMPANY TO BE LEFT ON THE FIELD. Xo Further Attempt to be Mado to Disarm Strikers Governor Ferry Opposed to Declaring Martial Law, Thinking That tho Civil Power Has Not Boon Exhausted—The Strikers Reported to bo loosing Heart, and Many Anxious to Return to Work. Special io the Kr.conn-UNiON. Seattle, July 10.—General Curry had a conference last night with Governor Ferry at Olympiaand urged further meas ures to restore order at the mines. The Governor was averse to declaring martial law until the civil power has been exhausted, and accordingly General Curry telegraphed Colonel Haines to re quest tho County Commissioners to meet him to-day. At Newcastle last evening a man named Carey was stoned by a striker named WalL who had been evicted from the house Carey now occupies. Wall was ar rested by a Deputy SherilF and great ex citement followed, but he was afterward released. A commission of citizens at Black Dia mond which was appointed to secure tho surrender of arms, has resigned, admit ting that its mission has utterly tailed. The strikers are reported to be losing heart, and the more conservative of them are anxious to go to work. They are only restrained by the more radical, who be come belligerent as their, cause becomes mre desperate. A t a conference this evening between the county officials and General Curry and Colonel Haines of the militia it was decided, to reduce the force at the mines from five to throe companies, leaving tho cavalry in the held, as Governor Ferry thinks the civil power has not been ex hausted.

Ronthaie* opened with a fifteen minute talk explaining the topic was not to consider the relations of the society to the church, for the society is the church. His speech was the introduction of one of the most interesting general exercises. From all over the hall tho delegates were on their feet with minute suggestions as the work of tho society. Responses came so fast that each remark seemed to be tho signal for a fresh burst of applause. Sr. Hoyt called for a vote from the pastors on the loyalty of the society to the church, and from ail over the immense hall came the response, which was ac knowledged by applause from the young people. Rev. Dr. Dille of Oakland, Cal,, consid erod "The Society and tho Church Offi cers." He believed tho Endeavor move ment w.is the arrival of reinforcements which have, been needed by the church, and the lull development of this movement meant the conversion of all the children of to-d.ty and a millennium in thirty years. Rev. Dr. Warden of Philadelphia had for his topic "The Society and Sunday school." He did not believe in suppres sing tho young people. Every one in the Sunday-school above the infant class should be in a Christian Endeavor So ciety. Ira D. Sankey sang "Only Remembered by What We Have Done," after asking a silent prayer for Dr. Spurgoon. Singing and adjournment followed. At lr.'JO o'clock a committee meeting was held to consider the question of Sunday observance and tho closing of the Colum bian Exposition on Sunday. A meeting of all the Methodist delegates was held in the Centenary Church at 1:30 o'clock. At tho afternoon session a number of topics were considered and several ad dresses were made. ON THE TURF.

SACRAMENTO, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1891. KEYSTONE BANK FAILURE. Postmaster-General Wanamaker on the Witness Stand. HE RELATES HIS TRANSACTIONS WITH THE BANK Ilorrtblo Tragedy Enacted in Ellis, Nob. John Puterbaugh, Crazed From the Effects of La Grippe, Murders His "Wife and Children, and then Sends a Bullet Through Ills Own Brain. Spocial to the Recohd-Ukioit. Philadelphia, July 10.—The Bards ley Investigating Committee held another session to-day, at which Fostmaster- General Wanamaker testified concerning his transaction with the Keystone Bank, and a statement made by Bardsley to edi tor Me Wade of tho Ledger was for the lirst time made public. It proved to be a long interview, in which Bardsley again went over tho story of the Keystone Bank, and stoutly maintained that he mit the §930,000 in the bank, but did not know what became of it. Bardsley said that Bank Examiner Drew had been a heavy borrower from the Keystone Bank, and he was completely under the thumb of Lucas and Marsh. In regard to John Wanamaker, Bards loy said that Marsh told him that Wana maker knowingly held over-issued bank stock, demanded $100,000 for it, and upset the plans for reorganizing the bank. Marsh retained Sulzberger and Johnson as counsel, and they made a demand on Wanamaker, which he refused, propos ing that the Lucas estate should pay him 150,000, Marsh 925,000 and tho bank 825, --000. The lawyers then notified Wana maker that if the fraudulent shares were not delivered at a specified date they would resort to legal measures. The shares were then turned over without delay. Bardsley asserted than Wanamakor had made a threat that he would see Comp troller Looey and have the bank closed before they expected it. In March, IKX), Marsh came to him and said Wanamaker wanted 8200,000 at once, and Bardsley let Marsh have the money. Bardsley "also talked a great deal about his connection in the past with several prominent Phil adelphians, and blamed them for the stand they had taken against him. Speaking of the scheme to get the gas works from the city, Bardsley asserts tbat Colonel McClure, of the Tones, was in it. McClure was to got a big block of stock for his advocacy in his paper, and was not to pay a cent for it. Regarding the payment of 8500 to Hugh Mullen, Bardsley said Mayor Fitler wanted Mullen appointed Mercantile Ap praiser, and William M. Singerly, of the Record, wanted Richard J. Lerfnon ap pointed to the same place. Alterward Bardsley learned that Mat Quay and the Auditor-General were pushing General Albert Crawford for the same place. The result was that overtures were made to Siiigerly to draw Lennon out of the fight, and he was promised that if Lennon was taken out $100,000 State money would be deposited in the Chestnut-street Bank. This was done, and Mayor Fitler got an gry at what he claimed to be a, broken promise. Bardsley then paid Mullen to redeem the promise to the Mayor. Bardsley said B. B. Yard got a great deal of Keystone money. He was in the pool with Lucas and' Mash, and Marsh allowed him to overdraw his account $(•0,000, even when the run on the bank was going on. The remainder of the statement was simply a long story of Bardsley's trouble, containing no new facts. Yard was then called, but did not re spond, his counsel announcing that his case had been appealed. The committee instructed the City Solicitor to take steps to compel Yard to appear. Then Postmaster-General Wanamaker appeared. He said he never pledged over-issued stock after he was told it was an over-issue, and it was out of his hands at the time. He did not know Yard, and had never met Mrs. Lucas but once. Asked what transpired between him and Marsh at Washington, he said Marsh asked him to assist the bank, and ho de clined. Wanamaker said his firm's bal ance in the Keystone bank at the time of the run was 310,000, and when it closed it was much larger. The last money re ceived from the bank was about a year before the bank closed, and the last dis count was obtained in October, 18001 As to the story told by Bardsloy about threats to close the bank, and tuat law yers compelled him to return the stock, Wauamaker said it was absolutely false. Granville Haines and Samuel B. Huly came to Washington to sets him about over-issue stock, and he told them they must settle for it. and if they did not, in justice to himself, he should inform tho Comptroller of Currency. After tho bank closed he gave up the stock. Bardsley's statement that Marsh ob tained from him ?215 shares which ho testified had been given him by Lucas to use as collateral for a deal in Heading. "When I appeared before the commit tee," said Mr. Wauamaker, "I confined myself principally to the business of the linn. In my deals with Lucas in Read ing I had in my head certain private matters, but did not suppose the commit tee wanted to hear of his private opera tions." Wanamaker then again referred to tho 2,514 shares which he had held as collat eral, and gave the committee a list of those he had turned over to tho Lucas state. That some of those shares had been at one time in his name he did not state, as he had not used them in any operation. In regard to the stock found in his name, 825 shares of it, he said was held by Irvin tV: Toland, his bankers, as collateral. This reduced it to 2,008 shares of stock. Of these, five blocks of 200 shares each were dated March 3, lS8»i t and whilo issued in his name, tho power of attorney had never been in dorsed by him, and they could never have been used. The next lot of rive blocks of 200 shares each were dated four weeks earlier. He was a Director in the Grand Trust Company, and Lucas came to him and asked him to obtain him a loan of $40,000 on stock. "I have been just foolish enough all my lifo," continued Mr. Wanamaker, "to do those things, and 1 got tho money on the stock and gave it to him. A consider able time afterward it was paid off by tho Lucas estate, and they got the stock back." Wanamaker also presented the com mittee with a letter from Lucas of May 28, 1888. inclosing money to pay interest on the loan. "Of the other unused five blocks of sto; k," said Wanamaker, "my impress ion i« that Lucas first intended to ask for a larger loan, and so issued them. It was never used, however, as it could not have been without my indorsement. I know of no other stock, but remember that ten years ago, when Lucas was securing con trol of tho bank, he came to me and said ho did not want the people to know who certain stock belonged to, and for a time placed some in my name. "In regard to certificate No. 450, which was transferred by Yard to Scuddor A Durham of Trenton, that is part of the stock on which the loan from the trust company was secured, and after the Lucas estate got it back it was very likely passed over to Yard again to raiso money on." Wanamaker then again went over, at some length, the transactions in Reading in which Lucas was a partner, and said when a settlement was made President Marsh admitted in the presence of throe witnesses that the Lucas estate owed him $15,000. The fact that some of the certifi cates held as collateral by Irwin and To laud were dated after Lucas' death was due, he said, to the fact that the broker would not handle them while in the dead man's nanie. In closing his testimony Wanamaker read a letter from Comptroller Lacey and Assistant Secretary Nettleton, to show that ho never influenced nor delayed for an instant the appointment of a receiver for tho Keystone Bank. A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. John Putorbatißh Murders His Family and Suicides. Omaha (Xeb.), July 10.—A special tele gram to the Omaha Bee from Ellis, Xcb., says: Sometime last night the most hor rible tragedy ever enaetod in this section of Nebraska occurred. This afternoon Mrs. Dr. Allen of Beatrice came to Ellis on a visit to her brother, John H. Puter baugh, who lives a mile and a half south of town. She was driven to the farm by Louis Petting, and knocked at the door, but received no response. They entered, the door not being locked, and found a hor rible state of affairs. Her brother was lying on the floor, his face covered with blood. In the bed was the mother, with a bullet through her head. In the bed wiUi her was a two-year-old baby, also shot through the head. In the room was another bed, occupied by two young girls, 13 and 15 years respectively, both dead, with bullet holes in their heads. How they met their terrible fate is yet unknown. The general belief is that the terrible deed was the work of the hus band and father. The faces of tho dead, although covered with blood, were calm, a.s though sleeping. All seemed to have been killed while sleeping, and were shot directly through the skull. Putorbaugh was not a drinking man. He suffered from the grip last spring, and since then has not been in the best of health. It is thought that ho killed his family and then suicided. CALIFORNIA FRUITS.

Chinese Convicted of Illegal Entry Must Go Back to China, NO MATTER FROM WHAT COUN TRY THEY CAME. Tho Department of Agriculture Issues a Bulletin on the Condition of Crops at tho End of tho Month of June—The First Installment of the New Two Per Cent. Bonds to bo Ready for Delivery on the 23d of the Present Month. Special to th« Rkcoko-U^tok. Washington, July 10.—Assistant Sec retary Spaulding has instructed the Col lector of Customs at Port Huron, Mich., in tho case of a Chinaman arrested for i illegal entry, to send him to San Fran- cisco for deportation to China. A con troversy has arisen between the Treasury Department and certain United States Commissioners at Detroit and Suspension Bridge, X. V., as (o the disposition to be made of Chinamen convicted of being illegally in the United States. The law says they shall be returned to tho country "whence they came." Tho department holds that this means they shall be sent to China, notwithstanding they may have entered the United States from Canada or other contiguous territory. The Com missioners in the cities named have re cently, in cases where it was proved that Chinamen were smuggled in through Canada, ordered their return to Canada, despite the protestations of Assistant Secretary Spuulding, who says they should have been sent to San Francisco for deportation to China. The subject was referred to Attorney-General Miller for his opinion. MUST GO TO CHINA. Washington, July 10.—Attorney-Gen eral Miller has given an opinion to the Secretory of the Treasury that the Chi nese restriction laws require that Chinese convicted of illegal entry into the United States shall be returned to China regard less of the fact that they may have act ually entered the United State's from con tiguous territory" such as> Canada or Mcx ico. THE COUNTRY'S CROPS. Bulletin Issued From the Department of Agriculture. Washington, July 10.—The report of tho Department of Agriculturo makes the acreage, compared with the breadth har vested last year, of corn, 108.3; potatoes, 102.3; tobacco, 102.6. The condition of the corn is 9-1.8; winter wheat, 9t».2; spring wheat 94.1; rye. 93.9; oats, 87.G; bariey 90.9; potatoos, 95.3; tobacco, 91.1. The increase in the corn acreage is more apparent than real. A compromise is made with the breadth harvested hist year, when the loss was heavy on on ac count of the drought, The present re turn makes tho acreage slightly leas than 78,000,000 acres, or somewhat smaller than the area actually planted last year. The crop is late in all sections on ac count of drought and unfavorable conditions at the planting and tho cool weather during May, but June was warmer, with abundant moisture, and the crop was coming forward rapidly July Ist. In the Ohio and the Upper Mississippi Valleys, the progress during the month was especially gratifying, but in Kansas and Nebraska considerable damage re sulted from the excessive rainfall. In many districts the June rains prevented proper working, leaving the tields foul. But a few days of sunshine would rem edy this. The general average is a fraction below that of (888 and 1800, and slightly above that of 1889. The average of the surplus States are; Ohio, 93; Indiana, 95; Illinois, 9t>; lowa, 94; Missouri, 88; Kansas, 82- Nebraska, 90. The condition of winter wheat returned is practically the same as in June. The crop is harvested except in its more northern habitat, With a condition the highest reported since 1579, with one exception, the* aver ages of the principal States are: Penn sylvania, 98; Ohio, 97; Michigan, 89; In diana, Ji9; Illinois, 93; Missouri, 98; Kan sas, 94; California, 98. The condition of spring wheat has im proved during June, the advance being in Minnesota and the Dakotas, where the month was exceptionally favorable. The j cinch bugs have appeared in the North west, but with no appreciable damage j yet. The State averages are: Wisconsin, i 77; Minnesota, 93; Nebraska, 0(5; lowa, Bg: North Dakota, 98; South Dakota, 97; Washington, 93. Oats improved during tho month, but j the general average is the lowest reported since 1879, except 1887 and last year, when the July condition was 81.(5, followed by a practical failure of the crop. Tho poor j condition generally is the result of drought early in the season, tho present improvement having followed seasonable ruins and the high temperature of Juno. The lirst return ot potatoes shows the condition higher than the average of re cont years, while that of tobacco is higher than io any year since INSti. The fruit prospect is very nattering in New Eng land and the North Atlantic States and wept of the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. The crop in Ohio and Michigan was materially damaged by frosts in j May. A special cablegram from the European ageut indicates a heavy deficiency in the European crop.

THE NEW BONDS. The First Installment Will Bo Heady on the 83d Inst. Washington-, July 10.—The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has commenced the work of preparing the new bonds bearing 2 per cent, interest which are to be issued in continuance of the 4} per cent, loan, and it is intended that tho first installment shall be ready for deliv ery on Thursday, the 23d inst. In the meantime the applications already re ceived are being recorded, and the first lots of 4£ per cent, bonds for continuance will bo passed through tho Secretary's oflico on Saturday of this week. Tho owners of the bonds may therefore ex- j pect to receivo in a very lew days their checks in prepayment of tho interest to September 2, 1891, while the new bonds i will follow promptly on their receipt j from the Bureau of Engraving and Print ing. The force employed on the work to be done in the department has been care fully organized, and it is thought that there will-be no delay in settling the I cases as they are presented; but from the j manner in which the national banks are j responding, it is oxpected that there is j plenty of work ahead in the loan division, j GAS FAILING. Scare in the I^arge Manufacturing Centers in Central Ohio. Sfrtngfield (O.), July 30. —There is a scare in the large manufacturing centers in central Ohio, which is so in the case of Springfield, Dayton and mauy oi' the smaller towns which are supplied with natural gas from the Mercer County fields. The largest company in tho lield drilled in eighty-six wells at a cost of $135,000. Twenty of the wells have been exhausted and fifteen more will be aban donded within sixty days,, leaving tifty one wells on the line, and somo of these not very strong. Several of tho wells were tested and it was found that the rock pressuro was 240 to 375 pounds to the square inch. When tho flold was first opened the pressure was from 27f> to BSO pounds. An expert concludes that this pressure is too weak to force gas as long a distance as at present, and thinks the natural gas sup ply for central Ohio will soon be; ex hausted. Vast interests are involved. HOPE DEFERRED. It Looks a* Thotiffh sV>rsyth's .Nom ination Will I>u: expressing- no opinion as to the accusations. Tho Di roctory's action ou tho report was of equally negative character. Forsyte's nomination was neither con firmed or rejected. It whs simply re ferred back to the National Board of Con trol. Diroetor-Cieneral Davis to-day nom inated Millard A. Smith, of tho "Railway Age, as Chief of the Transportation De partment, and James Allison, who was lieneral Superintendent of the Cincin nati Exposition, to be Chief of the De partment of Manufactures. Both names were confirmed by tho Directory and the Board of Control. PEOPLE WHO ARE TALKED ABOUT. Mrs. Oscar Wildo wears divided skirts, which is not all strange. There has to be somebody with pants on in every family. Frank Ingalls, a younger brother of the ex-Senator, is President of Drury Col lego at Springfield, Mo. lie is tall and slender. King Milan, it appears, leads a some what enviable existence in Paris. Ac cording to Figaro, ho recently won 138, --000 francs at baccarat within forty-eight hours. George Gould passes his .summer in a log cabin in the Catakills. It is not stated whether he wears patches on his pants, but ho probably does. At any rate, lie can afford to. As Professor Harrington, the new Weather Chief, is an astronomer, he will doubtless so regulate the other planet's that they will act on our own sphere so as to modify all extremes of weather. Count Wilhelm Yon Mollko, the head of the Yon Moltke family, has decided t convert his uncle's study at Kreisan into a memorial museum. Everything will be left just as it was when the great field marshal took his last journey to Berlin. R. D. Blackmore, the British novelist, is a hearty and well-preserved man of 66 years. He looks much like a typical back-country squire, and rarely appears in society, preferring to live the lift of a literary recluse. He is an Oxford gradu ate and a lawyer. Foreign papers announce that an en gagement has been arranged between tho young King of Servia and Princess Xenia, the daughter of the Prince of Montene gro. The young lady is only 11 years of age. It has long been known that the Czar favored such a match. The remarkable interest displayed by the secular press in tho election oY I'iiil j lip Brooks as Bishop of Massachusetts is, perhaps, without a parallel in that class of affairs. And now a widespread de mand by these papers for greater prompt ness on the part of the bishops in confirm ing the choice is noticeable. Uncle Jerry Rusk, of the National De partment of Agriculture, says that the re port that ho mixed up the edible and poisonous mushrooms in his last annual report, is absolutely false. He has had sufficient experience on tho farm to know the difference between a common toad stool and ono that dame nature has loaded for poisonous work with people of perverted tastes. John M. Wilson, who died at his home in New Holland, Ohio, on June 12th, was for many years in the Consular service. He was Consul at Bremen under Presi dent Grant, and under President Hayes he served as Consul at Hamburg and Panama. On tho election of President Cleveland ho returned home, somewhat broken in health. He had an excellent record in the State Department. A man ofJansen, Fla., will realize §0, --000 this year from an acre of pineapples, while Major Ryals of Chatham County, Georgia, has a truck farm of 12.> acres, near Savannah, which yields him.?lo,oooa year. His chief crop is Irish potatoes, of which ho has eighty acres. In addition, he raises cabbages, tomatoes, beans, cu cumbers, onions and other small vege tables. His incomo from onions is §700 an acre. Scholarship iv Germany suffered a great loss by tho death of Professor An ton Springer, in Leipzig, a few weeks ago. Dr. Springer was only tt> years of age. Ho had been a Professor in tho University of Leipzig since lStki. His principal works are: of the History of Art," "History of AiLs in the Nineteenth Century," "History of Aus tria Since tho Peace of Vienna." and "Raphael and Michael Anjjelo." Prince Dolgoroukotf, who died in Paris July Ist, was born in 1810 and entered the Guards in 1829. Ho served in the Polish war and displayed great bravery in the assault of Warsaw. Later on ho served in. the Hungarian campaign, and also in the Crimea. He was appointed Governor of Moscow in iSf>T>. His" ances tor, Prince Michael Vsevolodovich of Tchernigof was executed by the Tartars in lU4G, and has been regarded as a mar tyr. General Butler's wife was with him most of the time during tho war, and he says: "Thus I had the advantage over most of my brother commanding Generals in the field in having an adviser, faithful and true, clear-headed, conscientious and conservative, whose conclusions could always bo trusted. In the mere military movements, although she took full note, she nover interfered by a suggestion, lor in regard to them I relied upon the opin ions of my valued, accomplished and effi cient staff." Beethoven's Flemish ancestry has been proved by the discovery in Bonn of a his tory of the Beethovens sir.cc 206 years ago. Tho composer's great-grand father lived in Antwerp in 1700. His son Lewis, in consequence of family quarrel, left Antwerp at about that time and got a po sition as tenor in the royal choir in Bonn. Ills son Jean, Beethoven's father, was a .singer in tho same choir. The last mem ber of the Antwerp branch of the family was the mother of Jacob Jacob, a marine painter, who several years ago enjoyed a European reputation. She was Maria, i Theresin van Beethoven, and she died in I January, 1524. "Can't the Lord Make Them White?"

At 8 o'clock this morning the Kmperor reviewed tho Qneen'ti Westminster Vol unteers n the lawn of Buckingham Palace. After this review tho German ruler enjoyed a liiriit breakfltattfnd then visited the Nival Exhibition; Leaving the exhibition the Emperor returned to Buckingham Palaco and retired to his private apartments in order to tranact public business oonaected with the man Empire. Precisely at noon tho Royal State carriage left Buckingham l'alace for QuildhalL As the procession lea tho palace from all over the city peate of beDs rang out and announced that the Imperial pageant bad commenced. The decorations w< superb, every inch of the way from the Strand to Guildhall abounding in color. The Emperor's ilags weir to be seen everywhere.ana conspicuous among them were hundreds of American Bags, alone: witli the bunting of every nation. The appearance of Emperor William was the sign for tremendous cheering. <)n the way to tin- Thames embank ment, at Lndgate circus, where the rougher element' of the city was packed i;%. all tiie numerous thoroughfares branching into that much-frequented center, there were somewhat exciting in eMents. This rowdy element had been getting up steam on beer and gin for hours, and had worked itself into a frame of mind well adapled to giving the Prince of Wales or anybody else a warm recep tion. While waiting for the ht ir apparent there were a number of lively scrisa inages between hoodlums and the police. in which the latter generally managed to come out aheaß, and which ended tit one or more rufiians being relegated to tho rear and thence escorted to the p. station. When the Prince of rriagc appeared the mob was in condition touo unpleasant things. The authorities, ii us understood, received an intimat the roughs were preparing to give the Prince-.a distinctly hostile reception. In any ease, when the carriage containing the Prince and Princess oi' Wales passed through Ludgate Circus, it was driven at a decidedly rapid pace, SO much so that. the carriage had passed the dangerous spot before the main body oftheorowd was aware that the Prince was in their midst. As it was, however, in spito of the presence of the Princess of Wales be side him, the Prince was greeted with repeated outbursts of jeering and ''Ixjot* ings," which wore only slightly set off by a few faint cheers. In the face of this hostile demonstra tion, the Prince, apparently unmoved, looked straight to ins front* and passed the excited crowd, and made no attempt to return a salute to the weak cheering which broke out in opposition to ihe "boorings," etc. The reception accorded to the Prince of Waleswatun strong contrast to the hearty ringing cheers which the lmko of Con naught, his brother, was greeted by Lud gate circus by the crowd, as tho" Duke passed over the samo ground. The reception of the Prince of Wales was of a mixed character, though on the whole it was favorable. The imperial party reached (JuihThall at 1:25 o'clock. Tho Lord Mayor received tho guests at the entrance, and tho pro cession wan formed and moved to tho library. Here the Court of Common Council was held. The Recorder road tho address to his majesty, declaring that the Lord Mayor and Corporation ex tendod a .sincere welcome, and declaring that his visit to the Queen was a happy augury of the continuance of the friendly and affectionate relations so long existing between the two nation;-. The address was presented :n a splendid gold casket, richly enameled ami studded with jewels. The Emperor replied to the address, ex pressing thanks for the -welcome ex tended him. Me said ho would always, as far as it lay in his power, maintain tho historical friendship existing between England and Germany. Continuing he said: "My aim is, above all, the maintenanco of peace; for peace aloue tun give that confidence necessary to a healthy de velopment of Science, art and trade. OnJy. SO long r.s peace remains wo aro at liberty to bestow earnest thoughts upon great problems for the solution of which, in fairness and equity, I consider the most prominent duty of our time. I shall always bo found ready to unite with you, and with other nations, in the com mon labor for peaceful progress, friendly intercourse and tho advancement of civilization." A dejeuner in Guildhall followed tho proceedings in tho library. M.-VY visit THE UKITKD STATES. Hambttug, July iO.-An officer of the new- Hamburg-American steamship Fuerst Bismarck, on board of Which vessel the Emperor and Kmpress of Qer many recently wont to Heligoland, made a somewhat curious statement in regard to the alleged possibility of tho imperial couple visiting the United States. This oflicer said ho heard tho Empress ask her husband whether he would go to tho United .Stales in the Fuerst Bismarck. To this Question the Emperor is .snid to have replied, smiling: "Do you roally think "wo should go to tho United States?" Prlrehnrd Defeats Smith. London.

Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, in a popular peri odical, asserts that it is the easy entrance into the ranks of literature which is the great cause of what ever social contempt clings to the profession. Her explana tion is that "a man who goes into a large trading business, or who spends years in preparing for the law, gives society a bond for his respectability. He lias in vested either time or money, perhaps both. But a pretense of literature is too often used by the lazy and vicious as a cloak for their evil lives, and thus the noblest of professions becomes a kind of a cave of Adullam, to which men of un steady habits and women of doubtful re spectability resort. A sprightly fancy, a ready wit, a knowledge of life, a soured disposition able and unscrupulous enough to write scurrilous personalities, axe all the introduction needed to the daily press, where the demand is con stant, and tho availability depends more on the mental than the moral qualities of its servants." This is a severe arraignment, but it be hooves us to inquire how much of truth there is in it. It will scarcely be denied that there is woful looseness not only about tho admission of people to the liter ary columns of the press, but there is an absolute bidding for a class of writers whose only claim to attention is their ability to wound the feelings, assail mo tives and impugn the noblest efforts of men and women in behalf of humanity. These writers, if gifted with a large vocabulary of fluent expression and the sarcasm and coarseness which so often pass for wit, find very little difficulty in obtaining not only place for their wares, but coin also, where real merit that i 3 dean and modest is refused. "Writing under anonymity in most cases until they have gained notoriety, the scurril ous scribblers assume, when they do un cover, to be critics, censors and autocrats of society. There is no privacy too aacred for invasion by them, no character too clean for their assault, no heart so bruised and sore as to excite their pity and in voke their mercy. These wolfish writers, who swarm in tho press, have, however, no real standing in literature and therein lies the error of Mrs. Barr. She assumes that these birds of prey, in seven cases out of ten unclean and disreputable in their liftes, are in literature. They are in print, but, as she is herself driven to admit, they are in no sense men and women of letters. If any of them do, upon the strength of their newspaper writing and alleged wit, attempt to force themselves into decent society, they should be as promptly as they would be justifiably ejected. The writing of a brilliant paper is no index to charactor; where it is claimed to be the equivalent of a letter of introduc tion, regardless of the personality, society deserves no reproach if it holds the so called literature of the class that marks want of character in contempt. And much the same may be said of art and music as disguises. If the genius of the artist and the ability of the musician are to be the sole passports to communion with the people who hold character to be ■uperior to all else, society will have no guarantees of cleanliness. That art and jyuujiic force into decent social circles scores of graceless rogues, men and women of more than doubtful character, is one of the facts that occasions honest artists aud reputable musicians any amount ot mortification. THE NEGRO RACE DECLINING. General Francis A. Walker, who as a sta tistician stands among tho first, contrib utes to tho July number of the Forum an fauvortant paper upon "The Destiny of the Negro." His purpose is, for on© thing, to demonstrate that some very erroneous conclusions have been reached as to the increase of the numbers of the negro in the United States. Hasty gen eralization upon the subject have added materially to the difficulties of the "race problem," go called. President Walker shows that there is wanting the essential elements of truth in the conclusions reached by alarmists concerning the alleged danger of the negro race over running the continent. His statistical data runs back to 1808, when tho slave trade was abolished. In 1810 the negroes in America numbered 700,000, or 19 per cent of tho whole population. According to tho census of 1890, the negro numbers enough only to give him 11.9 per cent, ot the entire population. General Walker shows, by comparing periods of ten and iv. cnty years, that the increase by per cent, has declined steadily, indicating that this declination will not be checked. He takes the death and birth rate among negroes in twenty-three coun ties of Southern States, the counties chosen being of very nearly the same population, black and white. He finds that per 1,000 births of those born and dy ing, the rat© for whites was 100.1, against 140.8 blacks. He adds that tho proportion of death rates between blacks and whites in the largo cities is greater against the blacks. In New Orleans the death rate for whites was 25.57, blacks 36. In St. Louis, whites 18.19, blacks 33.78. These results show that the negro race is main taining its slight rate of increase only by means of a very high birth rate over a very high death rate. He finds, also, since the negro is free to move where he pleases, that where the negro is not an economic necessity, the black population is steadily reduced, while there is introduced a vigorous white population. In other words, the negro gravitates toward the sections where the white man cannot take his place. In those districts whatever there is of growth must be looked for. So he finds, to sum it up, that tho negro in 1890 was one-fifth the population; in 1840 he was but one-sixth, in 1860 but one seventh, in 1890 less than one-eighth. These being the facts, the importance of the negro, politically, is greatly less than has been supposed; that is, in the relation of his number to the white population. MISREPORTING IN INTERVIEWING. Hamilton Aide, who wrote such pleas ant things in the Nineteenth Century con cerning California, her homes and her people, took occasion to say that Rud yard Kipling's sweeping condemnation of American rejfcrters is not justified, and that while many of them are "un scrupulous liars," they are a better lot than the sensational novelist named makes them out to be. This leads the San Francisco Examiner to say that for one reporter who is an "unscrupulous liar," there are ten public men and dis tinguished visitors who give interviews and then repudiate them at the expense of the reporter when they find they are getting into trouble. There is just a grain of truth in that statement, but scarcely more. There are cases in which the reporter's text is de nied, and no one at all conversant with the newspaper business will deny that there are occasions when this repudia tion is justified. In some cases this is true because of willful misreporting, in rare cases because of downright falsity, but in the majority because of the etfort of the reporter to "stretch out" into a lengthened "interview" a few hastily scrawled notes or the recollection of a three-minute conversation. There is more apparent misreporting in inter viewing from failure of the inter viewed to make himself clearly under stood, and from failure of the reporter to comprehend the exact meaning of tho party, than from willful misrepresenta- tion or flat denial. At the same time in the unscrupulous press there is more downright manufacturing of "inter views" than there is of flat denials of the truth by "public men and distinguished visitors." The safe interview for both sides is that which is put into writing and read over to the interviewed. But in the push and rush of the rivalry between sensational sheets this is rarely possible. Take it all in all the interview has come to such a pass that the mass of readers receive it with discredit, or with doubts and reserva tions, and this fact reflects more upon the press than upon the interviewed. It is best to look upon this matter in its true light and face the music manfully; the interview is not received out of hand by the reading public of the day, and its declination to that plane of doubt is to be attributed to the gross misuse that has been made of it by some unscrupulous newspaper managers. There are Jour nals, however, still remaining, the publi cation of an interview in which is never repudiated, and the reports of interview* in which are received unhesitatingly by the general reader. That is to say there are newspapers, as their are business houses, whose "paper" is an absolute guarantee of good faith and whose repre sentations are accepted as verity without fear of denial. This being the fact, the impartial judgment cannot go amiss of the real cause for the decline of publio faith in the "interview." Two years ago a scientist writing for the Popular Science Monthly, predicted that the oil and natural-gas wells of the central States would presently give out; that they tap sources of supply that are not inexhaustible, and that the giving out of the wells would be followed by changes in the crust of the earth not con ducive to continued large production of the soil. At that time he was laughed at and considered no more than a timid pessimist. The dispatches of yesterday say that in Central Ohio the gas wells that have been supplying several large manu facturing towns, are declining in vigor at an alarming rate. Out of eighty-six wells owned by one company, twenty have been exhausted, and fifteen more will be abandoned within sixty days. The belief obtains that the declining pressure will continue to decrease and that very soon the supply will cease en tirely. This result will confirm the pre dictions referred to. Of course vast in dustrial interests will suffer and there is no he}p possible for them, unless some cheaper process of evolving electrical power can be devised than that known. It remains to be seen if the further pre diction that the soil will deteriorate be cause of the gas and oil tapping, will be verified. There is reason to believe that in this respect the prophet is in error, for in sections whero wells have been flowing for thirty years, there has been no change whatever for ill in the soil conditions. President Diaz of Mexico says, re garding commercial exchange between the two republics, "All we want is an equitable exchange of products which SACRAMUHTO DAILY RECOfIP-UINIOIsr, SATIFRDAY, JULY 11, 1891.—EIGHT PAGES. may benefit both countries. That is all the United States wants. It is a clear, concise definition of the underlying principle of reciprocity. Each country wishes to enlarge its export trade, be cause it thereby protects its own indus tries and promotes production. But the protection thus secured by enlargement of export trade, is accomplished by ad mitting to our ports products and manu factures we do not produce to the best advantage, but which we need, in ex change for the admission by the foreign country, from this, of products and man ufactures we do produce to the best ad vantage, and which the foreign country does not. That is precisely the equitable exchange to which President Diaz refers, for unless the exchange benefits both countries it is not equitable. The recent conference of olive-growers in this State will be fruitful of good. The spirit manifest was an honest and earnest one. The olive-growors of California are handicapped by the competition of foreign extracted oil that is grossly, but ingeniously adulterated. If California growers pursued the same policy they would be able to more nearly compete with the foreign product. They have chosen, however, the wiser policy of teaching consumers the baseness of adul terated oil, and the virtues of the pure, and propose to instruct the people also how to detect the doctored product. Thirty-two of the veteran soldiers and pensioners in the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Erie have left that institution because they were required to put 80 per cent, of their pension money into a fund for the support of the institution. This is not an unreasonable demand; whore a "Home" is maintained for pensioners it is but fair that they should contribute to its support. It was not intended that there should be pension and support in addi tion. If a veteran is given a home and cared for, fed and sheltered and clothed, he should not be a full pensioner besides.

Lawyer Lincoln White appeared be fore tho board and presented a petition from Mrs. Ella Russell and others, ask ing that the roads and streets in the Lansing tract, southeast of the city, be declared closed. A BIT OF HISTORY. Mr. White explained that many years ago James Lansing, expecting the growth of tho city toward Sutterville, bought up a piece of land, divided it into town lots, laid streets, and filed a map of the **llomestoad Tract" with the County Recorder. The venture proved a failure, however, and Lansing converted the property into farming land. The heirs of Lansing now seek to have the roads declared closed, in order to niuke tho record straight. To do this re quires the appointment of viewers and a lot of rod tape. The Supervisors had no objection to granting the request, and viewers were appointed to take tho preliminary steps, as follows: A. G. Winn, C. A. Jenkins, B. Smith. QUESTION OF JURISDICTION. John Rider appeared with a complaint against a fence, which he said obstructed the Sixteenth-street road. The complaint brought up the question of the jurisdiction of tho county in the matter. Formerly tho road was under tho city's control, but it is claimed that the Legislature some years ago changed the boundaries so as to place the road outside the city limits. The matter was referred to the County Surveyor for investigation. The petition of C. W. Clarke and others for a road near Grand Island was taken up again and placed on file. Viewers Wen appointed to take charge of the matter and report at the next session of the board. THE LIQUOR LICENSE. During the afternoon session the board agreed to examine the various petitions for liquor licenses presented in accord ance with the now ordinance. Supervisor Miller said he had been do ing a great deal of thinking about that ordinance, and had come to the conciu- sion that some portions of it— particularly the clause requiring a petition signed by J a majority ofthe resident taxpayers of an election precinct—worked hardship upon the liquor men. He therefore moved that the ordinance be amended so as to {>rovide that this requirement should only >o fulfilled by persons who were not en gaged in the saloon business prior to the passing of the ordinance. Mr. Black did not think the matter should be rushed through in that manner. He was willing to do what was right, but he did not want to be hurried. The j liquor men, he understood, were in se.s- i sion, and it was possible that they would not again appeal to the board, Messrs. Jenkins and Bates agreed with Mr. Black. There was no second to Mr. Miller's amendment, so the subject was dropped. The board then examined some of 1 the bonds filed by those presenting petitions. after which an adjournment was taken until to-day. NOT STRICKEN Ot'T. It was erroneously published yester day in the proceedings of the Board of! Supervisors, that the communication received from the Farmers' Alliance, in -ing tho board's new liquor license, a from tho minutes. When the minutes were read, Supervisor Jenkins wanted to be sure that the Lution as copied therein was correct, ai.'d asked that it be compared with the original. There was nothing stricken from the minutes. EVERYBODY'S COLUMN. Correspondence of Interest to tho General Public.

I do not believe that the Alliance knows what it is doing in advocating Mi.-ii political doctrine aa that. Do they for one moment stop to think Inwhsta predicament it places the tempera iple in thetw enty-seven precincts of the Fifth Supervisor District, win re there are more resideni Ihinese taxpayers than ail other taxpayers? Shall a petition signd 1.-. fifty-ox Chinese resident taxpayers, that are on tlie tax roll lor tliis year, give a person a right to keep the saloon against the Wishes of the majority of the voters that are taxpayers also? The resolution referred'to is the first that L have ever seen that would admit Chinese toyote on any proposition that us as American citizens of this glorious Union. Ibeljevethat any son that would uphold any ordinance or lav. that permits any person not a citizen to vote, or that his signature should have as much weight as a native citizen, is d> void of patriotism, if not worse to his country. Leave all questions to the ma jority of the legal voters.

Patriot. A\ aimit irove, July U, IS SPRINGERS MISTAKE. It Costa Him Tw( ntv-Threo Dollars to a Two-Dollar Claim. It hardly pays any person to fly di ll in Che face of the law and dely oiheials who are backed In the discharge of their duties by the strong arm of the law. Frank Sprim/or 3iad this fact forcibly impressed upon his mind, a* well as his pockety yesterday when the lawyers got through with him in Justice Henry's Court. Springer owed the county just $1 for his sandal poll-tax, and he knew it. A few days ago Deputy Assessor Abe Koithly ly hinted to the gentleman that lie [Keithly}was In the business of collecting in these little Individual liabilities, but Springer was mot in a paying mood, and refused not only to pungle but to give his name to the collector. Koithly had bat one duty to perform, and that was to arrest the reoalc.itrani granger. The case was tried yestecday before Justice Henry, and of course jer wns convicted. The court fixed his tine at S2O, and also reminded the gentleman that he had not yet paid his poll-tax. It was £•_! when Springer had that unfortunate interview ■with "the Deputy Assessor, but it had grown to three big dollars oil yesterday. There has boon a sulphurous haze about that courtroom door ever since Springer made a s; c "h to himself on the bideualk. It costs something to be a resident of this glorious republic, but it costs a "heap" more tc defy its laws and regulations. TROUBLE IN CAMP. German Turners Who Favor n School 011 tho American Plan. There appears to be trouble brewing in the ranks of the San Francisco Turners. Kast evening's Po-st says ihat for a long time back there li3s been considerable dissatisfaction among many of the lead ing members Of the San Francisco, Ein tracht and Vorwacrts Turning Vereins. Many of the old-time champions of the institutions claim that the vereins are on the down grade, and that no athletes are being turned out that are capable of com peting with the members of such clubs as the Olympic, Alpine or San Francisco. The recent tournament hold at Sacra mento is pointed to with contempt, as the records made for such old-tiim; sporting pastimes as jumping and putting weights arc far below the marks made by mem bers ofthe vereins a few years a^o. The failure is attributed to the. clannish determination oil the part of many mem bers to do everything in the German style. Nothing American in idea is tol eratod, and the trained athletes of the vereins are in consequence unable to compete with the men of the local clubs. In order to remedy the evil a quiet movement ison Coot among the progres sive members of the vereins to bolt from the old organization and form ;i new turning school to l>e. known as the Pacific Coast Turning Veiv'.n. American teach ers will be employed where possible, and the organization will be conducted ac cording to American athletic ideas. The movement is taking definite*shape,and a meeting has been called for next week. Albert Lean, the ffemous wrestler, is taking a great interest in the work. HE STILL LIVES. Officer Arlington's Condition Grows No Worse. If Anything* ITe Hns Gained Some StretUJgtll— His Puise Sti'onjj;, but He Cannot .Speak. A slight improvement was noticeable yesterday in the condition of Officer William Arlington, the police officer who was shot by Annie Manning, and Dr. Nichols expressed himself as surprised at the patient's remarkable vitality. His pulse was stronger and more regular than at any time since the shooting, and uo sign of fever was perceptible. Ho was strong enough to rais liiniselt in bed yesterday morning, and, although able to open his mouth, could not utter a word. He apparently recognizes acquaintances. The doctor talked to him yesterday morning, and by repeating his questions the meaning gradually dawned upon tho patient's mind. The only nourishment he is able to take is milk. Dr. Nichols states that, while he con siders the apparent improvement in the officer's condition little less than a mira cle, he would not be surprised to hear of a sudden change for the worse at any moment, and the patient's rapid dissolu tion. Ho says it is not at all unlikely that inflammation of the brain will set in. There seems to be little or nothing on which to found the theory that the woman had a confederate, and that Arlington was first assaulted by the latter. A Record-Union reporter was in the room within a few minutes after the terrible tragedy occurred, and there was no place therein where a man could have secreted himself. The room was very light, also, and a person could not have concealed himself from' Arlington. The bureau was about three feet from tho bo-d, and Arlington lajr with his head near the corner of tho former, as if he had pitched forward from the bed and fallen there. The probability is that he was sit ting on tho bed with his head bent for ward, meditatively, and his eyes fixed ou the lloor, listening to the woman's tirade of abuse, when the first shot was fired. This was doubtless the one that took effect in the upper portion of the head. Then he probably started up, but fell and struck his head against the bureau as he fell forward. As he lay upon the fioor the murderess fired the shots that entered the back ofthe hoad. This theory is strengthened by this fact that one ballot first struck the base ofthe bureau and lodged in Arlington's cloth ing, where it was found. The contusion on the bead was most likely made by his falling heavily either against the edge of the bureau or the corner of the marble slab. There arc rumors about of some one having been seen to run away from tho place, and aiso that one of the women of the hou&e disappeared as soon as the shots were tired. If these things occurred they will'doubtless be brought out at the in quest to bo held on the woman's remains, but the more rational theory seems to ho that there was no person present except the Manning woman and her victim. The body of Annie Manning is at the Morgue, whore it had been placed in a handsome casket. Her mother returned to Stockton yesterday. Night Officer Clark at the police station says be is convinced that tho wounded man knows what is passing in his room. When he went in to see him yesterday the patient reached out his left hand and drew him toward the couch, and ap peared to be pleased when his fellow officer sat down by him. Ho looked as if in; wanted to speak, and opened his mouth, but could not articulate. Should tho patient gain in strength, an effort will be made to obtain souse ox pression from bin, by propounding written questions, concerning the facts of the shooting. TO-MORROWS CONCERT. The Hussar Band Has Something CJood to OH'or tho People Pedro Cortes, leader of the Hussar Band, has prepared a very attractive pro gramnM for the open-air concert at the Plaza to-morrow evening. The several numbers have been selected with care, and some of them possess special features of unusual interest.

There are several more aspiring candi dates here for tho same place. The Drummer Boy of Lodi. The pair of horses and buggy hired at Lodi recently by a drummer, who failed to return them, were yesterday found in D. t nitmtyr was a piano solo by Misa Rode Borcbers. U. M. Laßue, President of the Sacramento Pioneers, then addressed the assemblage, tolling* them of some of the trials and hardships he and his comrades had 140:1 c thorough m 1 the early days. He said it made the oh' pioneers happy when tliey looked upon the rosy noos and sturdy forms of the native sons and daughters, and they felt confident that they were being suc ceeded by a worthy generation. At lise conclusion of Mr. Laßue's speech J. A. Moynihan sa 11 r? :i ballad, and was compelled to respond lo an en core, tie was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Moynihan. The next feature was the event of the evening. It was a recitation entitled "Ronald Clare" by Miss Carrie Simp son. The young lady is a splendid elo cutionist and her rendition was ap plaoded to the echo. By general request, Rich. dam ages. To-Day's Races, A fine afternoon's i-port la promised at Agricultural Park to-day, where there will four running races, commencing at 2 (.'clock-. There will also be a num ber of horses sold at auction. DANGEROUSLY PATRIOTIC. An Adopted Citizen of Yolo County Defends the Fiag. But in Dome; So Ho Comes Very Near Talcing Human life— William Wnckforti's Close Call. Whether through excessive patriotism, or because of a very ungovernable tem per, a Yoloite, who is an Austrian by birth, but presumably a red-hot Ameri can by adoption, came very near com mitting an act that would have been apt to place his neck in the halter. He had evidently taken his cue from tho celebrated order of General Dix, who once said "If any man hauls down the American ilag, shoot him on the spot!" This Yolo patriot is either a poor marksman, or else lie did not select any particular spot on his intended victim at which to shoot, for he merely nipped him in the hand. It appears that tho shooter occupied a cabin on tho Bryte ranch, near Washing ton, and on tho Fourth of July decorated it with a small American fiag. William Wackford, who is employed at the Bryte dairy, was in the vicinity of this cabin yesterday with his little boy, and the child, seeing the tlag, asked his father if he could have it. According to Wackford'fl story he asked the foreman of the place if tho boy could have tho flag, and the foreman said he did not know r whoso it was and had no objections to his taking it. Wackford says he took the Hag, but before he had gone any distance with it a man came from a building near by, armed with a pistol, and ordered him to drop the star spangled banner, which he did, but warned the man with the pistol that if he threatened him with the weapon lie (Wackford) would have him arrested. At that the man commenced shooting at Wackford, and hit him twice on one hand, two other bullets going past him as ho ran. Some men on the ranch, who heard the shooting, hastened to the spot and ar rested the shooter and took .him to Wash ington, while Wackford camo to this city and had his wounds dressed. The other side of the story, while it dif fers somewhat from the above, does not justify tho shooting. The arrested party states that when Wackford attempted to tako the ilag he told him fo let it alone, that it was his property; that Wackford replied in insulting terms, telling him to "Go to hell," etc. Ho claimed that he was simply defending his property, and seemed to think that ho had a right to do as he did. The intrinsic value of the blood spangled banner was perhaps twenty five cents, and to defend this paltry sum its owner would have taken the 1 fie of a human being—had he known how to shoot straight. A reporter made an effort last night to learn the name of tho arrested party, but without success, although he was known personally to several citizens of Wash ington. Real Estate Transfers.

4 MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. Theatricals are Decidedly Dull in New York. Tho Coining Appearance of the Lilli putians at the Metropolitan—"The Pupil In Magic" Said to be Very Attractively Staged—Flashes from the Footlights. A. P. Dunlop, writing from Now York, under date of July 4th, says: "The present is the interregnum of the theatrical seasons, a kind of tropical dol drum, during -which the russet sails flop against the mast in a sweltering sun, while the mariner seeks any shadow available for a rest, and the good ship rocks lazily on emerald-tintea billows. There is scarcely a break of news from any quarter, and none will come until the creaking and banging that belongs to our national celebration of independence has fizzed and gone. Dear old Broadway is empty of professionals, the theatrical exchanges are no longer crowded, and even the pool rooms, where actors con gregate, are deserted. The only 'hustlers' about town are the litho. and printing agents, and from what they say every town, village and hamlet throughout the country will next season be pasted with more artistic and twice as gorgeous wall paper as has ever before been slapped on wall or fence. Mansfield promises to keep the Garden Theater open during the entire summer, and has withdrawn 'Don Juan,' which could not be boosted into a success, for the plays he produced last season, and the bill will be changed two or three times a week. During the last week it is doubtful if 'Don Ju:in' drew more than fifty dollars each night. 'Wang,' 'Apollo,' and 'The Tar and the Tartar,' are doing good services for their respective theater, and their managers havo joyfully commemorated their fiftieth performances this week by souvenirs. \Apollo' has never been a success, and would have been bounced from any other house but the Casino, with its roof gar den and steady patronage. Do Wolf Hopper is not the buffoon in 'Wang' that he usually makes of himself, and Delia Fox is really the star that draws, but nothing near the 'phenomenal' business tho management unblushingly adver tises. Their souvenir was a miniature banjo with a tiny thermometer running up the handle. 'The Tar and the Tartar' is the only comic opera, and, on the whole, the best of the three summer snaps, all doing well enough to keep their doors open." "THE LILLIPUTIANS." The wonderful midget actors, who will commence their Sacramento engagement at the Metropolitan Theater on July 10th, compose one of the most successful com panies at present on the road. When they arrived in New York last September, entirely unheralded and unknown to tho press and public of this country, it took thorn but a short time to become favorites with theater-goers of the great Eastern metropolis. For more than fourteen weeks they crowded the largest theaters of New York, and many a night people had to be turned away from the box office, because there was no theater, even tho Metropolitan Opera-house, the largest in the country, which was able to hold the masses eager to witness the novel and pleasing entertainment given by the clover Lilliputians. Their tour through this country was a continual triumph, and in Boston, Phila delphia, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities, the Lilliputians have broken all previous records. Tho company num bers more than 200 artists, the principals being ten little wee actors, who also, although small in stature, are highly ac complished actors and singers, gifted with unusual talent. Miss Selma Goeruer, the leading sou brette, who measures only 31 inches, is claimed to be the best interpreter of comic opera to bo found at present on any stage in America or Europe. She possesses a brilliant, sympathetic voice, and her miniwr is so full of geniality that she is sure to please every audience. Franz Ebert, the smallest tot of the company, measuring only twenty-eight inches in his Btocking feet, is the princi pal comedian of the Lilliputian Company. The press has compared him to the only OoqueUn, and to American actors of the standard of Jefferson, Nat Goodwin and other comedians foremost in the ranks of their profession. His American col leagues, principally Messrs. Jefferson and Florence, have also pronounced him to be i among the most talented comedians ever seen in this country. A mere wink ot his bright little eye, or a shake of hia well-formed head, or a funny gesture with his little hand, will produce such merriment as is seldom witnessed in a playhouse. His means of producing laughter and enjoyment are boundless, As long as little Fritz Ebert, small as he is, occupies the stage, that stage never looks empty. Not less talented than these stars in their respective spheres are the other Lilliputians. Miss Minchen Becker, the leading lady; Miss Tony Meister, the dia lect actress; Miss Jagur, the clever in genuee, and Miss Ida Mahr complete the female cast of the Lilliputians. Mr.Ebert's colleagues are: Johann Wolfe, the heavy clumenthal. Thomas A. Sweeny has become mana ger of "O'Dowd's Neighbors," whoae next tour hflflilU early in August. Fred ZweUal will manage Frank Me- Ker's "A Hole in the Ground" next sea son, with George Clapham in advanca. Mr. and Mrs. Kcndal will play for one week in Manchester und another in Liverpool before returning to this coun- try in September. These will be their only performances in England until next year. Robert Mantell has purchased Colonel Alfriend's play "The Louisianian," and will add it to his repertoire next season. Edwin Booth is at his country home, Rosalind Cottage, Narragansett Pier, R. 1., where he says he will remain all sum mer. Joseph Haworth is at present in Bos ton, where he is a great favorite and where he is called "the coming great tragedian." Nellie McHenry will begin her next season at John Stetson's Globe Theater, Boston, August 24th, with "A Night at the Circus." Gus Thomas and Sidney Rosenfeld will receive $5,000 for the comedy they are writing for Nat Goodwin, as well as a large royalty. The /Stage (London) says that the net earnings of the Kendals in America last season was £30,000—5150,000 out of the country forover. Agnes Huntington will most probably be seen next season in a new opera by Reginald De Koveu and Harry B. Smith. It is called "Tho Fencing Master." "Formosa" has proved a direful fail ure in London at Drury Lane, and will be succeeded by "Drink," with Charles Warner in his original character of Cou peau. Ed. Harrigan has a new play ready for next season. He has not as yet named it, but Manager Mart Hanley says "It is a local play with 'Mulligan Guards' trim mings." Marion Manola is keeping the newspa per men guessing as to what she will do next season. It would be a novelty if she went to work and curbed her erratic tendencies. Friends are trying to heal the split be tween Mark Murphy and Thomas Mur ray, and revive the old trade-mark of Murray and Murphy in "O'Dowd's Neighbors." Elizabeth Kobbius and Mrs. Patrick Campbell have been engaged to play the two principal female characters in the new melodrama written for the London Adelphi by tiims and Buchanan. When Henry Irving comes to this country he will visit Edwin Booth in Boston, Joseph Jeiferson at Buzzard's Bay, and Stuart Kobson at Cohasset. He will be accompanied by Dr. Augustin Daly. The "Marriage Blanc" of M. Jules Le nmitre has been produced in London, but met with scant favor in spito of the ex cellent acting of M. Febvre and Mile. Keichenberg. This ia is an essentially French dish. J. T. Maguire, for many years the right bower of Wesley llosenquest at the Bijou and Fourteenth-street Theaters, crosses the continent for a visit to California with tho Itussell Comedians, leaving New York July 10th. Charles Frohinan is very much unde cided as to what he will do with "Miss lielyett." It may be well to inform the Napoleonic Charles that Sadie Martinqtis the only woman who could play the title in that suggestive piece. Colonel Milliken has completed his operatic circuit of twenty-four of the best cities and towns within a radius of 150 miles of New York, and will play over it every four weeks during the season, each time with a different company. Robert E. Graham is wasting nis time in endeavoring to star in such a chestnut as "The Little Tycoon." That alleged comic opera has been before the public for the past six years, and has visited every city in the United States. Tom Robertson will superintend the rehearsals for the revival of his father's comedy "SchooL" at the London Gar rick. Mr. Hare has surrendered his part of Beau Farintosh to Mr. Macintosh. His son, Gilbert Dare, will play Krux. The new actors' association in England, Of which Henry Irving is President, has now 500 members. Tne objects of it are healthful dressing-rooms, arbitration for disputes and the suppression of fraudu lent and speculative managements. A new farcial comedy called "Shylock «fc C 0.," adapted from the French by George Canninge and Albert Chevalier, was tried at the London Criterion the other afternoon with only moderate suc cess, in spite ofthe efforts of Mr. Blakeley and others. Pauline Hall will add "La Belle He lene" and "Nanon" to her repertoire next season. In the latter opera she will play the titlo part, which, by the way, she is now playing in Philadelphia. To see the stately Hall attempt to frisk in a soubrette role will be immensely funny. William C. and Willard Newell, the twin brothers that loolc so much alike, are having a play written for them, in which they will star jointly. They otter a big price to any dramatist able to lit them with a play in which their remark able similarity can be used to advan tage. "Dick Wilder," a romantic melodrama by Mrs. Musgrave, author of "Our Flat," was played recently in London, but was not particularly successful. It tells an improbable tale of the tribulations of tho virtuous hero caused by his resemblance to his twin-brother, a wicked highway man. Young Joe Emmet's proposition to star in his father's plays has been well received by managers, who are perfectly willing to give the young man a fair trial at a trille less percentage than the father was to have received. Young Joe can both sing and dance better than did his lather, and as he doesn't care a rap of his finger whether he succeeds or not, It is vory likely that dame Fortune will smile on him with the biggest kind of a grin. Young Joe inherited the bulk of his father's fortune, and lives on Easy street. "You are a quadroon, I believe, Mr. Dumas?" began an enterprising inter viewer. "I am, .sir," replied Mr. Du mas. "And your lather?" "My father was a mulatto." "And your grand father, what was he?" "A negro," prowled the father of French historical liction, beginning to wax restless under this straightforward catechism. "And might I presume to inquire what your great grandfather was?" "An ape, sir," thundered the author of "Monte Ohristo," springing to his feet; "my pedigree be gins when yours ends." Only one thing seoms to be certain about the popular taste in amusements, und that is, as John Oakhurst said about luck, 'that it's bound to change." Within the memory of even young men the lec ture was the thing. Alter a time, a lecturer to draw at all had to present a picture show to illustrate his talk. On tho stage tho actors go rapidly from "so ciety" to tragedy, from comic opera to spectacle. Just now there is v gratifying revival of the popular interest in con certs, aud in those of tho best quality, moreover. Tho Redpath Bureau alone has no less that sixteen troupes, compa nies, quartets and tho like booked all over the country for numberless con corts in the coming season.

I>INTERISST ONLY FOR FIVE) YEARS AT 7 PER CENT.^d Capay Valley is situated in Yolo County, about 90 miles by rail from San Francisco, and is traversed in its entire length by the Woodland, Capay and Clear Lake Railroad, the distance from Esparto to Rumsey being 21 miles. The Capay Valley Land Company is offering the most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which enable the purchaser to pay for the land out of its own product, viz.: Interest only for five years at 7 per cent. The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro portion of the land purchased shall be planted to fruit trees or vines. Land may be bought without this con dition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and remaining 80 per cent, at the end of five years, with interest annu ally in advance at 7 per cent. The various tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company have been subdi vided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are for sale at prices varying from $50 to $150 per acre. Similar un improved land in Vaca Valley has recently been sold at $400 and $500 per acre. These Capay Valley lands are under the most favor able climatic conditions for the prosecution of profitable fruit growing, and the locality has proved itself to be one of the earliest in the State. The grape crop of 1890 from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked, dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before the Fresno County grapes were ripe. The railroad passes through all of the tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company, thus insuring excel lent shipping facilities; and land may now be purchased in the immediate proximity of either of the following stations: Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey, Guinda, Sauterne, Cashmere or Rumsey. At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest and earliest varieties of peaches and apricots may already be seen, and during the coming season considerable ad ditional acreage will be planted out. One of the recent saks made by the company was that of the Tancred Tract, containing 600 acres, to a colony association. This tract has been subdivided into forty holdings, all of which will be planted to fruit trees this season. The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 400 acres have been sold, are especially worthy of mention, and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks are owned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex pect tJ make their earliest shipments from here. i FOR MAPS AND ALL INFORMATION REGARDING THE CAPAY VALLEY LANDS, APPLY TO OR ADDRESS WM, H. MILJUS, I Fourth and Townsend Streets. SAN FRANCISCO. A RARE OPPORTUNITY Good Agricultural Land for $1O to $2O per Acre. The Pacific Improvement Company has re«, I eently purchased twelve thousand ceres of i land in the heart of Tehama County, for the purpose of promoting subdivision and settle i menu This land embraces lands from firsts i class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to land of fair average quality, and is offered at from $10 to §20 per acre, in subdivisions of j 40, 80,120,160 and 320 acres. The terms upon which these lands are, offered are especially attractive. They will be sold In subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay ment of interest only for three years, at which time the purchaser can begin the payment of principal by paying the first of five equal an nual installments. Thus no part of the prin cipal ia to bo paid for three years, and then the purchaser is to have five years in which to pay five equal annual installments, with In terest at the rate or 7 per cent, per annum, making payments extending over a period of eiuht years. Intending purchasers are as sured that this is an opportunity to purchase land of feir average quality at §10 per aero, and good agricultural land at $20 an acre, with other grades of land at prices to corre spond between these figures. The assertion Is frequently made that good lands, suitable for general farming, and es pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be had in California fcr le?s than from §60 to $100 an acre. An examination of the land subject of this advertisement will prove to home-seekers that this is an opportunity for the purchase of good agricultural land at $20 an aore, and for qualities grading down to fair agricultural land at $10 an acre, on terms of payment which should make the disposition of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of accomplishment, The primary object of the purchase of this body of land was the breaking up of a large Lolding to* the purpose of promoting its set tlement in smaller quantities and Its devotioD V 1 diligent husbandry.

I J[ tainedin the WEEKLY W«IOS Too much stress cannot be laid upon the great ad vantage to the fruit-grower of being in an early locality. In most cases it makes the difference between success and failure. The industrious orchardist of Capay Valley may rest assured that he will derive all the benefits gained by the first fruit shipments of the season, and that ?.o acres of this rich land, when the trees arc in bearing, will yield a handsome and assured income. The Capay Valley Land Company has an agent re siding in the valley, whose duty it is to show the various tracts to land seekers. Four townsites have been laid out in different points in the valley, viz.: Esparto, Cadenasso, Guinda and Rumsey. Town lots may now be purchased at reason able prices aud on easy terms. The enterprising and •.flourishing town of Esparto is situated at the lower end of the valley, and $125,000 worth of substantial buildings have already been erected, including a tine four-story brick hotel, two large brick blocks and waterworks, with pipes laid in the streets, besides extensive warehouses and numerous residences. The town has a postoffice, school-house and a weekly paper, and the tine railroad depot contains telegraph and express offices. PostofHces have also been established at Guinda and Rumsey. This latter place, situated at the head of Che valley, is the present terminus of the railroad. The; comfortable litde hotel makes excellent quarters for hunters as well as land-seekers. The advantages enjoyed by the settler in Capay Val ley may be thus concisely summed up: A soil of great fertility, yielding bountifully of eveiy crop. A soil and climate which will ripen all kinds of fruit d vegetables earlier than anywhere else in the State.

IRRIGATION PEOPLE EXPLAIN The Empioyment of Engineer Wm. Ham. Hall. It Is Claimed That He Represents the Bankers and Not the Irrigation Dis tricts—Reasons for His Employ ment. The following communications are self explanatory: Eds. Recoiid-Union Like a thunder- Hap from a clear sky came tho editorial in the Record-Uxion of June 23d. In common with the supporters of the dis trict system in tho State, I have ranked the Kecoiui-Unios among our stanchest irionds, and I do so regard it now, and I think you wrote that editorial without a j thorough understanding of the situation, and I think I can get you right. Will you hoar me? In the iirst place you proceeded on the presumption that Mr. Hall is to be con sulting engineer .for all tho districts, when in fact there is no such under standing. You say that he is employed by the district, and, of course, as its em- i ploye he will make a good report, and j that it will, therefore, havo no more Weight than a report of any other em ploye. While he will be paid by- the district, it is the understanding that he is not the employe of the district any more than the land-grader, or land agent, sent out by a bank to examine the property of one applying for a loan is the employe of the borrower. The twelve gentlemen I who signed the indorsement, and who I agreed to answer all inquiries with a copy Of Mr. Hall's report indorsed, look to him for protection, and he is in honor J bound to protect them, and no one else. lie j will be under no obligation whatever to the district that pays him any more than the land agont of a bank is under obliga tion to the borrower of money who pays him his fee. This all seems clear to mo, but I havo been through every step of the negotiation, and am responsible for it, right or wrong, but as things sometimes seem clear to actors in a scene that aro not so to the casual observer, I ask you to indulge me in making a more extended statement. Notwithstanding the fact that every body admits the, value, of irrigation to the State, and the necessity lor some general i by which the waters of the State may be made to do the greatest amount of good to tho greatest number, almost e\ cry inch of water so used lias involved a contest. No question of civil polity has mounded by so many difficulties. The bank owners claimed that under the common law of England, adopted by this they had a right to see the water on past them to tho ocean, undimin ish the courts had settled so much, hov> e\ i-r, the engine er was considered the most important. The best known engi rt that subject was Wm. Ham Hall. it t! ai of talk, and going back and forth, and bothering Uemen the correspondence as pared. When it is ntha before icun ent these t kd not even talk about it, .;s to DM that much progress was As tint Mr. Hal] ;i demanded by the amount of charge, and bo was noi consulted until this came j Maximum charges i'or nil services were agreed not aa con mt ir the report. Ami it was distinctly under r no obligations hut lhat bis duty was to A district may bo spending much more mlnnntlon. En-'. l?K'-oic;j-U.\it):v: In your is itieize my action in securing from the leading linan ofSan Francisco an Ind I I an engineer to n port ti district ,:s for the irnor raation of J its and inv almost impossible to induce them, or any number of them, to select experts to make the needed examinations. No single investment agent, or coterie of agents, could be gotten to assume such responsibility in the matter, and any such action on the part of a New York agent, or several of them, would have probably been open to criticism or sus picion, for investors and investment agents do not usually trust the opinions or actions of other investment agents where a motive is not apparent, unless they have special business arrangements and correspondence with them. Attempts heretofore made to place dis trict bonds abroad have always been met by the assertion that the San Francisco correspondents of the Eastern and Euro pean banks and investment agencies would not give these securities counte nance. They either advised against them or professed ignorance, and intimated suspicion of them. The foreign and eastern investor would not buy the bonds unless his local bank or agent advised him to, and these, in their turn, depended on advises from the San Francisco banks. An investigation by any one coterie of investment agents or financial men, no matter how prominent, in New York, London or elsewhere, would have com manded confidence only through the special channels of their own correspond ents. It seemed next to impossible to bring about such an inquiry in time to relieve the financial stress that, almost without exception, exists in every irrigation dis trict in the State. To accomplish this result a direct ap peal was made by the district promoters to the San Francisco bankers to take some action in the matter, they being the persons whose opinions are sought from the moneyed world as to the value and character of California securities. They declined to formally take the ini tiative in any manner. Representatives of most of the leading irrigation districts spent months in San Francisco and failed to make any practical progress further than to obtain from a dozen ot the lead ing bankers suggestions as follows: "Each irrigation district must stand separately onits own merits and record. Each and all should be examined and re ported upon by experts intimately well known and trusted in San Francisco and of wide and good repute in their profes sions. It is not our province, individually or collectively, to initiate or supervise any such examination. Let the irriga tion districts select and engage experts whom we generally know and trust, and who have widely established imputations at stake, and we will act as references for those experts and will use their reports in our business correspondence on this subject." The next practical stop was then to find who would be most acceptable to the j San Francisco bankers generally. William Ham. Hall was originally sug gested to v number of district represent atives by three of the very leading bank managers in consultation as the most de sirable man to secure for engineer. Canvassing further, it was found that Mr. Hall and Hermann Schusaler were the only engineers whoso names were suggested by tho bankers for this service. It was found that Mr. Hall would re ceive a very general indorsement from the financial leaders. Mr. Schussler was absent from the State and therefore not available. It will, therefore, be seen that lam endeavoring to carry out in practical form the course marked out by a dozen of the leading bankers of San Francisco. These are the men. whose countenance and action the irrigation districts sought, and these are a majority of the prominent financial agents who mold the Eastern and European investing sentiment which we are seeking to reach. It .seems to me that the course adopted is the only practical one at all available within a reasonable period of time. And, moreover, it is in effect similar to that which you have advocated. It is the course recommended by a large number of financiers of this city of the highest standing and influence, en tirely disinterested as regards any sue- cial schemes, yet interested in the good of the State and prom).ted by high business motives; and the man selected as engi- Deer is the one suggested by them and! without consultation with the irrigation districts or their officers or promoters. know from the conferences that were had with the bankers that the selection of the engineer was not of his own seeking; nor was it the result of personal or friendly or business connections. I was not acquainted with Mr. Hall until after bis name had been decided upon, and 1 never met him personally until I came to San Francisco to conclude the matter. His services must be paid for and there is no one to pay him but the district on which he reports in each individual case. He will be employed as special expert because he was recommended by the in vestment agents to whom it is desired to furnish information upon which they will rely. Although for business reasons tho bankers have not formally taken the ini tiative in this matter, they have taken a step which informs the world that Mr. Hall possesses their highest respect and confidence as an expert. The district will pay the fees just as an individual is required to pay savings bunk experts and attorneys when he seeks a loan from it. The indorsement by representative bankers might have been made more ex tensive. But after such strong support from a number of the leaders had been offered it was thought undignified and useless to seek any more. The engineer 1 can refer with confidence to every banking institution in San Francisco. The last movement was confined to se curing the countenance, in some way, of bunking managers alone. Tho commer cial and business community g"enen^ly, through the State Board of Trade, the chamber of Commerce and the Produce Exchange, had already nobly supported the irrigation district movement and had done everything to countenance the bonds as good securities. The bankers had done nothing. To have them remain Indifferent would have been fatal, as already explained, and wo were glad to adopt tho course suggested by them. In closing, allow me to express the gratitude which I in common with others have felt toward tho Rkco&d-Union and Its able manager for the support hereto fore received in print and in person from them. And I express the earnest hopo that after this explanation we may count upon your renewed and continued help. Trusting that tho above will be accept able to you, I remain, very respectfully yurs. J.

A stranger might suppose from these names that the old settlors Wesa very Puritanic or exceedingly pious, (.they were), but the gentleman who has the credit of perpetuating scriptural rec ollections by this means was not cele brated in that way, or if he was ho did not lind it out. I refer to one of the city's pioneers, I think of the second decade, Judge Belden, whose, residence was there. "Pursuing my way I did not seem to be alone. Old memories and old inci dents were resuscitated at every step, for 'twas my route to my claim on JL)eer Creek below, and my private picnic was shared by quite a procession of the dead and some few living. First came the residence of Belle {Sterling, the first young woman I saw on Deer Creek in 18iJl—a pleasant memory. Next, iho site Of the rirst vineyard in the locality, so fat as 1 know, the work of E. G. Waite, once editor of the Transcript. I well re member how we old Silurians of '4f\ who thought there was nothing worth seeking but gold (and tripped up on it), laughed at the enterpri.se. Still there aro some of us who have not recovered from the gold fever, and never will. It does not matter whether the ignis fatuu* shines to bewilder or dazzles to blind, or not. wo shall follow its gleam. To some that age is a myth, to some a tradition, but to some 'tis as fresh as when the song o{ the miner and the music of the torn or rocker woke the monotony of old primeval si lence in every gulch and ravine which I crossed that day. "I proceeded toward Peck's ravine, now silent and desolate, but in the olden time a thriving little community, and thence to tho old Dingley location, now the Providence, where there still is a souvenir ol Dingley—an orchard in the unfeneed wilderness, which the boys see shall not go to waste. Even in 16(32 the locality was lively, in tho estimation of some, but it was a played out country to the '49er, and many of them, like the writer, left for Silverland, in most in stances leaving better than they found, for there are few silver placers, only oh the debris of some rotten lodge, that car ried a modicum of gold. True, there wero ledges, small ones, where, without capital, a miner could run an arastra. •'Moving along to the next point is a grand vista open to the view of the '49er who has worked up from a rocker to a torn, thence to a sluice ot fourteen inches in width, at which stage it was thought the acme of progress had been reached; then came tho ground sluice, and so on ward until the sale of rnineraT land and the acquisition of a patent stopped all in dividual enterprise in the simple laboring miner, and made the fairest portion of our domain once more a wilderness. "Every phase of civilization, every phase of progress known to history, has been repeated and realized in this infant commonwealth of the Pacific. As I gazed on tha vista before me and could remem ber but one '4L»er still there, I felt that I was like a mariner on tho desert island, where himself and all the ship's crew had been cast away, and where they had t>ast lot as to who should be killed to allay the pangs of hunger, till only he re mained." The Union Democratic State Con vention met in this city on the 4th of July, ISGi, and was called to order by Joseph P. Hoge. James W. Coflroth was elected permanent President.

Musings and Observation In a ITalf Dozen or More Interesting Places- Historic and Descriptive "VVliat American Travelers Often Miss. [Special Correspondence of the iiecokd- Ukion. Copyright, lb/Jl.l Kki.so, Scotland, June 29, 1891. American travelers hastening between the English and Scottish capitals miss what 1 have often felt is the most inter esting portion of the two countries. That is tho i?order country with its ancient border towns, in and around which have been fought more ferocious contests Chan elsewhere in all England and Scotland. These old border towns have been but little modernized. The railway stations are about all the structures in them that Lave largo windows or smell of paint. They remain chieily as they stood when the border raids were ended. They are gray, battle-scarred, ancient. They were built in lighting times, and have their records in their hard old faces. To wan der among them is Uke being whisked Lack four or live centuries and set down lace to fate with the grimness and hard iiess of feudal times. Scotland is richest iv these weird old relics. The Scotch crowded elosu to the Border, built huge places of sally, and then, being liveliest on their logs, "harried" the English in such a brisk and occupying way that they i:ad little time on their hands, after chasing the raiders home, for building border towns. t »n the English side, in tho two great bonier shires of Cumberland and North umberland, there are but two border >f note, of ancient origin, Newcastle and Carlisle, unless the little early-day castle towns of Penrith and Keswick, the latter in the Kngli.sh lake district, may bi England's most curious rude stone monuments. It stands in the little churchyard, and is known as the Ciiant's Crave, 'J here are two huge stone pillars, one each at the head and foot. They taper from b circumference of tweive feet at the base to seven at the top. Folk-lore of the region affirms that they were erected ages gone by I petuatethe memory of a Legandary giant called Owen C es-trius. They are covlaee. it was too narrow in places to al ow their passage. Presently tin two pieces of machinery were wedged fast be tweenthe opposite houses. An extraor dinary commotion followed, as all the town-folk on either side a emedatonce furious to pass to the other, mod this sin uous street was the only means, without making a circuit of halt the place, EJvery thing from dynamite to a Queen's war rant and the giant shade of Owen I riu-, was suggested to relieve the city. When I left it mobs were struggling on either sideof the barrier, massed into a writhing cone againsi and upon the ma chinery, while a stentorian burgher :.nn> and shouted to the mul titude: "i" Hamencan inwen tions! They puts wiliin' hands in th' workus, an' howdashasly stoapsoopour Down Wi' i Pi", say iinit*ot Scotland's stupendous border castles, now the site of a famous annual border fair. A little farther to the westward are the "sylvan Jed" of Thomson and its lovely vale. and the old shir.' town of Roxburgh shire, w.aspißh,uncompromising bal beau tifnl Jedburgh. X tourists ever come to it, lmt here is ;i known antiquity of over years, and an abbey nearly 800 years old, wonderfully interesting in the mixed character of Its arches ana inter laced arcade, the schoolboy home of Thomson, and the place in whose an cient castle, celebrated in song and glory, the spectral mask appeared atthemar riage festivities of Alexander 111. In the hard old burgh, the scene of countless grim and gory clashings in border war fare, in ancient times scores of mal si.-s were hanged, and dozens of female gypsta* were drowned in Teviot'ssing hm waters. Indeed here originated the term "Scotch justice," r "Jethari iu'." Implying the practice f firsi hang ing and subsequently judging a culprit. And roundabout, every nilJ, stream and mountain glen is given weird fascination by remains of Human camps and fort wifch uncounted relics in tumuli and cromlechs of the Gaelic age beyond. And thus, all the way through iiiis bor derland of cloud-kissed hills and misty valleys to the Irish Sea, a book thrilling with legend, romance and x;■) and glori ous bistorj could be made upon fity, town or slumberous clachan and hamlet.

It is also unknown to.tourists. It seems to me in a few particular.- to possesß extra ordinary interest.

[Special correspondence of RECOHD-Uxio>r.] The glorious Fourth is over, and 1 am very glad it is gone; also very sorry foronetaing and another, which I need not mention here. Sorrow always pur sues me. No matter how deeply I plunge into tbo swirling vortex of society, Sor row is always behind me, and as soon as lam out of the swim he gets me. If Igo into the gilded halls of fashion and for a little season indulge in memory-destroy ing hilarity, I always find Sorrow waiting on the stops, bitching np his trousers and ready for business, when I come out., l celebrated the Fourth at Fillmore, In Ventura County. I had been earnestly requested b> the California Society ior the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to deliver an oration at the (Orphans' Home, San Francisco, but declined with thanks. 1 also received an invitation from the Hoard of Bealthof Los Angeles to deliver a speech in the pesthouse, but beg bico. citizens offered tcj pay pay Fare if 1 would go op and make a lew remarks, and the police and b'ire tommissioners of Stockton tried very hard to induce me to p. turn to that me to bo forced to refuse the many re quests which I annually receive from Fourth of i iily Committees all over the State. Rattail Gulch haa been trying to induce me return ;o that bustling camp in the Sierras again, but as 1 left it in a somewhat unseemly way iinmed after deliverfrtif ray firsi oration, and w is compelled to sil in the top of a mv until the enthusiasm of the people, who were scurrying around with muskets, clubs, rocks and soon, cooled down, 1 am what afraid to return whilolhe memory of my speech remains in tho mind of the oldest inhabitant. The celebration at Fillmore was a very -rand affair indeed. 1 wens early, riding seven miles to the grounds mf the tail end of a header wagon. The other and Li -s comfortable parts of the wagon were covered with children who wore crowns and sang "The Little iiusy Bee," "We Love Our Teacher,*' and other patriotic songs, by the way. their shrill trebles piercing the air of the calm And stilly morn, and Oiling my hear! with joyful peace until it bubbled over and rained blessings upon the man or woman who wrote "i'he Little Busy Bee" and "We Our Teacher." I hope the authors of those melodies are dow en joy in ripe fruits of an extremely salubrious climate of which i wot uot and never will. If there is anything which] do love it is to ride seven miles on tb of the tail-end of a header wagon while forty-three little maids from sch tolsing "The Busy Bee" and''We Love Oar Teaener." iration whs held in a really beautiful little grow of oaks a mile or bo from the budding city of Fillmore. ".'h, n I arrived on the ground the orators goddesses and the band had not yet ar rived, and i amused myself by strolling hither and thither in a nonchalant man ner, pricing the spoojallup and popcorn at the various refreshment stands, erst while and anon carelessly pipping the effervescent bilge water and chewing the front end of a five cent Havana in a meditative, mysterious way which led several people to remark that I was evi dently a famous French detective hunt ing for the dastardly microbe who **pi sened" his mistrdfes with a stew made of toads' legsjnst before Nap >le >n made ins famous disappearance from Fran At 9:30 the train from Ventura arrived, and disgorged near the grove.

He was very much alone in all that crowd. Nobody owned him; nobody knew him; nobody wanted him; nobody cared a tinki r*s aoqueduct for him. oh, it was pitiful, etc Hut the young man was not so fool ish as he looked, lie gat him a stick and -{.eared into the pit. and transfixed a huge chunk of dripping llesh, and was happy. Then he was miserable again, lie had more meat than he wanted, and no one but himself to eat it. With the meat dangling from the end of his stick he wandered from group to group, looking with imploring eves from fai-e to face for someone with whom he might share his spoil before it snoiled. luu the faces were hard and cold. Some of them we smeared with grease and gravy and sticks and tilings, but not one face wore a smile Ol welcome. He wandered around and around about the ground, and at last he found a hungry hound, and the last 1 saw of him he was cutting off big •■luniks with a jack knife and feeding the dog. now and then drawing the blade of the knife across his pants In an absent minded and preoccupied way that whs painful to behold. There is one thing which I have sworn that I will never do. 1 will never act again as I did yesterday. Tho next time I attend a Fourth of July I shall keep far and far away from the ice cream stand. Itisasnaro and a delusion; a cold, hearth ss, base, soul-destroying tiring. Here it is, at the ice cream stand, where one is led astray j by the soit, sweet smiles of girlhood, and then, when his pockets are pumped dry, he is given the shake, and goes away into the woods, with his stomach enjoying the giddy sensations of an over-ripe snow- ball and a black frost on his backbone, to shed tears of contrition and lose faith in all womankind. Alas! But it is true. nevertheless. Maidenhood, ice cream ana the adult stomachache go hand in hand forever. A few days ago an old friend of mine, who had suddenly become the happy father of a bouncing baby boy weighing two and a half pounds, and was in very gen rous state of mind, presented to me a "purp" of a bre»d so antique that all trace of his original ancestor has been lost. Hut there is no danger of this de scendant of the original ancestor ever getting lost, or even missed. Whenever he was wanted Ln the spirit ho was al ways present in tho flash, and when he was wanted in the flesh he was always present in the spirit. For a "purp," he was the most promis cuous, circumjacent and all-abiding, ever preseul dog i ever S a\v. Naturally bob tailed, with a pendulous under lip, and plaintive, appealing eyes set well back under brows that showed by their mass ive projectiveness a great fund of intel lectuality, with ears that hung like two leaves of withered cabbage and a tongue that was always hanging out on one side or the other, except when engaged in barking at the moon, Don Francisco Cienega de la Sespe Coyote was an at tractive brute. He now in the full bloom and heyday or youth in that mysterious land from which no dog ever returns; where they may chase cats up the dog wood tree'- forevor, eat dog-berries until they burst. Ke in fragrant Reids of dog fennel, and never go at hirst intbi days, but bay undisturbed in the face of g-star. or scatter away in pursuit of the sun-doj [n other words, Don Francisco Cienega tels dead. Soon after he was presented to me he made a wreck or' tii. only good pair of socks I had, and afl ir I had ahoi thirty or forty times at him, chased him through the hennery, overturning an incubator, torn down \i treilii covered uiti; morning gj vainly offered him arsenic, strycanino and rough on rats. hired a coarse mam, a Mexican mule-driver, t, o ran him down and kick him to death. I do not approve of "purps." Once, when i was ranching in the foothills of Nevada County, i eudeavored to raise a ";>:r.-p," an he is digging it ii: never give it a chunco to rest, and Pnssy Kpends li r days and the :::sL ot her nights in trees, or Hying through windows ami mirrors.

It was so torrid that the ice wagon turned into a street sprinkler, and out of the rr:u.k* of the original i sprinkler ateam puffedin fierce, hot jots. I met a friend who was bustling along, full of business and his arms lull of b indies. After the customary greeting and over-customary interchange of cheat nuts on the state of the weather, before and after the present day, for a Lengthy period, he asked where 1 was going on the Fourth, f replied, truthfully, that I i proposed to serve my country by remain ing at home. The expression that de lve lopod amid the dust and sweat on his nee was worthy of the attention Kodak Send. "G-r-e-a-t Scotland Not going to cel ebrate? Going to stay at home and do nothing?

He was sure Sebas topol had 2,000 Inhabitants, but 1 pinned him down finally to acknowledge 500.

IN RELIGION'S REALM. Expressions from the Various') Religious Newspapers. The Religious Thought of the Day as I Expressed in the Sectarian Press- Some Matters of Interest to Both Ministers and Laymen. The English Church Quarterly Review says: "The first controversialists who denied the doctrine of'the historic opisco- j }>ate,' or permanent place of the aposto ate in the church, wore not the Protest ant Reformers, but the Papists. A Bishop, according to the Jesuit scholastic theory, is merely an indirect and not a direct successor of the Apostles. He succeeds the eleven in their character as the sub ject brothers and sons of St. Peter—the Holy Father, the Sovereign Pontiff. A Bishop, according to the Papal theory, docs not hold immediately upon Christ, but holds from Him immediately through j the Bishop of Rome, his vicar. The apostolic succession is thus made to bo really seated in a majority of tho inter nationalist College or Cardinals, which is able to precipitate thesuccessorshiptoßt. i Peter, and consequently the universal episcopate over all churches, upon what soever person they may impose upon tho local church of Home as her Bishop." The Living Church (P. E.) says: "It is a time when all orthodox churchmen, whether they call themselves 'High' or 'Evangelical,' ought to act together, Bhonlder to shoulder, to stein the tide which is carrying away many of our younger men, :\n«l showing itself in vari- I ous forms within the church. The funda- i mental body of doctrine, which we hold in common, is far larger than the aggre gate of the points about which we differ, i A great theologian and large-hearted man used to Bay to the Evangelicals of I Lis day: '1 believe all which you believe; we only part where you deny.' We be lieve with him that there are at least Borne thing in which we are nearer to gether than is commonly supposed. Some of the conflicts between tin so schools in times past have certainly been little more than battles about word's. At any rate. ure certainly agreed that the Christian religion has come t.> us Bupernaturally by a special and miraculous revelation from above, that it is not a mere evolu tion of human thought, and that in this it stands in express contrast to other great systems which have influenced mankind. This is the point upon which the radical wing of the Broad Church party is bringing all its forces to bear. Without, in so many words, reject ing the the Christian documents or formularies, it is bending all its energies to evacuate them of their ancient meaning, and in fuse into them a new significance, striv ing to pour the new wine of their modern speculations into the old bottles of tho Christian Scriptures, creeds, sacraments, and institutions." I >n the Encyclical of Leo XIII. on the and industrial problems of the age, the Churchman, says: ''Nowthat it is pub lished, it does credit to the Pontiff's heart; but it proves, as might have been cx •d, that light ami leading in a matfc r oi' genuine perplexity are no more to be looked for from a Pope in this century than in any century of the past. In the present Encyclical tho Pope Bunplyre-I ji tats the role of previous Popes, though jie does it with a fatherly benignity which is ail his own. lie seems to as- some the truth of statements which cot historically true; he ignores facts which are conspicuous in the his ofthe worid: be affirms principles I b have been settled without his aid; and he contributes not one solitary idea to the solution of the problem to which his very excellent Encyclical is ad- j It this Encyclical i: published a hundred years ago. it would have well deserved to be regarded as a phecy; at this date it is nothing more than a record and a recognition of acts and bets, most of which have been don,. sttled by nations in which papal authority has no existence, and not one of which has been either authorized or] promoted by papal sanction. '"i he principle of distributive justice in industrial affairs has yet to be discovered; but the Pope has not discovered it, and it j is not Pones who will discover it. Neither will it be discovered by doctrinaires or visionaries. It will be approached by slow degrees, as experience shall dis-1 close its it by bit in the gradual I process of social evolution. But the in-! dispt ii'iit ion on which alone the evolutionary process can avoid the de turbulenoe of revolution is that ry growing wrong shall be put down m aa Its iniquity is proved, and that j in shall be protected and main tain* as its inherent justice Is •manifest. The value of the Pope's ydical lies chiefly in this, that it (hows the impending danger of union, and that it asserts the indis pensable necessity of the discovery of a principle of social justice which thePopo himself has not discovered." The land Presbyterian says: "'j tie fad that the vote of the Assembly was seven to one in vetoing Dr. Brigg's ointment, and that of the director's t.i retain h:m in spile of the Veto ten to to one. indicates that each aide will wtiek ision. If we consider this mat ter in connection with the heresy trial now pending in New York Presbytery against Dr. Briggs,andthe dissatisfaction 01 many of the leading friends of revision with the Imperfect way Dr. Patton and bis committee propose to do that work, we may easily see a prospect for protracted controversy, the result of •which no man can foretell.'' The Rev. Dr. Ludlow, long one of the pastors of the Collegiate lunch Church m New York, and now in Orange, New Jersey, sends to the BbanaeUai Pros, "an extract from a letter written by one of our in land influential min isters In Western New York.

It is many years since the following re markable incident in my life took place. For the ordinary commonplace details of everyday experience my memory is gen erally held to be indifferent, but the cir cumstances in this case wero such that they have indelibly fixed themselves in my recollection, as though they had oc curred yesterday. At the time 1 allude to I was a very raw young ensign, scarcely done with the goose-step. My regiment was quartered in the Barracks, situated in a suburb of the capital of that well-known island fortress which stands warden over the blue waters of the Mediterranean high way, within sight of Sicilian Etna, and al most of Northern Africa. To make my narrative clearer I will be gin by presenting to the reader the chief character in it. Ralph D was a young fellow with an odd history. What brought him to Malta none of us ever exactly know. He was understood to have been in one of "John Company's" iegiments,but wheth er horse or loot I cannot remember. His own account was that ho had left the In dian service (tor some unexplained rea son), and found his way to Vienna, got himself into a regiment of Austrian cav alry, as not a few ex-Hiitish officers man aged at that time lo do. But, for reasons best known to himself and the authori ties, bis stay in tfae Kaiser's service was not of long duration, and when I joined my regiment in the island principality sacred to San Publios D was a well known character among the English resi dents and garrison. .Not that the noto riety was altogether conducive to his fair fame, but 1) had a singular way of worming himself into the good graces of B particular set. and passed for a gentle man of affable manners, much wit, and especially a certain and bold diablerie that stuck at nothing, and gave him a kind of popularity among the more dar ing spirits in society. How well 1 can call up his appearance! Dark, brilliant eyes and black hair; a tell, lithe figure, with a very peculiar but really bewitch ing smile on occasions when it suited iiiin to please; and a beautifully-shaped contour of head and profile. He was known to be of good family, and, as he had been in the service, my regiment had made him an honorary member oi our mess; and I rather think another corps in our garrison had given him the same en tree into theirs. At all events, lie was on good terms with some of our fellows, though our Colonel and one or two of the older ollicers certainly did not encourage him much, as his example was not con sidered beneficial to the juniors. 1) was a wonderful billiard player. I never saw anyone beat him at "losing hazards" or the 'Spot stroke." As to pool, our "lives" wero nothing in his hands; and at all card games in particu lar, both the skill and the luck of the man were extraordinary. Night after night I have seen him at play, and his winnings must have almost sufficed to maintain him. As to other traits in his character, I am sorry to say l never heard of one single good or generous sentiment that could no traced to him. D 's talk at the mess-table, or in the anteroom, waa of the mo3t cynical Savor it was ever my lot to hear; and though "de mortuis nil nisi bonum" is an excel lent and decent moral to abide by, truth compels me to add that some very sinis ter tales of D 's influence over the other sox had got about at the lime I speak of. What lias now come to be dig nified with the name Of hypnotism was unknown as such in those days, but i believe v possessed some conspicu ous powers in this direction, and I am afraid was not always over scrupulous in his use of them. Even at this distance of time his portrait stands out clear to my mind's eye-^-a kind of Rembrandt-liko sheen upon it, !>y reason of the mysteri ous shadow in the background wbieh was to loom up aud cover it with the blackness of darkness. I ought perhaps to add, for tho better understanding of what is to follow, that fora little while be foretbe denouement came, some ominous whisperings 1401 afloat among us about 1) and the methods whereby so much silver and gold was perpetually being transferred at whist and ecarte from other people's pockets to his own. Posr in my long experience of those holding her gracious majesty's commission, not withstanding a black sheep here and there, it is not to be denied that scrupu lous honor and fair dealing have ever been in the forefront of their traditions. I now come to the memorable day of the occurrence of the strange incident, to one phase of which I and others—most of them gone now—were eye-wiine-ses. The season was Holy Week toward the end of April 18th. Music has always been a passion with me. and every afternoon preceding Good Friday in that particular when I could get oil" duty from the dust and glare of the white parade ground and the monotonous bawling of the drill sergeant, it was my wont to steal away to the Duomo of San Gricvanni. An'l who that has ever sat in that stately cathe dral church, surrounded by its splendor of inland marble and under the magnifi cent frescoes of Matteo Preti, and in tho dimly lighted atmosphere, odorous with incense, listened to the entrancing strains of tho Office of the "Tenebrae," could ever forget it? Such exquisite pathos in the solos, inexpressibly mournful, yet sweet, and then the moaning harmonies of the antiphonal choruses —like no other music I ever heard, or probably shall ever hear again—while one by one, at in ters als, the great burning candles on the sable-draped altar are being solemnly extinguished! My thoughts will wander back to these impressions, so vivid are they still. Well, the eve of Good Friday arrived. I had gone over to see a friend on tho Verdala side of the Grand Harbor, and on my return after dark, what a night it was—still, calm, cloudless, a star-specked vault overhead. The air was deliriously soft; and as I sat in the stern of the gondola-shaped galley while the dark ligure of the boatman monoton ously aud silently plied his long sweeps, great gray ramparts frowned on every side, and tho lights twinkled, flashing back in wavering duplicates from the faintly rippling water. 1 was Boon along side tho low jetty on tho Valctta side, and, ascending the great flight of steep stove steps, presently found myself in the strait Strada Reale. Here it was no easy matter threading one's way, for the (session of the "Stazione," rcpresent the main incidents of the "Passion," passing up the street. At all times pageant, which some no doubt would at superstitious and papistical, has ued to me full of solemnity, notwith iding that the symbolic figures used are often somewhat tawdry, and savoring too much of stage properties. In the in tense silence maintained by the multi tude of spectators, as each scenic group passes by; in the deep reverence exhib ited, as the wail of tho dirge-like music swells louder and louder, heralding the approach of the grand central tableau, the crucifixion; in the sacred form up raised on a colossal cross, towering high above you, flanked by the two malefac tors on lesser crosses: in the sudden bar ing of all heads, as the shrouded plat form-bearers with masked faces go by, laboring under their self-imposed bur den—in all this one feels the great car dinal truth borne in upon one, despite all the concomitant flummery and gewgaws and evanescent emotion of the scene. The echo of the sentry's sharp chal lenge, "Halt! who comes there?" and, "Pass, friend—all's well,'' had hardly died down when I found myself at the door of my quarters, which faced the offi cers' mess-block. By this time the Pas chal moon, all but full, was high in tho sky. and cast a great snadow from tho tall buildings facing tho range of barracks across the parade. Though on this night superfluous, a feeble oil-lamp flickered here and there, for gas was a luxury not then indulged in, and tho department which was charged with these things loved darkness better than light, because it cost less. I should here explain that Thursdays were the "guest" nights of mv regiment at that time, and on this evening the regimental band had as usual been playing on tho open space just outside, fronting the mess-room win dows. It must have b>v:i past 11 o'clock when I reached the barracks; and al though most of the outsiders who were allowed in to hear the music on such oc casions were gone, I noticed two or three Htill waiting about. One in particular, a remarkably tall man in a long, dark cloak, and with some sort of hood over his head like a monk's cowl, was stand ing under one of the mess windows with his back to me. I sauntered into my room, lit a cigar, and came out again to muse in the quiet moonlight over the "Tenebrae" and the "Stazione." By this time the loiterers were all gone except the tall, cloaked man, who appeared to have never moved or changed his posi tion since I saw him first. The open win dows of the mess-room were still aglow, and through the boughs of a row of lank trees along the inclosure wall one could see the distant twinkling lights of the town. Something in the appearance of this solitary shroudod figure attracted and lixed mv attention. To be so attired in a warm, balmy night like this, in a semi tropical climate, seemed peculiar. And I had already been struck with his phe- I nonieual stature, contrasted with those who had been standing beside him. Who could the man be, nnd what on earth was he waiting for? It crossed my mind that this must bo either one of the dominoed incogniti who had been following in the Passion procession, or else one of the Capuchins from a neighboring monas j tery; but a friar would hardly stroll In to listen to a military band, and then stand stock still alono under tho windows of j the officers' mess. With the momentary passing thought came the sound of pretty j loud talking, and occasionally a laugh, from tho lit-up anteroom opposite, where it was plain some of our fellows must be, probably engaged at whist, 100, or somo 1 other card game. Why, I cannot tell, i but along with a feeling of indefinable repulsion toward him, an impulse seized me to watch the muffled stranger closely, and at the same time an awakening con sciousness that I had better walk straight over and ask the man what ho wanted there at that time of night. As my gaze fastened itself on the motionless figure, j whose head seemed in the bright moon light to be bent a little to one side in an i intent listening attitude, I became con- I scious of a kind of chill and numbness creeping through my limbs, with that Horrible sense of inability to move lor ward one occasionally experiences in dreams when something dreadful is go- Ing to happen which one wants to avert. 5 88, whoever the man was, most assur edly lie must be watching Mid waiting and Listening for something or somebody in the mess-room, with that strained in tentness yet absolute quiescence of post are! But why this vehement and alto i getht r unaccountable foreboding of im j pending evil borne in upon me? These bethinkings, however, were all the work of a few seconds, when, with i eyes still riveted on the mysterious watcher, I heard several voices within the room calling out in excited tones as though some altercation were going on. nw voice above all the others came with a kind of strident sharpness through the I open window, in which it was easy to r guize D 's hard and distinct ac cents. I seem to hear the words rasp ing out as I writ'1. "I tell you I dealt myself the ace of spade?;" then another vkv. young N 's, "I'll take my oath you didn't," and then a '.erriblo Impreca tion from D which I will not repeat, invoking the Prince of Darkness to the ruin of his soul and body if what he had stated was not the truth. As the last words struck on my ear the tail, cloaked figure mad-' an instantane ous movement) leaped up with a light, sv.itt spring to the window-sill he was standing under, and disappeared through muslin curtains into the room, for I was unable to see farther into it from my position. Another instant, and an ear piercing scream rang o\it—a harsh, ap palling cry as of mingled pain, rage and terror, from one in dire extremity—and to my horror and utter amazement he in the cloak reappeared at the window with I) gripped in his. arms, and half slang j over one shoulder, apparently struggling i desperately. One instant both faces were visible in the moonlight, D 's ghastly and convulsed, the other set back in its somber hood and covered with a black domino, from the eyelets of which I was nr. Johnson one night at supper, which he was enjoying with uncommon satis faction, "have a foolish way of not mind ing, or pretendtng not to mind what they eat," and he added that a man who had no regard for his stomach will have no regard for anything else. Declarations of indifference to the choice of ono's food, except in cases of what Liebig might call interior oxygena bility of constitution, are generally the merest affectation—aa much so as Byron's when he dined at Rogers' on a potato and a little vinegar, and was discovered im mediately afterward stuffing himself with a luxurious meal at a restaurant. What a contrast to the poet's affectation was Hazlitt's frankness, who did not hesitate to write to the woman of his "heart of hearts," that ho never loved her so well as when he thought of "sitting down with her to dinner on a boiled scrag-end of mutton and hot potatoes." Apropos to this subject, why is it that Americans, who evidently have a keen appreciation of the pleasures of the table, generally rush through their meals in Huch hot haste? The celerity with which they bolt their food, though less offensive to the epicure than it was fifty years ago, still appalls a foreigner, and indicates a lack of discrimination among the dishos set before them. They appear to regard all edibles, salmon and canvas back duck alike, with codtish and baked beans as means only of quieting v barkiug stomach Icnientem htomachuvi latnxn tem —and pone of them aa substances gifted with rich essences, subtle ila vors, that require to be brought out and analyzed. Not so with our cousiu, John Bull. Whatever the quantity of edibles and potables ho gorges at his meals, he never dispatches one of them, «b ovo ad mala, in a hurry. Ho sits down to his roast beef or "Southdown" as a warrior would sit down before a for tress, and proceeds calmly and carefully to discuss each slice, as if he wero fully sensible of its delicious qualities, and profoundly thankful to the gracious Providenco that thus ministers to his deepest sensual cravings. There are few things by which character is more unmistakably betrayed than by a man's choice of food and tho manner in which he devours it. In his preference for coarse or delicato edibles, or.lack of preference for any—in the deliberate slowness or voracious quickness with which he consumes them —traits of char acter otherwise hidden are revealed. The dinners of a people aro an infalliblo index of the national life. It has been justly said that there is a whole geologi cal cycle of progressive civilization be tween the clammy dough out of which a statuette might be molded and the brittle films that melt upon the tongue like flakes of lukewarm snow. In England one of the tests by which the various parties in the State Church are unerringly distinguished is the test con vivial. For example, it is said that some years ago a clergyman in that country went to a hotel to order a dinner for a number of clerical friends. "May I ask, sir," said the waiter, gravely, "whether the party is High Church or Low Church?" "Now, what on earth," cried the clergyman, "do my friends' opinions matter to you?"

Gibbon tells of Soliman, a caliph in the eighth cen tury, who died of Indigestion in his camp near Chalcis, in Syria, just as he was about to lead an army of Arabs against Constantinople. He had emptied two baskets 01 eggs and of ii-.s, which I be swallowed alternately, and the repast was finished with marrow and sugar. In a pilgrimage to Mecca the same caliph had eaten with impunity, at a single meal, seventy pomegranates, a kid, six fowls and a huge quantity of the grapes at Tayef. Such a statement would defy belief were not others of a similar character well avouched. Louis XIV. could hardly boast of an appetite as ravenous as Soliinan's, but he would eat at a sitting four platefols of different soups, a whole pheasant, a partridge, a plateful of salad, mutton hash with ear lic, two good-sized slices of ham, a dish of pastry, and finish with fruit and sweet meats, shade of Hippocrates what were j stomachs made of in those days? It will surprise many admirers of a great English poet of this century to I learn that he was a great eater.

8 HEARTILY WELCOMED, The New Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association. A Reception to Mr. Speares at tho SixtU-Street M. E. Churcli— The Programme. Tho Young Men's Christian Association tendered a reception to their new General Secretary, John L. Speares, last evening at the Sixth-street M. EL Church. There was a very large and enthusiastic attendance, and Mr. Speares was given a welcomo that must have made his heart glad. A splendid [programme was ren dered, including some fine addresses. After an overture by tho orchestra, the President of the association, Chauneey H. Dunn, welcomed Mr. Speares on behalf of the officers and members of the asso ciation and assured him of their hearty co-operation. He said this was an age for young men, when they held important positions in all departments of work. Tho great corporations of the State and nation have young men at the head of important departments, guiding and directing them. Our universities and colleges arc manned by young men as principals and professors. In the commercial worldjjthe large whole sale and retail firms doing the business of the country are largely controlled and directed by young men. Merer in the history of the world did young men hold the responsible and important positions now held by them. The present age is also an age of specialists. Men trained for Special depart incuts of work. In law, in medicine, in tho sciences and in nearly all lines of work. The association in ex tending a call to Mr. Speares kept in line with this spirit of the age, and called a young man and one specially trained for the work and with ten years experi ence as a teneral Secretary. We believe that in him we will have an executive Officer Who can take up the work and carry it on to better results than have been accomplished lv re yet. a quartet composed of Miss Celia Schubert, Miss Alice Andrews, M. K. Barrett and L. E. Smith rendered some Bplendid selections. Rev. K. M. Stevenson then welcomed Mr. Speares on behalf of the Pastors' 1 Tiion. lie said: "Our great Master said, 4] will make you to become fishers of men.' They were not fishers of men. They were to become fishers. One can not eaten trout without skill. We have heard you are skillful. Yon will find Sacramento good fishirtg ground. Yoa will find hero the opportunity of your life. En thiß State you cannot fish with nets with small meshes. But in li-hinu for men you can take the small on*-s as well as the large. There is no limit to the si-/...- of the meshes you may wish to use." Miss Nettie B. Dunn rendered a charm ing piano solo, and her effort was fol lowed by a dialogue between George B. Katzenstein anda friend. Ed I. Mitchell gave -'me selections on the banjo and i>. •i. I >:i\ is sang. Major 11. Weinstock.on behalf of the. business men oi Sacramento, exU i hearty welcome to Mr. Speares. saiti: "Some communities are so young that their characters have not yet begun to form; some bo old that they are beyond any change; others are in themidstof the rapid formation period. Sacramento be longs to the latter class. As compared to cities that spring up in a night, Sacra mento is old and staid. Compared to cities of Europe and the Orient she is in the formation period. What Sacramento is to be depends upon the efforts r the.so who an- iv her midst at the present and those who -hall come to our midst in the itare The Young Men's Christian Association i« a great agency foe good, and well qualified to do its share toward g Sacramento what it should be. We hope Mr. Bpoares will find Sacra mento ii" i\ orse than other cities, and thai Jn> work here will meet with Mi!- fullest measure of success, in behalf of the com ii Interests of the city, l welcome V'ti. we feel that your work will be for the very best interest of our city." Mr.Speares.the new Secretary, responded feelingly to the hearty welcomes ex tended t him. "I cannbi help feeling f grateful from the bottom of my heart," I, "for the welcome extended to i'his audience and the welcomes that have come from so many sources, and even from the State through the state try, are an inspiration in them- Belves. I did not come out here for my health,'neither for rest, hut for work. When I left the East for [owa I was told it \\:ts ;i bard field and that I was making ji mistake, but 1 never regretted going On re. >N.i tound it hard to break away after being the glad ol bo able b n to th The ii\>- who have come dor- ™>alfl.Baking Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standard. iIPTCR QUAUiMf^ BATHE THE Hi 9 kll OnllWlilll face with POND'S EXTRACT.

The one who in :i day or two will reach Sacramento, on his way to the most trying association iield in the State, will be glad of a cordial hand grasp by one only a short time his predecessor. I want to con gratulate California on the acquisition of a secretary of many years experience. I want to congratulate Mr. Spears on com incr to a State like California, where rightly applied effort in any direction will produce gratifying results, where the opportunity is so great. "Allusion has been made to Christian work as a species of lishing. In Christian work skill and experience, though a great aid, are not all sullicient. The 1 >is (dples said: 'Master, we have toiled all the night and have caught nothing; nev ertheless at Thy word we will letdown the net.' I believe Mr. Speares comes to you in this spirit, not relying so much upon his own powers, as in the power of God and the help of God, 'Launch out into tho deep,' undertake great things, but do it at the direction of the Master, and fish will be caught. .Let the directors and active members give hearty co-operation and the work will tell wonderfully for the Christian and moral elevation of the young men of Sacra mento." This concluded the programme and the guests all repaired to the Association Hall, next door to the church, whore re freshments awaited them. ATTEMPTED MURDER. Roy Lefevre Mysteriously Stabbed at Seventh and G Streets. A Book In Ills Pocket Shielded His Heart from the Deadly Knife— Two Arrests. A young man named Koy Lefevro called on Mrs. Svhad, the wife of res taurant-keeper, last evening, at her resi dence at Seventh and G streets. The woman has been separated from her husband for several months. When Lefevre left the house several hours later, he had walked but about ten steps when he noticed a man walking rapidly toward him. He did not suspect that the man meant any harm, and con tinued leisurely on. HKA2TT MtUDEH. But just as the stranger was about to pass him, he (the stranger) suddenly whipped out a dagger and dealt Lete\ I r a terrible blow over the heart, felling him to the ground. The would-be murderer then took to his heels and soon disap peared in the darkness. MiUArii.iils ESCAPE. Lefevre did not know that he had been struck with a knife until he walked a place beneath an electric light, when he discovered a hole in his coat. The knife had cut through the coat and vest, and partly through a memorandum book which the young man carried. Had it not been for this book young Lefevre would now probably occupy a slab at the morgue, as tho murderous weapon was aimed directly for his heart. Lefevre was badly frightened, and, hur rying to the police station, told Captain Le t what had happened. iie gave a fairly good description of his assail.tut, and the police began an inves tigation immediately. WAS IT TIIK lii SIIAXD? From facts that the police were enabled to get hold of after midnight they felt confident the WOUld-be murderer was none other than the Woman's husband. Hi-is said to be a man of an extremely jealous disposition and very violent at At all events Schftd and a brother of his, who was seen in the neighborhood of the cutting, were arrested at an early hour tins morning on suspicion, and will be held, pending further investigation.

Dr. Mott,the Gov't Chemist,says: "The Royal is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public." AMUSEMENTS. Brady's new nlay. an adaptation from the drama, ''Fond de la Mer," and en titled, "The Bottom of tho Sea," was produced to a fairly good house at the Metropolitan Theater lust night. Several of the scenes are novel, tho mechanical effects mostly now, aud the scenery very good. Notably that of the deck of a mod ern French warship, and that represent ing the descent of armored divers to the bottom of tho sea, with electric lights in their helmets, safety lines, air tubes and all the paraphernalia of the diver. This scone was made to resemble the ocean depths by numerous gauze curtains, which were removed one after another to the last; this remained alone when tho divers descended, and their incandes cent electric* lights illuminated the scene, and showed the bottom o'i the sea strewn with the debris of wrecks, the bodies of the dead and the marine monsters. An octopus was wcii counterfeited, with its long tentacles seeking to grasp one of the divers; the groping of the divers, the robbery of the dead, the conflict between two of the searchers, were all well depicted. The scene of tho cable laying was a realistic one, and barring some inconsistencies, was an admirable one. The scene of the sinking of a ship and tho rescue of pas sengers by an American yacht, was well put on and worked. The men in tho play are personated by competent people, all of them capable, we should say, of bet ter work than" is given them in this piece. Mr. Wobster, weU known here, was the villain of the melodrama, and as cold blooded and rascally a one as the morbid taste could desire. J. M. Brophy and Ross O'Neil, the leading men. are both clever actors, and B. J. Murphy is a good Irish comedian. Miss Fanny Cohen, the soubretle of the cast, is one of the espi daily clever people of the piece. The play is interesting from its novelty. Tho plot is like the usual run of melodramas where the spectacular is made the chief motive of the play, it is without literary merit* and its story is ordinary, in the Scenic effects and the novelty of the sub terranean scenes the strength of the piece resides. The supernumeraries are a ju venile and astonishing lot, and from ian of the play evoked a sar castic witticism. The piece was well re ceived by the audience. It will be given for the last time here to-night. A vocal and instrumental convert will bo given at the Congregational Church on Tuesday evening next, the 14th in stant, of which J. C. Dunster will be the organist and conductor. The admission will be lifty cents. Was He From Sacramento?

Basy Frnit-Growers in a Prettj Yolo Valley—Tancred and Its Adjoining Farms. TN THE SPRING OF LAST YEAH Robert A. and Keal T">. Barker associated tlMmselvss nv.'.-. WflUam McKay,all of Oa* tend, with n v., Idnt: out a suit:ibie location in which to engage in the profitable occupation of fruitgrowing. After visiting many localities, they decided on the Capay VaiU-y, Yolo County, and the Rhodes tract at Tancred. Negotiations were opened with mo Capay Valley Land company, owning the ttaet in question. With 11. BUlls, the G«n«ral Agent of that oompany, they arranged Cor tha purchase of about acres Of foothill land. This being iiu.ro than they had thought of Qg for their own use, they spoke BO a number of friends about it, with the result that the tract was divided among the toQaw> ins people: B. L. Hideo*:, le> acres; NV r. T. Barnett, SO acres; N. T. Greathead, 20 acres; Mrs. Greathead, 80 acres; W. ?»t«-K»y, no acres; N. i\ Barker, 99 acres; R. A. Barker^ 20 acres; J. p. Bro* id. c, SO acres; K. H. Hji» lett, ioacre-; Joseph Barker, 10 acres; a. w. KelJy. 10 i 10 acres. Bo far this had been merely a nrlvate ven ture of the gentlemen above named, but in talking up the question of dividing the laßd aiready purchased, it w:is lound tiiat so many more would like to Join it than thearca of tho purchase would admit of, that it, was sue tested on all hands, "Why not u'Ct some more land and divide it up in the same w;r. Tnen loliowed the idea of a stock company to tajti- hold of a larger tract and arrange for tha cultivation of the whole of it, after subdividing %t according to the requirements of the sub> 6cribers. A provisional board was formed, 3 prospectus issued, and finally, on the sth of June, 1800, the Western Co-operative ».'ol omzatior and Improvement Oompany was duly registered and procoeded to br.sincsa, with the following officers: President, Wai. lam McKay; Vice-President, M. P. J'rown; Directors—H. a Ellis, Charles Brooke and B.A. Barber; Secretary and Genera] Mana^j Neal r. Barker; Solicitor, c. X Snook; T Oicr, First National ifeuik of Oakland. The balance of the tract, ;57:> acres, was pur chased. A contract was entered into for the purchase of a lar^c number of lruit trees. vines, etc. This early purchase Of trees waa the means of Raving between 98,000 a id $4,000t0 the company, the prices In some cases having more than doubled since then. The ideas which the prospectus set forth have been but slightly "hiodni.-d and rho progress of tho company has bei :i uninter rupted. Those who went Into it doubttngly have become enthusiastic, wad almost all tho mome 40,000 trees and between IiO.OOO and 30.0U0 vines will ha planted. The satisfactory working of this F.-neme has had the effect of attracts considerable at tention to the work of the Coiony Company, and a number of people are now derirousof Joining in with them. An additional 200 acres have been added vo the sixty acres originally purchased. For tne company is predicted a very bright future, as well as for the beautiful valley in which their operations are conducted. How this marvelous little garden has come to be so long neglected is a puzzle to every one who has visited it, but one thing is very sure, nnd that is that this neglect will never again be felt In the Valiey. The fruits set out are mostly of tho standard varieties--peaches, apricots, Bartlett pears, prunes, llgs, raisin grapes, etc., while along both sides of the avenues, throughout the tract, walnuts will throw their grateful shade. A considerable number of citru also being set out; quite a sufficient number to demonstrate thai these fruits can bo sue. fully grown in the valley, about which the colonists appear to have no doubt, provided proper care is given to the young trees. Neal D. Earlier, General Manager Of the company, resides on the tract, and to his care is to bo ascribed much of the success of the venture. Mention should be made of the town-;:t», about which there Is a pleasant innovation which might with profit be. followed by more ambitions places. A small park of some three acres has been laid ottt right in the center of the town. This park it is proposed to beautify by plan ting in it from time to time as many c! the beauties and curiosities c-f tree and shrub life as ir.oy be obtained by diligent search/and a wise expenditure) of money, it is not expected that Tancred Trill over be a large ai!d busy city, but it is thought that It ccn be made a very pleasant Mtt:.
