President Foster’s family drove up from their Hopland residence and with Mr. Foster spent the afternoon in camp. Dur- ing their stay, the hospital corps went through its interesting drill. Captain Far- rell, who has seen service in the English army in Soudan, has charge of this corps. The men illustrate the handling of the dead and wounded as found on the field, using the regular canvas-stretcher, a litter made of two rifles, a litter made by cross- ing the hands of the helpers and other means—such as might be suggested by the occasion. The carrying of wounded from the field by four, three, two and one of the corps excited much applause. There are on exhibition at the colonel’s headquarters two handsome trophies to be ‘won at target practice. One, a solid silver urn-shaped cup, on a base of black ebony with a target medallion over a circle of cannon-balls and crossed pieces of artillery, was donated by A. W. Foster; the other was donated by Captain Ober- meyer, to be given to the best rifle team of fiity men in the Second Artiliery Regi- ment. The latter piece is of silver, with three salver-shaped fruit bowls mounting a square base with brocade finish, The blackberry and the grape are shown in the piece, with fruit and vine in silver. The piece bears a medallion target shaped over crossed rifles.

VISALIA, Car., June 19.—Christian F. it was found that Morrison bore a striking resemblance to one of the robbers who par- ticipated in the hold-up of the Southern Pacific train near Sacramento last Decem- ber, in which a gang got away with some- thing like $80,000. Morrison tallies per- fectly with the description of one of the men engaged in the hold-up, and a very | ignificant point is that he denies being a Iroad man, while Sheriff Burr has ascer- tained positively that he was a former em- ploye of the Southern Pacific Company. The circumstances surroinding the rob- bery pointed to the perpetrators being ex- perienced railroad hands. HENTS AT S JOSE, Six Hours in Prison for a Woman Who Delayed the Court.

D Hotel Men Discuss Questions of Interest to the Landlord and His Guest. SANTA BARBARA, Car., June 19.— Fruit-growers around Santa Barbara re- port that the ladybird Vidalia, which did such splendid execution in exterminating a colony of cushion scale on citrus trees a few years since, in lieu of food has now taken to the wooly aphis and is busily cleaning apple trees of the pest. Mean- while, a native species of the ladybird, a tiny terra cotta insect bearing two white spots on its head, commonly known as the Twice Stabbed, finding its imported Aus- tralian sister was not doing its duty by the black scale and that the citrus plantations were failing in consequence, has measured its steel with this destructive pest and is completely cleaning trees wherever it has colonized, especially wherever sprays have not been used to ‘the destruction of this useful insect. The attention of horticulturists is drawn to this important development., and meas- ures are hemE_ taken for breeding and distributing this industrious and intelli- gent beetle. E!)TEL MEN IN SESSION. Arranging to Suitably Entertain the National Association. SANTA BARBARA, Cavn., June 19.— The Southern California Association of Hotel Men convened in the Arlington parlors to-day, President Lynch of Hotel Florence, San Diego, in the chair. A committee of five—A. C. Billicke and F. 0. Johnson of Los Angeles, George W. Lynch and Mr. Bahcock of San Diego and E.W. Gaty of Santa Barbara—was ap- pointed to provide ways and means to entertain delegates to the National Asso- ciation of Hotel Men, which will convene at some undetermined point in Southern California next spring. Messrs. Billicke and Johnson were also added to the execu- tive'’committee. It was voted to hold the next semi-annual convention six months hence at Riverside and Redlands. An entertaining and instructive address was given by M. M. Potter of the West- minster Hotel of Los Angeles on how to conduct the rear of the house. E.W. Gaty of Arlington spoke forcibly upon hotel advertising. This gentleman is a hearty advocate of judicious and liberal advertis- ing, and pointed out the merits and advantages to the hotel-keeper. Frank A. Miller of Hotel Glenwood, Riverside, addressed the convention upon the subject of how to conduct a tourist hotel. H. W. Chase made a telling speech upon the much mooted subject, “Hotel Soap,” and how it should be used. At the conclusion of the session, Presi- dent Lynch gave a detailed account of the committee’s work before the National As- sociation in the East. He sharply criti- cized Manager Thorn of the Palace Hotel of San Franciseo for arrogating to himseli all credit for legislation accomplished in C; claiming that while the hotel-keepers south of Tehachapi were slightly outnum- bered by their brethren to the north, they had been exceedingly active upon all these questions, and had spent $2 for every $1 spent by the Northern Californians. Re- garding the reception to delegates to the comiug National Association’s convention, he wanted to see Southern Californian hotel men get down to work, and leave no uncertainty regarding the manner of the entertainment, for their committee had made many pledges as to hospitalities, which must be carried out for their own sakes and the sake of the State, which could have no more valuable advertise- ment than that to be secured by making friends of these visitors. After adjournment, the members, in tally-hos, coaches and carriages, visited the Old Mission in El Moutecito Valley, the Mesa and the Boulevard. To-morrow they go to VeRtura, where they will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Crank of Hotel Rose. Bicycle Thieves at Work. SANTA BARBARA, CAL., June 19.—A March nickel-rimmed bicycle, No. 1037, belonging to Harry Gaffner, was stolen from the curb on State street last evening. No trace of the wheel can be found and the officers are convinced it was immediately removed from this city. This is the sec- ond valuable bicycle stolen here within four weeks and the opinion prevails that an organized band of ' bicycle thieves, who have been operating all along the coast and are supposed to be running wheels across the Mexican line, are busily at work here.

TACOMA, WasH., June 19.—A Ledger special from Everett says the Council dis- missed the entire Everett police force of five men to take effect July 1.

There was prayer, led by Mrs. Elizabeth Selmar, president of the Denmark Woman’s Chris- tian Temperance Union of Copenhagen. Prayers were followed by memorial service in honor of “Our Promoted Comrades,” the memorial address being delivered by Miss Willard. She spoke as follows: “We have lost priceless jewels from the temperance casket since we last met. Mrs. Mary A.Woodbridge of Ohio, United States Montreal, Canada, are the first names of general officers, except that of Mrs. Mar- garet Bright Lucas, that have been trans- ferred to the rollcall of our promoted com- rades. It wasfitting that the first secretary of the World’s Woman’s Christian Tem- perance Union, Mrs. Woodbridge, should have'been by birth a New England woman, by training a woman of the West, and a leader in that ‘whisky war’ from which has come the woman’s temperance work of Christendom. “Mrs. Williams was treasurer of the Worid’s W. C. T. U., and her remarkably acute and trusty mind was invaluable to us in this too often thankless but always vitally important task. She kept to her task long after she knew herself ta be stricken by a mortal disease, and, never speaking of her suffering, she toiled on to the very day of her departure. “Few men who have passed ‘from con- sent to conquest’ have left behind them mementdes so enduring as our prohibition pioneer, William Jennings Demorest of New York [City. He had the ingenuity to plan and the wealth to carry out a great enterprise which his family.(who are, like himself, devoted to good works), will there is reason to believe render perpetual asa monument to the name now honored and beloved in every country. “With these my heart prompts me to group Mrs. Jane Stapler of Tahlequah, I. T., whom I first met while traveling in that remote region as a white-ribbon pioneer in 1881. Mrs. Stapler waga Cher- okee Indian and a daughter of a native chief, a woman of the rarest Christian character and conduct—a true mother o Israel. She was theleading woman inthat great tribe, and led her sisters in the work of the white ribbon, attending several of our National conventions and coming across the continent to greet Lady Henry Somerset avhen she first visited us in 1891, where this noble woman and the dark- faced daughter of the forest'clasped hands in the common love and faith of home protection for all lands and people. “And besides all these, within a few weeks we have lost John M. Stearns, for thirty years secretary of the . National Temperance Society and publishing house in New York City, whence have radiated streams of light and learning that have penetrated to the farthest corner of the Republic.” Later in the day the report of Miss Alice Guick of San Sebastian, Spain, formerly of Boston, was presented. The superintendent of the Sunday school de- partment recommended that the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union throughou the world unite to make tHe last quarterly temper- ance Sunday of 1895, which falls on No- vember 24, a special temperance day, not only in the Sunday-schools, but churches as well, Miss Anna Gordon, secretary of‘ the ‘World’s Union, presented the following report: 5 In the Australian colonies, federated, there are 290 local unions. The visit of Mrs. Eliza- beth W. Andrew and Dr. Kate Bushnell stimu- lated many unions and increased public inter- est in the purity department. There are now thirty departments. Queensland, Australia, has thirty-five W.C. T. U.’s and thirteen Young Woman’s Christian Temperance Unions in good working order, the membership being 21,008. Thirty-six superintendents are in charge of as many de- partments. A large number of signatures have been se- cured to the polyglot petition, and two peti- tions have been presented to the Parliament of Australia—one for the better protection of girls and one for theestablishmentof inebriate homes. New South Wales is the oldest colony in the Australian group, and had the honor of or- ganizing the first W. C. T. U. on their side of the globe, over twelve years ago. There are ten young woman’s societies, with & membership of bright, intelligent, musical, educated, cul- tured young women. There are fifty-five local unions in New South Wales with a membership of 2000, and & membership of nearly 300%in the young woman’s unions. Over 300 public meet- ings have been hela and nearly 2400 pledges taken. There are now some fifty-seven unions in South Australia, with a membership of 1600 ‘women and 400 honorary members. The Loyal Temperance Legion department has received a great impetus. Thirty-one departments of Wwork are in active operation and many others are being prosecuted in various localities. A ten days’ W. C.T.U. camp-meeting, the first ever held in the colopies, has just been con- cluded. The W. C. T.U. of South Australia has long been recognized as a power in the colony, and armed as it is now with the ballot as a weapon, it will more than ever be a force. The work in the Hawaiian Islands is main- tained, although there are but few societies. There is a young woman’s society in Honolulu and two juvenile bands, one for white children and one for native Hawaiians.

The British Women’s Temperance Association, numbering 100,000 women, has also de- clared for the enfranchisement of women. Another organization has recently been formed. It 1s a committee of specially representative women, who occupy promi- nent positions in all political parties and other associations—Liberal, Conservative, Liberal Unionist, temperance and suffrage —united with Mrs. Fawcett as president for the purpose of obtaining the signatures of women to the special appeal to the House of Commons in honor of woman’s suffrage.

Should a bank engage in such a transaction and, as you suggest, publish its acceptance of such a trust to the world, it would be my duty to call upon the Department of Justice to test the question whether or not the pro- ceeding was a crime against the United States. “It might also be my duty to suggest whether a bank holding a United States charter does not abuse its franchise and furnish ground for its forfeiture by acts in aid of hostilities against a nation with which the United States is at peace. ““You ask me not merely as to your tech- nical legal liability, but also as to your moral obligation, adding, ‘For we are all too loyal to our own country to seek to overthrow in any sense her laws.” I heart- ily commend the sentiment of the ques- tion,and am in a position to say your moral duty in the premises does not admit of the least question. It has been ex- pounded by no less an authority than the Supreme Court of the United States in the foliowing language: ‘The intercourse of this country with foreign nations and its policy in regard to them are placed by the constitution of the United Statesin the hands of the Government, and its decisions upon their subjects are obligatory upon every citizen of the Union. He is bound i r with the nation against which the war-making power has declared war, and equally bound to comamit no act of hostility against a nation with which the Government is on amity and friendshi; This principle is universaily acknowled, by the laws of nations. It lies at the fol dations of all Governments, as there could be no social order or peaceful relations be- tween the citizens of different countries without it.”” The Raleigh, which was ordered from New York to the Florida coast to prevent the departure of the filibustering expe- ditions against Cuba, arrived to-day at Key West, which she will make her base of operations. NEW YORK, N.Y., June 19.—General Rafael Quezada, just from Florida and New Orleans, says the prospects for free Cuba were never so bright. Despite the vroclamation of President Cleveland, sym- pathizers will continue to receive arms and enlistments, and try to tind means for getting them out of the country, shipping them first probably to Mexico. Words Fail To express the gratitude of many who despaired of help, but have been cured by = Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla, as in this case: “I cannot tell the great value Hood's Sarsaparilla has been to me. For two years I have been in poor health, taking medicine all the time with little benefit. In the win- ter [ had a severe attack of rheuma- tism and thought I '~ 274 should never get rid of it.
