Entries close at 8:30 4., WILL SETTLE THE STATE, The Big Colonization Scheme Wendell Easton Is Working in London. An Exhibit of Callfornia Products in London and Agencles All Over Europe. 13 2, i The largest, and what now appears to be the most promising Californaia immigra- tion enterprise ever organized is being pulled into working shape by Wendell Easton,who has been in London for several weeks. The syndicate, corporation, or whatever it may turn out to be, in which Mr. Easton is interested, is by far the largest and strongest one in capital and influence which has ever been organized to bring European colonies to California lands. In one of his private letters from London Mr. Easton hasrecently expressed his opinions of future successin glowing terms, and said that he believed that 10,000 well-to-do peo- ple of Europe can be settled in California within twenty-four months. If Mr. Easton’s expectations are half realized, the work will be the most notable and valuable colonization enterprise Cali- fornia has seen, and it will do much toadd to the development, population and wealth of the State. The promoters and backers of this col- onization enterprise have been working quietly and saying nothing. Those inter- ested in it here will not yet say much about the business details of the scheme. It is learned that a new corporation has been formed here to hand le large tracts of Cali- fornia lands mainly by selling them to Europeans that have some money who ean be induced to settle in California. H. Francis, an Englishman who belongs to an | influential London family and who has become quite well known in the Califor- nia business world during the last tew years, is one of the leading organizers of | ailing to finish in the firsy | the project, as are Easton, Eldridge & Co., the real estate people. Other people in California_and London are interested. Mr. Francis recently returned from Lon- don and Mr. Easton will return soon, when | George Easton will go there and keep things moving. | George Easton and Mr. Francis say that | all arrangements for the working of the | project will not be completed before Sep- | tember 1, by which time large plans for inauci immigration from Europe, es- peciaily from Great Britain and the coun- | tries of ‘Scandinavia, will be in operation. | The corporation will have large tracts all | over the State, which will be offered to | immigrants who will be of a class able to | make the first payment and furnish suffi- | cient guarantees. Besides the well-known | people who will manage the enterprise there will be concerned the Wilson Steam- ship Company. This is said to be the | wealthiest steamship company of Great | Britain, owning over fifty steamers, but its | business, which extends over all the worid, | mainly consists of immigrant traffic. This | company has long established immigration agents all over Europe, and as the connec- | with the California | enterprise will be in the nature of a part- | nership, its agents will become agents for The California people representative in London, | Bv: . | tion of this compan | California lands. | will keep an able | the steamship and other English peopie | interested wlYI keep an agent here, and | altogether there is to be an influential, broad-gauge and permanent agency for ringing desirable immigrants from Europe to California. That is the gist of what George Easton and Mr. Francis said yesterday about the scope and plans of the enterprise. which they would not speak of in detail. English | capital and Englishmen are being inter- ested, and various negotiations here and abroad are pending. “One thing I am free to say,” said the ere. | | George Easton yesterday, ‘‘is that oni; better class of people will be brought Land will be sold, subject to four page- ments, and the first payment must One difference between this and other colonization schemes of the kind is that every purchaser will have a reliable guarantee that the land he buys and the conditions he will nd are exactly as represented. The men interested both there and here are of such standing that the guarantee will mean something. Since leaving here in April my brother, Wendell Easton, has been pretty well over Europe and the ending negotiations are about completed. R‘[y brother writes that from his observa- tion he believes that 10,000 desirable people can be brought here within the next two years, but if we are half as successiul as that we will be doing wonders. He writes that he is visited at his hotel in London by an immense number of inquirers about California, and many of them are people of money and influence. Here is an origi- nal note he sent me, which arrangesan interview with Lord Herrick, who wants to come here with £10,000. “We have a number of large tracts all over the State. which we will try to settle. One is the L. J. Rose estate in Los Angeles County. Then we have the Mitchell estate of 50,000 acres near Modesto, a tract of 20,000 acres near Sacramento, belonging to a syndicate, and a large tract in Salinas County, which will be especially desirable to Scandinavians. ““We have others and will acquire others. The lands will range in price from $15 up- ward and will be adapted to a variety of crops and tastes. An especial effort will be made to bring out large colonies of people, who will settle together. We will establish and maintain an exhibit of Cali- fornia products in London, and I am just now negotiating for the purchase of the exhibit which at Chieago was _sold to the Land of Sunshine Company. I found that it had been sold to_another company and taken te "Kansas City, where it is now. We will move that to London soon if we can get it and re-enforce it. It would not be wise to say much about our.plans’in detail now, but 2verything will be ready for operation within ‘two months, I am confident.” ————————— Every Paris school has its “canteen,” where free meals are]guen to the children who cannot pay, while those who are bet- ter off pay in part or in full.

He Has Faced the 200-Yard Rifle Target for More Than Twenty Years. It was no great surprise to the many friends of Adolph Strecker in this City to learn of the remarkable scores made by him at the inauguration ceremonies of the shooting festival of the National Schuet- from San Francisco, and while his team failed to win, he made the largest indivi- dual score of the fifty-five men comprising the various teams. The shooting was at the ring target, and Strecker scored 222 points out of a possible 250, ten shots be- ing fired. : 3 Pn the individual ring-target shoot, how- ever, he was beaten by one point by Max Rosenthal of Milwaukee, who scored 94 out of a possible 100. 8 Strecker is now in the prime of manhood, and within the next few E\:ears he and his rifle will be frequently heard from. He will round out kis _forty-third year on the 4th of July. He is married and hastwo children. For the past twenty years he has been the senior member of the firm of Strecker & Kern, barbers, on Post street, near Kearny. He is a member of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club of this Citg, and also of the California Schuetzen Club. His partner, Mr. Kern, although not an expert shot himself, is a great admirer of the champion, and takesthe keenest inter- est in his success. Strecker’s success, he says, is due to the possession of remarkably steady nerves, aclear and strong eye, to the abnormal strength in his legs, and to the great deli- ADOLPH STRECKER. [From a photograph.] zenbund of the United States which be- gan Sunday at Schuetzen Park, Glendale, L. L. His scores were: 46 out of a possible 50 at the standard target, 73 out of a possi- ble 75 at the ring target and 97 out of a possible 100 at the man target. At the ring and man targets he carried off the first prizes, while at the standard he was tied by two other marksmen, one of them also a Californian, E. Blondau. Strecker is the acknowledged champion shot of the world at 200 vards. His best score, which is the world’s record, was made last August at Schuetzen Park, San Ratael, when he scored 366 points out of a ossible 800 in 200 shots at the point target. i,{e has also figured to great assunmge in many other contests with the rifle. He first came into prominence in 1874, when he won the King medal from a list Point Target. of competitors numbering 1100 at Balti- more. He again came well to the front in 1876, when he was beaten at Philadelphia by William Hayes at a six-day bullseye match by a small margin. His defegt, his friends claim, was due to the fact that just before the contest he had been confined to bed by illness for a period of nearly five months. Since then he has not been in any matches in the East except the recent one at Milwaukee, but has done a great deal of clever work in this vicinity. His forte is shooting at 200 yards, but several years ago he shot against Milton Farrow of West Virginia, at Alameda, at 500 yards, and though his opponent re- sorted to reclining positions and Strecker fired standing the latter came away the victor. At the Midwinter Fair shoot, although he failed to carry off any first prizes, his failure to do so was aftributed to lack of practice. At the peint-target match, in which only centers or red flags counted, he scored 23 in 100 shots, while giu success- ful rival, Mr. Enret, secured 27. But in Ring Target. the total number of points Strecker made the best record. Again, in the man-target match, at the same time, he made a score of 93 out of a possible 100, but was headed by O. P. Young, with 96. His latest exploit had for its scene Shell Mound Park, the event being a shoot to determine who was to secure tue free ticket to New York offered by the Exam- iner. Thirteen men competed. He won with a score of 347 out of a possible 600, with 200 shots at the point target. Second place-was taken by D. McLaughlin, with a score df 320. At the shootiog festival held at Mil- waukee, from June 19 to 23 inclusive, Strecker demonstrated that he had lost none of his old-time nerve, delicacy of touch, strength and accuracy of eye. Irt the standard-target shoot the task was to score 250 with the fewest number of shots, five being scored for a bullseye. Strecker reached the limit with sixty-one shots fired in fifty-five minutes. The com- gamor coming nearest to his score had to re 101 shots and occupied two hoursin the task. At the man target Strecker scored 97 out of a possible 100 in five shots and carried off the first prize, There was a team shoot during this fes- tival in which eleven cities were repre- sented. Strecker wasin the team, entered cacy of touch he possesses. The strength in his nether limbs he attributes to his habit of standing erect while engaged in his vocation, and his sensitive touch to the frequent use of soap and hot water, whieh keeps the epidermis of a most delicate texture. His favorite weapon is a_32-caliber Win- chester ritle with hair trigger, and he is credited with being one of the very few men who can touch a hair trigger without releasing it. This attribute is said to greatly aid in accuracy in firing. Strecker molds his own bullets and fills his own shells, using 45 grains of powder for each charge. He pays particular attention to seeing that his shells are perfecily clean before loading them, boiling them and "then thoroughly drying thém. He prac- tices nearly every Sunday at San Rafael or Shell Mound Park. The targets most in use for 200-yard apoctxng are the point, rinE ané man. 'he first named is a black disk 12 inckes in diameter, divided into three gnrts by fine white circles. The center is 314 inches in diameter and scores three points. The middle ring 1s 13 inches in width and scores two, while the outer has a width of 214 inches and scores only one point. This is the target gemeraily used in deciding who is emtitled to be king of the shooting festival, The ring target is divided into 25 circles, each being three-fourtbs of an inch wide, and are numbered from 1 to 25, the marks- man _being credited with the number of the ring he hits. The portion of the target from 18 to 25 is painted black and the re- mainder white. As the name implies, the man target shows a portion of the human body, from the head to the waist. It is 39% inches across and is divided vertically -into 39 sections, each 1 inch wide, except the center or heart, which measures 154 inches, The sections are numbered, from each of the sides to the heart, from 1to 20, the rifleman scoring as many points as is indi- cated by the number on the section he strikes. At the point target the customary num- ber of shots is 200, at the ring target three and at the man target four. The Stanford Declsion. United States Circuit Judge Ross has given the Government ten days in which to filea_new complaint in the Stanford case. Judge McKissick, ayeclnl counsel for the Government, is in favor of an ap- peal on the demurrer without filing a new complaint, as he is satified that the case will be carried to the United States Su- g:eme Court in any event. Nothing will done, however, until the ten days in which an amended complaint can be filed expire, e Deadly Statisti A distinguished specialist has carefully noted the difference between 12 families of drinkers and 12 families of temperate persons during 12 years, with the result that he found éut the 12 drinking families uced 1n those years 57 children, while he temperate ones were accountable for 61. Of the drinkers 25 children died in the first week of life, as against six on the other side. The latter deaths were from weakness, while the former were attribu- table to weakness, convulsive attacks, or oedema of the brain and membranes. To this cheerful record is added five who were idiots; 5 were so stunted in wth as really to be dwarfs; 5 when older be- came epileptics; one, a boy, grave chorea ending in ldlocx; 5 more were dis- eased and deformed, and 2 of the epileptics became by inheritance drinkers.

FRUSTRATED BY ACCIDENT. Tuscarora Too Keen For Arizona in the “Lost Mine” Speculation. Possibly the best planned and most in- genious attempt to work the gold-brick swindle was foiled a few days ago by the absence of one link in the chain. The con- spiracy from beginning to end was ar- ranged with surpassing care and intelli- gence. At the very moment of its con- summation it broke down, and its failure was almost the result of an unforeseen | accident. Aleck Primo is a French Canadian, and | has been for years a successful miner in Tuscarora. He is a man well to do, a good miner and possessed of more than ordinary shrewdness. Some days ago Mr. Primo was approached in Tuscarora by a mild, | honest-looking individual, who wore the | appearance of a prospector, one who had spert his best years out of doors. “Is your name Primo?” asked the stranger. “Yes; that's my name,’’ said Mr. Primo. A look of blank disappointment came over the face of the stranger. ‘I have made a big mistake,” he said. “I came up here all the way from Tucson to look up my old Eard, Primo, and now I see you are not the man.” | The discomfiture of the man was so genuine that Mr. Primo_pitied him and asked him to his house. But he refused to | be comforted. He had left his Arizona artner in Tucson while he looked up ;rimo, and he had failed after all. There was nothing for him to do but to return at once. That evening he disclosed the object in seeing his ancient cc_apanion. e had got the secret of a mine called ‘“the Lost Mine,” in_the mountains in Arizona, and he wanted Primo-the Primo he expected to find—to help him out in securing it. An old Mexican woman who used to get occasional nuggets of gold from it and who had kept the secret of its locality for years locked up in her breast, believing that she was going to die, had told it to her son. He was sick, too, and Dick Williams, his } Arizona pard, and himself had at last wormed it out of him. The Mexican was then in Sacramento, and he had promised to join him there as soon as he had seen Primo. But Dick would be a sad man when he heard of his mistake. Mr. Primo quite unsuspectingly offered the Arizona man the hospitality of his home, and became that evening interested in the story of the lost mine. The Mexi- can had a gold brick from that mine—at least the Arizona man believed it to be gold, but it was not assayed. The greaser was hard up, and he felt sure that he would sell this treasure for much less than its actual value. He (Tom) would buy it from him, but if Mr. Primo, who somehow reminded him of his old chum, would take it and stand_in with them on the big mine, why the offer was open to him. At this Primo got a bit suspicious. but when Tom showed him a clipping from an AriznnnJ)a er which told about the lost mine and also stated that Tom was about to journey to Tuscarora to hunt up his old pard Primo, he began to think that this ‘was “‘straight business’” after all. Still he resolved mmfroceed with his eyes open. He consented to go with Tom to Sacra- mento and see the Mexican. During -those interviews the Arizona man showed that he had plenty of ready money, and when, the next morning, he drew out his wallet to buy his ticket Primo perceived that it was well filled with gold. Arrived at Sacramento, Tom took Primo to a lonely spot on the banksof the Ameri- can River, where they were to meet the Mexican. After a lot of mysterious signal- ing a dirty, sick-looking Californian came out of the prush with a bundle under his arm. He held a whispered conference with Tom, who came back with the brick and told Primo that the Mexican would trust him with it to have it assayed. On their return to the city Tom proposed that they see a jeweler and get his opinion on the brick, which cerminlfv had the ap- pearance of being solid gold. He went into the first shop he came to, and re- turned, stating that the jeweler could not assay it, but he had told him that there was a United States assayer stopping at one of the hotels. And here occurred one of the most in- genious stages of the conspiracy. When they entered the hotel the clerk replied to Tom’s inquiries about the assayer and pointed out a quiet, well dressed man who was looking out the window. He, said the clerk, had come there a few days ago and told them that he was a United States assayer from ‘Philadelphia, traveling in California for his health. He cheerfully offered to assay the brick for them and borrowed a brace and bit. He bored into it and pronounced it gold. This assured Primo that there was no deception in the business. The turning up of the assayer, who was an accomplice, and who made the hotel clerk an uncon- scious one, convinced him that the Ari- zona miner's tale was true, and that he was just what he represented himself. So he consented to go to San Francisco with him, buy the brick, and let the Mexican take them. to the Lost Mine. He was saved by one bit of caution. When they got to this City, Primo propesed before paying the money to have another assay made. The Arizonian did not think 1t necessary. He had returned the brick to the Mexican, who was ready to hand it back as soon as he got the money, which was about $3800. But Primo insisted, and his comrnnion saw there was no help for it. **All right,” he said; *T'll go and find the Mexican.” He put on his hat and departed and that was the last Mr. Primo saw of him or the Mexican. He had failed at the last mo- ment. The San Francicco assay would have spoiled the whole business and Primo congratulated himself on his escape. The notice in the Arizona ngers, the nhkin%out of the assayer and the Mexi- can and the dramatic art with which the entire plot was conceived and executed to the minute of its collapse form a chapter in the history of the gold-brick swindles which has no parallel. For thirty years the Royal has been the standard for purity and strength in baking wders, and has been placed at the head y every board of official examiners, whether State or National. CHAMPIONS OF THE RING. Fights That May Be Held in Texas ‘When Corbett and Fitzsim- - mons Meet. will also meet in Dallas some evening dur- ing the week in which Corbett ang Fitz- simmons will settle their fistic dispute. It will therefcre be seen that a great pro- gramme of fistic sport is being arranged and that the championships of the world between the famous feather, light and heavy weight pugilists will be decided. In'case George Dixon cannot manage to get to the feather-weight line his place can be readily filled by Anthony, the little chunky Australian, who easily whipped Mahoney at the Colma Club a few evenings :‘ED' Anthony is only too anxious to meet the best man among the feathers. It is said_that the next steamer from Australia will land a fighter here named Tat Rvan, who is reported as being g won- derful heavy-weight. He may be matched against Joe McAuliffe, Barney Farley's champion, for a twenty-round contest, and if he should whip the Mission wonder he may safely go East and challenge the win- ner of the Corbett and Fitzsimmons battle. Farley says that McAuliffe has improved so much since he whipped Professor Bergen that he will surprise everybody when he will next appear in the ring. ———————— OORRIGAN AND HANKINS. The Latter Denies That There Has Been a Split. The reported split between Ed Corrigan and George V. Hankins, the well-known turfmen, contained in a dispatch from Chicago yesterday, created some interest in local turf circles for several hours. It made the prettiest kind of a story, but that was all. It was not true in any detail, and now local turfites interested in the coming battle between the Bay District and the new track are wondering who “‘doped’’ the dispatch. The comit{, the special had it, hereto- fore existing between Hankins and Corri- an had been ruptured, the former declar- ing as a reason that Corrigan had retained sfi.ooo of the fund poolecf for racing pur- ses. A. M. Allen, who is building the new track, doubted the report in the dispatch. To satisfy himself in the matter, he at once telegraphed Hankins asking him if the report was true. Lasteveninghe re- ceived a telegram which settled the whole matter. It was signed George V. Hankins, and simply stated: “It is not so.” Now zEe racing world can breathe easier fora while at least.

At that time an order was issued rescind- ing the passes then out, 1ssuing an edict at the same time that these ladies must in future pay their faresor walk. In Aprl last Rev. Drs. Hirst and_Dille calied on Manager Vining to see if some arrange- ment could not be effected by which the deaconesses would be allowed to ride free. The point was made that the sisters of the Catholic church were not called upon to pay their passage, and there was no reason why other ladies engaged in benevolent work should be called upon vo do so. Manager Vining refused at first to listen to any protest, saying that nuns did not ride on passes, but on their dress, and that | the dress of deaconesses was not distinc- tive enough. It-was then reported thata badge would be given deaconesses, which would allow them the privileges of the road iree of cost. All they had to do was to display the badge. It turns out, however, that badges have | never been given the ladies. Manager Vining is now in the East, but an inquiry at his office yesterday disclosed the fact that the Market-street Company never had the slightest intention of issuing badges to the lagies, though they were led to expect such courtesy at one time, “The only people given badges,” said Mr. Vining’s chief clerk yesterday, ‘‘are regular em- §loyes of the road. It is not probable that adges will now cr at any other time be issued to ladies.” ROUGH ON THE OYOLIST. How a Practical Joker Made a Mess. of Trouble. " An elaborate practical joke has been playeh on a Belgian cyclist. While taking his usual afternoon ride along the central boulevard of Brussels he entered one of the cafes for some refreshments, leaving his machine against a lamp-post, says an exchange. A joker seated outside on a terrace pinned his trousers in the orthodox cy- clist’s style, as if he were a genuine bicy- clist, and, taking hold of the machine as if he had just dismounted, halted one of those long white-bloused street commis- sioners to be met with at nearly every street corner in Brussels. “My man, just you look after my bi- cycle and see that no one takes it during my absence, for there are so many bicycle thieves about the city you cannot be too careful, so keep a sharp lookout and here’s a franc for your trouble.’” ‘rhe joker then erossed the road, taking up his post at a cafe opposite to enjoy the result of the franc’s investment. Outcame the unsuspecting victim and taking the machine was about to start. *‘Hold, there, old chappie, we know your measure, so off with vou,” said the while- bloused one, at the same time gently forc- inx the astonished cyclist back. t first he thought the man was drunk, and expostulated quietly with him, but all to no purpose, the trusty guardian simply replying that ‘he knew what he was about.”” Finding persuasion useless, Mr. X——lost his temper, and the discussion soon grew to angry menaces on both sides. Meanwhile a large crowd had assembled, highly amused at the prospects of a pugilistic encounter. The appearance of a policeman put a stop to any fighting, and he took both the belligerents to the station, escorted by an immense crowd of ‘spectators. The unfortunate bicyclist soon recol- lected that he had in his pocket his license, on which was recorded the number of his machine. In consideration of this testi- mony the machine was handed over to the rightful owner. / " It Has No Equal NEW TO-DAY. °.‘\\E.Ils FAIL o 04 YT DOCTOR SWEANY Friend and benefactor of the sick and suffer- ing, whose offices so long .established and favorably known, at 737 Market street, San Francisco, where the sick and aflicted can in the future, as they have in the past, receive treatment from the ablest and most successful specialist of the age.
