He said Ashworth simply wanted the money to pay off old political debts by giving his friends work. Schwartz offered a resolution to the effect that the street sweeping by Mr. Ashworth is not as good as that performed by the Merchants’ Association and approving of having the work done by private contract. ACTOR AND ACTRESS. Loraine Hollis Is After the Scalp of | A. C. Henderson for Non-Fulfill- ment of Contract. Loraine follis, the actress, is after the scalp of A. C. Henderson, the actor. She appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday and told the Judge that she desired to | have Henderson arrested for non-fulfill- | ment of a contract. She had erganized a company, to be Company, to tour the State, and had en- | gaged Henderson for nine weeks at $30 a | week. A contract was drawn up and | signed by her and Henderson, and now Henderson refused to fill the engagement. .

SOUTHSIDE IMPROVEMENTS. Arrangements Being Made for Another Large Mass-Mceting. The Southside Improvement Club met last evening in Irish-American Hall to discuss the Folsom boulevard project in particular and the welfare of the City lying south of Market street in general. G. W.Owen stated that he had called upon the members of the Half-million Club and the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association for the same purpose and had heen pleasantly received. A. B. Maguire, who was appointed to see the Supervisors and request them to appropriate the $30,000 necessary to bituminize Folsom street, reported that Supervisor Scuily’s lmbb{ was the rebuilding of the old City Hall Supervisors Dunker, Spreckels and Mor- genstern were favorably disposed to objects of the club. . Secretary Schwartz stated that the blg mass-meeting that was being arrangec promised to be a grand affair. Later it was decided to hold it on Columbia square, on Folsom street, near Seventh, if possi- ble, and on the first week in September. Mr. Schwartz stated that the bicycle clubs were arranging for a big run to the meet- ion lying southwardly | | who did not approve of it, and Benjamin | tried another tack, with similar success. | The Judge was deeply | estate case that was being heard by him | it drawn up this morning, when she could - ACF SUMMER SCHO0L | equal and unjust privileges now secured by | control wealth production.

When land monopoly and speculation in the natural resources of the earth shall be entirely stopped_all will share the blessings of that meterial progress which increases the power of man to transform the elements of nature to his service. Equality of opportunity, such as the bountiful Creator gave 1o all men, must be restored to them by the withdrawal of all un- law to the few. Until that shall be done the substantial benefits of material progress will g0 to the few who own the sources of sub- sistence and wealth and those who do not own land suitable for their homes and industries will be obiiged to suffer and to perish justin proportion as their services can be dispensed with by those who, by monopoly privileges, Monopoly of the natural resources is the cause of the evils that are falsely ascribed to inventions. Letour wrath then prevail not against the material progress which is in itself ‘beneficent, and which of itself tends constantly’ and everywhere to elevate mankind, to lessen his labor, to increase his leisure time for intel- lectual and moral improvement, but rather against the institution which prevents this great beneficence from extending its blessings 10 all mankind.

Reading Circles of Catholic Parishes Form an Or- ganization. A General Plan for Studies and Government Adopted at the Cathedral. * The first convention of reading circle_s was held last night in the parochial resi- dence of Mary’s Cathedral. A plan of organization and methods of study were adopted, and it was decided to carry the movement into all the parishes. Very Rev. J. J. Prendergast, V. G., pre- sided. Delegates were present as follows from four parish circles: St. Ignatius—E. W. Henderson, J. J. Dignan; 8t. Charles —Thomas F. Bannerman, Paul B. Hay; St. Mary’s Cathedral—Miss Agnes Regan, Miss Monihaa, Miss Barry; St. Peter's— Miss Madden, Miss Lorigan. The other | circles were requested to send representa- | tives at a meeting to be bheld on the first Monday in’ September in the cathedral hall. Paul B. Hay was elected secretary. * Resolutions as follows were unanimously adopted : Resolned, That the various circles shall be lef: free 10 pursue such courses of study as they may severally be disposed to adopt. Resolved, That this organization of reading circles shall be known under the name of the | Pacific Summer School. | Resolved, That inasmuch as the public session of ihe reading circles held in the cathedral last April proved eminently satisfactory alike to the circles presentand thejr many friends we { regard that meeting as the birth of the Pacific | Summer Sehool. Resolved, That in 1896 sessions of the Pacific Summer School on » larger and more compre- nsive scale be held in this City in a public | hall immediately after Easter, at d ti | hereafter determined by the executive commit- tee. Resolved, That with a view of attaining more fully to the objects of the summer scnool, tal- entéd people ouiside the membership be invited to lecture, Resolved, That the programmes of sessions of the summer school shall comprise contribu- | tions alike from the circles generally, the pro- grammes to be in the hands of the executive | committee. All the leading circles in this City will send representatives to the executive com- mittee meeting on the first Monday of Sep- tember. THE WORTHINGTON CASE. The Jury Is Locked Up All Night for Deliberation Over the Evidence. The arguments in the third trial of Mrs. ‘Worthington were concluded at 3:45 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Judge Wallace oc- cupied about half an hour in reading his charge to the jury and then the case was submitted. No verdict had been reached at 6 o'clock, and then the jury was locked up for the night by order of Judge Wallace. —————— Arrested for Burglary. Joseph Wilson entered the room of Charles Benjamin in a lodging-house at the corner of Third and Hunt streets last evening and stole ing on their wheels, if they can get there withont bursting their tires and ruining their wheels. G. W. Curtin suggested that at the mass- meeting a memorial be adopted requesting the Supervisors to appropriate the money desired. I Schwartz, G. W. Curtin and two shirts, a hat and a pair of euff buttons. He was arrested with the stolen property on his perscn and booked for burglary. As he obtained entrance to the room by means of a skeleton key, which was found upon him, a second charge of having burglar's tools in his ‘possession was also fil | illustrates pre-eminent and honorable place, and her po- sition in this respect is very’ xnrgfely due to the stimulus and encouragement %ven to inven- tive genius by the Mechanics’ Institute of San Francisco. Let us hope that this great institution may continue to maintain the enviable distinction t0 which it has attained, and that its power for good may be constantly sugmented by con- tinued end increasing popular recognition and support. Following Judge Maguire's address the orchestra rendered a suite from the inci- dental music to *‘Peer Gynt,” the Knicker- bocker male quartet sang a few selections and the Lyra Zither Club oijoung ladies the capabilities of that instru- ment. Miss Freda Gallick, a charming debu- tante,“whose first public appearance was with the Frawley company recently in “Nancy and Company,” then recited. Her selection was the difficult “‘Oh, sir,” and she rendered it with a graceful naivete and ingenuousness which captured her audience and won her much applause. The *‘Festival Overture’ by the orchestra clesed the exercises. THE PAVILION. Scenes on the First Night—Many of the Ex- hibitors Not Ready. Early last evening the Pavilion was lighted up, and when the doors were opened at half-past 7 o'clock the Mechanics’ Fair was formally opened. As at previous openings the majority of ex- hibitors were not ready to display what they desire the visitors to see. A noticeable change strikes the eye on entering the big building. It is the ab- sence of tricolored decorations thatin the past hung from the gallery rail, and in place there is presented a gallery of pure white, which is a welcome change. There has been_a change in the floor ar- rangements of the exhibits which will be appreciated by the visitors. i The gum girl is on hand of course, and | she is one of the first whose voice is heard offering her wares, “five a package.” That is there are two of them, one dressed in a white bicycle suit, and the otherina blue one. The managers have wisely placed them behind the rails of one of the booths. They make a pretty exhibit, and are not in the way. Scheel’s band, on the music-stand in the center of the Pavilion,; played the inaug- ural march at 8 o’clock and’ this, the first number, was loudly applauded by the sev- eral hundred who had by that time as- sembled. Before the first part of the pro- gramme had been brought to a close there were more than 1500 people in the vast building. At times’the beautiful effects of the music was marred by hammering by mechanics who were putting up booths or decorating, The aquarium is in the same location that it was at the last exhibit, but all the tanks were not filled and only in two were there any specimens of inbabitants of the vasty- deep or of the mountain lakes and streams, but they will get there by and by. The annex gives evidence that there will be a show there, but 1t is impossible at this time to determine what the exhibits will be. One of the first who was ready for busi- ness was the soap man, who, to show the wonderful power of his ware, exhibited an ingenious contrivance by which a porcelain baby goes down one side of a tube black and comes up on the other side of the tube perfectly white. In machinery hall at the western end of the building there were a number of men setting mining machinery and pumps and the visitors were thus afforded an op- portunity of witnessing how the various parts are put together, something they will miss when the machinery is in run- ning order. 5 - The galleries u%ntllrl are still in a state of confusion, although a few exhibitors have a sufficient display to be attractive. Rival bicycle-dealers make a good show of wheels. The young literary talent of the State is represented by an exhibit of the ublications of the Golden State Amateur ress Association, a very creditable dis- play of small papers. Under a striking sign, “Home Industry,” the Newark Stove Factory, which has been in operation for ten years, makes its first public display of what California workmen can do in that line. There are some %ood displays of furniture and the Colum! ‘t‘h Wg:}len Mills occupies a large corner in the ery, not far hsnn where the California Silk Mills workmen were adjusting a loom. The art department, which is under the supervision of Solly Walters, is still in the hands of artisans, who are putting finish- ing touches on booths and are hanging pictures. Until all the works of the artists are in the places assigned them it would not be fair to speak of the display asa whole. Among the pictures there is a por- trait of Captain Morse and one of J. Ham- ilton, by J. D. Strong; “‘Sunset at Shoal- water Bay,” by Bert; ““A Cluster of Roses,” Nellie E. Burrell; “‘Roses,” bsy Alice B. Chittenden; “Midwinter Fair Scene,” by A.F. Mathews; “Spring” and “Presidio Marsh,” hy Amadee Joullin; “Bois de Boulogne,” by Garvani; “Marguerite,” by Marie Martinetti; ‘‘Flower Girls of Genoa,” by Pennalesilfea, that was on exhibition at Milan in 1891; “‘Gir® Watering Flowers,"” by Henry Raschen; ‘‘Countess Noble, a Dog,’” by Mrs. A. De Wait Payne. On_the ground floor there is a pretty temple of soap, a splendid dlsp]ai of borax in columns and slabe, another home industry; Ghirardelli’s chocolate factoryin operation; the Fisher Company’s exhibit OFCnlitomia fruits and vegetables, in glass and in tin. When the displays are all in place, the chairs placed around the band- stand and the machinery in running order, the fair will be an attractive place in which to spend an afternoon or evening. The system of season tickets is similar FAIR. to that used on previous occasions, but this year they are not punched, which ayoids delay at the door. 2 The following is the musical programme for to-day: March, “Golden Gate Park Overture, “Undine".

He Wil Preach His Initlatory Sermon on the 14th of September. Out of more than thirty applications re- ceived by the trustees of the Congrega- tion Ohabai Shalome in response to their advertisement for a rabbi for their new synagogue, now in course of erection on Bush street, near Laguna, that of Julius Fryer of Cleveland has been favorably con- sidered, after negotiations that have ex- tended over several weeks and have been carried on by mail and wire. Rabbi Fryer is a graduate of the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati, having re- ceived his diploma but three years ago. A. Altmayer, president of the congrega- tion, received the telegram yesterday after- noon which assured the coming of the new rabbi. Speaking of the prospective | newcomer, Mr. Altmayer said: “The reuson we decided upon the selec- tion of Rabbi Fryer out of the thirty or more applications that we have received from all parts of the world is that he was highly recominended by Rabbi Macohl of C]eve{and, who was recently on a visit in this City, and the further fact that heis an American, having been born, if I re- member rightly, in Cleveland. We be- lieve that our people will be better suited by a native of the country than by a for- elgner. ““Rabbi Fryer is about 26 or 27 years of age and very conservative in his religious views, thus being in entire accord with the congregation. From his letters I learn that be has for the past two vears offi- ciated as the rabbi of a congregation at Meridian, Miss., and that he resigned on the advice of bis physician, as the climate there did not agree with him. ‘“We expect him to arrive about the 8th of September. He will preach his initia- tory sermon on Saturday, September 14, and on the 15th the new synagogue will be dedicated and Rabbi Fryer installed. “According to the arrangements made by the trustees he is to officiate during the fren holidays, beginning with Rosh Hos- honah, or New Year. on the evening of September 18. Should his services during this period prove satisfactory the officers of the congregation, whose annual meet- ing will be held on the 15th of October, will then elect him for a year, or such other period as may be mutually agreed upon, at a salary of $2400 per annum. “Rabbi Macohl spoke very highly of Rabbi Fryer, both as to his abi ni as a lec- turer and as an interpreter of the divine law. He is reputed to be very eloquent and to have a most attractive personality, and we hope through his efforts to attract more of the i{ounger eneration to our con- gregation. He will be the youngest rabbi who has ever officiated in this City.” Seats for the new synagogue will be ob- tainable at the edifice on Sunday next. To Go to Rome. The Italian Colony held a mass-meeting last night at Garibaldi Hall, at 23 Broadway, to elect representatives to attend the celebration at Rome on the 20th of September. Those elected were J. F. Fugazi, general agent of the Paciic Cozat, and G. C, Zune of 5 Montgomery stree: 5 IN FIELD AND ORCHARD. Epitome of Topics of Interest to Farmer and Fruit- Grower. LESSONS FROM EXPERIENCE. Conditlon of Crops In California and Sister States—Poultry-Yard Plckings. Reports are floating about that some wineries are offering from $12 to $15 for grapes, and they are absolutely false, says the Healdsburg Tribune. So far as can be ascertained there has not been a contract made this year at any more than $11, and it seems improbable that there will be any advance much above this figure. ‘Where phylloxera gets a foothold in a vineyard, however small the foothold, it can hardly be effectually eradicated, says Tree and Vine, but its effect can be re- tarded, and a full opportunity given to replace the vines with resistant stock, by promptly removing and burning all vines which show the least effect. Vines taken out now can be replaced with a resistant late next spring, but it would probably be better to wait another season. At Jack Wilson’s place, in old Carpin- teria, is probably the largest grapevine in the world—considerably larger than the famous Montecito vine. The vine is of the Mission variety, and is known to have been a big vine fifty-three years ago. It measures around the trunk in different places six and seven feet respectively. It runs over a trellis 90x75 feet, at the limits of which it is kept earefully cut back. The product of this single vine is five to six tons a year.—Ojai, Nordhoff, Ventura County. The hop crop is discouraging for this year, says the Ukiah Dispatch and Demo- crat. There will only be from one-half to two-thirds of a crop and the prices are so low that a great many of the growers do not feel inclined to pick them. Usually when a fall crop is picked it means the dis- tribution of about $50,000 for the pickers in this valley. The short crop and those that will not be picked will lower the amount to $25,000 or under. This will be especially felt here. Although the crop is short the hops are of extra quality. On a certain town lot in Redlandsisa cow which cost $75, a yearling heifer worth $30 and seventy-five thoroughbred hens worth equally as much. During the past year the cost of keeping the stock has been $145. During the same time the family has consumed eggs, chickens and niilk of a value of §170, or $25 more than the cost of keeping. The heifer has grown to a value of $30, milk to the value of $264 and eggs and chickens to the value of $146 have been sold, giving as pay for the care of the stock for one vear $465. Considering that this is the product of a town lot, anu is simply the “side issue” of a busy family, we think it speaks well of the profit of keeping a first-class cow and thoroughbred chickens, and no man hasa right to expect big profit from any other kind of stock.—Redland Facts. The New York Sun, commenting on a statement by the Governor of Wisconsin that his State contains 25,000,000 acres of unoccupied and unimproved land, says that it is a fact that no one knows exactly how much unoccupied land there is in the United States. All the figures on the sub- j[ect. are conjectural. There are in the Jnited States 1,000,000,000 acres of sur- veyed public lands and about 1,000,000,000 acres of unsurveyed, undeveloped and In- dian lands and reservations. The greater fisrt of the mountainous region of the ockies has never been accurately sur- veyed, and recent figures from the State of Nevada show the unsurveyed portion to be in excess of the surveyed part by over 6,000,000 acres. 1in California, too, there is a very large amount of unsurveyed land, and in all of the Territories millions of acres of the same kina. Elton Fulmer, professor of chemistry of the State Agricultural College of Washing- ton, who has recently been investigating the beet-sugar industry of California, de- clares that the whole product of the island of Formosa would not supply one-haif of his State with sugar, and that the sugar- cane growers in the South, through their journals, admit that they cannot compete with beet sugar and that they are afraid of it. The German sugar-beet producers were so frightened last year that they senta representative to this country to look into affairs here, and in his report he stated that we were outdoing them, and that while their labor was slightly cheaper the Americans were doing 50 per cent more work to the man, and that in their country land was worth from $200 to $600 an acre, while in this country it could be had easily at from $25 to $40, and that altogether America has decidedly the best of them in production and cheapness. The quality, too, is better than theirs, and the beets of this country better and larger. Preparing Honey for Market. There is no business that should have more care and taste displayed in preparing the product for markes than tbe bee busi- ness. Comb honey should be nicely cleaned of all prepolis that may be attached to the section frames and the honey carefully graded, being sure not to pack white and dark honey in the same case. In extract- ing honey many beemen extract it before it is sealed up. Now this is a great mis- take, as honey to keep well and have a good flavor should have a chance to be properly cured in the hive, and should be nearly ali sealed over before it is extracted ; then it should be put in new cans and new cases, never using old cans or cases.—C. A. McDongal, at Escondido Farmers’ Insti- tute. A Pest of the Northwest. War has been declared by the Spokane County Commissioners against the Chi- nese thistle or lettuce, which has recently invaded this community and threatens the destructions of the fields, says the Spokane Spokesman Review. The thistle is easily recognized at any stage of growth by its coarse leaves, with sawteeth fringe and tough stalk, emitting a sickening odor when cut, and a slight flow of milk or juice. The great danger is that the weed will become so prolific in the fields as to ren- der harvesting and thrashing almost im- ossible. The stalks, with their tough Exm, wind about the cylinders of the ma- chines and with the aid of the sap, which assumes a gummy form, clog the wheels and put a stop to all operations. The aphis and other pests that infest the orchards have not occasioned one-half the consternation that has spread over the | country by the discovery of this villainous species of vegetation. Its means of migration, when once it ob- tains a focthold, are uncontrollable. It blooms in one day and the seeds are ri the next. The blossom is a cottony sul stance and floats away with the wind, carrying the seed withit and transplant- ing it miles away. The Commissioners deem it the duty of all officials and patriotic citizens in gen- eral to beat down the ugly weed wherever it is found, and if possible destroy the roots. . New Bordeaux Mixture. An improvement in the formula for making Bordeaux mixture was first sug- gested at a meeting of the National Agri- cultural Society of France, and was de- signed to remove certain objections to the use of the old mixture. It has the advan- tage over that famous mixture in being less injurious to foliage, less liable to be washed away by rains, and less liable to choke the nozzle of the spraying machine. The formula is as follow: Quicklime.. .41bs. 6 oz8. Sulphate of copper 41bs. 6 ozs. Molasses. . 6 ozs. Water. .22 gallons. The essential difference between the new and old formula is the presence of the mo- lasses, which has a greater influence than would at first be suspected. The J)reucription as given by M. Perret is to add the molasses to thirteen gallons of water, then slack the lime and add four and a half gallons of water to form milk of lime. Pour this slowlv into the sweetened water, stirring briskly, in order to mix in- timately. Next, in the third wooden vessel dissolve the bluestone and pour this into the previous mixture, stirring well. In this blending of materials chemical changes are taking place. When the milk of lime and sweetened solution are intimately mixed together, then saccharate of lime is formed. Next, when to this is added the solution of sulphate of copper, a double decomposition takes place. Sulphate of lime is formed on the one and soluble sac- charate of copper on the other. This sac- charate of copper is only formed in pres- enge of an excess of lime, and its forma- tion is indicated by the mixture assuming a beautiful greenish tinge. Thus thg mix- ture is rendered alkaline, the acid "being neutralized by the lime. Aeration of milk tends to drive out any bad oaors that have been absorbed and to lessen the taste and smell resulting from such improper food as onions, etc. But aeration 1n itself has little effect on the keeping quality of the milk or on the effect of creaming. However, as aeration is mmnltliy attended by a cooling of the milk, the effect is to retard creaming if the cream is raised by setting in pans or cans in a creamer, Milk shipped to market is benefited by being thoroughly aerated. The following recommendation of the Ontario Agricultural College is the result of two trials of feeding wheat to milch cows. The ration isfour pounds of ground wheat, four pounds of wheat bran, six Pounds of hay and fifty pounds of silage. “We would recommend dairymen to try a ration of wheat and bran, or wheat and oats, during the winter, and if it is fed to the right kind: of cows, and the product handled properly, we feel confident that it will pay better than selling wheat at late prices.” The secretary of the New Hampshire State Board of Agriculture reports that the law of that State which requires all imitation dairy products to be colored pink “has stood the test of the courts’ and is in active and successful operation, the sale of bogus butter being now ‘“mainly confined to lumber-camps in the northern section, and this will soon be suppressed.’”” A more recent act, making the solicita- tion of orders for these fraudulent goods as illegal as their direct sale has added greatly in the good work of Erotecting the public from imposition. *The board,” he says, “recognizes the benefits derived by would-be consumers of honest dairy products from the law, and expects to continue active in its enforcement.”” A. Lowe of San Francisco is here work- ing up a creamery enterprise, says the Bakersfield Californian. His efforts in this direction are being put forth among the small dairymen south of the town, in Canfield and Old River neighborhoods. The plant is to cost, according to his estimates, $6950, and will be of 1500 cows’ capacity. The building is to be 32x64 feet, with an addition 15x24 and a covered driveway 10x18. It is proposed to estab- lish it on the co-operative plan. Already $3350 has been promised. Where it will be located has not been decided upon yet, but it will perhaps be situated in one of the neighborhoods mentioned vrovided it is a go. Mr. Lowe is an experienced dairy and creamery man and knows how to talk up the advantagesof such an en- terprise. A poultry establishment costing over $8000, says the Baltimore Sun, has just been completed av Uplands, the country place of Robert Garrett. The buildings were all constructed under the direct super- vision' of Robert Garrett, who, like many ladies in this country and England, has be- come intensely interested in poultry cul- ture. The poultry-house is all under one roof and is over 250 feet long. It has three tur- ret towers, one at each end and one in_the center. One of the towers will be used for choice fowls, a pigeon-loft being in the second story. The feed will be kept in the other end tower. A reception-room, well furnished and equipped with a library of poultry literature, occupies the first story of the center tower, the second story being the bedroom of the poultry- keeper. On the right of the center tower are accommodations for brooding 2000 “broilers’” at one time. ‘Brooders” are devices for providing warmth for artifi- cially hatched chickens, arranged so that the chickens may run in and out at will. There are also outside yards in which the chickens may exercise and obtain fresh air. Compartments of brooding-pens of thor- oughbred poultry stock are on the left of the center tower. The house is constructed | of wood and the floors are all of cement. A heavy brick ornamented structure for the incubators is in the rear of the poultry- house. As soon as the young chicks are well dried after emerging from the eggs they are taken from the incuvator and in lots of 100 are putin the brooder apart- ments. A building especially arranged for fat- tenms, killing and dressing poultry is con- nected with theestablishment. Ducksand turkeys have a separate house in the rear of the main building. The trouble with these costly houses is that the hens get so high toned that they retire from business, lead listless lives, and finally die of disease or inaction. Mean- while the hens in ordidary houses, who have to scratch around for a living, kee; right at work supplying the country wicg eggs and chickens.
