Four Belligerent Passengers, Whose Tickets Were Confiscated, Hurled Off a Southern Pacific Express. J. Morgan, 8. Baily, W. Byrne and G. W. Reid, who were traveling from this City to Los Angeles on tickets from Chicago last Sunday, were hurled off the tram at Saugus as the inspector concluded that their tickels were not genuine. They were asked at Bakersfield to sign their names on slips of paper, and accord- ing to the inspector’s story these signatures ART CLASS AT GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL, IN CHARGE OF PROFESSOR GOLDSTONE, [From a photograph by Taber.)

From a telegram received by Thomas H Williams Jr. yesterday “Counsellor” Bill Breen, one of the Santa Anita stable trainers, must again be in hot water. The New York Jockey Club wired asking for full particulars of the trouble that led the California Jockey Club to year ago. Denny Lynch of the Arizona stable, tired of seeing The Judge devour oats by the quart without winning a race, and “Moose” Taylor, who often wished Colonel Jack Chinn had never brought Red Will across the Rockies, concluded yesterday to swap horses. Red Will finished third yesterday, and so far Denny had the best of the bargain. Colonel Zeke Abrahams thought very well of his filly, City Girl, and advised his friends to take a chance. The filly’s previous race was a poor one, and that of yesterday was but & slight improvement. She did not look well issuing from the paddock, and her race plainly showed she was “‘off.”” Some weeks ago Zeke had quite a promising string of horses, but misfortune seems to be hovering over them of late. Conde displayed his abilities as a kicker yesterday, with disastrous results for Jockey Peoples, who had the mount on Uncle Giles. The accident occurred while the horses were at the post in the opening race, a five-furlong dash with a field of eleven starters. While lining up at the vost the boy pulled his mount over a bit too close to suit Conde, and the chestnut elevated his heels, one of them striking Peovles on the right leg below the knee, fracturing the bone, which will necessitate his absence from the saddle for some | weeks to come. He was replaced in the saddle by E. Hill. That good filly Belle Boyd was the only favorite to win during the day, and the bookmakers undoubtedly experienced a | very profitable day. The big surprise of the day’s racing was the defeat of Hearts- | ease, the 1 to 4 favorite for the third race. Liberal scratching reduced the number of starters in the o{:ening race to eleven, and Corrinne Buckingham was made the favorite,with 13 to 5 her closing quotation. The Powhattan mare was never in it from the jump. Conde and Red Will, both well fancied in the betting, apparently had the race between them, when Mary 8, a 15 to 1 shot, passed them in the last fifty yards and won by a length. Conde beat” Red Will out a head for the place. The time for the five furlongs was slow—1:0214. The 6 to 5 favorite, Belle Boyd, carried off the honors in the next race, a tive and a half furlong spin for two-year-olds, though not without a tussle with Card- well, The outsider led the favorite until a sixteenth from the wire, where she col- lared and passed him, winning cleverly by a length In 1:08%. Josephine finished a fair third. ‘With Heartsease a grohibitive choice the coin played in on the third race, another five-and-a-half-furlong run, was principally on a place horse, wkich was divided be- tween Mountain Air and Crawford, the former receiving the largest proportion. The favorite was never able to open up much of a gap of daylight between herself and the field, and when it came to a drive the last furlong she was beaten out a neck by Crawford, who bad eights about him in the betting. Mountain Air apparently fin- ished a nose in front of the favorite, but was placed third. Although the Westchester stable’s repre- sentative, Fred Gardner, had shown him- self no adept at the sprinting distances, he was backed down from twos to a 6 to 5 choice for the next race, over six and a half furlongs. Charmion was a decided!: strong second choice, with Royal FlusK next in demand. The others were but lightly considered.

MINERAL LANDS DISPUTE, An Effort Being Made to Have It Settled in a Friendly Way. Southern Pacific’s Proposition to Have a Joint Inspection Accepted. Attorney John M. Wright, one of ths members of the mineral lands committee of the California Miners' Association, per- sonally informed Land Agent W. H. Mills of the Southern Pacific in writing yester- day of the appointment recently by the Miners’ Association of a committee to act jointly with a similar committe from the Southern Pacific in an endeavor to settle, amicably and satisfactorily if possible, the mineral lands controversy. An answer is now awaited from Mr. Mills. The communication tells its own story as follows: Mr. W. H. Mills, Office Southern Pacific Com- pany, San Francisco, Cal.—DEAR SIR: I have Teceived from J.J. Crawford, State Mineralo- ist, & communication of which the following s 8 cOpy: SaN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 17, 1895. BMr. John M. Wright—DEAR S1r: In reply to your inquiry of this date I will state: About two teeks prior to June 6 last 1 visited the office of the Southern Pacific Company n this City and held an interview with W. H. Mills, and I think Mr. Singer was also present. 1 suggested .to Mr. Mills that it was desirable that some sort of agreement should be reached between the Miners’ Association and the railro; company, and that a stop should be put to th and cry which the valley press was against the miners. After considerable discussion Mr. Mij roposed that the railroad compan Bincers' Assoclation should each selecya commis. sioner: that the rallroad company would furnish transportation for the two commissioners to the different points throughout the State which they might desire to visit; and that the two commis- sioners should joinily act in determining the min- eral or non-mineral character of what are kuown as the “unpatented raliroad lands" throughout the State. Mr. Mills stated that the railroad company would abide by the decision of the commissioners selected in this manner and would file relinquish- ments to the Government of its claims against any and all lands determined by such commission to be mineral land. Yourstruly J.J. CRAWFORD. The subject matter of the above-quoted letter was stated by Mr. Crawiord to the executive committee of the California Miners' Associa- tion at its meeting held in the Maple Room of the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on or about June 6, 1895. The committee took no definite action re- garding the matter at that time, for the reason that your proposition stated by Mr. Crawford had not been reduced to writing. \ Said committee &t its meeting Held on Friday, August 9, 1895, however, in- structed the association’s committee on mineral lands to communicate with your com- pany and with yourself as its representative, with the view of ascertaining definitely whether some such arrangement as that pro- posed by you in your conversation with Mr. Crawtord can be reached between your com- pany and the California Miners’ Association. It is with this view, and in pursuance of said instructions, that, as & member of said mineral lands committee, and at its request, and at the request of A. H. Ricketts, its chairman, I now write you. Seid mineral lands committee is composed of A. H. Ricketts, E. C. Loftus, C. ¥. Hoffman, Charles G. Yale and John M. Wright. At the last above-named meeting of the executive committee Hon. J. H. Neff, president of the as- sociation, was specially authorized to act with said committee for the purposes indicated by this letter. Your early answer is respectfully requested. Yours very truly, JOHN M. WRIGHT. THE PRESS ASSOCIATION. Country Editors Discuss Excursions to Atlanta and Sacramento. At a meeting of the executive committee of the California Press Association held in the Occidental Hotel Monday evening it was decided to accept the invitation to at- tend the Electric Carnival to be held in Sacramento. The offer of Supreme Court Clerk H. A. McCraney to make the press mion soon showed in front, but had enough before the head for home was reached and gaye way to Royal Flush, who maintained his advantage and won very handfl{ by two lengths. In a hard drive, Hinrichs on the outsider, Warrago, outfin- ished Chevalier on the favorite, taking sec- ond place by a short head. Little Bob certainly looked the best of the poor lot in the lastrace, a mile dash, and was made a7 to 10 favorite. In a har headquarters in the Capitol building was also accepted. The question of making up a press excursion to visit the exposi- tion at Atlanta was discussed, but nothing was decided upon. A committee con- sisting of C. ¥. Montgomery, J. T. Daniels and E. B. Willis was appointed to see if the association’s funds would warrant an excursion and if special rates could be ob- tained froi the railroads, - THE CALIFORNIA RANCHES, Lemon-Growers Seem to Be Exalting Over Producers of the Orange. PROFITS IN GARDEN TRUCK. Peach Crop Round Selma—The In- creasing Demand for Nour= ing Frult. The Department of Agriculture at Wash- ington has received samples of corn from Peru with grains four times the size of the ordinary ]%ind. It is very prolific and bears very large ears. The species is dis- tinet from any known in North America, and the name ‘‘tea amylacea” has been given to it. . A resident on Bank street, in this city, says the Grass Valley Tidings, finds that his house is being made a hive of industry. A swarm of bees alighted on his woodpile, and since then the industrious insects have begun storing up honey in the walls of his cabin between the weather-boarding and the ceiling. They enter by a cavity be- neath the baseboard, and come and go just as they would were it a veritable beehive. The orange seems to be taking a back seat to the lemon as a Southern California product for market. A number of the oldest orchardists in this section, says the National City Record, are cutting out orange stock and budding to lemon, so un- profitable seems the former fruit and the outlook appearing so promising for the latter. The cured product is not so easily obtainable. Lemon growers are for the present on the top of the market and are proportionately happy. J. M. Moss, who has a ranch a mile or two south of town, is selling some peaches which are about as near perfect as such {ruit can be, says the Bakersfield Califor- nian. They are of the Muir variety, and are large, fine looking and luscious. Many of them average fourteen ounces to a pound in weight.- The trees which produce this fruit were only planted two years ago this spring, yet from some 300 of them he will ather upward of five tons of choice fruit. Some of the trees actually measure 21 inches in circumference at a foot or two from the ground, and all are fine examples of growth. Mr. Moss believes in thorough cultivation, aided by irrigation, and the result is that he has a model orchard, just as the fruit he is selling1s a model of what it should be. J. M. Main, whose place is about seven miles out on the Los Gatos road, thinks he has no reason to complain of his condition this season, says the San Jose Mercury. He has fifteen acres, on which he has 7000 vines, while the remainder is planted to prunes, peaches and apricots. From sixty apricot trees he got six tons of fruit, being an average of 200 pounds to the tree. He sold them for $30 per ton, which brought him $180 from a little more than half an acre. He sold his prunes for $30 per ton and is drying his peaches. Mr. Main is one of the many who have found fruit- growing profitable. Twelve years ago he went into that neighborhood with only $20 in his possession. From the proceeds of his fifteen acres he has paid for the place, put up his buildings and made a living for himself and family. It does seem a pity that the famed Ore- gon apvle of fifteen years ago, througn neglect and careless methods, has been al- lowed to deteriorate until, where once it was in demand throughout the entire West, now but a small home consumption is found for it. In this, reference is made to the old orchards, the orchards which less than ten years ago were the pride of the State. These trees have become 80 in- fected with the codling moth and other pests that it were better they be destroyed and the orchards replanted with new, thrifty varieties. Then with the old-time orchardists givins to the trees such cul- ture and care as demanded in the present status of the fruit-growing industry, where everything must be of the best to compete in the market, in a few years with the bountiful soil of this State Oregon apples will bave regained their prestige.—Port- land Oregonian. Ben Calvert was in town the other morn- ing with a wagon load of the finest vegeta- bles we ever saw, consisting of cucumbers, tomatoes, string beans, onions, etc., says the Willows Journal. Mr. Calvert has been working on ranches around Willows for a number of years until last winter, when he purchased ten acres of land from P. R. Garnett and at once commenced pre- paring the land for gardening. He put up a windmill and planted all kinds of garden seeds, trees and vines, and has been sell- ing vegetables all season. Mr, Calvert says he will make more money on his ten acres this year than he ever did by working for wnies. He says if he had water to irrigate with he would not give his ten acres for a 300-acre wheat ranch. Mr. Calvert claims that with water ten acres will support a large family. and when Central canal is completed, he says, wheat farming will be a thing of the past. There is an immense crop of peaches in this vicinity, says the Selma Enterprise. Selma is indeed the centet of the peach belt of the State. The crop never fails bere. Inother portions of the State and throughout the United States the crop is a short one, in many sections an entire failure. Mr. Brown_on the McCall road sold the crop on his 14-acre orchard for $1700, and is repenting it. Roy Baird is drying the crop on the Cutler orchard on shares, and is in clover. Ed Butts paid a good lump of hard gold for thirty acres of the Walker ranch and will get back half the money this year. The Gartenlaub orchard, which returned between $6000 and $7000 to Mr. Gartenlaub last season, is making a bigger return this season. Now let the producers remember that the peach crop of the United States is short, and that so far as can be learned from exchanges, this immediate section is the only part of the State where the crop is abundant. It is strange that the growing of tea has not been the subject ot more experimenta- tion in this country, for there are sections in which the climate must be right, and the price 1s such as to encourage the hope of large returns, observes the Oakland En- quirer. Coffee and tea culture seem to be at present the most profitable branches of agriculture in the whole world, and while coffee is the crop on which Mexico is building up a new prosperity, the tea busi- ness is proving very proflusle in India. One of the incorporated tea-growing con- cerns in that country recently paid a divi- dend of 50 per cent, showing how much money there must be in it. Tea has been grown in California as an amusement by amateurs, but in South Carolina there is'a tea farm which is operated for business. It does not seem to have been going long enough to show what the outcome is going to be, but one thing has been determined— that the tea leaves can be gathered and fired—the two operations involving the most labor—for 20 cents a pound, and with this small labor cost there ought to be margin for profit in producing an article which sells for from $1 per pound upward. The Orchard. The first and the very bestof food pro- vided by a kind Creator was fruit, deli- cious, nourishing fruif, says the N. A. Horticulturist. . And although the habits and conditions of mankind in regard to food have undergone great changes, fruit is still the most important, the most grat- ifying and the most healtbful food.

At Metropolitan Hall, One Week, Commencing THURSDAY NICHT, August 22. Giving a Grand and Graphic Portrayal of the Power of Vital Mag= netism and Its Startling Results in Healing the Afflicted. DR. A. EX. BERYANT, The Eminent Medical Specialist, Will long receive the praises of the sfuf{e’lx:ing public for introducing these Wonder- ul Twins. The Sick and Suffering to Be Treated FREE Upon the Stage. ADMISSION FREE! SEATS FREE! TREATMENT FREE! Never before in the history of California has such a noble, charitable and magnani- mous offer been placed before the sick and suffering as that which to-day emanates from the Pacific Coast Medical and Magnetic Institute. With the twofold purpose in view of alleviating suffering humanity and to quickly introduce the latest discovery and most scientific method in the treatment of all chronic diseases, thereby affording an opportunity to see and judge for themselves relative to the unquestionable efficacy of magnetism as the one great healing power of the universe, the management makes the unprecedented offer to treat all who are sick ABSOLUTELY FREE at Metropoli~ tan Hall for one week, commencing THURSDAY NIGHT, August 22. The Human Magnets FOREST, HEALERS. There was a day when magnetism as a curative agent was doubted, but that day THE WORLD'S GREATEST MAGNETIC has passed. The Human Magnets have perfected too many remarkable cures that cannot be disputed. They have been witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people throughout Europe and ti\is country. They possess a power too strange to define, too mysterious to fathom, too miraculous to comprehend, too wonderful to explain, too remarkable to conceive. Their public demonstrations of healing the sick are the most lorious and awe-inspiring of all triumphs in medical research.

The Human Magnets are without a peer in their profession; they are the acknowl- edged leaders and exponents of Magnetism, not only in this conntry, but in all Europe, daily generating, as they do, eight times more of the vital fiuid than any other known Magnetist. A power so strong and subtle in its effects that they cure the most difficult and malignant types of chronic disease often by a single treatment, which for years had baffled the best medical experts. 2 By this marvelous power and gift of healing, combined witn their famous Mag- netized remedies, they have cured the deaf, blind and lame and all diseases of the throat, lungs, heart, liver and kidneys and nervous system, vitalizing and driving all impurities from the blood. They are especially successful in all forms of paralysis, rheumatism, epilepsy, dropsy, diabetes, Bright's disease, tumors and cancers, the stomach and womb—surpassing anything ever attempted or conceived of the healing art. The Hxpert Iiccturer on Magnetism. _Accompanying the public demonstration of Magnetic Healing are the following series of private lectures delivered by Professor Hall, the eminent lecturer, which are not only interesting, but highly instructive to both sexes: THURSDAY NIGHT, August 22—General Lecture to Both Sexes. Subject: ‘“The Human Magnets—Their Power and From Whence It Came.”’ FRIDAY MATINEE, August 23—Private Lecture to Ladies only. “‘Buffering Woman and Her Heroic Fortitude to Endure.’’ FRIDAY NIGHT, August 23—Private Lecture to Gentlemen only. Subject: “‘Our Disobedience of Nature’s Laws.’’ Saturday morning, August 24th—From 10 to 11 A. M. and every morning the fol- lowing week from 10 to 11 a free public demonstration will be given at Metropolitan Hall, showing the power of vital magnetism in the cure of chronic disease, at which time the DEAF, BLIND, LAME, PARALYTIC, AND RHEUMATIC will be treated free upon the stage. The Pacific Coast Magnetic Institute is permanently located at 930 Market street, enirance at Baldwin Hotel annex, rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, where all those who are able and willing to pa{ for private treatment may call any day except Sunday from 10 A.

But it also brings both profits and pleasure to grow fruit for do- mestic use. ‘Where there is a garden, large or small, there is a place ior fruit trees or berry bushes, which, with a little care, will prove a constant source of enjoyment. But where a larger parcel of land is available there the planting of an orchard isto be urgently recommended. For an ideal orchard, which would give the best kinds and varieties of fruit during the whole season, and which would supply a large household and leave a surplus for friends or for market, we should adyise as follows. Of course our selection will have to be moditied for extremely cold or warm climate, and can be changed to suit differ- ent tastes or wants: For an orchard select a soil and sitnation adapted to the growing of different varie- ties of fruit for domestic use. For general purposes a light sandy loam is best, but every soil to used for fruit or berries should be warm, with natural or under- drainage, and must be made rich with barnyard manure or green crops plowed under. The manure must be well rotted and thoroughly mixed with thesoil. A spring or disk harrow and a narrow shovel cultivator are best for working the soil. In laying out the orchard set out enough of each kind to amply supply the family and a little more, an glan: each kind by 1tself in blocks like fields of figin. This is necessary on account of the different habits of growth and of fertilization. Those of a spreading growth like apples need more room, and must be planted farther apart than others. The spread of roots may be judged correctly by thespread of the limbs, which grow and spread in exactly the same yrgyo ions as the roots. & < hen planting for domestic use qafin rows not too long and make full ro each kind, Keep the seed fruit toges and also the stone fruit. Distance planting apples to be not less than 30 feet each way, pears about 20 feet, peaches 16x 20 feet, plums and cherries 16 feet, quinces about 12 féet. Lo utilize all the ground 1n and gooseberries 6x4 feet. and raspberries in rows 7 feet apart and 3 feet in rows. Strawberries for field culture in rows 1x4 feet, for garden culture 15 inches each way. * The stock should be youngand sound, carefully taken from the nursery, leaving the roots in good condi- tion, and properly planted. A gles will do best when planted 3 yearsold; pears, plums, cherries and quinces when 2 years; fencheu when one or two years, grapes at or 2 years, and all other berries when 1 year old. On many a farm the disc harrow would be a labor-saving machine. But this im- plement is by no means perfect. Iam sat- isfied that the best results—except on sod ground'—can be obtained by taking a good ouble-shovel plow and working the soil t}mmughly with it. But this process is too slow. The cost of production of every manu- factured article is much less to-day than it was ten or twenty years ago. Thischeaper production was brought about by improved machinery and the concentration of capi- tal. Part of the business world thinks that whéat selling at 50 cents isin the same pro- ortion as their manufactured articles sell. robably it is. But the farmer has not the labor-saving machinery as the manufac- turer. Neither is the concentration of cap- ital practical. We do need labor-saving machines on the farm, at reasonable prices, to lessen the cost of production. The shape of the field has a great deal to do with the cost of plowing. Profitable farming in ten-acre fields is & thing of the past. The less turning the cheaper the production. Complete revolution is neces- sary on many farms. Many middle fences must be removed.
