This Ww's first offense, and it should teach 0 & lesson. Horses carrying the orange, blue and green colors of Burns & Waterhouse have loomed up in front quite frequently of late, but' many of the victories have proven costly in the way of ‘‘boosts’ in the selling events. Last week the firm had some horses bid up, and the dose was repeated yesterday. When Midlo, who won the second race, was put up to be sold he was bid up to $1000, a raise of $700 over his entered selling price. The bidding-was done Boots, who ran second. trouble ahead for the w the fourth event. Fannie the race, pitted ageinst a ves entered to be sold for $800. Tid: ase and was bid up her entered selling price by J. J. owner of Kathleen, the second horse. Jaimed by horsemen ‘that the Jockey Club is to blame for all of the trouble, They say that on an average but one race y ven for the better class of sell- which compels their owners to ce them where they do not belong and the chance of a bid-up. The poor owners-have grown tired of this sort of thing and have taken the matter in their own hands. The attendance was all that could be ex- pected yesterday considering the card. Racing-going folk have learned to look ch distrust on favorites that when sh in front they are supposed to syed a good day. Such was the ay, a couple of first chances, a nce and a second and third choice getting the coin. It is dollars to doughnuts the trainer of Gondola forgot to muzzle the mare and allowed her to eat too much dessert at ichean, for she did not run the way v are supposed to in the opening ong dash.

Colemsan opened an even-money favorite in the betting, went back to 7 to 5, when he was played down to 6 to 5. Jefferson opened at 8 {0 5, receded to threes and was again backed down to his opening odds. The Little Flush colt, ridden by Rowan, a 3¢ w and won easily a length before Jeffer- son, with the favorite third. The next race, a five-furlong sprint, was taken very easily by Fannie Louise, backed down from even monev to 3 to 5 and off the boards. Kathleen was a good second, with Arctic third. The bookmakers took a hard fall out of the talent on the last race, a'mile sellin, affair, - Uncle Giles carried a_smail barre! of coifi: at 3 and 4 to 5, but Starter Fergu- | son sent them away with the favorite last, and, although he_made a fine run, could never catch Agitato, the 2-to-1 second ghoice,”who led all the way and won by a head in 1:411¢.

Camillo Martin Ridicules the Xdea of Any Filibustering Expedi- tion. Camillo Martin, the consular representa- tive of Spain in this City, has only ridicule for the rumor of an expedition béing fitted out in San Francisco to aid the people of Cuba who are seeking entire independence from the rule of Spain. Referring in a general way to the in- surrection that has now been in progress 1 Cuba for many months, he stated that the situation is being continually mis- represented by the Eastern newspapers, which publish false reports fabricated iu Tampa, Key West, New York, Boston and Philadelphia. He added that these had become so outrageous that the local Span- ish paper had found it expedient to add an “English section” to its pagee in order to make denials and corrections of these reports. Continuing, he said: These Eastern papers have correspondents in Cuba who invent news items in favor of the l'nlurgenm, and even the reverend ministers in New York and Chicago are ‘pre-chlng against Spain, and all with a view of creating a senti- ment in favor of recognizing the insurgents as belligetents. It is probably not generally known that the insurgents are mostly negroes and mulattoes, at least three-fourths of them, while but one- ftlmrth are whites, and they are of the lowest class. All the Cubans who have property interests, who have any standing, who have inteiligence and who have education, are against the move- ment for independence—the more so that the last Spanish Congress pessed a law granting them sich reforms in the matter of local gov- ernment as gave them virtually entire inde- pendence, or home rule, and all the Cubans of the better class are perfectly satisfied with the | existing character of the Government. The real abject of those who have incited this outbresk is plunder and robbery. The claim that they want to secure the independ- ence and freedom of Cuba. If they accom. plished thelr purpose. 1t would simply throw uba in the condition that prevailed in San Domingo when it secured its independence. There would be two republics, 8 white and & black one, and there would be continual war between . them,. for even now there is always bickering between the two San Domingo fac- tions. - Many of the negroes themselves have come Qutina protest and declared thelr loyaity to Spain. Fhere have been reflections made on Spatn for not having subdued the rebellion. The impediment has been the rainy season, when itis impossible 10 do anything, owing 'to the bad condition of the roads. There are how 80,000°Spanish troops in Cubs, but a large | number of them have to be divided among the Ehm_:ntions to_protect ‘them from plander. rom May to December is the rainy season. The dry season sets in next month, and I have no-doubt that then the rebellion will be quickly sippressed. If there are not enough men there o accomplish this, Spain has now 25.000 addi- tional men resdy to throw into the field, and if it is found that more men are necessary they will be promptly forthcoming. In conclusion, the Consul stated that he was a native of Guba himself and felt con- fident that he represented the best-element of his countrymen in speaking of the affairs of Cub: ——————— Timber-Cutter Indicted. The United States Grand Jury brought in an indietment yesterday ageinst James Forbes, charging him with illegally cutting 1000 tan- bark oak trees on Government land in Mendo- cino Gounty. The accused has not been ar- rested, and’the document was placed on the secret file. Informations filed against Richard Ryan and Peter Kelly, charging them with perjury in connection With a mining transac- tion, were ignored. - Garrity Exone Thomas Garrity, a young man who was ar- rested by Secret Service Agent Harris for pass- -ing a counterfeit dollar, was examined before ‘United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday and by consent of the United States District Attorney discharged from custody. There was no evidence 1o show that Garrity passed the spurious coin with criminal intent. IIHE BIKE A REFORMER, Mrs. Peet of the W.C. T.U. Welcomes the *“Silent Mystic Wheel.>” THE SECOND DAY'S SESSION. Reports and Addresses by the State Officers—Work of the Past Year. The second - day of the sixteenth annual convention of .the California. Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was called to order by the president, Mrs. Sturtevant- Peet, yesterday morning in the Y. M. C. A. building. After devotional exercises the following committees were appointed : Committee on credentials—Mrs. Henrietts E. Brown, Mrs. Grace Kimball and Mrs. Annie Little Barry. Committee on resolutions—Miss S. M. Sever- ance, M D. 8. Dickinson, Mrs. Maria A. Crole: Jennie Phelps-Purvis, Mrs. Stod- dard, .N. Croake, Mrs. Laura Knowles and Mrs. Bowman. The annnal reports of the officers were read, Mrs. Henrietta E. Brewer, the. cor- responding secretary, reading that of the recording secretary, Mrs. Dorcas J. Spen- cer, who is-ill. Mrs. Ella S.

Van Kirk addressed the con- vention on Power,” and Miss L C. de Velling upon “Unto the Third and Fourth Generation.'’ The president’s annual address was a mas- terly arsument for the cause of temper- ance, and a tender plea for more earnest action on the part of the women who were devoted to that end. . “Inspired and moved by the most sacred ties of human and divine love,” said the sFenker, ‘‘true daughters and mothers of the republic have battled these many years for the greatest need of the period—God’s eternal justice! This would quench the fires of every distillery and brewery, write over the door of every saloon *To rent,’ stay the hand of every illiterate voter, send to prison every briber and political boss | and place woman in her rightful position.” Upon the subject of physical culture Mrs. Peet scored her highest oratorical triumph, and when she figuratively tied a white ribbon on the bicycle and hailed it as a co-reformer the hearis of every woman, young and old, were with her. OF THE CALIFORNIA W, C. T. U. lady. Mrs. J. L. Evarts was appointed to the office of treasurer during the conven- tion, Mrs. Emily Hoppin, the custodian of finances, being detained from the sessions. Upon ‘“Juvenile: Work” Mrs. Nellie B. Eyster, the State superintendent of the Loyal Temperance Legion, read an enter- taining paper, in which she said: There are fifty-two companies of the Loyal Temperance Legion now organized in Northern California, wtth a membership of 4000 child- ren. Their motto remble, King Alcohol, for we shall grow up.” These children’s com’ panies are divided into junior and senior com- panies, who receive seals, like those of the Chautauqua, upon receiptof diplomas that they have completed a certain course of scien- tific study furnished them in their manuals. The Loyal Temperance Legion is a National or- ganization, now composed of hundreds of thousands of children, of which each State and local organization is & branch. Mrs. E. G. Green stated in her paper upon “Kindergarten and Mothers’ Work” that there had been a notable increase of “mothers’ meetings” this closing year. Books on child-training had been added to the libraries and a déeper interest shown in the literature of childhood. Photo- graphs illustrating the effect of alcohol upon the human syst-m had been placed in the hands of some of the kindergarten teachers of San Francisco with a promise that their lessons would be taught the children. Miss M. N. Cummings read_an instruct- ive report on “Foreign and Sailors’ Work,"” and Mrs. Jessie B. Nevins on “Young ‘Woman's Branch.” Mrs. M. E. Greene gave a Bibie reading from the text, “Christ’s Kingdom One of Mutual Service on Earth as in Heaven,” in which she !&zoke of the need of more self-sacrifice and more mutual service in the woman'’s temperance cause. The hall was crowded in the afternoon session, demonstrating the great interest taken in the work of the convention.

Mrs, Peet in her remarks said: ‘Re- formed dress is no longer a question en- gaging the attention of a few families, but is now universal. All know the value of a strong unburdened body, and for this rea- son the bamishment of the corset and re- stricting bands is taking place. But dress | reform pressed its claim for forty years | with little progress until the bicycle, that graceful, silent steed of motion, dashea | through and burst the door of prejudice. | “The mystic steed of steel is the mute but telling advocate of dress reform. It demands simplicity in. dress, it encour- ages physical exercise, and utterly refuses to carry a drungen rider. In short, the wheel is a reformer, for it has discouraged the use of cigars and cigarettes to the number of 65,000,000 a year.” The evening session was an able and in- structive address upon the ‘“Evolution of Woman,”” her advance from primitive bar- barism to the ballot-box being illustrated by tableamix. One of the pictures which Miss Severance, the speaker, drew was woman surrounded by her political com- panions or rather political equals—a con- vict, an Indian, a Cginnmnn, an idiot and a baby. ‘Lhe convention will meet this mornin, at 9 o’clock for an election of officers an national delegates. In the afternoon the addresses and discussions will be upon abstinence in moral science, and in the evening David Starr Jordan will address the convention on “The Bober Mind.”” T0 RESCUE LIILE WARS Organization of the Chlldreri's Home - Finding So-~ ciety. It Proposes to Take Youths From the 8lums and Teach Them Useful Trades. The Children’s Home-Finding Society and its officers and directors are among the most prominent people in the State. The first move in this direction was made many months ago, shortly after D. M. Carman gave a series of lectures in this city on the subject of slum life.1n the larger cities, with stereopticon illustra- tions. It was found on investigation that S8an Francisco had a large number of this class Wwho were not eligible to or fit for the ordi- nary orphan asylums. ‘The plan of work at that time outlined was the result of a thorough investigation of nearly all the systems adopted by the various child-sav- ing institutions of the country, and a prominent feature of the proposed work was that of making the children taken from the hovels of the City wholly or par- tially self-sustaining. . - The next step was _the formation of tire Children’s Home-Finding Bociety with ‘| the following officers: FPresident, D.

Most of the Sonoma County hops were gathered last week. The crop 1s a very fine one, says the Santa Rosa Farmer, and the weather, taken all in all, has been very favorable for pickers and growers, facili- tating the gathering of the crop in the proper season. Even more care than usual has been exercised in curing the fragrant blossoms, and hop buyers all readily con- cede that the Sonoma County crop of 1895 is by far the finest ever placed on the market. The number of bales per acre is from five to ten, according to the stand of hops, the cultivation and the location. The cut worm has seriously interfered with the stand in several localities and added to the expense account. The weather has been cool and favorable in Alameda County, and a prime article, about as fine as the Sonoma County crop, has been baled, the yield being about the same, seven bales per acre. Frank Cress of Wyandotte has twelve walnut trees and the oldest is eleven years old, says the Oroville Register. All the trees are prolific bearers, ana from the old- est tree he gets between three and four 60-pound sacks. These he sold last year at ten cents a pound. He says English wal- nuts have no disease, béar heavily, and there is a handsome profit if an orchard will bear anything near as heavy as his dozen trees do. The Nevada City Transcript says that the 700 acres of almonds at Rio Bonito, Butte County, will yield this year 250,000 pounds which at ten cents a pound will equal $25,000, or a trifle less than $40 an acre. Had it not been for the late frosts the crop would “have given over $150 an acre. This is certainly away ahead of wheat-raising, where the farmer is lucky to get back even & little more than his seed. At the Pullman (Wash.) Agricultural College seyeral weeks are devoted every year to the instruction of farmers on a line quite similar to that pursued at the Wrights Camp Summer School in this State. In referring to the inauguration of this idea of a farmers’ school at Pullman, President E. A. Bryan of the agricultural college recently said that for the first two or three days the farmers seemed to think they were perhaps wasting their time; that having devoted all their fives to farming they perhaps knew as much as any schoolmaster or professor could know; but they soon discovered that each pro- fessor had made special study of his de- partment, and that he was able to give them a large amount of not only intereste ing but very valuable information in re- gard toit, and that while college professors might not know as much about farming as practical farmers, each one of them did know a little more about some department of farming than even the farmer himself, Salt Bush at Traver. Last January-the editor of the Traver Advocate secured and planted a small quantity of Australian salt bush seed. In April he made a trip to the Tulare agricul- tural station and got some plants, which ‘he planted on the same land with the seed. In the last issue of his paper appears the following: We now have at our office one of the plants grown from the seed, which measures eight feet across.. Welearn from our experience with the plant that the seed should be planted early in the fall and not covered very deep in the ground. In fact, we think seed scattered on the surface, be- fore the winter rains begin, would give best results. We can show a plant for every seed planted, unless it be in one or two spots where they were irrigated. They do not seem to do as well when irrigated as they do on unirriggted land, and culti- vation is not necessary, at least we did not cultivate. The experiment with us was to see if it would grow on alkali—the kind of land that they say will eat off a crowbar when stuck into it—and such land that is not cultivated, but lies waste. Well, this is the kind of land on which we scratched under the few seeds we had. A look at the land about once in two weeks was all the attention it got; but that seemed to be all it needed, for it grew at a rapid rate—that is, the plants from the seed. The trans- planted plants did not do well, and al- though we waterea and kept the ground loose around them they soon died. B ‘We have great faith in this salt bush and truly believe that there has not as yet been uns Jlam brought to the observation of the ifornia farmer that will assist more in neutralizing and reclaiming alkali land than it will. Weare convinced that it is adapted to such lands, because our obser- vation shows us that if planted in the fall the rlnnts will be large enoufh to shade the land directly around it before the hot summer sun draws the alkali to the sur- face. And any one with a ‘knowledge of such land knows that if the land is shaded it is always moist. This fact is what we consider the only thing that makes it pos- sible for nngthing to grow on the land. This being the case the salt bush fills all requirements, as one single plant will send out a mat of runners four feet in every direction and cover the ground four or five inches deep. As a forage plant we can say that we have tried it and find that horses, cattle, hogs and sheep eat it. We have not so much that we could earry it in large quantities, but have only tried it on a small scale. A chemical analysis has shown the plant to contain something like seventy-five pounds of salt to a ton of the hay. By the above we can see how it will assist us to neutralize these bad lands. First, by keeping it shaded; second, by graduall taking out the salt, and third, as a fertili- zer that has been digested by the stock that have eaten the plant for hay. We hope our farmers who have alkali land will send to the horticultural station at Berkeley for a small quantity of this seed. It will only cost you 5 cents postage. An orchard should be cultivated as deep and as often as possible. A fact that should be among fruit-growers is fruit too dry injures cooked. The Guinda News has this to say about Capay Valley's fine fruits: F. Swete is shipping his crop of Bartlett pears to Eastern markets. The fruit is as large as any we have seen. A sample, representing the average of the crop, measured twelve inches in its shortest circumference and weighed eiihuen ounces. One of the largest weighed over twenty-two ounces. A Kelsey anpan plum, picked from one of J. G. Woodbury’s voung trees, is on exhi- bition at the Postoffice. It measures nearly eight inches in circumference, Prune-Raising in Oregon. According to the estimates of G. I. Sar- gent, secretary of the Oregon Board of Horticulture, there are 565,000 acres of pit and core fruit in that State, and 1500 acres of the berry variety. Of the former esti- mate 35,000 acres are set to prunes. Mr. generally known that drying the its flavor when Sargent has estimated the yield of orchards under his observation and’ feels warranted in_making the statement that at bedrock prices. prune-raising is a profitable indus- try in Oregon. R. F. Meyers of Jefferson has twenty-three acres of prunes. The trees are 7 years old and the orchard promises an average yield. Mr. Meyers estimates the yield at from 80,000 to 100,000 ounds dried. The cash price being offered E)r dried prunes is from 4 to 5 cents. From the lowest estimate, 80,000 pounds, and at 4} cents per pound, the income from this orchard will be $3400, or a little more than $147 per acre. The cost of evaporating, at1cent per pound, will be about $35 per acre. Allowing $12 for spraying, cultivating, etc., leaves a net in- come n? $100 per acre. Secretary Sargent considers this a conservative estimate. Drying California Black Figs. A. B. Leckenby contributes the follow- ing suggestions to the Bakersfield Califor- nian: [t is timely to say afew words on the subject of fig drying, especially con- siderinig the many that are going to waste. Last year we read up on the subject and followed many formulas, in most if not all cases to be disappointed with the results. 'PERMANENTLY ORGANIZED.

It has a wonderful effect. Trees that seem to be sickly will revive and throw off by re- newed vigor the disease that had already half killed them. Trees that before bore Our experience with this process re- | meagerly and miserably seem to oecome | mstinet with life, and as though they had changed their species commence the fol- lowing season to produce large and lus- cious crops.
