4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1895. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Co-operation Favored by California Fruit- - Growers. ! WORKING IN HARMONY.| Local Exchanges to Be Formed in Every Section of the State. PROTECTION OF THE FORESTS. A System Similar to That in France Advocated—The Convention Adjourns. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 8.—The Cali- fornia State Fruit-Growers’ Association resumed the discussion of co-operation this | morning and it was generally conceded that a co-operative organization would tend to unite the fruit-growers of the en- tire State. If the middleman’s commis- sion could be saved to the growers it would be a great aid to the industry. The convention was of the opinion that a market should be established for Califor- nia fruits in every city in the Union pos- sessing a population of over 10,000, and that growers should be so strongly organ- ized throughout California that no one market would receive enough fruit to pro- duce a glut. It was suggested that good agents be sent over the State to form local | exchanges and that each member of the | convention on his return home call to- | gether his neighbors and state the con- | clusion the convention had reached, and by this method perfect such an organiza- tion. The first thing to do, however, was | to unite, build a warehouse, have a fruit | garden and then let on® man’s fruit help to sell anothe: It was agreed that the Business must be reduced to a system to insure success; cousignments were de- moralizing—the middlemen loan the grow- ers mo to market their crops, take a mortgage on the farm and oblige the grower to ship through their agencies. The committee appointed to report on the president’s address favored asking the | Legislature for the foilowing appropria- | tion or $5000 for the destruction of in- | sect pests; for $5000 to defray the expenses | of the te Bureau of Horticulture. The | report was adopted. Thk committee on le the following, which w islation submitted as adopted : “We recommend to the California Con- | legution the initiation of a | measure to secure an eflicient and econom- ical administration of the Government | and mountain and forest lands in Califor- nia. the right line to protect from fire and un- due denudation, our mountain watersheds. This will diminish floods in the valle; lands, and better maintain irrigation sup- plies. This policy requires no more in this State than in France a prevention of the utilization of the mineral, forest or other | resources of our mountain lands. “In France and Germany the Govern- ment forest lands pay a large return above their cost into the public treasury. There | is nd reason why we should not gradually | establish a similar stem. Fire, waste | and de: tion in our forest lands are senseless and do permanent injury to our | watershe The present forest reserva- | tions make legitimate mineral and other | developments in our mountains difficult | without any proper protection against fire | and injury, except about the Yosemite. This should be remedied by Federal ac- | tion. At the afternoon session of the conven- tion the grading of fi wasdiscussed, and one gentleman gave an account of his trip to Germany in the dried fruit in- terests. He found the American dried apricots were in demand, but that dried peaches were not wanted. He examined several samples and found that they were extremely defective, not being dried prop- erly. Samples of peaches which he had | with him he distributed, and they were universally commend: Mr. Berry told his experience and the success of introducing California fruit | products into foreign markets. He had presented 500 pounds of dried fruit to a young man, whose father conducted a grocery business in Bristol, Eng., and shortly afterward an order had been re- ceived Jor two carloads of the same products. Secretary Lelong, by request, delivered a very interesting address on the olive and proper method of preparing it for market. A discussion ensued upon’ the proper place for the convention in ’96. Riverside, San Jose and San Diego were all anxious to entertain the growers, but eventually it was left to the executive committee. Vice- President R. D. Stevens gave a cordiel in- vitation on the part of Sacfamento as the next place to convene, and the convention adjourned. His Unnatural Pallor Due to the Long Confinement in Prison. The Man Accused of Killing the Webers Must Stand Trial for His Life. SACRAMENTO, Car, Nov. 8.—Ivan Kovalev must stand trial for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. L. Weber. Tne second jury impaneled to decide upon the ques- tion of his sanity has declared him per- fectly sane. He has been subjected to a rigid examination by seven physicians and his mental equilibrium proven beyond a doubt. Kovaiev’s unnatural pallor is declared to be the result of elose imprisonment, and his air of hopelessness is believed to be caused either by remorse or, possibly, ignorance of the trial to which he is about to be'subjected end a belief that it is the same arbitrary court proceeding of his native land, almost certain to end in either imprisonment or death. Police Row Settled. Nov. 8.—Fresno’s police row was settled by the City Trustees last night. Three policemen, who had been temporarily suspended by the Trustees at their last meeting pending an investi- | bail, w The present forest reservations are in | ) | for $500, which show Mr. Taylor in a very | ised in Taylor’s case. gation of charges of imbibing liquor while on duty, were reinstated. This action is meeting with disfavor in some | quarters, it being claimed that no investi- gation was made. g ACQUITTED AT REDDING. Mrs. Miller, the Slayer of Her Husband, Deciared to Have Been In- sane. REDDING, Car., Nov. 8.—After being out four hours the jury in the trial of Mrs, Mary Miller, charged with murder, re- turned a verdict at 8o’clock to-night of not guilty, by reason of insanity. The trial has occupied the attention of | the Superior Court for over a week. Bx- pert testimony adduced s‘ho\\'ini the defendant to be insane and irresponsible. Mrs. Miller killed her husband, Frav Miller, with a hatchet, in his store in this city on the morning of Angust 1. She acknoweledged striking him, but said she «1d not 1ntend to kill him. Mrs. Milter will now be examined before a medical commission and no doubt sent to an insane asylum. e Affray Near Phenix. PH@ENIX, Ariz., Nov. 8.—John Pinion, colored, last night shot two Mexicans at a Mexican saloon near this city. Francisco Inijada will die. The affair seems to have been a drunken brawl, though the negro affirms the Mexicans attacked him with the intent to commit robbery, and the shooting was in self-defense. TACOM'S REFORM WG County Treasurer Hedges' Name Enrolled Among Inmates of the Jail. Wholesale Arrests of County, City and Columbia Bank Officials Continue. TACOMA, WasH., Nov. 8.—The reform wave and the attendent arrest of city, county and bank officials goes bravely on | and, following in the wake of the arrest of | George W. Boggs, ex-City Treasurer; W. | B. Allen, president of the Bank of Ta coma; ex-City Treasurer J. W. McCauley, County Commuissioner W. L. Bartholomew and Cashier Peters of the Columbia Bank, a thunderbolt struck the city when County | Treasurer John B. Hedges was arrested | yesterday on a warrant sworn out by Samuel Wilkeson. | The complaint charges the County Treasurer with having used over $100,000 | of county funds for the purpose of n g | a profit for himself, contrary to the stat- ute, the charge being exactly similar to that made against ex-City Treasurer J. W. McCaule; There was considerable misunderstand- ing concerning the serving of the warrant, i it having been issued in the morning and kept all day, and Sheriff Parker orilered his deputy to serve it in the evening, making it impossible for Hedges to secure ich i $10, Mr. Hedzes Deputy Treas- urer for several years previous to his elec- tion last November, and some years ago vas a partner of Cashier Peters in the ab- ct business. Following the arrest of serious charges against M. Taylor, president of the Board of Pub- lic Work Bank aminer Cleary, in his thorough examination of the books of the defunct | Columbia Bank, found entries and slips bad light, Taylor's son being carried on | the payroll for five months past, though receipts for his salary are found for only two 1aonths. Cierks in the bank testify that young Taylor never worked there, but simply drew his salary. or, as president of the Board of Public Works, it is charged, used hisin- | tluence to help keep the city’s money i“l the defanct bank, providing he got a rake- | off and a place was provided for bis son. It was reported last spring that Mr. Taylor used his influence with Major. Oliver, a member of the School Board, as president | of the bank, to induce him to vote for Mr. | Votaw for secretary of the School Board. | The intimation was very directly conveyed to the major tha the city money deposited | in his bank might be suddenly’ called for in case he did not vote for Votay. | Some very spicy developments are prom- That the Columbia Bank is proving a genuine mine of infor- mation for city and county investigators has been proven beyond all doubt. It has already furnished the evidence which has caused the arrest of the city and county treasurer and its own cashier, besides sup- | plying evidences that promises to make it | tropical for the president of the Board of | Public Works. Mr. Hedges’' predecessor | in office was a depositor at this bank and | so were the county officials, and a thorough | examination is being made which will probably lead to the arrest of several oth- ers. The finger of suspicion points also to two councilmen, who are under surveil- ance, and in all probability a round dozen arrests will be made within the next week. NO USE FOR A KICKER. The Way to Recuperate Is to Pay Your Board aud Ask No Questions. After getting washed up I went down on the veranda to have a little interview with the landlord of the mountain hotel to which I had been recommended. “‘Any fish around here?”’ was the natural first question. “Dunno,” he replied, as he glanced to- ward the brook. “‘Is the mountain in front accessible?”’ “Mebbe she ar’.” ; “Do the people do much driving about up here?” “Can’t say.” 3 “What is the altitude of your house aboyve the sea?” «I never figgered.”” ~‘What did your thermometer register last night?” ““Hain’t got nona.” “Do you expect to have a full house this season?’ “Kinder expect.” “How do your guests amuse them- selves?” “Dunno.” I was determined to bring him out of his shell if it were possible, and after an inter- val I queried: 5 A “Do you get a daily mail up here?” «] guess so,”” he gingeriv replied. “As the landlord of the hotel you ought to be posted on all these things, hadn’t you?" 3 He slowly faced around, took a long look at me, and finally asked: “Didn’t you come up here to recooper- ate?” “Yes, Idid.” “Wall, I'm givin’ ye a good straw bed, meat and 'taters twice a day and as good spring water as ye'll find inthe Catskills. If ye want to recooperate go ahead and re- coop. If ye want to kick and upsot things ye'd better pack up and find a landlord who's willin’ to board ye fur $12 a weck and talk a lung off free gratis.”’—Detroit Free Press. - His Best. “I'm givin’ yer de shake. See? He quailed before her scornfnl glance. “‘Fitzsemarity,”” she cried, “I defy you to make good your words.’’ She laughed a cruel, mocking laugh, She was well aware that his education had been neglected and that he probably could not make his words any better to save his neck.—Detroit Tribune, Frescoes representing the Salutation of the Virgin and the Nativity, earlier than the Reformation, bave been found under the plaster of the parish church at Asham- stead, near Reading; Eng. 1 | | | | | PAUIFIC COAST NEWS, “As You Like It” Presented in the Open Air at Stanford. COMEDY ON THE CAMPUS. Escondito Lawn Transformed Into a Typical Forest of Arden. BEAUTIFUL SCENIC EFFECTS. A Thousand Spectators Applaud the Gallant Orlando and Fair Rosalind. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Nov. 8.—Escondito Lawn, the garden spot of Stanford, was transformed into a forest of | Arden to-day, and an audience of 1000 | people gathered under the stately trees to applaud a presentation of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” by the Friedlander company, the occasion being his birthday. Congratulatory teiegrams from all over the country were read and a dehghtful evening spent in discussing an elegant repast—both material and intellectual. e ACCUSED BY A MONGOL. Men Robbing a Two Charged With Chinese Lottery. SAN JOSE, Car., Nov.8.—John Mona- han and Mat Egan were arraigned before Justice Gass to-day on & charge of robbery, preferred by Chin Lee, the proprietor of a lottery game on North Market street, who alleged that the men entered his place and assaulted and robbed him of $80. The men say they had a winmng ticket, and, as Lee Chin rafused to cash it, they struck him over the head with a stick. They deny that they robbed him. Their preliminary examinations were set for November 11, and bail was fixed at $1000 in each —— DEATH LURKS IN HIS BODY. An Insane Man Who Imagines He Is Charged With Electricity. SAN JOSE, Car., Nov. 8.—Robert Mast- berg, a young German about 28 years of age, was brought to the County Jail from Morgan Hill last night on a charge of in- sanity. He imagines his body is sufficiently electrified to kill a dozen men, ana defies un( one to touch him. Mastberg wa formerly a bookkeeper in a San Francisco commission-house, but for the past month has been living at Morgan Hill, where he annoyed the people with bis imaginary electrical displays. e ey Santa Cruz Charity Fete. SANTA CRUZ, CL., Nov.J3.—The United Aid Societies, composed of the three char- itable organizations of this city—the Woman's Aid Society, Catholic Ladies’ Aid Society and the Woman’s Relief Corps— THE ESCONDITO LAWN, WHERE “AS8 YOU LIKE IT” WAS PRE- SENTED BEFORE STANFORD STUDENTS. Company, which scored a success at Sutro | Heights some weeks ago. For days past workmen have been busily engaged in pre- paring the campus theater-grounds, and the natural growth of oaks and pines and artistically trimmed shrubs combined in a setting for a scene unusually attractive. The weather was delightful for such a per- formance. Among the spectators were the Stanford student-body, practically in its entirety, the families of faculty members and several hundred visitors from neigh- boring towns and San Francisco. A gradually rising platform was completely covered with seats, which were all filled. The players, as in the early days of English drama, were forced to content themselves with the greensward. The incongruity of nineteenth-century grounds and costumes, the words and the move- ments of men of a time so far past, as por- trayed in *As'You Like It,” probably struck the minds of all spectators. Never- theless, the work of the ylayers was gen- erally of such a high dramatic order that | each scene was fascinating to onlookers, | and each one forgot inconsistencies in the | skillful manner with which the laughable comedy was bandled. Notwithstanding the fact that the perforndance lasted over two hours and a half, it was necessary to cut many good parts of the work. Thisto some extent doubtless marred the satis- factory completeness of the original, and, perhaps, was accountable for the per- ceptible hunting for lost cues by the actors. Especially toward the end of the play, those acquainted with the text must have been perturbed at the seemingly needless transposition and unpardonable loss of lines. The wortk of Frank Armstrong as Or- lando was a finished piece of acting, and that gentleman easily carried off the hon- ors of the male contingent with his clever portrayal of the fiery, valiant, yet generous-hearted son of Rowland de Bois and lover of Rosalind. His work was characterized by strength, and the many fine passages put into the hero’s mouth by Shakespeare met warm applause at this actor’s rendition of them. At no time was there an embarrassing pause when Orlando should speak. Pauline French made an ideal Rosalind, and by her work disclosed the care which she must bave given to one of Shakes- peare’s most difficult passages. With her natural, girlish beauty, her winning pres- ence and graceful gestures she was admir- able, but it was in her expressive delinea- tion of the sentiments which must have animated the original Rosalind that Pauline French displayed her ability as an actress. She appeared forgetful of self and wholly absorbed in the character she enacted. It is but fair to remark, how- ever, that this actress’ voice is pot suffi- clently strong for open-air productions. Touchstone’s peculiar, lively character was done ample justice by Percy Hunting. The bubbling wit and comical antics of Touchstone the Fool were assumed by him in a praiseworthy manner, and his efforts elicited much applause. Miss Gallrich as Phebe made consider- able of her role as the disdainful shep- herdess beloved of Sylvius. The work of theremaining members of the cast was not of an especially high order, though Miss Heffon made a highly ludicrous Audrey. The many songs intetspersed throughout Shakespeare’s comedy were finely sung by the Stanford Glee Club, whose members werein the cast as foresters. Yrom an artistic point of view the per- formance was a decided success. Finan- cially, the management will come out but slightly ahead, as the expense of getting the troupe here was great, and a consider- able outlay was made in getting the best possible scenic effects.

Escaped His Deserts for a Brutal Kill- ing by Pleading Guilty to a Lesser Crime. LOS ANGELES, Car., Nov. 8.—Giovanni the ITtalian who was brought back from Trenton, N. J., to answer for the killing of Roy Kenner, a negro black- smith, on December 20, 1894, in this city, announced to Judge Smith this morning that he wanted to plead guilty of man- slaughter. He stated that before he was sentenced he wanted to make a statement of how the crime was committed. An interpreter was sworn in and Ca- razzi through that medium went into a rambling story of how he did not commit murder, but somebody else did. He said it was a job put up on him and he was in- nocent of having done wrong. His enemy, he said, belonged to a society and had many false witnesses who would swear against him, The court listened to his statement and then sentenced him to ten years' imprison- ment at the Folsom Penitentiary. Roy Kenner was a popular man among all his acquaintances, and a good black- smith. Carazzi took a wagon to bim to be repaired. After the repairs were finished he went to take it away, but Kenner re- fused to let it go until he was paid for the work. Carazzi became wrathy and threatened vengeance, but the brawny blacksmith did not pay much attention to his talk. He went about his business in the shop and while his back was turned to the mutter- ing Italian the latter sprang at him and plunged a long knife into his back. The wounded man was taken at once to his house on College street, but died before reaching it. Carazzi fled after the commission of his murderous assault and for months nothing could be learned of his movements. He is regarded as one of the most dangerous criminals in the country, and four other murders are said to have been committed by him. He belongs to the much-feared Mafia Society, and it 1s regarded as astonishing that he should have been permiued to escape a punishment commensurate with the crime he committed. Judge Smith gave him the extreme limit of the punish- ment fixed by law for manslaughter. P R e CHANDLER'S CRITICISM. SBays Bayard’s Speech Was a Disgrace to Americanism. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 8.—Senator William E. Chandler, who, in ‘his New Hampshire newspaper recently, predicted war between the United States and England, is at the Fifth-avenue Hotel. When seen to-day by & reporter Mr. Chandler was reading an account of the speech made yesterday by Embassador Thomas F. Bayard before the Edinburgh Philosophical Society. “*Such a speech is a disgrace to the spirit of Americanism,” said the Senator. “The idea of our Embassador to Great Britain talking in such a strain. Ifthe people of Great Britainare to believe the statements made yesterday by Mr. Bayard they would be of the opinion that the policy of the United States Government is one of abso- lute socialism. Such willful misrepre- sentation cannot fail to produce an effect adverse to our interests. In regard to the statements denouncing protection, Mr. Bayard’s words are easily scouted, and they would not have been given credence by any one at all familiar with the condition of this country under high and low tariff.” ———————— A law was passed in En, the effect that at parties *‘ladies must not get drunk on any pretext whatever, and gentlemen not before 9 o’clock.’” thd in 1750 to | Cast aside all right or titie to being designated PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Swindler Arlington Caught by the Officers at Suisun. JAILED AT SAN JOSF. An Aged Confidence Man Who Victimized Many Hard- Working Girls. ROBBED OF THEIR SAVINGS. He Had Proposed Marriage to Them and Then Borrowed Their Money. SAN JOSE, CaL.,, Noy. 8.—Chief Kid- ward returned from Sul\m this evening with Arthur Arlington, who is charged with swindling Addie Dowden of Santa Clara out of $47. Arlington, who is about 50 years of age, came to this city two months ago, and posed as a rich rancher who was in need of a first-class servant. He visited the various employment offices, representing that money was no objeet if the proper person could be secured. He had many applicants for the position, and each ap- plicant seemed to suit him exactly. While making arrangements with the girls who were to preside over his household he incidentally professed love for them and | proposed marriage. While this question | was being considered by the unsuspecting | girls he showed checks for large amounts of money, but complained of inability to secure small change. Under various pre- tects he secured the savings of the girls, | and then hied himself away. It was in this way that he met Addie Dowden and | secured $47 from her. Arlington, who was formerly a dentist, has served two terms in the State peni- tentiary for burglaries committed in San | Francisco. He was then known as L. Miller, alias Charles Holman, alias Charles Johnson. His first term was for five years and the second ten years. The charge of prior conviction will be urged against him. | e ity NORMAL SCHOOL GRADUATES. of | Diplomas Presented to a Large Cla Students. SAN JOSE, Carn., Nov. 8.—Assembly | Hall of the State Normal School was well | filled by friends and relatives of the fall “and in defiance, end without regard to mfu- larly organized labor, did, in massmeeting assembled, pass resolutions,” etc. We desire tv state that we acknowledge error, in that we should have inserted after the word “defiance'” the words *of every principle of American manhood.” The words, *“and without regard to regularly organized labor” were used simply as amild way of stating that had the “alieged laborers” been engaged in a legitimate protest, they would have notified all labor organiza- tions, and the public generally, through the cal columns of the daily press, of their inten- tions, and would have asked our co-operation (which would have been most cheerfully ex- tended in a legitimate cause), instead of mal ing a sneaking march through the then de- serted business porilon of the city after night- #ll and then passing resolutions and denounc- ing and attempting to intimidate State officers into a disreputable violation of their sworn duty to their constituents, all of which no American_ with the slightest spark of manly principle in his heart could or would counte- nance or tolerate. The Evening Bee and the Record-Union—the former aileged by the reading public of this city and elsewhere to wear the ‘‘railroad eol- lar,” and-the latter owned, plant and brains, by the monopoly—have each taken umbrage at the resolutions set forth by this couneil, de- claring, nmun% other things, that the railroad employes should bear no weight in the deliber- ations of the Railroad Commission as against the overwhelming odds of other industrial workers in the State. We respecttully submit that there was no more cruelity suggested or asserted in that resolution than the truth, boldly proclaimed, indicates. It is a well- known fact that organized labor will at all times extend to unorganized labor its moral support in its efforts to prevent degradation in any form or while attempting to better 1ts con- dition, but unorganized labor need expect no more ‘than moral support. If unorganized labor would receive more from organized labor then it must organize and afliliate and stand its share of the expense and uniiring effort necessary to bring order out of chaos. The speakers at Saturday (October 19) night's meeting asserted that the Southern Pacific Company was paying its employes higher wages than aay other railroad in the United States. While we believe that assertion will not bear investigation, still, admitting it to be true, do not the poor dupes know that the “monkey” who was using them at that time mply paving the way for any future re- ion that Uncle Collis and his satellites may determine upon, by using their own declaration, made in mass-meeting assembled, against them? The railroad organs of this city act as though they knew they could stuff any kind of buncombe down the throats of the railroad employes. They have scared them into pro- testing against the proposed cut in transpor tion rates by intimating that the corporation would be compelied to make up the difference in net profits bv cutting wages. And the men seem to be imbued with the idea that they cannot help themselves, but must prostitute their American manhood at the behest of their employer. Then, again, the Record-Union comes for- ward with the startling intelligence that by Teason of the proposed reduction 1n transpor- tation rates our State will be flooded with_the “pauper and prison-labor manufactures” of the East. Think of it—a reduction thag can only be enforced within the confines of the great State of Californie so reducing the freight on Eastern manufactures and products as 1o flood our glorious State and ruin and bankrupt our manufacturers and merchants! And then, too, this anomaly, that cheaper transportation on freignts does not bring reduced prices to the consumer. Why have merchants complained from time to time to the Railroad Commi-sion, and even to_the courts in years gone by that the railroad company was discriminating against them and in favor of some competitor, who was thereby enabled to updersell them? Why isit that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company has, from the first operation of its road. held this same diserimination scheme as a club over the head of every merehant in Cali- fornia, aye, on the whole "Pacific Slope, who could not avail himself of water or railroad competition, and who should in any wise incur the displeasure of the operators of the South- ern Pacific?

LABOR IN SELF-DEFENSE, The Sacramento Federated Trades Council on Certain Reso- lutions. It Explains the Attitude of the Coun- cil in Regard to the Railroad. The following communication under seal of the ¥ecerated Trades Council has been sent to THE CALL with a request that it be published. It deals with a subject that has already been discussed in thése columns, and as it comes in the form of a reply toac- cusations that the Federated Trades Coun cil cannot with facility circulate in Sacra. mento County without the assistance of some untrammeled journal like THE CaLy, it is given space as a matter of justice: Federated Trades Council of Sacramento, Headquarters, 1019 Ninth street, R. L. Fowkes, President; L. W. Reeber, Secretary, Sacramento, Cal., Oct. 4, 1894, To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—SIR: On Monday evening, October 4, preamble and resolutions were presented for the considera- tion of Sacramento Federated Trades Couneil condemnatory of the action taken by some three hundred laborers of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in this city ai & meeting held by them in" Armory Hallon Saturday | evening, October 19, 1895. In speaking of these laborera we referred to them as “alleged laborers,” and we used the term advisedly. The parties who composed that meeting had by their action in attending said meeting and supporting the resolutions there promu?uwd “American laborers.” Therefore we were jus- tified in referring to them as “alleged laborers.” Again, certain newspapers of this city have seen fit to take us to for using the words, | wealth; the Government bare- d climate, unsurpassed ed fertility—has been held and her growth in population and pro- ductiveness retarded, while a few men at the head of the gigantic octopus have accumu- lated fabulous and umerited —aye, illegal cedly robbed ; the people bled to the tune of “all the traffic will bear”; laborers cut down and forced at the point of the bayonet into abject submis- sion; settlers and home-builders shot down in the sight of their families; shareholders robbed of their legitimate dividends, and gen- eral distress, misery and poverty where pros- perity and happiness should reign supreme. And, turther, the mouthpieces of the railroad would inculeate the belief in the minds of the roads employes and the general public that the California Railroad Commission intends to re- duce the transportation rates 2 per cent regard- less of the ability of the railroad corporation to make its necessary operating expenses and a fair dividend on its paid-upcapital stock under such cut. .\’mhlni\vns ever more fallacious. In the first place the commission has no such power under the laws of this State or of the United States; and, if the commission had the power and the desire, the populace would not permit it, as the railroad, operated under proper laws is a necessity of our modern civili- zation and must be maintained. Finally, the Bee intimates that Mr. La Rue, one of the Commissioners, had & hand in con- ceiving the resolutiohs presented to this coun- cil on October 21. We desire to enter a dis- claimer, in justice to Mr. La Rue. The resolu- tions were written at no one’s suggestion. We are iree to say the author of the resolutions never had an opportunity for an introduction to that gentleman. He saw him butonce in his ‘life, and tbat was at the Democratic City Convention, and he has never spoken nor written to Mr. La Rue. So that gentleman’s skirts are clear of any blame that may by any chance be atiached to the passing and publish- ing of said resolution Furthermore, the preamble and resolutions in question were written by a Democrat; sub- mitted to a committee composed of three Re- publicans for amendment or alteration if they saw fit; then submitted to consideration and vote of the delegates present, consisting of two or three Democrats, seven or eight Repub- licens and the remainder Populists, who directly represent about 1500 organized wage- earners in this city and by affiliation over 50,000 in the State. “Therefore politics did not enter into it. The resolutions were passed without a dissenting voice or vote. Respect- fully submitted.

He sends them out in companies of fifty families, each provided with a rabbi and a doctor, and he expects them to settle in villages, giving a special tract for each company. e “Awaked by Smai's Awful Sound” is the only hymn known to have been writ- ten by an” American Indian. It was the work of Samson Occum, an Indian preacher of great ability. He visited England in 1766 to raise funds for an Indian school, and secured £10,000 for the institution that afterward became Dartmouth College.

It Takes a Washingtonian to Do it, Though. He Misses No Point, Though What He Says is Short. “Brevity is the soul of wit,” said the proverb-maker, and on this occasion Le was not far from making a point that would count in a contest of wise sayings. But that question of proverbs covers a pretty wide field. On the one hand you are told that “Everything comes to him who knows now to wait,”” and again that *“Those who knock Joudest and longest will enter first.” You have heard doubtless that *“It can never do harm to tell the truth’ (espe ally if you are going to shame the devil by by the act), but your neighbor will retort toyou (if he the chance), that “‘Silence is golden.”” This sort of comparison could go on endlessly, but it is not profitable. The fact is, if a man has his head on [evel”’ and “knows his text”’ quite as likely to make a any of the savants who have ‘‘gone before” and whose giory often rests principally on the fact that they are dead. Apropos of all this, Mr. George H. Rice, who is not fond of appearing before the public, has recently “given voice’” to some of the straightest truths, in the shortest form, which have been heard of. Mr. Rice is a Washingtonian—his home being at Fort Canby, in that State—and not lengago, while in a very depressed and nervous condition, he sought help. His system was all run down from extraneous causes and collapse seemed likely to ensue at any moment. The great specialists of the Hudson Medical Institute, however, came to his aid, and while it was none too soon it was yet in time, This is the terse and vigorous way in whici he expresses him- e aathitha good he received from plac- ing himself in the hands of the wonderf:l doctors whose big white building stands on the corner of Stockion, Market and Eliis streets. ForT CANBY, Wash., Aug. 5, 1895 *Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal.—Gentlemen: I thought I had written you long ago, but find I have not. The treatment from the Hudson Medical Institute is all that could be expected or desired by any one. Your medicine has established a perfect cure in_ my case which I hope will be permanent. Iam unable to suMciently praise it, but suffice it to say that [ feel in every respect asa man should. Yours repectfully. GEonGE H. RICE. There is truth in a nutshell. Not a word is wasted, and yet Mr. Rice has said all that was necessary. He is a keen, clear- headed man. But there are plenty of others who indorse all that he has said. S. M. Hooker of Los Angeles writes: “I no feel as though I was a cured and a well ma Fratik Minturn of St. Louis, Mo., says have not felt so well in five years as I do now Robert Ashurst Jr. of Panoche, Cal.: “Amno longer troubled with headache, backache or deep pains. 1 would not take $500 to relapse into the state I' was in before 1 commeuced your treatment.” A And still the testimony keeps pouring in! It never ceasesforasingle day. Files upon files of it were carefully laid away at first and now a whole room is devoted to letters from grateful cured patients.
