Gustave Gouch, one of the most prom- inent among the young attorneys of for- eien extraction, at present residing in this City, did not care to go deeply into the iject of the funding bill. In this instance,” he said, “I am com- ed to reveal the fact that I have never scen a government run a railroad ny other venture as cheaply as bv a private concern. In Germany and Prussia, where the roads, er most of them, are in the hards of the Government, the cost of running is excessive. But the reason of tuis is that tiey were obtained for the pur- vose of unification and military use, not @5 a speculative move.

Tt is brought to my notice, especially, every time I have oceasion to ride in a trolly-car on a wet day. I have frequently received a stinging shock by taking hold of the brass rail as [ swung myself aboard. My feet are wel, you see, and water is so good a conductor that a ground connection is established with myself as part of the circuit. The sensation is quite enough to be disagree- able, 1 ure you. “The metal doorsill, too, is another place where the current leaks out. Since I discovered that by personal experience L have often amused myself by watching the people who enter and leave the car. If they step over the wet threshold well and good, but if their feet touch it they are likely to get some of the superfluous power. Then the expression on their faces 1s ludicrous. Most of them look completely bewildered, as if they didn’t know what had struck them, and I suppose they don't for tha instant. “Those are not the only places where there is free electricity, either. In my own office I can get as severe a shock as I could from a battery. In one of the incandes- cent light fixtures there is a spot where the current escapes. in great force. By tonching this place with a key, a knife or any bit of metal, and resting my other handon the iron of the steam radiator near by, I can take a shock of such power | as to burn my hand and make me drop the experiment in a hurry. The otherday half a dozen of us ned hands and formed a line between the two places. The man at one end held a key to the fixture, and the fellow at the other end laid his | hand on the radiator. You would hardly iow strong the current was. Our hands seemed suddenly gripped together, | nd aiter we let go our fingers tingled | for minutes from the effects. | I have often thought that a computa- tion of the amount of unused electric force there is around us would be interestine. There must be numbers of other places that I have never noticed where it escapes, and I suppose there isno doubt that in the aggregate the power wasted would be suffi- nt to zccomplish a tremendous amount | of work.”—New York Tribune.

A BRILLIANT SOCIAT, EVENT. Lovely Decorgtiuns of the Concordia Clubhouse, Where the Ceremony Took Place. Under the softened glow of countless fairy lamps and twinkling wax-lights, in a bower of fragrant buds and blossoms, Miss Gertrude Naphtaly and Lionel B. Feigen- baum spoke to each other last night the for life. The wedding took place in the elegant home of the Concordia Club, at the mnter- section of Post street and Van Ness avenue. The decorations of the building | | solemn, binding words which united them | | more extensively prepared here is due | largely to the peculiar desire evinced by the people to purchase goods prepared in foreign countries. It seems strange to think that people should be raled by such afancy to an extent suflicient to affect the sale of fruit to an appreciable extent, but such is the fact. It would be more cor- rect to say, “fruit which the people pre- sume came from foreign countries,’” for it is a fact known to but Tew, and, as far as we know, now published for the first time, that large quantities of jams and preserves are sent in bulk to England by Cali- fornia fruit-packing firmis, there” to be placed in jars by a iruit’packing house whose name is familiar the worid around and sent out under foreign labels as Eng- lish goods. This “English” product may be purchased in every principal city in California, and thousands of consumers unwittingly pay freight acrossthe ocean and return, besides the tariff and dealers’ profits, upon fruit that was raised in their neighbors’ orcbards. There is a great op- portunity for fruit-growers to secure the profits which rightfully belong to them | through proper organization and 2 close | study of ‘the situation. They could not | only more profitably co-operatively ean | their fruits, but, by sencing out their own agents, more economicaily market them. i A campaign of education along the line of methods employed in growing fruit in Cal- ifornia, and in its preparation for market, would not be amiss. The results would be | more satisfactory stll if the lecture were | illustrated with stereopticon views of or- | chards and drying-grounds, | Farming Interests ia Siskiyou. | The recent storms and continued cold weather have made hay and grain com- | mand better prices, from the fact that no one 1 tell how long ‘the win- | ter will last. If we have an early spring, there will no doubt be-a sur- plus, but if late, there will only be enough for stock on' hand. Alfalfain baine, isnow keld at $10 per ton, or abont double the summer rates, without any inclination to sell even at that figure, on account of the possessors fearing they may need it for their own stock. Someranchers have been purchasing st cattle and feeding out their hay, in the expectation of prices get- ting better, but there is no raise yet, which caused sales at last fall prices. Others ho have the hay to feed, intend holding out until late, exvecting to make sales at big prices in su}m ving the northern mar- kets at Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. In the way of grain there does not seem | to be much demana, but prices are firm at higher rate than during last fall, the | grain sales depending mainly on our lim. The “hello girls” must learn telegraphy. | The word has gone forth, and it will not months before the telephone | wires through the entire State will be carrying telegraph messages, ticked off by the girls who, heretofore, have only been required to say: “What number, sir? Six-three? There you are.” The lines will still be used to talk over. But a telephone wire has what is known | as a *‘telegraph side,” that is to s: message can be ticked over it while a con- versation 1s being held on the same line. In fact, two messages can be sent, because each of the two wires, one going out and one returning, which are essential to com- plete a te'ephone circuit, makes a tele- | graph circuit. The work done by telegraph will at first be entirely for the company. No outside messages will be received—at least, not until November of tnis year. This is be- cause of an agreement between the tele- phone and the Western Union people. Telephone Company will become an zetive rivai of the Western Union ana the Pacific | Postal Telegraph companies. With a com- plete plant doing the work of two com- | panies, no extra expense for linemen and operators, the Telephone Company would make large profits transmitting telegraph | messages. | At present the officers of the company | | refuse to say whether they are going to | take advantage of this opportunity to util- | ize the full capacity of their plant, “There is one thing you may be sure of,” | said John I. Sabin, who is the president as | well as thie zeneral manager of the Pacific | Telephone Company; * that is that it will | | not be long before candidates for positions | to take charge of telephones will be re- | quired to be expert telegraph operators.” |~ *Is it true that you have required all | your girls to begin learning telegraphy ?” vas asked. : o | "“XNot ail of them,” he said. “We are | going to make use of our wires 1o expedite messages by means of telegraphy. So the only ones whom we have required to learn | the art are the girls employed in the “Sunset” division. | Mr. Sabin then explained the use of the | | two wires to complete the circuit. Each of | | these wires 1s capable of carrying a mes- | sage sent with a ticker while a person is z over it: This system had been ed for some time on the lines between San Francisco and Stocktonand San Fran- cisco and Oakland. “We have been taking advantage of the telegraphic possibilities of the wire to as- sist in sending telephone messages for | some time,” he said. “In fact, the idea origirated here, and it was only a few months ago thatit was put in operation in the East. i “They have used the ‘telegraph side’ of their wireg there to great pr though, seliing thel to some business house or news company. We have not been able do that. w"\'ou see,” he added, “the Western Union Company held the coast rights to | the Edison patents in the beginning. We held the Bell patents. Then the Western | | Union Company disposed of its patent rights to us with the agreement that we | were not to use our lines for commercial | telegraphy during_a given period. This eriod expires in November, 1896. “Will you then enter into competition with the Western Union and Postal Tele- | graph companies in the transmission of‘ messages?”’ was asked. | ] can't say anything about that now,” said Mr. Sabin, ‘‘because I don’t know.” “But vou are as well equipped for the | work as the other compunies, are you ot?"’ Bt As well equipped?” he replied. “Why, | we have the best plant in the State to-day. | No other company has nearly as good | poles or wire. We would have-.to make | absolutely no addition to our plant, since, for our own use, we_are going to_ supply | the offices in the different towns with tele- | graph instruments.” i e, 'IHEA JOCULAR DENTIST. He Says That He Will Not Be So Funny Again. The dentist was torturing his victim in the ysual fashion. The story he was telling at that moment was on himself. “When I was young in the profession,” said he, “I was working in a country place for a few weeks to help a friend. One day a farmer came in—a big, mascular chap, full-blooded—one of the sort whose teeth come like the roots of oak trees. *‘As he sat in the chair he asked, ‘Will | it hurt? | “Feeling-in rather a jocular mood, 1 an- swered, ‘Well, if it doesn’t it sha’n’t cost you anything.” Then I fell to work. ““The tooth came out even harder than I expected, so as the man got uf) from the | chair and puiled himself together—he had | not uttered a sound—I said, ‘Well, didit | burt? *Not a bit,” answered the countryman, | and strode out of the office, leaving me minus a fee. completely nonplused, and | the laughing stock of my iriend and the two or three patrons who sat about the office. “I have never tried to be funny pro- fessionally since,” said he meditatively.— Tit-Bits, After November it is probable that the | T while profuse were in the most perfect taste. The guests entered under a canoy of crimson cloth into the main entran hall, which, like the landings of the wide | staircases, was adorned by numerous | potted palms, the window-seats and man- tels by nked with rare’exotics in rich | settings of ferns and mosses. The prom- rounding the main ballroom was ransformed into an avenue of palms and | tiny cedars, amid which shone electric | lights and countless flowers, producing an fiect uniquely beautiful. v after 8 o'clock the bridal proces- | ered the ballroom, where the mar- | riage ceremony performed. Little | Erma Clayburg and Aimee Schmitt, a flower-girls, escorted by Master Robert | Roos, locked charming in their daint: frocks of filmy silk tissue. The ushers, who came next in line, were: Samuel Naphtaly, Morris Towensteln, Sanford sicn en oewe and George Roos, and_as the only men, all that tumes is that they dress the othier male guests. The bridesmaids, however, looked charm- ing in their exquisite toilettes of pale rose satin ana delicate blonde Jac O} ried a large bouquet of La France roses surely no fairer than the six society buds | who “bore them—Miss May Schlesinger, | Miss Hilda Brown, Miss Mabel Gerst, M Edith Schmi fiss Elsie Cook and M Rose G The maid of honor, M Dorothy Herrmann, in a simple yet cffec- | tive costume of -white chiffon, walked alone, bearing a cluster of pure white roses. The bride ertered leaning on the arm of her father, Joseph Naphtaly, the well- | known attorney. Her dress of lustrous | white satin was almost severe in its mag- | nificent simplicity. About the square-cut | corsage was a girlish-looking garniture of | pointappiique lace, which fell in shim- mering folds almost to the tiny white-shod | feet, which now and then peeped forth as | though to catch a glimpse of what was going on. The bride’s veil was of filmy silk net and fell in ctoud-like billows over the long court train. She carried a bou- quet of lilies of the valley and wore a | girdle of orange blossoms. The Rev. Dr. Voorsanger received the vows of the happy pair. The groom was | atiended by Julius Feigenbaum as best | man. The scene was strikingly beautiful. Five chandeliers, in which were as many hundred wax lights, were connected with | each other by graceful, flashing festoonsof | star-like electric lights, intertwined with | smilax. The bridal canopy was of white silk, embowered in verdant palms and ferns, amid which hung three floral bells, and illuminated by the veiled radiance of fairy lamps, sbaded by tiny globes of white, blue and gold. 3 As 'the bridal party entered “Balten- | berg’s orchestra rendered the wedding | march from “Lohengrin,” and at the close of the ceremony the ‘‘Cavalleria Rusti- cana” overture. After the ceremony congratulations and | dancing were in order. At 11 o'clock the | guests, to the number of 350, sat down to a sumptuous repast in the banquet-hall, which Lad been magnificently adorned for the occasion. Back of the seats occupied by the bride and groom the letters “F°’ and *N” combined in a graceful mono- gram outlined in goldep fairy lamps shone forth acainst a background of dark-green ferns. Morris Schmitt, the bride’s uncle, acted as toast-master and master of cere- monies, covering himself with distinction in either role. The bride’s health was drunk twice, it being her twentieth birth- day as well as her wedding day. After supper dancing was resumed and kept up until the rosy streaks in the Bast warned the merry-makers that the marriage ieast was over. FACTS FOR THE FARNMERS. Sad Experience With the “ Un- Teliable” Commission Merchant. id of their ci Effect of the Recent Weather Upon the Hay and Grain Prices in the State. It isnot always wise to try to farm too much land. There are thousands of farm- ers who pay taxes upon iand which brings to them no income whatever. Every farmer ought to know exactly what it costs him to raise a horse, a cow, a chicken, or an acre of wheat. A time comes in the life of all livestock when they cannot longer be kept profitably. Thev should be disposed of before they reach | that age. The celebrated orange marmalade pre- pared in Dundee, Scotland, is made from the Seyille or bitter orange. If marmalade may be profitably manufactured in a country which produces no oranges, it surely ought to be a profitable business in Feigenbaum, L. B.

Pork is s0 cheap this year that there is no money in fattening "hogs except for the home market, while horses aiso are just as cheap, since the teaming, staging and traveling have been superseded by the rail- roads, bicyeles and electric motors, to ren- der horses 1 needed. The winter so far suits the farmers very well, especially those who have winter crops in the ground, and should we have continued storms at intervals during the balance of the winter and in the spring, the spring erops are alss likely to turn ou better prospects for advanced prices next vear.— Yreka-Journal. The Commission Business. Many farmers snd fruit-growers have had sad experience with unreliable com- mission men. It is a very common thing for the grower to receive a note stating that “‘owing to the depressed condition of the market,” etc., thejproduce not only did not sell for an amount sufiicient to pay for freight and commissions. Mrs. M. G. Norton of Wrights Station, Santa Clara County, recentiy shipped some frait to Trobock & Bergen of San Francisco. Surprised at the low price received she in- vestigated the muiter, and charges that the firm sold a portion of the fruit for a higher price than was returned upon the account of sales. The firm justifies its course upon the ground that the sale com- plained of was a single box, and it was proper and usual in such cases to charge the customer the retail price and to make the return ata wholesale price. The Higu- land Grange, of which Mrs. Norton is a member, claims that Trobock & Bergen are guilty eof embezzlement, and have taken steps having for their object a thorough investigation. Of Interest to Wheat=Growers. Tulare Grange wishes to inform the wheat and barley growers of California, through the columns of TwE CaLy, what has been done towar@ greater production of these important food products at the ex- perimental station in Tulare County. Nearly all the agricultural writers of the press, the statisticians of the staple products of agriculture, as well as the de- partment at Washington, have endcav- ored to show that the day of profitable wheat and barley growi especially wheat, was past, and the arrey of figures and apparent {ficts presented were enough to cause the farmer to 1ook at wheat-grow- ing for a protit with a doubt that has made | many of them partially abandon that line of industry. Some philanthropic writers would say that owing to the hisher intelligence of our California farmer and is quickness to adopt labor- saving device in seeding and har- vesting his crop, wheat would have to go lower in price than it has yet, or that it seems at present likely to, before the wheat-growers of ‘our State would be crowded to the wall by the cheap padrone labor of Argentina or Ryot labor of India, and then at the same time pre- sent figures of the small cost of wheat per bushel to the grower in those countries, thus upsetting all their efforts at philan- thropy. Nearly all the writers along the line of the idea that California wheat- growers cannot, at the present market price, compete h other newly developed countries employing cheaper labor, must have arrived at their concluson from a one-sided view of the matter. Some one has said *‘that many farmers would rather dig fi‘teen hours a day than think five minutes.” This may or may not be applicable to some ot our wheat-growing farmers, but one of the facts that can be proved is that the average annual production per acre of wheat in our State has notexceeded twelve bushels for several years past. It scems now from daia gattiered from the experi- mental station in Tulare that this out- come of the wheat farmer is not to be at- tributed to any impoverishment of soil, but must be laid at the door of poor farm- ing methods. One variety of wheat, Royal California, which not only produces Australian, tested last season at .this sta- { Souvenir. | oranges, but sugar as well. That it is not | tion, vielded at the rate of eighty-four bushels to the acre, while another yariety, designated ‘“‘California wheat,” yiclded sixty-nine bushels. Himalaya bavley vielded seventy-six sacks of 150 pounds each per acre. With these resalts at- tained_ by the system of preparing the | ground, which was in deep plowing and cross-plowing before planting in drills, and then offering the seed in small quantities free of charge, there were scarcely any farmers that availed them- selves of this opportunity to better their condition. Some few took the seed, put it on the shelf, forgot to plant it, or said they did; some refused to try it, because they could not get enough to sow forty acres. The soil of this station is what we know as alkali, and everybody else knows it as alkah, excepting the Real Estate Fresnoan, who sometimes calls it “‘white ash,” when he has a prospective buyer in tow. Iisuch results as are herein given are anyway near atiainable by the average grain- grower of California, many years will roll around before the competitive wheat- growing countries can push such a farmer in our State to the wall; but there is one fact that must not be overlooked—scratch- ing the ground with some of the gang- plows now in vogue will never realize any sixty-nine bushels of wheat to the acre in very little weak ammonia will. Yesterday cans in which had been shipped us some first quality of honey. We were suspicious of the flavor, and hence decided to in- vestigate. The top being removed, we found that a thin Eeposil of black grease clung to all the six sides of the can.” Hot water would not budge it. I then told one of the boys to get one of our 20-cent bottles, holding nearly a quart of ammonia. | It is rather weaker than the ordinary com- mercial arti g | purposes. ‘Two tablespoonsfuis ‘of this | were thrown into the topless can. After | shaking itaround for a minute, the black | grease came off entireiy, and the sides of the can were as bright and clean 2s a dol- lar. Iam not sure but thata single ta spoonful of commercial ammonia, mixed with about halfa cup of water, would do the same. Remove the cap, pour in the liquid, screw the cap down, and then give the cun a good shaking. If this does not remove a lot of blgek, greasy, inky-look- ing substance, then it will not do as it has done for us here at the Home of the Honey-bees. I should like to have some of our friends in California try this, and then scald out with hot water and let the cans stand upside down to drain. It may be argued that, on a carload of cars, it would make the ammonia rather expensive. A day’s time, and about a dollar’s worth of ammonia, according to our markets, in its original form, will make enou=lh to renovate a whole carload of cans. This ‘expense is small in com- parison with the ultimate reduction of a cent a pound ‘on - California extracted honey. TUnless old cans are renovated by an alkali, like ammonia, or new.cans are used, the beekeepers of California will be doing themselves irreparable damage, Cost of Fruit and Berry Boxes.
