RUTHERFOED. THE FROST FIGHTERS. Visalia Orchardists Believe in the Lib- eral Use of Water. The question of how to preserve the fruit trees from being injured by frosis has caused much thinking and experi- menting on the part of California orchard- ists of late years. A number of these living in the vicinity of Visalia, Tulare County, believe that they have solved the problems. They tried smoking the or- chards during frosty weather untit the foliage was as smudgy as the roofsofa factory town, but to no purpose. At last these men made an experiment in the use of water, and during the cold snap in the middle of last monthlarge quantities of water were turned from the cana! upon the lands of Thomas & Son, D. C. Anderson, the Grant Oak_Fruit Com- pany, O. T. Lindsey'and 8. C. Brown. The ground was saturated with water on all these farms. The other orchardists surrounding used smoke. The results of the two experiments mav be seen at the State Board of Trade rooms, at 16 Post street. Side by side are quantities of sam- ples of deciduous fruits, received vester- day by express. Thoseupon which smoke | was used show plainly that the object was | not attained, while the fruits on the irri- | zated lands are as fresh and bright as | though there Lad been no kiiling frosts where they came from. The irrigators are sati-tied that they can successiully fight frosts with water. Among the new fruits from the ranch of | Thomas & Son is the prunus cardie, one of the prune family, originally from the northern part of China. It is helieved that it will be a success in this State. A fine consignment of almonds was re- ceived yesterday from the Armstrong | orchard in San Joaquin County. Several splendid samples of gold ore came in from Placer County. The delegation from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, which was to have attended the opening of the rooms on Thursday, made an inspection of the ex- hibits yesterda; s T Used Canceled Stamps. D. N. de Blumford, 541 Clipper street, who was arrested Thursday night, appeared beiore Judge Morrow vesterday and was held to answer to sundry charges contained in & secret indictment filed by the United States Grand Jury on Monday last. The principal charge age inst ¥lumford is thatof using canceled stamps. ‘lhe complaint alleges that while a resident of Sisson, Siskiyou County, the pris- oner took certain 1 and 2 cent canceled stamps and by the aid of chemicals succeeded in removing the cancellation marks. The penalty for such offense is from six to twelve months, or & fine of from 100 to $500, or both. There are seven counts against Blumford. mosmram Committed to the Asylum. Judge Morrow signed an order yesterday committing A. W. Bowman, charged with sending indecent matter through the matls, to the asylum at Ukiah. He will be taken to Ukiah by Deputy Marshai Moffitt this morn- ing. “THE CALLY’ RACING CHART. C ifornia Jockey Club's Spring Meeting, Bay District Track. Fourteenth day. Friday, RACED FOR CHEAP PURSES Four Favored Ones in the Bet- ting Managed to Beat Their Fields. PERU STRUCK EASY COMPANY. My Sweetheart, Myrtle H and Sen- ator Bland Were All Winners at Long Prices. A conglomeration of good and bad race horses contested for purse§ at the Bay District track yesterday. The events de- cided were all at distances I, than a mile and in most instances the¥ields were large. First choices made e than a stand-off of it, capturing four out of the seven races run. In the way of long shots Myrtle H car- ried off first honors by taking the fifth race at odds of 15 to 1,while My Sweetheart and Senator Bland both won the events in which they started at odds of 10 and 12 to 1 respectively. The opening six-furlong dash saw Rapido go to the post a 314 to 1 choice over the other thirteen starters, but failed to get a mark. At the end, the outsider, My Sweetheart, won very handily from Cpinook, who had made most of the run- maidens faced the barrier in the four-furlong dash for two-year-olds. Viking, backed down from fours to a 13 to 5 favorite, was away first, ana won gallop- ing, with Santa Paula finishing in the place. ahead of Jerilderio. The poor start to the third race, a six- farlong spin, nndoubted]! contributed to the favorite’s success. Wandering Nun of Argyle was sent to the post a 9 to 10 chance, and aided by the poor start headed Gracie 8 in the stretch and passed the wire a length before the 11 to 5 second choice Zobair, who was away from the post poorly. Jerome 8 was left at the post. The seven-furlong run decided over the inside course clearly demonstrated how greatly the 9 to 10 choice Peru outclassed his field. Interfered with at the start and compelled to fall back to last place, he soon moved uv to second position, and taking the lead from Miss Ruth when headed for the wire romped in as he El:ased. a length in front of the mare. imer F was third. The winner, entered to be sold for $300, was bid up to $800 by the owner of Miss Ruth, the stable retaining the colt witi the usual $5 bid. Sixteen ‘“crabs’’ started in the five-fur- long dash that came next. A wild plunge was made on Senator Mahoney, cutting his odds from 3to 2to 1, and he finished third. Myrtle H,a 15 to 1 shot, cleverly piloted by Ike Johnson, passed the judges at the finish an easy winner over Mollie R. The crowd could see nothing in the sixth race but Rebellion, the other starters all being neglected in the betting in the rush to get aboard the good thing, who was backed down from 7105 to even money. Virgie A, Decision and Doubtful made the running to the stretch, where Senator Bland came strong on the oatside, and, taking the lead, beaded the favorite out, who came fast the last furlong, a length at rolled in, with La Mascota getting the place from Morven in adrive. LW00D DEALFRS PROTEST. \They Want Street Peddlers to Pay the Same License as Other Venders., A petition signed by more than a hun- dred wood and coal dealers protesting against the selling of wood by peddlers without licences was sent to the Board of Supervisors yesterday. The protesting merchants stated that the street wood venders were seriously in- juring their business, being able to under- sell the yards througzh not baving to pay licenses, and that some would have to go out of pusiness if the practice was not stopped. 3 The petitioners asked for relief and re- ques the board to compel peddlers of wood to pay the $10 per quarter demanded of other street venders. e WENTOUTUNDER PROTEST Superintendent Weaver of the Almshouse Was Deposed Yesterday. Edward Reddy, the New Appointee, Now in Charge of the City Poorhouse. The control of the Almshouse changed hands yesterday as peaceably and quietly as though there was to be no bitter lezal battle over the superintendency, and to all in- tents and purposes Edward Reddy, the gentleman appointed by the Board of Health to succeed P. L. Weaver, isin full possessicn. ‘When Mr. Reddy and his brother, who also acted as his aitorney, arrived at the Almshouse yesterday morning they were courteously received by Mr. Weaver, who descended the stairs to meet them. The entire party adjourned to the super- intendent’s office, where Mr. Reddy made a formal demand for the control of the in- stitution, stating that he had been ap- pointed by the Board of Health and pre- senting his commission. £ +I know that you haye been appointed,” said Mr. Weaver, “but 1 deny the legality of the entire proceeding, and T desire to reserve all of my legal rights.” Attorney Reddy then took a hand in the conversation and s. that as a contest was inevitable it would be better to have the matter amicably arranged. His brother, he said, had no intention of in- terfering with any of Mr. Weaver’s legal rights. ‘Tt was then agreed that in order to pro- tect Mr. Weaver in bis contest the for- mality of an ejectment should be gone through. Accordingly Mr. Weaver was escorted out of the building, Mr. Reddy’'s hand resting lightly on his shoulder. This ceremony having been performed, Mr. ‘Weaver was invited to return as a private citizen, and all went back to the office to talk over the affairs of the institution. Mr. Reddy told the employes that he was the superintendent and instructed them to obey his orders and no others. Certain of the books of the office had been locked up in the safe of which Mr. Weaver alone bas the key, and it was agreed that they should remain there vending a declsion in the case.

This greatest of all blood purifiers and restorers of nervous energy; this remedy which is to-day in greater demand than all the so-called spring remedies put to- gether— This Paine’s celery compound, which was first discovered and prescribed by America’s most eminent physician, that giaut among medical scientists of this pro- gressive aze, Prof. Hdward E. Phelps, M.D,, LL.D., of Dartmouth College— . This remedy, which has been a blessing to thousands upon thousands of homes in every State and city of the country, which has been ener etically indorsed by the ablest physicians, which has received thousands of heartfelt testimonials from women and men in every station in life, and has been publicly recommended with- out solicitation by persons of such high character that they are honored by the whole nation—this remedy that makes people well, has received so many letters in its praise within the last two or three months, coming in every mail from every section of the country—tbat it would be impossible to print them allin the daily is- sue of any one paper. Mr. Hearst's great paper, the Journal, in New York, the Globe and the Journal in Boston, Mr. Kohlsaat’s powerful Times- ‘within a month, devoted from one to three pvages at a time to the most remarkable canvass ever made of the druggists in the great cities. And their best reporters, un- prejudiced one way or another, have found that the druggists are meeting not only a | larger demand than ever before for this | one remedy, but that this demand—be- cause Paine’s celery compound cures V7 where everything else fails—is so far greater to-day than that of any other remedy that it bag no competitor. Among the thousands of testimonials tnat bave been received by the proprietors of Paine’s celery compound this spring none have been more noteworthy than those that come from the national capital. The enthusiastic letters of Judge Powers and of Congressman Grout were recently published in this paper. likeness of one of the ablest members on the Democratic side of the House, a leader of acknowledged ability, a personal [riend of the President, a man of great weight— Congressman Elisha E. Meredith of V. ia. A letter from him, dated Februa rom the House of Representative: After a fair trial I have no hesitation ying that I believe Paine’s celery compound all that is claimed for it, and it gives me pleasure to commend it.” A letter from Congressman Robert Neill of Arkansas contains tbe followin, **My home is at Batesville Ark. During the lasy spring and summer my eldest daughter, then 17 years of age, was in very poor health, suffering from general debility, nervous prostration and frequent slight fevers. Sbhe bad the best medical attention, but apparently with little bene- fit. In the latter part of September last, while stiil feeble, she began the use of Paine’s celery compound and improved in health continuously. In three months she had fully recovered and is still in perfect health. ]am bound to think the remedy is an excellent one and do not hesitate to recommend it to the suffering." Lieut. C. A. McAliister, writing from Hotel Oxford, Marc : 28, said: *‘For several years past I have been a suf- ferer from severe atiacks of dyspepsia, caused by 100 close attention to ‘business., On the advice of a physician I took sev- eral bottles of Paine’s celery compound, and have been greatly benelited thereny. Since the first of last September I have gained 25 pounds, and am now feeling in first-rate health. C. A. McAllister, “First Assistant Engineer, U.S.R.C,8.” Hon. John C. Bell, member of Congress from Coiorado, in a letter to Wells & Above is a good | '///'/,/ NG Richardson Co., about the same time told how he had used three bottles of Paine’s ceiery compound for dyspepsia and rheumatism with satisfactory results.

T FLYNN 1S ACQUITTEL Judge Lowe Says He Did Not Do Away With Baby Browning. Verdict a Source of Gratification to the Accused’s Numerous Friends. J. T. Flynn, the newspaper man and real estate agent charged with being the father and murderer of Mrs. Browning’s baby, which was found dead in a satchel at tie corner of Twelfth and Market streets four weeks ago, was discharged a free man by Police Judge Lowe yesterday afternoon. ‘Che examination, continued from the 8th, was resumed yesterday morning. The defense called Mrs. Woods to the stand, and she testified that Mrs. Browning and a man named Delick took rooms at her lodging-house, 1135 Mission street, early in 1804, and lived as husband and wife until January of this year. Tighe, the man with whom Flynn had spent the night of April 12, testified to seeing 4 woman come out of one of the flats in the 100 block on Ninth street. He could not swear positively that she came from 130—Mrs. Browning’s piace of abode— but he thought she did. He also saw Fiynn pass down the street with a woman, He did not know who the woman was, Fiynn was with him during the night. He told witness about his friend being sick, and having to go for a doctor; but did not say what was the nature of her ailment. The prosecution attempted to show by the witness that Flynn had avoided his usual baunts for seéveral days after the discovery of the dead babe, of whose paternity he was accused, bur Mr. Tighe was u disappointment. He tesufied that he had met his friend in the usual places the day following and for several days after. The cross-examination failed to shake the witness’' testimony, and Judge Lowe discharged the prisoner without bearing any argument. “There is nothing to show any connec- tion between the defendantand the mur- dered child,” remarked the court, “and I dismiss the case without comment." Flynn’s acquittal will be a source of fnufieanon to his many friends bere and n Portland.
