Poverty and Famine Cause the Revival of an Inhuman Practice. Brokers Grow Rich Through De- testable Trafficking in Human Sou's. TACOMA, Wasm., Nov. 20.—The steamer Howick Hali has arrived from Shanghai bringing news of the revival of a terrible practice by farmers inhabiting the plains region of Manchuria. Their poverty was greatly increased by the Chino-Japanese war, and later tribal wars bave decimated their numbers and reduced them to posi- * tive wapt. The.result has been the re- newal of the ancient cnstom ef selling their children to slaye brok rs. In the original purchase girls from 5 to 12 years of age are sold for sums equiva- lent td one or' two shillings’each. By the brokers they are. resold ior from four to eight shillings. The experiences tbat be- fall the children at the hands of the trad- ers cause them to live in intense dread of their owners, so that whenever they are disobedient the threat that they will be handed back to'their brokers is sufficient to render them entirely docile. The :“money which the farmers receive for their children is spent forfooa or seed grain. The children are taken off to towns where scores of them are collected and trained to sing and dance. The prettiest girls are taken in small parties to seaport cities of China, where vigorous efforts are ‘made to keep secret the nefarious traffic. Some of these girls, it is learned, are taken to India and as far as’ Constantino- ple. As a rule they are pretty, having oval faces, large bodiés and fair complex- ions. The plainer girls and boys are “trained to work and sold to wealthy peo- ple in Manchuria and surrounding prov- inces, Many hegrtrending scenes are reported from tiie slave markets. Mothers pleaa to be sold with theirchildren, and "there are - gifls who prefer death to the life they . know is in store for them. Others take their Jselling into siavery as a matter of course and make no complaints. They are better fed and dressed by the slave- brokers than by their parents. Missionaries in the-coast provintes have recently received detailed reports of the detestable traffic. They are preparing to send -some of their members into Man- churia to aid in suppressing it. It is the general opinion among them that radical measures must be taken to induce the Chinese Government to aid the Manchur- ian farmers. SAN BERNARDINO ACCIDENT. J. W. Harris of Colton Fails Under the Wheels of a Wagon and Is Crushed \ to Death. SAN BERNARDINQ, Carn., Nov. 28.— -~J. W. Harris of Colton was thrown from his wagon last evening as he was driving homeward from this city and killed. The accident occurred a few hundred yards pelow the E-street station of the Santa Fe, about 6 o’clock. The driver of a deliv- ery wagon was delivering groceries when he discovered the body of a man lying on the motor track. Thinking- that the pros- -irate man must be intoxicated, and know- ing that the motor train was almost due, . he stopped.his horse &nd stooped over to liit Harris from therails when he discov- . ered that instead of being intoxicated ke .was seriously hurt and uncenscious, He placed the-injured man in the wagon and drove at once to the City Hall, where an improyised bed was’made for the injured man. Physiciane were summoned, andan ex- amination showed that the wheel of a heavily loaded wagon had passed across Harris’ chest, crushing the ribs and spine. Not from the time of discovery until he breathed his last, at 9:30 o’clock. did Har- Tis regain consciousness. .A hack was sent to Colton for his .wife, daughter and son, and they remained atthe stricken man’s side until the last watching his labored breathing and hopirg for some sign of recognition, which never came. A short time before 6 o'clock Harris was seen driving from this city with a heavy load of lumber. It is supposed that he fell from the wagon at the place where found and that the rear wheel passed over him. Ina few minutes more the motor train would have passed over him, and the real cause of his death would probably never have been known. ISR SANTA CEUZ RECEPTION, Mayor and Councilmen Entertained by the Fire Department. SANTA CRUZ, Carn., Nov. 29.—A. re- ception and house warming was given by the Santa Cruz Fire Department last even- ipg to the Mayor and City Council.

Mercury Reaches the Lowest Point Ever Recorded in* the State—Suffering at Spokane. PORTILAND, Ogr., Nov. 20.—Oregon i} having the coldest weather ever experi- enced in the Staie so early in the season. Navigation ig seriously impeded on !,he Columbia® River by reason of floating ice. Lewis River 1s frozen over. Vancouver, Wash., has been cut off from the outside world, " the ferry and river boats being un- able to_cross. The Government locks are frozen fast, and reports from Willamette Valley points say the lowest temperature ever known there is recorded. At Pendle- ton it is 10 degrees below zero, and 12 at Baker City, while all along east of the Cascades the temperature is below zero. The average témperature to-day and last nizht was 12 and 13 degrees above zero. SPOKANE, V . Nov. 29.—Indica- tions to-night are for moderate weather. The cold weather of the past few days has done a great deal of damage in Eastern Washingion "and Northern ldsho. Re- ports now coming in from the country are to the effect that large numbers of cattle and horses have been frozen to déath. In the mining camps work has been practi- cally suspended. Every gne is trying to keep warm. There has been. considerable suffering in the city, as the cold snap was unexpected. .The mercury was at 13 de- grees below zero this mcrning, while re- ports irom outside towns say that it has fallen to 35 below in places. S CLAKAMAS FISH EXTERMINATED. Hundreds of Thousands of Young Salmon in the Hatchery Die in Poisoned . Waters. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 20.—While the workmen at the Clakamas hatehery were al supper to-night all of the live salmon that were in the hatching trays were killed. Abaut 600,000 were destroyed, but how or by whom is unknown. It is suspected that the water was poisomed. Some of it hasbcen saved for an analysis, though most of the water in which the fish died had escaped before the sample was taken. A few tests have been applied to the water that was saved without dis- covering the nature of the poison. These make 1,600,000 young salmon that have died at the hatchery this month. About a montb ago several hundred thou- sand young fish were killed in a mysterous manner. Superintendent Hubbard pro- fesses to be in ignorance of the cause of killing ofthe fish. An investigation may be instituted by the United States au- thorities. NEW EPISCOPAL YEAR. Confirmation Services Yesterday at the Church of the Advent, Yesterday, the first Sunday in Advent, was the beginning of the new year.in the affairs of the Protestant Episcopal denom- ination, and the occasion was observed in all the churches of that faith, In the Church of ‘the Advent, on Elev- enth street, near Market, a number of young people were confirmed at the close of the morning services. Therites of con- firmation were celebrated by Right Rev.. William Ford Nichols, Bishop of the dio- cese, assisted by Rev. James A. Emery, the rector, Rev. Hobart Chetwood, Rev. Henry B. Menges and Rev. K. N. Mikami of the Episcopal Japanese Mission. There were twenty-one persons of both sexes confirmed;, among whom were five young Japanese irom the mission. The services, which were.very impres- sive, were opened by the rector, Mr. Emery, followed by a full sarpliced choir of thirty-eight male voicés in the hymn, “‘The Lord is in His Holy Temple.” Then foliowed the lesson by Rev. Mr. Chetwood, and the prayer by Rev. Mr. Mengés. The obligations and invocations of the con- firmation were administered by Bishop Nichols to the candidates kneelinz at the chancel rail: _ In his eloguent address he spoke of the necessity of their vigilance in the new line as neophites in the church that they might live conscientiously. ‘Conscience, however,” said he, “will not exist without effort any niore than the mind will expand without proper traih- ing. Asthe mental is nurtured in the school, so is the conscience nurtured in the church. ’In unholy environments conscience bécomes weak and speaks faintly to the wrongdoer. So, in the be- ginning of this, our new church year, start forward to a richerand higher Chris- tian experience.” At the close of the hymn, “My Faith Looks Up to Thee,” the benediction was pronounced and the congregation was dis- missed. 2 ——————— THE FEAST OF DEDIOATION. To Be Observed by the Jewish Congre- gations During the Week. Yesterday was the first day of the He- brew- Chenucha festival, or, as it is freely rendered in English, “The Feast of Dedi- cation,” and eometimes ‘“The Feast of Lights.” It will pe observed throughout the seven days of the week. The Chanucha festival is not properly religious in character, and has the very reverse of a'melancholy signification. It is, in fact, the commemoration of an event in Jewish history—the victory of Judas Maccabeus over Antiochus, King of Syria. That autocratic monarch de- sired the Jews to worship his favorite god Jupiter and sought to desecrate the Jewish temple at Jerusalem by removing the symbols of the Hebrew faith'and substi- tuting therefor a golden image of the Grecian deity. Judas Maccabeus, the valiant champion of the Jewish pecple, resorted to the ar- bitrament of battle and overcame Antio- chus. The temple was subsequently re-. dedicated on the 25th day. of Kislev, as it is called in the Jewish calendar. The holy oil was replaced and the lights re-lit, and bence the name the anniversary of that occasion bears. The observance of the Chanucha festival assumes a simple but poetic form. , Every nousehold is illuminated throughout the week, commencing with one light the first day, until on the seventh and last there are seven lights burming. Apart from this peculiar ceremonial the week is given up to the pleasures of social inter- course and reciprocal hospitality. In ad- dition to the regular services next Friday the Cily synagogues will present specially prevared programmes during the week in which the children of the congregations will take a prominent part. At the Geary-street Temple, of which Dr. M. 8. Levy is the rabbi, the annual exhibition wili be heid, commencing at 7 o'clock, The Chanucha hymn will besung by the congregation; a farce entitled “The Masked Ball” will then be pre~ sented, followed by the children’s doll drill and a tableau vivant entitled, **Women of Isrsel.” The annual distribu: tion of medals and prizes will afterward take place. Dr. Levy has chosen for his Jecture, “The Jew as'a Sotdier,” in which Judas Maccabeus will be referred to as the ideal ty pe. At the Temple Emanu-K( on Friday the children will ve present and w:ll join in ‘the singing. Rabbi Voor- sanger’s address is entitled: **Maccabee and Swords and the American Ballot.” ——————— TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY, Take layative BromoQuinine Tablets, All drug- gists refund the money if it iifll"‘o cure, 265‘ i | Ban Nicolas and Anacopa islands. VENTURA COUNTY'S - PRODUCTIVE SOIL Grows Anything From the Humble Bean to the ; Banana. Backed by a Climate Adapted to the Raising of All Kinds of Fruit. Picturesque Beauty of San Buenaven. tura, the County’s Seat of Government. g SAN BUENAVENTURA, Can, Now. Ventura County has a frontage on the Pacific Ocean of about seventy-five miles. It is bounded east by Los Angeles County, west by Santa Barbara County, north by Kern County snd south by the Pacific Ocean. There is perhabs no county in the State that has so’great a variety in soil and climate. In the iittle valleys back from the coast it is both warmer and colder than near the coast. These valleys i of bells to receive blessings from the good fathers, There are two Methodist, one Presby- terian, one Congregat onal and one Chris- 3ian chureh, all in a flourishing condition. The town has two fine public halls, three excellent hotels, two fine public school buildinge, one small primary school build- ing, and plans are now being arawn for a $12,000 or $15,000 high school building. The town owns its city hall and library building, and maintains a free public library of about 5000 voiumes. The reve- nue to support the library is derived from taxation. There are four excellent news- vapers, two banks, and all lines of mer- cantile houses where goods can be bought at Los Angeles prices. The streetsare lighted by arc light lamps, and offices and residences with incandescent lamps. There is ‘an abundance of pure water at reasonable rates. All the principal streets are graded and sidewalked. The public sewer system covers most of the town and is being extended yearly. The assessed valuation of the town for 1896 is $1,272,407; the tax rate, 65 cents; the bonded indebtedness is only $20,250. The Ventura Agricultural Association has an excellent mile race track with ample box stalls and line grand-stand in the lower part of the town. The sea bathing is not equaled by any town on the coast except Santa Barbara. In fact San Buena- ventura is strictly an up-to-date town with all accessories to luxury and ease and a climate unequaled even in Italy. Santa Paula, the second town of the county, lies .on the railroad sixteen miles eastol Ventura. Itisin thecenter of the best farming tand in the county and of the oil and petroleum region. Santa Paula isa lively town, and 1s growing rapidiy. Hueneme lies twelve miles southeasi of Ventura on the ocean beach. This is the greatest shipping point for grain on the whole coast., In the fall thereisa long line of six and eight horse tesms con- stantly arriving at Hueneme loaded with barley, beans, etc., and freight vessels come and go with the regularity of a pen- have the very best soil for oranges and | lemons, while olives, - prunes, grapes, apricots, applee, peaches, walnyts and pears flourish in the foothills. The rich loam of the valleys near the ocean is what has made Ventura County known as the best section in the worid for- beans. ‘Within the county linés are included Ana- copa“ is small and picturesque. It rises sheer.irom the blue waters of the ocean, and is crescent shaped, forming a beauti- ful harbor on the inner side, where the waters gently wash the rugged walls and fill the numerous coves that are the abode of sealsand sea lions. There is a smail beach where pleasure parties are landed. This island will soon become one of the most popular pleasure resorts on the coast. When the railroad . to the cele- brated Ojai Valley shall have been com- pleted it is proposed by citizens of Ven- tura to build a hotel on Anacopa and run |. a steam launch from Ventura' and Huen- eme to the island. All of the best food fishes are found in abundance in the channelt off Ventura, Hueneme and Santa Barbara. The de- licious pompano is caught by local fisher- men and shipped to Los Angeles and San Francisco. The establishment of can- neries isan inviting field for capital. - Ventura County is one of the best watered counties in the State. The Santa Clara River traverses the entire county fromn northeast to southwest and is fed by numerous. streams, chief of which are the Sespe, Santa ‘Paula and Pira. The Ventura River, a besutiful and rapid-flowing stream, noted as one of the best trout streams on the°coast, rises in the San Rafael range and flows nearly due south to the ocean. The scenery along the upper portions of this river is grand, The water is pure and sweet and in quantity sufficient to supply a city of 75,000 inhabitants. Itenters the ocean at Ventura. The soil of Ventura Cournty is very rich and will grow anything from beans to bananas. We raise wheat, corn, barley, oats, potatoes, and in' beans’ we beat the world. Our honey is unexcelled, and in fruits we raise oranges, Iémons, Iimes, apples, peaches, pears, prunes, apricots, plums, olives, grapes, walnuts and all berrie: Btatistics of products are tiresome and cannot be given in a short article. Tthe topography of the county is such that we have climate sunited to all” kinds of fruits, Our oil fields are well known.and the yield is enormous. We have & vest amount of asphaltnm of the best quality, gypsum, and an oil stone from which a fine quality of toilet soap is made. Our sandstone is excellent for building purposes and in un- limited quantity. Mr. Claus Spreckels having received samples of sugar beets raised in the Santa ‘Clara Valley came down lately to look the field over and was so well pleased that he Pproposes soon to erect a sugar factory in or near Hueneme. When that industry shal! have been established no section°of the United States will offer greater in- ducements ‘to the farmer than Ventura County, for with beans and sugar beets he will grow rich, ‘When the South Pacific Coast Railroad is finished 80 per cent of all the travel from Los Angeles and tne southern counties to S8an Francisco will be over that route, for who will travel over interior plains when they can breathe the sea air and look from & car window out over the ocean and see the panorama of islands ana ships? % San Buenaventura, the county seat of Ventura County, lies on a gentle slope close to the sea. Protected from the north winds by the mountain range and facing the ocean, it looks off at the islands that seem to float as in a mirage. The sea air is never hot and never cold. When Cabritlo dropped anchor in the channel in front of where Ventura now stands, he counted twenty-five Indian villages scat- tered along the coast foothills. Those old- time people knew a good thing when they found it, and lived and died in this fa- vored spot. The town of San Buenaven- tura has about 4000 inhabitants, mostly from the Eastern States. The old Mission charch is much the same to-day as when the Indians came at the call of “the chime | ‘HOTEL_ RosE SA~ BuENA VENTURA WAS JEALOUS OF HIS YOUKG WIE Mrs. Kelly’s Jovial Nature Aroused Her Husband's Suspicions. Convinced That the Woman Was Deceiving Him, He Fired to Kill Her. The Victim of the San Jose Tragedy Is Recovering, but Her Assail- ant Will Die. SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 20.—J. P. Kelly, who attempted to kill his wife and then to | end his own life when the police appeared, |is stiil alive atthe Receiving Hosvital, despite the fact that the physicians statea builet is embedded in his brain. Mrs. | Kelly is being nursed at her room in the | Raymond over the store whera the tragedy took place, and in all probability she will recover. She rested easily to-day. She inquired about the condition oi her hus- band and her children. Kelly was con- scious all day and also inquired about his family. He was restless at times. He took some nourishment. it is believed he cannot live. Jealousy was what caused Kelly to at- tempt to kill his wife. He accused her of being on intimate terms with other men. Kelly was double the age of the woman, he being 54 years old and she but25. The woman was of a jovial disposition and had a pleasant word for everybody and this aroused Kelly’s jealousy. Xeliy was morose and quiet. He treated the woman cruelly. When he heard.that she was about to apply for a divorce the news so enraged him, it is thought, that he planned fo kiil her and himseli. Kelly’s story about the wealth he pos- sesses is believed to be imaginary. He claims to own shares in the California and Colorado Consolidated Tunnel and Mining Company of Leadville, Colo., valued at $175,000, and other mining stock and real estate in this country and Aus- tralia, which would bring his weatth up to $500,000. No credence is given to the story. EREtauSs e Breomes an’ Insolvent. SAN JOSE, Can, Nov. 29.—William Peacock, a contractor and builder at Palo Alto, has filed a petition in insolvency.

It was an off day among the rifilemen at the Schuetzen Park range yesterday ex- cept in two events, the Schumann rest rifle and pistol medal matches, Earlyin the year Captain Schumann offered three medals. A first and second medal for the sharpsiooters making the seven best scores out of twelve, one score a month, and one medal for the seven best scores out "of twelve. In both events there were ten sbots to a score on the German ring target. In the rifle match the contest has been among John Utschig and his daughter, Miss Lizzie Utschig, and Otto Burmeister, with very few points to either at any time. On the pistol match D. W.

Seaman Walks Into an Open- ing in a Sidewalk. SAN JOSE, CarL., Nov.29.—George M, Seaman, who has been living at 105 Grant street, was found dead in a basement of the new Baker building, on the corner of Third and Santa Clara streets, about 12:30 o'clock to-day. He had fallen about twelve feet onto a cement floor and his neck was broken, The opening through which Seaman fell was right on the edge of the sidewalk and was unguarded. It is supposed he in- tended to enter the building. That he was not held up by footpads and thrown into the cellar is ‘evidenced by the fact that a watch and some money on his per- son were unmolested. He was a sober and ndustrious man and not addicted to drink. : The deceased was a native of New York, aged 59 years. He leaves a widow in this city. Seaman came to San Jose from San Franecisco about a year ago, and had been an old friend. ROWI‘NG REGATTA, McCausland Defeats Dennis in the Senior Skiff Race—South Ends’ Reasons for Not Rowing. A large crowd witnessed the postponed races of the rowing regatia yesterday at Long Bridge. < The races to be contested were the senior four-oared barge, the senior shell and the race for old-time oarsmen, The South Ends declined to row the Stocktons, and the Ariels, out of-courtesy to the visiting oarsmen, paced them over the course in 11:21. In the senior skiff race McCausland of the Ariels defeated Dr. Dennis of the Ala- medas by about six lengths, Their time for the aistance was 11:37. When asked aiter the race by the referee if he had any complaint to make Dennis -laid, ,"Yes, the other fellow rowed too ast.” G McCausland is now the possessor of the beautiful silver cups offered by Mr. Brod- erick and Mr, Phelan, having won the senior scull from Brown of Stockton and the senior skiff from Dr. Dennig. The old-timers’ skiff race was a disap- pointment. Captain Thomasand Sullivan withdrew, leaving Leander Stevenson and Mr. Growney as the contestants. Growney won by two lengtns in 13:04. Stevenson complained that Growny fouied;him in turning the stakeboat. The foul was not allowed, and as boih men Wwon prizes there wes no ill freiing.

Captain Thomas wh club did not race, said: “The South Ends have always done their utmost to make regattas a’ success. The club has always had a large number of entries in the different events and I.| might say, more than any other club. | We were ready to row on Thbanksgiving day and were very much disappointed that the race was put off. The Stocktons were certainly prepared for rough water, having had & washboard put on_their new boat, and as for our boat it Is adapiable to smooth or rovgh weather. “Then other clubs have abused the South Ends and stories are in circulation “}hil;:n are detrimental to the good of the clab. “The South Ends feel sore over the charges made by the Stockton papers at the time of the Admission day regatia charging us with attempted bribery and other terrible crimes in “which there was no truth. “‘And on account of the abuse the South Ends decided not to row. We are not look- ing for prizes, but we are looking ocut for the reputation of the club, “The club is ready at any time to meet the Stockton crew or any other crew in a match race. 2 “Oue ol the morning papers charges the delay of the Thanksgiving races to the regatta committee. ¢ *It is an unjustcharge as the committee were at the sturting point at 10:15 A.
