J. Sprague of Fairmount, who discussed “Almond Culture.” Professor Sprague said that the growers should endeavor to produce all the alm the market could profitably take, instead of competing in lines that were already crowded. ! So far the history of almond growing | in California had been onme of disap. | pointment, because the trees had been planted in loc ies where the trees| flourished, but did not bear well. As California w the only State in the Union which produced almonds, it was to inquire what conditions favor al- | mond growth. In certain districts the wild almond was growing. It is foun N high | altitudes, where the is rarer, the | rainfall scanty, the soil of a permeable | character, where there was scarcely | any fog, where the winters were cold and there was snow to the depth of twelve to fifteen inches in February and the first of March. It had been found that almonds in the higher | altitudes were hardier, standing a temperature of 24 degrees, when to those lower in the valley a tempera- ture of 28 degrees was fatak ° “AS to culture,” said he, “it is wise to do as little pruning as consistent. During the summer of the second sea- son it is not desirable to prune at all. The second winter it is better to cut| back only to thin out and trim up the trees to make them shapely; and the same method should be foldowed there- after. This method has been proven | the best by experience. ““The almond is not for irrigation and should be grown where irrigation is not necessary. In harvesting almonds they can be handled much better and more | cheaply in large quantities, as the large machines for shucking are much more efficient. “The soft-shelled almonds most com- monly planted are Norpareil, I X L., | Ne Plus Ultra and paper-shell. Drakes’ | seedling, though graded 2 to 3 cents| cheaper than the above varieties, is a | heavy producer and consequently pro- | fitable.” 1 As a closing word, Mr. Sprague said | that almonds should never be grown lnI a region where they had to be sul- phured.

J. Hoag of Redlands took up a de- fense of the Citrus Union and went for the Southern California Fruit Bx- change. Mr. Hoag was not present himself, but his paper was read by A. C. Moore, the president of the Redlands Horticultural Club. L. A. Taylor of Pomona and William Penn Rogers of Highlands defended the Southern Cali- fornia Fruit Exchange, as did A. H. atsger, the president of the latter in- tution. Finally the subject got too warm, or, rather, the discussion did, and it was dropped. Papers were read as follows: A. R. Sprague of the Antelope Valley “Deciduous Fruit Exchange: C. A. Hatch of Pasadena of the Southern California Beekeepers' Association, on “Beekeepers’ Exchanges”; Albert K. Smiley, on "Roads and Roadside Tree Planting”; J. W. Mills, on “Promising New Varietles of Fruit."” At this evening's session resolutions were adopted favoring the formation of a deciduous fruit growers’ association; expressing sympathy with the Florida citrus fruit growers over the misfor- tunes they are experiencing in the way | of cold weather; indorsing the ten block system of numbering country homes and urging boards of supervisors to | take the matter up and push it to early completion. Miss Jean Loomis read a comprehen- sive paper on “Scale Insects,”.describ- ing the different classes of scale in- sects, and telliing something of their habits and harmful propensities. F. Austin of Fallbrook read a paper on ghting Scale Insects.” A. Pease of San Bernardino County made strong argument in favor of fumigation rather than spraying, as by the former fully 89 per cent of the insects would be ex- terminated. Judson Williams of Fall- brook added his testimony as to the eflic y of fumigation, ving, however, rowers were justified in econo- on small trees by using spray scussed at some length the mer- A. D. Bishop read a paper on “The Purple Scale,” giving the history of its introduction into California and suggesting the most successful meth- ods of fighting it. Mr. Hall of San Diego lifted his voice in favor of spray- ing and against fumigation, which, he said, killed the scale but not the egg. He said the spray to swear by was one pound of Babbitt's lye put into twenty gallons of water. In the discussion that followed there | seemed to be a general opinion that kerosene emulsions should be gingerly handled by amateur sprayers. Secretary Goodwin read a paper by V. Tressler, secretary of the Riverside Poultry Association. He spoke of the common erroneous belief that thor- oughbred poultry was more delicate than the common stock. Given proper housing and good food thoroughbreds were not only sightlier than the com- mon stock, but more profitable to/ handle. T. W. Cowan of London, England, was introduced as an authority on the subject set for him on the programme, “Bees and Horticulture.” He gave a learned account of the part bees play- ed in fertilizing plants. The fertilizer | question was discussed by 8. M. Wood- bridge of South Pasadena, a member of the Southern California Pomological | Society. A paper on “Maintaining the Fertil- | ity of Our Soils” was read by Dr. E. | W. Hilgard of Berkeley. James Mor- | gan of the Santa Barbara Horticul- | | tural Association discussed the ques- tion of disposing of fruit crops, in| which he scored the middlemen, who | he claimed ate up the profits of the | producers. Herman Copeland read a | | learned paper on the “Purple Scale” | speaking as a representative of the Chula Vista Club. E. W.

I was informed by a depart- ment official to-dey that the United States had never formally proclaimed that Clipperton Island was under its jurisdiction. Clipperton Island is situ- ated about 80 miles off the Mexican coast, almost due west of Acapulco.

Argentina’s Minister Decidedj the Case by Ignoring All Legal Points. Peculiar Lack of Perception, Without a Parallel in the History of Arbitration. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Jan. 4. The cause of arbitration in the set- tlement of claims between nations has received a severe check in the award by the arbitrators in the case of Ober- lander and Messenger, who claimed $50,000 and $25,000 respectively for ill- treatment by the Mexican authorities. The arbitrator was the Argentine Min- ister at Madrid, Senor Queseda, and his decision was in favor of the Mexican Government and against the American claimants. The discouraging feature of the decision is that in making the de- cision the arbitrator apparently over- looked every point of law, according to the English standard, and decided the case with reference to his sympathies. It is said@ that a more extraordinary opinion than this from a legal stand- | point of view was never seen at the State Department. Oberlander was a | Deputy Sheriff in California and he was kidnaped and then taken across the border by Mexican officers. Mrs. | Messenger, in whose nouse he had taken refuge, was ill-treated. When it came to rendering his decision the ar- bitrator, it is said, ignored the facts and reasoned that because the United | States Government had not recognized | the rights of the Chinese Government | to indemnity for the killing of Chinese at Rock Springs, Wyo., while insisting | upon indemnity for losses sustained by | American missionaries in China, \\'e“ could not expect to have an indemnity | awarded our citizens in such cases as | this. This pecullar lack of legal perception | is said, at the State Dapartment, to be | almost without a parallel in the history | of arbitrations, and has undoubtedly | done much to prevent the submission | | of other claims to arbitration, uniless it | | can first be-shown that the arbitrator | is familiar with the principles of com- mon law, according to the English standards.

Special Dispatch to the Call. SAN JOSE, Jan. 4—The annual statement of the Eastern overland shipments from San Jose for the year 1897 shows an increase of nearly ome- third over those of the preceding year. | The figures for 1897 are 130,583,880 | pounds, against S8385115 for 1896, a gain of 42198768 pounds. This shows | that the past season has been a golden one for the fruit-growers of Santa ments mean that the people of this| valley have received nearly a million and a half doliars more for their prod- ucts than they did last year. The dried fruit crop has been nearly all shipped, and by the time the next sea- cleaned up, and this will insure good prices next year. The exports of dried and canned goods from San Jose to European ports have trebled, and canners apd shippers look forw to year. The principal overland shipments last year were: Canned goods, 15234,- green apples, §455.9%0; green pears, §,630,950; cher- dried prunes, 5i.- wine, 1L102.475 ; beans, 3.991.655.

Los Gatos Merchants Protest Against the Free Rural Delivery. In Order to Reduce Expenses It Is Proposed to Consolidate a Num- ber of Offices. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Jan. 4. Congressman Loud was at the Post- office Department to-day and recom- mended Postmasters for the cities of Santa Clara and Gilroy in his district. Richard Ryan was recommended for the office at Gjlroy and A. A. Withrow at Santa Clara. Both are Presidential offices. There were several candidates for each of the places. Mr. Loud has received from Los Gatos several petitions against the | proposed free rural delivery system to be established in that vicinity, with the town of Campbell as the central distributing point. It appears from this petition, which is signed by mer- chants of the place, that they are fear- ful that Los Gatos will lose the trade | of those ruralists who have been as- customed to go there to get their mail. These merchants contended that it will work a great hardship to them if the tewn of Campbell is made the free delivery distributing point, as the farmers have for many years been ac- customed to coming to Los Gatos for their mail, and at the same time pur- chased their goods there, but Mr. Loud | very properly replied that such selfish considerations cught not to preval, and that the convenience of mail fa- cilities in the outlying districts should be considered. Inasmuch as there has | been a proposition considered to re- duce Postoffice Department expendi- tures by lopping off &me of the car- riers in the big cities, other members of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads have proposed that the force of carriers in the big cities be reduced. Mr. Loud assents to this, but thinks that a better way might be to consoli- date the smaller postoffices within a certain radius with some central of- fices. One instance of a successful con- solidation of this kind is at India- napolis, Ind. A number of suburban offices within a short distance of In- dianapolis were abolished. The main of- fice was then called “Greater Indian- apolis” and the smaller postoffices were made “sub-stations” and an agent ap- pointed for each of them, under the di- rection of the Postmaster at Indiana- polis. Mr. Loud suggested that this system might be put into practice in many thickly settled communities, as for instance that in the neighborhood of Leland Stanford University, where a number of smaller offices might be | abolished by consolidation. This would save about $20,000 that is now paid in salaries to these several postmasters, and this money could be used for free This was merely a tentative suggestion on the part of Mr. Loud, and has not yet received serious consideration. (OULD FORECLOSE ON THE CENTRAL Attorney - General McKenna Says the Road Is in Default. Meanwhile Huntington Is Trying to Prevent Action by the Gov- ernment. Special Dispatch'to The Call. NEWYORK, Jan. 4—A special to the Mail and Express from Washington says: Attorney - General McKenna stated this afternoon that in his opin- fon the Government could foreclose on | the Central Pacific road in view of the | default of $10.614,210 worth of bonds | last Saturday, but he did not believe it possible to take any immediate steps in | the matter in view of the reassembling of Congress to-morrow. Although Judge McKenna did not €ay 80 it is well known at the Depart- ment of Justice that the course to be followed by the Government in this matter is to be left until Governor Griggs is appointed Attorney-General and takes office, but as Attorney-Gen- eral McKenna holds that the Govern- ment can foreclose this will no doubt | be the administration’s course. It i= understood here that C. P. Huntington is endeavoring to arrange with English holders of bonds for an extension of at least one vear. If Huntington cannot make arrange- ments with English holders of securi- ties in default foreclosure will have to come, and the Government, of course, will act with foreign bondholders so as to_protect itself. President Collis P. Huntingtor of the Central Pacific Railroad had ‘nothing to add to-day to the statement of the condition of the road which he made in interviews yesterday. He said then that some satisfactory arrangement could be made when the debt becomes due, and that he thought a receiver for the road would have a tendency to re- duce the earnings one-third. A rep- resentative of Speyer & Co., who is- sued $30,000,000 of the' first bonds of the company, said t that as the bonds were about to mature something would have to be dome to satisfy the holders. He said, however, that there was nothing being done in the matter just new, but that there would be developments in the course of a week.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4—Pictures of characters of the Edwin Shaw murder trial at Camden, N. J., 145 miles from New York, were secured this evening in the editorial room of the Herald and were ready for the press ninety- six minutes from the time they were sent. The instrument stood in an al- cove, looking for all the world like a diminutive model of a printing press under a glass case. The veteran opera- tor who had charge of it sat at a table next to the case and watched the waving finger of the instrument, draw- ing likenesses line by line. Two sheets of paper four and a half inches square, with a carbon sheet between, were placed upon the bed and securely clasped down. Over the surface passed a carriage upon a tiny wheel. The car- riage bore a needle which pressed down upon the surface of the paper. Out at Camden the indicator was passed over the lines drawn with shel- lac upon a tin plate, The needle in New York pressed down upon the pa- per every time the indicator 145 miles away crossed the plate. The finger had nearly reach- ed the rim of the bed of brass and stopped. The carriage was lifted up, the sheets were slipped out, and there was the picture of a man. The telegraph in- struments were working now. “Have sent a picture of Nelson W. Cox, disqualified as a juror,” ticked the sounder. “Received in excellent condition,” was the message sent back to Camden. The time was twenty-one minutes. The features of a man over at Camden had been pictured in New York in twenty-oné minutes. Fresh sheets of paper were put in. The needle was moved back to the starting point and the ciock work began to move. A new picture had been placed in the machine at Camden. Another picture was on the wi another twenty-one minutes of waiting and another portrait was taken from the machine. This, as the operator at Camden sent word over the same wire, was the picture of Edward Norcross, foreman of the jury. Then the artist and engraver had their turn. The pictures were re- drawn in India ink first. It takes thirty minutes to re-draw a portrait carefully. The drawings were then sent to the en- graving room. Forty-five minutes after it left the hands of the artist the por- trait was ready for printing.

BRIDE OF AN [NDIAN PRINCE Lady Anne Coventry Now the Wife of Dhuleep Singh of Lahore. Courtship Opposed by the Young Woman’s Family for Some Time. The Groom Comes From a Family That Fought the English for Generations. Special Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Jan. 4—Lady Anne Cov- entry, third daughter of the Earl of Coventry, was marrted this afternoon at St. Peter's Church, Eaton square, to Prince Dhuleep Singh, son of the late Maharajah of Lahore. The court- ship of the Prince and Lady Anne has been marked by considerable opposi- tion upon the part of the lady's fam- ily, which was mainly overcome by the intervention of the Prince of Wales. There was a large and distinguished company present in the church. The decorations were elaborate, palms, ferns and white flowers being promi- nently displayed. The Earl of Coven- try gave his daughter away. The bridesmaids were: Lady Dorothy Cov- entry, sister of the bride; the Princess Sophie Bamba Dhuleep Singh, Miss Brenda Van de Wier, Lady Victoria Herbert and Miss Elspeth Campbell. Prince Frederick Dhuleep Singh was the best man. The service was choral. After the wedding there was a re- ception at the Coventry House on Park lane. Later the couple started for Paris. The presents were costly. herself. Prince Victor Albert Jay Dhuleep Singh, who is 32 years of age, is the grandson of that East Indian Prince whose struggle against the British earned for him the title of the “Lion of the Punjab.” The young Prince’s father, the late Maharajah of Lahore. fought against the British in India, but legiance to Queen Victoria.

NO FAITH CURE ABOUT STUART’S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS. Stomach Troubles and Indi- T ation Anyway, Whether You Have Faith in Them or Not. All physicians agree that the ele- ment gf ’ralth has a great deal to to he cure of disease. ml"‘im belief and confidence in a fam- ily physician or the same confidence and faith in a patent medicine have produced remarkable cures in all ages. This is especially true in nervous. troubles, and no field offers so prolific & harvest for the quack and charl:'unu as the diseases arising from 2a weak or run down nervous system. Nevertheless, the most common of all diseases, indigestion and stomach trou- bles, which in turn cause nervous dis- teases, heart troubles, comsumption and loss of flesh, requires something be- sides faith to cure. Mere faith will not digest your food for you, will not give you an appetite, will not increase your flesh and strengthen your nerves and heart, but Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets will do these things, because they are com- posed of the elements of digestion; they contain the juices, acids and pep- tones necessary to the digestion and assimilation of all wholesome food. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di- gest food if placed In a jar or bottle in water heated to 98 degrees, and they will do it much more effectively when taken into the stomach after meals, whether you have faith that they will or not. They invigorate the stomach, make pure blood and strong nerves, in the only way that nature can do it, and | that is, from plenty of wholesome food well digested. It is not what we eat but what we digest that does us good. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents for full-sized package. | " Little book on cause and cure of stomach troubles mailed free by ad< dressing Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.
