SAN JOSE, Dec. 13.—The Rev. Dr. C. H. Mockridge, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, has tendered his resignation to the vestry. This was handed in yester- day and is based on certain conditions, For the past year there has been dis- i content in the church and the resigna- | tion comes as a result of the sanctioning of the action of the vestry in demanding | the Rev. Mr. Mockridge’s resignation. Last June the vestry made a demand on the rector that he resign, but it was ignored. The old vestry was re-elected on Decem- | ber 2, and at a meeting on the 4th they ; again renewed their demand. They of- fered the Rev. Mr. Mockridge the seven months’ back pay at $150 per month that | was due him and $00 additional. The clergyman has now accepted this offer. The supporters of the Rev. Mr. Mock- ridge have been urging him not to re- sign and have even gone so far as tor | offer to secede if he be ousted and estab- i lish a new church. It is understood: that the Rev. Mr. Mockridge has been offered | a pastorate in the East. No action has vet been taken by the vestry, but they | no doubt will accept the resignation and settle with him. | @ ittt @ MAKIRG EGYPT 10 BLOSSOM Great Success in Recla- mation of Worth- less Land. Application of Syé1em on a Large Scale in Our i Country. | — | The extraordinary commercial possibil- | ties of the great irrigation project in | which the Government of the United States is now engaged are well illustrated ! by data gathered in Egypt by Professor Thomas M. Means of the Department of Agriculture, who cites the case of the Abou Kir Company of Alexandria, a cor- | poration which obtained from the Egyp- | tian Government the title to a tract of | {land regarded as utterly worthless be-| | cause of excess of water and the presenc: j ol great quantities or alkali, which has reclaimed approximately 15,000 acres and | ! whose dividends have gradually riscn ! from 5 per cent to 45 per cent per annum | within a period of a few years. The land | cost the company nothing to start with, | ! but the irrigation and underdrainage en-| | tuiled an expense of from $20 to $25 per i acre. To-day the land is renting for $25 | per acre per annufh, and none can be, beught outright for less than $200 per | | acre, the figure at which the last sales | were made. | | The tract now undergoing reclamation | | by the Abou Kir Company contains 30,000 | acres. In the days of the Romans it was | noted for the excellent quality of the! { wines made from its grapes and was one | of the most valuable regions in ancient Egypt. After the Arabian conquest it was per- | mitted to *“go back’ to use the local | | term, and as a result became flooded | | with swamp water, which left deposits of {alkali double in strength those on the | | western lands of the United States, which | 1 the Federal Government hopes to reclaim. | This case is not an isolated one, accord- | ing to Professor Means. A large portion of the territory of Egypt is now under- going reclamation, and it was to study | the methods which have yielded such re- | markable results that Professor Means | | Jeurneyed to Egypt and spent the hottest | | menths of the year inspecting the firri- I gation and underdrainage systems. In the land of Goshen, lying between | the Nile and the Red Sea and famous in | biblical history as the reglon in which | the Israclites were assigned by Pharaoh, the Egyptian Government is now engaged in a gigantic reclamation project, Profit- ing by the example of enterprising pri- vate companies, the authorities have de- ! termined to reclaim an immense area which has long suffered from lack of | sufficient moisture and which was, it was | supposed, rendered utterly worthless by a canal dug by the engineers constructing the Suez canal for the purpose of supply- ipg fresh water to ‘the large force of workmen engaged in that undertaking. The canal was not carefully constructed and the seepage was of unusual propor- tions. Reaching the alkaline deposits which undcrlie the entire area, the water brought them to the surface. in. such quantities as to malke the soll absolutely | arid. The Government is now constructing two canals at different altitudes. One wiil supply fresh water for irrigation, and the' other will carry away the alkall drawn off by the drains, which will be placed about four feet below the surface and 150 feet apart. During the first year it will be necessary to keep the surface saturated and no crop can be grown, but immense quantities of alkalli will be washed out and inte the Red Sea. The second year a forage crop can be raised, and after that | the usual crops of Egypt—corn, wheat and | cotton—can be grown in great abundance. | ADVERTISEMENTS. STOMACH * !

Wooden Pegs and Hand- Wrought Copper Spikes in the Hull. — Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13.—Under the waters | of Sah Diego Bay, over by Point Loma, in the vicinity of the quarantine station, ! lies the dismantled hulk of some ancient galleon, which has probably lain there for | generations. As to how it got there and | as to whether it belonged to Cabrillo or , the fleet of some other explorer can be | merely a matter of surmise, but its con: | struction indicates that it is of very an clent date. It is said that the Portu guese fishermen have known of its where. abouts for a long time past, as they sail over the water all about that section. It remained, however, for two young men, John Skewes and a companion, yes- terday to bring in the first tangible proof of its existence. In some manner they {learned of the whereabouts of the old vessel and there being an exceptionally low tide they started out to Investigate it. After some little difficulty they lo- |cated a part of the bow of what ap- peared to have once been a large vessel of very ancient construction. As far as they could get out in the water they found some ten feet of the bow and the rest probably lies beyond that in deep water. To a considerable ex- tent the heavy planking had been torn off by the tides which have swept over | the old hulk for many years, leaving bare i huge ribs over a foot in diameter, show- Ing the vessel to have been a large one. | Upon investigation of the planking which | remained they found tnat in the whole | construction not a single piece of iron or | nails in any form had been used by the builders. Most of the planks had been} attached by means of wooden pins, and | what was still more remarkable they | found in several places spikes of copper. ‘With considerable difficulty they mcved one or two of the spikes brought them back to the city. spikes are about six inches long and | piainly forged out by hand. | The wreck is a matter of much specula- | exlstence and there might be an interest ing tale in connection with it. The prob- abilities are that it is one of the desert- ed galleons of some old Spanish adven- turer of ancient days, which was sunken in the sards and had been gradually worn | away by the action of a century’s tides. | In the course of this work the surveyors discovered the well-preserved remains of an Irrigation canal, constructed by one of the Pharaohs, a description of which is to | be found in Herodotus. The officers in | | charge are now workirg on the problem | | of restoring portions of the original aque- | | duct for present use. | | The exceptional success with which the | efforts of the Egyptian hydrographic en- gineers, who, by the way, are mostly Eng- lishmen, have been crowned, is the result l of years of careful and expensive experi- mentation, and they cheerfully furnished to the representative of the American Government every facility for profiting by | the knowledge thus attained, and avoid- ing the otherwise inevitable mistakes. There are thousands of acres in the United States where irrigation alone will prove sufficient without the underdrain- ' age necessary in Egypt, but some areas of the greatest value because of their fer- tility and proximity to large markets will require the dual treatment. The irrigation bill passed at the last ses- sion of Congress provides for the estab- lishment of reservoirs and the construc- | tion of distributing ditches(in sufficient number to permit of the use'of the water thus stored, but there is no provision | made for the underdralnage of the more alkaline soils. This will have to be done by private capital, although the bureau of soils of the Department of Agriculture is already making small demonstration ex- periments to prove the efficacy of the sys- tem in various sections of the West. In one instance, in the San Joaquin Valley, a single irrigation had, at last reports, re- moved fifty-five tons of alkall from a sin- | gle acre and the drains were still run- ning. acres in this valley which it is reasonable to assume will yield to the irrigation-un- | derdrainage treatment and which will double and treble in value as soon as the | XS —— e ADVERTISEMENTS. + A CAUSE OF HEADACHE. One Very Common Cause, Generally Overlooked. Headache is a symptom, an indication of derangement or disease in some organ, and the cause of the headache is difficult to locate’ because so many diseases have headache as a prominent symptom—de- rangement of the stomach and liver, heart trouble, kidney disease, lung trou- ble, eye strain or ill fitting glasses all produce headaches, and if we could-al- ways locate the organ which is at fault | the cure of obstinate headaches would be a much simpler matter. However, for that form of headache called frontal headache, pain back of the eyes and in forehead, the cause is now | known to be catarrh of the head and | throat; when the headache is located in | back of head and neck it is often caused from catarrh of the stomach or liver. At any rate catarrh is the most com- | mon cause of such headaches, and the cure of the catarrh causes a prompt dis- appearance of the headaches. There is at present no treatment for catarrh so convenient and effective as Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, a new internal remedy in tablet form, composed of anti- septics like red gum and blood root, which act upon the blood and cause the elimination of the catarrhal poison from the system through the natural channels, Miss Cora Ainsley, 2 prominent school teacher in one ot our normal schools, speaks of her experience with catarrkal headaches and eulogizes Stuart’s Catarri Tablets as a cure for them. SBhe says: suffered daily from severe frontal head- ache and pain in and back of the eyes, at times so intensely as to incapacitate me in my daily duties. I had suffered from catarrh more or less for years, but never thought it was the cause of my head- aches, but finally became convinced that such was the case, because the headaches were always worse whenever I had a cold or fresh attack of catarrh. “Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets were highly recommended to me as a safe and pleas- ant catarrh cure, and after using a few B)-cent boxes, which I procured from my druggist, I was surprised and delighted to find that both the catarrh and head- aches had gone for good.” “Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents per package, under the guarantee of *the proprietors that they contain absolutely no cocaine (found in so many catarrh cures), no opium (so common in.cheap cough cures) nor any harmful drug. They contain simply the ‘wholesome antiseptics necessary to de- stroy and drive from the system the germs, o!.f&unhal disease. g / A di Sl ADVERTISEMENTS. day in the year. it Christmas the year round. home and family happiness a Christmas present.

General Prince Louis Napoleon Bona- { parte of the Russian army has shaved off the close-cropped beard which he has worn until now, and the effect has been to increase his resemblance to the found- er of the Bonaparte dynasty to an extra- ordinary extent. His * elder - brother, Prince Victor Napoleon, the pretender to the imperial throne of France, takes af- ter the house of Savoy, to which he be- | longs through his mother, a sister of the late King Humbert. Indeed, Prince Vic- tor is very like his Uncle Humbert, and | there is nothing of the Bonaparte in his appearance, whereas his younger brother Louis has numerous points of feature and character in common with his grand- | | uncle, the great Emperor. At a review | held at St. Petersburg by the Czar in honor of President Loubet, Prince Louis, as general, led a brigade of cavalry past | the Chief Magistrate of France, saluting | the latter with his sword, in spite of the | tact that Loubet is the head of a Gov- ernment which keeps Prince Victor Bona- | parte banished from France. | The President r¢sponded to the salute | of Prince Louis with the most marked courtesy and friendliness, giving evidence in that way of the possession of a far greater amount of tact than his predeces- sor, President Faure, who, at the review held in his honor on the occasion of his stay in the Russlan capital some years ago, affected to be seized with a violent fit of coughing when Prince Louis led his lancer regiment past, and thus omit- ted to respond or acknowledge the prince’s salute. After the review a very friendly conversation took place between President Loubet and Prince Louls, who ranks as an imperial highness at the Rus- slan court and is treated as a member of the Czar's family. As usual, the prince was distinguished | from all other men present by the ab- | sence of any order of decoration on his tunic. Everybody else wore some order, | the then prince alone wore none, and, as in the case of Lord Castlereagh, this ab- sence of orders seemed to endow him with special distinction. Of course, the prince possesses the principal orders of Europe, including that of St. Andrew of Russia. But as a patriotic Frenchman he declines to wear any of them as long as the French Government refuses to acknowledge the validity of the grant of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor made to him as 2 child by his uncle; Napoleon III, prior a 4 to the latter’s loss of his throne. There is no doubt tnat the prince is entitled to the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor, as it was legitimately granted, and he has done nothing to forfeit it, and has been made the object of no de- cree of expulsion from the order. The refusal, therefore, of the present French Government to permit his name to figure on the roster of the order, or to recognize him as one of its knights, is a mistake, which it is possible that President Lou- bet may see his way to have rectified.— Mexican Herald.
