As soon as the conference in place, the faculty of their laborers before the people the club will discuss its chief features in their meetings. Mr. El Diabana has received a magnificent assortment of liquors and cigars; of a very superior quality. His invoice of beer is especially noteworthy, comprising the famous Boca beer, St. Louis beer and Milwaukee beer. The first named will be found a very pleasant drink. Messrs. Mott, Hollenbeck and Spence, of Los Angeles, arrived in town last evening to attend the meeting of the stockholders of the Black Star Coal Company. The meeting terminated at so late an hour that we are compelled to defer reporting the proceedings until our next issue. So heartily was the ball of the Anaheim Brass Band enjoyed that the members have been requested to give another ball on Friday, February 21st. They have consented to do so, and Kroeger's Hall has been engaged for the purpose. Formal announcement of the event will make its appearance in a week or two. We regret to announce that Mr. J. H.

His nurseries will pass into the control of Mr. Gibson, Jr., of El Monte. Mr. Bennett will, in connection with his brother, embark into the business of pork packing. They expect to handle $50,000 worth of hogs this season. Somehow or other we can't make the weather of yesterday fit into our climatic editorial. The wind blew direct from the snow-covered mountains and the result was that even at midday a Black Star coal fire was a comfortable thing to sit near. But this is an exceptional year. Mr. H. Stevenson has received a contract from the Government for the survey of San Pedro Landing, finally conveyed to Temple and Alexander. He will enter upon his duties as soon as his bonds are filed and detailed instructions received from the Surveyor General. Star. Te following items are from the Riverside Press: H. A.

They stunted his adjacent orange rows and in time of northers blew down sometimes. As will be seen by announcement in our advertising columns, a Masquerade Ball will be given at Kroeger's Hall on the evening of St. Valentine's Day. The great success of the ball given last February leaves no doubt that the coming one will be equally well attended and enjoyed, especially as the managers will have the benefit of the experience gained last year.

At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday the maps and profile for the ditch to connect the Anaheim and Cajon Company's ditches was exhibited. A rough estimate by the engineer, Mr. Knox, places the cost of constructing the ditch at between $3,500 and $4,000. Messrs. Reiser and Rimpan were appointed a Committee to procure the right of way from the owners of the land through which the connecting ditch will pass. An assessment of $1 per share was levied, payable before February 4th. This is the first time in ten years that the assessment has exceeded fifty cents per acre, but it was found necessary to make a heavy levy in order to build the connecting ditch. It is argued, and rightly too, that with the money in hand to pay the expenses as they accrue, the work can be done cheaper than if the contractors knew that they would have to wait an indefinite time for their money. One hundred and twenty-five shares of stock were represented at the meeting of the Cajon Irrigation Company on Saturday. The affairs of the Company were very thoroughly discussed, and Messrs. McFadden, Gelwicks and Hunter were appointed a Committee to meet in Anahsin on Saturday to revise the by-laws and discuss plans to liquidate the indebtedness of the Company. The agreement with the Anaheim Water Company in regard to the sale of the half interest in the ditch was unanimously ratified, as was also the purchase by the Cajon Company of all Grant and the Cork Irish. New York, Jan. 5.—The Herald's Dublin special says: The contrast between the generous welcome extended Grant by the people of this city and the spiteful slight aimed at him by a clique of the Cork City Council is interesting as showing to what lengths sectional and religious agitation are sometimes carried. Mr. Richmond, United States Consul at Cork, addressed a letter to the Council announcing that Grant would probably arrive in Cork within a few days. Mr. Tracy, a Nationalist, proposed at the Council meeting that the letter should simply be marked "Read," and that no action should be taken. Mr. Harris (Conservative) said: It will be to the interest of our fellow-countrymen in the United States if a proper reception is accorded to General Grant, who represents the governing party in that country. There can be no personal antipathy to the gentleman himself; neither was there anything in the Government of the ex-President objectionable to the Irish people, nor unpleasant to the Irish in America. Probably Grant will again be at the head of the United States, in which event it would be to the interest of our fellow-countrymen in America if proper recognition was given to Grant on his arrival in Cork. Mr. Barry, an extreme Nationalist, said that the ex-President had insulted the Irish people in America. He got up the "no popery" cry there. Mr. Tracy said it would be unbecoming for THE DUNKERS. People Opposed to War, and holding Unique Religious Views. [From the Philadelphia Times] There are in this country about 80,000 Dunkers. Of this number the bulk are in the West. Lancaster takes the lead in point of numbers among the counties of this State. Two colleges are now in course of erection by the Dunkers, one in Huntingdon, and the other in Ashland, Ohio. The Dunkers, like the Quakers, are opposed to war. During the "onpleasantness" between the North and South, some Dunkers enlisted in the Union Army. Some were killed, others came back and had to answer for it to the church. The Dunkers are opposed to slavery, and with a strong sentiment that way in the Church, the case of the reccant young Dunkers had a feeling of justification in its favor, and was finally settled satisfactorily, none being dismembered. Dunker is a name corrupted from Tunker, the German for to dip. The Dunkers do not own either name. They call themselves "The Church of the Brethren," or German Baptista. Outsiders only call them Dunkera. Alexander Mack was the founder of the sect in this country. Mack came over from Germany and established the first church in Germantown, where it exists and flourishes to this date. Dunkers smile at the notion prevailing among outsiders that a long beard is requisite to membership among the men. It is only optional, they say. Few are to be found now who wear long beards. In the early history of this October 25, 1916 to wait an indefinite time for their money. One hundred and twenty-five shares of stock were represented at the meeting of the Cajon Irrigation Company on Saturday. The affairs of the Company were very thoroughly discussed, and Measra McFadden, Gelfwicks and Hunter were appointed a Committee to meet in Anaheim on Saturday to revise the by-laws and discuss plans to liquidate the indebtedness of the Company. The agreement with the Anaheim Water Company in regard to the sale of the half interest in the ditch was unanimously ratified, as was also the purchase by the Cajon Company of all the water rights and ditches of the North Anaheim Canal Company. Action upon the communication from the Anaheim Water Company was postponed until Saturday, January 18th, to which date the meeting adjourned, as will be seen by the advertised in another column. The Herald of Sunday says: Yesterday the Messrs. N. H. Mott and J. E. Hollenback of the Los Angeles Oil Company were informed by a letter from the superintendent of their well in the Sesperi that a fine审阅 had been made. He writes under date of Friday, that they had considered trouble with the gas blowing dry mud into the hole and choking the oil pump so that it would not work, but that they had overcome the difficulty and that the pump had been working in first-class order for a day and a half. It had pumped out one hundred and eight barrels of oil in that time. They had tested the pumping capacity of the well about two hours before the letter was written and it had pumped twenty gallons in six minutes and a half, which is at the rate of 100 barrels a day. The writer expected to have all the company's tanks full of oil by last night. This is highly gratifying news, and we congratulate our enterprising fellow citizens upon their success. We are assured by gentlemen who have traveled over the country that the damage done by the frost to orange trees in the northern part of the county surpasses all belief. Had a huge bonfire been kindled under each tree, they would not have appeared worse than they now do. The whole country until within six miles of Anaheim, has received a severe scorching. But the grand, silent mountain sentinels have guarded this favored spot effectually, and not the most tender orange shoot has felt the frost king's icy breath. "Keep it before the people." At a meeting of the Los Angeles County Medical Association, held on Thursday, the following officers were elected: President, Dr. Joseph Kurts; Vice President, Dr. W. Lockhart; Treasurer, Dr. A. S. Worthington; Secretary, Dr. Walter Lindley; (re-elected.) The President appointed Drs. Widney, Lindley and Barton a committee to make arrangements for the annual public address, which is to be given by Dr. Orme. Mr. J. E Preston, of Westminster, will raffle off five farm as soon as 100 chances are taken. Each chance is valued at $10. Man himself; neither was there anything in the Government of the ex-President objective to the Irish people, nor unpleasant to the Irish in America. Probably Grant will again be at the head of the United States, in which event it would be to the interest of our fellow-countrymen in America if proper recognition was given to Grant on his arrival in Cork. Mr. Barry, an extreme Nationalist, said that the ex-President had insulted the Irish people in America. He got up the "no popery" cry there. Mr. Tracy said it would be unbecoming for the Catholic constituency of Cork to welcome such a man. It would be ungenerous to refuse him hospitality if he deserved it, but he saw nothing in Grant's career that called for sympathy from the Irish nation. He never thought of the Irish race as he thought of others, and he went out of his way to insult their religion. Mr. Dwayer an advanced Nationalist, would not couple Grant a name with America. The Irish who sought refuge and homes in the United States had received kindness and attention from the American people. Grant had never given them the same recognition as other inhabitants. It would be an impropriety to pay any mark of respect personally to Grant. McSweeney and Creeden (Nationalists) spoke to the same effect, and with a great about of "aye," there being no dissenting voice. Cork refused to receive Grant. The action has produced a profound sensation throughout Ireland. The people are grieved at it as a violation of the rites of hospitality. One Irish gentleman said "The noise little lot of fellows who have committed this outrage are mere wind bags, and were seeking a little notoriety." Cork has a weakness for being thought more Catholic than the Pope, who believe, saw no object to receiving General Grant." General Grant remains in Dublin until to-morrow. He will not visit Cork, and had made up his mind that he could not before hearing of the action of the Town Council. He passed today quietly visiting a number of sights and leaves in the morning for Londonderry and Belfast. The General smiled when the correspondent referred to the speeches of the Cork Councilmen, and said, "I am sorry the Cork people know so little of American history." WASHINGTON, Jan. 6th. A decision was rendered this afternoon by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Geo. Reynolds against the United States, brought here by appeal from the Supreme Court of Utah. The case involves the whole question of polygamy in Territories, and the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress to suppress them. Reynolds was indicted by the Grand Jury for contracting a bigamous marriage. He was tried in the Third District Court of Utah, and found guilty. He appealed to the Supreme Court of the Territory, and finally to this Court, which now affirms the judgment of the lower tribunals, and declares that Congress has power to pass laws prohibiting admissions in Utah, and that such man himself; neither was there anything in the Government of the ex-President objective to the Irish people, nor unpleasant to the Irish in America.

The subject was a young woman of about 21. Inasmuch as the font had never been used before, being new, there was great curiosity to see it work. Previously all the baptisms were made in the Schuylkill. There were brief services, appropriate to the baptism, in the church. Then she congregation was adjourned by Rev. John Harley, of Pottstown, and everybody went out and stood around the font. The young woman clothed in a woolen dress, approached the fout, led by two other women.

E Preston, of Westminster, will raffle off his fine farm as soon as 100 chances are taken. Each chance is valued at all. The farm consists of ten acres, and there is a large and commodious house on it, besides chicken, horse and hog corrals and store house. The raffle will take place at Granet & Wenger's Sample Rooms, and holders of chances will be notified by postal card of the day and hour of the raffle. Straw for Lumber. A discovery has been made which will delight the hearts of the Western Grangers. It is neither more nor less than the practicability of manufacturing lumber out of wheat straw. The following is the method: Sheets of ordinary straw board, such as are made at a paper mill, are placed upon each other, the number being governed by the thickness of the lumber required, and passed through a chemical solution that softens the fibre and completely saturates it. The mass is then passed between a series of rollers and subjected to heavy pressure, and dried, hardened and polished, coming out of the last ones hard, dry lumber ready for use. The inventor further claims that the chemical solution hardens the fibres of the wood, and renders it impervious to water and non-combustible except under great heat. New York, Jan. 4.—The Sun says: It is expected that 15,000 Menonites will arrive before May, the Emperor of Russia having decided that they shall be exempt from military service till 1889. Mrs. Partington says: "Nothing so much despises her so much as to see people who profess to prospect salvation, go to church without their purses when a recollection was to be taken." In a court at Bennington, Vt., the defendant asked permission to pray before opening his case. The Judge said it was not customary, but as the plaintiff did not object, the prayer was made. Supreme Court in the case of Geo. Reynolds against the United States, brought here by appeal from the Supreme Court of Utah. The case involves the whole question of polygamy in Territories, and the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress to suppress them. Reynolds was indicted by the Grand Jury for contracting a bigamous marriage. He was tried in the Third District Court of Utah, and found guilty. He appealed to the Supreme Court of the Territory, and finally to this Court, which now affirms the judgment of the lower tribunals, and declares that Congress has power to pass laws prohibiting polygamous marriages in Utah, and that such laws are constitutional. Chicago, January 3.—During the afternoon the weather moderated appreciably, the mercury at 60°clock standing at 7 below zero. The day has, however, been very severe on the street-car drivers and conductors,"bus drivers, letter carriers and others who are necessarily exposed, and many instances of freezing of ears, noses and hands and feet are reported. At the County Hospital there are harrowing scenes as the afflicted poor are brought in with limbs frozen. One or two cases of death by freezing have been reported. Outside the city, in the northwest, reports indicate that the cold has been general and severe, with a more moderate temperature toward evening. San Francisco, Jan. 4.—A circular has been issued by the Republican Executive Committee of the county of San Francisco to Republican County Committees of the State, calling upon them to stand by each other, secure Republican nominations, and discountenance all efforts that may be made to draw Republican voters into non-partisan or tax-payers' organizations. San Francisco, Jan. 7.—The Board of Supervisors last night adopted a resolution asking Governor Irwin to request the Secretary of War to withdraw the sloop of war James-town from her present employment as a training ship for San Francisco. The question has been under discussion a long time, the expense of the ship being deemed in excess of benefits derived. Brooklyn, Jan. 4.—The infant child of Mrs. Kenny, No. 380 Hicks street, was frozen to death beside its mother in bed last night. There was to be one baptism. The subject was a young woman of about 21. Inasmuch as the font had never been used before, being new, there was great curiosity to see it work. Previously all the baptisms were made in the Schuylkillk. There were brief services, appropriate to the baptism, in the church. Then the congregation was adjourned by Rev. John Harley, of Pottstown, and everybody went out and stood around the font. The young woman, clothed in a woolen dress, approached the fout, led by two other women. Mr. Harley entered first, descending the steps carefully deeper and deeper, till suddenly there was a sudden shoot downward, at which everybody involuntarily exclaimed "ugh!" and Mr. Harley stood on the bottom, in three feet of water. At a sign from the minister the convert reached out her hand and was led down the steps to a place by his side. Then she kneeled, the water coming up to her breast. The minister asked her if she believed in the Saviour. "Yes," came the response. "I then, in the presence of these witnesses, baptise thee in the name of the Father," plunging her head forward into the water. As soon as she had recovered breath, the minister exclaimed, "and in the name of the Son," and the dip was repeated; and after that a third time, the minister saying, "and in the name of the Holy Ghost." This closed the ceremony. The minister extended the right hand of fellowship to the baptized. She was led out, a woolen cloak wrapped around her, embraced and kissed by her friends and led away. Their services are not different from the services of other churches. They kneel in prayer. The Dunkers allow no one in church who is a member of a secret order. If a member goes to law without first laying the matter before the church, they "sit" on his case. If he acknowledges he has done wrong by not bringing the matter before them first, they acquit him; only it must not be repeated. Differences arising between neighbors of such a nature as may, if not adjusted, keep them from partaking of the Love Feast and Sacrament, are confided to the visiting Descons, who go around among the members several weeks before the Love Feast, and learning how things stand, mediate between neighbors, and get them, if possible, in a state of communion.

Tubs of water were placed at the head of each row of seats. Two men, with aprons and towels, on the men's side, and two women with the same on the women's side, moved along the row, one washing the feet and the other wiping them. After the washing they all gathered around the tables, spread with English biscuit, cheese and coffee. This was the love feast. After this the sacrament is partaken of, which does not differ from that of other churches. Last year at the love feast they used 1,000 biscuits. A Big Thing in Honey. A Liverpool paper says: "The representatives of Messrs. H. K. and F. B. Thurber & Co. arrived in Liverpool on the 5th inst., per Steamship City of Berlin, with eighty tons of honey. This vast aggregation of bees labor is the partial product of the 12,000 swarms of bees these gentlemen are interested in, and which are distributed through the honey-producing sections of the United States, in apiaries of 100 swarms each. Only experts can properly manipulate bees, and 120 experienced hands are employed in the management of the 12,000 swarms. The bees are in the most approved hives and valued at about £2 per stock or swarm. Taking the low estimate of 50fbs. of surplus honey per swarm, the gross production of honey for the market from these bees aggregates, say, £600,000 worth. In years past honey has been put up in such a shape as to White winged peace again broods over Breathitt county, Kentucky. Some of the belligerent citizens have been killed; some have been disabled by wounds; some are in jail; the rest are overawed by the presence of the militia; and Judge Randall has at last deemed it safe to open court.

Now that the troops have temporarily restored quiet, and the machinery of law is working again, all Kentuckians who desire the welfare of their State are hoping that examples will be made. It is time these Breathitt county desperate had a lesson given them that will not be forgotten as soon as the militia break camp. The Courier-Journal's correspondent writes from Jackson: "Nearly every man you meet might almost be termed a walking arsenal. Men strap their huge pistols around them, and do not attempt to conceal the fact that they carry them constantly. Everybody is provided with'the most improved brands of revolvers and rifles, and no people know better how to use them. It is a common thing for men to brag about the men they have killed and about those they intend killing. An old lady told me last night that she would rather start out on foot and take nothing with her but her clothes on her back, and hunt a place where people live in peace, than to endure what she has during the past few years. Her house, she says, has been fired into time and again, and for many nights she has remained in a state of terror, expecting every moment to hear bullets crashing." The Sun's Washington special, on the deaths of Congressmen, says: "In all, five members of this House have died. Leonard, of Louisiana, and Welch, of Nebraska (Republicans); and Gwinn, of New York, Williams, of Michigan, and Douglass, of Virginia (Democrats). Gwinn was succeeded by a Republican, elected last Fall, and it is probable that Williams will be by appointment from the Governor. A Democrat will, of course, succeed Beverly Douglass. Neither Douglass nor Williams was re-elected to the next House—the first not being renominated, and the last losing his seat after a hard struggle. In both cases the failure unquestionably shortened the lives of the two Congressmen. Williams' campaign was extremely trying and harassing to a man of nearly eighty. In the case of Douglass, there were, unfortunately, passages in his life as Congressman that deprived him of the confidence of his District. Douglass was defeated in Convention, and never recovered from the blow. The threatened insanity of another Congressman, Riddle, of Tennessee, is said also to spring from disappointment over his failure to receive a renomination. He is not in strong health, is dyspeptic, and since the session opened he has been using chloral to an extent that has resulted in temporary derangement—not, however, of a serious, or, it is believed, of a lasting character, and he starts to-night for his home." The Judge of the Brighton County Court, in England, has been called upon to decide upon the right of a mistress to require the attendance of her servant at family prayers. A young woman named Ridley, a cook, claimed a month's wages, in lieu of proper notice of dismissal. She had neither neglected her work nor behaved improperly, but was dismissed for refusing to join in the family prayers which were held every day. The Judge said that unless there was an express stipulation with the plaintiff before her engagement as a servant that she was to include attendance at family prayers in her duties, she was legally justified in refusing to join them. She went to her situation to cook, not to pray; and in the absence of any swarms of bees these gentlemen are interested in, and which are distributed through the honey-producing sections of the United States, in apiaries of 100 swarms each. Only experts can properly manipulate bees, and 120 experienced hands are employed in the management of the 12,000 swarms. The bees are in the most approved hives and valued at about £2 per stock or swarm. Taking the low estimate of 50lb. of surplus honey per swarm, the gross production of honey for the market from these bees aggregates, say, £600,000 worth. In years past honey has been put up in such a shape as to be entirely unmarketable; in fact, this lack of uniformity and its slovenly condition has been one of the greatest difficulties shopkeepers have had to contend with. Through the ingenuity of American bee-keepers, the bees have been educated to store their honey into 500,000 neat little glass-sided boxes, to glaze which about one million panes of glass were required. These little boxes are packed one dozen in a crate, thus making a convenient marketable style of package. It has remained for this trip of the City of Berlin to satisfactorily solve the problem of safely bringing honey in the comb from America to Europe. The infinite care and judgment demanded in the transportation of a cargo, and the extreme liability of leakage from the breaking away of the comb from its bearing through the lightest jolting or rough handling, were considered insurmountable difficulties.

Baron von Baekhofen has discovered a cheap and simple method of exterminating rats. It consists of a mixture of two parts of well bruised common squills and three parts of finely chopped bacon made into a stiff mass, with as much meal as may be required, and then baked into small cakes; these are put down for the rats to eat, and are said to effect their complete extirpation.

He said to a newspaper correspondent: "Well, if by the decree of the Almighty we are not to be free for four years more from radical power, then I should say give us a full lion, not a smearing sheep. Grant is a lion, I have respect for the man, for he either kill or wins. I have never forgotten how gracefully he treated Lee and our soldiers at the surrender. Grant is better for the South. lion though he is, than a sheep, who strives to make a lion of himself." The study of the English language has become a passion among the intelligent natives in India.
