CELEBRATION OF WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY BY THE SCHOLARS IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Washington's Birthday was appropriately observed last Thursday afternoon by the rendition of patriotic exercises by the scholars of the public schools. The exercises at the city schools were conducted in Prof. Grogan's room by Miss Carrie E Roberts, the efficient Assistant Principal. The platform was decked in the national colors, and was ornamented with flowers and evergreens. Above were the pictures of Washington, Longfellow and Whittier. The Stars and Stripes hung in graceful folds from the staff at the side of the platform. The exercises embraced patriotic recitations and songs by the school, an interesting at Vennango where he delivered his message. Receiving no satisfactory reply he started on his homeward journey. As the rivers were full of frozen ice Washington and his men had great difficulty in crossing them, being often obliged to carry their boats. As they neared the mountains their horses became tired and Washington with one companion set out on foot. They had an Indian who treacherously attempted to shoot them, but failed. On the 16th of January they reached Williamsburg. Washington was also with Gen. Braddock on his expedition. From this engagement Washington miraculously escaped with his life. He had two horses shot from under him and four bullets passed through his clothing. An Indian chief declared that he was never born to be killed with a bullet, for, said he, "I had seventeen fair shots at him and could not hit him." After Braddock's death Washington took charge of the regiment of the once splendid army and by his knowledge of Indian methods of warfare successfully led them out of their difficulties. We remember Washington's name in connection with Gt. Moadows, also where he effectually surpassed the French. His letter to his brother shows his love for warfare even at this early age. "I heard the bullets whistle, and believe me, there is something charging in the sound." At Fort Necessity Washington was not so successful, although he was enabled to lead out his men with the honors of war. After the close of the war in 1763 Washington returned to his home at Mt. Vernon. Here he lived quietly for many years, not intending to have anything more to do with a soldier's life. He was fond of hunting and fishing. He rode over his plantations to see that all went well, made maps of his fields and kept accounts carefully and neatly. But as time went on the English policy became more and more offensive to her colonists. Her oppressions became unendurable. Her taxes were avoided. No tea was used in the colonies and only homespun garments were worn. In 1774 the Continental Congress met and raised a standing army called minute men. Of this embroyo army Washington was made commander-in-chief, and in April 19, 1775, the revolutionary war began, in which Washington was the main spring. Washington's Campaigns, 1775-1783. BY EDDIE ZEUS. When Washington took charge of the him to be the President of the United States Everyone was in love with Washington account of his military skill and ability, shown during the revolution, as course he was the first one to be thought to fill the office of President of the country, whose liberty he had done so towards establishing. George Washington was neither a federalist nor an anti-federalist, although ideas coincided more nearly with those of the federalists, since he thought this paper was going to do the most for his country Washington had to depend greatly on himself, as he had no example to follow, as the Presidents who came after him. The were other good Presidents, but placed under the same conditions with Washington, while the same circumstances contended would they have equalled him? The president for the inauguration at New York November 4th, but there was no quorum either Senate or House of Representatives until April 1st, and on the 23d Washington arrived, being detained by bad weather George C. Clinton of New York escorted him over a carpeted path to a carriage state, and the citizens fell in the military procession, arm in arm. One week later, on the balcony of Federal Hall, he repeated the oath of office and as he ended he whispered the word "So help me God," kissing the bible as concluded. Then the people shouted "Long live George Washington, President of the United States!" and the first President then assumed the duties of his office After the inauguration there were religious services in a neighboring chapel, and they ended in brilliant fireworks. He set the example for subsequent Presidents by appointing prominent men to positions of trust. He said: "I want men ready known and loved by the country, that the public will be more ready to treat them." His cabinet was made up of Hilton Jefferson, Knox and Randolph. Washington had a great many things content with. The Government was new and untried; the country contained many dissatisfied spirits ready to cause trouble whole army of men was suddenly let loose how they would conduct themselves mainly to be seen. More than this, these of foreign nations were upon us, ready any time to hasten our downfall should be one slip. Our Treasury was empty, his utilities had all but commenced with France and also England. Foreign and domestic affairs were officially suspended! observed last Thursday afternoon by the rendition of patriotic exercises by the scholars of the public schools. The exercises at the city schools were conducted in Prof. Grogan's room by Miss Carrie E Roberts, the efficient Assistant Principal. The platform was decked in the national colors, and was ornamented with flowers and evergreens. Above were the pictures of Washington, Longfellow and Whittier. The Stars and Stripes hung in graceful folds from the staff at the side of the platform. The exercises embraced patriotic recitations and songs by the school, an interesting feature being the blackboard exercises by Eddie Zeus, descriptive of the maneuvers of the Continental army during the Revolution. This was a map study, and showed the advance and retreat of Washington's army from the breaking out of hostilities, through Valley Forge, and on to the final capitulation of Cornwallis and the restoration of peace in the colonies. No one could have attended the exercises without coming away the better for it, and no one could fail to be again impressed with the fact that George Washington, the father of his country, first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, was a distinguished soldier, patriot and gentleman. In what immeasurable contrast were the final moments of Benedict Arnold to those of the Father of his country! Every scholar taught to extoll the virtues of Washington, knows the despicable nature of the man whose name has been handed down as the American traitor, but who once enjoyed the confidence and esteem of Washington. How poignantly Arnold suffered for his misdeeds and his treachery is told by the historian in the fact that when he was dying Arnold's mind went back to the absent Washington—to the happy times had with him, before he sold his honor and betrayed his country. He called to him in his delirium, and passed away the most wretched of mortals. There is a lesson in his career, no less than in that of Washington, which should appeal with no little force to the youthful mind at this season, when we all join in glad acclaim of the virtues and the greatness of the Father of his country. After the exercises boys' brigade went through a very creditable drill on the playground, marching down town with soldierly precision later. The day was also appropriately observed by patriotic exercises at West school. We append a number of essays which speak well not only for the scholars, but for the teachers as well: George Washington. BY PAULINE NEMETZ One hundred and sixty-two years ago in a plain, old-fashioned house in Westmorland county, Va., George Washington first saw the light. The little, bright-eyed baby gave little promise of his brilliant revolutionary career. His early education was not extensive. The education they gave at that time was of the simple kind, but Washington had a brother, Lawrence, who had been sent to England for his education. When he got back he had many strange things to tell George. Lawrence was made captain of the regiment in America for service in the English War. Washington took charge of the army at Cambridge, Mass., in the year 1775, it consisted mostly of farmers and mechanics. He bad about 16,000 men, but none of them knew anything at all about military discipline. Powder was captured from the English and bought from the French, and mines in Connecticut furnished lead for bullets. The British had captured Boston. In March, 1776, Washington occupied Dorchester Heights overlooking the city, making a night march, thinking thus to recapture Boston. The next day was stormy and prevented an attack. The British unable to hold Boston longer and so went to Halifax, March 17, 1776. Washington heard that the next place of attack would be New York, so he transferred all his men to Long Island, under Generals Putman and Sullivan. They had a little battle with General Howe's army and after a hard fight defeated. The next night was foggy, so Washington through a skillful maneuver, removed his forces to New York in a single night. Washington held New York until it became dangerous for his whole army. The British were driving the Americans northward all the time. At Harlem they had a skimish; at White Plains the American forces checked the British for a time but were afterwards obliged to retreat. When they reached North Castle the British were afraid to attack them because the place was too well fortified. Washington then left North Castle and started to go across New Jersey, the British following his army. The Americans made seventy miles in one day and blocked the roads so that it took the British seventeen days to go over the same road. When the Delaware river was reached, Washington destroyed all the boats for seventy miles along the river. When the British reached the river, they concluded to wait until the river was frozen over before they crossed it. Washington went into camponphe Pennsylvania side of the Delaware, opposite Trenton. On Christmas night, when the Hessians stationed at Trenton, were having a good time, Washington with 2,400 men crossed the Delaware and captured 1,000 of them, losing but four of his men. On December 30th, he took possession of the city. He next went to Princeton and fought a battle with the British in which the Americans were victorious. Washington, then with his army, went into winter quarters at Morriotown Heights, during the winter of 1776-1777. During the following spring, Cornwallis, stationed at New York, tried to draw Washington out from this safe position and to engage him in an unequal battle, but in this he was unsuccessful. The next attempt of the British made against Philadelphia, and Washington marched his men across New Jersey to meet and circumvent the enemy. The British intended to come up Delaware bay and river, but at the mouth of the river were two strong American forts, Fort Mifflin and Fort Mercer. Hence they were obliged to change their plans and sail up Chesapeake Bay to Elkton; thence they went overland to Philadelphia. Washington with an army met them at Brandywine. In this battle the Government was not united; the country contained many dissatisfied spirits ready to cause trouble; whole army of men was suddenly let loose how they would conduct themselves mainly to be seen. More than this, these of foreign nations were upon us, ready any time to hasten our downfall should be one slip. Our Treasury was empty; his tilties had all but commenced with France and also England. Foreign and domestic affairs raised a lofty obstruction before him. By surmounting these difficulties he showed his executive ability. Washington gave Hamilton charge of the Treasury at a debt, and left him to straighten out Hamilton was worthy of the honor, and did good work. The French thought that they had helped the United States in their revolutionary war, now the United States ought to help them. So they sent Jennette to the United States to get an army. He came a great deal of disturbance in the country and France was told to withdraw his Washington sent Jay to settle the trough with England, but he only half settled it. Washington declined the Presidency in the third term. The people did not wish him to do this, as they were very much pleased with his work while he was President. But in 1798 he published his farwell address to the American people. In he said he was tired of a public life as wished to rest. On release from office Washington spent his remaining days in quiet life on his Mount Vernon plantation His house was high and airy, with low verandahs. One day he was out in a store and took gold, and on the fourthteenth day he eased the eighteenth century he died. Thus endured the career of the man who was "First peace, first in war," and first in the hearts his countrymen." Characterization of Washington. BY EDNA WILLIAMS. In his boyhood Washington was all that a boy should be. He was truthful, as you all know from the story told of his father's cherry tree and his little hatchet. He was a fearless boy, and as people traveled most on horseback, young George was asked to break a great many wild horses, and betteth than this he was so just that his mates used to bring their quarrels to him be settled. He was a great painstaker all he did—his schoolbooks were always neat, and his copybooks which have been kept show how careful he was. As I grew older he improved in his ways. He was a gentleman, and so good kind that he won the respect and love of who knew him. He was coolheaded and brave. Didn't act hastily, but was always cool everything he attempted to do. He did not make up his mind hastily, but when he plans were once made they made it stay. He always thought before he made move, and the Americans generally were under his careful management. Washington was quiet and quick-witted, and though he was nearly caught several times by British soldiers in their revolutionary war he always managed in his cool, quiet way get out of his difficulties. He lost his temper only once that way known of, and that when he rebelled Lafayette for letting his soldiers retreat. He had a patience with carelessness as was also shown by this little incident. He always kept an pointments exactly at the appointed time and he was very religious as is shown by his praying before every battle. He was a very persevering and hard man, ready to face danger and cold for his country; he observed his men even though he was nearly freezing and starving himself... the teachers as well: George Washington. BY PAULINE NEMETZ One hundred and sixty-two years ago in a plain, old-fashioned house in Westmorland county, Va., George Washington first saw the light. The little, bright-eyed baby gave little promise of his brilliant revolutionary career. His early education was not extensive. The education they gave at that time was of the simplest kind, but Washington had a brother, Lawrence, who had been sent to England for his education. When he got back he had many strange things to tell George. Lawrence was made captain of the regiment in America for service in the English army against natives in the West Indies. The sight of his brother preparing for service in the army gave Washington his first desire for a soldier's life, and from that time all his amusements took a military turn. He made soldiers of his schoolmates. He was said to be the best runner and wrestler in all the country around. He was so just that his schoolmates used to bring their quarrels for him to settle. When Washington was eleven years old his father died, but his mother took pains to bring him up with manly ideas. He inherited from her a high-temper and a spirit of commanding, but her careful teaching restrained and governed him. Having no longer the teaching of his father he was obliged to go and live with his brother Lawrence at Bridge ock, where he was sent to school. He studied reading, arithmetic, writing and a little bookkeeping and surveying. Washington wanted to go with his brother to sea as a midshipman in the British navy, but his mother was unwilling to allow this. A great deal of the northern part of Virginia at this time belonged to Lord Fairfax, a nobleman. The hunting season had arrived, but in Virginia it required bold, skillful horsemanship. Fairfax found Washington as tall and eager to follow the hounds as himself, and took him into his favor, making him his companion. In the obase Washington gained knowledge of the whole country and the land beyond the Blue Ridge, which aided him greatly in after life. Lord Fairfax was anxious to have this land surveyed, and in 1748, when Washington was just sixteen years old, he was sent out to do it. He spent three years surveying, and then he was made major over the militia of Virginia. He took lessons in miltia drill from an old soldier and practiced sword service. The people of Virginia were looking forward to a war with the French, who claimed the country west of the Alleghany mountains. The English colonists had spread over the country east of the mountains and were beginning to cross the Alleghanies. The French built forts on the west side of the mountains and stirred up the Indians to prevent the English from coming into the rich valley of the Ohio. The Governor of Virginia resolved to send an officer to warn the French that they were on English ground. George Washington was appointed to undertake this dangerous errand. On his 22nd birthday he set out from Williamsburg on his journey through a wild country unknown and peopled by a savage tribe. At length after crossing swollen streams and rugged mountains and winding his way through almost pathless forests he reached the Ohio river. He crossed this safely, and on the 7th of December arrived winter quarters at Morristown Heights, during the winter of 1776-1777. During the following spring, Cornwallis, stationed at New York, tried to draw Washington out from this safe position and to engage him in an unequal battle, but in this he was unsuccessful. The next attempt of the British was made against Philadelphia, and Washington marched his men across New Jersey to meet and circumvent the enemy. The British intended to come up Delaware bay and river, but at the mouth of the river were two strong American forts, Fort Mifflin and Fort Mercer. Hence they were obliged to change their plans and sail up Chesapeake Bay to Elkton; thence they went overland to Philadelphia. Washington with an army met them at Brandywine. In this battle the Americans were defeated, and the capital was open to the British, who immediately occupied it. The American forces retreated to Valley Forge. Washington thought he might recapture Philadelphia, so he made the attempt. At Germantown he again met with a defeat, and was obliged to leave Philadelphia in the hands of the enemy. Disappointed, but not discouraged, he went back to Valley Forge for winter quarters during 1777-1778. Here he had 3,000 men without clothing, shoes and with very little food. In May, 1778, news came to America which surprised the British and cheered the Americans in the midst of their suffering. This news was that the French were going to furnish fifteen war ships and a force of 4,000 men to aid the Americans. When General Howe heard this resignation in despair and General Henry Clinton took command of the British forces. He was immediately ordered to abandon Philadelphia and therefore withdraw his forces to New York. But the heroes of Valley Forge were watching them. Washington followed along a parallel line and struck a blow at right angles at Monmouth, N. H., June 28, 1778. A day's hard fighting ended with a signal victory for Washington and his force. The British then withdrew to New York, and Washington went into winter quarters around that city. During the next two years he did very little fighting. Sir Henry Clinton and his army was in New York. Washington made Clinton believe that he was going to attack the city, but instead he intended to capture Yorktown, then fortified by British forces under Cornwallis; therefore he ordered De Grasse with his French fleet to blockade the mouth of the York river. Through some mistake, he blockedade the James river. Another French fleet was sent to prevent the escape of Cornwallis by way of York river. Washington surrounded Yorktown on the north by the French and American forces. On the south he put the French, and American artillery in the center, and the forces of both on the flanks, the French on the left and Americans on the right. After the cannonading had been kept up for twenty-four hours, Cornwallis asked for a cessation of hostilities and two days afterward, Oct. 19, 1781, he surrendered. This practically put an end to the war. Horticultural Commissioners were in regular session Friday morning, when Commissioner Hamilton reported that he had proceeded according to law against the owners of several orchards near Orange, and had had the orchards cleaned up in good order. Commissioner Huntington reported that 5,000 grapevines had been received in Anaheim from Riverside county, which had not been accompanied by a certificate from the commissioners from that county. As the vines were not to be planted in a vineyard, but in a churchyard instead, the boards agreed to allow them to be used. Commissioner Huntington was instructed to proceed according to law against the owners of several orchards near Anaheim, and Commissioner Rafferty against the owners of several orchards near Santa Ana, with a view to having them properly cared for.

NUMBER 17 PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. Secretary of State Waite has our thanks for a copy of the proposed constitutional amendments to be submitted to the people at the coming general election in November. There are nine amendments to be voted upon, and they should engage the serious attention of every voter. The first amendment provides for an educational qualification for voters hereafter to be admitted to the privileges of an elector. The requirements are that the applicant shall possess the ability to read the Constitution in English and write his own name. Certainly no elector incompetent to fulfill these mild educational requirements is safe in the exercise of the electoral franchise, and consequently the amendment should be carried. The second amendment is also of some importance and reads as follows: "Fruit and not-bearing trees under the age of four years from the time of planting in orchard form, and grapevines under the age of three years from the time of planting in vineyard form, shall be exempt from taxation, and nothing in this article shall be construed as subjecting such trees and grapevines to taxation." The third amendment provides that aliens bereft acquiring real estate in California can only hold the same while they are bona fide residents of the State, and that the Legislature may provide for the disposition of real estate which shall be acquired by such aliens by descent or devise. The fourth amendment provides for the consolidation of city and county governments with one set of officers where deemed advisable. The fifth amendment provides that there shall be one member of the State Board of Equalization from every congressional district. The sixth amendment relates to the proposed transfer of the State capital from Sacramento to San Jose and reads as follows: "The city of San Jose is hereby declared to be the seat of government of this State, and shall so remain until changed by law; but no law changing the seat of government shall be valid or binding unless the same be approved and ratified by a majority of the qualified electors of the State, voting therefor." LATE NEWS OF INTEREST. The officers and crew of the wrecked warship Kearsargo have arrived in New York on the City of Para. Lord Duuraven will build another yacht and come over again next year to contest for the America's cup. Advices from Guatamala announce that the republic has suspended payment, owing to the decline in silver, on its external debt. Sacramento is out after both Republican and Democratic State Conventions. The Populists have already decided to hold their State Convention there, May 22d. Dr. Eugene F. West, convicted of the murder by malpractice of Addio Gilmour, a young milliner, was sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment in the penitentiary. The Duke of Cambridge is the only member of British royalty who is exempt from letter postage. His position as commander-in-chief of the British army entitles him to this privilege. Patents on a large number of inventions have lately expired by limitation. Among the more important are breech-loading firearms, overstitch sewing machines, mowers, sewing machines, trenching machines, speed and distance indicators and revolving firearms. Chris Evans has donned a royal Bengal tiger suit at Folsom, and is known as convict 3,055. No one is allowed to see him, except his own family. George Sontag, limping around the prison yard, smiled grimly when he saw Evans going to the barber shop. Sidney Bell, the footpad and murderer, is seriously ill in Folsom Penitentiary with an attack of typho-malarial fever. He has wasted away very much and may succumb to the disease. He is the only sick person but one among 689 prisoners. The other is a case of enfeeblement arising from old age. It is reported on good authority that the cancerous growth in President Cleveland's mouth is again troubling him, that another surgical operation is necessary, and that the dispatch boat Dolphin has been ordered to Washington to take him ostensibly on a duck-hunting trip, but really to have an operation performed. During the boisterous sandstorm of Thursday last a California Southern train into appointing prominent men to position. He said: "I want men all known and loved by the country, so public will be more ready to trust His cabinet was made up of Hamerson, Knox and Randolph. Hington had a great many things to with. The Government was now used; the country contained many spirits ready to cause trouble; a cry of man was suddenly let loose—would conduct themselves rebelly be seen. More than this, the eyes nations were upon us, ready at to hasten our downfall should there be. Our Treasury was empty, hoo-dall all but commenced with France, England, Foreign and domestic need a lofty obstruction before him, amounting these difficulties he would executive ability. Washington built charge of the Treasury and left him to straighten out affairs, was worthy of the honor, and did ask. The French thought that as helped the United States in the war, now the United States help them. So they sent Jenet to Idaho to get an army. He caused real disturbance in the country, once was told to withdraw him. Sent Jay to settle the trouble and, but he only half settled it. Hington deplined the Presidency for term. The people did not wish to do this, as they were very much with his work while he was President in 1798 he published his farewell to the American people. In it he was tired of a public life and rest. On release from office spent his remaining days in a Mount Vernon plantation. He was high and airy, with long one day he was out in a storm cold, and on the fourteenth day of fourth century he died. Thus ended of the man who was "First in war, and first in the hearts of yeomen." PETERLATION OF WASHINGTON. BY EDNA WILLIAMS. Psychology Washington was all that old be. He was truthful, as you from the story told of his father's and his little hatchet. He was boy, and as people traveled mostly sick, young George was asked to eat many wild horses, and better he was so just that his school-tie bring their quarrels to him to He was a great painstaker in—his schoolbooks were always his copybooks, which have been how careful he was. As he is improved in his ways. Heeman, and so good and kind that he respect and love of who knew was coolheaded and brave. He hastily, but was always cool in the attempted to do. He did not his mind hastily, but when his once made they were made to always thought before he made a the Americans generally won careful management. Washing-quiet and quick-witted, and was nearly caught several times soldiers in the revolutionary war, managed in his cool, quiet way to his difficulties. His temper only once that we found that when he rebaked Lee his soldiers retreat. He had no with carelessness, as was also shown in incident. He always kept appa-exactly at the appointed time, as very religious, as is shown by before every battle. A very persevering and hardy to face danger and cold for him cheered his men, even though rarely freezing and starving himself. The fourth amendment provides for the consolidation of city and county governments with one set of officers where deemed advisable. The fifth amendment provides that there shall be one member of the State Board of Equalization from every congressional district. The sixth amendment relates to the proposed transfer of the State capital from Sacramento to San Jose and reads as follows: "The city of San Jose is hereby declared to be the seat of government of this State, and shall so remain until changed by law; but no law changing the seat of government shall be valid or binding unless the same be approved and ratified by a majority of the qualified electors of the State, voting therefor at a general State election, under such regulations and provisions as the Legislature, by a two-thirds vote of each house, may provide, submitting the question of change to the people; provided that the State shall receive a donation of a site of not less than ten acres and one million dollars before such removal shall be bad. The Governor, the Secretary of State and the Attorney General are hereby authorized to approve said site, and upon the approval thereof, and the payment of one million dollars into the State Treasury, the Legislature shall provide for the erection of the necessary buildings and the removal of the seat of government." The seventh amendment specifies what property shall be exempt from taxation, as follows: "Property used for free public libraries and free museums, growing crops, property used exclusively for public schools, and such may belong to the United States, this State, or to any county or municipal corporation within this State, shall be exempt from taxation. The Legislature may provide, except in case of credits secured by mortgage or trust deed, for a deduction from credits due to bona fide residents of this State." The eighth amendment adds to the State Board of Education the Professor of Pedagogy at the State University, and the ninth makes the pay of members of the Legislature $1,000 for the session. These amendments admit of a wide latitude of discussion and difference in opinion, and should therefore be thoroughly understood by every voter at the polls. They should be preserved accordingly and referred to from time to time as the campaign now impending, wears along. GO INTO SLAVERY WILL-INGLY. Far from dreading their sale, the girls of Circassia look forward to it as the greatest opportunity of their lives. They go to seek it as a conscious jewel might start in search of a costly setting. They show no more reluctance than Esther manifested when Mordecai delivered her over as one of the fair young virgins gathered from far and near to adorn the palace of Abasuerus. Indeed, the history of Esther reveals the motives which probably animate each of the many maidens of Circassia who to this day re-enact the old biblical story. Each believes it is she who may find grace and favor in the royal crown, and thus control at will the rise or fall of the royal scepter. But even if not chosen by royalty, those who purchase the beautiful damselfish of Circassia are the wealthy and titled, and not the slightest degradation is attached to their position, even if taken to harems, whorein a Turkish wife may be installed as head of the household. The common dependence of all the inmates of a harem upon the favor of a lord, who may at any time elevate a Circassian slave to the position of a lady, fosters a spirit of equality, of pure, practical democracy, that would be inconceivable under any other circumstances, and in our Southern Sidney Bell, the footpad and murderer, is seriously ill in Folsom Penitentiary with an attack of typhoid malaria fever. He has waived away very much and may succumb to the disease. He is only sick person but one among 689 prisoners. The other is a case of enfeeblement arising from old age. It is reported on good authority that the cancerous growth in President Cleveland's mouth is again troubling him, that another surgical operation is necessary, and that this dispatch boat Dolphin has been ordered to Washington to take him catensibly on a duck-hunting trip, but really to have an operation performed. During the boisterous sandstorm of Thursday last a California Southern train ran into a sand dune blown upon the track near San Bernardino, derailing the engine and turning it over, and upsetting the baggage car. The other cars kept the track. Engineer Barnes was badly cut about the head, but was not dangerously injured. The Artesia Water Supply Company have filed articles of incorporation in Los Angeles its purposes being to buy and sell water, to develop water by ditches canals artesian wells, and otherwise. Los Angeles is the principal place of business, and the Directors are: R Day, A G Blaindell, D. S Diffenbacher, William S. Clark and R. Clark. The capital stock is $200,000, of which $160,000 has been actually subscribed. The Southern Pacific Company has concluded that the taxation of its property in irrigation districts is an unwarranted imposition, and in order to obtain relief therefrom 21 petitions have been prepared and sent out to as many districts in which the directors are requested to absolve the railroad from such payment for its right of way. One of officials of the company has stated in San Francisco that the taxes amounted in the aggregate to $10,000 a year, and that the company believed there was no equitable reason why it should be compelled to pay them. Jacob Heaston, a wealthy Indiana horse-breeder, drew $1,500 from the bank at Warren to pay for a carload of horses, intending to go away early next morning. At midnight he was awakened by two masked men who demanded money. They had revolvers to enforce their demand. Heaston had the money under his pillow and at once produced it and gave it to the robbers who fled. He turned over in bed and went to sleep again and did not give the alarm until next morning. There is no clew to the robbers. There is little hope entertained at the Navy Department that the warship Kearnsarge, wrecked on Rancador reef, will ever again figure on the naval lists, for Secretary Herbert has been advised that the hull of the vessel has yielded to pounding of the heavy seas and is going to pieces. It is unlikely that anything of value will be recovered from the wreck, as the cost of wrecking operations would probably exceed the value of the property. None of the guns which did such effective work in the battle with the Alabama are aboard the wreck. John A.

All Paris is talking of the sensational debut of Jane Harding, whose selection by Director Carvalho to succeed Sybil Sanderson as Phoree in Saint Saens' opera of that name, caused much surprise. The debut attracted a large audience, although the debatable had been better known as a leader among the demi-monde than as an operatic star. As soon as Harding appeared on the stage, there was a storm of whistling, hissing and cat calls. This outburst was followed by a shower of dead rabbits, fish, cabbage, eggs, etc. Gentlemen in the stalls and a lady in one of the stage boxes were especially active in bombarding Harding. The lady had a perfect arsenal of such missiles, and at the end of the first set pressed through the crowd of indignant people and exclaimed: "Jane Harding robbed me of my husband and spent my fortune." In spite of her discouragement reception, Mile. Harding, who declared that it was the work of about 15 hostile persons, reappeared and has been highly praised by the librettist of the opera. Charles A. Dorr, only son of Toledo first Mayor, and a prominent business man, began divorce proceedings for the third time in the short space of three years against the same woman. About a month after the couple had been divorced for the first time they married again. Two years later Dorr filed another petition for divorce, alleging that his wife was untrue to him. This time the trial proved a farce, in which husband and wife exchanged winks and jokes across the courtroom. The case was thrown out of court, however. In the third petition for divorce, filed a few days ago, Mr. Dorr alleges that his wife is the star of a theatrical company known as the Queen, and that she has deserted him and has repeatedly disregarded her marriage vow. Arrangements have been completed for the enlargement of the Chino sugar factory and the addition of new machinery. The capacity will be increased to 1,000 tons of beets per day. Nearly 10,000 acres will be planted to beats, 3,000 at Anabeim, the balance at Chino and vicinity. The output of sugar last season was 7,250 tons. This will be increased to over 1,000 tons the coming season.

Another suit has been instituted by the Citizens' Bank of Los Angeles, presumably in the interests of the Bear Valley Company, against the Alessandro Irrigation District to force the payment of interest on $675,000 of bonds issued by the district, on which there is now due the semi-annual interest for the term ending January 1, 1894. The interest has been regularly paid by the district up to that time, but owing to the failure of the Bear Valley Company to extend its system according to contract and its inability to furnish water to the amount specified the district has refused to pay the interest on the bonds. The complaint covers sixty-six-pages of closely printed matter, and alleges 500 different causes of action. The San Bernardino Trustees have passed a sweeping ordinance on the first reading, closing nearly all classes of business on Sunday. The exceptions to the operation of the law are hotels, lodging or eating houses, restaurants, baths, retail drug stores, livery or feed stables, railroad, telegraph and telephone offices. Undertakers and physicians in the practice of their profession are not liable, and printing newspapers, selling bread and milk for immediate use, and operating affect car and railway and passenger trains are permitted. Any person violating the ordinance will be subject to a fine not to exceed $50 for the first offense, and for every subsequent offense not to exceed $100, or imprisonment not exceeding twenty days, or both fine and imprisonment. Petitions are being circulated, some to uphold the Trustees and others against them. Mrs. Eugene Nye, who lives over in Buffalo, N.Y., is just twenty years old and is very pretty. Previous to her marriage two years ago she was Miss Moore. Her father is a wealthy resident of Oakland. While Miss Moore was engaged to a business man of her city, she met Nye who is a drummer, and fell in love with him. An elopement was suggested and carried out. Moore disowned the girl, but when a few months later Nye deserted her and she was taken sick he relented and took her back to his home. A divorce followed and she promised to forget the drummer. They lived together a few months, but when she met Nye again the old flame was rekindled and she remarried him. They lived together a few months and then separated for good. Nye bothered her and was warned to leave her alone. He followed her and while she was walking with a gentleman, Nye appeared and punished her escort on the nose hard enough to make it bleed. Mrs. Nye went before Judge King and had her husband arrested. She said she did not want him sent to prison, but would be satisfied if the Judge would give him a lecture and get him to promise to leave her alone in the future. Nye promised and was lectured. Then they left court.
