REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE EXHIBITION, TO BE HELD IN HAZARD’S PAVILION, LOS ANGELES, FEBUARY 28TH TO MARCH 9TH. 1. Management—The management of the fair has been placed by the State Board of Agriculture in the hands of an Executive Committee, appointed at a meeting of representatives of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and of Southern California citrus fruit growers, held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, January 9, 1895. 2. Exchange and association—In order to compete for premiums in classes 1 and 2, the governing body of each exchange or association must authorize some one to make the entry. In case any county has no exchange, or in case any exchange or association declines to make an exhibit, the growers of such county, exchange or association can, at a regularly called meeting, authorize some one to make the proper entry. 3. Individual, association and exchange—The same set of exhibits may be entered for an individual exhibit, and with other individuals for an association or locality exhibit and with other associations or locality exhibits for an exchange or county exhibit. 4. Time—The fair will be open to the general public Thursday, February 28th, 1895, at 7 p.m., to continue through Saturday, March 9th. Exhibits should be in the building by Tuesday, February 26th, at noon. Entries will close Thursday, February 28th, at noon. Judging will begin at the time of opening. 5. Exhibitors—No fee for the entry of fruit for exhibition will be charged. Suitable tables for the display of fruit will be provided Sgobel & Day, the New York orange brokers, received a cable from a London house which deals extensively in Valencia oranges, saying: "Valencia crop frozen; hold firm." Mr. Day when seen regarding the situation, said: "The source of this information is such that it cannot be questioned, and similar cables have also been received by other houses. The crop of Valencia oranges is about half shipped, but enormous quantities are left, the full share of which would have come to this country under arrangements already effected. "It is possible that 2,000,000 cases were affected by the frost, and this will prevent a possibility of partially filling up the gap made by the loss of 2,000,000 boxes of Florida oranges during the recent freeze. The crop in Sicily is a full one, and heavy shipments are being made, based on the loss of the Florida crop. "All fruit received will be needed, for outside of the growing section of Jamaica the only source of supply is California, and our neighbors in that State are certainly having things their own way. The orange crop in California will equal just about 1,500,000 boxes (in round numbers), of which nearly 1,000,000 boxes are savels and the remainder seedlings. I judge that the visible supply of Valencia on route during the next thirty days would have been nearly 20,000 cases." Westervelt & Co. have received a cable from London, stating: "Valencia reports much damage done by the frost." Late in the afternoon the firm received the following cable: "Crop damaged by frost. The calculated extent of damage is 30 per cent partial and 30 per cent total." The Valencia crop was large this season, and the visible supply en route to New York for the next thirty days was estimated at between 15,000 and 20,000 cases. The mercury registered 30 degrees above zero. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR COLUMN. [Address all communications to or correspondence for this column to C. E. Holcomb, Fullerton, Cal.] I received the following communication from the Secretary last week: "A meeting of the Executive Committee, Orange county C. E. union, will be held in the Presbyterian Church, Santa Ana, at 3 o'clock P.M., February 16th. The president requests that you come prepared with suggestions. The object of this meeting is to arrange for our county C. E. convention." fight. You are surrounded by influences that are working against you spiritually. This christian life we have been hearing about is not a smooth tennis court, a play ground; it is a battle field. We are surrounded by mighty foes, but we have a mighty Helper. When the world comes in like a flood the Lord will help you. You must prepare yourself by prayer and watchfulness. 'Add to your faith virtue,' etc. "You cannot be kept right without the use of the right means. I will give you a few of them: Bible study, communion and christian-fellowship. First, let me say to all young Christians, trust the promises of God, make a great deal of them. Your faith must rest upon "Thus saith the Lord." Learn one of these precious promises every week and meditate upon it; that means fifty-two of these promises a year. The word of the Lord never changes, but feelings do. Then th'nkk too, how much higher the promises of God are than anything else we rest ourselves upon. Study and read books that will help and not hinder you. "Then if you have started right and if so far you have been kept right, my last word is, do right. The christian religion is the avowed enemy of selfishness; if the world would follow Christ's example all these social questions would be removed. The Lord does not call us to be christians simply that we may get into Heaven ourselves, but that we may be co-workers with him. Our work as christian endeavorers is to hasten the work of the Master’s kingdom. Christ has left us an example and we should follow in his footsteps by doing good, that is doing right. Are we willing to place ourselves on the altar of service and waiting there until the spirit of the Lord shall fill us so that we shall go out and do Christ’s work? We may say we have no talents; no christian effort ever falls in God's sight. No consecrated life is a failure." THE CHINESE FLEET DESTROYED. The Chinese fleet practically has ceased to exist. The ironclad Chen Yuen and her sister ship, the Ting Yuen, the two largest war ships in the Chinese navy, have been sunk, and the other vessels of the Chinese fleet are within the grasp of the Japanese. At daybreak on Sunday the Japanese fleet opened fire on the Lui Kung forts, which replied vigorously. The bombardment became terrific. The first Japanese division including the flagship, directed its force against the eastern island batteries, while the second CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR COLUMN. [Address all communications to or correspondence for this column to C. E. Holcomb, Fullerton, Cal.] I received the following communication from the Secretary last week: "A meeting of the Executive Committee, Orange county C. E. union, will be held in the Presbyterian Church, Santa Ana, at 3 o'clock P.M., February 16th. The president requests that you come prepared with suggestions. The object of this meeting is to arrange for our county C. E. convention." I do not know who all are members of this committee, but if any reader of this column has any "suggestions to suggest" I suggest that they suggest 'em to me, then I'll have a suggestion. Miss Jones is also a member of this committee from this section. We should all take an active interest in the coming county convention, and do all possible to make it a success. Therefore, if you have any ideas that you wish presented to the committee and are not yourself a member, tell them to some one who is, and they will be acted upon. We have talked a great deal in regard to a city union between Anaheim and Fullerton C. E. societies and are no nearer a conclusion I think than when we commenced. We are all in favor of it, I think, so let's appoint a time for organization. Now, the way to organize, is just to—organize. So suppose a good number of you Auaheim endeavors talk it over among yourselves this week, agree on some time and a place for meeting next week, and announce it in all the Anaheim Young People societies. Then about the next thing you'll know we'll be united and that will make the union. How would some night near February 20th do? The program for the first meeting should be informal. It might be a good thing to have a question box, and every one who would desire information on any form of the work could write out the question, bring it to the meeting and have it answered. By the way, I have an idea. Why would it not be a good plan for each society that is interested in this column to furnish most of the copy for one week? In that way we would hear from each society in at least two months. Let the press committee or the president select several of the members, assign them subjects and let each prepare a short article. This would give us a good variety and would be profitable and interesting to all. This would not shut out any one from any other society from contributing, for if we get too much for one week, remember that there will be another week coming. I will ask Miss Beaizley to take control next week. SOME C. E. NEWS. Every one of the 1,200 convicts in the Kentucky penitentiary at Frankfort received a letter from the C. E. society of Louisville on Christmas day. These letters were of a religious character and were worded differently. Some of the convicts signified their intention of answering the letters. There are forty-three societies in Queensland with a membership of 1,500. The Presbyterians lead in the work, then the Congregationalists, then the Baptists and then the Methodists. Some "spear points" from Ram's Horn: We pray the most for what we do not need. A self-made man always spoils the job somewhere. We have our own sins when we see them full grown in somebody else. Some people think they are growing in grace because they can do wrong and not feel bad. THE CHINESE FLEET DESTROYED. The Chinese fleet practically has ceased to exist. The ironclad Chen Yuen and her sister ship, the Ting Yuen, the two largest war ships in the Chinese navy, have been sunk, and the other vessels of the Chinese fleet are within the grasp of the Japanese. At daybreak on Sunday the Japanese fleet opened fire on the Lui Kung forts, which replied vigorously. The bombardment became terrific. The first Japanese division including the flagship, directed its force against the eastern island batteries, while the second division shelled Fort Seihi. The Chinese fleet soon came to the assistance of the forts. The Ting Yuen used her guns with effect, but only succeeded in diverting some of the Japanese fire from the forts to herself. The Lai Yuen, a smaller ship, also fought well. There were many casualties. Two Chinese gunboats also assisted, but were not badly damaged. These four vessels fought desperately until dark, when the firing ceased on both sides. The Chinese forts, especially Fort Seihi, suffered great damage. The Chinese fire toward evening indicated that the guns were disabled, that the gunners were killed, or that ammunition was becoming scarce. The sea was rough on Sunday, but fearing that the Chinese would endeavor to escape, the Japanese fleet did not seek shelter, and remained to block the exits from the harbor. During the night the Japanese learned from a prisoner who had been captured aboard that Admiral Ling, the Chinese naval commander, had ordered the captains of the various ships to remain inside the harbor even if the islands should be captured, and endeavor to destroy the Japanese fleet. Every officer was ordered to remain at his post until the last, under pain of dishonor or death. The bombardment was resumed next day, Sunday's operations being repeated. The fire from Fort Seihi continued weak. The Chinese men-of-war were so repeatedly and badly hit that their guns were handled with difficulty and with less spirit. Toward the close of the fight the Ting Yuen and Chuen Yuen were disabled. They gradually settled down, and foundered amid the shores of Japanese both on land and sea. HISTORIC BATTLES. At Gravelotte there were 320,000 men opposed, and the killed and wounded numbered 48,000. At the battle of Agincourt 62,000 men were present, and the slain numbered 11,-400, or 28 per cent. At Sadowa, 1866, 402,000 men were opposed, of whom 33,000 were killed, wounded or taken prisoners. At the battle of Bannockburn there were 135,000 men engaged, and the slain numbered 38,000, or 28 per cent. At Borodino there were 250,000 men drawn up in hostile array. Before night 78,000, or 31 per cent., had been killed or wounded. At Gettyburg 140,000 men were opposed and of their number the total Federal loss was 28,198 the total Confederate loss was 37,000. At Poitiers, in 1355, 80,000 French were defeated by the Black Prince with less than 50,000 men. The French king John was captured and his army completely routed. In the battle of Marengo 58,000 men participated, and of that number 13,000 were killed or wounded, about 22 per cent. Napoleon thought Marengo his greatest victory. At Waterloo 149,000 men were engaged, of whom 51,000 were killed, wounded or taken prisoners. In proportion to the number engaged, Waterloo was one of the bloodiest battles of history, no less than 25 per cent. of the whole number being placed hors RAIDED BY WILD BEASTS. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 8.—The coldest weather known in this State was experienced here yesterday and last night, the thermometer registering as low as 2 degrees below zero, and the local forecaster predicts a still greater fall in the temperature. In the country will be beasts have been made desperate, and many tales of adventure are reported. Near Danville, while Mrs. Baker was milking, a big bear entered her house and made off with her four-year-old child. Mrs. Baker gave chase with a dog and recovered the child, but not before it had been severely bitten by the bear. J. W. Ballard, a Green county farmer, had a little tussle with a hungry panther while en route home, accompanied by his young son. The panther sprang upon his mule from a tree near the roadside, and the sudden shock frightened himself and son half to death. In an encounter he succeeded in killing the animal, but received several gashes from the panther's teeth. Wolves, panthers and other animals are making the nights hideous in the bottoms of Saline, Hot Springs, Montgomery and Grant counties, and reports from there say flocks of sheep of several farms have been decimated from attacks of wolves, while loss in cattle and hogs is enormous. A wagon containing several negroes was chased two miles across the bottoms in Roodruff county by a pack of wolves, the men only saving themselves by the free use of clubs, with which they kept the animals at bay. ABOUT THE FROST. Cables to the market last week reported a bad freeze in the Valencia orange groves. 14. Judges—No person will be allowed to serve as judge in any class where he is a competitor, except in the classes known as thirties. In case the regularly appointed judges are not present, others may be appointed by the Executive Committee. A majority of the judges in any class shall constitute a quorum for decision. 15. Scale for judging—The California scale for judging citrus fruits adopted by the State Board of Horticulture, will be used by the judges as far as practicable. Under this scale fruit larger than 3¼ inches in diameter, or smaller than 2-7-16 inches in diameter is subject to discount. The following changes, however, are introduced: Seeds are reduced to 4 points and grain increased to 8 points. 16. Responsibility—The greatest precaution will be used for the safe preservation of exhibits, but the committee will not be responsible for loss or damage. 17. Directions for shipment—All goods intended for exhibit should be addressed to Frank Wiggins, Superintendent, Hazard's Pavilion, with the exhibitor's name on each box. Printed shipping tags will be sent to all who intend to make exhibits. RAIDED BY WILD BEASTS.

Some people think they are growing in grace because they can do wrong and not feel bad. Below we give a very interesting synopsis of Rev. Willett's address at Buena Park last Sunday. It was received too late for publication last week: E endeavor day was observed at Buena Park, as announced last week, by the use of the program published by the United society, "The Good of it," which is a practical illustration of the ideal Christian Endeavor society, for the benefit of Caspar Critic, who had failed thus far to see "The good of it." He is in the end converted, and one of the first signs of relenting was noticed when the missionary collection was taken, which amounted to $745. There was a good attendance, and the exercises passed off pleasantly, followed by an address by Mr. Willet, who is thoroughly in sympathy with the society and its work. May his words and the lines of the beautiful closing hyma remain with us. Words: O Christ, are dead and fruiless Till Thy life they gain; Rising thoughts that do not please Thee Still on earth remain; If Thou dost not bless our meeting, We have met in vain. Father, may the power Thou givest Never wane or cease; Saviour, from the sins that bind us, Grant us swift release; Holy Spirit, lead Thy children To Thy perfect peace. Extracts from address given by Rev. Geo. Willett before the Buena Park C.E. Society on February 3rd, 1895: "Ours is a Christian Endeavor, we need to be Christians through and through; there are many good disposed young folks, who though they have not rejected Christ yet have not accepted him. Is it not true that a person who has not decided for Christ has decided against him? If you would do something for the souls about you, you must start right now. No one else can decide it for you, your parents cannot decide it for you, your pastor cannot decide it for you; if so you would have been a christian years ago. The Saviour has said, 'I have died for you.' Heaven and earth are waiting for your decision. Start right now." "If you have started right then the next word I have for you is keep right. Your feet are on the rock, keep them there. In our day this means a great deal of earnest" WHEN MARY ANN'S ACOPPER. Whin Mary Ann's a copper, arrah, thin will be the days.

He was mail carrier between Emigrant Gap and English Mountain, and perished while carrying the mail. The snow is 20 feet deep where his body is supposed to be and it may not be recovered for weeks. County Assessor Vegeley has appointed the following deputies: W. H. Marquis, chief office deputy; Robert Flock, Santa Ana; A. C. Jennings, Anaheim, Fullerton and Buena Park road districts; R. E. Larter, Westminster, Garden Grove, Newhope and Newport districts; Henry Yount, Tustin, Delhi, San Juan, Laguna and Trabuco districts; B. C. Barker, Orange, Olive, Yorba and Silverado districts. Samuel C. George, a farmer of Canton, O., has begun suit against George D. Saxton, a retired capitalist, and brother-in-law of Gov. McKinley, for $30,000 damages for alleged alienation of his wife's affections Mrs. George had dressmaking rooms in the Saxton building, and there the acts of adultery charged are said to have been committed. Mrs. George finally went to South Dakota and secured a divorce. The plaintiff charges that her expenses were defrayed by Saxton. In San Francisco on Saturday morning a orank named Holland fired two shots from a revolver at I. W. Hellman as he was walking from his residence to the Nevada bank. The balls wide of their mark, and Hellman skipped agilely around the corner. Holland then blew out his brain and died. He had brooded over a charge brought by the bank against him for forgery, and had determined to kill Hellman to make things even. The shooting caused a great sensation throughout the city. Judge Ross in the United States district court at Los Angeles has decided the odious twilight patent of Wall, Jones and Bishop, whereby they sought to levy tribute upon the orange orchardists fumigating for scale, to be void. The gas treatment had been discovered before this grasping trionoverate sought to restriit its use to the night time, when the best results of fumigating are obtainable; but the Judge decides that the night is not patentable. There was quite a lively contest in the annual election of officers for the Sunset Irigation District in Freno county last Wednesday, resulting in the defeat of all the old officers, excepting Milton McWhorter of Selma. The following Directors were elected: E. F. Mitchell, Milton McWhorter, W. G. The run of 2,100 miles. Admiral Beardslee went to sea to make an emergency run. His orders from the Navy Department were to proceed to Honolulu with dispatch. The Australia, leaving twenty-four hours later, arrived at Honolulu nearly forty-eight hours ahead of the Philadelphia. That the cruiser was pushed hard on the run is shown by her consumption of coal, which averaged 110 tons a day for the trip. The average of speed attained was, according to the engineers, 219 knots a day. In explaining the failure to make time, the officers said that the Philadelphia's bottom was foul and that they encountered heavy weather all the way. The Philadelphia came off the dry dock five or six months ago, and it hardly seems likely that the foulness of her bottom could account for the slow time. The Australia encountered the same weather and made her time on forty-one tons of coal a day. Florida had last Thursday night another killing frost. Palm Beach, on Lake Worth, was the warmest point in the State Friday morning, the mercury showing 35 deg. above zero. On top of the freezing temperature of the preceding night, Tampa reported snow falling at daybreak and at 9 o'clock the storm was increasing. This is unprecedented in that Florida latitude. The mercury fell to 14 deg. above zero in Jacksonville. At Jupiter it was 26, at Tampa 22, and at Titusville 18 deg. At Key West and Palm Beach the mercury dropped from 54 to 35 deg. These were the only points in the State above freezing. Oranges and other fruit trees are probably all killed, except the oldest and toughest of them, for they were budding and full of sap, and therefore particularly susceptible to cold. The loss will aggregate many millions of dollars. The average life of a tree is thirty years, which means fully twenty prospective crops for trees beginning to bear. All early vegetables are ruined, and 100,000 boxes of strawberries, which would have been shipped from February 20 to March 10, are destroyed. The plants are also ruined. There will probably be no early strawberries from Florida this season. The news of the sinking of the Chinese ironclads Chen-Yuen and Ting-Yuen has caused especial interest to attach to the fate of the former because of the fact that her commander, Philo McGriffin, was for years a resident of Brooklyn. He has many relatives who reside there at the present time. McGriffin, who was a graduate of Annapolis, was known as a fearless, dashing young man, fond of adventure, but also fond of books. He became a little nettled because some of his associate officers secured ratings CHINESE FLEET DESTROYED. The fleet practically has ceased to conquer Chen Yuen and her sister Yuen, the two largest war Chinese navy, have been sunk, and vessels of the Chinese fleet are grappled of the Japanese. On Sunday the Japanese fleet in the Lui Kung forts, which recently, the bombardment became the first Japanese division included in ship, directed its force against island batteries, while the second failed Fort Seih. The Chinese came to the assistance of the forts. When used her guns with effect, decided in diverting some of the from the forts to herself. Then, a smaller ship, also fought were many casualties.

The gas treatment had been discovered before this grasping trinverulate sought to restrict its use to the night time, when the best results of fumigating are obtainable; but the Judge decides that the night is not patentable. There was quite a lively contest in the annual election of officers for the Sunset Irrigation District in Fresno county last Wednesday, resulting in the defeat of all the old officers, excepting Milton McWhorter of Selma. The following Directors were elected: E. F. Mitchell, Milton McWhorter, W.G. Scott, J. N. Kink, D. S. Fish; tax collector, C.O. James; assessor, Frank P. Murray; treasurer, S. N. Hoyt. Charges of fraud have been freely made against the former management of the district. A couple of weeks ago the Legislature by almost unanimous action, abolished the act providing for the payment of a bounty for coyote scalps, and it was the first bill Governor Budd signed. A few days ago, Senator Gleaves of Redding caused surprise in the senate by introducing a bill providing for the payment of a bounty of three cents for the scalp of each jack-rabbit. As the festive jacks roam the hills and valleys in countless numbers the hunters could soon reap a golden harvest. The San Joaquin valley counties would speedily revive the old sport of rabbit drives. Senator McGowan moved to strike out the word "rabbits" and insert that of "senators," but did not receive a second. The Golden Gate is to be protected by three of the biggest guns in use in the United States. They will be pointed seaward from vantage positions on either side of the gate, and they are calculated to furnish a complete defense against any craft that might escape the shells which the new mortar batteries will send out to sea for a distance of six miles. These guns are as long as seven averaged-sized men, and two men might easily crawl into the bore of each of the iron wondery. They weigh approximately fifty-seven tons each, or 271,400 pounds in all. Each gun has a length of forty feet, a diameter of 46.4 inches, and a circumference of twelve feet two inches at the greatest point. Two of the guns are to be transported to the upper batteries of the fortifications on the Fort Point bluffs, and the third one is to be transported to the fortifications on top of Lime Point. When the Board of Supervisors of Fresno met the other day, they found their rooms filled with old Mexicans, men and women. More than twenty were present and all were strangers in Fresno. No one remembered having seen them before. When questioned they said that they had come to ask to be put on the county's pension list for indigents. It has been the county's custom to pay certain indigents $5 to $15 per month for support. Investigation showed that scalpers had been buying all these warrants at a discount, by explaining that the county would not pay for some time. Not content with the county's present indigent list these men have gone among the Mexican settlements and told all the old and feeble pai-sances that the county would give them pensions if they would apply. The Mexicans believed it, and were present in force to demand pensions. Most of them are poor, but are comfortably provided for at home and will not be pensioned. The Supervisors are indignant at the scalpers. The orange growers in Florida are not meeting with total loss on account of the heavy frosts during the holidays. The frost-bitten fruit is reported as being shipped all over the country now, and is sold at figures that will lessen the loss of growers by a handsome sum. Arrivals of frozen oranges in New York for the last ten days have been heavy, which has led the health authorities to make an investigation as to the wholesomeness of the frost-bitten fruit. It has been decided that the fruit is deleterious to health, and several cargos have con- trees now beginning to bear. All early vegetables are ruined, and 100,000 boxes of strawberries which would have been shipped from February 20 to March 10 are destroyed. The plants are also ruined. There will probably be no early strawberries from Florida this season. The news of the sinking of the Chinese ironclads Chen-Yuen and Ting-Yuen has caused especial interest to attach to the fate of the former because of the fact that her commander, Philo McGriffin, was for years a resident of Brooklyn. He has many relatives who reside there at the present time. McGriffin who was a graduate of Annapolis, was known as a fearless, dashing young man, fond of adventure, but also fond of books. He became a little nettled because some of his associate officers secured ratings a trifle higher at examinations, resigned from the United States navy and enlisted in the Chinese navy which was then commanded by an English officer, Admiral Lang. Rear Admiral Erben of our navy was especially fond of the young officer. He is said to have been greatly dissappointed when McGriffin quit the United States service, but predicted for him a brilliant future. When McGriffin acquired fame as a result of the war between China and Japan, Rear Admiral Erben remarked that he was not surprised and added: "The young man who surpassed him in examinations has never been heard of in naval circles, but McGriffin was of the right kind. He was bound to come to the front." McGriffin has written some letters to relatives and friends in Brooklyn, giving graphic accounts of the naval battle at Yaloo between the Chinese and Japanese. News of his fate will be watched for with much anxiety. The many friends of pretty Kate MoInness, who knew how ardently Ben Carmichael loved her, have just learned that she has lost her English husband whom she had expected for so many years to secure. They know also that she has in hand as a reminder of the affair, several million kisses which are to her only dead leaves of passion. Kate is the daughter of J. McInnes, a retired wholesale grocer of Vallejo, Cal. She received her early education in a convent in Southern California. On one of her vacations she visited friends of her parents in San Francisco. The place was a fashionable boarding house and there she met Ben Carmichael,a handsome young Englishman with manners that completely won her. That was in 1884. Ben went to England, but his letters each of which contained 50,000 kisses,came regularly.He finally wrote Kate to come to England,and they would be married.A short time after her arrival in London,Carmichael informed her he had married another girl.Kate was stunned,but made no further ado.She went to Leedswhere she had friends,taking her griefs.trunks,kisses and all.The kisses were a burden now,and she felt like burning them.The were cold and dead.But.on second thought,she concluded to save them.She brought suit in Leeds against Ben for breach of promise. Then it was that the story was told of those letters.Kate had received 105 of them This would makethe total of Ben's kisses five and a quarter millions,andthe Judge fairly gasped whenthe figureswere set before him.The jury gave her damages in$1,000.
