The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Ruckel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... NOVEMBER 26, 1896 The proposition made the water board on Saturday by a young attorney of Santa Ana, to dispose to it the waters running in the Chino creek, involves upon the face of it several very unique essentials. In the first place, we have a notion that the alleged owners of this water have about as much right to offer for sale the snows mantling the crest of Old Baldy as to bargain for the disposition of the waters in the Chino creek. But granting they have that right, how is the water company to bring the flow unimpeded down into their system of ditches? How much money will it take to purchase right of way to connect the Chino creek with our irrigation system? Or will it be cheaper to permit the flow of the waters of the Chino creek to enter into the Santa Ana river at a point above Bedrock canyon? If so, what becomes of the decision of the courts giving the other side of the river half of the water in the river? And how much of the water would the former Superintendent Gardiner of the other side cabbage by virtue of his privateditch, taking the "seepage water" from below the dam of the Orange company? On the other hand, how much of the water flowing in the Chino creek eventually finds its way by seepage into the river and then goes into the ditches of our company? When these questions are satisfactorily settled, it will be time enough to discuss the purchase of water running in the Chino creek—always provided the ownership of the waters in the tortuous creek are settled beyond dispute.

GOOD PRICES REALIZED IN THE EAST FOR THE THANKSGIVING TRADE. New York, Nov. 24. Large sales of California, Jamaica and Spanish fruit are being made for the Thanksgiving trade and for the holidays. T. Goodsell of the Good-sell Fruit company last night said that the fruit market had responded to the excellent demand that exists just prior to a holiday, so that prices for all kinds of products were very good and business active. Until within a few days low prices have prevailed, but now prices advanced from 25 to 50 per cent. The last shipment of California grapes is now coming into the market, and yesterday's sales of Tokaya and Emperor-a grape similar to the Tokay—a result in the fruit bringing $3 to $4 per double crate of forty pounds. The first direct steamer bringing a large cargo of new crop Sicily lemons has just arrived, and the fruit is selling at an average of $3 per box of 300 lemons, as against $1.75 that ruled about a month ago for similar grades. Jamaica oranges are arriving in large quantities, and 4,000 packages sold yesterday at from $2.50 to $3.25 per box of 200 oranges. Jamaica grape fruit sold at about $7 per barrel. The first lot of Mexican oranges that have arrived this season was received yesterday. The fruit was not in good condition, and 600 boxes sold at about $2.25 per box. At the salesrooms of Brown & Secomb, 1165 packages of California grapes yesterday sold at $1.15 to $3.05 per package; 220 barrels of Jamaica oranges went at $4 to $4.25 per barrel; 125 boxes of Jamaica oranges at $2.05 to $2.87 per box, and 5,200 barrels of Algeria grapes at $1.72 to $1.87. The California grapes that have not quite as good keeping qualities at the Spanish are being put on the market as they arrive, and will all be consumed by the end of December. The choice qualities of the Spanish grapes will be put out in January. The last cargo of Algeria grapes for the season has already come in. The total importation will be 100,000 barrels short of that of last year on account of the short crop but prices are not proportionately higher. Ben Havner's Flattery. From the Pomona Beacon.

There can be no question that very many of the differences, mental and bodily, that exist between the average Frenchman and the average Englishman are caused by the distinct methods of education that prevail on the different sides of the channel. You would not like your son's only schooling to be obtained in France. On the other hand, you have a pretty distinct belief that if French boys were sent over here young enough and put to good English schools, they would grow up into a very fair sort of Britons. A typical story of the ways of French schoolboys, with their ushers, is reported in recent morning papers. Some spirits had been smuggled into one of the dormitories—a thing, we fear, not altogether unknown in some English establishments. It is even conceivable that the English master who discovered the bottle would have confiscated it to his own use, but this would not have been at the invitation of his pupils. But the French plenion question was contented to make one of the party, and as he was not so used to rum as his pupils, he got so terribly drunk that he died. Happily for the French boys, their compulsory military service gives them an opportunity, later on for learning a little discipline—Pall Mall Gazette. The Thief Discovered. An employee in an up town resort has been held under suspicion for some time, and came near losing his position, on account of the antics of a big tomcat. For weeks the cash registers, when counted at the close of the day's business, showed a deficit of several dollars, and no clew could be had to explain the mysterious absence of the money. The proprietor, having great confidence in his employee, was mystified, and not until a few nights ago was the matter made clear. While alone in the place, after closing hours, the proprietor was startled to hear the clerk of the registers, followed by repeated clicks, like those of a novice upon the keys of a piano. Looking up, he found his pet cat playing upon the keys of the register and apparently enjoying the performance as much as if he were a feline Paderewski. Vindicated the Law. A friend of Representative Calberson of Texas related the following incident: "When Mr. Calberson was prosecuting attorney," he said, "there was a criminal statute universally disregarded.

The establishment was due largely to the efforts of the first Napoleon who gave encouragement to chemists, agriculturists and manufacturers. In 1812 by decree he established schools and factories for the extraction of sugar from the beet. He ordered the cultivation of 100,000 acres, which it was estimated would produce 37,000 tons of sugar, at that time sufficient for the wants of France. Sugar was exempted from tax for four years. Soon after the duty on foreign sugar was raised. From 1822 to 1825, 100 factories produced 5000 tons annually. In 1838, a duty of 1.6 cents per pound was imposed on beet root sugar, and in 1840 it was increased to 2.6 cents. In 1843 began an annual increase for five years, and in 1848 the duty was equalized with that on colonial sugar. From 1822 the increase in production of sugar was rapid. In 1828 the production was 4404 tons; in 1838, 43,000 tons; in 1858, 150,000 tons; in 1875, 462,259 tons; and in 1884, 1,200,000. Not only vast quantities are exported, but the home consumption is very great. It rose from 55,000 tons in 1825 to 200,000 in 1862, and 401,000 in 1887, or from four pounds to twenty-three pounds per inhabitant between the dates given. There is no doubt that France would have been unable to meet so promptly the consequences of her last war unaided by her agricultural wealth due to the best root factories of the north and the vineyards of the south. A similar policy was adopted in Russia, Germany, Hungary, Belgium and Holland, namely, protection to beet root sugar, and with similar results. In 1830 there were no beet root factories in Europe outside of France. In 1876 the tons produced were as follows: Germany.....346,645 Russia.....245,000 Hungary.....153,922 Belgium.....79,796 Holland.....30,000 France.....462,259 Total.....1,317,623 The production of sugar from the beet is followed by repeated checks on those of a novice upon the keys of a piano.

Then he left town, and no one knew where he had gone until he and the prisoner, who had been taken to the penitentiary, returned together. Mr. Culberson had gone to the governor, obtained a pardon, and met the convict at the penitentiary with it. The law had been vindicated, and there were no more violations of that statute in Jefferson."—Washington Star. Not Known Muses. The unmusical manager who protested when he found a performer in his orchestra holding his bow during a rest, saying to him, "I don't pay you to rest!" was the same one who, on another occasion, was superintending the arrangement of some performers who were representing allegorical characters. "Here in front," said the author of the piece which was to be given, "we will put the nine muses." "Nine muses!" exclaimed the great manager contemplatively.

Catarrh is caused by impure blood. This fact is fully established. Therefore, it is useless to try to cure catarrh by outward applications or inhalants. The true way to cure catarrh is to purify the blood. Hood's Sarasaparilla, the great blood purifier, cures catarrh by its power to drive all impurities from the blood. Thousands of people testify that they have been perfectly and permanently cured of catarrh by Hood's Sarasaparilla.

John Welton met a horrible death at a gallobury ground, at Double Springs, Alabama, while acting as one of the pall-bearers in the funeral of Junius Roberts, a farmer. The coffin was being lowered into the grave strape, and the strap held by Welton had another man snapped. Welton lost his balance and fell headlong into the grave six feet deep. At the same time the rear end of the coffin which had been held by the broken strap, also plunged downward. The killing coffin struck Welton on the head and injured him against the side of the grave, which was hard soil. Welton was extricated but died two hours afterward.

The three-year-old child died instantly, the angular vein having been severed, and the older one was not at last accounts expected to live. The husband was at work in barn a short distance from the house, which he had left only a few minutes before, and when he returned the mother and the three children were found lying on the floor washed in their own and each other's blood. The awful deed had been accomplished by the aid of a common butter knife, the blade being driven into the throats of the victims. Neighbors did everything possible for the survivors, there being no doctors in that remote neighborhood. Mrs. Swearnier had been in ill-health for some time and is believed to be insane. The leading officers of the National Guard have about settled upon the sum they will ask the Legislature to appropriate for the state soldiery for the next two years. At a conference between Gen.

WEYLER RETURNS UNEXPECTED HOME-COMING OF THE CAPTAIN-GENERAL — HAS HIS CAMPAIGN AGAINST MACEO FAILED? HAVANA, Nov. 24.—The unexpected arrival here of Capt. Gen. Weyler from the province of Pinar del Rio without having been successful in bringing about an engagement of any importance with the insurgents under Antonio Maceo is causing considerable comment here to-day, and there are many rumors in circulation. On one side it is asserted Weyler's return means that he will shortly return to Spain on some plan or another. This is denied, however. The impression prevails that there will shortly be important changes here. La Lucha's correspondent in the field has an interview with the captain-general previous to the latter's arrival here from Arlime. It is gathered from statements the captain-general is said to have made that he will not resume personal charge of the insurgents in Pinar del Rio. The captain-general was asked for an opinion as to the course of the campaign and said: "I am content with it. We entered Rubio hoping to give battle to the combined insurgent forces, and you know the result. They went southward much to our regret. Maceo has gone toward Mocurrias, Mayria and Corojada. Nevertheless our columns in two divisions arrived without firing a shot, and only saw a band of about one hundred and fifty insurgents in the woods near San Lais." HAVANA, Nov. 23.—Captain-General Weyler arrived here this evening on board the cruiser Le Gaypi from Mariel. WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla., reciting that a cipher telegram was received from Havana, in which it is stated that General Weyler was driven to return to Havana through fear, is discredited here. From the Spanish point of view it would be absurd for the Captain-General to place himself at the head of the troops and follow the straggling bands of insurgents from one cover to another. HAVANA, Nov. 24—It is probable that Capt.-Gen. Weyler will return to the province of Pinar del Rio to-morrow to resume an active campaign against the insurgents under Antonio Maceo. The Captain-General was asked if he knew the whereabouts of Maceo at present. He answered: "His whereabouts are not known. The truth is that the insurgents were not found in the mountains nor on the plains. Nevertheless they boast that our troops always fly before them." Gen. Weyler was then asked if many cattle remained in the part of Pinar del Rio which he had visited and he said: "Not many. Only a few bullocks and calves remain, the insurgents have killed or captured many and the Spanish columns will finish the rest." Speaking of his operations since leaving Havana, the Captain-General explained that he had been all over the mountains and had camped several nights in the woods. From other sources it had been learned that The leading officers of the National Guard have about settled upon the sum they will ask the Legislature to appropriate for the state soldiery for the next two years. At a conference between Gen. James, Adj.-Gen. Barrett and Col. Currier it was decided that the entire guard noods new uniforms, overcoats and blankets. For encampment purposes for the two years, whether the encampments be division, brigade or regimental, 78,000 is wanted. This is figured on the basis of $3 a year per man for transportation in an estimate of 4,000 men going into camp. The average camp expenses of each man a day is put at 70 cents. The medical arm of the service may at last be put into a fair condition, as $5,000 will be asked for abunces, hospital outfits and other equipments for each regiment. Besides this there will be the general statutory appropriation to run the guard. Adj.-Gen. Barrett will save this week for Washington. He will confer with the head of the War Department to get an exchange of arms and equipments as well as to secure another boat for the navy battalion. Joseph Thomas, a young man of Jackson, Amador county, about 22 years of age, was shot and killed near the residence of his father-in-law, John Payton, about four miles from Amador, by his brother-in-law. The deceased was married about a year ago to Payton's daughter, but they had separated owing to the husband's abuse, and then rejoined each other. A second separaced a few days ago. Thomas was in the habit of going to see his wife, but had been told to keep away or suffer the consequences. Sunday morning at about 5 o'clock he left Amador on horseback, and went direct to the Payton place, arriving there at about 6 o'clock. The Paytons say that he made a threat to enter the house to see his wife Robert W. Payton, aged about 22 years, came to the door. The Paytons claim, and there are no other witnesses to the tragedy, that Thomas commenced to shoot with a pistol, when Payton shot at him with a rifle, striking him in the shoulder, the ball going entirely through his body. There was one chamber empty in Thomas' pistol, and the fall from it entered Payton's arm. It took all the police reserves of Newark, N.J., Tuesday night to save Slattery, the ex-priest, from being mobbed. At the close of his lecture a crowd gathered at the doors to wait for his appearance on the street, Slattery and his wife waited in the church until the crowd began to disperse. A guard of twenty-five policemen then escorted the couple to a cab, which was in waiting. Then the calman lashed his horse and made away through the mob. Orders in the meantime had been issued for police reserves, who came double quick to the scene of the trouble. As many as three or four thousand people were still massed together, most of them with the sole purpose in view of reaching Slattery. It was a struggling, howling cob, and the ox-priest drew a revolver. A shower of stones and other missiles greeted his solition, and until the end of his perilous journey Slattery was in danger from frequent attacks of this nature. Slattery and wife had just got safely aboard the train for New York when the crowd began to pour into the building. It was impossible then to do the ox-priest any harm, as almost immediately the train steamed away. The report that Mrs. Anna Murdoch of San Francisco had been arrested in New York and arraigned in the Brookly Police court, together with the information that Robert E. Woodward of the United States army and once an officer in the Salvation Army, was discovered with her on a protected debauch, has driven a young Oak-and woman to despair.

He answered: "His whereabouts are not known. The truth is that the insurgents were not found in the mountains nor on the plains. Nevertheless they boast that our troops always fly before them." Gen. Weyler was then asked if many cattle remained in the part of Pinar del Rio which he had visited and he said: "Not many. Only a few bullocks and calves remain, the insurgents have killed or captured many and the Spanish columns will finish the rest." Speaking of his operations since leaving Havana, the Captain-General explained that he had been all over the mountains and had camped several nights in the woods. From other sources it had been learned that he has frequently been without his regular meals and slept in the rain. The correspondent asked the Captain-General how the Spanish soldiers had behaved and whether they had shown the right spirit. He said: "The men are contented and show themselves courageous as every opportunity for fighting against any odds. The result is satisfactory, although we have not yet finished our work. But enough has been done until end of the year. I am now going back to Havana." "When will you return?" asked the correspondent. The Captain-General replied; "I cannot say what I shall do. Gen. Munoz will take charge of the divisions as soon as his health is restored." The Captain-General also took the opportunity to warmly praise Gena. Echague, Obregon, Bernal, Aguilar, Suarez, Ynclan, Hernandez and Velasco. In insurgent circles it is said that their leaders claim that the return of the Captain-General to Havana without bringing about an engagement with Maceo is equivalent to a defeat of the Spanish forces, for the latter have completely failed to carry out their program mapped out by the Spanish commander, and he returned here in every way unsuccessful. It is asserted that the plan of Maceo was to avoid an engagement with the Spanish troops, as he feels confident that the wearisome campaign as conducted by the Cubans must eventually exhaust the Spaniards, and bring about the concession of all or nearly all the demands of the insurgents. New York, November 23—A Jacksonville special says: A cipher telegram from Havana to a Cuban leader here says that General Weyler has been forced to return to Havana and that the city is in great confusion. Weyler gives no excuse, it is said, except that it is too hot and unhealthy to do any fighting. It is openly asserted in Havana that Weyler became frightened because Maceo had set a price upon his head or his capture. Weyler's scouts informed him that Maceo might make an attempt on Havana, and the Spanish General retreated in hot haste to the safety of his palace.

The correspondent asked the Captain-General how the Spanish soldiers had behaved and whether they had shown the right spirit. He said: "The men are contented and show themselves courageous as every opportunity for fighting against any odds. The result is satisfactory, although we have not yet finished our work. But enough has been done until end ofthe year. I am now going back to Havana." "When will you return?" asked the correspondent. The Captain-General replied; "I cannot say what I shall do. Gen. Munoz will take charge of the divisions as soon as his health is restored." The Captain-General also took the opportunity to warmly praise Gena. Echgue, Obregon, Bernal, Aguilar, Suarez, Ynclan, Hernandez and Velasco. In insurgent circles it is said that their leaders claim that the return of the Captain-General to Havana without bringing about an engagement with Maceo is equivalent to a defeat of the Spanish forces, forthe latter have completely failed to carry out their program mapped out bythe Spanish commander,and he returned here in every way unsuccessful. It is asserted thatthe plan of Maceo was to avoid an engagement withthe Spanish troops,a asfeel confident thatthe wearisome campaign as conducted bythe Cubans must eventually exhaustthe Spaniards,and bring aboutthe concessionofall or nearly allthe demandsoftheinsurgents.

The report that Mrs. Anna Murdoch of San Francisco had been arrested in New York and arraigned in the Brooklyne Police Court, together with the information that Robert E. Woodward of the United States Army and once an officer in the Salvation Army, was discovered with her on a proctored debauch, has driven a young Oakland woman to desperation. Woodward was to have married her in a few months, after an engagement of more than two years, but now the truth is revealed to her, she says, and the wedding can never be. Miss Jennie Turner, an opera singer, is the woman who claims to be wronged, and she expresses a determination to institute a suit for breach of promise, and at the same time prosecute Mrs. Murdoch for the part she played in the love affair between the two young people. To the latter she attributes all the misery she has been made to endure, and she will seek to recover damages from Murdoch, who is reported to be wealthy. The crescent symbol of the Mohammedans has nothing to do with their peculiar religious opinions and ceremonies. It was not originally a symbol of the followers of Mohammed at all, but was first used by the Byzantines. Thousands of coins have been found in all parts of Turkey which date back to the time when Constantinople was known as Byzantium, and on each of these the symbol of the crescent appears, proving conglusively that it was in use as an emblem among the people of that region long before Byzantium was overthrown and its name changed to Constantinople. The story of the origin of the crescent symbol is as follows: When Philip of Macedonia besieged Byzantium, he planned to storm the city on a certain cloudy night, but before his arrangements were completed the moon shone out and discovered his approach to the besieged citizens, who accordingly marched out and repulsed his forces—something which would have been impossible in the darkness. After that event all Byzantine coins bore the symbol of the crescent moon, which was always alluded to as the "Savior of Byzantium." After many years the hordes under Mohammed II captured Constantinople. At that time the crescent was used everywhere and upon everything. Suspecting that there must be magical power in the emblem of Mohammedans appropriated it, and have since used it as their only symbolic decoration. Butterick's Patterns.

Mrs. B. had changed girls, and was undergoing the usual catechism at the hands of her kitchen's future ruler. After a succession of damsels from "the old dart" her husband had strennously insisted that she try "an intelligent and cleanly American girl." He had found such a one and was sure she would prove a treasure. The lady of the house even thought he might not be mistaken, so trim and neat was the newcomer. Yes. I'm a splendid washer," that person said, "and I can iron shirts to beat a Chinaman—I always did up father's at home. I always had time, for you see, I know how to manage. Flat things, sheets, tablecloths, napkins, I fold and lay around in the chairs; they come out beautifully smooth when you have sat on them a day or two. And that reminds me to ask, where had you rather I put them, here in your chair or your husband's?" It took Mrs. B. sometime minutes to recover speech, but finally she managed to say that on the whole she feared she would not suit a domestic so progressive. New York Journal A propos of doctors' beards and microbes, a lady writes: "Several years ago I took the steam cars to and from school. For a week or more our family physician took the crowded noon train, always sitting very near me, and entering into conversation. On questioning his sister-in-law about his trips, she said: 'Oh, he has a smallpox patient at C., and is afraid to take his carriage for fear of communicating contagion. So he takes the train.' I always supposed his professional eye looked on me as a prospective smallpox patient." Boston Transcript. Christmas Tips. One of the objections to Christmas boxes, writes James Payn, is that one is seldom quite certain whether one is giving to the right people. Dumas tells us that he took some pains to discover one Christmas day what he was paying for. A second lamplighter excited his suspicions. "I have already made my little present," he said, "to the man that lights the street lamp." "Yes, sir," returned the other, "but I am the man who puts it out." An Able Youth.

A Lexington merchant, in conversation with the editor of The Gazette a few days ago, related this interesting reminiscence of Henry Clay: "I remember when a youth and an enthusiastic Clay Whig of coming here during the canvass of 1844 from my home in Har-sodsburg, with the Clay club of Mercer county, on whose banner was the motto, 'We Are Few, but True,' to unite in the celebration held that year in Lexington. The barbecue was given at the race track. There a number of distinguished orators addressed the multitude—among them Tom Corwin, Judge Ewing, probably James C. Jones of Tennessee. But after this half century, that which I now remember most distinctly and what most impressed me was this—that Mr. Clay did not go out to the grounds. He considered it beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate to electioneer. How well I remember seeing him, as the procession in which I walked passed his office (then with his son, James B. Clay, on Short street, near the engine house), standing in the doorway with his head uncovered, and with the rare grace which few men possessed, bowing to the passing multitude that was wild with huzzas, banners and music."—Lexington Gazette. Coffee. Many persons who are unable to drink coffee that has been boiled or made by putting the coffee directly in boiling water and cooking at or above the boiling point for a certain number of minutes are able to drink without any disagreeable consequences either present or future coffee made by percolation—that is, by inclosing the coffee in a bag of some kind or in a wire gauze strainer and pouring the boiling water upon it. This method of coffee making should always be used in households where the members breakfast at different hours, and where only one pot of coffee is made. In France, where chicory is often added to the coffee, percolated or "drip" coffee that is quite strong is often made and tightly bottled or sealed so that its aroma cannot escape and kept in a cool place for several days. As it is wanted it is heated very hot and served with hot milk, and, if you want it absolutely perfect, heat your cup also. Percolated coffee is considered more economical than that boiled.—New York Post. Illustrates a Phase of Clericalism.
