The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... FEBRUARY 10, 1898 FRIDAY morning's mail brought to hand the following intelligence upon a postal card, undated, but postmarked as having been forwarded from Long Beach: "Please drop the Umpire from your exchange list. It has quit. J. P. B." Earlier in the day it was learned that the publishers of the Westminster Umpire had determined to discontinue its publication, and had departed from that community. The postal card, bearing the initials of Editor Buck, confirmed the previous report. The Umpire wearied of the struggle, and called the game on account of—darkness. Where erstwhile the valorous shout of discord rent the air, now all is quietude, with nothing to mar the serenity of the deep solitude! The Umpire's decisions on matters religious as well as secular were not accepted with that unquestioned obedience that is an essential to the existence of a paper in any community, and its early suspension comes in the natural order of events. It lasted eighteen weeks, there was never any great demand for it, and it sealed its fate by antagonizing a large element of the representative people of its community at the outset. With the suspension of the Alamitos paper a few weeks before, it furnishes the second collapse of papers for which there never existed any demand. If Ralph Waldo Emerson had had an artesian well shrouded by a willow tree on his ranch, he might not have grown so tired of rural life. What the altar is in a church, what a piano is in a drawing-room, what the Encyclopedia Britanica is in a library, an artesian well is to a ranch. It is the artery through which the life blood of the green fields flows. But it is not with the usefulness of the well—its commercial value—that we have at present to do. To many it is suggestive of these things—only these and nothing more. To us it is a preacher of a hundred truths, solemn, sublime, far-reaching and deeper than pine by Prussian railways. This pitch pine is listed as class 1 at higher rate than class 2, on which is listed similar wood from Sweden, Norway and other countries. It is also said that American pitch pine is allowed to go at a lower rate if the officials do not know where it originates. The trade is considerable, and this Prussian railway is the only means by which wood can be taken into the interior, so the discrimination is keenly felt. TURNER MASQUERADE. A Large Crowd and an Enjoyable Time on Saturday Evening. Turner Hall was filled with a merry throng on Saturday evening on the occasion of the masquerade ball given by the Anaheim Tunn Verein. The floor was filled with maskers early in the evening, and there were present such a large number of spectators that dancing room was at times limited. As usual on occasions such as this, good cheer and jollity reigned supreme and all hands participated in a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The Turners had provided refreshments for the throng, and no inconsiderable attention was paid the refreshment room. Dancing continued until the small hours of the morning, and when the time came for departing, those present declared that never had the Turners provided such enjoyable entertainment for all. Following is a list of the maskers present: LADIES. Ida Selinger—Candy girl. Mrs. N. A. Bittner—Yellow Domino. Louisa Knapke—Card girl. White dress, trimmed with cards and red ribbon.

Davis—Same property; Mrs. A. Frohling guardi It is intimated, according to advices from Washington, that the German authorities are beginning to believe they have acted with undue precipitancy in the issuance of the decree excluding American fruits, and it is said that a disposition has been shown to attribute the variety of action taken to the executive zeal of the subordinate officers stationed at the principal ports and on the frontier. Ambassador White has cabled the State Department that the present importation of live plants was absolutely prohibited, but that fresh fruit not infected was admitted freely. Inasmuch as the value of the live plants and shrubs exported from the United States to Germany last year was only about $8000, the last phase of the exclusion decree is not regarded as of very great importance. There is a decided sentiment in Congress in favor of retaliation against Germany if official information should confirm the reports that have been cabled as to the recent action of the German government in excluding American fruits and horses from German markets.

ORIENTAL FLEETS Furnish a Market for American Canned Beef. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6. Officials of the Pacific Mail Steamship company say that within the past thirty days there has been an astonishing increase in the shipment of food supplies to the Orient; consequent upon the gathering in China waters of the English, German, French and Prussian warships. They also state that a few days ago a representative of the English government placed an order in Kansas City for 2000 tons of beef to be sent to the English fleet in China waters. The Russian government, they also state, has given a big order to two Chicago houses for canned goods and beef, part of which will be sent from this port to the Orient and the remainder by way of Vancouver or Seattle. The agent of Russia gave an order for 1200 tons of OPEN RUPTURE IN PEACE OF SECONDARY Spain Preparing by Armin Chant Vessels. NEW YORK, Feb. 5. A war from Spain would scare THERE is a decided sentiment in Congress in favor of retaliation against Germany if official information should confirm the reports that have been cabled as to the recent action of the German government in excluding American fruits and horses from German markets. The President has been asked to send to the House the correspondence between the State Department and the American ambassador at Berlin regarding the alleged adulteration of German wines and regarding the discrimination by the German government against American exports of beef, fruit and horses. Should any retaliatory legislation be brought forward it would come through the Committee on Ways and Means, and the subject has been occupying the attention of the members of that committee. Members of the committee have been talking the situation over informally and exchanging views as to the action which ought to be taken. Some of them favor leaving the whole subject to the executive branch of the government, and trust to the President to take suitable action under the provision of the law of 1890, which authorizes him to retaliate against any country which discriminates against American products by excluding any products of that country from the United States. Other members of the committee favor legislation to meet this particular case in the way of higher duties on articles coming from countries which discriminate against the United States or refuse to admit American products, either directly or indirectly, by the establishment of decrees and regulations intended to exclude such products. American lumber is now subject to discrimination at the hands of the Prussian government, according to the report of the United States consul at Bremen. The consul transmits the complaints of a number of lumber dealers against what they regard as discriminating charges against the carriage of American pitch there has been an astonishing increase in the shipment of food supplies to the Orient, consequent upon the gathering in China waters of the English, German, French and Prussian warships. They also state that a few days ago a representative of the English government placed an order in Kansas City for 2000 tons of beef to be sent to the English fleet in China waters. The Russian government, they also state, has given a big order to two Chicago houses for canned goods and beef, part of which will be sent from this port to the Orient and the remainder by way of Vancouver or Seattle. The agent of Russia gave an order for 1200 tons of beef. This order for canned goods of various kinds amounts to 7500 tons. These goods are intended as part of the supplies for the Russian troops now being sent from Odessa to the Manchurian frontier. Agents of the French and German governments have also placed orders for meat supplies both in Omaha and Chicago. Think About Your Health. THIS IS THE TIME TO GIVE ATTENTION TO YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION.

Purify and enrich your blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla and thus "prepare for spring." This medicine makes rich, red blood and gives vigor and vitality. It will guard you against danger from the changes which will soon take place. One of the largest concessions ever obtained from a foreign government has fallen into the hands of a syndicate of New York capitalists, who have organized a company to control the exportation and importation of cattle and live stock of all descriptions from and to the republic of Honduras. The concession for 25 years, was granted in August, 1895, by the government of Honduras to Otto Zurcher, of Switzerland. His labors resulted in the formation a few days ago of the Honduras-American Cattle and Colonization Company. P. T. Barlow, of New York, is president of the company, and Capt. J. P. Imboden of New York, is general manager. It is capitalized at $5,000,000. The exclusive right to establish and operate slaughter houses, refrigerators, canning factories and packing houses, is granted, as is exemption from all taxation on the company's property and products. About 300,000 acres of public land was granted to the company. The concessions, it is believed, will place the new company in a few years at the front both here and in Europe. OPEN RUPTURE IN PEACE Spain Preparing by Armin chant Vessels. NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—A copy of war from Spain would scarcely surprised Washington more than the news that the Havana Ciudad de Cadiz is to be transferred Barcelona into a cruiser to Spanish torpedo flotilla waters. There had been no previous mention that the Madrid governor intended to utilize the merchant in preparing for war. In congressional circles that of the Ciudad de Cadiz is re-mentioned that matters are going toward an open rupture the United States and Spain majority of the senators and tatives prefer to believe as they want a speedy settlement Spanish-Cuban question, and able how it is accomplished. Senor de Lome, the Spanish says he knows nothing about has received no communication subject. Navy department officials Madrid authorities have thinned themselves of all vessels senger or freight traffic when government needs them. American lines can be armed time and transformed into Only recently active steps were to obtain the arms and equipment necessary to make these vessels immediately. The Washington navy running night and day made with which to arm the auxiliary should hostilities occur. The means are intended for the St. Louis, New York and Nebraska subsidized liners that we structured that they could speedily changed into combat strovers.

Frohling, guardian of estate been adjudged mentally incompetent by Superior Judge Belcher. His daughter, Dr. Emma Sutro-Merritt, who has been in constant professional attendance on her father for many months past, has been appointed guardian of his person and estate, her bonds being fixed at $100,000. Her two brothers and her sister, who reside in this city became sureties on the bond. Mr. Sutro is more than 80 years of age, and the loss of his mental faculties is attributed to the weight of years, combined with the effects of two strokes of apoplexy, which he has suffered within the past few months. The petition to have his daughter appointed his guardian was made by Col. Little, manager of the Sutro properties, after the members of the family and their attorneys had decided that such a step was necessary. The effect that the withdrawl of Mr. Sutro from business may have upon the various enterprises with which he was connected is a matter to be determined by the family council and the lawyers. His interests are so vast and diversified that the manner of their disposition is a matter of great interest. A large part of his fortune is in real estate. In San Francisco alone he owns more than 1800 acres of land—about one-eighth of the taxable area of the entire county. Among other valuable holdings are the Sutro Electric Railroad, the Sutro Library and stacks of gilt-edged bonds. In the present condition of the real estate market, it is rather difficult to appraise the value of his local realty, but a conservative estimate places it at a little under $4,-000,000. Mr. Sutro is a native of Germany, and is 31 years of age. His career up to the time he inaugurated the scheme to tunnel from the Carson River Valley was comparatively humble and obscure. He was a dealer in tobacco and pipes in this city in his early days, and subsequently removed to Nevada, where he engaged in a tobacconist’s trade in several mining camps, finally settling in Virginia City. In 1864 he secured from the Nevada Legislature the right way for his famous tunnel, which was commenced October 19, 1869,and concluded July 8, 1878. It cost $5,069,801. In addition to his mining ventures in Nevada he edited a newspaper. He was interested in politics,and at various times opposed William Sharon John P.Jones and William M.Stewart for the position of United States Senator. The Evening Post announced some three weeks ago that Mayor Sutro was incompetent, but his friends vigorously denied the story at the time,saying that he was merely indisposed,and would be able to resume attention to business in a few days.

TRADE REVIEW. R.G.Dun & Co.’s Monthly Review of Business Conditions in Southern California. The first month of the new year shows continued increase in volume of business, but little or no price improvement. Distribution is satisfactory in most lines with special activity in iron and steel trades. The cotton manufacture is in the most unsatisfactory condition, but the tone of the situation has been improved by the closing of many mills. The heavy outgo of wheat and corn for the month shows the strength of foreign demand. The money market still remains confident and foreign exchange is held without alteration. The Alaska trade keeps business decidedly active on the Pacific Coast. In our immediate district the month did not bring the anxiously looked for rain. However the rain is now falling and with every prospect of enough moisture to make Southern California’s grain crop prospects, brighter which had begun to look critical. The fruit crops of course were not suffering. Prices for oranges are a little disappointing and while the damaged and doubtful fruit is being pushed forward, glutting the markets at some points, those who have choice, prime fruit are inclined to hold for higher prices. Dried fruits, nuts, raisins move slowly, the Eastern demand is a little better, prices fair, but not advancing. There is a large demand for evaporated vegetables, exceeding the supply. Horey is quiet with large stocks. Locally few complaints are heard of business conditions. January is usually an off month. Semi-annual clearance sales stimulate activity in some retail lines and both jobbers and retailers express themselves satisfied with the outlook for a heavy spring trade. Building is active. The oil market holds prices unchanged with a good steady demand. Money is easy with plenty for any legitimate proposition. More capital is going into Southern California’s beet sugar industry. The Hueneme factory is progressing rapidly, and there is strong probability that foreign capitalists now looking over the field will establish a large plant somewhere in this section. Failures for January fourteen: liabilities $33,000, assets $8,000, against thirty-three in January, 1897, with liabilities of $80,000, assets $18,000. LOS ANGELES Cal., Jan. 8, 1898. [Communicated.] Man's Immortal Soul. Last week Anaheim was alive with enthusiasm because a very good theoretical trump with a band that could produce very attractive music was in town. Everybody and their children went to Limousin there is a barren range of low hills which lies along the dividing line between the departments of Dordogne, Correze and Haute-Vienne about half way between Pereguenx and Limoges. The water courses show the location of these uplands They extend over an area about 75 miles long and half as wide wherein average human misery is most profound. Dense ignorance prevails. There is more illiteracy than in any other part of France.The contrast in stature, even with the low average of all the surrounding region.is clearly marked by the dark tintThere are sporadic bits of equal diminutiveness elsewhere to the south and westbut none is so extended or so extreme.Two-thirds of the men are below 5 feet 8 inches in height in some of the communes,and the women are three or more inches shorter even than this One man in ten is below 4 feet 11 inches in stature. This is not due to race for several racial types are equally stunted in this way within the same area。它 is primarily due to generations of subjection to a harsh climate.to a soil which is worthless for agriculture,to a steady diet of boiled chestnuts and stagnant water and to insanitary dwellings in the deep,narrowand damp valleysStill further proof may be found to show that these people are not stunted by any hereditary influence,f it has been shown that children born herebut who migrate and grow up elsewhere，who are normal in height，while those born elsewhere，但 who are subject to this environment during the growing period of youth，are proportionately dwarfed.- Popular Science Monthly. Do Clocks Get Tired? "Do clocks get tired?" said Mr.Billops.“I imagine they do.I love to hear a clock tick.I suppose everybody doesWe had a little clock that I used to keep in my own room.I stopped one dayand I shook it up a little and it started onbut it soon stopped again,and afterthat it kept stopping,and sometimes it would take me ten minutes to shake itup so that it would go on and keep going.I suppose I spent on that clock as much time as would have paid for halfa dozen clocks like it,and finally it stopped altogether and I gave it up and the little clock lay idle for months.I supposed that sooner or later we should throw it away,and I thought the only reason that we didn't was because we hate to throw anything away.

Spain Preparing by Arming Her Merchant Vessels. NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—A declaration of war from Spain would scarcely have surprised Washington more than did the news that the Havana steamship Ciudad de Cadiz is to be transformed at Barcelona into a cruiser to escort the Spanish torpedo flotilla to Cuban waters. There had been no previous intimation that the Madrid government intended to utilize the merchant marine in preparing for war. In congressional circles the drafting of the Ciudad de Cadiz is regarded as an indication that matters are progressing toward an open rupture between the United States and Spain. A great majority of the senators and representatives prefer to believe as they hope. They want a speedy settlement of the Spanish-Cuban question, and care little how it is accomplished. Senor de Lome, the Spanish minister, says he knows nothing about it. He has received no communication on the subject. Navy department officials say the Madrid authorities have the right to avail themselves of all vessels in passenger or freight traffic whenever the government needs them. The great American lines can be armed at any time and transformed into cruisers. Only recently active steps were taken to obtain the arms and equipment necessary to make these vessels available immediately. The Washington navy yard is now running night and day making guns with which to arm the auxiliary navy, should hostilities occur. These armaments are intended for the St. Paul, St. Louis, New York and Paris, and the subsidized liners that were so constructed that they could easily be speedily changed into commerce-de-strovers.

[Communicated.] Man's Immortal Soul. Last week Anaheim was alive with enthusiasm because a very good theatrical troupe with a band that could produce very attractive music was in town. Everybody and their children went to the entertainment, until the Opera-house was crowded. They went to be interested and amused, and found what they went for. This week and next the people of Anaheim and vicinity are asked to come together with a different object in view. The value of the immortal soul is to be talked about. Are the people interested in the final resting-place of their own or their children's immortal souls? If so, then go to the Presbyterian church every evening this week and to the Methodist church every evening next week, except Saturday. It may be that you will hear something of God's love that will draw you closer to him, and a thousand years hence, when the theatrical troupe is forgotten, you may be very glad that you did go to the little church this week. Let these churches be filled with those who really believe God when he says, "For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" The Barton estate vineyard, at Fresno, one of the largest in the country, has been very heavily assessed by the United States government for irregularities in the matter of distilling, the penalty fixed being the unusually heavy one of $15,240. The report upon which the big assessment was based was made by Revenue Agent A. B. Thomas, who visited the vineyard last November in company of Al Griffin, the local revenue officer. In addition to the heavy penalty imposed on the owners of the property, the United States gauge stationed there, Mr. Lampkin, was suspended, and about a week ago he received word of his dismissal from the service. Ex-Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue Youngberger has been retained by the Barton estate to endeavor to secure a reduction of the penalty imposed. Money to Loan. From $5,000 to $10,000 in sums to suit on real estate or approved security. Apply to Richard Melrose, Two Anecdotes. Who does not know the "copper horse" at Windsor—that equestrian statue at the end of the long walk, to which (and back again) the local flyman always offers to drive the tourist? The queen was entertaining a great man, who in the afternoon walked from the castle to Cumberland lodge. At dinner her majesty, full, as always, of gracious solicitude for the comfort of her guests, said, "I hope you were not tired by your long walk?" "Oh, not at all, thank you, ma'am. I got a lift as far back as the copper horse." "As far as what?" inquired her majesty, in evident astonishment. "Oh, the copper horse, at the end of the long walk." "That's not a copper horse. That's my grandfather." Lord R., preaching at the French exhibition, implored his hearers to come and drink of the eau d'vie.—Manchester Guardian: A Woman's Wit. A western judge was approached by a verdant couple who wanted to be married. The would be groom asked the price of tying the knot and was told it was $1. "Can't you take beeswax?" inquired the rustic. "Yea," said the squire. The wax was brought in and upon being weighed was found to be worth just 60 cents. "Well," said the anxious groom, "tie the knot, and I'll fetch more wax next week." "No sir. I don't trust. That is against the rules of the office." Slowly the disappointed youth turned to go out, saying, "Come, Sal, let's go." "I say, mister," answered Sal, with a woman's wit, "can't you marry us as far as the wax will go? "Yes, I can and I will," responded the judge, laughing, and he did.—Exchange.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The Spanish crisis looms like a thunder-cloud above the horizon. Sagasta has declined the latest offer of the administration, and with certain failure confronting any Spanish proposition, he has asked General Martinez Campos to accept a mission to the insurgent Government, with plenary powers to bring about peace on any terms short of absolute independence. The aged soldier-statesman has not yet assented. Advices have been received to the effect that Campos in his reply to Sagasta said that it was too late. De Lome has lost his arrogant air, and is deperate. Two weeks ago he told a prominent official that within a week the end would have come to the insurrection. Two days ago, when the same official called to his mind the unfulfilled prophecy, asking what new prophecy to make, the Spanish Minister threw up his hands desperately and replied: "I do not know! I do not know!" Three resolutions relative to the Cuban situation and hostile to the inactivity of the Administration have been held up by their authors—two in the House and one in the Senate—in order to give the President a few days of latitude in which to initiate action.
