THE POLISH COLONY: When Henryk Sienkiewicz Lived in Anaheim With the Count and Countess Bozena. Probably the most interesting colony that ever settled in California was that of the Poles at Anaheim, in Orange county, in 1877-78. It was composed of thirty-three painters, actors, editors, orators and litterateurs of Poland. While other colonies have been formed to work out freak problems in life, the Poles came solely for the purpose of living a delightful, pastoral, free-from-work existence and to study art. The Polish colony came to enjoy the blessings of a lovely climate and the freest government on earth. They had no problem in life to settle, no theory to prove, no cause to wage for down-trodden humanity, no degeneracy to regenerate. They came as a company of brilliant, happy ambitious young men and women, who loved art, and purposed to help one another in their several artistic pursuits, and, at the same time, to flee the persecutions of Russia upon Poland, and live in a semi-tropic land. The attention of the reading world has recently been drawn to the Polish colony at Anaheim, for among them was Henryk Sienkiewicz, whose "Quo Vadis" and "Fire and Sword" have been the literary sensations of the day. Some of Sienkiewicz's work, as the "Charcoal Sketches," in his short stories, was written while he was in the Polish colony at Anaheim. Another, and a leader in the colony, was Madam Helena Modjeska. Another was the painter Michael Kroschki, whose portraits in the Russian department at the Paris and Chicago Expositions won the admiration of the foremost art critics of Europe and America. Still another in the colony, who has since become world-wide famous, is Vladskot, whose patriotic odes have been sold by the millions in Europe in the last five years. Modjeska has told how the Poles came to colonize in California. There had been a club or association of genial, literary, artistic and musical young men and women at Cracow, Poland. The club met in frequent salons at one another's homes. About 1875 Russia was bearing more heavily than usual upon the freedom of political speech and opinion among the Polish. The salon took up the subject for discussion. Life in a republic became the dream of some in the club. It happened that about that time a lot of circulars printed in French, and telling of the profits and delights in Southern California, came to the attention of your friends may smile But that tired feeling Means danger.

For weeks the real estate agents took the party out to view land, and there was no end of rivalry to sell property to the newcomers. Only a few could speak much English. Finally the Poles decided on a location for their co-operative farm. They settled at Anaheim. A writer in an Eastern periodical somewhat given to romancing, speaking of the Polish colony in Anaheim, writes this newsy account of it: By the summer of 1877 the houses and barns at the Cracow colony were finished, the fields were laid out, the irrigation ditches dug, and the ground made ready for planting fruit trees. All this had eaten a big slice out of the combined capital of the expectant colonists, and there were schemes for expanding thousands of dollars more before the anticipated wealth from the product of the property began to roll in. The Poles, unable to talk fluently with the small armies of carpenters, orchard-planters, plowmen and irrigators about the property, stood by, smoked cigarettes, built air castles, and watched the progress of affairs with delighted interest. They realized, however, that they were paying some mighty heavy bills, and that the Americans knew the full value of everything they sold or the work they did. But, the Poles were serene in LETTER FROM GERMANY: Continued from First Page. by speculators, or a person has to stay in line for hours to get tickets. I think I mentioned in my last letter that American green apples were shipped over here. They are from East and are packed in barrels. Passing a fruit store a few days ago noticed some very fine looking apples packed in boxes. As the boxes looked rather familiar to me I examined them and found them marked "Pacific Co Apples," packed by a firm in Portland Oregon. Now just think of it! Apples sent 6000 miles, and in good condition I bought some and found them very firm and of fine flavor. I think there would be a good market here for American made shoes; have seen a few pairs in the show wows. They look and are much new and of better finish than shoes made here in Germany and sell at a high price than we pay over there. I just read in the evening paper that the Government has prohibited the lading of American green fruit at Hamburg, claiming that some kind of apple (don't say if the bug is an American) has been found on the fruit. If this true, we cannot blame them. But probably more of an offset against sugar tariff. You know they are sore over it here, as the new tariff is about ruining the sugar industry here and now they want to retaliate by prohibiting the importation of fruit from America. To the public in general the importation of the American green as well as the dried fruit has been is a great benefit to them here, and article is praised very much by every body. The bulk of the fine fruit (grass) is sent from the south of France, Italy, and too high-priced for entry middle class to buy. They have way here in cooking or preparing American dried fruits so that they have a flavor and taste like canned preserved fruit. It is sold very readily so that the poorer classes have it on their table. At the same time I find it served in the first-class hotels and restaurants. Oranges are now plentiful and are sold very cheap also walnuts which retail at 6 to 8 per pound. Now, dear Max, I have taken up much of your valuable time already. I must close.

There had been a club or association of genial, literary, artistic and musical young men and women at Cracow, Poland. The club met in frequent salons at one another's homes. About 1875 Russia was bearing more heavily than usual upon the freedom of political speech and opinion among the Polish. The salon took up the subject for discussion. Life in a republic became the dream of some in the club. It happened that about that time a lot of circulars printed in French, and telling of the profits and delights in Southern California, came to the attention of one of the club young men, along with a description of the California climate, the fertility of the soil and the roseate pictures of the agricultural products. That circular was the seed from which grew the Polish colony in California. At that time co-operative colonies were a hobby of socialistic writers in Europe, and the Poles' idea of a home in California was blended with theories of agriculture and cooperation in colony life. For weeks the plan of a huge Polish colony in the warm sunshine of California, at the base of the Sierra, with the broad Pacific twelve miles away, was discussed by every member of the club. The Russian Government caused several hundred arrests for petty political offenses in the winter of 1876, and the plans for co-operative farming under the Stars and Stripes went forth more enthusiastically. "Ah, how idyllic it seemed to us as we used to gather in our little salons at Cracow that last spring and talk over the plans for our colony farm in California," said Madam Modjeska in relating the story of the colony. "We all had powerful imaginations. We could imagine ourselves living amid perennial sunshine and fruits and flowers, and having a good income from our joint farm while we cultivated the arts and lived a dreamy poem of a life. We hired an Englishman to translate for us many articles and pamphlets that we had ordered from the United States for our information. All of us followed his work bit by bit, so absorbed were we in the stories of how blissfully one might live for years and years close to nature amid the fleecy flocks, the song of birds, the droning of insects in the semitropics and nevermore have to work and scheme for a livelihood amid snow and ice. Nothing in literature ever quite captured all of us shivering Poles in our northern homes as did the beautiful pastoral scenes represented in those articles written by land agents and boomers." In September, 1876, the colony was composed in Cracow. Its total funds amounted to about $48,000. Count Bozena and Mme. Modjeska put in the savings of several years, and the younger unmarried men, as Slenkiewicz, contributing all their petty savings. The colony rendezvoused at Berlin, and sailed from Bremen, reaching New York in the last days of the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia. Probably no more expectant, enthusiastic people ever landed in New York. All were beaming at having exchanged the political harassments of Poland for free America. They were brimful of plans for a garden of Eden in Southern California, and were restless to begin life in their co-operative colony. They had a boxful of architectural plans for their houses, and a wagon load of newly bought books on agriculture and horticulture. "How we laugh ourselves now at the memory of what fond fools we all were then," said Count Bozena a few months ago. "Why, we were like so many eager, dreaming children in a strange ready for planting fruit trees. All this had eaten a big slice out of the combined capital of the expectant colonists, and there were schemes for expanding thousands of dollars more before the anticipated wealth from the product of the property began to roll in. The Poles, unable to talk fluently with the small armies of carpenters, orchard-planters, plowmen and irrigators about the property, stood by, smoked cigarettes, built air castles, and watched the progress of affairs with delighted interest. They realized, however, that they were paying some mighty heavy bills, and that the Americans knew the full value of everything they sold or the work they did. But the Poles were serene in their faith that the books and printed articles they had read wore so accurate in the details of the certain profits of American ranches, especially co-operative ones, that they never begrudged the checks they gave on their Los Angeles bank account. Then the big farm had to be stocked with horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, mules and a thousand and one things the colonists had never dreamed of, and which they were assured, were absolutely necessary. When the spring of 1878 came and nearly all the capital that the Polish party had brought to California was gone, the necessity of hard ranch work stared them in the face. Notwithstanding all the books and magazine articles that had read to the contrary, the colonists found co-operative ranch life beset with trouble and subject to daily losses. The idyllic existence that had been their dream for several years floated away among the Sierras. The men and their wives, who had been accustomed to studios and libraries, were disgusted with the work of following horse and cultivator among the orchard trees for hours, and of cutting alfalfa and plowing and harrowing soil for frequent irrigation of the young orchards. There are many other colonists in California who had the same dispiriting experience of coming from the drawing room, the counting-house, the law office or the store, believing that they could at once become happy Arcadian fruit growers and get rich while swinging in shaded hammocks, reading and smoking cigarettes. Some were overcome by hard work and they failed miserably. Others took hold bravely and earnestly, and met all obstacles with a determination nothing could defeat. Modjeska and her husband belonged to the determined class. She put on an apron, rolled up her sleeves and went to work. While others in the Polish co-operative colony rebelled against any ranch labor and sat beneath the shade of the oaks on the farm, rolled cigarettes and denounced the scheming Americans for their advertising tricks, she and Count Bozena labored. Many residents in the vicinity of Anaheim recall to this day how cheerfully Bohemianlike the artists and literary men in the colony viewed losses that would have driven crazy a colony of ordinary farmers. Mrs. Ada Lawrence, who used to visit the Polish colony occasionally, tells of how one day when the last work mule and cow of the place had died from some improper feeding by the theoretical colonists, and troubles of scores of varieties were coming thick and fast, she found a dozen of the young men having the happiest kind of a morning in their up-stairs assembly-room in practicing the latest Wagner music for an orchestral concert that evening. At another time when the dearly bought water right had almost dried up and the year's crop of alfalfa was withering under the midsummer sun, the Poles gave no heed and had an elaborated amateur dramatic performance, in which every one in the colony had to perform some part. Their time I find it served in the first-hotel hotels and restaurants. Oranges now plentiful and are sold very cheap also walnuts which retail at 6 to 8 cents per pound.

The Poles visited with fellow-countrymen in New York and Boston for a few weeks, and went down to Washington. Through an introduction at the Agricultural Department by the Russian Minister, they got several great bundles of books and pamphlets covering every conceivable subject that any farmer from Alaska to Key West might wish to know through the centuries. In February, 1877, the Polish party, headed by Count and Countess Bozenta, started across the continent for San Francisco. From there the Poles came down the coast in a steamship.

London Tit-Rita Telephones In Bed. One of the most ingenious applications of the telephone is the portal form, which is known as the portal hospital telephone. Its particular use is to enable people in a sickroom which an infectious disease is being nursed to communicative with the people in the rest of the house. In hospitals this simple adaptation of the telephone to the requirements of the situation will be found invaluable, but an even greater field for its utility will be the private house. The irksomeness of having some infections diseases in a mild form multiplied tenfold by the enforced exclusion of the patient, who is suddenly cut off from intercourse with the rest of the family. Now, by the mere addition of this little instrument to the furniture of the apartment, it is possible for a sick person to keep up a conversation with any member of the family, and in this way the dium which is inseparable from the compulsory isolation may be relieved. Furthermore, the nurse will by means be saved a good many journeys even in noninfectious cases, for she can ask for things to be brought to her odd times which in the ordinary course she would have to go for, or she least ring a bell and have some one come to the door to ask what she required.-Pearsonis Weekly. A Minister's Trials. This narrative from a minister is of greatest value to those whose nerves are unstrung, health shattered or otherwise ailing. It is particularly appropriate in this age of active, nervous, endless labor. We are living too fast. "Fast as lightning," expresses it, for we talk by electricity, cook by electricity, travel by electricity and so on. It is a hurry, hurry, hurry from the cradle to the grave. We crowd too much; crowd our work, crowd our eating, crowd our pleasure, crowd our sleeping. "A breaking down of the nervous system" is the way of expressing the result. It means a depleting of the nerves induced by prolonged strain; overtaxing of the nervous system; a product of over-hurry and bustle. It affects all people in all walks of life. It baffles physicians of all schools. No one knows the horrors of such a condition better than Rev. J. N. McCready, of Elkton, Mich. For years he labored faithfully and well. He was progressive and aggressive; a leader among men, a deep thinker and a hard worker. In his zeal, he overworked; overtaxed his mental and physical strength. The outlook was dark, with health shattered and recovery apparently hopeless. Many means for a cure were tried, without receiving benefit. Finally he took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and was restored to health. He says: "In April, 1896, the physicians said I must stop preaching or die. "I had overtaxed myself and was suffering from a complete breaking down of my nervous system and a persistent stomach trouble." Several physicians created me, but no permanent benefit was derived. Four times I was stricken with nervous prostration; twice with gastritis. These attacks would throw me into spasms. "I could eat neither meat or vegetables. If my bare feet touched the floor I was immediately seized with cramps. I was used up; helpless, hopeless. I commenced to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. One box was consumed and I felt no better. This discouraged me. My wife urged me to try the pills some more, feeling that my life depended upon the result. I continued to take them. Since then, and it has been several months, I have enjoyed life. Have preached all summer and held revival meetings for fifteen weeks. I have had no muscular exercise for years, but recently, have done considerable hard work in my garden, my muscles standing this test remarkably well. Every Sabbath I preach three times and now think I am good for another twenty years, if the Lord wills." To add weight to his words, Rev. McCready made affidavit before J.D. Brookes, Notary Public. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People exert a powerful influence in restoring wasted nerve power and in purifying and enriching the blood. Druggists consider them the most effective remedy which they dispense. Certain Irish Stories. A Roman deacon was sent for to baptize a baby in the cabin he could find no water, but there was a pot of tea. Tea he reasoned, "contains water, the rest is but accident," and proceeded to pour out a cup. But it was strong, even to blackness, so he went in search of water, and having found some, watered the tea down to a more reasonable color, christened the baby with it, and reported the circumstance, as a case of conscience, to his superior. It had not occurred to him, having found the water, to use it by itself. Here is a tutor's letter of condolence to a bereaved parent.

LONDON, March 5.—Further information made on the subject confirm that of the sale of the two cruisers of the Armstrongs have been built Brazil to Spain. The inquiries show that a representative of Chilean government has been involved with a representative of the Irish government for the sale battleship O'Higgins, built for Ireland and it is expected that a deal is probably completed whereby this warship passes into Spain's possession. It is known that the Chilean sentative made the offer to Spain centently, but the price was conserved too high and Spain made a good offer. It is now understood that these have come to terms. The ships which Spain secured France are two heavily armored defense vessels which Brazil can for service on the River Platte have been building at La Loma works at Havre.

One other story, I may add here, as it serves to illustrate a certain disparity often noticeable between Saxon and Celtic word values, and also the way in which Irish orators discount their own rhetoric.

Life has no other origin than life itself, and this is one of the great truths which the labors of pathologists and biologists of the present century have established beyond the possibility of a doubt. If the life that is taken from life is taken from a highly developed life, so will be the wife that is taken. My earnest hope and belief is that the final mystery of life, the key to life, the principle which keeps life alive, will be solved by the biologists before all the members of the present congress are dead. — Professor Virchow to International Congress at Moscow, Aug 19, 1897 Proud of the Capital, The people of the country are fond of their capital. More than the Washingtonians themselves, they have seen the wonderful progress of Washington, for by visits at intervals, some of them extending over years, they have met with some contrasts which tell the story to the spectator more thoroughly than constant living in the city could do. In different parts of the country we have heard people discuss the growth of Washington with pride and relate the comparisons of their various visits. The man who was there 10 or 20 years ago and who goes again this year takes a tale back home which he never tires of telling. And not only will Washington have no rival in the sense of competition, but it is destined to be beautiful beyond any other city or any other capital in the world. What has been done is simply an earnest of what is to come. It will be the capital of society as well as politics. Art and education will follow, and already it is a fact that more learned authoritative men can be gathered in an audience in that city than anywhere else in the country. In fact, Baltimore is glad to be so near Washington. — Baltimore American. A Human Printing Press. General Joseph S. Smith of Maine tells how he published a paper without a press in Bath, Me., many years ago: "When I'd get my paper all set up and ready for the press, I'd lay the type on a washstand, get it all leveled down well in the chase, or the frame in which 'twas locked up, and then I'd call in the hired girl. She weighed about 210 when she sat down. That's what I wanted—sitting down weight. So, after the hired girl came in Iinked the type. laid over it the sheet of paper and on top of that the blanket, and then I politely invited the hired girl to sit down on the washstand. Two hundred and ten pounds remember! The result was just as good an impression as you could get on any $100 hand press made in the United States. My edition in those days was about 200 copies, and the hired girl was good for the job at one sitting—no, at 200 sittings. And she took an interest in it, too, and was just as ready for business every publication day as a $20,000 Hoe perfecting press would be." Ask your Druggist for a generous 10 CENT TRIAL SIZE.

When a man breaks down with that dread disease, consumption, and recognizes his condition, he starts out to fish for health. He tries this thing and that thing. He consults this doctor and that doctor. He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletic exercises. He tries first one climate and then another. He tries the rest cure and the work cure. He grows steadily worse. That is the story of most consumptives. Finally, when the consumptive dies, the doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces consumption incurable. A thirty years' test of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has demonstrated that it cures 80 per cent of all cases of consumption, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease, before the lungs are too far wasted. In a consumptive there is a weaker spot than even the lungs. That spot is the stomach. A consumptive never really begins to die until his stomach gives out. The "Golden Medical Discovery" not only braces up the stomach, but acts directly on the lungs, healing them and driving out all impurities. Honest medicine dealers will not urge you to take an inferior substitute. "I had a very bad cough, also night-sweats, and was almost in my grave with consumption," writes Mrs. Clara A. McIntyre, Bost r., Ashland, Middlesex Co., Mass. "A friend of mine had died with consumption came to me in a dream and told me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and thank the Lord, I did so. By the time I had taken half of the first bottle I felt much better. I kept on until I had taken three bottles. That was all I needed. I got well and strong again." Whenever constipation is one of the complicating causes of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which are always effective, yet absolutely mild and harmless. There never was any remedy invented which can take their place. They never gripe. SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY In making plans for a trip to any part of the East it is well to remember that a choice of three routes can be had over the Southern Pacific lines, viz.: Their Sunset route, Ogden route and via Portland. The Sunset line is especially adapted to winter travel, and the limited trains are at the present time crowded to their full capacity with an exclusively first-class patronage.

A Famous Old Church. At Alexandria, Va., stands an ancient church in nearly its original condition, Christ church, whose architect bore the name of Wren—not, however, Sir Christopher. It was completed in 1773. In November, 1766, the vestry, of whom George Washington was one levied an A Famous Old Church. At Alexandria, Va., stands an ancient church in nearly its original condition, Christ church, whose architect bore the name of Wren—not, however, Sir Christopher. It was completed in 1773. In November, 1766, the vestry, of whom George Washington was one, levied an assessment of 31,185 pounds of tobacco to build two churches, Christ church being one. The specifications called for shingles of juniper, mortar to be two-thirds lime and one-third sand, the pediments to be in the Tuscan, and altar, pulpit and canopy in the Ionic order. Washington was the purchaser of pew No. 5, for £86 10s. The old records show some curious entries: Two pounds ten shillings was collected of Bryan Fairfax in 1770 for "killing deer out of season," and Thomas Lewis was fined 5 shillings for "hunting on the Sabbath." The money thus collected went for the support of the poor, the lame and the blind, and buried the dead. The old records show that seats were assigned according to rank or for special reasons. One Susanann Edwards officiated as sexton, to the entire satisfaction of the congregation. The old edifice had neither chimney nor fireplace until 1812, foot stoves furnishing the only warmth. The most conspicuous families in the early history of Virginia were worshipers at Christ church—the Adamses, Herberts, Custises, Blackburns, Carlyles, Muirs, Broadwaters, Alexanders and others equally prominent. General Robert E. Lee attended Sunday school and was baptized and confirmed in this church, and a tablet to his memory adorns the eastern wall. During the occupancy of Alexandria by the Federal troops the rector and many of the parish fled within the Confederate lines. The church was held by the military authorities. A large mound in the churchyard marks the resting place of 84 Confederate soldiers who died in Federal hospitals in Alexandria. Harper's Weekly.
