PHILOSOPHER KOSTER. Being in Meditative Mood He Descants Upon a Bird's-Eye View of the Nation's Existence EDITOR GAZETTE—Happening to be in a meditative mood the other day, a bird's-eye view of our nation's existence from the adoption of our Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776, taking in all the most important events and the different phases of our development and progress, passed before my view. I remembered Nov. 15th, 1776, as the day when articles of confederation and perpetual union of the United States of America were agreed upon. The war with England terminated with the surrender of Yorktown on Oct. 19th, 1781. Our constitution was framed in Philadelphia on Sept. 17th, 1787. What a small nation did we form then, with our few millions of people and our 13 States, as compared to our present size! Our progress at that time was not so fast as it is now. Lack of working hands proved a great drawback to the development of the country then, and to overcome that evil the African slave trade had been established. That trade was mostly in the hands of New England merchants, and these gentlemen found it a great joy and blessing to themselves from a financial standpoint, for they bought the negroes for a mere pittance on the western coast of Africa and found ready sale for them in the slave markets of our Atlantic side. Slavery had been sanctioned by law, and was being practiced everywhere wherever practicable. The country was steadily forging ahead, treaties were made with Indian chiefs by which their lands were ceded to us, the French possessions were bought, Spain sold us Florida, and after the Mexican war in the year 1848 our territory reached from the Rio Grande on the south to British America on the north, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. Everything seemed to be serene then. But after a while there appeared in the political heavens a small speck, unnoticed at first by a careless observer, but that grew in volume as time rolled on and threatened dire disaster in the near future. Slavery, that great crime against a certain race of people, and of which the North was fully as guilty as the South, promised to be the avenging angel. The African slave trade having been abolished and a great source of revenue been taken away from the New England merchants, they naturally grew indignant. Although black-birding was practised afterwards to a certain extent by soulless, unscrupulous men, it did not pay so well and was rather a dent McKinley and others in high authority during all the phases of the struggle. In less than four months we had Spain helpless down at our feet—a weak, insignificant dwarf was at the mercy of a mighty giant. As victors we were in position to dictate our terms. They were finally accepted by Spain and the treaty of peace is now signed on both sides. At the start it had been stated at headquarters and everywhere that this war was fought for humanity's sake, and therefore in treating for peace with Spain we claimed Porto Rico and the Philippine islands; how could we give the Philippines back to Spain or turn them over to the tender merces of other European nations? Having been selected above all nations by the Lord right the wrongs of these poor islanders, what would he think of us if we would shirk our duty now, or at last hour betray the trust reposited in us? In our great magnanimity we are despoiling Spain of some of her most valuable possessions—are seriously crippling a nation that has always been friendly to us, and not caring a straw what becomes of her people. Although nine-tenths of the population is fully as good as ours, they are not more responsible for the misdeeds perpetrated in the Spanish colonies than we are; a people misruled and misguided, kept down and in ignorance by the priesthood. Other nations are not any better than we are; they would have done exactly as we did. The onward march of a nation can no more be checked by minor considerations than rain can be stopped by wishes or prayers for dry weather. Selfishness, greed seasoned with patriotism, are the mainsprings of the actions of all nations. Why then, in the name of common sense, are we not candid and open? Shake off our hypocritical mantle, be either quiet about our motives or else proclaim to the world that we take these islands as the spoils of war; that we are fast developing into a manufacturing nation and must find and open new markets for our goods; that we must practice charity at home and cannot afford to shed our blood and spend our millions for ungrateful semi-savages and assert that in all our travels we have never met with such an ally as some people high in office prate so much about. Why not let it be known that the prospects in Cuba auger well for us? for, while we are having a hand in their affairs now, American capital will be thrown into the island, American influence will soon predominate, and in the near future, in all likelihood, it will be absorbed by and form a part and parcel of the United States—a happy settlement of the question, undoubtedly, and advantageous to both parties. It is an open question whether the Philippines will ever prove profitable to us, but other nations would take them, pay dear for them and I suppose we are just as able to properly SNAP SHOTS AT THE NIGHT. During the Christmas exercise German Methodist church, at Ill., the large tree loaded with lighted by hundreds of fire-caught fire and blazed up fierce church was packed to the door women screamed and several when the pastor, Rev. Wm. H., commanded the audience to be He said the emergency of fire he provided for and there was no if every one kept still. Then out a familiar hymn, directed that list to play up good and strong dered the choir to sing loud. His attitude restored confidence, people began to sink back into seats. Meanwhile, as the fire and crackled, the music grew. The pastor flicked burning embers the tree that alighted upon his book to the floor and stepped up at the same time singing at his voice. The fire brigade immeditated for service in case of fire threw wet tarpulin over the tree and was stamped out. Then, destruct that the church was filled smoke, the exercises proceeded—the gifts, but with plenty of money. The captured Spanish gunboar varado and Sandoval, have arrived at Norfolk navy yard from Gumbo bay, where they have been hauled and refitted. They are vessels of the Spanish navy to be to the navy of the United States vessels are commanded by two heroes of operations which led the destruction of Cerveraron. Lieutenant Edwin Anderson cut the cable at Cienfuegos in boat, while under fire, commando Sandoval, while the Alvarado mandated by Lieutenant Blue, who first positively located their squadron in Santiago harbor. Vessels have interesting history: Alvarado was surrendered wi tiago and her disposition caused between General Shafter and Sampson.

They ran a log raft in the Albemarle and peake canal and narrowly escaped wrecked. They will proceed Portsmouth (N.H.) navy yard. The engagement of Miss Fair and William K. Vanderbilt of New York has been formed nounced. Miss Fair is a sister Herman Oelrichs. She was in convent of the Sacred San Francisco, and later travel intensely. She went to New York after the marriage of her sister Oelrichs and, with her mother the Pacific ocean. Everything seemed to be serene then. But after a while there appeared in the political heavens a small speck, unnoticed at first by a careless observer, but that grew in volume as time rolled on and threatened dire disaster in the near future. Slavery, that great crime against a certain race of people, and of which the North was fully as guilty as the South, promised to be the avenging angel. The African slave trade having been abolished and a great source of revenue been taken away from the New England merchants, they naturally grew indignant. Although black-birding was practised afterwards to a certain extent by soulless, unsurpululous men, it did not pay so well and was rather a hazardous venture, for the perpetrators were summarily dealt with when caught. North of Mason and Dixon line slavery was not profitable, and in the eyes of the North it appeared that the South alone was reaping the full benefit of that institution. This feeling of jealousy and animosity was increased by Northern abolitionists. The flames of discord were fanned by sensational tales of cruelty practised on the negroes and by pamphlets spread broadcast over the country commenting on the iniquity of slavery. The Southern people had grievances of their own against the North. They wanted expansion; refused all propositions leading to a compromise, and no satisfactory results could be arrived at. This feeling of mutual animosity suddenly burst forth into a flame, and with the first shot fired at Fort Sumter in 1861 in the last days of Buchanan's administration, the war of the rebellion was inaugurated. The North and South stood up in arms against each other. Although it was not exactly President Lincoln's intention when the war began to free the slaves but on January 1st, 1863, he issued his emancipation proclamation, freeing all the Southern negroes, depriving the South of property that had been guaranteed them by the laws of the land. This internecine struggle turned out to be the biggest war in history. It made the North tremble in its very foundation. Its credit was shaken, its currency depreciated and it was borrowing money in the money centers of the world at a great sacrifice long before the end was reached. It had no Spaniards, but valiant, determined men to deal with men that were fighting for their supposed rights and their property. This uneven struggle was kept up till April 9th, 1865, when it closed with the surrender of General Lee and cost the North upwards of six and a half billions of dollars, besides the fearful loss in property and human life. After the close of the war this country entered upon an era of boom, prosperity and progress that has no parallel in the history of any nation on record. European immigrants landed on our eastern shores by the hundreds of thousands every year, while celestials were flocking to the Pacific side. Our public lands were rapidly taken up; empires and cities were founded over night, as it were; transcontinental railroads were built with the aid of the government; new inventions were made and put into use; our soils, forests and mines were exploited to the utmost limit; our obligations were promptly met as they became due; our treasury was filled, and the enormous national debt arising out of the rebellion was dwindling soon to a minimum. Then several years ago under Cleveland's administration there was a lull; it appeared as if we had reached the zenith of our progress, or had come to the end of our rope. The pace at which we had been going had angered and asserted that in all our travels we have never met with such an ally as some people high in office prate so much about. Why not let it be known that the prospects in Cuba auger well for us? for, while we are having a hand in their affairs now, American capital will be thrown into the island, American influence will soon predominate, and in the near future, in all likelihood, it will be absorbed by and form a part and parcel of the United States—a happy settlement of the question, undoubtably, and advantageously to both parties. It is an open question whether the Philippines will ever prove profitable to us, but other nations would take them, pay dear for them and I suppose we are just as able to properly exploit them as they are. Respectfully, HERMAN KOSTER. About Dust. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Without fear of contradiction I can assert that in November and December of 1898 we have had more storms from the east and northeast than I can remember as occurring in any former year during a residence of over 28 years in this state. It has blown persistently, violently; with whirled up so much dust as to occasionally darken the sun. The dust would enter one's eyes, ears, nose and fill up the anatomy. There was no escape from it anywhere; it would penetrate into the houses, settle on floors, chairs and tables and make the strongest ones feel disgusted and discouraged. Did any of my readers ever stop to consider what an important factor dust forms in the household of nature? If not I will enlighten them a little on the subject, as it is not generally known. It is dust alone that makes the clear sky appear blue. When we look upon and into the sky we observe the dust in the atmosphere lit up by the sun. Light passes invisibly through all the gases, no matter of what chemical composition they may be. There the dust absorbs the light, reflects it in every direction and causes the whole atmosphere to appear blue. Without dust we would never see a blue sky. It would always be as dark as we wish on the clearest moonless nights or darker yet. We would have dazzling light where the rays of the sun fall and deep black shadows elsewhere. The light of the moon and stars which would remain visible all day would be able to slightly mitigate the sharp contrast. But it is the dust again that causes the condensation of the vapors in the atmosphere on its floating particles. Without dust there would be no condensation in the air, no fog, no clouds, no rain, no snow. Without dust in the atmosphere nowhere else but on the surface of the earth could condensation take place. Trees and plants, walls and houses would immediately commence to dip after a cooling off of the air. In a northern climate in winter time everything would be covered with a thick crust of ice. All the water that we receive now through rain, snow or hail would become visible in that way. Leaving the house we would get thoroughly soaked through right away. The moist air would penetrate the houses and wet up all objects inside. It would be hard indeed to form a correct idea how different everything would be if there was no dust floating in the air in immense quantities. Respectfully, HERMAN KOSTER. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

PERKINS IN ERRE eastern stores by the hundreds of thousands every year, while celestials were flocking to the Pacific side. Our public lands were rapidly taken up; empires and cities were founded over night, as it were; transcontinental railroads were built with the aid of the government; new inventions were made and put into use; our solls, forests and mines were exploited to the utmost limit; our obligations were promptly met as they became due; our treasury was filled, and the enormous national debt arising out of the rebellion was dwindling soon to a minimum. Then several years ago under Cleveland's administration there was a lull; it appeared as if we had reached the zenith of our progress, or had come to the end of our rope. The pace at which we had been going had been too fast old conditions, old systems had been superseded too suddenly for new ones to accommodate themselves. Our various labor-saving machines were taking away employment from the working classes; the supply of commodities exceeded their demand; factories were shut down or worked on half-time, and workmen were turned into the streets. The cities were filled with idle people and the country was overrun by tramps. The monopolies, trusts, combines and all moneyed powers that had been nurtured and fostered in the last decades held a firm death-grip on the nation's throat, are exercising their influence today at the polls and everywhere to such an extent that the United States can hardly be called a Republic any more. Instead of decreasing our public debt in the last few years we have been continually borrowing money to keep up the current expenses. The number of our pensioners has reached nearly the million mark, and is constantly increasing, with an annual disbursement of about $140,000,000 for pensions. While these dull times were hanging over the United States there was a storm raging over in the West Indies; a drama was being enacted in Cuba. For several years the insurgents had been leading a guerilla war against Spain to overthrow Spanish rule on the island. Sensational accounts of Spanish cruelty had reached us through the papers from Cuba; the state of affairs there was certainly bad enough, and the public mind was constantly kept at high tension. The latter part of February the Maine disaster occurred. The government thereafter commenced to take more decisive steps, and on April 21st war against Spain was declared. After sinking most of her ships, and blundering through this war fairly well, the Lord being our great ally, for divine influence had been noticed by Presi- There are weeds in everybody's garden, and no garden was ever planted in which weeds did not infiltrate present themselves. They come without invitation and without a welcome. If you recognize them as weeds, and if you have sense enough to know that weeds choke flowers, and pull the weeds up, root and branch, you will save the flowers. There are weeds in the health-garden of many a man and woman. The doctors call them disease germs. If you have sense enough to distinguish them from the flowers of health, and root them out, you will be robust, healthy and happy. The most dangerous of all the weeds in the flower garden of health is that deadly creeper consumption. There has never been but one medicine that would choke out this weed, root and all. That medicine is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It acts directly on the lungs through the blood, driving out all impurities and disease germs, and building up new and healthy tissue. It restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver, purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements of the food and tones and builds up the nerves. It sustains the action of the heart and deepens the breathing, supplying the blood with life-giving oxygen. Medicine dealers sell it.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Senators of California is opposed to secession and the Spanish treaty. "I will vote against them brought back from Paris by the Commissioners unless instructed wise by the Legislature of Canada." "I have very strong convictions on the subject, and am not endeavoring to draw an unnecessarily dark line when I predict that a general attack expansion is now going over the country, and before while we will be brought face to face with the fact that we have no mentious problems to solve right at home without going to the Philippines. "It has been stated by some newspapers that Hoar is probably only Republican Senator who against ratification. I am quite certain that other Republican Senators as strongly opposed to the police pansion announced by the Press I am, and when the vote is taken less the treaty is materially affronted it will be found that Senator Hoar not stand alone on the Republicans of the chamber in opposition to its policy which will surely come back plague us. "This is very strong language from a Republican, but very deep and earnest conviction of the subject cannot believe it people of California are willing brush aside the Chinese exclusion into this country as American people on the Pacific Coast been struggling for many years venting the Chinese from competition with our laboring men and now it is proposed at once sweep to admit 7,000,000 of many of whom sixty days are never heard of the United States." During the Christmas exercises in the German Methodist church, at Pekin, the large tree loaded with gifts and lighted by hundreds of candles caught fire and blazed up fiercely. The church was packed to the doors and women screamed and several fainted when the pastor, Rev. Wm. H. Traeger, commanded the audience to be seated. He said the emergency of fire had been provided for and there was no danger every one kept still. Then he gave it a familiar hymn, directed the organ to play up good and strong and ordered the choir to sing loud. His cool attitude restored confidence, and the people began to sink back into their seats. Meanwhile, as the fire roared and crackled, the music grew louder. The pastor flicked burning embers from the tree that alighted upon his hymn book to the floor and stepped upon them, the same time singing at the top of its voice. The fire brigade improvised her service in case of fire threw a heavy tarpaulin over the tree and the fire was stamped out. Then, despite the fact that the church was filled with smoke, the exercises proceeded, minus the gifts, but with plenty of music. The captured Spanish gunboats, Alvarado and Sandoval, have arrived at the Norfolk navy yard from Guantanamo bay, where they have been overruled and refitted. They are the first vessels of the Spanish navy to be added to the navy of the United States. The vessels are commanded by two naval officers of the operations which preceded the destruction of Cervera’s squadron. Lieutenant Edwin Anderson, who sat on the cable at Clienfuegos in an open boat, while under fire, commands the sandoval, while the Alvarado is commanded by Lieutenant Blue, the officer who first positively located the Spanish squadron in Santiago harbor. The two vessels have interesting histories. The Alvarado was surrendered with San Diego and her disposition caused trouble between General Shafter and Admiral Campson. The Sandoval was dismastured and sunk by her own commander. He is devoid of guns now, they having been rendered useless. The vessels had to anchor three times during the dense fogs of the past few days and frequently lost sight of each other in the penetrable mist. They ran into a dog raft in the Albemarle and Chessake canal and narrowly escaped being wrecked. They will proceed to the portsmouth (N. H.) navy yard. The engagement of Miss Virginia Fair and William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., New York has been formally announced. Miss Fair is a sister of Mrs.erman Oelrichs. She was educated the convent of the Sacred Heart, at San Francisco, and later traveled extensively. She went to New York soon after the marriage of her sister to Mr. Elrichs and, with her mother, passed away totally ignorant of our habits, our laws and our institutions. “It is claimed that the acquisition of the Philippines will increase our trade relations, and in support of that theory we are obliged to listen to that glittering sentence, ‘Trade follows the flag.’ That sounds very pleasant and patriotic, but the theory is kicked to death by the stubborn fact that today our official reports show that the balance of trade is in our favor and at the same time the records show that the great bulk of our trade is carried in ships flying foreign flags.” Adjutant-General Corbin told our process of filling in the United States for foreign use, 142,000 tons; for domestic use, 24,600 tons.

Excess of exports of the United States over those of Great Britain for 1898, $200,000,000.

Miss Fair was an intimate friend of her fiance's sister Consuelo, now the Duchess of Marlborough. William Kissam Vanderbilt Jr., is younger than his sister, the Duchess of Marlborough, by a year or two, being about years of age. He is still very youthful in appearance, but has the strong characteristics of the Vanderbilt family, resembling to a marked degree his cousin, the sons of Cornelius Vanderbilt. He has particularly identified himself with yachting in Newport, enricing in many of the smaller races, one of which he nearly lost his life. Newport waters.

If the United States continues its present onward march in commerce a year or two longer it will be the commercial mistress of the world. Its progress during the past year has been amazing. Nothing like it has ever been seen in the history of any country. Europe is getting deeper and deeper into our debt and it will not be long before we shall have a mortgage on that continent. It already owes us a balance of $75,000,000 in gold coin on December account, not to mention unpaid balances of previous months. We are totally ignorant of our habits, our laws and our institutions. "It is claimed that the acquisition of the Philippines will increase our trade relations, and in support of that theory we are obliged to listen to that glittering sentence," Trade follows the flag." That sounds very pleasant and patriotic, but the theory is kicked to death by the stubborn fact that today our official reports show that the balance of trade is in our favor and at the same time the records show that the great bulk of our trade is carried in ships flying foreign flags. "Adjutant-General Corbin told our committee a few days ago that we would require an army of 50,000 men in Cuba, even after we have sent all of the Spanish soldiers back to Spain. Many people who are crying so loudly for expansion have failed to stop to consider the great burdens which will fall upon the weary taxpayers to maintain a standing army of 100,000 and also maintain such governments as may be determined upon in the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico. Unless I am greatly mistaken, a reaction will in which may sweep the Republican party from power because of the unwise policy of expansion." WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. — However sound may be Senator Perkins' opposition to the ratification of the treaty of peace, his conclusions in the interview printed today regarding the position taken by other Republican Senators does not appear to be correct. President McKinley, in the first place, has in his possession the names of seventy-one Senators who will vote for the ratification of the treaty at the first opportunity. In this list appears the name of Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, who has been currently reported as being unchangeably against the treaty's ratification. What Senator Hoar opposes is the holding of the Philippines in bondage, and that is not contemplated by the treaty. Senator Hale of Maine is the only consipuous Senator on the Republican side who will vote against the treaty. Senator Perkins' friends here are somewhat astonished at his interview. Strangely enough, however, they predict that he will change his opinion before the voting begins. Other California men in Washington declare that Senator Perkins misunderstands the sentiment of that State, and that when he realizes that the people are for expansion he will vote accordingly. President McKinley is being urged by the friends of expansion to indicate in his message submitting the treaty to Senate what the policy of this government is to be toward the new territory. They are urging him to explain the intentions of the administration in such a way as to break down the idea of the ugly "imperial" policy, and to show the country that he is after commerce, not territory or people.

"It is claimed that the acquisition of the Philippines will increase our trade relations, and in support of that theory we are obliged to listen to that glittering sentence," Trade follows the flag." That sounds very pleasant and patriotic, but the theory is kicked to death by the stubborn fact that today our official reports show that the balance of trade is in our favor and at the same time the records show that the great bulk of our trade is carried in ships flying foreign flags. "Adjutant-General Corbin told our committee a few days ago that we would require an army of 50,000 men in Cuba, even after we have sent all ofthe Spanish soldiers back to Spain.Many people who are crying so loudly for expansion have failed to stop to consider the great burdens which will fall upon the weary taxpayers to maintain a standing army of 100,000 and also maintain such governments as may be determined upon in the Philippines,Cuba and Porto Rico.Unless I am greatly mistaken,a reaction will in which may sweepthe Republic party from power becauseofthe unwisepolicyofexpansion."

Days He Will Vote Against the Treaty of Peace—Against Expansion. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Senator Perkins of California is opposed to expansion and the Spanish treaty. He says: "I will vote against the treaty brought back from Paris by the Peace commissioners unless instructed otherwise by the Legislature of California. "I have very strong convictions on the subject, and am not endeavoring to saw an unnecessarily dark picture when I predict that a general reaction against expansion is now going on all over the country, and before a great mile we will be brought face to face with the fact that we have more mo-mentous problems to solve right here home without going to the far-offilippines." "It has been stated by some of the newspapers that Hoar is probably the only Republican Senator who will vote against ratification. I am quite certain that other Republican Senators are strongly opposed to the policy of expansion announced by the President as am, and when the vote is taken, un- as the treaty is materially amended, will be found that Senator Hoar does not stand alone on the Republican side the chamber in opposition to a pol- y which will surely come home toague us." "This is very strong language to come from a Republican, but I have very deep and earnest convictions on a subject and cannot believe that the people of California are willing to rush aside the Chinese exclusion acts and allow millions of Chinese to rush to this country as American citizens. Our people on the Pacific Coast have been struggling for many years to prevent the Chinese from coming into competition with our laboring people and now it is proposed at one fell oop to admit 7,000,000 of mongrels, any of whom, sixty days ago, had ever heard of the United States and The New Commercial Mistress. If the United States continues its present onward march in commerce a year or two longer it will be the commercial mistress of the world. Its progress during the past year has been amazing. Nothing like it has ever been seen in the history of any country. Europe is getting deeper and deeper into our debt and it will not be long before we shall have a mortgage on that continent. It already owes us a balance of $75,000,000 in gold coin on December account, not to mention unpaid balances of previous months. We are selling it two dollars' worth of goods for every dollar's worth we buy. We are loaning it money and have plenty more to loan. We are getting to be its great creditor.

I had fallen off in weight from 140 to 119 pounds. I called on my doctor to give me something to build me up. He advised me to try a change of climate and also gave me Hood's Sarsaparilla, with the remark, 'that is best,' and that I would not need any other medicine. After I had taken the first bottle I found myself greatly improved. I procured another bottle and also a box of Hood's Pills and I was soon perfectly well. I have since taken Hood's Sarsaparilla as a tonic and blood medicine and have always found it good. My husband and little daughter have also taken it with benefit. I have found Hood's Pills an excellent cathartic." Miss. C. F. Horn, Vernon, Sutter Co., via Nicolaus, California.

THE PURPLE SCALE. Two Parasites Preying Upon the Pest Said to Have Been Found in Hawaii. The Los Angeles board of supervisors is in receipt of a report from George Compere, the special commissioner sent to Hawaii recently at the expense of that county to secure a parasite for the purple scale. His success is a matter of congratulation to all who feel that this pest will soon be overcome as thoroughly as was the white scale. Mr. Compere writes: "HONOLULU, H. I., Dec. 20, 1898. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County—Gentlemen: As your honorable board have sent me here to secure a parasite of the purple scale, I will inform you of the conditions here. In the first place, I find that there are not many citrus trees here on this island, there is no such thing as an orchard here, only a few trees in one place, and there are few places where there are as many as twenty trees in a place, and these are all well cared for and are free from live scale, with the exception of the wax scale, and that is not very destructive, but a great many of the trees are infected with a rust mite, Typhlodromus Olcivorus. This is a very dangerous pest, and one that is difficult to exterminate. This mite attacks indiscriminately the various species of citrus trees. There are a few trees infested with the red scale, and no parasites destroying it to any great extent. The steel blue lady bird, Orcus Chalybeus, are feeding on it some. The white cottony cushion scale is found here yet on trees and plants that are badly infested with ants. The ants destroy the larvae of the Vedalia and the same trouble is found in destroying the mealy bug that infests the Pineapples and citrus trees, where the ants are the lady bug, Crypolaemas Montrozquieri, cannot get to work on the pest, the white scale and mealy bug are not considered a pest any longer here. As for the purple scale, it has two parasites here, and either one of them, if once established in Los Angeles county, would exterminate the purple scale to such an extent that it will no longer be considered a pest. One of them is the lady bird Chloeocorus Circumdatus, the other is a small internal parasite. The first ten days that I was here was spent in searching for the ladybird, and it was not until I found that one and placed it in breeding jars and began feeding them that I discovered that only a very few scale were found on trees that had the appearance of yet being very badly infested, but on making a close examination it was found that they all had a small hole in the back and all were dead. As soon as Prof. Koebele arrived here I reported to him what I had found, and he was..." The first ten days that I was here was spent in searching for the ladybird, and it was not until I found that one and placed it in breeding jars and began feeding them that I discovered that only a very few scale were found on trees that had the appearance of yet being very badly infested, but on making a close examination it was found that they all had a small hole in the bick and all were dead. As soon as Prof. Koebele arrived here I reported to him what I had found, and he was surprised at the work they had done, as it is not long since he sent this parasite here from one of the other islands. This parasite works on trees that no ladybird can work on here, on account of the ants and lizards that infest some of the trees. There is one species of ants with very powerful jaws, and it only takes them a few moments to destroy a ladybird or its larvae. "By this steamer I send to the horticultural commission one package of the Chilocorus Circumdatus and one package of the internal parasites, and I also send one of each to Wm. Wood of Rivera, as well as some other parasites for Aphis, and will send some by every steamer after this. There are a number of very valuable parasites here that we have plenty of work for in Los Angeles, two in particular that feed on Aphis and plant-lice of all kinds. This will prove of great value to the walnut growers, as the walnut trees suffered a great deal from the ravages of this pest this past season in all parts of the county. I will send as many of these lady-birds as I can find. One of them is Platyomus Lividigaster. The other is Coccinella Repanla, and there are others that I will try to send over if I have time to do so while I am over here. "Prof. Koebele has been worth millions of dollars to planters of these islands, and they think a great deal of him, and I don't think that they will ever part with him. He has been very kind to me since he arrived, and is doing all he can to help make a success of my trip over here. If any person was to come here with a fumigating or spraying outfit he would be laughed at." Peter Early, formerly a Tacoma blacksmith, went to Alaska three years ago and located some quartz claims near Berners Bay. A letter has been received from him in which he says that after years of unremitting toll fortune has smiled on him at last. Last fall he and his partner gave an option on eleven claims to a London syndicate, the price agreed upon being $200,000. They have just been notified that the option will be taken up and cash paid for the claims about Jan. 10. Early's share will be $72,000. He will be manager of the new company's works there for a year at $1000 a month. Early and his partner have thirteen good claims left, which will be developed with part of the cash received from the sale. Pacific Coast Steamship Co.
