The visit to this neighborhood of I. N. Pattison of the Southern Pacific railroad, who comes for the purpose of preparing the way for the building of that railroad from its present location up Santa Ana street to the company's new depot grounds near the business center inaugurating as it does anew era in the material advancement of the city, should meet with the cordial approval, and call out the instant co-operation, of the people of this city. A community is at best just what its residents make it. If its residents be alert and wide-awake, possessed of that go-ahead spirit which is being developed in so many localities of Southern California today, it will prosper and partake of the advancement which the opulent possibilities of the soil and the climate hold out to it. If, on the other hand, its inhabitants are laggards, seemingly possessed of nothing but their own selfish interests; not wide-awake, but on the contrary sleepy and with a coating of lovely emerald moss suffusing their vertebra—that community will never amount to a hill of beans. Happily for us, we have none such in this wide-awake and energetic community. Anaheim is the premier of all the colony settlements of Southern California. Forty years ago the Pioneers held up the torch of civilization, emblazoning the way to progress and prosperity in the then trackless wilds of the West. The first water development in the country, after the Mission fathers, was that which later developed into the magnificent water system now supplying our valley with the life-giving fluid.
The same sturdy patriotism and go-ahead qualities which marked the course of the Pioneers in those early days, dominates the community to a
for the erection of the City Hall, for the construction of our extensive water works system, for the municipal street-lighting electric plant and the commercial lights, which the city operates successfully. Let any one compare our municipal tax rate with that of other progressive communities—with Redlands or Riverside, for instance—and there will be no necessity for this interminable howl of high taxation upon the part of those who do not contribute a penny in taxes for the support of the municipality.
To throw out the insinuation in a paper having the circulation of the Times, which is read by thousands of homeseekers daily, that the value of all property here is decreasing, is prehensible: it does not emanate from one having the welfare of the community at heart. It is altogether untruthful, and no one knew it better than the correspondent referred to. Complaints have not come "thick and fast" during "the past four weeks," about taxes—that is the height of absurdity—and the correspondent knows that also.
Board of Supervisors.

TEMPEST IN A TEAM
Santa Ana Republicans In a Fermentation the Way Things are Going at Sacramento.
A meeting of the Republican Santa Ana was held in that town Saturday evening for the purpose stated before the meeting, of pass set of resolutions requesting Sen Jones and Assemblyman Chynow cease in their support of Grant change to another candidate, prefer Bulla.
The meeting seems to have stamped by the few Grant folly present, and it adjourned in disarray.
The Grant people, headed by McFadden, Cash Harvey, and McPhee of the Snickernee, proposed resolution in which Burns was denied and which claimed that the poor machinery of the State, of theern Pacific Railroad company in Governor Gage was being used to Burns.
As a substitute to this, another lution was offered, recommending both Burns and Grant be dropped that Senator Jones and Chynow requested to withdraw their seat from Grant, and to use all hours means to elect a Republican will be acceptable to the Board.
A lively wrangle ensued, which McFadden, who is now Grant's light in Orange county interests of Senator Perkins, accused Governor Gage of using distribution of State patronage interest of Dan Burns' candidacy Fadden stated he did not believe Grant could be elected. After hours' hot discussion, some one motion to adjourn, which was without any definite action having taken.
After the meeting adjourned who had individually indorsed Burns, gesting a conference between those Senatorial candidates, steppedward to take their names off if the insinuations against Governor Gage were not eliminated. They done, and the names remained.

Anaheim is the premier of all colony settlements of Southern California. Forty years ago the Pioneers held up the torch of civilization, emblazoning the way to progress and prosperity in the then trackless wilds of the West. The first water development in the country, after the Mission fathers, was that which later developed into the magnificent water system now supplying our valley with the life-giving fluid.
The same sturdy patriotism and go-ahead qualities which marked the course of the Pioneers in those early days, dominates the community to a large degree today. And now that we have come, so to speak, to another milestone in the development of the material prosperity of the community, it is pleasing to witness such co-operative accord extended our distinguished visitor on every hand. His visit here has been characterized by the pleasant intercourse with our people. Mr. Pattison has been met with manifestations of good-will on every hand. Let us hope that he may be successful in securing rights of way through the streets selected for his road to run, and let us also hope the iron horse may soon be drawing the cars of the railway company into the new depot to be erected upon the lot up-town.
To the residents of Placentia it should be said that now is the time for the realization of hope to be joined in rail communication with this city. We think the indications point to the construction of the road to that rich and inviting section, and probably on to Chino. If the people of that section will co-operate with Mr. Pattison, we believe the road will be running into Placentia inside of sixty days.
There are also good grounds for believing the Southern Pacific will build their Los Alamitos branch on to Long Beach, connecting with their line to San Pedro, as well as the construction of a spur from Benedict to Westminster and the Peat Lands. This will make Anaheim the central point of quite a network of railroads.
Already there are rumors of brick buildings to be erected in the center of the city, and on all sides Anaheim seems destined to take an energetic spurt in the race for advancement that has characterized Southern California towns during the past year. With our cannery enlarged and in successful operation, and with many other industries' blossoming into existence, this city has a future before it second to none in the State.
Speed the railroad!
HERE is a fair specimen of the rot which the Anaheim correspondent of the Los Angeles Times persists in furnishing that newspaper:
Recent agitation regarding high taxes in the city has brought on a general complaint from taxpayers. Complaints have come so thick and fast from all quarters during the past four weeks that in self protection the City Clerk, who is also assessor, has made a public statement. In it he makes clear that he is not individually responsible for the high rate obtaining. He then proceeds to demonstrate that the value of property in the city has been increased.
The following applications for licenses to sell liquor in the county were granted, upon the chairman approving the applicants' bonds: S. Hess of Santa Ana; T. J. F. Boege, D. H. Doston, Almitos; E. W. Morgan, F. Gruenemay, D. Lieb, F. Ruhmann, R. Wisser, Mons Pauchon, N. Hart, Anaheim; A. Brandel, Fullerton.
The board purchased five acres of land of Lyda Preble near Tustin for $825. On this property is located the mine of the Tustin cement, now being extensively used upon the public highways in the county.
The petition for a new public highway in the Fullerton road district, through the T. A. Yorba tract, east of Santa Ana, was granted.
The petition for a new public highway in the Fullerton road district was ordered filed, and Robert Parker, A. V. Smith and County Surveyor Finley were appointed viewers of the proposed road.
The petition establishing a new judicial township, to be known as Buena Park judicial township, comprising all of the Buena Park voting precinct, was granted. J. W. Landell was appointed Justice of the Peace for this new township.
The fellow who did not know what was the matter with him, but who felt bad all over called for bitters in a saloon. The barkeeper, knowing it to be the best and being aware of its surprising efficacy, gave him Casea Ferrine. The result is indicated by the fact that the fellow has since been shouting its praises. It's a California preparation and is the only tonic laxative in the world.
The Canal Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The party whip is going to be applied in order to put the Nicaragua canal bill through. That is the real news in the situation tonight. It will be recalled that Uncle Joe Cannon felt pretty bitter toward the canal a week ago, but he will have to get into line now, for President McKinley has concluded that the time has come for him to do a little driving on his own account.
This decision on the part of the President was reached yesterday and communicated to Representative Hepburn, who has charge of the Canal bill in the House. Mr. Hepburn kept it to himself until today, when he let it be known, and at the same time he announced that he could give the names of a sufficient number of representatives who will vote for the canal in the House to assure the measure over sixty majority. Mr. Hepburn is feeling confident today and Uncle Joe Cannon is correspondingly depressed.
Thursday the Senate will take up the Rivers and Harbors bill, according to Senator Frye, and there appears to be not much chance for delay in the final passage of the measure, canal amendment and all. Then it will go to the House and the final struggle will come. Speaker Reed will fight it hard, but the Republicans have now reached a point where they will have to desert Reed or the administration. There is open war between the two, and the administration appears to be on top.
The Deadly Grip

Its sure signs are chills with fever, headache, dull heavy pains, mucous dislention without any definite action having taken.
After meeting adjourned who had individually indorsed his solution denouncing Burns, and gesting a conference between hisous Senatorial candidates, stepward to take their names off if if the insinuations against Gage were not eliminated. To done, and the names remained.
The resolutions passed by the aggregation of Republicans nothing—they are neither fish nor good red herring. They rejoice.
Hon. H. W. Chynoweth-Dear I undersigned Republicans of Orange note with much regret for late long contraversy over this election of States Senator from this State, and terminated efforts on part of the allies of D. M. Burns to elect him responsible and office.
"As the present Senatorial issue has developed since your elections decided to express your views, he believes that you will receive truly and welcome any suggestion."
First—It is the opinion of the united that election of D. M. Burns to election of United States Senator would trouser to the Republican party of Georgia and detrimental to the best interest.
Second—We fear that the friend other leading candidates have become bitter against each other during traced controversy that they either have become quite impossible.
Third—We think it would be difficult for Grass Burlan to break up without some well defined condition that would obviate; the danger considerable number going to Be we are therefore of the opinion that interests of the party demand a call among the followers of the war dates with your view agree with many worthy representthe R party of this State.

It would seem that Grass took Linn Shaw into camp.

HERE is a fair specimen of the rot which the Anaheim correspondent of the Los Angeles Times persists in furnishing that newspaper:
Recent agitation regarding high taxes in the city has brought on a general complaint from taxpayers. Complaints have come so thick and fast from all quarters during the past four weeks that in self protection the City Clerk, who is also assessor, has made a public statement. In it he makes clear that he is not individually responsible for the high rate obtaining. He then proceeds to demonstrate that the value of property in the city has decreased instead of increased. Lots appraised six years ago at $50 or more, will not bring $20 today. No new valuation for the assessor's guidance has been made since 1893. In conclusion, he asks a way out of the difficulty. One lot cannot be reduced without cutting them all. As the present taxation is just enough to pay the city's way, by pinching, he does not see where it will be possible to improve matters, for if valuation is lowered in response to the clamor of property owners, there remains but one thing to do and that is to raise the tax rate.
The facts of the case are these: At last week's meeting of the City Trustees the City Clerk, who is also Assessor, made a statement to the Trustees covering the shrinkage in values in certain outside city lots, which he said had been assessed at $65 each, but which could now be purchased for $30 or $40 cash. This assessed value ($65 per lot) is nothing more nor less than "boom" values, and doubtless during the palm days of the boom these pieces of property could not be purchased for ten times the amount they are now held at. But notwithstanding these inflated values, that prevailed during that period of speculation throughout the length and breadth of Southern California, the city authorities have wisely determined that these parcels of property should bear their legitimate proportion of the burdens of taxation.
Everyone knows that there has been very little call for realty in Southern California during the past few years. The real-estate market has been dull, but shrewd observers see brighter times ahead. Anaheim has experienced this era of decreased values in common with other communities in Southern California; but to say that all values have decreased, or even that an "agitation" exists against "high taxation," is to say what is not true. The rate of taxation here is 65 cents on the $100 for the General fund; in Santa Ana it is $1. The other items of our assessment are for the payment of bonds for municipal improvements—

EMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
Ana Ana Republicans In a Ferment over the Way Things are Going at Sacramento.
The meeting of the Republicans of Ana Ana was held in that town on Friday evening for the purpose, as and before the meeting, of passing a resolution requesting Senator Chynoweth to be in their support of Grant and Gage to another candidate, preferably Ana.
The meeting seems to have been expedited by the few Grant followers present, and it adjourned in disorder. The Grant people, headed by James Padden, Cash Harvey, and Editor Phoebe of the Snickernee, proposed a resolution in which Burns was denounced and which claimed that the political machinery of the State, of the South-Pacific Railroad company and of Governor Gage was being used to help them.
As a substitute to this, another resolution was offered, recommending that Burns and Grant be dropped, and that Senator Jones and Chynoweth be requested to withdraw their support from Grant, and to use all honorable means to elect a Republican who will be acceptable to the people.
A lively wrangle ensued during which McFadden, who is making Grant's fight in Orange county in the interests of Senator Perkins, openly used Governor Gage of using the distribution of State patronage in the interest of Dan Burns candidacy. McFadden stated he did not believe that Grant could be elected. After a two days' hot discussion, some one made a motion to adjourn, which was carried without any definite action having been taken.
After the meeting adjourned, many who had individually indorsed the resolution denouncing Burns, and suggesting a conference between the various Senatorial candidates, stepped forward to take their names off the same, the insinuations against Governor Gage were not eliminated. This was done, and the names remained.
The resolutions passed by the precious congregation of Republicans mean nothing—they are neither fish, flesh nor good red herring. They read:
SANTA ANA. Cal., Feb. 18, 1899.
Hon. H. W. Chynoweth—Dear Sir: The undersigned Republicans of Orange county with much regret the long-continued effort over the election of a United titling itself to the base uses that have characterized its course since the assembling of the Legislature. It has piled lies upon lies, and its news from Sacramento is utterly unreliable. The assertion that we have charged Shaw with being a Burns "man," is absolutely without foundation, as the Call knows, and knew when it set itself to the congenial task of distorting our reference to Shaw. That gentleman said distinctly he was for Bulla, but he added that as between Burns and Grant, he preferred the former. He would have none of the pettifogging carpet-bagger who is trying to purchase the Senatorship at Sacramento, and his sentiments are those of a vast majority of Republicans in Orange county.
Outside of James McFadden, Cash Harvey and Horace McPhee, and the employees of the former at Santa Ana and Newport, there are no Republicans in Orange county, with the exception of those who are susceptible to the influence of these gentlemen, and perhaps a few other exceptions, who favor Grant's candidature for the United States Senate.
There are not forty men in the county who favor Grant for the Senatorship, and our representatives at Sacramento are forfeiting the right to continued support of the men who helped elect them, by persisting in the support of that gentleman.

Mrs. Darling, the captain's wife, who had for hours been held by her husband in his arms, succumbed to the fearful cold and died. For hours afterward, from Tuesday until Wednesday, the captain held her body, so that the seas should not sweep it away. For three days, the crew, without food or water, stood lashed to the rail, the cold waves washing them almost continuously. On Thursday the schooner Mount Hope came along, took them off and brought them to this port.

You have no idea how hot Grant man to tell him you want see Burns elected than Gage that sort of talk is not scarce and I don't think it is down on the contest ever narrows down and Burns there is no doubt be senator. Grant is not tradition in the fight. It won his followers to think of him just have to think of his sudden rise to fame came aboard: I met Mr. Chynoweth lobby of the assembly, after from Anahelm, and asked if found the senatorial sentence there. He answered that he congratulated on remain Grant, but didn't have many people. I asked him have time to see James McFadden he replied, "Yes, I saw him minutes." I then asked him besides Mr. McFadden congrat him on staying with Grange couldn't think of anybody him that from all I could people down there we against Grant, and as he Grant so long it would seem it would be no more than him to follow the wishes of which had been very clearly in the Bulla petition, especially had been shown that Grant be elected.

Hon. H. W. Chynoweth—Dear Sir, The undersigned Republicans of Orange County have with much regret long continued utterly over the election of a United Senator from this State, and the determined efforts on the part of the powerful D. M. Burns to elect him to that honorable and responsible office.
As the present Senatorial issue has large-developed since your election, we have decided to express our feelings hereafter and welcome any suggestion from us. First—It is the opinion of the undersigned that the election of D. M. Burns to the position of United States Senator would be disastrous to the Republican party of California and detrimental to the best interests of this state.
Second—We fear that the friends of the other leading candidates have become so embittered against each other during this projected controversy that the election of other has become quite impossible.
Third—We think it would be dangerous and therefore unwise to keep followers of Grant desires to go into caucus with the Burns supporters left out. Massachusset as he would undoubtedly control that caucus, the followers of Bulla, Barnes and the other short endorsers have said him nay, not by a jugful.
Bulla is willing to go into a caucus of the short-enders, and Burns wants a caucus of all the Republicans in the legislature.
There the deadlock stands, and unless the wise solons at Sacramento permit some light to enter their skulls, the session, which lasts only another week or so, is liable to end without the election of a Republican Senator.
The fourth resolution is probably the slap of the Santa Ana Grantites against the Governor, but this, we understand, was eliminated upon the demand of the Governor's many friends in that town, and the resolutions were forwarded to Sacramento without it.
Let Grant step out of the race! He is not a representative California Republican—he has hardly a legal residence in the State. A pettifogging carpet-bagger, his election to the United States Senate would be an everlasting disgrace to the State of California!
After the meeting James McFadden sent the following telegram to Sacramento:

Spanish Cortes in WildUproar."
After the meeting James McFadden, according to the San Francisco Call, sent the following telegram to Sacramento:
Hon. H. W. Chynoweth, Sacramento, Cal.
A large meeting officially called to order by Shaw has just been held. It was addressed by him and the Court House push. Resolutions bemirching Grant and asking the representatives to drop him were voted down by a large majority. The meeting lasted two hours and resulted in a complete victory for Grant over the machine. Shaw's statements are proven false. A letter extensively signed will be forwarded tomorrow. Inform Jones, also Grant.
James McFadden.
Of course, since McFadden telegraphed, it was proper for Editor McPhee to telegraph also. It is said at Santa Ana that when McFadden takes snuff McPhee sneezes. McPhee sent the following dispatch to Sacramento:
Santa Ana, Feb. 18, 1899.
Hon. H. W. Chynoweth, Sacramento, Cal.
The Blade to morrow will say: "Linn L. Shaw, chairman of the Republican County Central Committee, who is holding a central position at Sacramento, arrives tonight to hold a mass meeting last night to declare against U. S. Grant. Notice of such proposed action at U. S. Grant. Notice of such proposed action at U. S. Grant."
A still hunt organized to pack the meeting with Grant opponents. No public notice was issued till near noon on Saturday, but friends of Grant and opponents of D. M. Burns took charge of the meeting and ran it from start to finish. Grant's friends being largely in the majority. Adjournment was had after two hours' stormy debate without action taken. A motion denouncing Grant was overwhelmingly voted down."
Of what good McPhee's dispatch could have amounted to (that the Blade was going to have something to say about the meeting) does not appear. McFadden having telegraphed, that settled it with the Blade. But it was kind of McPhee to let Chynoweth know beforehand what the Blade would have to say about it.
Senator Jones is quoted in the Call as follows:
"I have received no telegram from the County Committee of Orange County," said Senator Jones this evening, "but I suppose it is because the meeting did not go as they expected it would. The plan is to have us vote for Bulla, and I have received word from a friend of mine that Shaw would work for the interests of Bulla in the Legislature, but I heard Shaw say that next to Grant, he would prefer to see Burns elected than anybody else. But he is not working for Grant up here, and I don't see what he is doing among Bulla's followers."
"The people down in the country know nothing of affairs up here. They think that if a few men go over to Bulla others will follow and there will be a big enough rush to elect him, but those on the ground can see that such is not the case. Shaw may have the support of some of the people down there, but it is because they don't understand the scheme and they don't know the condition of the right. Besides, Shaw is a Burns man. We can see that here, but they cannot see it down there. It will not work, however. We are going to stay with Grant to end."
The Call further says:
The ANAHIM GAZETTE of February 16 contained an article in which it is boldly charged that Shaw is a Burns man and his own words were quoted to prove the assertion.
It is difficult to imagine a great paper like the Call (like it used to be) prosti-

MAKES EM MAD. To Tell Grant Men One Would Prefer Burns for Senator to the San Diego. Linn Shaw writes as follows from Sacramento relative to the latest phases of the Senatorial fight:
You have no idea how hot it makes a Grant man to tell him you would rather see Burns elected than Grant. But that sort of talk is not scarce up here, and I don't think it is down there. If the contest ever narrows down to Grant and Burns there is no doubt who will be senator. Grant is nothing but a tradition in the fight. It won't do for his followers to think of him—they just have to think of his father. My sudden rise to fame came about in this way: I met Mr. Chynoweth in the lobby of the assembly, after his return from Anaheim, and asked him how he found the senatorial sentiment down there. He answered that he had been congratulated on remaining with Grant, but didn't have time to see many people. I asked him if he didn't have time to see James McFadden, and he replied, "Yes, I saw him for a few minutes." I then asked him if anyone besides Mr. McFadden congratulated him on staying with Grant, but he couldn't think of anybody else. I told him that from all I could learn the people down there were turning against Grant, and as he had voted for Grant so long it would seem to me that it would be no more than proper for him to follow the wishes of his people, which had been very clearly expressed in the Bulla petition, especially as it had been shown that Grant could not be elected. He replied with some warmth that he would not leave a man

Wonderful Figure.

Grant, but didn't have time to see many people. I asked him if he didn't have time to see James McFadden, and he replied, "Yes, I saw him for a few minutes." I then asked him if anyone besides Mr. McFadden congratulated him on staying with Grant, but he couldn't think of anybody else. I told him that from all I could learn the people down there were turning against Grant, and as he had voted for Grant so long it would seem to me that it would be no more than proper for him to follow the wishes of his people, which had been very clearly expressed in the Bulla petition, especially as it had been shown that Grant could not be elected. He replied with some warmth that he would not leave a man when he was under fire, but whether he meant that it was himself or Grant who was under fire, seems slightly in doubt.
When Mr. Chynoweth told me that he proposed staying with Grant, regardless of what the people of Orange county said or did, I told him plainly that by so doing he would invite suspicions as to his purpose, as it was well known that outside money had been used in Orange county for his election; and it was this statement, presumably, that brought the storm wrath upon my devoted head. I was then introduced to Works and Crowder by Mr. Chynoweth and they went after reinforcements until they had six or seven Grant men, who apparently were not overjoyed with having made my acquaintance and endeavored to do a few turns at high and low bluffing, which had no good results. They claimed that if I was in favor of a senator from the south I should assist Grant, to which I replied that my only efforts had been directed towards trying to induce our representatives to leave Grant, which was what their constituents desired them to do. "But if the Grant forces are broken Burns will be elected," they objected, adding hastily that none of their men would vote for him. Of course any school boy who looks at the figures can see that Burns cannot be elected without Grant votes, and I told them that as matters now stood I could not see how the selection of a senator could be affected unless both Grant and Burns withdrew, and that a legislature with a joint Republican majority of fifty certainly ought to elect a senator. "Don't you want a senator from the south," they asked. "Certainly," I replied, "but rather than see the legislature adjourn without making a selection I would by all means rather see one from the north." All this was rather amusing to me, for of course I could have no more to do with the matter than any "layman," but they seemed to have the idea that I had some sort of a "pull," and that it was highly necessary to head me off. Finally one of them said, "Well this fight is between Grant and Burns, and if you are trying to weaken Grant's strength you are helping Burns." Then it was, believe, that I said if it came to a fight between those two I would prefer Burns. And then the newspaper reporters were filled up after I left, and of course the "roast" followed, as I knew it would, for that is what the reporters are paid for. It is their job to brand everyone who comes to Sacramento, who is against Grant, as a "Burns tout"; but they have overworked the thing to such an extent that no one pays much attention to it. The fight being put up by Grant is the most disreputable and inexcusable one I ever saw. It would seem that an attempt is being made to enlist the support of everything that is calculated to terrorize both his supporters and his opponents. It's a desperate game, but it won't win—at least if it does, it will be a sorry day for the Republican Wonderful Figure.
One of the most marvelous workmen in the world is Hananuma Masakichi of Tokyo, who has carved a figure in wood so like himself that when the two are placed side by side it is said to be almost impossible to tell which lives and breathes and which does not.
By several connoisseurs in art this wooden figure has been pronounced the most perfect and human image of man ever made. Masakichi has faithfully reproduced every scarf, vein and wristle to be seen on his own body. The figure is composed of 2,000 pieces of wood, dovetailed and jointed with such wonderful skull that no seams can be detected.
Tiny holes were drilled for the reception of hairs, and the wooden figure has glass eyes and eyelashes in which no dissimilarity to Masakichi's own can be detected.
The Japanese artist posed between two mirrors while modeling this figure, and for some time after its completion he posed frequently beside it, to the confusion of spectators, who were often entirely at a loss as to which was the artist. The figure stands with a little mask in one hand and an instrument for carving in the other. The lifelike eyes are apparently gazing at the mask, and the face wears a look of intense absorption.
Full of Business.
The following old time handbill issued near Lancaster, England, must have come from one who was emulating the example of the man who had five talents and made of them five talents more. Let us hope he was rewarded:
"James Williams, parish olerk, sexon, town crier and bellman, makes and sells all sorts haberdasheries, groceries, etc.; likewise hair and wigs drest and out on shortest notice. N.B.-I keep an evening school where I teach at humble rates reading, riting and rithmetic and singing. N.B.-I play an hooby occasionally if wanted. N.B.-By shop next door see where I bleed, draw teeth and shoe horses with greatest soil. N.B.-Children taught to dance by me, J. Williams, who buy and sell old iron and coats; boots and shoes cleaned and mended. A ball on Wednesdays and Tuesdays."
The Paris Bill Poster.
The bill poster of Paris is a more picturesque personage than his brother of New York. He plies his trade in winds and weather, and he is nothing daunted by the assignment of a bleak suburban district on a rainy day.
He ties his posters—incased in a waterproof cover—across his back. He fastens on his paste pot. He mounts his bicycle. Then he opens his umbrella—for he is an expert wheelman and can manage it and his wheel at once. All over the umbrella are advertisements in little form of the article or the event which he intends to advertise in large by his posters, so his entire route is placarded, and he himself is a living advertisement—Paris Correspondent.

Killing Frosts in Florida.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 14.—Reports from the southern part of the peninsula state that killing frosts prevailed on the east coast at and below Jupiter in the pineapple section. It is feared that this industry has received a heavy blow, but until full details can be had no estimate of the losses can be made. Regarding the loss to the orange industry, all are at sea at present. Old settlers and growere are encouraged to think that the groves are not hurt as badly as at first feared, in the orange section of the lower part of the state more especially.
In the interior and northern parts much damage has been done. Tampa reports 21 degrees this morning, and other places in that section equally as low. The famous thirty-acre grove of Millionaire Steteon, of Philadelphia, at Deland, is believed to have been damaged very much. This grove had been inclosed by boards, and the experiment had been looked forward to with much interest by old growers, as they all expected that it would save the trees, but last night the thermometer marked 19 above in the inclosed spaces, and this is taken to show that the trees will be badly damaged. How much can not be known for some days.

The Awkwardness of Being a Prince.
The Prince of Wales is placed by fats in the most difficult position of any English subject. Libeled incessantly, continuously and malignantly, silence is imposed on him by reasons of state. If he patronizes the drama, for the neglect of which the queen is persistently blamed, the prince is depicted as a trifler, who finds in the society of mummers relief from the tedium of a wasted life. If he encourages our national sports, he is a profligate and is compared with royal predecessors, whose conduct would certainly not commend itself today even to the stanchest supporters of monarchy. If he does not lavish money he does not possess, he is said to be stingy. If he makes an outlay on a church at Sandringham or a ball at Marlborough House, he is a spendthrift. Unworthy friendships are attributed to him with men upon whom he has never set eyes or with whom he may perhaps have exchanged a casual word. If he plays a game of cards, he is a gambler.
Fierce as is the light that beats upon a throne, the cruel and searching illumination of the prince's life inflicts on him the disabilities and responsibilities, while denying him either the power of the throne or the privileges of a private station.—Harper's Magazine.

The Opium Cannota,
"Well, now, can you, from your extensive experience, give us your opinion as to the state of Chinese opinion in regard to the opium habit, looking at the state of things not only among the working classes, but also the merchants, the literati, the official classes, and also can you tell us what you saw during your sojourn in the interior which would give you an opportunity of forming an opinion as to how the Chinese regard this question?"
"As regards Chinese popular opinion in respect to the opium habit, it is decidedly against it. There is a common Cantonese saying that sums up rather appositely 'the ten cannots' with regard to the opium sot. It says, 'First, give up the habit; second, enjoy sleep; third, wait for his turn when sharing his pipe with his friends; fourth, rise early; fifth, be cured if sick; sixth, help relations in need; seventh, enjoy wealth; eighth, plan anything; ninth, get oredit, even when an old customer; tenth, walk any long distance.' That I think, sums up the popular view of the Chinese with regard to the opium habit."

How Galvin Caught Ward Napping.
"There never was a pitcher in this country who could excel old Jimmy Galvin in catching base runners napping," said Jack Orooka. "I remember seeing the old fellow catch the foxiest base runners in the country asleep off the bags with the quickest kind of a motion. There was one occasion when 'Gavie' played a star trick of this kind on Johnny Ward. The Pittsburgs were playing the New Yorks, and the score was very close, in favor of the former. The New Yorks had two men on bases, and Ward at the bat, with two out. Galvin signaled to George Miller to step to one side of the plate and deliberately gave four balls to Ward. Johnny trotted to first, and the next instant Galvin caught him napping, big Beckley blocking him off. It was a put up job, and old 'Gavie' didn't do a thing to Lawyer Ward but laugh at him all the way to the bench. It was a feather in the old man's cap, for Ward at that time was the star base runner of the League."—New York Sun.
