FRUIT GROWERS' CONVENTION To Be One of the Most Important Gatherings Ever Held by the State Board of Horticulture. The coming State Fruit Growers' convention to be held in San Francisco December 4th to 7th, promises to be one of the best attended and most important gatherings ever held under the auspices of the State Board of Horticulture. Large numbers of letters have been received, all indicating great interest in the meeting and the necessity of thorough harmony among the growers, especially on matters concerning transportation and marketing. The principal topics of interest will be the securing of more rapid and cheaper means of transportation, the widening of the market for our fruit and fruit products, and the improvement of methods in growing, packing and preparing for market. California fruits, owing to their superior excellence, are now forcing their way to all parts of the world. But they are finding imitators in other sections, and close competition is to be feared unless we still maintain our superiority. How this is to be accomplished, and how with the steadily increasing output of fruit each year, we can still hold our markets and extend to new ones, are all matters that will come up for consideration in the convention. Hon. Ellwood Cooper of Santa Barbara will, in his annual address, draw attention to numerous matters for the consideration and action of the convention. Among other matters of interest before the convention will be addresses by William B. Gester, who was commissioned by the State Board of Horticulture to investigate and make special study of this subject in the East, on "The Marketing of California Fruit"; Hon. William H. Mills of San Francisco on "The Economies of Products, and Their Influence Upon Fruit Growing of the World." An address by Hon. Alden Anderson of Suisun, Speaker of the Assembly, on "The Necessity for an Improved Expedited Freight Service for Eastern Fruit Shipments," will be made, and the "Advantages of Co-operation" will be presented by Judge H. G. Bond, of display of fruit and fruit products, showing methods of curing and packing, together with improved machinery and appliances for curing, camping and packing, and methods of packing and marketing will be made, and altogether the convention will be one that no fruit grower or one who is at all interested in California's greatest productive industry can afford to miss. OFFICERS' SALARIES. The census returns giving the population of cities and counties of Southern California show that Orange county increased in population since 1890 from 13,598 to 19,696, almost 50 per cent. Santa Ana shows an increase from 3628 in 1890 to 4933 in 1900, almost 37 per cent. By this increase of population Orange county will pass from a county of the twenty-seventh class to a county of the twentieth class, thus making a material difference in the salaries of the county officers. The difference, as figured out by a man who had nothing else to do, is as follows: | County Clerk | $1300 | $350 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | District Attorney | 1500 | 2250 | | Sheriff | 3000 | 6000 | | Superintendent Schools | 1500 | 1800 | | Tax Collector | 1500 | 1600 | | Auditor | 1500 | 1000 | | Assessor | 1500 | 4250 | | Recorder | 2500 | 2250 | | Treasurer | 1200 | 2000 | In the present classification the County Clerk is allowed two deputies in addition to his salary of $1300, and the County Assessor is allowed field deputies in addition to his salary of $1500. Both these officers will have to furnish their own deputies out of their salaries. Both the Tax Collector and the Auditor are reduced from $1500 per annum to $1000 per annum. It is quite probable, however, that all these salaries will be adjusted at the meeting of the next State Legislature. SUITS OF ARMOR. The Last Battle In Which They Were Worn by European Soldiers. The last occasion, it is believed, on which suits of armor were worn in battle by European soldiers was in 1790. The incident, according to chroniclers of the Napoleonic wars, took place in that year, when a small French force steamed off a mucous membrane or inner lining of the nose, three lungs, stomach, bowels and organs. It is caused by a cold or severe session of colds irritating the delicate surfaces, and is promoted by scrofula taints in the blood. It is especially dangerous in persons having a predisposition to consumption. In these and all other cataracts Hood's Sarsaparilla so thoroughly renovates the blood and stores strength that it permanently curbs its disease, and peculiar merit of remedy. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most common sense treatment for cataracts. Hood's Sarsaparilla Promises to cure and keeps the promise. No substitute for Hood's acts; Hood's—be sure to get Hood's. New Steamer Service The new steamer service now in operation will make changes all along the coast. Instead of the steamers making a trip in eight days they will run weekly trips. Through steamers will sail from San Francisco for Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego; the Santa Rosa every Sunday morning; and the Queen every Wednesday morning, will arrive at Santa Barbara on Monday and Thursday about 6 o'clock in the morning. They lie there couple of hours and then leave for Los Angeles, arriving early enough passengers to leave for Los Angeles the 12:30 train, which has changed to make steamer connection. Steamers will arrive at Redondo afternoon, and leave for San Francisco every Tuesday and Friday at 6 p.m. This will shorten the time between ports and San Francisco very materially. Northbound, the steamers will by William B. Gester, who was commissioned by the State Board of Horticulture to investigate and make special study of this subject in the East, on "The Marketing of California Fruit"; Hon. William H. Mills of San Francisco on "The Economies of Products, and Their Influence Upon Fruit Growing of the World." An address by Hon. Alden Anderson of Suisun, Speaker of the Assembly, on "The Necessity for an Improved Expedited Freight Service for Eastern Fruit Shipments," will be made, and the "Advantages of Co-operation" will be presented by Judge H. G. Bond, of San Jose, President of the California Cured Fruit association. Judge Bond has brought to a successful issue one of the largest co-operative institutions in California, controlling, as it does, over 90 per cent of the dried fruit crop of the State, and understands in all its details the subject with which he is to deal. This subject will also be treated by A. H. Naftzger, President and General Manager of the Southern California Fruit exchange, the oldest and most successful co-operative system in the State, and one which has saved the orange grower from ruinous competition and made the business profitable. Col. H. Weinstock of Sacramento, President and General Manager of the California Growers' and Shippers' association, will make a report on the season's operations and the lessons to be deduced therefrom. George C. Roeding of Fresno, who has devoted much time and study to the fertilization of the Smyrna fig, which has at last been successfully accomplished, will deliver an address upon this subject. Mr. Roeding will make a report to the convention covering all that has been accomplished by Prof. W. T. Swingle, Special Agent of the Department of Agriculture to Smyrna, to secure and introduce the fig wasp, and that of his own efforts in the past two years of their joint labors. This is one of the most important works ever undertaken in California, and its success opens a new source of revenue to our fruit growers. The "Raisin Industry," giving a review of the season's output and the advantages of co-operation among the farmers as illustrated by the raisin industry, will be presented by T. C. White, Treasurer of the California Raisin Growers' association. The canning industry will be especially considered in an able address entitled "Orchard to Table from a Canner's Standpoint." Isador Jacobs, Manager of the California Canners' Co., will present a paper on "Future Trade Possibilities in Canned and Dried Fruits." The necessity and advantage of resistant stock in the vineyard, and the best methods of securing it, will be dealt with by Prof. Bioletti of the University of California and John Markley of Geyserville, Sonoma county. One of the most important measures to be considered in the convention will be a national horticultural quarantine bill. In view of the fact that we are threatened with pests from all parts of the world, and that, in spite of California's efforts in this matter, there is SUITS OF ARMOR. The Last Battle In Which They Were Worn by European Soldiers. The last occasion, it is believed, on which suits of armor were worn in battle by European soldiers was in 1790. The incident, according to chroniclers of the Napoleonic wars, took place in that year, when a small French force was holding the little fort at Aquilla in the Abruzzul against a rising of the hostile peasantry of the district. The French were not strong enough to fight their way through the lines of their opponents, who outnumbered them 20 to 1, while, as the latter had no guns, the Frenchmen could hold their position with confidence. There were, however, left on the space lying between the opposing forces some dozen or so guns which the beleaguered had not been able to take with them into the fort. An attempt was made by the besiegers to remove these guns by means of a long rope worked by a capstan placed in a house a short distance away, and though their first endeavors resulted in failure, the French realized that the ultimate capture of the ordnance would seriously jeopardize the chances of the fort holding out. The necessity of spiking the guns was apparent, but a sortie in the face of the overwhelming musketry fire of the insurgents was out of the question. At this juncture an idea occurred to an artillery officer. He remembered having noticed, in making an inspection of the magazine, some old plate armer, and selecting from the best preserved 12 suits, he determined to try whether they would not afford sufficient protection for his men to attempt to work under cover of their own guns. Twelve stalwarts, therefore, marched out clad in this cumbrous, unaccustomed accouterment, taking with them the necessary tools, and succeeded in executing their purpose under a hall of bullets from the besiegers.

There was a love lit smile upon her pretty face when hubby came home from the office other evening. “What is it, dear?” he asked, observing the glow of enthusiasm that shone through the soft, peach blown cheeks and sparkled in the Kohinoor-like eyes. “I made 13 cents today,” said she, and her rosebud lips parted in a prideful curve. “That so, dear? How did that happen?” “Why, I sold 9 cents’ worth of rags—and 3 cents’ worth of bottles—and let me see”— “Yes, that's 12 cents. Where does the other cent come in?” Linguistic Oddities.

One of the most important measures to be considered in the convention will be a national horticultural quarantine bill. In view of the fact that we are threatened with pests from all parts of the world, and that, in spite of California's efforts in this matter, there is still danger from open ports in other seaboard States, it will be seen that this is a matter of prime importance. The railroads running into this State from Mexico have seconded our efforts to keep out the dreaded Morellos orange worm, but there is still danger while infested fruit and trees can be brought into the country from Mexico and all other infested districts. This matter will be pushed vigorously before the convention, in order that a suitable bill may be passed at the next session of Congress. During the convention addresses will be delivered by Prof. David Starr Jordan, President of the Stanford University, and Prof. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, President of the University of California, on subjects germane to the occasion. The committee having the matter in charge have been unsparing in their efforts to make this the most successful convention ever held. No pains have been spared for the comfort and convenience of visiting members. Arrangements have been made with the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads for special rates to the convention. Parties desiring to visit San Francisco over the Santa Fe road will pay full fare to the ticket agent at the starting point, and receive from him a certificate, which, when signed by the Secretary of the convention, will entitle the holder to a return ticket at one-third regular rates. Those desiring to come over the Southern Pacific can secure blanks by addressing B. M. Lelong, Secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, Sacramento, or B. N. Rowley, Chairman Committee of Arrangements, 320 Sansome street, San Francisco, which, when properly filled out and signed, will entitle them to return tickets at one-third regular rates. During their stay various sources of amusement will be provided. A fine pretty face when hubby came home from the office the other evening.

And she looked sorely grieved when he smiled audibly. It was really their first misunderstanding...Detroit Free Press. Attached to the Bakery. A plausible tale of a man who bought a loaf of bread and took away more property than he paid for is told by the Pawtucket correspondent of the Providence Telegram. The man was in a hurry to catch a car. His impatience made the clerk nervous. She forgot to snap the string which bound the paper about the loaf, and away sped the man with the loaf, while the string reeled off behind him. He caught the car all right; and, although the conductor and some of the passengers noticed as he sat down close to the door that the twine paid itself out as the car rolled along, the man did not discover the tangle until he alighted. In the meantime the conductor was having a good time. As passengers stepped on the platform he cautioned them not to walk on that string, and they did not. It might have looked mysterious to the people who saw the string moving along the street, for the unraveling continued until the bakery twine bobbin had been nearly emptied by the connected loaf a mile away. The man with the bread felt a tug at his loaf as he stepped down from the car. Then he followed up the cord, winding as he went. He was one of those strictly honest men who want nothing that does not belong to them, and the best part of the story is that he followed the string back, winding as he walked, and in due time entered the bakery and restored the ball of twine. One Was Enough. That illustrious astronomer, Professor Simon Newcomb, in an article "Science and the Government" in North American Review, gives amusing instance of the ignorance of the most prominent politicians garding the work of the greatest tists: "It is said that some 50 years ago British academy had printed a few leses of an important work for prevention to some foreigners who, from prominence in the scientific world best entitled to be honored with gift.

During the Garfield campaign I was sitting one day in his simple office at Oshkosh when a gentleman, then unknown, but now occupying a prominent position in public affairs, appeared with a letter of introduction from Marshall Jewell of Connecticut, chairman of the Republican national committee, who stated that the bearer had been instructed to visit Wisconsin for the purpose of making a report upon the political situation and the prospects of the Republican ticket. This pricked the old man's pride. He resented, in his good natured way, the invasion of his territory, and I noticed that his face flushed as he read the letter. After looking out of the window for a few moments he looked at his watch, handed back the letter of introduction to his surprised visitor and remarked with deliberation: "There's a train leaving here at 5 o'clock that will get you into New York day after tomorrow morning, I'll send up one of my boys to see that you get aboard. When you get to New York, you tell Jewell that old Sawyer read that letter and said there was nothing for you to report on.

Six years ago my stomach and heart troubled me so much I had to do something, as the doctors could not help me. I writes Mrs. S. A. Knapp, of San Jose, California, Box 392. "I went to San Francisco and had treatment for catarrh of the stomach and was better for some time, then it came back. I then used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets.' These medicines cured my stomach. I do not have the pain and indigestion as I did. It is very hard for me to tell you what I suffered before I commenced taking your valuable medicine.

A few years ago a well dressed man presented himself at a certain national bank and laid down a check for $3,000. It was signed by a well known wholesale whisky house, and upon the back were the words, "Identification waived."

In China there is no fixed nomenclature—even the country itself is without a name—and this lack of distinct and recognized appellations was a frequent source of difficulty. Of personal information from natives there was none obtainable on which any credence could be placed. A Chinaman, unless he be a porter cooly or a boatman, rarely travels or gets during his life more than a few miles in any direction from the place where he was born. When trying to procure information concerning the immediate locality, it was no uncommon thing to have a native, and even sometimes men of local position, say, “Oh, I have never been so far away as that,” or, “I have never been across that hill and so do not know what is beyond.”—Harper’s Weekly.

A carpenter in an English town having neglected to make a gibbet that had been ordered by the hangman on the ground that he had not been paid for the last one he had erected gave so much offense that the next time he went to the circuit he was sent to Swindling a Bank. A few years ago a well dressed man presented himself at a certain national bank and laid down a check for $3,000. It was signed by a well known wholesale whisky house, and upon the back were the words, “Identification waived.” At the same time a well dressed man entered the office of a live stock firm at the stockyards and asked if he could wait in the office, as he expected a telephone message. He was told that he could, and he took a seat near the telephone. Down in the bank the paying teller was asking who the holder of the cheek knew. He said not many firms, as he was a stock dealer, but if the teller would call up Mr. Smith of Jones & Smith, the well known brokers at the stockyards, he would find out that he was all right. The teller called for the number, and when the ring answered he asked for Smith. The man on the end said he was Smith, and he at once gave Brown, the holder, the amount of the check. When it was discovered that the cheek was a forgery, there was an awful kick, as Smith said Brown was as good as gold. Smith declared that he had talked to no one, and the result was an argument between Smith and the bank teller. No one knew about the accomplice answering the phone, and the result was that Smith took his account from the bank, and no one ever knew who it was who answered the telephone.—Cincinnati Enquirer. A Gift Not Appreciated. Two well known clubmen were strolling along Chestnut street the other afternoon when a young fellow of rather sporty attire stopped them and attempted to borrow $5. “I've got to have it tonight, and I'll give it back to you tomorrow,” he said. The man addressed looked dubious, and his friend, who was not acquainted with the would be borrower, moved away apparently to be out of earshot of the conversation. “I don't think I can lend you the money today,” said the clubman. “Come on, there's a good fellow,” coaxed the other. “You'll get it back tomorrow, sure.” “No; I won't lend it to you,” was the reply, “but I'll tell you what I will do. If you're so devilish hard up, I'll give you $.” “All right; give it to me,” was the unblushing rejoinder. “You've got it already,” said the clubman. “Do you remember the five you borrowed from me three months ago? Well, don't bother about paying that back. Nice day, isn't it? So long!" Then he rejoined his friend. In the last two years that fellow has borrowed $50 from me at various times,” he said.—Philadelphia Record. An Englishman's Manners.

Yet a certain Frenchman may not have been far wrong, after all, in saying that "the English would surely not frown so upon a man's mopping up sauce with a piece of bread if they themselves had ever bad any sauce worth mopping up." It may be that the Englishman's perfection of deportment at meals comes in part from a lack of temptation to do otherwise. But the truth is none the less apparent that the complicated conventions regarding what to do and what to avoid at table that obtain in England do not in any way involve that outward expressiveness which the Englishman abbors. He can obey them without prejudice to his impassivity. And this cult of impassiveness, of self repression, is essentially Spartan—that of the savage.-Scribner's. The Origin of Phoenix Park.

The manor was called in the Irish vernacular Fioun-uisege, pronounced Finniske, which signifies clear or fair water, and which, articulated in the brief English manner, exactly resembled the word phoenix. The spring or well so called from which the park derives its name still exists close to the Dublin entrance of the viceregal lodge. It is situated in a glen beside the lower lake and is one of the romantic objects of the park.-London News. Shopping In Scotland.

His nomination was not certified to by the County Clerk, and hence his name was not printed on the ballots. His supporters wrote in his name, and he was elected by two plurality. Going on the Stage. It is my honest conviction, based upon no little observation, that nine-quarters of the desire to go upon the stage proceeds from vanity—vanity pure and simple. What does the average young person know of the requirements of the stage, of the difficulties that beset it? Nothing. He visits the theaters and sees the handiwork of some clever dramatist presented by skilled actors with an ease which it seems absurd for the audience to aplaud. Of the natural aptitude, the long training, the nerve destroying rehearsals, the struggles and the heart-burnings he knows nothing, of course. He sees only that it must be a glorious thing to be in the glare of the footlights, with fine feathers and herole or humorous speeches, the observed of all observers, with the plaudits of the multitude ringing in his ears. It looks an easy, delightful way of earning a living, a fortune, and—like the child and the moon—he wants it! There is no royal road to success on the stage. It is an exacting profession. No man, no woman, reaches success without a great deal of hard work and many hard knocks at the unrelenting hands of experience—no dainty taskmaster. In a century there are perhaps but two exceptions to this rule—David Garrick and Mary Anderson—to both of whom success came with comparative ease—Francis Wilson in Collier's. Disease on Stair Rails. "I make it a rule never to touch a stair rail, especially in an office block or a public building," said a prominent physician of this city. "There is no doubt in my mind that many contagious diseases are communicated through them, and the theory certainly has common sense to back it. People who are in good health very seldom use the handrail in mounting a flight of stairs, but those who are sick or weak are quite apt to need its assistance. If they happen to have some contagious disease, especially some form of eczema, the next person who comes in contact with the rail stands an excellent chance of catching it. I have treated several people for skin disease in my private practice who first showed signs Changed by Circumstances. "Where's your watch?" asked the observant man. "Why, here it is," replied the man whose prosperity had slipped a cog or two recently. "But that's a silver one. The one you used to carry had a handsome gold case." "Well—er—circumstances alter cases, you know."—Philadelphia Press. Slow Work. "Maria, you let that young Bobster stay last night until 1 o'clock." "But, mamma, you told me I must give him time to propose." "But five hours!" "Why, mamma, you know he stutters."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little Son's Life. Mr. H. H. Black, the well-known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co., N. Y., says: "Our little son, five years old, has always been subject to croup, and so bad have the attacks been that we have feared many times that he would die. We have had the doctor and used many medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is now our sole reliance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucus and by giving frequent doses when the croup symptoms appear we have found that the dreaded croup is cured before it gets settled." There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and may be given as confidently to a babe as to an adult." Mining.

If they happen to have some contagious disease, especially some form of eczema, the next person who comes in contact with the rail stands an excellent chance of catching it. I have treated several people for skin disease in my private practice who first showed signs of the malady on the palms of their hands, and I am convinced that stair rails were the source of infection. "There is a historic example, by the way, of the readiness with which certain forms of eczema may be transferred through such an agency as I suggest. During the siege of Toulon, Napoleon, who was then a sublieutenant of artillery, is said to have snatched the swabbing rod from a clumsy gunner and helped serve the piece himself for several rounds. The gunner happened to have an unpleasant skin disease, and the sublieutenant was an emperor before he got rid of it."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Shopping In Scotland. It has been said that the Scottish dialect is peculiarly powerful in its use of vowels, and the following dialogue between a shopman and a customer has been given as a specimen.
