New industries in California.

The recent exhibition at the California State
Fair shows that her farmers are striking out in
every direction in agricultural industries, and
what is more important and gratifying, that her
soil is found adaptable to.all the products of tenn
perature and many of tropical climates. Quiet
ly hop and tobacco raising have been intro
duced with marked success, and dried and
canned fruit is now coming in for Its share of at
tention while economy in fruit raising has die
tated the use, for cider, of the immense amount
of refuse fruit not fit to ship, which has hitherto
been left to rot on the ground. This is another
new industry. New wine cellars are being built
all over the wine sections, and this business if
coming to be conducted upon more business

Harkness' advertisement that amounts to a
guarantee of value to the public. He will fit
students for any college and no pay will be due
him until an admission free from conditions is
secured. This guarantees the standard of
scholarship. Prof. Hardness, both in other
States and this, has fitted students for several
of our leading colleges. His position in busi-
ness and his large and able corps of assistants,
representing the alumni of some of the first
class colleges are sufficient guarantee. But
they even go farther than this and will contract
to take no pay until the student is admitted.
This places their instruction on its merits and
guarantees parents against sending their chill
dren to college when they will make better me-
chanics,

The ROBBINS CAsE.-In the Commissioners
Court yesterday morning a certificate was pre-
scented from DR.. I. A. Foster, the Jail physi-
clan, stating that the prisoner Charles L. Rob-
bins, was in his opinion, suffering from epilep-
tic insanity to the extent that his appearance
before the Commissioner would be extremely
dangerous.
The Deputy Marshal, Mr.. Wilson, also testi-
fed that Robbins had been acting very strange
ly. He would get down ON his hands and knees
apparently feeling about for something. He
had dashed his head against the wall inflicting
a severe wound on the skull, and had torn up
all his bed-clothing, and, by the advice of DR..
Foster, had been placed in padded cell. The
deputy marshal also stated it required the unit
ed strength of five men to pinion him and place
him in the cell.
The question then arose as to whether the
Commissioner attended by the counsel for the
government and Robbins, and accompanied by
the English Consul, should proceed to the jail
and there render the decision in Robbins pres
ence. Mr.. Strout, counsel for the government,
was of the opinion that Robbins present in
sanity was feigned, and, even if real, had no
bearing on the Annie B. case, or the evidence
given in the matter. Mr.. Bradbury desired
that at least days time might be taken to
see how the prisoner would appear at the end
of that time.
The Commissioner decided to adjourn the
court to o'clock to-day, at which time he shall
govern himself according to the best establish
ed authorities in like cases.
