A large and fashionable audience

A large and fashionable audience
assembled in the Fort Street Meth
odist Episcopal church last night TO
listen to lecture on "Three Years
Amongst the Latter Day Saints,n
by President Stratton, of the Uni
versity of the Pacific. Mr.. STRAIT
ton is a winning and entertaining
talker and he commanded the un.
divided attention of his audience
to the last. The proceeds of the
lecture are devoted to Professor
Frambes's Academy-a most de-
serving institution.
In the case of the People vs.. Her
sey, on appeal, We believe, from
Colusa county, the Supreme Court
has just granted a new trial. The
jury had retired to deliberate on
their verdict, and then returned
into Court for further instructions.
One of the questions in the case
was whether the deceased, it being
a murder case, was on the defend
ants land. The further instruc-
tions the jury desired were in refer
ence to what constituted possession
Of land. The Judge, in the absence
Of the Photographic reporter of the
Court, and without asking
consent from prisoners counsel to
orally instruct the jury, made a
few remarks on the point alluded
to. A juror then asked whether
they should be guided by The writ
ten Instructions; and the Judge
told them they should be guided by
the written instructions alone. On
the return of the Photographic re.
porter, few minutes afterwards,
the Judge detailed TO him from
memory what he had said to the
jury. The Supreme Court decide
that it was error in the Judge to
thus address the jury without hav-
Ing his remarks either in writing
or taken down by the Photographic
and reversed the case on
that ground.

San Diego Colonies.

A new road is suggested from
Forster City to TemecuIa, in order
to secure cheaper freight rates. The
wharf at Forster City is to be con-
structed at once. The bean crops
In that settlement are looking very
we'll, aud considering the compar-
atively short time since tho settlers
arrived on the ground, they have
accomplished wonders. They are
full Of confidence in the future.
This colony is a success, and the
prospects are good for the western
part of our county. Mr.. Chestnut,
who has been agent at Forster,
represents a San Francisco party
who intends buying out Mr.. Wolf,
of Temecula, who has offered fa-
vorable terms, and change may
therefore occur in this old estab-
lished station. Young Pablo Soto
Is at the store in Forster, and Is
obliging and accommodating in
every way.
We learn that Mr.. Pujol has
leased the Temecula and Pauba
Ranches to Messrs. Graves & Bros,
ofSanta Clara county, who propose
to introduce a colony or colonies
upon those fine lands. The Messrs.
Graves will proceed Immediately
with this praiseworthy undertake
Ing, and, we are informed, with the
most certain assurances of success.
They will be on the ground in No
vember. The terms of lease are
said to be $1,000 and the payment of
taxes. The intention is to farm
the land, cultivating wheat and
corn. Mr.. ]. M. Gonzales will still
remain on the Temecula Ranch,
and intends building a fine resi-
dencc just this side of Murietta's
house, where he will fence fifty
acres and put the land under irriga.

me why the streets are not watered?
The dust now flying about the

unhealthy. The constant bitches
in the arrangements for waterin g

was awarded to parties who have
not the means to supply the neces-

larly, burned four hours each at the rate OF
an inch for each twenty minutes. Thus the
six candles lasted twenty-four hours.
1t is impossible to state, with accuracy, the
time when wheel-clocks were first invented,
and commenced to supersede the ancient time
keeper 1t is believed that the FIRST wheel
clock was made in the year $40. In the ninth
century clocks are said to have been made in
Geneva. However this may be, it seems tol-
erably certain that the trade of clock and
watch making in Switzerland is of considera-
BILE antiquity; and it has remained until now
as staple branch Of that country's manufac-
lures. In the year 1886; St. Paul's Cathedral,
London. had clock. Iron and steel were
used for the wheels and frames of clocks until
toward the end of the sixteenth century, and
the blacksmiths were, in early times, the
makers of them, as their materials required
heavy forging. 1twas formerly not uncom
mon in England for churches and market
houses to have an automatR to strike the
hours, the usual names for which was "Jacks
O. tn clock house"
The present clock at St. Paul's, London,
was erected in 170S, and is remarkable for its
magnitude. 1t has two dial.plates-south
and west-and each is between fifty and sixty
feet in circumference. The hour numerals
are little over two feet in height; the minute
hands are about eight or nine feet long and
weigh forty:four pounds each. The pendu-
lum is sixteen feet long, and its bob weighs
one hundred and eighty pounds; but it is
suspended by spring no thicker than five
cent piece. On still day the strike can be
heard at Windsor, twenty-five miles away. :
Portable clocks, that is, clocks in which
the handspring was substituted for weight,
were in use about the year 1905.

His honor coughed and demanded rather
severely:
"Do you, sir, as citizen of Nevada, and q
lawful voter of Reno, solemnly declare that
you will forsake all other evils and cleave
unto this?"
"I've money to bet on it." responded the
groom, growing pale and placing his arm

A FUNNY INTRODUCTION.

At recent political meeting at Elmira,
New York, Gen. Joseph R, Hawley, ex'Gov-
ernor of Connecticut, was one of the speak
ers, and was introduced to the assemblage by
Mark Twain Samuel L. Clemmens) in the
following style:
81 see I am advertised to introduce the
speaker of the evening, Gen. Hawley, of Con.
necticut, and I see it is the report that am
to make political speech. Now, 1 mustsay
this is an error. I wasn't constructed to
make stump speeches, and on that head (pol'
itics) l have only to say: First, see that you
vote. Second, see that your neighbor votes.
Lastly, see that yourself or neighbor don't
scratch the ticket General Hawley was
President of the Centennial Commission. He
was gallant soldier in the war He has
been Governor of Connecticut, member Of
Congress, and was President of the conven.
tion that nominated Abraham Lincoln"
Gen. Hawley-That nominated Grant.
Twain-"He says it was Grant, but know
better. He is member Of my church at
Hartford and the author of Beautiful Snow" !"
Maybe he will deny that. But l am only
here to give him character from his last
place. As pure citizen l respect him as a
personal friend of years, I have the warmest
regard for him; as neighbor whose yegeta-
BILE garden adjoins mine why-why, [ watch
him. That's nothing; we all do that with
any neighbor. Gen. Hawley keeps his prom
ises not only in private but in public. He is
an editor who believes what he writes in his
own paper As the author of Beautiful
Snow" he has added new pang to winter.
He is broad.souled, generous, noble, liberal,
alive to his moral and religious responsible
ties. Whenever the contribution. was
passed, never knew him to take out a cent.
He is square, true, honest man in politics,
and I must say he occupies a mighty lone
some position. He has never shirked duty
or backed down from any position taken in
public life He has been right every time,
and stood there. AS Governor, as Congress.
man, as soldier, as the head of the Centen-
NAL Commission, which increased our trade
in every port, and pushed American produc-
ton into all the known world, he has con.
ferred honor and credit upon the United
States. He is an American of Americans.
Would we had more such men! So broad,
so bountiful in his character, that he never
turned tramp empty handed from his door,
but always gave him letter of introduction
to me. His public trusts have been many,
and never in the slightest did he prove un-
faithful. Pure, honest, incorruptible, that is
Joe Hawley. Such a man in politics is like
a bottle of perfumery in a glue factory-it
may modify the stencil if it doesn't destroy
it. And now, in speaking thus highly Of the
speaker of the evening, | haven't said any
more of him than would of myself. Ladies
and gentlemen, this is Gen. Hawley."
Mr.. Clemens was frequently interrupted by
applause and laughter. At the close of his
remarks, Gen. Hawley stepped forward and,
for an hour and half, spoke on the issues Of
the day.
