EDITORIAL NOTES.

Neither invitation, ticket nor
badge was issued to the members of
the press by the managers of Mon
days regatta. This unusual neglect,
perhaps, will not prevent some in
terested in the affair from carping
at inaccuracies they may dis
cover in the published reports.
Notwithstanding our staff was thus
thrown upon personal resources to
get round in gathering information
of the various events of the day, we
are not ut all ashamed of the full
report given our readers yesterday,

degree, to embarr0ss the ends of
Justice Indeed the story of the
tragedy has been left partially untold
by this paper, to save the feelings of
respectable connections of the par
ticipants, and this is the first editor
ial utterance we have made in con-
nection with the deplorable affair.
The advertiser, in its leading
article this morning, scolds those
citizens who were conspicuous by
their absence from His Majesty's
reception. 1t goes to the length of
advising the King to rctaliate by
ostracizing the delinquents in future
Palace hospitalities. The article is
calculated to aggravate whatever
estrangement may have had to do
with the absenteeism referred to.
Better advice to His Majesty would
have been for him to diligently
seek for the cause of large
proportion of leading citizens neg
lecting the usual paying of court on
his birthday, and be so guided by
the results of investigation as to
make similar slight in the future
disgraceful. While believing that it
is impolitic to visit disaffection to-
ward the present administration
upon the Sovereign, we regard the
article in the 1dCertiSer, which was
doubtless suggested in the interests
of the Ministry, to be much more
serious indignity toward His Ma
iesty than even the Withholding of Il
birthday compliment, as it tries to
blind him to the fact that so far rs
there has been slight it must have
been intended for their correction
rather than his.

Mrs. Leavitt may accomplish some

greatest drinking towns in Christen-

the work of reformation is to be

People are wondering what the
Sdtnra0y Press meant in its lecture
to its contemporaries upon undue
comment upon the late tragedy. The
only Objectionable editorial comment
we have seen in the Iuatter was the
above-nmned papers attempt to
make Mr.. Gibson responsible for the
lynching demonstrations which he so
maufully checked. There has not
been line of comment in any edi-
torial utterance that we have seen
which was calculated, in the least

Its Vass Extent.

Nearly all schoolboys are familiar
with the fine passage from speech by
Daniel Webster in which he alluded TO
the territorial extent of Great Britain's
possessions. He spoke of the morning
drum-beat keeping company with the
hours and saluting the flag Of Great
Britain as the sun journeyed around
the earth. Sir Richard Temple, at the
scientific meeting at Montreal, read a
paper on the vast extent of the English
power. One fifth of the habitable
globe was under the sway of Queen
Victoria. Her subjects number 315,-
100000, and Australia and Canada
have room for two hundred million
more. The annual revenue of the enl-
pire amounts to sl,0lS,0O0,000. Local
taxes swell this sum S305, 900, ,00C
more. so that the entire cost of gov.
ernmcnt is about $3.50 per capita an
nually. These are impressive figures
but our own country IS rapidly over
taking Great Britain in wealth ant
population. Our relative increase i:
much greater. in the pregnant words
of Prime Minister Gladstone, "the Uni
ted States arc passing England at ;

"Patent Bricks" in Place Of Wood
md Coal.


The United States commercial agent
at Nantes says that the coal dust,
which was formerly rejected as worth
less, is now consumed in immense
quantities in France in the form of
"patent fuel" or coal brick. The
natural supply of dust from the yards
OF the coal merchants being entirely in
sufficient for the needs of the brick
works, the manufacturers, particularly
in the Nantes district, import large
quantity of coal dust from Cardiff.
Swansea and Newport. The process
of manufacture is very simple. The
coal dust is mixed with pitch and the
mixture poured into cups attached to
belt each cup containing just enough
material for brick of the size desired
The bet in its movement passes this
material through chamber, where it
is exposed to steam, which fuses the
two substances into homogeneous
mass. This is poured by the descent of
the belt into molds, where it is subiec..-
ed to an enormous pressure by a
hydraulic press, or by machinery set in
motion by steam engine. The brick
is square in form, its thickness being
about one-third ofits other dimensions,
and its weight five, ten, or fifteen
pounds. Certain of the French railway
companies refuse to accept fuel unless
at least 10 per cent of pitch has been
used for its agglomeration. 1t is stated
that briquet are preferable to ordinary
coal for expectation to the colonies and
to warm climates on account of their
compact storage and freedom from
small fragments and Gust, and also for
use on locomotives, both on account of
economy and space and because tiremen
can always determine the amount of
fuel they are employing in given
time, the weight of each brick being
exactly known. The manufacturers
claim that the patent fuel" is more
healthy for domestic use than ordinary
coal, citing in support of this theory
the declaration Of certain well-known
physicians. AT the present day num-
Der of bricks are made fer domestic use
of small size and perforated with circu-
lar or longitudinal openings-Jour1aal

Industry and Intelligence,

An Industrious man will naturally
be an intelligent one. He will become
deeply interested in all subjects, read
all available matter pertaining to his
occupation, and by observing how the
experience of others comedies with his
own, enlarge his views, become en-.
couraged in his labors, and using the
brains and strength God has given him,
will in the end be successful.
See what the exercise of intelligence
and industry have done in our own
land. One short century ago the
country was covered with vast forests
and inhabited by wild men and animals.
Now, mark the contrast; our large
densely populated cities, excellent sys-
tenn of laws for protection of their
inhabitants, the network of railways
over the continent, numberless large
factories and many institu ions of re-
ligicn and learning of which we are
Justly proud. What Las made this
change? The industry and intelligence
of working men. 10 be sure nothing
is impossible to him who wills, cannot
apply to all. Subordinate places are to
be filled, and if men of humble abilities
become discontented through the in.
fluenue of this high pressure system.
the misapplication of it naturally be-
comes matter of lasting regret.
Let us all try to be somebody. but let
that somebody be just what nature in
tended us to be. Someone hss said, the
mos. valuable lesson one learns is, "to
do what ought to be done. when it
ought to be done whether he likes it or
not" Certainly this is most beneficial
advice. Following it will ameliorate
the ills of our present condition and
lead to self. .idvaneement>-St. Louis

The Skeleton in Most Closets.

Few hous have as many closets as
the ladies like, yet, in Difference to the
known fact that they will always try
to induce their husbands to take a
house with seven closets in preference
to one with six, they usually have more
than the landlord likes.
Closets are not always innocent
from sanitary point of view. Many
things which it would be disagreeable
to have in bedroom are packed away
in the closet; the housekeeper forgets
all about them for months. and they
are often treasures of moth and moll
The closet reserved for the soiled linen
of the family is the worst one. Dr..
BENJAMIN Richardson has very truly
said that people which was really
civilized would have thoroughly ven
tilated room set apart for the entire
family to undress in, where the clothes
could be hung upon rods and thorough
ly purified by draughts of cold air
during the night. From these re
marks the conclusion may be drawn
that closets in which clothes are kept
ought to be ventilated.

GAMBLERS SuperstitionS.

A correspondent of the Boston
Traceller says; A friend of mine. who
years ago used to travel up and down
the Mississippi river. said to me re-
Gently: II have watched gambling on
the Mississippi river steamboats, night
after night, and have had pretty
fair chance of observing some of the
superstitions of the old-tlme gamblers.
For instance. they do not believe there
is any great luck in any of tho precious
stones excepting diamonds. If you
have noticed the professional gambler,
even of these days, you will see that
he usually wears no other ornament
except diamonds. 1 don't believe that
you could hire a gambler to wear q
sun OPAL Opals Of all kinds are sup
posed to bring bad luck, but a sun
opal, in gamblers estimation, brings
the worst luck of all. l have yet to
see gambler with nerve enough to
sit down to a game wearing sun
opal. Another thing, your profession
al gambler will never allow you to
touch his chair when he is playing. In
old times, when the stakes were high
on the river boats, many a bloody
quarrel has grown out of an infrac-
tion of this unwritten law. Usually a
gambler will at once leave the game,
and if he returns he will not play for
large stakes. Now l will give you
one more, which is perhaps the most
universal rule among gamblers even
to this day. At midnight the old
timer will arise from the hoard and
partake of light lunch and perhaps a
little wine. When he resumes his
seat you will observe that he has
changed his hat. That is an unvary-
ing rule. To sit through game with
the same hat on in the gamblers max
inns is considered a little less foolish
than giving his money away. Do all
of the gamblers Of today keep up the
same superstitions? Some Of them do,
though they have no need to. There
are very few games nowadays where
a man is not certain to lose all he has
if the gambler only wishes to take it.
Within the past fifteen years I have
not seen game where cheating, more
or less adroit, was not INDUCED in to
trap the unWary."

Hidden Treasure.

Juan Romero, an Indian upward of
sixty years of age, now living in the up
per part of Napa Valley. Cal, is a mem-
Der OF one of the many tribes of abort
gines that in his boyhood days called
that valley their home. AT that date
many of the Indians were in the ser
vice of and were cared for by the
Spanish padres. Romero says gold
mine had been found and opened under
direction of the priests in the range of
hills bordering Napa Valley on the
east. 1t was about 1926 that the Mexi-
can authorities, becoming aware that
the missions in California had acquired
q vast amount of property, decided to
tax each and all of them. Not salts
fed with this slow process of acquiring
the wealth they 50 much coveted, they
afterward confscated the mission
property by the wholesale. While the
Indians were toiling in the gold mines
on the Napa hillside news came that
the Mexicans were on their way to the
valley. Romero was then five or six
years of age, chore boy at the mine
He says that upon receipt of the news
work was Immediately stopped, the
mouth of the drift blocked up and
every indication of the existence of a
mine destroyed, in ord,r that the
Mexicans should never find the source
of the coveted treasure.
The secret of the exact location of
the mine has been well kept. The
Indian miners, frightened away by the
Mexicans, left for other localities.
They have long since passed away to
their happy huntinggrounds. Romero
has lived in the valley all the interven-
ing years, much of his time having
been spent in the service Of the whites,
who long ago came into possession of
the lands and homes of his forefathers.
On the Napa hillsides undiscovered
mineral wealth awaits the fortunate
prospector. Coal has been found in
everal places, silver here and there
and traces of gold in the beds of brooks
that head in the mountains. What
the Indian afllrms may yet be proven
to be fact.

What Is the truth to believe,
What is the right to be done,
Caught in the webs weave
! halt from sun to sun.
The bright wind flows along,
Calm natures streaming Inv,
And its stroke is soft and strong
As a leopard's velvet paw.
Free Of the doubling mind,
Full of the olden power,
Are the tree, and the bee, and tho wind,
And the wren and the brave may flower.
Man was the last to appear,
A glow at the close Of day,
Slow clambering now in fear
Ho sropes his slackened way.
All tho up-thrust is gone,
Force that came from old,
Up through the fish and the swan,
And the SEQ kings mighty mold.
The youth OF the world is fled,
There are omens in the sky,
Spheres that are chilled and dead,
And the close Of an age is nigh.
The time is too short to grieve,
Or to chose, for The end is one;
And what is the truth to believe,
And what is the right to be done!

SOledud Canyon.

The soledad Canyon is truly a long
canyon, being about twenty-eight miles
long, bordered on the south by the San
Fernando mountains and on the north by
the Sierra Pelone. Through its entire
length runs the track of the s. p. r. X. The
climate can now hardly be surpassed in Los
Angeles county, owing to the high altitude
the air is dry, and affords quick relief to
sufferers from asthma who visit here. The
lowest altitude of the canyon is 1900 feet
above the sea level. Into the Soledad
Canyon open numerous other canyons,
which are much larger and contain much
more farming land than the mouths indicate
as one rides quickly past in the cars, and in
many one are the homes OF industrious
and happy settlers. AT Lang Station, in the
orchard owned by the party after whom the
station Is named, peaches are raised that
are pronounced by connoissurs as of such
an excellent quality that II is doubtful
whether they can be excelled by any other
portion of Los Angeles county. During the
past year settlers have been coming into this
canyon and its numerous branches in large
numbers, and ere long, where formerly the

Bix Jubilee AT Riverside.

On Tuesday the people of Riverside had a
grand jollihcation over the settlement Of
their water question. For two years past
there has been II conflict between the water
company and the people that has been very
serious and has deprecated the value OF
property In that modern Garden of Eden to
an extent that was becoming serious. Dur
ing these two years negotiations had been
pending between the contending forces fol
the sale OF the canals and water rights to the
people and several suits have been com
menced, one Of which is now pending before
the Supreme Court.
ON the return of l.. NJ. Holt, editor Of the
Press and HOrticuiturfst, from the east a
month ago, he commenced work to bring
about n settlement OF the question. Last
week his efforts resulted in sale of the
canals by the water company, the people be
ing the purchasers. ON Tuesday the people
met to ratify the contract. All business was
suspended; stores were closed, and schools
took IA vacation. The brass band was out
the United States flags were flung to the
breeze and anyils were fired. The citizens
turned out en- masse and filled the Citrus
Fair Pavilion. Speeches were made and
the contract was unanimously ratified. Sew
ernl real estate sales were made at old time
prices and everybody Is happy again. We
congratulate the orange grove settlement
