As an evidence of increasing business in
our city, there has been received here, we
are told, three thousand more bales of cot
ton this year than there was received last
year. This fact in itself should be an
encouraging one to our merchants.
Facilities for transportion are now so much
better than ever before, that commercial
interests must look up, and with them our
merchants who now talk of discourage
ments.

A few years ago, says the London
Standard, the young people of England
became imbued with the roller skating
craze, and Kinks were built all over the
country, The fever however, was as
brief as any other vagaries of fashion; the
enthusiasm died away, the Kinks we're
deserted, the investors lost their money,
and roller skates disappeared in the land.

The trial of Moses Harris before the

ing speeches were made by Judge Kim
ball for the plaintiff, and Col William
Terry for the defense. In cross ezamin-
alton, some of the witnesses affirm that
they might believe Mr.. Harris on oath. In
this test ola mans veracity, which is really
the last extreme of belief, we can realize
why Diogenese had recourse to the bubble
of lantern to discover an honest man.

A Pioneer Of Pioneers.

San Franciscp Bulletin.
The owner and navigator of sloop
engaged in fishing on the bay is James
Peace, 81. ears of age, and a Cal fornIa
pioneer of the pioneers, having come
to tn coast in 1919. In 1917 he sailed
from England IN the ship Nereod,
bound for the Columbia river, in the
service of the Hudson Bay company.
She put into the bay of Monterey,
when he became implicated in mu-
tiny and was placed in irons. In April,
1918, the vessel cast her anchor in the
bay of San Franc SEQ, where he stole
away in one of the sh p's boats, and
made his way to the Miss on Dolores.
where the fathers furnished him with
blankets and a pony and directed him
to the camp of William Smith, on the
s te of Woodside, San Mateo county.
In this vicinity he cont nued to live for
sixtr-seven years. He was remarkably
skillful in the use of tools, and in
structed the natives of the Santa Clara
mission in their use. In 1910, with about
forty Americans, he was se.zed by the
Mexican authorities, placed in irons,
and sent to San Bias as pr sorer. He
was taken to Tepic, whele the charges
of being implicated in a conspiracy
against Mexico were found to be base
less and he returned to his home in the
redwoods At the close of the Mexican
war he settled on large tract of land
at Halfmoon bay. Here, in 1S49, he
hoisted the first American flag in Span
ishtown. This relic he still has in his
possession. In 1885 Peace married the
daughter of Pedro Valencia, and has
two sons living. In the course OF time
he lost his property. and in his old age
made use of his skill in constructing
sloop thirty feet in length, in which he
cruises the bay in quest of fish and

How to Stop 1t.

Our Dumb Animals.
Mamma, a dear little birdie is dead!
saw it upon your new hat;
I wondered, dear mamma, while big tears 1
shed,
Who could have been so cruel as that
AS TO kill the birdie, mamma, do say,
Did little ones die in their nests
Or from cold and fright did they pass away,
For want of their dear mothers breasts
l know, mamma dear, that the hat you'll not
wear,
1t will be sent back to the shop:
And mamma, do tell the folks everywhere,
Such bad, wicked things they must stop,
And mamma, May Perkins told me to-day,
A kittens head is on her hat!
1t most took my breath-but tried to say,
"What if she should meet the ma cat!"
Seems to me, mamma, there are pretty things
Enough to be found everywhere;
Why must they kitties' heads, brides and
wings
Like sign-boards of cruelty wear?
Mamma, if ladies such things would not buy,
And let them remain in the shop,
Would not the traders then have supply?
And would not the cruelty stop!

APPOINTMENTS.

The appointments of Mr.. Kerno-
chan to the Naval Office and Mr..
O'Brien rs Supervising Inspector,
following that Of Mr.. Fvarn TO q
foreign mission, all to existing va
cancies, must, to all fair minded
persons, irrespective of party, be
considered al earnest on part Of
Presi lent Cleveland, not only OF his
exercise of u wise discretion in
selections, and, in this regard, it
must be conceded, in consonance
with his appointments made from
citizens Of other States, but also Of
his desire to deal fairly by the PEG,
pie of Louisiana.
In the three Instances referred to
the fitness of the appointees Tor
their respective positions is strik
ingly apparent; and this, though in
each appointment the selection was
made outside of the strictly par
tizaM class. True, MS to Nj. Ker-
nOchan, he has taken somewhat Of
an active part in local politics, but
this arose from his personal inter
est M y citizen and planter to have
returned to Congress . gentleman
whom he considered most capable OF
securing protection to the material
inter est of the State.

induced others, like MIR. Minor and

sustain in their Congressional dis
trict, tho republican candidate.
Indeed, the appointment Of MIR

opposition to him by Senator Euslis
representing the MoEnerS wing

Hunt, independent as against the
regular democratic nominee, indi
