was dressed in simple white with satin
rosettes. The wound made by the assassin's
bullet was covered with white CLOTH The
hands were clasped over her breast. The
hair was neatly dressed, and the appear
ance of the child was such that no one
could doubt her innocence and purity.
Two express wagons were necessary to
carry the floral tributes. Many of the de-
signs were original and artistic, and the
display in this respect was really remark
able. Tenth street in front of st. Josephs
Church was crowded. The sidewalks and
basalt block pavement were packed with
people. There were 100 women there to
every man. The church was SO crowded
that few of those who came from the
house could gain admittance.
The children in the class of Miss Nellie
Armstrong, to which Mamie Kelly be-
longed, attended the funeral in body.
The police had no easy time to preserve Or
der. Not single man attempted to enter
the church. The sidewalk opposite the
building was crowded with men, but it ap-
peared to be generally understood that
women only should be allowed to enter the
building.
High mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
P. Seaman. The subject of the sermon was
the desire of the relatives and friends of the
deceased for the prayers of the congrega-
ton for the soul of the dead child.
After the celebration of the mass the
casket was carried out and the procession
wendell its way to Calvary Cemetery. There
was no demonstration further than the grief
shown by the hundreds who attended the
funeral

EIection Results.

OF the missing counties from the re-
ports of official canvass and deelara-
tons of votes at the election, Alpine,
by reason of remoteness, has been one
of the last to come to hand. The
following dispatch, giving the official count,
was received by the REcoRD-UNIoN last
evening. Although few in number, it rep
resents the full tally of votes cast in Alpine
county:
MARKLEEvILLE, November 18th. = The
official vote of Alpine county is as follows ::
Swift 50, Bartlett %, Waterman SO, Tarpey
26. Moore So, Hendricks 26, Denny So,
Dunn 26, Neff So, Herold &c, Hart IS, John
son 26, Reichert SO, Miller g. Orr 58,
Spencer 26, Hoitt SO, Moulder 26, Vandever
S. Lynch g. Abbott y, Filcher 26, More
house So, Randall So, Patterson 50, Nc
Farland 63, Sullivan 49, Waters &c, Hamil
ton 5S, Temple 26.
A dispatch from Eureka states that it
will be impossible to send official or the
exact vote of Humboldt county until
counted by the Board of Supervisors to-
day.
The returns thus far received from
counties where the vote has been officially
declared, and unofficial statements from
the remainder, makes it practically GER
tainty that the following have been elected
upon the State ticket Bartlett DEM,
Governor; Waterman (Rep.), Lieutenant
Governor; Hendricks (Dem.) Secretary of
State; Dunn Dem.), Controller; Neff
(Rep.), Treasurer; Reichert (Rep.), Sur
veyor- General; Patterson (Rep.), McFar-
land (Rep.) and Temple DEM, Judges

still reasonable doubt" concerning the
other candidates, with probability that
Johnson (Dem.) has been elected Attorney
General, Moulder (Dem.) Superintendent of
Public instruction, and Spencer Dem.)

To-DAY's CONVENTION.

The Convention of fruit-growers, to be
held in this city to-day, is one of great i'm
portance 1t meets, fortunately, at time
when there is no need for hasty delibera-
ton. The season is favorable to extended
and full discussion, and calm and we'll
matured conclusions. The hiefquestion Of
Importance, we take it, will be the consider
alton OF the best methods of marketing our
fruits abroad. On this subject new light
has recently been thrown by investigation
at the East by citizen of Sacramento,
into the methods employed by the Med
Iterranean growers to land their fruits in
the Atlantic American markets, and there
dispose of them with certainty and profit
The system by them adopted is that of an
auction trade-sale, by catalogue, for first
and following choices. This method has
long been in vogue at the East, and has, in
practice, met all the theoretical objections
raised to it. 1t should have full, fair and
deliberate consideration by the Convention,
and be neither adopted nor rejected with
any haste. Fruit production in California
promises to be the chiefest of industries
in its path are at present but two
difficulties; these are embraced in
the questions of certain and quick
marketing, and the question of speedy and
low-rated transportation. The first once
secured, we believe the second will adjust
itself to the need without any friction or
delay. The disposition of the carriers has
been, and is to foster fruit production as
far as is possible, without mourning more
than due share of risk. The one thing
TO do is to popularize our fruits at the
East, and to secure their early and broad
Introduction among the millions of con-
sumers on that side. This can only be
done, it is believed, by some new system of
marketing on arrival For the personal
consignment and commission plan, that of
the Mediterranean growers has been sug-
gested. Should the Convention determine
shat to be the better plan, it should not
hesitate to take the initial steps to intro
duce it. That done, the question of rapid
and cheap transportation, already in large
part settled, will be speedily determined
and secured. Certainly the interests of
producers and carriers in this, as in all
else, are mutual We look for especial
good results from this consultation to begin
to-day. The interchange of views and
testimonies must develop the truth Bust
ness men moved by common interest and
aetuated by living spirit of enterprise, do
not take counsel OF. each other without
benefiting. As they are profted so is the
State.

PLANT CHESTNUT TREEs.-We would sug-
gest to those who live in Shasta and
Tehama counties, that they set out some
chestnut trees, for there is no question that
they will thrive here and mature the finest
quality of fruit. There are few thrifty, two
year-old trees on Mr., Hays ranch few miles
west of town and on the south side of the
creek, that have made extraordinary growth
without cultivation, irrigation or attention
of any kind. Neither are they in a pro-
tected or extra good location-there are
thousands of acres in this vicinity that are
equally well adapted for the chestnut. Mr..
Ogburn, whose ranch is about fifteen miles
east of here, on Bear creek, sent us in
fine sample of the American variety last
week that we regard as superior quality.
We cannot speak with assurance as to what
variety would succeed best in our soils and
location, for there isn't sufficient data from
which to formulate a judgment, but were.
we planting grove for the nuts only we
should select the American or the Horse
varieties If we took into consideration
the element of ornament we should choose
the Spanish, for it is not only prolific
bearer, but soon develops into fine shade

How to Elevate the Stage.

There is most important lesson that the
A american public must learn if it would
seek to increase the moral tone of the stage
1t cannot be done by sermon. address or
essay, but by hard, practical example
When foreign actress arrives on our
shores depending upon the meretricious
aid of an indecent notoriety to secure her
large audiences, let press and public rigidly
ignore her. When we shall learn this all
important lesson, and demonstrate pub
licly that we have learned it, there will be
an end to such spectacles as that witnessed
during the past month. The argument
will at once be advanced by many in this
connection that we have no right to con-
slider the private life of an actor. Perhaps
not But likewise has an actor no right to
faunt his or her immoralities before the
public as a basis for public patronage
There are certain rights that the public en-
joys, and these every one, be he or she art
ist or artisan, is bound to respect. To decry
the impurity of the men and women of the
drama when we ourselves foster it by our
presence at the theaters where they per-
form is ridiculous. America can truth
fully boast and feel proud of its many ac-
tors who, by their moral purity and dra-
matte superiority, have lent beauty to dra-
matte art. Why, then, will so many sit
and worship at the feet of dramatic immo-
rality? The purity and elevation of the
stage is in the hands of the public itself,
and that class Of actors and performances
will be most successful to which we lend
our presence and patronage. = Brooklyn

RESULT OF EFFoRT.-Two counties in
northern California are making better
progress than any others. They are getting
more Immigrants, they are planting more
fruit trees, more capital is coming to them,
and business. One of these counties is
Placer and the other Shasta. What is the
reason for this progress? Are the lands
better, the climate more suitable for the
cultivation of fruits, is water more abund-
ant. is there more Government land. or
what is the reason? We attribute it solely
to the attempt those counties have made
to advertise themselves, and believe the
same results will follow in Butte when our
people take hold of advertising in good
earnest. Till that time we must be con-
tent TO ser our neighboFs flourish and pro-
gress while we are at a stand still Oropiiie

THE SAN FRANCISCO DEMONSTRATION.

The attempted riot in San Francisc
Saturday night proved anew the strength
of determined and cool resistance on the
part Of constituted authority. The people,
though sometimes moved to violence by
the heat of passion or the magnitude and
atroeiousness of crime, rarely lose sight of
the fact that the officers of the law who
oppose them are their officers, who recog-
nize no ruler other than the people them
selves in their calm moods, and are not the
representatives of ruling dass, The
demonstration can scarcely he called riot
at best, it was incipient; the threat of pos
sible rioting was an expression Of popular
disfayor of the laws delays, and which,
without question, is more tender of the
lives and liberties of those resting under
the charge of crime than of the right of
society TO be protected from the men who
prey upon it. But these spasmodic pro-
tests have frequently been entered without
producing any apparent reforms. What
ever should be done in the matter of max
ing punishment for crime more speedy and
certain, must be done by the people in
their representative capacity as lawmakers
If delays are to be avoided, the remedy for
them is at the command of the law-making
power Simplifcation of procedure will
contribute to this end. A distinguished
jurist of this city, writing in the Overland
1foathlg some time ago, expressed the be-
lief that the granting Of new trials might
be largely avoided by having the full case
sent up to the appellate Court, with direc-
sion 10 render the proper Judgment, in
stead of sending the case back to the Court
below upon single exception or error
found, for rectifcation. Other remedies
for the laws delays were suggested in that
monograph, and upon which we commented
at the time at some length. Certainly, the
popular belief that Goldeuson will not be
tried without wearisome delay, was the
moving cause of the demonstration in San
Francisco. II the public felt the assurance
that the cases OF prisoners would not out
live the witnesses and the public memory,
we would be in no danger from such riot
Gus threats. We believe that il is within
the reasonable powers of the Legislature
to institute reforms in this respect, and
that the need does not exist for constitu-
tional revolution to effect the desired end.

established here in the interest of the i'm
migration movement. The directors do not
oppose the end sought to be reached.
They object only to a special tax, no mat
ter how small. When asked how the sum
should be raised, they reply, Let the mer-
chants who are to be benefited contribute
it." Now here is gross misconception. The
truth is, the local immigration work has
mainly been supported by the business
men of Sacramento for three years. Many
of them have for all that time contributed
regular monthly sums. In addition, for the
late Citrus Fair they supplied the money
and the many prizes, and will do so for
that to be held in December. They are
regularly and constantly called upon to
contribute to various public enterprises,
charities, etc. And we venture the asser-
ton that no class of people anywhere are
more liberal. The disposition among these
business men is to cease giving entirely if
the people condemn the exhibition plan
They say that they are no more concerned
ing stocks of goods. That they support,
than citizens not keeping shops or not hav-
and will continue to support the Immigra-
ton Association, but that it is no more
than fair that the whole people should pro-
vide the sum needed to found and main
tain the permanent exhibition, since all
all the people are to be benefited, and that
by the special tax only can nonresident
property be brought to contribute
to work that is to benefit them. We re
port the situation precisely as ii is devel-
oped to US. There ought to be, must be no
contention about this matter. Given, the
location within the vicinity of Sacramento
in the next two or three years of several
hundreds or thousands of families, well-to-
do, industrious and occupying now I'M
titled lands. The result would be to in
crease consumption, enhance values, aug
ment trade. With these three things must
come stimulation of industries augmented
population, leSSened taration. That has
been the result in all the southern section.
Southern California has added 81, 900 peo-
pie to her population within the compass
of the last seven years more than half
that addition has been made within the
last three years, and it is all due to the in
vestments Of the people in advertising the
section, receiving home-seekers and locat-
ing them. The result has been to quad
ripple values and to make the southern
section maryelously prosperous, with
money plenty, workers of all kinds in de-
mand, taxation reduced, investments being
made with unprecedented liberality, and
general activity, life and prosperity mani
fest. We have better land, better
climate, greater possibilities, and more
stable foundation for a highly prosperous
section. We have been resting on our
oars for years. 1t is time now to pull to-
gether. The tide of immigration is setting
this way; Sacramento is already the dis
tributing point. Commercial and indus
trial centers are now to be irrevocably
fixed. 1t is simply question whether
we shall let slip our opportunity or en-
brace it-invest penny to win a pound,
or save the cent and lose the dollar

AN overgrown bruiser from the East
was permitted, for an admission fee, to
pummel another less favorably developed
bTuiser in San Francisco Saturday night,
until the weaker man fell bleeding, bruised
and senseless to the floor. And over this
heroic achievement few thousand people
yelled themselves hoarse and called it
sport So it was, of the same order as
that of the bull-ring and cockpit. For
this exhibition the city of San Francisco
granted license. The sum by which the
municipal treasury was thus enriched, it
must be assumed salved the hurt society
received by what was nothing less than a
brutal exhibition. 1t certainly did not
tend to better any man who witnessed it;
it certainly hardened the sensibilities Of
every spectator, and the accounts of it
r.ade in the mornings papers is calculated
to brutalize and debase.

PHOENIX, November 14th.-Last evening
three Mexicans rode up to C. P. Stanton's
store at Antelope. Two entered and began
firing at Stanton and man named Kelly,
who was present. The third Mexican
opened fire through window, and Stan
ton was instantly killed. Kelly returned
the fire, killing one Mexican. The other
two escaped, and are being pursued by Off
