LATE FRUIT SHIPMENTS.

Very soon the grape crop from the Santa
Cruz Mountain district will be ready for
shipping. There is a good demand for
these grapes of known excellence for ship
ping purposes, and brisk business during
their ripening season is anticipated Win
ter pears will follow the late grapes, and
then apples, so that the Union officers ex-
pect to be kept fairly busy with their work
until the middle weeks of November, at
least. Last season carload was sent east
ward on Thanksgiving Day.
General Manager Buck says he has great
hopes for future work He spent two
months in different Eastern cities this snm-
mer and learned much of value regarding
the demand for California's fruit, and the
high esteem in which it is held. At present
there are Union agents in New Orleans, ST.
Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis,
st. Paul, Chicago, New York and Boston.
These are distributing points for the region
in which they are located. New Orleans
and St Louis supply all the Southern
demand, and Chicago that OF the Middle
States. An agency between Chicago and
New York is needed, and next year il is
likely that one in Buffalo will be chosen.
From there all Western New YcTk. West
ern Pennsylvania, Northern Ohio and Cen
adian markets can be supplied "In another
year there will probably be large increase
in shipments" said Mr.. Buck, in telling of
the Union and its work. "Califoruia fruit
East appears now TO be a necessity instead
OF a luxury. Its consumption is largely on
the increase. Eastern fruit as a rule is not
to be compared with the Californian, and
Eastern fruit men have found that they a1e
obliged to put California fruit on their
stands to make them attractive, if for no
other Eeason. In both keeping qualities and
| appearan ces. our fruit is found to excel the
domestic product. For sending long dis
tances California fruit is chosen in prefer
ence to the other.''

The Distinguished Author to Read in

II is announced that George Washington
Cable, the distinguished author and maga-
zine writer, is to read from the best of his
own works in this city Saturday night. at
the Congregational Church. 1t is an event
that is to be the prologue to a series of lit
erary entertainments of this order and
lecture course, projected by several public
spirited citizens. The idea is to give
winter course, with sittings at such a low
price ss to barely cover the cost of main
tanning 1t. All above cost in securing Mr..
Cables entertainment will be turned into
the fund for the new idea "-one that
ought TO meet with complete success.
Perhaps there is no modern American
writer better known to popular reading
than Cable. His "Grandissimes "DrS
Sewer" Silent South, ""Old Creole Daysn
and POISON Joe" have made him famous.
Aside from these his vigorous, courageous
and brilliant papers in the Century N1qa-
z11le and the newspaper press of the day in
defence of the new South" have given
him worldwide and enviable reputation.

His style opened up new field in literature

THE COLUMBUS EXHIBIT.
The Sensation Made by the Fruits from
Sacramento.


Sacramento.
The immense crowds visiting the great
exposition at Columbus, O.. have had
chance to see some of the products of the
Sacramento valley, and splendid work has
been done there by the gentlemen sent on
with the display. The Ohio State Journal
of the 18th instant contains the following
The California exhibit at the City Hall
is one of the greatest attractions at the en-
canpment. About 10000 people visited
the exhibit Tuesday. and fully 10000 ex-
amined it yesterday. All the exhibit has
been received but the fruits, which were de-
layed by the blockade on the railroads.
Several cars laden with fruit from Sacra-
mento arrived yesterday and will be placed
to-day. Edwin K. Alsip, of Sacramento,
is in charge of the exhibit from that place,
which is furnished by the citizens. The
fruit will be given away after being exhib-
tied. The grapes, which have been picked
for ten days, are remarkably firm and
fresh, which is the character of the grapes
raised in that State. The specimens of
table, raisin ard wine grapes are very fine.
The model of the United States steamer
Charleston, built by the Union Iron Works
Of San Francisco, and recently launched. is
one OF the objects Of interest in the exhibit.
1t is the first iron ship launched on the Pa
citic coast, and is regarded as g proud
achievement by the Californians.
The State Board of Trade of California.
by which the exhibit is collected, has in its
Executive Committee representatives from
every rounty in the State, and has done
much to promote the interests of the State
and build up its extensive farm industries.

No! the man who holds the grape be-
tween his thumb and dexter finger and
squeezes or shoots the pulp into his throat
does not know how to enjoy the fruit and
is not likely to appreciate the good quail
tiles of fine grape. Let the berries fol-
low each other into the mouth in rapid
succession until three or four are taken,
while with each insertion the teeth are
brought together upon the seeds, without
breaking them. The acid of the pulp is
thus freed to mingle with the saccharine
Juice next the skin, and slight manipu-

A Warning.

The modes of deaths approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusiyely that
more persons die from diseases Of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable tha. everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by a slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed TO continue their ravages
they ext end 10 the lungs, producing con-
sumption, and to the head, causing
cstarrh. Now ell this is dangerous, and if
allowed to proceed will in time cause death.
AT the onset You must act with prompt
ness; allowing a cold to go without atten-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,
obtain bottle of Boscheeis German Syrup.

Chambers Spreading.

An Eastern Journal calls the attention of
its readers to the wide prevalence of CLAN
ders in the United States, and says that it
is appearing in new quarters every year.
Its virulence, its incurability, and the fact
that it is the most loathsome disease with
which live stock are afflicted, are in them
selves sufficient to make it thoroughly
dreaded by all who know anything of its
nature. And when there is added to this
its easy communicability to man, and its
unfailing fatality, the gravity of the situa-
tion is certainly sufficiently apparent.
Special cognizance of this disease must be
taken by veterinary authority, and that
soon, if the country is to be spared one of
the worst scourges it has ever had from any
malady affecting its farm stock.

SUCCESS OF THE UNION.


Already the Union has been in a finan-
clai condition to declare dividends. 1t has
returned to its several hundred stockholders
3 per cent. on the par value of their stock,
as well as six-tenths of the amount of all
sales made. Only two of its officers are
salaried, General Manager L. w. Buck and
Secretary H. A. Fairbauk. Results would
seem to show that their salaries are well ex-
pended.
Shipments Eastward this year began Nav
18th, and up to September 10th 621 car
loads of fruit had been shipped Of these
IA went to Chicago, rs to Boston, 65 TO st.
Paul and Minneapolis, 81 to New York, 80
to Omaha, % to Kansas City, 16 to New
Orleans, Il to st. Louis and 3 to Council
Bluffs. At New York, Boston and Chicago
only has the fluit been sold at auction.
This system has been found TO be the best
for disposing of the fruit promptly, and
usually with good returns. Shipments
during the first part of this fruit season
were nearly double those of the same
period OF last year, but during the past
month the demand has not been so great
and business has Stacked. This cessation
was due to several causes, among them be-
ing the heavy crops of pears and peaches
in the fruit-prOducing districts of the East,
the loss Of many fine table grapes here by a
few scorching days, and the very light crop
OF fall pears. AZ present a considerable
quantity of grapes from the Natoma vine
yards is being shipped. During the sea-
son the Vacaville producers have been
heavy shippers. That early fruit district
has been greatly benefited by the work of
the Union. Nearly fifty carloads have gone
East from San Jose, and Newcastle, San
Lorenzo, Nayhew's Sacramento county,,
Colfsx, Cordeia, Penryn, Marysville, Fres-
no, Sacramento, Winters, Woodland Sui
sun and Davisville have also contributed of
their horticultural products in carload con-
signments.

FRUITS OF CALIFORNIA.
Work of the Fruit Union-Its Influence
on Immigration.

Down on street. Sacramento, among
the commission merchants, is an office
about twelve feet square, where. during
the summer months, much work of perma-
nent value to California is carried on. 1t is
The headquarters of the California Fruit
Union. 1t is simply furnished-two desks,
six chairs, table, typewriter and a safe
comprise its equipment; yet III results in
which all Calitornians are interested this
plain little room can show more than many
ELABORATE establishments. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin of yesterday said OF the
success of the Union there is no doubt
For three years past this corporation, by
organization and good management, has
been distributing choice California fruits in
the East The work has created markets
where there were none, until the demand
has exceeded the supply. Many commu-
mites never saw the luscious Muscats, the
rosy Tokays, the golden peaches and tender
pears that this State excels in producing,
until q union auction IN a neighboring city
attracted local firms and brought them to
home fruit-stands.
Over seven hundred and fifty carloads of
fruit of all kinds were shipped overland
last season, and this year the shipments
will reach nearly that number. Organiza-
ton and cooperation have resulted in Sc
curing transportation concession that indi-
vidual shippers would have striven long to
gain. Nearly all the Fruit Union mem
bers and stockholders are producers. and it
is for these the Union has been fly
beneficial. In two ways has the plan been
OF advantage. The fruit has been sent
Eastward with such good management that
fair returns are assured, and the shipment
of several hundred carloads beyond the
borders of the State has had good effect
on the home market. Fruit-growers have
been encouraged and have seen in the work
one road around the feared over-produc-
ton obstacle TO the industry. Beyond all
estimate of dollars and cents is the immi-
grafton influence of the fruit abroad. Every
peach and pear, every grape cluster has
been testimonial of soil, sunshine and
climate of more value than hundreds of
pamphlets. The natural feeling is that
country with such productions is a good
one to go to, and it is safe to say that no
small part of the Westward movement of
population that is yet unchecked is due to
the convincing arguments sent from the
orchards and vineyards of the State
