Fighting the Fruit Pests.

The Grass Valley Union of Decem Der 21st
says 'E. Booth of Nevada City was in
town yesterday with petition addressed to
the Board of Supervisors, requesting the
appointment at its January session of a
Board of Horticultural Commissioners, as
provided for by law, III order that definite
measures may be taken TO exterminate or
check the ravages of fruit pests, such as the
Goblin moth, woolly aphis and black scale,
all OF which have begun to infect the Or
chards of the county and threaten the
total loss of the fruit crops if energetic
measures are not taken. The most danger
GUS of these pests is the black scale, COM
monty called the San Jose scale, which has
made its appearance in the county within
the present year and is increasing at rate
to give good cause for alarm to all who are
engaged in fruit culture as a business.
Those so engaged are willing to make en-
ergetic effort TO destroy the scale, but the
trouble is that those who may have a few
fruit trees in their gardens and house-iots
land these are many will not take the
necessary interest in fighting this formida-
bic pest. which, if not checked, will cause
the destruction of the fruit crop, until
finally the only effective way of extermin-
ating them will be the destruction of the
trees cutting them down and burning the
wood.
That is the difficulty everywhere. If all
would ioin and work together to common
end, the yermin pests which make such
havoc with fruit and vines could readily
be exterminated; but unless all do join in
the work, either voluntarily or under COM
pnlsion of strictly enforced law, the danger
and damage will continue, and render un-
profitable many lines of fruit industry
which would Otherwise prove highly re-
munerative. As yet Nevada county is not
cursed with the cottony cushion or white
fiuted scale. This is worse than all others
combined that have yet appeared in the
State, and should be closely watched for,
and fought with unrelenting effort the
moment it. appears, to make sure that il
| does not secure lasting foothold.-[ EDS.

The Terrible Manner In Which Captain
Holmes Lost His Life.
NEW OEaEANs, December 25th-A special
from PlaqueInine gives the following ac-
count of the death of Captain Holmes ::
The brave captain met a most awful death.
He remained at his post OF duty until every
chance to save the lives of his passengers
had gone. Then he attempted to swim to
the shore, but it happened to be boggy,
and he was seen TO make frantic en-
deavors TO extricate himself, but without
avail. The burning boat was fast nearing
him, and while he was on his knees in the
mud he put his hands up 10 protect his
lace from the intense heat. 1t was an awful
moment for those on shore, who were max
ing every endeayor to relieve him with
skitis and with ropes from the bank. One
man went out to him and placed box be-
tween him and the flames to protect him
from the increasing heat. He said
Never mind me, I'll be dead in few
minutes, anyway"
He was finally freed from his terrible
situation by tying rope around his body
and dragging him ON the shore. but it was
too late. He died about half an hour after
being rescued.
LOSS OF LIFE EXAGGERATED.
New ORLEANS. December 25,h.-Later
Information from the scene of the disaster
is to the effect that the loss of life has been
greatly exaggerated. 1t is now believed
that only five whites and sixteen colored
persons were lost.

A SOCIAL SCANDAL.
Stories Affecting the Private Life of a
High Government Official.

WASHINGTON, December 25th.-Very Sc
rious charges affecting General Bragg of
Alabama, who, after serving a short term
as a member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, was recently. nominated by
the President to NIL the long term men,
bership of six years, have been in circuia-
ton in Washington for some time, and
have been brought to the attention Of mem
bers of the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, to which his nomination was referred.
These charges do not concern General
Bragg's official integrity, which is above
reproaeh. They relate TO deplorable oe-
currences which have taken place at the
Arlington Hotel, where General Bragg re-
sides with his family, in which the re-
volver's click and knives and ardent spirits
have been too promiscuously blended.
1t is also charged that the distinguished
gentleman from Alabama has disgraced his
associates by carrying a revolver in his
pocket while sitting on the bench, and the
recent case of an unprovoked assault upon
an employe CT the Commission by son of
General Bragg, which was nearly attended
with fatal results. has not tended to result
to the advantage of tie father.

A GAsTRoNoMIo CHESTNUT.
The Quail-a-Day Act Performed by a
Chicago Woman.

Chicago Woman.
CHICAGO, December 25th.-Mrs. George
B. Titus, handsome little brunette, made
a wager with her husband, we'll known
jeweler of this city, last month that she
could eat thirty quails in thirty days for
5000 and diamond ring. The husband
was very confident that he had a sure
thing, and he and his friends have been
having considerable sport over the matter.
Mrs. Titus, however, has not been laugh
ing, but has been tending strictly to busi-
ness and eating quail. Yesterday was the
thirtieth day, and the lady had Just fin.
ished the last bird when a reporter called
at the house. Her little figure was neatly
attired in close-fitting black dress and two
pure white gems glistened in her ears as
she shook her head rather saucily and ex-
claimed in true feminine style Oh, l Just
feel too perfect for anything. L was not
sick once during the time was eating the
birds. In fact l was only once i'll in my
life, and that was when l had the measles"
How did you have the quails cooked ?''
Always broiled; [ never ate them any
other way? ?n
Any liquor to assist digestion ?"
"Oh my, no; l am opposed TO liquors o1
all kind. Alchohol eats up the peritoneum
| never touch liquor of any kind, not even
Apollinaris water. Just common, every.
day lake water, or tea and coffee, is good
enough for me"
In conclusion, Mrs. Titus said that she
had never tasted quail prior to thirty days
ago; that this fuss about eating quail was
all bosh, and that she could do it owes
again, starting tomorrow. The only thins
that troubles Mrs. Titus at present is what
she is to do with the 5000 her husband is tc
pay her tomorrow.

In Brief and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered livez
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one o.:
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people
nation OF dyspeptics.
Bat Greeas August Flower has done q
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people SO
! healthy that they eSn enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember: No ohappiness without health,
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your
