what a Correspondent Thinks OF
| she Matter.
| EDITORS HERALD-In the matter of the
location of the State Reformatory School
and the newspaper discussion attending
the same, permit me to say that 1 did
not attribute sordid motives to certain
gentlemen when they made efforts to
secure the st. Vincent property for city
hall, though they would have profited
greatly thereby by consequence of the
enhancement of the value of property
contiguous thereto, nor do I attribute
kindred motives to Hervey Lindley, of
the commission, because the said school
is to be at Whittier, the town laid out by
company in which he was interested.
The records show that Mr.. Lindley re-
fused to vote upon the selection and his
colleagues assert that he gave every
proposition fair and even consideration,
mingling his remarks thereon with praise
in behalf of no particular locality. OF
course, if all things were equal, why
should not the colleagues of Mr.. Lindley
vote as they did? And why is not Whit
tier the peer of any Of the points in
terested in the contest? Nay, more, why
is it not the superior?
Blessed by nature with all those
superb gifts 80 essential to health
blessed by the example and the influence
of community whose work in behalf of
mankind are as prodigious as they are
glorious. Situated beyond the busy
walk of trade, what else could be
desired to give most successful issue
to the proposition. Throughout the
ways and means of the earthly there is
no such.thing as absolute perfection. That
was decreed four Thousand years ago,
and has been maintained to this date
and will be maintained to the end, and
so there will be those to cavil at any
deed howsoever meritorious, as well as
will the best of humanity be the subj ects
thereof. Yours,

PARIS GREEN FOR CATERPILLARs
Give the "varmintso a Good bose
of 1t.

Give the ssVarmints', a Good Dose
of 1t.
Complaint is made that there are q
great many caterpillars playing havoc
with some of the gardens of the city and
surrounding country. These "varmints"
are often very troublesome in the South
ern States, where they devastate the cot
ton fields. Now away down South in
Dixie they treat the crawlers to liberal
dose of Paris green. 1t is common
sight to see many lusty negroes armed
with large sleeves, which they swing over
the delicate cotton plants, scattering
Paris green far and near. The little bel
lows used for blowing fly powder about
rooms would be a grand thing to use in
small gardens. Spray the plants lightly
with the Paris green, and the worms will
soon disappear. Paris green is poison,
and, of course, will not be used on
plants used for food of man or other ami
mails; but on flowers it is the very thing.
1t is possible that buhach, California
product, used an insecticide will do the
work, too. It has the merit Of being
harmless to the higher forms OF life,
while it "lays out" the insects.

HIS WELDING PRESENTS.
A Peculiar Case which is Being
Tried I'm Court.

N OhhG w HUI tb D6lhK
Tried I'm Court.
A peculiar case is on trial in Depart
ment Five of the Superior Court, before
Judge Shaw. 1t is a suit to recover
some wedding presents. Louis Roth was
married year ago last January to Min
ME Gerston. In accordance with the
custom prevailing on such occasions the
friends of the bride and groom and OF
their respective families came forward
with gifts, and the young people started
out in life with the usual allowance of
card receivers and butter dishes.
On the night of the wedding day Roth
was taken i'll with fistula on his leg.
He had gone to live at his father-in-law's
house, and when the old gentleman
found that Roth was occupying separ-
ate room from his wife his suspicious
were aroused. Three weeks passed,
during which Roth failed to get we'll
and then the father-in-law rose up and
drove him out of the house. He al
lowed Roth to have his trunk and cloth
ing, but nothing more.
Some time later, when Roth had quite
recovered, he rented a house with the
expectation that his wife would now
come and live with him; but she refused
to do anything of the kind, having come
to believe that he was not suitable
man for respectable woman to live
with. Roth produced the evidence of
several reputable physicians yesterday
to prove that his illness was not of the
sort that Gerston and his daughter imag-
ined.
Finding that there was no chance of
reconciliation, Roth determined to get
his share of the spoils which had oc-
Cured at the ceremony. He accord
ingly went to the house and
asked that the wedding presents, and
a bed-lounge of bis be delivered
to him. The girl met him at
the door and said that he must
arrange with her father about that. The
father gave him very short answer and
he left the house without the presents.
He then brought suit for their recovery.

POMONA'S PROGRESS.
The Fair FoothiiI city Needs More
CanueFies.


Pomona is well known far and near as
one of the finest districts in this whole
section. The country all about there ie
covered with fine orchards of various
sorts. Last year large establishment
was put up for canning and drying the
products of these orchards. The scheme
works WE'LL but the plant is not large
enough to take care of the great crop now
maturing in this charming spot.
Yesterday a committee, consist
ing of the Messrs. Phil Stein,
James Loney and w. M. Woody, repre-
senting the Pomona Board of Trade,
were in the city seeking to enlist capital
in the enterprise of enlarging the facili-
ties for taking care of the Pomona fruit
crop. 1t is to be hoped these gentlemen
will succeed in their laudable efforts.
The fruit of that district has no superior
in the world, and the market for such
products, when properly handled, is the
world. 1t ought to be a good invest
ment that is thus offered.

OIL ON THE LAGUNA.
They Bore for water aud strike Oii
Instead.

Instead.
Most Californians are familiar with
Bret Harte's story in verse, entitled
Shows Flat" and with the account oi
the old Argonaut who had delved in vain
for the yellow treasures of the mine, and
at last in his old age ''struck it rich''
when he stopped digging for gold and
went to dig for water. A local episode
somewhat similar was reported in the
city yesterday. 1t is about like this !:
Some time ago Mr.. Barnett, who is in
terested in property near where the
northeast corner of the pueblo borders
on the Laguna ranch, got up q little
spool" to bore in that place and see
what might be found. Colonel r. 8.
Baker, who owns the Laguna, joined
in the scheme, as he does in all progress
sive propositions likely to benefit the
section. Others came in and q we'll
boring outfit was set to work in the hills
thereabouts. The place is near the
skeleton school house that stands on the
mesa in an unfinished state reminding the
passer-by of the phantom ship that used
to make the hair of sailors stand on end
when they saw the moonbeams shining
through her ribs. The work of sinking
the hole has been going on for some
time with little results more substantial
than the one of getting hole in the
ground. The hope of reaching flow
ing artesian we'll of water which had
been buoying up the spirits OF those
interested seemed to be doomed to end
in disappointment and is so doomed as
fact; for yesterday one of the men came
into the city in state of great excitement
and reported that they had struck oil.
Several barrels of the oleigenous fluid
had been raised to the light of day.. and
the appearances present the hope that
fine oil well is to be the result OF this
enterprise. Outside of the fact OF the
find there is every reason to expect oil
in that locality. 1t lies right in the range
of the oil belt in its trend down the coast.
The hills are just the same as those near
the Puente, near Whittier, and at the
Santa Ana caf1on. The geological forma-
tion is the very same as that in the best
oil-producing districts, and all signs
would warrant the expectation that oil
was to be found there. 1t is matter OF
no little importance to Los Angeles.
Should oil be found, as it is sure to be,
now or in the near future, in the very
edge of the pueblo, "you can bet your
life's there's going to be BOOM"

How large an enclosure have you? Are
they all confined in one yard? What do
you feed? How much and how often?

Poultry Raising by Women.

Poultry raising is not, by the mostcon-
servative of mortals, considered an ''un-
feminine" employment, and the woman
who takes it up need have no fear that
anyone will insinuate that she is out of
of woman's proper sphere. And further
more, poultry raising is one OF the few
money-making occupations where a wo-
mans work will bring just as much as a
mans when it is done just as well. The
woman who raises a pair OF fowls that
score away up into the nineties can get
just as big price for those birds as she
could if she were man. And the people
who buy eggs and fowls for table use do
not think of asking a woman who raises
market poultry and eggs to take less
than market price for them, just because
she is woman. Success to you, ladies,
as long as you see fit to follow the busi-
ness.-Fanny Field.

GO to DeLand and Lake Helen, Flor
ida, the Most Delightful Places
in the South.
WHY GO TO DELAND AND LAKE HELEN?

We reply, because they are not only two of the
most delightful places in Florida, but are uni
verSally conceded to be among the healthiest
places in the Union.
DeLand in Volusia county, is located on the j.
t. & K. W. Ry., about 100 miles south OF Jackson
vile, in one of the best orange growing sections
of the State. 1t occupies the middle of a large
plateau that is twenty miles long and five wide
originally covered with yellow pine forest and
dotted with small, clear lakes. The soil is well
suited to fruit and vegetable raising, and the or
ange plantations peculiarly thrifty; indeed
the town presents the appearance OF a great villa
situated in the midst of luxurious orange grove
Lake Helen is five miles from DeLand.
AS AN EDUCA TTONAL CENTRE,
DeLand offers rare inducements to parents who
desire the education of their children to be carried
forward while they are temporarily away from
their Northern homes, who are looking for
some good institution in which to place them per-
manently until their education is completed. De-
Land has an Academy, which is in reality Col
lege for both sexes inferior to nonein thecountry
in character, with experienced and successful edu-
Gators at it's head.
IMPRESSIONS OF DELAND.
My impressions of DeLand, on viewing it from
the balcony of the Parceland Hotel, was that it
of the prettiest cities in Florida. Ny con-
viction, as 1 viewed it from the balcony on the
third story of the University building, was that it
was without exception the prettiest in Florida.
Most Florida cities convey the impression under
bird s-eye view that, like Topsy, "they just
growed.' DeLand shows every Indication of hav-
ing been carefully planned, and developed in ac-
cOfuance WlCn precOncelVeu ueslgn. II is d CITY
OF ample spaces, with park-like stretches of the
original pine forest and a vast area of orange
grove within the city limits. The Parceand Hotel
has an orange grove on one side and an acre of
lofty, kissing pines on the other The Car
rOllton is on the Boulevard, almost in the geo.
graphical centre of the town. and the Putnam
House and the Floral Grove FL ote are in the very
midst of empowering orange trees. So it is with
private residences. Most OF them are either in the
midst of orange groves, are situated on one
side of the lot, with orange trees filing the remain

like a vast orange plantation with clustering
town in the centre, and houses dotted here and
there amid the verduous folage.-C. H. Jones, in
