when ] was appointed. said the post
master general. speaking slowly, Il was
impressed with the idea that penny post
age, as ii Is termed. was very desirable,
aud came into the department predispos'
ed 10 its favor. Ia fact, thought i,
ought to be established at once. But when
l learned Of the poor condition OF the ser
vice. one cent postage rcceded into the
dim distance. When l discovered that
there are many places in this country
which receive mail but once q week. and
that not always regularly, it seemed to me
that what was needed most by all concern
cd was frequent and regular service from
the postofiice department. Postage in thi,
country is as low as that OF any country in
the world, for penny postage in England
is really two cent postage 10 our money.

pie OF the sleeping car companies, not to
reduce the rate, but to improve the service.

STANFORD STATUE,
The Money is Ready and the Work win
Proceed.

Proceed.
The Stanford Monument Committee,
composed of sixty old leading citizens OF
San Jose, met on Tuesday evening at the
Hotel Vendome. Judge Spencer presided,
and in forcible speech suggested that to
the figures of Senator Stanford and son
heretofore proposed, there should be added
that of Mrs. Stanford, the co-donee in the
endowment of the Leland Stanford Jr.
University.
Speeches receiving the suggestion with
favor were made by Judge Reynolds, B. d.
Murphy, j. A. Clayton, DR.. Thorn, DIR.
Potts, Mitchell Phillips, G. NJ Shortridge,
S. F. Leib, d. R. Moody and others. Mr..
Murphy's declaration that the committee
would stand by its chairman and that the
building of the monument was a settled
fact, was heartily applauded and was reiter-
ated by many of the speakers.
Judge Spencer, the chairman, was au-
thorized to appoint an executive committee
and also committee on design and one to
obtain site from the city authorities. He
stated that he would make his appoint
ments and request them to begin work at
once. The question of the site and the
quality of the monument was informally
discussed, and sentiment seemed to favor q
colossal figure of Senator and Mrs. STAN
ford and son, carved in sandstone to be
set ID niche of the famous Alum Rock,
in the entrance TO Alum Rock canyon, with
bas relief of the Stanford University.
The meeting was IAN enthusiastic one
and enough men of wealth have given
their approval to secure the success of the
project, though it is intended to make the
testimonial the expression of as many peo-
pie as take an interest in it.
Letters expressing desire to cooperate
were read from L. A. Whitehurst of Gilroy,
William Buckley, Colonel Younger, John
Lyndon of Los Gatos, and others who
could not be present. Another meeting
will be held next Tuesday.

AGAIN AT THE SURFACE.
Sydney S. Landeshutt Turns Up Afte,
Many Years.

Many Years.
Several press kilograms have lately been
received from New York concerning Sidney
S. Landeshutt, who is travelling under the
Dame of Edgerton. The story is that be
has suddenly turned up. after an absence Of
many years abroad. to find that bis wife
whom he left in San Francisco some ten
years ago, had remarked. under the belief
that he was dead. Her present husband is
J. 81. None, q lawyer, and President of the
State Baseball League.
This is, no doubt, the same Sidney S.
Landeshutt who figured in criminal circles
here in Sacramento about thirteen years
ago. He swindled widow, Mrs. Belle
Crowley, out of 81 900, got 500 diamond
ring from Samuel Jelly, the jeweler, and
beat number of people ont of various
sums. He served term in the County
Jail, and afterward got into trouble in San
Francisco. Finally he skipped for other
parts.
The report that he is dying to see the
children he abandoned sounds very pathetic,
but the cold-blooded swindler is not prob
ably much concerned about them, for he
has all these years known where they
were. 1t is said that he intends to return
to San Francisco, and-as he is possessed of
adamantine cheek-it is quite possible that
he will come and cause his Injured wife all
the trouble possible.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.

DEVELOPMENT,
[S- p. Rnlletin Santemhnr 1sth


Is. F. Bulletin, September 18th.
at the meeting of the State Board of
Trade yesterday, resolutions, compliments
ary to NJ. NJ. Estee, a member of the Board
who Is to leave tomorrow for the East to
serve as member of the Congress of
American States, and expressing the ut
most confidence in his ability, were adopted.
In response to questions, Edgar Price.
who was advance agent with California on
Wheels on its late tour, expressed his con-
yiction that many persons would be in
duced IN the course of time to remove to
this State. There is a widespread feeling
all through the Eastern States that Califor.
mia land is very high in price. Many East
ern residents who desire to come here can
| not do so readily because of inability to
dispose of their lands. The various pro-
ducts shown in the exhibition attracted
attention according to the producing char
acterlstlcs of the country in which the car
| happened to be.
Mr.. Mills spoke of the outlook of the
| fruit-producing industry in this State. and
moved the appointment of committee to
ascertain facts regarding its present condi-
ton and its prospects. Carried.
Mr.. Emery spoke of the rapid settlement
of Dakota, and asked Mr.. Mills for his
| opinion as to its cause. In his Judgment
| Dakotas settlement was due largely to its
location, and he questioned if California
would not have been more rapidly settled
| had it been similarly located.
In response Mr.. Mills expressed the opin-
ion that character of population and meth.
DDS of land division were factors that
entered largely into Dakota's rapid settle
ment. The large tracts of land held in
California by individuals was one thing
that had long operated against its settle
ment. 1t is a notable fact that corn and
wheat producers went largely to Dakota. as
that section had special reputation for
producing those crops.
The question of the sort of literature that
is best to be distributed being raised, Gen.
eral Manager Brown spoke at length, men,
uonlng the great need of some definite
| knowledge of what is best to be put into
books to properly convince and guide i'm
migrants.
Mr.. Mills sail that usually representa-
tons of open country ready for settlement
are more attractive than descriptions of a
completed, well-settled country. 1t is one
of the most difficult things possible to make
the Eastern mind realize that climatic char
acteristics are of value, and worth paving
for as well as land. The best pamphlet to
induce immigration is that which is the best
substitute possible for personal visit. 1t
must show the settler where he can go to
the best advantage, where he can work and
| gain living.
The committee to report on profits and
prospects of fruit-growing, as appointed,
consists of President A T. Hatch, n. P,
Chapman, of Red Bluff, J. H. Flicklnger, OF
San Jose, and f. P. Earle, of Sacramento

The Sportsmen Forget the Fish and Game
Commissions Invitation.

The Sportsmen Forget the Fish and Game
Commissions Invitation.
State Fish Commissioners Routier and
Harvey met at the State Capitol yesterday,
in pursuance of the notice given a month
ago, inviting the cooperation of sportsmen
and sportsmens clubs in the matter of de-
termining the advisability of importing
game birds from other States and countries.
The Commissioners held their meeting, as
stated, but it was rather dreary one. If
it had not been for Deputy Controller Clark,
Clerk o Reilly and couple of newspaper
men, the Commissioners would have been
lett solitary and alone.
1t was facetiously but forcibly remarked
by one of those present that the Board had
overlooked a very important matter in
calling their meetipg-namely the offering
OF prizes for the best pigeon shots of the
State. An announcement of this kind
would doubtless have insured a large at
tendance of shooters, and possibly few
sportsmen would have been found in the
crowd.
The matter which the Board met to con-
slider is very important one, and should
not be sighted by the better class of sports
men of the State. While California is
blessed with good supply OF game, 1t
must be acknowledged that the varieties
are limited, and that it would be very de-
sirable thing to have our foothills and val
leys filled with Bob Whites, prairie chick
ems and other species of choice game birds.
The proposed action of the Commissioners
also contemplates the importation of wild
turkeys, and possibly Oriental pheasants,
English larks and other birds. After much
labor they secured an appropriation by the
Legislature of sum sufficient to make a
good beginning, and are desirous of having
the active cooperation and assistance of
sportsmen in the undertaking
The Board decided to give the sportsmen
one more opportunity to be heard, and
postponed action until after the meeting
of the State Sportsmen's Association at San
Jose next month. a very attractive shoot
ing contest will then take place, and Com
missioners Routier and Harvey will attend
and lay the matter before the assembled
champions of the several clubs throughout
the State.
The only business transacted at yester-
days meeting was to allow the gentlemen
in Calaveras county-the tailings from
whose smelling works were killing off trout
until January next to abate the nuisance.

The Shen-Game Thieves Work the limo

Yesterday morning intelligence was re-
eeived at the police station that shell
game was in full blast on the Yolo bridge.
Officers Farrell and Simmons were detailed
to otake charge ofthe operators. Thegamblers
evidently supposed that, being on the
bridge, they were outside of the iurisdic-
ton of either Yolo or Sacramento coun-
ties, and had their game running in full
blast. As soon as the officers put in an
appearance, however, the captain of the
pirates gave the command, Scatter, boys,
scatterP' and the whole gang readily
obeyed. -Four of the party were captured,
but the chief operator made his escape
The four who were arrested proved to be
only "cappers," and were allowed to go.
