The PACIFIC POULTRY WORLD is the
name OF new journalistic venture pub
liahed by Mr.. G. NJ. Heintz of this city.
The first number of the publication is on
this desk. It is the August number, and
the paper will hereafter appear monthly.
1t is in neat ouarto form, of eight pages
and covers, full OF we'll prepared and in.
teresting matter on the industry to which
it is devoted. Graceful illustrations
adorn its pages and shed lustre on the
matter treated in the letter press. The
field attempted to be occupied by this
journal is an important one, one which
will enlarge rapidly from this on in the
section in which it is published. Farm
ers here do not realize the Importance
Of poultry raising, but it will be the aim
of The Pacific Poultry World to enlighten
them on this subject. No doubt in hands
30 able as those of Mr.. Heintz the aim
will lie true and hit the mark. Every
farmer in this section ought to be sab.
scri Der to the journal, and ought to learn
from it how to increase largely the reve-
nues from his farm. Besides poultry
pigeons and pet stock will be kept in
view. Mr.. Heintz is not novice in the
use of the pen, nor in the management
of paper. He will succeed.

AN ORANGE TRUST.
A Big Scheme 10 Control the
Florida Crop.

NEW YORK. July 27.-The Mail and Er-
press says: meeting of wholesale fruit
merchants who are interested in the dis.
position of the Florida grange crop will
be held in this city August 1st. The
leading dealers in oranges from the
principal cities throughout the country
will attend. The object of the meeting
is ostensibly a combination of the large
houses in the trade for the purpose of OBJ
tanning lower rates OF freight, quicker
and better transportation and concentra-
tion of shipments to two or more of the
most important cities.
Tne real object is to form an orange
trust, which will control the entire Florida
orange crop direct, its packing and ship
ping, and to confine the sale of oranges
to members. The call for the meeting
was sent out by one of the largest dealers
in Florida oranges in this city, and sew
eral weslthy firms are said to be ready to
furnish the financial backing that will be
necessary.
1t is proposed to form q pool of 100
leading fruit merchants and capitalists
each one OF whom is to contribute $l0,-
600 This will make a total capital of a
million. With this amount packing
houses are to be built at different points
in Florida, and the whole business of
sorting, packing and shipping fruit will
be conducted
The entire orange crop of Florida is
to be contracted and sent to members
of the pool in New York, Bo. ton, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia. New CLEANS and possibly other
cities. The promoters of the scheme
claim that it is not trust but cooper
atlve arrangement for the benefit of grow
ers, shippers and sellers. The growers
will be asked to sign contracts disposing
of their crop on the trees at uniform
rate of 81 per box, for five years. The
fruit will be sold at auction to the trade.
All private sales will be stopped and the
demand for fruit will regulate the price.

The Southern Pacffic,s Grit.

CHICAGO, July 27.-At meeting of the
Transcontinental Association today fur
ther endeavor was made to compromise
the differences between the Southern
and Canadian Pacific roads. On the
question of differentials claimed by the
latter on California business, the South
ern Pacific announced as its ultimatum
that it would accept no compromise
whatever and would only rescind it's
notice of withdrawal from the association
upon the waiver of all differentials
claimed by the Canadian Pacific.
1t is not believed the Canadian Pacific
will accede to these terms, and the gen
eral impression in railroad circles is that
the association is doomed to disruption.
1t is supposed the ultimatum OF the
Southern Pacific, in which it recedes
from its compromise offer of limited dif-
suit Of the slashing cut on seaboard rates
made by the Denver and Fort Worth
road yesterday.

sstional scene in Judge McConnell's 8
court room at midnight. James W.
Smith had been on trial few days past

they returned verdict finding Smith
guilty, and fixing his sentence at nine
years in the penitentiary. Smith was
greatly affected, and rising to his feet
exclaimed: Il am innocent. l swear

meet, am innocent" AS he finished he
raised his hand, and with small pocket.
knife stabbed himself in the left breast.
He fell back wards on the floor, while his
wife, who had been sitting beside him.
screamed wildly, "Oh Jim, why did you
do that?" Doctors were hastily sum-
mnned, and found wound an inch and
half deep, about three inches above
the nipple. They do not think the
would-be suicide will die. In his
pockets was found letter addressed to
Judge Mcconnell, but the Judge was too
much excited to read it tonight. Smith
had always heretofore borne good repu-
tsiion, and was employed as a draughts-
man in railroad office here.

all the great schemes OF his active life,
whose acts have been 80 dominant in the

ROYAL NUPTlALS.
Marriage of the Earl of Fife and
Princess Louise of Wales.

LONDON, July 27.-Princess Louise, the
eldest daughter OF the Prince of Wales,
was married at noon to the Earl of Fife.
The ceremony took place in the private
chapel of Buckingham Palace. This was
the first marriage that ever took place
in the chapel, which is small, and the
number Of guests was, therefore, limited.
The bridal party, consisting of the
Prince Of Wales, Princess Louise and
Princesses Victoria and Maud of Wales,
left Marlborough House, the residence of
the Prince of Wales, at IL 40, for Buck
ingham Palace. Notwithstanding the
rain, the route to the palace was crowded
with spectators. There was vast con-
course of people opposite the palace. The
Prince of Wales was enthusiastically
cheered.
The bridegroom arrived privately.
The Princess of Wales, the Prince of
Denmark, King of Greece, Prince Albert
Victor and Prince George of Wales as
sembled in the bow library of Bucking-
ham Palace at IL AS, and there awaited
the arrival of the Queen from her private
apartments.
ROYAL PROCESSION.
On the arrival in the bow library of the
Queen, accompanied by the Grand Duke
O f Hesse, procession to the chapel
was formed, comprised of the Queen,
members of the royal family, King OF
Greece, Crown Prince OF Denmark and
other officers of the royal household.
The procession, Oh the way to the
church, passed through several royal
apartments in which many guests, who
found it impossible to enter the
chapel, were seated. Upon reaching the
chapel, the royal persouages took seats
on either side of the altar.
The Earl of Fife, who was attired in a
Highland costume, and wore the garter
of the Duffs, accompanied by his grooms-

THERE is probably no very exhilarant
spirit amongst Californians as they con.
template the fact that the nation, the
State, mostly the city and county of San
Francisco and absolutely the city and
county of Los Angeles, are in Republican
hands. This is brave descent from the
%, 900 majority rolled up by the Demo-
Gratis in 1882. What have been the causes
of this decline and fall from such rise
They must be very significant and in
structive. Whatever the cause of this
disastrous eclipse, the real Democrat
must feel like exclaiming like one of
Dickens favorite characters, "when
found, make note ont" The contem-
plation of political misfortunes long en-
dured may prove beneficial in the line of
the poet who has said, "Sweet and
bitter are the uses of adversely" Per-
haps the solution of the problem is that
the Democratic party on this Coast has
had to pack too many political cranks
and self-seekers-too many men loaded
up with empirical notions, who care
every thing for themselves and nothing
for the party. There is time enough be-
fore the next election to get things on a
better basis; and it is just possible that
if the active management of the party
passed into the hands Of people who do
not get their living from the party, and
who do not carry around a garner house
of resentments and old time fights, it
| ould be the better for all concerned.
