An Overland Train That Bears Away
Some of CALIFORNIA; Moneyed Kings.
There was great deal of capital repre-
through the city last night en- route to the
East. There were aboard ]. B. Haggin, C.
A. Spreckels and John Macksy, beside
three wealthy japanese gentlemen. The
millions represented by these parties are so
numerous as to make the head of an
ordinarily rich man fairly swim in trying
to estimate them. And yet the stranger
would not have taken any of them to be
more than commonly well-to-do. Haggin,
who looked like staid old farmer, talked
with bookkeeper 0'Sullivan about the lit
tie details of his Rancho del Paso. A few
feet distant Mackay. with his hands thrust
into the pockets of his plain travelling suit,
cracked Jokes with Aleck Badlam, and
Spreckels and Edgar Carroll chatted about
matters and things very much as couple

outskirts OF group of party-goers.
Mr.. Haggin is accompanied by his wife
and daughter, and occupied his own pri-
vate car. He will reach the East in time
to witness some of the great races in which
his horses will participate. Mr.. Spreckels
is also accompanied by his young and
pretty wife. He goes to assume charge of
the great Spreckels sugar refinery in Phila-
delphia, where he will make his home

enough like Colonel Bob" Hamilton to be

the air of man who doesn care whether
school keeps or not" so long as he has a
stray nickel or two in his pocket, and his
supply of cigars holds out. He will prob
ably go to Europe before he returns, to look
after some of the libel suits that himself

What an Old Citizen Thinks About it.

EDS. SUNDAY UNION: Your article in to-
days (Saturday's) issue, relative to the
erection of a new County Cour-thouse,and
the sale of the present one to the city,
should receive the attention of all intelli-
gent citizens and taxpayers. The men who
have made this city their home, and have
stood. by her through fire and flood
in her adversely as well as her prosperity
should not now close their eyes to any pro-
position calculated to advance the inter.
ests of Sacramento. We are advancing in
prosperity, and should endeavor to keep
abreast of the times in all things calculated
to enhance the interests of our city and her
people. The suggestion concerning the
building of a new Courthouse looks like
one in the right direction, and it is to be
hoped that our citizens will give it their
careful thought. CITIZEN.

"Piratical' Vessels in Behring Sea.

A dispatch from San Francisco says
In an interview, Mr.. l.. Sloan, president of
the Alaska Commercial company, said:
"Our lease expires the first of May next,
but if the present state of affairs contin-
ues, we will not want to renew it. The
number of piratical vessels in Behring sea
is greater this year than formerly. The
Government cutter has done what it could
but it is entirely powerless to watch the
whole region They have stolen at least
5000 skins and killed at least 5000 seals.
We have taken about 100, 900 skins. I'm
less we can be assured of protection against
illegal sealing, we would under no consid-
Grafton renew the lease. If the revenue
cutter should bring any captured sealers to
Ounalsska, it is almost foregone conclu-
sion that riot would occur there. Much
damage would result by fire and des-
truction of propa.. Such occurrence is
probable any time and the possibility of
it's spreading is standing menace to the
peace of Alaskan producers, owing to the
criminal and brutal character of the out
lawed sealers.
Regarding the other industries in our
Northern territory, Mr.. Sloan said it was
thought that the Alaskan salmon supply
was inexhaustible, but the experience OF
this year teaches differently. The can
neries have reduced the amount of salmon
materially. As an illus tration, one estab
lishment that last season put up 100, 600
cases, was reduced about half this year
even with increased exertion, he believed
Alaska must depend for her fuel on her
mineral wealth.

Serious Charges Against Consul.

A strange figure sat in the centre of a
group gathered in Secretary Blaine's office
1t was that of M. Benezuli, the Morocco
merchant, whose complaint against Mr..
Baird Lewis, United States Consul at Tan
giers, was laid before President Harrison
Around him were seated Secretary Blaine
and Mr.. A. Solomons and Mr.. Wolfe, both
prominent Jewish residents of this city.
P. 81. Toledano, of New York, inter
pretor for Benezuli, and Ramon Azoque
for official interpreter of the United States
Consul at Tangiers Benezuli recited his
wrongs in extenso to the Secretary. Accord
ing to his statement he was a merchant of
Fee, an interior town of Morocco. Believ-
ing that the protection of the United
States Consul would be of benefit to him
in his business, he entered into negotiations
with some of his fellow Moors to secure
the same and secured it by the payment of
$435. How much of this, if any, went to
Consul Lewis, he does not know. Ramon
Azoque, it is said, confirmed Benezuli's
statement in part respecting the transaction
but he is also igorant of the details of the
money part
The basis for laying the protest against
the flag over natives of Morocco, is an
article in the Madrid treaty between the
United States and Morocco. That article
authorizes and empowers the representa-
tive of the United States in Morocco to
extend the protection of his government to
members of his household and such other
residents of the country as it IS desired to
honor, because of their services in its be-
half
Touching his own relations to the Tan
gier's consulate, Ramon Azoque told the
Secretary in response to the latter's ques-
tions, that he was a native of Morocco,
but had come to this country about ten
years ago. He accompanied Consul Lewis
from Philadelphia to Tangiers when the
latter went out to his post early in 1897,
and remained with him as official inter-
prefer until last December. On being
ordered by the Consul to do something he
didn't believe to be right, he quilted the
service and returned to this country.
Being further questioned by the Secre-
tsry, the ex-interpreter made some appa-
rently damaging disclosures in the man
agement under Consul Lewis, and in sup
port of the truth of his declaration sub
mitted documents which the Secretary
placed under his official seal for further
examination.
These disclosures are said to have been
of very serious character, relating to ex-
tortionate charges by the consul, and even
worse. Throughout the whole interview
Secretary Blaine is said to have manifested
the keenest interest, and at its close
wrote cablegram to Consul Lewis direct
ing him to appear at the State Department
and meet the charges laid against him.

Does Advertising Pay

We occasionally come in contact with
merchants who tell US they cannot see afsy
benefit to be derived from Advertising Aid
to these gentlemen we desire to call their
attention to the following extracts FROM q
communication to a bankers m2gazi&e
written by retired banker, and who las
no personal interest in the matter. Among
number of suggestions as to details in the
conduct OF the business, the writer saws
''MaybH you tried advertising but failed
to get adequate returns for your outlay.
Ii so, rest assured That the facE lies Wi b
you alone. Don't settle down in the false
belief that there is nothing in advertising.
My faith in it is as firm as rock. In my
OPINION 1t IS as necessary to modern bust
ness as the telegraph, the telephone, short
hand and type writer. But it is some
what of an art, which many cannot COM
prehend and appreciate. Whoever does
really master it will make it pay largely in
the long run
To be a successful advertiser, remember
two points: You must give great thought
20 the wording of an advertisement then
you must be a constant advertiser The
wording is of utmost Importance. Those
cards which impress the reader forcibly
with uprightness, promptness, reliability,
and enterprise will outweigh in financial
returns those having no definite or salient
features.
Advertising by fits and starts is simply
throwing money away. Only by system,
and continuous use of printers ink will
you arrive at the desired results, and these
grow increasingly as the time goes on.
The longer your advertisement stands, the
better it becomes. When the readers
become accustomed to see your card in the
same nook and corner, when they become
thoroughly familiarized with your name
convinced of your merits-then you will
begin to feel the beneficial effects of the
Il oney thus spent, and these will continue
growing. 1t is in this manner that the
pane of your institution, though ever s.
remote, can be made known throughout
the country, and that is what brings you
outside business. "-ErcEunQR

he Croaker.

There is such thing in the land as a
croaker, and no country, city or town can
rise to any great extent without their aid.
They are necessity in the land, anG we
used to be foolish enough to think they
were a nuisance and a curse to country.
We have at last come TO the conclusion
that they are just as necessary to the pro
gress and upbuilding of q country as
good wind is to the flying of a kite. TIE
school boy sits under the shade content
with marbles or some other game until
stiff breeze reminds him that ''now's a
good time to fly my kite" Whenever the
croaker doubles his energies and seeks to
break down and keep back home enter
prises and home ms .itutions that are cal
culated to make people seIf-reliant and
vigorous, then it is that progress becomes
aroused and gets in her work. A progress
sive people cannot be kept back. Build
they will, in spite of opposition. No man
can be true to his home, to his State, TO his
parish or to himself unless he takes some
part Gf nothing more than speaking good
word in helping to build up and sustain
the institutions and enterprises of his
community.-Th american.

Why Charley Lost His Place.

Charley was whistling merry ture as
he cane down the road, with his hands in
his pocket, his cap pushed back on his
head, and general air of good fellowship
with the world.
He was on his way to apply for posi-
ton in stationer's store that he Was very
anxious to obtain, and in his pocket we're
the best of references concerning his char
acter for willingness and honesty. He
felt sure that there would not be mu h
doubt of his obtaining the place when he
presented these credentials.
A few drops of rain fell, as the bright
sky was overcast with clouds, and he be-
gan to wish that 10 had brought an UNI
prella. From a house Just little way
before him two little children We're start
ing out for school, and the mother stood
in the door smiling approval as the boy
raised the umbrella and took the little
sister under It's shelter in quite manly
fashion.
Charley was q great tease, and like most
boys who indulge in teasing or rough
practical jokes, he always took care to
select for his victim some one weaker or
younger than himself.
"PIl have some fun with those child
rem" he said to himself and before they
had gone very far down the road he crept
up behind them and snatched the umbrella
out of the boys hand.
In vain the little fellow pleaded with
him to return it. Charley took malicious
delight in pretending that he was going to
break it or throw it over the fence and as
the rain had stopped, ne amused himself
in this way for some distance making the
children run after him and plead with him
tearfully for their umbrella.
Tired of this sport at last, he relin-
quished the umbrella as carriage ap-
preached, and, leaving the children to dry
their tears, went ON towards the store.
Mr.. Mercer was not in, so Charley sat
down on the steps to wait for him. An
old gray Cat was basking in the sun, and
Charley amused himself by pinching the
poor animals tail till she mewed pitifully
and struggled to escape.
While he was enjoying this sport, Mr.
Mercer drove up in his carriage, and
passed Charley on his way into the store
TIE boy released the cat, and following
this gentleman in, respectfully presented
his references.
'tThese do very WELL" Mr.. Mercer said,
returning the papers to Charley. of had
not seen some of your other references, |
might have engaged you"
'Other references? What do you mean,
sir? ?" asked Charley, in establishment.

you were on your way here, and saw you
diverting yourself by teasing two little
children. A little later a dog passed You,
and you cut him with the switch you had
in your hand. You SHE'D a stone at bird,
and just now you were delighting your
self in tormenting another defenceless an
lmal. These are the references that have
decided me to have nothing to do with you.
don't want a cruel boy about me-
AS Charley turned away, crestfallen
over his disappointment, he determined
that wanton cruelty, even though it seemed
to him to be only 'fun, should not cost
him another good place.-CanadG Presbg-

ROOM FOR GRAPE VINES.

vineya informed us that having
planted his grape vines II feet apart, and
wishing to change portion OF them ne
grated every alternate vine with another
sort. The gratis failed, giving only one
half as many of the original kind, but with
plenty of room between them. The result
was that this thinned vineyard bore crop
of much better grapes than before. An
other vineyardist planted Concords only
six feet apart. He was resolved thus to
obtain the greatest products from a little
ground. When they grew to much size
they bore but little, poor fruit, as they
were crowded. The seventh year he took
out every alternate vine, after which he
had fine and abundant grapes. Two vine
Yards were examined in southern Ohio

on the wide trellis were fully twice as large
and they were greatly superior In quality
to the small punches on the stakes.

Butter-bean Vines and Sheep.

A subscriber on the Mississippi coast
writes that he lost two sheep recently by
their gaining access to butter-bean vines !;
he did not know before that they were
liable to kill sheep. AS We never owned
a sheep, and very few butter bean vines,
nor ever heard any one say bntter-bean
vines, or that sheep would eat butter bean
vines, nor possessing any information
directly or indirectly upon the subject, OF
course cannot say positively that butter
bean vines are likely to kill sheep. or thai
sheep are likely to kill butter-bean vines.
We hope this humble explanation will be
gratefully appreciated by our friend aud
that his sheep will hereafter let butter
bean vines severely alone. Ershaaas.
