THE INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.
Election of Officers and Arrange
ments for Building.

Election of Officers and Arrange
ments for Building.
The Board of Managers of the Indus
trial Exposition met yesterday morning
at the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce. The code of bylaws, which
have been under discussion some time
and have passed through the hands Of
the attorney of the organization, were
given their final reading and were
adopted. They contain merely provis-
ions as to the election of officers, conduct
of.meetings, issuance of stock, etc.
The following officers were then
chosen President, W. E. Hughes; First
Vice-P W. E. Forester; Second
Vice. President, s. w. Luitweiler; Third
Vice. President, G.. w. Robinson; Secre-
tsry, NJ. r. Higgins; Treasurer, E. w.
Jones.
committee was appointed to select a
site for the building. They were A. W.
Forester, s. B. Lewis and M. Dods-
worth. A second Committee on Memoir
ial and Prospectus was appointed, con-
sisting of E. W. Jones, 7. A. Lewis and
M. r. Higgins.
In order to start public interest in the
matter, a general meeting of citizens is
called for next Monday afternoon at
o'clock, at which addresses on the SUBJ
ject of the Industrial Exposition, setting
the advantages in the way of trade and
advertisement which it will bring to this
section, will be delivered by several
mem bers of the Board of Managers.
1t is proposed that the building which
will be used for the annual exposi-
ton shall be a permanent struc-
ture of considerable size and an ornament
to the neighborhood in which it is To-
Gated. 1t will have tendency to draw
trade in the direction of its location, and
to improve the value of neighboring real
estate. This fact has been appreciated
by several prominent landowners in the
city, and they have begun negotiations
with the committee having the site of the
building in their charge. One of them
has offered $4,000 cash toward the erec.
ton of the building, in case it is located
near his property.
The work on the building will be be-
gun as soon as money is raised by the
sale of stock. The committee is now
ready to receive propositions from prop
erty-owners who would like to arrange fol
the location of the building. A large at
tendance is desired at the meeting mex
Monday, and it is expected that the bus
mess men of the city, who are profound
| ly interested in the success of the scheme
will be present and contribute advice anC
assis tance.

Additions Recently Made to the
Public Library.
withssanding the cramped quarters
which the Public Library occupies al
present, several important improve
ments have been made by the Board oi
Directors, the Librarian, Miss I. L.
Kelso and her Assistant, Miss Jessie A.
Gavit. One of these is the placing oi
the principal magazines in circulation.
Heretofore magazines have not been
permitted to 60 into circulation, and
those who desired to read them had te
do 80 in the Library rooms. Another
improvement is the stack where none
but new books are kept. Formerly
there was no way of telling the books
that we're new from those that had been
ON hand some time. Now, those who
desire to glance over the new books can
find them without trouble. Within the
past week the following new books have
been placed on the shelves:
"Africa" (Earth and its Inhabitants

OLD DOCUMENTS.
Will which Was Written seventy
Four Years Ago.

EOuT HeaES ASOs
Public Administrator D. w. Field has
made an interesting discovery among
some papers which have been placed IN
his charge in connection with an estate
upon which he is to administer. They
are some documents in the shape OF deeds
and agreeme ents made in Canada many
years ago. One of these is the will ol
Mat. Fox made on the 14th OF December
1916. The paper on which the will is
written is not much like thatin use at the
present day, and it has turned yellow
with age. The ink, however, is still as
black as it was on the day on which ii
was written. The will begins:
s'In the name OF god amen That last
will and Testament of Matthew fox. oi
Philipstown In the Kings County, gentle
man who being at present in the Decline
of life and over the Age of seventy years,
but of sound and perfect Memory Do be-
queath his Soul to god, his body to the
hearth Rottiness and worms, L 90 be-
quaith my body to be Inferred in a
Christian like manner in the Church
yard at Riladery. 1 do bequaith my
property and claims to my, brothers
property george fox deceased as Next
Heir in kin to him, as follows" Then
follow a number of bequests ranging
from Is shillings to 9100, and the will is
signed by Mat Fox and Witnessed by
VIM. Banks and Marg't McMullin.
Another interesting document is a let
ter written from Toronto on March 20
1S4S, in which the prices of various CO.
m odities are quoted as follows Flour
$4@8.50 per barrel; bacon 5000 per bar.
rel chard wood $2@2.20 per load; bes'

NJ makes a Poor showing IN san

Secretary Ward of the Board OF Trade,
has lust returned from San Francisco,
and while he says he had very pleas
ant time, he comes back full Of indigna-
ton at the way Los Angeles county is
represented at the State Board of Trade
rooms. While in San Francisco he wan
dered into the rooms of the State Board
of Trade, under the Grand Hotel. These
rooms are large and very attractively
fitted up, containing the exhibits OF the
products of nearly all the counties IN
the State. He wandered into the rooms
and admired the exhibits of Chico. OF
Solano county, Stanislaus county, Butte
county, San joaquin county, El Dorado
county, Inyo county, and after a while
began to wonder why he did not see any
thing that came from Los Angeles.
There were immense stacks OF WINE
from Stanislaus county, cases OF fruits
from Butte county, oranges from Oro,
vile, strung all over the ceiling, and
specimens of grain and fruits from other
places, but Los Angeles was not TO pc
seen tackled on anything until he reacneo
the back room, where, on a small tapie,
he found the following articles, supposed
to represent the products OF Los Angeles
county: Twenty-Five bottles OF wine from
w. FL, Workman, three email glass Jars
of walnuts, one photograph OF an orange
orchard, half dozen OF views OF lngle.
wood. ten poor lemons, one box each OF
dried prunes, dried peaches, raislns ana
dried plums. These were carefully placed
on sheet of red paper, and Mr.. ara
said he feltlike paying some one TO throw
this immense exhibit into the street, as
it seemed to him that it would be better
to have no exhibit at all than one 80
poor. San Diego's exhibit, Immediately
adjoining, consisted of five bottles OF
olive oil, two sweet potatoes one ear Oh
corn, one jar of lime, one piece OF lime
rock and nine Irish potatoes. j,
The Secretary of the State Board OF
Trade said that it was no fault OF his tnat
the exhibit was so small. he wouio
guarantee that Los Angeles county would
receive the best kind of treatment II the
things we're sent to San Francisco to place
ON exhibition. He would give space as
prominent as there was IN the rooms IL
the samples Of the products OF the county
were sent to him. Mr.. Ward exam
ined the books at the Secretary's
desk, and found that the average
number of visitors was about 500, most
of whom were strangers to California
looking for favorable locations in which
to settle. Besides there there were reg
istered 10000 inquiries by mail from East
ern points, for information. In the light
of ali these facts Mr.. Ward said that 1t
was plain that no small amount OF adver-
tising could be obtained for the county by.
placing a good exhibit at the rooms OF
the State Board of Trade.

The Flag Cottage.

The famous Flag Cottage affair will ap-
pear again in the courts about the middle
of next month. The last charge made
against the McCormacks, who conducted
the place, was that of maintaining dis
orderly house. 1t was tried in Justice
Savage's court, about six wooks ago, but
could not be made to hold. A new COM
plant has now been sworn out, charging
them with keeping house of ill-fame.
The defendants were taken before JUS
tice Austin yesterday, and the 10th OF
May was act for their trial. They were
allowed to go on bail of $500 apiece.

The Most Efficient Fertilizer.

The experiments at stations and by
individuals continue to confirm the old
opinion that barn manure is more uni
versally useful and efficient under all
circumstances than any of the special
fertilizers. In rating its value by
analysis, the carbonaceous matter
which it contains is not commonly
taken into account, but its abundant
presence is one reason why it is so
generally beneficial to all soils. It
operates in several ways. among them
in the mechanical condition given to
land, and in promoting the absorption
of moisture and essential Ingredients
of fertilizers 1t greatly assists in i'm
proving the texture of many soils.
With these qualities, it is well to mix
with yard manure various other sub
stances. Inquiry is often made for the
best way to apply bone dust, plaster.
mari. air-slaked lime, superphosphase,
etc In most cases. the easiest way is
to mix them through heaps of manure,
in their alternating layers; and if there
is plenty of the manure, and the guam
tity of the other ingredients is small,
the more perfect the intermixture can
be made. The thinner and more numer-
GUS the layers. the more perfectly they
will be diffused through the manure,
and the less labor will be required In

WOMEN DRUG CLERKS.

According to Male Authority They Give
Satisfaction to Employers.
''Why don't you employ female drug
clerks?" asked Washington reporter
of a druggist the other day.
THAT has been tried in some Cities"
was the reply. land has worked very
we'll; but somehow female drug clerks
have not yet become fixture in Wash
ington. l never had but one applica-
ton for position by woman, and
she was graduate of a Chicago col
lege of pharmacy. din't employ her.
not because had any objection to TAX
ing female clerk, but because had
no vacancy. I don't know of but one
druggist in the city who has employed
a woman behind his counter. and she
was at the soda fountain"
lis she still there?' asked the re-
porter.
mo, don't think she was sue
cess. I've no doubt she attended to
her duties, but you know men are pc
culiar. Some like to kick and swear
at the clerk, and they can't do that at
woman"
But the regular business of COM
pounding prescriptions" said the re-
porter. Cant woman 90 that as
well as man?"
II see no reason why she shouldn't.
She is quick and apt to acquire knowl-
edge, she has good memory, is care
full in making her measures and can
certainly mix the pills, powders or So
lutions that may be ordered. A wom-
an, too, IS naturally neat and would be
of value so far as the fancy articles
usually for sale in drugstore go.
But don't you know a drug clerks life
is an awful hard one? l stay in this
store from nine o'clock in the morn
ing until after midnight, and l am on
my feet nearly all the time. Now,
that would be very wearing Gil a wom-
an. and doubt if many of them have
the physical endurance to stand such a
tour of duty day in and day out right
through the year.
Still, he continued, as the reporter
jotted down some notes, Il have no
doubt that many women. if they should
graduate in pharmacy. could manage
drug store as successfully as a man
more so than good many men-but
then she would have male clerk and
don't you forget it."
why so?'
Because she would put more con-
fdence in man than she would in one
of her own sex. That's the way with
women. But there is one other diff
| ficulty that stands in the way of a
woman's success as drug clerk. By
a great many people we are considered
in the light of physician, and men
and women. too, consult us Just the
same as they would a regular doctor
The majority of women have not as
much confidence in a female as in a
male physician, even in regard to their
own peculiar ailments. l don't know
that this should be. but it is, and you
see how it would operate against a
female drug clerk SO far as her own
sex is concerned, while men, of course,
would not consult her at all All these
obstacles may be removed in time, and
we may have many female drug clerks,
but it will not be this year. "-Wash-
