MRS. Foster,s Foreboainrs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November 49,
Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster, President of the
Iowa State w. G. T. o., said to re-
porter today that she has had no confer
ence with any members of the society
since leaving Chicago, but she has been
greatly encouraged by the warm assu-
ances OF approval and support which
have come to her from all parts OF the
country. "We we're in the very small
minority at the late convention" said
she, "but are sustained by the great
majority of other Temperance workers"
Mrs. Foster spoke at length about the
fight Of the Iowa Union against partisan
movements, and the reproaches aud in.
justice they have met with at the hands
of the National organization. She says
the Provisional Committee will take
steps to gather into the central orgauiza-
ton the women who wish to carry On a
genuine temperance work will out refer
ence to eny political party or oiganiza-
tion. "We shall Iot," Gays she, "go into

However much she may wish

TIE New York Aldermen have psgset

THE New York Aldermen have passed
an ordinance which banishes organ
grinders and their organs from the
streets. One may be permitted to doubt
the propriety of this act. The music of
the hand-organ is about the only music
outside of parade bands which consid-
cradle percentage of the people of large
cities ever hear. They evidently enjoy
it, or the music would cease for want OF
support. There is one thing about the
hand-organ, if it is good one-it gives
genuine music, and that cannot be said

ST.. LOUIS, November 1s.-Letters re-
ceived in this city from John E. Nc.
Grath, one of the chiefs of the Govern
ment expedition for the survey of Alaska,
dated August 10th and 21st, say that
part of the expedition which he COM
mands had, at that time, navigated the
Yukon river farther than any steamer
went before, and will, during the winter,
travel through an unexplored land. Nc
Grath speaks Of the miserable poverty
and filth of Ahe Indian inhabitants.
Game and feb are very abundant. 1t is
difficult, he said, 10 believe one in an
Arctic land, when you observe luxuriant
forests, green grass, flowers and the
warmth of the day. But dig down ten
inches anywhere and the ground will be
found frozen hard. At Mulatto they dug
twenty-five feet to get water, ard the
ground was frozen all the way down. In
spite of this the weather is warm, and
every man is going around in his shirt
sleeves. Mosquitoes are plentiful and
ferocious.

The second letter, bearing date August

ments OF Los Angeles county are this
year bringing in great deal of money.
The nut raised here sells for eight cents
pound; and, delivered in the East, it
compares favorably with the famous
Grenoble staple. In fact, it commands
the top prices Of the world, and there is
no end of money in raising it. 1t costs
only about twenty cents a tree to
plant English walnuts, at the
rate of twenty.seven trees to the
acre, and they begin to yield in the
fifth year, and are source of consider.
able revenue even then. When it comes
to the tenth year, however, these trees
on rich bottom lands will return net
revenue of $500 an acre. OF course some
Northern Californian will come along
and say that lands capable OF such re-
turns are dear at $3.50 an acre, especially
when you can raise luxuriant corn crops
annually between the rows.

yesterday were such as we usually
have in November. They did not
come suddenly, but at the end
of several days, during which all

fall had been given. The heavy rainfall
of October was followed by several days
of strong. drying north winds. These
winds, to some extent, neutralized the
beneficial effects of the copious fall of
water, especially in the growth of
grasses. The present visitation will
make up for the backset of the north
winds, and our grasses will now start up
vigorously.

Internaslon.lConrressm Meets.

WASHINGTON, November 1S.-The In.
ternational American Conference met tc-
day at noon. Secretary Blaine presided.
The Brazilian delegates were the only
notable absentees. The entire session
was devoted to the business of organiza-
tion. Adjourned till Wednesday.
There was some confusion in the pro-
ceedings, owing to the fact that several
OF the delegates do not understand the
English language. Delegate Quintana,
of the Argentine Republic, wished the
appointment of two Secretaries in order
that the English and Spanish speaking
delegates might be equally represented.
After discussion the proposition went over
until next session, but in the meantime
two of the delegates were selected to act
as Secretaries until ARRANGEMENTS are
made. All motions and remarks were
thereafter translated, making the pro.
ceedingE somewhat slow.
Toe Committee on Committees pre-
sented report providing for the appoint
ment OF number OF committees to con.
slider and report ON various important
points, among them one on basis for an
American customs union and the ramifi.
cations of that subject; three committees

A FAMOUS Paris connoisseuf and art
collector says that he had Millet's pic
ture, "Angelus" (Which was sold to an
American for 5S4, 600 francs), for several
months in his possession, with 10000
francs as the price he was to sell it for.
He says that the price paid for picture
nowadays is no criterion whatever of its
value as work of art, and this fact is
due to Americans who have boundless
wealth as well as boundless ignorance
OF art. This art collector says
the sale Of "Angelus" is q case
in point. 1t might possibly be worth S4,.
900 francs, but by no stretch of partiality
could any man who is judge Of pictures
add half million to that as it's value.
The fact is our nouueaMr riches make
fools and dupes of themselves when they
go to Europe to buy pictures. The man
who has made millions in hog fat thinks
he knows good picture when he sees
it. 1t doesn't follow that because a man
has been successful in studying out the
grease lines Of porkers that he is also
competent to pass judgment on the grace
lines OF pictures. Hogs, excepting in
the shape OF hams, are rarely transferred
to canvas; SO that there is little chance
in the art galleries for these millionaires
with their well lsrded pockets to inspect
picture upon the merits of which they
would be competent to judge. But there
is great difference between pig and a
Madonna, and the man who thoroughly
understands the pig is very apt to make
jack of himself when he selects com.
position on canvas inspired by sublmer
themes.
