One From California Should Be Sfarteo
for the Worlds Fair,
The "Wild-fower Contest" inaugurated
by the Surf last spring developed some IN
teresting facts. Its results have shown that
the teachers in our public schools are quick
to appreciate any movement calculated TO
popularize any course of study pursued un-
der their direction and that the scholars are
inspired with healthy spirit of <emulauou
in their pursuit of knowledge. The con-
test also developed fact that but few OUT

which is distinctive and unique. The laoor
of the scholars in collecting the wild spring
flowers indicated, too, that If the movement
was carried on throughout the State ior
year the result would undoubtedly De

Towering, for economic and medicinal
value rareness of species and singularity
of form and color could not be equaled by
any other State in the Union.
Why then should not a systematic effort be
made to get the children in the public schools
throughout the State to begin collecting the

great success would be achieved; all the
more if the scholars understood that they
were contributing something distinctive.
valuable and beautiful to the Worlds Far.
There certainly would be nothing like 1t IN
that great exhibition, and the collection
after the fair closed would be of great value
to any educational institution or natural
history collection in the world.
In carrying out scheme like the one in

public school children receive full credit for
their labors. The collection should be cred

4" FAREWELL To ALL"
Sophie Feiimann Takes a Fatal Dose of
Strychnine.

Sophie Feifmann Takes a Fatal Dose of
Strychnine.
Sophie Feitmann, aged "a years, born in
Germany and residing at 1913 Golden Gate
avenue, committed suicide yesterday after
noon by taking strychnine. The presump-
ton is that she had meditated the taking of
her own life from the fact that she left
letter in German. of which the following is
a translation:
AT last have come to the conclusion that it Is
necessary 10 make an end 10 my miserable exist
ence. Here are 500. which MIR. Bos shall have
for his trouble. The poison which i am now
about 10 take have been carrying with me for
several years.
l beg Mr. Siebers to have me buried quietly
and not TO send me to the Coroner's office. Fare
/, wei 10 all of you. Nobody is 10 blame. can
not bear TO live any longer.
This letter bears no date and has no sigma
ture. The deceased was the m0ther-in-law
of John II. Sievers, the florist. whose place
Of business is ON Post street, and who re-
ported the case to the Morgue. She had in
her possession when found small paper
box marked Experimentation" put up
by a. l.. Lengfeld, pharmacist, corner Geary
and Stockton streets. There was still con-
siderable strychnine in the box. An inquest
will be held.

ALMOST COMPLETE.

Precinct Board Appointees Examined
and Qualified.
The Board of Election Commissioners met
Yesterday morning and examined and quail
fed the appointees to serve on precinct
boards in the Forty-third, Forty-fourth and
Forty-ffth Assembly districts. The time
ordinarily consumed in such work was greatly
reduced by requiring the appontees to an
swer by precincts instead OF individually.
There now remains but three more Assem-
bly, districts to qualify, unless the process
now in court should result in sustaining the
point made by the Republican County Com
mittee-that Precinct Boards of Registra-
ton must be composed Of two from each
party.
In that event the board will have to go
over the whole $40 precincts and make an
additional appointment in each.

REAL ESTATE
Auction Sale of Valuable Fruit
Lands Near Dec0t0.

On Saturday next M. j. Laymance & Co.,
Oakland, and William Butterfeld. San Fran
cisco, will offer at auction in the town Of
Decoto, at O'Clock in the afternoon, thir-
teen small farms, of five and ten acres each,
situated in the famous deciduous fruit belt
adjoining the town, and only twenty miles
east OF Oakland, on the line of tie Central
Pacific Railroad. 1t is well known that the
lands in this fertile valley are rich and in
good demand for orchard purposes. The
very best OF hay is grown there, while SUI
perior grapes, figs, almonds, apricots,
prunes, pears, peaches aud olives are pro-
duced In very large quantities. Extracts
from circular issued by the agents for
the sale OF the property are here given: :.
Orchard culture, which is now, with viii
culture, the coming great industry OF this
valley, oilers most inviting field for the in
Vestment OF capital. There are bearing or
chards from which the rate of production
can be ascertained, as well as the quality Of
fruit, than which there is no superior.
Washington Township justly claims,
among its valued achievements, the posses
sion OF a fruit belt of unusual extent, variety
and value; the first establishment, on paying
basis, OF the sugar-beet industry of Califor-
ma, which is likely to grow into one OF our
most valued industries; and the possession
OF a famous wine district, second to none in
the State. Nurseries among the largest in
California have been established on Aiame-
da Creek; canneries are greatly needed al
ready, and in a few years Niles, Decoto,
Centerviile and the Mission San Jose will
be known as among the heaviest shippers of
declduous fruits, table grapes, wines, nuts
and dried fruits. The whole region for miles is
destined TO become one vast orchard, and the
hill sloFe one continuous vineyard.
The markets for fruits raised in this dis
trict will be the common one of all Califor-
nia-the East. The recent great reduction
in fast freight rates enables our fruits to be
placed in every Eastern State at prices
within reach Of the masses, and at the same
time at very good profit to the producer.
This market is practically without limit.
owing to the growth of the country and rail-
road extension to outlying districts. Cali
fornia fruits outsell all others in every mar
ket Our wines, too, are largely finding an
Eastern market direct. and eventually the
larger portion of our vintage will only leave
our cellars upon its sale in Eastern cities.

his loss was $3.50 and that the race, which
was run by Quickley and Mint, was not
bona fide. as Mint ran away from Quickley.
He has therefore caused the men TO be ar

claim there is nothing in the case and are
anxious to have 1t come to a hearing.

FOR PRIVATE REASONS.


W. Il. Murphy Resigned His Position in
the Customs Service.
w. B. Murphy, late Custom-house In
spector, who, it was stated, was discharged
for incompetency, has, it appears, been
made the victim of some ones false state
ment. The records of the Custom-house
show that he has done good work, and was
an efficient officer. Ii seems that the whole
story originated from the fact that MIR.
Murphy was not on hand to arrest the
smugglers of opium brought ashore from
the steam schooner Jennie short time ago.
1t would hardly have been possible for him
to have made The arrest as at the time he
was detailed to watch the dock of the
Pacific Mail Company's steamers and was
therefore over mile away from tile Jennie
Mr.. Murphy resigned his position for private
reasons, and not because of any fault found
with him in his official capacity.
