FARM PRODUCTS.
4 Marked Advance in Prices Over the Same
Period Last Year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Statistical returns
from the Department of Agriculture for De-
cember give the average farm prices for
agricultural products. from estimates made
both BY Government and State agents. The
present corn crop is worth more than the
last. and farmers will receive more for it.
Unfortunately. the districts of failure do not
realize their portion Of the advance in aver
age values. The price by the present re-
turns Is SOL cents per bushel, against %. 8
for 1889, an increase Of u per cent. This is
the highest December price of the decade,
except in 1881, when the average rose to g. 6
cents, that being the only year in the decade
in which the final average of condition was
worse than that of the present season. The
present average shows that small crops are
sure cure for low prices Prices in the
seven corn-surplus States are Ohio 81 cents,
Indiana At, Illinois 43, Iowa Al, Missouri "A,
Kansas 81, Nebraska 4S.
The average farm value Of the wheat crop
is estimated at "a cents per buShel, against
698 for 1889. The value of wheat is affected
by the harvestS of other countries and there
fore prices are not entirely governed by the
size of the home grown crop.
The price of oats responded sharply to the
pressure Of the small crop and increased
the demand because of the short corn crop.
The average is 42.2 cents, against % cents
last year. This is the highest reported since
1851.
Rye, like oats. at 62.s cents. is higher than
since 1881, and the same is true of barley at
64S. The deficiency In the potato crop has
caused an advance in values in all sections of
the country. The average is TIT cents, an
increase of more than 90 per cent over the
prices Of the past two years. Returns show
slightly higher prices for tobacco than have
prevailed since 1887. Hay alone of all the
farm products records decline from last
year. The present price is 81 IA per ton,
aud the falling off is due to the Increased
product.

DETROIT, Dec. II. AT the convention of
the American Federation of Labor this
morning Chairman GOmpers appointed
committee to formulate the views of the fed
GRAFTON on the subject Of the eight-hour day.
A resolution was adopted asking action of
the federation to head off the immigration of
laboring men from Europe during the COM
ing Worlds Fair. A resolution asking the
federation to support woman suffrage was
reported favorably. The convention re-
solved to extend sympathy to the striking
Alabama coal-miners. A resolution looking
to the more discreet use of the boycott was
passed.
A unanimous report Endorsed the Secre-
tary'S report, which pushed the eight-h0ur
day forward, and 1t was concurred in by the
convention. A grievance was read from a
Southern machinists' union regarding pro-
posed utilization, and one Of tie delegates
arose to denounce Section of the consttu-
tion, which confined admissions to white
men. A resolution excluding such locals as
draw the color line aud to organize the ma
chinists into national body who do not in
sert the race clause in the constitution was
offered and finally, after considerable de-
bate, respectful request was added asking
Southern unions to strike the color-line
clause from their constitutions, and the
whole was referred 10 the Executive Com
mlttee. A motion was made pledgng the
delegates present to lend their aid in their
respective localities in the formation oil

LIFE, REAL LIFE"


Lecture and Concert at Calvary Presby-
terian Church.
A lecture was given last night under the
auspices of the Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor Of Calvary Presbyterian
Church in the lecture-room of the church,
on the corner of Post and Powell streets.
Professor G. A. Scott, the church organist,
arranged very acceptable musical pro-
gramme, in which Nine. Yda de Seminario,
Miss Ella V. McCloskey and Mr.. S. j. Sandy
took the leading parts. Professor Scott was
unable to be present. owing to sudden in
disposition and Miss Boyd took his place as
accompanist. The selections were we'll
rendered and deservedly applauded.
Rev. Thomas Chalmers Easton, the pastor
of the church, delivered the lecture, which
was entitled "Life-Real Life" During
the course of its delivery, the speaker said:
Will not seek to solve the origin of life,
but VIII contine myself to common every
day life. Mans relation to the world is
life. The question often suggests itself:
What Is there OF good in the world, and what
can man get out of it? Some people al
ways growl at this world, and are pessimistic
to degree. AT the time OF the anarchist
disturbances, was in New York. and there
was spoken to on the street by one of the
lousy drowsy gang. He grOwled over the
world, and condemned it and its Maker
to perdition. He thought man might
as we'll be in sheol as in this
world. l told him he would soon
be if not in better or worse one, at least in
much hotter one The fact is, however,
that this is the best world we ever saw.
Look at the great c0nveniences and benefits
we get out Of the present life in this world.
Give a man perfect physical and mental
health for eighty years. Let him be per-
fectiy equipped In every way to CRAFTY
every wish he can conceive and then how
much can he acquire? How much can he
accomplish? Let every wish he makes be
granted, and what has he? The
highest ambition a man can have is
self-mastery. and when he is master of him
self he is master of the world. Personal
possessions are OF but little account. Out
world are there twelve whose names
will be remembered 100 years henceP
AS to happiness. how many men are
happy2 and what Ia happiness? You re-
member the story Of the old Greek King,
who was told he would be always happy IL
ne would wear the shirt of truly happy
man. de searched the then known world
over, and, when the happy man was found,
that individual did not have shirt.
'Real life consists of the richest develop
ment Of selt-character. Character Is what
man really Is; reputation is what others
imagine him to be. Both are widely apart.
A mans character is formed by his proper
| tionate possession OF the cardinal virtues.
The leading cardinal virtues are fortitude.

ness and magnanimity."
DIR. Easton then defined what each of these
cardinal virtues were and gave a number OF
| interesting anecdotes in illustration.
Another cardinal virtue is that summed

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 11.-Gilbert and
Robert Coons and two other young men of
Elk Grove, in this county. arrived home a
few days ago after a perilous journey
through forty miles of snow in the Sierra
Nevadas. They were hunting on the Rubi-
con, near Lake Tahoe, and had eight
careasses Of deer ready to take
out last Monday week, when a
snow-storm set in. On Thursday they
abandoned their wagon, guns. blankets and
everything, and started to make their way
out through four and half feet of snow. By
the aid of the horses they succeeded in beat
ing trail, and after four days perilous
adventure reached the valley. Had another
storm come on they would have been lost or
forced to stay in camp, under the snow, until
spring, with chances of perishing. They
intend starting back in few days, to re-
cover their property

LADIES' NIGHT.
A Pleasant Entertainment at the Olympic

Pleasant Entertainment at the Olympic
Club.
Every available space in the Olympic Club
gymnasium was occupied last evening by
ladies and gentlemen gathered to witness
the many feats Of athletic skill performed
by cub members. An excellent programme
of events, interspersed with vocal music,
made the entertainment feature which will
no: soon be forgotten by those who were
fortunate to secure invitations, which must
have been hard to procure.
The athletes who performed on the triple
horizontal bars are deserving of special men
ton, as their clever performance would re-
fleet credit on the most expert professional
gynmasts. The exhibitions ON the rings
were also very mertoritus and the young
gentlemen who participated had evidently
trained faithfully for this special feature Of
the entertainment.
The wrestling by Evan Lewis and George
Miehling was much admired on account of
the skill shown by the contestants. The
song Olympia" sung for the first time in
tie club, was feature apart from the rsgu-
lar club programme, which was highly en-
tertaining. On the whole the entertainment
was first-class and reflects much credit on
the officers OF the club and those who as
sisted to make it success. Tie following

not SO much money about him, and had to
accompany his wife and children ON the

bad predicament, when all at once happy
thought seemed to strike him. He asked
Simmons for loan of $40, which he would
pay back with thanks on arriving at Eureka,
