Delightful climate, superb agricultural soil, wide awake and intelligent business men and farmers" were the expressions used to our local reporter by Capt. Anson Clark, of Vallejo, Cal, who is visiting Phe- nix and the Salt river valley this winter with the intention of permanently locat- ing here.
 I've have had hut little rain in Califor- nia this year." said the gentleman, "hard- ly one-fourth of last years rainfsll for the snne period of time, and fruits of all des- cription, hay and cereals will be in demand atadvanced prices the coming year, hence farmers should put in as large crops as possible, for every article raised in this wonderful land will be eagerly bought at even better prices than at present"
 Capt. Clark is California pioneer hay ing occupied prominent position ill the U. s. navy yard at Mare Island (Yallejo) for thirty years, and is well conversant with all matters pertaining to horticulture and agriculture. Our fellow townsman, A. Redeuill, son-in-law to Mir Clark, has been showing him the valley, in company with Miss Ora Bailey, all intelligent young lady from Vallejo. and cousin of Mrs. Redeuill. and all speak glowingly of the beautiful city and verdant valley.

thompson and his wife arrived here Sunday
night alured by the promises OF good employ
ment held out by Mrs Mary Boston. an old
eolored woman OF West Asbury Park. who is an
aunt OF Thompson. They were without money
anu the promises OF employment seem TO have
been without foundation.

Borden consented Accordingly tickets were
bought and the couple started back this morn

While before the justice the history OF the
case was developed. Thompson is an uphol-

MS wife belonged to the same musical organi-
cation and formed friendship. She played the
accomplishments for his songs. Friendship de-
Veloped into intimacy and the two were discov-

AN OPEN POLAR SEA.
Argument by an Explorer That the
Polar Ice Cap is Disintegrating.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
IAN Arctic Opportunity" was the subject of
lecture delivered by Mr.. ii. ID. Macedonia, on
Saturday night at Rye, before the American
Yacht Club. The opportunity" in Mr.. Mac
donss judgment, was the improved facilities
for Arctic navigation that now exists, making
it possible for such experienced Arctic travel
ers as Melville, Greedy, Schwatka, Schley,
Berry. Glider, Norris and Bartlett TO solve the
problem of northern passage.
Mr.. Macdona's travels in search of the
Jeanette have taken him to within 800 miles
OF the pole. After making competent obser-
vatlons from the pilot charts issued by the
photographic Office and from a number Of
captains who have recently seen ice, he takes
the strongly fortified position that the hereto
fore invulnerable polar ice cap is breaking into
fragmentary bergs Of what Sir George Mares
called the paleo-clystic sea. The number of
bergs seen and the fact that some of them
were encountered IN the unprecedentedly low
latitude of 40o north were cited in support of
the speakers disIntegration theory.
Two other significant facts were noted. one
that the ice began to appear this year off the
Banks and two months earlier than usual, and
another that many bergs were seen drifting
to the northeast, thus showing that they were
under the influence of the dynamic force of
the gulf stream, and had been large enough
when they entered its thermal precincts to re-
sst the humiliation which is the fate of smaller
bergs. Mr.. Macdooa closed his argument by
referring to the adventures of the EnglbhmAn
Pike. who, on his recent return from she Aretia
verified the fact that the winter had beeh loue
of abnormal mildneSs, in which he was enabled
to penetrate channels and survey Shore lnfes
never before seen free OF ice.

Col. Ricketts, Bought Lands for a Song
and Sold Them for Millions.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. special to the New York
World says: Col. r. Bruce Ricketts, OF Ricketts,
famous battery at Gettysburg. does not care
now who is the democratic nominee for gov
error of Pennsylvania. He says he is not in
the race. After the war Col. Ricketts,
bought $4,000 acres of wood land on the
mountain here for mere song. Today
he sold 10000 acres of il to an English
syndicate for S2s an acre, which makes him a
millionaire. Col. Ricketts, and his attorney,
ex-Attorney General Palmer, left for New
York today and will sail for London tomorrow,
where they will complete ali negotiations. Ii
is understood that Col. Ricketts, will be elected
president of the English company. and that
the timber will be cut and sent to market
When Col Ricketts, returned from the war he
at once began to buy up unsettled lands in
Luzerne and adjoining counties. He pre-
dicted that the day would come when these
lands would be valuable, but the day of for
tune was so long in coming that he was tempted
several times to sell his possessions for wha,
he could get. Upon one accession be was
so poor that he could not pay the
taxes Col b. K. Jamison of Philadelphia
then came to his assistance, and the military
man aud the Philadelphia banker have worked
together, as Col. Jamison was of the same
OPINION as Col Ricketts,, that the time would
come when the timber on the land would be in
big demand and must necessarily bring big
price.
Col. Jamison has a strip of land which starts
at Fishing creek. Columbia county, and meets
Tickets dense forest of timber at Haryey's
lake. Two years ago the Lehigh Valley railroad
tapped Harveys lake and Ricketts, land tripled
In value. He had an offer to sell then but de-
cllned. Experts say the timber on it is the
most valuable in the country. In Sullivan
county there about 5000 acres and in
Columbia county about 1000. In 1866, when
Tickets hpunn n hltx fh.al LAM

Punishment for Japanese Editors.
From the New York Sun

From the New YORK sun.
The words OF German statesman concern
ing "the freedom of the press with the gallows
in sight" seem to have especial application to
the present state of affairs in Japan. The Nohi-
Nppo, Japanese journal, gave rather
frivilous description recently of the gran
celebration of the anniversary of the found
ing of the Japanese empire by Tim mu
Tenno. 1t poked fun at about everything
done during the festival and in conclusion
remarked with some bitterness that the Japan
ese of Timmu Tenno's time We're abject slaves,
and that any one who should try TO i'm
mOrtaliZe his memory did not deserve the
blessing of liberty. Murayama Kinziro, editor
in chief, and Satakawara Sanya, publisher of
the Noti hippo, were arrested shortly after the
publication of the article. After a long and
hard-fought struggle against the public prose
cutor In the courts of Toxic, they were sem
fenced to four years each in the penitentiary,
eighteen months OF police surveillance when
released and 800 fine. The writer of the OBJ
noxious article, Maruyama Terukichi, was con-
demned to four and half years hard labor,
two years of police surveillance and $3.50 fine.
All three have appealed to higher court.

Keeping Moses Down.

The colored people in a small town in Georgia
had gathered at their church to hold funeral
services over the remains Of woman who had

monies were about to begin when the bereaved
husband, who was a large, corpulent man,
