Secretary Noble Upholds the Decision OF
Local Land Ohice.
WASHINGTON, July 1Sth.-Secretary No
BILE to-day made an important decision.
Three sections of land in the Visalia Land
District, CAL. were suspended from entry
and sale in 1880 upon the recommendation
of the Surveyor. General, for the reason
that they are covered by trees of the Seq,toia
qigantid variety, some of which are reported
to be forty feet in diameter and from 800 to
400 feet high, constituting a remarkable
and rare curiosity, which should be pre-
served. After a reservation had been or
dered man by the name of George Hen
ing applied to enter under the Act of June
3, 1878, a quarter section of this land. His
application was rejected, because the land
containing the mammoth trees had been
reserved. After he made another applica-
tion to enter the land and that also being
rejected, he appealed to the Secretary of
the Interior. The latter, in decision rem
dered to-day, rejected the application.
The Secretary states that the trees are
regarded as a remarkable and rare curios-
ity, which should be preserved, and to this
end the lands containing them were with
drawn from sale and entry, so that all ques-
tions in regard to them could be properly
considered. Being thus placed in reserva-
ton, continues the decision, 'by compe-
tent authority and for sufficient reason, it
is not in the power of the party to acquire
rights by treating such reservation as of no
effect" He adds that there is no statute
giving general authority to the President to
reserve lands. but the right of the President
to put public lands in reservation, so that
all questions in reference to them might be
properly considered, has always been
maintained by the Courts.

teacher, Miss NJ. Alice Pullman, and hel
assistant, Miss Eta Morton.
The lecture-room of the church was
handsomely decorated with flags, and the
little ones carried miniature ones in theil
hands during the opening march, The
purpose was to give the exhibition patri.
otto character, ii being in the national hol.
iday month.
The pupils were prettily dressed in white,
with colored sashes, and each wore a col

age, the little toddlers showed the effects OF
careful training in their drill, and in all
their exercises displayed remarkable pro-
gress in kindergarten work
The feature OF the evening was Keeping

of the customs of husbands, however, bv

housewife put things in order, nursed her
doll-baby, etc., and had lunch ready for

ADJUSTMENTS.

A goodsized audience witnessed the
production of A Pair of Jacks" at the Opera
House last evening. The play is farce
comedy" so styled. 1t is really but the
faintest shadow of an attempt to present a
plot, based on the personal resemblance of
doctor and lawyer, who are mixed up
in each others love escapades by reason
of mistaken identity. On this fragile
thread a lot of specialties are
strung. The, wit is forced, and the situa-
ton even more strained than the humor,.
There is half dozen of comely women
who dance and sing, and Of these, Mollie
Thompson by her dancing and Winifred
per1or, perhaps the best heard here from a
female performer-formed the chief attrac-
tions. Miss Teliuls Evans, serviceable
and sweet soprano, with voice of con-
siderable culture, added very much to the
entertainment by her songs and her modest
carriage. Master Witmark a surprisingly
strong baritone of dramatic quality, much
pleased the audience and was repeatedly
encored. r. G. Knowles, the leading
comedian, is a very clever character actor,
and his monologues drew out great applause
! the best being w. ]. Russell, furnished
the support. Farce comedy has nothing
to commend it but its utter nonsense, and
its ridiculous absurdity. In these qualities
"A Pair of Jacks is the prince of all.
Short skirts, shapely limbs, comely faces,
dancing and high kicking serve to mainly
! fill the measure of such performances.
But if the satisfaction of the audience is
measurable by the applause and encores
| last night, then "a Pair of Jacks entirely
satisfied those present, and gives it the in
dorsement of popularity.

Successful Ascension of New Air
Ship.

Ship.
BUFFALO, July 1Sth.-Peter G. Campbell
after two failures, has managed to make
his air-ship, apparently, perform the feat of
navigation. On previous occasion large

public announcement. There were few
witnesses, and the ascension was made all
right according to the police, near the pa
rade grounds, where the balloon was in
fiated and the ascension was made for 5000
feet. The ship sailed slowly southwark,
veering to the southeast and turning to the
northeast when landing was effected two
hours later on farm.
This was the most successful ascension
of the kind ever made" said Campbell
After rising to hight of 5000 feet
worked the forward propeller, sending the
ship ahead. then turned the ship about
with the propeller, and when | got ready
to descend | worked the under propellers,
landing on the meadow without losing a
bit of gas. After landing / emptied the
balloon, and the machine was brought
back to Buffalo"
The voyage is to be repeated on Satur-
day, when test will be made under differ
ent conditions

Means of Writs of Habeas Corpus.
SAN FRANCISCO, July lSth.-The re.
manded twenty-four Cinnamon from Mex
leo are making another fight for admission.
A writ of habeas corpus was to-day sued

who made return that the men were not
in his custody, but IN the custody of the
Collector of the Port. A new writ will be
served on Collector Phelps to morrow
morning.

Before the Cloverdale extension was
completed on the Donahue road, and when
the Eel River road extended south as far
as Eureka only, the same project was tried
by the late NJ. J. Donahue, but. was found
to be failure financially, owing to the
great distance between the two termini.
Since then both roads have made extern
tions until at present tie gap to be covered
by stages is only 146 miles, which distance
can be crossed by stage in forty.two
hours, with rest of six hours at some sta
ton on the road yet to be designated.
The Idaho Stage Company controls nearly
all the stage lines IN the north, and has
secured mail contract over the above
mentioned route.
