Even the great freeze" did not break
the steady gain.
From this, comments the Redlands
"Cirogroph", it will be seen that the
Florida crop is estimated by the editor
at 645,O00 boxes less than that of last
year, while the secretary of the fruit
exchange thinks it will be only $50, 900
less.
With the increasing demand for Cali
fornla oranges, and the reduced crop in
Florida, we think our groves will get
fully as much for their crop-per box
as last year, with strong probability of
an advance of 10 per cent to 20 per cent,
especially for fruit picked in May and
June. Don't be in hurry to make con-
tracts

Courtships in the Park.

From the New York Sun;
Snatches of courtship can be heard
any pleasant evening by the lone tourist
in Washington park, who is delayed in
passing the slowly moving couples that
obstruct all the paths, and are oblivious
of all mankind save themselves. Most
of the talk is sentimental, as might be
expected from youth who do not scruple
to pass protecting arm around the
feminine waist, or to hold girls hand
in full sight of envious critics. But
one lover, on recent evening,
had evidently passed the mi
tial stage of sentiment and meant bust
ness. 'I've bought a carpet" he urged,
"a cook stove, enough furniture to
begin with, and wedding ring, and if
you don't promise to marry me next
month I'll-" "But, l will, Jimmy"
broke in the girl, Jimmy drew her
rapturously to him and kissed her
kissed her under the shadow of the old
tree which had witnessed the execution
of Rose Butler seventy years ago, and
with smack that would have startled a
policeman out of his slumbers had one
Of those guardians of the public morals
happened along. The audience of one
took advantage of the climax to tack
away from the vicinity of the happy
couple and went on to his bachelor
quarters with profound envy of the
possessors of the steve. I

PROFITS OF POMONA PRUNES.
Some Facts Chronicled About the
Value of Orchards.

There are several prune orchards
east of own, says the Pomona Times, that
are really sight to behold. So heavily
loaded are the trees that all their limbs
are bent to the ground, interlapping
with other other, so that the whole
ground beneath and around them is
mass of fruit, so to speak. In one
acre orchard up there the trees are
badly broken down, which is more a
pity, becausefts crop has been sold on
an estimate of fifteen tons,
at $50 per ton, or $3.50 for the
one acre. This crop was contracted for
early in the season. Another acre of
prunes, adjoining this one, is equally
heavily loaded. Just across the street
is seven acre prune orchard, which
was sold last winter for $3.50 per acre.
The crop this year has been bought at
an average Of about $500 per acre. Such
are some of the advantages and profits
of fruit raising this year in this valley,
and from henceforth it is safe to say
similar experiences will reward the for
tunate owner of well cared for prune
orchard.

THE DRAMA.
THE GRAND TO OPEN THIS WEEK
FOR SHORT SEASON.
Bits of History of the Stage Near and Re-
mote From Our Time.

Next Wednesday, the Grand opera
house opens in Mark Twain's new
drama, "The Prince and the Pauper,"
with clever little Miss Elsie Leslie in
the leading role. The season will con-
tinue the rest of the week with a Sat
urday matinee.
'The Prince and the Pauper."
For the production of the new play,
1.-THE Prince and the Pduper," there
have been made preparations of unusual
extent and eXpensiveness at the Grand
opera house; series of picturesque.
scenes portraying London in the six
teenth century, aud stage fully peopled
with representatives of English life in
that era, will make the spectacular
aspect OF the new drama uncommonly
attractive. Elsie Leslie's acting will
draw to her large and earnest body of
admirers who will endeavor to give
her youthful stellar debut due impor-
lance. "7he Prince and the Pauper"
is the venture of Mr.. Daniel Frohman,
of the Lyceum theatre, New York, and
Mr.. AL Hayman, of the Baldwin and
California theatres, San Francisco. In
the principal eastern and western cities,
during the past and present seasons, it
has been acted to the satisfaction of
large and fashionable audiences, and it
is expected to fill the opera house dur
ing its engagement here, the latter part
of this week. Elsie Leslie appears in a
duel role, tom CAVITY, the pauper,"
and edward of Wales, the young

@ THE FIRST AMERICANS
Which Were Seen by Christopher
Columbus,

The Lucayan Indians, who inhabited
the islands now called the Bahamas,
were the first red men seen by Column,
bus, says the New York Ledger. In less
than twenty years, this interesting peo-
pie, numbering, according to the esti-
mate of the conquerors, 10000 persons,
was wholly exterminated. The ham
mock was found among the Lucayans,
and both the word and the article were
adopted by the Spaniards, through
nations. Various skulls have been re-
and have been made the subject OF a
valuable paper by Mr.. w. K. Brooks.
Columbus testifies that the Lucayans
were of good size, with large eyes and
broader foreheads than he had ever seen
in any other race of men; and Mr..
Brooks says this agrees perfectly with
the results he has reached, the most
conspicuous characteristics of the skulls
he had examined being the breadth noted
by Columbus, and the massiveness and
solidity of the head. "We may, there
fore, unhesitatingly decide" says Mr..
Brooks, "that they are the remains OF
the people who inhabited the islands
at the time of their discovery, and
that these people were a well-marked
type OF that North American Indian race
which was at that time distributed over
the Bahama islands, Hayti, and the
greater part OF Cuba. As these islands
are only few miles from the peninsula
of Florida, this race must at some time
have inhabited at least the southeast
ern extremity of the continent, and it is,
therefore, extremely interesting to note
that the North American crania which
exhibit the closest resemblance to those
from the Bahama islands have been OBJ
tanned from Florida.

TRADE IMPROVING.
The Guileless Drummer Here in Large
Numbers.

'There goes the ninth man who has
arrived here this afternoon and wanted
sample rooms. The way that drummers
are coming in here does not indicate
hard times or slow collections. It looks
as If j0Dbers in San Francisco and east
ern centers were very anxious to get
hold of local trade 1t has been this
way for six or eight weeks, more drum
mers than you can count" and clerk
Burns of the Nadeau, sent up pack of
cards and the chips to the room OF the
ninth man, in answer to card brought
down by the bell boy.
1t was the same at the other hotels
all reported constantly increasing num-
Der of commercial tourists. One hotel
man told the reporter that during the
past week he had four men at his hotel,
who had decided to enter the business
field in this city; two were to start shoe
houses, another wholesale drygoods
store, and the fourth furnishing goods
wholesale and retail store.

A man who had clock in his lap had
a seat on car coming down from the

FLORIDA ORANGES.
The Estimated Extent of Next Sea
sons CroD

Over three weeks ago we sent out pos
tai cards to prominent growers in all the
counties, asking for close estimates of
the crop in their own neighborhood,
states the Florida Farmer. Nearly all
responded. Taking last seasons crop
as the basis, we figure out the following !:
Percentage of next years crop, ......... 09.S1

percentage of old trees killed ito the
roots Observation-Disclosures. 1.27
Percentage of new groves set out ton the

Last seasons crop was about 2,150, 900
boxes. This would make the coming
crop l,505, 900 boxes.
Mr.. P. Turner, secretary of the fruit
exchange, estimates 1t at 100000
boxes. In support of this estima he
gives the following figures:

of revelry, how many of them will re-

Judge Thurman took part, while the
"boys in blue" were facing Democratic
bullets at the front? This is the truth
full story:
There were a great many Confeder-
ate prisoners IN Columbus IN the lattCr
days OF the war, and Judge Thurman
invited number OF rebel officers on
parole TO ball at his house, which WAS
then located on South Highest, where
his law Office now is. 1t was the night
that the Crisis newspaper Office was de-
stroyed by mob, and, unluckIy Tor
Judge Thurman, the infurlated rioters
heard of the kind Of guests ne WAS en-
tertainiug. They were mostly Union
soldiers home on furlough. After they
had smashed the printing Office the mon
procured n small cannon and advanced
upon the Thurman residence. The gun,
loaded with grape, was trained upon
the house where the Confederates were
having good time, and the fuse was
already lighted when Colonel Jack
Skiles, Provost Marshal, came upon the
scene, and succeeded in persuadIng the
mob to disperse. That's how near II
was to a full-hedged castrophe."
