CITY FINANCES.
The COuncilmen Hold Another
secret Session.

The CounciImen Hold Another
secret Session.
Another long and heated secret session
of the City Council was held yesterday
in one of the committee. rooms at the
City Hall. AS before, they were very
careful to allow no whisper of what they
were doing to reach the outer world, and
there hangs over the city offices, the
Police Station and the fire houses an ali
of expectancy, as if every one thought
something was going to drop. 1t was
whispered that there is in prospect cut
in salaries all along the line of deputies,
and that when the Council meets on
Monday next scheme for lessening the
expenses of the city will be presented
that will make every employees hair
stand on end. There were no takers to
wagers that the Councilmen would not
cut their own salaries, and odds were
offered that the last cent in the treasury
would be reserved for paying the full
amount of such salaries before proposal
of this kind would be entertained.
The Council is not unit, however, in
the proposition to cut salaries. One OF
the members Of that angnst body re-.

The Price of Oranges.

Whether the growers make money out
of orange growing or not, it is most Ger.
tain that some one makes lots of it Out
of the crop. AT present in this city
windfalls and other small oranges are
selling at forty cents dozen. There
are fifteen to twenty dozens of such or
anges in q box. That comes to Sc or So
box. The grower gets about 81 to 81 so
box for this grade of fruit this year.
The best oranges are retailing at seventy
i've cents dozen. There are twelve to
fifteen dozens of these in box. These
bring the retailer, therefore, SO to $11.25
per box. The growers get for this grade
OF fruit this year $3.50 to about 81 box,
the highest price being an extreme not
often reached. Orchards that are we'll
cared for bear from two to ten or more
boxes per tree. Three to five boxes
q tree are fair enough figures. Ill
the highest figures standing for prices
and TOR output are taken--fve boxes to
the tree, and $4 per box, there being
70 to 100 trees to the acre, the extreme
profit to the grower would be $4,000 an
acre, and strange to say there are in
stances where even such enormous fig
ures become facts. Taking three boxes
to the tree and $3.50 as the price, with
% good trees to the acre, will give
1862 80, and this is by no means an ex-
ceptional result. If the lowest figures
are taken, two boxes to the tree. 81 as
the price, ,and 100 trees to the acre, it will
give the growers the very pretty profit Of

AFFIDAvITS OF PUBLICATION.
An Important Ruling by Judge
COff0V,

An Important Ruling by Judge
CoffeY.
A ruling of much interest to newspa-
per proprietors has Just been made by
Judge Coffey, who holds that the form oi
affidavit used by them for nearly forty
years, to show due publication of probate
notices. has been seriously defective.
Recently title to real estate was re-
jected on account of the wording of one
of these affidavits of publication. The
practice has been for the proprietor
foreman or principal clerk of a newspa
per to set forth in his affidavit that he
was CLERK Cor otherwise) Of the firm O,
company owning the newspaper, whsreat
under the new ruling he must describe
himself as clerk Cor otherwise) of the
newspaper itself, naming the paper and
not the proprietorship.
Another change ordained by the new
ruling is that in setting forth the thing
published, the affidavit must state the
publication of such original, and not of a
copy thereof. For instance, if the publ.
cation be of notice to creditors the
affidavit must state that "the notice to
creditors in the estate of John Smith, OF
which the annexed is a printed copy
was published, etc., and not that the an
nexed printed notice has been pub
lished," etc.
The new ruling is based on Sections
Alb to 4l5 of the Code of Civil Procedure
which say that these publications must
be lin newspaper" and the affidavit
must be by ''the printer, or his foreman
or principal clerk. - San Francisco

marked yesterday that he was against
any such movement and that he Would
not attend the caucus when the rest NJ
the Council talked of such action. He
was OF the opinion that the best wav to
cut 11cwn was to stop spending money
ia all sorts On directions until there was
money to spend.
On the first day Of January there was
in the Cash fund $73, 1868. Az which should
last until next September, when taxes
again Will be due. In December there
were no extraordinary occasions for ex-
pendlture, and yet the drain on the Cash
fund was $l5, 1898. At that rate the
money would last until May 1st, but it is
said that an extra expense will have to
be incurred on account of the late rains,
and that the rate will 60 over SIS, 900
per month, in which case the fund will
be exhausted by April 1st. From that
time on scrip" will have to be issued,
and the demands registered. This same
thing is likely to happen with the Fire
fund.
On January 1st there was in this fund
$50, ,3l2 az, and in December the amount
Withdrawn was $S,122 90. At this rate
there will be no money in the fund after
April let, and the firemen will have to
wait until September for their pay or
else discount their demands.
| These are the principal funds, and the
others at present appear to be safe from
exhaustion. The Salary fund is replen-
iahed each month from the money de.
rived from the licenses. The new license
ordinance is likely to be presented fol
! adoption at the next meeting of the
Council, and it is said that an attemp
will be made to make the income from
this source larger. It is understood
that various schemes were discussed
yesterday for increasing the revenue o

Oriental Advanced Women.

Boston Courier.
Truly, the world is n in these lat
ter days, and 1t is no longer exact to
speak of "the far east" The latest
proof is the development Of a woman's
rights movement in China, the last
place where one could have expected
1t. In the province of Canton, coun-
try dear to the hearts of all collectors
of porcelain, the young ladies
have formed . society for
the purpose of protesting
against matrimony. Indeed, several
sisterhoods are said to exist, their
ground being that matrimony is per-
nicious to the highest development Of
the female character. They have
had few opportunities to study the
question in the abstract, but from the
experiences which have come to them
within the limits of their " homes
their conclusions have been Of the
gloomiest character, and they have
resolved to have none of IL.
That there Is still something to be
learned by the damsels of the Flow
cry Kingdom before they arrive at a
just appreciation of the methods pro-
per to their cause. seems to be evident
from the TACT that they have no no.
ton of a protest, but wholesale sui
eide, and when recently one OF the
virgin members of one of these
sisterhoods was by her unfeeling
parents sacrificed on the matri-
monial altar, her sisters simply went
incontineutly and drowned them
selves-a measure so violent that 1t
threatens the speedy extinction of the
whole order. If the anne tactics
were to be followed in this country it
would take but q short time to end
the entire band of woman's rights
supporters-a calamity which civiliza-
ton would probably survive, how
ever deeply it would be regretted.
Whether the damsel who by submit
ting to the will of her parents felt 1t
incumbent upon her to join her de
funct companions in the depths OF the
Dragon river, where they reposed, Is
not stated in the dispatches upon
which we rely for information, but IL
would argue a highly civilized state
of selfishness in that she should con-
rinue in the possession of lite, health
and a husband without at least q
decent attempt to emulate their ex-
ample. -.
China is getting from the occident
rather more than it bargsined for in
some respects, and it would not be
surprising il this striking incident
should have some more or less
marked influence upon the decision
of the question already agitsting the
Celestial mind in regard to the FEAST
bility of shutting out foreigners as OF
old. In the meantime it is
to be hoped that the female
population of the land will not 70
any great extent follow the violent
course of these oriental woman's
rights martyrs, siuce it would be
awkward that the rest OF the world
should be laid under contribution to
furnish wives for the almond-eyed
bachelors left lonely and desolate by
the untimely suicide of those formed
by nature to be their consorts ana
companions.
