A Display Of the Wonderful Powers Possessed
by These Unfortunate Foster caz'aren
Of the State.

The anniversary exercises OF the graduating
class at the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb
and Blind, at Berkeley, were held yesterday al
ternooD.
The entertainment was held In the main hall
of the building recently completed, and known
as the Educational Building. On approaching
this building the visitor is at once Impressed
with the severe pIaiuness Of It's architecture
In fact, plainness is pronounced feature OF all
of the buildings of the institution. Yet the SIM
pllcity of their structure, harmonious In every
detail and arrangement, is calculated to produce
a pleasant impression upon every careful Cd
server who passes within the gates.
Within the effect is that OF quiet elegance,
which is produced In large degree by the
preservation of the natural color of the wood
work, the latter being white cedar and vanished
to the best advantage,

Mrs. Him, who was arrested for grand
larceny in Los Angeles, on charge pre-
ferred against her by her husband, Kwan
Kwok Him, was discharged on Monday
morning upon hearing the testimony. The
Justice, however, endeavored to detain her
as a witness in the case against her hus-
band, charged with bigamy, and in order to
do so had her served with a subpoena; but
she eluded the vigilance of the officers and
arrived here yesterday, and is now safe in
the hands of her friends. Detective Cox
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon
and will bring Him to this city as soon as
the formalities of the law are complied
with. He will probably arrive here tonight.

time a teacher in the New York State institution

GREAT ADVANCEMENT
The California Institution then occupied a
60-vara lot in the Mission, near Sixteenth street.
The change from infancy TO its present magni-
ficent proportions surprised even the most en-
thusiastic Directors.
The stage in Assembly Hall, where the exer-
cises took place, had in honor OF the occasion,
been decorated with flags and steamers OF all
shades and stripes. In the decorations flowers,
so appropriate To an entertainment OF this char
aeter, had not been forgotten and from floor TO
ceiling on either side of the stage hung festoons
of fragrant blossoms. Great wreaths OF OAK

Financiers---The General
Quotations.

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The markets on change
were very slow and uninteresting. For the
most part wheat was weak. and corn, oats
and provisions steady. The general talk
was horsey, and the thoughts of the majority
of the members were of the Washington
Park races. The price of July worked grad
ually off to S5S4c and there was not life
enough in the market to rally it more than
small fraction above that. II closed at S6
sellers. At the opening it appeared as II
there would be no decisive action in the mar
ket, as there was little in the way of news to
affect prices The feeling OF the trade was
Influenced largely by the continuous rains III
the Northwest and by the recent heavy rains
nearer Chicago. Besides, export clear
ances show falling off for the
week, and at New York where dis
patches have reported so much taken, none
cleared today The market was steadied for
while by general buying headed by Bodle
and Others but the bulk of the trade soon
swung to the selling side and prices yielded
easily Hutchinson was not aggressive. He
sold, but it was supposed on orders from
customers The action of the market up TO
noon was: July, e67sc, off to So 7sc, and up
TO S64c. Att O'Clock about half the trad
ing force had left the floor for the Derby,
and wheat was weak and at bottom prices
for the day. During the last fifteen minutes
the market gained little in strength and ao-
vanced 14c on the close.
Corn and oats closed at about yesterday S
final figures. Provisions shared the same
dullness. Pork recovered somewhat but
lar0 was rather easier and ribs without
change.

This valley is not only full of histori-
cal "reminiscences, but is one of the fin
est agricultural, fruit-growing and
dairying countries in the world. Here

raiser. The hills are full of high-grade
iron ore and coal, and the valleys
abundantly productive. The climate is
a golden mean, pleasant in summer and
delightful in winter. The water is
abundant in quantity and pure in quail
ity. Lands are cheap, contiguous to
market, and can be secured by home
seekers Oh the most favorable terms.
Come and look over this region, so fa-
vOred by nature, while the growing
crops and grass demonstrate the fer
tility of the soil and the genialty of the
climate. If you wish to make an in
vestment that you will never think of
except with unalloyed pleasure, or to
secure home which will he the delight
of yourself and family, don't let this
opportunity pass unimproved. This is
not the veritable Garden of Eden, but it
