"ONLY A LITTLE PATCH"
California Farmers Begin to Feel Re-
stricted in Areas.
Especial CorrespoDdencc.l

Especial Correspondence
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-"Despise not
the day Of small things" is not the motto
of California farmers.
In fact the only small things any class in
this state seems todespise are small prices
and small eyed Mongoiians.

the coastrlints Of encroacning population.
The grand ideas OF space and unreStrained
freedom which the older generations here
enjoyed are passing away. The California
conception was aptly illustrated the other
day by the words of q farmer whose acres
run into the thousands. The unusually
heavy rainfall last winter, together with
the melting mountains of snow, resulted in
disastrous floods in the Sacramento and
other valleys this summer. The farmer was
bemoaning his losses in the flooded valley.
Hesaid that all his wheat was ruined except
"one little patch" This excited my sym
pGthy, and I expressed the hope that his
Gt:Io patch would yield grain enough to
iiGe him over the coming winter. l asked
how much he had left. He replied that he
only had about 2.700 acres of wheat that
would be worth harvesting.

A Trying Ordeal in Csylon TO Detect .
Culprit from Several Suspects.
Recently tho district judge at KAlatRra,
Ceylon, had before him three persons. in
cluding. village hsssdman, charged with
causing gEevous hurt to four others by
requiring them to plunge their right hands
into a caldron. of boiling OIL. The modical
evidence described the hands as baing In "a
seddsn, suI>puFssiRs condition, +" the fingers
being IN Some cases deformed In all
cases the injured persons were unable TO
follow their ordinary avocations for about
: month.
The facts of the case, a. stated in the
Judgment, were tlase: A woman In the
viIlSgehad sonas piembGgo aud rice stolen
from her; hea0rnAn made inquiry, and
falling to obtain clew 10 the thief an
nounced that IL would be necessary on the
third day TO hold an ordeal by boiling oil
This appears 90 be not uncomnon Gus
tom in remote parts Of the country, and
formalitiss are as follows; Some oil from
newly gathered king oocoanuts Is manu-
factured by one Of ths friends Of tho COM
plainant. This is poured into a ealdron
and heated to boiling point. Each of the
Eusp%Oted parties is Supposed 10 dip his
hand into the vessel OF boiling oil and is ut
hberty TO sprinkle as much Of the hot oil
as ne brings up with his fingers on the per
son Of the complainant, who stands close
st hand. An exclamation OF pain on the
part of the suspected person is construed
into an admission of guilt. IL no such ex-
clamation is made the innocence of the
party IS supposed 20 be established.
In the present case the evidence estab-
hshed that the pressure on the accused was
not merely moral; that they were forced
to dip their hands into the burning oil
No force seems to have been used in bring
ing them to the scene Of the ordeal. They
collected there In response TO the orders Of
the beadInan, who, seated on "A platform
opposite the vessel Of oil, appears 70 havo
acted as the presiding judge. Each of tho
compisInants deposed 10 the fact that he
was reluctant 10 submit to the ordeal. but
was forcibly dragged up 70 the caldron by
the other rvO accused and his hands
plunged into the boiling OIL They had
sufficient self control 10 abstain from call
ing out, except boy OF II, who cried out
Justify and was thereupou pronounced tho
guilty one. The judge took the fact that
it was a custom into account, but refused
to dismiss the prisoners with a warning.
az suggested by their counsel He fined
them 100 rupees each, with the alternative
of rigorous imprisonment for ten months.

THE EDUCATORS.
Interest Discussion in the Various Depart
ment Meetings.

ST PAUL, Mimi, July 1.-THE board of
directors of the National Educational assO-
citation met this afternoon to consider the
matter of the next place of meeting. Invi-
tatiOnS were received from Toronto, Ontar-
10, and Saratoga, \. Y. and an informal
vote resulted twenty for Saratoga and fif-
teen Tor Toronto. The vote does not de
eide the matter beyond recall but it was
referred to a committee of five to consider
the propositions of the two cities named
and decide thereon, keeping in mind the
preference of the directors.
During the afternoon the various depart
ments met for the last time this year but
the speedy approach of the final adjourn
ment showed its effect on the size OF the
crowds very noticeably. The kinder
garten department elected Mrs. EudOra
Ha:lman, La Porte, Ind, president.
II. :. Jones, of Pennsylvania, was
elected president of the department
on elementary schools. The general topic
of the high school as a finishing was con
sidered by the secondary education depart
ment. The college department considered
the question of college administration and
the matter of the raising of the standard
of the colleges in general. There was no
difference OF opinion as TO the necessity of
the latter, but none could suggest a prac-
tical means of carrying out the proposal,
save through legislative action, and the
possibility OF that was doubted.
Committee reports were heard by the de-
partment on industrial education and man
ual training.
Hon. Aaron Cove, of Denver. Col. read
a paper before the music department, adj
yOcating music as a regular part of the re-
Qured school work and the placing of it
on the same ground with arithmetic and
all other branches. The rest of the discus
siOns before this department were of very
technical character.
At the last session tonight Professor !.
NJ. Baker, of Colorado, presented the re
port of the committee on resolutions. They
favor moral training in the public school;
recommend an investigation Of the
White Cross league literature, en-
dOrse the Humane society, advocate
the teaching Of the ethics of politics. ap-
prove compulsory education to a limited
extent. commend United States Commits
sioner Morgan's plans for Indian school
lands, endorse land grants for colleges, de
mand the repeal of all import duties on
books.

The grand lodge of Texas is not slow In
purging its ranks of those guilty of unma-

number rofexpulsions were announced. Yer
non lodge, No. 655, tried and suspended one
of its members for denying the divine au-

expelled the iFreligious member from all
rights and privileges Of Masonry.

is needed to assume charge and issue the
call for preliminary meeting looking to
the organization Of a Masonic veteran as
sociation in Missouri. Almost every other
state in the Union has such an association,
and the reunions are among the most
pleasant of all Masonic gatherings. Sue
cess is assured from the start, and large
membership can be secured in this city
at once, for aside from every other con-
sideration, great pride is felt in being able
to show and to affiliate with an organiza-
ton which requires twenty-one or more
years continuous Masonic service.
