Returns from Walnuts.

Col. Keith informs us that he has
shipped 136,393 pounds of walnuts from
Anaheim this season. This aggregates
seven carloads. The price paid is about
nine cents. This will bring $l2, 274 into
the valley.
Max Nebelon has shipped forty tons of
walnuts. At the same price his ship
ments will bring in $1,000. The walnut
crop of the valley this season will amount
to $4,000.
Mr.. Kroeger gathered 2G0 pounds Of
nuts from one tree. At nine cents this
would be $23.4O. If these trees are
planted forty feet apart, giving twenty
seven trees per acre, the income will be
1851 per acre. There is money in wal
nuts.
r. H. Gilman finished shipping his
walnut crop on Tuesday. His crop
amounts to twenty-five tons, and brought
him something over $4,000. Now that
the walnuts are gone Mr.. Gilman finds
his attention taken up in looking after
his orange crop, which will be very
large. Last year his oranges sold for
$1,000, and he is looking for quite as
much from them this season.-Anaheim

nusslan Customs LAWS.

Our st. Petersburg correspondent
ENDS us curious story of the operation
of the customs laws in Russia. 1t ap-
pears that the British and American
Congregational church, to celebrate the
jubilee Of its foundation, resolved on
getting new organ, and at the expense
of $500 obtained from London an in
strument which duly arrived at Cron-
stadt. But here the difficulties began.
There were forty cases, and these hap
pened to come in two ships-thirty-two
in one and eight in another. Church
organs are practically unknown in Rus.
STA, where church music is entirely vo
cal.
The only instrument known core.
spending to the organ is one which is
found in every trakteer, or tea house,
and is Of the nature of a musical box
with few pipes.
The custom house officials claimed the
duty on six organs, saying there were
pipes enough for so many. After long
negotiations the organ was allowed to
pass through under protest, and is now
being erected under the supervision Of
the custom house authorities Two Off
cials with swords are on duty at the
door, and watch every one going out to
see that he does not take an organ with
him. During divine service the guards
take an occasional peep to see that every
thing is above board.-London News.

A Novel Door.

A novel door, specially intended for
the economy of space, has just been pat
ented. The door is an adaptation of the
principle of the roller top desk and
cover, and consists of series Of Stats
about one and one-half inches wide and
three-quarters of an inch thick, joined
together by wooden spindles, one revolv-
ing within another. In the roller top
desk the Stats are joined by ribbons Of
steel or canvas. When the door is
opened it is wound upon a spiral drum
at top and bottom, and all is inclosed
within the door casing. A three foot
door winds up in roll seven inches in
diameter. Ordinarily three foot door
occupies about fourteen square feet in
swinging, and the new rolling door ena-
bles the builder to economic all that
space.-New York Commercial Adver.

German Treatment OF Russians.

The German government does not
allow Russians to work in its shops at
Spandau. Two weeks ago Russian
woman and her daughter, who had been
swindled out of their last cent by con-
fdence man and were on the verge Of
starvation, received employment from q
petty foreman in Spandau powder fac
tory. They were notified by the direc-
lion, however, one day that they must
leave at once, as no person of Russian
birth was allowed in the government
shops. They were then hustled off to
the Russian embassy, Under the Lin
Aen," whence they were sent back to
iussia. Berlin Letter.

thought how soon he would perish-a
martyr to the cause of liberty. What
Texan does not recall at the mere
mention of his name, the bravery of
that great soul at the massacre of the
Alamo, which happened on the 9th of
March, 1886, only few weeks after he
left us, when a few patriots sur
rounded by thousands of the enemy,
slew ten times their own number be-
fore they yielded up their own lives
None had even hope of escape.
They knew that death must be their
portion and they determined that the
enemy should pay dearly for the sacri-
flee of their lives. Crockett is reported
to have been seen standing calmly,
proudly erect, with his dubbed rifle in
hand, dealing death to the foe with an
unerring aim. Indeed
$50 calamity bore he the brunt of the fray,
The dead before him on that day,
In semicrce lay"
And there he fell-the brave man
who sacrificed himself on the altar Of
Texas liberty, and there his body,
with those of the other martyrs, was
burned aud his ashes scattered to the
four winds of heaven.
The portrait of Davy Crockett, by
Mr.. Huddle, now in the capital ro-
tunda, is pronounced by Col. Swisher
and Gen. Henry McCulloch, who
also knew him well, to be the most
perfect they have ever seen. 1t is the
only true likeness taken from the por
trait by Rembrant Peel upon the oc-
casion when Crockett made his famous
visit to Boston.

A Hard Sleeper.

George Simpson, living near Van
Vert, o., procured license to marry
Miss Mary Ridbower the other day. On
his way home he fell asleepin his buggy.
At Dull's Crossing the rig was struck by
local freight train. The engineer ran
back to where the wrecked buggy lay,
expecting to find the occupant torn to
pieces. What was his amazement to
find George rolled up in the robes and
stuck in a snow bank, sound asleep. The
young man was awakened with diff.
Guilty, and, proceeding home on foot,
married his girl that night.-Philadel-

DAVT CROCKETT.

An Interesting Sketch Of the Chivalrous
Hero and Martyr.
The following sketch is by the hand
of Col. John NJ. Swisher and was
found in the American Sketch Book,
published in Austin, 1879:
After the surrender of Gen. Cos, on
the 10th of December, 1885, the main
army of Texas was disbanded, leaving
about one hundred men to garrison
the Alamo. In January, 1886, David
Crockett. who had left Tennessee,
came to Texas for the purpose OF as
sisting the struggling patriots. While
on his way to the fortress just men

ST. EDWARDS COLLEGE.
A Mag, ifcent Addition Wearing Completion
Out There.


St. Edwards College as an institu-
ton of learning for young men under
Rev. Peter ]. Hurtb, the president,
and his able corps of assistants, is at
the head of colleges in this state and
its reputation as first class institu-
ton is widening daily.
The number Of students attending
increases rapidly and some months
ago the management found it neces-
sary to increase the accommodations
and at once made preparations to
build an additional wing to the Guild
ing in accordance with plans drawn
up by Architect Clayton of Galveston.
The contract for the stone work was
let to Mr.. M. Cough, and he has COM
pleted the work to the fourth story, on
which he now has large number OF
skilled masons at work, and with ia
vorable weather ne will have it COM
pleted in abo 1T three weeks. Mr.
Cough is master work man OF ability
| hnu experience anu his Wolk SioWo '
He built the main buildings of st. Ed
ward's and St. Mary's academies, boil
of which are first class in every par
ticular, due to the fact that he en-
ploys none but skilled mechanics
Father Hurth has supervised the con-
struction OF the building, and if h
keeps on he will be as good an archi-
tect and builder as he is trainer 0
the minds of the youth of the land.
The new addition is II by 80 feet il

make room for about leo additional
students and The STATESMAN hopes t.
see it promptly filled. Then Fathe
Hurth and Mr.. Cough can go aheac
and erect the other wing. St. Ed
wards is bound to be the largest col.
lege in all the land and Father Hurtl
whose zeal, ability anu energy is doing
so much for it, is deserving OF prais'
and hearty support.

Physical Slavery

We are all free American citizens, en-.

the bonds of disease, gives health and

HAzELToE, March 12.-Some sensational
facts will no doubt be brought out in the
trial here, March Is, on the motion to have
ajudgment of $40, 900 against II. E. Suther-
land set aside. Mr.. Sutherland's affidavit
states that he is a merchant and has been a
resident of this place for 80 years. One
week ago last Saturday two men-one of
them United States Marshal Barring-en-
tered his store and arrested him. They
read no warrant and hustled him off to
Wilkesbarre without even permitting him
to communicate with his family.
At Wilkesbarre he was not allowed to
see his attorney. He was taken to an IN
frequented part of the city, into the third
story of building. where his fears were
worked upon in every way Marshal Barring
and Detective O'Brien. After this United
States Commissioner Hahn released him
until Monday. At the Luzerne Hotel. Barring
and Sears visited him on Sunday, and told him
he was in great danger of being sent to the pen
ltentiary for sending hbelous letters to Rev.
Mr.. Donehoo.
Sutherland says he was excited and prostra-
ted, ana signed note for $40 0o0. payable TO
the aforesaid Rev. Mr. Donehoo, and now
hnds that $1,000 of il had been assigned by that
gentleman to United States Marshal Barring,
who, he says, used improper influences to
work" him. Barring denies the affidavit, and
the truth will likely come out at the trial.
