THE TINE FOR SILENCE.

Have Been Double Extra GiIded.
There is time for silence, but it evil
IDENTITY was not the right time in the case of
the boy mentioned in this old story who
lives in an Ontario town. He got silver in
his foot, and in spite of his protestations his
mother decided to place poultice over his
wound. The boy vigorously resisted.
- wont have no pouitice," he declared
stoutly.
Yes, you will. Eddie" declared both
mother and grandmother firmly. and the
majority being two TO one at bedtime the
poultice was ready.
If the poultice was ready the boy was not.
and he proved so refractory that switch
was brought into requisition. IL was ar
ranged that the grandmother should apply
the pDultice, while the mother was 10 stand
with the uplified switch at the bedside
The boy was told that if he "opened his
mouth " he would receive that which would
keep him quiet. AS the hot poultice touched
the boys foot he opened bis mouth.
YOU" he began
Keep stillP' said his mother, shaking
her stick, while the grandmother busily APP
piled the poultice.
Once more the little fellow opened his
mouth.
But the uplifted switch awed him into
silence.
In a minute more the poultice was firmly
in place and the little boy was tucked in
bed.
There, now" said his mother, t'the old
silver will be drawn out and Eddle's foot
will be all we'll"
AS the mother and grandmother moved
triumphantly away shrill. small voice
came from under the bed-clothes:

yotional exercises and the reading of very
gratifying reports from the society's mis-
sionaries in foreign lands, the letters of

yerts to Christianity was being Accom-
plished

son read her monthly account, showing a
very fourishing condition of missionary
affairs. Two new missionaries will soon
be sent 10 Japan by the society, one of
whom has already been engaged. The re-
port Of Mrs. 3. c. Wright, the society's
Treasurer. showed balance of some $1,000

railroad company. The steamship company
offered as reason for not reducing the fare

WANT A THIRD PARTY.
Plans of the Alliance Upon Ma.
ti0nal Politics.

About two months ago the State Farmers
Alliance elected new officers at Los Angeles,
and yesterday mornings meeting OF the Ex-
ecutive Committee was spent in instructing
the iDcumbents OF the various offices in
their duties.
In the afternoon the Alliance people met
the Executive Committee of the Traffic As
ISOLATION. The two organizations state that
they are in perfect accord and that there is
mutual desire for the admittance to the
Traffic Association OF the Alliance members.
The conservative element III the ranks of
the Farmers Alliance are advocating a
neutral railroad policy, which will be not
dispieasing tc Senator Stanford, and all that
they ask is better local and Eastern rates.
Another faction, composed OF young and
aggressive men. are anxious for an official
utterance in favor of competing road, and
are unwilling 10 accept any halfway meas
ures.
When it was first orga nized the scope of
the Alliance was so broad that it included
politics, business, social and religious feat
ures. The diverse interests clashed to such
an extent that now its members are using
the name of the organization mainly for the
purpose OF Improving their financial condi-
tion.
A State agent in this city acts as commits

The Peoples party has been organized to
handle tue political end Of the machine, and
an effort Is being made to include in its
membership members of labor organizations
and of the farmers clubs and alliances.
The State Executive Committee has been
quietly in session for the past day or two,
and subordinate movements met last night
in downtown office to consider the ques-
ton of political action. All present were
pledged to secrecy, but it was learned that
plans for the next campaign were laid. and
that the first movement will be the enroll
ment of every one who will promise third
party vote if necessary.
Many who have Democratic affiliations
thought that the power Of the Peoples party
could be best exerted and manifested by
provisional union with the Democracy and
by endeavoring to compel by fUrce of num-
bers the adoption of strong free-trade reso-
lntionS and unlimited silver coinage. SO that
each member should Immediately become
wealthy.
The majority favored a separate party,
one reason being distrust of Senator ID. B.
Hill and the fear that Cleveland, who is
popular among them, is to be a leader no
more. The meeting adjourned without de-
clsiYe action

$500. the anonnt he values his baggage at,
which was lost by the defendant company
somewhere in New Mexico while the COM

the passenger agent of the company In this
city, Otto Faas. 90 South Sixth street.
MIR. DaImas seems to have been born
under an unlueky star. and his misforiunes
during the past year have been many. He
was engaged in farming 1500-acre ranch in
California when the floods came and de-
stroyed his crops, HOO acres of wheat alone
having been buried beneath the waters and
mud. Then he decided to come East, and
on the road lost his baggage.
While engaged in entering his suit in the
Pr0nthonotary's Office, an envelope contain
ing two pairs Of diamond earrings, Just
purchased, and valued at $500, mystsriously
disappeared. A long search failed 10 re-

FRANCES SUPERIOR.
j. c. de st. Hubert Says This State Is Best
FOR


FOR Wine-Growing.
j. c. de st. Hubert. formerly interested in
French viticulture and now wine grower
and handler in this State, spoke last night
at 412 Pine street to a fair audience on the
subject Of the differences between French
and California vineyards and wine-growing.
After comparing the already often noted ad-
yantages and disadvantages of the two
countries, he gave the palm decidedly to Cali
fornia as a wine-producing country, and
predicted that with a little more experience
and longer maturing of the wines before
placing them on the market California
would surely surpass France In quality as
she docs now in quantity. He stated that
the French vineyards were dying out
rapidly, and that much of the present
French production is manufactured without
either grapes or raisins and is a chemically
prepared decoction injurious in every way.
California would assuredly supply the
French deficiencies. He pointed out that
many California vineyardists started in
without any experience and tried to handle
too large an amount of vineyard, but that
now these mistakes were rectifying them
selvea
The speaker was quite enthusiastic on
raisin-growing, in which industry, he said,
sure fortunes awaited those who devoted
themselves to 1t, but he deprecated the high
railroad charges, which cut tho grow rs'
profits down too low
