The Tagblatt asserts that Archduke John,
Johann Ortiz, was engaged on board Con-
gressionalist man-of-war in the Chile fight,
and that he is now in Chile, says Vienna
special to the Philadelphia Record.
Johann Orth, which was the name as
sumed by the Archduke when he resigned
all his Hapsburg titles, obligations and
rights, in September, 1889, in order that he
might lead the free and busy life of plain
citizen, has been assumed to be dead since
last January, when the necessary legal steps
toward registering the decease were
taken in Vienna, Austria. He was last
heard of in July, 1890, when he left La
Plata in command of his ship Santa Marga-
retha, for Valparaiso, Chile 1t has been
supposed that the vessel was lost with all on
board in the passage around Cape Horn.
Up to the time of resignins his title Orth

House of Hapsburg, Austria. and his title

The wisdom of requiring the prompt un-

by the Texas Railroad Commission, when

CITRUS FRUITS.
Prospects for the Seasons Orange
and Lemon Crop.

George A. Roberts of Riverside is at the
Palace, and in speaking of the chief indus
try of his section said yesterday that tie
disappontments experienced by the or
chardists in the poor returns obtained from
this years crop of deciduous fruits would
be largely assuaged by the citrus product.
" ] have been all through the Southern
California citrus belt recently" said be, land
everywhere l find the same indications Of
an unusually prolific crop. The summer
rains which have surpr sed the fruit.grow-
ers of San Bernardino and Orange counties
this season have been advantageous in in
creasing the quantity and improving the
quality of oranges and lemons, and unless
something unforeseen happens this year VIII
be the most profitable tire California orange
growers have ever experienced.
Ever since the Southern California boom
days terminated, the area of orange ranches
has been steadily increasing, and the total
production is annually increasing. New mar
ketS for the fruit are continually opening.
however, and many Orcbardists contracted
Tor the seasons crop in advance. at prices
in advance of those Of last year, SO the in
creased production has worked no injury to
the pioneer orange-growers.
" More attention has been given to lemon
culture latterly, and the cultivation of
oranges will 10 longer hold the exclusive
place In the attention OF ranchmen. A
steady demand for California lemons exists
in all Eastern markets. and 1t has been
found advantageous to plant lemon trees in
conjunction with oranges. The lemon crop
promises very well this year, too. and the
citrus men are jublant
An effort is being made to establish
factory where the culls and the varieties of
oranges not commanding the highest prices
can be made into marina lade, as is now done
with the Scotch article so widely used
throughout the world. This will furnish an
opportunity for the disposition of fruit which
may be slightly injured and which ranchmen
have often buried for compost rather than
allow poor samples 10 injure the reputation
of California fruit in the Eastern market
1t will also establish a new industry, which
will prove advantageous to the State in very
many ways manifest to everybody"

PEPPERS FROM CHILE.
An Importation From That Countr
Which California Does Not Need,

An Importation From That Country
Which California Does Not Need.
In the big local shipping and commission
houses may be seen many bales of red pep
pers compressed in burlap, and to some ex-
tent resembling in outward appearance
bales of hops. These are imported from
Chile, and each bale weighs 200 pounds.
The peppers are pressed by hydraulic pro-
cess before shipment, and each pepper is as
fiat as ones hand. During the winter the
peppers sell for from 10 cents to Is cents q
pound.
This is a strange fact and once more Illus
trates the thriftlessness of Californians.
The Chile peppers are in no way SUPERIOR
to those grown along the Sacramento River
and elsewhere, which are now so cheap that
two bits will buy bagful. The imported
article possesses no quality that does not also
belong to the local product. Nevertheless,
tons of peppers are going to waste that
might be dried with profit and sold later in
the season.
There is nothing easier than to dry pep
pers. This is done by simply putting them
on string and exposing them to the air,
when they will turn bright red. There is
no peeing, no pitting and no sulphuriug to
do. Yet not only the Sacramento market
but all others in California as well will be
paying enormous prices for imported Chile
peppers all the coming winter.-Sacramenr

Examination the Incentive.
Miss Mary Muschette, a young and hand
some woman from Minneapolis, committed
suicide at the residence of her aunt, Mrs.
Nancy Brown. by cutting her throat with
razor, says Washington special to the Bal
timore Sun. Miss Muschette came to Wash
ingtOn about five weeks ago, and upon her
arrival and for some time afterward ap-
peared to be in the best of spirits. Last
week she submitted to civil service exam
ination, and it is thought by her relatives
that the fear Of failure brought on state
of melancholy that ended in suicide The
girl became low-spirited Immediately after
the examination, and as the DAYS passed
and she heard nothing from the commission
concerning her papers she became nervous
about them and her health began to fail her.
On the morning of her death she did not
leave her bed until after IL o'clock ana
complained of feeling i'll. She refused to
see physician, however, with the assur-
ance to her aunt that she would be all right
in short time. She went upstairs to an
unoecupied room on the fourth floor of the
house, where she was found lying dead
upon the floor. face downward, and with
the blood still flowing from a terrible cash
in her neck. The razor she had used was
had stood before the looking-glass while she
took her life. From the position in which
she was lying 1t was thought that after
cutting her throat she settled herself as
comfortably as possible ON the floor and
bled TO death. physicians were summoned
as soon as she was found. but their
services were, OF course, useless. The Cor

sent to La Plata, Charles County, Md,

row escape few evenings ago. She came
into The city on horseback, spent the even-

on the highway that leads down through
San joaquin.
Suddenly horseman put In an appear

More than dozen men employed in the

noon. They were there to testify at the in
quest Cd the case of the unfortunate young
brickmason, William F. Mariinke, who was
killed in such terrible manner on Thurs

building. When Coroner Garwood apol-
ogized to the men for having taken them
from their work they said that the horrible
fall of their companion had unnerved them
ana they were unable TO resume their
hazardous labors anyhow.
The testimony showed that Martinke was
alone to blame for his shocking death. He
had himself secured the derrick, which fell
and forced him from the wall. After hear
ing the evidence the COroner's jury found
that he came TO his death from injuries sus-
tanned by tie fall and that death was due
