A short time ago the HERALD con-
tanned an article recommending pa
tronage of home industries. A late
transaction in a prominent neighbor-

subject. Twenty-Five cents was paid
for roll of common wall paper; re-
monstrance at the exorbitant price,

thirty cents" The purchaser had
better paper at home that cost twelve
cents IN Chicago this spring. He al
so had thirty inch wire screening for

TIE Lincoln Journal a paper that
occupies the same position in Nebras-
ka that the Capitol does in Kansas,
says:
The alliance captured the state con-

egates elected to Chicago from these
states are uninstructed and opposed
to Cleveland. 1t Is reported that they
will present the Ocala platform to the
convention and demand It's adoption
If the democrats refuse to accept it,
then they Will withdraw and present
themselves at the Omaha independent
convention and shake of their feet
the dust of democracy.
In the meantime the straightcut
democrats of the two states are
wrought up to the highest pitch of in
dignation by the threshlng they got
at the primaries and county conven-
tons, by which they are virtually
read out of their own party by the
Vaccinations of a secret society and
threaten to vote with the republicans

Seen In the nIatropolis,

A refuse cart was close to the curb on
Thirty-seventh street, between Madison
and Fifth avenues, recently while the
driver, a healthy young Irishman, talked
to a woman who had on each side a little
chap dressed in sailor costume. Most
passersby must have taken her for a
nurse out with her charges from one of
the fashionable houses near by. After
two minutes talk the woman lifted the
lads one by one to the side of the rough
driver, who had carefully spread a piece
of stout paper over his cargo to protect
the clothing Of the children.
One lad, tucked close under the driv-
er's arm, was permitted to hold the reins,
while the other poked the staid horse
with a short stick. The three drove of
eastward, smiling, while the woman fol
lowed on the sidewalk. The children
were the drivers own, and they were as
well dressed as half the children native
to the locality in which the scene oc'

Hard to Satisfy.

Some persons are hard to satisfy. The
thing in hand is Of little worth, but the
object beyond reach seems all desirable.
a clergyman in Maine, who lives near
the seacoast, narrates an occurrence
which gave him moment Of disappoint-
ment, but which has also supplied him
with very good story to tell.
He had planned a beautiful drive for
the benefit Of lady from the west who
was visiting his family-a lady who had
never seen the ocean. The route was
chosen in such way that not q glimpse
of the sea would be had until, at a cer-
tain bend in the road, the party would
come out upon high open space. COM
manding magnificent view of the broad
Atlantic.
AS the carriage came out upon the
plateau the clergyman turned a beaming
face on the lady, expecting from her an
exclamation of delight; but instead of
happiness on her countenance, he saw o
look of longing.
"Oh," she said, with sigh, chow 1

A DEoAYINa INDUSTRY.
Wine-Maksrs In Napa and sonoms VI
leys Greatly Disconraged.

Wine-Maksrs In Napa and Sonoms VAL
leys Greatly Disconragsd.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Prof. George
Hassman, special state agent of the de-
partment OF agriculture. and wine
maker of experience, with extensive
vineyards in the Napa valley, reports an
extremely discouraging state of affairs
among the vineyards of that portion of
the state. Ply loxera has been making
immense ravages, and 1t is estimated
that in two years there will be no grapes
in Napa, except those grown on vines
grated on resistent stock.
The great and unusual visitation of
temperature during the past season has
also reduced the yield and the produc.
tion of wine in the Nspa valley, which
in 1891 was over $500 900 gallons, bids
fair to be less than 100000 gallons in
1893, and the quality is also below the
average.
In the northern part OF Sonoma
county, which is also in Professor Hass-
mans district, greatquantities of grapes
were left unpcked owing to the lack of
q market, while in the southern part of
the county the grape crop was almost
total loss, owing to phyloxera. The
crop will not reach one-half the usual
average.
In Santa Clara county the same con-
dition of things exist, the promise of a
half crop not being fulfilled. This dis
coursging condition af affairs, which is
general in all but few localities, has
stagnated the wine market. No wine is
being offered by makers, and dealers are
not buying on account of the uncer-
tainty of the future.

THE CRACKER-JACKS,
THE ATHLETIC CLUBS FIELD DAY
WILL ATTRACT THEM.
Excellent Amateur Sport offered on
Thanksgiving Day.-Some Of the
Events-A Lacrosse Match.
Plenty OF Entries.

The field day OF the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club, to be held at Athletic park on
Thanksgiving day, promises to be the
greatest success ever had by the club.
The programme of events will be the
most interesting ever given, and the
competing athletes will lie represented
In greater numbers than ever before.
Each event will witness from six to
twelve competitors contesting for the
prizes, which will be handsomer than
any heretofore on exhibition. The club
las spared no pains it's medals, and as
several business houses have offered
extra prizes, the interest is at fever heat
among the contestants.
The bicycle races will bring out all of
the best riders in Southern California.
In the mile, open, Burke, the champion
OF the coast, will have a good field to
beat, and in order to win he may have
to break another coast record.
The one mile maiden race will be one
OF the prettiest events ever witnessed.
There will be no less than twelve start
ere for this race.
For the half mile there will be
oo icaeb Elk COUpetltOrS, ana
they are all working hard for
the medals and gold stop watch
which have been offered as prizes. The
two-mlle handicap will bring out Burke,
w. A. Burke, Cromwell, Hall, Abel, and
several from outside towns. The other
events will see several new riders be-
sides those mentioned.
The running events will be more in
tereeting than ever, and it is safe to cay
that in the l00-yard open four men will
come under the tape together. All of
these events are we'll filled already.
One OF the most interesting features
OF the programme will be the lacrosse
match between the Los Angeles and Riv-
erside teams. They are evenly matched,
the last game played at Riverside re.
sulting in favor Of the RiversideIs by 3
goals to 2.
TIE game of lacrosse is one of the
prettiest games for the spectator, and
every one wishing to see a good game
will certainly be there.
Last night the entries were coming in
very fast and 80 far there are over 35
contestants on the entry list, several
more being expected BY mail tomorrow.
All Communications will be received by
the secretary. George Beebe, 2261 South
Spring street.
A list of the entries will appear to-
morrow morning.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
CITY LOTS WANTED,

A Petition to the Council from q Glass
Making Company.
A few weeks ago company was in
corporated for the purpose OF manufac-
turing glass and glassware in
Los Angeles. On yesterday the
company filed a petition to
the city council, setting forth that they
have entered upon this undertaking in
good faith and in the full belief that the
works thus contemplated will result in
great advantage to the city and
county, and cause large, prosperous
trade to spring up, and to give en-
ployment to numerous workmen and
skilled mechanics. "We also ex-
pect," continues the petition. "that the
business of the company will be profit
able to the stock holders, for which pur-
pose the company offers it's capital stock
for sale to citizens and inhabitante of
the county at very moderate price, 30
as to enable persons, as we'll of large
capital as of small means, to obtain
stock.
"For the purpose of obtaining proper
facilities in suitable locality, we pro-
pose to select site for our mandatory
on the sandy shores of the Los Angeles
river. where the sand required is suita.
BILE for the common products and can be
had near the works. The city is the
owner of such outlying land
and sandy lots, affording no in
ducement for building purposes
as residences or for ordinary
business establishments, and we there
fore, in view of the benefits this city
will derive in many ways, directly and
indirectly, respectfully ask your honor
able body to grant us the cession Of
such lands or lots upon the most favor
able terms for the development OF this
industry. which in it's results will amply
compensate the city for the value OF said
lots"

ter says the capital stock is $3.50, 900 and
the directors all Los Angeles men. 1t
is homo company, for the purpose of
home manufacture of glass and glass
ware for home purposes and from
material almost exclusively obtained
at home. The cost of construction
of the works is estimated at
$4,000. This is based on capacity of
10 smelling pots, which will smelt 20
tons of material ready for the blowers
each week. Three men work in each
pot, each pot making 2200 fruit jars a
day. The wages of the men are reeu-
lated by the Glass Blowers union. The

So early were collectors in California,
and SO universal was the interest felt in
Europe over the new plants Of the Pa
cific coast, that many trees of sequoias
and other superb conifers were planted
in the parks Of England, France and
Italy long before the discovery of gold.
Wealthy Californians, as early as 1855,
visiting Europe, were surprised to find
how popular were the brilliant ANIMALS,
Towering shrubs, vines and trees of
their own state. Returning they otter
urged reighbors to cultivate more of the
native plants. but with little effect.
In Alameda county, a plain, unedu-
Gated Englishwoman of Lancashire yeo-
man stock was one of the first persons
in all California to make a home garden
of wild flowers from field and hill. l

devotion that she showed to this pursuit.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. ia
bright morning broke on football day /,
and the grounds at Hampden park were
crowded early with blue and crimson,
awaiting anxiously for the time when
the struggle between the collegiate
colors should begin. The Yale and
Harvard teams both arrived in the city
'"te yesterday afternoon. Betting was
slow, as Yale's hackers could find few to
take their money. No practice was in
dulged in. The gambling contingent
was largely represented. The latest bet
ting was to l on Yale, There was
total of $4,000 tickets sold for the game.
The Yale players had the disadvantage
of having seen little or nothing of the
Harvard's play, and knew absolutely
nothing of their strength. The Har-
wards, on the other hand, had been
watching their rivals in the champion
ship, and few of the Yale's tricks and
devices had escaped them. But not
withstanding this, Yale won the day.
The teams lined I'D as follows:

A book, the leaves of which are uncut.
possesses no value of an intrinsic char
acter beyond one that is cut, but really
less. For that matter, if it is to remain
uncut, it is as valueless as it is useless.
There is class Of book collectors, how
ever. who place premium upon books
with uncut leaves, and SO commend
them in their advertisements and cir

certain shelves in their libraries with

Notes from the Office of the Local Com
mittee.
Word has just been received at the
office of the Southern California Worlds
Fair association that the state depart
ment will coon begin the work of pre-
pairing catalogue containing the names
of the exhibitors from California max.
ing displays in the state building, and
requesting that the names of such indi-
viduals from this district be sent to the
main office as soon as possible. 1t is
desired by the secretary that parties
contemplating furniehing exhibits, who
have not already reported, send in their
names, especially those who intend to
make exhibits of citrus and deciduous
fruits.
All fruits of this kind turned over to
the association will be exhibited free of
expense to the producer. AS it is the in
tention to make the citrus exhibit ore
of the main features of the opening of
the exposition, it is to be hoped that
every grower will contribute specimens
of his finest fruit. The commission also
desire estimates to be sent in OF the
number OF cubic feet and the weight OF
tu0 COutucTu OhlllOT0lh 6XQlOlCs In
order to furnish this information it is
very necessary that the intended ex-
hibitors pay heed to the above request.
The chairman of the mine and mining
committee reports that he has collected
in one county in the southern district
specimens that will fill caee 4 feet by
30 feet, and has been over only half OF
the mining district. He also reports
that the borax works OF San Bernardino
county are preparing an exhibit that
will cost $4,000.
One of the features OF this exhibit
will be one of their 16-mule teams,
carved in wood and and crystalized in
borax.
The Los Nietos Walnut Growers asso-
citation eend word in that the 5000
pounds of walnuts are ready, and that
they are the finest that were ever gath
cred from that district.
l.. S. Porter of Pasadena sent to the
chamber of commerce, to be packed in
the dried fruit exhibit, peaches measur-
ing seven inches in circumference. T.
P. Parsons of Riverside reports the
largest corn that has been prepared for
the worlds fair to date. He claims that
his ears will measure 10 inches. He
would like to hear from some other corn
growing district with samples equally az
good, as exhibits in this line are not
very numerous.
