RUDE TO DAPRAY.
A Newspaper Correspondent Calls HI
ParlOr Soldier.

A Newspaper Correspondent Calls Him
Parlor Soldier.
Society young women will remember
Lieut.. Dapray, who was a member of
Gen. Miles staff in this city. AS noted
in the HERALD, he has been promoted,
and the following is the rude, unfeeling
way in which the Washington CORE
spondent Of the San Francisco Examiner
treats of this military social light:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE president
has made another paymaster with the
rank OF major to keep company with his
friend Lige Halford. This time it is
Lieut. Dapray, one of the sweetest Of all
the young officers who have pull enough
to dance attendance at Washington balls
instead of imperiling his life and taking
the curl out OF his mustache by exposure
to the bleak terrors of frontier army
posts. For lieutenant who has done
no warlike deeds Dnpray wears the most
tremendous overcoat in all Washington.
The front decorations of the garment
command not less than 20 yards of
heavy braid, and consist of a series of
frogs and loops that would excite the
envy of Russian hussar in an opera
bouffe company.
On account of his charming manners
and delicate ways Dapray has, for long
time, been chosen to attend to the
social end of the war department, and,
in that line, he is said to be at least
equal to our own Ned Greenway and not
far behind Ward McAllister OF New
York. In consideration of the grace
with which he has buttoned the gloves
of the. ladies that the war department
delights to honor, and the elegance Of
manner that has distinguished him, he
has been promoted to a majors rank at
the tender age of 38 and given the pay
of $4,000 year, with a prospect OF ad-
vance in couple of years.
1t was said that this promotion was
urged by half the bellies of Washi ogton,
which shows how much the tender in
fluence Of woman prevails at the White
House. But for the fluffy loveliness of
his mustache and the grace he has
shown in many cotilion, Lieutenant
Dapray would, in the ordinary course of
events, have had to wait for about 25
years before he got the rank of major.
This shows that in the art of war, as
prscticed at Washington, the dude is
mightier than the brave.

THE WHITTIER SCHOOL.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE GATH
ERING TESTIMONY.
The Evidence So Far Taken Is Favor
able to the Management OF the
School-Witnesses who
Were Heard.

The special committee appointed by
the senate to investigate the affairs oil
the reform school were at Whittier
yesterday examining witnesses in rela-
ton to the school from its erection to
the present time. All of the testimony
was favorable to the management of the
school. Among those examined were
Gen. E.. P. johnson, DR.. Lihdley, A. E.
Pomeroy, H. q. Osborne, r. B. Young,
three of the trustees, the contractor, the
matron and the Catholic priest who
visits the school.
Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Biggy conducted
the examination entirely, Mr.. Everett
being absent in the north. Col. II. G..
Otis, the committee stated. will be ex-
amined some time this afternoon.
Mr.. Arms has been mentioned incor-
rectly as being member of the Whit
tier investigation committee in place of
Mr.. Everett.
The committees are endeavoring to
complete their work here in Aime to
leave for Sacramento by tomorrow at
the latest. The discussion of the bill
offices of railroad commissioners has
been set for O'Clock tomorrow after
noon. This will occupy the entire after
noon, and as Wednesday is legal holi-
day, the vote cannot be taken before
Thursday, and probably later. This
will give the members at present in
Southern California ample time to reach
Sacramento in time for the voting. As
the bill is one OF the most important
that has been before the senate this ses-
sion, all of the members desire to cast
their votes in person.
The lieutenant-governor has been
telegraphed by Senator Mathews to wire
the members here in regard to the
length of time they can remain in
Southern California before they will
have to leave for Sacramento. An an

FIFTY YEARS A BISHOP.

The Roman Catholic chur ches all
over the world yesterday celebrated a
Jubilee which commemorated the conse-
Grafton of Pope Leo XIII. as bishop
fifty years ago. This venerable ecclesi-
astic is now in his eighty-fourth year.
No man of his day stands higher as a
man than this admirable successor of
st. Peter. His exemplary life, signal
accomplishments and profound wisdom,
are conceded on all hands, no intelli-
gent Protestant being dissidenteas to
any Of these claims, that may be justly
made for him. His pontificate is con-
ceded to be an epoch in the long line of
the popes. He is affirmatively and de-
cisively democrat, and his warm sym
pathy with the republics Of France
and of the United States has puz-
zled and annoyed the dynasties of
Europe. No man more than Leo
has sympathized with the evolution of
self-government in France, and the fre-
quency and cordiality of his expressions
Of friendship for the Republican giant of
the west, have been manifest on every pos
sible occasion. The Catholic church in
the United States, as represented by
those OF it's leaders who enjoy the conf
dence of Pope Leo, has shown itself to
be in line with our finest national i'm
pulses. The whole world felicitates an
old gentleman whose life has been
l.
generous and noble, and whose ex-
tended career, far beyond the ordinary
span of life, has been benefcent. One
and all, irrespective of creed, they feel
like re-echoing the refrain of the hymn
which has been composed in his honor
by a great musical genius, and which
runs, "Viva LeoneW

powers then stepped in and some sort of
compromise was made by which Ma
lietos was restored to the throne. But
in his case. as in the case of the English
king, uneasy rests the head that wears
a crown" He has had no peace, but
has been constantly harasssd with up.
risings of his enemies. That is not the
worst of it, however, for adventures and
traders, taking advantage of the igno-
rance of the natives, have impoverished
the country, and now a hurricane has
swept the islands and destroyed the
bread fruit trees upon which the natives
largely depended for food. Even
the chief town of the group,
Apia, has been sued for $3.50, and
would have been stripped of all its pub
lie property to satisfy the judgment of
the court had not benevolent gentle
man come forward and taken it up. If
the experience the natives of Samoa
have had of protection from foreign pow
ers is to be repeated in Polynesia, we'll
may they wish that the vsunted civilizs-
ton OF the west may be kept at home.
They will reason, and rightly, too, that
they had better eat each other up, as in
the good old days of cannibalism, than
to be eaten up themselves by the greedy
foreigners who have come to rule over
the destinies of their islands.

WHEN we consider that the hotel ac-
commodations have been greatly multi
piled in our suburban towns and that
we have much larger number of regu-
lar hotels in this city than we had
during the boom, the statement that
there are more people in Los Angeles
now than there ever were before is not
far from the truth. especially when it is
added that all these outside and inside
hotels are filed with guests. The mi
nor hotels are doing land-office busi-
ness, and furnished rooms are snatched
up as soon as bills are placed on their
windows; so that with all this increased
accommodation and its ready occupancy
we should not be astonished If Los
Angeles never came within twenty
thousand of her present actual popula-
ton.

THE BENTLEY CASE.

1t VIII Probably Be Postponed Until
Tomorrow.
1t was understood last evening from
Attorney Hayford, managing counsel,
that an arrangement has been made for
the continuance of the examination OF
Henry Bentley, charged with the MUIR
der of Mrs. Nordholt-B Bentley, until
Tuesday morning. The examination
was adjourned Saturday noon until this
morning at 8 80 O'Clock. If the arrange
ment has been perfected motion for
the continuance will be made this
m orning.
The prosecution still has several ex-
pert witnesses whom they propose to
examine before closing. The case is
still attracting widespread interest and
it is intimated that there is some testi-
mony from San Francisco which may
have an important bearing, although it
ia not likely that it will be put in upon
the preliminary examination.

THIS country never looked more beau
tiful than it does now. The hills in this
immediate vicinity and the mountains
in the distance form picture as delight
full to the eye as any landscape that. was
ever impressed upon the Imagination oi
the painter in his most ecstatic moods.
Everywhere nature is adorned in her
richest garb. The season is one of un-
exampled possibilities to the farmer.
The seeded grain fields are coming forth
in all their glory of luxuriant growth,
and the orchards are teeming with the
bulging germs of promise or the golden
spheres of the matured fruition. There
never was 30 wide an acreage of plowed
and seeded ground seen in this lower
country, and the crops of 1898 will be, be-
yond comparison, the heaviest ever har-
vested. The weather is delightful, and
no people under the sun have more
cause for rejoicing than the people whose
happy lot is cast in this supremely ia
vored section.

A BIG CROP.

An Orange Grove Which Is a Veritab1e
Bonanza.
The crop of oranges on the 17-year-old
trees in R. F. Houses seeding orchard
(out on Ellen street) is we'll worth going
to see this season. There are a few
trees that have, by actual count, over
1000 oranges upon them, and there are
over 100 trees that will bear about seven
boxes OF fruit to the tree. Our eastern

California orange land is too high and
out of all reason, are respectfully asked
what they consider such an orchard as

are literally hundreds of acres of orange
orchards in this region that will this

on the investment, and some that will
pay over 40 per cent.

"A WORLDS FAIR SENSATION

superintendent Wells of the Horticul-
turaI Department Resigns.
G. M. Wells, superintendent of the
horticultural department of the Califor-
MIA worlds fair exhibit. created conster-
nation among the fair commissioners
several days ago by rendering his resign
alton, says Saturdays San Francisco
Examiner. In his communication to
the board Mr.. Wells simply stated that
he wished to be relieved from the posi-
ton of chief of the horticultural depart
ment, without assigning any reason for
his desire to withdraw.
The matter was considered by the
board in executive session Thursday and
again at yesterdays session, which was
also held with closed doJrs, and every
precaution was taken to prevent the
press representatives from obtaining
any information concerning it. When
the fact that the resignation had been
rendered leaked out several members
of the commission were interviewed but
declined at first to either affirm or deny
the truth of the rumor, but finally ad-
mitted that it had been presented.
Mr.. Wells was seen after the meeting

had been heard OF outside. II am not
at liberty to make any statement at
present." he said. "There is dissatisfac-
ton in the Office. That is all can say.
Not with the commissioners, however.
My relations with them have been very
pleasant. If you want any further in
formation see Mr.. Hatch"
Commissioner Hatch, when inter-
viewed, said: 81 have nothing for pub
lication in regard to Mr.. Wells resigna-
tion."
President Phelan and Secretary
Thompson were also seen, and both de-
clined to make any statement.
No action has been taken by the com.
mission. The withdrawal of Mr.. Wells
would have disastrous effect upon the
horticultural display, and it is under
stood that the commissioners are making
strong effort to induce him to recon
slider his determination, and have de-
ferred action on his resignation hoping
he will withdraw it.

THE county division bills have greatly
retarded business in the legislature.
The friends of the several measures have
crowded the lohbies and persistently
button-holed the members, and have
made themselves a good deal of an OBJ
struction to the course of general legis-
lstion. In view of these facts strong
disposition has developed itself to take
up all the new county bills and get
them out of the way. 1t is evident that
unless this kind of legislation is taken
out of the legislature by the adoption of
plan to produce county division by a
uniform system that will refer to the
people OF the counties sought to be di-
vided the whole question, the term of
the sessions will be found hereafter all
too short for the successful transaction

RIVERSIDE.
Editor Plaisted Talks About tho Thriv

Editor Plaisted Talks About the Thriv-
| Ing CITY.
+. Mark R. Plaisted, editor of the River
side Enterprise, was in the city last
evening. Mr.. Plsisted conducts 9
Democratic morning daily at the metro
polls of the orange country and has all
along been an active Democrat. He
wants to be postmaster. Mr.. Plaisted
is strongly endorsed for the position and
is undoubtedly qualified to fill 1t should
he be fortunate enough to be named by
Mr.. Cleveland.
In conversation with q HERALD re-
porter last evening Mr.. Plaisted said !:
The all-absorbing topic of conversation
with us at present is Riverside county,
now pending before the state legislature.
The bill is now before the assembly
for the second reading, and received a
favorable report from the committee on
counties and county boundaries, and
passed the senate by an overwhelming
vote.
The popularity and good reasons for
the passage of the bill have been enumer-
ated in the columns of the HERALD, and
its numerous readers are doubtless well
informed on the merits of the case.
The orange crop will be fully 1000
cars, and it is the finest crop in quality
and appearance ever produced in the
valley. Up to the present time about
200 cars have been shipped, mostly to
San Francisco and other northern points
on the coast. The weather is 60 severe
in the east that the fruit shippers have
very little call for present delivery. The
principal shipping point east is Chicago.
and that point ION account of the worlds
fair) will probably receive fully half Of
the crop shipped east this season.
Prospects for an immense crop of hay
and grain were never better. The en-
tire proposed Riverside county from the
city so miles east to San Jacinto and
from San Jacinto to Temecula is a soil
field of grain, and it is all looking we'll.
five have another good rain within the
next two months that section will have
the largest grain crop in her history.
The grain is mostly barley and is eagerly
sought by the large eastern brewing as
sociations and brings the highest mar
ket price.
ga short time ago a building boo m
struck the city and number of hand
some blocks, among them the Evans,
costing 100000; Rubidoux, Frost,
Hayt, Chalmers and Frederick blocks,
were erected. To a casual observer it
looked as if it would be gre atty over
done, but it is almost impossible to Sc
cure good store room in the city at the
present time. Real estate values, es-
pecially in business property, are rapidly
increasing.
Eyes, sir; county division will be a
big thing for Riverside, but if we should
not get it the immense orange crop will
make good, prosperous times in River
side."
