LEMON PROTECTION.
EASTERN DEALERS OPPOSING ANY
QUARANTINE.
The Attempt of California Growers to
Increase the Tariff Meets
with . Great Deal
of Hostility.

A New York dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle says:
"The California fruit-growers are try
ing to get the best of US, that's what's
the matter" was generally voiced at the
meeting OF fruit importers and dealers
at 25 State street today.
They're going to quarantine lem
ons," was the cry which had brought
them together and which had risen
from q newspaper report that Surgeon
General Wymsn of the Marine hospital,
Washington, d. c., had taken exception
to the admission of lemons shipped
from cholera.infected Mediterranean
ports.
"If the scheme is to boom lemons and
get the price up l think it is mistake
to discuss the subject at ALL"
Chairman Brown, at this junction
read newspaper clipping from the
Fruit Journal of a year ago to prove
that lemons were preventive of chol-
era, the clipping said
DR.. Misnil of 25 Rue de la Revolution,
'Cherbourg, France, in letter to MIR.
Stanhope, correspondent of the New
York Herald, plainly states that the
cholera bacillus does not like acids, and
therefore recommends persons to drink
water containing the juice Of lemons, and
to use the skin OF the lemons for cleans
ing purposes.
DR.. A. Crombil OF the Calcutta general
hospital and Societe Medicale dis Hopi-
teaux de Paris, also recommends lem
ons, not only to prevent cholera, but as
cure in the early stage of this disease.
Following this WAS the recent diagnosis
of DR.. Bittini,d de Noise an eminent Ital
ian physician, in which the use of lem
ons was strongly advocated.
In the debate which followed it was
brought ont that the merchants OF Mes
Gina had recently agreed not to ship any
lemons in vessels which carried emf
grants. Some OF the importers were
positive THAI the California lemon grow
ere now in Washington were aiming
blow at the importers in the east.
1t was said that the Pacific coast men
were using their influanee at the capital
to have the duty on lemons and oranges
rsised TO 81 box. The duty is now 25
cents, with 10 cents additional on the
box itself.
1t was agreed to leave the question
with committee of three inspectors
and two dealers, who were authorized
to confer with the surgeon general.
Chairman Brown appointed on this
committee Charles Hirzel, L. Conten-
Gin, E, Huffman, president OF the New
York Food exchange; A. A. Manald and
d. Westervelt. These gentlemen will
report later in the week.
Mr. Brown said that the 900 boxes
OF lemons nov on the Ksramania would
be sold at auction this week.

THE TOURNAMENT OF 'o3

The Annual Southern CatifornIs Tonnis
Association's Meet.
The interest OF all our tennis players
and many society people is being CEN
tered in Santa Monica. where on Mon.
day next the annual tennis tournament,
which has always in the past been such
an interesting and exciting occasion,
opens.
While such unbounded enthusiasm as
was experienced two years ago is not
looked for now, it is but just to cay that
a very healthy and encouraging interest
is being manifested on all eldes.
The liet OF events includes all-come-e'
e;ngleB, association singles, association
| allcomers' doubles. association mi xed
Some very beautiful prizes will be
presented to the winners of the various
events. and in one or two contests that
will take place interest runs high. The
match between the Carter and Chase
brothers will probably provoke more
entf ueiasm than any other. Last ear
the Chase brothers, then unheard Of
school boys from Riverside, entered the
tournament and completely upset all
expectations by wrestling from the
Carter brothers the challenge cup. The
latter will use their utmost endeavors to
reverse the result of that occasion.
Mrs. Judge Hendrick of the Boyle
Heights club will probably be the only
lady entering from Los Angeles, and her
admirers who are aware of the magniti-
cent game she has been playing lately,
declare that she will prove a surprise to
Miss Carter and Miss Schumacher, who
have hitherto been hardly called on to
exert themselves.
L. is generally believed that R. P.
Carter will meet with his usual success,
unless some of the northern players,
who have signifed their intention OF
entering should display unlocked for
strength.
In addition to the two Carriers here
now, third, Mr.. Frank Garter, is COM
ing here direct from England, and will
show US how much advantage the late
English style has over ours.
Mr.. Paul Oscanyan, reputed to be
first-class player from one OF the New
York clubs, will also play.
Arrangements have been made with
Joe Daily the wsll-known ground-keeper
of the California club, by far the best
player on the cosst, professional or
otherwise, to play exhibition matches.
Thursday night the always welcome
tennis ball will occur.

ing of D. d. Acker, F. G. Ryan, E

The deceased was aged IS, and has

never before. have they been seen in.
such swarms, darkening the air as
they fit from place to place. They
have,almost ceased to be q target for
shotguns, and are 30 thick and close
together that they are caught with q
dip net like so many fish. One anna
teur marksman reports that with two
discharges of his shotgun he brought
down one hundred and eighty OF the
birds. The News says: 'sThe regular
way now, however, is to get boat
and dip net and go among the bitches
in the old rice fields and dip up the
birds. A gentleman went out few
nights ago and returned with one
thousand, two hundred and thirty-six
birds. 1t required wagon and two
buckboards to carry them all home.
Quite considerable srm has been
