The City Hospital.

The sanitary committee of the city
council and Mayor Lock wood inspect
ed the city hospital yesterday as
stated in the LIGHT. They found the
building to be in a very dangerous
condition and it was deemed best to
have some repaired at once, the de-
fects being in the foundation. Some
thirty patients were removed to the
Santa Rosa hoshital, and work will
begin on the city hospital 81 once.

ANCIENT NAME OF GREAT BRIT
AIN

Revue Acknowledgment oldest
form of the name of Great Britain is
Ortanis. from which comes the adjec-
tive OrtanicOs, which ia Irish is Crllit-
mech. This last is the name which the
Irish gave to the Picts, once masters of
Great Britain. The adjective mention
ed became in the language of the Gauls
Pretanicos. Pytheas, the Greek navi-
gator of MarSeilleS, who fiouTished
about the time of Alexander the Great,
and is said to have made a voyage
to Britain, in one of his few fra gments
now eXtant, calls Great Britain the
Pretanic island. A century after Pyth-
cas-, a Gallo people-the Britanni-
drove the PictS out of the large pOr-
ton of Great Britain, and established
themselves there. From this came con-
fusion in the minds of Greek geogra-
piers between the name of the con-
querors and that of the conquered is
land. Out of this confusion arose var
iouS and mixed forms. The Pretanic
island became Bretannic, and then Bri-
fannie, which form became fixed, and
has come down to us.

TO do with it, but acting on the repre-

commission will cease to be factor
in the management Of the fair he has
decided to permit his conduct to be the

1t is said that he will defend his re

He will claim that he is yet in ignor-
ance of the identity of the official body
that he is expected TO obey and will Of

A PRINCELY ESTATE.
Milwaukee Brewer Has an Option on
600 Square Miles in Mexico.

Milwaukee, May 1S.-A milwaukee,
brewer has an option on an estate in
Mexico consisting of about SCI square
niles-a tract SO large that if the Mil
waukeean acquires it he will possess
principally of his own.
The property is. what is known as
the CamOtlan estate and it lies in the
state of Jalisco, north and west Of the
city of Guadlajara, the second city of
Mexico. Like most of the great estates
in Mexico this one was originally q
Spanish grant and the original patent
was issued over 300 years ago. In re-
cent times a portion of the tract
escheated to the government, but the
title to the whole tract has been per-
fected through the efforts OF f. S.
Kirkland, mining engineer who has
charge of the Ramos Mining company's
property.
The estate lies around the town of
BOlanOS, where there are rich mines
worked by Englishmen, and the country
Whereabouts is decidedly mountainous,
but in the valleys are extensive coffee
plantations. AS in many other portions
of Mexico one can find any sort of eli
mate he wants in this district, simply
by changing his altitude, and on the
CamOtlan estate there are all grada-
tons, from trOpic plantations of bana-
mas and oranges to mountain meadows
where snow is found throughout the
year. Game of all kinds abounds
There are now on the estate about
5000 tenants, many of whom are en-
gagged in the cultivation of coffee and
fruit, and the rental goes partly to the
government and partly to the heirs OF
the estate. -Four rivers, including the
Bolanos, which is a stream of consider
able size, emptying into the River Rio
Grande de Santiago, flow through the
land.
The MilWaukeean who proposes to
purchase this princely domain has an
option at 80 cents per acre. and as the
estate includes between 100000 and
10000 acres it will cost upwards of
$1,OOO,OOO. The purchase is said to be
about decided upon, but party will
go from Milwaukee to look at the prop
erty before the negotiations are con-

NAY ON THE FARM.

w. f. Stiles, Lake Mills, Wisconsin,
writes Orange Judd Farmer: May is
the planting month throughout the
greater part of the corn belt of the
United States. Along the southern bOr-
der some planting may be done earlier,
but in the corn growing sections Of the
West and Northwest most of it will be
done this month. Whether it is plant
ed during the first or last part of the
month will depend upon the weather
and character of the soil. The Indians
are said to have told the early settlers
to plant corn when the oak leaves
We're as large as 4 squirrels foot They
We're guided by the advancement OF the
season, and we might do well to follow
them in this. There are local condl
tons also which must be taken into con
sideration. Some soils warm up earlier
and planting can consequently be done
sooner. Vines physiology of Plants"
page 277. gives the results Of a number
of tests conducted by Haberlandt,
which showed the best results in ger
minating corn and pumpkin seeds at a
temperature between IS ID and 93 de-
grees; while wheat, rye, barley, oats,
flax and peas started BEST between 50
and 65 - This indicates that the tenn
peratuue of soil for corn must be much
higher than for small grain. Corn will
gcrminate al a lower temperature than
this, bat it requires 4 longer time. IT
we'can hasten the warming of the
ground to the required temperature, we
hasten the growing season and often
increase the yield of crops. The soon
err corn is planted, provided the ground
is warm enough, the better the yield.
There are Il few things which can be
done at this time to hasten the warm
a soil which contains a large quantity
of water than to warm a comparatively
dry one. Sandy soils warm much soon
er than heavy clays. Well drained
land is a week or two earlier than IN
drained soil of similar character. Keep
ches deep will cause it to dry out and
warm up sooner Frequent STRINGS
of the surface will cause the surplus
soil water, which is lower in the soil,
to be retained, and the corn may need
it later. Stir corn land, which was not
Fall-plOwed, as soon as possible after
the small grain is sown and keep the
enough to plant. Do not plow when
too wet Draw out and spread manure
while waiting for the ground to dry.

POURING ACROSS THE BORDER.
French Canadians Coming Into Maine
by Thousands.

Canadian emigration to Lewiston
during the last two years has been at
the rate of LOCO a year. No other peO-
pie come to Maine in such large num-
hers as do the people from the country
on our north. Two years ago the
Canadian population of Lewiston and
Auburn was 10000 souls, now it is r.
600. The fields and woods of Canada
are as productive and in many cases
more so than the land of Maine, but
these sturdy French Canadians say that
they cannot live under form of gov
eminent so eXtorting as is that of the
country now being depOpulated. Tbs
loans that Canada has recently made
have increased the burden of taxes till,
as was figured by the editor of LIE Mes
Seger the other day, wOrkingman
comes out of the year $1S behind in his
accounts as best he can fix it. So the
people come to Lewiston and Auburn
and other Maine towns. A little later,
say in June, all up along the northern
farms in this state will be Canadians
in teams coming over the line to work
in haying. Just now the flow of the
population from the dominion has
greatly increased for some reaSon-One
of those hidden causes that shake na
tons sometimes. Every train that
comes in from the north bears family
after family from the country that is
coming over to us for protection. The
depot platforms on the Grand Trunk
is now trodden by pilgrim feet every
day. They love their native land, but
not the government. Thousands of
families in Canada are now saving up
their money to buy passages to Maine
Many people go back there; but for
every one who goes back to stay there
are two or three coming. They buy
excursion tickets here for a round
trip to Canada, and if they intend to
stay I'D there they sell the ticket to
somebody there who is glad to return"
The French Canadians do not come to
this country because Canada is not rich
enough in fertility said a well-known
Lewiston Canadian to a Lewiston Jour
nal man, "but because they can find no
market for their PREDICTS. AS sooL as
the country is annexed to the United
States the flow of people across the
border will cease, for they will then
have one of The finest lands to live in in

THOMAS HOLDS OUT.

Chicago, May 19.-Theodore Thomas
did not send his resignation to Director
General Davis this morning If he did
it got sidetracked somewhere between
the lamp-post box into which the mu
steal director dropped it and the fair
grounds, because it was not in the bas-
ketful of mail matter that Mr.. Davis
received this morning.
Perhaps Mr. Thomas forgot or pur-
posely delayed sending it. 1t was be-
lieved at the fair today that he would
not send it until the board of refer
ence and control had passed on the
matter and tried to Straghten out the
disagreement and the national com
mission and the board of local direct.
OrS.
The majority of the members of the
national commission want Thomas to
go. while the local board says he shall
stay. The sixteen members of the board
of reference will attempt to decide be-
tween the two bodies.
There is no sign of weakening on the
part Of the opponents of Thomas, and
from the expressions of opinions held
today there are a number of the ma.
tional commission who will not abide
by the finding of the board of reference,
which, if the local board has any in
fuence will favor the withdrawal of
the resolution demanding that Thomas
tender his resignation.
Some of the commissioners are in
clined to make their consent to the OPP
ening of the fair on Sunday contingent
upon the removal of Thomas, and the
local board will not find it an easy mat
ter to change his determination.
By the advice of friends Mr.Thomas
is holding back his resignation and re-
fuses to discuss the matter. One of his
