ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand @cres of
land in the heart Of Tehazna County, for the
parpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality and is offered at
nom $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 16o and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay-
ment of interest only for three years, a. which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part OF the prin-
cipRl is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is 10 have five years in which to
pay i've equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
500 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject OF this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this. is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body OF land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

Indian MYTHOLOGY.

A sort of mythology has grown ur
about the American Indian in regions
whence he vanished one hundred years
ago. The popular names of many
plants include the adjective Indian.
Few persons in America say Indian
corn now, but Indian cakes is term
still strongly'intrenche south of Mason
and Dixon's line, and there is even a
plant known to children as Indian
tobacco. The brilliant Gamma is called
Indian shot, because it's seeds are
black, bullet-like pellets. Indian ira
ditions are preserved with a sort of
reverence in the truth. Twenty-Five
years ago local travellers on a certain
road in Worcester county, Md, COM
monty stopped at point in the re-
mote country, reached under a bush
at the roadside, drew forth stone
mortar and pestle used by the Indians
one hundred years before, showed the
relics to any stranger in the company,
and carefully put them back. A whole
neighborhood knew the whereabouts
of the instruments, but they seemed
as safe as in museum,

"She wrote US letter the day after she
left, telling us not to worry, that she had
decided to support herself" said the. cap
tain. ''She took with her 81 800, which
she had on deposit in a savings bank"
The fact that only $22 0O was found
among the woman's effects in her room,
caused the police to believe that her con-
sort had disappeared with the greater por-
ton of the 81, 600 Capt Berghold is firm

Though the Chicago police do not ign ORE
the idea they are inclined to think that the

Their Parade Through the Streets-Some
Proprietors Yielding.
New York, May 2.-Settlements have
been made with the striking walters at the
Union Square hotel. the Cafe Savarin,
the Endicott and the Sturtevant house.
A telegram has been received at the
headquarters of the Walters alliance from
Philadelphia announcing that the La
fayette hotel managers had agreed to allow
their waters to wear moustaches. The
Lafayette is the principal hotel in Phila-
delphia, and this decision is expected to
have weight with the hotel proprietors and
managers here.
The union walters paraded in force yes
terday, though their numbers were not SO
large as it had been announced they would
be. There were less than 200 men in line.
The men all wore boutonnieres and red,
white and blue ribbons, and carried canes.
A brass band headed the parade, and ban
ners and transparencies were conspicuous
in the ranks. Some of them read:
'fWe work 865 days in the year." "Our
wages are SO cents day to support fam
lilies on" ''Delmonico charges "a. 80 for a
canvasback duck and only pays his walters
63 to 80 cents day; Beefsteak John
charges 10 cents for a steak and pays his
walters $40 week"
Manager Walton, of the Grand hotel, Is
said to have notified the walters that
rather than take back any of the strikers
he would hire Chinese. The strikers claim
to have confidence in their ability to hold
out until they win.
A despatch from Chicago says that the
strike of walters in that city for recogni-
ton and material advance in wages for
the Worlds Fair period was inaugurated
in small war at noon by the walk-out OF
the men in two or three OYSTER houses AS
far as can be learned it is the intention to
call out the walters in only two or three
places each day, until every hotel, res
tauraut and eating house in the city en-
ploying union help has signed the agree
ment,

Edison Downs, supposed well-to-do
farmer on Chippin's hill, Bristol left his
home April "a to go to Hartford to pay
for some horses. Since then nothing
has been heard of him by his family. It
is rumored that he was financially en-
brassed, and as he had often expressed a
desire to go to California, it ia thought
he may have gone there. He leaves a
wife and four children, two of whom
are grown up.
George E. Sweetland of Bristol, who
wrote the first account of the abuses at

The one insane monarch who now

of Bavaria, shows no symptoms of re-
covery from his mental malady. am
told, says Paris correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph, that he has
lucid intervals, which are very brief,
and occur but rarely, and it is as well,
for these fieeting CLEANS of reason
only serve to make the poor man mis-
erably unhappy, for while they last he
realizes his own wretched condition to
the full. Everything is done to amuse
and interest him in his ordinary state,
which is that of hopeless as well as
dangerous insanity. He spends his
days in unceasing occupation of an in
significant and mechanical nature.
At one time he worked from morning
till night in rolling cigarettes. Then
he took to peeling potatoes, and BUSH
els upon bushels of them were provided
for his amusement. OF late his favorite
pastime is by no means of such an in
offensive nature. He has taken to
shooting peasants, and will sit all day
long with his gun at the window wait
ing for this new kind of game on
which to exercise his skill. Even this
freak his guardians have contrived
to satisfy without injury to any one of
his subjects. His gun is loaded in his
presence, as he always insists upon
seeing the powder and shot duly put
