PRAISE FOR AN AMERICAN.
A Partisan Journals Opinion of Miss
Clara Hunts Singing.

a Partisan Journals Opinion of Miss
Clara Hunts Singing.
In letter to a friend in this city, Miss
Nellie Siddons, now sojourning in Paris,
sends clipping from Git Bias of Novem-
Der 18th, which contains the following
flattering tribute to the talented young
American, Miss Clara Hunt. previously
mentioned in these columns. Her recent
successes seem to fully realize the great
expectations her friends entertain for her
future:
1.-The principal feature of the matinee
given yesterday at the residence of
Madame Tame, the organist, was the
first public rendition of the latest COM
position of NJ. Bamberg, in which that
talented author has set to music with
happy originality as well as touching
Dathos the exquisite "Ballade du Deses-
pere' Murger. The sentiments OF the
author were most successfully interpreted
by NJ, Damoye and Mile. Clara Hunt.
1.-THE unQuestionable talent of VI. Da-
move is already well known to the pub
lie. but Miss Hunts voice was perfect
revelation, and possesses beyond a doubt
the material of futule artistic greatness.
She is a very fascinating, distingue
young American, with contralto voice
of extraordinary precision and neXlbll-
ity. Miss Hunt is studying in Paris un-
der the direction of the wellknown sing
ipg-master, Professor Beer, and yester-
day scored a triumph which presages
many others in the near future"

he had inherited nervous diease. one OF
the severest forms of alcoholism, along
with his million or two. His father was
lone of the boys": but the son is not one
of the men, as is his partner, the steady
mans son.
There are many such examples among
the young men with well-known names,
both of the healthy and of the abnormal
sort, and the number Of the former IN
business is steadily increasing, while the
proportion of the latter is growing yearly
less. Of course, the young men who
don't care to drink" are not aware that
they inherit a want of taste Tor alcohol,
but they do know that they do not care
for it. And their sons again are apt not
to like it, while the other class ENJOY II
more keenly each generation, and so
wipe themselves out or go abroad to i've.
If this process is going on here, there Is
no ground TO doubt that it will take place
elsewhere. And if it does it will solve
the liquor problem more effectually and
nationally than will the temperance peo-
pie. 1t will be necessary only to wait for
the nervous sons of the good fellows" TO
die off and the country will be left to the
others. And they don't treat"
The best proof that treating" is ceas-
ing is the experience of the writer, who
during a year of constant and intimate
business association with all classes OF
New Workers, excepting only the society
men and the out-and-out sports, has been
invited to come in and have something"
only five times. Three of those invita-
tions came from visitors to the city, an
other was from a workingman. For.
unfortunately, the habit or custom still
holds with wage-earners. j. l.. ,.

BOXING TOURNAMENT.
Several Lively Bouts at the Acor
Clubs Hall.

Several Lively Bouts at the Acorn
Clubs Hall.
The Acorn Social and Dramatic Club
gave a boxing tournament at its fine
appointed gymnasium at Fifth and l
streets last evening before quite large
audience. Between the bouts Director
John O'Connor made a short address in
which he reviewed the history of the club
and its progress. He said the members.
by adhering to amateur rules in athletics,
hoped to have one of the best and strong
est organizations of the kind in the State
The event of the evening was to nave
been four-round bout between NICK
Burley, who won the coast middle
weight championship at the Olympic
Clubs last annual tournament, and Chris
Jacomy of this city, member OF the
Sacramento Athletic Club. 1t lasted only
three rounds, however, Burley being de-
clared the winner on foul.
Burley stands six feet high and weighed
apparently about ITO pounds, while the
top of his adversary's head is fully SIX
inches or more nearer the ground, and
his weight little over 130 pounds. The
latter was clearly outclassed, and never
should have been cOaXed into such q
match. He went down frequently to
2VOlQ MS 'Durly' antagonist 1OHS
armed swings and resorted to hugging
and other means to escape punishment.
He got a great deal of it, however, for all
that. The trophy was a handsome soli-
taire diamond ring.
In the three-round bouts before the big
event ex-bantam champion Henry Ru-
bernstein made a good showing against
w. Donahue, eX-welterweight champion
(both of the Sacramento club. Wells
Birdsall and Louis Payen, William Muir
ply and w. McGraW also gave interest
ing exhibitions. Two little seventy-fve
pound chaps, Thomas PinkingtOn and
Ben Sweeney, sawed the air for awhile
ana caused considerable fun.
The best event of the evening, how
ever, from sporting standpoint. was the
scrap between a couple of featherweight
roosters designated as "The Irish Kid
and an Unknown" What they lacked
in skill they made up in other ways, and
it was hammer-and-tOngs with them
from the start.
There was not drop of blood spilled
during the evening, however, and Pro-
fessor Thomas Dwyer, the clubs in
structor, had the satisfaction of managing
much less sanguinary affair than the
average battle over the possession OF a
football.

Boiler Incrustation.

The officials of the Prussian State rail-
ways have for several years beeu making
use of petroleum in order to remove the
incrustations in the boilers oflocomo-
tives and fixed machinery. These trials
have been so satisfactory that petroleum
is now used in every case where the in
crustations are not too hard. Petroleum
is used after washing the boiler and after
the compartments of the latter are COM
pletely dried; the petroleum is applied
with the aid of brushes or injected by
means of q pump. On some occasions an
attempt has been made to make use
of petroleum before the water in the
boiler has been removed. In this case,
the Joaunat ofthe Society Of Chemical IN
datstrteS says, the petroleum spreads uni
formly over the whole surface of the
water, and when the latter is allowed to
run out slowly the petroleum fixes itself
regularly in the porous incrustations,
which absorb it.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends TO personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feYers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t hes given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute il offered.

STATE FRUIT-GROWERS.
a Mass Convention TO Be Held Oh Fri

A Mass Convention to Be Held on Fri
day, the goth Inst.
The State Horticultural Society has
called a mass convention of fruit-growers
to be held at Pioneer Hall, San Francisco,
on Friday, the 10Th inst, at 10 A. NJ, for
the purpose of considering the matter of
establishing State Fruit Exchange for
the marketing of California fruits, raisins,
nuts, etc; ratifying and indorsing, should
the convention so decide, the steps al
ready taken to that end under the auspices
OF the society, and choosing a board OF
representative fruit-2rowerS to serve as
directors OF the exchange for the first
year.
To all persons purchasing tickets from
points on the lines of the Southern Pa
cific Company and the San Francisco and
North Pacific Railroad, and obtaining
from their ticket agent a receipt for the
money so paid, the companies named,
provided at least fifty attend the cOnven-
ton, will sell return tickets at one-thlrd
the regular fare, upon presentation OF the
receipt counJersigned by the Secretary Of
the convention.
Such receipts must be presented at the
Southern Pacific Company's ticket office
not later than Monday, January lst, and
forty-eight hours thereafter. The San
Francisco and North Pacific Railroad will
sell the reduced return tickets up to and
including Tuesday, January 3D. 1t will
be seen that this arrangement permits all
TO remain to the opening ceremonies Of
the Midwinter Fair, and reach home dur
ing the lite of their tickets.
A very large attendance is desired and eX-
pected; officers of the most successful CO.
operative marketing associations will be
present to explain the workings OF their
organizations, and to unite with all others
in the formation of State Exchange TO
perform for all those offices which CEN
trail organization can most economically
and effectively attend to. and to actually
market the fruit OF individuals and organ
lzatiOnS so desiring.
The regular monthly meeting of the
State Horticultural Society will be held
at the same place and day, at 1880 o. clock.
a full attendance of the members is de-
sired, as matters of great importance to
them will be considered.
