The insurance compact sent out an
agreement yesterday stating THAT insur-
ance houses signingeit would close their
Offices on July 3. the extra holiday of
which nearly all the merchants will take
advantage. According to rule of the
compact no action can be taken in such a
case as this unless it meets with the unani-
nous approval of the insurance men. So
Il seemed that the extra holiday was an
assured fact TO the thousands of young
and old men and young women employed
in the insurance offices. But at the
eleventh hour two managers refused to
sign the agreement.
This debars the employees from enjoying
an extra day iu the country
The names of the obstinate managers
are Z. W. Carpenter of the North Union
and Royal companies and William Mac
donald of the Loudon and Lancashire
company. Macdonald is Colonel Of the
Second Regiment n. G. c.
However, it is hoped that this morning
they will come in and the thousand en-
ploYes Of the tifty-siX insurance offices in
the city will have their holiday.
The Produce Exchange and Stock EX-
changes closed yesterday, and 80 have
given to the hr 9lsefs AID all their employees
four days rest.
Even people in the Government employ
are going to be given the extra holiday.
Neither tina Mint. CustOm-hOuse nor APP

Permission to close was received from
Washington yesterday and notices to that
effect were Immediately posted.

Two most daring robberies were COM
mitted yesterday. The meth DDS pursued
in both cases by the thieves were new to
The police. Red pepper was used In one
instance to blind jeweler while the thief
ran away with a tray Of diamond rings,
and in the other case the unhappy dealer
in gems went TO lodging-house and
placed several very valuable precious
stones in the hands of thief, who ran
away with them.
Late yesterday afternoon young man
visited the store of II. G. Ahler at
Kearny street and asked to see some dia-
mond rings. A tray filled with sparkling
crcets was placed before him. and after
expressing his admiration Of several rings
he told the clerk to send them to his
mother at the Victoria Hotel. 1006 Pine
street. The unknown purchaser said that
his mother would choose the jewels she
wanted. The clerk went to the honse and
handed the gems to % young man, who
straightway disappeared. 49, So. $,
Ii is believed that he ran through the
house and made his exit through an alley
in the rear. The lost jewels are valued at

James Moran. assistant lighthouse
keeper NJ AlcatraZ Island. cut his throat
in an clubhouse on tbs island, las. Thurs
day evening
From the serious nature Of the self
inf cted wound it is thought he cannot re-

Moran was formerly dry-goods clerk in
this city and lived with his wife on O'Far-
rel street. between LeavenwOrth and Hyde
Only three days ago he received the appoint
ment of assistant lghthouse-keeper and
reported Tor duty at once. So far as is
known among his friends he was happy in
his domestic relations, but the bought of
leaving pleasant home and being separ-
ated from his wife made him Respondent
Shortly after committing the CHASTITY
deed he was discovered by Keeper Leeds
sitting up in an clubhouse. large keen
edged. bread knife lay on the ground be-
side him. He was carried to the hospital
and treated by the army surgeons.
The keeper Of the Alcatraz light has
been singnIarly unfortunate with his as
slstants. In the last four years he has
had twenty-five men under him. but none
Of them remained at the station any length
of time. Rumor has it along the water
front that there was some trouble between

TERRA INCOGNITA.
That Is What California
IS in Europe.
Berlin Has but One Map of the. State
and That is Forty Years
Old.

1t will astonish many Californians to
learn that some European nations still see
US through the spec;acles of Mark Twain
and Bret Harte.- In lecture delivered
before the State Horticultural Society yes
terday. the president, Z. ". Hilgard,
assured his listeners that such is the
fact.
The professor has just returned from an
extended tour in Europe, where he studied
the state Of agriculture in several coun-
tries. particularly Germany. France,
Switzerland and England. In Berlin. be-
fore ecturing to the Geographical Society,"
he could only find one large map of Cali
foEnia, and that was forty years old. ~ he
same elementary knowledge OF California
and her products exists in Paris, ".added
the lecturer
Professor Hilgard is of opinion that
the Governments are responsible for this
ignorance. They desire TO keep the agri-
cultural lab0rer from emigratiLg. Our
English cousins" he added. mot only like
US. but know great deal more about us.
Circulars of the Southern Pacific Railroad
are TO be found both in London and Berlin.
but they are written in too sensational
style and people are wary about believing
them. The truth about our country would
produce better results"
The professor then touched upon the
injury doEe to California trade by ignor-
auce of her products. The only place
where | saw California fruit" he said,
was in London. | don't SEE why we
could not ship TO Paris and Germany, as
well as to England. Peaches are so cents
apiece in Paris during the winter, and the
German fruit crop is liable any year to a
failure"
e. E. Smith proposed that 1t would he a
good plan to send samples Of our fruits 10
the various German agricultural societies
for exhibition. The motion was warmly
seconded and carried. Before the pro-
ceedngs closed E. w. Maslin stated that
the California Board of Trade would be
responsible for the expenses of the ex-
hibts.
A committee of three. consisting of E.
W. Maslin. Professor HilgaId and A. L..
Bancroft, was appointed to consider the
! subject Of P0pulariZing California
Fruits"
Oeher features of the meeting were re-
ports OF the fruit crops in various coun-
ties of the State, which were fairly encOur-
aging, aud an interesting speech by
Professor Allen, comparing the California
fruit exhibit at the Worlds Fair with
those of other countries, the general con-
illusions being that ours is ahead.
a discussion upon the irrigation OF fruit
trees and the passing of a vote of thanks
to Professor Hilgard closed the proceed
ings.

There are several places though, that are
verv deSirably located.
Near the terminus Of the steam cars. on
the north, there is a level plat which we
have been. preparing for new band stand.
This is admirably suited with respect TO
the cars and there is ample room Tor the
required buildings.
Another desirable situation is the
valley just opposite the Olympic Club
grounds. which has lately been levaled Ter
a football ground. There are between SIX
and eight acres available there. 1t is pro-
tected from the winds and the surround
ing hills could be used very effectively for
landscape gardening.

Distressing reports becoming more
circumstantsal are coming from Europe
with regard to the condition of the
German army now stationed in Po-
land. 1t is said that all along the Rus
so-German frontier large bodies of men
are stationed for whom insufficient
protection from the weather has been
provided. The winter has been long,
and in that region still continues un-
expectedly severe; the barracks, has
tily constructed and very insufficient
to protect the men from the inclem-
ency of the weather, have been the
scenes of unusual suffering. Hun
dreds upon hundreds of soldiers, it is
said, are incapable for active duty by
reason of frost bitten limbs, while a
considerable number have been act
ually frozen to death. Some idea of
the misery endured by the troops who
are stationed along the eastern frontier
of the empire may be gained from the
fact that of the total number of deaths
during January, lS per cent. were
suicides. Men do not lightly take
their own lives and the awful suffer
ings that must have been endured by
these unfortunates who preferred death
to further service in the army may be
imagined, but not described. Louis
Advocate.

Farmers are busy preparing their land Tor

ought to plant plenty of corn to do them and
so% plenty OF grain TO fill their grain houses ;
then farmers can always have fat stock. 1t is
easier for q fat horse to pull out OF the mud
than O poor one. Farmers ought TO raise ev-
erything at home, then there wouldn't be so
