INFORMATION SEEKERS.
Inquiries About California's Resources
are Daily Increasing.

are Daily Increasing.
That there is at the East continually
growing interest in the capabilities of this
State, resulting from its exhibit at the
Columbian Exposition, is evidenced by
the increase in inquiries of that sort at the
office of the Secretary of State. Daily
there arrive letters asking for literature
prepared TO give information on various
points of interest, but there is at present
nothing IN that line except The agrlcultu-
raj and horticultural reports.
An appropriation was made by the last
Legislature for the compiling and print
ing of 100000 copies of q book on the re-
sources Of California. The edition was
printed and sent on TO Chicago for dlstfl-
button, only about 100 copies being re-
tanned here. These have long ago been
exhausted, and an effort was made by the
Secretary OF States Office to find out
whether those which were sent TO Chi
cago were all distributed, in order that If
some were left they might be made avail
able for present use.
a letter to the gentleman having charge
of the edition was returned, not having
been delivered, and the others connected
with the distribution of the book seem to
know nothing of what became of the sur
plus copies, if any there were.
1t would seem worth while that some
thing IN the shape of reliable literature
should be available TO give seekers after
information some knowledge Of the Won
dertul resources of our State, for it is be-
coming more and more evident that
knowledge on these points is all that is
needed to induce q desirable immigra-
ton to our coast.

ALL FOR CHARITY.
Calvary Baptist Church Organizes a
Relief Association.

Calvary Baptist Church Organizes a
Relief Association.
The congregation of Calvary Baptist
Church, deeming it part of their Christ
ian duty, have organized systematic re-
lief association, and will hold meeting
and entertainment at that church on
Monday evening next to further the
work. The entire proceeds of the enter
tainment are to go in that direction. The
scheme is to canvass the city thoroughly
for gifts of clothing, provisions, medi-
cines and household necessities, and
money where parties will give.
The accumulation of goods and means
will be carefully scheduled, checked and
entered and guarded by proper book
keeping. Then certain committees. un-
der direction of the deacons, will dis
tribute the goods among the poor of the
city, W which another branch of the workers
will have listed after careful examination
into each case and verihcation of the
worthiness of the party to be relieved.
No money will be given to any one. ex-
cept that now and then some may be
used III extreme cases to pay rental where
the sick and helpless are in danger of
eviction.
The Howards and authorities will be
consulted, with a view to guard against
imposition, and systematic precautions
taken TO prevent any distribution of goods
that will encourage pauperism. The peo-
pie Of the congregation believe that indis-
criminate charity is, nine times out of
ten, misapplied charity; that system is
needed to enable the gifts Of the liberal to
be well applied to the relief of the worthy
poor.
The scheme is broad one, and it is not
to be confined by sectarian lines, creeds
or beliefs. 1t is proposed to evolve, if
possible, a regular system for relief to
supplement and aid such work as the
Howards have so many years carried on.

The nineteen hobos rounded up by the
police the other night were tried by Judge
Buckley yesterday, all but two of them
pleading guilty. George Hebber, George
Davis and Frank Donnelly were sent to
the County Jail for twenty days, the
police stating that they are petit larceny

guilty has only one leg, and is very abus-
i've when begging unless his requests are
complied with.
While those who had pleaded guilty
had s three-months' sentence imposed
upon them and commitment withheld in
order to allow them to leave town, these
two changed their minds, pleaded guilty
and received the same sentence. They
all promised to leave Immediately. There
are a large number of tramps in town,

A UNIQUE FAMILY.
Christmas Tide Among the Feeble
Minded Children.

Christmas Tide Among the Feeble
Minded Children.
Up in the Sonoma hills there is a
unique family to whom once every year
the good people Of the State open their
hearts (and their pocket books. The
little folk have come to their mountain
home from all parts of the State, in the
hope that a terrible af1liction-that of a
clouded and darkened mind-may, by
the magic of human care and professional
skill, be banished from them forever.
With some this hope viii be realized, but
most OF them must look to eternity for
the cure. And yet they are happy, in the
sense that children are happy, because of
their abiding innocence.
In this home there is, to many, a
strange commlngllng OF dwarfed statures,
immatured features, eyes lighted by
flickering intelligence, unsteady gaits
and incongruous sights and sounds. The
members OF this family, however, see no
sadness IN these things, tor many willing
hands are ever busily engaged in making
the rough places smooth Tor them, and
all crooked ways straight.
So far as il is possible 10 do so their
childish whins and desires are responded
10 in such a manner rs to serve, through
the operations OF the senses, as u species
OF education whereby they may be rem
dered not only happy and comfortable
but progressive, seIt-reliant and intelh-
gent.
one thing that they share in common
with other childron IS the glorious iestl-
val OF Christmas tide. They have the
same longings lofteu intensified by some
mental 'twist'') for toys, games, candy,
picture books, dolls and the rest that go

in these lines depends solely upon the

Amelia j. Chadwick.
John Meyer and wife have commenced
suit in the Superior Court by their attor-
neys, Holl IL Dunn, against Amelia Chad
wIck for damages in the sum of 81, 800 for

gene Pratt, boy L years of age, to swear
to a complaint charging Mrs. Meyer with
the commission OF a criminal misde-
meanor. and caused her arrest and inn
prisonment therefor.

lice Court. but the plaintiffs claim that
the arrest and prosecution of Mrs. Meyer
so injured her in the estimation of her
friends and the public as to cause dam

GENESIS OF T,1e olrAMsOAT.
Ancient Craft That Foreshadowed the

Ancient Craft That Foreshadowed the
Modern Greyhounds of the Sea.
The first steamboat was built by Den
mis- Papin, who navigated it safely down
the Fulda as long ago as 1907. Unfor-
tunately this pioneer craft was destroyed
by jealous sailors. and even the very
memory of it was lost for three-quarters
of century. In 1775 Perrier. another
Frenchman, built an experimental steam
vessel at Paris. Eight years later, in
1888, Jouffroy took up the idea that had
been evolved by Papin and Perrier and
built steamer. which did good service
for some time on the Saone.
The first American to attempt to ap-
ply steam to navigation was John Fitch,
a Connecticut mechanic, who made hie
initial experiments in the year l7e5. To
what extent Fitch was indebted to the
three illustrious French inventors named
above we are not informed, but that his
models were original there is not the
least doubt. In the first he en-
ployed large pipe kettle for generating
the steam, the motive power being side
paddles worked after the fashion of oars
on common rowboat. In the second
Fitch craft the same mode of propulsion
was adopted with the exception that the
paddles were made to initiate revolv-
ing wheel and were fixed to the stern
clearly foreshadowing the present stern
wheeler.
. This last mentioned boat was the first
American steam vessel that can be pro
nounced success. 1t made its first trip
to Burlington in July, 1883. But, after
all, it was not until after the opening of
the present century that steam naviga-
ton started into actual life. In 1907
Robert Fulton (who every school child
knows was an American, in conjunction
with one Robert r. Livingston, built the
Clermont, and established a regular
packet service between New York and
Albany.
The success of this undertaking was so
satisfactory that four new boats were
built before the end of 1911, at least two
of them being designed for servicein oth-
er rivers.-St. Louis Republic.
