Large Attendance at the Session of the
Association at Los Angeles.
Los ANGELES, Nov. 22.-There was an
increased attendance at the session to-day
of the Fruit Growers Association.
The death of ex-Secretary of Agricult-
ure Jeremiah Rusll was mentioned, and
tributes paid to his memory.
S. A. Raymond of Kern County read
an essay on ig-drying. He said that figs
could be raised with profit if they were
rightly handled. His figs netteI him 5
per cent. ''Sulphurizing," said Mr.. Ray
mond, chickens the skins of figs" He
said there was no reason why the Califor-
MIA fig would not replace the imported
Smyrna fig of commerce.
Secretary Lelong denied having writ
ten any article or made any statement
discouraging the planting of olive trees.
He said he had been misrepresented by
the papers. What he said was he wanted
no more olives except of the Mission
variety. He had been asked what be-
came of the resolution favoring the Nicar-
aqua Canal, adopted at San Jose, and said
it was intrusted with the Congressman,
and said the Congressman needed watch
ing and stirring up. Lelong said Con-
gressmen Geary was all right on the
tariff question, II he was Democrat.
Maslin of San Francisco made lively
answer. Mr. Maslin defended the send
ing of Colonel Irish to Washington to
favor the tariff on fruit, and said that to
send a Protectionist was the "idiocy of
asininity." He proposed to raise $500
to pay the expenses Of the representa-
tiyes.
Editor Holden of the Pacific Rural
Press said fruit was not luxury, but a
staple article of food.
Sprague of Fairmount scored Kells of
tie north and Ford of Santa Ana for not
appearing with essays.

THE AMANA COMMUNITY.
One of the SociaIistfc Experiments in
this Country.

this Country.
Most socialistic experiments in this
country have fallen fiat, but there are q
few remarkable exceptions. One of these
is situated in Iowa County, Iowa, and is
called the Amana Society, or Community
OF True Inspiration. This socialistic So
ciety has stood the test of time, for it is
very nearly as old as the State of Iowa.
Indeed, it traces its early beginning back
to the German Pietists Of the seventeenth
century. But iii this country and in
Iowa it was incorporated in 1859. This
society is a shining example. 1t has sue
ceeded. It numbers now about LOO
souls. and they are all healthy and happy
and fast growing rich. They own some
%, 900 acres Of land, all cultivated up to
the highest notch and we'll supplied with
live stock, and they have mills and man.
ufactories of almost every description.
They carry on these many enterprises
with the energy and skill of people who
believe that ali must work. Not even the
old are exempt from the universal law.
You may visit Amana Society any day
except Sunday, aud you will find every
body at work, one equal TO the other,
men and women, some in the fields or
vineyards, some in the factories. and q
large contingent, most OF these women,
as it happens, in the large cooperative
kitchens, where the meals are served.
They are brothers and Sisters to-
gether, as they say. They all eat the same
food, wear the same blue jeans or blue
calico, live in houses equally free from
paint. and when they die each one is
given the same kind of a wooden slab to
mark his resting-pla A few do, indeed,
possess their own families, but even this
is discouraged, and life of celibacy held
up instead as the highest ideal.
They are a SimDle. OIaln folk but th9V
are always apparently contented and
happy. a visitor will be surprised to lind
so large proportion of old people among
them, for very few die III youth or middle
age, and few are ever sick. There are no
cases OF nervous prostration here and
insanity and suicide are unknown. Nor
has any member of the community ever
filled felon's cell.
This appears like a beautiful illuStra-
ton of the good things attendant upon
socialism and N. Zola's panacea of .'in-
cessant work." and it seems too bad for
the sake of the theory that the Amanites
do not base their success upon these
principles. They claim rather that social
ism and "incessant work. are only the
means by which they attain a higher
good. This higher good is freedom in
observing their own religion.
This religion of theirs, however, is so
Dure and beautiful that one readily sees
it is potent factor of their success. Like
their lives, it is without embellishment
or show. It teaches them to speak the
truth. TO do no murder, not even in war,
to love one another and to listen often tor
the onward voice. of revelation. Thus
they live. like the patriarchs of old, "a
peculiar people, not for the sake of ex-
pertinent. but because they desire so TO
DO, and with all their popularity they
find themselves happy and prosperous

THE EVANS TRIAL.
An Alisor Appointed to Select the
Balance of the Jurors.

An Alisor Appointed to Select the
Balance of the Jurors.
FRESNO, Nov. 22.-The six remaining
jurors of the regular venire to try Evans
were examined to-day, without resulting
in the addition of the jurors obtained
Tuesday. The regular venire being ex-
hausted the next step was to have spe-
cial venire summoned. On this there was
skirmish between the attorneys for the
prosecution and defense.
The latter objected to subpenaing a
special venire by any member of the
Sheriff's office, on the ground that Sheriff
Scott and all his deputies had opinions
unfavorable to Evans. To prove it Sheriff
Scott was placed ON the stand, and said
he believed Evans was guilty of murder,
but could and would be as fair and inn
partial in summoning a special venire as
if he had never heard OF Chris Evans or
Young's cabin.
The defense still insisted that neither
the Sheriff nor any of his deputies should
do the work.
The law provides that in case where the
Sheriff is disqualified for doing this work
the County Coroner comes in next, but
when Coroner Stephens was placed on
the stand to state his opinions and preu-
dices, he said he thought about the same
Of the case as Sheriff Scott, and Mr..
Stephens was accordingly excused.
T. G. White, John d. Morgan City
MarshaD and G.. w. Smith of the Tenn
perance Colony were examined as to their
qualifications and prejudice. White was
finally chosen elisor to select and SUBJ
pena a special venire of seventy-five, to
report next Monday morning, at 10
O'Clock.
1t appears that the defense got wrong
man in White, for they Immediately
asked for the appointment of someone
else. Upon refusing, the defense
expressed their willingness to have
Sheriff Scott summon a special venire,
but the court was firm, and defendants
attorneys seemed disappointed at the out
come of their opposition to the Sheriff.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The iron ore
men have been defeated. and the men
who combatted so valiantly to keep this
article off the free list were to-day in
formally notified by members of the
Ways and Means Committee that it had
been finally decided by the Democratic
members that iron ore would be placed
on the free list. The iron ore men
threaten to carry the fight to the floor of
the House.
The committee to-day concluded the
wool schedule in the new tariff bill. The
measure provides for the admission, free
of duty, of all woods, and also repeals
what is known as compensatory duties
on woolen goods. and reduces the ad
valorem duties on such goods. 1t also
repeals the compensatory duties upon
carpets, rugs and mats, and reduces the
ad valorem duties thereon from 40 per
cent. ad valorem to 30 per cent. ad va
lorem. 1t also reduces the duties upon
certain qualities OF waste TO 70 per cent.
ad valorem. The duty on shoddy, mungo
and certain other wastes is put at % per
cent. ad valorem.
Over thousand petitions, kilograms
and memorials were received by MEM
bers of the committee from temperance
societies throughout the country, asking
that the whisky tax be raised.

SAN BERNARDINo. Nov. 22.-Another
gang of unemployed men. forty in num-
Der, arrived in this city last evening from
Los Angeles. They are Differed, and
to some extent enforce military discip-
line in their ranks. There are stationing
guards day and night to prevent any
from leaving camp without permission.
They hope to get work in the mines. The
city authorities provided them with a
hundred pounds of bacon, together with
coffee, sugar and bread in large quanti-
ties. At 2 o'clock to-day they boarded the
East-bound freight train on the Santa Fe,
but were ordered off by the trainmen
They refused to obey, however, and the
officials of the road called upon Sheriff
Booth for assistance, who at once went to
the depot. The captain of the company
said they did not want any trouble, and
would get off the train, which they did,
and camped for the night.
Later on a Constable of the town or
dered the men to leave town under threat
of arrest for vagrancy. Officers of the
company at once communicated with
Sheriff Booth. who told them to remain
where they were until they could get
transportation on the railroad. They ex-
pect to get transportation on the night

The Company to be Sued for Failure to
Carry Out Its Agreement.
MANAGUA. Nov. 22.-Guzman, the Mic
araguan Minister at Washington, has
been instructed by the Government OF
Nicaragua TO Immediately enter suit
against the Nicaragua Canal Company.
The basis of the suit is the failure to COM
plete the canal between the two lakes
within the time specified IN the interna-
tional agreement. The canal company
guaranteed to complete this canal within
three years from the date of the conces-
sion granted. In case the canal was not
completed within that time the company
agreed to pay the Government of Mic
aragua $500, 900. This is the amount in
volyed in the suit, which it is understood
Guzman is directed to enter at once. 1t
is hoped this action will at least have the
effect of stimulating the new company,
which is now about to take hold of the
canal in the work of construction. This
is what Nicaragua desires more than any
thing else.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Thomas B. At

official information that Minister Guz-
man was about to bring suit in behalf OF
his Government against the Canal Con-
struction Company for failure to fulfill it's
contracts, but DR.. GuZman admitted the
truth of the report that if the canal be-
tween the lakes is not completed in the
time specified the Maritime Company
had agreed to pay Nicaragua S30O,00O

brought.
1t is understood that suit will also be
brought for the abrogation of all conces-
sions made and the Government Of Mica
ragua left free to make contracts and
concessions with other corporations.
