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

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand 2cres OF
land in the heart OF Tehama County, for the
purpose 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
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120, 160 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, at which
tins the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 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 fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 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 It's devotion
to diligent husbandry.

A Dog That Hunts Eels.

In Norwich, Conn, is a dog that
hunts cells. Last winter this dog. which
is red Irish setter, appeared before
his master two or three times with cells
in his mouth. The master feared that
the cells had been stolen from some
fisherman, and followed the dog to see
how he got them. The animal led the
way to the shore of pond, nosed
around in a mass of leaves at the edge
snapped at something and brought out

the leaves, and with a pitchfork was able
to throw upon the shore two hundred
and twenty-eight cells that had gone

THE BORDEN CASE.


The Prisoner Receives a Unique Invita-
ton From the Owner of Summer
Hotel.
NEW BEDFORD, June 12-Lizzie Bor-
denis lawyers have received in her be-
half an invitation that is unique. A
proprietor of two prominent hotels at
/, two shore resorts has telegraphed con-
gratulatlons on the outcome of the trial.
He already presages acquittal of the
prisoner and invites her to visit his
hotels for as long a time as she may see
fit, with such attendants as she may
bring, entirely free of charge.
At the opening of court this morning
the jury were requested to retire and
MIR Moody arose to argue the question
of the admissibility of the evidence of
Lizzie Borden made at the inquest. The
point under discussion in the case is as
to whether the testimony is such as to
take it out of the realms of confession
reno cred under compu'sion The law
states that no declaration obtained by
compulsion from a defendant can be ad-
mitted in evidence, but all declarations
that are voluntary are admissible.
After celebrating for one hour and
ten minutes the justice decided not to
admit the evidence given by the
prisoner at the inquest. This is great
victory for the defense, and Miss Borden
and her counsel are juhilant.

of the world, which often and again has
shown that it has very little sympaty with

What NTr. Frog Had TO Tell.

Frogs, as we'll as ''humans,'' must &C.
casionally have peculiar experiences.
One would like to know exactly how
they tell a story like the following, on
going home to Mrs. Frog and the chill
dren! Charlotte NJ. Yonge says:
One day, as q snake was crossing our
lawn, it was seen and pursued by some
member of the family. 1t seemed to
be rather portly and incapable of fight,
and finally, in order to be free to move,
it opened it's jaws and emitted a frog,
after which it wriggled rapidly away.
The frog lay pulled out at full length,
a CHASTITY spectacle. A great deal of
sympathy was expended over its mani
mate form, and just as it was about to
be removed from the spot, behold! it
drew in first one leg and then the
other, contracted itself into respecta-
BILE frog, and hoped off as if nothing
had been amiss!
MY DEAR" it probably said to Mrs.
Frog, on reaching the pond, 81 shall
never smile again. Such a remarkable
experience as mine sobers one for life.

young and cheerful; l return an older

JUDGE BEERS SUIT
The Hamburg Company's Defense-Evi-
denc0 All Finished.

0onc0 All t1n1Sn0ds
NEW YORK, June 12-The taking of
testimony in the case of Judge Beers OF
Connecticut, who is suing the Hamburg
American Packet Company for $4,000
damages for detention on board the steam
ship Normannia last summer, is finished.
The last two witnesses were Wilhelm
Finck, the cabin clerk of the company in
Hamburg, and Richard Berting, managing
clerk of the Cockspur street Office of the
London agents.
An effort was made by the witnesses to
show that the assurances given to Mr..
Beers and others who had engaged pas
sage on the Normannia, that the ship
would not carry steerage passengers, we re
the result of the misunderstanding of a
cable sent from Hamburg to the London
agents The cable was as follows:
"Steamship Normannia, rooms vacant
second class full; refund cannot
take place. Measure to secure sanitary
safety vigorously taken. Instruct nc
steerages forwarded by our line. Fast
steamers plying Southampton and New
York only"
This cable, it was testified, was sent
shortly after the Normannia sailed from
Hamburg. The latter part referred to in
structions that had just been issued tor,
bidding the future booking of steerage
passengers. The London agents inter
preted it to mean that the Normannia car
ried no steerage passengers.
The lawyers in the case will submit
their briefs to Judge Brown of the United
States District Court before next Satur-
HaV
