A Chicago Paper That VIII Not Let th
People be Robbed.

A Chicago Paper That WIN Not Let the
People be Robbed.
In bis last letter to the local worlds
fair agent, Mr.. Frank Virgins states
that the Chicago people are not so dis
posed now to rob the visitors as former
ly. They seew to have taken reasona-
BILE view OF the situation. and have be-
gunfto lower prices accordingly. This
first intention OF the Chicago people,
the hotel proprietors in particular, re-
ceived slight prodding at the hands OF
Mr.. Wiggins in his first letter after
reaching Chicago. 1t was written dur
ing the latter part of April and reported
even at that time marked upward ten
dency of the entire Chicago mind as re-
CARDS prices. The letter WAS printed in
the local papers, and appears to
have done more than enlighten the
prospective California visitors TO the
worlds fair, for il has helped to cause
one Chicago paper to realize the situa-
ton and to rise equal to the occasion.
The Chicago Tribune OF recent date
treats the matter Of prices both in
its editorial and local departments.
Il devotes the entire front page with
the exception of one column, to an ex-
pose OF the hotels and lodging houses in
ehav Oiby tuab are CuhTRiHR 6XOrDibhub
prices. About every establishment OF
any note Is mentioned, and it may be
added that almost every one has raised
its former rates about 100 per cent. The
reporters have gone thoroughly into the
matter and as q result complete ex-
posure OF the hotels is made.
Editorislly portion of Mr.. Virgins
tirsr letter Is quoted. In commenting
upon II the paper says that Mr.. Wiggins
may have exaggerated the situation,
but the intention of the Chicago people
to overcharge is admitted. 1t continues
by saying that the hotels charging ex-
orbitant rates are losing money while
those charging moderate prices are filled
with guests and are making money. The
Tribuns concludes that ii PROPOSES to
expose any exorbitance upon the part OF
Chicago hotel people, and also invites
all persons who have been charged to
excess to communicate with the paper.
The Chicago Record has pleasant
notice of the exhibit OF this section.
Brief mention is made of the leading
features oil the southern counties, and
several illustrations are given. One OF
these is o cut of the orange tower, over
which Mr.. Virgins has labored so in
dustriously, and another is corner in
the citrus exhibit of Los Angeles
county.

To establish a wide reputation The
Galen Institute will render their services

favor they ask is recommendation
after q cure has been effected. From
their experience in the hospitals of

made in diagnosing and treating dis
eases in the last few years, can tell the
probability of cure in all cases of ear,
skin, liver and kidney diseases, female
complaints, nasal catarrh, dyspepsia,
rheumatic M and nervous debility. They
make every case special study and will
not take any case to treat unless there
is moral certainty of making COM
pleae cure. Permanently located in Los

BICYCLE RACING.

Tho Alhamhra Track to be Inaugurated
on Saturday.
A good many wheelmen and lovers OF
field sports will no doubt visit the track
of the Alhambra Bicycle club next
Saturday, when the first field day will
take place, with enough interesting
events to make decidedly good after
noon's sport.
Lewis Fox, w. A, Burke, Will Jenkins,
Cromwell, Cowan and many other
cracks will ride, and in the sprinting
events, Geo. Noble OF Berkeley and Fox
of Cotton will compete at the 80 and 100
yards marks.
The track is pronounced by State
champion Burke to be the best in Cali
fornia, the banking being nearly perfect,
with a clay surfacs free from gravel.
The races are of great interest from the
fact that the winners on the 30th can
easily be picked out after conclusions
are settled on the A. B. O. track.

stop to a gross abuse in which the sher-
IFS Office and the board of supervisors
appear to be equally participant. Under
the old law the sheriff received a salary
OF $4,000. Out of this sum he was ex-
peeted to pay his deputies, all fees of the
office being turned into the county treas

WHEN the telegraph last night in
formed us that General Dimond had
been appointed superintendent of the
mint by President Cleveland we knew
that there must be come mistake. 1t
turns out that the appointee is that
sterling old Democrat Lieutenant Gov-
ernor John Daggett, a stsfwsrt whom all
Democrats admire. He WAS nominated
on the same ticket with Stoneman in
1882, and in various positions prior to
that he lad signalized himself as a
Democratic statesman of ability and
force. His appointment settles for once
and all the policy of Mr.. Cleveland with
respect to the disposition of party
honors in this state. Hard working
Democrats will be recognized.

colors to the front. The outer depot of

the confidence the Messrs. Ainsworth

they are shipping yet. Our growers

He takes a cutting off an old sour Florida

inches long; he puts them in barr3l of

quick as the bark will slip he puts in the
bud and then he will put it in the sand

he takes them aud sets them out in the
