Senator MCGOWAN said he was opposed
to any un-American, barbarous, con-

voted no.
Senator Ford also recorded his vote in
the negative, which made the vote tie

A motion was then put and carried
that the resolution be reported back

Senator Earl was the only one who

ARCHITECTURE.

Bill to Keep Incompetents Out of
the Business.
Assemblyman Curtis bill, regulating
the practice of architecture in this State,
is an important one.
The bill opens with preamble, setting
forth that whereas the profession of
architecture is one that under our pres
ent civilization has grown to be a neces-
slty, and there are great number fol-
lowing the profession who are incompe-
tent by reason OF their having no knowl-
edge thereof, which knowledge can be
gained only by proper training: and
whereas, there is danger to life and prop
erty IN our State by reason of earth
quakes, by fire, and in some cases of the
actual destruction by settling of build
!ngs, ETC., the cause being credited to the
ignorance and incompetency, and pos
slDly, IN some cases, to the want of prac-
tlcaI experience, and dishonesty OF per-
sons following the profession; therefore"
and then follows the bill proper, which
reads like this:
1t shall be unlawful for any person,
alter the passage OF this Act, to engage in
tne practice and profession of architecture
who has not served an apprenticeship of
nve years TO registered architect OF the
State OF California, and who holds prop
erly authenticated indenture from the
same, and said indenture shall entitle
MIN to register with the Controller of
State as hereinafter provided
1t shall be unlawful for any person at
present engaged in the practice of the
profession OF architecture in this State to
follow or practice said profession unless
that, within ninety days from and alter
the passage of this Act, he shall register
as hereinafter provided and no public
buildings shall be erected without the
services of a registered architect.
Architects coming to this State from
other states, countries or places.
shall, before practicing their pro-
fession in this State, file salts
factory evidence with the State
Controller for this State, that they have
served a regular apprenticeship to their
profession of at least five years, or shall
have practiced their profession five years
in the place from whence they came, or
in this State.
Upon the registering of any person
authorized under this Act to register, the
State Controller shall issue to him a GER
tiicate, certifying that he is a registered
architect and entitled to follow the pro-
fession of architecture in this State, for
which certificate he shall be entitled TO
charge fee not exceeding $40.
Any person following or practiciur the
business or profession of architecture. or
in any way advertising himself as an
architect in this State, in violation of this

After that something else attracted his
attention, and he did not think of his gun
again VII he heard an angry voice behind
MN, and turning around, found himself
gazing straight down the barrel. A furi-
Gus Dutchman was at the other end of the
gun. The soldier had shot the Dutch
mans pet crow. the boy had borne teSti-
mony to the deed and now for the PEN
atty
Sparing you a recital of the heated
conversation that followed, the result
was that the Dutchman spared the SOL
dlers life only on condition that he
would straightway eat the crow that he
mad shot. The soldier argued vehemently,
put TO no purpose. He finally secured
permission to pluck the crow, and cook
IL little over fire made with few
chlps. Then he began to eat, but before
ne had eaten more than half of the car
ron plrd he became so sick that he swore
ne would rather be shot than finish it.
The Dutchman's wrath seemed to be
appeased by this time, however, and he
restored the soldier his gun and babe him
be gone. The soldier took the gun, but
instead OF becoming he instantly aimed at
the Dutchman's head and vowed to blow
his brains out if he did not at once eat the
other half OF the crow. The Dutchman
was compelled by fear of death to Swal
low the rest OF the loathsome flesh and
then the soldier departed, leaving the in
Jured Dutchman ready to burst with rage
and chagrin.
Inc latter SWore vengeance and next
day appeared on Governors Island and
made complaint to the Commandant that
one of the soldiers had wantonly shot his
tame COW. The Commandant told the
Dutchman to pick out the offender and
he should be punished. The Dutchman
pointed to a soldier not far away and
identified him.
Calling the soldier to him, the Com
mandant said sternly: Did you ever
see this man betore?' pointing to the
Dutchman.
. es, SIR replied the soldier, with
laugh in his eye, 4 dined with him yes
terday.'
This answer so amused the Dutch
man, besides reminding him of how all
his friends would laugh at him should
the story get out, that he refused to push
the complaint against the soldier and to
eat crow meaning to suffer anything
notifying or humiliating, passed into a
proverb from that date.''-1ribune.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart of Teha-na 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
nom $40 to $50 per acre. in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, 100 and 800 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 Tor three years, at which
time 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 an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at SO 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 $50
an acre and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands TO actual settlers a result easy OF
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body OF land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose OF promoting its set
tiement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

he did so ragged little boy, who had

thought to be the boys terror at the re-

pick up the crow.

should have more of them, but before
acting should always investigate care
fully, so as TO pick on some industry that

as there was less supply for the demand

pany yesterday the resignation of Presi-
dent Warner Miller was handed in and
was promptly accepted. That of Captain
George w. Davis. vice. president, was also

Emery of Cincinnati, Wilhorus Mynders
and r. L. Edwards.
This committee, 1t is generally under
stood. will probably report in favor of
wiping out the present construction CON-
pany and forming new one on an eouita-
BILE plan, which will give the present hold
ers stock in the new company and also
Maritime canal stock.
There was also a suggestion that after
the present construction company is
wiped out no new one be organized, but
that the Maritime Canal Company itself
undertake and have sole charge Of con-
structOn.
No one was selected as president in
place of Miller. Smith NJ. Weed was

A FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY
Congress Will Be Asked to Straighten
1t Out.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-There is ex-
cessof the Government expenditure over
the reduced available balance in the
treasury to point lower than it has ever
been ID the recollection of the treasury
officials
The available balance tonight is $685.
0SS.974. OF which SS4, 1894, 476 is gold re-
serve. The officials in the department
declare the Government will meet its OBJ
legations without resort 30 any extraor-
binary steps for raising the revenue.
The greatest embarrassment is the S13,-
094, 498 currency balance, of which S12,-
100000 is in subsidiary silver coin. This is
legal tender to very limited extent, and
the department cannot make use of it ia
meeting the necessary payments.
In view of the anticipated gold importa-
rions, the Treasury Department at one
time contemplated changing the coinage
of gold from smaller to larger denomina-
tiOns.
But it is authoritatively stated to-day at
the Treasury Department that no such
change would be made before December.
1t is believed Congress alone will be called
upon to settle the financial difficulty.
