GROWING COWS TO SELL.

There is increasing demand for good
cows The habit of farmers in allow
ing milk men to make selection from
their herd, and then offset the depre-
citation of their herd by charging a
high price for it, has deservedly gone
out of fashion. We are glad it has,
and yet we think the business of grow
ing and developing young heifers into
milch cows is profitable one if prop
erly conducted. The trouble under
the old system was that the farmer
possibly had only one or two really
good COWS. When these were sold he
was left with lot of scrubs that could
not possibly give him any profit. The
farmer ought not to keep any such
cows. If he has herd that are all
good mixers and all paying their way
he can grow heifer calves to the age
of three or four years, develop their
milking capacities, and sell them at a
profit. A heifer that has her first
calf at two years old should give
enough the first and second years to
pay her way from calfhood until she
is four years old Then the farmer
can Judge whether he had better keep
her longer or sell for what he regards
as fair price. - Boston Cultivator.

OFF FOR EUREKA
An EIoping Couple Leave
on the Humboldt.
Mrs. Jacobson of Tyler Island and
Edward Randall of Lodi
Fleeing Northward.

Mrs. Peter Jacobson is the wife of Lodi
rancher and Edward Randall is a village
blacksmith, under whose spreading chest
nut tree has evolved an up-country scandal.
Mrs. JacObson's husband is said to be
wealthy-so wealthy that he counts his
fortune in the thousands and is promi-
nently known In San Joaquin County as a
well-Snown citizen. Since Mrs. jacobson
linked her affections with those of Edward
Randall all parties concerned have become
well-knoN citizens and are trying to evade
the searchlight of further notoriety.
Randall, in addition to his duties as a
sheer of horses, also trained those noble
animals. Mr. jacobson often called upon
him to attend TO his stock. and in this way
Kendall became acquainted with Mrs.
jacobson.
The woman disliksd life In the country
and often told Randall how she abhnrred
living in the tules at Tyler Island. where
her husbands farm is located. Randall
sympathiZed with her and thus the elope-
ment ball was started rolling.
On the afternoon of Friday Randall and
the woman left Lodi for San Francisco to-
geiher and scarcely had they disappeared
when the angered jacobson rushed breath
lessly into town and asked for warrant
for the appre hen sion of the fleeing couple.
Il was thought that the pursued would
90 to Stockton, taking the river steamer
from there for this city. but instead they
lost no time in coming through by train.
Yesterday morning when the steamer
Humbold was ready to sail for Eureka
harbor police tfficer recognized Randall
and Mrs. jacobson standing on the upper
deck watching the crowd on the wharf 10
a most Indifferent manner.
No warrant had been telegraphed from
Lodi for the arrest of the clippers, so the
police were not empowered to detain
them.
Randall is rather a good-looking man OF
medium height. with dark hair and mus
tache. Mrs. jacobson, who leaned on
RandalPs arm, appears to be a woman of
about 30 wears of age. She 10 rather slen-
der. but has a fairly good figure.
The twain were not recognized until the
Humboldt was ready to pull out from the
wharf, and when spoken To they moved
away to the opposite side Of the steamer.
Randall had all of the furniture in his
Lodi house shipped to the ely. aud part
of 1t went north on the Hum b0ldt. Both
man and woman gave assumed names
when they bought tickets.
Mrs. jacobson not only deserted her hus-
band for Randall. bu. left three young
children In the lurch.

A CLUBS CONCERT
Given for the Children's
Hospital.
An Enjoyable Berkeley Musicale
That Was Also a Pleasant
Society Function.

The Clairmont Tennis Club of Berkeley
combined charity with pleasure yesterday
afternoon by giving musicale and recep-
ton for the benefit of the Berkeley sur
gical ward fund of the Children's Hos
pial.
Mrs. John CARRIER had kindly thrown
open her beautiful residence Belle Rose"
for the occasion. and nothing had been
neglected which could add to the pleasure
of the visitors. Flowers were everywhere.
Great punches of Parma vioets were given
generously away, the rooms were decked
with branches of pear and cherry bios
SONS. and the dinIng-room. where refresh
ments were served, was redolent with the
door OF hyacinths and lilies.
The tickets for the entertainment were
81 each, and large number of ladies and
gentlemen both from Berkeley and from
San Francisco took advantage of the op-
portunity Of being present at pleasant
society function and al the same time as
slstlng worthy cause.
The talent was all amateur, but the pro-
gramme was an excellent one nOtwith-
standing. As every number was encored
1t was difficult to decide which gave most
satisfaction. One of the most enjoyable
features of the music was certainly the
singing of Mrs. Oliver Perry Evans. 1t is
greatly to be regretted that this lady is not
heard more, for San Francisco is not so
oyerburdened with vocalists that it can
afford to hide one of its most accomplished
singers under bushel.
Mrs. Evans phenomenally high, clear
voice was we'll adapted to Sir Henry
Bishops 'Lo, here the gentle lark" and
the manner in which she executed the trill
on in alt would have secured her the
warm encore which she won before a
much more exacting audience. The other
vocalists. all of whom gave great satisfac-
ton. were: Miss Marguerite Richard,
Mrs. e. G. Rudolph. Miss Carrie McLaine,
Mrs. Barstow and Mrs. j. NJ. Pierce.
Miss Florence Green and Miss Bessie
Wall were the pianists; the Clairmont
quartet sang twice, and the Misses Hutch
inson and Durham gave some mandolin
selections.
Among other ladies present were: Mrs.
n. z. Shepherd, the Misses Hutchinson of
Oakland, Mrs. Watt, Miss Maude Howard.
Mrs. James Spiers. Mrs. Frank Wilson,
Mrs. Durham, Mrs. Blake, Mrs. H. P.
Gregory, Mrs. John Deane and Mrs. B.
Morgan.

Electricity i'm Its New Role as Seen
at the California Midwinter
Exposition.

Yesterday was an eventful day at the
Mldwintsr Fair. the occasion being the
opening of the electric theater.
1t is a novelty in California, inasmueh
as it takes the place. by the aid of
Edison's latest triumph, of the actor and
the orchestra.
For some time nearly every one who
visited the Midwinter Fair was disap-
pointed when it was learned that cleo
tricity in its new role could not be seen,
but the character of the work which has
been necessary to bring this feature of the
exposition to a condition of perfection was
so complicated that delay could not be
avoided.
1t is now, however. in perfect running
order, and if the opening day may be taken
as a criterion of what the attendance
will be in the future, the company which
owns it will be handsomely rewarded for
its enterprise.
Among the many novel scenes which are
presented by the aid of electricity the fol-
