Fight With Qligley.
The Philadelphia Item contained an
account of the fight between James
Judge, of the West Side, and Jerome
Quigley for purse of $3.50 at Phils-
delphia on Tuesday night. 1t stated
that Judge was being punished so
severely that the police interfsred and
stopped the mill in the third round.
Friends of Judge in this city claim
to have received adyices that it was all
the other way; that Judge was pun
melting his antagonist and would have
won the fight if the police, who are
friendly to Quigley, had not interposed
to save him from knock out.

1ODn OF April.
The second annual State Sanitary Con-
vention will be held at San Jose on the
afternoon and evening Of Monday. April
10th, in the hall to be occupied on the
following day by the State Medical Soci-
ETY.. The convention will be held under
the auspices of the State Board of Health,
which will provide for the necessary ex-
penses. The invitation is extended to ali
medical men, Boards of Health, city and
sanitary engineers, clergymen, ahd all
others who take an active interest in pre-
yentive measures against disease. AS
announced in a circular letter in Decem-
ber. the following resolution will be in
troduced:
"ReSoLUed, That hereafter consumption
(and other diseases due to the bacillus
tuberculosis) should be included in the
list of diseases dangerous to the public
health, requiring notice by househOlders
and physicians to the local Health officer,
as soon as recognized"
1t is confidently expected that this sub
ject will be ably discussed. Short papers
are solicited on any branch Of sanitary
science, those having q local bearing
being especially desirable These papers,
with all the proceedings of the conven-
ton, will be published in pamphlet form
for general distribution. The titles of
papers should be forwarded early to facili-
tate the completion of d suitable pro-
gramme. A circular letter has been sent

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres 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 SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120, 100 and $50 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 period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality st SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 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 $40 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 Nm of O larua
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and It's devotion
to diligent husbandry.

OUT of $1,000 exhibitors who received
awards at the Columbian Elk position, we
figure out 202 awards made to Californians
for exhibits from this State. That gives
us over one hundred and thirtieth part
of the awards. showing that for so dis
tant and young a State is exceedingly
ereditable, especially when it is under
stood that the total number of exhibits in
competition was nearly $4,000. Allin all.

1ancles Tor genius, but who have not gone
the long way patiently of reading. think
ing. digesting and analyzing, there must
come failure and modification
Max Muller has summed it up in say
ing that words without thought are
dead sounds; thoughts without words are
nothing; the word is the thought incar-
nate" Thought simplicity, clearness,
conciseness, vigor, truth are the demands
for newspaper work, more than the
graces Of style and finish of diction, but
which are not to be understood as non
essentials. But style fit only for books
and critical circles has small place in the
newspaper. Vulgar fneries usually re-
suit from style cultivated to artificial
levels, and these gain no credit for a
newspaper writer among his readers.
Dilettanteism in journalism is usually
ludicrous.
This practical age of practical readers,
demands an eloquence of thought resi-
dent in words of vlgor and simplicity so
harnessed together as to express truth
and sound reasoning in the plainest, most
forcible and impressive manner. The
"pompous and sonorous," which DR..
Mathews terms the absurd, are not neces-
sary to the expression of the truth in
newspaper work. any more than to "the
expression of the sublime and powerful
in eloquence and poetry" as Mathews
tersely puts it.
But the mistake with the great mass of
those who submit their writings to news
papers for publication and suffer rejec-
ton, is the notion that DR.. Johnson spoke
truth when he said that "big thinkers re-
quire big words" and conversely these
literary aspirants conclude that big words
indicate big thinkers standing behind
them. AS matter of fact, however, the
article submitted which has thought
most simply expressed never fails of
recognition of some sort. Since so few
receive 1t, must be taken as proof that
the mass of matter sent to newspapers by
the ambitious beginners is not stamped
with originality and thought.
1t is told of the celebrated Whatley
that the most illiterate gathered to hear
him, because, as they put it, he was ''easy
to understand" The truth concerning
most of the rejected authors of the news
paper world is that they are not easy to
understand, and that they present little
that is worthy of the effort to compre-
hend; because few of them have read
sufficiently, observed carefully and
thought deeply, and because they have
not learned, as Fitz-Greene Halleck de-
clared, that simplicity is beauty, SIM
plicity is power"

THE San Francisco Society for the Pre-
yention of Cruelty to Animals has taken
steps to break up the nasty fad of wear
ing living lizards as articles Of lapel aud
sbirt-front adornment. For this the So
ciety deserves all credit. The man or
woman who goes about with lizard
chained to the breast or dangling from a
glove hook ought to be trounced, and
roundly, for making such shameless
exhibition of asininity.
