Wilkes-Barre Times: 1.-THE Scranton au-
thorites are waking up to the necessity
of n paid fire department and there Is
good prospect that this time the agitation
will amount to something. Their vol

about $4,000 year. 1t is proposed to put
about s65,0OO in a paid department. There
Is no manner of doubt that the efficiency
of the service will be increased in an equal
or even greater proportion than the
cost. The lack of proper fire extinguish-
ing facilities has been one of Scranton's
greatest drawbacks in the eyes of the
progressive outside world and the sooner
the thing is remedied the better for the
city ana her real estate owners who are
now paying all too high insurance rates,
just on accornt of the absence of paid

II the Columbian issue of stamps of
the United States has not proven as
successful financial venture for the
government as was anticipated they
have more than fulfilled the expecta-
tions of the philstelists. All over the
world the demand for them has been
greater than the supply, except for the
commonest values - the l, 2, A, s.,
and 10 cents. Their great artistic
beauty excited the collecting instinct
of thousands who had never before
proven susceptible to the philstelic
mania, while their limited life of one
year greatly stimulated the desire OF
the regular devotees of philatelia to
secure sets of them.
Their term OF life was announced to
end with the 1st of January, 1894, and
there is now every indication that the
original intention of the government
will be carried out. With the approach
of the new year came stronger tend
ency than ever to secure quantities Of
these labels, and with the increased de-
mand came an advance in their value.
Two instances will serve to illustrate.
In thie city sets comprising the eight
denominations from l to 10 cents in used
condition were sold until within a week
or two for Is cents. Recently, however,
an order was received by local dealer
from Germany for 500 of sucn sets, for
which 18 cents set were offered.
Despite the utmost efforts OF the recip-
lent of the order he was unable to fill it,
and was only able to forward about 800
sets. Since then the local retail price
has been advanced to 20 cents.
A Kansas City collector WAS surprised
few weeks ago to receive from a corre-
spondent in Germany an order for 100
used 81 Columbian stamps, for which
$1.25 was offered. The order was, of
course, promptly filed.
Though Postmaster-General Bissell
has succeeded in reducing the contract
number OF Columbian stamps from
5000, 100000 to 1000, 100000 there is
certain to be large number of them
remaining in the hands OF the post
Office department after the 1st of
January, owing to the disiavor they are
held in by the general mercantile com
munity due to their large size. And
what is now most seriously troubling
all those who are interested in the
financial side OF philately Is the disposi-
ton that will be made of these Ere
mainders."

Therefore much surprise will be caused
by the statement that within so miles
of Vanderbilt and, at most, only few
miles off the proposed line OF the
Nevada Southern railroad, there lie
thousands of acres of land, the fruit
from which will compare favorRbly with
that raised anywhere in Southern Cali

the Pahrump and Los Vegas valleys,
the former having an altitude OF about
1000 feet, and the latter about 1900 feet.
In both these valleys there are flowing
wells, and there is not the slightest
doubt that a great amount Of artesian
water could be developed. The Los

Modjeska's California Debut.

There are 60 many storiee afioaI can

ance IN San Francisco, and the circum-
stances under which it was made, all
more or less false, that it may be re-
freshing to have the truth told in re-

actress was sprung upon the public OF
this city by Barton Hill when he was one
of the managers OF the old California.
She was living with her husband, the
Count de Bozenta, on ranch in South
ern California. The ranch did not pay
like many other ranches in California.
and the countess having knowledge OF J..
the dramatic art. applied to the man
ager of the California for an opportunity
to make it available. When Hill con-
sented to do so, after long converse
ton with the lady, he Immediately gave
out hints among the newspaper men OF
a surprise in store in the shape of the de-
but OF one of the most talented amateurs
he had ever met in his experience
No further information was given, the
lady'e name was not eve. mentioned.
The night fixed Tor the appearance of
pinconnue saw the largest assemblage
ever within the walls of the California.
The play was Adrienne Lecouvreur, and
tion of the heroine was never given
than that by this so-called amateur on
the California stage. 1t revived the
stories OF Rachel Felix. The house arose
to Adrienne despite her accent aud
shook the place with applause. The
next morning the papers wore full of
long criticisms OF the performance, most
Of them enthusiastic in their tone.
Then it came out that Harton Hills
amateur was in reality skilled actress,
| famous in CraCow and Wareaw; th:>
Poland was the land of her nativity,
but that her dramatic education was
had in the best schools OF Paris.
Modieska was living in the Palace
hotel at the time. Harry j. Sargent,

Oueer nIouutain Grain.

A traveller in the Himalayan mount
ain region has discovered that the ma
tives of that country cultivate grain
hitherto unknown in civilized sgricul-
tural operations, which has something
the look of wheat, but has very much
longer ears, and which has peculiar
inward curve.
The shiny, brown grain, unlike wheat,
is, on the other hand, much smaller than
wheat grNina should be for go large an
ear. But the interest is that cereal of
this character should yield such heavy
crops in go high an altitude, where the
seasons are necessarily short and the
temperature low.

The first gold known to have been

in the valley OF Santa Clara, on the

1t had long been known to the mission
fathers that there Was both gold and
silver in the country, but although the
Indians would bring the metals to them
as gifta, they were chary about reveal
ing the secret storehouses OF nature.

Danart Land Prnnf

The general land Office has recently
rendered an important decision as to
what constitutes cultivation under the
desert land act. in case where it was
claimed that the raising of hay crops
for two seasons was sufficient. The
commissioner decides that this is not
sufficient. and says: 1.-The Isrm cult

agricultural processes in order to raise
crops; not mere irrisss ann. 1t is i'm

The Sheep Industry of Texas.

Texas alone possesses about 1900, 900
sheep, or about one-eleventh of all the
sheep in the United States. These sheep
bring into Texas each year about 81 ,0OO,.
600, which is expended in the state for
feed, herding, shearing, salt, shedding
and the lease of lands. There is vast
amount of rough lands in Texas now be-
ing utilized in the sheep industry that
pays good revenue, as the land thus
used increases its taxable value, and it
otherwise would be comparatively use
less.
The agitation for reduction Of the
tariff ON woods has caused the value of
the wool products to drop from 10 to 20
cents to 6 and cents per pound--in
fact, to no sales at all--and the value of
sheep has fallen in proportion. Taking
into consideration the great number
of men, directly and indirectly, who are
engaged in this industry and the vast
amount expended annually among all
classes of people, it must be conceded
that the position Of the people connected
with this industry is less favorable than
has appeared at any previous time. 1t is
ruin that Senator Mills is advocating for
his fellow citizens in his own state.
