A BLOCK BURNED.
FLAMES DESTROY A ROW OF SAN
ga DIEGO ROOKERIES.
A Number OF Flimsy Firth street One
story Buildings Swept Awsy-The
Surrounding Buildings
Are Spared.

SAN DIEGO, April 14.-A fire started
from q gasoline stove in the rear end Of
George A. Troxel's confectionery store,
on Fifth street, this evening, and de-.
etroyei row OF one.story buildings OF
fimsy construction, before it could be
brought under control. Troxel, who
opened his store week ago today, lost
everything, the value of his store
amounting to $4,000. There was $3.50 III.
surance on his goods.
The Minneapolis restaurant on the
north, run by J. T. Kaidel, was COM
pletely Quilted, and the lose will be
$500. This with an insurance Of 5000
on the stock. The building in which
these two concsrns was located was
owned by Otto Peterson, who carried no
insurance. His loss is Insignificant.
Adjoining the Minneapolis on the
north was the store occupied by Chester
w. Thompson, with a stock of fresh
fruits and preserves. Some few things
were saved from the store but the loss
will be $500 with no insurance.
ID. P. Hoyle's jswelry store was the
next to be attacked by the fire. Quick
work on the part of Mr.. Hoyle and his
friends saved all his stock which was
carried out in the cases, leaving scarcely
anything of value in the store besides
the safe. The flames, however, were
prevented from destroying the place,
though the damage by water was con-
siderable. The building in which Hoyle
and Thompson were located was owned

The flames spread simultaneously
north and south from the starting
point in the candy store. The frat door
south was occupied by G. w. Stults,
who carried $4,000 stock of curtains,
rugs, drsperies. etc. He suffered loss
by fire and water of $2500.
All the buildings burned were small
one-story affairs and we're among the
oldest in the city. They were sur
rounded by buildings OF much batter
class, all of which we're uninjured.
None of the damaged buildings were
entirely burned down, but all were q
total loss.

sorosis Celebrates tho Twenty-sixth Ami
versary Of Its Organization.
On March 10 Sorosis was 90 years old.
The day was celebrated by breakfast at
which the new officers were installed.
Mrs. Lozier, the retiring president, who
presided, said:
'Members of Sorosis and dear friends,
today we celebrate our twenty sixth an
niversary and begin the second quarter
century of our club life. We must not
count our anniversaries, wonderful
though they are, more than milestones
on our journey toward the spiritual tenn.

til groups of women everywhere shall bs

be one of the best and happiest schools

club"
After music by the New York Ladies'
quartet Mrs Lozier installed the new
officers, making graceful little speech
in reference to the new president, Mrs.
Helmuth, who is the seventh to occupy
that Office in Sorosis.
"You know that for long time, said
Mrs. Lozier, "the seventh star of tho
pleiades was supposed to be lost, wander
ing about in trackless space. But we ara
happy to say that we have found her at
last. There seems to be some peculiar
association with the number seven, and
now that we complete the seven strings
of harmony we shall expect the last one
to be the best of all Our new president
has gone in and out among us, has bro
ken bread with and for us, has occupied
high positions in our society, and our es-
TEEN has now crystallized in our vote.
1t is with great pleasure, therefore, that
introduce Mrs. Fannie l. Helmuth."
The new president was received with
hearty applause, and she undoubtedly
| spoke sincerely when she said:

you have welcomed me as your chief of
fcer for tho ensuing year. My highest
aim shall be to make myself worthy of
the great honor you have conferred upon
me and to administer with impartial

me it seems that our ideals have been
most nobly filled by those dear friends
who have preceded me, and by none
more than by her who now retires from
the presidency. When we enter Sorosis,
we promise that we will be useful to the
club; that we will sustain each other in
all worthy efforts; that we will defend
each other against calumny and that we
will avoid doing anything that will in

SAN BERNARDIEo, April 14.-Last even
ing the citizens of this city met in the
court house and organized company
OF men to deal with the gang OF 200
tramps who have been iniesting this
city for several .days past. The an
nouncement of Commander Vinette
and other leaders of the army that they
would not move out of the city unless
provided with free passage over the
Santa Fe and that if they remained in
the city they would compel the citzsns

high state OF indignation. While the
meeting was being held in the court
house the tramps packed up their bag.

this was announced the committee OF
sRtety went home and to bed.
About 7 80 O'eiack this morning the

alarm, and in less than three minutes
twenty men with shot guns and heavy
rifles reported for duty. and in short
time the number had increased to fifty.

Bows and ReyOlyers,

A telegram from Killaning, Pa,
dated last Monday states that by day
light tomorrow 12-year old John Sill
Wis will have the crime of murder to
answer for. He was playing with other
boys this evening when lutte Leroy
Green, 10 years old, struck him in
some childish quarrel. Silvis whipped
out revolver, saying to his small
assailant, ''I'll fix you now," and
placing the muzZle Of the pistol close
to little Green's body. sent bullet
through him. The boys who saw the
shooting were so scared they told no
body of the affair until the little Green
boy was nearly dead. Examination
shows the little fellow was shot
through lung, and with the shock OF
the wound and excessive bleeding, at
tending physicians say he not will live
through the night. There are young
boys attending our public school in
this city that make a practice of
carrying revolvers and some day some
one will get murdered or seriously in
jured unless the parents look sharp.
If it were not for the fear of humilia-
ting and offending some worthy peo-
pie the REGISTER would not hesitate
to give the names of boys who are
guilty of the offense.

The Farmers Institute .

The farmers institute under the
auspices of the Agricultural college
held on the 3rd and 4th ms, was we'll
attended, Notwithstanding the rather
inclement state of the weather at the
time, and very short time given to
advertise the affair.
The interest of those in attendance
seemed undated to the last, and 1t
seemed to be the universal opinion by
everyone giving his expression to his
opinions, that the time spent attend
ing the different sessions was well
spent and likely to many opened up
new fields for thought and investiga-
tion during the years to come.
While the occupation of the farmer
is certainly to say the least, one of the
most laudable and honorable that man
can engage in, it becomes so, only
through the honest, persistent, dill
gent and studiouS attention to all its
details, from the seasOnable and most
thorough preparation of the land for
crops suitable as to conditions of soil,
climate, accessibility to market, and
prospective supply and demand, the
proper care and culture of growing
crops, the best methods of harvesting
and safe storing of the garnered crops,
as thorough knowledge as may be, of
the many and intricate problems con-
nected with the breeding of livestock.
