pay five equal annual installrnents, with iII-
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF

peoiaIly adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for

The First Congressional Convention
met in the Assembly Chamber OF the
Capitol yesterday afternoon on the ad-
jonrnment of the State Convention.
Senator McGowan of Humboldt was
elected Chairman, and w. P. Taylor Sec
retary.
Howell of Tehama made motion to
adjourn to o'clock this morning, but it
was voted down.
Following the report of the Committee
on Credentials, the Chairman announced
that nominations for Congressman were
in order.
1t was some time before any names
were presented TO the convention, and
during the interim Meyers of Siskiyou
rose to question Of privilege. and adj
dressed few remarks to the delegates,
urging them to give the laboring man
some consideration in selecting their
nominee. He observed that it was the
custom Of conventions to go into the
ranks of the legal profession for their
candidates, and he hoped that in this in
stance the rule which had been well nigh
established would be departed from.
While Mr.. Meyers was importuniug
the delegates the forces of the contending
factions prepared their line of campaign.
Judge John A. Barham of Sonoma car
ried the majority of the convention, and
| secured the nomination on the first ballot
! defeating j. T. Matlock of Tehama.
Barham was the first to be put in NOM
ination, Davis of Sonoma making the
nominating speech.
Haskell of Sonoma, Falk of Siskiyou
and Macarthur of Marin seconded the
nomination.
A. J. Hull of Napa, whose name had
been presented. withdrew in favor OF
Barham. He said Napa County had all
it was entitled to in the nomination OF
Estee for Governor.
L. V. Hitchcock nominated j. T. Mat
lock of Tehama and made an eloquent
| address in which he pleaded for the rec
ognition that county should properly be
shown. He cited the fact that Tehama
has never had any of the ''pie" which
she was justly entitled to. The bay
counties had always been given the pref
| erence in the matter of nominations and
he thought it high time there should be a
| change.
Nominations were then closed and on
motion the candidates came forward and
indorsed the platform as adopted at yes
| terday's session Of the State Convention.
The conventionlthen proceeded to vote
with the following result:

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.

The time is now fixed for the con-
vention of the national council of wo-
men of the United States. 1t is for
February, 1895, and it is to be held in
Washington. There are now II ma
tional associations belonging to the
council, which represents a constitu-
ency of about 1900 women. The
executive committee of the council
has passed resolutions on the subject
of dress reform, favoring patriotic in
struction, divorce reform and an equal
standard of morality for men and wo-
men. The resolution on divorce re-
form reads as follows:
Resolved, That as divorce is a
measure equally concerning both
sexes, we hold it just that all commits
sions created to deal with divorce
should be representative OF both. 10
this end we, an organization OF ma
tional organizations comprising about
700, 900 representative women, request
of the appointing power in each state,
whether gubernatorial or legislative,
that all such commissions hereafter to
be appointed shall be composed OF
both men and women in equal mum
bers.
That we ask the National Divorce
Reform league to take no steps toward
altering existing laws without confer
ring with the national council of
women of the United States through
it's standing committee on divorce re-
form.
That we instruct our committee on
divorce reform to ask for a hearing
before the Divorce Reform league at
it's next meeting in order to provide
for cooperation between men and
women in regard to this measure,
which equally effects both.
That the first step toward the ele-
walton of the home is to put man and
woman as homemakers in position
of legal equality.
That letter be sent to the governor
Of each state and territory, asking
him to call the attention of the legis-
lature to the situation concerning di-
vorce laws, requesting the appoint
ment of commission to consider the
matter, to consist equally of men and
women.

A Surgeons Terrible Mistake.

ga few years ago." said Charles J.
Patterson of Philadelphia, II learned
the secret Of the life of a man who had
passed more than o quarter of century
with scarcely q smile. He had been
physician and surgeon and Oh one occa-
sion had to remove an injured eye i'll
order to save the other eye and prevent
total blindness. The night before the
operation he had been drinking heavily
with some friends, and although the
following morning he was sober his
hand was unsteady and his nerves I'M
strung.
''After administering chloroform he
made q fatal and horrible blunder, re-
moving the we'll eye by mistake, and
thus consigning his patient to perpetual
blindness. The moment he discovered
his error he turned the man over to a
competent surgeon, decided everything
he possessed to him and hurried from
the neighbOrhood like a convicted thief
The remainder of his life was one con-
slant round Of remorse, and he rapidly
developed into q confirmed misanthrOpe
The secret OF his life was known to q
number of people, but when it was
finally revealed to me it explained q
mystery and made me respect the man,
for however grave was his original
blunder, which in some respects was of
course worse than a crime, his repent
ance was Of the most genuine charac-
ter. New York Recorder.

A mission visitor of one of the
London churches thus describes her
visit to gin palace; "Without in the
narrow, dirty streets, misery and
squalor on every side, but within, all
bright and gay. A throng Of men
and women crowded the bars, many
of them scarcely more than children
in years, but old in sin; and on look
ing around and lower, even upon the
floor, were to be seen as many as
thirty or forty little children, many of
them babies. [ at first thought they
were asleep and pitied their neglect
ed condition, but this feeling was
quickly changed to horror when I was
assured that they were all drunk
dead drunk, stupidity drunk
that some Of them had never been
sober, having actually been born sat-
ruated with accursed stuff and fed on
it ever since, the result being visible
III their old, pinched faces and miser-
able, half starved bodies with nothing
of babyhood about them.'

Effects of Sunlight.

Where a river is polluted by sewage,
millions and billions of dangerous mi
crObes flourish in it's water and are car
ried along with it to spread disease and
death around its banks unless their de-
velopment is arrested. If the sun does
not shine upon such a river, it may be-
come peril to whole communities.
But if the sunlight does reach it freely
the germs are destroyed, and the water
is kept comparatively free from infec-
ton.
Recent experiments in Italy have
shown that sunbeams are able to destroy
bacteria i'll water at q depth of at least
20 inches beneath the surface One
might almost liken the rays of light in
such a case to javelins and arrows
piercing an enemy, for it has been
found that the destructive action is
greatly diminished if only the perpen-
dicular sunbeams fall upon the water.
The slaughter of the microbes is by
far the greatest when both perpendicu-
lar and obliGue rays enter the water I'M
interrupted. Like ship in action, the
sun is most powerful when it can rake
the enemy with a cross fire. And it has
to shoot its tiny arrows of light q long
way-almost %, 900, 900 miles! But,
fortunately for US, they get here and
they are effective. -Youth's Compan-
ion.

DR.. Charles G. Davis Of Chicago, in
speaking of the success which has at
tended the treatment of surgical and
medical cases without alcoholic or
fermented drinks, says: ''The lesson
already taught has been sufficiently
convincing to impress the most skep-
tical that alcohol is not only unneces-
sary as an active medicinal agent, but
that, in a majority of cases, it is an
actual hindrance to the recovery of
the patient. Slowly, but surely, every
year, this great truth is being im-
pressed on the minds of the medical
profession
