Canada, where her father still re-
sides. Judge Menzies, Of Coving-
ton, KY, is her great uncle, and
Carl Menzies and DR.. John Muir
ply, of Cincinnati, o., are her un.
cles. Miss Miskell began her
stage career only about
two years ago, making her
debut In a small part in Augustin
Daly's company. She then Joined
Robert Mantell's company, and
early last summer she applied to
Mr.. HOyt for an engagement. The
manager was much attracted by
the young actress beauty, and at
once signed a contract with her.
Miss Miskell made her appearance
under Mr.. Hoyt's management at
the Madison Square theatre as
Ruth in "a Temperance Town" last

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
An Increased Interest Taken by tn
Various Counties.

An Increased Interest Taken by the
Various Counties.
At the meeting of the State Board of
Trade in San francisco on Tuesday B. NJ.
Lelong, manager of the board, in answer
to question put by W. II. Mills, stated
that the expenses were less in the new
quarters than in the old, and also that the
income was materially increased. The
Secretary of the board also stated that,
although the expenses OF fitting up the
new building, installing exhibits and
bringing them from the Midwinter Fair,
had been considerable and had heavily
drained the financial resources OF the
board, nevertheless the prospects were
very good. and not only did he expect TO
meet all expenses shortly, but also hoped
at a near period to have a surplus avail
able for divers Improvements oontem-
plated.
Mr.. Mills suggested that the Secretaries
and Chairmen of the Boards of Super
visors of the different counties be invited
to visit the exhibits here, and be received
as members of the State Board of Trade.
| This. he urged, would certainly greatly
increase the interest taken by the coun-
ties in the undertaking of this board.
great part of the success of the Mid
winter Fair was certainly owing to the
determined campaign which the board
mad undertaken in its favor. The Chi
cago and Midwinter fairs had been two
great successes for the fruit-growers of
California. The fruit industry has taken
wonderful strides in the past few years.
Twenty-seyen thousand carloads of
fruit products were shipped last year
from San Francisco. and the present
statistics show that Notwithstanding the
setback given to fruit export by the late
strike, the export this year shows a
tendency to be at least tar greater than
last year.
Before the close OF the meeting it was
resolved that several gentlemen living at
outside points be invited to come to the
next meeting and take part in discus
sions on questions of interest. Mr.. Mills
further said he thought it would be of
great interest to the board, in view OF the
enormous railroad shipment made from
here, to have Senator Perkins address it
on the question of Government owner
ship of the Central aud Union Pacific
roads in relation 10 the advantages there
by accruing to shippers. The secretary
was instructed to invite Senator Perkins
to address the board on this subject.

bid for better grade of men, to incite
men of higher intellectual capacity to
come to the task of law-making. But
we do not think it will accomplish that
end. 1t will simply incite the weaker
class to secure positions because of the
money award. Moreover, it will not ex-
pedite legislation: the houses will sit out

Indeed. the Indictment will be to the con-
