MORE MUD.
Choked-Up Hydrants Again Help Along
the Flames.

The fire alarm turned in yesterday
afternoon from box was caused by a
blaze that started from an overheated
stove in the one-story brick building
situated at 311 L street.
The place was occupied by the Chinese
laundry firm Of Wing Hop q Co., and
with the exception Of the floor was en-
tirely gutted. The flames obtained great
headway, owing to the immense amount
OF sediment that choked the hydrants,
thus delaying the operations of the ire
men. For time the stream that came
from the hose-nozzles was of about the
consistency of that forced from sausage
machine and of very little better range.
1t was simply mud, not water.
Considera bic comment was occasioned
among the bystanders, who expressed
surprise that the residents of Sacramento
should be compelled TO use such stuff Tor
everyday purposes.
The building, which is owned by John
Hall, compositor in the State Printing
Othce, is damaged to the extent of $500,
fully covered by an insurance in the Ma
tlonal Fire Insurance Company of Hart
lord, Conn. Chief Guthrie roughly esti-
mated the loss on clothing owned by
patrons OF the laundry at 500, on which
there is no insurance.
One of the Chinese employees had his
halr badly singed in an endeavor to res
cue MS personal belongings.

Myrtle Reese Decides Not to Reform
Her Life.
When Myrtle Reese, the girl who was
convicted of vagrancy on Thursday last,
appeared for sentence in the Police Court
yesterday Justice Davis remarked: "Myr-
tie Reese. you professed desire to lead a
new life after your conviction on this
charge. Your youthful appearance, coup
led with the sad tale of your life's history,
which you related. led certain gentlemen
into the belief that those protestations
might be sincere. They Interested them
selves in your behalf and you were
afforded every opportunity to turn from
the course of life you have been pursu-
ing, but you have made a final decision
to continue your evil associations.
ut IS not the desire of this court to in
filct upon you excessive punishment, but
1t seems right to remove you for as long
as possible from the life you have been
Leading in the hopes of reformation. 1t is
therefore the judgment Of this court that
you be confined within the County Jail
Tor period of six months"
The unfortunate girl chose the Jail to
The Salvation Army's Refuge Home.

The Attorney-General Wants the Case
Tried Again.
Yesterday the papers in support of a
motion for new trial were filed in the
Superior Court by Attorney-General
Fitzgerald in the case of Tully P. De
Long against the State.
A few days since a jury awarded De
Long $500 damages for injuries sus-
tanned by the falling of the seats at Agri-
cultural Park some years ago during the
progress of the State Fair.
The Attorney asks for a new
trial on the ground: First, excessive
damages appearing to have been given
under the influence of passion or preju-
dice; second, insufficiency of the evil
dence to justify the verdict; third, that
the verdict is against law; fourth, errors
in law occurring at the trial, and ex-
cepted to by the defendant.

recognized by a return card. black-bor-

days after the reception of the card of
inquiry. Letters of coincidence. those
most difficult epistles to write, have
almost entirely given way to the per-
sonal card, and those who are afflicted
are not expected to answer such letters
when they are received. except by the
return pasteboard. Our English cousins

graved: "Mr. Blank begs to thank

Lemons in Southern italy.

The damp, soft air of Sorrento is per-
feet for the cultivation of the orange,
but Massa-Lu brense, which is dry and
more sheltered, is given up to the pro-
duct of lemons. which yield an enor-
nous percentage to the fortunate pos
SCISSORS OF land that can be used for
that purpose. Orange trees are here
and there mingled with the lemons.
just as lemon trees will be seen in the
midst of the oranGe-groves of Sorren to,
though in neither case they are the
chief produce Of the place. Massa-Lu-
brense is lnrgely indebted for its salu-
brious air to its lemon planta-
tions. Three years must pass
before "a newly-pla nted lemon
tree begins to bear fruit; and
in order to bring it to perfection, it
must be freely watered. A hollow is
dug around the base of the tree to re-
ceive the water as in basin, SO that it
may slowly penetrate to the roots.
Poles are planted at intervals in the
ground, somewhat higher than the
trees. and smaller poles or canes are
placed crosSways above them, which
are covered with mating when the
winter approaches. 1t is not removed
till tho spring is we'll advanced, for
lemon trees must be most carefully
sheltered from wind or frost. The
fruit is gathered chiefly during the
summer months, especially in May,
July and September, though there are
lemons on the trees all the year round.
