The cigar-makers look upon the new label
as an up-to-date idea.
1t consists of round SEAL as is shown
in the accompanying cut, and with the
words protect Home Industry" very
prominently displayed. This seal will be
placed upon the boxes of California-made
cigars in conspicuous place.
In speaking of the new movement yes
terday Secretary George w. Van Guelpen
said that he could not see why Califor-
mans would not patronize the products Of
their home workmen. He said:
We turn out better cigar because ours are
handmade and those from the East are all
machine made, and tenement-house labor is
employed in their manufacture. Why, when
these machine-made cigars were introduced
into Boston the cigar-makers there drove them
out.
If our smokers would only stop to think that
an average of from So 600 900 to $40 000, 900
year is sent out OF this State for Eastern
cigars, and also consider that the money might
just as well be kept here.
If it was there would be EN- ployment for 5000
cigarmakers and they would disburse their
reap the benefit? The merchants, tailors, shoe
makers and tracesmen generally.
1t is to overcome this indifference that we
are now going to begin a new agitation.
The new labels will be distributed through
out the State by Tuesday next, and will be
placed on boxes simultaneously in all State
factories. We are also going to send out agita-
ton committees to push homemade goods
among consumers.

The com bination of boy and gun was

The Second Artillery Regiment, N. G. c.,
with Colonel Macdonald at its head, and
Daniel Craig, the Peter Jackson of the reg
iment, nobly. defending the rear, re-
turned yesterday. The young soldiers
looked tanned and dusty, but preserved a
martial bearing and a sort of marching
home again stride as they came off the
Tiburon ferry.
A regatta of about fifteen miniature
yachts was held at brooklyn Basin, East
Oakland, yesterday. The trim little sail
ers were in good shape and with the brisk
breeze blowing skinned across the water
like vessels of larger growth.
Only seven boats made recorded time,
the others either drifting out of the course
to leeward, and still others running mp in
the wind and going over on the other tack,
and consequently becoming distanced by
yawing about with their tillers set at a
wrong angle.
The race was won by the Mikado &c.
inch junk, owned and rugged by J. Cousins,
engineer of the tug Governor Perkins. She
lay up in the wind like a steamer, her Pc
culiar fiat, battened sail holding her
high in the course. She made
the seven-eighths mile distance in
six minutes and five seconds. The next
fastest time was seven minutes fifty Sec
onds by Captain J. McFarlana's 33-inch
sloop Mabel. The 31-inch sloop Valkyrien.
owned by Mr.. Murray, made the time in
nine minutes. The Mamie, 28-inch sloop.
ran the course in nine minutes one Sec
ond, while the sloops Ragmuffin and De-
fender made it in nine minutes twenty
seconds. The 42-inch sloop Bells of Shan
don made good time and sailed well.
The sioops Forty winner and Mabel will
race next Sunday week for $50 aside.

years ago.
1t is the gossip among reserve men that
Colonel James will soon retire from the
Governors staff to accept a leading posi-

pressed desire of the Governor, General
Dimond and General Warfeld to render
the battalion as effective as possible.

Red seas This astonishing information
was made public yesterday by S. A. Nahon
at the Board of Trade rooms, 575 Market
street.
Mr.. Nahon is an expert on tobacco, and
he is looking around for favorable local
ity where he can secure about forty acres
OF good tobacco land, for he asserts that
California soil will produce better leaf and
wrapper than any outside of Cuba. When
he secures the land he will also devote con-
siderable time and attention to the raising
of India hemp, from which hashish is
made. Mr.. Nahon was born at Gibraltar,
and has handled tobacco all his life.
While travelling for business and pleas
ure in Egypt, Arabia and Turkey he had
considerable experience in the hashish
line. Since his soiourn in California he
has found that hemp is raised and used
for the same purpose by number of Turks
and Arabs who have located a few miles
out from Stockton. The plant from which
the seductive drug is made is almost as
familiar.to the public as wheat, which it
greatly resembles. Its fibrous bark is used
for cheap cloth, canvas and rope, and its
seed is known to every one who owns a
canary bird.
But its medicinal properties are not SO
we'll known TO the people. 1t is hardy
plant and grows in the same manner as
wheat.

Nahon, ''thelArabs1rand Egyptians knock

altogether.
The plans were drawn by Architects Ma
honey & Ryland. It's design is that of q
Florentine villa, two stories high, with
marble steps and concrete foundation, and
altogether it will contain fourteen rooms.
The windows are to be of French plate glass
The ladies of st. Teresa's Church are ar
ranging to carpet and furnish it as soon as

modern convenience. AT the rate the
work is being pushed it will not be very
long before it will be ready for occupancy.
Father O'Connell intends to send to New
York for missionary, and hopes to have
a mission started in the Potrero in few
months.

leaves that grow near the head. This fine
stuff is then mixed with small seeds the
Spaniards call conjoli, butter and honey.
This paste is made into small cakes and
eaten the same as any CONNECTION. In a
short time the drug begins to operate and
the hashish- eater gently passes into the
land Of dreams.
'The after-effects of eating hashish are
something terrible. The eyes become
/ bloodshot and swollen and excruciating
pains are felt at the base of the brain. In
Turkey. Egypt, and Arabia high and low
are addicted to the habit the same as the
Malay anu Chinese to opium.
1T is used in another way. The desert
Arabs grind the leaves to powder, which
they swallow with a mouthful of water.
This produces different effect, for the
fellows become as wild beasts and run
amuck. 1t is dangerous for an European
to meet one of these desert Arabs while
the drug is acting on him. The Dervishes
grow SO wild that many instances are told
OF where they literally tore their horses
and camels to pieces and devoured the
flesh while the animals were yet alive"
Mr.. Nahon states that the extract of
hemp in the liquid form produces similar
effects to Misunderstanding. The American ex-
tract is worth 65 cents an ounce and the
English and Indian sells for rs cents. The
extract is easily made and consequently
the growing of hemp for this purpose is
very profitable.
While looking into this subject as pos
sible industry Mr.. Nahon learned that the
Arabs and Armenians or Turks are grow
ing twenty acres of hemp near Stockton.
They tell the farmers that it is for bird
seed, but that is not all; They make and
smoke kiff and send large quantities of
hashish to this City for the use of the Turks
and Arabs here, and large quantities are
also sent to other parts of the United
States where Arab and Turk hashish eat
ers reside. The Stockton hemp farmers
are making money fast by raising the drug
and they sre keeping the secret away from
their neighbors. Mr.. Nahon proposes to
enter the same field as soon as he can Sc
cure the land and make not only hashish
for the Oriental consumers, but the extract
for the medicinal trade.

AN OLD BOOTBLACK'S END,
Strayed Away from the Aims
house and Fell Down
and Died.
covered-The Skull Found
Yesterday.

Poor old John J. Eagan! The full,
round day of life had been his, and when
his sun sank down through the red mists
into the far western sea he went to sleep.
1t was that long sleep, the pleasant dreams
of which are popularity supposed to have
no ending. His skull was found yesterday
by an inmate of the Almshouse.
1t was no soft bed, with white counter
pane, that bore his sinking, decrepid form
when his eyes closed in death-nothing
but the cold, hard bosom of mother earth
receiving back the dust which it had given
for one brief spell of sweet existence the
three score and ten years which is said to
be the life of man.
He had seen ups and downs in his time
and had attained what Pa few nickels and
dimes for backing shoes Seventy years
old and a bootblack! Finally an inmate of
the County Almshouse.
On May 30 Eagan strayed away from the
Almshouse and nobody knew what had
become of him. His disappearance re-
manned a mystery until June ID, when Z.
r. O'Neili, MINER living at the Aims
house, CHANGED to go down the gulch and
into the brush about mile to the south
eastward, and there he discovered the de-
He found the body, but not the head at
that time, but another search yesterday
brought the skull to light.
At the Coroner Office it was not thought
surprising that Eagan's body should have
been decapitated. That was attributed to
a process of nature-the process of decom-
position-and as the head is said to have a
greater specific gravity than the trunk in
case of death it naturally rolled away some
distance down the slope after parting from
the body.
The theory of Eagan's death is that he
wandered around until he became ex-
hausted, and then fell down and died. He
was O native of Ireland.

rather poor success.
