Trenton. May % (spcciaD- Notwithstanding the
general belief that the Secretary Of State Henry
c. Kelsey. is n millionaire. and the fact that he
stated before the Voorhees, Investigating Commit
tee that he financially responsible and could
at a moments notice pay over to the State all
moneys which ne had held back and invested in his
private enterprises and specuations In violation OF
the laws OF the State he is shown by his own sworn
statement have been insolvent for many years.
In a statement before the Senate Investigating
COMMITTEES. Mr.. Corbin. the committees counsel
showed thai m the last few years Secretary Kelsey
had retained state moneys aggregating nearly 81
ONOo which invested FOR personal profit for
one year, when the law required that he pay over
70 the Treasurer the moneys collected by him every
three months.
The Secretary insisted when Mr.. Corbin ques-
toned his method OF transacting state business
that he was at all times financially able to make
good his shortage to the State This statement Is
fatty contradcted by other anllayits made annu-
ally by Mr.. Kelsey from 1890 to 1894, as shown by
the records Of tho Office OF the city OF Trenton

be compelled to refund the extortIonate
charges squeezed out of the shippers.
Whenever reduction is made by this
company in its rates it either turns out to
be no reduction at all or the thing is evened
UP by an increase in charges at some other
point. No general reduction has been
made in the past ten years on either local
or overland rates. The only hope of the
people lies in the new road"
A representative of Wellman, Peck &
Co. said: "We are simply holding our
breath and waiting for the completion of
the new line. We know of no reduction in
rates; that is to say, general reduction.
Now and then the rate on certain COM
modify TO a certain point will be reduced
by the Southern Pacific for the purpose of
freezing out competitor or working some
other trick of transportation. Usually the
old rate is put on again after few months
or the charges are increased to some other
point, which sort of evens up the thing.
As for general reduction either on over
land or local rates no one with sound
reasoning capacity ever expects to see this
until the company is actually forced to a
change by competition.
1.-THE Railroad Commission, though
pledged to reduction, has taken no action
at all, as far as we are informed. People
generally understand what the pledge of a
Railroad Commissioner means. The duties
of this body are clearly defined, but eva
sion seems easy, and no doubt profitable.

byterianism in San Francisco, the Home
Mission committee be authorized to collect
money to form ''church-extension sink
ing fund" He also moved that new OBJ
ject of benevolence be laid before the
churches, and that the pastors explain to
the people the imperative demands of the
local field, and secure as liberal a response
as possible. This motion, which has been
unsuccessfully brought before the presby
terry, at intervals, for the last tw" years,
was unanimously passed.
1t is understood that Rev. J. Cumming
Smith, Rev. Robert Mackenzie and Rev.
F. r. Farrand intend to push the work of
raising sinking fund as rapidly as pos
sible, in order to be ready to afford ma
terial help to the French and Italian mis-
sions, as well as to establish missions in
growing suburbs of San Francisco.
A motion was made by Rev. John Hemp
hill with regard to the quarter century an
niversary fund. At the General Assembly
Hall in Pittsburg last June DR.. Hemphill
was appointed a committee of one for this
City to help to raise the million-dollar
anniversary fund. His motion yesterday
was to the effect that the presbytery
should indorse local effort to aid the fund.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Rev. J. Cumming Smith reported that
the affairs of the Central Tabernacle had
been wound up, leaving surplus of $240.
Half this amount the Tabernacle finance
committee, which was composed of trus-
tees of the defunct church, had handed to
Rev. DR.. Gibson for the Sunday-school and
library, and the other S120 DR.. Smith had
been commissioned to give to the presby-
terry.
Rev. Eugene Dupuy of the French Re-
formed Church drew attention to the fact
that he had been laboring for months on
his own account, and that the treasury

by the fact that every available boat on the
water front, both on this side and the
other is engaged, and even single lock row
boats are at premium.
Yacht clubs from all over the bay have
arranged to send their crack flyers, and
those who have no record will be on hand
as witnesses. Every launch able to get up
steam or spout gasoline has been secured.
The small wharfs running into the ater
from private residences will give out col
ored lights at regular intervals as arranged
by the director-general, and from the time
the Mascotte gives the signal blast and the
procession begins there will not be dark
spot in the neighborhood of Belvedere.
From the ferry landing to the bridge
overlooking the concourse there will be a
system of illuminations, which although
beautiful will not in any wise indicate the
magnificence of the effect which will pre-
sent itself when the parade ground comes
into view. Each feature will be more mag
nIticent than the preceding one, and the
conclusion will Guido anything ever seen
In the line of pyrotechnlc grandeur.
Eugene Davis, J. Webster Dorsey, Rob-
ert McGill, DR.. Frink and countless others
have provided for the reception of good
many friends and the general atmosphere
will be of exceeding conviviality.
The arks-those small comfortable float
ing ummer-homes-will be so arranged
that any visitor looking for a friend can be
directed to the right spot at once, and from
all reports it is suggested that no one will
want to get back to land again for the re-
mainder of the night.
The "Belvedere March," written and ar
ranged by Belvedere lady and dedicated
to the director-general, will be played by
the Presidio and the Park bands while the
festivities are going on. There will be-,

That the ladybug is doing effective work
in cleaning the scale-infested orchards of
the northern sections is apparent from an
interview with Horticultural Commissioner
Harvey in the Marysville Appeal. He
said: 81 was extremely pleased to note the
wonderful spread of the little black lady
birds that were placed on the San Jose
scale infested apple trees at Brownsville.
They have spread all over that section.
At Challenge Mills l found hundreds of
them in an old orchard that was once
badly infested. and I found them on trees
in Hansonville. The spread of these little
beneficial insects is remarkable thing !;
they have followed the scale everywhere
and have been transported and distribu-
ted in the same manner as was the scale,
on trees, in boxes of fruit or empty boxes,
etc. There are two species, both of the
genus Scymnus. One is known as Scym-
nus Lopanthae, about the size of small
bead, black and with tinge of brown |;
they generally look slightly dusty. The
other is as vet undetermined SO far as
know. 1t is shiny black and about the
size of a pinhead. On warm afternoons
they are out by the hundreds all over the
trees. L really believe these little LADY,

and tree-owners should become acquainted
with them so that they can foster them

quently in the same patch with bushes
whose leaves are destroyed will be others
that for year or two will escape. But to
make sure Of getting rid of all of the
worms they should be trained either to
single stems or not more than two or three
together. 1t is the great number of small
currant sprouts that makes it difficult to pu
the hellebore on all the leaves. A few
leaves are left each time. and on some of
these enough worms will feed and attain
maturity so as to preserve stock for an
other year.
With reference to the raisin outlook in
Fresno County the Fresno Republican
says: The season is about two weeks
ahead of last year. Wineries and distil-
leries will no doubt take many of the infe-
rior grades of grapes, thus lessening the
pack, and thereby improving the general
average. There is persistent purpose

Final Preparations Before the

Carnival.
THE FESTIVAL OF VENICE.
The Director-General Has Left
Nothing Undone for the
Occasion.

All Belvedere is preparing for the blaze
of color and the scene of beauty which will
occur tomorrow night on and around the
island. The residents for the last few days
have been engaged in hanging festoons of
lanterns and stringers of flags from one
home to the other, while the director
general, James S. Hawkins, has been
straining his executive ability to harmon
ize the entire programme and blend the
features so as to have detail carried out
with precision and care.
He has placed all his co-workers in abso-
lutte touch with his desires, and there is no
possibility of failure.
Every precaution is being taken to pre-
vent accidents of any kind, and if the pro-
visions laid down by the members of vari-
Gus committees are carried out it will
never be necessary to have rehearsal.
An indication of the crowd is suggested

be used during the evening. Do not discharge
any fireworks or red fire before or during the
general display, except that the red fire may
be burned on the two occasions when grand
red-fre illumination of the hills and cove will
take place.
The signals to light the red fire will be given
from the west side of Valentines Island, imme-
diately back of the clubhouse, when the COM
mittee will burn red fire in quantity. No OBJ
jections will be made to any private display
after the general display is over
Yachts-All visiting yachts are requested to
anchor and dress ship directly outside of line
formed from Corinthian clubhouse to bark
Dollart.
Steamers-All steam craft are requested to
lie bow on just outside of visiting yachts. and
to blow no whistles between S:15 and 1O:45,
except in case of necessity. as this will materi-
ally interfere with the musical programme.
