There was considerable other interesting
talk afloat, to the effect that in the checker
board changes, which the President was
rumOred about to make in the Cabinet, his
private secretary was to be asked to take
higher seat in the circle-was, III fact, to be
appointed TO position in the Cabinet. This
position was that which Mr. Wilson holds
al present, the position of Postmaster GEN
eral
This was the UImored outcome of one Of
the Cabinet meetings and when Mr.. Thurber
himself was approached upon the subject
he smiled in the blandest manner. While
eYading the question after the manner of
the Irishman in the well Known story, Mr..
Thurber somehow gave the impression that
his questioners were getting warm" in
their guesses as to the outcome Of that par
ticular Cabinet meeting.
1t all turns out to have been but harm
less little practical joke on the part of the
Presidents private secretary, but it was
none the less of thrilling interest until the
real truth of the matter was discovered, or
rather given forth to the public by the
President himself.

Before leaving Washington Mrs. Cleveland
was urged to remain in the city by the
ladies of the Cabinet, who desired that
the interesting event of July might take
place in the White House Mrs. Cleveland
decided otherwise, however, and having
apparently satisfied her ambition in that
respect by having one little daughter
born in the White House, preferred 10 goto
Gray Gables rather than remain in this city

There is a new portrait of the Secretary
of State recently hung in the Art Gallery
| of this city. The painter is Hubert Vos,
the celebrated Dutch artist, who during
/ ulS recent stay III washington has been
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred Clifford
Barney. When the idea of having the
portrait painted was first started the
Secretary of State was of course occupying
the position OF Attorney General. 1t was
moreover, strongly suggested that the
! portrait be painted by Mrs. Barney, who is
one OF the finest amateur portrait painters
! in this country, as is evidenced by her

ment
| Finally, however, it was decided that as
Mrs Barney is a very Fascinating woman, it
was more than probable Mr.. OIney would
! find the sittings spin out to greater length
! than was compatible for the proper dis
charge OF his official duties, since he has
| a due regard to the charm of conversation
/ and 10 the presence or a pretty woman.

/ Mr.. Vos, who among others, has made a
! fine portrait of the French ambassador
The situngs for the portrait. however,
/ took place in Mrs. Barney cosy little studio
! in her residence on Rhode Island avenue.
/ The time selected for these sittings was
/ from s until 10 O'Clock in the morning,
and as breakfast is not served until 10 or
after that hour in the Barney household,
! Mr.. Olney had no distractions or the score
OF indulging in charming little CONVEX

There is a hostess in Washington who is
not always gifted with the ability of putting
the happiest phases of her inward thoughts
before herguests. Like many others in the
fashionable world, this especial hostess
receives during the season at 8 O'Clock,
andthose who, nothaving ghappenedtoinform
themselves upon this score as to the eX-
act hour, are turned down in their aspira-
tions to enter her drawing room by the
footman, who announces that madam is at
home at O'Clock, and that until O'Clock
arrives she is not at home even to her most
intimate callers.
Occasionally it has happened that this
matter Of punctuality insisted upon by
the hostess for the government of calls from
her friends is not always adhered to on
her own part as strictly as might be de-
sired.
There was one notable occasion during
the past winter when it was observed by
her in the breach. On that particular day
il happened that foremost among the callers
was woman who for many conSidera-
tions it was not well to offend Promptly
at O'Clock she presented herself before
the portals Of the imposing doorway, and
was duly usbered by the train of footmen
into the drawing room. Madam was not
evident. She came in, in fact, a few mo-
ments later, hurriedly buttoning one of
her gloves, while the other was carried in
ber hand Her greeting proved a de-
cided poser for the caller ''SorTy to

RIVAL FRUIT AUCTIONS

Coifax Growers DenOunce the OppOSf-
ton to tho California Association.
A mass meeting OF truit-growers of Col
fax and vicinity was held in the Coltax
schoolhouse on Saturday afternoon to dis
cuss the existing fruit war in New York
and Chicago. Morris Lobner was chosen
Chairman and A. Norris. Secretary.
In the course of the prolonged discus
sion which followed, it developed that
\. q. Bell, Manager of the Coifax Fruit
Growers Union, to which many of the
growers assembled belong, had made
contract with the California Green and
Dried Fruit Company for the sale of The
entire crop, without being aware of the
TACT that the company Was supporting the
closed auction in Chicago, which had been
organized for the express purpose of
breaking down the open auction, and
thus defeating the wishes of the Calltor-
| MIA growers.
Much Indignation was expressed by the
COltax growers that their fruit was thus
to be used a club 20 break down the
| prices OF fruit coming from growers in
| other vicinities.
| There was manifest feeling of strong
regret that the fruit had been sold to the
rivals of the growers, even though the
! prices paid were at top-notch market
following resolutions were carried almost
| unanimously:
| WHEREAS, 1t has been called TO the at
tention OF the fruit-growers of Colfax,
! Placer County, and vicinity, that the
| National Fruit Association (Sgobel Il Day,
New York agents) and the California
Green and Dried Fruit Company Up.
huffman x Co., New York agents) have,
contrary to the wishes of the State Con-
vention, established rival auction sales
room in New York, and despite the ear
nest protests Of the California fruit-grow-
ers, expressed il mass meetings through
out the State. continue to support and
maintain such rival auction salesroom, to
the great detrIment of the grower;
RcS0tUed, That we, the fruit growers of
Coliax and vicinity, Placer County,
assembled in mass meeting, do de-
| nOunce those who are supporting
| these rival auction salesrooms as the
enemies of California fruit-growers and
| the California fruit industry.
| ResOt0ed, That we call upon the fruit
growers throughout the State to remain
true &c the pledge taken at the State Con-
Yentlon, 1891, 10 give their hearty and I'M
| quained support to the California Fruit
! Growers and Shippers Association, W no
are earnestly endeavOring to remedy the
great evils OF the past in the mark eting

HOW STATE LANDS ARE FILED ON.
Some Secrets Given Away in the
Wharton Inquiry.
Judge Catlin Takes Hand in the Ex-
animation of WftnesSes-The
Testimony all in.

Saturdays proceedings in the Wharton
disbarment case in Superior Judge Cat
Inns court were about the most interest
ing since the commencement of the case.
One of the witnesses. a Mrs. Herrin,
testified that she considered Wharton a
perfect gentleman and good man gener-
ally. Asked why she considered him
such, she replied that he never drank in
toxicating liquors nor swore. Mrs.
Wharton's reputation, Mrs. Herrin said.
was bad before she married Il. +. Whar-
ton. but she admitted having obtained
that Information from Wharton.
Another OF the witnesses was II. II.
Snow, land agent and formerly an en-
pioye in the State Land Office. During
his testimony disclosures were made
which are important 10 persons Interested
in State land matters.
Snow testified that he had known
Wharton four years, aud that the de end
ant had at Various times been employ ed
by ann IN u legal capacity. de kuew
Nharton'S reputation To be good. lilo
said il be mad not considered W hartOn a
sale man 10 deal with ne would not have
intrusted the defendant with matters out
OF which he h;tG made several hundred
dollars.
Miller & Bates of san Francisco had
sent the witness number OF applIca-
tons Tor state lands to De flleu iOr th0in.
He gave them 10 Wharton 10 tile and I'M
parted to hIn some information concern
ing the value OF lands. The applications
were placed IN the sale ia The Land once,
but were nos flied. There were about ten
sections which the witness, Wharton and
others had used" in the transaction.
Judge Catlin demanded of Snow that he
state what became OF the rights OF the
original Iilers on the land. Snow SAID he
did not know.
Judge Catlin asked the witness if the
sections were not He'd upon by certain
parties. Snow replied they were. lie
did not know who they were. because
the applications were not opened. lie
had given them to " harton.
The witness way further asked by Judge
Catlin what rights in the lands had he IL
| he was the attorney for those VINO made
the applications. and what rights he could
have given TO Wharton.
Snow replied that he did not give away
any rights. lie had used" the land
and for all he knew they other belong to
the State or are IN the names of the orlgl-
nal applicants.
He was asked by one of the attorneys
ior the prosecution ii it was not a fact
that the lapplicantions were dummy"
applications and signed with fictitious
names.
Snow replied that the applications were
| placed in the safe in the State Land ONCE
on their arrival there, and he did not
know that they were not filed.
Wharton was then placed on The stand.
His testimony was IN reference to the
Hoxie divorce cass. He said Peter
Stortz had told him that he (otortz) had
served the papers on HOXie The wit
ness as q Notary Public then swore
Stortz to al affidavit of the service OF

and the case will DO argued next Thurs

depression Of the barometric pressure,
the greater viii be the area covered by
the rain, and the stronger will be the
force Of the wind
From this brief explanation it can be
seen how valuable are the weather maps,
even though they reach the recipient
thirty hours after they have been issued
from this office. In the summer months
the storm areas are so far to the north that
their influence cannot extend so far
south as California, hence the dry season,
and the longer the storm areas remain in
their northern location the longer will be
the dry season. Heavy and long con-
tInued RAIN periods over California are
caused by the greater diameter of the
Storm and resistance or barrier in the
path OF the storm which prevents it's east
erly movement. This barrier is an area
OF high Darometric pressure over and to
the north of Montana.
The foregoing is brief outline of a su b.
lect which, if thoroughly treated, would
make many pages, which would be too
long for general distribution. 1t is
hoped, however, that this may give fair
understanding of the subject.
For the information of the public the
following record OF snowfall at San Fran
cisco is appended: The heaviest snowfall
on record is 81 inches at the Weather
Bureau office, and inches in the west
ern portion OF the city, on the morning of
February ), 1887. On February 7, 1884,
| to inches were on the ground at S
O'Clock in the morning. On Deem Der
81, 1880, occasional flakes OF snow fell
from 1870 A. NJ. to 400 P. NJ. On January
l6, 1888, OIL of an inch of snow fell. On
January q. 1876, February 8. 1888. jan
uary t, 1888, and March 2, 1894, a few
flakes of snow fell. While snow is rare
in San Francisco, yet from the above it is
seen that it has fallen occasionally.
