THE SUNDAY GALL"

The great mass OF newspaper readers de-
mand Of the Sunday paper something
more then record OF the news of the day.
They desire, in addition 10 the inforna-
ton Of current events, variety OF in
structive or entertaining reading, ex-
pressed with an excellence of literary
finish that is in itself charm to every
intelligent and cultured mind
These are the features that conspicu-
ously mark the Sunday CALL, which
render it attractive to the people and vel
come 10 their homes. In the issue of to-
morrow, for example, viii be found not
only all the news OF the day, but many
articles of more than transient interest
and value.
The most striking of these is a eompre-
hensive account by Flora Haines Loug-
head OF the recent startling upheaval OF
the island Of San Miguel. Several accounts
OF this extraordinary event have been given
from time TO time in kilograms, but no
complete and accurate description, by a
correspondent who actually visited the
island and gathered q full report of the
course and the effects of the upheaval, has
yet been published; the article in the CALL
tomorrow, therefore, will have the value
Of news as well as that of scientific in
terest.
Another notable article will be an &C.
count by the Hon. Joseph Medill of his
first interview with Lincoln. This is a
graphic sketch of an incident in the life OF
the most attractive figure in American his
tory and will be sure 70 interest every body.
Captain Charles Kings story of Fort
Frayne" is continued and grows in dra-
matte force with each succeeding chapter
1t may interest our readers to know that
Captain King has been recently appointed
acknowledgement of Minnesota. and con-
tinues 10 concern himself with the military
life he describes so well in his novels
There remains host of other excellent
articles too numerous TO mention, but
which the reader must not overlook One
Of these, indeed, "Idyls of the FieIds,'' is
delightful sketch by a naturalist, which
will open new avenues of pleasure to those
who are able TO get out in the fields in
these days and study the varied life which
goes on there: a life. some OF whose most
curious phases are depicted in the sketch.
A full days good reading, in fact, will be
found in the CALL tomorrow and no one
should miss it.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-13
A DEMAND FOR PRUEES.

We had occasion few days ago to call
attention to citizen of Brooklyn who has
declared an intention to sue the proprietors
of hotel in that city for not giving him
stewed prunes at his meals We know not
what relief the law of New York affords for
wrong of this kind, but as there should
certainly be some remedy for the sufferer
and some punishment for the wrongdoer
We commend the action of the hero who
proposes to make the contest, put the law
70 the test and determine whether an
American citizen can be arbitrarily de-
priTed OF the luscious prune at the whim
of landlord.
We presume the plaintiff in the case will
base his claim for damages and redress
upon the unassailable ground that the
service Of prunes is a prime duty of all
American hotels and boarding houses. A
private family in the indulgence of within.
folly or ignorance may exclude the prune.
but no one who keeps a public table of
any kind should be permitted to do so.
The unfortunate American who is COM
PEELED to board, if he sees upon the table
no prunes, hardly knows if he is in his
native land. In certain sense he is ex-
patriated by being robbed of the most
familiar table mark Of his country.
The man who seeks to enforce the ser
vice of prunes in ell hotels is, moreover. a
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-13

sanitary benefactor of his countrymen.
No food is more healthful than the prune.
II is soothing, Strengthening, stimulating
and invigorating. 1t aids digestion, puri-
fes the blood, tones up the stomach,
solidifies the flesh, gives fiexibility to the
muscles, improves the complexion and in
PRODUCES something Of the glow of Califor-
MIA into the system. 1t is at once luxury
and necessity, delicious food for the
poor and an exquisite medicine for the
rich, who need its healthful juices to aid
the assimilation OF their highly spiced
viands.
In addition to the benefit to individuals,
the eating of prunes has healthful effect
on the National life. As the prune is grown
in California and is 20 be consumed in New
York, it passes through the arteries of
trade and puts into lively circulation the
money that is the life blood of business.
In this way it helps the Nation to digest
its affairs and brings all parts OF the coun-
try into a vigorous cooperation. The
Brooklyn man, therefore, is a patriot as
well as phiianthropist and deserves the
protection of the laws OF the country he
so faithfully serves.

ADMIRABLE WORK.

In sending out special train for the
purpose of securing subscriptions to the
shares OF the San Francisco and San Joa-
quin Valley Railroad, the Examiner has
displayed not only true journalistic enter
prise, but also an earnest aud intelligent
effort to assist in the great work of secur-
ing a competing railroad. 1t is highly
gratifying to observe that the Examiners
experiment is meeting with splendid
success. At Stockton the train was
given an ovation, and similar enthusiasm
will doubtless be exhibited all along the
line. But the welcome which it receives is
not wholly that which is expressed in
cheers; the people are coming forward and
subscribing freely to shares, and that is the
true test of a popular desire for the
peoples road. The Examiner is simplify
ing the work of the directors, earning the
gratitude OF the public and giving the
well-wishers of the new road an opportun-
ity to show their mettle.

FAIR FOR ALL.

The utter decentralization of the Demo
cratic party and the complete collapse OF
Populism has rendered it as near certain
as anything in the future can be that the
Republican convention in 1896 will fix in
its platform the policy of the Government
for the succeeding four years and name
the President.
The greatness OF the opportunity before
the Republican party charges it with a
serious responsibility and threatens it
with some dangers. The party has now
such vast preponderance of voters and
such an overwhelming prestige in the
country that all the great conflicting in
terests in the Union will seek to obtain its
support and win its favor. Moreover,
every great leader of the party will Justly
be ambitious of the high honor of being
chosen as the head of the ticket in the
campaign and elected as the chief execu-
tive OF the Nation IN carry ing out its great
policies. Evidences Of possible conflicts
arising from these varied forces are already
at hand, and in the Eastern States from
the Missouri River to the Atlantic they are
already engaging the supporters of ALI
son, Mckinley, Reed and Clarkson in what
seems to be an active canvass for the nomi-
nation.
Under these circumstances, the party
managers can hardly overlook the i'm
portance of holding the convention in a
city where there is no local preference for
any particular candidate, nor can they be
ignorant of the fact that the best city in
that respect is San Francisco. here on the
shores of the Pacific all Republicans honor
the leaders of the party with an equal loy-
atty. To our people Ohio and Maine are
both Eastern States, and there are no local
preferences or prejudices to affect the
choice OF the favored son of either of them
as against the other. The Pacific Coast
has no candidate of her own and no de-
cided favorite among the Eastern candi-
dates. Here, therefore, can be found the
fairest and most equal terms for all. Here
is the one great city in the Union where
there will be no local feeling to affect the
course OF the great contest over the Sc
lection Of the standard-be of the party
1t would be an act of absolute impartiality
between the rival candidates for the Ma
tional Committee to call the convention to

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

There is little doubt OF an early revival of the
mining industry in California. Prospectors
will search the mountains of the State the
coming summer more Systematically and more
thoroughly than has been done any previous
season. This must result in new and important
discoveries. Then, too, there are indications
OF renewed activity in the working of the old
and well-known mines. Colorado pressed Cali
fornia closely last year in gold production, but
our State bids fair to make great deal better
record this year.-Ssnta Rosa Republican.
Talk up your town. Don't run it down. If
you do not like it leave it, but don't stay here
and abuse it. As long as you choose to reside
here you are a component part of the place,
and are very foolish TO seek your own dispar-
agement Talk up your town, write and speak
in its praise, and show yourself worthy OF your
home and your friends.-Elko Free Press.
Capital punishment for train robbery should
be incorporated into the laws OF every State in
the Union. 1t is as much q crime as piracy
and on the same level as robbery by banditti,
and deserves the same prompt punishment as
is melted out 10 those who engage in either of
the last-named nefarious eallings.-San Diego
Union.
Marriage by contract is thing of the past in
California, and hereafter the man and the
woman who would enter wedlock must marry
in the face OF the world. Such law ten years
ago would have done much to check the black
mail that has swept over the State like tidal

UP-To-DATE IDEAS.

The discovery of practical unieycle has
more than once been announced. Boulanger,
formerly OF Springfield but now of Boston, at
traeted wide attention few years ago with
his invention in this line, but that particular
unicycle has yet TO prove practicable. Mr..
Boulanger, however, is satisfied that he win
yet produce wheel which viii create Eeyolu-
ton in the cycling world.
While Boulsnger has been working over his
model, another man, Higley by name, has in
vented unicycle that, in the opinion of ex-
perts, is des tined TO prove successful. This
unicycle is OF a far different breed from that
OF Boulanger's, and has been ridden through
the streets OF Boston. In comparison with the
safety OF to-day, the unicycle seems large and
unwieldy, but those who have ridden il claim
that 1t is as easy of manipulation as any
safety, says the Boston Herald OF week ago.
An inspection shows an immense wheel of
aluminium, fitted with two-inch pneumatic
tires. The spokes are of steel, but instead OF
running TO small hub, they run 10 an inner
circumference forty-two inches in diameter.
In this inner circle is placed the seat, which
moves backward or forward, according TO the
motion OF the outer rim. The pedals are ar
ranged as on the Kangaroo bicycle of other
days, while the chains run around wheels at
tached to the inner circumference to the
sproeket wheel. The revolving OF the two
wheels on the inner circumference creates the
friction by which the machine is propelled.
The inner circumference is perfectly smooth,
while the seat rests on ball bearings located in
the groove OF the circumference.
Aluminium has been used in ali parts of the
machine, but, it having cracked in the inner
circumference through the friction it has been
decided 70 try wood. There are ninety-six
steel spokes and sixteen wooden spokes on this
machine and the number of the latter is to be
increased in the next unicyeles constructed.
The wheel itself is feet inches in diameter,
weighs 81 pounds and can be geared as de-
sired.

pert trick rider, was the first man to mount and
ride this innovation and he did it successfully

be. Mrs. Edwards hoped 10 see her brother
alive and TO nurse him, but now she has to
content herself with looking after his win and
his estate. She said yesterday that she would
gladly spend all her brothers estate in prose
cutting the case against his murderer If she
thought he would be hanged. Plouf used to
be a familiar figure in the Palace Hotel Office
and court, where he would appear in elegant
and costly clothes, with tremendous diamonds
in his shirt bosom and on his fingers, and IN
variably with three English mastifs, to which
he appeared to be more closely attached than
to anybody in San Francisco.
Assemblyman James II. Tibbitts, who repre-
sented Amador County in the last Legislature,
is greatly pleased az the Governor signing his
bin authorizing the appointment Of alternate
Jurors. He explained last night how he came
to introduce the measure.
ait ell came about through the shooting of
Express Messenger Tovey by highwayman,'
said he.
"a man named Evans was arrested. The
jury was chosen and the trial began. First one
juror took sick and there was an adjournment.
Then another became i'll and the case was
postponed further. At last, after going TO an
expense of almost $500 in cash, not counting
the time wasted, the jury was discharged, q
new jury impaneled and the trial begun over
again.
"Under the new system, there viii be Two
extra jurors who viii listen 10 the testimony.
Should one OF the active jurors become in
capacitated for duty, his place viii be filed
by one of the alternates, and the case be
brought to completion.
"By the way added the Assemblyman,
meditatively, they sent that man Evans TO
San Quentin for the shooting. 1 don't think
he's guilty, though.
"He confessed to the crime, but none Of his
statements could be verified and he is known
10 be mentally unsound. You need not be sur
prised if the real highwayman is arrested for
that murder some day.

that he had received some information that
would, he thought, eventually result in putting
another man in the striped suit now worn by
Evans"

Titled Kleptomaniacs

To believe French writer, there are no
fewer than 400 women caught every wear
in stealing during shopping expeditions a
habit euphoniously styled k1eptomapia.
The number of titled ladies seized with
this strange malady while examining the
fashions in Paris, he tells Us. is almost in
credible.
Among the most recent culprits were
Russian Princess, a French Countess. an
English Duchess and the daughter Of 8
reigning. sovereign. As a rule, these more
distinguished offenders are let of on the
payment of q round sum for the relief of
the poor, and when the shoplifter is known
to be rich the sum exacted rises TO as much
as 10000 francs. The police authorities
consent to this sort of eondonation.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

a curious feature of the regulations is
sued from Washington to govern collec.
tons under the income tax law is that
prizes won in lotteries are taxable. II
would be Just as well to tax the products
OF burglaries and robberies, for lotteries, no
less than they, are outlawed, and hence
money secured through such prizes is an
unlawful acquisition. A law providing for
