Tho match between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons seems destined to die of inani-
ton as did tho Corbett-Jackson affair.
But it has served its purpose, riveted at
tention upon the pugilistic actor. With
out n prospective match on his bill
boards an actor of the Corbctt stamp is
as helpless as n tiger without teeth or
claws. With the prospect of q fight
ahead of him Corbett's theatrical BUSH
ness is worth twice as much to him as it
would otherwise be. He may affect to
rise superior TO the business that made
him famous, but he must make public
use of IL if he does not wish to have his
show venture dcpreciato in value.
There is n feeling among people versed
in matters pugilstic that causes them to
think that Corbett does not mean nor
over did mean to meet the lanky kanga-
roo in tho ring. His present agreement
with Fitzsimmons may DO taken as an
evidence of his desire to appear in the
ring. but few people posted in the politics
of the ring allow themselves to entertain
the idea that all this bombastic talk and
money posting means that there is going
to be fight and that the gentleman who
sports the pompndour and the gangling
blacksmith will be the principles.
That Corbett does not want to fight with
jackson or Fitzsimmons is made evident
by the method of his matchmaking. When
he was eager to meet Sullivan he went to
work calmly, quietly and pursued a vigor-
GUS policy that overcame all obstacles. 1t
was the same story with Mitchell. Neither
of these men wanted to fight, but when the
Californian goes out after a man he has
the faculty of making him como to terms,
irrespective of his own preferences in the

WHINING CHILDREN.

DIR. Mary Wood d-Allen writing in
Womankind of breaking children of
the habit of whining says: " In this
case, should say, that the first thing
to do is to secure the cordial co-opera-
tion of every other adult member of the
family. Let there be united purpose
never to give to the child that for
which he whines, even if it would be
given to him otherwise. Give him to
understand this in firm but gentle
way. and if possible secure his approval
of the idea. Tell him kindly of the
evil of the habit, the unhappiness it
causes him and every one else. show
him that it is creating a habit for the
future years and tell him you are all
going to help him to overcome it. Let
him feel that your refusal to grant his
whining requests are to aid him, not to
punish him. Then steadily, persistent
ly, sweetly, and firmly, adhere to this
p olicy. Never once yield to his insist
ence, but always recognize his attempt
to meet your wishes in a pleasant man.

If the thing he wants is something
be should not have, tell him so. and
assure him that no amount Of whin-
ing will secure it, and then let him
whine. Wait, don't scold, don't
tantalize, don't appear to be either dis
turbed or moved by his whining. If
what he desires is something he can
have, and he whines for it, assure him
that as soon as he asks pleasantly he
can have it, and then give him time to
make up his mind to be pleasant. We
are too apt to try to drive our children
rapidly from one frame of mind to
another. Wait patiently, and if possi-
BILE help him by diverting his thoughts
to something agreeable. In few
minutes he will probably get control

PRINCE OSCARS GIFT.

The little German princes. as is well
known, have an English governess. to
whom they are warmly attached. The
lady's birthday occurred recently, and
not only the Emperor and Empress
made her presents. but the young
princes also tried to afford their teacher
some special pleasure. The governess
noticed among the gifts plain little
paper box.
"What is this?" she asked in sur
prise, taking it in her hand.
Seven-year. old Prince Oscar drew
himself up proudly.
"That's from me-" he replied.
"But it is empty" said the teacher.
eyes, it's empty now," answered the
prince. "but tomorrow papa is going
to pull out my first tooth, and the box
is meant for that. I'm going to give
it to you"
The next day the little fellow, BEAM
ing with joy, really did bring the tooth
to the governess, and she now wears
it as a charm on her bracelet.

had watched the prisoner through a
hole in his cell and seen him take the
money from his hat and count it. The

his hands.
Altogether eight boys tried to run
away. -Four reached New York and
wrote back to Mr.. George that they
liked the place, but didn't care to be
arrested by "kid cops"
The other four were pursued and
captured after chase of fifty-seven
miles by the same vigilant officer who
proved the theft. Before starting in
pursuit he had to arrest his superior
officer, a sergeant, who was in league
with the fugitives.
After few days there were distinct
-classes in the community, the prosper
GUS and well-dressed and the shabby
and poverty stricken. Some Of the
boys showed capitalistio genius of a
high order. Two of them made Mr..
George an offer of 81 day rent for
barn. which they proposed to turn into
a summer hotel. 1t was accepted.
The enterprise was success. The
lessees ohristened their barn the Wal
dorf. whitewashed it, put in cots. di-
vided it into rooms with sheets, and
did thriving business at charge of
SO week for board and lodging.
Other offers being made for the barn
they were eventually compelled to pay
~. 30 week rent.
All public officials received salaries.

same time some fruit was given by
outsiders to some of the boys, who were
thus enabled to undersell their compet-
itors who had bought at auction.
Thereupon law was passed imposing
duty of 23 per cent. upon all stuff
brought into the camp for sale.

EGGS ALL SUMMER.

How to induce hens to lay eggs all
summer in California, as they do in
the other States east of us. appears to
be not generally known. and yet it is
a simple thing to do, which the writer
demonstrated twenty years ago in
Santa Barbara with the most saitsfac-
tory results. Carloads of eggs constant.
ly come to California from the East,
and our money is sent away to pay for
them. while the poultry business in
this State is sadly neglected Here is
home industry which can easily be
developed and made an important
factor in the increase of our prosperity
and in the enjoyment Of our people.
The production of fresh ''home-
made" eggs in summer would be no
insignificant item in the development
of home industries. and to that subject
invite the special attention of our
farmers and fruit growers. and ask
them to put to practical test. on
ever SO limited scale if need be, the
method which is herewith submitted,
and to make thorough trial of it.
If the hens have quit laying. a
month or six weeks may be required to
put them in the "notion'' of laying
again.
Every poultryman and every grocery
man in the State knows that after
the fall rains come and the grass grows
for month or so the hens begin to
lay. And why is it? Simply because
they are supplied by nature with the
proper food. The poultryman who
wishes his hens to continue in the bust
ness must offer them the induoement
which nature does when the fall rains
renew the green grass and cool and
moisten the ground; that is. he must
provide them with all the green feed
they will eat, but it may well be cab
bage and vegetables such as hens like
in the place of green grass, and sup
ply of coarse fresh meat in the place
of the worms and bugs which come
with the green grass. They are also
very fond of fresh fruit, tomatoes.
etc., which may be unfit for the market
or which will not pay to ship to the
market.
Hens suffer in summer from the heat,
as anyone who has eyes in his head can
see, but only because they are not
properly protected against it. They
need deep shade and plenty of fresh
water, with fresh, moist earth turned
up daily with the spade or plow for
them to use in cleansing their feathers
and getting rid of vermin. Their yard
and nests should be kept clean and
fresh. the yard cleaned thoroughly
every day. In many places in Cali
fornia the sunfiower will grow as 6
weed if it is planted but will grow
with great vigor if properly cultivated
1t will then afford fine shade for the
hens, though fig trees afford better
shade and leave room for the air too
circulate Sunflower seed is superl
feed for the hens.
These hints will serve to point ou
the way to success in producing eggs
in abundance in summer, if intelligen
men and women will follow then
out with thoroughness in the manage
ment of their poultry. 1t is high tim
for better development of the egg in
dustry. j. A. J.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Building Occupied By Chilean Congress
Burned.
WASHINGTON, June 2o.-Minister
Strobel, at Santiago, has sent the state
department the following: 81 regret
toreport the destruction by fire of the
building occupied by the house of con-
gress. The edifice was regarded as
the finest in Chile. and but little of
the furniture or archives were saved.
The loss is estimated at about 81 ,OOO,-
600 in United States gold without
considering the archives, which can
never be replaced. The building was
begun in 1857, but was not dedicated
until 1876, during the presidency OF
Frederick Errazuris.
while there are rumors that the fire
was the work of incendiaries, it seems
to be more naturally the result of ac-
cident. There were several lighted
stoves in the building, which probably
caused an explosion by escaping gas.
''The government has called for
plans for new building, notifying
congress that on their completion 1T
will ask for it's reconstruction. An
extra session of congress, called to
consider the financial question, is now

After discussing for an hour and 9

mittee on resolutions. This report
which was signed by nine of the Il
members of the committee, indorsed
the administration, and expressed un.
diminished confidence in the Democ.
racy and patriotism of Cleveland and
Carlisle. The names of the president
and secretary of state were received
with cheers.
A minority report was then pre-
sented by ex-Congressmen Ellis, which
favored the coinage of gold and silver
into legal tender dollars, receivable
on terms of exact equality.
Ex-Governor McCreary made strong
speech for the majority report, and
was followed by John S. Rhea, who
denounced Cleveland and Carlisle in
bitter terms.
Senator Blackburn also favored the
minority report, and warned the con-
vention against indorsing Sherman
instead of Seffrson.
After further speeches viva voce
vote was taken, which resulted in an
overwhelming majority against the

Charged With the Murder of a Sacra.
mento Couple.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 26-The local
detectives, assisted by well-known
detective from Sacramento, have cap.
tured three men whom, they feel GER
tain, were implicated in the cruel
murder of F. W. L. Weber, the
pioneer grocer of Sacramento, and the
latter's wife, in last December. The
prisoners are Russian exiles from
Siberia, and it is said that John Kobo-
loft, one of the trio, will soon be
charged with the murder of Mr.. and
Mrs. Weber,
According to the story of Ruloffski,
one OF the prisoners, on the night of
December 90 the four made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to garrote a citizen
near the state capitol grounds. They
then resolved to rob some dwelling.
The Weber residence was just oppo-
site the capitol, and they selected it as
being the easiest of access in the
neighborhood. :.
They reached the rear yard by
means of side door, and then went
up the back stairs to the porch just
off the kitchen. The Webers lived in
the second story of the building, the
store below. A window was pried
open which Koboloff picked up on the
porch, and three of the party entered
while the fourth stood guard on the
porch. Weber had been awakened by
the burglars, and, leaving his bed,
went to ascertain the cause. Koho-
loft, according to Ruloffski's story,
stepped behind a door, and when the
old man passed, struck him on the head
with the hatchet, telling him to the
floor. Several more vicious cuts COM
pleted the murder.
Mrs. Weber must have heard the
noise in the rear, for she followed her
husband, only to meet the same fate.
The murderers, then helped them
selves to everything of value they could
find and departed.

A WORLD CHARACTER.

One of the circumstances leading to
the dissolution of the Roseberry min
istry was the defeat of the bill appro-
priating a certain amount for the erec-
tion of a monument to the great COM
moner, Oliver Cromwell, which was
strongly opposed by the Irish mem
bers. The government has given
signs of weakness for some time past,
and the vote on the Cromwell monu-
ment sealed its doom. From these oc-
currences, and from which such an i'm
portant effect has resulted, the charac-
ter of Cromwell becomes of great in
terest.
There is no more important epoch
in the history of England than that
relating to the arbitrary sway of
Charles /, when the constitution was
ruthlessly trod under foot, and Eng

we'll, assumed position in history
