To accurately describe the typical
American girl seems almost impossible,
for each state and city has its own par
ticular type Of reigning belle. There is
the New York girl, and the Boston girl.
and the Chicago girl, and the California
girl. Of whose mental and physical at

The last bulletin of the State board OF

from Hancock county farmers

was spread on last fall on top OF the fur

1t looks now a. though the cheap fertil-

venient TO apply the dressing as fast as 1t
is made, keep Il in a shed, cellar or some
place " here losses by teaching and evap-
Grafton can be prevented. Spread the
manure and work thoroughly into the
soil Would prefer using barn manures
on hoed crops and buy fertilizers for
grain and grass. Don't waste your time
digging muck except to use an alb
scrbont. Ii will pay better to work out
and buy fertilizers. Don't buy stable
manure unless YOU are sure you are get
ting a good trade, a. in so doing you buy
an uncertain quantity OF an uncertain
quality. Learn what you can about agri-
cultural chemistry, and keep posted on
fertilizers, and the comparative values Of
the different brands. In sowing fertilizers
try and do SO when there is no wind.
Remember that you can't get something
from nothing, and in order TO increase
the fertility OF your farm You must
either buy stock feeds or fertilizers.

the last twelve days outside the city limits
alone, as four miles of track were down
here before the work was begun on the
line outside the city. The construction
train is now making five trips daily to the
scene of operations. A force of men are at
work In the upper and another at the Nor
mon slough material yards loading rails
on the cars as they are pushed down on
the side tracks.
Tomorrow Grant Bros. will make their
last move. They will break camp on the
Sargent ranch during the day, and by
noon the next day they will water their
teams at the Stanislaus River. Work on
the last stretch of the road will be begun
at once, and 1t is estimated that under
favorable conditions the last dirt on this
section Of the San Joaquin Valley road Will
be thrown in ten DAYS.
The abutments for the Mormon slough
bridge are being put in TO last a century.
Superintendent of Construction Wilbur is
having deep excavation made on the
north side, which is to be filled in with a
cement-ike mixture, and in this the heavy
piles for supports will be grounded.
Forty teams were at work to-day raising
the lower section of the Mormon slough
yards above the high-water mark. This
scene Of activity is repeated all along the
line.

that city arrived here tonight and at once
recognized Evans as having gone under
the name of A. C. Arlington, and who is

again April s, 1887. for ten years for the
same offense. He was first sentenced under
the name Charles Hebron and for his Sec
ond sentence under the name of L. Miller.
Chief Kidward says Arlington is one of
the smoo.hest all-around swindlers in the
State.
The money Evans borrowed in Suisun
was repaid to-day by a woman who came
here from San Francisco last evening and
claims to be the wife of Evans. She regis
tered at the Arlington Hotel as A. l.. Hop
kins. Chief Kidward will be permitted to
take mis- man to San Jose tomorrow to

and Guaymas, is in Jail at Guaymas.
charged with running his engine over and
killing a drunken Mexican, who was found
dead on the track on the night OF October
II. 1t was dark night and the engineer
did not see the man on the track.
Shoemaker went to Guaymas on No
VEN Der 4 to give evidence in the case,
when the Mexican authorities threw him
in Jail, in solitary confinement, to subsist
on bread and water. No friends were al
lowed to see him. The authorities refuse
to give him hearing or accept bail, and
keep an armed guard over him. His friends
fear he will be shot before the United
States Government can interfere. The
railroad people think the MeXicans intend
TO make an ample of him.
United States Consul Frank W. Roberts
at Nogales, Sonora, wired Secretary Olney
this afternoon all the facts, and the l. O..
o. T. lodge, of which Schoonmaker is q
member, also wired the department. ask
ing that speedy action be taken, as his life
is in imminent danger.
Shoemaker is popular man and has
many friends here, who are excited over
the affair. Some even want to organize a
party to go down and attempt to take the
prisoner away. His wife and two children
at Nogales are frantic with fear as to the
outcome.

Evans, Alias Arlington, Wanted at
San Jose, Jailed at
SuiSun.

SUISUN, CAL, Nov. About ten days
ago a fairly well-dressed man came to
Suisun and registered at the Suisun Hotel
under the name of A. P. Evans. He was
well supplied with money, and said he
was one of the Police Judges of San Fran
cisco.
For several days he drank heavily and
lived on fried chicken and oyster cock
tails. consuming more food than an
ordinary mortal would.
stThings went along smoothly until his
funds gave out. He then set about to get
another supply. He first visited the bank
of Suisun and wanted 10 negotiate a loan,
but B anker Robbins soon relieved him OF
any such hopes. He did, however, induce
a milliner here to loan him $40, saying he
would receive $500 the following day.
He had selected quite lot of millinery
stock for the female members of his
family, as he said, and promised to pay
for his purchases and take them away
when he returned the borrowed money.
After the time had lapsed for the pay
ment of the borrowed money, warrant
was placed in Constable Fitzpatrick s
hands and an arrest followed. He was
brought before Justice Maynard, who
placed him under $500 bonds. Pending
examination, being unable to secure
bondsmen, he was remanded to the
county Jail.

Cham Der of Commerce. President Spreck-
els and party expressed themselves as well
satisfied with everything they saw in the
ride through the city and country. The
Q-street route for the road through the

satisfactory to the visitors. This was
President Spreckels' first visit to Fresno
and he was much impressed with the

Resolutions Requesting the Ap-
pointment of More Commits
sioners of Horticulture.
FAVOR THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Many Interesting Topics Discussed,
and Respects to Senator Bucks
Memory.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. THE third
DAVIS session Of the California State Fruit
Growers convention was opened by the
reading OF an essay on the Goblin moth
and the method OF its determination, by
Alexander Craw, State Quarantine Officer.
He made the claim that an adulterated
quality of paris green was being disposed
of among the fruit-growers of the State,
which was simply worthless for spraying
purposes. In speaking of the amount of
this poison TO be used in solution he gave
it as one pound to 200 gallons of cold
water and directed that the trees be
sprayed three times.
The second spraying is to take place
twelve days after the first, and the third
spraying three weeks later.
The cost of paris green, which was
manufactured in the main in New York,
was from 20 TO 221I cents per pound by
wholesale, and any of that article that was
offered for sale at lower figure was Ger
tainly worthless. He advocated buying
pure paris green. mixing lime water in the
solution, spraying with care at the proper
season, and the result would be a sound
crop.
The following resolution was introduced
by Major Berry of Tulare County:
WHEREAS, The fruit interests OF Caltfornis
demand the protection from insect pests and
diseases provided by law; and whereas, many
counties with valuable fruit interests, particu
larry in the northern part of the State, are g:
yet without county boards of horticultural
commissioners; therefore, be it
Resolred, by the fruit-growers of California
in conventio assembled at Sacramento, No
vember z, 1895, That we do request the Board:
OF Supervisors in the various counties TO i'm
mediately appoint horticultural commission
ers, where there are no commissioners al
present; and we further ask that liberal
policy be adopted toward the commissioners
when appointed.
In giving his reasons for presenting the
resolutions, Major Berry said in many
localities there were farmers who ALSO
lutely refused to incur any expense in spray.
ing what few fruit trees they possessed. In
consequence they became the breeding
spots OF all kinds of insect pests, which
spread and multiplied in adjoining
orchards despite every precaution.
If the Horticultural Commissioners were
appointed they would be empowered to
put an end TO this nuisance.
After considerable discussion the resolu-
ton was adopted.

RACING ON THE HIGH SEAS.
american Ship George Curtis and British
Bark Pass of Brander Leave Asto-
rim an q WuCec

ASTORIA, Or, Nov. The American
ship George Curtis, Captain Sproule, and
the British bark Pass of Brander, Captain
McDougall, were towed over the bar at
noon to-day, only cables length apart.
The former sails for Barrow, England, d.
rect, while the latter goes to Queenstown
for orders Each is the highest type OF the
vessels of their respective countries, of
only couple of hundred tons difference in
size. The two captains met last evening
and in talking over the passage and their
ships bet of $500 was made as to which
would arrive in England first. There was
the best of feeling over the bet, but it will
not prevent the two men from crowding on
every bit of canvas which the sticks will
stand throughout the entire passage.
The two vessels were scarcely over the
bar when they began to loosen sail, and as
they passed out of sight in fine north
east breeze they were still putting out the
canvas.
Both ships have made the passage in less
than 100 days, and they expect to do it
again this time. There is considerable
interest in this city over the result. The
Curtis seems to be slightly the favorite.
