Irrigation in Kings County is being
pushed, as the following from the Hanford
Sentinel indicates: Surveyors are at work
on the West Side surveying for big ditch
leading from the mouth of Kings River
southwesterly to the bluff, near the old
original adobe, where they will put in two
great pumping plants. e. D. Jones met
the crew at McKenna's well. Charles
Crocker is at the head of the enterprise,
which is being worked under the auspices
OF the West Side Canal and Land Com
pany."
The defeat in Kings County at popular
election of the proposition to issue bonds
TO the amount of 1000 for the erection OF
needed county buildings leads the Hanford
Sentinel to explain that had the amount
been liked at $3.50 the bonds would have
PROBABLY carried. and for that reason it
suggests that the Supervisors call another
election for bonds to that amount. Kings
is new county and is greatly in need OF
pup1c buildings. We are not apprised of
all the facts in the case, but the chances
are that 1t is paying more in rentals than
the interest on $4,000 in bonds would
amount to. That. however, is compare
lively small consideration. Adequate
pubic buildings are rightly regarded a. a
manifestation both of the prosperity and
the enterprise of community. Kings

He didn't like it at all, but the house de-

"That's what people want" said the

mon of different races comport themselves
in the presence Of Identical emergencies

that he cannot pay his rent, be insists on
remaining In his homestead oil the same,
and when an organized effort Is made to
turn him out he climbs up on to the roof

at the invaders When an Englishman
finds himself in similar predicament, he
breaks the law by stealth-that Is to say,
he moves his furniture secretly, by mid.
night, to another lodging and leaves no
address behind him. And, as all the world
knows, shooting the moon" Is the tech
nioal term for this nefarious performance.

ing the moon" that a great many Of them

CUBAN IRREGULARITIES.
Some OF tho Curious Customs That Con-
front n Yisifor to Havana,


Some OF tho Curious Customs That Com
front . Visitor to Havana.
Ben Stern, New York theatrical man,
tells some amusing incidents connected
with visit he made to Havana.
"Talk about yellow fever" said Mr..
Stern, "you have it in Cuba. 1t Is full OF
it. You have to be very careful how you
live, what you drink, and then you are
fortunate to escape. In the hotels-such
as they are-you find marble floors In
your room you will find little rug near
your bed, and you are supposed to stand on
this rug while dressing
You are warned to keep of the marble
in your bare feet. You may catch yellow
fever. Carpets you have not They hold
tho germs. Ninety per cent Of the houses
arc but single story high. The streets
are just wide enough to allow two small
vehicles to pass, and the sidewalks are
about two feet In width.
but what impressed me is the system Of
taxes-bribe taking and tipping. II you
register at hotel, you place a stamp op-
posite your name II you use a sheet
of paper, you stamp it, and II you go
into public park somebody will ask you
for 10 cents before you sit down. Then
the stamps are only kept in limited guam
titles. asked hotel clerk why they did
not keep a better supply. He declared 1t
was because the next Spanish steamer ar
irving might bring new design, and the
old ones would have to be destroyed at the
cost Of the holder of them. So you see
SPANS way of doing business with her
Cuban subjects They hate their mother
country-1 mean the native Cubans. OF
course, tho Spaniards, strictly speaking,
are more loyal. Unfurl an American flag
in Cuba, and the people fairly 90 wild over
the stars and stripes Unfurl the emblem
Of Spain, and there is not much enthusi'
asm.
1.-THE rules Of the theater are queer: You
pay SO much to get in and then pay for
your seat afterward. No difference if you
had $40 box seat, you would have to pay
an admission fee. Tho system is full of
bother to the patrons Of the places Of
amusement. There are believe, about 80
newspapers printed in Cuba but only
about five attract much attention. All are
printed in Spanish. About tho only Amer
leans you see are in one hotel, and when
you leave there you are among the Cubans
entirely. The system of collecting duties
is very lax-full of temptations for brib-
cry, which, am told, is one OF the worst
evils Of the island. The Spanish govern
ment has everything of an official character
under its control, which makes Spain
hated all tho more. There is really but
pno city wherein theatrical attractions pay
that Is Havana. 1t takes as long to get
400 miles into the interior Of the island
sometimes as it does to go from here to
Cuba. 1t is great country in its way"

On Jan. %. 1894, her engagement to

consent At that time several princes
and counts were aspirants for her hand,
but Count Castellane, who had been
the young woman's devoted admirer and
George Gould's personal friend for
number Of months, seems to have won
the coveted prize
Miss Gould Is the younger daughter
Of Jay Gould and is about 81 years OF
age. Her prospective husband, upon

Not long ago Miss Willard was invited

number of semipublic society matinees
at the houses of various Washington not
