SAUSAL|TO'S FESTIVAL.

Committee.
ready Being Spoken OF by
Those In Charge.

The water festival for which all Sau-
salito is preparing is dated for somewhere
about October 10. Whether or not it will
come off, however, is dependent upon the
success which will attend the efforts of j..
w. Sperry and John W. Harness, who
have been appointed to canvass for funds.
Should they raise sufficient amount, the
festival is assured. Should gold and
golden promises not be poured into their
hands, Sausalito will see no grand display
upon the water that washes along her
beach.
The money to hold the festival must
come from at least two sources. The hill
side citizens Of Sausalito must put up, and
the transportation companies, which will
profit much by the crowds the event will
attract, are expected to donate portion of
these prospective profits beforehand.
So far plans for the celebration are not
very definite, but some idea of the charac-
ter of it has been settled upon by those in
charge, as result of the numerous dis

kinds, water parades upon the bay in the
lee of the hills, and promenade concerts
upon the beach. Chinese lanterns will be
strung along the water, up the hill, along
the winding streets of the town and in the
riggings of the boats, until sea and shore
are bathed In the soft light from the lus-
trous little globes of tissue-paper.
The parade on the water will include
boats of all sizes, from schooner yachts to
whitehalls and dingies. Floats will be

POTRERO IMPROVEMENTS.
Social Notes and Business Matters From
That District and South San
Francisco.

South San Francisco and the Potrero
continue to show improvements in the
way of new residences and stores. Hardly
a'day passes that does not witness the be-
ginning or completion of some structure.
Around the All Hallows Church neighbor-
hood a number of substantial buildings
are going up, while there are any number
contracted for. City street work is also
keeping pace with the spirit of progress
now predominating in that section. The
grading on Twelfth avenue from to 2
streets is about completed, and that thor
oughfare now presents much altered and
handsome appearance. Work on Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth avenues is also
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The ladies of South San Francisco are
making great preparations for monster
fair, which is to be held in the opera-house
October 3, 4, 5, 6. and s. The proceeds of
the live nights entertainment will be used
to make needed repairs and also to paint
All Hallows church.
Pride of the Forest Circle No. 204, c. o.
+. OF A., will entertain their friends right
royalty at Myrtle Hall next Tuesday even
ing. The affair is termed neglige party,
and promises to be quite a social event.
The selection of site for the affiliated
colleges seems to be disturbing the resi-
dents of the Potrero as much as the COM
mlttee having the matter in hand. There
IS but one sentiment among them, and
that is that the committee should not hest
tate moment about accepting Mr.. Gen.
ter's offer. They point to its central loca-
ton and its easy accessibility from all
parts OF the City as the main reason why
the committee should not overlook it
1t is reported that the Solano-street elec-
trio road will be in operation about the
middle of next month The grading on
Sixteenth street is completed, and the
rails strewn along the roadbed ready to be
laid. This road will be short route to
the Mission and park, and will be of great
benefit to the residents of Southern Heights

Comb Honey.

It requires less skill to secure extracted
than comb honey, and one can obtain
larger crop, usually one-haf more at least,
says Professor A. j. Cook in Rural Califor-
MIA. 1t is also easier and safer to ship ex-
tracted honey long distances. Yet the
ambitious man will not stop before failure
or difficulty, but will push on till success
gives him hearty greeting. There is a
fascination In the production of the ex-
auisite, Immaculate comb honey which is
not enjoyed in working for extracted, and
as success requires more skill and ability
this fact gives added pleasure. With the
skill and tact required to secure a full
yield of comb comes added profit, as the
price of comb honey Is always much
higher than that of extracted. Comb
honey is luxury and mainly graces the
find the market, if of fine quality and APP
pearance, at high price. Indeed, It's
very beauty will find it market.
Comb honey should be secured in the
beautiful white one-pound sections. These
are so white and beautiful, and the size so
convenient, that they soon drive all other
comb honey from the market. The small
size, just enough for one meal, brings
ready sale on the principle that the penny
package sells so well.
The one-piece section is probably the
most popular, though many of our best
beekeepers prefer and use only the four
piece sections.
The sections should be placed in a super,
and on the hives as soon as the bees begin
gathering rapidly from the early flowers.
This may prevent swarming, and in such
case is sure to bring good yield. As soon
as the bees are well at work it is wise to
raise this super of sections ana place a Sec
ond under it, and SO on, if necessary for a
third and fourth.
In case the bees swarm they should be
hived on foundation, and the super of Sec
tions moved to this hive. They will often
commence to work on the sections at once,
in which case we proceed as before, and
often secure fine crop of honey.
1t is we'll to leave the honey in the hives
until some time after it is fully capped.
This gives it good body, though if re-
moved as soon as it is all capped over, it
will be white and so sell better. To remove
the bees from the sections we have only to
place board, with bee-escape in it, be-
tween the super and the hive at night. In
the morning the bees will all have left the
super, and it can be carried into the honey
house. The bee-escape permits the bees to
pass from the super to the hive, but pre-
cludes their return. It is very convenient
and saves much time in shaking and brush
ing bees.
Care must be taken that the bee moth
does not get to comb honey and stock it
with eggs, as they will surely ruin it.
In shipping comb honey the shipping
crate should not hold more than twelve
pounds; should have glass sides, 60 as to
show that the contents are fragile, and
should be so placed that the comb will run
endwise of the car. This prevents the
comb from breaking out.
1t is hardly necessary in these days of
better morality and knowledge to say the
honey should be thoroughly graded. 1t is
and address on each crate, as this is good
way to advertise his product.

THE GOETHE SCHILLER FUND.
Great Preparations Being Made for the
Coming Festival.

Coming Festival.
At a recent meeting of the Goethe
Schiller Monument Association nearly $50
ladies met to form ladies' auxiliary to
the association to assist the executive COM
nlittee In arranging for grand festival to
be held in the Mechanics Pavilion. Mrs.
F. Hess, Mrs. W. G. Hildebrandt and Mrs.
DR.. J. Regensburger were appointed as a
committee to select twelve ladies who will
act as an executive committee of the
auxiliary. At a meeting held on Monday
the committee reported the following
names:
Mrs. B. Broemmel, Mrs. C. Bundschu, Mrs
c. Fechheimer, Mrs G. Gerst, Mrs. NJ. Green
blatt. Mrs. l. Hecht, Mrs. F. Heseman, Mrs c..
Mueser, Mrs. f. C.Priber, Mrs L. Oesterreicher,
Mrs. C. Mau, Mrs. A. Schmidt, Mrs. r. Schmid,
Mrs. R. Toeph, Mrs. c. Vollmann, Mrs. R. E..
Walter, Mrs R. Wienecke and Mrs. NJ Wunsch.
The committee stated that it was deemed
advisable to select eighteen names instead
of twelve and with their own names added
twenty-one ladies'.
When the scope of the festival was ex-
planned to them the ladies were advised to
organize in sections. 1t was suggested that
they ask all the ladies and gentlemen in
terested in the monument in Golden Gate
Park to assist them. The committee was
requested to make a report at the next
meeting, when the artists engaged by the
association to perfect plans for representa-
lions will also report Each section will
then be assigned TO its particular part or
sphere of usefulness.
The association has determined that as
the fund necessary to be raised will not be
as large as at the last fair, more attention
will be paid to the artistic details of the
festival than if the committees sole object
was to raise money. The intention is that
the general public shall receive twice the
value of the admission fee and will not
feel obliged to expend any more money
than they feel inclined to give.

ROBBED WHILE ASLEEP,
The Experience of John Digan,
a PrOOf-reader From
New York.
He Fell Among Thieves in q Lodg-
lighthouse on Pine and Dupont
Streets.

Richard Kelly, an ex-convict, F. Defgan
and Emma Roberts were booked at the
City Prison yesterday by Officers Reynolds,
Wren and Campbell on the charge of grand
larceny.
The complaining witness is John Digan,
an ex-proof-reader on the New York Irish
World. Digan arrived in the city few
days ago and engaged room in lodging
house on Pine street.
When he reached his room last Friday
night he found the woman Roberts there.
He put her out and then retired for the
night. He had $3.50 in greenbacks rolled
up in napkin which, before retiring, he
put in pocket of his trousers. For safety
he placed his trousers at the head of his
pillow, but next morning he found that the
napkin with the greenbacks, his gold
watch and diamond pin had disappeared.
Digan reported his loss at police head
quarters and Kelly, Defgan and the woman
Roberts were arrested. Sergeant Price re-
covered the watch and napkin containing
the money from saloon-keeper on Third
and Howard streets and took them to
headquarters. When the money was
counted it was found that $3.50 of the $3.50
was in Confederate bills.
Kelly admitted giving the watch and
money to the saloon-keeper and declared
that the $3.50 was all in greenbacks at that
time. The saloon-keeper denies opening
the napkin after receiving it from Kelly.
Whether the police will take any action in
regard to the saloon-keeper for receiving
the stolen goods has not yet been deter
mined.
Kelly has served several terms for rob-
berry. His last sentence was fourteen
years and he was released from San Quen-
tin year ago. Defgan is not known to
the police

He Only Joined the Conspirators in Or.
der to Assist the Governments
Chief Witness.
Attorney Carroll Cook made the opening
statement for the defense in the case of f.
ID. Ciprico, charged with conspiring to
forge and issue Chinese certificates, yester-
day. The counts in which the prisoner is
charged with forging and uttering were
dismissed on Mr.. Cooks motion and with
the consent of the District Attorney, and
Ciprico was then permitted to frame his
defense on the charge of conspiracy alone.
After this matter was settled Cook then
asked that all the hearsay evidence given
by y. r. Stidger, the Governments wit
ness, be stricken out on the ground that it
was not admissible under the rules of EVIL
dence. Judge Morrow thought differently,
however, and allowed the testimony to go
in his own behalf and swore that he went
into the plot to aid Stidger. His state
ment of all the facts In the case did not
vary much from the story told on the
stand by the Government witnesses, but of
course different conclusions were drawn.
He told of all the meetings held by Foss,
Greenwald, Katzauer and himself, and
said that in the opium deals Foss was to
get half and in the certificate deals Kat
zauer was to get half. The other halves
were to be divided between the remaining
conspirators. This was because FOss and
Katzauer were the moneyed members of the
gang. Into all these schemes Clprico en-
tered merely to assist the Government in
catching the real culprits. At P. NJ. Cook
had not concluded his address to the jury,
and Will continue to-day at IL A. NJ.

Wheat Yield Tests.

HI. Waters, professor of agriculture at
the Pennsylvania Experiment Station, has
just issued a report of the comparison of
new and standard varities of wheat. The
experiment was begun in 1890 and has
been continued during the present season.
The varieties were grown under as nearly
similar conditions of soil, exposure, fertili-
zers, drainage, culture, etc., as possible,
and the yields reported below are from

Acid and Alkaline Soils.

That it will not do to treat all soils alike,
so far as the application of alkaline or acid
substances is concerned, is fact which
just at this time has appeared very plain
to me. With view of trying the effects
of granulated sulphate of copper as direct
application, along in the furrow with the
seed, for potato scab, made number of
experiments on different plats. In one in
stance the soil was evidently quite acid
already. 1t is thought that scab cannot
live in an acid soil. To make sure thing
still surer applied thirty pounds of cop
per sulphate in the manner mentioned to
about a quarter of an acre on lot of Car
man No. potatoes.
Next to this is another quarter of an
acre planted to the same variety and in the
same manner, except that no copper sui
phate was applied. The copper applica-
ton seemed to have an injurious effect on
the termination of the seed in this acid
soil, as it retarded growth to such an ex-
tent that six coppered rows look now as if
planted two weeks later than the others,
while in fact they were the first planted
In another part of the grounds, and on soil
that is evidently alkaline (from yearly ap-
plications of barnyard manure, nitrate of
soda, ashes, etc., l applied copper sui
phate in the same manner to one of the
long rows of early Ohio potatoes without
apparent bad effect. What the effects will
be on the scab and yield time will soon
tell.-T. Greiner in Farm and Fireside.

A STOCKHOLDERS SUIT.
Robert A. Friederich's Charges Against
the Sunset Vineyard Company's
DirectOrs

Robert A. Frederick, stakeholder in
the Sunset Vineyard Company, has begun
suit to have a recent assessment of 50 per
share declared illegal. He declares that
the corporation is insolvent and that its
business has been mismanaged. The de-
PENDANTS named in the complaint are the
directors: Finlay Cook, S. F. Long, G. d..
Coon, Donzel Stoney and E. E. Bush.
Mr.. Friedrich states that the business
of the corporation has been mismanaged
and that the directors and their predeces-
sors have failed to properly cultivate, har-
vest and manage the crops, whereby the
affairs of the corporation have been re-
duced to a ruinous condition.
The capital stock, he declares, Is divided
into 500 shares valued at 500 each, and
the directors own but one share each. Only
767 shares were issued, and of the !67
shares issued PIG have been bought in by
the corporation for the non-payment OF
assessments, leaving but 546 shares repre-
sented The plaintiff owns 27S shares, or
q majority.
The corporation owns 200 acres of land
in Kings County worth about 100000.
There are mortgages of $23, 900 and other
debts amounting to $4,000.
Mr.. Frederick asks that receiver be
appointed and that the recent assessment
be declared illegal.

Professor Cooks Good Advice
About Comb and Extracted
Honey for the Market.

A good sheep man claims that in long
wooded sheep, size is easier to maintain
than quality, while with down sheep quail
lty is more easily maintained than size, so
that in selecting the sheep for breeders this
fact should not be overlooked.
The life OF a farmer has often been called
a life of dradgery. There is no occupation
that has larger ratio of inspiring labor
to one whose tastes are in harmony with
rurul life, says Colmans Rural World,
The weak point in American farming has
been the lack of appreciation of the equip
ments necessary to a successful career.
Too many men have been willing to be
thieves, of the soils resources that they
might swell their bank accounts. To
the young man or woman fairly we'll edu-
Gated, there is no more promising field of
enterprise.
Referring to the extensive orchard of the
Visalia Fruit and Land Company the vi
salia Times says: Perhaps there is no
other orchard that has proven such a
financial success from the start. The first
year after planting there was, of course. no
income, but the second year there was an
income of $500; the third year, SD, 800,
and the fourth or present season it will
probably amount to $25, 600. Results count
and such figures are incontrovertible.
These returns are from something over 200
acres of bearing orchard, mostly peaches
and prunes. The orchard occupies several
hundred acres.
The Nebraska Agricultural Experiment
Station has issued a bulletin, from which
the following practical conclusions are
drawn: Grafting-wax proves better than
soil or cow manure in application to in
juries from mice and rabbits. Trees in
cultivated soil have darker and more
vigorous foliage than those in sod ground,
with less yellowing, dropping Of leaves or
whiting in hot, windy days. Apples aver
aged IA per cent greater weight on Guilt
waited than on pasture land, and IL per
cent greater than on moved land. AS to
moisture, for every 100 barrels of water in
20 inches depth of soil on sod land there
were 40 in cultivated land. Evaporation,
as any one might suppose, was found pro-
portionate to velocity OF wind.
With ten acres of land, fair barn and
shed buildings and comfortable living
house on it, young, ambitious farmer can
make more than good living by conf
bination of dairying, swine and poultry
raising and beekeeping, says the editor OF
the Cottage Grove (Or.) Echo-Leader.
This was tried by the writer for many
years, and after making money at it he
must be excused for any overzealousness
in claiming that the four things form a
most excellent combination. The original
idea when he took the small farm was to
go into the dairy business. He started in
a modest way with few cows. Butter
making was his chief aim, and he sue
ceeded in making such good quality that
it always brought the highest price.
