CANvAseAcks IN ENGLAND.

Fatc of an Importation Into Great Britain
of an American DcIicacy.
An American woman who is married
to an English squire of high degree
tells the following funny story of the
fate of half dozen canvasbaclx ducks
which she had sent to England as n
present to her mother-in-law. Tho
latter was an excellent housekeeper
and had profcsscd herself to be anx-
ious to taste the renowned trans-At-
lantic dainty which she had heard SO
eXtravagantly praised. Carefully
packed in ice, the game arrived in good
condition, and Lady M, the recipi-
ent, invited couple of friends to par
take of the much-vaunted delicacy.
Fancy my feeling" said the pretty
American. describing tho affair after
ward, when n pair Of ducks were
brought on the table done to death
and stuffed with onions, sage and pota-
toes, while my fathcr-in-law, carefully
carving up the entire bird, legs, wings
and all, distributed tho portions to o
party of six! could have shed tears,
and the climax was reached when,
after enduring disappointed and disap-
proving looks ON the part of the guests,
my belle mere remarked: L must say,
Margaret, that 1 rather prefer our
English duckling to your canvasbacls'
could not tell her that it was tho
ntrocious cooking and stupid carving
that had destroyed the chief of all
game birds. However, the ducks were
there and they had to be disposed of,
and the next day had the pleasure of
eating n pair of my canvasbacls en-
salmi, while the others were actually
ended up in pie! 1t is needless to re-
late the modification 1 suffered or the
vows made never again to introduce
American dainties to British palatcs"

Worst Brand of Whisky.
did you ever see a man on CHINA
mon drunk?" said Tennessee lumber
man to writer for the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. "If you should witness a
case you would never want to see an
other. A few months ago I had three
young men getting out pipe slaves
down in the Tennessee mountains, and
they concluded to have little toot on
pay day. They went to a nearby town,
but failed to get the needed article In

fifteen-cent walls, and is, of course, put
up for flavoring. The boys bought
couple of dozen Of these vinls and be-
gan drinking the essence straight.
When they got back to camp they were
in very bad fix. They were noisy and
violent and reeled and staggered about
helplcssly. One of the boys, quiet,
modest fellow, who was never known
to make any sort of demonstration,
danced and sang like wild man. They
all yelled like demons and acted like so
many lunatics on tear. 1t was
shocking sight. They were pale as
death, and their eyes were set like
cats eyes. To move their sight they
moved their heads. They had no con-
troll over their minds and voices. They
were deathly sick, but their stomachs
could not throw off the horrible dose
they had taken, and thus for three
hours the young men raved and danced
and suffered. How they suffered no
words can tell. 1t took them three
days to get over it. When they got

they meant it. My experience is, and
I have been investigating the subject a
good many years, that the best and
safest indulgence, If man feels like
stirring up his latent powers little, is
good straight whisky. There is no sub
stitute for it that can create as many
grateful emotions, and add as much to
q fellows feelings Of Importance, with
as little discomfort in after effects. I

Some six years ago there lived in the
city OF X--a rather eccentric old
man, remarkable for his shrewdness,
who kept n pork shop. Three young
follows, thinking to have some fun with
him, entered his shop one night and
asked what his pork was yard. The
old man promptly replied: Zone dol
lar" One of the young men then said:
."l1l take yard" "Wherc is your
money!" said the old man. The dollar
was laid down, which the old man
quickly pockcted, and then produced
three pigs feet, with the remark:

With The WIND.
Mexican Miners Separated tho Gold from

Mexican Miners Separated tho Gold from
the Sand.
Riding near the little placer mining
settlement Dolores, in New Mexico,
said q returned tourist, according to
the New York Sun, saw two Nexi-
cans dry washing for gold, and their
proceeding struck me as novel and in
tcresting. They were at work in a dry
gulch, without sign of water in
sight, and had brought the auriferous
sand in baskets to the mouth of the
ravinc, where the wind blew strongly
down the valley. Their washing APP
paratus consisted of heavy army
blanket, in the center of which they
placed about peck of the sand; then,
each Mexican taking hold of the
blanket by the corners, they tossed the
sand high aloft again and again.
The wind blew away the fine sand,
while the heavier particles with the
gold fell straight back into the blanket.
When ut last they paused there re-
manned in the blanket n double hand
full of gravel and heavy sand, in which
glittered few yellow specks of gold
AS we rode on my Mexican driver told
me that the two men were probably
making three or four dollars O day
during the time they worked, but
that as soon as they had made their
"clean up" they would go into Santa
Fe or Cerrillos, sell their gold dust
and squander the last nickel they Ind
in whisky and monte before they would
go back to the gulch to work.

FAIR PRICES FOR FRUIT IN LONDON.
The Demand improves as the Sea-
son Advances.
Good Fruit and Regular Shipments
Should be Sent on Until the
End of the Season.

The California Fruit Transportation
Company yesterday received a cable
gram from W. \. White ~ Co. of Lon
don, quoting the sale on California fruit
which left Sacramento on the 10th inst,
as follows:
Easter Buerres, II shillings; Buerre
Dials, lis; Buerre Clairgeaux, l3s cd;
halves. IS; Buerre Hardys, 14s; Duchesse,
whole boxes, lis 10 16s; halves, IS 90 to 7s
Sd; Colum bias. halves, 5s Sd; Du Comice
halves, los; Flemish, halves, 12s 3D.;
grapes, IS Cd; peaches, average 5s.
The peaches were small and some w ere
unsound. The markets continue rising,
and choice qualities of fruits are wanted.
Buyers want large peaches, and pears are
in demand.
g. II. Appel, the California Fruit
transportation agent here, says these
pears were shipped by the Hemme
orchard and Land Com pany of Hemme
and the National Fruit Association from
Coliax, showing that the quality of fruit
grown in these sections is choice and car
ries well.
"You will notice." said Mr.. Appel to a
/ RECORD MON reporter last evening
that my prophesy has been fulfilled in
/ the increased prices obtained on this con-
signlnenJ, and undoubtedly the outlook
/ for AS good or better prices continues for
! the remainder of the season.
/ There is no question but what these
/ English markets will be opened, and we
! hope that shippers will see their way clear
/ to give us regular shipments, as un-
/ doubtedly it viii prove to their interest
/ financially. The fact of the good keepin
/ qualities of good California fruit-witA
regular supplies for the balance of the
/ season-will work up a reputation for our
/ fruit in England that will be Of benefi
! Tor the opening OF next season."

General Barrett said he could see no
reason why the militia should not pro-

OF course everybody knew to what Mr..
Fitzgerald alluded, and during the short
conversation the chief law officer of the
State took occasional glances at the door
OF the room, which Assistant Clerk Cor
man had accidentally left unlocked.
The last thing done by the board was
to reject the claim of /. Wadham for Sl00
for exporting the books OF the State

on the ground that it was unwsrranted

Henderson. George A. Mckenzie. Dar-
rell Q. Castle and the other defendants in
the case of Powell S. Lawson vs. Adolphus
Hewell and others, have filed u demur-
rer to the complaint.
The complaint of Lawson was to re-
strain the defendants from causing his
suspension or expulsion as Royal Arch
Mason, on account of his connection with
what is known as the Cerneau rite of
Scottish Rite Masonry, which is claimed
to be illegal.
The demurrer claims, among other
things, that there Is a misoinder of de-
PENDANTS; that it does not appear that the
defendants are about to do anything in
violation of plaintiffs rights; that the
court has no Jurisdiction, as, the Ques-
lions involved are those of Masonic dis
cipline, of which the order of Masons has
exclusive jurisdiction, and it does not
appear that the plaintiff has exhausted
the remedies prescribed by the rules
of the order for the grievances of which
he complains.
1t further claims that the complaint is
ambiguous, in that it does not appear
theretrom that the Masonic bodies men
toned i'll it, or some of them. have not
jurisdiction 10 determine all the matters
set forth in the complaint, wherefore, the
defendants demand judgment that Law

Only q Few of the Nominees on the

The Citizens Association held its con.

being OF candidates on the Republican
ticket.
| The meeting was very full one anc
special pains were taken to make it g
strictly secret one, the ubiquitous re-
! porter being carefully barred out. The
Executive Committee held meeting
early in the evening and selected names
| to be presented to the convention from
which it could make choice.
Then the convention met. One of the
! faithful was stationed at the door with 8
book containing the names of members
| had not only to prove it by having his
name found on the list, but had also to
clinch it by paying big, round dollar
before he could GO in.
The meeting was a protracted one, last
ing till IL o'clock, and the program
was shrewdly arranged, the nomination
Tor Mayor coming last. SO as to hold the
full mem bership present to the end.
Those on the Republican ticket who
were indorsed were the Auditor, City
Attorney, Trustee of the Eighth Ward
and School Directors of the Seventh and
Ninth Wards. The voting was all done
by ballot and the freest expression OF
opinion was allowed.
The names of Steinman, Lawton and
Wilson were discussed, but none of them
were placed In nomination. When the
other places on the ticket had been dis
posed OF C.. II. Hubbard was placed in
nomination i'll an eulogistic speech, and
was warmly seconded. George B. Katz-
enstein was also placed in nomination, as
was &. l.. Adams. Adams made Il brief
speech, testIfying to his appreciation of
the honor conferred on him, but declin-
ing in favor of Hubbard. Many took occa-
sion to second the nomination of the lat
ter, speaking OF his record as soldier a
successful and careful business man and
good citizen, and when the vote was
finally taken it was almost unanimous in
his favor.
There were some who strongly favored
passing the nomination for Mayor until
the other conventions had been held and
nominations made, which the convention
might possibly find it wise to indorse,
but 1t was felt that delay might be danger
GUS and that the coming conventions
could have no objections to MIR. Hubbard
and might readily indorse him, in which
case he would surely win.
After the convention adjourned the
members spoke enthusiastically of the
ticket and pronounced it sure winner.
Following is the ticket selected:
For Mayor, G. II. Hubbard; City At
torney. j. Frank Brown (Republican
nominee); Auditor, j. d. Young (Repub-
lican nominee); Collector, f. II. Nick ee;
