densed but exhaustive review OF the experience
Of the New England Colonies and states In
bank-note currency. from the earliest times
until the establish ment Of the National Bank
system.
This summary is not merely valuable from
the great variety ana wide range Of expert
snce covered; but specially so for its full ac-
count OF the natural development under bust
ness sxigeneies OF the volunteer system OF
bank note redemption. which not merely
made New England pre-eminsnt, but gave
her bankers an advantage over those Of the
rest Of the states.
Not merely is the Suffolk Bank system
fully treated. but there are also noted the cir
cumstances which led to its adoption, and the
rival plan. copying its methods. which was
put into operation just before the war.
In sense the pamphlet may be said TO be
history Of bank note development. After all
allowance is made. the showing is a most
creditable one for the New England States,
and especially for the banks Of Boston, tc
whose enterprise and tact the suffolk Bank
system owed its origin.

TO ANNUL A DIVORCE
An Effort to Set Aside a De-
cree Secured Eighteen
Years Ago.
HAD BEEN MARRIED AGAIN.
Disastrous Consequences That
Would Attend the Success OF
the Action.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 8.-John Ma
laney, an old and respected citizen of Ocean
Park, Tillamook county, is the defendant
in curious divorce suit. E. Ann Malaney
is the plaintiff. Eighteen years ago the
two were living together as man and wife,
which they were at that time, on piece
of Government land then supposed to be
worthless, but now known as Ocean Park.
They had trouble on various occasions,
and in 1877 Mrs. Malaney took most of the
children and, so Malaney says, all of his
money and part of his household goods
and skipped.
Four years later Malaney applied for
divorce and the usual advertisement was
put in the nearest paper at the time, and
old Judge R. p. Boise granted decree of
divorce. All this time Malaney had not
heard from his former spouse. A few
years ago he married again. and now has
a child by the last marriage. Now he is sur
prised to find wife No. l filing a suit
against him to have the diverse set aside,
after eighteen years of separation, and de-
manding share of his property and $500
year to support her during her life. If
the divorce is set aside it will also have
the effect of annuiling the last marriage of
Malany, and will brand his last child as

Every county in Ireland was represented
at the Knights of the Red Branch Rifles

everyone had a jolly good time. There
was dancing in the big pavilion and
dancing in the round pavilion on the
mound of shells, while the boards of the
little platform among the trees were kept
hot with Irish iigs, reels and breakdowns.
There were games, races and feats of
strength and agility, performed with that
hearty vigor that those of the Green Isle
put into sports Then there was drill
and inspection of the rifles, the new
military company of the order that has
taken the oath and entered the ranks of
the State militia.
Captain Sheehey was very proud of the
appearance of his company OF sixty men,
all of whom were attired in new uniforms
and equipped with muskets. So were the
1000 picnickers who left the dancing to
witness the inspection and drill. After the
inspection of the new soldiers the sport

DR. H|RST- SAYS FAREWELL.
The Completion of His Four
Years Term at the Simp-
son Memorial Church.
His Last Sermon Astounding In Brill
liant Rhetoric, Wise Counsel
and Words of Regret.

Rev. DIR. A. G. Hirst, who for the past
four years has been the well-beloved pastor
of Simpson Memorial Church, preached
yesterday his two farewell sermons. Both
discourses, Astounding in rhetorical bril-
lance, wise words of counsel and ex-
pressions of sincere regret because of the
approaching separation from his flock.
His sermon of the morning dwelt at
length on the distinction between things
as men conceive them and as Christ
taught them and the necessity of taking
with unquestioning faith whatever the
Lord has decreed.
In the evening he showed that without
the light of Christ in the heart, nothing
great could be accomplished; that Paul,
because of his implicit faith, was triumph
ant over all his sufferings and trials.
"Have in you" said the speaker, 'the
love of Christ; it is the creator of beauti-
full things. Art itself is but the breaking
down of the prison walls of a soul by the
fundamentally of Christly love. Christi
anity-and the syllable Christ should be
emphasized - has reshaped and given
impetus to the worlds progress. 1t per-
meated all things. 1t has lifted woman
higher than any previous religion or civili-
zation Christ was the first leader of men,
into his school and to allow her to become
his disciple. With the love of Christ with
in him, mans hopes are limited, his will is
indomitable and ever-conquering, his work
is ever-good."
At the close of the sermon the doctor
said:
II would be glad to say everything to-
night my heart would like to say. / am
convinced that my coming to this pulpit
was in the providence of God. 1 do not
believe it is often given to pastor to serve
people more loyal and patient than has
been given to me.
II think you will bear testimony with
me that questions touching the civic life of
this City have been touched on in this
pulpit only in the divine light of the cross.
/ thank God we have placed our minds
and hearts together. l have coveted
neither your gold nor silver in my work
with you, but have coveted your conf
dence, esteem and love.
81 shall loose many sacred friendships
many dear scenes, but it is right. Do not
think l 60 away as one who is relieved of a
burden. You know | do not. Finally,
brethren, farewell. Be of one mind, of
good comfort, and full of the love of our
Savior"
The doctor leaves the middle part of this
month for Chicago to assume the duties of
his new pastorate.

BIG BLAZE At SAN JOSE.
The Santa Clara Valley Lum-
Der Company'S Mill
Destroyed.
Now a Smoldering Heap
of Ruins.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. AT 1890
o'clock this morning fire broke out in the
large planning mill of the Santa Clara Mill
and Lumber Company. A general alarm
was turned in, but the flames gained such
rapid Roadway that it was impossible to
check their progress, and in an hour the
structure and its valuable machinery were
a heap of smoking ruins. The loss on the
mill and lumber will be S150,000; insur-
ance about $4,000.
The Rheinhard flats, adjoining the mill,
caught fire and were partially destroyed.
The fire started in barn in the rear of
the fats and spread along roof Of sheds
to the mill. The cause of the fire is un-
known, no one having been known to have
been in it since the night before.
Three of the Reinhardt flats were de-
stroyed on which the loss is $2250, fully
insured in the Palatine Company. A
small dwelling belonging to Mrs. Lizzie
Slavin was burned. Loss $1,000; no insur-
ance. A small cottage belonging to F.
Brown was destroyed with its contents.
Loss $500; no insurance.

added to the scores made by the COM
panles in similar competitions held last
June, and upon the merit of the combined
totals the award of prizes will depend. IN
cases where guardsmen have not won de-
corations before, the State will award a
circular bronze badge on which is bears
head in high relief, and from which IS
suspended bronze bar with the wearer's
rank among rifemen indicated by the
words ''sharpshooter," 'rifieman" or
'marksman" upon its face. The marks
mans bar is OF bronze, and is given to
men who score more than thirty and less
than forty points in each competition.
Inc rlf1eman receives silver bar and
entrance into that class is secured by
score OF over forty and less than forty-hye.
Guardsmen who register over forty-hve In
each competition are honored with bar
OF gold, and are classified as sharpshooters.
The sharpshooters are not very numer-
Gus, but their number is increasing. a
few years ago only two men IN California
captured gold bars, but now these decora-
tons are annually won by about dozen
citizen soldiers.
An order which has just been issued
from Second Brigade headquarters upon
the subject recites that the parades for
rifle practice shall be by regiments, except
ing Battery B, Second Artillery; Company
A, First Infantry; the Signal Corps and
Troop A. These organizations are direct
ed to parade at the command OF their
respective commanders. The scores will

from San Francisco and he and Doolittle
went over the latter's accounts together.
The shortage of $3.50 was found, and Doc
little then frankly admitted that he had
the money. He said that times had been
so hard that he had to use the money.
Doolittle promised to make a settlement,
however, by the latter part of this month.
Dubois and Doolittle had arranged to
meet to-day in regard to the matter, Du-
bois was inclined to be lenient with the
local agent and not prosecute him II he
would settle the deficit.
Dubois this forenoon received note
from Doolittle through the mail stating
that he had gone to San Francisco and
would be back in a few days. Dubois
suspicious were aroused and he proceeded
to investigate. 1t was learned that Doc
little had been inquiring at the depot. for
passenger rates to the East, but had alter
wards bought ticket for San Francisco.
Dubois became satisfied that Doolittle
had decamped and went before Justice st:
John and swore out the warrant. Sheriff
Scott has been sending kilograms this
evening throughout the northern portion
of the State to intercept Doolittle.

People From the East Desir-
Gus of Settling in the
Valley.
DEMAND FOR LAND INCREASING
San Franciscan and Outside Capital
Interested A New Water
Syndicate.

SAN JOSE; CAL, Sept 8.-The Mercury,
in an article on real estate transfers, will
say tomorrow:
The number of inquiries being made by
residents of other portions of the Pacific Coast,
as well as the Eastern States, justify the real
estate dealers in believing that marked i'm
provement in the condition OF the real estate
market may be expected very soon. Even
during the past two months the tone has been
much better than for at least two years past.
Those residing upon the Pacific Coast who have
become familiar with the fame Of this valley
are offering all kinds of inducements to trade
their real estate holdings for Santa Clara lands
and in other ways are showing their anxiety to
. become residents of this section. The Eastern
people are sending large number of letters to
agents and friends asking for descriptive
matter and information in regard to the
number of acres of orchard necessary to secure
fair living.
While the condition of the financial market
has been such as to prohibit any great amount
of immigration, there seems to be every indica-
ton that the people want to come and settle in
this Wiley and will do so as soon as their busl-
ness affairs can be closed up in the East.
During the past few months many transfers
have been made in real estate, and many fam
lilies have located in this county. All the real
estate dealers report many inquiries from
Eastern parties for orchard homes and great
many sales are reported. San Franciscan and
outside capital is seeking investment, and the
subdividing of the large ranches has done
much to increase the valuation of Santa Clara
County property.
The forming of syndicate to take the water
from the Coyote Creek in the vicinity OF
Morgan Hill for irrigating purposes has done
much to create a demand for property in that
section of the county. The Holland colony,
which settled in San Joaquin County several
years ago, and which is composed of highly
educated and refined people, is rapidly locat-
ing here. It is composed of people of means
and they are purchasing fine properties here.
Agents in Holland are recommending this
county to prospective immigrants, and they
are steadily coming here with the means to
purchase desirable homes.

CONTESTS AT soHUETzEN PARK.
Some Excellent Scores Were Made, but the
Average Was LOW,

Some Excellent Scores Were Made, but the
Average Was Low.
The marksmen did not turn out in great
numbers at Schuetzen Park yesterday.
The monthly medal shoot had been post
poned from the LIST inst. because of the
San Francisco Schuetzen Verein festival at
Shell Mound Park, and in consequence
many of the members had other engage
ments which they would not break. A
number of the crack shots went with the
Native Sons to Sacramento, while others
took day off and read the account of the
race between the Defender and the VAL
kyrie.
The Holy Cross Cadets, 500 strong, will
take possession of Schuetzen Park to-mor-
row, and the Naval Battalion will hold
down the various ranges. 1t will be the
annual target practice, in which all the
members must participate. Unfortunately
the date fixed falls on Admission day, and
the men are grum bling. They say the
Governor will not allow them to shoot on
a Sunday, but he will fix the date for hol-
iday just when they are expecting to have
little fun. The majority of the battalion
were in San Rafael yesterday as the guests
of the National Guard boys.
Among some OF the good scores made
yesterday was that of Captain f. Ottinger.
His three trial shots were 25, %, 25-73.
John Utschig shot a match for dinner
against his brother Adolph and Robert
LANCER. John Utschig made the splendid
score of 437 out of a possible 500 and won
the match.
#. Schuester's gun was disabled on his
second shot, and he had to borrow another
and use new cartridges in order to finish
his score. His average was in consequence
very low, and he gave up in disgust and
adjourned to the bowling ALLEY.
The championship in the second class
was finally won by A. Mocker. He has
been holding his own against all corners
for the last two years, and now he will have
to compete in the first class with such men
as f. P. Schuester, Albert Ehrenpfort and
d. B. Faktor. The contests for the cham
pionship in this class are sure to produce
some remarkable shooting during the COM
ing year.
The results of the California Schuetzen
Club contests yesterday were as follows:
Champion class-D. W. Mclaughlin 426.
The medal in the first class was not won.
D. B. Faktor shot with very poor luck and
several times he lost number of points
by people laughing and joking behind him
just as he was about to fire. He came
within one point of winning the medal
The second class medal was won by A.
Mocker, with score of 416, and the third
class was not won as the top score was only
355, made by Charles Sagehorn, whereas il
