Observation-Disclosures

Did you ever note how the children of
the poor Of the City enjoy themselves?
Possibly You have seen them in crowds
on the narrow streets of the Southside,
using the thoroughfares for want of a
better playground, but have you ever seen
them enjoy themselves in the Home of
the Good Samaritan, on Second street near
Folsom?
This is a sort of a clubhouse for the
youngsters of the district, for those whose
environments do not give them the oppor-
tunity to go to more stylish places to while
away part of the afternoon or evening
True, the place is not to be compared with
the Union-Pacific, the Bohemian or the
Concordia, nor even with the Press Club
apartments in point of elegance OF sur
roundings, but in the main the principle
under which it is operated is the same. 1t
is place for recreation and for instruc-
ton that comes from reading books and
periodicals that are not to be found in the
classrooms OF the schools. The young
visitors are furnished with interesting

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY,
The State Organization Dis
CuSSed Some Practical
Points.
Colonel Jersey on Commission
HouSes-A. w. Porter on "Out-
look for Dried Fruit"

"There is no reason why fruit might not
have been found in good condition at the
exhumation OF the ruins of Pompeii if the
fruit had been properly cured before the
destruction of that city,"
Colonel Philo Hersey of San Jose made
this statement in the course of an address
on ''The Proper Grading and Packing of
Fruit for Market delivered before the
monthly meeting of the State HorticuI-
tural Society, held in the horticultural
Commission rooms Friday afternoon. The
colonel gave emphatic expression to his
opinion that the liability of retention and
rejection of goods would be set aside if
fruit were honestly graded and buyers
knew what to expect of ''faney," "choice"
or standard" fruit. Referring to the com
mission-houses he said that if proper grad
ing be established those houses must see
that the cost of selling is reduced or the
producers would be compelled to dispense
with their services.
+. NJ. Brighter of Campbell gave some
suggestions on Handling Dried Fruit
Products" and thought there should be q
better understanding between buyer ard
seller. 1.-THE grader" said he, ''is no re-
specter of persons. 1t is said to be con
scienceless, but it does conscientious work,
and its service should be enlisted He
thought there need be no expense to East
ern buyers of sending an inspector of fruit
West to examine the goods if grading were
understood and adhered to in all cases. An
accurate description should suffice for the
sale of fruit as it does for sugar.
A paper on the Outlook for Dried Fruit
in 1885," prepared by A. W. Porter, was
read by Professor E. ]. Wickson. In Mr..
Potter's view the interests of the State re-
quire that fair prices rule from year to
year rather than that figures be named at
the beginning of the season that will pre-
vent the consumption of the goods. Not
withstanding Fourth of July talk about
patriotism he has found that the consumer
viii buy French prunes if cheaper than the
California product.
1.-The lesson was learned last year" he
said, "that the time to market fruit is
when trade wants to buy, not when it has
been supplied elsewhere. There will be
no competition with the East on the peach
crop, though the yield is large In that
section, for the fruit is consumed when
fresh or canned. With due diligence, and
union of producer and seller, recognizing
that their interests are identical, the grower
should receive fair remuneration for his
labor this year."
The society will meet with the Sonoma
County Horticultural Society at Santa
Rosa, on the last Friday of July, when the

Chow did you get that?" asked the
superintendent. examining a slight scalp
wound on the side of the boys head, from
which blood was trickling and discoloring
the blonde hair that would have been
pretty and glossy if it had been combed.
''Dat's for my dads boy to know, and
for you to find out. " was the impertinent
reply.
One of the boys volunteered the state
ment that he must have got the wound
when Bill showed him against the corner
of table,
The injured head was dressed, order was
restored and the two delinquents were

charge OF big boy to prevent them from

WHILE" said the superintendent, "but
not often. AS rule the threat to deprive
them of the privilege of the gymnasium is
enough to bring them to their senses, but
these two youngsters are Just trifie

In the gymnasium, in the basement, in
which are Indian clubs, dumbbells, q

of boys were amusing themselves.

the bag on the bottom with SO much force

He turned again, no doubt expecting
praise for his achievement but he looked
a little disappointed when the superinten-
dent said, ''That is pretty good, but you
must not hit the bag on the bottom, you
must hit on the side and center and hit it
again when it comes back to YOU"
The little one looked at the floor, then
at the swinging bag, then turning to the
superintendent he said: II will, Mr.. Stall,

intendent, land they seem to enjoy it very
much. They also take great interest in the
books and papers, and get great deal OF
amusement out of the games that are pro-
vided for them. In the evening not only
boys here, but a number of men come to
read, and in the afternoon many of the
girls in the district visit the home and
listen to instructions in cooking, house
keeping and sewing. On the days when
services are held in the chapel it is always

JOSEPH LEONE DEAD.
The EIutist of the Leone Brothers'
Quartet Who Played on the
Piedmont.

The passengers on the Piedmont, run
ming between Oakland and San Francisco,
have been entertained by the music of the
Leone Brothers quartet for nearly six
years. 1t was noticed few months ago
that the quartet had become trio. The
futist had disappeared, and the passen-
gers concluded that the family was divided
against itself, and the fute-player had
taken the wrong side. The truth was that
the poor fellow was dying. He had played
the last air and made the last collection.
Joseph Leone died yesterday morning
after six months illness resulting from a
tumor of the neck. He was 81 years old,
and left a widow ana two children. The
funeral will take place from his home, 518
Green street, at P. NJ. Tuesday under the
auspices of the union of the Ancient Order
of Druids, of which he was a mem Der.

EXTENDING THE Y. M. I.
A Supreme National Council of the In
stitute to Be Organized.

a Supreme National Council of the In
stitute to Be Organized.
The grand secretary of the Young Mems
Institute has just announced that the
Grand Council of the order will meet in
Vallejo on September 8. when delegates
will be present from eighty-nine subordi-
nate councils in the Pacific jurisdiction.
The leading questions which the Council
will determine will be the organization of
a Suprsme National Council having juris-
diction above all State councils. The in
stitute has recently made great progress in
the East, especially in Pennsylvania and
New York-and the formation of a Ma
tional council is considered imperatively
necessary.
In this connection it is interesting to
state that the order, which has now spread
into nearly every State in the Union, was
originally organized in this City about
dozen years ago.

pute.
Lord Salisbury refuses to submit the
entire question to arbitration
He is willing that the territory in dis
nutc west of the so-called Schomburgh
lire may be referred, under certain condl-
t,ons 70 the decision of arbitrator; but
rho t-rritory east of that line, and which
is claimed by Great Britain as part of
British Guiana, cannot. his lordship says,
be recognized by her majesty government
as a fis subject of arbitration.
Lord Salisbury answer will be in the
nature of complete surprise
To Democratic senator who called up
on him. today, Mr. Cleveland said in sub
stance that Secretary One. dispatch and
Lord Salisburys reply will be sent to
Congress as soon as possible after the lat
ter has been carefully considered by the

week.
This senator asked Mr.. Cleveland If in
the event OF Great Britain agreeing to

whether that would be regarded as a viola
ton Of the Monroe doctrine
The President ; reply to that question
wa that it would depend upon what
Venezuela said whether Great Britain
was merely in possession of her own terri
tory. or whether through one pretence or
another she had extended her possessions,
in which case the Monroe doctrine would
have been violated
And assuming that she has, what

With great earnestncss the President
said that it would then remain for Con
gross to say what should be done The

He went on to say that of course he
trusted that there would be 10 clash be
tween the two great English speaking
peoples, but if it was necessary to uphold
the dignity and assert the rights of this
country, it would be- done at any hazard.
