AN idea of the immensely of the
fruit business of California may he
gained from the fact, as recently re-
ported to the state board Of trade, that
the shipments of fruits and fruit pro-
duets, by rail and sea, during 1895
amounted to 81, 100 carloads, or an av-
erage of over ten carloads a day for
every day in the year. This is an in
crease of nearly six thousand carloads
over the shipments of 1894 and nearly
double the shipments of 1891. A steady
increase in the shipments of dried
fruits is also reported, but heavy de-
cline is noted in the canned goods
trade, which is ascribed to the "hard
times in the East that have cut off
every article that could be spared from
the table of people who have here
tofore lived we'll" Commenting on
this feature of the situation the Exami-
ner makes a suggestion which might
be followed with profit by the fruit
growers of this state as we'll as of Cali
fornia. 1t says: at would be well
for our producers to attempt to cap
ture the fine preserved fruit trade
that is how so largely in the hands
of the French and English and
Scotch shippers. This trade comes
from people of means, and hard times
do not compel them to change their
table fare, however much it may cur
tail their other expenses" And the
same paper says, what the farmers of
this state will also do well to bear in
mind, that ain spite of panics and hard
times, California's products from vine
and tree are proving her surest source
of wealth, aud with the better times
that are now with us will bring more
gold than ever"

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S Partially
toward eX-cOnfederate officers has been
again shown by his appointment of ex-
Governor Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia,
to be consul-general at Havana, to sue
coed Ramon 0. Williams, Resigned
after twenty-five years service. The
appointment, however, is undoubtedly
a good one and THE ISLANDER has 40
disposition to indulge in partisan or
sectional criticism of the president for
having made it. The appolntee is Il
nephew of the great general Of the Con
federate amies, Robert E. Lee, and WAS
himself distinguished Major General
Of Confederate cavalry during the war.
He is worthy representative of one OF
the most noted families Oh the South,
and may safely be relied upon to pro
tect American interests us well as amy
man can do in these turbulent times
in the Spanish capital of Cuba.

ALL of the republics of South and
Central America seem to be enthusiasts
tic over the suggestion of the progressive
president of Mexico that they should
all unite in vigorous support of the po-
sition of the United States on the Mon
roe doctrine, as interpreted by Secre-
tary Olney and President Cleveland.
President Diaz seems to favor the Or
ganiZatiOn of Latin-American alliance
for mutual aid and protection in case
of any attempt by any European
power to subjucate, reduce the terri
tory or change the institutions of any
of the American republics, and it is
not imp obable that a conference of
representatives of all the countries in
terested in the formation of such an
alliance will be held in the neAr future,
with that end in view.

Music formed an. important part
of the services at Zion p. E. Church
on Good Friday night. The choir,
assisted by voices from other choirs
of the town, and by a number Of the
pupils of Stephenson Seminary, rem
dered, very creditabiy indeed, the
Oratorio of the Crucifion, by John
NJ. Stainer. A large congregation
was present, who seemed to appreci-
ate the beauty and impressiyeness of
the music, and to recognize the
solemnity of the occasion. The
hymns, which occur in the body of
the work, together with a synopsis of
the Oratorio, with Biblical refer
ences, were distributed throughout
the church for the use of the congre-
CATION, and this served to increase
interest. The superb chorus, Fling
Wide the Gates" which occurs early
in the work, is a masterpiece, and
was excellently sung by the chorus
of more than thirty voices. The So
loists were Rev. S. w. Cole, pastor of
the Baptist church; Profs. r. r..
Walsh and T. NJ. Baker, and Messrs.
A. D. Barr, John A. Blake, c. A.

Burplarious entrance into til

Burglarious entrance into the
dwelling of Mr.. Samuel boyd, near
town, was effected last Friday night
by prying out a couple of Stats in
one of the parlor blinds, and thus
reaching the fastening thereof. There
are evidences that the hallway was
reached from the parlor, but as no
further depreciation was committed
it is supposed that either the barking
of a little house dog about ten o'clock,
or the return of Mr.. VIM. Boyd an
hour later, frightened the party or
parties off and prevented the accom-
plishment of the purpose in view.
