MORE TOBACCO RAISED.

Several Fine Experiments Have Been
Concluded at San Lorenzo Ranch.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec 23.-For several
months extensive experiments in the
raising of tobacco lave been made in this
county. A few weeks ago report was
printed of the DEVELOPMENTS at San Le-
andre. Now San Lorenzo has made re-
port which is of great interest in view OF
the fact that the extensive cultivation OF
tobacco in this county will probably be at
once undertaken.
Experiments were made at the farm of
E. 0. Webb to determine the varieties
which grow best in this locality, it having
been already proved that the soil would
grow almost any kind. Reina de Suma-
ira, Brazilian Vuelta de Abaio, Partidas, a
Turkish brand and Zimmer's Spanish were
planted quite late in the season. The Gu
ban variety and the Persian cigar weed
made very poor showing. All the others
made very good growth and had they had
the advantage of the early rains would have
yielded a heavy crop.
The Spanish brand made a most ex-
traordinary growth. considering the un-
favorable conditions it had to contend
with, not having been planted until the
middle of June. 1t nevertheless produced
leaves two feet long end ten inches broad
at the widest part. This latter variety is
favorite one for cigars and enters largely
into the composition of many so-called
pure Havanas.
The growing of the tobacco is only a be-
ginning and a small feature in its prepara-
tion for the market. On adobe soil the
brands grown are too rich in nicotine, but
this can be removed by observing certain
MISUNDERSTOOD rules. After drying the
leaves they are packed away in tubs and
boxes and subjected for year to what is
called "sweat." The crop from Mr..
Webb's place, after having been carefully
inspected and found to be of good quail
ity, has been packed away, and next fall
it will doubtless be discovered that the
leaf and the manner of curing, as we'll as
the air of this locality, are all favorable.

Oaklanders may soon learn the legal
definition of ''the push" in politics. At
torney A bbott, of counsel for the old Demo
cratic County Committee, has M ade an aw-
full threat. He has declared in document
placed on file in the Superior Court that
if his clients are pushed to the wall and
made to disgorge 81 apiece and costs to
pay for the music that charmed Oakland
when James II. Budd visited it prior to
his election that he will 'resist the pay
ment of an attempted cinch organ by the
push, sometimes known as the gang,
com posed of political roustabouts who are
usually connected with newspapers. for all
there is in it, and in this behalf should
plaintiff fail to identify the push the
names will be given"
This is very terrible. The old Demo
the thought that they should attempt to
shift the responsibilities onto the push"
is very unchlvalrous.
Who is 1.-The push?" Democratic poll
ticians have long had ideas of their own
in this regard, but now that Mr.. Abbott
declares that "the push" are political
rousta bouts" who attempt clnches" and
who are in politics 'for all there is in it, -
it would be very serious matter to go
beyond the record and give identity to
that which Mr.. Abbott has clothed with
faint shadows.
One of the largest creditors of the old
Democratic Committee was the Oakland
Times, Tor advertising Democratic meet
ings. In previous years the Times had
not forced payment Cor various reasons,
and in the Budd campaign evidently the
Democratic Committee thought that pa
per should be magnanimous. But printers
and reporters also went into court one
day, tied up the historic Times, and
proved that magnan unity, even when
shown toward a Budd committee, cannot
run newspapers. This is how it happened
that the Times is one of the largest credi-
tors and that its present owners want
| their money.

CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
New Method of Treating That Painful
Disease.

Disease.
An exhibition was made last evening
before the County Medical Society at it's
scientific meeting OF new method OF
treating rheumatic affections which have
heretofore been considered incurable.
The method consists in the local appli-
cation of hot air to the parts affected. The
apparatus by which this is accomplished
consists of copper cylinder, under which
several gas jets are kept burning. Into
this cylinder the limb is inserted and the
ends are closed. Stop-cocks are arranged
to let out moisture exuding from the skin,
and the tenn perature is raised 25O to 26O
degrees. Precautions are taken to prevent
the limb from coming in contact with the
hot metal, and the application is con-
tinued for fully forty minutes.
Two patients were brought in for the ex-
pertinent. One was man who had been
under the care of physician, who was
present, for several months, and had been
gradually growing worse. He was unable
10 move his toes or his ankle, and any
motion of the limb caused excruciating
pain. At the end of forty minutes, durins :
which time his temperature was raised
nearly 2 degrees, as shown by the mouth
thermometer, and his pulse increased
about fifteen beats per minute, the linn
was taken out of the cylinder; the patient
moved his toes as freely as does child,
bent his ankle without difficulty and
walked with ease, feeling no pain. Other
rheumatic pains in other portions of the
boiy had also disappeared.
The second patient was negro who
was suffering from loEg-continued lum-
bago, and who uttered many groans as he
was being placed on an apparatus which
inciosed his back. He also was subjected
to the heat for forty minutes, and when
told to rise he sat up as readily as when in
perfect health. The temperature in the
first case was from 248 to 260 degrees Fab
renhelt.
In the discussion which followed it was
stated by the exhibitor that these men
would probably be better this morning
than they appeared to be when the ex-
pertinent closed and that in most cases
one application is sufficient. Where ex-
tensive deposits had been made several
applications were necessary to remove
them.
The system has been in use in the prin-
cipal hospitals OF London, and accounts
of wonderful cures made in those hospitals
included cases of chronic rhematoid ar
Thrills, old tuberculous knee-ioint, chronic
ulcer of leg. acute attack of gout following
sprain, sprains, chronic rheumatism,
arthritis deformans, duration thirty
years; sub-acute artlCular rheumatism
ana many other cases of similar charac-
ter The results shown in the two cases
last evening before the society were re-
garded as very convincing as to the bene-
fit of heat so applied.
The explanation given was that the in
creased temperature and more rapid circu-
latlon dissolved and carried off the depos-
its upon bones and in the muscles, and
that this effect extended in greater or
legs degree TO the whole body. The ap-
paratus used is now for the first time
brought to the notice OF the medical fra
terniIy of this country. = Philadelphia

due consideration a tunnel was deemed
best that course world be followed. He
believes, however, that the cost OF a
tunnel including the right of wav APP

practically impossible at this time. A
tunnel would probably cost $500, Goo

sos Broadway, Dec. %.
A few families who are fortunate enough
to be in the local blue book will have an
'old-time English Christmas treat early on
Friday morning. Before the sun rises
band OF little carolers will sing under the
windows of some of the large houses at
Fruitvale and on Jackson street, after
which they will return to the beautiful
Hush residence at Etnamere, Fruityale,
where they Will be rewarded for their ef-
forts with handsome Christmas tree and
other entertainment.
The introduction of Christmas caroling
into Oakland is the idea OF Miss Jean
Hush. Several months ago decided to
organize little band of carolers, and her
desire was put into practice about six
weeks ago. She got together tnirty-fve
little boys and girls and commenced teach
ing them suitable carols. They have prac-
ticed regularly until now they are pro-
nounced perfect.
At 2 O. clock Christmas morning the lit
tie band will meet at the Hush home, and
after partaking of some refreshments they
will start out on their singing tour. Some
OF the carols are accompanied with sleigh
bell and others with violin, and the eff CT
is very novel. When the residents in
Fruitvale are awakened from their first
sleep by the jingIing OF bells and the sweet
tones OF three dozen merry childish voices
they will know that Christmas is at hand
and that the little band has come TO sing
their first welcome TO the glad day.
A special car has been provided by the
Haywards electric road, and after the lit
tie singers have carried out their Fruit
vale programme they Will take their
seghbelis and their violins and their
voices 10 some of the aristocratic resi-
dences in the Lakeside district and before
the regular car service tor the day begins
they Will be repeating their Christmas
songs beneath other windows.
Miss Hush will lead the little band and
when daylight appears they Will return to
and live Santa Claus will reward them
their WORK enthusiastically and consider
the event as one which they are all proud
to take part in.
One OF the prettiest carols, especially
written for the occasion, Is as follows:
