First Fruits of the California State

j. A. Filcher. manager of the State
Board OF Trade, states that the California
exhibit at Atlanta has begun to bear fruit.
The exhibit was sent to the Atlanta Expo
sitlon for the purpose OF attracting the at
tention of Eastern and Southern people to
the advantages and products of this State.
While the exposition was open thou
sands of people from all parts of the
United States and the world visited the
California department, and all were
amazed at the variety and quality OF the
productions of the Golden State. There
was great demand for information relat-
ing to California, and where land could be
obtained at reasonable rates. All inquir-
ers were answered at the California eX-
hibit department, and hundreds of people
stated that they would sooner or later set
tie in this State.
Yesterday Mr.. Fllcher received letter
OF inquiry from Pendergrass, Jackson
! County, Ga. The writer stated that the
heads of several families of that town had
seen the California exhibit at the Atlanta
fair and have since made all arrangements
to move to this State and buy farms.

WILL APPEAR IN OPERA,
S. Homer Henley Has Signed a
Contract With the Tav.
ary Company.
Manager Pratt Prophesies a Great
Future for the California
Singer.

S. Homer Henley, a well-known local
singer, is to join the ranks OF the Tavary
Grand Opera Company. The engagement
begins next Saturday, and the debutant
is to receive the initial salary of $3.50 a
week.
1t was only last Sunday that Mr.. Henley
went to Charles S. Pratt, the manager of
the Tavary Company, to have his voice
tried. He sang a bass ara, and though
the manager was delighted with his voice
he intimated that he did not believe the
singer to be really basso. At Mr.. Pratt
request the singer ascended into the barry
tone regions, rendering, among other
arias, the well-known ''Toreador" song
from Carmen
Then Pratt became fairly enthusiastic
and expressed an ardent desire TO secure
the California singer for his company next
season, the conditions being that Mr.. Hen
ley was to consider himself a barytone and
was to perfect himself in leading barytone
solos in the various operas of the Tavary
Company reperfory. The manager also
suggested that Mr.. Henley should make
debut immediately with the company in
one of the interior towns, to give himself
trial on the lyric stage.
According to later developments, how
ever, Manager Pratt has decided not to
run the risk OF letting the California
singer slip through his fingers and has
therefore closed the engagement at once.
Members of the company who have heard
ar. Henley. say that there are. magniti-
cent possibilities for his voice developing
into dramatic barytone of the highest
order. He already sings with excellent
school.
Homer Henley will be rendered as hav-
ing successfully sung the role of Elijah in
the second performance OF the elijah" at
Metropolitan Temple, under the baton of
James Hamilton Howe. Mr.. Henley was
then singing bass solo, and it is as a
barytone that. he is expected to make a
great future. His low notes on that occa-
sion proved little light for the role, but
otherwise he gave proof of possessing
brilliant voice.
1t is not yet decided in which opera
Henley will make his debut, but he Will
probably sing with the Tavany Company
first in one CT the interior towns.

SURE THEY ARE GENUINE,
DR.. Dalls Statement Concerning
the Jeanette Relics Crit.
iciZed.
Professor Davidson Writes to Secre
tary Lund of the Geographical
Society.

DR.. William S. Dali has stirred up the
feelings of the members of the Geograph-
ical Society of the Pacific to considerable
degree by his statement concerning the
Jeannette's relics which was telegraphed
to THE CALL few days ago. DR.. Dali says
he believes the discovery of the alleged
relics was the result OF a foolish prank on
the part of some one connected with the
naval vessel that visited Greenland that
year.
Members OF the Geographical Society of
the Pacific do not so believe and never
have believed it. Professor George David
son, therefore, upon seeing the published
statement OF Professor Dali, at once wrote
to Secretary Lund OF the society concern
ing if. Following is the note:
Henry Lund Esq. 2A California street, Secretary
Society of the Pdctfc-MY DEAR BRO. LUND: I
beg to call your attention to a telegraphic
Dali of the United States Geograp phical Survey,
in which he declares that the alleged discovery
of the Jeannette relies in Julianahaab, the
southwest point of Greenland. was due TO a
foolish prank, etc., as per inclosure from The
CALL. Such statement involves the integrity
of the Government officers Mt Juliananaab
and the Royal Geographical Society at Copen-
hagen AS you are personally familiar with
all the reported details of the discovery of the
relics, which have been specifically described,
l beg that you will draw up concise state
ment to the Geographical Society of the Pacific
recalling all that is known of this matter in
order that we may officially transmit the same
to the Geographical Society of Copenhagen
and thereby obtain from them q statement
that shall put this matter to rest.
The geographical societies of this country
and of Europe cannot permit Mr.. Dall's state.
ment to go forth unchallenged without show
ing the reported trickery. Yours very truly,
GEORGE DAVIDSON,
President Geographical Society OF the Pacific.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Lund said !:
''THE CALL has already printed excerpts
from lecture delivered by Carl Laytzen,
director of the settlement of Julianahaab,
Greenland, concerning these relics. He
believes them to be genuine. 1t is not at
al! likely that the eminent and learned
men of the Copenhagen Society could be
fooled in this matter. There is no doubt
in my mind that they were genuine. How
they were lost has already been told"
Some action will probably be taken by
the society.
