An Estimate of the Times

A well-known lady resident of Los Ange-
les, who has been visiting in Riverside for
a few days, said to a Press representative
yesterday that she had heard more talk on
the question of frosted oranges since she
had been in Riverside than she had ever
heard in Los Angeles. She said her hus-
band was a Republican but they did not
take the Times, and that few people in
Los Angeles gave any credit to what ap-
peared in that paper. Everybody knew it

Dainty Skirts, but Oh! How Costly

Some find it hard to choose between the
null or cambria petticoats and those made
entirely of silk. A compromise which was
pretty enough for ball gown was pink
silk with yelling of tucked white null and
lace. Both the silk and the null skirts
run ,lp to fabulous prices. and the cheapest
are hardly to be had al less than 81. The
plain silk skirts have flounce with several
rows of wire cording TO stiffen them, and
these are really more useful than those
made of null, which are so fine and soft
thet nobody would think of starchng them
enough to fill out the present dress skirt.

Frozen Orange Industry

The newspapers of California have been
engaged in an animated discussion lately
about shipping frozen oranges to the east
ern markets. Less talk on paper and
more active. quiet work along this line
might have wholesome effect. 1t is dis
tressingly apparent to The casual observer
that the southern California orange indus
try has already been greatly injured by the
shipping of unripe and frozen fruit east,
Let the oranges thoroughly mature before
shipping them, is the only safe plan to
build up and protect reputation abroad
for our oranges.-Santa Ana Standard.

Birds in Sacred History

The Greek church people of Russia re-
gard swallows as being sacred birds, but
kill sparrows whenever the opportunity
affords. They declare that the swallows
minstered to Jesus when he was hanging
on the cross, but that the sparrows tore his
flesh and did their best to pick out his
eyes. On this account, they say that the
sparrows' legs are invisibly bound, which
causes their gait to be succession of pain
full hops. In this way is the sparrow
doomed to move about until the day of

OPPOSED TO INSTRUCTIONS
Candidates for observation-disclosures
Chairman GOWdy's Activity

There was some discussion among the poll
ticians in the hotel lobby yesterday on the
question OF instructing the delegates at large
for Mckinley. Nearly all the men who are
candidates for Office are very cautious about
expressing any views on the subject, but
among those who did talk it seemed TO be the
general opinion that IL would be neither nee
essary nor wise to instruct. Almost all the
candidates for delegate at large are avowed
Mckinley men and IL Is generally conceded
that the Mckinley sentiment in the State
is so strong that the convention will not
be likely TO send anybody who is avowedly
opposed TO him. The candidates for dele
