PACHEGO GOES TO OHIO.
The Ex-Governor of California Wants
to Be Minister to Either Spain
or Mexico

Ex-Governor Romualdo Pacheco is q
candidate for the position of Minister to
either Spain or Mexico. He would as a
matter of course prefer to be given an OPP
portunity to shine in court circles OF
Madrid, but should another aspirant for
that Office have stronger influence on
President-elect Mckinley and 80 secure
the Spanish embassy, the Ex-Governor
would be satisfied with a sojourn of four
years in the beautiful City of Mexico.
Mr.. Pacheco has gone to Ohio with the
object of presenting his claims in person
before Mckinley at Canton. He is said to
: have taken with him strong recon menda-
tions from prominent citizens of Califor-
mia. Among his credentials are letters
from the Spanish-American Republican
Club of San Francisco and from people of
Spanish descent in the southern part of
the State.
In the last campaign Ex-Governor
Pacheco took quite an active part, more
particularly in Southern California. He
was a leading member of the Spanish
American Club and delivered able cam
paign speeches before the club as well as
before similar organize tons throughout
the State. His part in the fight was
chiefly confined TO stumping for Mckinley
and the Republican platform.
OF the ex-Governors of California now
living Mr.. Pacheeo enjoys The distinction
of being the first in point of succession on
date OF incumbency in Office. He was
Lieutenant-Governor under Newton Booth
apd became Governor upon Mr.. Booths
election as United States Senator. Since
then he has been United States Minist
TO Guatemala, in which position he serves
with distinction. He hopes that his record
will have considerable influence in hid
present mission

HAS COME TO SPEND
100000 FOR CARS
A. de Gina of MaZatlan to
Build an Electric
Railroad.
He Will Also Increase His
Telephone and Lighting
Systems.
A For mer Student of Santa Clara
Now United S ates Consul-Activ.
ity in Mexican Mines.


Arthur de Gina, United States Consul
for four years past at Mazatlan, arrived
here yesterday on the steamer San Jose,
accompanied by Mrs. de Gina, and is at
the Occidental.
Consul de Gina was born in San Fran
cisco and educated at Santa Clara College.
After his graduation he was IN Europe for
q time and then went to Mazatlan to look
after the large interests of his father. 1t
is thus that he has remained there ever
since.
He is the owner of the eIectric-lIght
plant and telephone system in Mazatan.
His electric plant has capacity of 1900
lights, but as many more are needed, and
he will make arrangements for extra
electric supplies while here. He will also
get extra supplies for his telephone sys-
tenn. There are 100 telephones in the sys-
tenn now, but more are required.
However, i'm portant as this may be, he
has far more important object in COM
ing. He has franchise for putting in an
electric streetcar system in Mazatlan and
has come here to get about $4,000 worth
of cars, rails and other apparatus.
II will need six passenger cars and
Twelve IIelRuL CARS sdlu WI. QS Oluds
"The idea is to transfer freight from the
wharf, and from one part of the city to the
other on these cars. The business men
have agreed to support the project. /
think will get subsidy from the Gov
eminent too for putting in the system.
The matter is under way now, but l could
not wait as in matters of this kind things
move a little slow.
Estimates had been received by me
from different firms in California on the
cars and electric supplies before l left
Mazatlan, aud | went over them all very
carefully. But there was a good many
things that need inquiring into in person.
before a contract of this kind is let, so
came up.
.,The whole of the $4,000 will be spent
here. That is the intention. n. s. Ameri-
can, my electrician. came up with me. He
is well known here and was at one time
electrician at the Baldwin Hotel Besides
these cars and the various apparatus /
will take back an engineer with me.
'tAt Mazatlan now things are little
quiet, but there is good deal of activity
in the gold mines of Rosario, fifty-nine
miles east of Mazatlan, which is reached
by Stage. That is whore nearly all the
Americans go who come to Mazatlan. The
San Jose de Gracia gold mine, north of
Mazatlan, is employing large forces of
men. 1t is a very big and rich mine.'
Consul de Gina will be in the City about
q month.

WHILE THEY LAST.
Those Who Act Promptly Can Still Sc
cure One of Those Special Ency-
clop8dic Dictionary Sets


The Pacific Coast Newspaper Syndicate.
which lately distributed among readers
many thousands of sets OF the above great
work at very low Introductory price. are
now closing out at merely nominal figure
a few of these sets which have become
slightly marred in the course of the distr..
button.
In packing, unpacking and handling, the
covers of some OF the volumes have been
rubbed little-so little, indeed, that few
purchasers, even at the regular price OF
$40 to $40, would be able to discover any
cause Tor complaint either regarding ap-
pearance or condition.
As matter OF fact these special sets are
just as good as new for all practical pur-
poses, and would com pare favorably with
any absolutely perfect $42 to $40 set that
bad seen few days usage at home,
library or office.
The price which the syndicate has ar
ranged for one of these special sets is
surely attractive to any one earnestly de-
string to own a strictly high-class refer
ence work at trifiing cost.
The four volumes are sent to any address
on payment of only 81. and if on examina-
ton they are not satisfactory they can be
returned within a week, which is allowed
for examination, and the money will be
refunded; or if the work is retained the
small balance is payable in easy monthly
amounts.
This is certainly rare opportunity for
any person 10 whom the former low intro
ductory price may have seemed too high.
But the number of these special sets is
naturally limitei, and application should
be made at once to syndicate headquarters,
IA Sansome street.
Any out-of- town reader can, of course.
apply by letter with the remittance of 81.
and one of the sets will be reserved

COIN BETTER Than STATUS
Gold Tempts Mrs. A. G. Phillips
to Waive Her Marital
Standing.
By Having Herself Declared a Mil.
lionaire's Wife the Woman
Invites Bigamy Charges.

Still further omplications have arisen
in the romantic suit of Mrs. A. G. Phil
lips for a divorce from her truant hus-
band. who deserted her and her children

millionaire.
AS stated in THE CALL yesterday Mrs.
Phillips cot divorce four years ago. but
her attorney failed to have the decree en-
tered and omitted to file the findings, so
that the divorce is in fact nudity, and
Judge Seawell has so declared in deciding
on a motion to vacate it.
The foregoing facts have been greatly
harassing the husband, who had hoped
the old judgment was all right, because, it
is rumored, he is very anxious to marry
again at his present home in Wisconsin.
New facts however. came to light yester-
day, and they put the wife in a worse
position than she appeared to be by the
story as told by her attorney. While
standing up for the validity of the mar
riage, or rather. while denying the bind
ing force of the Judgment for divorce, the
wife places herself in a bad position, be-
cause she originally recognized the bind
ing force OF the judgment, considered her.
self free and married again.
1t is understood that Attorney w. II. II.
Hart will contend that the divorce was in
every particular legal and that the decree
can be entered now under what lawyers
term rule of ''nunc pro tunc"-an order
made now for then.
The case promises to present many
novel features before the final hearing.
The divorced husbands millions have
proved Turing enough to the wife to in
duce her, though married again, to have
her prior divorce set aside. 1t is among
the possibilities that the woman may yet

Poultry Paid or the Mortgage

Mrs. e. b. IN Farm and Home
At first I was discouraged and did not see
how / could ever pay the mortgage and
feed and clothe my little family. At this
critical time my mother visited me and
brought present of a brown Leghorn hen
and rooster. They were placed in the emp
ty hennouSe and fed on table scraps and
kitchen bits. The hen laid through the
winter and amply repaid what she and her
mate ate. In April. becoming broody, I
set twelve Brahma eggs and obtained
eleven chicks. These were brought UP by
hand that the hen might continue sitting.
The second incubation resulted in twelve
chicks. Both broods were raised without
the loss OF chick. Eleven Brahmas and
three Leghorn roosetrs were sold at profit
of $40 With ten hens the second winter
began. and from October 10 April / SIS. 70
was cleared. In April four hens set ON
Brahma eggs and Matched out thirty-eight
chicks, and later on, being reset with two
more, Matched tfty-nine Leghorns. Eggs
and poultry were sold to the owner of a
fashionable hotel at top prices, receiving
for sixty-nine hens and chicks siS 80. and
l had forty pullets left TO begin the third
winter. Divided into four fiocks of ten
eich-as / had observed from previous ex-
perience that small flocks usually do better
than large ones-they were placed In WIN
ter quarters. The winter was extremely
cold. Eggs sold at high prices. so / man.
aged TO clear from forty hens s6S.70. In
the spring I raised 1eo BrahEas and 1Sl
Leghorns, but. as the hotel management
had changed, l sent my eggs and broilers
to Boston, and, although l did not get as
good prices, cleared S131.5S. That season I
raised nineteen turkeys, my first expert
ence, and lost several, but learned to care
for them.
The fourth winter I kept four turkeys
and fifty pullets, one pen being light Brah-
mas. These We're fed were the Leg
horns, which caused them to become too
fat to lay. / have since found that by feed
ing very little fatty food and keeping them
at work they can be made to pay as well,
If not better. than the boosted Leghorns.
AS ii was, my net proceeds We're SOIL, and
again raised 221 chicks and forty-nine tur-
keys, which Melted AZ. In four years
the pair OF hens that my mother gave me
had been the means of paying the mort
gage that looked so discouraging, again
proving that great oaks from little acorns
grow. During this time I had managed the
farm so as to get q living from 1t and pay
the taxes.
