try Olney to commence action in the
United States District Court for the North
ern District of California against the
Southern and Central Pacific Railway
companies for the quieting OF title to GER
tain lands lying along the line of railway
from Sacramento to San Jose.
The land is agricultural in character and
is valued at upward of 81 ,000,0 600.
These suits are brought on grounds sim
liar to those recently instituted against
certain properties claimed by the railroad
in Butte and other northern counties. The
land in dispute in this particular instance
is along the roads Western Pacific route.
1t is alleged that some of the land in
question was enormously patented to the
railroad since it had been omestead ed
that the State selected certain strips un-
der the act of 1854; that certain acreage
was exempt because of belonging to GER
tain Spanish anG Mexican grants, and
again that certain other lands were out
side the limit laid down by the acts of July
l. 1862, and July 2, 1864.

Mr.. Lelong read an interesting and prac-
tical essay on the Goblin moth, its habits
and the most efficient means for its extir-
patton. Concerning remedies for the pest
Mr.. Lelong said that only pure paris green
should be used. Much OF the drug now on
the market was absolutely worthless, he
said, but often the farmers themselves
were to blame because they wanted a

laboratory OF the State University. His
subject was the stock-feedlng value OF Cali

illustrated by a number of large tables
hung up against the walls In which the
propositions advanced by the essayists
were proved by figures that couldn't lie. :"
Bralnerd Rowley presented a report from
the committee appointed by the society to
consider the free fruit market project in its
practical bearings. The report was strongly
in favor of the scheme and recommended
that the Horticultural Society work in
union with the Board of Trade, Merchants
Association. Chamber of Commerce and
other organizations, for the calling of a
growers convention, whereat the matter
could be practically discussed. Mr.. Row
ley further said that before going to the
meeting he had a conference with the
Board of State Harbor Commissioners, and
reported that body as having expressed its
willingness to do all in its power to further
the project. Section 4, embracing 500 feet
OF the sea wall was mentioned as an eligible
site for the free fruit market.
Several of the members were in favor of
petitioning the Harbor Commission for
more space, and some discussion ensued.
1t was at length decided that the COM
mittee should continue its labors, and rep
resent the Horticultural Society at the
convention should it be held.

Morton is very good man. l have been

'As for Tom Platt, 1 regard him good

AN UNFORTUNATE VOYAGE,
Captain Nicoll of the Agnes
Oswald Tied Up in Della.
goa Bay.
His Wife Died While He Was Bid
ding the Doctor Farewell at
the Gangway.

Captain Nicoll of the British bark Agnes
Oswald is in sore trouble in Delagoa Bay.
Shortly after he arrived there his wife
died. Next his entire crew deserted and
went to the gold mines. Then when he
wanted to get new crew, water and bal
last the Portuguese refused to assist him,
and by last accounts his vessel is still tied
up in South African waters.
The Agnes Oswald left here about six
months ago for Puget Sound to load lum-
Der for Delagoa. Captain Nicoll was not
a universal favorite in shipping circles.
but new ertheless he secured particularly
good crew. Many of the men came from
the Sailors Home and others were coast
ing men out of job.
The vessel loaded lum Der at Port Gamble
and the men stayed by the ship. After Ieav-
ing the sound there were mum ber of differ
ences of opinion between the captain and
his crew, and the result was that when the
Agnes Oswald arrived at Deiagoa Bay the
men deserted in body. Captain Nicoll
does not seem to have got on any better
with the Portuguese authorities than he
did with his men, hence the present
trouble over water, ballast and crew.
When the Agnes Oswald left San Fran
cisco Mrs. NicolI was very sick woman.
When the bark reached Delagoa Bay she
was gradually sinking, and the captain
ment the anchor was dropped. A Portu-
guese physician responded to the call, and
after examination said there was nothing
organicaliy the matter, and that the wo-
man would be all right in few days.
He was wrong in his diagnosis. however,
as next day Mrs. Nicoll was worse. An
other physician was sent for, but he re-
fused to answer the call unless the first
doctor was present. Both men were told
to come at once. and after making a thor
ough investigation they told the captain
that there was nothing seriously wrong
with his wife.
Captain Nicoll went on deck to see them
off, waved his hat to them as the boat
sped toward the shore, returned to the
cabin and found his wife dead. He rushed
on deck and waved Practically to the de-
parting boat. but no one understood his
signs. Another boat was manned and
sent ashore, but when the doctors arrived
all they could do was to shrug their
shoulders and say in Portuguese, "It is
comprehensive"
The private letter which brought the
above information states that could Cap
tain Nicoll get a crew, water and ballast
he would at once start for San Francisco
and trust to luck to secure freight to
England.

MUSIC FOR THE MASSES
The Sousa Band Brings a Big
Audience to the Audi.
torium.
Some New Marches Which Arouse
Popular Enthusiam-" King
Cotton"

Sousa and his band opened the Audi
torium under its new management last
night. and the building was taxed to its
full capacity to accommodate the crowds of
march lovers who fiocked to see their old
favorite conduct again.
When the curtain went up it revealed
pretty much the same band as Of yore.
Sousa, richer by a few more magnificent
medals, received quite an ovation on his
appearance. His conducting has not
chan nged at all. He guides his men with the
same fetching, Deisarte-like gestures
which have always been so dear to the
hearts of mis- admirers, and he has the
same perfect command over every inStru-
ment on the bandstand which has char
acterized him on former visits.
In the class of music which he has made
especially his own Sousa again showed
himself 10 be beyond criticism. His band
is beautifully balanced, the wood being
almost as effective as strings. The bass is
equally good and in the Sousa genre of
music the shading was most effective
and at the same time wonderfully refined
and delicate for military band.
Sousa's limitations were shown when he
attempted Liszt's Second Hungarian
Rhapsodie." The transcription is not so
effective for a band as is the Muller
Berghaus orchestral arrangement, but
even ldkIuS tulS lHIO CoHSlucIdtloIl,
Sousas cold, precise Interpretation vul-
CARRIED the rhapsodie to the level of a
two-step polka. 1t was not the band That
was at fault, but the conductor, who is
evidently lacking in the temperament
necessary to grasp the spirit of the capri
cious Magyar music.
But the audience had not gone to hear
semi-classlcal works; they wanted good.
swinging Sousa marches, catchy airs and
descriptive music of the popular kind. All
they wanted they got, with encores thrown
in, and as a reward of merit they heaped
applause on the popular conductor and his
band. There were eight mum bers on the
programme, but Sousa is q past master-a
Washington past master-of managing a
popular audience. He gave encores, and
then thrice encores to the encores, till
people clapped harder than ever with sat-
isiaction 10 think how much they we've
getting of a good thing.
Among the compositions new to this
City played last night was king Cotton
March, twin brother to the "Manhat-
tan Beach," "The Washington Post
March" etc.. and which is sure to become
as popular as the earlier offspring OF
Sousa's brain. The descriptive piece
Three Quotations" was also good, par
ticularly the musical description of the
King of France who marched his men up
hill and down again.
Of the soloists Arthur Peyor, the accom-
plished from bonist, is already well known
here. Miss Myrta French, the soprano
soloist, has sweet, flexible voice. which
she uses we'll. Miss Carrie Duke, the vo-
linist, played a Sarasate Gypsy Dance
neatly and nicely, but without very much
expression. Needless to say, all the SOLO
lists were most enthusiastically encored.

school Dresses,

The fret little frocks that demand at
tention in the winter season are those
for school wear. Even very small girls
have their own ideas as to how they
should dress at school, and it is posi-
tive cruelty to dress child in a way
that makes her unhappy, particularly
now when there are SO many pretty
STYLES to choose from. There are two
patterns for skirts-one gored. and one
made in straight breadths. The former
is quite on the fashion of a woman 8
gown, with the front breadth narrow
at the top and wide at the bottom, but
while there are not so many cores. and
the skirt is not. xaggeratediy full
great care must be taken to have the
front end side breadths fit we'll; just
q little fullness can be allowed, but not
enough to make it apparent.
The straight aH-around gathered
skirts are not as fashionable as they
were. but many mothers like. them as
au inclined to he stout, these straight
skirts are not pretty. for of necessity
they have a great deal OF fullness
around the hips; but where d child
is light, the fullHess IS mere becoming
than the gored skirts Plaids IN ali
sorts of materials are considered smart,
and are generally mad, up with the
straight skirts. A pretty French model
has the waist with quite a full blouse
effect in front, straps over the shoIli-
iiers, and put on in Yoke fashion, with
belt and bands around the sleeves to
match, of white satin al inch and a
half wide, braided in Grec4an pattern
