LIVERY STABLE ABLAzE
A Row Of Shed Stalls Consumed With But
Little Loss

Row Of Shed Stalls Consumed With But
Little Loss
Night Watchman Walter Houston at
$3.50 last evening discovered that the
rear portion of the Niagara livery stable
at Nos. 300 and 3o5 East Third street was
afire. He turned in an alarm as quickly
as possible from the corner of Third and
Main streets, but before the engines ar
rived the flames had gained considerable
keadway.
The premises at the number given a }e
owned by M. Saunders and occupied by
L. .. II. Bogalsky as livery, feed and
sale barn. The main building in front
was not touched. but the flames con-
sumed row of shed stalls in the back
yard. In these stalls were some eigh-
teen horses but they were all gotten
out in safety, and only little hay was
consumed.
1t is stated that the blaze originated
in the extreme rear of the premises next
door on the east, No. 307, run as the
Enterprise harness shop by c. H. Strong
Mr.. Strong had stored there about four
tons of hay and it is supposed that
tramps sleeping In it carelessly dropped
lighted match or burning tobacco. The
fire spread to the west and south with
great rapidity, but was confined to the
shed stalls.
There will be a loss of $34 to Mr. Strong
and perhaps $3.50 on the sheds burned, all
insured

FARMERS INSTITUTES
Dates and Places That Have Been Determined
Upon Up to Date

The regents of the University of Cali
fornia have decided to hold a large num-
Der of farmers institutes during Au-
gust and September. They desire to
hold these meetings where they are
most appreciated. In the last report DR..
Hilgard compares the institutes of
Southern California with those of North
ern California. much to the credit of
those in our section of the state. Thus
it is that fifteen or eighteen institutes
will be held south of the center of the
state in the next few weeks.
The following dates and places are
fully decided upon: Goleta, Santa Bar
bara county, August 18th and 18th; Car
pinteria, Santa Barbara county, Au-
gust 18th and goth; Fillmore, Ventura
county, August 21st and 22d.
Again a second series will be held at
El Cajon, San Diego county, August
24th and 25th; Fallbrook, San Diego
county, August 26th an 9th; and Full
lerton, Orange county, August 2Sth and
Angeles county. At Pomona, August
31st and September 1st; San Gabriel,
September I'd and Sd; and Santa Monica
September 4th and 5th.
1t is expected that at Pomona and
Santa Monica one session at least will
be held at the experiment station.
There will be five sessions at each insti-
tute, and only two or three papers at
each session, so there will be ample
time for discussion. Excellent music,
a fine exhibit and decorations and very
interesting question adds materially to
the interest of these meetings. The in
stitutes in Southern California of late
have been very largely attended and
full of interest and enthusiasm. To
-l. 1aa% L. To-,
necessary to state that there are at
present about twenty invitations for
these meetings. OF the fifteen papers
read at these meetings about half are
prepared by persons of the locality
where the institute is held. Great pains
are taken that the topics shall be live,
practical ones, and that all persons who
prepare papers shall be those who have
attained success in their special line of
work

MRS. BLooDGooD's SONG RECITAL
Last Chance to Hear the Charming ContraIto
at Music Hail This Evening

1t may be well to remind the concert
going public that Mrs. Bloodgood's ap-
pearance tonight at Music hall will be
her farewell to Southern California,
since months complete rest is impera-
tive before she commences her engage
ments in New York. The song recital
tonight promises to be OF very peculiar
interest, since Mrs. Bloodgood has pre-
pared very exhaustive and delightful
program. 1t required much urging to
induce the contralto to include the
Queen of Sheba aria in her numbers,
but she finally consented I'd close her
program with this magnificent work.
A glance at Miss Miriam Barnes Sc
lections will show that she will essay
tasks of sufficiently difficult nature to
prove her quality. The complete and
amended program for this evening will
be as follows:
Si Oiseau j'Etais, etude, Henselt:
Etincelles, Moszkowski; La Mort de

The Largest and Strongest Cutter Yet
Planned Will See Hard Service

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19-Revenue
cutter No. 3 was launched at Cramps
shipyard this afternoon. AS the new
cutter glided down the ways, Miss Helen
Shoemaker steppedf onward and, break
ing bottle of champagne upon the cut
ter's bow, said: Il christen thee Hugh
McCulloch."
The launch was a success in every
way. The new vessel will be known as
the queen of the reveneue marine"
She has been designed for service on the
Pacific coast, and will make long Alas
kan and Arctic cruises. Not only Is she
the largest cutter yet planned for the
service, but she is of peculiar construc-
tion, fitted for her prospective battles
with heavy ice. 1t was necessary in her
building to make the largest manganese
bronze castings ever attempted to serve
as stem and stern posts. Her construc-
ton is of a composite nature, the frame
being of steel and the bottom Of five
inch planking, copper covered. She will
be equipped with four six-pound rapid
fire guns and four one-pounders In ad-
dition she will have the entirely new fea-
ture of torpedo tube. She is to be
schooner rugged, with three masts, and
will be capable of making long cruises
with only her sails in use. She will carry
a powerful search light.
Accommodations are to be provided
for ten officers and a crew of seventy
five men "

Carlisle Indians Defeat Wisconsin
College Football Team.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The football
game tonight between the Carlisle In
dians and the University of Wisconsin
eleven was a memorable one for more
reasons than one. The report that Major
Mckinley was to be one of the specta-
tors was probably potent factor, if not
more so, in drawing the crowd of be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 people than the
game itself.
The game also gave football enthusi-
asts an opportunity Of witnessing a
contest between a team that is recog-
nized as the strongest in the west and
one that has met elevens of the Big -Four
and. though defeated by them, certainly
kept them busy.
The crowd rather favored the Indians.
Probably 500 students from the Badger
state university had accompanied the
team from Madison to sheer them, and
the Wisconsin alumni was also well
Represented. But the rest of the specta-
tors were evidently in favor of the Car
Isle men and ''rooted" loudly and con-
tinually for them.
The game resulted in victory for the
Indians by score of 1s to 8.

FRESNO, Dec. 19-Bicycle enthusiasts

great inning it was. 1t was the open
ing day of the new three-lap track
which is, situated in Belmont addition.
Owing to the heavy rain early in the
week, the thought of making fast time
was given up. However considering the
spongy condition of the track the time
was very good.
The weather today was all that could
be desired and there is no doubt that
had the track been in its proper shape
some new records would have been es-
tablished. The visiting wheelmen were
well pleased at the outlook for a speedy
track and predict that with the proper
working out Fresno will have one of
the fastest tracks in the state. The at

MANAGEMENT OF ASYLUMS
Considered by the Governor and Medica
Directors
Problems to be Solved are Reduction of
Cost and the Introduction of
More Humane Methods.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19-Gov-
ernor Budd held long and important
conference at the Palace hotel TODAY
with the trustees and the medical direct
ors of the five insane asylums of the
state. The object was to reach an agree
ment on a general law for those institu-
tions. systematizing and unifying them
and introducing reforms in their man
agement, the reduction of their cost and
more humane method of treating per-
sons believed or judged to be mentally
unsound. To remedy the evils he point
ed out the governor recommended the
adoption of the New York plan of the
government of insane asylums with GER
tain amendments. This would lead TO
the formation of a central board. leav-
ing, however the local boards intact.
1t was suggested that the central board
consist of the members of the state
board of examiners, medical superin-
tendent and the secretary of the state
board of health. The governor explain
ed that by this arrangement the medical
superintendent would be the only new
salaried e@icer and said that as the
board of examiners had finally to pass
upon all expenditures, much would be
gained by its ticking part in the financial
management of the asylums from the
outset.
The discussion which took place show
ed the ideas of the governor to be gener-
ally approved, and committee was ap-
pointed. consisting of the president of
the board of trustees and the superin-
tendenti; of each of the asyluns and the
state board of examiners, to formulate
a new insane law. This will be submit
ted to the full board of each asylum and
the bill when agreed to will be submit

days. The consideration, of the land bill
relating to second-class mail matter was
set for January and 6, with a final
vote on the 9Th.
Today was given to appropriation
bills, the urgent deficiency being passed
and the legislative, executive and judi
cial advanced to completion. save the
items relating to the congressional IL
brary and the civil service commission.
Charles r. Crisp of Georgia, son and
successor of the late ex-Speaker Crisp,
was sworn in as member of the house
when the session opened, today. A let
ter from Governor Atkinson of Georgia
stated that Mr.. Crisp had been chosen
at the special election held on the 10th
ult. Mr.. Dingley called attention to the
fact that the letter was not in the usual
form of credentials, but he yielded to the
request of Turner Democrat, Georgia)
that unanimous consent be given for ad
ministering the oath to Mr.. Crisp who
took his seat.
Mr.. Cannon (Republican, Illinois) re-
ported from the committee on appropria-
tions an urgent deficiency bill carrying
$SS1,S62, and it was given immediate

ley (Texas, Democracy interposed an
emphatic protest against bills of this
character and recited how they were
rushed through congress. ALI the cities
and towns in the country would take a
turn in holding expositions.
Mr.. Dingley pointed out that the only
justification for government aid, was
that the exposition was national and IL

of federal aid to purely state exposi-
tons. The Tennessee members rallied
to the support of the measure, pointing
out the prospects Of the enterprise, and
McMillin held up views of the buildings.
