LOST TOTS.
They Were Cared For, and Restored
to Their Parents.

Yesterday forenoon people in the re-
gion of H and Eighteenth streets no
ticed two little girls wandering up and
down as if lost. One was a mere babe
not more than a year and a. half old,
and the other about three years. AL
noon the little ones were crying and
distressed, and the attention Of Mrs.
f. L. Orcutt being attracted to their
woes, she took them into her residence,
at 1903 H street, and cared for them.
The children were hungry, distressed
by the heat, and needed the attention
that such young ones demand. Mrs.
Orcutt at once notified the officers at
the police station, but no complaint had
been made there Of lost children. AS
the afternoon wore away and no one
came to claim the little ones, the good
woman washed the babies, dressed
them in clothing of her own children
and put them to bed, as they seemed
to be worn out
About 8 o'clock last night the father
of the children put in an appearance
at the Station House, inquiring for
them, and was directed to the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Orcutt to recover them.
There are some people in this world
who do not deserve to be crowned with
the honor Of parentage. 1t seems in
credible that a father and mother could
miss their babies for an entire day and
not give notice at the police station,
that search might be made for them,
or to ascertain if anyone had reported
finding lost children

BROWN WILL NOT PREACH
Doors of the First Congregational
Church Will Be Closed
To-Day.
Its Late Pastor Declared Himself Too
Much Distraught to Fill the
Pulpit.

DR.. @. o. Brown will not preach
in the First Congregational Church
to-day, and as d consequence that ediice
will be closed all day aud evening for the
first time in long period.
The late pastor of this congregation an
nounced to Chairman /. H. Morse of the
supply committee yesterday morning that
he was suffering too greatly from the men
tai and physical wear and tear of the con-
test which resulted in his resignation
last Wednesday night to permit him to
appear in the pulpit. He was further
physically inca pacitated by straining his
back while helping TO lift case in which
were packed some of his household effects.
Although DR.. Brown has been making
preparations for the past few days to give
up his present residence, and in fact to
leave town, he is still at his old domicile
at 1703 Geary street. 1t is understood,
however, tn at as soon as be has all his eff
feots ready for shipment he will take up
his abode with friends ana later leave the
City, but whittier is a matter that neither
the doctor nor his close friends care at
this time to divulge.
There is to be an important meeting of
the officers of the church early this week,
probably on Tuesday, when the matter of
selecting successor to DIR. Brown will be
discussed. In view of the uninvit1ng field
that the Pacific Coast is said by church
people tn offer to Eastern ministers, AMI
the further disadvantage arising from a
house divided against itself, it is acknowl-
ed ged that it will be matter of no little
difficulty to satisfactorily fill the vacant
pulpit of this church.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
Q0S Rroa NAV Mau Z

wv oAOo0Wdg, 4ud1 J
The latest advices regarding the fruit
crop are that it will be about a third of
what an average crop should be. The
cherry crop will be very light, and it is
estimated that retail prices will not be
less than cents a pound. This is higher
than for many years.
Regarding other fruit than cherries the
smallness OF the crop would lead growers
to believe that good prices would make up
for the reduced quantity, but this seems
doubtful. In other parts of the State
damage has been done, but it appears that
it is not SO great as has been reported.
The prospects are therefore that prices
will be no higher except in few isolated
cases than they were last year.
Il The general fruit outlook has not been
improved by the weather of the past week.
Cherries have fallen away considerably.
Currants promise well in some localities.
Prunes in some places will amount 10 one
half TO three-quarters OF crop.
Cherry-buyers made their appearance at
Haywards during the week, The wet
weather has been bad for volunteer and
clover hay, as 1t is nearly ready to cut in
some places, and any more ram will per-
manently spoil the quality.
The wet weather has DELAYED the work
on the big warehouse and cannery near
San Leandro TO some extent, but a small
force of men is at work on il and it will
soon be finished. The machinery is being
placed and everything is very thoroughly
prepared for the fruit season. In addition
to the ordinary fruits large quantity of
tomatoes will be handled this year.
Last week peas were in demand and
brought good prices. In many sections
the crop has been a failure, while in this
vicinity it has been very good. Conse-
quently there was great scram BILE among
the commission men of San Francisco to
secure the peas from this section. There
were about dozen of them in town the
latter part of the week. and in their eager
desire to purchase offered $S sack cash
as they were brought into town, or about
5 cents pound. These were fancy prices,
and growers were jubilant.
This week there is different story. On
Monday fifteen tons of peas were shipped
and since then prices have been considera-
bly, red duced. Under the heavy shipments
from here and elsewhere prices broke and
sales were made by the sack, ranging from
81 TO 81. Had the market not been glutted
the price would have remained at from 8
to 8 cents per pound and the shippers
would have been the gamers to the extent
of the difference.

Mrs. Thurston has decided not to affiliate

on an independent course, and will spend
the summer making tour with a large
tent, in connection with her husband and

The large tent has been set up on a va
cant lot loaned by f. K. Shattuck and the
Berkeley opening will be peculiarly inter-
esting, as 1t will be partly conducted by
party OF about dozen students who were
recently converted. They have not vet
been able to find an opportunity to enter
into evangelical work and have decided to
join the tent brigade and work in haf-
mony while the evangelists are at Berke-

Captain Wood is an old soldier and is
