Among the fruit and mower now
elites which 1896 brings us, we no.
tice that the enterprising and reli-
able firm of James Vick's Sons,
of Rochester, N. Y, are already
calling attention to three, which
seem to have won great favor
wherever known. They are the
Double Sweet Pea, the only one in
the world true to name, Bride of
Niagara, the Early Leader Toma-
to, "the earliest of all the Tomato
family and sare to become great
favorite, and the lalready famous
blackberry, the "Rathbun."
From the praise ond compliments
given so abundantly to the bride
of Niagara, this Sweet Pea must
be more than charming, and from
thee ncomiums lavished on the new
tomato and this new blackberry, it
is pretty certain no garden desiring
to have the first and best of every
thing, can be without these three
new comers.
BY the way, readers, are any OF
you so far behind the times as not
to know "Vicks Floral Guide?" If
any of you have never seen it, send
10 cents to this firm at Rochester,
N. Y, and get a copy. You can
deduct this from the first order for
seeds and the pleasure and informa-
tion their Guide will give you will
certainly induce you to keep up the
acquaintance.

POISONED BY CHEESE.
Three Children of Abe Kirshner, a
PeddIer, Suffer From the Effects
of Eating 1t.

Three children of Abe Kirshner, ped
dler living at 4311I Tehama street, were
taken to the Receiving Hospital in the
ambulance yesterday afternoon suffering
from the effects of eating too much
''schmierkase,' curd cheese.
Mrs. Kirshner went to store on Sixth
street, between Clementina and Tehama,
yesterday morning and bought cents
worth of the cheese. She and her husband
and their three children-Abe, 5 years of
age, Samuel 3 and Gsadore, 1-partook
heartily of it. In few hours the children
became deathly SICK and retched and
vomited. Her husband was away peddling
and she became alarmed. She ran to a
drug list and he advised her to send the
children to the hospital, so the am bulan ce
was summoned.
Drs. Fitzgibbon and Helms used the
necessary antidotes and the children were
soon able to be sent home. The youngest
suffered more than the other two. DR..
Fitzgibbo examined the schmierkase and
found that it was rancid but not poisoned,
as was at first suspected. Neither OF the
parents suffered from eating the cheese.

tions. Secretary Smith is authority for the
statement that the banks, hotels and cor
porations have not yet been canvassed,
and that substantial returns are expected
from them.
Next Monday evening the executive COM
mlttee will meet and generally review the
work done thus far. Reports from the
various subcommittee are then expected.
At this meeting some new plans for the
raising of funds will doubtless be sug-
gested. One proposition is that subscrip-
ton lists be opened at tn local newspaper
offices or other suitable places for the
benefit of persons who are willing to make
contributions, but prefer doing so volun-
tarily, instead of subscribing at the reques t
OF agents, who are paid q commission for
making collections.
The following circular, issued by the
decoration committee, speaks for itself:
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. June 10, 1896.
To the merchants and business men of San Fran
ctScO-GENTLEMEN: The committee on decor
atoms Of the Fourth OF July celebration, 1896,
have under consideration several plans in con-
nection with the patriotic displays TO be made
on that occasion, and it is their desire TO ad-
vance the interests OF the City generally, with
which your individual interests are SO init
mately blended.
AT the last meeting of the committee the
chairman was instructed to issue circular adj
dress inviting you to attend meeting TO be
held in the assembly rooms, Mills building. on
Tuesday evening, June 16, at 7 80 o'clock, to
discuss the plans referred to.
One plan proposes an artistic patriotic illu-
mination of the central par { of the City, to be
ready and in operation on the evening of July
2 and to continue through the night of July
4. This being extensively advertised lmmedi-
ately will, it is believed, not only enhance the
patriotic zeal of our own citizens but will at
tract from all parts of the State to this City
during the three days of the illumination
large crowds OF visitors anxious to witness this
patriotic display. 1t is hardly necessary to
suggest that this large influx of visitors will
res ult in pecuniary advantages to our business
men very largely in excess of the outlay in
CURED.
1t has also been decided that in lieu of the old
plan of having set pieces of fireworks in re-
mote and comparatively inaccessible parts of
the City the executive committee be requested
to provide forlsetting off bombs, rockets and
illuminating fires on the public squares and
suitable places contiguous 10 the central. busy
part OF the City during the illumination.
On these and kindred topics free discussion
will be had in which you are cordially invited
to participate. AS this is OF great interest to
you individually do not fail to attend. Re-
spectfully yours W. H. DAVIS,
chairman Committee on Decorations.

Conuoi.seurs in California.

The Paris Figaro short time ago COM
plimented Californians on their discriml-
nation of taste and their preference for
fine wines, and referred to the large impor-
tations of Pommerv Sec into California.
According to recent importations Messrs.
William Wolff & Co., the agents for
Pommery Sec, are again heading the list,
as in previous years, by large majority.
This is so much more surprising as it is an
accepted fact that Pommery Sec, owing to
its hi.her price, has its largest custom
principally among the select and aristo-
cratic classes of Europe, and that the
management by no means seeks to make 3
record for quantity of output regardless of
ouality-a system so frequently applied by
champagne shippers. After many years
of conscientious labor the firm OF Pom
merry therefore enjoys to-day the reward
of recognition on the part of the refined
and real fastidious classes all over the
gIobe.-Pacifc Wine and Spirit Review.

HAS AGREED TO SETTLE,
Action Taken by the North
American Navigation
Company.
It's Debt to the Panama Railroad to
Be Liquidated on 10 Per
Cent Basis.

At the meeting of the shareholders of
the North American Navigation Com
pany, held yesterday at the rooms of the
Board OF Trade, it was decided to settle
the claim of the Panama Railroad Com
pany against that corporation.
When the debtor com pany went out of
business two years ago it owed the Pan
anna company $50. The latter did not
press its claim, and nothing was done
toward liquidating it. AS the debt would
become outlawed after running two years,
a special agent, in the absence of E. H.
Hinton at Panama. was sent here from
New York to close up the account.
A proposition was made to the Naviga-
ton Company to accept IS per cent of the
amount in full settlement if paid by June
1. A committee was appointed by the
debtors, and pending its report the time
of payment was extended to June Is, and
again to June 20.
This committee reported at yesterdays
meeting 10 the effect that the debt was q
just one and ought to be paid and practi.
caiIy recommended that it be paid, but
suggested 20 per cent of the original
amount as a basis of settlement instead oil
| 70. The report was adopted.
1t is likely that this will prove accept
able to Mr.. Drake. the special representa-
tive of the Panama Railroad Company.
There are 2030 shares of the Navigation
out, and as 70 per cent of the $35, $50
amounts. to $24, 745, it will mean ar assess
ment of $12 IA per share.
! Few if any of the shareholders. it is
believed, will decline to recognize and
meet their liabilities in the matter, but
should they do so, suit is certain to follow
as much as measure of justice to those
| who do pay up as for any other reason.

The burglary was reported to Policeman
Dugan as soon as it was discovered on the
return of the family but no trace of the
burglars has been secured. 1t is believed
they are the same two men who robbed
the house of Martin Schneider, $50 Hayes

MAD-DoG TYPE" OF MAN.
Judge BeIcher Sent Charles Scopesi to

Judge Be1cher Sent Charles Scopesi to

Judge Belcher yesterday sentenced
Charles Scopesi to fourteen years in Fol-
som. In doing so he took occasion tc
state that Scopesi is of The "mad-dog type"
of man, and one who should be put where
he could do no harm. In consequence he
gave him the limit.
Scopesi tried to murder his wife in Feb
ruary last, and has since declared that as
soon as he is out of jail he will finish the
job. On his first attempt the accused went
home with a determination to kill his
spouse. He shot at her several times, but
failed in his purpose, and then beat her
over the head with the pistol until he
broke it. He pleaded insanity, but his
subsequent threats convinced Judge
Belcher that he should be severely dealt

Where the Walters Ask No odds.

Common as the practice of tipping is
becoming in this city, there must still
be restaurants in which tips are neither
given nor expected, and among these
must be some, at least, Of the beef and
beafs places in the neighborhood of Park
row. I have not been so familiar with
these places in recent years as I used to
be years ago, before they had grown SO
large and when coffee and cakes fur
nished the chief staple Of the food pro-
vided In those days am quite sure
that nobody ever thought of tipping the
walters, and I believe that the same
practice prevails in them now. 1t might
be that waiter would take a tip from
some old customer with whom he was
on friendly terms but I doubt if he
would take one from a casual guest l
think if such guest should put a tip
on the table the waiter would wipe it
off on the floor with the cloth with
which he swabs the table.
The beef and bean places are refresh
ing, not only in the food they furnish,
but in the spirit of self reliant indie
pendence that pervades them.-Cor

The Chinese Religion.

Chinese religion has never had the
puerilities, the animal cults, the cruel
ties and fanaticism of other religions.
Like the Jews, the Chinese had very
vague ideas Of future rewards and pun
ishments and of life after death. Their
ancestor cult had no mythologic motive
like that of India Or Japan. The CHI
nese. like the Jews and ancient Esyp-
tians, had the philosophic conception
that continuation Of life lies not i'll the
Immortality of the soul, but in the per-
petual remembrance of the righteous by
mankind. The Chinese could not perse-
we're with metaphysical problems, and
SO did not advance.
Confucius appeared at a time when
the Chinese felt the need of religion
but the greatest of their religious re-
formers was Lao-tseu, who was born
about 6O4 B. c., or half a century be-
fore Confucius. He introduced the word
Tao. 'sway,' for the idea OF divinity,
which previously was confused with the
visible sky (Schang-ti). Tao is the eie-
ment from which everything comes and
to which everything returns. Lao-tseu
also taught that the departure OF the
soul from the body was no disaster fol
us. But he was too vague to be con-
yincing reformer Confucius was not an
original thinker like Lao-tseu; he culleo
what he liked from the older writer's,
and allowed people to believewhat they
chose. When consulted, he spoke IN al
oracular manner, and while satisfying
| no one he offended nobody.-Nature

Some IdiOms.

A writer in The Chautauquan says
that many "Cracker" idioms Of the south
are simply obsolete English idioms.
"Fielding, for instance" he says,
"makes a very near approach to the
crackerism He allowed he'd do it, in
such passage as this: 'The audience
allowed 1 did your part justice;' and
when Burke complains that England is
disfurnished of its forces he is using
almost the exact phraseology of my
Cracker neighbor, who has come to bor-
row a peck Of meal and politely hopes
that am not 'disfurnishing' myself for
his accommodation. Ill is still occasion

is not unknown among the same class

and Shakespeare, and its deriyative, i'll
