THE WOOL TRADE.

An official statement gives the wool imports
into the United States for April at IL, ,O5O 954
pounds, against 3O,OsS, 5e9 pounds for the same
month last year One reason for the marked fall
ing OF in these imports for the two months is the
fact that the wool is worth relatively more in the
foreign markets than il this country. owing 10 the
glut of foreign WOO in the United Stat s. The

Grand Medley of National and popular airs
of America, arranged by T. Moses.
This is essentially a popular pro-
gramme. No. ,, the overture by Suppe,
IS much admired, being at the same time
as meIodious as it is classical in COM
position. Sousa's new 'El Captain"
should excite considerable interest, it
being by an American, and a very pro-
life and popular writer. This is
probably the first time Of it's pro-
duction by a military band, this copy
having been sent by Mr.. Sousa to Mr.
Neale, arriving only Thursday morning

silver as a metal of coinage to the place
1T occupied prior to the Demonstration
Act of 1878. The Republican party is in
favor of bimetallism if it can be accom-
plished through international agree
ment, and the Democratic party has de-
clared in favor of bimetallism to be es-
tablished by the United States alone.
The agricultural interests of Cali
fornia are deeply interested in the solu-
tion of this great question, and l can see
no inpropriety in having the champions
of these theories elucidate them before
a jury of their countrymen so lntelll-
gent and so deeply interested as the
horticulturists and agriculturists of this
State.
Third-Many theories have been ad-
vanced concerning the attraction mere
of a reinforcement of population and
capital. Two or three addresses
on the subject of how best to promote
immigration and what class of immigra-
ton is most desirable would constitute
an exceedingly interesting and intel
lectual feature of the coming exhibition.
Fourth-A question is before the peo-
PIE of California in the form OF an
amendment to the Constitution to eX-
tend to women the right of franchise.
This is a question as deep and as broad
as the foundations of our free lnstitu-
ttions and relates to the extension of
the right of sovereignty to one-hat the
population of the State. 1t is propo-
siti. n to extend the great doctrine OF
government by consent to the wives
and daughters of our people. 1t is to
have an influence on the destiny OF the
State, and | can see no Inconsistency
or impropriety on the part of the State
Board of Agriculture asking the advo-
Gates or opponents of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution to show
on which side the highest interest of the
people of the State of California is to
be found. / can see no reason why the
State Board of Agriculture should not
conduct an intellectual tournament re-
lating to these great questions with the
same propriety that they conduct the
speed programme or the competitive eX-
hibition of the products of industry.
In my humble opinion, it would dig
Nifty and elevate these issues, allay
party rancor and emphasize their seri-
Gus import AS conducted by the State

OLD MAN TALMADGE'S coin.
His Wife'S Lawyers Want to See the
Color Of Il.
They Asked for $1,000, But Judge
Catlin Allowed Her 5000
on Account.

| Farmer Talmadge, who made such
costly matrimonial mistake a couple of
years ago, and who was commanded by
Judge Catlin to pay $4,000 to his di-
vorced wife, as alimony, is holding on
to his coin with the grip of drowning
person.
Some weeks ago his wife's attorneys,
Z. L. Jones and j. B. Devine, applied
to the court for an order requiring Tai
madge to pay 81 900 tc his wife on ac-
count, in order that she might pay
them their fees and discharge some
other obligations incurred by the trial
In the meantime the defense secured a
continuance of a month in which to
prepare their statement on the motion
for a new trial
The hearing of the thousand-dollar
motion came up yesterday. Attorneys
jones and Devine We're on hand to
urge favorable action ON their motion,
and j. c. Ball, one OF Talmadge's attor-
neyS, was there to try and see that no
hole was made in the twelve-t thousand
dollar pile of gold of his clients that is
tied up in bank under an injunction.
Mr.. Ball wanted the hearing contin-
ued on the ground that his associate,
A. j. Bruner, is out of town enjoying
the proceeds of his close application to
the interests of his clients-in other
words, is taking a vacation Mr.. Ball
said it was understood that no con-
tested matters would be heard this
| month, and he did net wish to go on
with the one before the court in the
absence of Mr.. Bruner
| through entirely different glasses. He
said it was not right that Mr. Jones
and himself should be kept out of their
hard- earned fees and their client to be
left without any means of support,
! since the attorneys for the defense had
received their money and the defend
| ant was able to pay what was de-
manded by his divorced wife under her
| Judgment. The defense are expected
to appeal the case to the Supreme
| court, and this meant delay and more
hard work by Mrs. Talmadges attor-
neys.
Judge Catlin said he did not regard
the thousanddollar matter as one of
contest. Mr.. Ball then said that if
Mrs. Talmadge's attorneys insisted on
its being heard at that time simply be-
cause the alimony for this month had
not been paid, he would willingly ad-
vance that sum himself
The question of alimony, said Messrs.
Jones and Devine, did not cut any fig
IRE in the proceeding then before the
court
Mr.. Ball then gave out an intimation
that possibly the appeal might not be
taken. AT least, he said, it might come
about that the plaintiffs attorneys will
not be called upon to perform any fur
ther services for their client, in which
event he did not think it right that his
client should be required to put up
money to pay their fees on the prospect
of future services.
After some further argument the
court finally made an order requiring
Talmadge to pay 5000 to his divorced
Wife within three days.
While not large, this sum may serve
to keep the proverbial wolf from her
door for a few weeks, and until it is
determined whether or not the defend
ant will carry the case to the Supreme
Court.
