Samples OF oranges grown in the or

ceived in this city yesterday and were
equal in quality and appearance to any
grown in the State.
A letter from a gentleman connected
with the institution gives the informa-
ton that beside distributing a large
quantity to patients and employees, they
have marketed, or will market, fully
$1,000 worth of oranges Beside they
have a larger area covered by young
orchard not yet in bearing than which
there is nothing more promising of its
age in Southern California They also
have some thirty acres in deciduous
fruits, principally peaches and apri-
cots, which give promise of an enor-
nous yield this year; also, a large
growth of olives and grapes and a great
crop of alfalfa. pumpkins, beets and
all ordinary farm and garden products
The letter further states that If any
persons in other portions of the State
have been led to believe that the site of
that institution is a barren and sterile
waste they have been sadly misin-
formed, as these products of the soil

He IS MARKED FOR MURDER,
Highbinders Have Their Eyes on Quong
Hing Of This City.
1t is Said There is ST. 900 Offered for
the Murder of the Sac
ramentan.

A few days since the Record Union
published the particulars of the attempt
of highbinder named All Fun to muir
der Quong Hing, a well-to-do Chinese
butcher and storekeeper of Folsom, who
in this vicinity.
Coming directly on the heels of the
murder Of Little Pete in San Francis
co, the Folsom affair caused considera-
BILE comment. The Cali now states
that there is a conspiracy on foot to kill
Quong Hing, a prominent Chinaman of
this city. 1t says:
1t has just come to light that stimuli
taneOuSly with the murder of Little
Pete in this city an attempt was made
to murder another influential Chinese in
Sacramento, and that community was
spared the unWelcome sensation attend
ing a foul assassination only by the vigi-
lance of certain friends of the man
marked for death in the Capital of the
State.
The day before Pete's temerity caus-
ed his death six as desperate highbind-
ers as Chinatown can boast of took the
train for Sacramento. Their mission
was to murder Quong Hing, the former
interpreter of the Sam Yups, and there
exists little doubt that the deed would
have been consummated had it not been
for the fact that spies here learned of
the intended crime and Immediately
wired Hing of his danger.
"As soon as the latter received the
startling news he left his mercantile
business in charge of subordinates and
went into hiding until the day before
yesterday In the meantime the hatch
etmen arrived and at various times were
seen about those places where the man
marked for slaughter was most likely to
be found.
''On the day before yesterday Quong
Hing quietly boarded the train for San
Francisco where he would be surround
ed by friends and in comparatively small
danger of losing his life so long. as he
observed ordinary precaution. The high
binders We're apprised Of his arrival here
and have since returned.
"QuOng Hick, the manager Of the Sam
Yup Theater, on Jackson street, is an
other person whose life is in constant
danger. The success of that institution,
it is said is largely owing to his business
enterprise and segacity, and in order to
give the rival See Yup house, lately OPP
ened on Washington street. a better
chance to thrive he has been placed on
the death list.
Both Quong Hing and Quong Chick
are frequently seen on the street to-
gether; but they are always accompan-
led by a Caucasian guard. White guards
have a snap in the Chinese quarter
nowadays
THE conspiracy to murder Hing at
Sacramento shows one thing pretty con-
clusively-that sooner or later Little
Pete would have been murdered even If
his white guard were along. The idea
in killing Hing was to keep him from re-
turning to this city and filing the office
of interpreter to the Sam Yups, which
would be left vacant by Pete's death.
The Chinese say the sum on Quong
Kings and Quong Chicks head is 81 600
each"

Pebbles.

Lenses for the eye are made of rock
crystal Commonly called pebbles) or
crown glass. Lenses made from rock
crystal are harder and therefore less
liable to scratch. Pebbles unless cut
accurately are apt to refract unequally
They also absorb more heat. So that
lenses made from good crown glass are

and universally used. 1 shall be pleased
