MEETINGS AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
The revival services which are being
held mt the Old Opera House every night
by the Kew. Joseph Stras and Il. r. Fish
burne are growing in interest and large
crowds are in attendance nightly. Last
night beginning at 1880 there was a
song service conducted by Prot. Burnett,
assisted by large number OF ladies' and
gentlemen. which was followed by two
urgent and eloquent appeals to the IN.
converted by Alessrs. Stras and Fish
hurnc. These meetings are doing great
and glorious work and should be aided in
every way by the Christian people of this
city. In this connection, the great pro-
gress in Christian work being made by
laymen may be noted. \ few years ago
it was left almost entirely to the minis
try; now. such auXiliaries us Nr Fish
burne and Mr.. Stras to the work in the
ministry are springin. up all over the
land. with results that are marvellous in
the furtherauce of Christian work and
the rescue of the fallen. 1t seems indeed
n work peculiarly adapted to laymen, TO
reach those who rarely enter IL church,
hu. who may be met at Other places by
those who come into close touch with
them in every day business life.

POLICE COURT.

IOlIlCE W DhI.
There was an unusually small docket
in the police co"lt yesterday. as only two
cases were heard, but they consumed a
great deal of time. Dan Brooks, col
ored, was fined 50 for being disorder.y,
and then the case against Sallie Burks,
colored, for uisorderly Conduct was taken
up. This case grew out of family quar-
rel over in the "Peach and Honey" dist.
rict and attracted II great many of the
residents OF the community to the police
court. After examining great many
witnesses for both sides Justice Wood
finally dismissed the case j. ID. John

A LOVER OF CALIFORNIA.
Tribute to Capay Valley by
Mr.. HOyt.
CFrom the Chicago Daily Sum-

(From the Chicago Daily Sum-
Without intending any disparag cement
of the magnificent and fertile valleys of
the southern county as a candid in
vestigator / must admit that there are
many splendid valleys contiguous to
this metropolis which, for fertility, eli
mate and all the natural conditions de-
sired by home-builders, are unsurpassed
anywhere in the world. One of the most
promising and attractive of these
northern valleys is the Capay Valley,
in Yolo County, where scores Of recent
settlers are making for themselves
homes which will combine the maxi
mum of rural comfort and prosperity.
The valley is about ninety miles by rail
from San Francisco, and is traversed in
it's entire length from Esparto to Rum
sey by the Woodland, Capay and Clear
Lake Railroad distance of twenty
one miles. 1 hear the most glowing
reports from parties who have visited
that valley, and am informed that those
who are located there are more than
pleased with the choice they have made.
Already within comparatively small
area there are scores of cosy homes
well-tilled ranches and prolific orchards
The total number of fruit trees there,
comprising many varieties, exceeds half
a million. Several enterprising fruit
growers from southern California are
now experimenting in orange growing
in Capay Valley. Thus far they are
highly encouraged in their undertake
ing and are perfectly confident of sue
cess declaring that there are few sec
on Sf IKraJ do flfa in
every respect to orange growing as is
the Vallye that they have selected in
Yolo County.
Lands in Capay Valley are being sold
to home seekers at remarkably low
prices, all things considered, and on as
easy terms as any purchaser could pos
sibly expect. The buyer is simply re-
quired to pay the interest on the pur-
chase price for five years at the rate of
q per cent. per annum. Thus the settler
is enabled to make enough by using the
land properly to pay for it before any of
the purchase price is required of him.
With proper management he can also
produce sufficient to Insure his own
maintenance, and in five years, at the
longest, be the happy possessor of a val
liable property free from incumbrance.
William Fl. Mills, than whom no man
has more thorough knowledge of Cali
fornia lands and land values, is hand
ling the Capay Valley homestead prop
erty, and all necessary information per-
tanning thereto is sent to applicants
from Mr.. Mills office in the Hobart
building, San Francisco. I advise all
home-seekers to communicate with him
Though my personal interests on this
coast are in Southern California, that
fact does not deter me from doing JUS
tice to northern portions of the State,
OF which the Capay Valley is one of the
very best among numerous other val
leys. Readers of Eastern papers should
| note these facts and profit by them.

citizens non-sectarian education is the
duty of the State, and the Examiner"
blasphemes against all truth and all
logic when it declares that paroch1al
schools or denomina tional schools help
the State to perform any of it's duties
to it's citizens. The State does not owe
denominational educational to its citi-
zens; that obligation rests upon the
denominations themselves. The State
does owe non-sectarian instruction on
purely scientific basis to it's citizens.
Nor has any denominational instruc-
ton any place in popular system of
education. When therefore our smooth
and agile contemporary, with that pc
culiar cunning casuistry which seeks
to mislead rather than enlighten, de-
clares that denomina tional schools are
an agency that helps the State to per-
form it's duties to its citizens, it in
dulges in a sophistry intended to de-
ceive.
Every exemption is the exact equiv
alent of a gift, and every such exemp-
tion becomes the subject of abuse. To
secure exemption from taxation all
man will have to do is to leave
a vineyard to an educational institution
with the understanding that he is to
have the rents and profits of the vine
yard during his lifetime and it is ex-
from h6l6 6ir1cy of
land, mills, manufactures, vineyards,
wine cellars and every accessory Of
commerce or industry may thus escape
taxation.
Moreover, we find our plausible con-
temporary indulging in another refrain
which has been sung by the enemies
of popular education in all time. 1t
declares:
If hearted people of means
think it better to endow hospitals, and
orphan asylums, and technical schools,
and refugees under conditions that as
sure their efficient mana cement than
TO leave all provision for such needs
to the chances of politics, they ought
TO be encouraged to make that dispO-
SitiOn of their property.
This is a simple declaration that pop
ular education is under the condemna-
ton of being amenable to the chances
Of politics" If it is advisable that the
State donate by exemption from tax
alton sums Of money to those who es-
tablish schools, refugees, hospitals ard
orphan asyluns, free from the chances
of politics. then the full logic for the
destruction Of the common school sys-
tenn of this country is supplied for, If
it be true that bequests Of this kind
are more certain of efficient manage
ment, it is equally true that a more
efficient management would attend the
education of the young if it was taken
from the control Of the State and placed
in charge of the Church.
It will avail nothing in the discussion
Of this question to any one from any
quarter to interpose the popularity of
any particular institution in favor Of
this dangerous innovation. They will
be placed in the foreground because
they are popular and because they have
a place in the affections Of the people
simply to confer upon a dangerous
precedent a more innocent aspect And
it is a matter Of genuine surprise as
well as sincere regret that the conduc-
tors of such institutions would permit
their popularity to be prostituted to
tnts base use.

If Chief Clerk Duckworth of the AS
sembly had had a private contract SIM
liar TO the organizing of the Assembly,
and had paid the expenses out of his
own pocket, it is quite likely that an
outlay of not to exceed 800 would have
been made instead of one of 81, ,230,
chargeable to the State. The people
expect of this session of the Legislature
the enactment of laws which will pre-
vent such abuses hereafter.-Oakland
Times.
When Governor Atkinson of Georgia
was here the other day he stated that
in his State the Senate gives its Secre-
tary $50 a day. He furnishes for that
sum all the clerical and attache service
needed and clears for himself some
thing like so to $50 net. There is a

\h,:th a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
iy removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debihtating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputa BILE druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
ard the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and q yes most general satisfaction.

The letter carriers bill has passed the
Senate of the United States without a
dissenting vote. 1t is just bill and
must have impressed the Senators with
its Righteousness or it would not have
received SO unusual a vote The prop
osition is TO give to letter carriers
fourth grade salary for first class Post
offices, and a third grade salary for
those of second class offices. In first
class offices at present there are three
classes of salary, the highest being
81 900 and the lowest 5000. But under
Senator NIitchell's bill a fourth class of
81 200-which may be reached after
four years selvice-will be created, and
make three grades in second class
offices. namely 5000, $3.50 and 81 900, as
now applying generally. When IT is
considered that it takes a carrier sew
eral years TO reach a fourth grade sal
ary, during a portion of which time he
serves as a substitute only at $50 a
month. il will be seen that the addi-
tionaI reward is well earned. There
seems to be no doubt about the bill
becoming a law.

The Legislature is wrestling with a
bill to prevent newspapers from pub
fishing reports of the drawings of lot
teries. If the bill passes there will be
a fine opportunity for the Governor to
sign it and then improve the occasion
by declaring another public holiday for
the triumph of virtue. It will make no
difference whatever that the law we
now have prohibits lottery advertising.

are not lottery advertisements, what,

should protect its members against the
sale of impure food to any person in the

cleanly premises and makers, and
bad air conditions in the food
factory, are inimical to the

what the physical conditions in baker
