CALIFORNIA; ORANGE CROP.
Enough Fruit to he Sent East to
Fill Half of Broadway.


LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 25.-The
shipment of this years orange crop
from Southern California to the East
has already begun, and the prospects
now are that last years output will
be almost doubled. The first shipment
was made nearly a month earlier than
last year, with fruit that was already
better colored and sweeter. The Or
ange in Southern California is not
thoroughly ripe before January or
February, and the old resident Of this
region is apt to think it not worth
eating before March, when it has
reached it's deepest golden tint and It's
juices are at the sweetest and most
luscious. But the Eastern consumer
is in a hurry for his oranges, and, if
he is willing to pay well for them
while they are green, the grower IS
more than willing to get rid of them
as early as possible.
Last year 1000 carloads of oranges
were shipped East from the groves
of Southern California. and this year
conservative estimates put the proba-
BILE shipments at $4,000 carloads, winch
would be about enough oranges to NIL
Broadway for half it's length chock
full of the golden globes. The freeze
that destroyed the groves of Florida
a few years ago gave the orange in
dustry in California a tremendous i'm
petus, and ever since it has been going
forward by leaps and bounds. But
even here, where the influence of the
Eastern storms is cut off by noun
tain ranges, the growers are in con-
slant fear Of frost through the entire
winter. A few years ago decided
freeze well-nigh ruined the orange
crop In a wide belt some distance back
from the coast. The growers hushed
it up, and shipped their frozen fruit
away as fast as they could box It,
But they soon learned that frosts, like
chickens, come home to roost, and
their oranges got a bad name for a
year or two.
Great care is taken now In selecting
the fruit for shipment with both or
anges and lemons. SO rigorous are the
packers in their inspection and so high
is their standard Of fruit fit for ship
ment that both lemon and orange
growers are constantly complaining
that there is no money in the business
for them.
The lemon industry is also growing
very rapidly, and there will be shipped
this year about 1000 carloads. against
1000 last year.

Clifton r. Breckenridge, the former

sLUGG1sHNEss OF THE CHINESE.

National Characteristic Illustrated
by the German Seizure of Seaport.
Nothing could better prove the utter
unlikeness of China to other nations,
or could come nearer to showing that
she, is not a nation at all, than the ease
with which a few hundred German
sailors have been able to seize one of
her most valuable harbors, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. Here is a mere
handful of men who have established
themselves on q land to which they
have no shadow of a claim, and with
only the shadow of a pretext for their
action Close to them is a big town,
every one of whose inhabitants has a
deadly hatred of foreigners, even when
inoffensive, and within a few days
march are millions and millions of men
who, under intelligent leadership, can
fight both desperately and effectively.
Yet the Germans have met with little
more resistance than they would have
encountered if they had tried to steal
the luncheons of half a dozen children
on their way to a country school. The
Chinese could shove them off into the
sea by mere force of numbers, and yet
the thought of attempting this does not
seem to have occurred to anybody in
all the whole so-called empire. In
stead the Chinese are offering money,
concessions. anything, If the insolent

The purchase comprises 10000 acres Of land

Junot Buxton, who was pardoned by Presi-

good fortune has made the Christmas a very
happy one, though it has been spent behind

with delight by all music lovers, but more
especially by those who, for different Iea-

terious only to those who think Of
China as a country with ruler and a

invaded only the bit of land on which

Charles H. Russell, well known to the
police of the large cities Of the East

out of Jail, is again at his old tricks;
but, business being dull, this time he
plies his trade on the members Of his

we'll known and highly respectable
family in aristocratic Arlington. Last
week he called on his sister, Mrs.
Charles H. Doughty, saying he was on
his way to New York, and thought he
would call to see how his relatives
were getting along. He stayed short
time and left, ostensibly to go to New
York. He returned about 4 o'clock p.
M, and, finding his sister out, succeed
ed in having the servant girl let him in.
He did not wait for his sisters return,
but left in about half an hour, taking
all the jewelry he could find, including
many diamonds, all to the value of $500.
