OLIVES IN CALIFORNIA.
Americas Growers Helped by the New TariR
and an Increasing Demand.

NV IN hhcFSAbihE nan
By the Federal census of 1890. the olive plan.
tations of the golden State OF California included
607.377 trees, and Of this number 27s. 1881 were
bearing fruit Olives TO the amount of moro
than 1900, 900 pounds and the value Of nearly
100000 had been produced in California in
the year previous. Such has been the develop
mcnt Of the olive industry since. that in 1895
100000 olive trees were sold for planting from
the nurseries of Pomona alone. and Il Is esti-
mated that 600, 900 olives trees were planted in
California. 1t is predicted that at no very dis
tnnt date California will produce as much olive
oil as Italy and Spain together. The average
annual product OF olive oil in Italy amounts to
5000 tons, in Spain To 100000 in France to
$4,000, in Portugal to 100, DOC, and In Greece
to 65, 900 tons. a total in these five countries
OF l $50. 900 tons.
The portion OF California which is best fitted
for olive culture | OF course. the southern part,
on the Pacific slope. and it is computed that the
counties OF California where the olives may be
constitute the largest and finest
olive growing area in the world. II Is from 600
to 700 miles long. and varies in width from 80
to l25 miles, the total area being twice that de.
voted to olives In Spain. The demand for olives
and olive oil in the United States is constantly
on the increase. and tho opportunities for an en-.
thereby male excellent and. moreover, tho
facilities o ilransit for freight between the East
md the West are constantly being improved.
Steamship charges between Texas and the
North Atlantic points nre lower now than they
have been for many years and 4 considerable
portion Of the product which comes to The East
from California. and. cspecir lly from southern
California, Is sent over the lines having q ter
minus in the Lone star state; This Temporary
Stimulus OF an Eastern market Tor California
olives and olive products is OF loss Importance.
IN thn Judgment OF 6ellers, however. than the
fact that the demand for olives and olive oil is
largely. on the Increase. and the necessity Of
importing olive oil, except OF tho very fine
grades, from Europe no longer exists. Under the
Mckinley Tariff law OF 1880. olives in Jars and
barrels were FREQ OF duty. Unrcr tho Wilson
Tarif law there was n dGty OF 20 per cent, but
under the. new law there Is n duty OF 25 per
cont: on olives i%riIortcd in, jars ana Is cents por
gallon on olives imported In barrels. On olive
oil tho duty has been raised un or th" new tariff
from 30 to 40 cents n gallon and the effect OF
these chang .. il is evrrrjrd will bo favorable
10 M enlarged market for tho American olive
products. The o"crago inunrtations have been
10000 Gallons. OF olive oil in a year. and the
reduction OF this amour: with constantly IN.
cr"asinv american consumption will DO 10 the
benefit, it Is believed, OF the California farms.

A pitiful case of degradation through
the curse of drink was brought to light
in the case of Henry J. Hayden, a patent
attorney. charged in the police court today
with being an habitual topper. Hayden,
who is now man of fifty, comes OF an
excellent family. his father being J. j.
Hayden, formerly judge in Indiana, but
now a clerk in the Treasury Department
Hayden was bright and good lad until
on coming to his majority, he took to
drink Since then he has caused his aged
parent endless worry and trouble by his
escapades He has several times been
confined at the Washington Hospital for
the habit, but each time on coming out has
only begun anew On his last debauch
he was drunk for ten months consecutively.
Yesterday he was in the midst of one OF
his periodical sprees and wandered around
to his office, No. $40 F street northwest,
where he was arrested by Officer Royce.
He was locked up at the First precinct
over night, and, deprived of his stiInulants,
rapidly developed a very bad case of de-
lirIum tremens.
He was also seized with a severe hem
orrha ge, so that when his name was called
in the police court he was unable to
answer.
Accordingly Judge Kimball had him
committed to the Washington Hospital
and postponed his case until he shall be
able to answer it.

MASSACRED BY RED DEVILS
A Whole Family Butchered by
North Dakota Indians.
The Bodies, Horribly Mutilated,
Were Found Scattered Over the
Ranch of Rev. Thomas Spicer.

winona, \. D., Feb. 1S.-The bodies of
Rev. Thomas spicer and wife, their daugh
ter, Mrs. William Rouse, and her twin
boys, aged about one year. and Mrs Wal
droD, the aged mother of Postmaster Wal
Gron. Of this place, were foundon the Spicer
ranch today. All were horribly mutilated,
and the work is believed to have been
done by Indians from the Standing Rock
reservation. The bodies were found scat
tered all over the ranch, indicating that
the victims had fled from their assassins.
The condition of the bodies leads To the
belief that the work was done 10y Indians,
and the suspicion is strengthened by the
fact that one Indian was seen near the
ranch shortly after daylight yesterday The
bodies all bear marks OF clubs and knives,
weapons which tie Indians are known to
have in their possession.
The Standing Rock Reservation is but a
few miles west of here, and il is supposed
that party of Indians got away and in
famed by bad whisky, descended upon the
ranch in the night, and murdered all the
occupants The Indians could have COM

TRUTH ABOUT THE
PASSING OF CATARRH
INTO CONSUMPTION.

From Doctor NcCOy's Monograph on the
Extension or Catarrl 10 the Lungs.J
When Catarrh has existed in the head and
upper parts OF the throat for any length OF
time, the patient living in district where
people are subject TO Catarrhal affections.
and the disease has been left incurred, the
Catarri almost invariably extends from the
Throat down the windpi De and thence into

lows, and one so affected bTeathes with
difficulty. In other cases there are sounds
or cracking and wheeling inside the chest
At this period of the extension Of the dis
ease the breathing is usually more rapid
than it should be. There are frequently
felt hot flushes over the body.
When Catarrh Extends TO the Lungs.
TIE pain which accompanies this condl-
ton is OF dull Character, felt in the chest
behind the breaSt-bone. or else il is pres
ent under the Shoulder-blade The pain
may come and go, last few days. and then
be absent for several others. The cough
that occurs at this time is dry. comes on
at varying intervals. j. hacking in char
acteT, and Is usually II ost troublesome
IN the morning upon rising. or on going to
bed at night This peculiar character OF
the Cough Is often the first evidence that
Catarrhal disease is extending into the
lungs At first there may be nothing
brought Hp by the cough. then there will
be little tough, sticky mucus raised,
which the patient finds great difficulty
ia bringing up Sometimes there are fits
OF coughing so violent brought on BY the
efforts 20 diSlodge the tough mucUs, as 10
Cause vomiting Later ON tire mucuS that
IS raised may be found to contain par
ucles OF yellow matter and this proves
that the smaller lung tubes are beginning
TO be involved by the disease.
The Most Serious symptoms.
At this stage OF the trouble, in some
cases, there viii be found stTeaks OF
blood mixed with the mucuS that is
expelled BY the cough. In certain num-
her OF cases, at this stage OF the dis
ease, the one afflicted becomes pale and
has considerable fever every afternoon,
while in certain other cases a great zeal
OF mucHs may be raised or hawked I'D
before any cough is present In certain
other cases small masses OF CheeSy- ike
sutst anees are spit up, which. when
pressed between tine fingers emit a very
unpleasant OJiOr. This last is a very Sc
riOus symptom
In some cases CataTrh Will extend from
the Throat and into the Lungs in a very
few weeks; IN other cases it may Do
months and even years before the disease
passes from the Throat into the Lungs.
When the disease invades the Chest there
is almost sure to be more or less fever,
and this differs in severity at different
periods OF the day. 1t NAV be slight in
the morning and higher in the afternoon
and evening.

DOCTOR MCCOY ON THE
ATTITUDE HEALTH
BOARDS ARE TAKING,

The great number OF people in this
community and throughout the country,
many hundreds OF thousands in all, who
are wasting away and dying with con-
sumption, have been made the subject OF
special meetings Of the health boards OF
the different cities and towns.
When these bodies OF learned men say
that something must ne done TO check the
increasing ravages OF the disease, il is
perfectly safe for the people to lend their
assistance to the efforts OF these health
boards The only doctors who object to
the teaching and warning OF the boards of
health are those who think they have a
cure for consumption.
Doctor Mccoy has from time to time told
people that he has no cure for consumption
in its latter stages, and right now he is
willing and anxious to assist these health
boards in preventing the development OF
this disease.
