Don't Ruin That Plaza.

Eds. Record Union: In the report
Of the proceedings Of the City Board
Of Trustees, published in your paper
yesterday, 7 find the following para
graph:
Trustee Brown called attention to
the fact that tax of 2 cents had been
levied for the Improvement of the P
street Plaza. The river will raise, he
said, before the tax can be collected
and the sand can be hauled now much
cheaper than then. The time for SOW
ing grass Is also at hand, and he moved
that the work be started now and it
could be paid for after the taxes are
collected. Carried"
1t does not seem possible that the
City Trustees can be unaware of the
fact that the sediment carted from the
river is full Of Bermuda grass, or its
equivalent, alkali grass. To fill in the
square with that foul stuff would be
simply to ruin it,
Look at Capitol Park, bleached and
yellow, all through the winter months.
and all because the earth used for fill
ing the grounds east of Twelfth street
was brought from the river bottoms.
The blight has attacked the beautiful
blue grass lawns west Of Twelfth
street, and in a few seasons not a
blade Of green grass will be seen in all
that once beautiful park.
If any more parks are to be filed let
1t be with clean soil, not the foul debris
from the river beds. P STREET.

Same Grave.
Daniel Joseph Fitzgerald. an employe
at the railroad shops, died at his home
at Twenty-fifth and o streets yester-
day after an illness Of but four days.
1t was only on Sunday last that Mrs.
Fitzgerald passed away after a week s
suffering from an acute attack Of
pleuro-pneumonia. Her condition had
become SO much worse on Friday that
her husband was obliged to leave his
work and return to her bedside, and on
that same day he was stricken down.
The fact of his wife's death was kept
from him and all that medical skill
could accomplish was done to save his
life, but to no purpose
Husband and wife will be laid at rest
to-day in the same grave and their four
heart-broken children will be left to
the care of relatives and friends. The
joint funeral will take place from the
family residence at $50 a. M, services
being held in ST. Francis Church at 10
O'Clock, where requiem high mass will
be celebrated.
The members Of the Third Order OF
ST. Francis, of the st. Anne's and ST
Elizabeth's Altar Societies and of the
two Sodalities of the Children Of Mary
will attend the funeral.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzgerald were both
natives Of County Kerry, Ireland. The

MARKETS FOR OUR FRUITS.
THEY SHOULD BE GREATLY
EXTENDED.
Some Suggestions Advanced By
Secretary Fi1cher Of the State
Board Of Trade.

Secretary Lelong of the State Board
Of Horticulture recently addressed
letter to J. A. Filcher, Secretary ana
Manager of the California State Board
OF Trade, asking for suggestions on the
questions of increasing the consump-
ton of fruit products and the adVlsa-
bility of destroying infested fruit arrlv-
Ing in San Francisco.
Mr.. Filcher's reply, received yester-
day, and which is full of interest 10
horticulturists, is as follows:
San Francisco, Cal, October "A, 1895. :.
B. M. Lelong. Secretary state Board OF
Horticulture, Sacramento-Dear SH: l
have your favor of the 21st, calling my at
the next State Fruit-GroWers CONVEX
ton, and also asking for Suggestions oil
ton of our fruit products, and the az
visibility of destroying all infected frult
arriving in San Francisco. u,,o,,,a
AS to the last proposition, there snouIu
be no two opinions. If | could nave my
way I would favor stringent measures
for not only destroying all infected fruit
keting inferior fruit. 1t crowds OUT the
and for good mat material for ana all beside
standing as a blur on CALIFORNIA; repu-
tation for producing a good article
consumption there are just two Things 10
be done, and these are to solicit trade. in
the first place. and secondly, by cooking
and dispensing free samples to encourage
the taste for the product. To do this
thoroughly, intelligently and extensively
requires money, and a good deal OF IT,
and whenever the fruit,,growers can de-
for this purpose they will have little trou-
bic in putting the work into practical ef-
feet.
Manufacturers of other food products
dispense samples, solicit orders and es-
tablish agencies, employing good, I'VE.
active men for the purpose, and by this
means an immense trade has been built
up for commodities of only medium merit.
Manufacturers of Mellen's Food have TO-
day several hundred active agents push a
world, and the fact that they have built
up a trade amounting to many, millions
OF dollars per annum shows that they
have made this character of work profit
able. The same systematic work on be-
half of our California fruit products,
dried, canned and conserved. would start
the world to talking about them and the
worlds people to eating them, and the
worlds fruit buyers would become to
know US as great fruit producers and
