AFTER wHARFINGER ROOT.
s. A. Hussey Claims He Has Been Soliciting for a Baggage Com
 DanV.

At a meeting of the Harbor Commis- sioners yesterday afternoon a complaint was filed by the Union Delivery Com pany, charging Chief Wharfinger G. w. Root. with being a member of the San Francisco Transfer Company, and while performing his duties as wharffnger he has at the same time been soliciting bag gage, freight, etc, for the transfer com pany. Roots connection with this com pany will be the means, it is contended, of gaining nearly all the business of the different shipping companies, as they will undoubtedly be influenced by his posi- ton.
 The San Francisco Transfer Company was organized about the 1st of last month and the nominal owners of the company are George Grunewald, A. ": Johnson, Lemuel Lucas and James Gaffeny It is claimed that Root and Hayes are the principal men in the organization
 Root denies emphaticaIly that he has ever solicited business for the transfer company during the hours he was sup posed. to be performing his duties as wharfnger and claims that whatever trade was negotiated was done after the performance of his official work

WEDDING TOUR
 OF THE PULLMANS
Walter Sanger and His Bride Leave for Del
 Monte.
The Town Gossips Declare That the Lady in the Case Is All of
 Thirty Two.

The PullmanWest wedding caused a good deal of talk in the town yesterday. The couple stopped at the Palace Hotel night before last and left the city for Del Monte yesterday afternoon. The bride did some shopping previous to her depar- ture and the groom received the congrat- ulations of his chums
 The marriage license procured in Oak land gave the age of Louisa Lander West as "A years, but acquaintances of the fam fly who formerly attended dances at Lunt's Academy with the West young ladies say that the bride is 32 years old.
 Annette West, who married Hugh Me Donnell, the rich mining man. and Louisa. who was married to MT. Pullman. lived many years ago on Sacramento street. The young ladies were well known to a large circle of friends. Annette at one time held a position in the School Depart ment as a teacher in the evening schools. They were regarded as intelligent. hand some and ambitious, but did not figure to any extent in society.
 What action the Pullman family will take can only be conjectured. The bride no doubt, is intellectually the superior of her husband, and may develop the young mans character on the lines which the late George M. Pullman hoped for deveJ- opment. The little disparity of age may turn out to the advantage of the infatu- ated twin.

which are suggestive. The valuation
of the real and personal property OF
the Islands is placed at S13,504, S31.OO
for the year 1897. The paid up CAPT.,
tai of corporations amounts to $27,754,-
900. The population of the Islands is
los, 02O.
The population of Vermont was, by
the last census, 101 ,697 The assessed
valuation of property, real and person
al in the State was $S6,S06,755. The
total Indebtedness was $3,7S3,37S.
The population of Oregon, by the
last census was 111,744 which closely
approximates to the population of the
Islands. The assessed valuation of all
property was 52,522,OS4. The total in
debtedness, including County and Mum
icfpal indebtedness, was STATS, $50.
In the comparison of population, as
sessed values and Indebtedness, &C
count must be taken of the fact that
the people of the two American States
are nearly all white, and of Anglo
Saxon origin, and the wealth is more
evenly distributed than it is here. No
valuable comparison can be made, un-
til the Asiatic population, to the ex-
tent, perhaps, of forty thousand Is
eliminated.
If the property of the Asiatics is to
be regarded as a factor in our nation
al growth, then their force as poll
teal factor must be regarded as
equally important in the near future

A HOME FOR INCURABLEs.

The very generous proposition OF
Mr.. T. II. Davies to erect under GER
tain conditions a Home for Incurables,
as a memorial of the Diamond Jubilee,
is a serious matter. Mr.. Davies clearly
suggests some objections. The trouble
will be that incurabIes will come here,
who could not be entitled to enter the
Home What would be done with
such? That question, in different
form, is before us now. Rev. Mr.. Mack
intosh knows much about it. We all
recognize the great need of such
Home. But the other question con-
fronts us, and must be met. Our ISL
ands are in danger of becoming a
great hospital, just as the Southern
part of California is becoming so, to
the alarm of the inhabitants.
OF course, we would not, if we could,
prevent any of Gods creatures from
obtaining relief from physical suffering
here. We would take certain risks of
disease before doing so. But now is
the time to think out and adopt some
broad, just and practical plan for meet
ing the stress that is now, and soon
will increase upon us, by reason OF
our climate. Just so long as human
beings are recklessly brought into the
world, without the slightest idea Of
responsibility for their inherited de-
fects. physical ana mental, just so
long will the charity of every COM
munity be taxed to care for some Of
them. The rapid increase of population
in America, yearly increases the num-
Der of those who, without fault, can
not take care of themselves. They will
naturally seek this genial climate. But
the community, as an organization,
should handle the matter intelligently.
It's charities are taxed heavily now.
The cities of Southern California are
becoming concerned about the increase
of helpless invalids, who settle and
take their chances of obtaining work.
This comparatively small community
must arrange some method of dealing
with such cases, so as to protect itself,
and at the same time do its work of
charity

Milking Time


Twice each day, a times each week,
our cows are driven from the field to
the stable during pasture season and
MIXED, each COW tied in her own stall
and fed a supplementary ration of
grain, but not balanced one except
that ii aids digestion and assimilation
with pasture consumed during the day.
This grain ration is made up largely of
bran, with 25 per cent of chop added.
We do not feed grain for the purpose of
quieting our cows, but for the specific
purpose of obtaining revenue, and al
ways feel that it pays to do it in such
degree as good Judgment permits. Our
cows are driven quietly to and from
field, which is not far, nor should it be
distant. We saw man go one mile to a
rented pasture to milk. This was on
the right side of economy as against
driving cows the distance to and from
pasture. We fear some of our dairymen
are not sufficiently careful during the
summer in caring for stables, keeping
them clearly and removing daily some
of the products that soon produce moi
some odors. Everything should be kept
absolutely clean and every stain busted
with gypsum or what is almost as good,
common road dust. George E. Scott in

Butter, Cream or Cheesee

In these times of close competition in
dairying, to be master in his business,
one must know how much milk will
yield made up into various products
when their market prices are such as to
warrant diversity When milk testing
4 per cent sells for cents quart and
skimmilk issworth 90 cents per 100
pounds for feeding, it is bringing the
equivalent of 40 cents per pound for
butter. One hundred pounds of milk
testing per cent fat would yield, on
the average, A. pounds of butter. In
100 pounds of milk there are about 40
quarts. This sold at cents per quart
would bring 50, and taking out 90
cents, price of skimmilk if butter were
made, we see that Al pounds of butter
must sell for $3.50, or 40 cents per
pound. In similar way we see that 16
cents per quart for cream testing 90
per cent fat is the equivalent of 80. 8
cents for butter. The yield of butter is
estimated in many creameries by add
ing one-eighth to the butter fat, the
yield of green cheese by multiplying
the fat by 81 and that of cured cheese
by multiplying by 2.6. This estimate
is based upon milk containing about
8. z per cent fat, however, and the richer
the milk the greater the yield from a
given amount. A hundred pounds of
milk testing per cent fat will yield
about As pounds of butter or 1913
pounds of cheese. If it costs 3 cents per
pound to make the butter and u cents
per pound to make cheese. Is cents per
pound for butter will be the equivalent
of 7.6 cents per pound for cheese. Such
problems as the above the up to date
creamery man must solve readily, and
then turn his milk into the most profit
able channel. III. Hayward of Pennsyl-
vania Experiment Station.

Pianist. Practice Too Much.

"While studying with Rubinstein,
Josef Holman practiced three hours a
day, writes Mary B. Mullett of the
famous pianist in The Ladies' Home
Journal. "He believes that most stu
dents make the mistake of overpraetio-
ing. When he came to this country the
first time, he was practicing an hour q
day. For two years after his return tc
Germany he practiced two hours day.
During the next two years he averaged
four hours daily, and after that, until
he went to Rubinstein, six hours daily.
This he regards as excessive.
Ones mind grows stupid and con-
fused, Hofmann says, and ones fingers
follow the confusion of the brain An.

they use too much force in practicing.
