The American consul at Nicaraguar re-
ports that experiments are being made
there to develop an industry of evap-
Grating bananas, and that a trial ship
ment has been made to this country.
If successfully established, this indus.
try will be of the utmost importance
to many Central American states. The
men engaged in the experiment, ac,
cording to consular reports, have no
practical knowledge of the business of
drying the fruit, but if it was taken up
by men experienced in the manufac-
ture of machinery and appliances
adapted to the evaporation of fruits,
a modification to suit this case could
easily be devised, and there would be
an immense demand for such machines
Immediately. At present there are
millions of bananas yearly thrown
away or allowed to rot on the ground
because they are too small or too rips
for shipment to the United States.

TO SPREAD CRIME.
The Purpose of Russian Organization
Just Formed.

Russia, according to the latest ad-
vices received in this country, does
not seem a particularly enviable place.
Not only are religious fanatics at large
in ever-increasing numbers, who are
committing extraordinary havoc among
the simple peasants, breaking up
homes and causing people to commit
suicide with the idea of escaping tyr
amy, but n gigantic criminal assocla-
tion is also growing aud spreading and
making eruptlons between the peas
ants and mobiles.
The association is In reality society
for perpetrating crime. Its avowed
object is n reign of terror, but 1t is
more fierce and more terrible In its
purpose than the usual societies of an
archists. The rlngleaders hope to
make law and order futile by filling
the land with criminals.
The doctrine is said to be spreading
with almost incredible rapldlty among
the narrow-minded natives of Russia.
The success Of the society surpasses
that of any fanatlcal Institution ever
before founded in the country. Al
ready the members of the criminal as
sOciation are numbered in thousands
A short time ago the bodies of three
workmen, good, honest, law-abiding
peasants, were discovered by the po-
lice in a deep well near Palmero. The
most stringent investigations brought
20 HsrBF f..t
police at length arrived at the conclu-
sion that the men had been murdered
solely for the reason that they We're
well known as honest labOrers, who
feared the police and loved their Car.
This set the minds of the astute Pc
tersburg detectives upon new track.
They followed up every clew that
might lead to the detection of a So
ciety whose object was the perpetra-
tion Of crime Their efforts were Who'll
ly successful.
The reason of some forty murders.
for which hitherto no object had been
discovered and which seemed 10 be
enveloped in an impenetrable mystery
was brought to light; the murders
were ascribed to the dangerous society
which had risen. The authorities are
now in possession of much useful in
formation, and by means OF this they
hope to capture fully 100 malefactors,
including the rlngleaders.
The Society for the Preparation of
Crime, however, has already taken
deep root among the peasants, al
though there is no doubt that in time
the rising will be stamped out. MS
many hundreds of other Russian rls-
ings have been before. When the
indicators are punished as they de
serve, the fear of the law will again
assert itself in the minds of these mad
revolutionlsts.

The Ladies' Aid Society.

The Ladies' Aid Society met at the
home of Mrs. Thwing Thursday after
noon. They discussed things in general
and especially the Second avenue side
walk theme, subject with them of
considerable moment. The failure to
have public meeting last Wednesday
evening after it was so earnestly
requested has aroused their just ire,
and the ears of mankind in general and
owners of unsafe sidewalks in particular
must have tingled and burned to an ex-
tent beyond conception. "Why the
very idea of their not wanting to even
boss the job" "They're too ashamed
of themselves to show up last night"
''They would probably consider it q
huge joke, and stand by with their
hands in their pockets and laugh, if we
were to try to drive those nails our
selvesln' $50 many idle men in town,
too, SO now" Were a few of the bitter
remarks we dreamed were said by the
justly indignant circle.
Mrs, Roundtree was elected secretary
filling the vacancy caused by the resig-
nasion of Mrs. DR.. Campbell.

Who Would Have Guessed 1t?

The long looked for first of Septem-
Der arrived and with it Case & Wilson g
we'll advertised bean guessing for the
handsome and unique, native made
center table. Each dollars worth of
goods bought entitled the purchaser to
a guess as to the number of beans con-
tanned in the sealed jar. Squire Inger-
sol and Editor McKeand were appointed
to do the counting, which was done in
a dignified and cautious manner, each
bean being carefully separated from its
fellows and the zephrys surrounding it.,
until 1776 dainty white beans were
stacked up on the counter.
The nearest and successful guess was
1855 made by Mrs. Scully.
The next nearest, 1898, was by the
Blue Front restaurant.
The highest guess was 1000 and the
lowest 300.
The committee was allowed to divide
the beans for their trouble.

A Delightful Time.

The river steamer Mono after o most
thorough Quitting and overhauling
and looking pretty as picture made
her initial bow to Wrangel by inviting
number of its citizens to make trial
trip to Bushy island, the scene of her
former wreck. 1t was merry crowd
that accepted the invitation and mer.
rier one that returned.
Captain Armstrong assisted by Mr.. S.
Barber and Walter Gray are ideal
hosts and every thing was done to rem
der the occ aston memorable one.
After pleasant trip Of some fifteen
miles the weather becoming fogy it was
deemed advisable to return, which was
dore, and after three hours of most
delightful time the guests were landed
on the dock full of gratitude to the cap
tain and the steward.

THE MELBA ENGAGEMENT
Promises to Be a Musical Triumph.
Seats Going Rapidly

The praises of Melba are being sounded
in every quarter and the indications are
that she will be given more enthusiastic
welcome than was ever before accorded a
vocal artist in this city, not excepting the
great Patti. This Is as it should be, for
Melba Is the peer of any songstress the
world has yet produced, and to do her
homage should be the aim of every devotce
of music on the Pacific coast. She comes
here fresh from her unparalleled triumphs
in the east and San Francisco, and her re-
ception will no doubt be as hearty AMI
sincere as her most ardent admirers could
desire. The tickets are now on sale at the
box Office at the Los Angeles theater, and
are going at rate that threatens to leave
EO vacant seat in the house on the night of
the opening. After this evening all seats
not called for will be subject to purchase.
as already advertised. All tickets reading
Hazards pavilion should be changed at
once. The program for the opening night
includes the entire opera Of 1.-THE Barber
of Seville" and the mad scene from
Lucia On Wednesday evening will be
presented the entire opera of La Travi-
ata." Manager Strine arrived in Los An
geles last evening and reports every seat
sold for tonight's performance at the Cal
lighted at the fine sale in this city and
promises us the grandest feast of opera
ever given in this city.

what do you do with them?'
"The big piles Of fine potatoes you see
over there give to the landlord as land
rent for the privilege of living on the earth
next to the biggest pile l give to the money
lord as interest for the privilege of using
the tools that some other workman made
the third pile l give to the politicians as
tax, and the little ones I give to the hogs
and what the hogs don't eat eat myself
So you see, between the landlord, the
money lord, the politicians and the othe

But what do you. do with the hogs?"
II give them to the railroad company fo
hauling the big potatoes to the land ant
money lords."-Appeal to Reason.
