critical condition OF public opinion. but

been steadily spreading since President
Gutierrez recently sent 10 Guatemala TO

during the SNcent revolution. In ire
event OF an uprising the prime mover will
probably be General Tomas Regaldo. VINO
hlrterly opposes the rule OF President
GutterreE, and who Is regarded as a
candidate for the presidency next time.
General Regaido was dismissed from the
army OF Salvador for aiding General Cas-
THO to cross the frontier into Guatemala
and capture Chiquimula.
Another cause for discontent Is that
owing to the depleted condition OF the
treasury the president has been compelled
TO suspend many snecure offices and
place certain officers on half pay. These
have become enemies of the government

Experime ental Slaughter in Two Vineyards of
 Fresno.
Sulphuric Acid and Cyanide of Potassium Does the
 Good Work.
Commissioner Rose Discovers a Prep aration for Which a Reward
 Is Offered.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 FRESNO, Feb. Al. Rose, the Hor- ticultural Commissioner for Sanger dis trict, believes that he has discovered preparation which will kill the de- structive thrips or vine hoppers, which played havoc with the vineyards last season and threatened to work great injury the coming season.
 MT. Rose experimented yesterday with his preparation at Alex Gordon's and pr. Estlemans vineyards, and both the owners of those places ex- pressed themselves as being perfectly satisfied that at last something had been found which means death to the hopper. The preparation Is not a new one, being composed of equal parts of sulphuric acid and cyanide of potas- sium, and is the same that Is used on the orange trees in Southern California for the red and purple scale. Almost every known insecticide had been tried for the hoppers, but all of them failed. At last MT. Rose thought to try the preparation on the thrips and it is the only thing that has proved successful.
 The preparation can be used now and also in milder form when the Vines begin to leaf. MT. Rose recommends its application at night, for then the pests take to the vines. The mixture is made right under the vine, and in two minutes the pests are dead. The sulphuric acid is placed in an iron yes sel and the cyanide of potassium put in. The vine stump is immediately covered with a barrel or canvas tent in order to prevent the escape of the fumes.
 MT. Rose will claim the $500 reward which was offered at the State Fruit Growers Convention at Sacramento for preparation that would kill the thrip. Alex Gordon offered $500 and s200 was offered by another prominent grower. The commissioner will donate the money to the Methodist church at Sanger.
 Alex Gordon was asked last night by The Call correspondent what he thought of the preparation, and he said: There is no doubt in the world but 1t kills those vine hoppers. It's the only thing in the world that will do it except an ax or club. It is the first successful experiment I ever saw. It even kills those under the old leaves. After the experiment which was made at my place every one of the thrips was dead It is worthy of a great deal of consideration, and will be boon to the vineyardists. It will be rather expen- sfve, but expense is not a question with the vineyardists when their whole crop is in danger of destruction"

GOLDEN GATE UNION.
Rev. J. A. B. Wilson Says Word for
 Woman Suffrage

The eleventh annual convention of the Golden Gate Union was held in Olivet Presbyterian Church Thursday night. The meeting was well attended and much en- thusiasm was manifested by the members and visitors present.
 The convention was opened with {. song service, led by Charles D. Reid followed with prayer by Rev. D. ". Chilson and a song by the double male quartet of Olivet Church. Reports of the secretary and treasurer were then read, which showed that the past years work of the Endeavorers was one to be proud of.
 The address of the evening was made by the Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, pastor of Howard Methodist Episcopal Church, who spoke on Christian Citizenship' '' The true burden of his eXhortation was he, mo country can come to it's best with it's best citizenship disfranchised. We of to-day are triffe too conservative and are wont to follow in the beaten path of ancestors. When the fathers of our coun- try formulated the Constitution without conferring the privilege of citizenship upon women they were simply acting on precedent, and passing generations have but blindly followed them. When we real iZe that only one out of every ten crimi- nals are women it is time for us to cast aside Wornout precedent and give them a say in the administration of the affairs of State.'
 for the ensuing year: J. s. Allen, presi- dent; George B. McDougall first vice. president; Miss Gardiner, second vice president; ". P. Clark, treasurer, Miss Hetta l.: Reynolds, corresponding secre- tary; Miss Partridge, recording socre- tary Miss Myrtle Simpson, superiTtend- ent junior work; Miss Georgia McLennan assistant superintendent junior work.

Berkeley News Notes.
This Weeks Wasp.

Reverend" c. O. Brown is the subject of some very plain talk in this weeks edition of the Wasp. and almost every one will find in that papers treatment of the ex-minister's conduct something of interest. In the ''X Ray column, as usual, some enterprising fakers find their modus operandi laid bare, and the per- sonalities teem with the newest gossip of the smart set. The theatrical and mu- sical criticisms are entertaining and far ahead of those of any other weekly pa per, while the vigorous editorials will be relished by every thoughtful reader There are, of course, numbers of pictures in the Wasp, a whole page of half-tones being devoted to the school children's parade at Golden Gate Park. The center page colored print cartoon deals with the Oriental situation, and Chairman Afford of the Democratic State Central Commit tee and Insurance Commissioner Clunie furnish subjects for two more exceeding clever cartoons. Altogether the Wasp this week has much in it that will inter- est almost any class of readers.
