FRUIT PESTS IN THE MAILS.
EFFORTS TO PREVENT THEIR
IMPORTATION.
Recent Correspondence With the
Secretary Of Agriculture ON
the Subject.

The recent State Horticultural con-
vention held in this city, realizing that
great danger existed to the fruit indus
tries by the Introduction Of scale-in-
tested plants and cuttings brought
through the mails, adopted a set of res
olutions and ordered that they be for
warded to the Secretary of Agriculture,
requesting that steps be taken for
quarantining against such importa-
tons into the State.
On the Goth of January, Secretary
Lelong Of the State Board of Horticul-
riculture the resolutions embodied in a
communication, as follows:
Hon. James Wilson, Secretary De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
d. C.-Dear Sir: have the honor of
transmitting to you for your kind con-
sideration, the following resolution
adopted by the fruitgrowers of Cali
fornia. in convention assembled at Sac
ramento, CAL, November II, 1897, to
wit:
Whereas, There is danger of i'm
porting into California injurious in
sects on small plants through the mails;
and
Whereas, Futile efforts have been
made to induce the Postoffice Depart
ment to allow an inspection of these
parcels before delivery; therefore, be il
Resolved, That this convention of
fruit growers request the Secretary Of
Agriculture, Hon. James Wilson, to
confer with the Postmaster General and
request him to issue regulations which
will give the Horticultural Commission
ers power to inspect all parcels con-
tanning plants sent into this State
through the mails. Respectfully yours,
"B NJ. LELONG, Secretary
There is now before Congress a bill
requiring certificates Of healthfulness
and freedom from insects for all i'm
ported trees, plants, etc, and from the
reply of Secretary Wilson to the COM
munication of Secretary Lelong, it IS
evident that he has been confused be-
tween the resolutions and the bill now
pending, and has taken it for granted
that the resolutions and the bill apply
to one and the same thing. The re-
ply of Secretary Wilson is as follows,
under date of January 26th:
Mr.. B. NJ. Lelong, Secretary State
Board of Horticulture, Sacramento, Cal.
Dear Sir: Your letter regarding the
inspection of mail packages of plants
suspected to carry injurious insects, is
received
Representatives of the horticultural
interests have recently visited this de-
partment. and in their opinion we
should have legislation requiring GER
tificates of healthfuness and freedom
from insects to be produced at ports
of entry on importations of foreign
trees, plants, etc. They are opposed to
examination Of packages, even by
agents of this department. I concur in
this view of the matter, and shall do
what l can to further the cause. Re-
spectfully, JAMES WILSON,
Secretary.
Secretary Lelong will reply to the
letter of the Secretary Of Agriculture at
an early date, and will make plain the
difference between the quarantine reg
ulations of the bill and the inspection
demanded in the resolutions.

HUMANE SOCIETY,
Annual Meeting and Election Of
Directors Last Night.

The annual meeting of the Humane
Society was held last evening at GA K
street for the election of officers and the
transaction of routine business.
The Secretary's report showed that
during the month of January fifteen
cases of cruelty were investigated. No
arrests made, as the society's officers
secured promises that there would be no
repetition of the offense. While the So
ciety proposes to act firmly in these
cases, it avoids prosecuting Offenders
when possible.
Three incurable horses We're killed
during the month by order of the So
ciety.
The following named directors were
chosen: George II. Smith PresidenD,
Daniel Flint, Daniel Healy, Henry
Miller, Isador Schad, James O'Neill and
j. \. PAYNE.
The society is doing noble work in
defense of dumb beasts and deserves
the encouragement and support of the

WORDEN'S LATEST RPRIEvEE
AGAIN OUT OF THE SHADOW OF
THE GALLoWs.
Execution Again Put OF in Order
That His Mental Condition May
be Inquired Into.

Salter d. Worden, the Yolo train
wrecker, will not be hanged just yet.
There was yesterday spread upon the
records in the Governors office the lat
est reprieve in his case While the
Governor some time ago declared his
intention to again reprieve Worden, the
document giving all the reasons for lis
issuance is Of considerable interest.
The reprieve starts in by reciting
that in the month of October 1894, at
a regular session of the Superior Court
of Yolo County, Worden was tried and
convicted of the crime of murder and
sentenced to be executed on the 18th
day of February, 1895; that the case
was appealed to the Supreme Court Of
the State Where the judgment of the
lower court was affirmed, and Worden
was resentenced to be executed on the
18th day of December 1896; that on
December q, 1896. he was reprieved
until June 4, 1897; on June 4th was re-
prieved until July Sth of the same year;
on July 9TH was reprieved until Ocro-
Der 10th; on October 4th was reprieved
until November 10Th, and on November
10Th was reprieved until February IL,
1898.
After recounting the foregoing Facts,
the reprieve proceeds as follows:
And, whtreas, a large number of
organizations and citizens of this State
and Of the United States have petition
ed me, asking that l commute the sem
tence OF death heretofore imposed upon
said S. D. Worden, and
Whereas, This request has also been
made by many prominent State and
Federal officials occupying exalted ju-
dicial and legislative positions. and by
the Hon. Grover Cleveland. former
President of tht United States and,
Whereas, This request is chiefly
based upon a claim that the said Wor-
den IS and was mentally unsound and
not fully responsible for his acts: and.
Whereas, For the purpose of enap-
ling me to determine this fact. l have
heretofore referred this question to Frs
Gardner, Hatch and Clark for exam
nation and investigation, with q re-
quest that they report to me their
opinion as to his sanity or moral re-
sponsibility, and having been asked for
an extension Of time within which to
correct and conclude this examina ton
and 10 make the report requested:
Now, therefore, by virtue of the au-
thority in me vested by the Constitu-
ton and laws of this State, I, James H.
Budd, Governor of the State of Cali
fornia, do hereby repreve the sentence
OF the said S. d. Worden to and until
the 18th day of June, A D. 1898. at
which time said sentence shall be exc
cuted unless otherwise ordered"

MILK AND FOOD INSPECTOR.
BOARD OF HEALTH WANTS THE
OFFICE CREATED.
An Ordinance That Will be Sub
United to the City Board
Of Trustees.

The called meeting of the City Board
of Health held last evening for the
purpose of agreeing upon an ordinance
to present to the City Board of Trus
tees. providing for the creation of the
position of Milk Inspector, was attend
ed by all the members.
City Physician Nichols presented a
number of drafts of proposed ordi-
nances for the consideration of the
board, and called attention to the one
now in force, intended to prohibit the
sale of unwholesome meat, which, he
explained, was rendered useless from
the fact that it provided for no inspec-
tor The ordinance in question was
adopted in June, 1896.
1t was decided to denominate the
proposed office that of Milk, Food and
Market Inspector, and to this Dr. Fay
suggested be added that Of Sanitary In
spector, combining the two positions.
DIR. Huntington said the present San
itary Inspector is the most overwork-
ed of any city official, and that he was
constantly on the go.
DR.. Nichols said # the Sanitary In
spector spent every moment Of his time
in attending to his duties there would
still be left plenty to do that he could
not reach
DR.. Fay thought that the office ought
to be combined and that the Chief In
spector ought to be allowed one or more
assistants, as the case should demand
He was, however. willing to agree to
the ordinance which the other members
thought would meet the necessities Of
the case.
The ordinance, as read and agreed to,
was as follows:
Section 1.-The office Of Milk, Food
and Market Inspector, in and for the
City of Sacramento, is hereby created;
and it shall be the duty of the Board
