yielding orchards are. The only way to
make the business pay would be to
grow your own orchard. This is a mat
ter OF about five years. The first thing
is to clear the ground by cutting down
everything and burning 1t. Next ba-
nanas are set out about ten feet apart
IN order that they may grow up and
shade the young cocoa trees. Between
each two bananas a hill Of cocoa beans
is planted, so that the hills are about
ten feet apart. Three beans are put in
each hill They soon sprout. At first
they look like little orange trees.
They grow rapidly and at three years
they begin to produce fruit. After once

is to keep down the underbrush and

up. Such a thing as hoeing and plow-

her anguish or her sincerity. The de.
lirium of a broken heart cannot be
simulated. And this heart was not
controlled by reason; that was equally
apparent to any one who could see.
Immediately my heart, which goes out
account, was touched by something
more than the surface sympathy Of the
moment. She may have stolen, she
may have done worse, she may even
have been at the bottom Of the horrible
crimes which have given its name to
the lane we were in, but her acts, If
acts they were, were the result Of
clouded mind fixed forever upon the
fancied needs Of another and not the
expression Of personal turpitude or
even Of personal longing or avarice.
Therefore could pity her, and did.
Making another appeal, I pressed the
coin hard into one Of her hands till the
contact effected what my words had
been unable to do, and she finally look

nothing more than a fitting shadow to

about twenty odd years ago at cost
Of $1.000.000, and there are a number

I have visited number of coffee

A man was seen, running away from her, but the people were too much interested in her case to give any attention to him, and he escaped.
 Mrs. Eehringer hurried up to the Ger tral police station and complained that she had been robbed of her handbook with the iitbernia Bank. She said she and Ter husband had been having trouble and they were living apart They had money deposited in the bank in their joint names and she retained possession of the bank book.
 She was on her way to the bank when a friend of her husband named Bulger, a saloon keeper in Butchertown, met her near the bank and snatched the book out of her hand. She screamed, and he ran away. Then she tainted.
 She was escorted to Judge Joachimsen s court, where she swore to a complaint charging Eulger with grand larceny.

THE WOMAN AS
 A MINSTREL
A Burnt Cork Performance to Be Given at Native Sons
 Hall.
The Novelty of the A flair Is Attract. irg the Attention of Tn eater
 GOers.

The latest novelty in the way of enter tainment is being prompted by philan- thropical women, who, although Cauca- sians, and of high social standing. will cover their beauty and their dimples, put putty over their eyes and rouge on tbeir lbs that they may be better fitted to shake the hand of Belinda Jones and Parson Johnson at the minstrel show this evening on the stage of the Native Sons Hall ln aid of St Patrick's grand bazaar
 This will mark the first time in the recorded history of the city when women have undertaken to shine as lend men, and draw up in the ancient semicircle to address the inimitable converse tional- ist. known as the interlocutor, for the edificatton and amusement of an audi ence.
 The object of the performance. although Tor charity, is a peculiarly novel one, and Tor this reason alone will attract hun dreds through curiosity to the show
 The mfnStrelS will be under the ans pices of the ladies of the Golden West booth of St. Patrick's bazaar and under the immediate direction of T.. Eggert, the popular and well-known minstrel man ager.
 Jack Cathcart and B. F. Hanlon. made familiar to the tiS:atergo going public by the appearance 6f their names upon minstrel programmes in the past, have volunteered their services to instruct the ladies and initiate them into the myster- ies of burnt cork and artificial wigs. and will do all in their power to help attain the noble object upon which the enter tainment and the bazaar itself is based
 This purpose is to remodel the tottering edihce on Mission street, one of the oldest churches in the city, and by repairs and the necessary improven1 n1ents, put it in a condition of decency which it justly de- serves
 The final dress rehearsal was given last evening in the hall on Mason street. and in. every detail proved a success, the jokes being given smoothly and evenly and the specialtes being acted with con siderable ability.
 The minstrel troop consists of the fol- lowing artists:
 Interlocutor. Miss Aggie Hoyne: tam nie, Mamie Sheehan and Annie Oakes: bones, Misses Jessie Finnie, TNittie Nc.

Miss Helen Kelleher to Lecture on California
 in the East.
One Hundred Principal Cities to Be Visited Under Auspices
 of Southern Pacific.
With the Assistance of State Board of Trade end Other Leading
 Trade Bodies.

The brilliant success which attended the illustrated lectures entitled, Pic turesque California" and Semi -Tropic California" given by Miss Helen Kel- leher throughout California, Oregon. Washington and British Columbia dur ing the past year has suggested to Gen- eral Passenger Age:-t Goodman of the Southern Pacific Company the advisa- bility of making similar arrangements to present the many attr; ,tiona of our Golden State to people of the Western, Middle and Eastern States in a manner and under such auspices as no other similar exhibition has ever been con- ducted.
 The plan as adopted provides for Miss Kelleher delivering her new lec- ture on California in 100 of the princi- pal cities of the United States included in the territory above mentioned dur ing the months of May, June, July, Au- gust and September next, to be given under the auspices of the most inhuen- tial religious, social and charitable or ganizations of the cities to be visited.
 With a view of insuring the best pos Sible results arrangements have been made with MT. O. V. Eaton, formerly assistant registrar at Stanford Univer- Slty, to act as advance representa- tive, canvass the different cities and enter into agreements with such organizations as would best give tone and prestige to the enterprise. MT. Eaton started on his mission two weeks ago and has al- ready made some valuable connections, notably that at Salt Lake City with the Mutual Improvement League, which has obtained a special dispensation from the church authorities to use the Mormon Tabernacle, and the sale of 1000 tickets for this occasion is already assured.
 This is no ordinary stereopticon exhi- bition, as Miss Kelleher ranks with the best lecturers of the day and in addi- tion to that qualification she is also an elocuuoniSt and an entertainer of high standing. The collection of slides which will be used on this occasion is the most complete and the best that has ever been gathered together They are all artistically colored and such as have heretofore been used in Miss Kelleher's s lectures have excited great admiration.
 The dissolving view electric stereopti- con, which will be used, is the largest and most powerful made, reproducing scenes surprisingly true to nature. Mr George w. Reinherdt, recently grad uated from the University of California will act as stereoptician on this trans continental featuring tour.
 The very favorable conditions under which this enterprise will be conducted and fostered cannot fail to interest the best people of the East, and by thus presenting the many attractions and particularly the resort features of our great State the tourist and pleasure travel to California should be largely augmented.
 To the Southern Pacific Company. the State Board of Trade, Manufactu- rers' and Producers Association, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and others belong the credit of inaugural ing this most worthy enterprise.
