 OF FRUIT GROWERS
Convention at Riverside Addressed
 by A. R. sprague of Los
Angeles

RIVERSIDE. April 15.-The second days session of the State Fruit-Growers' Convention proved, if anything, more in- teresting than that of Thursday. The first address, delivered by w. c. Fuller os Colton. gave his experience in citrus fruit growing and his ideas of the best varie- ties of oranges to plant. Several mem bers took part in the general discussion which followed, on the advisability of pruning. and the consensus of opinion favored reasonable cutting away of trees
 A. R. Sprague of Los Angeles introduced the subject of marketing decduous fruits. He earnestly advocated co-opera- ton. He found the apathy of fruit-grow- CTS great at the present time, owing to frost and drought. The output of or chards was increasing rapidly. and new markets must be secured. This could best be accomplished by united action The matter of overproduction created earnest discussion and the delegates were divided. Many advocated the idea that a limit of profitable fruit growing had about been reached.
 A resolution was passed condennfnc, the Barlow quarantine bill.

The truth. Weak as you are, you still hope against hope that you are going to get well without trying to help yourself. The day of mira cIes has passed. You will never get well until you try. The nerves that you have are not worthy the name. The maniiness you possess is almost none. The confi- dence you have in your own abilities is less than nothing. Why is this true :? You have been indiscreet-worked too hard, perhaps. Try to alter matters to-day.

Ambrose Ham.s Account.

SCHENECTADY. N. Y, Feb. 25.-The
Schenectady boy, Ambrose Ham, who
was on board the Maine when she was
blown up at Havana, has written to
his father. Young Ham, who was an
apprentice, was on watch when the ex-
plosion occurred and in his letter says:
Three bells, or $780, sounded and
nothing occurred TO warn us OF the
accident soon to happen. About 20
minutes TO 10 I was standing at the
break OF the poop and was going to
turn around to walk earther aft when
/ saw a fash of light or fire which
seemed to envelop the whole ship: then
/ heard a report. and 1 was hit with a
piece Of iron on the left side OF my face.
Then a second report, longer and more
terrible than the first, occurred, and the
big ship was lifted out Of the water and
fel back again q mass Of broken and
tangled steel-that is, the forward part
OF the ship. Fifty feet from the stern
forward was not touched. When she
settled back into the water she began
to sink. When I recovered from the
shock I ran aft to the captains boat
and helped TO lower It. and we picked
up q lot Of men that were in the water"
Ham expresses the opinion that the
disaster was caused by the same people
I'm Havana who melted the riots several
weeks ago.
