white on5s. One of the white mules was little mule and both SO far as
 the witness knew were branded alike RB on the left hip. A further cross examination brought out the startling
 statement that the little white mule
 was dead thereby corroborating q | theory which has been from the earli-
 est times regarded as fanciful and un- | true, that mule may be dead. The i importance of this matter may not be
 understood by the unthorghtful, not withstanding that when: little less | than a year ago a mule died a viO.ens death near place called Matanzas, in Cuba, all the newspapers in the civi- 1 lized world published accounts of ic and gave more credit to Admiral Sampson fer having accomplished the end of the mule, than the gallant rear admiral subsequently, received for the
 destruction of Csgvera's squadron.

Gilmore of the Yorktown. one of the fourteen men captured by the Fili- pinos, was appointed to the naval academy from Arizona He was born in Philadelphia and was proD2o-y never within the limits of this terri tory. He was, however, only one of many eXtra-territorial military and naval appoinUees who have been selected by territorial dei- egates.

 MORE GRAPES THIS YEAR. = George w. Gleason arrived at the Ford yesterday from Los Angeles. MT. Gleason said that one favorable effect of the recent rain would be the re- viVal of the raisin industry of Cali fol mia.
