A QUEER CRADLE.

How Some Fish Care for their Young.
In the Nile there is n singular fish
that has been known from early Bible
times. 1t Is dedicated to the apostle
Simon or Peter. and is known rs tia
pia siminis. and is especially common
in Palestine and the sea or lake of
Tibcrius.
Nearly all OF these fishes have a sin
gular method of caring for their young.
At the time OF spawning the mother
fish forms a little nest among the reeds
and PUSHES, in which she deposits per-
haps two hundred green eggs, about
the size of shot, which She Immediately
deserts.
Curiously enough.in all the thousands
of fishes, but three or four Instances
are known where the mother displays
any affection for her young or re-
mains by them.
The father stations himself by the
nest, and presently appears to be dining
upon the eggs: but If he Is carefully
watched it Will be seen that he is TAX
ing them into his mouth with the
greatest care. and not swallowing them.
They are lodged in what corresponds
with the cheeks. and held there.
The eggs soon hatch. the little
fishes grow and the countenancc OF
Mr.. Hilapia becomes greatly swollen
ana HuIeU out OF all resemblance 10
his former self. He cannot begin to
close his mouth and presents n most
extraordinary appearance.
To accommodate and protect the
growing family the fish submits to the
greatest Inconvenience. and only per-
mits them to escape when it is n physi-
cal impossbiity to hold them any
longer.
At this time the father will undergo
severe treatment rather than re!innush
his progeny. He has been thrown out
upon the beach. but still clngs 10 his
charge, even during his death struggles.
Many of the young remain in this sin
gular cradle until they are four inches
in length.
The male seahorsc has little pouch
into which. In some panner. it places
the eggs OF its mate. When they are
Matched and become too numerous and
large to control. the seahorse presses
the pouch against a stone and gently
urges them to take their departure.
At this time they are almost invisible
to the naked eye. but they grow rap
'dly and are preyed upon by myrlads
Of fishes.

A HIGH-PRICED BARBER


John Scholefield of Florin, who is a
juror in the Orth case, told Under
Sheriff Reese a tale yesterday of how
he went into a barber shop in the In
ternational Hotel building for a shave.
He noticed the prices on the sign and
concluded they We're cheap and after
being shaved, in response to questions
by the barber, assented to having his
hair cut, shampooed and singed like
wise. He stated that on leaving the
chair the barber informed him that his
bill was S1.S5. He demurred, saving
that he would pay the scheduled prices.
amounting to 80 cents, but was IN
formed that that would not go and that
he would have to pay the price charged.
AS he still refused, one barber went
outside, he said, and held the door.
while the other placed himself in front
of it.
Scholefield, who is a husky fellow
himself brushed the first man aside
and up against the wall, he says. and
jerking open the door walked out and
told the pair to call a policeman if
they wished. They did not do so and
he paid the 80 cents and departed. He
says that, in all his travels in the
Klondike, he never ran UP against
quite so high prices.

DEATH OF GEORGE H. RICHIE.
An Old Time Citizen Passes to the
Other Side.

George H. Richie, one of the oldest
and best known citizens of Sacramento.
died yesterday at his home, 912 Elev-
enth street, after long illness.
George H. Richie came to California
when the State was young, and after
trying his luck in the mines embarked
in the butcher business in GEORGETOWN.
Ell Dorado County. He lived in George
town a number of years and then came
to Sacramento. For number of years
he was engaged in farming in Suffer
County, and at one time owned a half
section of land there, Jointly with SEN
ator Fred Cox. Mr. Cox bought
Richie out about thirteen years ago.
after which the latter retired from
business and spent the remainder of his
years at his home in this city. He
had many warm friends and sustained
a high character for integrity and
trustworthiness.
The deceased was II years old and
a native of Ohio. His wife survives
him.

TOO MANY HOPS.
Prices Will Consequently be Low
This Year.

M. H. burst, the London hop dealer,
who has been sending crop reports to
the Record Union during the pres
ent season, commenting on the complete
report as published in the London
Times" says:
The 1899 English hop crop is a phe-
nomenal one, both as regards gross
yield and yield per acre. The crop this
season is 3O4,S29 cwts. of 112 pounds
(about 20O,OOO American bales) more
than the yield in 1898.
In 1898 England imported 100000
bales of American hops The excess
grown here over the crop of last year
is nearly double the number of cwts.
imported from America last year. And
/ last years imports were the largest on
record for years. These statistics af-
ford cold comfort to the American hop
grower. Every one can compute for
himself the prospect of prices for Amer
lean hops. The outlook is uncertain.
and on the whole unsatisfactory. l
doubt if any one is in a position to give
the American grower any advice that
will be satisfactory. All / can say is
that hops will be cheap, and the grower
who sells his hops at living price this
year will be fortunate Growers who
have really gilt edge" hop can rea-
sonably expect a good market by and
by. But to-day no American hops will
command the attention of English
buyers. My advice to growers is two
fold: Don't refuse any good offers and
don't consign hops to this market Con-
signed hops will sell at prices that are
sure to be unsatisfactory There are
too many English hops here for Ameri-
| can hops to bring paying prices, and it
is only right that the American grower
should know the position of things over
here. English growers are getting very
unsatisfactory prices, and the lower
brewers find they can buy the cheaper
they want the hops. The American
| crop can be absorbed at home to much
better eventual advantage to the grower
than if consigned to London.

THE ORTIZ CASE.
Judge Hart Takes Two Motions
Under Achievement.

When the case Of W. I. Orth against
the National Bank of D. o. Mills e,
Co. was called in the Superior Court
yesterday, L. T. Hatfield, of counsel
for the bank, asked for an order of
court to take the deposition on interro-
cations OF the attorney of the Board of
Trade of San Francisco in relation to
some matters in the case.
Hiram w. Johnson of counsel for
Ortiz, objected and said it was beyond
the jurisdiction of the court to order the
deposition taken without allowing the
plaintiff an opportunity to cross-exam-
inc the affiant- 1t had been decided,
only week ago by Judge Ellison, that
due notice should be given, >in order
not to prejudice the right of the oppo-
site party.
Judge Hart took the matter under
advisement, saying that he was sat
isfied that the plaintiff had a right to
be present when the affidavit was
taken and the court could not depr:y.
him of that right. If the order was
granted, he thought the case should
be continued
In the afternoon, the plaintiff having
closed his case, Attorney Hatfield
moved for nonsuit and the question
was argued by the attorneys on both
sides, after which Judge Hart took the
matter under advisement, the question
being whether the defendant having
admitted that security had been given
for the note at the time it was made.
the burden of proof did not lie with it
to show that a change had been made
at a subsequent date.
Court was adjourned until this morn

BURNS DISCHARGED.
He Proves an Alibi by a Large
Number Of Witnesses.

The case Of John Burns, charged
with stealing shotgun from the resi-
dence of E. s. Moffett, was concluded
in the City Justices Court yesterday

charged

at or near Ninth and @ streets, and
were there on the evening in question.
Hugh H. Haggerty testified that from
o'clock in the afternoon until 10 at
night, he had been with Burns con-
stantly, except for about a quarter of
an hour between and 80 o'clock,
when Burns went to Armory Hall to
vote. He and Burns, he said, had had
several drinks that day, but as they
were obliged to go into back doors Of
saloons to get them, he did not know
who conducted the places.
Burns on his own behalf. testified
that he had not been in Washington,
Yolo County (where Mr.. Moffett lives),
for three weeks. He said he had never
been in Bloomberg's place in his life,
and only knew the secondhand man
by sight. He had never done any bus
mess with him.
Justice Anderson said that while
there were a number of suspicious
features about the case, he would be
obliged to give the defendant the ben
eft of the doubt and discharge him,
which he accordingly did
