Tea Poisoning.

Victims of tea poisoning are becoming alarmingly prevalent. Women demand the life and variety of Health, and instead of do- ing it naturally by building up their systems they resort to tea. They should take Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters instead. By strength ening the digestive organs this brings beauty and good spirits. It tones up the nerves, drives away the blues, regulates the bowels and cures all forms of dyspepsia. All drug gists sell 1t.

EFFECTS OF THE RAINS.

HEPORIS from various parts Of the State are
~ to the effect that the rains have been every
where regarded as blessing and that little or
no damage has been done by them to any crop. AS
rule the early rains do more or less damage to
grapes and to hay, but this year the losses of that
kind are said to be comparatively insignificant
The only point where there any grave fear OF loss
is at Truckee, where the storm brought snowfall
which continued Tor about three days, and as the
stock and herds still in the mountains there is
good deal OF anxiety felt concerning them. From
localities other than those of the mountains the re-
ports nearly all reassuring. In Sacramento it is
said the damage to grapes in that section will be
slight From Stockton it is reported that thus far
there has been damage, though at first it was be-
ieved the table grapes would suffer Other varieties
OF grapes have been gathered. The rain has not
hurt the hay for a rule it is either baled or under
cover or stacked and water shielded
Much OF the same kind of reports are received
from other localities where the showers have been
good. From Elnira comes the statement: Little
damage has been done by the storm as the dry feed
was about all gone. No green or dry fruit was in
rred to any great extent" San Bernardino reports
no loss and adds The orange groves will be
greatly benefited" Ventura has some fears OF dam
age to beets still in the fields but other crops are
safe Thus it goes throughout the State A little
damage here and there, but nothing sufficiently
serious to counterbaance the general blessing of the
rain
A notable feature Of the storm is the amount Of
snow which has fallen in the mountains along the
whole length OF the State from north to south.
While Truckee reports snowstorm almost con-
nuously for three days, Los Angeles reports the
mountains OF that section to be mantled with about
six feet of This gives promise for good
rainy all winter for as long as the mountains
covered with there will be a temperature
in the upper air sufficiently cold to precipitate what

AN INTERNATIONAL FIASCO.

HEN the dgnitaries who represented the
w various powers at the great Peace Conference
at The Hague finished their discussions and
their dining, and with mutual good wishes bade one
another farewell they returned each to his own home
and reported progress. As the Gar had requested
the conference, his Ministers felt it incumbent upon
them to speak for the conference as whole and in
notable state paper they informed his imperial
Majesty that all WE'LL that the discussion had ac-
compshed much good, and that peace if not within
reach, was at least in sight.
Since that time, short while ago. President
Kruger OF the Transvaal Republic has invoked the
powers to uphold the principles of arbitration agreed
upon at The Hague and to arbitrate the dispute be-
tween the republic and Great Britain Aguinado,
president OF the Fiipinos has also invoked arbitrs
ton in the interests of peace in the Philippines To
each of these requests the high powers who babbed
Of arbitration and universal peace so eloquenty at
The Hague have turned deaf ears Arbitration is a
good thing for diplomats to discuss over the wal
nuts and the wine after sumptuous dinners but
clearly they still hold it would be breach of et-
quette to suggest it a practical reform to either
one OF the powers.
There is something onlinous in the fact that war
in the Transvaa followed so swiftly after The Hague
conference. 1t is significant reminder Of the old
saying, Men cry peace, peace, when there is no
peace" Perhaps if another conference of the kind
should be held there would be universal war, one in
which the Gar himself would take part and 90 to
slaughtering gayly any conqueror known to
history
When the Peace Conference was called no powers
hailed it with aacrity than the United States
and Great Britain. The affair promised good op-
portunity for them to deliver moral lectures to the
| nations Of Europe which cursed with militarism
The warlke spirit OF the Kaiser and the thirst for re-
venge and military glory of the French were to be
rebuked by the peace-loving, peaceful Ango-Saxon
race of America and England 1t was beautiful
opportunity and it fully taken advantage of
Many were the and many were the orations
pronounced in this country and in Great Britain
against the criminal folly of the military nations
To-day the nations OF Europe are all at home with
their armies holding spectacular parades and exer-
cisng their soldiers in harmless maneuyers but we
and our cousins the British are making the brown
and the Boer understand that soldiers are not
for ornament only, The example we set will preach
louder than the words uttered SO fuentlv while
the conference in session. We have, in fact.
turned the conference into fasco and started wars
which, while small in themselves may have conse-
quences which will involve the world in alarms and
set every nation the globe to fighting.

THE ODD FELLOWS JUBILEE.

Il OR fifty years the order of Odd Fellows has
been at work in California and during the
coming week in accordance with custom that
has become something like unwritten law in the
United States, it will celebrate the jubilee with
grand conference and festival The event will be
the chief feature OF the week for San Francisco, and
possibly for California and will to remind the
community OF the good work which that and other
benevolent and raterna associations have done and
are doing for the betterment OF humanity.
The first lodge OF Odd Fellows in California
established September 9, 184o The jubilee was not
held on the anniversary of that date because the
Grand Encampment of the order is to meet here next
Tuesday and it was thought best to hold the festival
at that time. The celebration, therefore will be
marked by the ceremonies OF the encanpment as we'll
as by the special features prepared for the com
memoration OF the jubilee itself
Within the fifty years of its work in the State the
order has grown from small beginnings to be one OF
the most potent institutions of the commonwealth
1t has in its subordinate lodges upward of $4,000
members In the Rebekah lodges, to which ladies
as we'll as men are admitted, there are about u 900
members OF whom about 5000 are ladies. The encamp-
ment branch of the order numbers about 1000 1t
will be seen that numerically the order is strong in
all its branches and that its growth has fully kept
pace with the increasing population of the State
The benevolent work OF the association during its
career in California shows an expenditure in the
half century of $oooo,ooo Most of it has been
done quietly within the lines OF the order itself and
with the simple grace OF true charity so that it is
not fully known to the members themselves
but that it has been widely helpful is not to be
doubted. To some extent, however, the good work
shines before and is visible in the stately build
ings Of the Home for Aged Odd Fellows at Their
malito and the Orphans Home at Glroy. It IS
moreover, frequently manifest in the work done by
boards of relief in all the principal cities OF the State
and by the employment branch
Fraternalism is of the marked characteristics
OF our people. In other State OF the Union do
the various fraternal orders flourish as in Califor-
MIA in proportion to the numbers Of the population
Among these orders the Odd Fellows have held
high rank Beginning in the State in the pioneer
days, when almost every man in the community was
stranger to every other it set about the work of
binding the better elements Of the population into
true brotherhood devoted the service OF genuine
humanity. The members OF the order who have in
herited the work OF their predecessors can draw from
the past splendid inspirations for the future and the
celebration of the jubilee this week will be
prophecy Of the wider work and higher good that
are to be wrought in the future.

THE DAILY RABID.

HE Examiner is close imitator of that style
OF newspaper called in England The Penny
Dreadful"
We recently published the full text OF official
report made to the War Department on conditions
in the Philippines by an authorized agent OF this
Government. The importance OF the report was its
official character. All OF the statements OF fact in
it have been in the air for months They have been
published by correspondents in this country and in
Europe. The Associated Press has taken cognizance
OF many OF them, and many others haveebeen given
cut in interviews. They were not new, but their off
cal restatement and authoritative verifcation was
new and was news, and The Call published it. The
Examiner reparades some OF the statements in
parallel column with an interview which it pub
lished with Rev. Mr. Mcqueen Of Boston. We
could also parallel parts Of it with interviews The
Call has published with General Reeve and others
who in the Philippines were observers of the same
incidents and had knowledge Of the same facts as
appear in the official narration.
The Examiners intimate knowledge of Rev Mr.
Mcqueen a Congregational clergyman, was shown
in its representation of him robed as a Catholic
priest confessng dying soldiers OF that faith on the
battle field and administering the final consultations
OF the church according to the Latin rites!
The Call has no need to fake news for it pub
fishes all the news. The Examiner system OF pub
fishing only such news as it likes compels it to So
phistcate and invent and fake to fill the place OF
what it suppresses.
In these high times, when news centers are dotted
thickly over two hcmispheres genuine newspaper
has lack OF matter which interests all classes OF
readers. The Call is such paper and has the enter
prise and facilities to maintain that character
