Association Of American Agricult-

The Association of American Agricul-

passed through this city last night on
a special train Of nine cars, on its way
from Oroville to Antioch, where they
will be to-day.
Thence they go to Oakland, and later
will visit the Santa Clara Valley and
inspect its resources. A number of the
members will return to the East short
ly, while others will remain in the
State for some time, investigating its
agricultural resources. They have Wis
tied Fresno and other places in the
southern part of the State and OBJ
tained much valuable information
about the States resources. Among
other things they found out that Oro-
vile oranges ripen six weeks or more
before the Los Angeles oranges do and
can be put on the Eastern market
sooner than Florida oranges.

Lieutenant Hughes said the an

really surprise to him, as he had not
made any direct application for a COM

One cause, more than any other, con-
tributes to making the tens of thousands
of childless, and consequently unhappy,

often the unconscious fault of the wife. A

children it will probably be at the sacrifice

THE STATE SCHOOL CENSUS.
THIS YEARS INCREASE VERY

A Little Over Five Hundred, With
Only Los Angeles to be

T. j. Kirk, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction. has not yet made
his report to State Controller Colgan Of
the number of children of school age
between ) and II years-though the
statute expressly provides that such re-
port shall be made on or before July
10th of each year.

Controller on or before the 10th day
of July of each year, the total number

ages of 5 and II years, as shown by
the latest reports of the County Super
intendents on file in his office"
But Superintendent Kirk has a good

The total number of school children,
exclusive of Los Angeles, is 305, ,91O, and
to bring the number in the State up TO
that of last year (347 ,624), Los Angeles
must furnish LIZA. AS matter of
fact, Los Angeles in 1898 reported A.
043, and it is believed that its loss, If
any, has been small. 1t is thought the
gain for the entire State will, however,
be less than 500.
In view of such a condition it will be
interesting to note the annual Increase
of children of the school age for the

Some Runaways.

Mrs. Hyrum Pidcock, her daughter
and one other lady had very narrow
escapes in a runaway yesterday. They
were in a surrey. with single horse
driving along Washington avenue
when wheel came off, and the horse
went dashing up Twenty-sixth street
to Adams avenue. Mrs. Pidcock and
her daughter remained in the vehicle
but the other lady fell out. without
however, suffering any serious injuries.
The frightened horse went down Adams
avenue about half a block, where il
collided with telephone pole and came
to a stop. Mrs. Pidcock was overcome
by the shock and tainted as soon as
she got out of the surrey, but soon re-
vived. The buggy was pretty badly
damaged.
A team belonging to Tom Heller and
driven by James Cashmere ran away
down Twenty-fifth street yesterday
morning and completely demolished
the rig. Another party was in the
buggy with Cashmere few moments
before the team bolted, but became
alarmed at the erratic methods of the
driver and got out.

HOW ANTI-AMERICAN PREJU
DICE rs FORMED.
Marseilles Paper Prints Picture of a
Girl Being Publicly Flogged In
Virginia.

Washington, May 23.-An example of
the manner in which anti-American
prejudice is formed in some portions of
Europe, has been brought to the atten-
ton of the state department in the is
sue of LIE Petit Marseillaise of Mar
settles, France, of the eth inst. This
paper contains full page illustration
in garish colors, representing young
girl undergoing punishment by the
whip in America.
The two prominent figures in the pic
ture is the girl, who is undergoing pub
lie fiogging, and the sheriff. The latter
is a tall figure. wearing a red shirt and
black trousers, his right arm, with
which he is welding cruel lash,
barred to the elbow. while the girl
stands with her arms in the stocks and
body bare to the hips, receiving the
blows from the whip. The chastisement
is witnessed apparently with enjoy
Inent by a miscellaneous assemblage
of old men, young girls and little chill
dren, all well dressed. while a number
of soldiers stand in the background to
support the proceeding with the Off
cial authority of the United States gov
eminent. Explaining the illustration
the MarSellaise says:
In country like America, where one
is accustomed to find only progress
and new discoveries, one is very much
surprised to see a turn backward like
punishment by the whip. This retro
grade movement is performed in the
state of Virginia, in which the legisla-
tive assembly has voted a law permit
ting the application of corporal chas-
tisement in public.
The first person upon whom this pun
ishment has been inflicted, is a young
girl of Is years of age. who was whip
ped on the public square of Manassas.
If one did not notice the modern
dress of the crowd which was present
at the scene, in the presence of The
sheriff and Representatives of the pub
lie force, he would have thought him
self in the middle ages on seeing the
unhappy girl, naked to the waist, both
hands held in a piece of plank while
the executor of the law acquitted him
self conscientiously of his mission
1t is only necessary to say that pun
ishment by flogging is not authorized
by the laws of Virginia, and that the
illustration is purely imaginary.

A Sad Case.

A sad case is reported from Harris
ville-a case eliminating in the I'M
timely death of Miss Jane Edwards on
June Is last. A coroner's jury brought
in a verdict of death by natural
causes" but the evidence shows that
the girl had been wronged. The cir
cumstances appearing from the physi-
clans report and the evidence was 20
the effect that the girl was somewhat
predetermined and had become en-
ciente through association with party
now outside the state. OF late she has
been very nervous and excitable, and
on the day named received two bad
rights. She was seized with choking
spells, and in a few hours was dead.
The justice of Harrisville has written
to the young man, insisting that ne
bear the expenses of her funeral.
