bribery paper offered. being of Il similar
character to that previously laid on the
table at Princess Anne. could not again
come mp. except upon two-thirls vote
of all the members present at the Ori-
ginnl meeting. 1t was thought. that the
Prcshytcry would waive all merely tech
nical points to place itself properly be-
fore the public on II subject that has been
so widely discussed in Delaware. but the
PrcShytrry decided otherwise. the Rev.
Mr. McCmrdy, Pastor Of Central Church,
suggesting the adviSnhlity Of letting the
paper come before the prrShytrry.
After other business had been trans
acted, Theodore +. Clark submitted II
carefully wordcd anti-brihrry paper CON

OBSERVATORY INSTRUMENTS
University Adds Valuable Equipment
 for Astronomical Research

University of California---New astronomical instruments, purchased through the generosity of a number of benefactors, have recently been added to the equipment of the University of California. In all six new and ex- tremely valuable instruments have been installed on Observation hill. With the photographing instruments and the aid of new engine for measuring star plates that is coming from Germany, the department in tends to take the positions of the Watson asteroids, whose perturbations are now being calculated at the uni versity at the expense of the Washing ton National Academy of Science.
 An open air observatory has re- gently been erected just south of the main building on Observatory hill.

These miners joined the stampede to Nazina last spring and, finding there only shallow placers, determined to push on to Yukon. Most of them sold their outfits, understanding supplies could be purchased at the several trading posts in the Panama Valley.
 In this belief they were mistaken. The traders had only small stock. News of the destitute condition of the men was carried to Fort Egbert, on the Yukon, by Henry Bratnober of San Francisco, mining expert who represents the Rothschilds and the London Exploration Company.
 Bratnober saved three men from starvation, and urgently recommended to Capt. Perkins at Fort Egbert that he send military expedition to the rescue of the foodless miners, who number not less than 200. Capt. Per kins immediately wired to Washington for authority, and is presumed by this time to have dispatched detach- ment with supplies to the Upper Panama Valley.

GROWERS HAVE COMBINED
Woodland Association Joins Fresno
 Men

Woodland-The raisin growers of the state have combined and now con trol fully 90 per cent of the entire grape acreage of the state. The com bination was affected at meeting of the Woodland Sultana Growers Association, when assurance was re- ceived that the Fresno, known as the California Raisin Growers Associa- tion, had accepted tho proposition of the local association. submitted a short time ago. which acceptance practically means the merging of the two associations. While the terms of the .proposition have not been made public it is evident that the local association was granted important concessions. Representative of both associations had met twice before and could not.agree upon terms. Finally the local association submitted a proposition to the Fresno association which, after several days considera- tion, was accepted.
 At the meeting a schedule of prices for muscatel raisins was adopted by the Fresno association, local prices being one-quarter of cent per pound lower than those of Fresno.
 Local prices were as follows: Two crown, 6 cents per pound; three crown, 6l4 cents; four crown, 6s4 cents. The above prices are for raisins packed in fifty-pound boxes for common shipping point. These prices, it is estimated, will net the growers cents in the sweat boxes. A few local growers have already sold outside the association for 334 cents and better.

DOG KILLS BOY BY STRIKING GUN
A Romp With a Pct Animal Ends
 Fatally

San Diego-Seberino Preciado, aged 16 years, and native of Mexico, died early Thursday morning at St. Joseph's sanitarium. He was a healthy young giant when he was brought to the sanitarium, fatally shot. The accident that caused his death was unique. He was working as ranch hand 100 miles south of the border in Lower California and was out hunting with favorite dog.
 While on the way back to the ranch he played with his pet dog and the dog played with him as boys and dogs will. In some way while the dog was jumping round the boy he managed to hit his gun, the blow discharging it. The shot struck the young Mexican in the left thigh and nearly tore his leg off Help came quickly, but no doctor was.nearer than San Diego, one hundred miles distant. He was

AguinaIdo Gives Advice

Manila-Aguinaldo, the ex-revolu- tionary leader, but now pronounced supporter of the policy maintained by the United States in the island de- pendence, has just addressed a letter of advice to his countrymen.
