ecutors and receivers for SINNERS estate.
Mr.. Gray said that Skinner owed $Zl2cO
to twenty or thirty banks. most of which
held adequate security. The aggregate OF
the collateral, the value of which was un-
disputed amounts to $4,000. The losses,
Mr.. Gray said. are SO scattered as to fall

The Fruit World. of Los Angeles. CAL.
announces the impending amalgamation OF
most of the fruit growers and shippers in
southern California into a cooperative
combination modelled somewhat on the lines
of the Deciduous Fruit Exchange of Sac
ramento and the Raisin Growers Associa-
ton of Fresno. The amalgamation will
involve a combination of capital of more
than a million dollars. By this amalgama-
ton the bitter warfare that has existed
between the growers and the independent
shippers will end, and the past losses re-
sultng from ruinous competition will be
converted into profits.
Ex-Judge Robert S. Woodruff, who was
appointed a special master for the purpose,
has filed in the United States Circuit Court
at Trenton, n. j., his report of the prin-
cipal and interest due on the collateral
gold certificates of the Asphalt Company of
America and the National Asphalt Conn
pany, for the payment of which foreclosure
proceedings were instituted. Judge Wood
ruff reports that there is due in interest on
the outstanding certificates of the Asphalt
Company of America 81, ,0754 which,
with the principal. makes the total amount
due $30, ,537, 701.77. The principal and interest
due on the certificates of the National AS
phalt Company aggregate S6,054, 1893. Y. Judge
Woodruff further represents that there is
deposited with the Land Title and Trust
Company of Philadelphia by the Asphalt
Company of America s6.000,000 of assets TO
guarantee the payment of principal and In
terest of the gold certificates.

Lord Roberts is losing more and more Of
his popularity with all classes in England.
All the public favor with which he was
overwhelmed at the time when he returned
to England from India, and then from
South Africa, has disappeared, and the
abuse which falls to his share from the
public and from the military men Is second
only to that coming TO the secretary of war.
The principal criticism Is the manner I'm
which he permits himself To be influenced
by considerations Of rank and title, and
the interference by his wife which he per-
mits in the duties OF his office. Indeed the
dismissal Of Colonel Kinloch. commanding
the Grenadier Guards and one OF the finest
officers in the service. who greatly distin-
guished himself in South Africa, has been
brought about wholly by Lady Roberts.
The latter is a most estimable, weil-in-
tentioned woman of the bustling, active.
jealous and masterful type, who keeps her
husband, In spite of his being commander
in chief of the British army, wholly under
her subjection. Her presence in South
Africa gave rise TO no end OF unpleasant-
ness, and matters even reached such a
point that II was publicly declared In the
press that the only manner TO secure proper
recognition of ones services and cor1-
Portable billets was to ingratiate oneself
with Lady Roberts. Since her return TO
England matters have gone on from bad
to worse. In the case of the mild hazing to
which Lord Douro and two other subai-.
terms OF the Grenadier Guards were SUBJ
jected by their young fellow-officers as a
punishment for noncompliance with certain
regimental ethics. the mothers OF the three
young subalternS concerned carried their
complaints, not 10 the commander I'm chief.
but TO the latter's wife, so working on her
feelings that she did not rest until she had
induced her husband TO call for the resig-
nation of the commander of the regiment
The matter is 10 be discussed in Parlia-
ment. and il is probable that the part
played in the matter by Lady Roberts will
likewise form the subject OF some unpleas-
ant comment in both the upper and lower
houses.

Pleasant Real-Life Incident.

What a curious mixture the Italians
are, with their fiery natures and racial
tendency to leisure-you can hardly call ii
lazness," said man to whom interesting
adventures are always happening.
II saw pretty little incident this morn
seventeen years old was lounging behind a
street fruit stand, piled high with beautiful
things to eat-orangeS, bananas, raisinS,
dates, figs, nuts and grapeS-when up tod
died a dirty little black-eyed street baby, a
little girl so wrapped up In clothes she
could hardly waddle, but bare-headed, with
untidy blonde curls. The crafty little crea-
ture slipped up under the edge of the fruit
stand, eyeing the vendor to see that he was
not looking at her, and began pulling off
grapes from a big bunch overhanging the
edge.
Hi. get away from there.' shouted a
little newsboy. Looky there, Dago, she's s
stealth yer grapes.
'Dago leaned over his stall, gazed pleas
antly on the frightened little roly-poly of
a girl, and seized her hand. She began to
scream and kick madly-trying to get away.
But he held her firmly. and with the other
hand selected a few dates, two figs, several
nuts and some grapes These he put into
a little paper bag and placed il in the
a word of thanks, but looking happy and
surprised, she toddled off towards home.
The little newsboy looked thoroughly dis
gusted and Dago. noticing that 1 was
watching him, gave me lazy smile and a
humorous beam from his lustrous black
eyes.
..Of course, the moral of this episode is
hardly correct; but / was glad 1 had wit

IRISH LAND PURCHASE BILL.
Its Text Reveals Important Feature
Not Previously Known.

LONDON, March 27.-The text of the
Irish land purchase bill which was intro
duced in the House of Commons by the
Irish secretary Mr.. Wyndham, on Wednes-
day last, was given out to-day. 1t occu-
pies thirty nine pages of a parliamentary
paper and bristles with technicalities. The
full wording reveals many important fea-
lures which were not mentioned in Mr.
Wyndhams speech when the bill was in
trodrced. All arrears of rent due at the
time of the purchase of land are recover
able by the land commission and not the
arrears for year only. as previously
cabled The land commissioners. however.
are given power in special cases to re-
NIT part or all of the arrears. The COM
missioners are not permitted to purchase
or pastoral Thus, Killarney is exempt
under this clause. In cases of untenanted
estates purchased by the commissioners
they are empowered to execute the neces-
sary works OF Improvement, which tre-
mendously enlarges the scope of the COM
missions expenditures. The commission
is empowered to declare subtenants to be
tenants of any holding occupied by them

will be vested in the commissioners when
any estate is purchased and can be dis
posed of as the commissioners decide. The
commissioners are also empowered to de-
termine boundary and other disputes be-
tween the proprietors of holdings under the
bill. The commission has the first claim to
purchase bankrupt estates, and can resell
them to tenants or use portions of them for
the repatriation of evicted tenants The
latter point is regarded as being one of
the most vital features of the bill.
In the lobbies of Parliament tonight the
opinion regarding the Irish land bill was
rather less enthusiastic. 1t was recog-
niZed to be a measure of such complexity
that its only chance of existence lies in
the rather doubtful possibility of all par
ties consenting to accept ii in generous
spirit and that an active opposition from
any quarter must inevitably wreck it. The
Nationalists already are displaying restive-
ness. Latterly they have rather consist
emily supported the government in the di-
vision lobbieS, but tonight on a private
members bill of little consequence they
voted against the government, with the
result that the ministers only escaped de-
feat by the narrow majority of 13. Had
the Irishmen been present in their full
strength instead of to the number of only
fifty-five, the government would have been
defeated This uncertain attitude of John
Redmond's supporters is giving the gov
ernment great anxiety, and it is believed
if the Irishmen show a carping spirit to-
wards the land bill many Unionist sup
porters of the government will counsel its
withdrawal on the ground of its unpopu-
Iarity among the British electors, who are
already smarting under the burdens of a
heavy war taxation.

PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
Why Many Men DO Not Keec Up the
Practice.
Washington Star.

Washington Star
Remember that the man whose pictures
you see in the cuts so excellently designed
to bring the different muscles into full play
does nothing else. probably, for a living,
and he therefore keeps himself in perfect
physical condition. His muscles are hard
ened and pliable, and he can &C through the
motions by the hours without much fatigue.
The great reason why so many men quit
is because they attempt to do IL all and 10
go through the whole stunt of motions
right off, forgetting that not only is their
muscular system soft and f1abby, but that
their organic system is more or less weak.
Lassitude, soreness, fatigue and palpitation
and weakness of the heart result almost at
once, and you become disgusted and quit,
declaring that the motions are "too much
like work.
Again, the amateur exercises at the wrong
hour, such as before breakfast, or upon re-
turning home from work before Gfnner, in
both instances enforcing strain and a
drain upon the entire system. The physical
is already depleted by ones daily occupa-
ton, and exercise upon an empty stomach.
with already fatigued muscles, Is not only
physically wrong, but is apt to produce
such subsequent debilitating effects that
once more the amateur quits disgusted
with exercise, when he himself alone is to
blame.
My personal experience has proved that a
man cannot properly follow his ordinary life
and course of physical culture. too. with
out yielding point to the latter. whatever
others may claim TO the contrary. He
should abandon late hours, iates suppers.
drinks and other similar recreations and
disspations more or less INDUCED in by
men. Because men try 10 combine these
conflicting conditions and emulate the
trained athlete in his stunts accounts for
another reason why these excellent cnurses
are given up. Men who work during the
day should exercise al night before retiring,
and retire reasonably early. Muscular fa-
tigue Is then slept off and an opportunity
for stimulating reaction Afforded To the
man who does not have to work. and who
may rest as he pleases. II is another mat
ter.
Second-The next great reason why these
courses are so often abandoned almost as
soon as begun is that they are gone into
too vigorously at the outset and a too -di-
verse exemplification of the exercises is at
tempted. Ii is better for the amateur to
begin so gently that the muscular effect is
almost imperceptible, and in all cases stop
the instant fatigue and soreness is mani
tested. which, strange to say. men will not
do. The remaining great point is that all
physical effort must be followed by repose
to allow for natural and normal reaction.
and do not begin to exercise unless you can
rest afterward as may be necessary, de-
pending upon the strength or weakness of
your muscular system and the condition OF
YOUR heart.

ACTORS HAVE STAGE FRIGHT.

The men who are affected with stage

men who have been long in the business,

BERLIN, March 27.-While the German
Empress was galloping through the

this afternoon her horse, startled by a doe
that ran across the path, SHE'D and threw
her off. The Empress broke the fall with
her left arm and one of the bones snapped
just above the wrist. The Emperor,
Prince Adelbert, General Won Loewenfeld.

General Won Loewenfeld left the ad-
jutants far behind in the dash for the
hunting lodge, which was about a mile
away. He had some difficulty in locating
DR.. Leuthold, but presently reached him at
the army headquarters. Emperor William
in the meantime had applied first aid to
the injured limb and made a sling out Of
the Empresss veil.
AS the party walked toward the lodge a
carriage sent by General Won Loewenfeld
met them, but the Empress refused to take
it. DR.. Leuthold, in an automobile belong
ing TO a member of the Emperor's staff,
which was at army headquarters. went full
speed to Grunewald, arriving an hour and
half after the accident. He was followed
by Major Ilberg, the Emperor's surgeon,
and DR.. Bunker, the special physician of
the Empress. The fractured arm was
dressed and bandaged at the hunting lodge
and her Majesty was then driven in a car
riage slowly back to- Berlin. The Empress
sat in the carriage2 with her arm in a
sling under her jacket, the Emperor riding
on horseback. His Majestys close attend
ance caused some wonder as the party
passed through the Inter den Linden.
1t was an hour later before extra editions
explained the reason. No bulletin has been
issued by the doctors. who affirm that the
injury is case of simple fracture. DR..
Bunker will stay at the palace all night
