The cloth mill. however. employs 300 union
weavers and 225 of these were among the
strikers who reported for work today.
All the streets leading to Dobson's mill
were thronged with union strikers from
other sections of the city, who endeavored
to dissuade the employees from their inten-
ton Of resuming work. The members of
the executive committee of the Central
Textile Workers Union stated that the ac-
ton Of the Dobson strikers will have no
effect whatever on the 5000 cloth weavers

CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIES
Big Fruit Crop Indicated-The Raising
of Ostriches.

1.-THE fruit crop Of California will be a big
one next fall If no unforeseen disaster oc-
ours" said H. B. Kline of Los Angeles at
the New Willard. 1.-The rapid increase in
the number OF growing fruit trees is re-
markable. Investors from all parts Of the
country are constantly buying up land there
and starting new farms, with result that
in a few years there will no district in the
world that can nearly equal 1t. One of the
industries that Is making rapid strides Is
that Of olive raising, and thousands of
bushels of this are being picked annually
in the southern part of the state. am not
particularly fond Of the ripe olive. which
Is popular dish at most of the hotels. but
I consider myself an expert on the preserv-
ed green fruit, and I am not prejudiced
when say that the California olive is far
superior to the italian as we get 1t.
Zone business OF Californians which is Of
great interest Is that OF ostrich raising.
There are some fine places devoted to 1t.
and the birds on each of them are number
ed by the hundred. Although the ostriches
are apparently meek and friendly when
seen insthe wired Enclosures, they are not
80 cowardly az they appear, and a person
not acquainted with their habits takes his
life in his own hands when he ventures
within their reach. If disturbed they do
terrible fight: with their claws. wings and
beaks The keepers have to use the utmost
care in the treatment of their charges. and
are often called upon to use the clubs which
they carry to protect them from being seri-
ously injured. The ostriches furnish a good
income for their owners, the feathers now
bringing high price in the market. The
introduction of limitations which are almost
indistinguishable will soon prove bad
thing, for they can be manufactured much
cheaper than the real article can be pro-
duced. It does not injure the birds to have
the feathers pulled out, although 1t causes
them considerable pain and Inconvenience
for a time. and they continue to provide the
plumage for many seasons.
Before they get too old they are killed
and the handsomest of the feathers from
all parts of the body are taken of. The
young birds are now Matched out with an
incubator. although In past years the eggs
were laid out on tho sand while the sun
was shining and then cared for at night

perintendent OF the Capitol, to a Star re-
porter today when asked concerning the

prevail of the leading architects of the

sired to employ in the office building for
the House of Representatives.
He designed some of the most notable
buildings at the worlds fair in Chicago and

this morning at the papal legation IN TINS
city from Cardinal Rampolia announcing
that the condition of Pope Leo XIII was
no worse The cablegram, translated into
English reads as follows:

The difference of time between this city
and Rome is about six hours. 1t Is believed
here that the cablegram referring to the
health of the pope left Rome at about $50
(Roman time) so that the time OF its trans
mission Is the difference in time between
the two places.

ROME, July 7 (3.55 a.m.).-
Another morning has broken on the
pathetic scene within the simple
chamber of the Vatican where Pope
Leo lies dying. AS the soft light OF
dawn penetrated into the room the
pontiff whispered to his devoted ply
sician that he desired the shutters OF
the windows to be opened, saying:
Il wish to see once more, perhaps
for the last time, the rays OF the
SUM-"
1t was Just a short while that the
pope came back to consciousness
from a sleep which DR.. Lapponi had
induced by strong dose Of chloral.
His sleep was so deathlike that arti-
fetal respiration was continued, and
DIR. Lapponi every few minutes
leaned anxiously over the couch to
observe the illustrious patient and
listen to his hardly perceptible
breathing.
Pope Leo awoke wet with perspi-
ration, feeble to the extreme, and
his voice hardly audible. The fits OF
coughing had brought pains in his
chest and shoulders, and thinking
his end was now near he said to DR..
Lapponi:
Tell me when the time really
comes"
The doctor assured his holiness
that he believed the danger OF his
immediate passing was averted tor
the night and for today.

ESTATE OF THE POPE.
On His Death It il Believed That q
Statement Will Be Published.

There has been some speculation in this
country in regard to the private estate of
Pope Leo XIII, and the manner IN which
1t will be disposed Of 1t il known that the
pope was possessed Of private fortune
A good deal of this estate is in the form of
real estate. It's value is not known here.
But no doubt is expressed that a general
misconception exists in the minds of some
people to the manner in which much Of
the property Is held by the pope. The
church property and the private estate OF
the pope are said to be entirely separate.
and 1t is believed that no confusion can &C.
cur as to these two classes of property. It
is expected that upon the death OF the
Roman pontiff his win will be published
and that statement of what has consd
tuted his private estate will be made pub
lie in the course of time.
