CALIFORNIA OLIVE CULTURE.
The Friars Began It More than
Century and a Half Ago.


F. NJ. Bisbee, formerly chief engi-
neer of the Tennessee Central railroad,
who has just returned from an outing
in the Northwest, has been made gen.
eral manager Of the Los Angeles Land
and Water Company. This corpora
ton owns 1900 acres of land near Los
Angeles, which seven years ago was
planted in olive trees, and now the
stockholders have commenced to reap
a rich harvest.
"Ours is the most extensive orchard
on the coast" said Mr.. Bisbee, ''and at
that we have only begun our opera
tions in that locality. Recently we
purchased 5000 acres additional land
that adjoins the orchard from which
we are now gathering fruit. Two thou
sand of these will be planted, and we
think we have one of the best revenue
producing properties going.
"You can gain some idea of the ex-
tent of an olive yield when tell you
that this year We have shipped from
those 7-year-old trees, 1000 tons of oil
and $4,000 gallons Of pickles, which are
now on the market. And as the trees
grow older they bear more heavily. I
have seen one little orchard there the
trees in which were planted in 1859,
almost 140 years ago, and they are to-
day bearing magnifcently.
Few people are aware Of it." con-
tinued Mr.. Brisbee, according to the
Nashville News, but the producing Of
olives In California was introduced by
the friars more than a century and a
half ago. In those days, when primi-
tive civilization was first blazing its
way along the Pacific slope, the friars
conceived the idea of establishing re-
ligious posts between Los Angeles and
San Francisco just about days jour
ney removed from each other. The
object was to insure pleasant instead
of laborious trips when moving up and
down the coast.
Everybody knows that the friars
were good Hvers. They liked olives

pronounced success which is yet ap-
parent"

A Back-Handed Compliment.

Cinderella had just put on the crys-

my foot look smaller?" she asked, with
charming naivete.
Perhaps" replied the prince; "but
I can see right through it."
Disconnected by this back-handed
compliment, the poor girl blushed, but

stockings had not yet arrived she had
to be content with her undeceptive

been wondering ever since how it came
out. Three women, ali good and hand

did love another man who was very

GOLD SNAP BRINGS FIRES.
Tenement House Occupants
 Driven Into Street.

Eight Families Occupied Each Flat
 and Every One Full-The People
 Had to Go Out in the Gold Wearing Only Their Night Clothes.
 New York, Nov 19.-The arrival of the first cold snap of the season brought with it the customary fires from oy@rheated stoves, and as result the tenants of two tenement houses in the thickly populated downtown dis tricts were driven into the streets early today. Abdul Tanore and his wife were severely burned in rescuing their 19 months old babe whose cradle stood near a red hot stove.
 The first fire was in a five-story ten ement on Washington street in the rear of which stood the six-story build ing of the Bishop Warehouse Go, filled with baled cotton and other highly 1n- flammable stuffs. From the Tenore fiat on the second floor where 1t start cd. the fire spread rapidly up to the third floor and the flames leaped out of the rear windows, licking the rear walls of the warehouse. By hard work the warehouse was saved, but the tenement was cleaned out, the loss being estimated at $15,000.
 The second fire was in six-story double tenement at Monroe and Clinton streets. There are eight families liv- ing on each floor, and each fiat is oc- cupied. The fire soon was extin- guished but a dense smoke filled the entire tenement. The noise of the ap. preaching fire apparatus roused the tenants and there was a terrific rush and scramble down the stairs. and for a time the fire escapes were damned
 Every one of the forty-eight families turned out into the street in their night clothes and they suffered intensely in the cold. No one was seriously in- jured. The damage was slight.

SHOW BAD MANNERS.
Students Throw Food About
 Dining Hail

Sharp Appeal for More Decency in the
 Yale News To-Day-Professor Reed
 Denounces the Guilty Ones and De-
 mands Better Manners,
 New Haven, Nov 19.--The conduct of a few students in throwing food about the Yale commons dining hall is the basis of sharp appeal for bet ter manners published in the Yale News today, in the form of com munication from Professor Edward R. Reed of the university to the student committee of the patrons of the din ing hall. Professor Reed says: ..Of the eight hundred and odd men who take their meals at the dining hall, there are a few-possibly as many as 8 dozen-who make it practice to throw food about at the different tables or on the floor. It is self evident that the overwhelming majority of patrons of the hall is opposed to throwing food, for the average Yale man is a gentleman A small minority should not have the power to make itself q public nuisance. It is humiliatins to invite an alumnus or some visitor from abroad to the hall and to he obliged to sit near some of the tables. When a man deliberately hurts the good name of Yale it is time for radical action"
 After saying that the practice also has lizing effect on the wait CTS. making them careless and sloven- ly, Professor Reed as an alumnus of the university. protests against .'the attempts of an Insignificant minority to degrade the finest dining hall in the country to the condition of a cheap and dirty Bowery restaurant" Tn conclusion he says. "Such men would not be tolerated for 8 moment at the table of city club. Why must we tolerate them 1t Yaie?"
 The News says the communication has met with the unqualified approval of the committee to which 1t was ad- dressed.

 The general overseer declares that the need of capital is not due to a de- pression of the business of the Zion industries, but because the demand for Zion products is greater than the pro- ducing power of it's present capital.

 Monday--A Double Session Will Be
 Held Hereafter in the Crosby
 Grammar School.
 In accordance with vote passed last night by the department of edu- cation, the pupils at the Elm street school, 600 in number, were sent home until Monday. By that time arrange ments will have been made to accom- modate all of them in the Crosby school building. After looking at the question from many standpoints the committee on teachers and the super intendent of schools decided to tide things along for time without break ing up existing conditions in any of the other schools or separating the pu- pills from their present teachers. This end will be attained by running the Crosby school on double session ba- SIS, each session to consist of four hours, little less than three-quarters Of an hour less than the present two sessions. The first will run from S:15 a. m. to 12:15 p. m., and the second from 12:3O p. ID. to 4 80 D. m.
 In the forenoon the sub-primary. Kindergarten, first and second grades will be on the first floor with no change of teachers.

The fourth and fifth grades will be on the second floor with the Misses Kelley, Prior, Seng. and Freeman, teachers: the seventh, sixth and eighth grades will occupy the third floor with the Misses Mcdonald, Coyle and Donahue teachers. In the afternoon the sub-primary first and kindergarten grades will be on the first floor, Miss Hahn and Miss Burke will have charge in the sub-primary depart ments, Miss Scadden in the first grade, and the Misses Cables and Ar mold will be in the Kindergarten class; the second, third and fourth grades will be on the second floor, the Misses Cairns, Wolff, Heringer and Walsh teaching; the seventh, eighth and sixth grades will be on the third floor with the Misses Coyle, Tennant, Cur tis and Fitzgerald a s teachers. ny this arrangement each pupil will con- tinue to have his present teacher and the work of the school will go on without any interruption. Any other plan suggested involved great incon- venience to pupils on account of dis tance to be travelled, and much con fusion in their work. not to take into consideration the practical dismem- berlnent of the Crosby school, the lar gest educational institution in the city. On account of placing smaller seats on the first floor in the Crosby building. the Swedish High school and Mechanical drawing departments of the evening school will be transferred to the High school.
