The farmers of Holland have de-
veloped the wonderfully productive
Holstein- Friesian breed of cattle, not
by making and crossing the breeds as
our American farmers persist in do
ing, but by selection, and keeping the
same breed type generation after gene
ration The males are selected with
the utmost care, invariably being the
calves Of the choicest mixers; while
about 20 per cent Of the heller calves
are retained for the dairy. 1t is super
fuous to say that these also are the
best of the lot, all others being sold as
veal. Until our own farmers follow
along the. same line of selection in
breeding, and stick to the same breed
type with the tenacity OF the sturdy
Dutch dairyman,, we shall not be able
to develop an American breed of cattle
or make forward steps in dairy herd

Immense Bunches of Dates.

C. D. Baker brought two punches
Of ripe dates from the old Company
ranch yesterday and placed them on
exhibition in the glass front building
belonging to the Board of Trade near
the Southern Pacific hotel.
Judging from the immensely and
profusion Of the dates the cultivation
Of that product will be a leading in
dustry in the country surrounding
Yuma within a few years. There are
thirteen punches on one tree and
eleven on the other of the two date
palms, and each bunch weighed from
forty to fifty pounds.-The Sun, Yuma,

fort for some time, | lapsed first into
one uneasy browse, then another, and
another, for several hours.
A splashing of feet in the brook
reused me at last, and l raised myself
to peer out from my covert. The
clouds had broken away, the moon was
up; and there were my painted pursu-
ers again, still looking for mel
Little trail as left, they had follow
ed on it to the brook and crossed over,
but we're now at a loss For some
time they stood, making signs to one
another, without speaking; and any
thing more weird than their strange
white-outlined bodies, like so many
walking skeletons, l have never seen.
With my gun we'll in hand, I lay in
the thicket and watched them. Alter
coursing about for time, recrossing
the brook once or twice, they moved
away in the direction in which 1 had
been travelling. Clearly, in spite OF
their usual dread of darkness, they
were spending the night hunting me;
but my ruse had bothered them.
The heated air had turned cooler
and my head felt clearer, but judged
it better to remain there till daybreak;
for looked for the black fellows to
come back presently.
They did not show themselves, how
ever; and as soon as the east grew
bright I set off, and in the course OF
half an hour reached the height OF
land ahead, whence I discerned the
little dome shaped mountain and yell
low cliffs to the west of our ranch.
l had not quite shaken off the black
fellows, however, for as descended
the hills, a confused distant shouting
was borne to my ears, and on bare
hilltop, mile or more to the south
ward, I caught sight Of several Of
them brandishing their kylies and beat
ing them on their shields. By way Of
parting salute, sent a bullet hum
ming over their heads. That was the
last I saw of them.
On reaching the ranch, found my
two partners in much anxiety as to my
fate One of them had just come in
from a trip down to the beach, and
had led home the pony, which he had
found hitched out by the trail, as had
left him.
I had covered distance of fully
eighty miles, and a number OF days
passed before I recovered from the
effects of the journey. The experience
taught me never to set off again by
night or day without compass.
Beyond doubt these black neighbors
of ours had intended to put in execu-
ton their threat to kill and eat
white man. If they could have sur
prised me, they would probably have
done so. None the less, l was very
glad I had not found it necessary to
shoot any of them, or open death
account with their tribe Two of them
have already come to our place Of
their own accord, and in time we shall
no doubt, establish friendly relations
with them.-Youth's COMPANION.

distance Of fourteen or fifteen miles.
Presently the mystery was cleared
Right ahead of me I suddenly saw a
broad channel of deep, swiftly flowing
water, into which my wandering creek
debouched. 1t was, it could be, moth
ing else than the Fitzroy river, which
at its nearest point is twenty miles to
the northeast Of OUR ranch. There is
no other such large stream in north
west Australia And all the time I
had thought that I was going to the
west!
Now, at least, knew where I was;
and as I was still determined not to
give up my trip, | ate what was left OF
my food, and set off to follow the river
to salt water. sa.E

when | came to a deep lagoon, or arm
Of water, which opened back from the
river. A strong current was setting
into it, too strong to cross; and I fol-
lowed it back and round for a mile or
more, and then found that it broaden
ed in large pool three or four hum
dred yards in diameter.
AS I stood looking across it, I espied
what looked like log hut on the far
ther side; and thinking that this
might be the camp of white hunters,
naturalists or prospectors, I at first
"cooeed' across, and then, receiving
no answer, went round the pool.
1t proved to be log cabin, evident
ly constructed by whites, but had been
for some time deserted; grass and a
few young oats were growing about
the doorway. Except a mildewed copy
of the London Times and two beef
tins, there was nothing whatever in
doors; and I was about to proceed
when, glancing across the pool, saw
four black fellows, armed with spears
and kylies, going along the other
shore, one behind another, all bent
forward and moving quickly, as il
tracking game.

ADVERTISING FOR LICENSES.

Question as to the Mediums Employed
May be Raised at the May Term OF
Court
The language of the law with refer
enco to the publication of applications
for license for the sale OF intoxicating
liquors is as follows: "He shall publish
his intention TO make such application
for at least three times in two news
papers Of his county Gf so many there
bel, the last of which publications shall
be at least 10 days before the sitting OF
the court TO which the same shall be
presented
In the publication OF these applica-
tions many liquor dealers select papers
Of limited circulation, for two reasons:
First, on account OF much cheaper rates;
and second, because many OF the signers
prefer not to have their names subjected
to the close scrutiny which att aches 10
TO newspapers having large and general
circuatiOns. The law says nothing
about circulation it merely specifies
that the publications shall be made in
''two newspapers"
There are intimations that trouble is
threatened over the legal construction
and application Of the word "news-
papers IN this connection. In a desire
to avoid large publicity, some saloon
! keepers have accepted the solicitations
OF the publishers OF what may be called
class publications rather than news
papers. OF which there are several in
this city. Their circulations are limited
and their charges low 1t is contended
that these publications are not news
papers within the general meaning OF
the word or the intent of the law, and
that the advertising OF the applications
in such papers is not a compliance with
the statute, one object of which is Ia
afford publicity to all the applications
for license to sell Intoxicating liquors.
The question may be raised at the
Nav term of General Sessions Court and
a decision asked for.

ADD1oKs' VIEWS.
Given at a Meeting of the Union City
Committee Last Night.

Given at a Meeting of the Union City
Committee Last Night.
J. Edward Addicks attended the
meeting of the Union Republican City
Committee last night and gave his
views as to the latest phase OF the situa-
tion i'm the Republican camp. He said
he considered Republican chances for
success to be bright since the action OF
the Regular Republicans in rejecting
the Union proposal for harmony on frl-
day. From his remarks it was inferred
that he was speaking of the prospects
of Union Republican success regardless
of the action OF the Regulars.
He declared that an acceptance by
the Regulars Of the harmony proposition
would not have resulted IN a united
party. for thousands OF Union Republic
cans would have baked under the cir
cumstances.
lie said the Union Republicans do
not nropose to abandon their organiza-
tion and unless a satisfactory harmony
agreement can be made it looks as II
there would be two tickets IN each
county. He said he would favor an
agreement for the Regulars TO nominate
one candidate for Senator and the
Ijnionists one in the next Legislature
both TO be elected regardless ot who
they might be- provided the Republican
members comprise a majority: Inns Is
construed to mean that he believes he
would be one of the nominees. ..
The committee arranged to submit
names 70 the Department OF tlectlon'
from which to select registration anc
election officers.

HOSE ACROSS The TRACKS.
Statement by Railroad Authorities OF the
Trouble az the n. & II. Fire.


Trouble at the n. & II. Fire.
Concerning the blocking of the
tracks of the Maryland division OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad during the
fire at the plant of the Harlan q Hol-
lingsworth Corporation, yesterday
afternoon, by hose from an engine on
Justison street north of Water street
stretching over the tracks, railroad
authorities made the following state
ment this morning:
After the fire had been in progress
for half an hour, Superintendent Ban
nard strolled down to see what was
going on. He had a trench dug under
the tracks, and railroad people asked
the chief Of the Fire Department TO
see to getting the hose under Eitteen
or 20 railroad men we're there TO assist
The work would not have taken hNe
minutes. Three or four streams We're
working south Of Water street, and MT.
Barnard did not think that the stop
ping of the engine north OF that. street
Tor five minutes, while the hose was
being put under the tracks, would
make any difference, as the fire was
under control, which he explained 10
the chief. Trains had been blocked
for half an hour. Six passenger trains
were being held, with 700 OF 500 persons
anxious to make New York connection
at Baltimore and Washington, and the
trains were carrying United States
mail The statement that railroad
men disconnected the hose IS not true
They did not touch it.
Finally, the chief made an attempt
lie disconnected the hose and ran d
under the tracks, and Mr.. Bannar'
arranged to start one train. Betor'
/ the train got started, however, th'
chief pulled the hose out and pu
| it over the tracks again. He said IA
needed another section, but failed T.
provide it. Railroad men went int
/ the II. & II. yard and found sectioi
of hose and, after Mr. Barnard ha'
| threatened to cut the h,se, the chic
| cleared the tracks. The action Of tn
/ chief unnecessarily stopped traffic o
| the Maryland division for half an hour
as the fire was under complete contro
