A "LadY's Limit y

Declaring that Mrs. Katherine Glenn
mons Gould never drank any more than
"a lady should" and that '.ladys limit"
was a pint of chamgaSne at dinner
Elijah w. Sells testified to Mrs. Gould'S
good character before Edward g. Whit
aker as referee at hearing in the suit
for divorce instituted by the millionaire's
wife some time ago in New York Mr..
Sells. who is cousin of Mrs. Gould
and a relative of Howard Gould is 90
ing abroad for six months, and Justice
Blschoff ordered the hearing because the
action will not come to trial until early
next year.
In July, 1906, after serious differences
had arisen between Mrs. Gould and Mr..
Gould Mr.. Sells said. he tried to effect
an arrangement involving the Clouds
living according to a domestic and prop
erty plan. Certain st1pulations were
laid down by Mr.. Gould to govern his
wifes conduct. but Mrs. Gould rejected
them shortly after which the couple sep
arated. One of Mr.. Gould's conditions,
the witness said was that his wife
should abstain wholly from the use OF
intoxicants. On this point, on cross-eH-
peared for Mr.. Gould. asked Mr.. Sells
to tell Just how much wine he thought
lady should drink.
Mrs. Could" the witness replied,
drank only as much as a lady should.
Well. what is lady's limit queried
Mr.. Nicol.
well. | should say that the limit for
lady is pint of champagne at din
ner." said Mr.. Sells.
Clarence j. Shearn, who represented
Mrs. Gould, asked the witness prior to
the cross-examination of Mr.. Niroll:
Now. have you ever observed n Mrs
Gould's demeanor any evidence that She
had been drinking to excess p
'Oh. never" promptly said Mr.. Sells

ON THE PACIFIC COAST.

h. III. Hartman has just bought two
| blocks of land across from the Solthern
! Pacific station, San Francisco, ON which
| he purposes to erect big warehouses for
the distribution of California fruits and
| vegetables to all parts of the Puget
sound country. The Southern Pacific
plans next year to make a special effort
| to carry to all parts Of the northwest
! fruits which this year were practically
| wasted because of low prices and lack of
markets.
Father Closa, who has been in charge
| for thirty years, asks aid in restoring
the old Franciscan mission at San Juan
Bautista, Cal. This mission is note
worthy for its beautiful chapel and its
| long, red tile corridor The priest at
his own expense has kept the mission
| from falling into decay, but he is I'M
able without aid to continue the work.
There is good prospect of a new oil
| field i'll southern San Joaquin county,
| Cal. as the Standard Oil company has
| bonded much property and is sinking sew
eral wells. Oil has been found at 1900
feet, but wells are being bored deeper
| This will be very valuable field, as it
is so near tidewater.
Southern Pacific surveyors are at work
| between Cisco and Truckee laying out
| lines for seven-mile tunnel through the
crest of the Sierra TO relieve the main
overland line of the stiff grades that now
require two engines to haul ordinary
/, trains.
A cut Of 33 1-3 per cent. in insurance
rates on property in the western addition
and 23 per cent in other outlying dis
| tricts of San Francisco has been made

more than half of its main line of 800
miles. and more than half of the forty
| five tunnels are finished. 1t is estimated
| that the road win be opened for service
| toward the end of next year.
| The Roy Sprague preceding device will
| be adopted next year by the Southern
Pacific Railway company, and experts
estimate that by its use California or
chardists will be able to ship 10000 car
| loads of table fruit TO the east, instead
of II. 600, as this year. 1t has been dem
onstrated that fruit can be chilled by the
new process at much lower cost than
the present refrigerator rates. The rail-
road company has already spent more
than S1,000,000 on ice making plants
for this new service at Cotton, i'll south
ern California, and at Roseville. near
Sacramento.

PURCHASE OF NEW MEXICO.

The territory of New Mexico was pur-
chased by the government of the United
States on the 30th of December, 1853
fiftyfive years ago yesterday. By this
purchase the government acquired the
right to the district between Texas and
California.
The Texas territory had been won by the
Mexican War, the outcome of the conflict
also having decided the right of the United
States to California. The possession of
New Mexico by the Mexicans in the district
between the two great States presaged
future trouble unless some provision was
made for it. With admirable foresight the
Democratic Administration Of James K.
Polk set about negotiating for its purchase
Immediately after the Mexican War, maxi
ing its sale practically one of the provis-
ions of the war settlement. With the ex-
ception of the later purchase of Alaska in
1867 the purchase of New Mexico closed
the land purchases made by the American
government on this continent and rounded
out the territory acquired by the Louisiana
purchase half century before.
