3 TTT-R MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1900. PORTLAND CREWS WON EVERT JUISIOR EVENT IK REGATTA. GOES TO HOME CLUB. Vaaccnyer Mokes a Flue Finish In the Junior Fours List of t Races for Today. The first day of the ninth annual meet Ins; of the North Pacific Association of Amateur Oarsmen, on which the junior races called for by the rules of tho as sociation were held, was the most suc cessful In Its history. Never beforo have the entries been so large, the weather 20 propitious and the events so keenly con tested. Early In the Afternoon the crowds began collecting on the Morrison-street and Madison-street bridges, along the docks, and at every point of vantage on the East Side. By the time the llrst race was called, it was estimated that there were 10,000 spectators eagerly scanning the course, although very little enthusi asm was shown in proportion to their numbers, considering the fact that the home crews won everything in sight in magnificent style. The first race, the Junior fours, was called on the arrival of Commodore H. E. Judge, and was won by the narrow margin of five feet by crew No. 1, of the Portlands, In the fast time of 9:05, alter a heart-breaking finish. While the Junior doubles were being called out, the free-for-all swimming race was held and was won by R. Glltzan. As they finished, the contestants In the doubles appeared with Crew No. 1 of. the Portlands considerably in the lead, with Vancouver rowing a plucky but up hill race, and crew No. 2 of the Portland Hanging on with bulldog tenacity. The corrected time was 9:18, which la exceed ingly fast for a Junior double. The next event was a very prettily con tested single canoe race, Jn which "Dick" Spinks, of Vancouver, carried off tha hon ors. He handles a canoe better than any one heretofore seen on the river, and at the close of this race treated the crowd to an exhibition of skill in upset ting his canoe, tipping the water out of it, and getting in again In remarkably short time, which brought him hearty applause. The last event on the programme was the Junior singles. In which Portland fol lowed up its succession of victories, lsll easily winning the race from Vancouver In the good time of 10:31. Wi4h the close of these events the crowds slowly dispersed, well pleajod with the first day's sports. A synopsis - of the events follows in their order: Portland "Wins Junior Fours. At 2:15 P. M. Clerk of the Course Cod ers called the Junior fours. The first to launch their shell was the James Bayn, of Victoria, B. C, closely followed by the Vancouvers, and shortly after by crews Nos. 1 and 2, of the Portlands. As ech crew left the boathouse they received a volley of cheers, as well as many wlsnes of good luck from their admirers. Owing to the easy and graceful style of he Vancouvers, and also their pretty cos tumes, it was easily seen that, next to the Portland crews, they were the favor ltes. The James Bay stroke was an en tirely new one here, being an adaptation of the stroke of the English eighth, an 3 did not seem favorably to impress "the rowing talent. The crews were soon on their way up the river to tne starting point, and few picked the Portland UfW for a winner, as their stroke was not nearly so showy, being what is known as the professional stroke, with a hard catch and long leg drive, having an easy but rapid recovery. A few of Dan Murphy s old pupils had a little spare money to put up on the event, and last night hod no reason to regret their judgment. After a few preliminaries at the start. In which the starter, Frank J. Raley, cautioned the crews, Vie command was given, "Gentlemen, are you ready?" and shortly after the pistol cracked out its signal to the crews, Portland No. 2 crew 'and the Vancouvers getting the water first, followed an instant later by crew No. 1, of the Portlands. Victoria's stroke seemed to make two or three efforts be fore finally getting his oar into the Wil lamette, but after the first rush was over' they were all fairly well bunched, with the Vancouvers slightly In the lead The stroke of Portland crew No. 1 im mediately set a hot pace of 38 strokes to the minute, and the nose of thjlr boat slowly but surely poked Its way to the front, and at the three-quarters had a small but sure lead, where the stroke was dropped to 37. About this time Van couver's bow did some erratic steering, which cost them probably some little dis tance, and. shortly after. No. 2, of the Victorias, who manipulates the rudder of their shell, did some fancy turns him self, very nearly running down the Port land No. 2 crew. From the Madlson Etreot bridge to the finish the race was one of the prettiest ever seen here, with Portland but a few feet In advance, and the Vancouver crew making a herculean effort to- get the nose of their Clasper Bhell oyer the finish line In advance. But for every spurt they made the gallant "kids" of the Portlands were with them, and. the race finished amidst the greatest excitement, with Portland five feet to the good. In the remarkably fast time of 9:03. The rowing during this raoe was exceptionally fine for junior crews, and Is the more remarkable from the fact that the Portland crew average Dut 135 pounds in weight. The James Bays fin ished about four lengths behind the Van couver crew, followed closely by Port land crew No. 2. The names of the win ners are: Haradon, bow; Munro, 2; Mor ton, 3; and Newmann, stroke. Ball and Stiles "Win Doubles. The Junior doubles came shortly after, with Ball and Stiles, and McCibe and Paterson, representing the Portlands, and Bell and Harry Alexander wearing the scarlet and white of Vancouver. As in the Junior fours, the Vancouvers vere the favorites of a great many, as their stroke was a beautifully long and even one, and Alexander seemed big and strong enough to win the race by himself, to say nothing of the fact that both he and Bell looked brown and in perfect condi tion. There was a radical difference in the stroke rowed, the Vancouvers seem, ing to lean farther back and get more power on, while the Portlands finished with their hands at the sides, shot them out quickly, and came forward sloarly on their slides for the catch. To the unini tiated the Vancouvers seemed to have a big advantage, but Captain Satzt said that the stroke of his crews Is tho re&i lar American professional stroke, and by watching closely one could see that thero was no lack of power In their finish, and 'that their recovery was easy on the men. Starter Raley had little trouble in get ting this race started, and as in the l'ret race the advantage at the start was with the Vancouver crew. At the 'juaner Ball and Stiles came up on even terms with them, and McCabe and Peterson were not far behind. From here on to the finish there was no change In the positions of the various contestants, and Ball and Stiles gradually increased their lead to nearly three lengths over Bell and Alexander, who were about the same dis tance in advance of McCabe and Peter son. All finished In good form, which is extremely complimentary, as the time of 9:18. in which the race was won, is fast enough to win a Junior double almost anywhere In the United States or Canada. In fact few of the spectators realized how fast time was made in this, as well as 'the other races. Ball Wins the Single. . In tho Junior singles Alexander was the representative of Vancouver, and Gloss and Ball wore the dark blue, light blue and white of the Portlands, which, by the way, shows up splendidly in the new rac ing uniform adopte4 by the club. The race was quickly started, and Gloss soon forged to the front, the others following closely. Ball, however, had plenty in reserve, both" in strength and reach, and after thinking the matter over decided to use a little of his surplus of the latter. The result was soon apparent, and Gloss though rowing in his usual pluckyf and snappy style, was' overhauled, and, in spite of repeated spurts, was gradually left in the rear. Alexander, rowing in a borrowed shell, was -probably somewhat handicapped, and although ho rowed well, lie could not overtake Gloss. As they came under the Madison-street .bridgo it was apparent from the Portland' boat house that their colors were again in the lead, and the members were Jubilant over the -fine showing of their representatives. Ball finished in 10:31. several lengths ahead of Gloss, who had a good lead on Alexander. It is generally thought that Gloss was somewhat handicapped by his shell, and that Ball had the ad vantage of him in this respect, dork of Course Soon Luders is to be congratulated on tho way the events were pulled off, there were no amoving waits so usual under similar circumstances. Hm efforts in keeping the course dear of small boots and launches were quite commendable and the public seemed quit wJlEng to accede to his requests. It is to be (hoped that like good order wffll be snaintahsed on the course today as it is fosghly essential' to eatery end good racing that email craft keep to the west of the buoya anchored in the stream. Ttirs ia the first association race since 1S94 that -the water has been smooth, and Portland has at lost had an opportunity to show what can be- done when tho conditions are favorable. Dick Hart promised last year chat ff the association would hold Ore races here this year toe would haye tho course ttroned" out, and he has kept his pcomSce. Through some tf&ahir to connect. Bob Insnan's whlstOe d&i not blow during the stogie race and the time Alexander took locating the logs probably accounts for Ms failure to make a victory out of de-J feat The president of the Portland Club, James McL Wood, seemed very happy during the events, but woe kept busy for a time finding out whether the shells were propetted by four oars or six. Tomorrow a 'Taos been" race will take place. Orews wflfi be corapooed of For Vancouver, Russell, Senkter, Kent and Brewster: for Portland, Coains, Stowell, Luders, Vroaland. This event promises to be the most bdtly contested of any dur ing the day, and the public may look for trouble. Ball has not decided whether be will consider a chalkmge from Ten Eycke this year or not as Sve has been unable to procure a boat, so fas with long enough slides. BlEy McLeod, the trainer of the Port land crew, was the happiest man at the boathouse over the performance of his protege's, and it is largely due to ms core that their condition was so nearly perfect He says little, but from his ac tions rt is safe to assume that he ex pects a "repeater" in the races- today. He considers the senior crew in perfect condition, with not a weak roan in the boat, and fit to row the race of their Hves. The starboard sMe is oonsfidered thestrongest as Rlntoul and Stiles make a strong combination, but Ball will ma nipulate the rudder so that a straight course is assured. Judge Vreeland. of the Bast Side Jus tice Court, was seen discharging fire arms within the rfcy limits', but as he was Judge of the flntsb it was not con sidered necessary to take him to the city bastJCe, as he promised not to re pout the offense after Wednesday, today's Events. The programme for today is as fol lows: At 10 A. M. the great race of the regatta, will be puMed off, that for the cupe and medals hung up for the senior fours.

Gladden, Recorder for Tippecanoe County, Indiana, is in Portland on a pleasure trip. This is his first visit to the Pacific Coast, and he is more than pleased with what he finds out here. He Bays, however, that he is at a loss to know what much of the country between here and the Mississippi River was made for. Ho thinks that the great piles of rocks and vast stretches of sand might have been left out, and the country would have done just as well. "It is a relief to get into Oregon." he said yesterday. "Especially does one feel refreshed when the Cascade Mountains are crossed after riding across the plains." Mr. Gladden, like all Indiana people, la a bom politician, and while enjoying the sights on the Coast does not forget to keep his eye on the political barometer. "We will carry Indiana for McKlnley by a majority this year that will make Bryan forget he was running," said he. "I know that Indiana is always consid ered doubtful, but It Is not a doubtful state this year. The people have tasted of McKlnley's prosperity and they want more of it. "Tippecanoe County, in which I live, is usually a Republican county by a small majority. Four years ago we car ried It for McKlnley by more than 1600. This year we mean to Improve upon that. Just keep it in mind, when you. hear from Indiana to the tune of several thousand majority for McKlnley, that Old Tippe canoe did her share of that." Funeral of Captain J. W. Kern. The remains of Captain J. W. Kern, who died at the home of John B. Kelly, in Philadelphia, June 2S, will arrive this morning. This will permit the arrangV ments for the funeral to be made for tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral will take place from the family residence, on Powell and East Twenty eighth streets. Interment will be in the family burial grounu, on Powell road, about half a mile east from th3 residence. Rev. Charles C Poling, of La Fayette, will conduct the services.

Cured-Frult Association Tryins; to Escape the Flve-Per-Ccnt Commission Has. The directors of the Cured Fruit Asso ciation of the Pacific Northwest held a special 'meeting yesterday In Portland. The object of the meeting was to decide upon some plan of action with reference to handling the present prune crop. According to the original agreement the association was to secure 75 per cent of the acreage of the Northwest. This It was found some time ago was very hard to do, and a letter was sent out ask ing all stockholders to agree to pool, provided 75 per cent of the growing prune crop could be secured. The answers re ceived were nearly all in favor of pro ceeding on that baalB, though many failed to answer, and the directors from Southern Oregon notified the associa tion that the prunegrowers of their lo cality would not agree to substituting 75 per cent of the crop for 75 per cent of the acreage. Other directors reported from Eastern Oregon tnat the growers generally insisted on carrying out the original agreement. In order to do this It was decided to make ono more effort to get the desired percentage of acreage between now and the 10th of August. In the event that this cannot be done, then the association proposes to formulate some other plan and go ahead handling tho crop of those who so desired it. A number of plans were discussed. Many think that the outsldo growers can be induced to come in when they have been shown tho matter in Its proper light. Others suggested that the association go ahead with its arrangements for handling the crop. If no other plan could be adopted for this year's work, to employ a man to handle it, paying him a com mission of 2 per cent or, better; a sal ary for the time he was engaged. From the general tone of the meeting it was evident that those present had no Intention of giving up the idea of get ting rid of the 5-per-cent commission man, who has heretofore handled the crop, and as some of the leading fruit growers of Oregon and Washington were among the number who favor the new methods. It Is predicted that the work of the association will be felt this year whether the deslfed acreage is controlled or not. S. B. Chase of Eugene, tendered his resignation as a director of tho associa tion and it was accepted. H. B. Dosch tendered his resignation as secretary. After trying to persuade him to withdraw it, the directors ac cepted It, and elected S. P. Kimball, of Salem, in his place. The directors will continue to mfet in Mr. Dosch's office until they have made more permanent arrangements. The financial statement showed that $235 had been collected from the stock holders and disbursed. On motion it was decided to collect the Jo subscriptions from tho remaining stockholders at once, so as to be In position to posh the work as soon as the directors shall have decided upon a plan of action tor this year. The following general plan for hand ling the crop, as soon as tho necessary signature are secured, was offered by J. P. Kimball and William Klncald: First Let tch district where thero is soffl clent fruit represented in the association to Justify a packing-bouse organize a local union and select their own manager to assist the main organization in the handling and mar keting of said fruit. Second All money received by the tale of fruits from each union will be deposited In the bank chosen by said local union, to be paid out to the members of said local union by order of the President and Secretary of the main organization and local manager. Third Grading, packing and selling to be under the direct supervision of the main or ganization, except where the members of the local organizations representing the majority of the fruit therein do not desire to accept the prtoe set by the main organization they may hold the fruit of the local union until the price is satisfactory. Fourth And as- soon as all of the fruit of any one of the local unions has been disposed of, each member thereof will receive settle ment In full. Fifth Any packing-house established by the stain organization without a local union in connection will bo managed by & man of their own selection. Sixth All packing-houses will be required to place upon each package of fruit so prepared by them their Individual label and also the main organization label; keep their own ex pense account, and settle it out of the money received by the salo of their fruits. All grow ers or associations ot growers shall assume all liability for loss or damage by fire, collection or otherwise, and pay all expenses incurred. This was unanimously adopted, after being fully discussed. Considerable ad ditional talk as to emergency plans fol lowed, and the meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the president. ONE DISCOURAGING OPINION. Nome Kot a Rich Diggings, Says an Old Miner. Whether Cape Nome is a rich mining region or a very ordinary digging, is still a question with people who have not gone thero, and every scrap of informa tion from that point Is looked for with interest. There has been a wide diverg ence in the stories told by parties re turning from Nome within the past year, some asserting that the beach la fairly yellow with gold, for a distance of 80 miles, with Capo Nome as a central point, while others have denounced It as a fake, whose 10 miles of beach dig gings were crowded with the rockers of men, whose average pay was not over 51 60. Both reports were brought by peo ple who appeared to- bo sincere, those taking the roseate side all announcing their intention to return with the melt ing snows of early Summer, while the 'hard luck" men were evidently blad to get back to their homes In "the States," which they would never leave again, on a wild goose chase. One man returned from Nome last week on the Elder, who had been mining on the Klondike for four years, until this season, when he, with three others, came down the Yukon in an open boat to St. Michael, a distance of 1700 miles, and from there he took a north-bound steamer for Cape Nome, spending three days on the beach and in the tundra until the departure of the Elder. This man, Henry Harschl, whose home is In Los Angeles, pronounces Nome an un mitigated fraud. When seen yesterday by a reporter, ho said: "There are good diggings in the entire region for about 500 men, and yet there will be probably 40,000 In tho rush there this Summer. The beach, for a distance of 10 miles, Is covered so thickly with tents that no more can be wedged In. There is no camping ground on the tundra, back from the shore, as that is simply a swamp, dotted- with 'nlgger-heads. upon which you step from one to another In travel ing. Of those engaged in rocking on the beach I saw na one making over $1 SO a day, and frequently the miners were com pelled to suspend work on account of the storms from the northwest, to which the beach is exposed. "From what I could learn of the creek diggings, back of the tundra, I should Judge that several paying claims- were in operation, but I heard of no big thing." Mr. Dorschl says he has an Interest in two placer claims near Dawson, one on Gold Run, which is in litigation, and the other a bench claim, on Eldorado, which he considers valuable property. He was up there before tho great rush of 197. and says he has "no kick coming" over the result, intimating that he has enough, If ho can succeed In selling out. after which he will be content to re main in the temperate zone. He admits that a very large proportion of the Klondike miners have -struck out for Nome, but insists that they will all be glad to get back to Dawson again, as a man can get work 'readily In the Canadian territory at 55 a day and board. He says wages at Nome thls Summer run about $1 60 an hour, but the work is not steady, and consists mostly in as sisting newcomers to movo their goods from the beach to distant, points. This work, he thinks, will not last, and he Is positive that the Nome bubble will burst within two months, and that the region will relapse into solitude again. "Men will make money hand over fist at Nome this season," he said, "but they will make it off people who have brought It with them into the country. Mqney is made rapidly In every new mining camp, while the excitement is on, as men get rich, in the first rush, on the opening of an In dian reservation, where people go wild In securing quarter sections and town sites, but the excitement lasts only a few months, and the localities relapse Into their natural quietude again. It will be the same way at Nome and thousands who have spent all they had in getting there will .regret having ever left their homes. "What makes Nome worse than the or dinary camp," he says, "Is Its bleak lo cation and absence of fuel. All cooking and- heating must be done by coal oil stoves, which at best are a poor moke- The Badge of Patriotism. ojaqAXiaAO ores no exs A9xu, pvoQ Jotptps s,o)8 orrj o uamnuoux PlpiQ.

Hundreds of men who left the state In robust health will fall vic tims to pneumonia from exposure, and to scurvy, from the use of Ill-cooked food." As Mr. Dorschl has been a miner and prospector all his life, he Is sure he knows what he Is talking about. WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. Sllsrht Improvement In the Condition of Fall Wheat. Following is the United States Depart ment of Agriculture climate and crop bulletin of the eWather Bureau, Oregon section, for tho week ending Monday, July '2: General Summary. The week has been quite cloudy and cool, although no rain occurred, except a few small showers In the northwest cor ner of the state. The maximum, or bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Oregon ranged between 62 and 2 degrees, and the minimum, or night, temperatures be tween 4 and 6 degrees. East of the Cascade' Mountains these variations were for day temperatures between CO and 92 degrees, and for night temperatures be tween 40 and G2 degrees. Some little improvement has been nbted in the condition of Fall wheat In the up per end of the Willamette "Valley, but In the northern portion of the valley It continues In a poor condition. In some localities the grain aphis Is attacking the heads, and another pest the roots of wheat, which, together with the rust so generally reported in the fields, makes the outlook for this crop very discour aging. Elsewhere throughout the state Fall wheat Is most promising, and it is ripening and filling very satisfactorily. Spring wheat Is making a good growth, and no unfavorable reports have been received regarding Its condition. Oats, barley, flax and corn are also doing nice ly, and these crops are not affected to any extent by rust or Insect pests. Some Fall wheat, rye. barley and oats have already been cut. and with favorable weather the harvesting of these crops will be general by July 10. Hops are In a very thrifty condition, and. If anything, are making too much vine. The hop lice are increasing slight ly, but they have not yet appeared to an alarming extent. Potatoes and gar dens are making rapid advancement, and new potatoes are now being marketed. The onion crop of Washington County is in an unusually promising condition. Haying Is now general, but this work has been somewhat retarded by the pre vailing cloudiness. The crop Is reported to be extra heavy in all sections. In the Columbia River "Valley the first crop of clover has been cut and secured In ex cellent condition. All kinds of berries are doing well, and blackberries and raspberries are ripen ing nicely. A heavy crop of apples of a superior quality Is now practically as sured. SHOW INCREASED PROSPERITY W Receipts of Postofflce, Internal Rev enue and Customs Increasing. Receipts at the Portland postofflce. from the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards for the month of June, 1900, amounted to $16717 74.

The German bark Bertha, a larger ves sel than the mammoth Royal Forth which loaded at Portland last season, .has been chartered to load wheat at Portland next January. The Bertha lacks but 15 tons of being 3000 tons net register, and was ori ginally the British bark Lathom. She la a steel, four-masted vessel, 324 feet long, 46 feet beam, and 25.2 feet depth of hold, and will carry over 5000 tons of. cargo. She sailed from Barry May 10, for Anjer, with a cargo of coal, and will come across the Pacific In ballast. Mention was made In this column, a Bhort time ago, of the rapid Increase In German Bhips In this trade, nearly one-fifth of last season's grain fleet from this port .flying the Ger man flag. This percentage is bound to be largely Increased this season, as out ot a total of 55 vessels listed for Portland at the present time, 14 fly the German flag, and there is one vessel of that na tionality now in the river. Many of the German ships listed are original German ships, but the greater numbed of them are vessels which have been purchased by the Germans from British owners. SO SUBSIDY J1EEDED. Merchant Marine Is Increasing; Fas ter Than Ever Before. WASHINGTON, July 3, The Treasury Department's Bureau of Navigation states that In the fiscal year of 1900 the total tonnage officially numbered, added to the United States merchant marine, amounted to 417,034 gross tons. About 33,000 tons of Hawaiian vessels and less than 1000 tons of Porto Rlcan shipping were admitted to American registry. It Is estimated that complete figures will show that the actual additions to the merchant marine fleet during 1900 have been greater than any year since 1856. The vessels built In the United States officially numbered during the year ag gregate 318,863 gross tons, a record sur passed In 1874. when 432,725 gross tons were built and documented. Of the new vessels 58 per cent are steam vessels. The most Important additions of the year have been the large steel vessels built for the Lakes. The one vessel built exclu sively for the foreign trade has been the Maracalbo, of 1771 gross tons, for the Venezuelan traffic, while three steam ships of an aggregate tonnage of over 8000 tons for the Porto Rlcan trade are the first maritime results of the annexa tion of that island". Full returns probably will show that the total documented tonnage of the United States on June 30, 1900, for the first time since 1865 has again reached 5,000,000 gross tons. The tonnage regis tered for foreign trade, however, will probably be slightly below 848,000 gross tons, the figures for June 30, 1899. The Increase of Alaskan trade, carried on mainly by registered vessels, has checked somewhat during the year the steady decline In American tonnage registered for foreign trade.

Dausrater Who Went In for Bohemlanism. Washington Post. I suppose there doesn't live a girl who hasn't at one time or other In her life been possessed of a desire to be Bo homlan. It's a frame of mind that usu ally seta In during the later 'teens or early twenties, and then there's a deal of sneering at conventionality, and rail ing at the ridiculous rules of society, and saying profoundly cynical things about dear old Mrs. Grundy. I have a girl friend who has Just oeen having a most virulent attack of that sort of thing. She caught It from some art students she had been great chums with, and the things which she has been saying would turn your hair white to hear. She ha3 learned to smoke cigarettes, and to flip the top of a beer stein open by hitting it in some mysterious way on top. She takes In a lot of ragged-looking maga zines, and she has taken to doing her hair in a wild, untidy, but unmistakably artistic fashion. Recently, when she be gan to rebel at the chaperone habit, her mother deslded that things had gone far enough, but being a woman wise in her day and generation, she lay low and said nothing, till one day Franclne It used to be Frances announced that Mlas Wild ways, the artist; was coming to dinner. "And for goodness' sake, mother," said ly common-places of existence. Miss Wlldways simply can't endure conven tionality. Let's not be banal. I want things to be a little out of the ordinary, for she'll be so dreadfully bored If they are not." Well, the day and Miss Wlldways camo. Mother was not dressed to receive her when she arrived, but mother didn't let that stop her. She ran down stairs in a kimono and greeted the guest cordially. "Don't mind my dress, my c'ar," said she. "This is Liberty Hall, and we all do as we please. It was really too much of a bore to dress. Franclne, dear, do run out and tell cook to send over for some Ice cream. I forgot to order It," Father came In a moment. He was smoking a pipe and wearing a smoking Jacket. He didn't apologize for either, but he was as Jovial as jovial could be. At dinner he calmly laid off the Jacket when he rose to carve the roast, ex plaining to Miss Wlldways that he be lieved In being comfortable instead of conventional. Mother echoed the senti ment, and, taking out a package of cigar ettes', almost forced one on the guest. Then she herself, Franclne's elegant, con ventional mother, lit one and lay back In her chair, puffing It serenely, while she sent brother Will out for a bucket of beer. It was the most agonizing dinner poor Franclne ever lived through, but It was as unconventional and as far re moved from the common-place as any thing you can Imagine. It was only a day afterward that Franclne began to pay some visits she had scorned to make for months, and she asked her mother to go with her. She has scarcely stirred out, in fact, without maternal chaperon age since that awful day, and she hasn't said Bohemian once. Franclne has learned a lesson that she will not soon forget, DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Real Estate Transfers. J. F. Wlsecarver to George A.
