MAGEE'S REPORT.
The Real Estate Market During
the Month of April.
A Very Laree Number of Sales-The Repre
sentative Transactions — Something
About the Jchnicn Estate Sales.
From advance proof-sheets of the Real Estate
Circular, published by Tbouia; Majjee, we make
■ lie following extracts:
A very heavy real estate business was done
list month. The number of tales were 696, of
the estimated value of £3,930.530, against 609
sales, of the total value of $2,776,502, In the
previous month of March. The chief call Is for
Investment — thai la, paying— property. The great
majority of such buyers wish to Invest from
$20,000 to 140,000. We nave seldom noted a
larger number of buyers for such properties.
This demand can now best be filled by shrewd
buyers who will buy property on the out
skirts, on Mission, Valencia, Flllmore, McAl
lister and f.ucli streets, build upon It, and
can thus turn it Into Income property. Land
thus Improved c-in be resold Immediately when
tenants occupy the new buildings Increased
inquiry and tendency to Increased prices are
both noticeable In the Pacific Heights region.
The half block on the norm side of Vallejo
stieet. from Webster to Fillmore, has been sold
for £65.000; the northwest corner of Pacific and
Octavla streets, with residence and lot (72:6 x
137:0) for $29,000, and the 50-vara, southwest
corner of Buchanan and Green streets, for
$15,000. Flllmore street, "between Union and
the bay, is to be laid In stone blocks at once.
That portion of Flllmore street will certainly be
a business street, and yet lots there are now
beini: offered at $1500 to $IGOO each— SCO to
$64 a foot.
Theie Is a very fine demand for lots at $2000
to $3000, between Oak, Waller, Baker and Stall
yan streets. ah outside land lots are telling at
too high prices. Except on tin ee or four of the
main avenues neai ly all of these outside land lots,
as well as the great majority of those being sold
at credit auction, sale, will be bought at much
lower prices two or four yeftrs hence. The sales
01 last month amouuUd, as we have shown, to
$3,939,530. while the mortgages reached a total
of $1,565,115. Late credit auction sales of
course are to tie credited with this un
usual Increase of real estate Indebtedness.
If this Increase continues a break In
tile market Id not far off. The noikot booms
and boomers always* has one result. If it were
possible to enact a law that no buyer could buy
a lot unless tie paid at least one-thin! of the pur
chase price down, the chief fuel of booms would
I"- at once eliminated. In Southern California
one-sixth to one-tenth cash down was the rule.
The boom rocket, with Klowtug colors, thus went
up out of sight skyward; It has since come down
as the must pro-ale ol slicks.
INCREASED DEMAND FOR MONET.
There was an excellent demand for money
last month, especially at the llibernla Hank.
The leduction by that bank of the Interest rate
from 7to 0 per cent, or say 4 V'3 per cent net 10
bin rowers, caused a very heavy Increase of ap
plications for money, with a lessened demand at
the other savlnus banks, all of which charge 7
per cent. The total number of mortgages was
4«0; value, $1,505,115. There weie 220 re
leases, value $708,031.

SO-CALLED STItKET IMPROVEMENTS.
There is no more dangerous rower conferred
upon the. Hoard of Supervisors than that in rela
tion to determining ilia limits 01 the district to
be assessed lor the payment ot damages and ex
penses of oienlng, extending or wideuiug streets.
Nor is there oue which is more outrageously
abused just now. There may be, and there is in
alino-t every Instance of tlie exercise ol this
power, gnat Injustice and wrong. "1 tie only
leruedy given Is that of Imerpo.-lnj: an objection
by any one Interested, but we all Lnow that tills
Is as delusive as it Is Impotent. Ihe Injustice of
an Ignorant cxci else of this power Is apparent
lv every case where it has been exercised,
Properly far distant from the proposed worn
Las been assessed to pay for the damages, cost
and expenses, on the ground that it is benefited.
It Is only necessary to refer to any or ihn cases
where these districts have been formed for the
truth of this. Property has been Included that
by no possibility could be benefited by what
Is called the "work of improvement," simply be
cause the limits of th ■ district have been iguo
raully and arbltiaiily »nd therefore unjustly
fixed. Take any case wheie a district has been
loimed, audit would require a man with a mi
cm-cope to ascertain wherein one-half of the
property could be benefited by the proposed
woik. It Is very evident that tiot one member of
the board could give one honest reason for Ills
act, or any other reason than "I just thought
so." But these would-be benefited lots have to
pay their share of the expenses all the same.
OKOWTII OF the CITY.
This being the year for taking the cen«ns
causes us to observe more closely the constantly
Increasing throng of people on our streets. We
aremakiug progress toward third or fourth place
among our largest cities. Our business streets
are now so crowded that it lequires the greatest
care 10 drive through them. Drivers especially
of light vehicles try lo escape collisions by taking
Hie narrow and less tiuemed streets when
driving south of Market. They thus make
Deitei time, too. Our crusslnm require officers*
to protect the pedestrian. On our streets more
and moie new faces are seen. Our business
buildings aie now built on that generous plan
»ecu in our largest Eastern cities. Our people
a:e more crowded lor living room, Hats have
theiefore become a necessity. Cable lines go
everywhere, In expectation of the rapidly
spreading population. Our Western customs
and way- aie In-coming more Eastern, and they
have ci eat need change more and more la that
diieclion.
MARKET AND SIXTEENTH STREETS SWINDLES.
Two of the very worst Jobs of all of the many
lobs perpetrated aeaiust property seem now to
be on the high road to successful accomplish
ment. The first Is the change of Hie tirade of
Maiket street from its Junction with Valencia
street southwestw.ird. This change of grade
will necessitate the chance of grade of all of the
Intersecting streets, and will be an outrage of the
grossest kind on them, without even the pretense
that they will get back a single dollar la
damages or Increase In value of their
property. Nor Is this all. Many Mar
ket-street owners have been Induced to
agree to this scheme because the contractor for
(he Job, or I.W agents, have assured them that
the value of the land on that street will thereby
be greatly increased from Valencia to Castro.
Id our best judgment, this change of (trade will
not Increase tin; value of the laud on Market
► tree! our dollar, while it will co-t, II Is said,
$22 SO per front foot. But bad as the Market
street job Is, it Is a religious scheme, In Its jus
lice and equality, compared with the extension
of Sixteenth street. An assessment district
is to - be created, and laud, as In the
case of the opcnlue of the Lacuna
survey, far distant from the street to bo opened,
«nd not in even ihe nioit remote manner bene
fited. Is to be assessed for It. Wo tickler and
more unjustifiable swindle* have been perpe
trated In municipal aOairs th.v In these cet-
ugaud street-widening schemes. If John
Bnriili should pay for a portion of the breakfast
eaten solely by Mr. Jones, because said break
las! fattened and did the said Jones much good,
then and then only should other streets pay for
the opening or wldenlug of thoroughfares from
which they will not derive one dollar In benefits.
THE JOHNSON ESTATE SALE.
In publishing the following from The Circular,
1 UK Call only does 10 as a matter of real estate
opinion and not is In any way Indorsing it:
A joss of at least $IOO,Ovo was sustain' by the
Johnson estate through Its having been sold at auc
tion. That mode or sale is a very good one for Ion;?
tines of cheap vacant lots, but valuable business
property should never be suM that way. To Illus
trate: A large and valuable list of business prop
erties. Including the American Exchange Hotel, on
Bani>oiiie street, near California. Battery at Mar
ket, Hid the corner of Washington and Davis streets,
were - sold at auction atwut live years ago.
The American Exchange was sold for CSS.UUO or
$40,000 leu than It was then worth; tlie comer of
Washington aud liavU tor 520.0U0 less man It was
then worth, and the battery-street proucrty at far
too low a price. ' The agreement made by the John
ron heirs, through their then mouthpiece, cue auc
tioneer, was broken. He promised that the heirs
woulit not attempt to overbid the buyers In the
I'robate Court. The heirs, tumuiih their lawyers,
during all or last montb, were trying to have the
Probate Court refuse to confirm the sales. Judge
Coffey did refuse, too, to confirm several of the
sales: lie. may have hail law to sustain him In these
refusals, but he certainly did. pot have justice.
The amusing part ot the proceeding has b>en
that the heirs hare tried to hare sales rejected
which they should have confirmed, and have al
lowed tales to be confirmed, without objection
which they sh<<ujd hare rejected. The two Battery
•creel properties and that on Pine, near ltattery,
were worth $60,000 at least more than they brought.
One strong proof or this Is that the property with a
much poorer liullilinK next adjoining on the south,
the most southerly Uattery-streot piece, was dis
posed of at private sale, five mouths ago, for *130.
--000, although the lot was only 50x77 In size, was
ridiculous. -
ALONG THE RAIL.
Tho Southern Pacific's Method
of Weighing Mail.
The Southern Pacific Company will com
mence to-morrow to weigh all mail received,
and continue to do so for thirty consecutive
working days. This is done once in four
years by all Pacific Coast roads, and is a
method of ascertaining the average number
of pounds of mail matter handled each
year by the railroad, and upon which is
based tlie remuneration due from the Gov
ernment for transportation.
John F. Biid, General Auditor of Receipts
for the Pullman Palace Car Company, with
headquarters iv Chicago, is expected here
Motiuay from I.os Angeles. Mr. Bird is
making a general tour of the Pacific Coast.
Messrs. lluntingtou and Towne will ar
rive to-day from Portland. Messrs. Hub
bard aud Stillmun, who were members of
this party on leaving San Francisco, re
ttirued to New York over the Northwestern
some d:iys ago.
The Bock Island excursion left yester
day with 140 people. It was a special, for
persons desiring to attend the Methodist
Church South Conference in St. Louis.
C. 11. Mills, formerly Passenger Agent of
the Wabash road, has been appointed to a
similar position with the Chicago, Atlantic
and Erie, tiie appointment to take effect
to-day.
Mr. Snedakfr of the Denver aud Rio
Grande has announced his intention of re
taining ius oilicp force in their present posi
tions. No changes will be made, as Mr.
Snedaker aoes not believe in removing effi
cient men to make vacancies for friends.
'A special excursion of twelve ears leaves
to-day over the Union Pacific for Chicago
and Eastern points. Two Los Angeles cars
will be picked up at Sacranieuto.
The date of the annual picnic of the
Southern Pacific employes has not been
fixed, but will probably be about May 25th.
As usiiiil.it will beat some point on the South
Pacific Coast Division. E. Black Ryan is
Chairman of the committee having the af
fair in charge. The other managers are
James Horsbnrgh, Juuior Vice-President;
11. A. Cmnniings, Treasurer, and J. S. Ma
cabe, Secretary.
The officials of the San Francisco and
North Pacific Coast Railway will open the
excursion season on that line next Satur
day b> sending a special train to Sebasto
pol. The excursion will, no doubt, be well
patronized, and is looked forward to with
pleasure, not only by the excursionists, but
also by the pi-ople of Sevastopol, who have
promised to welcome their visitors with a
grand barbecue. An excellent feature of
this excursion will be a trip through the
beautiful Sonoma Valley.
SIGHT-SEEING PIONEERS.
A I'leaoint Day Sp«nt In ami About the
Cily— Itu-Biti-d With Open Arm*.
Yesterday was devoted to sight-seeing by
the visiting pioneers aud their friends.
Among the many places of interest visited
in and about the city were the park and
Cliff House, the Mint, the Board of Trade,
the Mining Bureau, the Art Association
Exhibition and the viticultural headquar
ters. A number of them took a sail ou the
bay, while some went to Oakland and Ala
meila aud still otiiers drove through the
various suburbs. Several of the party made
a tour of the Chinese quarters and were
greatly interested in the curious scenes
through which they parsed. On Friday
they will he given a reception at the Masonic
Temple.
Ou Saturday inorniue they will leave for
San Jose, stopping on the way to visit the
Palo Alto University at Menlo i'ark, and
will arrive at the Hotel Vendome, San Jose,
Saturday afternoon. On Sunday they will
drive to Mount Hamilton to inspect the
great Lick Observatory and will take the
train for Sacramento on Slonday, from
which place the}' will start on their home
ward journey. They express themselves as
highly ploaaed with the reception which has
been accorded them, und will leave for h:nne
with many pleasant memories of the Cali
fornia pet.ple.
"Out of our entire party of 100," said
Captain Thoines, "tliero are but sixty-five
pioneers, the others being members of their
families and friends, and yet in all tlie re
ceptions given us no one has been excepted.
All have beeu invited, and we have been
literally received with open arni3 wherever
we have gone in California."
CAB convenience.
Another Line of Transit Added to the
Many.
The Gurney Cab Company of Oakland
has added one more to the facilities already
enjoyed in this city for transportation from
one point to another. They have estab
lished an office at 14 Montgomery street,
and will contract for service and delivery
at the following rates: One mile or leu for
one passenger, 25 cents, or five tickets for
Si; for two passengers, 50 cents; for three
or four passengers 75 cents. At these
rates no charge js made for a stop of five
minutes, but for more than that time the
rates will be 1% cents a minute, or 90 cents
an hour.
When passengers desire to engaae the
cabs by the hour, it will be 75 cents for one,
or SI for two or more. To theaters, balls
or receptions and return, one or two pas
sengers will be SI 50, and three or four
passengers will be $2. Fractions of an hour
will only be allowed after the first hour, at
the rate of 25 cents for each additional
quarter of an hour or less.
HIVAL BIDDERS.
Hpanler'i Clif-ir-imml Disposed Of alt a
Fancy Figure.
A lively bidding was made In Judge
Coffey's department yesterday for the
Kearny-street cigar-store belonging to the .
estate of Joseph Spanier. KOO3 Brothers,
tho clothiers, offered $52u0 for the fixtures,
stock and lease.
M. Woodward, a rival clothier, offered 10
per cent advauee, and the bidding con
tinued until Koos Brutlters Mad increased
their offer 7u per cent, which brought the
price of the store up to $SMO, and they be
came the purchasers at that amount.
Attorney IJeuprey informed Judge Coffey
that Woodward had offered Achille Koos
during tlie recess to withdraw from the
contest for JIOUO. Koos testified to the
truth of tlie statement, ami tha Jud^e said
that if ho couH be satisfied that \S ooilwurd
attempted such a trick he would tine him
9800.

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO. THURSDAY, MAY 1. 1890-EIGHT PAGES.
ASTRONOMICAL.
The Positions of the Planets Dnr-
ing the Month of May.
Ascertaining the Length of Say on the Planet
Mercury— Whit the Telescope Beveals.
The Southern Cross.
The planet Mercury, upon which re any
telescopes are now turned with more than
ordinary interest, is at present an evening
star, and after sunset may be seen not far
irom the northwestern horizon. In marked
contrast to the pearly whiteness of Venus,
near which it glimmers through the mists,
"the sparkling one," as it was appropri
ately named by the ancients, has a yellow
tinge, is smaller, swifter in motion and
illumines the twilight hours but for a few
successive days at each period of visi
bility. It would nut be easy to imagine a
more pleasing study than a careful observa
tion each evening of its apparent motion
during its brief visit to the western sky. If
Venus, unmistakable on account of its
size and luster, and Aldebaran, the nearest
fixed star of the first magnitude, be used as
landmarks, it will soon become evident
that Mercury is ascending toward the lat
ter until May Cth, when It maybe found
nearly in a line with it. toward the north.
After this date, having completed its up
ward range, the little planet recedes rap
idly toward the horizon, being much lower
at a corresponding hour each night, and
passing Venus on the Dili, sets in sunlight
before the month is far advanced. During its
brief appearance it exhibits varying phases,
like those of the moon, but these mani
festations of borrowed light make little
difference in its aspect to the observer not
favored with the advantages of magnifying
power. Students of astronomy may be
interested in knowing that its greatest
eastern elongation ou May Gth is 21° 18',
that it passes its descending node on the
2-d hist., and is in inferior conjunction
with the sun on the 29th.'
THE SPARKLING PLANET.
To those who see the sparkling planet at
its greatest distance from the horizon it
seems surprising that Copernicus should
have died without ever beholding the little
orb whose true position in the solar system
he was the first to understand. Probably
the heavy fogs on the banks of the Vistula,
near where lie resided, account for the de
privation. This swiftly moving orb, that
has tang tantalized astronomical gaze, send
ing forth its golden glance and then reced
ing fiom view without leaving any but
' vague conjectures as to its surface and ax
ial rotation, was at one time supposed to
turn on its axis in about twenty-four hours.'
Hut more recent obseivatious refuted this
belief and brought little hope of reliable
discovery as to its condition. The present
cause of interest is the announcement by
Schiap»relli, an. ltalian astronomer, that
various shading* are to be seen on - the sur
face similar to those exhibited by the planet
Mars, resembling divisions of laud and
water, aud that by means of those marks
Mercury lias been found to rotate on its
axis in about; eighty-eight days, the same
period iv which it revolves around the sun.
Consequently, telescopes all over the world
are how leveled on the disc in order to con
tirm or refute these venturesome theories.
When the twilight hours are past and
Mercury and Venus are lost to sight, the
observer, favored with a full view of the
starry vault of the month of M.iy, by fol
lowing the horizontal line all round will bee
a succession of interesting objects, com
mencing with the "great Orion, sinking
slowly in the west."
Sinus also sends its last gleams for the
season from the southwest, and at the end
of the month it sets in the rays of the sun.
A SOUTHEEJf COXSTELLATIOX.
The Centaur, a southern constellation,
may be seen rising east of south, but being
partly invisible to observers south of the
tropics, the fatuous Alpha Centauri, of all
the fixed stars whose distances have been
ascertained the nearest to the earth,
reserves its interesting rays for more
southerly climes. San Diego, however, is
lavored with a glimpse of the most
northerly star in the beautiful constellation
of the Southern Cross on clear nights in the
present season.
The planet Mars, of roseate hue, appears
in the southeast, and increases in apparent
size as the more swiftly moving earth over
tukes it in its course rouud the sun. By
thus qatspeeding the ruddy pianet, wo
come in view of its fully illuminated disc
May '27 tli, when it will be in opposition to
me sun, the earth being in Hue between
them, but one-third of the distance nearer
to Mars. This will be the best opportunity
that will occur lor observation of Mars
during the coming two years, as it will be
only about 43,000,000 miles distant. An-'
tares, the red-tinted star a little to the
southeast, though 'often its rival in size as
well as in hue, is at present noticeably
smaller.
Ve»!:i, the clear, white star that glistens
at dusk in the northeast, is destined at a
distant date to be the pole star of our
world, as the North pole is slowly inclin
ing In the direction of this pearly orb. It
scarcely has its peer in brightness, though
many other stars of first magnitude are su
perior in size; for instance Arcturus, seen
at the same hour directly east of the zenith.
Cassiopeia, the name of the stellar group
in which a brilliant new star christened, on
imperfect evidence, "The Star of Bethle
hem" is sooni expected to reappear, may be
seen during the evening hours spangling
the northern mists close to the horizon. It
is not supposed that a modern stellar crea
tion is about to illuminate the group; but
that a temporary and periodic outburst of
luminosity from a faint orb that sinks to
Invisibility for centuries will be due in the
near future.' This grovp completes the cir
cuit of observation near the horizon.
Higher on the starry vault, Capella In the
northwest, Gemini, The Twins, midway,
Procyon southwest and Kegulus near the
meridian still glimmer in the western heav
ens; while in tin. east the pale gleam of
Spica is seen some distance upward from
Mars and in striking contrast to its roseate
tint. ■
SANBUKN O.N THE STAND.
The Ex-Pntent A L ->in Has a
ou-ly Had. Memory-
Clarence Sanborn, who was indicted by
the United States Grand Jury last year for
using the mails for improper purposes,
occupied the witness-stand in Judge Hoff
man's court-room all day yesterday, lie
proved to be a very foxy subject, with some
skill in dodging questions and a marvel
ously bad memory.
Circulars which he had sent to the East
soliciting business were produced, but he
whs not able to say that the signatures
were his. lie had been doing the patent
agency business for several years, but had
managed to get along without keeping
accounts — a fact that he explained by say
ing that he had kept all his letters and
contracts on file and turned to them when
ever it was necessary to ascertain the status
of a particular case.
- In his circular* he agreed to advertise for
the sale of tile patents placed in his charge
in 120 Coast papers, but he could not give
tho name of. one in which an advertisement
had appeared. His' ignorance on tins point
he explained by saying that he had had the
advertising done by a newspaper union.
Nor could he remember tin name of more
than one person, a resident of this city,
who had ever called at his office on business
connected with the sale of patents, nor
could he think where he had his circulars
printed.
At 4 o'clock the further trial was con
tinued until this morning.

Chairman Wheelan and Supervisors El

mittee of the Board of Supervisors, met
yesterday afternoon and listened to the
protest of about half a hundred retail meat

AN UNWARRANTED CHARGE.
Oatrageons Arrest of Two Citizens—Dis
missed in Court.
Judge Joachimsen dismissed the charge
of robbery yesterday against James W.
Coffroth, Secretary of the Judges of the
Superior Court, and George W. Kobe, a
book-keeper, on motion of Prosecuting At
torney Long.
A ridiculous story was told by T. E.
Cowell of 1517 Ellis street, who caused the
young men to be arrested. He accused them
of stealing his silver watch and 70 cents
from him, but admitted that they left $75
iv his pockets. -While "uuconscious, after
being sandbagged," he distinguished their
voices, and consequently identified the re
spectable citizens as robbers.
The defendauts saw Cowell fighting with
"Big" Murphy on the street, and went to
separate them. This was all they knew
about the affair until arrested.
Judges Levy, Lawler, lluut and Coffey
testified to the good character of CniTrotb.
Then tlie Prosecuting Attorney asked to
have the charge dismissed, and remarked
he was sorry that thu law could nut reach
Cowell for making such a grave aud unwar
rantable charge.
SCARCE PAMPANO.
A Falling Off in the Supply of
"Butter Fish."
Sweet Water Perch and Barraoouda Not Over-
abundant- Too Much Salmon in
the Market.
"Where am I going to get my pampano
if this sort of thing keeps up?" is the ques
tion that is just now bothering the minds of
leading caterers and restcuraut-keepers.
Of course, there are seasons and seasons,
and just now 11 is betwixt aud between the
off and the on. Still, there are growing
yearly indications that the steady placing
of this pet fish dainty on the bills of fare,
even in tiie supposed season, will be a pretty
risky experiment So, connoisseurs, be
ware J Ijlke the oolahan, tho "candle fish"
of the Indian, the choicest fish morsel of
northern neighbors in British Columbia,
it is a favorite that, at its appointed time, is
supposed to appear on every well-regulated
table with the clockwork punctuality of a
tidal wave or there is disappointment.
" What are the prospects for a good pam
pano season this year?" was the question
put to a leading wholesale dealer in the fish
line.
"Well, all 1 hope and pray is It will be
reasonably good. I'm just now done to
death with inquiries for pampauo. Yes, if
I could guarantee tin* tilling of orders cus
tomers would go down on their knees for
the privilege of filing them with me six
months ahead at any figure 1 chose to name.
Just now, wholesale, the first lot I've Hand
led for some time this morning, the price is
SI 5'J, which means a retail value of at least
fc- ~m a pound.
ONCE WOBTO NOTHING.
"That's big money. Yet ten years ago
these pampano, or, as they call them in the
East, the "butter fisti," were comparatively
speaking worth notbiug. You could
scarcely give them away. Even now half
the people don't know them when they see
them. The principal, I may almost say
the only pampano filling erounds are at
Camp Capitola and at Santa Cruz, aud be
ing only four hours distant by rail the tish
loses mine of its freshness in transit. I i-t
year they were scarcer than for some time.
How this season will pan out X can't tell.
"Three years ago they were as plentiful
as you ('lease. They've the same queer, ec
ceucric ideas in the matter of 'running' as
the salmon. As you have spen yourself the
salmon ou tilt Frazer and Columbia livers
will ruu, some seasons, till they can run no
longer, while iv others you may whistle for
a sight of one. The pampano's season is
summer— when he deigns to have one.
Here's one of my regular pampano fisher's
accounts:
"Just run your eye down that! Some
times he makes » fair haul, and then you'll
notice a skip and n gap of entries for eight,
ten or twelve weeks. Yet he's fishing hard
all thn time. It's just luck! How mauv to
the pound? Well, take seine-hauled "fish
of small variety and you can safely lump
them at about live to the pound. Tak« the
drift-hauled— well, they'll run two to the
pound.
OTHER FISH AltE SCARCE.
"No. I'ainpano's are not the only scarce
fish just now. Barracouda, for example, are
as scarce as they \yell can be at 10 cents per
pound. Now, with these again last year
there was a big run. Why, w« were liter
ally throwing them away. For three years
previously again they were scarce, very
scarce. Just shows the eccentricities of his
fish-ship, doesn't it ? Sea bass, ton, last
year we could scarcely give away, and from
present signs I don't know but what they
are going to be as cheap and pleutilul this
year.
"The whole truth is, there's too much
salmon cuiniut: forward. I'm simply speak
ing now from a whnlfsale fish-dealer's
standpoint. Salmon bosses thu market.
Cheap, plentiful salmon aud the smaller
fry liave got to come down with a run.
Now, too, wliilo salt-water perch are very
plentiful, sweet-water i erch is as scarce as
an hunest man. i trace a lot of this scarcity
to the drying up of the Tulare Lake. I used
to get tons from there; vow they are grow
ing peaches instead of perches, I guess."

THEY CLUB.
-A. Novel Wuyto Promote
Health.
We havo heard of parties dabbing .to get de-
creased rates on newspapers, but It is a new thing
for people to apply that principle In the pursuit of
health. Yet that Is now being done In many places
In the State. H. C. Thomas of llakersfleld writes
from the liutna Vista Lake Reservoir Store: .
"We take Joy's Vegetable Sarxaparllla down this
way for almost everything. In fact several of us
buy ours together to get the reduced price. The Mot
weather of the valleys very soon suggests the need
of a general system regulator to divert the tendency
towards biliousness and malarious conditions. ' Wo
have found Joy's Vegetable preparation especially
valuable, since It has a perfect laxative action that
the other general remedies do nut have, besides,
being purely vegetable it Is much more palatable
and agreeable to the taste than the potash Sarsa-
parlllas. ■ Joy's Is very popular here, two to one
more being sold than of any other. I religiously
take my dose every morning as a bracer. It Is a
great tht 1 for hot climates to keep the system reg- I
ular and under control." ... . - -
V Joy's Vegetable sarsaparlila is an almost certain
peclflc for the « mall Ills of the masses that result
from derangements of the stomach 'ana digestive
organs. ."' / ■ • /: , ■■■ -■ -■ ■; ."""■* -■ ;■

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE HOWARD MEDICAL INSTITUTE
WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1858 FOR THE CURE
"of nervous diseases and also for chronic com-
plaints and for the suppression of outrageous quack
cry.
The proprietors are physicians who have the
highest type of medical educations, having had a
▼try extensive practice running back for forty-five
years, and having a knowledge far In advance of the
generality of the profession. We are not tied down
by any effete or hide-bound code of ethics In medi-
cine, but cull from all systems the best and most
effectual In the cure of human ills.
With minds matured and enriched by long prac-
tice and studies of an advanced order, also by an ex-
tensive hospital practice, we are enabled to Insure
a speedy aud permanent cure of any case we may
undertake. »
It Is not necessary to enumerate the diseases to
which we give special attention. It Is also impos-
sible to enumerate the thousands of people who are
to-day suffering from the indiscretions of earlier
life, and who have terrible poison still running in
their veins. Reader, if you have ever had a reason
to believe that a terrible poison has entered your
system, no matter what form It may have at first
developed, call at once and we will tell you If it Is
still lurking In your system. It will cost you noth-
ing to be examined and may save you a treat deal
of suffering and sorrow, maybe an untimely grave.
Only a!few months since a party called; he would
not take the advice offered at the Institute; he
doubted the statement of tao physician. To-day he
Is In God's acre at Laurel Hill. Take warning by
his fate, and If you have reason to feel that the
poison may be In your system seek advice at once.
Ladies— We thoroughly understand the complaints
Incident to your delicate organizations and can
warrant you rapid relief and certain cure as the
case may require; you may rest assured of honor-
able and scientific treatment.
Our female monthly remedies are superior; they
never fall of the desired effect.
