On Saturday night Hroadstreet's grocery etore at the corner of Washington and Water streets was chosen as a point of attack by the enterprising burglars which strike our citv periodically. The method

I dented one inasmuch as every criminal and civil suit, wherein the parties stood trial, the jury has decided in favor of the defendant, and no case has kept the jury in the jury room over one hour.” Such a jury might be found here at next term and we believe it would be an inno vation that would be joyfully hailed by both tax payers and court otlicials.

Judge McGhegoh, at Hrazil. has a splendid jury at this term of court. The jury enjoys the distinction of being a model in its despatch of business. The Hrazil Time* says: “There is no bicker ing no long speeches in the jury room fo" the purpose of hearing onesself talk and no haggling over minor points for the sake of protracting the case and increasing the salary of the jurors.

The Banner Times sees no need of any rule from Rome forbidding Catholics belonging to the Knights of Pythias order. It is well known in all secret orders that when a man joins them he is assured that nothing in the order will conflict with his political or religious views. A compact is made to this effect that is as binding as any church obligatiou he could assume. We believe some misinformation has been sent to the pope at Rome on this question that will be regulated when Satolli’s message recommending that the pope’s order be recinded is received at the Vatican. The fact that many Knights ot Pythias are refusing to obey the order shows that the question is being thoroughly agitated over the country.

The Genuine Merit Of Hood’s Sarsaparilla wins friends wherever it is fairly and honestly tried. To have perfect health, you must have pure blood, and the best way to have pure blood is to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the best blood piiritler and strength builder. It expels all taint of scrofula, suit rheum and all other humors, and at the same time builds up the whole system. Hood's pills are prompt and efficient. Ti cents.

San Diego, California, 1893.

burglar number one from his confinement. Burglar number two remained outside to watch, and he did a good job. Frank and Guy Burk were coming down street about 11:10, and the burglar on watch recognizing them, smashed the front window of the store to warn his pal. Conrad Gautier joined the Burk boys, and then a chase began which took in the surrounding streets and most of north Greencastle and part of Durham’s woods. The pursuers had no weapons, thougli they made a bluff at the fellows, and were very close to them at various times. They sent word to Policeman Ashley, who assisted in the chase and subsequent search at the north end. Experience has proved, however, that when a burglar gets as far as the north depot with swag he always manages to get away with it. A better move would have been to have warmd Marshal Starr, and then that otlicer would have taken a horse and buggy and driven east of the city and surrounded the fel-

lows.

Jt seems the burglars had made arrangements to carry off a large amount of goods. They had loaded a valise full of knives and other valuables, but that was left in the store in their hurried flight. Mr. Broadstreet estimates his loss at fifteen dollars, mostly in cutlery, cigars and tobacco. The burglars ran north on Water street, thence west on Franklin, thence north on College avenue, thence to Durham’s woods, where they sorted out their plunder. Various articles were scattered all along the line march. The boys made a plucky chase, but erred in not going after

the marshal.

Divorce Suit ConiproiniMeo.

The suit of Rosa Hirt vs. Alfred Hirt, for divorce, has been compromised. The agreement was reached on Saturday. The case will be tried on Wednesday at Brazil, where it was taken oq a change ot venue. By the terms of the agreement the plaintiff. Mrs. Hirt, will on that date be given a diyorce and the custody of her two children. In addition she is to receive from the defendant five thousand dollars alimony, in addition to the allowances heretofore made her by the court, and the defendant will pay all costs, including attorneys’ fees on both sides of the case. The case is on the Clay county court calendar regularly docketed for the

above mentioned date.

bracing interests to themselves and their adjacent surroundings, but of little interest to the tourist save the Variety. About half way you come to •‘Capistrano,” a beautifully constructed station, in imitation of the old mission for wbieb it was named. Capistrano, or “San Juan” as it was called by the Franciscans, who with their leader, Padre Junipero Lera, built twtnty-one extending from San Diego (St. James) to San Francisco. Many of them are in ruins. The one at Santa Barbara being ii. the best state of preservation, and under the control of the Franciscan order, all others Jesuit. ‘‘Capistr.ma” was enclosed by an adobe wall, and the building of the same material, that being the only sort used in

that early Spanish day.

It was more pretentious than most

of them. The Homan arches and decorations were of a higher type of architecture than was known here for nearly a century later. Some years ago it was overthrown by an earthquake, and quite a Humber killed, as it was the feast of “The Immaculate Conception,” and mass was being held at the time. For years the virgin’s statue remained with the wreath and veil about the head, as it had fallen. Although in ruins, it is picturesque, and reminds one of the efforts of those early fathers towards the education and religious culture of the natives. Helen Hunt Jackson, in her “Glimpses of Three Coasts,” lias greatly revived the public interest in the history of those early settlements of California. In a few moments you are whirled along, and suddenly—the grand old Pacific bursts upon >our view, ever restless and surging. The tide was coming in, and the waves rolled up almost UDon the car wheels, as if running a race with that mighty rival, the steam engine. For miles you are scarcely out of sight of tlnr ocean until nearing San Diego. You suddenly dash into the mountains, through dark caverns, on defiles made by dynamite; or over yawning chasms with only a slender bar of iron between the onnish-

ing train and the abyss below. After a ride of four hours you reach

of j San Diego. Here you miss the bustle of most railway stations, and almost feel that yon have come to the end. But not so, you can continue down to Nation City by rail or by carriage go into all narts of the country, or by steamer to Mexico or to any part of the world.

San Diego has greatly improved

since ’89, despite all the hindrances by tiie collapsing of the boom at that time. Tile hills are being built up, and rents are high. The court house is a fire building with pretty grounds. Theie are also many fine private residences. The old Spanish element is giving way to tiie resident of Ne » England, middle or southern states, and even from many parts of Europe, also England. “Florence Heignt,” a suburb, a few years ago, embraced but few houses, is now compactly built up, and Hotel Flor-

An electric car passes every few minutes taking you miles beyond, where you have an entire view of “Mission Valley,” and the remains of the first of those early missions. It has been repaired and is now used as a governmeiu Indian school. There are a number of excellent hotels in the city proper, among them “The Brewster,” “Horton,” “Albemarle” and others, always ready for the accommodation of the many people tleeing from our northern winters, some, simply for a few months, the fortunate many coming to stay. There is a great deal of building, an indication of thrift. Two of Gen. Grant’s sons have tine residences upon “Florence Heights,’’ and also own fine property in the principal part of the city, upon which good business blocks are being erected. The Sprcckles Co. have a large ware house and wharf at which vessels are continually unloading coal from Mexico and Australia, cement from Liverpool, and lumber from Oregon and all northern Pacific points. The Sante Fe also lias a large wharf where an extensive traffic is carried on, the material being conveyed to all interior places by teams, and through tiie lines of the Cal. Southern, a branch of tiie Sante Fe. Steamers are continually coming and going in the interests of tiie passenger traffic ail along the coast, from Mexico to Victoria. The public schools of San Diego are a source of pride. Teachers command tiie highest salaries. The requirements for a certificate are of tiie most rigid character. There are excellent church 1 uildings and large congregations. A great work is going on for the improvement of the many foreigners in their midst, especially tiie Chinese. The Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian have each Sunday and night schools tor them. This city lias a great amount of private wealth, Which if used rightly, would greatly advance the interests of the community: otter attractions to strangers and improve the surrounding conn-1 try. There are here, however, some I great natural features, that will always make it a nlace of interest to the tour- j ist and citizen alike. The mountains I are always here, grand and inspiring, i and the beautiful bay. It lias alandlocked harbor of twenty-eight miles, of 1 the larges* and most secure capacity. | Vessels of the heaviest tonnage can an-| chor safely at the wharves. At times i the bay is so calm, «o blue, with the* tall musts of the vessels rising in the | clear air, and the many little fishing boats and yachts lazily lying upon tiie surface, skimming over the waves, or wildlv dashing about when the storm or wind is on. The climate so perfect! No wonder it is called “the Italy ot America." No where is such a spot to be found as the winter of ’95 lias developed. Those who have been here will verify the statement, those who have not. ought to enjoy one pleasure

| during a life time.

The rains have come and nearly gone, i all nature rejoices, and with the sun- ' shine mid flowers of all sorts blooming on all sides, it is a picture of beauty : and a charm of comfort. The air is so balmy after eig.it a. in. you can go any Where. Vegetables and fruits of all I sorts are to be had, fresh and reasonable. The day is nut distant when those in search of health, comfort and beauty will not seek southern France nor Italy but realize that within four days travel without ehange, tiie grandest of opportunities and benefits can be found, amidst the charming regions of San Diego and southern t’alifornia

The gir» of the high school class of ’94, entertained the boys of their class and their teachers at the home of Miss Susie Mathers, 400 west Liberty street, on Saturday evening from 8 to 10. They were j assisted by Misses Jennie and Bes- ! sie James. Elegant refreshments j were served in the dining room by | Misses Cullen and Hu fiord, who ■ were charmingly attired in the I class colors—salmon and sky blue, i Dainty little souvenirs were presented each guest by the Misses : James, who also favored the company with a beautiful duel. Sweet music was dispersed throughout the evening making the entertainment all the more delightful. The class enjoyed being together once more so much that they have decided to make the event an annual one, at least so long as enough members of the class can be gathered together for such a meeting. The guests departed feeling that the girls of ’94 had just the right kind of class spirit to keep their ••lass bound together with bright

and golden links.
