HttU Fraiiels?o, ('til., July 25.-- \Vo " 1 1 1 Vi tl 111 Han Fraiu U o last night, l?*a vlng I .< >m Angeles the day hrfuiv mid stopping over night at Hanta Cruse, in order to see (he California l(ed v^tkxl trees, oh IIvhJ tlu? "illg Treea." Shortly after leaving I.o* A ugcles V6 passed through thi' Luther Hurl. auk pro|HTty, where wo say many unusual HjKH'imea* ?>f iiowern and fruits. we pawned (^rougu Held Hftor field of al firtfa and Lima ' beans, the latter ai> pa rent ly lielng mole abundant than other crops, Oqr route also lay through Knglish walnut, orange, lemon and ! |M?aeh groves. Some of the Xrult*, es pecially the lemons, hear the year round, there being blooms and matur ed fruit on the same hoes. We notic ed an advertisement of a farm which read : "Karly vegetables and late lem ons," The alfalfa Is apparently fine In California. It Hells, I am Informed, at $H per ton and yet we imy some thing like $20 for It In the Kast. Af ter passing through a fine fruit coun try we began to approach the coast range of the Hlerra Mad re mountains, I noticed before we Itegan the ascent) ; on a sigu board we passed, that the i elevation above sea level was 200 feet, but when we reached the (Spp we were at an elevation of 1,500 feet. The#a? 1 cent of these mountains by the cars reminded me of the climb I once made J on the Clinch field road from Marlon, N. C., to Alta Pass. The train made several distinct loops and It took three engines to pull It. On the entire trip from Los Angeles we passed through i20 tunnels, some of them being a mile anil a half in length. We traveled for hundreds of miles right along the Pa cific ocean, sometimes being as near to the water as 100 feet. Parallel with f. . '<? t . the railroad track are fine asphalt roads, along which countless automo biles were si>eedlng. I took a dip in the Pacific ocean at Santa Cruz, where we Kpent the night, hut did not enjoy it so much us the water was too cold- After leaving Sabta Cruz we passed through a re gion fine from a scenic standpoint. One canyon we saw is very celebrated. The mammoth California redwood trees at "Big Tree" station, where we left the train to see these wonders, *are celebrated the world over and Justly so, for no one can get the faintest idea of their immensity until they see them, l^he largest is called "The Giant." . It 381 feet high originally but a wind, -storm broke off 65 fe,et of the top* but it still stands the ?'monarch of the forest" at a height of. 806 feet. .. It In 65 feet in circumference and 22 feet in diameter. Another is the Cathe dral, which is 300 feet in height and 110 feet iu circumference. This tree stands in, the center of group of 17 other smaller trees, all of which sprang from its roots. The Redwoods are classed as males and females. The mfcles like the "Gen. Grant," send up no shoots from their roots. The fe male tree, on the other hand, repro duces other trees from Its rooms. Oth er notable trees are the l^cKinley, Ilnrrison, RooSevelt, Bryan, Sherman, besides many other notables. One pe culiarity about these trees, is their longevity, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 years. From the largest 482, 000 fee* of lumber C9uld be cut. One of the trees is named for Gen. FremofijW known as the 'Tathflnder of the E efcjP Mountains," and has been hollowed out by the decay of its heart so that 25 persons cfin easily get inside. The tree has been in this condition, it is said, for hundreds of years. General Freemont had his headquarters in the hollow of the tree in 1846, when in Service in the United States army de fending California during the Mexican war. There is nothing to divert one from the sight of the trcfes at Big Tree station for there is nothing there but the trees and ? the railway station, It hT a beautiful shady place. /The San Ixirenzo river, a small stream, winds around through the forest making it very picturesque. Otf the whole, pext to the Grand Canyoit of Arizona this was the most wonderful sight we have seen thus far. We can understand now why Cali fornia is called "Golden," because of the predominating color of things glv ??n by the grain at harvest time. It }vas a unique experience looking from the cafr wlndo\v with the tall moun tains on one side of the train, a short distance away, and on the other, the ocean. Before reaching San Francisco we passed through the rich Santa Clara fruit country. Apricots, prune*, onions and peaches seem to. be the principal products. We passed through Palo Alt^the seat of the Iceland Stan ford university located in the famous Santa Clara valley.

The State of Houth Carolina ban paid Dr. Williams no more than the salary specified in the act. (Jovernor Manuing knows it would require no ordinary maty to reorganize, revivify and rehumanize the state hoapital. Dr. Williams was not an applicant for the place. Ilia private practice wax pay ing him more Jhan lie la now receiv ing. And iti giving up that practice he removed himself from bin profes sion, and when In the course of time he may wish to return it will not be readily that he will pick up the clien tele that he threw away to come to the call of the state of Houth Carolina.' And for what end? To be abutted by tl great many |>eople who conduct them selves as if they should lie, under hUt oil tela I Ciye.' The Charleston Medical college pays lecturers for al>out nine months of ,eaH.v work salaries ranging as high as $4,000 a year; there are numerous phy slcfans In South Carolina earning*more than $10,000 a year. Railroads and other corporations in this state pay mere attorneys handsome salaries for looking after their business and pro tecting them from "ambulance chasers." Governor Manning, realizing the pe nuriousnesH of the state, which de mands the best service of her- sons and gives but poor recomjwnse, called this young man to the colors ? and Fred Williams is making good. He will ' j earn, has already earned, hi paltry dollars and cents more by far than his salary, and he is starting a revolution for the sake of humanity, j>erhaps for] the' saving of souls as well as, of bo I les and minds. And it was not the state's money, which Governor Manning agreed to pay to I>r. Williams. It is the per sonal-fund of It. I. Manning, accumu lated through a life of common sense and business foresight, combined with, activity, honesty, fair dealing ant^ clean living. He saw the wretched ness, the suffering, the degradation of the inmates of th4 state hospital, and his heart was wrung. He determined that their sufferings should be alle viated if it were within his power to accomplish it It is a great straining of the Eng lish language to say that Governor Manning has broken the laws of South Carolina in this instance. If this be the measure by which his administra tion is to be gauged, we think the peo ple of South Carolina should rise and shout the long meter doxology in praise and thankfulness. But there are other credits opposite his name. South Carolina will be a better state ..for Richard I. Manning having been governor. f The state hospital will be a better institution for C. Fred Williams hav ing been superintendent The people of South Carolina will l>e a better people for showing more of humanity to the mentally distracted who have been treated so ill, even as criminals. No law has been broken., A lot of IK'ople are disappointed because Gov-, ernor Manning is keeping campaign promises, or striving manfully to do so. aud because the administration is making good lit real achievement ? and that is about all there Is in the cane. ?

Chapman.) *' <Joiug to bury youraulf iu a dead country ? village?" asked Benjamin Rudd. alias liurglar lien. "It'a a shame, Mi Wilton! I'm of a discredited sort, but I'm your friend for what you've done for me, and I aay It'a a ahaiue to aee a man of your talent throw up the chance of a lifetime." "Why. I've demonstrated some abil ity aa a lawyer, haven't IT" challenged Adrian Wlltoo In Ma smiling, con tented way. "1 ahould aay so!" cried his client enthusiastically. "The papers have been full of it. 'Rlalng young crimiual lawyer of the day!' All yOu've got to ao la to take a big- office here In the city and the clients will flock to you. That'a your line. Didn't you clear me, with five of the beat attorneys Iu the olty on the other aide?" "That waa becauae you were Inno cent. Ben," reminded Adrian. MFor once ? by accident!" retorted the ex-burglar with a chuckle. "Any how, it gave me a scare ahd I've re formed square and straight." At all events Adrian bade good -by to hi* grateful and would-be helpful Client and returned to Fordham Yes, the town had heard of hla splendid record in the city, Nellie Wade es pecially, who ha& ahown the newspa per clippings to all her friends. The town, however, had half a score ?of veteran attorneys, lock-rooted in the estimation of the people. One morning Fordham awoke to the eenaatlon of a half century. A skill ful burglar had broken Into the local bank at midnight Bllla of a large de nomination representing $40,000 had been taken. There waa no definite clue to the. robber or the money. At the end of a week, however, the county sheriff received a . mysterious tip by telegraph. It told him that the telltale handkerchief bearing the initial "R" and a falae beard found in the bank belonged to a certain Ben* Jamln Rudd and named his residence. It further stated that a Fordham res taurant keeper, if confronted with the burglar, would recognise him as a stranger with a mysterious satchel ' whom he had seen the evening of the burglary. Adrian Wilton lost a good deal of hla faith in the reformatory process as appertaining to Burglar Ben, when the next morning he was sent for by Rudd. The latter grinned at him be hind strong iron bars.^ "Why, Ben," spoke the young law yer, "you have fallen from grace, It seems." "Not the man!" decla&d Rudd posi tively. "I hire yon to defend me. Get to work and make a record for your self." V BURGLAR m BOOSTS By WALTER J. DELANEY. -""Burglar Ben practically directed the case. He dictated- the policy to pur* sue. Adrian waa amazed at his clear and forcible outline of evidence. When .the ease came on, both |ils wife and Child, a golden-haired little cherub of eight years, were in the court room.. . Adrian made good use of the evi? dence ' at his command. He proved that the false beard, worn by any. body, would so obscure the natural features that later positive identifi cation would be dii?flt. He showed that the initialed handkerchief might have eom?~ accidentally Into the pos> session of some of Ben's former crim inal associates. Then little Sura was placed on the stand. The date at which the bank robbery was commit ted was her birthday. Her father was at home, ,200 miles away, when the crime was committed. For all this, the hard-faced farmers on the jury looked grim and preju diced. It was then that Adrian came out in full force. He depicted the former life, the reformation of his client He described his changed fam ily life. He pointed to the weeping wife, to the innocent little child. Oratory, eloquence, sentiment ? he swayed the audience with a mastei hand. Women were weeping, strong men looked grave and sympathetic. The thrilling appeal moved every heart. After five minutes deliberation the jury returned its verdict ? "Not^fculltyl" That evening, JUL. jyutJ^KBLJlotel, Burglar Ben appeared at Adrian's room. "Can T ever be tried again for this burglary?" be asked. fefo," answered ' Adrian.
