Washington, July o.—The Comptrol- ler of the Currency has sent a letter to Bank Examiner Drew of Philadelphia dismissing him from service, tho depart- ment having lost confidence in him. The correspondence relative to the dis- missal was made public to-day. On June 29th Comptroller Lacey wrote to Drew, calling his attention to the fact that in the report of January 24th, as to tho condition of the Keystone Bank, Drew has omitted completely to mention the indebtedness of the bank to the Clear- ing-house of $544,851, for which notes and bills amounting to §720,308 were pledged as security. l>rew, under date of June 30th, re- Bponded that his failure to mention this amount was clearly an accident. He did not include it in the regular report, in- tending to make it tho subject of a special note. Tho correspondence also touches on >ther points, and ends with a letter to Drew from Comptroller Lacey, under late of July lid, informing the examiner \u2666.hat so important an omission, after fif- teen days' examination of the bank, i^ not consistent with the confidence which must be reposed by the department in the reports of examiners, and calling for Drew's resignation.

Valuable Information Evolved From the X,ate Seance of the French Academy of Medicine—He Wise In Time. At a late seance of tho Academy of Medicine, Paris, Iff. Olivier drew attention of members to the risk incurred in using cow's milk. The following resume of this interesting paper we condense from the New York Herald, and which will, without doubt, be useful to the people in general by enabling them to steer clear of a danger to which they are exposed every day and in every land. The substance of Bf. Olivier's paper is about the follow- ing: ''Two of my confreres did mo the honor to call me to Chartres to see a case of tu- bercalar meningitis in a young woman twenty yoara of age, who, I regret to say, died a few hours later. Qn inquiry 1 found that her parents were healthy In every respect, and that the girl herself had never shown any signs ofdisease be- yond a few symptoms of chloroatmeniia. Nothing- in her hereditary or personal antecedents could be found to explain tii. origin of the complaint, and the hy- gienic conditions with which she was Burronnded wore irreproachable, one very important point drew our attention. however—the patient liad been educated in .1 boarding school in ( 'hartres in which thirteen scholars had been striked suc- cessively or simultaneously with tuber- culosis during the preceding four years, and this was evidently where she had caught the disease. "Researches were instituted to find out the reason for this succession of cases, and some information derived from the slaughter house atChartres placed the matter in a most Interesting light. On ihat day the veterinary inspector had had occasion to forbid the sale of a cow nine or ten years old, which seemed to be in good condition and which had been killed that morning, it w:.s found that tuberculosis had invaded this animal through and through in all its viscera. Now this cow had been brought every day to the convent to bo milked, and this milk had boob used by the inmates. "A report of this epidemic was sen! i>y M. Boutet, Mayor of Chartres, to the Pre- fect of Eure-et-Loir department. This report specifies thai the cow's udder was completely tubercular. "We know what has already happened, but we do not know what may still occur. Will the younggixl with tubercular mmm • gitisbethe last victim? There- isa terrible uncertainty about this matter, as there is no doubt but that other children con- sumed the bacilli as well—those who have already fallen victims to them. Let us hope that their systems will prove re- fractory. "Hygienists can but draw the follow- ing conclusion from these facts and re- peat it uneea,sin~ly: Milk must always bo boiled; it is impossible to be sure that it does not contain bacilli, even when there is every reason for thinking that its quality is excellent." This paper gave rise to a discussion, in which several members of the academy took part, and during which was heard related the following case, which gives still greater force to M. Olivier'a conelu- sk ins. The following is a resume of what M. Nocard lias to say: "When the discussion as to the trans- missibility oftuberculosis was going on I mentioned live or six cases bearing on this question. It will not bo necessary for me to repeat them, but I concluded as follows: All milk coming from an unknown source should be boiled before being used. To-day, howeyer, I will change my formula and say that milk must always be boiled, no matter where it comes from, and for the following rea- son: "A well-known cattle-raiser sent me a short time ago the lymphatic glands of a very fine calf which had seemed to be per- fectly healthy. On examining them, however, they were found to be abso- lutely filled with tubercles. Now, this calf had had nothing to eat but its mother's milk, water and cornmeai. I there- fore decided that its mother must be in- fected. I wrote to request that at her death her udder should be sent to me. This was done, and I found it completely tuberculous. "The cow was a magnificent animal, raised on the premises, and of which the owners were very proud. She had gained several prizes at shows, and her health seemed irreproachable. If a friend of this man had come with his children to spend a few days at his place he would have given them this milk as the best he had, and not boiled—it would have been a massacre! It is quite possible that all of th( se children would have beenatfeeted with tuberculosis. "It is therefore plain that we must not ' trust too much to the apparent good con- \ dition of health of cows, and nowadays! our formula must read as follows: Never i drink any milk without first boiling it. "These facts need no commentary, and this practical advice should bo followed I by every mother In the future. "Ithas long been known that fatigue ' and overwork have a marked influence on the outbreak of epidemics, but whereas some considered that these two factors have a direct action on their appearance, others again thought thut they only less- j ened the resistance of individuals and fa- vored in this way the action of morbid genus. Some ingenious and conclusive experiments, which were laid betore the Society of Biology of Paris a few months ago have placed the latter hypothesis on a solid basis." The practicality-of the above from a hygienic standpoint is, know that your cows arc- healthy before you use the milk unboiled. Wnytmboiled? The heat of ±Yl° Fahrnheit will kill all living germs.

The Hebrew 'Journal publishes a long list <>f Jewish institutions in New York City. The list includes thirty places of worship, twenty charitable institution!*, eight bonoiit societies and seven clubs and libraries. According to the Hebrew Journal, 108,000 Russian Jews have come to New York City, a number which, it says, is equal to the rest of tho Jewish population here. By these estimates, then- must be about 300,000 Jews in the city; but perhaps the estimates are too high. The Longest River. Measured in this way. the Mississippi is 4,100 miles long, and the Amazon 4,000. Figures varying slightly from these aro sometimes given, but geographers are pretty well agreed that tho Mississippi is between 100 and 200 miles the longer. The Amazon, however, leads in the area drained and the volume of the water carried. Trained Dogs. The value of dogs is recognized in the German army. Their use as camp watch- ers is encourage*! and they will be trained to hunt up the wounded hidden in the woods and fields after battles. \yoll trained dogs might be of great as- sistance in sentinel duty, and an en- camped army with good canine outposts would not easily be surprised. Boils and Pimples and other affections arising from impure blood may appear at this season when the blood*ia heated.

FOR THB INTERIOR OF CALIFORNIA the RECORD-UNION is the best to adver- tise in. i GAPAY WE \u25a0 Busy Fruit-Growers in a Pretty Yolo Valley—Tancred and Iv Adjoining Farms. YN THE SttITNQ OP LAST TEAR Robert A. and Neal D. Barker associated themselves v.lth William McKay, all or Oak- land, with a view of searching out a sulUblt location In which to engage In the profitable occupation of fruit-growing. After visiting many localities, they decidod on the Capay Valley, Yolo County, and tho Rhodes tract at Tancred. Negotiations wore opened with the Capay Valley Land Company, owning the tract in Question. With W. H. Mills, the General Agent of that company, they arranged for tha purchase of about 220 acres of foothill :an<L This being more than they had thought of taking for their own use, they spoke to a number of frieuds about it, with the result that the tract was divided among the follow ing people: B. L. Hlckok, 40 acres; W. T. Barnett, 20 acres; N. T. Greathead, 20 acres; Mrs. L. Greathead, 20 acres; W. McKay, 20 acres; N. D. Barker, 20 acres; R. A. Barker, £0 acres; J. P. Brownlee, 20 acres; E. H. Haa- lett, 10 acres; Joseph Barker, 10 acres; A. W. Kelly, 10 »wres. and Frederick Kelly, 1Oacres. So far this had been merely a private ven- ture of the gentlemen above named, but. in talking up the question of dividing the 1/ind already purchased, it was found that so rtany more would like to Join it than the area of tha purchase would admit of. that it was sng- gested on all hands, "Why not get some more land and divide it up in the same way?" Tnen followed the idea of a stock company to take hold of a Larger tract and arrapge for the cultivation of tho whoieof It, after subdividing It according to the roquireiuent* of the sub- scribers. A provisional board \ras formed, a prospectus issued, and tlnally.on the sth or June, 1890, the Western Cooperative Col- onizatior and Improvement Company was duly registered and proceeded to busiuess, with the following officer*: President, WllW lam McKay; Vice-Presiient, M. P. Brown* Directors—H. C. Ellis, Charles BrooU and H. A. Barker; Secretary and General Manage Neal D. Barker; Solicitor, C. K. Snooic; Treas- urer, First National Bank of Oakland. The balance of thu tract, 373 acres, was pur- chased. Acontrautwas entered Into tor it j purchase of a la/go number of mill trees, vines, etc. This early purchase or trees was the means of saving between §3,000 and §4.000 to the eompatfy, the prices In sorno cases having more than doubled since then. The ideas which the prospectus set forth have been "but sllgUtly modified and tho progress of the coinpnny has been uninter- rupted. Those who went into it doubtlngly have become enthusiastic, and almost all the members arranged to set out all their lands in lruit trees, etc. the, llrst year. Consequently In this, the first season, some 40,000 trees and between 20.000 and 30.000 vines will be planted. $ The satisfactory working of this scheme has had tho elTect of attracting considerable at- tention to the v.ork of the Colony Company, and a number of people aro now desirous of Joining in w.th them. An additional 200 acres have been added to tho sixty acres originally purchased. For the company is predicted a very bright future, as vfell as for tho beautiful valley in which their operations are conducted. How this marvelous little garden has come to be so long neg'.ected is a puzzle to every one who has vibited it, but one thing is very sure, and that is that this neglect will never again be lelt in the Talley. Thtj fruits set out are mostly of the standard varieties--peaches, apricots, Bartlett pcara, prr.iies, Ugs. raisin grapes, etc., while along both sides of tho avenues, throughout the tract, walnuts will throw their grateful shade. A considerable number of citrus trees are also 'Oeing set out; quite a sufficient number to demonstrate that these fruits can be success- fully grown in the valley, about which the colonists appear to have no doubt, provided proper care is given to the young trees. NeiU D. Barker, General Manager of tho company, resides on the tract, and to his care is to be ascribed much of the success of the venture. Mention should be made of the towu-site, about which there is a pleasant innovation which might with profit be followed by more ambitious places. A small park ofsome three acres has been laid out right in tho center of the town. This park it is proposed to beautify ,by planting in it from time to time as many «f the beauties and curiosities of tree smd Shrub life as may be obtained by diligent search and a wise expenditure of money. It is not expected that Tancred will ever be a large and busy city, but it is thought that It can be made a very pleasant little place to dwell in. A petition ha 3been circulated recently and very largely signed, asking the county to ac- cept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a county road, ana to build a bridge across Cache Creek at this point, in order to give the settlers on the east side of the creek access to Tancred Station. The Tancred colonists aro quite willing to givo tho necessary right of way, and are v«:ry desirous of having a bridge there, as the colony lands extend along both Bides of the stream. It is thought that it would be a very wise expenditure of public mon>iy to grant them this very necessary im- provement, as the operations of such com- panies aro of widespread benefit to the whole county and State. The attractions and com- forts of the cities aro well known, but to those who are willing to settle on tho land and chow that the country also affords attractions and comforts, and ways °* making money pleasantly, every inducement should be held forth. The following is a list of the principal mem- bers of the Tancred Colony, with the number of acres owned by each, and a fact worthy of .\u25a0mention is that In each contract or deed i3- 6ued by the Colony Company there is a pro- vision that no intoxicating liquor shall ever be manufactured or sold on the land. The ap» parent success of tho enterprise shows that the ideas and plans of tho colony, as set forth. In the prospectus some time ago, are not im- practicable: C. T. Hull, Berkeley, 5 acres; W. P. Hammond, Oakland, 14 acres; C. S. Kas- son, San Francisco, 11 acres; Jos. Barker, 10 Acres; A. W. Kelly, Kincardine, Ont., 6 acres; IN. T. Greathead, 5 acres; R. G. Greathead, Oakland, 10 acres; R. A. Barker, San Fran- cisco, 10 acres; N. D. Barker, Tancred, 10 acres; Dr. K. Favor, San Francisco, 27 acres; J. P. Brownlee, Kincardine, Ont., 9 acres; W. T. Barnett, Berkeley, 5 acres; M. P. Brown, 10 acres; Chas. Brook, Sr., Oakland, 10 acres; W. C. Bootelle, Bsrjseley, 20 acres; Mra* T. A. Crellin, Oakland, 5 acres; C. H. Peach, Tancred, 5 acres; H. C. Ellle, Oakland, 10 acres; J. Vanstoue, Winnipeg, 10 acres; E. A. Van- stone, Tancred, 5 acres; E. Wadsworth, Sac- ramento, 6 acres; M. A. Thomas, Oakland, 0 acres; James Graham, San Francisco, 11 acres; A. Stark, 13 acres; J. Stark, 10 acres; Mrs. M. Vrooman, 5 acres; C. E. Snook, 1O j acres; C. T. Greathead, 12 acres; Wm. Mc- | Kay, 5 acres; Mrs. Wm. McKay, Oakland, 5 acres; Mrs. E. C. Wooley, Brooklyn, N. V., 10 acres; Mrs, H. Beckley, Oakland, 5 acres; T. A. Marriett, 6 acres; J. C. Harrison, Tancred, 16 acres.
