WEEKLY EIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1883 THETHREEGRANDMOTHERS BY MARGARET KETTINGZ. "And you would marry this fellow," said Grandmother Von Breeks von Starch, in her bassoonist (that is the only word which I can think of to describe them) tones, "if you could?" "Yes, ma'am," replied Gertrude, meekly but firmly. "The idea is simply preposterous!" declared Grandmother Huffey's life-like voice. "Preposterous indeed!" responded the bassoon. "More than preposterous-disgraceful! A mechanic, a common working-man, a house-painter!" "He's a fresco painter," timidly corrected Gertrude. "Which amounts to the same thing," groaned the bassoon. "Michael Angelo—" began Gertrude. "Heaven preserve us," shrilled the fife, "she's bringing some Irishman into the discussion now. Be silent; miss. We'll not hear another word from you. And understand distinctly, once for all, that if that person calls here tomorrow, which no doubt he will have the impertinence and assurance to do, you are to dismiss him instantly, or we will." "And endeavor to begin the 'new year'" bassoon took up the strain again—"in a manner befitting the illustrious General Von Breeks von Starch, whose unexampled bravery made him and Bergen-op-Zoom—the city of his birth—famous not only through Holtland merchant, due in New York with the brush in hand, standing in the doorway. "Oh yes, thank you," said Gertrude, with a blush; and turning to the piano again, she played the whole air skillfully and gracefully. "It’s a beautiful thing," said the painter, still standing in the doorway; "but I think the song beginning in this way"—and he prepared to whistle again, when he encountered the frozen frown of Madam Von Breeks von Starch, as she stepped into the room from the balcony, and fled. And the next day the piano was closed and locked, and the fair performer a prisoner in her own room; and Grandmother Huffey meeting Mr. Everdell Tramlett as he came to work, requested him in one brief sentence to "get through his work and go about his business as soon as possible." But Love—bless his merry little heart—laughs at locks and locksmiths, and the very next time Gertrude went for her singing lesson to the Conservatory (to and from the door of which she was always escorted by either Madame Von Breeks von Starch or Mistress Huffey) she found there a new pupil with a beautiful bass voice, and that young pupil was the fair-haired, blue-eyed young fresco-painter. Not one word of this meeting, nor of the meetings that followed it two or three times a week for six months thereafter, did the naughty girl breathe to either of the three grandmothers, and the two younger of the two exalted greatly over the strict vigilance with which they guarded the future bride (according to their long land plan of Diedrich Von Breeks, the rich Holland merchant, due in New York with the ting a small package in Gertrude's hand. "Law, enild, how much you do look like me the night I run away with Oliver Pecky? Your sweetheart's a good boy; I know all about him. Good night, and a Happy New Year to you both." And exerting all her strength—Gertrude standing motionless in her great surprise—the old lady unlocked the door and gently pushed the girl out into the arms of her lover. And when the flight was discovered next morning, the anger thereat was nearly equaled by the wonder in regard to the manner of it. "She never went by the front door, for the key was under my pillow," thundered the bassoon. She couldn't have opened one of the parlor windows to have saved her life" squeaked the fife. "Only John and myself know the secret of the fastenings. And if she could have opened it she certainly could not have fastened them behind her. Some of the servants must have helped her." But the servants emphatically declared their entire innocence. "There's no use asking'ma," said Mistress Huffey, looking rather spitefully at the old lady as she rocked in her favorite rocker and munched her favorite refreshment. "She never sees nor hears anything. But however the ungrateful minx got out, I'm glad she's gone, and not a penny of my money does she ever see." The great-gran's "little gift" proved to be a bon-bon box filled with fresh caraway huskies in midst of which lay a crisp one. "she's bringing some Irishman into the discussion now. Be silent; miss. We'll not hear another word from you. And understand distinctly, once for all, that if that person calls here to morrow, which no doubt will have the impartience and assurance to do, you are to dismiss him instantly, or we will." "And endeavor to begin the 'new year'—bassoon took up the strain again—in a manner befitting the illustrious General Von Brecks von Starch, whose unexampled bravery made him and Bergen-op-Zoom—the city of his birth famous not only through Holland, but the entire world, at a time when you were not dreamed of." As for Great-gran Peaky, she had sat softly cooking to and fro in her cushioned rocker, managing her caraway biscuits—a store of which she always carried in a little satchel suspended at her side—sleepily regarding the group of talkers, and saying not a word herself. But that was nothing strange to her. She scarcely ever spoke save in monosyllables; and never even in them when Madam Von Brecks von Starch and Mistress Huffy were laying down the law (a favorite occupation of them), by the bye) to servants, trades people, or grand daughter Gertrude. And the last thing that could have occurred to either of the law-makers would have been the idea of appealing to the old lady for an opinion on any subject whatever. It sufficed that she paid without grumbling the greater part of the expenses of the household out of the income which was to cease at her death, and yet allowed them to manage things pertaining to it their own way. Gertrude—so named by Madam Von Brecks von Starch in honor of the patron saint of Bergen-op-Zoom—had lost both her parents in her infancy, and her father having been reduced to poverty some time before he died by various gentlemanly vices, she had been left wholly dependent upon her three grandmothers. Of those Great-gran Peaky was the mother of Grandmother Huffy, who in turn was the mother of Gertrude's mother, while Grandma Von Brecks von Starch held the same close relationship to her father. The bassoon grandmother was at the head of her family (she had been a Von Brecks von Starch herself, and had married a cousin of the same name—a family of great prowess and many bags of gold in their fatherland some century and a half ago. She was tall, stout and solid, with a round face, big black eyes, abundant iron-gray hair, and a carriage that immediately suggested to the beholder the last syllable of her aristocratic name. The life grandmother, five years her junior, was directly her opposite, being short, slim, and limber, with a sharp-cut face, extremely thin, fair hair, and faded blue eyes. Great-gran Peaky, notwithstanding her eighty-three years, was by far the best looking of the three (though she did look, I must confess, when munching her caraway biscuits, something like a very nice meditative old rabbit). Her snowy white tresses either Madame Von Breeks von Starch or Mistress Huffy) she found there a new pupil with a beautiful bass voice, and that young pupil was the fair haired, blue-eyed young freesco-painter. Not one word of this meeting, nor of the meetings that followed it two or three times a week for six months thereafter, did the naughty girl breathe to either of the three grandmothers, and the two younger of the trio exulted greatly over the strict vigilance with which they guarded the future bride according to their long land planst of Diedrich Von Brecks, the rich Holland merchant, due in New York with the new year. But their exultation came to an end on New Year's Eve. On that evening the Conservatory of Music gave a pupil concert, and the very first daft was sung by Miss Gertrude Von Brecks and Mr. Everdell (remdett). In vain had the latter begged to be left out of the programme; in vain had he summoned to his and a mysterious throat disease. His professor declared that sing he mist, or lose his place in the Conservatory; and what was still worse, prove himself an "ingra-aste!" And so the three grandmothers, sitting in great state near the stage were horrified—that is two of them were (great-gran munched her caraways as placidly as ever)—by seeing and hearing their grand-daughter made operatic love to, in a very love-making way, before a most fashionable audience, by the young man who frescoed their parlors. In a moment the whole truth flashed upon their minds, and how they sat out the rest of the concert, so great was their indignation, they never knew. But at last, much to their relief, it came to an end, and the ominous silence with which they received the pretty culprit prepared her for the storm (the afterlaps of which I have recorded at the beginning of my story) that burst upon her head as soon as she reached home. When it was over Gertrude was allowed to seek her room. Here she threw off her cloak, turned the key in her door, and took from her bosom a note, which she hastily read. "MY DEARER" (thus it ran),—"I suppose—in fact, I know—you will have a scene tonight with her Royal Highness Von Brecks von Starch and her faithful Henchwoman the Duchess de Huffey. I am so sorry for you, dear! But don't let them frighten you; and don't be frightened at what I am about to propose. To-morrow will be New Year's Day. Consent, I entreat you, to begin the New Year with me. I have but a humble home to offer you, but in it waits the blessedest of mothers—and the best of grandmothers (who will make your fourth) to welcome you. I shall be waiting, when you read this note, with a carriage around the nearest corner. Our alto and tenor will be with me, ready to act as bridesmaid and groomsman. Your grandmothers would never consent to our marriage, and unless you take a decisive step they will marry you, in spite of yourself, to your Dutch fifth cousin. Come, my darling, come. P.S.—If you find it impossible to make your escape, why, then I must be heard vanta must have helped her." But the servants emphatically declared their entire innocence. "There's no use asking ma," said Mistress Huffy, looking rather spitefully at the old lady as she rocked in her favorite rocker and munched her favorite refreshment. "She never sees nor hears anything. But however the ungrateful minx got out, I'm glad she's gone, and not a penny of my money does she ever see." The great-gran's "little gift" proved to be a bon-bon box filled with fresh caraway biscuits, in the midst of which lay a crisp one thousand dollar United States Treasury note. But never did Everdell or his wife hear from or see her again, for very soon after their marriage she passed quietly out of life, and so will remain an enigma to them forever. And Matam Von Brecks von Starch and Mistress Huffy having succeeded in marrying the merchant from Bergen-op-Zoom to a distant relative of the Starch family—sought out and dowered for that purpose—departed with the bridal pair for that once renowned military town, and the land of the free and the home of the brave knew them no more—Harper's Weekly. Murder of Dr. Glenn. Germantown,(Cal.), Feb. 17.—Dr. Hugu J. Glenn, of Jacinto, the owner of the larger grain ranch in the State, was shot and killed by A. Miller. About two o'clock this afternoon Dr. Glenn was going along the porch of the Jacinto Hotel. When near south end of the porch he passed A. Miller who had been in the employ of the Doctor's bookkeeper for about a month. Last Monday Miller was discharged for drunkenness Miller was standing on the porch with double-barrel shot gun in his hand; and just as Dr. Glenn passed him he raised the gun and fired only a distance of ten feet separating them. The whole charge took effect: The Doctor's head, tearing away a portion of the skull about the size of a large hen's eye on top and slightly to right sale of his head. The Doctor fell forward on his faecal as soon as possible was conveyed to the hotel parlor. Medical aid was at once sunmed but it was of no avail; for at 8 o'clock this evening the injured man quietly passed away surrounded by his family and numerous friends. As soon as Miller saw his victim fall tried to escape by going across a field in southerly direction. Just then R. M. Cochran, general superintendent for Dr. Glenn hearing of the crime,rushed for a Henh rifle and started in pursuit. When with hailing distance he ordered Miller to stop Miller then turned upon Cochran and told him not to approach or he would shoot,having taken his shotgun along. Cochran,sing no other way of capturing the murdered shot at Miller and the bullet entered the deshy part of his thigh. Being wounded Miller threw up his hands and sued for money. He was then transferred to The Colu Jail where he now lies. The life grandmother, five years her junior, was directly her opposite, being short, slim, and limber, with a sharp-cut face, extremely thin, fair hair, and faded blue eyes. Great-gran Peeky, notwithstanding her eighty-three years, was by far the best looking of the three, (though she did look, I must confess, when munching her caraway biscuits, something like a very nice meditative old rabbit). Her snowy white tresses waved prettily above her dark eyebrows, beneath which beamed with a mild, dreamy light her soft brown eyes, and a pleasant winter bloom lingered on her wrinkled face. It was from her Gertrude had received all the picture books and sugar-plums, almost always bestowed in silence, that had brightened and sweetened her childhood, Grandina Von Breeks von Starch supplying the lessons in deportment, and Grandmother Huffey (let me whisper it) the punishments, usually inflicted with a slipper or the back of a hair brush. But in spite of the lessons, and lectures, and other disagreeable things, Gertrude led a tolerably happy life with her three grandmothers until her eighteenth birthday. From that day dated such strict surveillance, so much sarcasm, so many scoldings, that even the hair brush-and-slipper period seemed by comparison a regrettable one. And all on account of the young man who came to fresco the parlor ceilings. A handsome young man he was, possessing the highly euphonious name of Everdell Tremlett. But neither his good looks nor his romantic name availed him aught with the two managing grandmothers, who saw in him only one of the working-day race, with which the Huffeys and the Von Breeks von Starches had nothing in common. And therefore, with no more thought about the matter than if John the man-servant had been there in his stead, they allowed their grand-daughter to practice her music lessons in the back parlor—the sliding door being partly open—while he was at work in the front. And so it happened that Gertrude trying to play an air from memory, and finding it continually eluded her, was about giving it up in vexation, when some one softly whistled it behind her; and turning quickly on the revolving stool she saw the young painter, home to offer you, but in it waits the blessedest of mothers and the best of grandmothers (who will make your fourth) to welcome you. I shall be waiting, when you read this note, with a carriage around the nearest corner. Our alto and tenor will be with me, ready to act as bridesmaid and groomsman. Your grandmothers would never consent to our marriage, and unless you take a decisive step they will marry you, in spite of yourself, to your Dutch fifth cousin. Come, my darling, come. "P.S.—If you find it impossible to make your escape, why, then I must beard the hons in their den to morrow, and fight a duel with Von Breeks von Starch as soon as he arrives in the country." Gertrude stood an instant in thought, then she glanced in the mirror. It reflected a bride-like figure. Dress of some clinging creamy white material, daisy-lecked head, a cloud of lace clasped at the throat by a tiny gold cross. She smiled softly, re-read the note, waited impatiently until half an hour had passed; and then unlocked her door, opened it and listened. All was silent as the grave. Cautiously she ventured out into the entry, groped her way to the stairway, and began to descend the stairs pausing on every other step to make sure that no one was astir and watching her. At last she reached the street door in safety. It seemed an age to her until she had succeeded in fastening the heavy chain across it—in reality it was just three minutes—and then she felt for the key. It was gone! Her heart sank within her. "Poor Everdell!" she said, and sadly prepared to retrace her steps—not daring to try the basement way, because the servants slept in that part of the house—when a faint light appeared above her head, and looking up she saw great-gran, carrying a lighted candle in her hand, coming down the stairs as carefully as she had come down them herself. "She will call the others as soon as she is sure it is I," she exclaimed in an agony of fear. But great-gran came straight on, without a word, until she stood besiege the frightened girl. "Here's the key, my dear," she said in a whisper, and with quite a girlish air. "I've got a key that fits the General's door, though she don't know it, and I took this from under her pillow. Oh! if she'd caught me. But she sleeps like a soldier of the Revolution. And here's a little gift for you"—put-tried to escape by going across a field in southerly direction. Just then R. M. Cochrane, general superintendent for Dr. Glen hearing of the crime, rushed for a Henri rifle and started in pursuit. When with hailing distance he ordered Miller to stop Miller then turned upon Cochrane and told him not to approach or he would shoot, having taken his shotgun along. Cochrane said ing no other way of capturing the murderer shot at Miller and the bullet entered the desky part of his thigh. Being wounded Miller threw up his hands and sauded for money. He was then transferred to the Colu-Jail where he now lies. Museum Tricks. Two or three years ago the police closed two or three of the Bowery museums that were advertising wonderful curiosities; such as animated human heads without bodies and other monstrosities; all of which were produced by means of optical illusions. The police should have been especially excised over these little tricks it is impossible to say. The museums had never been lested before, although they were notorious humbugs, with three car monte and body phrenology attachments. The Bowery museums charge ten cents admission; and considering the quality of the entertainment offered, they are the most expensive place of amusement in the city. They have recently revived their optical tricks; and those of them are now exhibiting triple-head women as their most wonderful curiosities. Both establishments have their own special device for producing their three-headed women; although at both places the trick is exhibited from a dimly-lighted cabinet; and the lights in the auditorium are turned off. In one museum a woman stands in the area of a pair of mirrors arranged in the shape of a V. Her figure is reflected; of course both mirrors; so that the appearance is given of a three-fold body and head. The mirror stand at such an incline as to give images the appearance of joining the man's body at the hips. At the other establishment the cabinet is lined with dark colored cloth; against which, as a bare ground, appears a young woman in a neck-necked dress. Upon her bare shoulders she chins of two other women whose hair protrudes through the black background. Once an hour the curtain of the cabinet rolled up, and the "three-headed woman is exhibited for a few minutes." Poes these tricks are only on a bar with which the great Barnum used to enhance early reputation. —Chicago Times. GAZETTE. February 24, 1883. NO. 20 Package in Gertrude's hand.

Braidwood, (Ill.), Feb. 16—The Diamond coal mine caved in to-day, and seventy-four miners are buried in the ruins. A. L. Sweet, President of the four mines comprising the Diamond mine, states that 300 men were in the various shafts when the ground sagged in under the weight of water that had loosened it. Sixty-two men were in the shaft which caught the bulk of the falling debris and which was instantly floored. Every one of them was either drowned or smothered inside of five minutes. Their bodies are now buried beneath many tons of earth. 100 acres have been excavated. The miners not in the one unfortunate shaft all escaped. Pumping is going on vigorously, but it will be many hours before the first bodies can be reached. February 17—All hope of the possible rescue of these unhappy beings by the opening of the driveway from the Olden shaft into the workings was abandoned at dusk, when the water poured into the last named shaft, and the workmen were compelled to abandon their last desperate attempt at the salvation of their follows. The escape of the majority was almost a miracle. The country around the mines is almost a dead-level prairie, and the recent rains have covered the whole country with water. Hundreds of acres of land are covered by the mine workings, many off which have been worked out and abandoned. It was through a break of the abandoned workings that the flood poured in today. Cincinnati Cooking Club. The young ladies of an ultra-fashionable quarter of Cincinnati have organized, or rather made a start at organizing, a cooking club; but from reports of the first meeting which we have received, we have some doubts as to its successful accomplishment. On the day set for the meeting all the young women interested turned out in force and their good clothes, and some twenty or more were present. No regular order of exercises was adopted, but an informal talk took place just to test the sense of the meeting. Miss Daisy H., said, that as she understood it, the object was to establish a club in which they could all learn to cook good plain dishes. Miss Clara D., said she didn't know that it was necessary to cook the dishes. She wasn't certain, however, because she had never been in the kitchen to see just how a meal was prepared. She did remember, though, that the dishes were always hot when they were brought in, which was no doubt the result of cooking. Miss Mary C., was told she would have to bring a rolling pin to the next meeting, and very innocently inquired if they wanted one with hids on it or not. This raised a little laugh, which was subtitled by Miss Fannie R., saying that the new style of rolling-pans didn't have hids, as they were made with an open front. Miss Hattie D., said that she belonged to a club once, and that the nicest cake the club ever made had been bought at the bakers.

Museum Tricks. Three years ago the police closed off of the Bowery museums that housed wonderful curiosities, such as human heads without bodies, constrosities, all of which were means of optical illusions. Why should have been especially exerted little tricks it is impossible to museums had never been made, although they were notorious with three car monte and bogus attachments. The Bowery charge ten cents admission, and the quality of the entertainment is the most expensive places out in the city. They have relied their optical tricks, and two now exhibiting triple-headed their most wonderful curiosities. Installments have their own special producing their three-headed woman at both places the trick is exerted a dimly-lighted cabinet, and the auditorium are turned low. A woman stands in the angle mirrors arranged in the shape of figure is reflected, of course, in so that the appearance is given cold body and head. The mirrors which an incline as to give the appearance of joining the woman at the hips. At the other east the cabinet is lined with darkish, against which, as a back-bears a young woman in a low-sa. Upon her bare shoulders rest two other women, whose heads through the black background, are the curtain of the cabinet is and the "three-headed woman" for a few minutes. Possibly are only on a bar with those great Barnum used to enhance his station. — Chicago Times. He then directed the drivers to run back and escape by a shaft and yell to the men as they ran and he did what he could himself. He saved one of his boys, all that he could reach. He then ascended and sounded the steam whistle, which called out the village. When the company heard of the accident they drove over and organized a movement to render aid to those who were either dead or confined in some air chamber. A division of miners and teams were set to work to build a dam around the hole that was admitting the water. The officers of the company examined the vent and found that the earth had caved in nearly the same spot that it had on previous occasions yielded to the weight of water that rested upon it. Destitute, distracted families were next looked up and everything that could be done to mitigate the awful effects of such a calamity. There were plenty of willing hands, but in spite of this the work moved slowly. All day men have lent willing hands to relieve the distress. Donkey pumps were sent down from Chicago and manned early this morning, but it is no use to attempt to pump out the mine until the hole is stopped up, as there is enough water on the surface of the country to fill a small lake. It is thought by practical miners that no bodies will be recovered for at least a few days. Until that time many hearts that feed upon the hope that the men are still alive will beat hopefully and will never be satisfied until the lifeless bodies are laid out at the mouth of the shaft. The greatest excitement still prevails. Matters will be pushed. Neither money nor trouble will be spared to make a specially find, of the buried men, dead or alive. One of the sadest features is the fact that most of the drowned men have families who were depending on their support. The scene of devastation and destruction the town of Diamond presents can readily be conceived when it is known that forty six widows are left to tell the tale of one of the most horrible disasters that has ever been recorded in this State. * "Help yourself and others will help you." But don't fail to use kidney Wort for all liver, kidney and bowel complaints, piles, costiveness, etc. The demand of the people for an easier method of preparing Kidney Wort has induced the proprietors, the well-known wholesale druggists, Wells Richard & Co., of Burlington, Vt., to prepare it for sale in liquid form as well as in dry form. Thus the informal talk went on, and when the supper bell rang the meeting adjourned until the following week, when active measures would be taken toward a permanent organization. The young ladies appeared very well pleased with the intelligence displayed, and are in high hopes of being ready to invite their gentlemen friends to a feast in the strawberry time. We may be mistaken in our original surmises, and shall watch these meetings with more than ordinary interest, and give our readers the results of future developments. Cincinnati Drummer. Effects of Diet on Liability to Infection. Professor Feser, of Munich, has been making experiments on animals with a view to establishing the connection which exists between diet and liability to infection. In the trials he has made on rats inoculated with the poison of cattle distemper, he demonstrated the fact, says the Lancet, that animals which had been fed on vegetable diet were quickly attacked by the disease, while those which had been fed exclusively on meat resisted the effects of the inoculation. In recording this fact, a leading journal, in connection with the Continental leather trade, attributes to the greater amount of vegetable diet, in the shape of bread, beer, etc., taken by woolsorters between Saturday and Monday, the greater frequency of cases of outbreak and the aggravation of disease during that period. A child's chair has been invented which can be changed into a rocker, a perambulator or a cradle. It has an ingenious piece of mechanism, but it needs another attachment for spanking the infant, and performing other duties connected with training up a child in the way it should go. Failures. Scores of young men have started well in life, but through mismanagement, or "hard times" overtaking them, fail in business, and ever afterward float along apparently with no arms nor ends. Swaine's Ointment never fails in curing Itching Piles and all skin diseases. There is no guess work about the preparation. Its originator has a level head, and what he says it wil do you can rely upon. All druggists keep it, and those who suffer should try it and be made happy.
