The identical airship that waved its icy hand at Sacramento and gave the marble heart to Placerville and which set all San Francisco agos as it soared over the Twin Peaks of the metropolis, passed us by last night. Speeding through the heavens at a break-neck pace and with a fearful disregard for any of the fixed planets which might be in its way, this great unknown thing with eyes of fire and tongue of flame was seen high in air twixt the hours of 11 and 12 Thursday eve. Its flight was marked by a trail of twinkling lights. And so low did it fly that the hum of its hundreds of who-Is could be distinctly heard as it rolled and bowled along in a trackless sea of virgin ether. Many there be who saw the lights of this nocturnal and aerial rover. Bestrice Harriden's famous ship was nowhere in point of commotion created. The testimony of the more credulous eye witnesses can be secured to the end that they heard singing and instrumental music aboard the queer traveler which chose so uncommon a path and such unseemly hours for its trip from north to south. All unannounced it came straight out of the banks of space above Anaheim as the last minutes of a happy Thanksgiving were Judge, kindly, while not a ghost of a smile played around the judicial mouth. "Well, Judge, if I've got to. It was a tunnel, and it was awful long. And when the train was dark be—that horrid man—put his arms around me and kissed me. There!" In the North the Court and the attendants would have smiled audibly. But they don't do such things in the South, and it is a more serious undertaking to take an unwilling kis. The chivalrous old planters in the room had a stern look on their faces, and the muttered comment was conclusive that it was fortunate for the conductor that he was miles away. That ended the evidence for the prosecution, except the supplementary fact that other people in the car had been able to see the kissing in the dim light afforded by the solitary lamp. The attorneys for the road made no attempt to prove that the circumstances surrounding the kiss were other than those described by the plaintiff. They knew that any attempt to do that would immediately prejudice their case in the minds of the jury and result in their being molested out of the entire amount claimed. So with savility and Chesterfieldian diplomacy the counsel for the company contended that such a high valuation ought not to be placed on one kiss. He pointed out that the railroad was very sorry that one of their conductors should be so ungallant, and the jury was told how he was discharged the moment news of the occurrence reached the official. Their plea was that they were very sorry, and that they hoped the jury would not assess them the full amount claimed, as they did not, nor could not, control the man's actions in such matters, although he was their employee. The jury deliberated for over an hour and reported a verdict of $250. THE CUBAN STRUGGLE. REPORTS OF DECISIVE VICTORIES ON THE PART OF THE INSURGENTS. JACKSONVILLE, (Fla.), November 26.—There has been fierce fighting in the Rubl Hille; in fact the most sanguinary battle of the war has been fought which Gen. Weyler's censor at Havana tamed down into a mere scrimmage, but about two thousand of Weyler's men were killed and twice as many wounded. Weyler went to the field with 35,000 men miscellaneous sources, $19,186,060, a gain $2,479,622. The total expenditures for the year were $352,779,446, as against $356,195,298,1895, a decrease of $4,015,852. The ociency for the year is $25,203,245 or $601,977 less than for the last year. The net receipts from the $262,315,400 bonds sold in 1894, 1895 and 1896 were $294,164,295. In the fifteen months ended with September last the withdrawals of gov't from the treasury in redemption of United States notes and treasury notes amount to $192,972,205, while the net gains of gov't from all sources attained a total of $98,81902. The outstanding public debt Juna 1896, sg regated $1,769,840,323 as compared with $1,676,120,983 on the same date 1895. According to a revised estimate of the department composition and distribution the monetary stock for the fiscal year 1895 is as follows: Kind. Gold coin Silver bullion Fractional silver coin Silver bullion Total metalio United States notes Treasury banknotes National banknotes Gold certificate Currency certificates Total paper Aggregate The grand aggregate is $2,348,338,571 compared with $2,399,704,688 for the fiscal year 1895. While these figures show an parent loss of more than fifty millions money, the department officers say that a matter of fact the loss does not now exist. The net proceeds of the national bank not redeemed during the year were $107,89026 34, the largest amount for any life period in ten years, and with the exception of three years, the largest since 1872. The cost for the redemption of Nation bank notes has been assessed against the banks at the rate of $1.12% per $1,000. The appendix contains a large amount new matter of interest to bankers and students of finance in tabular form. REAL DUKES COMEN HIGH. FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS THE PRICE OF MARLBOROUGH—STORY TO BE BY AN ENGLISH AUTHOR It flight was marked by a trail of twin-kling lights. And so low did it fly that the hum of its hundreds of who-laws could be distinctly heard as it rallied and bowled along in a trackless sea of virgin ether. Many there be who saw the lights of this nocturnal and aerial rover. Beatrice Harriden's famous ship was nowhere in point of commotion created. The testimony of the more ocredulous eye witnesses can be secured to the end that they heard singing and instrumental music aboard the queer traveler which chose so uncommon a path and such unseasony hours for its trip from north to south. All announced it came straight out of the banks of space above Anaheim as the last minutes of a happy Thanksgiving were being ticked away. Only late travelers abroad, while the city lay sleeping, saw the strange visitor. From the north it came sailing along, rising and falling in an unsteady but rapid course to the southland. It was fall ten minutes after it hove in sight before the last rays of its electric brilliancy faded away in the southern skies. When directly overhead the shape of the ship was easily discernible. It resembled a huge Silkwood cigar. From either end extended propellers and from the sides light paddle wheels. As from time to time the rays of powerful electric lights from within played upon the outside of the flying affair it was evident the sides were either aluminum or steel, they glistened so. MEN MAY LIVE A HUNDRED YEARS. It is possible for a man to so regulate his life nowadays that he can easily live to 100 years old. It depends very largely on what is eaten after the age of 30 years is reached. The first thing to do is to avoid food that contains limelike properties. Forwear table d'hote dinners and live strictly according to the rules of health. Eat fruit of all varieties. Fruit contains a large amount of acid, and this neutralizes the effect of those elements which make old age creep fast upon us. The next thing to avoid is bread. It is queer that just the thing the world eats most of is in a great degree contributory to shortness of human existence, but medical science declares this to be a fact. So we must cut bread off the bill of fare altogether. Not long ago a scientist discovered that all you have to do in order to live forever was to eat a sufficiency of lemons. There was only one objection to the plan, but that was fatal. You had to eat a lemon for each seven years of your age. When, therefore, you arrived at the second or third century your length of life would be of very little use to you for it would take all your time to eat the prescribed quantity of lemons. But if you must be careful as to what you eat you must be doubly discreet about what you drink. In the Alps and in the Pyrenees there is a race of people where boys become old men at 15 and die of old age at 30, all because they drink lime water. That long-lived race of people, the Chinese, drink only rain water, if they can possibly obtain it. It might seem a simple matter to keep lime out of the system, but when you come to examine the matter great difficulties present themselves. Every article of food contains lime. All vegetables gather it up from the earth. The cows and the sheep get lime from the vegetables and man gets it from both. Of course there are some articles of diet that are free from lime than others, and if these only are chosen then something can be done about lengthening the ordinary span of life. Onions, the doctors say, are admirable youth preservers, and next to them comes the great food of the Eastern races—lettils. Fish is really the best thing, next to fruit. Rice comes a little way behind. Then follow eggs and pork. After these come the ordinary vegetables and then veal, mutton, beef and fowl. IT IS FLIGHT WAS MARKED BY A TRAIL OF TWIN-KLING LIGHTS.

REPORTS OF DECISIVE VICTORIES ON THE PART OF THE INSURGENTS. JACKSONVILLE, (Fla.), November 26.-There has been fierce fighting in the Rubl Hill; in fact the most sanguinary battle of the war has been fought which Gen.Weyler's sensor at Havana tamed down into a more scrimmage, but about two thousand of Weyler's men were killed and twice as many wounded. Weyler went to the field with 35,000 men in three columns, one of 15,000 under himself; one of 10,000 under Gen.Echague, and a third of 10,000 under Gen.Munoz. They found Macco entrenched in a crescent-shaped range of hills, and to Munoz was assigned the duty of routing him from this position, while Echague executed a flank movement to out off his retreat. Macco arranged his battalions and gallantly went forth upon the field, but when at the foot of the hills, the Spaniards were met with a withering fire that cut gaps in their ranks. Macco's men shot from behind trees and rocks, and gradually gave way before the Spaniards, who encouraged by what they thought to be a victory hotly purued them. Suddenly a deafening explosion rent the air and a scene followed that was something like mine horror at Petersburg during the civil war. Horses and men were blown high in the air and fell to the earth dead and mangled. The dynamite mine was touched off by John Linn, formerly of this city, who is Macco's electrician. Macco then let loose his dynamite guns, prepared by Linn, and more hawks by Macco than mine explosion. Col Reyes says Weyler lost 700 men killed and 500 more in charge, besides 1,600 wounded. Next day, Macco, knowing of the reserve force under Weyler, retreated to an even stronger position. There he was attacked by the column under Echague, who was roundly thrashed and driven from the field, losing 800 men killed, besides 1,300 wounded. In this engagement Echague lost a leg, which was torn off by a dynamite bomb. His men became panic-striken. They feared another mine, and would not respond a second time to the call for an attack. Next Jay Macco retreated again, maneuvering all while to entrap Weyler into the field that had been honeycombed with dynamic under the direction of Linn. Meanwhile, however, Weyler heard there was danger of an uprising in Havana because of failure to crush Macco and hastened back to that city. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The officers of the steamer City of Washington say that Havana is in the worst possible state of fear. The residents are momentarily expecting an attack by the insurgents. The prisoners are full, business is at a standstill and merchandise of Spanish ideas are preparing to leave the country. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The Cuban junta in this city claims to have received confirmation via Key West of the report that Macco had defeated Captain-General Weyler in the Rubl mountains of Pinar del Río.The following account of the battle was furnished by the secretary of the junta last night: Gen.Weyler's forces while marching through Rubl mountains, about thirty miles from Havana, were attacked by Macco's army.The charge was so sudden and played such havoc with their troops that the insurgents were able to pour several volleys into the Spanish ranks before the latter could rally and return the fire.The battle was short and desperate,and Gen.Weyler seeing them were fighting at a dissolution and were being slaughtered ordereda HONDLE DUKES COMETE HIGH.

An Alabama court has decided that $250 is ample compensation for one hasty, short kiss, though the aggrieved party placed the damages much higher. This startling judicial decision was handed down by the Circuit Court of the State, sitting last week at Jacksonville, Ala. There is nothing more proxic or stupid on the surface in the world than legal proceedings, and the papers in the case, labeled "Kendrick va. the Atlanta & West Point Railroad Company, for $5,000 damages," gave no clew to the interesting story which was developed when the evidence was given. According to the story of the fair plaintiff, Miss Lizzie Kendrick, a pretty daughter of a Calhoun county planter, she was journeying one day on the railway of the defendant company from Aniston, Ala., to Rome, Ga. The conductor was a good-looking, debonaire chap, with an inclination toward a firstation if the girl was pretty, and with lots of experience. "He was so good to me, and did everything that he could to make the trip pleasant that I couldn't help thanking him, and from that we got to talking about other things," was Miss Lizzie's explanations of how it came about that before the train had gone half-way to the journey's end she and the gay conductor were chatting away as gaily as you please. The conductor employed the avenues of adroit flattery to win her girlish confidence, and she—well, she frankly confessed to the Court that she liked him at the time. At this point in her testimony the girl's pretty face became suffused with blushes. She halted and hesitated for no apparent cause. "It was this way, you know—you see, we had been talking about different things, and the first thing I knew the train became dark—and, oh! Judge, must I tell it!" she stammered, while the blood went and came again into her cheeks, so that she was alternately white as a lily and red like a peony. "Yes, my child, don't be afraid," said the Cuban junta in this city oblits to have received confirmation via Key West of the report that Macao had defeated Captain-General Weyler in the Rubi mountains of Pinar del Rio. The following account of the battle was furnished by the secretary of the junta last night: "Gen. Weyler's forces while marching through the Rubi mountains, about thirty miles from Havana, were attacked by Macao's army. The charge was so sudden and played such havoc with the troopers that the insurgents were able to pour several volleys into the Spanish ranks before the latter could rally and return the fire. The battle was short and desperate, and Gen. Weyler, seeing the men were fighting at a disadvantage and were being slaughtered, ordered a retreat, leaving over a thousand men dead and taking his wounded with him. After leaving the mountains, Gen Weyler proceeded to Artemisia, where he stopped to allow his army to rest." A special to the Herald from Jacksonville, Fla., says: News comes from Havana to-night that orders have been issued doubling the guards at the fortifications around the city, and that news has reached the Captain-General of the presence of large guerrilla forces near the city. HAVANA, Nov. 27.—Nothing special has been received concerning the operations in the field. The official statistics show that there are now 17,340 soldiers sick in the various military hospitals. Out of this number 1418 are suffering with yellow fever. Eight hundred and fifty persons who have been sent into exile for political crimes will be sent to the prisons at Chairinas tomorrow. A train which arrived here to day from Artemisia, province of Pinar del Rio, brought seventeen officers and 473 privatees, who are so sick that it was necessary to bring them here for treatment. The steamer Bolivar brought to-day seven officers and 240 privates, all sick, from the same province. MORGAN DEALS IN MILLIONS.

NUMBER 6 SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS. Representative Timborlake's bill introduced in the Alabama Legislature proposing to make it unlawful for women to wear in public tights, bloomers, shirt waists or any article of clothing commonly worn by men, was killed by an almost unanimous vote of the House at Montgomery on Saturday. Texas gives Bryan the largest plurality of any State carried by him. Texas cast more than 550,000 votes, and the plurality of Bryan and Sewell over McKinley and Hoart is 150,000. If the Bryan and Watson vote is added, Bryan beats McKinley more than 200,000. The Great Register of Alpine county is a novelty. There are but ninety-nine names upon it, and of this number there are but two voters who cannot read the Constitution in English and write their own names. There is one lawyer in the county and one shoemaker and no newspapers. Almost every man is a German farmer from Fredericksburg. A statement of receipts and expenditures of the Princeton-Yale football game in New York last week shows an interesting financial feature of the game: "Deducting all expenses, Yale and Princeton will each receive $14,282. The profits of the game were $28,-564. The statement shows receipts of gate, $34,653; programmes, $2,500; total expenditures, $8,589, among which are $5,000 for grounds." The wedding of George Oceiger and Matilda Kaison near Ritzburg, Wash., ended in a tragedy. The wedding feast was being celebrated at the house of the bride's parents, when a number of young men, in pursuance of what is said to be a custom among certain classes of the neighborhood, began celebrating the affair by shooting at random. In the fusilade Miss Marie Bauer, a young girl, was accidentally shot in the head and killed. The engagement is announced of Gerald du Maurier, son of the author of "Tribby," to Miss Marguerite Slyva. Both are members of Beerbohm Tree's company now playing in Washington. Du Maurier has been a member of the company for some time, but Miss Slyva only joined it for an American tour and Du Maurier did not meet her until a few days before they sailed. Miss Slyva is of Italian descent, and is regarded as one of the beauties of the stage. around the house and cleared the front fence like a deer, dashing off down the street, while three ineffectual shots were sent after him by the hueband with the gun. No one was hurt, but the divorce court will probably get another case before long. Mrs. Vernon Hartley brought suit against the estate of the late State Senator Foley at Carson, Nev., for the support of herself and an illigitimate son. Mrs. Hartley was an artist in Reno, and about a year ago shot and killed Senator Foley, one of the wealthiest and most prominent men of Nevada. She alleged that Foley had drugged and betrayed her, and was the father of her unborn child. She was convicted of murder, and sentenced to eighteen years in prison. Since the birth of her child she brings suit against the Foley estate for a share of the property on her child's behalf. Mrs. Hartley says that Foley had written an acknowledgment of his paternity of the child before his death. The jury disagreed. In the review of the California fruit trade for the season, a New York expert says: "In grapes, with which the season ended, prices were fairly good, although rains in California affected the keeping qualities. A few large lots arrived here absolutely sound. Double crates of various varieties ranged from $250 to $2, while single crates sold chiefly at 90 cents to $1.25. The crop of oranges in California this season is expected to be about the same as last, namely six to seven thousand carloads, but the crop of navel oranges is said to be short, with current prices at $275 per box f. o. b. cars in California, and it is not expected any large number will come to the Atlantic coast. Florida is hardly a factor in the orange situation this year, as the crop is not expected to exceed 150,000 boxes. Some few Florida oranges have already arrived, and the bulk of the crop has it is said, been sold on the trees." F. M. Arnoldt, a fruit-grower living near St. Joseph, Mo., reports a terrible experience with masked robbers, who entered his house at an early hour Saturday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Arnoldt were awakened and found three masked men in their bedroom. The robbers covered them with pistols, and demanded to know where their money was concealed. Arnoldt denied that he had money and his wife was too terrified to speak. The man and woman were then dragged into the cellar and were held there while one of the robbers went to the rooms above and beaten an iron poker to a white heat and returned with it to the cellar.

John Fowler, a 7-year-old Santa Rosa boy, was instantly killed and shockingly mutilated by the accidental discharge of a shotgun. He went with his mother to visit some friends at a ranch near by. The small boy of the place, Joseph Frege, aged 9, invited him to look at a new shotgun. While the boys were examining it the gun was discharged. The load of shot struck young Fowler under the chin, tearing his face into shreds. Great excitement prevails near Tonkawa, Oaklaboma, over a second attempt to murder the family of R.T. Brooke and his wife. A month ago Charlie Graham, Bill Jones and Kenneth McDonald attempted to assassinate Brooke and his wife one night, and Brooke killed Graham, who was a noted outlaw. Graham before death confessed, implicating several men in the community. He said those men had employed him to kill Brooke and his wife and burn the home. Saturday H.T. Baylis, Tom Bryan, Robert McDonald, Frank Lawrence and many others who were bound over under a $500 bond for conspiracy against Brooke and his wife broke away from the officers. Saturday night masked men went to Brooke's house but were repulsed by Brooke and his wife who stood them off with Winchester. Anna R Clark died in Chicago of a broken heart.-She had been interrupted that total blindness was near and inevitable. A post-mortem examination by a physician revealed the fact that there was a heart lesion, and her death proved to be one of the few authentic recorded deaths from a heart broken by sorrow. Two weeks ago Miss Clark went through the daily round of her duties. Owing to some slight trouble with her eyesight, she visited an oculist. He told her that the loss of her eye sight might be the question of only a few hours. As she returned to her residence the next day from a walk some one spoke to her. She said: "I hear your voice, but I cannot see you." Her own voice was a bit broken as she spoke, but the significance of what she said was not felt by those about her. The next morning she was found dead. Miss Ann McDowell of Wilkesbarre, Pa., 19 years old, heroically resued a child from the claws of a big eagle, and after a desperate struggle, in which she was badly wounded, killed the bird. Miss McDowell, while walking along the road near her home, heard a child's scream, and rushing to the rescue, found Nettie Hinkle, 3 years old, in the talons of a large bald eagle, which had attacked her but did not seem to be able to carry it away. She pulled the child away from the bird's talons, and when she attempted to take it in her arms the bird attacked her fiercely. Miss McDowell beat off the attacks of the bird as best she could. The eagle was furious. It whirled about and dashed, beak and talons extended, at the girl who beat it off with her arms. Miss McDowell was wounded severely, and she was unable to retaliate with effect. Finally, as her strength was about gone, she managed to grasp the bird by the neck, and thrust a hat pin through its head, killing it. Overcome by her wounds she fell unconscious across the dead body of her antagonist. She will be able to be about this week, but will doubtless bear the marks of her heroic fight for life. The last of the corrected returns from the reuniting of husband and wife after forty years of separation forms the basis of a strange story that comes from La Grange, Indiana Weidner disappeared from St.Joseph county Michigan in 1856.His wife did not give up hope for his return until 1864 when a letter alleged to have been written by her husband on his dying bed,solved the mystery.The letter came from Los Angeles Cal., where Mrs Weidner believed her husband died.She denounced widow's weeds and mourned her husband as dead.She subsequently married John Tompkins,and to this union six children were born.Tompkins died in 1886.One day last week Weidner returned to find his family.it possible little believing his wife was alive.Here found in gray headed Mrs.Tompkins the bride of his youth,and as husband and wife they will live together again.Weidner went to the coast to speculate,and several fortunate business ventures have given him possession of a comfortable fortune.The theory is advanced that the letter sent Mrs.Waidner was part of a conspiracy to murder Weidner at the time.as he was owner of several valuable mining claims.

It happens that all these cultural States have gone trementous other way, and that whereas Illinois and Wisconsin gave Democrories in 1892 and the others Republican majorities, they have neither this year with surprising The figures are more eloquent comments, viz: Pluralities Rep.

The results show that Barham's majority over Cutler is only 498 in the First district. In the Second, De Vries' majority over Johnson is just 5,821. In the Third, Hilborn beats English by 3,659, and in the Sixth Barlow beats McLachlan by 665.

Thanksgiving evening residents of a fashionable quarter of Los Angeles were treated to an unusual and edifying spectacle, which was amusing to a degree, notwithstanding the element of tragedy which entered into it. The actors were an outraged husband, with a large-sized revolver, and the despoiler of his home, clad only in an undershirt, but carrying his clothing in his hands, sprinting down the street, cutting the night breeze at a rapid gait, while an occasional shot zipping by lent wings to his flying feet. The husband for some time had suspicions that his wife was unfaithful, and resolved to ascertain the truth if possible. Accordingly on the evening in question he confided to her that business called him from the city for a day or two, and packing his grip, salried forth to catch the train. Instead of going he proceeded only a block or two and doubled on his tracks, coming in sight of his house in time to see a man enter who did not come out. His worst suspicions were confirmed, and the husband threw open the front door, and started into the house, gun in hand, for his wife's bedroom. The visitor did not stand on ceremony, but made a grab for his clothing, and carrying his trousers in one hand and shoes in the other, bolted for the open out of the back door. He ran Mounted on a donkey, R. Pritcher Woodward, a wealthy Brooklynite, started on Friday from the Hotel Bartholdi, New York, for San Francisco. If Bryan had been elected, Woodward would have been in possession of some of the money of Benjamin Lillard, the New York publisher, instead of traveling to the Golden Gate on the back of a patient, but undersized steed. Woodward and Lillard were passengers on one of the Atlantic steamers just before the election. Lillard's confidence in the result led him to bet Woodward money against a donkey ride to San Francisco that McKinley would be elected. The terms of the bet on Woodward's side are not as freaky as would at first appear, when it is known that Woodward makes a specialty of going a long distance on the backs of donkeys. In fact he has traveled over much of Europe in that way. When the election decided Woodward should cross the continent on donkey-back, the day after Thanksgiving was fixed upon for the start. There are two conditions in the bet, non-observance of which would cost Woodward $100 and $200, respectively. The first is he shall go to San Francisco by way of Canton, O., and visit Maj McKinley, the second stipulates that a visit is to be paid Bryan at his Nebraska home. Stephen Dutton, a financier of much versatility, but of questionable methods, is under arrest at New York, and the deeper the investigation into his operations, the more apparent does their extensive and daring character become. It develops that he tried to swindle Colonel William P. Gaines of Texas out of property worth $225,000. Colonel Gaines is one of the wealthiest men in Austin. A vineyard in Fresno county, Cal., came into his possession as security for an unpaid debt. The vineyard was worth $225,000, and Gaines wished to sell or exchange it for eastern property. He made a contract with Henry Devine of Brooklyn to exchange the vineyard for a lot in Washington which was part of the Bold-gett claim. The lot was valued at $200,000. When negotiations were under way brokers informed Gaines that Devine was only a figurehead and that Dutton was the real owner of the Washington property. All business afterward was done with him. Gaines asked his counsel, David King, to investigate Dutton's title. King went to Washington and learned his claim was purely a visionary one. Dutton's next move was to bring forward the Washington Title Guarantee and Trust Company, which he declared was organized under the laws of West Virginia and had a capital of $1,000,-000. It was perfectly willing to guarantee Dutton's title to the property in question. Mr. King wrote to the Secretary of State of West Virginia and learned that the company was duly incorporated, but none of the members had any property. Thereupon a warrant was issued for Dutton's arrest on a charge of swindling. Gaines has not yet disposed of his Fresno vineyard.
