THE MAUSER BULLET How Wounds Made by it Differ From The Old Kind. Ever since the Mauser bullet was invented and so generally adopted by the different nations of the civilized world men who follow the military and surgical professions have been anxious for an opportunity to study it in a practical application, such as war alone affords. Colonel J. Herbert Stevens, a physician and surgeon, who has been in Cuba many months, has observed the effect of this bullet. He says there is no hope for the soldier who stands behind a tree for protection when this bullet is used for it passes through the trunk of trees with as much apparent ease as it would through a cheese. Men struck by Mauser bullets have been known to continue fighting to the end of the battle even after they had received what is generally supposed to be a mortal wound. In almost every case the bullet passes through the victim's body, and the wound of exit is usually no larger than that of entrance. The old-fashioned bullet usually whirled round and round, tearing the tissues, arteries, muscles and flesh, and if coming in contact with a bone, shattering it in splinters. The wound of exit, too, would generally be large enough to insert a man's fist. Whenever a man was hit in the arm or leg by one of these old bullets it was almost always necessary to perform amputation, if the victim did not die beforehand from hemorrhage. With the Mauser bullet all this is said to be different. Experience in the Cuban war has demonstrated that only very infrequently does a wound caused by a Mauser bullet result in a hemorrhage which might be fatal, except where one of the great arteries has been torn or served. A case in point may be cited: A Cuban soldier was shot through the right lung—a wound, which, if caused by an ordinary bullet, would be considered fatal—but the Cuban went on fighting for two hours after knowing he was hit. There was practically no hemorrhage, and with such surgical treatment as could be given him, even in the very limited hospital department of his army he was up and about in... PETER SYRE, PROP.

This Is Your Opportunity. On receipt of ten cents, cash or stamps, a generous sample will be mailed of the most popular Catarrh and Hay Fever Cure (Ely's Cream Balm) sufficient to demonstrate the great merits of the remedy.

Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents. Experience in the Cuban war has demonstrated that only very infrequently does a wound caused by a Mauser bullet result in a hemorrhage which might be fatal, except where one of the great arteries has been torn or served. A case in point may be cited: A Cuban soldier was shot through the right lung—a wound, which, if caused by an ordinary bullet, would be considered fatal—but the Cuban went on fighting for two hours after knowing he was hit. There was practically no hemorrhage, and with such surgical treatment as could be given him, even in the very limited hospital department of his army, he was up and about in eight days after the battle. Another remarkable case is that of a man who was shot through the leg below the knee. The bullet passed through the flesh, muscles and bones, and yet the man kept on fighting for some hours after receiving the wound not realizing that he had been seriously injured. It was found that the bone had not been splintered, and there was no hemorrhage, and in a very few days the soldier was up and about with his compatriots. If this wound had been made by an ordinary bullet it would very probably have "mushroomed" and torn the tissues, arteries and flesh and splintered the bones, necessitating amputation. The use of the Mauser bullet by the Spanish, perhaps, accounts for the very small mortality in the ranks of the insurgents, and it is because the latter use the old-fashioned bullets, and almost any kind of a firearm that they can get hold of, that they wreak havoc with the Spanish whenever they come together in an engagement. Swallowed a Young Lion The Snake had to be Killed Before the Cub Could be Rescued. "McKinley," a cub lion, was dozing beside the stove in the winter quarter of Lemon Brothers' circus, in Argentine time, Mo., the other morning. Around the room were the animal cages containing the little creatures of the jungle placidly passing the time away for the circus season to open. Not far from the little sleeping lion cub stood several large boxes of snakes, which have to be kept near the stove to prevent the reptiles from freezing. There was not a human being in the room. It was still as death. Suddenly the head of a large South American boa constrictor appeared above one of the boxes. It rose slowly into the air until about two feet off its body was in sight. Its evil little eyes sparkled, and it twisted its head. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1897.

Then its head dropped over the side of the box and began moving across the floor. It was a monster reptile, and it moved cautiously and with its eyes fixed on McKinley. The snake moved up to within a few feet of the lion cub, when it paused. The cub's tail was closest to the snake. It glided closer yet, and then drew the tail into its mouth. As the tail disappeared the snake drew closer and closer to the cub's body, and then with a wide spreading of its jaws it took in the entire hindquarters of cub. McKinley awoke and began to cry in a plaintive voice. Swiftly its body disappeared and louder grew its cries. The mother heard the cries of her offspring, and looking between the bars of her cage comprehended the situation at a glance. She sprang to the bars and let out a roar that brought every animal in every cage to its feet, and pandemonium broke loose. The mother roared incessantly, while the lions joined in the chorus; even the sea lions bellowed, and soon the elephants began to trumpet. Only McKinley was silent. All of his body had passed inside the snake's jaws except a small part of its head and his front paws. There was a self-satisfied look on the snake's face. The turmill of the animals reached the circus attaches in another building and they Greeks comparatively light. The correspondent adds: "The Greek fleet has destroyed half the fortresses at Prevesa and silenced the guns. I am assured that the bombarding will be continued to-morrow (Monday) morning. The latest news received here to-night is that the Greeks have captured and held all positions except Ana and Milouna along the Thessalian line. I have had access to an important document from an European capital showing that the powers have done nothing for several weeks, because they hoped that Greece would either be financially ruined or soundly beaten by Turkey. If Turkey gets Larissa, she will remain there until Greece evacuates Crete. It was Germany that urged Turkey to declare war." LONDON, April 18.-The news of the outbreak of hostilities on the Greek frontier has caused little senation here. The Parliamentary officials and the Turkish Embassy have received no information beyond the fact that war has been declared. The correspondent of the Associated Press understands that Turkey has no idea of territorial conquest, because she is aware that the powers would not sanction an advance to Athens. The idea is that she will first attempt to capture Larissa and then march on Phanarii and Trichala. If these are captured, Turkey would be in a position to compel Greece to comply with the demand of the powers. FOOT OF MILOUNA PASS, April 18.-A fierce battle raged in the pass all night long. The Greeks who entered and descended toward the valley encountered four battalions of Turkish troops who drove them back, and, at the point of the bayonet, rescued the force garrisoning the Turkish block-houses, which the Greeks had encircled before entering the pass. Neshad Pasha, commanding the fifth division, occupied Mt. Harnia with a great force, while Hairi Pasha, commanding the sixth division, prepared to enter the Tschaisahn Pass, and Haidar Pasha with the fourth division occupied the Milouna Pass. Before dawn Edhem Pasha rode out to direct the disposition of the divisions. SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS The Los Angeles chamber of mercy has petitioned the chief of weather bureau to establish a forecast office in that city, for the section and distribution of weather conditions and indications. The Spanish Minister at Washington has received a telegram from the mander of the Spanish forces at Madrid announcing the end of the rebellion in the Philippines. Under the prompt amnesty 22,000 men laid down arms and were pardoned. A suit in equity has been filed in Federal Court at Los Angeles on part of the Boston Safe Deposit Trust Company against San Francisco Land and Town Company. It is based on the issue of $500,000 of bonds which it is alleged the interest been defaulted. Foreclosure is also as well as the appointment of a receiver and the sale of the property. Captain Wallace of the steer Walla Walla, which arrived in Francisco from the north on Saturday brought with him a small flock of migrating birds in his cabin; he remained several hundred that boarded his wagon night before fifteen miles off coast. The birds perched everywhere and some of them found their way to the captain's cabin. Pedestrians, carriages and bicycles thronged Riverside drive in New York on Saturday and it is estimated over a hundred thousand people visited Grant's tomb. Not until the bride doors of the Mausoleum were closed 5:30 o'clock did the crowd diminish any extent on the plaza in front of monument. A number of prominent people had tickets admitting them to the interior of the monument. Sheriff Nichols has landed two miles in the county jail charged with carrying fire at the Postoffice at Tufton on the night of March 28th, when robbers procured about $200, cash stamps.

Since the Mauser bullet was initially so generally adopted by the nations of the civilized world, follow the military and surgical have been anxious for unity to study it in a practical man, such as war alone affords. J. Herbert Stevens, a physiurgeon, who has been in Cuba thus, has observed the effect bullet. He says there is no hope soldier who stands behind a protection when this bullet is passes through the trunks as much apparent case as through a cheese. Men struck bullets have been known to fighting to the end of the battle, they had received what is supposed to be a mortal almost every case the bullet through the victim's body, and of exit is usually no larger entrance. Old-fashioned bullet usually round and round, tearing the arteries, muscles and flesh, and in contact with a bone, shattering splinters. The wound of would generally be large insert a man's fist. Over a man was hit in the arm one of these old bullets it was necessary to perform if the victim did not die from hemorrhage. With war bullet all this is said to beince in the Cuban war has tested that only very infrequent wound caused by a Mauser bullet in a hemorrhage which fatal, except where one of theuries has been torn or served. In point may be cited: A Culter was shot through the right round, which, if caused by an bullet, would be considered the Cuban went on fighting hours after knowing he was was practically no hemorrhage with such surgical treatment could be given him, even in limited hospital department he was up and about in body disappeared and louder grew its cries. The mother heard the cries of her offspring, and looking between the bars of her cage comprehended the situation at a glance. She sprang to the bars and let out a roar that brought every animal in every cage to its feet, and pandemonium broke loose. The mother roared incessantly, while the lions joined in the chorus; even the sea lions bellowed, and soon the elephants began to trumpet. Only McKinley was silent. All of his body had passed inside the snake's jaws except a small part of its head and his front paws. There was a self-satisfied look on the snake's face. The turmoil of the animals reached the circus attaches in another building and they ran quickly to the scene. They comprehended matters at a glance. One of them ran to the elephants, while tugging at their chains and still trumpeting, and with an iron prod quieted them. Others tried to extricate McKinley. The snake, like a miserable coward, tried to sneak away, but was caught and held. Then the men caught McKinley by the paws and the other men held the snake and they all pulled together, but he stayed where he was. He either refused or couldn't come out, Occasionally a little more of him slipped inside. Matters were approaching a crisis. It was either the life of the snake or the cub. A quick consultation was held, and it was decided to sacrifice the South African native. Knives were procured and the snake was cut in two. When the blades penetrated its flesh it seemed to realize its position, and struggled with its captors, the men finally falling upon it and holding it still. The snake was handicapped by its meal. It did not take long to sever the body, and they then tried to pull the cub through, but it stuck and stuck tight. It was necessary to split the snake's jaws and pry open before the cub could be released. Then McKinley was taken out, more dead than alive. The snake was one that had been with the show for many years. The cub is one of the twins born just prior to the last election. Being born in captivity and an exceptionally fine specimen, he was highly prized. Last November, just prior to the election, one of the lions gave birth to two whelps. Both were males, and in keeping with the spirits of the times, named them Bryan and McKinley. Just before election the cub called Bryan sickened and died. McKinley, on the contrary grew sleek and fat, and met with no mishap until the escapade of a day or two ago. After the attendants had given McKinley a bath and a careful rubbing, he appeared to be quite recovered from the squeezing he had undergone, and gamboled about the building quite as happy and care-free as ever. THE WAR IN THE EAST. The Unspeakable Turk Declares War Against the Greeks. ATHENS, April 18.—Assim Bey has handed to M. Skouzes, the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, the following note: “In consequence of the aggressive attitude of Greece, diplomatic relations between the King of Hellenes and His Imperial Majesty, the Sultan of Turkey and their respective governments are hereby broken.” The Greek Minister at Constantinople and the Greek counsuls have been ordered to quit Turkish territory. For the same reason the Turkish consuls in Greece have been recalled to Constantinople. FOOT OF MILOUNA PASS, April 18. A fierce battle raged in the pass all night long. The Greeks who entered and descended toward the valley encountered four battalions of Turkish troops who drove them back, and, at the point of the bayonet, rescued the force garrisoning the Turkish block-houses, which the Greeks had encircled before entering the pass. Neshad Pasha, commanding the fifth division, occupied Mt. Harnia with a great force, while Hairi Pasha, commanding the sixth division, prepared to enter the Tschaisahn Pass, and Haldar Pasha with the fourth division occupied the Milouna Pass. Before dawn Edem Pasha rode out to direct the disposition of the divisions. A general engagement ensued. The battle still continued along the entire pass, over twenty thousand men being engaged. The combat turned on the possession of the Greek blockhouse, which was most obstinately defended. Several vigorous attacks were made by the Turks without success, but finally, about 9 o'clock, by a magnificent dash they took the blockhouse at the point of the bayonet. The Greeks are defending their positions on the summit of the hill. At the present moment four battalions of Menduk Pasha's division are advancing to the frontier positions already taken. The Turks are fighting like demons, the Turkish artillery doing splendid execution under the command of Riza Pasha. The correspondent of the Associated Press says: “I regret to have announced the death of Hafliz Pasha at Milouna. The battle is still undecided, but the Turks, without calling up the reserves, have taken almost the whole pass. It is impossible to give details as to losses. I saw many groups of wounded men, but they were mostly on the heights. Ambulances have been sent to bring them in. THE WAR IN CUBA. WASHINGTON, April 16.—According to information received from trustworthy sources, the withdrawal of at least a part of the great army Spain has maintained for several years in the Island of Cuba will begin when the rainy season sets in, within a few days. The initial movement will be the departure of 10,000 Spanish troops from Havana tor Spain, and within a short time 30,000 troops, it is understood, will withdraw. The Spanish insist positively that it means only that little or nothing of the insurrection remains; that Gomez has only fifty or a hundred followers, and to watch these under the conditions in which the campaign has been necessarily conducted, a few thousand are quite as effective as the 180,000 men now in Cuba. The Cuban contingent, on the other hand, insist that Spanish financial resources are exhausted, and the troops are to be withdrawn because of lack of money to keep them in service. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.—Notice has been served on the Spanish Government informally but still in unmistakable terms that this Government recognizes a state of civil war in Cuba, which demands the treatment of prisoners taken in action by either side different from that accorded thus far. The immediate cause of this notice was the capture of Rivera and the report that he would be tried by drum courtmartial and shot. The President immediately afterthe news of fate in store forthe prisoner was received directed Secretary Sherman to draw up a protest againstthe contemplated action of Weyler. Upon second considerationthe protest took a less formal shape.

Skouzes, the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, the following note: "In consequence of the aggressive attitude of Greece, diplomatic relations between the King of Hellenes and His Imperial Majesty, the Sultan of Turkey and their respective governments are hereby broken off." The Greek Minister at Constantinople and the Greek counsuls have been ordered to quit Turkish territory. For the same reason the Turkish consuls in Greece have been recalled to Constantinople. Within a fortnight of this announcement, all Greek subjects must leave Turkish territory. Ottoman subjects now on Greek territory have been invited to leave it within the same period. ATHENS, April 18.—Midnight—The government has addressed a note to Assim Bey, expressing surprise at the allegations contained in his note to M. Skouzes, and pointing to facts proving that Turkey is the aggressor. The government disclaims all responsibility for events that may occur. The Metropolitan of Athens has ordered prayers in all the churches for the success of the Greek arms. ATHENS, April 18—There was a late sitting of the legislative assembly which was held to-day. The public galleries were crowded. Amid intense excitement, M. Delyannis, the Premier, announced that the Turkish government had to-day notified Greece of the rupture of diplomatic relations on the ground of the aggressive attitude of the Greek government. In a cool, but deliberate speech, he reviewed recent events, to show, on the contrary, that Turkey had been the aggressor; that her troops had attacked the Greeks and attempted to occupy neutral positions and that her batteries at Prevesa had sunk the Greek ship Macedonia. "Turkey," said M. Delyannis, "declares war against us. We accept it." This statement was received with prolonged cheers from the galleries and the floor of the chamber. LONDON, April 18.—The Athens correspondent of the Times says: "The key to the Milouna Pass is Menexa, a position of the greatest importance, where the Turks are strongly entrenched. The latest news to-night (Sunday; 11 p.m.), is that the Turkish force still holds their ground at that point. CORFU, April 18.—Fierce fighting has been in progress on the frontier near Arta, and it is rumored the Greeks have taken Menexa by assault. LONDON, April 18.—A dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Athens, dated at midnight, says the Greeks have captured Menexa, after severe fighting. The Turkish losses were heavy, the WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.—Notice has been served on the Spanish Government informally but still in unmistakable terms that this Government recognizes a state of civil war in Cuba, which demands the treatment of prisoners taken in action by either side different from that accorded thus far. The immediate cause of this notice was the capture of Rivera and the report that he would be tried by drumhead courtmartial and shot. The President immediately after the news of the fate in store for the prisoner was received directed Secretary Sherman to draw up a protest against the contemplated action of Weyler. Upon second consideration the protest took a less formal shape. Instead of being delivered to the Spanish Minister in writing De Lome was sent for by Sherman and informed as to the views of the Government. This verbal protest, no less explicit than that previously drafted had its effect, for Rivera is still living. Those who have seen the draft of the original note say it expresses friendliness to Spain, but refuses to consider the insurgents as traitors or murderers, and insists that they are soldiers entitled to more civilized treatment. It declares that American citizens who are pursuing lawful occupations will be held entitled to the protection of the law. In their behalf no efforts will be spared by this administration should they be arrested. Policeman Krafts of Chicago accidentally shot and killed his sweetheart, Lottie Jacobs, while cleaning a revolver. The bullet entered Miss Jacobs' left arm near the elbow, followed the bone upward and pierced the heart. The woman fell to the floor dead, and Krafts, not waiting to learn the extent of her injuries, rushed from the house in search of a physician. In the meantime the police had been notified, and when Krafts returned he was confronted by Capt. Baer. Then for the first time Krafts learned that the woman was dead, and it was all that Capt. Baer could do to prevent the man from killing himself. The couple were to have been married within a week. Two years ago R. J. Warren, a druggist at Pleasant Brook, N.Y., bought a small supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He sums up the result as follows: "At that time the goods were unknown in this section; to-day Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a household word." It is the same in hundreds of communities. Wherever the good qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy become known, the people will have nothing else. For sale by P. A. Derge. Dry stove wood delivered at $6 per cord, novtf C. Otto Rust.

Captain Wallace of the steamer Walla, which arrived in San Francisco from the north on Saturday night with him a small flock of humbirds in his cabin, the remnant of a hundred that boarded his vessel right before fifteen miles off the coast. The birds perched everywhere home of them found their way into captain's cabin. Restrians, carriages and bicycles led Riverside drive in New York Saturday and it is estimated that a hundred thousand people visited Mr. tomb. Not until the bronze of the Mausoleum were closed at Pelock did the crowd diminish to extent on the plaza in front of the monument. A number of prominent men had tickets admitting them to interior of the monument. Griff Nichols has landed two men county jail charged with cracking safe at the Postoffice at Tustin, the night of March 28th, when they procured about $200, cash and bills. One of the men is Fred Keller; the other is Ed Wheeler a young man about 21 years old, believed to be professional safe breaker from Chicago. Mrs. Elizabeth R. Tilton, the wife of Henry Ward Beecher's accuser, died on Tuesday of last week at her home in Brooklyn, but the news of her death was not made public until some days after. Since the famous Beecher trial she had lived in strict retirement, and in recent years had shared her home with her widowed daughter. Even the fact of her death was kept secret, and there were no external signs of mourning about the house, where her body lay. Theodore Tilton, her husband, is in Paris, where he has lived ever since the Beecher trial. For a long time Mrs. Tilton was almost totally blind, but less than a year ago she underwent a difficult operation and regained her sight. About a month ago she suffered a paralytic stroke, from which she was slowly recovering, when she was again stricken. Few were admitted to the funeral services. With a pained expression on his face R. Pitcher Woodward, son of Judge B. W. Woodward of Brooklyn, N.Y., arrived in Chicago a few days ago from New York city, whence he had traveled with "Macornia," a dwarfed mule. San Francisco is the destination of the young man, and he must arrive at the Palace Hotel by noon of November 3rd or he will lose $5000. Young Woodward bet $5000 by Bryan. At noon November 27th Woodward left New York. He was to either ride on his mule or walk the entire distance within a year or he was to forfeit the $5000. He left without money and must not borrow, beg or steal while on the journey. Woodward is also compelled to sell pictures of himself and mule with the inscription "Two jackasses" on the picture. Senator Perkins was given an extended hearing before the Senate Committee on Finance on the California fruit schedule. The Senator presented the committee with samples of both California and foreign currants and raisins, and asked for an increase of the rate on Zante currants, bringing it up to 21 cents per pound.

It was suggested to Princess de Chimay failed to make her extensively advertised debut in Paris, and was only induced to renounce the performance after an interview with the Prefect of Police who threatened to close the hall and expel her from France if she carried out her intentions of appearing on the stage in public. The Princess is reported to have gone to the south of France. It is said that the Prefect's action was due to the influence of Prince de Chimay and several leading members of the Jockey Club. In addition, the police learned that the friends of the Prince intended to create a scandal in the music hall, pelit her with rotten eggs and dead rabbits and perhaps invade the stage and administer physical correction. Chicago has seen about the last of this year's crop of California navel oranges, a dispatch from that town announces. They have all left California and the comparatively few boxes en route will be both on and off the Chicago market within a week. The market at the close of the season is firm and better prices are secured for the fruit than when it was more plentiful. Where from 96 to 112 are packed in a box the present price is about $3 25. Choice fruit running about 126 to the box is quoted at $3 @ 350, and fancy fruit $3 75@4. Shipments of California pie plant have been stopped because it cannot compete with the Illinois article. California celery is doing well, but shipments will be over in ten days. Arthur Moner a Los Angeles man familiarly known about town as "Mose," left last week for Berlin, to take possession of a fortune estimated at about $200,000. Moses would probably be in ignorance of his good luck to this day had not McKinley been elected last November. He was an enthuiastic Bryan man, and being out of work, devoted his time to attending meetings at the Wigwam and participating in curbstone debates. The result of the election convinced Mose that there was no hope for him here, and he decided to write to his people in Germany, a thing he had not done in twelve years. The reply informed him that he was a Griff Nichols has landed two men county jail charged with cracking the safe at the Postoffice at Tustin, the night of March 28th, when the men procured about $200, cash and goods. One of the men is Fred Keller, the other is Ed Wheeler a young man about 21 years old, believed to be professional safe breaker from Chicago. Both men are believed to have implicated in Santa Monica, earlier and other safe robberies that occurred in Southern California recently. He is at the University of California Berkeley Friday afternoon entirely involved the building occupied as the home of Agriculture. The fire is lived to have started either from explosion in the chemical laboratory, from heat, generated by the use of a scrubber. The building contained intensive chemicals and laboratory apes and many valuable documents cannot be replaced. The loss is estimated at $40,000. The building was one-story frame structure. Lis Safe and Lock company of San Francisco has begun suit against the supervisors of Orange county 1980 alleged due to work and malfeasance on the county jail to then & Bergstrom. They ask for damages for the board's refusal of the money when demanded on real occasions. By a recent order, Superior Court all money due contractors by the supervisors was turned into the courts charge, what the creditors are there to for their claims against Hulteen Westrom. Professor L. Bruter of the Nebraska University has departed for New York Hill on Saturday take a steamer that point for Buenos Ayres. The professor will remain in South America a year, studying the habits of grasshoppers that have been depriving crops to a large extent for a number of years in that country. He paid by an Argentine syndicate inmine into and recommend the method of getting rid of the pest. Professor was recommended for position by officers of the Federal government to which the Argentine state appealed for advice. Ms. McFatridge of Ontario, about ages of age, wife of J. W. McFaure, was found at her home in an bound, gagged and chloroformed, dry morning, and with evidences of operate struggle about her. She apparently cut her assailant with knife, as there was blood on the hand and on the floor. While her hand was away, two strange men, from she cannot give a very clear explanation except to say that one of them was an old man, and that both like tramps, came to the house demanded that she give them dined on her refusing to do so, they asked her. The impression prevails that the American ship Samaria from Seattle San Francisco, coal laden, has gone below the sea, and the cone grows stronger day by day, as things come from the overdue vesicle. The Alcalde left Seattle simultaneously with the Samaria and arrived in Francisco April 2. March 25th Alcalde encountered a terrible east gate, and after being in com- Senator Perkins was given an extended hearing before the Senate Committee on Finance on the California fruit schedule. The Senator presented the committee with samples of both California and foreign currants and raisins, and asked for an increase of the rate on Zante currants, bringing it up to 2½ cents per pound. He also suggested a duty of a cent a pound on oranges and lemons, instead of three quarters of a cent, as fixed by the Dingley hill. It was suggested to Perkins by some of the members of the committee that the fruit schedule had already been attacked because the rates to be charged were too high; but the California Senator contended for thorough protection. Perkins suggested a substitute schedule on beet sugar, providing for a duty of 1 cent a pound on sugar testing 70 per cent by the polariscope and increasing to 11 cents for the 90 per cent test. The famous Blakesley family of Findlay, O., were robbed and tortured at 3 o'clock Saturday morning by twelve masked robbers. The family consists of Mrs. Rebecca Blakesley, Eliza Blakesley, a daughter, and John Smith Blakesley, sons. They were the possessors of valuable oil fields, and are known as misers. The common report is that for years they have hoarded money in the house. The burglars broke into the room where all four slept, and a desperate fight ensued. John and Smith were beaten into insensibility, and Mrs. Blakesley and her daughter were bound and foot Torches were applied to their feet to make them reveal the hiding place of the treasure without avail. The robbers ransacked the house and found in a bureau drawer $5,000 in bills and three gold watches. Eliza was the first to release herself and summoned help from the city. John Blakesley is in a critical condition and it is feared he will die. Smith's head was cut open and the feet of both women were badly burned. Charles E. Caney, 42 years of age, and Jessie Strehl, 19 years old, both residents of the town of Golden Gate, eloped. An angry father is on the trail of the pair, and will invoke the aid of the law in bringing them back. He cannot prevent their marriage, but unfortunately for Caney, the latter carried away with him a suit of clothes belonging to his sweetheart's brother, and it is by swearing to a warrant charging him with petty larceny that the father, or more correctly speaking, the stepfather, Charles W. Sprague, expects to locate and cause the return of his daughter and Caney. Miss Strehl is a handsome blonde of small stature. Her parents say they cannot understand what induced her to leave home with Caney. Both her father and mother profess the greatest surprise over the whole affair, and declare that they did not know that Caney was paying attention to their daughter. The eloping pair are believed to have gone to Los Angeles, and the irate father will make an effort to locate them. The Hibernian Bank last week put on record a mortgage given by E.J. Baldwin for $85,000 covering the Baldwin Hotel property and annex, his home on California street near Jones, and other San Francisco property and his ranches in Los Angeles county. The indebtedness is payable in one year and bears 6¼ per cent interest per annum. In addition to the mortgage, the bank filed an assignment from Baldwin for the rent and all other in- Arthur Moner a Los Angeles man familiarly known about town as "Mose," left last week for Berlin, to take possession of a fortune estimated at about $200,000. Moses would probably be in ignorance of his good luck to this day had not McKinley been elected last November. He was an enthusiastic Bryan man, and being out of work, devoted his time to attending meetings at the Wigwam and participating in curbstone debates. The result of the election convinced Mose that there was no hope for him here, and he decided to write to his people in Germany, a thing he had not done in twelve years. The reply informed him that he was a wealthy man and had been since 1890. It also contained a draft for a substantial amount to defray his expenses home. His reason destroyed by the spurning of his love, Martin Mowry of Pascoag, R.I., murdered Servillia Reynolds, the object of his adoration, and her foster parents, Edward and Mary Reynolds, afterward firing the building in which the crime was committed. The fire was discovered at 3 o'clock in the morning, when Mr. Reynolds' body was found in the hallway burned beyond recognition. When the ruins cooled Mrs. Reynold's body, frightfully hacked, and partially incinerated, was found. Later the girl's body was picked up. Mowry was found hiding in a barn hopelessly insane. He is 68 years old and was employed by Reynolds as a farmer. Servillia was 20. After deciding to commit Mowry as insane the officials concluded to put him on trial. He pleaded not guilty and was committed till April 21. He made two attempts at suicide. Gov. Budd signed the teachers' annuity fund bill and the measure is now law. The bill provides that any teacher who has served for thirty years and who has paid annual installments into the annuity fund for that length of time shall be entitled to retire and to receive from such fund the sum of $30 a month payable quarterly. If during the thirty years which the act requires a teacher to serve; a teacher becomes through sickness or injury, incapacitated for work; such a teacher is entitled to receive an annuity in proportion to the amount paid in the same to cease when he or she return to work. The annuity fund is created by deducting $12 per year from the salaries paid to teachers. To this is to be added all money; gifts or bequests to the fund and all moneys forfeited; deducted or withheld from the salary of any teacher on account of absence or any other cause. After lying in a man's coffin at Leavenworth, Ind., for more than thirty years a will has been exhumed, the terms of which are likely to increase troublesome litigation among heirs of the man who had the document buried with him. Jacob Kissingen was the man. The will was found by accident, because when Kissingen died, although a will was believed to have been made, nobody could find it. So the heirs went to law and have been at it for three decades. A few days ago a dispute arose which could be cleared up by the family Bible. The grave was opened and the book taken out. It was in good state of preservation, and when opened, to the surprise of everybody, disclosed a will. By the terms of the document found in the grave property of Kissingen is divided equally between five children, one of them residing in Germany, and born of Kissingen's first wife. This is where the new trouble began. None of the four American heirs ever heard of The impression prevails that the American ship Samaria from Seattle San Francisco, coal laden, has gone bottom of the sea, and the concession grows stronger day by day, as things come from the overdue vessel. The Alcalde left Seattle simultaneously with the Samaria and arrived in Francisco April 2. March 25th Alcalde encountered a terrible seast gale, and after being in comwith the Samaria four days, the ships unintentionally separated. Theade took in her sails, but the Sad did not reef her canvass. The Maria was laden so deep in the water that she seas broke over her, and she swayed badly in the trough of the storm. The Alcalde had hard work saverself, and only escaped from the storm by throwing out oil which moderated the force of the immediately about her. On the evening day the wind moderated, but it was no sign of the Samaria. The wreckage was drifting about and Alcalde's officers saw a set of steps and a corpse tangled in a rope, which drifted astern. Alcalde's captain is confident that Samaria and all of her crew are at bottom of the sea. After a search of four years Edwin Mohler, a millionaire lumberman of neapolis, located his divorced wife their eight-year-old child in Pasadena where the woman had been living for the past five months under the roof of Austin, she having married him. The story of her disappearance strange one. She and her husband were married in Minneapolis ten years and in 1893 a divorce was granted on the ground of incompatibility, receiving the custody of the child. In months later Mohler became conscious of the health of the child and needed for its custody. After many things and a bitter fight, he was freed the child, but his wife frustrated this by mysteriously disappearwith the infant son. She had to go out that she was going to Floridant really came to California, setting in Los Angeles. Detectives led the country and finally located in Pasadena. A deputy sheriff went to Pasadena, but the woman, led by a friend, managed to keep his sight for five hours, leading an exciting chase all over the city. Finally she was cornered and herself up. Habeas corpus proctions were instituted, and after a battle the woman was awarded custody of the child. The Hibernian Bank last week put on record a mortgage given by E. J. Baldwin for $85,000 covering the Baldwin Hotel property and annex, his home on California street near Jones, and other San Francisco property and his ranches in Los Angeles county. The indebtedness is payable in one year and bears 64 per cent interest per annum. In addition to the mortgage, the bank filed an assignment from Baldwin for the rent and all other income from his business property to secure the payment of interest on the several loans which have been made to him. His total indebtedness to the bank, as represented by mortgages, now aggregates $1,670,000. When questioned regarding the new loan Baldwin said: "I have borrowed the money to pay other obligations, preferring to borrow rather than to sell any property during the present depression in prices. There is no foundation for the rumor that I am in danger of bankruptcy. I have enough unincumbered property left on which I might borrow a million or two. The passage of a protective tariff will make all of my enterprises pay and make it easy for me to pay all I owe." The details recently furnished to the Senate by President McKinley, regarding the various sums paid by the United States to other nations as indemnity for outrages on foreigners in this country, affords a very forcible argument against mob violence and lynch law. For example, the anti-Chinese riots at Rock Springs, Wyo., cost the United States nearly $150,000, which was paid in 1887. Two years later the Chinese minister was paid $276,619 for losses and injuries sustained by Chinese subjects in the United States. In 1892 Secretary Blaine paid $24,330 to Italy as indemnity for the massacre of Italian prisoners at New Orleans on March 14, 1891. Last year's deficiency appropriation carried $15,800 for indemnity for outrages on various foreigners. In all not far from $450,000 has been paid by this government during the past ten years on account of outrages on foreign subjects in the United States. The worst feature about the whole affair is that while the Federal Government has been repeatedly mulleted in heavy damages, in none of the instances mentioned have the States whose citizens' lawlessness gave rise to the claims, reimbursed the national treasury for the outlay it was compelled to make, because the authorities of the States concerned did not take the necessary steps to preserve the peace. The grave was opened and the book taken out. It was in good state of preservation, and, when opened, to the surprise of everybody, disclosed a will. By the terms of the document found in the grave the property of Kissingen is divided equally between five children, one of them residing in Germany, and born of Kissingen's first wife. This is where the new trouble began. None of the four American heirs ever heard of the father's first marriage. New York speculators actively canvassed the houses along the line of the Grant monument parade, endeavoring to secure window privileges. In many cases entire houses were secured and permits for the erection of stands in front of them obtained. It is estimated that the stands to be constructed will seat at least 75,000 persons. The Grant monument is now completed, the only work remaining to be done being the polishing of the marble and brushing of the bronze doors. The armored steel case, containing General Grant's body, will be opened, so that the coffin can be taken out. It is officially denied that any of the rivets which fastened the covering of this casing were sold by workmen as souvenirs. The rivets were not removed, the workmen simply drilled through the top of them, which was all that was necessary to open the case. The steel case is to be disposed of at the will of Colonel Grant. It will probably be destroyed. Fresno vineyardists are alarmed over the ravages of the vinehopper on growing vines which threaten to destroy the coming crop of grapes. Already they have come forth in such great numbers that they have in places sapped the growing canes and fruit forms of their vitality. They do not feed upon the structure of the vine, but sap its strength by sucking the juice of the tender cane and leaf. The insects seem to be migratory, or rather the air is full of them from 10 o'clock in the morning until night, and as a result the treated vines are immediately restocked with the pests. A telegram was sent to Professor Hilgard of the State University asking that experts come immediately to study the pest and devise means for its destruction. Reports show the vine-hopper fewer in number and the damage least where vineyards are plowed early and deep. The depredations extend to rose-bushes and other plants, and where they have done their deadly work the leaf has a pepper-and-salt appearance.
