The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... AUGUST 12, 1897 OFF FOR THE KLONDYKE. Charley Rogers departed yesterday morning for San Francisco, whence he sailed for Seattle, en route to the gold fields of the Klondyke. He goes to the northern gold fields as the representative of a quartet of well-known citizens of Anaheim, and will take with him ample means and provisions to last during a year. At San Francisco he will lay in his stock of supplies, one of the items being three burros, with which he will pack his outfit over the Chilcoot pass. Charles expected to be accompanied by Arthur Lewis and Clarence Groat, but owing to business matters both gentlemen find it impossible to get away. Mr. Rogers will not be alone on his trip, however, for in San Francisco he expects to meet with Mr. Winningstad, the gentleman who surveyed the Alamitos railroad, and who expects to make the northern trip with him. The trip will consume two months. The terrors of the journey at this season are calculated to appall the stoutest heart, but our adventuresome townman is resolute, has been in snow before, and feels sustained in the best wishes of a host of friends that follow him for the best of luck to attend him on his trip. Reports of various character have come down from the north relative to the nature of the obstacles to be encountered on the trip—some, that the dangers have been exaggerated, others that they are well-nigh insurmountable. However, there can be no doubt that after leaving Dyea and civilization behind one, the voyage over the divide, through the lakes and shooting the rapids, and on through the snow to the gold fields is attended with such hardship that only the hardiest of men should set out to attempt it. Yet facture of any foreign country not contiguous to the United States, shall come into the ports of the United States from such contiguous country." As it may be interpreted by the Treasury Department this clause will mean that hereafter all importations from Asiatic countries brought into this country in bond over the Canadian Pacific from Victoria will have to pay a differential duty of 10 per cent, in addition to the duty regularly imposed by the tariff bill. That the purpose of the beet raisers of this section to stand for a raise in the price of beets to be grown next year, is, as we said last week, earnest and widespread among the farmers of this section, was evidenced, to our mind at least, on Tuesday morning, when a delegation of the largest beet raisers in the county called in to assure us of their appreciation and approval of our reference last week to the necessity for an increase in the price. Perhaps our figures last week should be subjected to some slight modification, for we do not wish to place the Chino factory people in a bad light, or reckon their profits at too exorbitant a figure; but the enormous gains of the factory are so apparent, that revise the figures as we may, there can be no gainsaying the fact that the cleanup this year will be well up over the half million dollar mark. The original estimates of the output of sugar placed the probable yield this year at 40,000,-000 pounds. Latterly these estimates have been shaded by Mr. Hache to 35,-000,000 pounds, and during the week we have been informed the output would not be over 30,000,000 pounds. However, accepting Mr. Hache's figures as being the nearest to the correct estimate, and multiplying them by two (the net profit on sugar being estimated to be at least two cents per pound) and our readers will be in position to arrive at an excellent estimate as to the profits of the factory. Moreover, the profit may be 24 cents per pound, as we are informed; and in that case, the man with a taste for figures can arrive at the profits of the factory at a glance. Last year the profits were estimated at a cent and a half per pound, and the favorable outlook for the com- PFENINGER'S INSOMNIA Caused by the Thrashing Admiral by Jacob Wintter—Heavy Dam Asked. "Dr." Pfeninger has brought through his attorney H. W. Weth, against Jacob Wintter, dying damages in the sum of $750 in punishment administered to Wintter in June. The papers case have been filed with the Clerk, and the complaint reads follows: Plaintiff complains and alleges on the tenth day of June, 1897, was in his vineyard in the co-Orange, State of California, engtopping his vines in said vineyard. That while plaintiff was so eased in tipping said vines, defendant said vineyard on said 10th June, 1897, and without any provocation therefor, with great and violence did then and there plaintiff; that defendant then an threw his arms around plaintiff and held this plaintiff; defend his clenched first struck plaintiff blows on the right side of his face at the time defendant struck him against plaintiff's back; that at stant defendant's knee struck plaintiff back, defendant forced plaintiff backward. That by reason of said blows tiff's face and nose were greatly ed; that by reason of said bruises ceived, plaintiff was made so disordered in his body and mained for a long space of time; reason of said bruises plaintiff wifined to his house for two weeks. That by reason of the bruises ceived, the nerves of plaintiff were injured; that since plaintiff ceived said blows he has had sash has violent neuralgic pains in his that said pains in plaintiff's face caused by reason of said bruises. That by reason of forcing ploody backward as aforesaid, reason of said blows on plaintiff plaintiff's nervous system was satis that since plaintiff received said and said shock he has had expains in his head; that said pain head were caused by reason of said bruises. That said bruises and said saince received as aforesaid, injured ploody brain; that since plaintiff receive bruises and said shock he has been now is afflicted with insomnia; that insomnia was caused by reason of bruises and said shock; that said saince will do does permanent Reports of various character have come down from the north relative to the nature of the obstacles to be encountered on the trip—some, that the dangers have been exaggerated, others that they are well-nigh insurmountable. However, there can be no doubt that after leaving Dyea and civilization behind one, the voyage over the divide, through the lakes and shooting the rapids, and on through the snow to the gold fields is attended with such hardship that only the hardiest of men should set out to attempt it. Yet where a year ago the trip over the divide was one characterized by extreme loneliness as well as hardship, now there are thousands in the pass; the trail, to employ the expressive vernacular of the prospector, is to-day a "hot one," and thousands of people are pouring into the country from all points of the compass. All these stories of lonesome deaths, of starvation and hardships untold, are the meerest nonsense. Dangers must be braved, of course, but the miner with the hardihood to push over the divide and reach the gold fields before the rush of tens of thousands who will set out for the north in the spring, is the one who will reap the richest reward. This will not be the first time our fellow-townsman has been in the snow. While running a survey for the Union Pacific across the main range of the Rocky mountains in Montana in the Fall of 1887, at a time when the snow was already deep in the mountain passes, he was cut off from the rest of the party by a big blizzard that sprang up, sending the snow flying so that neither track nor trail nor mountain could be seen. Mr. Rogers was separated from the rest of his party for two weeks, and was given up for lost. He succeeded in rejoining the others of the party after a separation from them during a fortnight, after which the whole party were snow bound for four weeks. They had the good luck to kill four deer during this time, else the whole party must have perished. The deer had come down to the spring with the unerring instinct of self-preservation during the height of the storm, and were killed with clubs. The snow was so deep and soft the deer could not get away. After being snow-bound for six weeks their provisions ran out, and the party was very near starvation, when a Union Pacific rescue party—the third that had been sent out since the blizzard—came upon them, the party having made its way over into Idaho. Mr. Rogers says he was never so thrilled as when he beheld the rescuing party. He had broken his compass, and had lost his bearings. His first fancy was that he had run upon some den of free booters at their rendezvous up in the mountain fastnesses. When the lost ones realized that a rescuing party had found them at last, after searching for them during six weeks, they were greatly affected. Their return to their homes was a joyous one. Here they found that they been given up for dead, and their home coming was a joyous and long-to-be-remembered one. JUDGE BALLARD has rendered a decision relative to that part of the County Government Act passed by the last Legislature affecting the compensation paid the court reporter, holding the same to be unconstitutional. Much nonsensical stuff appeared in print relative to the effect of the decision on the salaries of the other county officials, and we are informed the impression prevails among the county officials at Santa Ana that the effect of the decision will be nullify the act reducing their salaries. A perusal of Judge Ballard's opinlon scarcely warrants this assumption. The Judge's decision is based upon the ground that, as regards the reporter's salary, special legislation was had in this: That the reporter is not designated as a county official; and in the absence of any uniformity in the fixing of the salaries of court reporters in different counties of the state, the spirit of the constitution was violated. Mr. Chynoweth, the framer of that part of the County Government bill would not be over 30,000,000 pounds. However, accepting Mr. Hache's figures as being the nearest to the correct estimate, and multiplying them by two (the net profit on sugar being estimated to be at least two cents per pound) and our readers will be in position to arrive at an excellent estimate as to the profits of the factory. Moreover, the profit may be 24 cents per pound, as we are informed; and in that case, the man with a taste for figures can arrive at the profits of the factory at a glance. Last year the profits were estimated at a cent and a half per pound, and the favorable outlook for the coming season has already made the Oxnards feel themselves impelled to raise the price of beets 25 cents per ton. All farmers having contracts for beets this season will be given an extra 25 cents per ton, the increase on the total crop of 110,000 tons being, as we said last week, $27,500. This increase will give the farmers $3 net per ton for their beets. The contracts were made out at beginning of the season upon a basis of $3 25 per ton, and the farmers pay 50 cents per ton freight to Chino. The gross freight rate is 75 cents per ton, but of this the factory pays 25 cents, leaving the farmers a net rate of 50 cents per ton to pay. Two of the largest beet growers present on Tuesday informed us that last year, with the price $3 50 per ton, they absolutely lost money in raising beets, and only by the exercise of most rigid economy this year would they be able to realize a profit. Many beet raisers have informed us during the year past that they have lost money at the business. As a contrast, let our readers turn to the figures of the output of sugar by the factory, and toll us how the account stands as between the factory owners and the overburdened and down trodden farmers. From one end of the beet fields to the other, four dollars and forty is cry. No more beets will be raised at the present rates, so our informants say; and we hope by co-operation they will succeed in realizing what seems to us to be their just due. A RAILROAD FIGURE The Santa Fe System Having Over a Right-of-Way. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Aug. Judge Myers of the State I Court, having declared that there enworth, Topeka and South Railway company has forfeited right-of-way, is having no little bleu in his efforts to restore them involved to previous owners' line of road, though in his hand receiver, is now operated by The Fe system. In 1896 traffic on the line was donned for two months, and own this fact, Judge Myers decided to G. Stone, a farmer, was entitled possession and title to the right-half which was taken from him building of the line. Accord Judge Myers directed Sheriff Rberger to place Stone in possession of land. The sheriff sent out a ber of deputies and fenced in in bed. At the same time The San officials were notified that the riley way was closed, and the postmaster Leavenworth was notified to seize mails by another route. Mr. Rogers says he was never so thrilled as when he beheld the rescuing party. He had broken his compass, and had lost his bearings. His first fancy was that he had run upon some den of free booters at their rendezvous up in the mountain fastnesses. When the lost ones realized that a rescuing party had found them at last, after searching for them during six weeks, they were greatly affected. Their return to their homes was a joyous one. Here they found that they been given up for dead, and their home coming was a joyous and long-to-be-remembered one. Mr. Rogers takes with him on his trip to Klondyke a mascot in the shape of a canvas bag owned by Gen. John A. Sutter at the time of the discovery of gold by him at Sutter's Fort in 1848. This bag he prizes very highly. He procured it in 1886 from Robert Tschudy, who was a neighbor of Gen. Sutter in Littiz, Penn., where the General passed the declining years of his life, and where the old gentleman gave it to him as a personal memento. Tschudy worked for Rogers while surveying for the Cheyenne and Northern railroad in Montana, and here he gave it to his employer as a keepsake. Mr. Rogers hopes to fill it with gold nuggets once he gets to Dawson. We are sorry to lose our fellow-townsman, even for a year. Of proverbially a retiring disposition, he did not vouchsafe the information until the eve of his departure that in the Idaho blizzard he did not remove his clothing night or day for six weeks. He lived on raw bacon and rice, and the party made its own sleds and snow shoes, without tools, with nothing but their knives and a hatchet, and no nails. Good luck, old friend, be with you; and a speedy voyage and safe return! SOME members of the Tariff Conference Committee injected into the conference report a line that will destroy with a single blow the vast advantage the Canadian Pacific railroad has herefore enjoyed over the roads in the United States and will stop the vast Asiatic importations from Victoria, B.C., which have always gone to American ports of the Canadian Pacific line. Section 22 of the Tariff bill provides that "a discriminating duty of 10 per centum ad valorum, in addition to the duties imposed by law, shall be collected and paid on all goods, wares or merchandise which shall be imported in vessels not of the United States, or which, being the production or manuSanta Ana that the effect of the decision will be to nullify the act reducing their salaries. A perusal of Judge Ballard's opinion scarcely warrants this assumption. The Judge's decision is based upon the ground that, as regards the reporter's salary, special legislation was had in this: That the reporter is not designated as a county official; and in the absence of any uniformity in the fixing of the salaries of court reporters in the different counties of the state, the spirit of the constitution was violated. Mr. Chynoweth, the framer of that part of the County Government bill relating to Orange county, informs us that he made that very objection to the bill when in committee—he held the court reporter should be designated as a county officer and his compensation made according to the usual method in counties of the different classes—in a word, that the operations of the act should be made general and not special. Other members of the Legislature—among them Messrs. Shanahan and Caminetti—were of different opinion, and with others supporting them their view of the matter prevailed. Mr. Chynoweth is inclined to think Judge Ballard's decision is right. Judge Ballard's opinion is a lengthy one, but the gist of it appears in the synopsis printed upon the first page this morning. So far as the decision stands, there is nothing in it affecting the salaries of the other county officials. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A special to the Times from Washington says: "An effort is in progress by influential friends of Secretary Sherman to induce him to leave Washington and go to some quiet retreat where he can rest until fall, and it is the belief inside of administration circles that he will go out of the Cabinet after the November elections. Secretary Sherman's bad condition of health and mind is no longer concealed even by his friends. It was the hope, in fact, the understanding, that when he went to Long Island he would remain there until the President himself returned to Washington. His sudden return to Washington was wholly unexpected, and the results to the diplomatic relations of the United States have been embarrassing. Today Secretary Sherman made an absolute denial of all interviews concerning Canovas' assassination that appeared in the newspapers Monday morning. He seems to remember none of the occurrences of Sunday night, when he brought his chair out on the front stoop and the newspaper men gathered about him and he gave out a variety of interviews. The Secretary's condition is painful to his friends. Physical collapse at any time would create no surprise." John O. Sutte, a carpenter builder of St. Louis, Mo., has awakened twenty-five years. His slumber came so many years ago that he has forgotten what it is like down at night and wake refreshen rejuvenated. Sleep is an unhealthy quantity with Sutte. He either lives on his bed and gazes upon the star if in a restless mood, takes long into the country, returning again break to begin work in his little just north of the house. His brothers call him "the man who sleeps." Sutte attributes his sleeplessness a noise which continually roars head like a cataract. At times sounds like the buzz and whirl of sawing their way through heavy berer. Again the sounds resemble ing steam, but at times they mince a horrible deafening roar. Owl noises in his head Sutte does hear readily. He says that the ringing in his was caused by an overdose of opium which was administered to him In He took fifty-two grains at one end and when he awoke next day he said a noise in his head which has revealed there ever since, keeping him every day and night for twenty years. Sutte is 70 years old. He rises his age gracefully, and does look worse for his long siege wakefulness.

FENINGER'S INSOMNIA. Cused by the Thrashing Administered by Jacob Wintter—Heavy Damages Asked. "Dr." Pfeninger has brought suit, though his attorney H. W. Chynoith, against Jacob Wintter, demands damages in the sum of $7500, for the punishment administered to him by Wintter in June. The papers in the file have been filed with the County Court, and the complaint reads as follows: Plaintiff complains and alleges: That the tenth day of June, 1897, plaintiff is in his vineyard in the county of Orange, State of California, engaged in搽ing his vines in said vineyard. That while plaintiff was so engaged stopping said vines, defendant entered said vineyard on said 10th day of June, 1897, and without any cause, or invocation therefor, with great force and violence did then and there assault plaintiff; that defendant then and there drew his arms around plaintiff's body held this plaintiff; defendant with clenched fist struck plaintiff several wounds on the right side of his face; that the time defendant struck his knee against plaintiff's back; that at the intent defendant's knee struck plaintiff's back, defendant forced plaintiff's body backward. That by reason of said blows plaintiff's face and nose were greatly bruised that by reason of said bruises so received, plaintiff was made sore, sick disordered in his body and so remained for a long space of time; that by reason of said bruises plaintiff was conceived to his house for two weeks. That by reason of the bruises so received, the nerves of plaintiff's face are injured; that since plaintiff received said blows he has had and now is violent neuralgic pains in his face; that said pains in plaintiff's face were caused by reason of said bruises. That by reason of forcing plaintiff's backward as aforesaid, and by reason of said blows on plaintiff's face, plaintiff's nervous system was shocked; that since plaintiff received said blows he has had excessive pains in his head; that said pains in his head were caused by reason of said pains and shock. That said bruises and said shock so received as aforesaid, injured plaintiff's face; that since plaintiff received said bruises and said shock he has been and is afflicted with insomnia; that said plaintiff was caused by reason of said bruises and said shock; that said insomnia will and does presumably affect Marshal Steadman and Billy Boyd followed the thief as far as the Ball ranch, three miles west of town, where it was impossible to distinguish in the dark whether the thief had gone towards Alamitos or Westminster. BILLY BOYD'S BICYCLE. Taken Apart and Tied in a Sack and Suspended to a Tree in the Willows Below Bolsa. Billy Boyd wears a broad smile over his good fortune in securing the return of his bicycle which was stolen some weeks ago. Its return was brought about in rather an unlooked-for manner. The bicycle was found tied in a wool sack and suspended to the branches of a tree in the willows some two miles south of the Bolsa store on Thursday last. The wheel was found by John Bias, a Mexican youth, who was one of a party of Mexican wood-choppers at work in the willows. The boy was shooting at birds in the trees with a sling shot, and when he came up on the bundle suspended in the tree he called the others, and it was cut down, when it was found to be the different parts of a bicycle. It was brought to town Friday morning and word was brought up town concerning it by Manuel Tapia. An investigation showed that it was Billy's wheel and it was turned over to him. None of the parts were missing, but the wheel had been taken apart by a "green" hand. It had probably been hidden in the trees by the thief who was possessed of sufficient nerve to steal it, but as the officers say hadn't "sand" enough to attempt to sell it; and probably after a time some means would have arisen whereby the thief could have disposed of it. The wheel was stolen three weeks ago Wednesday evening while Billy attended prayer meeting at the Christian church. About the time of the theft George Thompson saw two young fellows riding by on Center street near the church. He paid no particular attention to them, but shortly noticed, as the vehicle passed under the electric light near the church, that it contained but one rider, the other one having disappeared. In a moment the other fellow reappeared riding a bicycle from the direction of the church. The felon in the rig drove on a hundred yards and then slowed up, and when his companion came along on the wheel both moved off rapidly together. Marshal Steadman and Billy Boyd followed the thief as far as the Ball ranch, three miles west of town, where it was impossible to distinguish in the dark whether the thief had gone towards Alamitos or Westminster.

Saccharine Percentage High and the Tonnage Becoming Heavier Five hundred tons of beets have been shipped to the Chino sugar factory daily from the three shipping points in this section during the past week. Last week the shipments were 800 tons daily. The total output for the season up to last evening is upwards of 15,000 tons. No beets will be shipped today, the bins at the factory being crowded, and the Cnino beets coming in faster. The saccharine percentages continue high, while the tonnage is heavier.

Wherefore, plaintiff demands judgment for the sum of five thousand dollars actual damages; for two thousand dollars hundred dollars exemplary damages, and for costs of suit. RAILROAD FIGHT. Santa Fe System Having Trouble Over a Right-of-Way. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Aug. 10.-George Myers of the State District having declared that the Leavorth, Topeka and Southwestern way company has forfeited its tent-of-way, is having no little trouble in his efforts to restore the reality solved to the previous owners This of road, though in the hands of a silver, is now operated by the Santa system. In 1896 traffic on the line was abanaded for two months, and owing to fact, Judge Myers decided that J.State, a farmer, was entitled to session and title to the right-of-way which was taken from him in the ending of the line. Accordingly George Myers directed Sheriff Rothenger to place Stone in possession of land.The sherriff sent out a number of deputies and fenced in the road. At the same time the Santa Fe officials were notified that the right-of-was closed, and the postmaster at evenworth was notified to send his Partly Political and Partly Bibulous.

And the boom has reached the Klondyke, And it's spreading far and near, So we'll pledge the "grand old party" In San Diego beer, MADRID, August 9.—Senor Canvas del Castillo, Prime Minister of Spain, was assassinated yesterday at Santa Agueda, by an anarchist. The murderer fired three shots, two of which struck the Premier in the head and the other in the chest. The wounded man lingered unconscious for two hours and died at 3 o'clock. His wife was but a short distance away when he fell. The Premier went to the baths on Thursday to take a three weeks' treatment for his health, after which he expected to return to San Sebastian, to see United States Minister Woodford, when that gentleman should be officially received by the Queen Regent. The assassin was immediately arrested. He gives the name of Rinaldi, but it is believed that his real name is Michaele Angelo Golli. He is a Neapolitan. The murderer declared he killed Canvas in accomplishment of a "just vengeance," and as the outcome of a conspiracy. He is believed to have arrived at Santa Agueda the same day as the Premier, and was frequently seen lurking in the passages of the bathing establishment in a suspicious manner. The remains of Senor Canvas will be brought here to-day. Marshal Martinez de Campos has gone to San Sebastian to attend the Queen Regent. Latest particulars given say that at the moment of the assassination he was waiting in the gallery of the bathing establishment for his wife, who was to join him for luncheon. Suddenly the assassin, who had the appearance of an ordinary visitor, approached and fired at him point blank, one bullet passing through the body and coming out behind the left shoulder, and the other two lodging in his head. He fell instantly and only recovered consciousness long enough to speak a few words. Several medical men and his wife were unremitting in their attentions to the sufferer, but his wounds were mortal, and he died in two hours. Extreme unction was administered, amid a scene of mingled sorrow and indignation. The assassin narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the waiters and attendees who rushed forward. Detectives and civil guards immediately secured him. He was very pale, trembled very much, and evidently feared that he would be killed on the spot. He will be first arraigned before the local magistrate at Vergara. A dispatch from San Sabastian says it is difficult to describe the sensations of regret among all classes and in all parts at the untimely end of the universally respected statesman who played the chief part in the restoration of the Spanish monarchy and had been prominent in the politics of the country for twenty-four years. NEW YORK, August 9.—It is claimed that an elaborate system of physical punishment has grown up under Canovas' rule. Many instruments of the inquisition have been applied to political prisoners, especially anarchists, and it is thought that the sufferings of the Barcelona anarchists were sought to be avenged by Canovas' death. MADRID, August 9.—Canovas' murderer is imprisoned at Vergara. His real name is now said to be Michael Augillollo. He has been a typesetter. WASHINGTON, August 9.—The following cablegram was sent to Taylor at Madrid: "Your action approved. Renew in the name of the President the expression of our deep sorrow and sympathy for the loss borne by Spain in the death of Canovas, Prime Minister, one of the most eminent of the statesmen of his time. Condolence to the family Sherman." FALL OF SILVER. A Crisis Imminent in Mexico Over the Low Price of the White Metal. St. Louis, Aug. 7.—A special from Mexico City, Mexico, says: The continual fall in silver and the corresponding rise in exchange have reached the point when this country is brought face to face with what may be a serious crisis. No sophistry can hide the real condition of affairs here. It is all very well to say that Mexico can live within herself and can raise on a silver basis natural products that she can sell abroad on a gold basis. This would be perfectly satisfactory if there was such an enormous increase of wealth resulting from such conditions that the country could bear a high rate of taxation, in order that the Government might be able to meet its debt interest abroad by such means without any extra strain. At this moment Mexican bonds are unaltered in London, principally owing to the scrupulous exactness under the most distressing conditions with which the interest has been met. These debts are in gold, and their interest has to be met in gold, and at this rate of exchange that interest is excessive, and it is only a matter of time, unless there is a favorable change in silver, when this republic will be unable to stand it. Repudiation has an ugly sound, but something very much like it under present circumstances must result. The railway corporations and other foreign companies here have to meet a gold interest with a medium that is ever decreasing in value. It does not matter, however great the business and the capacity for making money, because the STERN BROS. Leading Merchants and Shippers.

These debts are in gold, and their interest has to be met in gold, and at this rate of exchange that interest is excessive, and it is only a matter of time, unless there is a favorable change in silver, when this republic will be unable to stand it. Repudiation has an ugly sound, but something very much like it under present circumstances must result. The railway corporations and other foreign companies here have to meet a gold interest with a medium that is ever decreasing in value. It does not matter, however great the business and the capacity for making money, because the money earned is inadequate to meet obligations abroad. There is only one thing for them to do, increase their earning through one hundred fold or consider their foreign debt was contracted in silver. It seems hard that the credit of this Government, that is now so high, and the excellent foreign investments here should be injured through circumstances over which they have no control. But facts are facts, and it will be interesting to watch what will happen unless there is a sharp rally in silver before long. Merchants here are paralyzed, and all orders for abroad have been counter-manded. The manager of the Scotch thread monopoly here has raised prices on thread 25 per cent, and the French importers of dry goods have followed suit. A prominent banker said that he believed exchange would go to 150 per cent premium. He considered the outlook to be most serious for this country; in fact he considered it too gloomy to speculate upon. A real Mr. Malaprop was discovered the other afternoon in the person of a Broadway cable car conductor. The car was on a down town trip and had few passengers until it reached Fontrenteh street. There half a dozen people, five women and one man, got aboard. Three of the women and the man found seats together, but the other two went to another part of the car, thereby leaving it doubtful as to whether they were members of the party or not. The man with the three, instead of giving the exact change, offered a half dollar in payment of the fares, and the conductor was as much in the dark as ever. To inquire was plainly the only way to arrive at the truth. With a polite wave of his hand toward the two women in the farther corner he asked blandly, "Are those ladies implicated?"—New York Tribune. A Strong Room. At Eltham, the late Colonel North's seat, there is said to be one of the strongest of strong rooms in the world. Not only were his gold and silver ware stored here, but special arrangements were made for the security of the jewels of lady visitors during the nights of their stay. The strong room is floored with cement many feet thick and walled all round with mighty blocks of granite. Weighing Living Fish. A visitor at the aquarium who had wondered how they managed to get the weight of a live fish learned that that was really a very simple thing to do. The fish is put into a pail of water, which is weighed with the fish in it. Then the fish is taken out and pail and water are weighed without it—New York Sun. E. W.
