IMPERSONATED BRYAN. Party of Students Take Him to be the Real Thing and Applaud His Self-Laudatory Remarks. NEW YORK, March 9.—A Buffalo special to the Herald says that posing as W. J. Bryan, Fred Fulcher, a waiter in the Ellicott Club, addressed fifty students of the University of Buffalo. Not half a dozen students knew that they did really not listen to Mr. Bryan. A committee was appointed to escort Mr. Bryan from the Ellicott Club if he would consent to address the students. Mr. Bryan had just left the club when the committee arrived. A waiter who was polishing a doorknob, and whose likeness to Mr. Bryan was striking, was prevailed upon to take the place of Mr. Bryan. With the aid of a slouch hat and an improvised makeup, he appeared before the students. "Three cheers for W. J. Bryan," shouted a young enthusiast, and then there was vigorous applause. The waiter said: "I presume you would like to have me speak regarding Rear-Admiral Sampson's recent letter; of the speech made by Senator Morgan; of the Cuban policy of my successful rival; of the Porto Rican matter, but I can't. I came here solely for business. "My visit possesses no political significance and my conference today with Mr. Mack was with regard to the conduct of my newspaper. However, I will say this to you: The ship of the Democracy is as staunch today as ever and there will be a reckoning. "Some day the present administration will be forced to pay for the follies being perpetrated by a subsidized House and Senate and by an Executive who possibly is not as firm in many matters as one could wish. "There will be a President of the United States elected in the year 1904. It is too early to make predictions, but mark you well, that when that time comes the name of Bryan may be heard again. That is all that I can say at this time." The students gave a cheer as he retired. MANY COMING TO CALIFORNIA. Fifty-three Carloads of Immigrants mediately. Much of the packed crop is already unfit for shipping East and has been thrown out. Indeed, many of the packers have had their men at work unpacking oranges that were ready for shipment, simply because they might keep a little longer unboxed. The reason for the scarcity of cars for fruit shipping is explained as follows: The Southern Pacific company has entered into a contract to haul over the Sunset route the entire sugar crop of Hawaii. About 100,000 tons of raw sugar will be brought to San Francisco, whence it will be taken over the long haul by rail to Galveston and Morgan City, thence sent by the Morgan line of steamers to the Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York refineries. To carry out this tremendous contract will strain the facilities of the Southern Pacific transportation department. A great many cars will be required. The shipments are now in progress and long sugar laden trains are daily passing through Los Angeles. The Professor's Escaped Bacteria. He was apparently an old man, wore large spectacles and carried a small satchel. Across the satchel was labeled, "Professor Reed, Chicago." He entered the waiting room of a suburban station and deposited the satchel carelessly near the ice cooler. Suddenly those near saw the satchel fall and heard the sharp tinkle of breaking glass. The old man picked up the glass and muttered exclamations of distress. "To think I brought them all the way from Brazil," he said. "What were they?" inquired some one in the sympathetic crowd. "Germs!" "What?" Bacteria of a strange Brazilian fever." Quick, man! Crush them with your foot! "I can't, sir. They are now floating around in the air." There was a moment of horror. Then there was a rush, and a little later the old man was the only occupant of the waiting room. A window was raised from the outside. "Just let them out easy, Pete," cautioned a voice. And the bogus professor obeyed. Satchels, grips and cases went through the window. After he had finished collecting the professor followed the booty. His false beard fell back in the room, but he did not attempt to reclaim it. The arrival of their train prompted Quicksilver. The ore from which quicksilver has trained is a brilliant red rock known as cinnabar. When of high purity, actually vermillion in color. Cinnabar is the original source of the plight known commercially as vermillon is a compound of sulphur and silver, and in order to separate them from the sulphur the rock is reduced. Passing off in the form of mercury is afterward condensed and flows out in a fine stream, leaving continuous pencil of molten silver. The discovery of the famous California mines came about in an odd way by observation of the vermillon paint with which certain Indians part of the country frescoed bodies. It was ascertained where got the pigment, and thus we were able to rich deposits which subsequently became of such commercial importance. Like gold and silver, mercury occasionally found in a native state. Sometimes the miner's penetrates a cavity that contains sufficient or more of the elusive and beautiful fluid. Miners suffer much from poor use effects of the quicksilver fumes; treine cleanliness is the best safety for workers in this dangerous environment. Use is also made of a sort of orange which serves to a certain extent as an antidote, a strong acid taking place of lemon juice in the composition of the drink.-Saturday Evening. The Lady and the Cobra. An English woman residing in one evening found her horrors huge cobra had coiled itself above veranda rails, near which she sailed the violin. She was too naive to run with safety, so she used playing while she gradually away. At first her only idea was keep the creature thus engaged she escaped, but when she had a safer distance and perhaps faced by the unwonted sight a stranger seized her. She played after air of different characters. The effect was magical. That behaved like an ardent, hot disciple of Paganiini. Every vane in the music, whether of volume tone, produced instantly a corral change in the attitude of the If she played a lively dance, it its body sideways in quick turn yet in graceful curves. Once she numbered false notes in rapid succession on purpose.

"There will be a President of the United States elected in the year 1904. It is too early to make predictions, but mark you well, that when that time comes the name of Bryan may be heard again. That is all that I can say at this time." The students gave a cheer as he retired. MANY COMING TO CALIFORNIA. Fifty-three Carloads of Immigrants Left the East on Thursday Night for This State. SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.—An organization was formed today in this city to facilitate the settlement in California of the 100,000 colonists that are coming from the East. H. D. Loveland was chosen president. The organization is to be known as the California Colony association. It will be virtually an information bureau. A San Jose man was reported as offering to build 100 small cottages near San Jose for colonists pending their final selection of a home in another part of the state. Robert M. Mills of Oakland, recently from Florida, where he had been ruined by the destruction by frost of three different orange groves, sent assurance to the association that he, personally, would probably induce between 1200 and 1500 colonists to come from Florida to California. H. P. Sonntag announced that information had been given him that fifty-three carloads of immigrants had started from the east for California Thursday night, forty-two carloads by the Southern Pacific and eleven carloads by the Santa Fe. Sonntag explained that the new association was not a local concern, but one for the general good of the state. At the Head. The United States now stands at the head of the world's exporting nations. The total exports of domestic merchandise from the United States in the calendar year 1900 were $1,453,013,659; those from the United Kingdom, which has heretofore led in the race for this distinction, were $1,418,348,000; and those from Germany, $1,050,-611,000. Additional interest is given the first rank, which the United States holds as an exporting nation, by the fact that a quarter of a century ago we stood fourth in that list. In 1875 the domestic exports of the United States were $497,-263,737; those of Germany, $607,096,000; those of France, $747,489,000; and those of the United Kingdom, $1,087,497,000. Today the United States stands at the head of the list, the United Kingdom second, Germany third, and France fourth, with the figures as follows: United States, $1,453,013,659; United Kingdom, $1,418,348,000; Germany, $1,-050,611,000; France, $787,060,000. All of these figures, it should be remembered, relate to the exports of domestic products. Quick man. Crusade foot! "I can't, sir. They are now floating around in the air." There was a moment of horror. Then there was a rush, and a little later the old man was the only occupant of the waiting room. A window was raised from the outside. "Just let them out easy, Pete," cautioned a voice. And the bogus professor obeyed. Satchels, grips and cases went through the window. After he had finished collecting the professor followed the booty. His false beard fell back in the room, but he did not attempt to reclaim it. The arrival of their train prompted those outside to venture in for their baggage. It had vanished, and the black beard told the tale. —Chicago News. A Successful Stratagem. When the electric telegraph was first introduced into Chile, a stratagem was resorted to in order to guard the posts and wires against damage on the part of the natives and to maintain the connection between the strongholds on the frontier. There were at the time between 40 and 50 captive Indians in the Chilean camp. General Pinto, in comand of the operations, called them together and, pointing to the telegraph wires, said: "Do you see those wires?" "Yes, general." "I want you to remember not to go near or touch them, for if you do your hands will be held, and you will be unable to get away." The Indians smiled incredulously. Then the general made them each in succession take hold of the wire at both ends of an electric battery in full operation, after which he exclaimed: "I command you to let go the wire!" "I can't! My hands are benumbed!" erled each Indian. The battery was then stopped. Not long after the general restored them to liberty, giving them strict instructions to keep the secret. This had the desired effect, for as might be expected, the experience was related in the strictest confidence to every man in the tribe, and the telegraph remained unmolested. Lincoln's Offhand Way. In 1861, when Mr. Lincoln was on his way to Washington to be inaugurated as president, his train stopped at Rochester, Pa., a station on the Pittsburg Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad. Mr. Lincoln alighted from the car to stretch his long limbs by walking on the station platform. His identity became known to the townspeople assembled there, and a friendly conversation with him ensued. In reply to a reference to the threatening political outlook he said: "Oh no one has been hurt yet." Seeing a tall man in the crowd. Mr. Lincoln remarked that he and the man were of about the same height and proposed that they measure. They took off their hats and stood together, back to back, while some one placed a hand above their heads and found Mr. Lincoln to be slightly taller. An Apt Amendment. Years ago a bill entitled "An act for the preservation of heath hen and other game" was introduced into the New York house of assembly. The speaker of the house, who was a safer distance and perhaps framed by the unwonted sight a spiral seized her. She played after air of different characters. The effect was magical. That behaved like an ardent, but a disciple of Pagannini. Every vane in the music, whether of volume tone, produced instantly a corrosion change in the attitude of thieves If she played a lively dance, it its body sideways in quick tilt yet in graceful curves. Once she a number of false notes in rapture on purpose. The cobra and writhled in pain as if she struck with a whip. Thus the creature behaved mad musician till the lady tired of the sport, gradually herself farther and farther made a sudden bolt into her rebounded door, leaving her wander disconsolate to its lair fields.

THAT CAR FAMINE. Raw Sugar from Hawaii Taxing the Carrying Capacity of the S. P. to the Utmost. Complaints continue to come in from all over Southern California about the shortage of fruit cars and the inability of the railroad companies to handle the big orange crop. Many of the large growers have already lost heavily, and if something is not done soon tons of marketable oranges and lemons will go to waste. The situation is declared to be unprecedented. Thousands of dollars have been lost to the fruit growers of Southern California, with more to follow, even under the most favorable circumstances. Unless a special effort is made by the railroads great hardship is certain to result to the orchardists. Redlands shippers are greatly alarmed by the lack of cars to take away the packed navels stacked up in the packing houses, ready to leave for the East as soon as the cars to take them away arrive. Several packing houses have been forced to close their doors, not because of any scarcity of fruit, but simply because they cannot get cars. Corona and Riverside packing houses tell the same tale. Covina orange handlers cannot get cars. Placentia men fear a large part of the crop will be lost unless something be done im- An Apt Amendment. Years ago a bill entitled "An act for the preservation of the heath hen and other game" was introduced into the New York house of assembly. The speaker of the house, who was not especially interested in matters of this kind, gravely read it. "An act for the preservation of the heathen and other game." He was blissfully unconscious of his blunder until an honest member from the northern part of the state who had suffered from the depredations of the frontier Indians rose to his feet. "I should like to move an amendment to the bill," he said mildly, "by adding the words, 'except Indians.'"—Youth's Companion. The Account. "I have called," said the reporter, "to see if you wish to add anything to our account of your wife's reception this evening. We have most of the details and a long list of names, including those who will assist her in receiving." "No," replied the business man. "There's only one account that I'm expected to take any interest in, and there'll be no one to assist me with that."—Exchange. No Puzzle to the M. D. Wilton—Do you know, I'm in a quandary. Tilton—Well, what is it? Wilton—Dr. Bloss gave me some stuff for my appetite; and it was so effectual that it costs me nearly twice as much to live as before. What puzzles me is whether I ought to pay the doctor or he ought to pay me something. If troubled with rheumatism, give Chamberlain's Pain Balm a trial. It will not cost you a cent if it does no good. One application will relieve the pain. It also cures sprains and bruises in one-third the time required by any other treatment. Cuts, burns, frost-bites, quincey, pains in the side and chest, glandular and other swellings are quickly cured by applying it. Every bottle warranted. Price, 25 and 50 cts. P. A. Derge, druggist. Quicksilver. The ore from which quicksilver is obtained is a brilliant red rock known as bar. When of high purity, it is usually vermillion in color. Cinnabar is the original source of the pigment in commercially as vermillon. It is compound of sulphur and quicksilver, and in order to separate the latrine from the sulphur the rock is roasted. Passing off in the form of a gas, mercury is afterward condensed flows out in a fine stream, like a noxious pencil of molten silver. The discovery of the famous Californines came about in an odd sort of by observation of the vermillon with which certain Indians in part of the country frescoed their houses. It was ascertained where they put the pigment, and thus were revealed which deposits which subsequently came of such commercial importance. Like gold and silver, mercury isassionally found in a native or pure state. Sometimes the miner's pick extracts a cavity that contains a cup or more of the elusive and beautiful minerals suffer much from the poison effects of the quicksilver fumes. Excess cleanliness is the best safeguard workers in this dangerous occupation. Use is also made of a sort of lemble which serves to a certain extent antidote, a strong acid taking the place of lemon juice in the composition of the drink.—Saturday Evening Post. The Lady and the Cobra. An English woman residing in India evenning found to her horror that a cobra had coiled itself about her granda rails, near which she sat playing the violin. She was too near the stake to run with safety, so she continued playing while she gradually edged away. At first her only idea was to trap the creature thus engaged while escaped, but when she had gained safer distance and perhaps fascinated by the unwonted sight a strange imitation seized her. She played air over air of different characters. The effect was magical. That snake shaved like an ardent, hot blooded incipile of Paganini. Every variation on the music, whether of volume or of tone, produced instantly a correspondence change in the attitude of the cobra. She played a lively dance, it swayed her body sideways in quick time and it in graceful curves. Once she struck number of false notes in rapid succession on purpose. The cobra winced and writhed in pain as if suddenly trucking with a whip. "Brevity is the Soul of Wit." Wit is wisdom. Blood is life. Impure blood is living death. Health depends on good blood. Disease is due to bad blood. The blood can be purified. Legions say Hood's Sarsaparilla, America's Greatest Blood Medicine, purifies it. A brief story but it tells the tale. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints WHAT'S IN A NAME? (Benson's Plaster is Pain's Master.) In the days of 'wild cat' money in the West, the Ames shovels were used as currency. They were as stable as gold; their price did not vary a cent in twenty years. The very name of Oliver Ames & Son, was a synonym for honesty. It was current all over the world. On the same principle Benson's Porous Plaster is the universal standard external remedy. To say it is a "good" plaster does not describe it; it is the best possible plaster. For every disease in which an external remedy is available, Benson's Plaster is used almost as a matter of course. Benson's Plaster quickly relieves and cures where other modes of treatment are either exasperatingly slow or have no good effect whatever. Coughs, colds, lumbago, kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back, etc., are at once benefited and soon cured. Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna plasters have none of the curative virtues of Benson's. More than 5,000 physicians and druggists have commended Benson's Plaster as a remedy in which the public may have implicit confidence; while, in a comparative test with other plasters, Benson's has received fifty-five highest awards.

The San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad has apparently proved a larger project than would seem to have appeared during the first few weeks after the announcement of Senator Clark's intention.

What Some of the Newspapers Have to Say About it. Whittier News, March 9. The San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad has apparently proved a larger project than would seem to have appeared during the first few weeks after the announcement of Senator Clark's intention. In the opinion of railroad men there is not the slightest doubt that the road will be built but at the same time they are unable to throw any light upon the subject of routes. Whether or not the line between Los Angeles and Riverside has been decided upon is no more a matter of general knowledge than it was four months ago. There has been a disposition on the part of the people in this valley to concede that the road was going through on the other side of the foothills but as far as can be learned there is no real ground for this attitude. With two competing lines already dividing the business in the other valley, it would seem to be good judgment to build the new road through Whittier, and until there is more information available than at present this paper will continue to believe that we still stand a good chance of securing the enterprise. From the Ontario Observer, March 9. A new surveying crew [of the Salt Lake railway] of six to eight men dropped into Ontario Thursday morning and ran out over the same line as the first survey made here, along Main street, turning south toward Riverside. They were not setting grade stakes, but were apparently verifying the former survey. This is certainly true: the general public does not yet know of a single foot of right of way that has yet been secured between Los Angeles and San Bernardino or Riverside, and J. Ross Clark declares that none has yet been secured, and he himself does not know what route will be followed; from all of which it would appear that there may be several guesses yet coming, all around. A Good Cough Medicine for Children. "I have no hesitancy in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says F. P. Morgan, a well-known and popular baker, of Petersburg, Va. "We have given it to our children when troubled with bad coughs, also whooping cough, and it has always given perfect satisfaction. It was recommended to me by a druggist as the best cough medicine for children, as it contained no opium or other harmful drug." Sold by P. A. Derge. Celery Growers. A mass meeting of celery growers was held in the Ocean View schoolhouse some evenings ago to consider the advisability of joining with the Deciduous Fruit exchange in the marketing of celery. A. R. Sprague, president of the fruit exchange, addressed the meeting, setting forth the efficacy of the movement. The celery growers present unanimously of the opinion that an association should be formed, as a part of the fruit exchange, and a committee was appointed to make a course among the growers for memorial services. Discarded Petticoats. GRANADA, Colo., March 10.—Tired of the hum-drum of home life, Miss Really Wortman, 18 years old, of Dodge City, Kas., thought it would be more pleasant to be a man and earn a living and see the world. She ran away from home, made her way to Colorado and two weeks ago appeared in this town in man's dress, looking for work. She was hired as a sheepherder by Mr. Christopher. The hard outdoor life in winter was not wholly to her taste, and after a week of it she came to Granada and went to work in a restaurant, promising to return to the sheep ranch in the spring. To Mr. Christopher she said her name was Frank Merriwell. In Granada she introduced herself as Frank Gray. Last Saturday the sheriff of Ford county arrived with Edward Wortman, who was looking for his missing sister. They met and he recognized her in the restaurant and took her home today. She associated with men all the time she was in Granada and while she was on the ranch, but she had cut her hair short, and although her good looks made her an object of notice, no one suspected her sex. She thoroughly enjoyed her adventure and said she was sorry to be put in petticoats again. Remarkable Cures for Rheumatism. From the Vindicator, Rutherfordton...N. C. The editor of the Vindicator has had occasion to test the efficacy of Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice with the most remarkable results in each case. First, with rheumatism in the shoulder, from which he suffered exacerbating pain for ten days, which was relieved with two applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the parts afflicted and realizing instant benefit and entire relief in a very short time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh joint, almost prostrating him with severe pain, which was relieved by two applications, rubbing with the liniment on retiring at night, and getting up free from pain.

Disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, affects the mind as well as the body. The dull mind stupified by poisonous gasses, enters on its service without desire, and accomplishes it without delight. A healthy body and a clear mind result from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It removes the clogging and poisonous impurities from the stomach, stimulates the flow of the juices necessary to digestion and increases the blood supply in quality and quantity. The "Discovery" is strictly a temperance medicine and contains no alcohol or whisky, neither opium, cocaine, nor other narcotic. "I had suffered from indigestion and only those who have suffered from it know what it really is," writes Mrs. M. J. Pagan, of 1631 East Genesee Street, Syracuse, N.Y. "I had had severe attacks of headache and dizziness with cold hands and feet; everything I ate distressed me, bowels were constipated and I was growing very thin and nervous. I cannot half express the bad feelings I had when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." I commenced feeling better with the first bottle and kept on improving.

This is Bismuth 300 pounds to the ton, and Bismuth is worth about $2.50 per pound, or $750 per ton ore. (Bonanza here, but ore will have to go to special smelters and refiners) There are in Treasury funds of this Company yet, 304,000 shares of the Capital Stock, and for sale, 55 per cent of which is held at par value, $250,000, and a special rate is made on 100,000 shares if taken soon, and there are very few promotion shares available to prompt or immediate investors. (We are told by experts that our combine has a prospective valuation of $2,500,000.) Exploration workings and deep sinking is the work before us to do, and it takes money to do that, and for this money, pooling of it, from investors, is in order. Persons interested in getting into and investing in a "cracker jack," good investment, should immediately write for rather private information available to them, and state how much cash they have got in hand to come in with. Do not delay as working money is wanted now. GILES OTIS PEARCE, P. O. Box 61. Rooms 2 and 3. Upstairs, 114 Fourth St., Santa Ana, California. GILES OTIS PEARCE, P. O. Box 61. : Rooms 2 and 3.

Joseph Dalky takes the opportunity afforded by his will of insulting his son-in-law in terms which doubtless had a pungency once, but which are hardly comprehensible to the modern reader: "I give to my daughter, Ann Spencer, a guinea for a ring or any other bauble she may like better; I give to the lout, her husband, one penny to buy him a lark whistle, and this legacy I give him as a mark of my appreciation of his prowess and nice honor in drawing his sword on me (at my own table), naked and unarmed as I was, and he well fortified with custard." A grewsome legacy is that of Philip Thicknesse: "I leave my right hand, to be cut off after my death, to my son, and I desire it may be sent to him in hopes that such a sight may remind him of his duty to God after having so long abandoned the duty he owed to a father who once affectionately loved him." Another father seems apparently to have begun his will with the determination of punishing an unruly son, but, as the fairy stories say, all ends happily. We refer to the will of Richard Crawshay, the founder of the famous Welsh ironworks. It runs thus: "To my only son, who never would follow my advice and has treated me rudely in very many instances, instead of making him my executor and residuary legatee (as till this day he was) I give him £100,000."—Chambers' Journal.

"The they tell a good many jokes about Kentucky colonels and their natural aversion to water," said a fat drummer in the hotel corridor the other night, "but the richest thing in that line I ever knew to come off in real life happened over in Alabama when old man Briggs was trying to sell his summer hotel. Briggs had a pretty piece of property in the Alabama highlands, and its star feature was a magnificent big spring that welled into a sort of basin and was as cold as ice all the year round. He had good prospects of making a popular resort out of the place, but he got the California fever and offered it at a sacrifice to a race horse man from Kentucky who had an idea that he was tut out for a landlord. "The race horse man was a typical Kentucky colonel of the old school and a mighty fine fellow. He came down to look over the ground in person, and Briggs started out with him to point out the principal attractions. At last they came to the famous spring. 'This, colonel,' said Briggs, stopping at the edge of the basin and swelling with pride, 'is a wonderful natural reservoir of crystal pure water, inexhaustible in volume and ice cold in temperature. It is undoubtedly the finest spring in the south.'" A Horrible Outbreak.

Her Sacrifice. The Rev. Cyrus T. Brady says in his book of missionary reminiscences: “I was once preaching about missions, urging the congregation to make sacrifices for the missionary cause and indicating to them several methods by which they could follow my advice. Among other things I suggested that they refrain from purchasing any book which they very much desired and donate the money to me instead for my missionary work. I happened to have perpetrated a book myself. “You will therefore understand my feelings when a very bright woman in the congregation came up to me and handed me $1 with the remark, I had intended to buy your book and read it. Mr. Brady, but I have concluded to follow your advice and give you the money for missions instead.” “I accepted the situation gracefully and told her I would lend her my own copy of the book to read. She smiled and thanked me, and as she did so I voiced my thought in this way. ‘But after all Mrs. R., there does not seem to be any sacrifice on your part in this transaction, for you have the happy consciousness of having given the money for missions and vet have the book as well.’ “No sacrifice?’ she replied. ‘Why I have to read the book!’” Southern Pacific Company.
