A New Express Company.

Henry Wells, the pioneer express
man, is sojurning at the Grand Hotel.
Since retiring from the active direc-
tiOn of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express,
Mr.. Wells has resided at his beautiful
home in Aurora, N. Y. After his de-
parture from California he organized
the American Express Company, with
capital stock of $lS,000,0O0. During
his visit TO San Diego last month he
projected the Arizona and New Mex
leo Express Company. Charles H.
Wells, son OF Henry, has been APP
pointed General Superintendent. The
new company is not In competition
with or opposition to Wells, Fargo g.
Co., but takes that portion of the
mining districts of the coast unoccu-
pied by any one. The headquarters
will be at San Diego. The company
has a capital stock of $500,000, divided
into 500 shares. SIS. +. Chronicle, 18th

Death Of Mrs. Conway.

Mrs. Sarah Conway, sister of Mrs.
ID. r. Bowers, the tragedienne, who is
now playing an engagement at the
California Theatre, died last night in
the city of Brooklyn after lingering
illness. 1t was peculiar coincidence
that while one sisters lamp of life
fickered and went out, the other Sis
ter, ON the mimic stage, was portray
ing the dying agOnies OF England's
most famous Queen. One sister repre-
sented what all must one day meet
Death. The other met in stern, cold
reality, what she herself had so
often simulated on the stage-Death.
Mining at Oro Fino, Siskiyou coun-
ty, is now in full blast and all the
claims in that section are now being
worked, giving employment to large
number of men. Owing to the small
amount Of snow on the montains this
Spring, the season will be shorter than
usual.

Excuse nay Glove.

Certain kinds Of mistaken polteness, sim
ccre as they are, are absurd enough to be
grotesque. A common mistake OF this sort
with some persons, even in large cities, is
to say, Excuse my glove" when they Of
fer their hand to a casual acquaintance, or
on intro luction to stranger 1t might be
inferred from this remark, that the wear
ing of gloyesis extremely rare in civilized
community, or that the wearer wishes to
advertise the extraordinary fact that he has
gloves. All he really desires. is to appear
polite; never suspecting for moment tn at
he is simply ridiculous.
II you oAer to shake hands with anyone
in place where it is customary to wear
gloves, You certainly need no excuse for
| compliance with the habit. You might
with equal reason, upon receiving a visitor
at your house, apologize to him for not re-
moving your coat before bidding him well
come.
The superfiuous phrase probably had its
origin III the days when gloves were clumsy
and used more for protection than as an es-
sential Of dress. Then the naked hand was
thought to be an evidence of good will and
cordiality. Since gloves have been univers-
ally adopted, the idea OF asking pardon for
| wearing them is an anachronism as well as
an improperly.
! Gloves are now made to fit exactly, 80
that, were it courtesy to take them off OIL
encolntcring ones friends or acquaintances
an amount Of time and trouble would be
/ required which would inevitably render a
soclal greeting at once n c0mical exhibition
and a bore Chicago Cammerci1I.

Mrs. Partington on Diagnosis.

conversation with DR. Bolus. "The doctor

Gus one way we hear of peoples dying of

is the cutlery, furnished additional room
This building supplies long felt need in
the community, where the Methodist pco-
pie have held services for many years in

nor convenience for worship The success
OF the enterprise is due chiefly to Rev. ID.

charge, under whose labors the charge at
this point was greatly prospered, and also
to this present pastor, Rev. l.. NJ. Albright,
who has completed the work so well begun
by his predecessor

great interest to the o7le of the commu-
nifty, who had right to enjoy the fruits Of
their tolls and sacrifices in the noble work

ing at $4,000, on which was some indebted
ness, and asked for 5000 to cover all pres
ent Indebtedness, and possible future needs

S6lS were given. The house, clear Of all
financial claims, was then formally dedi-
Gated to the worship of Almighty God, ac-
