SAN FRANCISCO NOTES.
PRosPECTs-THE GENERAL IgPREssIoN-AU-
TOPSY on RAIsTON


ToPsY ON RALsToN.
SAN Francisco, August s.-The city is as
quiet as usual. The trustees OF the Bank of
California adjourned this evening after
protracted session, to meet on Monday and
attend the funeral of Ralston in body.
They will resume their sessions Tuesday.
Nothing whatever is known concerning
their deliberations. Inquiry deveIopes the
fact that various manufacturing enterprises
in the city, in which Ralston was in
terested, show no signs of weak
ness. Coin has been transferred during the
day from the United States Treasury and
though no loans can be obtained, money is
easier. Real estate dealers say that the eff
feet on their branch of business will be
rather beneficial than otherwise. Prices
have been maintained. The general impress
sion since the partially completed inquest ON
Ralston is against the suicide theory. An
autopsy was made on the body of Ralston,
but the coroner as vet declines to make the
result public. 1t will be given to the jury
Tuesday.

A PRETTY PICTURE.
GLIMPSE AT AUsTRIA's EMPRESS AS SHE
PASSED THROUGH PARIS

GLIMPSE AT AUSTRIA'S EMPRESS AS SHE
PASSED THROUGH PARIS
The Paris correspondent of the Philsdel-
pbia Telegraph writes: "All were not per-
United to catch glimpse of the fair empress
of Austria, though she did pass through
Paris a few days ago. About a housan
people went to the railway station to see her
come In, but the lovely Elizabeth at the last
moment quickly changed her destination
and came into Paris by another route, thus
disappointing the eager crowd of sight seers.
She is we'll worth looking at, IL this fairest
of royal ladies, though she is thirty
eight years OF age and possible
grandmother besides. I saw her at Vienna
ten years ago; she then looked about
twenty, slender as a reed, and graceful as a
deer, with the loveliest dark eyes in the
world, and such pr0fusi0n OF dark silky
hair that it fell, coil upon coil, from under
her coquettish hat only restrained by the
mesheS of fine silk hair net. Her style
and elegance were indispensable, lar ex-
ceeding, to my mind, the more artificial
graces of the Empress Eugenie. She
dresses very simply now. 1t is said, usually
in black, gray, or lilac, never having worn
gay colors since the death of her eldest
daughter, several years ago. Her manners
are marvelously sweet and winning, and
she is as popular as she is beautiful. Truth

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 27.-The great
excitement in the city over the death of
Ralston overshadows every other topic.
From the best information, it appears that
he went to the sea bathing establishment at
north beach about 1924 p. M, undressed.
went into the water, swan about 200 yards
and disappeared behind vessel. Soon after
his body was discovered floating by the
Selby lead works, and he was brought ashore
still alive. Physicians were summoned, but
the efforts to resuscitate him failed. BE
died at ten minutes to i've o'clock. Colonel
Fry, his father-in-law, Mayor Otis, and
number of prominent citizens, arrived be-
fore he expired. Colonel Fry and Captain
Lee went to the bathing house and obtained
Mr.. Ralston's clothes. In these were found
a few dollars and his statement
to the bank, but nothing having tendency
to show that he committed suicide. The
body was conveyed TO No. 1872 Jackson
street, the residence OF Col. Fry. A boy
named Festus Mszzele states that he saw
Mr.. Ralston before he reached the bath
house, sit down on the clay bank near the
smelling works, tear up several papers and
throw the scraps into the water. Search
was made for the pieces, but mono could
be found. Heis also reported to have been
seen to drink the contents of q phial before
going into the water. The general impress
sion is that be took poison before enteringthe
water. The board of directors OF the Bank
of California held meeting to day.
Ralston was requested TO resign as
president and director. which he did.
As regards the financial prospect
in the best in formed circles it is believed that
all the banks will go on without further
trouble, and that the National Gold Bank
and Trust Company and the Merchants
Exchange Bank will resume Monday. The
town is full OF rumors. The streets at this
hour, p NJ are crowded with people. 1t
is understood that, owing to the excited
feeling manifested, arrangements have been
made to call out the military 10 preserve

Dairy Houses.

l.uper dairy houses beng indispensable
for the best conditions OF the milk, the
Western Rural gives the following de-
Scrlption OF dairy house, as published in
the New \ lork Times
The dairy house is built about four feet
below ground it is airy, high, light, dry,
cool, and detached rom any other build
ing. 1t is smoothly plastered inside, and
well ventilated No impure air of any
Kind reaches it from without and every
thing within is the perfection of cleanliness
and ueatne.s 1t is furnished with open
racks OF lath all around it, bench beneath
a nothern window, and a table in the
centre. The pans, which are shallow ones
OF tin, holding about ten quarts each, are
filled 70 three inches in depth, and are
placed on the shelves OF the racks The
shelves are made of laths, SO that the cool, ,
fresh air of the milk room reaches all parts
of the pan, and speedily reduces the milk
to the desired temperature. This is kept
Ut about So degrees all the year round by
meaus Of current of cold air which is
brought into the room through pipes from
the adjoining Ice house in summer, and by
a stove in winter
The cream is SKINNED after the milk
has stood thirty-siX hours, into oaken
casks Of forty gallons each The churning
room adjoins the milk room. The churns
are casks similar in every respect to those
in which the cream is stored The churn-
ing is done by a small horse power run by
a small pony, which by means of rock
ing shalt operates a common upright dash
The churning is made to occupy at least
halt an hour 1t is held that first class
butter cannot be made in five minutes, by
any of the rapidly working churns The
butter is worked by lever fixed TO an in

Hen Farming.

People who seem to know affirm that a
tidal wave Of the hen fever is approaching
rs, and some of these, like the ancient
mariner Noah, are getting their arks or
coops ready. Supposing that an appetizer

sent the following facts, drawn from
-neighbor, who is also an accurate machin-
ist and a reliable gentleman. He began
the year 1874 with 20 Brahmas. The av-
erage number of laying hens for the year

Limitations in Poultry Keeping.

For Il hundred dollars spent in the pur

Il hundred dollars may be gained each

But We would caution our readers so

Some Statisticts of Railroad Travel.
From the Chicago owl.

FROM ttlt t.Iilctt4p OWL
When the first passenger railway was in
process OF construction in England, forty
six years ago, Ominous forebodings Were
freely expressed by scientific men The
birds would be killed; the fields and
towns would be set on fire; and it was
shown that passengers could not breathe
when travelling at such rapid rates The
Quarterly Review said that "railway tray
cling was about rs safe rs being fired out
of a rocket" Sir A. Carlisle said ''the
clash of reyerberating sounds would COM
bne to produce an idea of destruction and
Il thrill OF annihlation.n Others declared
that the Jar and rafting would cause dis
eases of the nerves and the brain.
The statistics OF European railways have
brought out some very curious facts. They
show that the risk OF a person losing his
lite in !, rail cur is less than being struck
by lightning, or being hanged and that Il
passenger shooting along at the rate OF
seventy-two miles an hour-a speed which
their express trains make-is more secure
from bodily injury than q pedestrian in a
crowded city, or gentleman driving his
carriage on Il country road. French sta
tistics show that stage-coach riding is
fifty times as dangerous rs travelling by
rail No other mode OF travelling is so
safe as that by rail; i'll fact, it is a little
safer than staying at home and going
about ones regular business. In Prussia
it requires the transportation OF twenty
five million persons before one is killed.
and four million before one is injured.
On stage-coaches in France, one passenger
in 300 4G} is killed, and one in 29,S1 is
injured.
Nh Charles Francis Adams, jun, Rail
road Commissioner OF Massachusetts, has
brought out some statistics of railroad tray-
cling in that State which are quite as ia
yorable. He says person may travel
eight hundred miles day for seventy
years before he would, on the doctrine OF
chances, receive an injury by a railroad
accident. twenty-five million persons
may travel each fifteen miles before one
of them is killed. And yet people, when
they are about to make journey by rail
road, take out an accident policy They
had better take out a policy when they in
| tend to stay at home. There is more dan
ger of being murdered in ones bed in
Massachusetts, than travelling on a rail
road, day and night, the whole time. In
1873, the railroads transported forty-two
million passengers, and did not kill one.
In Boston. the same year, five persons
were killed by falling down stairs, and
seven from falling out OF windows. Few
persons in the respectable walks Of life
trouble themselves about the likelihood of
their being hanged; yet an Englishmans S
risk of dying by the halter is six times rs
great as his being killed on railroad
and if the element of his own carelessness
be excluded, it is one hundred and thirty
| times as great
