Hotel Life in San Francisco


A story is told Of San Francisco
house: A man boarding there
thought il prudent to settle terms be-
forchand, to be sure that his money
would hold out. Two dollars q day.
He staid two months and sent for his
bill. Carramba! the two dollars a
day for board was only small part
of the items charged. Sixty dollars
for fire looned up conspicnously.
Boarder demurred. .3s
.sCan't help it, says the landlord ;
s'we can't afford to furnish fuel and
a man to attend to it for less than a
dollar aday.'
"All right, says boar(er; 'I'm will
ling to pay you q dollar q day for
fire, but don't want to pay for any
more than I've had. Now, out Of all
the time I've been here, it's impossi-
bic that could have had fire more
than half dozen days in the whole
sixty
"Wcll," says the landlord, ssthat',
not our fault the fuel was there and
man to attend to it; you might have
used il il you had been o mind to-
But the boarder demonstrated still

continued he, rising to the sublimity
of the occasion, "there's no place t6

Turkish cruelties.

LONDON, Aug. ia cOrrespon-
dent of the Daily Ners Letter, dated
Phillipopolis, August 9th, says: The
Turkish report of the recent outrages
in Bulgaria is such tissue of impu-
dent falsehoods that it calls for
the protest Of the British legation
and Schuyler, of the American lega-
ton at Constantinople. The Turkish
authorities are doing nothing to re-
strain the Mahomedan population.
Armed Turks continue to commit
acts of violence daily. The Christian
inhabitants are robbed if they go out
side their villages. Women are as
saulted and their persons violated
every day. The Turks drive away
cattle and sell them. The suffering Of
the Christian people is very great,
and immediate relief is needed. The
same correspondent writes on the
10th inst, that 1900 men, women and
children were killed by the Turks at
Otlukam; children were carried
about impaled on bayonets, and hui
man beings burned alive. At Bazaar
ia 1900 persons were killed. A bag
full of human hearts was empted in
front of the house of the Italian Con-
sui at Jambulis, and left there to be
eaten by dogs.

The other day, in the House, sui
ficient number of Democrats joined
with the Republicans to adopt the
Blaine proposition to amend the Con-
stitution so as to make sectarianism
in our public schools impossible.
Thereupon the Democratic press
gleefnlly announced that the school
question had been eliminated from
politics. But yesterday the Senate
spoiled that boast. The matter came
up in that body, and every Democrat
arrayed himself against the proposed
amendment, while every Republican
favored it. AS two-thirds majority
was required for its adoption, The
proposition was defeated. The Dem
ocracy now go into the campaign
with q record which warrants. ma.
compcls-the conclusion that the par
ty is in favor of leaving the doc
wide open for the sectarian abuse Q

Two HUNDRED Liberals of Scott
county have published a card pro-
testing against the call for a county
convention to choose delegates to the
democratic Congressional convention
for the district. Among these two
hundred are J. P. Stiblatt, editor Der
Den.okrat, and E. G. Clansscn. They
protest that they are not to be trans
ferred to the democratic camp. They
propose to exercise their choice IN
regard to whether they will support
the Democratic or Republican nom
inee. In regard to Congressman they
expect to choose as they have De
tween Hayes and Tilden. Most, il NO
all of those protesting, have chosel
already to support Hayes. The De
mocracy counted without their hos
when they supposed they could trans
fer the Liberal element into the'
camp.
