there were a dozen men in Michi-
gan Avenue tobacco store yesterday,
smoking time away or playing check
ers, when dreary-looking, middle
aged stranger entered and crowded in
behind the stove When he had thaw-
ed out little and wiped a tear from
his nose he looked around and asked:
"Did any Of you read about that ter
rible cyclone in the EastP"
One or two replied that they had
seen an account Of il.

who can spare dollar 70 send It to the
poor victims. | viii now pass around

He passed il, and when he had COM
pleted the circuit il was as empty as
when he started.
Gentleman, I am surprised and sad
dcned," he remarked, as he put on his
hat; sthose people need money, and
though am poor man, I'm going TO
forward my share. Is there any one
here who will take five dollar bill and

"I suppose l could send it." replied
the tobacconist, showing cigar at the
stranger.
"Ill take III" called out seven Of
eight others.

A full pouch was handed out, and he
lifted half the contents in his vest peck

George Edward Murry and Miss

George Edward Murry and Miss
Henshaw, boarders in the Berkeley
House, Oakland, CAL, became engaged
to be married. Then they quarreled,
and he released her. She accepted
another lover, out of pique, and a we'd
ding day was hastily chosen. On the
appointed morning, as she was dress
ing for the ceremony, Murry was car
ried dying into the hotel, having been
injured by railroad accident. The
San Francisco Chronicle finishes the mar
rative as follows: ssShe rushed to the
bedside of the dying man and, with
eyes streaming with tears and voice
tremulous with emotion, brushed aside
physicians and attendants, and clasping
her arms about the neck Of her former
sweetheart, pressed his pale lips to her
own and kissed him repeatedly, all the
while calling him by name in terms
the most tender and pathetic. A faint
smile of recognition beamed over the
pale face of the wounded man, and the
lovers parted forever, she to finish her
dressing for the altar, and he to suffer
for a few hours before passing over the
river of death.''

PORPOlSES INDICATED.


A protested scientist writes a critical
letter questioning the facts related in
our article a few days ago on pompa-
nos and porpoises, and tries to demol-
ish at a blow the authenticity of our
narrative by styling it a fish story, as if
our reputation could be scaled down in
that summary way. The substantial
facts in our story we again repeat, and
hereby tender our correspondent a
pompano dinner at Boudro's if we do
not bring to the book competent wit
nesses to prove the same and expose
the limited extent of his knowledge
and observations in the piscatorial line.
We resafirm that porpoises do volun-
teer their services to aid the fisherman
to drive near the shore the schools of
pompano on the coast of Florida; that
they serve the same uses as hounds in
driving deer, that they watch and cut
off the retreat of their joint prey and
they catch and toss into the air and IL
nally land in their mouths, the escap-
ing pompano who leap over the corks
of the seine. We will further add that
this habit Is so we'll known to the fish
erman that they have established an
intimacy with the leading chiefs of bat
