THE SAN FRANCISCO SHOOTING.
Rev. I. 5. KalIoch, Worltingmen's Cantli-
date for Mayor, Shot Down by Charles DE
Young of the Daily Chronicle.


Young of the Daily Chronicle.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 23.-
This city was thrown into intense excitement
this morning by the shooting OF the Rev. I.
5. kallOch. the Workinglnep's candidate
for Mayor, by Charles De Young, one of the
pfoprietors of the Chronicle newspaper. The
difficulty which led to the shooting ofieinit
ed in the repeated and bitter assaults of the
Chronicle on the character of Kalloch, and
in sanderous illusions to his deceased ia
Their, to which KallOch replied in speech.
For several days past the newspaper of the
De Young brothers has been filed with the
mencing when he was lad of u years of age.
and bringing the history of his life down to
the present time. To these attacks KallOch
replied in kind at mass-meeting of the
WOrkingmen held last night, making
the most outrageous allegations against
the character of the DE Yot,hss and their
mother. Having heard what had been said
about them, Charles De Young drove in a
coupe TO the side entrance of Metropolitan
Temple this morning. and sent a District
Telegraph messenger to tell kallOch that
some one wished to see him. Kalloch imme-
diately made his appearance. in obedience
to the summons, entirely unarmed and I'M
prepared for an attack, when De Young fired
a revolver at him twice, shooting him once
i'm the breast and once in the thigh. produce
inc what proved to be very dangerous
wounds. The discharge of the pistol brought
a swarm of Kalloch's friends to his assist
ance, who immediately surrounded the
coupe, turned it over, and dragged De
Young from it. He was kicked and bruised
by the excited crowd, and would doubtless,
have been killed had not II number of police
men come to his rescue and Immediately
hurried him to the security Of the Jail.

Lovely Bathing Suits.

A correspondent of the Bangor Com
mercial writing from Old Orchard Beach
shows how lovely America has conquer
ed the problem of the bathing-suit. The
fair one writes as follows: But let us
90 back to our omnibus and to the beach,
and see how lovely America has last at
conquered even the problem of the bath
ing-sliit. Here, as we sit, we can. see
one, two, three fair creatures, no longer
disguised and disfgured by slouchy
tunics and baggy trousers and streaky
colors, but positively adorned. There is
white suit, fitting like charm, with
its short shoulders, its gored skirt, its
elbow sleeves, its frills at the neck and
ut knee, where the trousers cease, all
trimmed with torchon lace and light blue
cambria of Chambery bands that even salt
water can not streak OF change. And
then the striped, the clicked or the
solid-Med stockings that may ego y
with this seductive suit, and the hat
that crowns all-no monstrosity of half
worn dinginess, but n trim stiff-rimmed
white straw, banded and bowed with
the blue cambria. Even the bathing
shoes of white canvas are rosetted with
blue, the whole offering a charming
contrast to the old scarecrow styles.
And how does this blue and white SPLEEN
dor come out of Neptune's wet arms ?
Not badly. The contrast of color is
still there, and there is no long skirt,
no baggy trousers to flap and cling.
The young lady who sits for this picture
of white and blue under your eyes was
very pretty mermaid as she emerged
from the waves, the stiff hat glistening
in the sun and the torchon lace she'd
ding the water like !, strainer. Alter
mating with the blue and white are pink
and red, the light colors carrying the
day over the navy blue and dark shades
of the old style.
AN extensive emigration which is GO
ing on from the central provinces of
Russia lying to the south and southeast
of Moscow is causing the authorities
much anxiety. The fact is that lands
once rich and fertile, and affording am
pie subsistence to large families, are
now so exhausted, owing to the iono-
rant and wasteful system of agriculture
universally pursued, that the peasant
finds it impossible to obtain bread for
| himself and his family, and at the same
time to meet the heavy taxes with which
the Russian lower classes are burdened.
| The land taxes were generally assessed
according to the fertility and prosperity
of the districts in which they are levied.
/ The more eastern provinces of Russia,
| having hitherto suffered from the draw
| backs of inaccessibility and thinness OF
| population, have been comparatively
! lightly taxed. The disadvantages. how
ever, under which they formerly lay are
now rapidly disappearing, and it is,
/ therefore, toward these eastern Govern
ments that the present stream of emf
! grafton is setting.

HOW A FARM WAS EARNED.

A young man. says the Cincinnati
Times, was very anxious to secure
piece Of property, which was for sale
on very advantageous terms. He went
to confer with 3 friend who was 9
banker, and to inquire whether 1t
would be prudent to borrow the reqil-
site sum and pay it in regular install
ments, thinking that he should be able
TO manage all but the first installment.
He was advised to borrow from the
bank q sum large enough to cover the
first payment, lay it strictly aside, and
then go ahead. But" said his friend,
'you must spend literally nothing.
You must live off your place. You
must make box and drop in i. all the
money you receive" The young man
and his wife went brsvely to work to
follow his advice. If it was necessary
to dine on q head of boiled cabbage
and salt, they did so and never grum-
bled. Every payment was promptly
met. The egg money. and the butter
money, and the corn and wheat money
all went into the payment box. and
at specified time the place was theirs.
There was an invisible wealth about
SUCH hard earned possessions that CON-
mon observers knew nothing of. On
the day of the last payment the young
man presented himself before his friends
with smiling face and with the money
in his hand. There were no rags to be
seen. but bis clothing was we'll covered
with darns from head TO foot. "You
see have followed your advice" he
said, casting bis eyes over himself, "snd
my wife looks worse than | do. But /
have earned the farm. and now l know
how 10 earn another"
