Vienna Letter to San Francisco Chronicle.
The old palace which we inhsbit in the
Himmolp fort gasse is built around large
court, snd we occupy the first and third
floors, The second A>or belongs to distant
members Of the family, who come to Vienna
to spend Christmas and the carnival season.
The children, governess, tutors and servants
occupy thu upper story, bu. we 'maids
generally slept IN an outer room or corridor
beside our respective mistresses. We rarely
have beds, but wa sleep on sofas or dvans,
over which damask Turkish covering is
thrown during the day, our washb wis and
soap Guns hidden away in superbly carved
Louis WI, c,sket, and when strangers are
shown through the palace, as they often are,
in the absence of the family, no one would
suspect that the exquisi,ely carved oak ante
rooms could assume bedroom costume in
two minutes and quarter. Library, psrlor,
ante.room and dning-room are often used MS
sleeping rooms by families of the highest
rank. A screen is placed so IS 10 hide the
bed in thu daytime, and guests arc received
IN my lsdV's chamber. OF course there are
families of sufficient we 'lth to have a palace
al to themselves, but even among tnese such
lack of comfortable easy chairs and sp ing
beds ara enough to disgust an American.
Long, narrow bedsteads, u straw I'd and u
moas m ,t.ress with heavy linen sheets "a big
corona. embroidered on them, Of course)
and a r|umeau, which means dowA bed, as
coverlii, Is sleeping accoutremeDt enough
for European. Indeed, our emperor has
nothing better.

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. S.-The impanel-

in the Gray murder case. The jury is com
posed Of intelligent and responsible citi-
zens from every portion Of the county.
This morning the defendants counsel pro-
duced ahidavits showing that since the ad-

that one Of the jurors has expressed him
self very bitterly towards the defendant,
and asked to question the juror. The ap-

LONDON. Feb. s.-The vessel wrecked
in Dunlap Bay last night was the steamer
Bohemian, Captain Grundy, from Boston
Jan. 81, for Liverpool. The vessel went
ashore on the Irish coast during a dreadful
storm. Twelve persons were drowned.
Twenty-one Of the crew, including the
second officer, we're saved. Another sur
vivor is on a rock, separated from the main
land. Efforts to rescue him have 80 far
failed, two life boats having capsized in
the attempt. A l~ife-saving apparatus has
been sent for. The steamer Is q total loss.
A tug arrived at Crookhaven with the sur
vivors, all sick from exhaustion, exposure
and bruises.
Home Secretary said that orders had been
given to treat Davitt with all possible in
diligence. He occupies . room containing
a bed, and is kept apart from the other
convicts. He will not be subjected to the
ordinary prison diet, but must wear a con-
vict's dress. 1t is understood that a care

consequence Of statements with regard to
his health.
An official dispatch from Pretoria says
The troops captured a Boer Loagar on the

also that of the British, owing to the
treachery Of the Beers, who, after hosting
the white flag, fired on the British without
success. Many Loyalists have been forced

Of white Southerners who have become

ception should be made against his race

THE figures given out by the New Eng
land Anti Divorce Society show that in
Vermont the proportion of divorces to
marriages is one to fourteen, in Rhode
Island one to thirteen, and in Massachu-
sets one to twenty-ene. A speaker in
one of the society's meetings said ga
curious fact is that in Ohio the number
of divorces is in proportion to the New
England element in the population.
Wherever New England influence is felt
there has been an increase. The Wes-
tern Reserve in Ohio, consisting of the
twelve northeastern counties, is said to
contain a New England stock purer than
can be found anywhere else, except a few
counties in Maine, and here the proper
ton of divorces to marriages is one to
eighteen, while in the rest of the State it
is one to nineteen. In Ashtabula county
it is one to eight, and in Lake county the
proportion of divorce suits to marriages
is one to six and four-tenths. In some
Of the southern counties, where a differ
emit population prevails, it is about one
to fifty"

THE STRIKE AT SILVER REEF.
Attempting to Cut Down n Wages
of Miners.

or
The Phoebe Record says there la consid-
cradle excitement down at Silver Reef at
present, owing to a couple Of the mining
companies attempting to reduce the min
ers' wages from 81 to So so per day. This
trouble has been brewing for some time,
and during the past two weeks the Miners
Union of that place has held a number of
meetings, and decided to submit to no reduc-
ton of wages. On Tuesday morning, the
LIST instant, upon the miners going to the
Buckeye mine, of the Stormont Company,
they were met by Supt. Allen, who in
formed them that all men going into the
mine had to work for So so per day. Upon
learning this the men went back to town,
dressed themselves, and then marched
down to the mine in a body and ordered
every man working in it to come on top.
These men then Joined the crowd, and
all proceeded to the Savage shaft, and
the men working there also came out Of
the shaft and fell in line. They then very
orderly and quietly marched to the Barbee
& Walker Mine and told the miners to
come on top, which they did, and also fell
in line. The Barbee Il Walker Company
were given until noon Wednesday to clean
up their mill, and then shut her down.
The crowd then marched over to town.
The Christy Company refused to join with
the other companies in the reduction Of
wages. Capt. Fl. 8. Lubbock, the Super
intendent, said that the Christy Com
pany's mines could afford to pay 81 per
day, and that he thought a competent
miner earned 81 every day he worked. We
do not apprehend any violence being COM
mitted by the Union men, for that a~ssocia-
ton is well organized, and contains many
intelligent and worthy men who will be
able to control the hot-heads and prevent
them from committing rash acts. It would
have been q far greater saving to q certain
company down there il they had employed
good practical miners at 81 per day in
stead of incompetent Jack Mormons, who
know nothing about mining and attempt to
cut wages down to So 30 per day.
