the sobbing of child. 1t came nearer,
then stopped, and little knock was
heard on the door.
The dame thought she must have
been dreaming; no one ever knocked
at that door, so she went on knit
ting-clickety click, clickety click.
The cat opened her eyes wider and
gave little flourish of her tail.
Knock, knock! There it was again!
So the dame shufned over to the door,
and, pokiug out her head, cried:
"Wko's thereP"
"Me ma am" said tiny voice.
"And what do you wantp"
"Tm so hungry"
"This is no place to come for food; l
havn't enough for myself"
"But am very tired"
$50 am l." And with that the old
woman banged the door and came
back to the fire.
The sobbing began again, and the
wind muttered and growled in the
chimney and moaned about the caves.
The cats eyes grew greener, and her
tail lashed about. She drew herself up
even more than before; and then, to the
DANES utter surprise. the cat SAID:
"You have made a. great mistake, -"
"How sop returned the dame drop
ping the knitting, and peering over her
glasses, as if 1t was their fault she had
not heard Alright.
You have turned away peace and
plenty from your door," said the cat,
very grandly.
Pooh, pooh," said the old woman.
Il tell you again, you will rue it, !"
said the cat.
care you sure" asked the dame, i'm
pressed by the cats dignified and posi-
tive manner.
"Quite sure" said the cat; "she
would have brought you gold"
That magic word made the dame
start.
"Who could have brought me gold'"
she asked.
"The child"
"Who is she?"
"No matter" said the cat.
sis it too late to call her back?" in
quired the old woman anxiously, and
shufiling again toward the door.
Try" said the cat.
The dame opened the door, but the
night was too dark to see anything. In
spite of her deafness, however, she
thought she heard a cry. She groped
her way in its direction, and there,
crouching under corner of the rickety
old fence, was the self same child.
"Come with me-" said the dame and
the child arose and followed her.
When they had come back to the
house, they found the cat curled up in
a heap, and apparently asleep. The
dame muttered angrily about being SO
foolish as to listen to what cat said.
But just then she heard low, Take
care"
1t could have come only from the cat,
for the child was warming it's poor lit
tie hands before the tiny blaze, and the
kettle had begun to sing.
Then the old woman took out can
die, lighted it, and surveyed the child.
She was little creature, thin, and
half-starved looking, but her eyes were
of the soft blue of wild violets, and hel
hair was yellow rs sunshine.
"What is your nameP" demanded the
dame. peering at the little girl.
Theodore or Dora as mama called
me-"
"Where is your mother?"
sin heaven"
"And you: where did you come
from; where are you goingP"
"Im tr"ing to find mamma"
Nothing more could the old woman
draw from the sobbing little creature
But her old, wthered heart began tC

How To ESCAPE CRAMPS IN SWIM
MING.-A correspondent Of the New
York san says that cramps are
brought on chiefly by the bather
going into the water overheated and
staying in too long. To avoid cramps
one should battle frequently and not
stay in too long-that is, over fifteen
minutes-until such time as he has
become so accustomed as to fear no
danger. In case of any one being
taken with cramps in the water, a
safe way out of the danger is to keep
your presence of mind. turn over on
your back, and float until YOU feel the
cramps relax, then resume swimming
gently, not violently. Repeat this rs
often as the circumstances NAV re-
quire, and by so doing you will escape
the danger usually accompanying
cramps. This remedy know to be
safe, having been several times taken
with the cramps in the water, and
each time resorted to it with safety.

THE WIFE.-The true wife not only
has the confidence of her husband.
but the affairs under her personal
supervision and exclusive care flourish
like a garden, says a level-headed
writer. All things beautiful spring
from her touch, and he enjoys the
blessing of her tact without fully re-
alizing how it comes. She loves the
praise of her husband, she is DESTROYS
to be permitted to share his life-work.
and his confidence is the only reward
she seeks. She never overtaxes his in
come, for she knows how much it is,
end she keeps within it. She may
sometimes long for an increase of
worldly goods, but never reproaches
him when he is doing his best.

A DefauIter Held.

Chicago, October Frederick W.
Ker, the defaulting cashier of Preston,
Kean & Company, bankers, had a hear
ing IN habeas corpus, before Judge
Drummond, in the United States cir
cult court, and the decision was given
this morning. The points in the pres
ent potion were the same as those rails
ed in the petition 6led in the state
court and which was denied. Ker was
arrested in Peru, and sets up a plea
that he is a British subject and was
kidnapped by United States ofic-
ials.
Judge Drummond said Ker should
have made application to the govern
ment of Peru for protection, and while
he would deny the petition, remarked
that the case involved a number of del
icate points of International law,
which he would like to see presented to
the supreme court. The counsel for
Ker say the matter will be appealed.

More Yellow Fever.

San Francisco. October "a Quay
mas dispatch that several
more cases of yellow fever, of a light
character, are reported. Two deaths
were also reported in the last twenty
four hours. Fruit is now permitted to
be sold in market by the authorities.
Five deaths from yellow fever are re-
ported at Mulch, in lower California.
Passengers on board the yellow fever
steamer Newbern, in this harbor, have
been permitted to come ashore. The
remaining two patients, with their
nurse, have been placed on a barge
secured for that purpose. The steamer
will be thoroughly disinfected before
being permitted to return to Mexico.
All danger to the city from yellow
fever may now be said to have passed.

San Francisco, October 81. Storey,
who went up on the last trip Of the
revenue steamer, Corwin, for the pur-
pose of distributing among the Tchuck-
chez Indians, of Alaska, the five
thousand dollars worth Of presents
given them by the government in rec
ognition of the shelter and food afford
ed the officers and crew of the steamer
Rogers, burned in 1881, reports the
discovery of an immense river hitherto
unknown to g~eographers. The river
had been vaguely spoken of by the In
dams to former explorer, and Storey,
being compelled to await the return
trip of the Corwin, determined to see
il there was anything in it. Accom-
panied by n attendant and an inter
prefer, he proceeded inland from Hot
ham inlet in a southeasterly direction
untiIEhe struck what he believed to be
the mysterious river. He traced it to
its mouth, a distance of about fifteen
miles, where he saw such an immense
piece of floating timber as to satisfy
him that the stream must be of i'm
mense size.
He retraced his steps a distance Of
fifty miles, where he encountered a
PARTY of natives, from whom he learned
that to reach the head waters of the
unknown. stream would take several
months. The Indians told him that
they came down it a distance of 1850
miles with a fur trader and that the
river ran up higher than that. Hay
ing no time to go further, Storey re-
turned.
1t is his opinion as stated by those
on the Corwin from whom this infor.
nation has been obtained that the dis
coYery of this river accounts for the
large amount of floating timber in the
Arctic ocean, popularity supposed tc
come down the Yukon. The Indians
stated that the river in some places was
twenty miles wide.
1t is within the Arctic circle, but in
August when Storey was there, ht
found flowers and vegetation not here
tofore discovered in so high a latitude
He has forwarded his report to the sec
rotary Of the navy, and hopes to be per
mitted to come back and continue hi
explorations.

The Mormon Question.

Chicago, October 9.-This mornings
issue of the Tribune says: The dis
reimbursement of the entire population
in Utah, where the authority of the
United States is thus dehed and sub
verified by the priesthood, is recon-
mended by George Murray and is fav-
ored by the leading gentiles. That
would sweep away all the political
power of the priesthood, and could
then be run by the federal governm ent
as the District of Columbia, where
the abolition of suffrage has been fol-
lowed by the happiest results. When
this has been done other steps could be
taken to break up the commercial snd
Industrial monopoly, which the priests
are trying to build up, and to keep
them within their legitimate function
of directing the doctrinal life of theil
people. In that they could indulge Il
their hearts content in any vagaries o.
eccentricities that seemed good to them
This mormon question the sooner it /
settled the easier treatment will be.

Fraudulent CoupOns,

New York. October 9.-The COM
missloners Of accounts in the Carroll
coupon frauds, allege that the frauds
could only have been made through
gross carelessness, that Carroll must
have had a~ccomplices, that proofs ex-
list that the coupons of the surplus
BOND issue were used, and that the
radical reorganization of the financial
department is necessary. Mayor Ed
son says that in looking over the report
several features struck him, one being
the manner in which the interest ac-
count had been conducted in the comp
troller's Office, and another is the allie
CATION of surplus, or the difference be-
tween coupons printed and coupons
issued, that were not destroyed.

Civil Riuhts Question.

New York, October 9.-Theresa W.
King, colored, was refused admission
to public school No. 5, Brooklyn, and
directed to attend colored school No. l.
She applied for a mandamus to compel
Principal Gallagher to admit her to No.
5. Chief Justice Nelson, of the city
court, Brooklyn, after a full argument,
refused the writ. The general term of
the city court affirmed his decision and
the court of appeals affirmed the lower
courts.
Two points, principally, were argued.
One, that the exclusion was in viola
tion of the fourteenth amendment, and
the other, that it was opposed to the
civil rights bill this state passed in
1873. The defendant c%ontended it was
not in violation of either amendment,
and that equal facilities for the educa-
tion of the child were afforded in the
colored schools and consequently there
was nc discrimination against her in
assigning her to such colored school.

The Railroad Pool.

Chicago, October 9.-The Tribune
s Us 1t is now generally understood in
railroad circles here that John c. Gault,
who was recently appointed commits
sioner of The California pool, will not
accept the position. 1t was stated
heretofore that Gault would not accept
the place if he was required to nov to
San Francisco, as his wife's health does
not permit her to reside in that place
and he does not care to go there with
out her. The officers of the Central
and Union Pacific roads, it is under
stood, insist that the commissions
shall have his headquarters in San
Francisco.
Names are already being ~canvassed
for another commissioner. Q. q.
Wheeler, late general manager of the
Santa Fe, Is being mentioned and sc
are also E. Z. Ripley, general freight
| agent Of the Burlington, aud E. P
Vining, freight traffic manager of the

ever, that neither Ripley nor Wheele.
want the position, as they also do no
care to move to San Francisco. There
fore 1t is quite probable Vining will
ultimately get tire place although h,
may encounter some opposition iron
