He had just got his oyster shop opened
to the public, the other day, when in
came a man, who asked;
Got any rawsy'
Eyes, sir.
"Serye EN- on the hali.shellY
1--WE do"
Extra large"
I'VE have some OF the largest oysters
| ever saw.
The price was asked and given, and as
it seemed to be perfectly satisfactory
the man ordered q dtzsn and added;
'I've got slight contraction OF the
muscles OF the throat, and sometimes |
choke, Ii anything happens to me run
me to the door where | can get the all
and then rush for drink of water
The caterer promised to observe the
canton, but it was only when the 10Th
and last oyster was taken in between
two rows of teeth, which stood out like
ten-penny nails, that anything hap
pened. Then the cater suddenly raised
one leg, his eyes brlged out ana he be-
gan to skip around like a goat lodging
club The choke had come. The
caterer seized him by the arm and ush'
cred him to the door, and then hurried
TO the rear end of the restaurant for a
glass of water. When he returned with
II, half expecting to see the customer
lying on the floor in the agonie of suffo-
cation, no one was in sight The man
was not in the door, nor around the
door. He was two blocks away, and
the 10Th oyster had gone down to keep
the company of the other IL.
Just exactly another such thing won't
happen in that place again. Some other
man with a contracted throat may start
in to play the game, but before he has
eaten his second oyster he viii be dis
patched with hickory club, and his
body sent to some medical college t.
find whore the loose spoke was.

New York Reporters at swell
Dinners.
Brooklyn Eagle. J

brooklyn Eagle.I
The st. Nicholas recently gave swell
dinner, at which new rule was intio-
duced by Mr.. Charles Schernefhoin.
This gentleman was then secretary of
the club. lie had spent previous
winter in London md had become
thoroughly infected with Anglomania.
Therefore, at the first meeting of the
dinner committee he proposed an En-
gli,h rule, which was adopted. 1t was
that the reporters from the morning
newspapers should be kept in an ante
room, whence they could hear the
speeches. etc, through partly open
door. This, it seems, is tine Engi sh
idea. In America it is the custom to
send to every paper two invitations
for its reporters. They are pre-
cisely like the invitations sent to any
other guest, except the name OF the
paper is written on them, and the re-
porters attend in full evening dress. and
eat their dinner precisely in the same
manner as any other gentleman present.
1t is only when the speeches begin that
their avoeation is made known by pencil
and paper All the daily papers are
well represented at swell dinners, and
the result is that the best men on the
staff are usually sent. The leading re-
porters of metz opolitan journals are very
often vastly superior in intelligence,
culture and address to the men at whose
tables they dine. But the st. Nicholas
Club insisted on being swell. At the
same time they wanted to get their
names in the papers. So as usual, they
sent each paper two invitations, and
when the reporters arrived in their
dress-suits they were unceremoniously
shown into the ante-room by the tiun-
kies aud left to themselves. By the
time the dinner had commenced all the
reporters were present The members
Of the club sat down to dinner, and the
reporters calmly went down to their Off
ces. After the dinner was over the
members got up and delivered their
speeches in loud and ringing tones, one
after the other, carefully turning in the
direction of the half-opened door, and
reading extensively from notes. This
went on for three hours, when IL oc-
Cured to one of the members, who was
not so affected by the Engli h craze as
were the others, that the reporters
might be thirsty. Therefore he seized a
bottle OF champagne in each hand and
started into the ante-room. 0ratorical
flights fell below par as soon as the door
was opened. and the diners felt de-
pressed. The next day not line ap-
peared in any of the papers about the
great St. Nicholas Club banquet, all of
which proves that it is not always a
good thing to be too English.

reservoirs in the hills, on the west side
Of the riverj and, as the river water gen
orally runsto waste during some Of the
twelve months, during which time lts
volume is double and treble, or even
quintuple what its when used, II fol
lows that, Ia the interest Of true econo-
my, that portion Of 1t which can be CON
trolled on the lower level should be dis.
tributed through cemented bitches OF
pipes to consumers; and that some mo.
dule or measure should be introduced
whereby they should get what they paid
for, instead Of being left 10 the tender
merces Of the officers in Charge of the
system of city water distribution.
Having disposed of the lower level
the municipal dealing with the upper
level becomes comparatively easy II
we assume that by widening the canal
and reservoir ditch, a stroam OF water
could be run through 1t, during the seven
non-irrigating months. which would
empty thirty cubic feet of water into a
reservoir per second-a water delivery
which would cover an acre OF ground
one foot deep in twenty-four minutes
and twelve seconds--it seems TO be as
plain az The nose on mans face, that
the attainment of such an end Is very
desirable. The reservoirs exist Ia the
hills. They only need to be properly
damned. Their capacity could be de-
termned 10 advance The wherowith
10 fill them exists; aud the only engin.
eoring difficulty, apart from finding the
money wherewith TO do the work, Is In
providing against the loss of water
whilst ia transit from the river TO the
reservoirs, and thence to the consumer.
In making the reservoirs our engin-
eoring friend is Of the opinion that three
hundred acres of storage room can be
found, which might be filled with water
to au average depth of twenty feet, and
be ready for distribution about the mid
die of April. This amount would be
equal to six Thousand acres of water one
foot deer, which would serve'to give one
good irrigation to three times that
area.
Again, by widening the canal and req
ervoir ditch, tho immense waste, which
East Los Angeles suffers in her allot-
mont Of water, could be done away
with; for, at the point where The canal
aud reservoir ditch passes near the resi-
donce of Mr.. Darbey, that portion of
tho water intended for East Los Angeles
could be piped across the river to its
corresponding level, and thence TO the
East Los Angeles reservoir, which might
be doubled in capacity at a small ex-
pcnse compared with the benefits to be
derived from the work.
OF course, all this means the expendi-
ture of money, Perhaps the whole
scheme is in advance of our necessities.
Granting thi., we must admit. also, that
to something Ike this we must come
evenlnally; and there ia no difficulty in
realizing the further conclusion that no
scheme proposed viii stand criticism
that will not admit Of the city cauyirg
it out little by little, with the via3 Of
forming magnificent whole when tho
scheme shall have been completed

comotive wheels from slipping 1t con.

that a small jet Of hot water can be
played upon the track at the same time
this arrangement giving the drivers
their full power to propel the train, as
has been fully demonstrated.

The dIumbuR Mine.

The operations and results of this
mine are by no means truthtnlly desig.
mated by ats name. There are between
5000 and 1000 tons OF ore ON the dump
that will mill several hundred dollars a
ton. The amount of good ore taken out
daily is so great that it seems to be like
imposing on persons crodulity to state
the fact. Only five or six men take out
between 30 and 40 tons day. A blast
was put in recently that broke up 400
tons Of ore. 1t took nine days to reduce
this to small pieces and wheel it to the
dump. 1t was nearly all good ore. Tho
drill hole was twelve feet deep. After
the discharge of blast the earth for
twenty feet square looks as though an
earthquake had filled il with cracks.
Some of the assays 60 as high MS $4,000
or Sl5,0O0 to the ton. While in the
assay office belonging to the mine we
saw button from quarter ounce
assay weighed that amounted to S2652. a.
Tho owners of this mine intend TO put
MP a mill and crush their own ore, and
thus save the great expense required to
mill their ore at " custom mill. -Catico

The Examiner this morning comments
on an incident that took place in Santa
Barbara county at wedding. \ white
dove ilew in at the window OF the
church, and lighted ON the head OF the
bride. This, if true, WINS remarkable.
1t suggests the case of an evangelist
who preached the Word some years ago
in Salinas City. His church was large
barn, and in order to impress his con-
gregation, he engaged nn lrishmnn to
station himself in the loft with tame
white pigeon. When the preacher came
to the cue, "Lo! the Holy Ghost now
descepds upon MS in the form OF a
white dove, and fingers in our midst, y
the Irshman dropped the bird
through the trap door, the pigeon
circled the building over the heads of
the awe. stricken congregation aud then
returned tl its master. This was very
effective, aud the preacher became won
dcrfully popular. But one Sabbath,
when an immense crowd had assembled
to behold the miracle, the preacher gave
the enc, without the appearance OF the
dove. Again he repeated in loud and
warning tones, 10! the Holy Ghost
now descends upon us in the form of a
white dove, and fingers in our midst. y
The congregation gazed upward, and tho
Irishman, thrusting his head through
the trap, shouted to his reverend em-
ployer "Be iabers yes can't see the
Holy Ghost to-day; the cat kilt him. -

 Reception.
 Harmony lodge No. 5, I. o. O. F. of this city, was visited by a delegation of about 30 Newark, N. J., brethren last night, members of Lucerne lodge of that city. The visitors were met at the boat from New York and es- corted to the lodge room by Harmony lodge, beaded by Sassacus drum corps. Harmony lodge was out en masse last night to greet them. The visit was most heartily enjoyed by all. At the lodge session two members were initiated and on one the first degree was conferred, the work being done in very fine manner. Afterward a grand collation. was served in the banquet room. About 200 sat down to it. Later speeches were made by Grand Master Deming and Grand Warden Stannard of this city and by Newark brethren. Grand Secretary Botsford and Past Grand Master G. N. Moses were also present. A fine tribute of flowers and 8 beautiful banner were presented to Lucerne lodge, Mir. George BlRkeman, P. G., mak- ing the presentation speech. The gifts were from little miss who worked the banner, which was hand painted. Among the New Jersey visitors were Noble Grand Crane and Vice Grand Oonnear of Lucerne, Aldermen Dunn and Dunhan, both of whom are Past Representatives, District Deputy Charles Baldwin of Lucerne, Past Grand Representative Miller of Newark, also l members of Friendship and Apollo lodges of Newark Noble Grand of Harmony occu- pied the chair. The guests were escorted to the boat at midnight, after rousing cheers ] had been exchanged at the lodge room. A 1 sample of the banquet cheer found it's way to 1 our typos, arousing further good feeling. Among the prominent Newark visitors were | Mir. George A. Gosgrove of Newark, former l ly of WhitneyviIIe, who acted as plenipoten- tiary in arranging the visit
