A Feminine Swimming Match.


In a secluded part of the Passaic river,
above the quaint village Of Bellville, New
Jersey, a select party of relatives and per-
sonal friends assembled early on Wednes-
day 10 witness q swimming match between
six comely water nymphs for prizes con.
tributed by gentlemen friends, the match
having been made ten days before at
Asbbury mark. The contestants and their
costumes are thus described by a specta-
tor: Miss Bently, 20 years old, tall,
splendidly formed blonde, had on loose
bathing-dress Of light gray cloth, with high,
gray stockings and a red cap. She was the
9nlv one attired in that style OF dress.
When the others threw aside their cloaks
picturesque scene was presented. All bad on
what may be appropriately called Jersey
bathing suits" tor they fitted like gloves.
The suits were armless and came down
only 10 the knees, where they were
fastened with knots OF ribbon,
leaving the white limbs uncovered below.
Miss Garner, Is years old, charming little
blonde. wore a light blue suit. Miss Flood,
A plump. brown-haired maid OF IS sum
mers, looked picturesque in a zebra suit OF
yellow aud black. Miss Marley, also bru-
netie, % years old. was charming in drab
Jersey, with black trunks. and Miss Freel,
petite and slender semi-5londe - IL
wears old, was captivating in q suit Of light
blue. The most attractive suit was the red
and black costume Of Miss Anderson, y
years old. a seni-brunette. with tall, ath-
letic figure. She was looked upon as sure
winner.

decided IN do In the matter Of the proposed
extension OF the lIno, and whetherit would
be from Dallas or Fort Worth. but they pro-
tested that they had nothing on the subject.
II IL rumored, however, that the extension
will At an early day be pusued from Dallas
IN Dortheasterly direction. via Paris, TO
Fort Smith. Arkansas, where IL will con-
meet with the 81. Louis & San Francisco
road. II Is intimsted In railroad circles
here that Huntington will follow Gould In
shutting out the Santa Fe, cutting her of
from New Orleans via the Star e Crescent
route. etc. II Is predicted that such state
of affairs will soon exist. There Is no
question but that bonus from Dallas to
the road would be an inducement for its
extending from this point. The officials of
the road have been in consultation with
Messrj. Akin and Gibson, who say that
the road expresses desire to build switch
by the cottOn-seed oil mills, though faint
suspicion prevails that it means getting

Carson Appeal.
A lot of Boston tourists were travel.
Ing In q sleeping car, also a Nevada
traveller. In the morning, when the
porter went round to collect his as
sessments on boot backing, there wac
a great commotion among the Boston
tourists. Some paid him a ive.cent
nickel, and those who had no picksls
were compelled to yield up short bits.
All the while the Nevada man, dressed
In ordinary clothes, sat rea6ing hi.

him he looked up iuquirlngly.
"Dld you black my boots2"
"Yes, ssh."
"You did a splendid job; never had
my boots BACKED so well before on this
line. Here's SO.
When the portor pocketed the
money the Boston people looked up
astonished, and presently it was ru.
mored abont that JOHN Mackey was
aboard or Eaoch Strother was out on
q campaigning trip. In a few min.
utes the Nevada man and the porter
met 10y chance In the smoking room.
"When does my sleeping ticket run

"Your time was up, sab, at Ogden;
but If you wants to ride to Reno, boss,

San Luis Cali Republic.
Hearing u report around town that
a valuable redwood and yellow pine
forest had been discovered BY r. d.
Cook of this place, about eighty miles
east Of town, WI dropped in upon that
gentleman and received full confirma.
ZION from him of the report. 1t seems
that about three weeks ago he becsme
alarmed at the long dry spell and Ia
company with another gentleman he
started for the hesdwaters Of the SIS
quoc In search of feed for his stock.
He reports the scenery along the route
after he left civilization as exceeding
ly grand, rivallng anything he ever
saw In his life, and he volunteered the
information that he had twice crossed
the plains and been through Central
Amerlc,. After riding as far as they
could they left their horses and footed
1t over the mountains and through
canyons, and nea the headwaters Of
one of the tributaries of the Slsauoc
they found themselves upon the brink
of a precipice over which the waters
of the creek poured with q
d~cafening rosr, falling q distance of
600 to 700 feet. He threw q rock
over the brink to test the distance and
waited to hear 1t strike the bottom,
but after waiting some time he con.
cluded 1t had lodged on the way down,
and was turning to leave, when the
rumblipg i%ntonations told him 1t had
Just reached the bottom. The view
from this point was grand and awe.
inspiring, aud II properly opened to
the public would rival the Yosemite
as an attraction. Fish and game
abound, and to illustrate the
plentifulness of the former he
stated that his companion on
several occasions took a common gun
ny sack and fastened 1t at a rifle and
would drive enough fish into 1t while
he was making a fire to serve them for
a meal. In coming down a canyon
they discovered a red wood forest that
has never before been known to exist
in that locality. He describes Its ex.
tent to be from % to 3 miles long, and
from to l mile wide. The trees
were from l to 6 feet In diameter,
and to use his own word.
"there Is enough timber there ,t
fence this valley into ten.acre lots.
Ga the outer edge of this grove he
found q tree that had been felled year.
and years ago by chopping around 1,
with q tomahawk, the blade of which
was not over three inches wide. HI
Is confident that no other white mar
ever stepped feet inside the grove,
for, said he, 1t would have been i'm
possible to have reached 1t 9
year ago; but about that time
forest FIRE burned off the
thick underbrush for miles this side
and made 1t possible for them tc
reach the grove on foot. He does moi
think that the discovery of the forest
or the magnificent falls will be of any
value for years to come, because O
the difficulty of building roads t;
them, but nevertheless he intends te
