CAR DRIVERS RESUME WORK.
Their Case Hopeless and Stampede
for Reinstatement.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The strike of
the street car drivers has proved a COM
plete failure. The strike did not extend
to all the roads IN the city, although the
cars were taken off at night from those
roads on which no strike occurred from
fears of violence. Some strikers returned
to work yesterday and tonight. All the
roads are operated as usual. The majori-
ty of the strikers who were reinstated
were obliged to produce evidence that
they had Withdrawn from the Knights of
Labor. The companies have employed
enough men to convince the strikers that
they could not succeed. As soon as the
men became satisfied of this they stam-
peded for their old places.

EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA.
Hundreds of Terrified People Spend the
Night i'm the Streets

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-The earth
quake shock last night was the
heaviest experienced here since the
great one of 1868. Buildings groaned, me-
tallic rOOfings cracked, and many persons
rushed, half-dressed, from houses and
hotels. The recollection of its being
within one day of the anniversary of the
earthquake of 1868 seemed to increase
their fears, and many people walked the
streets all night in preference to re-enter-
ing their houses. Earthquakes are re-
ported to have occurred during the night
and morning at several places along the
coast. The weather is oppressive.

MIR. BLAINE's BOOKS.
Two Works Which will Enrich the
Maine Statesman.

Mr.. Blaine has nearly completed his
history of From Lincoln to Garfield. =
lie will then begin upon a history of the
war Of 1872. No satisfactory history CON
fined to this interesting period has ever
been written. Mr.. Blaine proposes to fill
up this gap in our history, and has already
gathered a mass Of material for it. From
a personal friend of MI. Blaine's, have
learned that he was offered 100000 in
cash for the two volumes OF Lincoln to
Garfield he is now writing. Mr.. Blaine
was new TO the book business and was
about to accept the offer, when friend
urged him not to, but to insist in its place
upon a royalty of 30 cents a volume.
HIS friend. who has same experience
with publishers. said: "lOu will make
much more money by insisting upon a
royalty"
Mr.. Blaine, however, was not SO san
@uine in his belief in the great sale of the
book. He finally agreed to take $4,000
and a royalty of II cents a volume.
This friend of Mr.. Blaine said: Il be-
lieVe the royalty will bring hm in nearly
as much as the cash down. The publish
ers have advance orders for 100. 900 Of the
history and are perfectly confident they
viii sell 100000 volumes.
MIR Blaine has great mass of material
for the history OF the Garfield admins
tration and the canvass preceding the
election. Mr.. Blame has preserved all of
the papers of his term Of Office as Secre-
tary OF state by having official copies of
everything made before he left the de-
partment. He has also a number of Gar
fields personal papers. In addition to
this he has very large number OF letters
from General Garfield when he was or
gaulZing his Cabinet. In the month of
December following his election Garfield
came to Washington and sent for Senator
Blaine. He offered him the place of See
retary of state. Blaine considered the
office two or three DAYS and then accepted,
his acceptance being kept officially secret.
Garfield soon after returned tu Mentor.
From then on he wrote very freely To Mr..
Blaine. There was scarcely a day that
passed without Mr.. Blaine's receiving a
long letter from the PFcsident-elect. ask
ing his advice upon nearly every public
man. His success may bring other pub
Tic men into the ranks of historical wri-
ters. 1t X one of the complaints Of stu
dents of American history, and particu-
larry of the history of politics, that so
little has been done by the leading men of
the times to leave upon record Il true in
side picture of the events where they were
the prominent actors.
There is hardly man 0flOng experience
and public affairs who does not possess
an endless fund Ofpersonal rcminiscence.
They are fond Of relating, but not ct
writing their experiences. Some of the
best pictures of current history are
wasted in the social chat of we'll ar
ranged dinner-table. If public men learn
sOmethin. from Mr.. Blaine's example the
future student Of politics will be greatly
the gamer.

The professional beauties do not all
wear petticOats. Some Of them grow
moustaches. part their hair after the man
ner Of the patriarchs and run up bills at
the tailOr's. Beauties of this sort are in
great demand for two special callings-
the church and the stage. \ pulpit
beauty with brains enough to read Il ser
mon and wit enough not to get married
has capital to bank on that will pay
him heavy returns rs long as he keeps it
intact. Unmarried, he may live in clover
and die in the odOr of sanctity, while out
of the pulpit, taking his part in the home
lier struggles of the unsanctitied, he might
not be able to earn his salt. \ pulpit
beauty who adds genius to looks is man
to bee envicd and pitied-envied for his
genius and his opportunity, pItIed for the
certainty of his fate. 1t is not in the
power Of any brilliant man to withstand
the whitehead alteration of brilliant wO-
men. The fervid preacher is sure to be
snatched from his pulpit. The high
shrine doors never vet kept back assault
ing beauty. 1t is a happy thing that the
ranks of the priesthood are not largely
recruited from among the elegant youths
who add grace to beauty. AdOnis is nearly
always of another mind.
The stage suits him better. And here
again the world is lucky. He seldom suits
the stage. \ man who looks we'll may
drone in the pulpit; he cannot drivel on
the stage. Hence the scarcity of the pro-
fessional beauty among actors. When
found he is a treasure; but he is usually
an ass. also. The undisguised admiration
of the female sex will turn almost anv
man into cOXcOmb, and the handsome
actor is sure to have it. There have been
several Of late years who have strutted on
the stage in this country their little strut,
and winked out. We need not name
them. Tney are gone their way. Some

we throw them away. 1t will be news

of the celebrated Marine Band to have it
taken from the Marine Corps and attach
ed to the Presidents household. This
organization has been in existence over
seventy years, and is the finest military
band in the country. The members of the
band receive. ridiculOusly small wages,
and but for the fact that they are allowed
to take outside engagements it would be
impossible to hold them together. The
pay is from $21 to $3S per month. Colonel
Macauley, commanding the Marine Corps,
has refused for the past two years to allow
the band to accept any engagements out
side this city. This is the moving cause
of the effort that is to be made to get the
band from under the control of that corps.
