This was when, hoping to give her
pleasure, he brought in the first wild
roses of the season and held them before
her. Suddenly spasm passed ovei her
face, she gave gasp, turned aside, and
struggled for composure. Stephen
dropped the flowers as if they burned
his fingers and hurried out of the room.
A hot anger shot through him. "He
has ruined everything for her." he
thought. "Even rose reminds her Of

and they were not far from

than ever. Two years later he told
her 50.
To his surprise, she was neither aston
ished or shocked, but looked in his eyes
with a smile which was sad and tender
and sweet all at once.
"Dear Stephen" she said, "this is
just like you. Do you recollect the

the same thing now, but l am

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

INC strength Of a mans mind is
hown alike by what he believes and
by what he doubts.
Every man feels instincti,..ly that
all the beautiful sentiments in the
world weigh less tnan a single lovely
action, and that, while tenderness of
ieeling AID susceptibility TO generous
emotions are accidents of tempera-
ment, goodness is an achievement Of
the will and quality of life.
Like all Natures processes, old age
Is gentle and gradual in its approaches
strewed with Illusions, and all its little
griefs soothed by natural sedatiyes.
But the iron hand is not less irresisti-
Die because it wears velvet glove.
Many people economic the wrong
way. They will worry the pennies
and waste the dollars. A fortune, or
50 much saved and put away, is not
made this way, but by a careful out
look all the way round.
Those sentiments Of love which flow
from the heart cannot be frozen by
adversely
In nature the most valuable and the
beautiful usually go hand-in-hand;
and, if we do not always trace their
union, it is because our limited expe-
rience has not yet fathomed all her
secrets.
Every human being has a work to
carry on within, duties to perform
abroad, influences to exert, which ara
his, and which no conscience
bu his own can teach.

MhistIing RarNmniers.

In the village of Meyrin Canton of
Geneva Switzerland, some disused
wells, it is said, have been hermetically
sealed to serve as barometers to the
people. An orifce about an inch in di-
ameter is made in the cover of the well
by which the internal air is put in com
munication with the external. When
the air pressure outside diminishes on
the approach of a storm, the air in the
we'll escapes and blows whistle in con-
nection with the orif e, and in this way
notice of a storms approach is given to
the inhabitants. If, on the contrary
the pressure increases, a different sound
is produced by the entry of the air into
the well, and the probability of fine
weather is announced. .-ScientiJ8c Anseri.

Can the wild swan harried by hawks
And hunted and chased from rest,
Over deserts and bleak fields driven
From the quiet Of his nest
Where he never may pause a wing
Where life hath no clear, cool spring
Can he fee, think'st thou and sing.
With broken wingl
But give him his reedy haunts,
His mate, aud his silent pool,
And his shadowy lakes that ruu
To the heart of the forest cool,
And, though his wing be broken,
He will suffer and give no token,
Yet leave not a note unspoken,
Eut low in the reeds will sing.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Farmer and Wife Bru-
tally Murdered.
A CHINESE COOK SUSPECTED
The Man Found in a Chair and
the Woman in Bed with Hands
and Feet Bound.

Special to the Herald BE- the Associated Press.
CLovERpALE, CAL, January 23.--De-
tails reached here to-day Of the double
murder of prominent farmer, Jesse G.
wickersham and wife, at their ranch,
about twenty miles from this town. The
scene Of the murder was visited by
Deputy Sheriff Crigler. Wiokershan,
was found sitting in chair in the din
ing-room dead. with blood oozing from a
wound in the breast and another in the
head. Mrs. Wickersham was found
dead on the bed in bedroom upstairs,
her hands and feet bound and wound
in her breast. The yaluables on both
bodiea were intact. which showed rob-
berry was not the object Of the crime.
All the wounds were inflicted by shot
gun. Strong circumstantial evidence
points to the Chinese cook, All Kai, en-
ployed by the murdered couple, who
has disappeared. The murder evidently
took place Monday night. 1t is be-
lie we'd the Chinaman took the early
mo rning train Tuesday at Cloverdale for
San Francisco, and embarked on the
steamer Rio de Janeiro, which sailed
from there 10 Hong Kong Wednesday.
The crime was first discovered Thurs
day evening. but owing to the bad con-
dition Of the roads, caused by the recent
storm, no reliable information could be
obtained earlier.

The road between the junction Of the
s. P. r. r. with the road TO Long Beach
has been repaired and persons wishing
to visit that charming beach will find
the carriage of the Long Beach Hotel al
the junction on the arrival of all trains.
Should the weather prove favorable
this week, work will be commenced on
the present horse railroad track. which
will be speedily changed to regular
gauge railroad track, to accommodate all
persons who wish to whit the beach
without change Of oars from other sta.
tions. The Southern Pacific Railway
Company will put switch at the juno
tion in short time. In a short time
trains from Boston can land their pas.
seneers at Long Beach without change
of cars.
The protection afforded to the harhor
Of San Pedro and the shore at Long
Beach by the islands Of Santa Catalina
and San Clen,ente was plainly exhibited
during the storm last week. While the
sea at San Francisco and other ports was
disastrously high and vessels dragged
anchors in . lsnd-locked harbor, the
largo ships at anchor at San Pedro outer
harbcr lay in safety and quietness. Our
islands and harbor are memorable fol

ssveet Charity,s sake.

The ladies Of the relief committees
wore hard at work all yesterday, and
about ten new families were relieved in
their distress. To-day they will take a
much needed rest, the sufferers being all
supplied. 50 far as their cases are known,
with necessaries for the day.
On Monday there will be meeting
held In the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms, in Ma
deau Block. at 10 O'Clock sharp. and all
the ladies' are requested to be punctu-
ally present, as matters of importance
will come up.
Until further notice all who may wish
to see any OF the relief committees on
any business will find them at these
rooms.
They are greatly In need of old furni-
ture, old carpets and bedding, and
persons having such to spare
should let the committees know
where it may be gotten. They also
want everything in the way Of groceries.
Old clothes of ali sorts, and undercloth-
ing is badly needed. In mems apparel
the thing most needed is a supply Of
pantaloons. There are numerous per-
sons who have cast-of garments which
merely lumber up the closets. Send
your useless clothing TO the ladies' af1I
they will put it where it will do most
good.
The case mentioned Friday as needing
special attention has been taken in hand
by some kind lad,. There are other
such cases. Are there any more such
kind ladies' to come in and take them in
hand?
Many people think the ladies can
put back their houses which were
removed from the lots, or even
replace with new ones those
carried away. Others think the
ladies will be able to set them up in
business again. And these are disap-
pointed when such aid is refused. 1t is
impossible. The committee has not the
funds to do such thing with. 1t would
require very large sum to do it. With
the limited means at their disposal all
they can do or attempt 10 do is to pro.
vide with the neoessaries of life those
who are in actual want. 1t will sorely
tax their strength and resources to do
this much.
Among the most active and untiring Of
the workers for the relief Of this suffering
and want is Rev. p. w. Dorsey. of the
First Baptist church. Mr.. Dorsey has
been in constant service all the time.
He has been unwearied ia going hither
and thither, and his good advice has
been of great aid to the ladies'. II the
reverend gentleman should preach an
old sermon to-day his people had just
better be asleep--to that fact at least.
