The democrats at their conven.

nation the following ticket:

Supt. of Schools M. Meehan.
Dist. Attorney-Matthew Gering.
Probate Judge-E. e. Hamlin.
Coroner-Pat Carey.

This ticket has no particular ele-
ments of strength, and is very weak
in places. 1t will not be supported
by the democrats with that unanim.
ity that some of the candidates on
the ticket think. Many of the old
wheel horses of the party are dissat-
istied with the way some of the
young kids manipulate and control
party affairs. They have a way
down feeling in their hearts, that
these young fellows are usurpers,
and are determined upon their oy-
erthow, sooner or later.

Cost Of Keeping a Yacht.

"Of the steam yachts think James Cor
don Benefits Namouna is the most costly
to maintain. Her complement Of seamen,
carpenters, assistant engineers and double
sets of oilers and stokers numbers fifty, and
their bill alone calls for 81, 750 each month.
Her captain receives $500 for the same
period, while the chief steward and galley
retinue manage to claim 5000. The walters
about the saloon secure pay similar to that
of the sailors, and Mr.. Benefits amanu-
ensis receives 81, 800 year. To feed these
men almost 81 500 must be expended each
guests and owners table, nor does it take
in incidental items, which embrace every
thing from cannon ammunition to mar
line-spike. Another big liability is coal.
This is q necessity to steam yacht, and at
lowest market rate costs "a a ton. The
fuel of the Namouna averages $4,000 pc,
month. As understood IL, her fires are
never extinguished, not even ON Sunday
She is in commission nine months Of the
year. Annually the uniforms of the sailors
must be refitted, and these cost something
like 81 900 more, for the yacht must foot
the bill in accordance with the sailing arti
cles. The vessel must be repaired and re-
plenished as regards canvas, engineers
working apparatus, oil, cordage and deck
fixtures, so that at least 80, 900 more is ex-
pended. do not mention in that the loss
in animal depreciation and insurance. In
all think the Namouna costs her owner
800, 900 each year. Mr.. William b. Astor's
Nourmahal, bigger boat than the Namou'
M, does not eat up more than 100000.
She has not been in commission this season,

A singular story comes from the head OF
Panther Greek, stream of Northwestern
Colorado, with its course not many miles
rom the Nebraska line. One of the sources
If the creek is shallow, sedgy pond, from
which the water pours over miniature
precipiee some ten feet in height and five or
six in width.
The pond is the resort, in the season, of a
great many wild ducks, who feed ON the
sedgy plants growing ON its margins and its
shadowy bottom. Last year neighboring
ranchman noticed that ON disturbing these
waterfowl, in place of flying to distance
they circled about for n few minutes and
then dashed through the veil of water
formed by the falls coming from the pond.
Though good deal astonished, the ranch
man had then no time for investigation of
the singular circumstance, and not until a
short time ago did he follow the tracks OF
the ducks through the falling waters. Be
You'd slight ducking he experienced no in
convenience in passing behind the falls.
Once there and the way was clear. Open.
ing before him was q passage three feet in
width and of sufficient height to allow a
man to pass upright The walls of the
subter anean way were dripping with water
and undoubtedly passed directly beneath
the pond. He had not gone many yards
before the sound of great quacking fell
upon his ears. fastening his pace, he soon
came upon large cavern, in the centre Of
which was a lake. The surface of the lake
was thick with ducks. The waterfowl were
mostly mallard and teal though several
other varieties were represented.
On the approach of the intruder the
ducks arose in an immense cloud and dis
appeared through an opening beyond the
lake. Our adventurer followed them
and found another and similar lake
covered with wild ducks. Again the fowl
arose, and with frightened and clamorous
quacks thronged through another passage
way. Here the pursuer found the largest
lake of all and the end of the subterranean
water chain. The ducks now took the back
track, and he could hear the rush of their
wings and the sound of their harsh notes
growing fainter as they sought the safety Of
the outer air. Cheyenne Lead'r.

motion for new trial, which motion was
granted. The ease was called on Tues
day morning, and for nearly three days
the Court was occupied hearing cause
in which the plaintiffs claim was less
than five dollars. On Thursday after
noon the case was given the jury, who
retired, and on Friday evening rendered
a verdict of no cause of action, sustaining
the two former verdicts.
The two trials in the Common Pleas
occupied nearly five days, and we under
stand from the Clerk that they will cosS
the taxpayers upward of 5000. Il is said
that counsel for Mr.. Bloom has applied
for a certiorari to the Supreme Court
aud expects to set aside the verdict and
get new trial. Democrat Adeertiser.

SALARIES OF THE JUDGES In New

ry of 81, 500, and the Associated Justices

The methods that some people employ to
make living are peculiar. For instance,
there is one man in this city who makes a
comfortable living by supplying cats with
heir daily food. Almost every business
Office and wholesale store down town has
from one to four cats who are necessary for
the protection of the premises from the de-
predations of rats. These cats formerly
were fed by the porters OF Office boys, who
often neglected them, and as consequence
the advent of the cat man, as he is called,
was hailed with delight. Every morning,
soon after the stores are opened, a pale
faced, middle-aged little Austrian may be
seen wandering around California Front,
and adjacent streets carrying with him a
large can of milk and basket of meat. All
of the principal places are on the list. He
is so quiet in his work that his presence is
noticed by few others than his feline patrons,
who always greet him with every evidence
of recognition and pleasure. He speaks q
few words to the cats to quiet their outbursi
of welcome, then fills saucer full of milk,
leaves little meat close by, and proceeds
to the next customer. He is paid twenty
Ave cents week for feeding each cat, and
should there be litter of kittens the tax is
ten cents additional. The cat man is sharp,
AT times the cats will stray from their be.
longing and seek more congenial quarters.
When the purveyor comes around in the
morning and notices the absence of his Gus.
toner he Immediately starts on still hunt
for her, and the wanderer is generally found
and returned TO her proper home. However
If the cat cannot be found another is soor
substituted, and in this way his list of Gus
toners is not lessened. The cat man usel
about ten gallons of milk and fifty pounds
of meat each day, and has an assistant Il
help him. Several dogs are also provided
with meat.-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.
