The Finest Country House i'm America.
 From San Francisco Letter.

LETom a San EranCfScO Letter.
 Almost every American has heard of J, 0. | Flood, the California millionaire, but very few are aware of the fact that MT. Flood is the owner of the most magnificent country house and grounds in North America This estate is at Meplo Park, near San Francisco, and during MT. Floods illness is closed to tourists. The Gossiper was privileged wis., itor and can therefore picture the scenes de- l nied to others this season. The estate covers | one thousand acres and is under the charge of landscape gardener and one hundred and twenty assistants. The drives are seve- l ral miles in length and are made of white gravel kept spotlessly clean The foliage, shrubbery and flowers are beyond descrip- | tion. Everything is "symphony in white | and gold" The porter's lodge is beautiful cottage near the only entrance to the grounds and the great gates are white and gold. The grounds are lighted by hundreds of gas lamps with ground glass shades, the gas being made on the place. Statuary of the most chaste and eloquent design and of exquisite work manship gives 8 finish to the velyet-like lawns and closely trimmed hedges. But the house is the main attraction. It is built in a style of architecture that might be termed French, although not decidedly of that school. It is dazzling white, the roofs are of black slate in~ patterns and the decorations are all in gold. Even the inside blinds and
 the furnishings are white and gold, and this effect has been preserved in the fnishings of
 the servants quarters, the superb stable and all the buildings on the premises The house stands on an eminence and overlooks one of the most beautiful lawns that art could produce. Fountains plash on every side; terrace of ivy and flowers hens in { the eastern view, while bank of violets and | wall of roses temper the force of the ocean | breezes and perfume them. The perfect cre- l ation of an artistic mind, with all the neces- | sary funds to maintain it in it's perfection. | Flood's palace stands unrivalled in America, l g typical home of self-made millionaire.

A Mule That Defied Arrest.


 Sunday evening James Smith, & cowboy from Mason Valley, arrived in town on the hurricane deck of sad eyed mule and was amusing crowd on street by causing the animal to perform numerous tricks. Chief of Police Henderson appeared on the scene and ordered Smith to move on with his mule and be p. d. q. about it too, or he would ar rest both him and the mule. Smith ex- pressed doubt of the chiefs ability to take the mule into custody. The officer ap- preached the mild-eyed mule and reached for the b1idle-rein. It's owner quietly re- marked, "Butt him over,' Ned" The next instant the chief lay on the broad of his back in the middle of the street from pile driver butt from the mules head. He scrambled to his feet and made another at l tempt, with like result, and before he re- gained his feet the second time the mule and | his rider were fleeing southward with the speed of the wind. Later in the afternoon l Smith is said to have pulled pistol on the Divide Officer Sullivan attempted to arrest I him, but he merely said: ssShow 'em your | heels, Ned,n when the mules hind legs in stantly began describing eccentric circles in the air, which sent everybody flying from the vicinity to avoid being kicked to death. Smith was finally captured after he had dis mounted from his trained mule and locked up on charge of disturbing the peace. ! This morning he was released from custody by order of Justice Kehoe.

SOME FACTS.


 There is factory in North Grafton, Mas sachusetts, where linen thread is made. The business was established there about eight years ago by Scotch firm. A reporter of the Boston Record has lately visited the fac~ tory and obtained some interesting informa- tion. MT. Finlayson, the head of the firm, explained that they came here because of the tariff, and if,the duty were removed. from threads such as they make the market would be swamped with the product of the Scotch mills and it wouldn't pay to run the mill here. When asked if he was free trader Mir. Finlayson said: 1T am at home. Free trade is best for Great Britain, but protec- tion is the policy for America. The wages paid at the Grafton mills. he says, are from two to two and a half times as much as those paid in Scotland and average two and quarter times as much. James Kennedy, a stout, honest-faced lad of fifteen or there- about, who had come from Scotland only a few weeks ago, was called up and in answer to inquiries said that he had earned S1.SO a week in the Scotch mills and $5 ia week here, which is just equal to a full mans salary in the old country. His father worked in a foundry in Scotland for s. S4 week; he is now earning S1. 50 day laborer on the railroad, and says he worked harder in the foundry ''If you should decide for frse trade in this country" said Mir. Finlayson, s'we should have to close our mill here or re- duce wages We couldn't exist otherwise. Wages would have to come down." He said also: "The surroundings of the workmen over there are mElch inferior to those here. The employees live better and dress better here. The working class here live more like the shopkeeping class at home"
 This is plain statement of facts, and it is worth any amount of plausible free trade theorizinR

YESTERDAYS CONVENTION.

The Republican convention which met yes- terday at the Hyperion did it's work well. A better set of delegates to Chicago could hard ly have been selected. They are fully able to give Connecticut all the weight she is en- titled to in the convention and can be depend ed on to act for the best interest of the coun- try and their party. The resolutions adopt ed are not as long as such resolutions usually have been, but they are none the worse for that They are hearty and pointed and well represent Republican sentiment, especially that one which pledges support to all wise legislation calculated to protect American in- dustries in the possession of American mar kets; to protect American workmen in the earnings of American markets; to protect the American citizens in their homes and all their rights; and to protect, cherish and uplift American manhood.
 A notable feature of the convention was the enthusiasm which prevailed and which gives promise of victory on election day. The Democratic papers of this city did their best last evening to show that there was a lack of harmony, but as time goes on they will be troubled because there is too much and toe effective harmony in the Republican ranks

The prices previous to this date were from $2.5o to $3 each. The backwardness of the season has injured the Parasol trade. Man ufacturers have accumulated stock, and as they must sell them this month prices have been broken. Just examine this lot. Also special bargains in finer goods.
