ABUSING VETERANS.

Needs an OyerbauIin.

Needs an OverhauIing.
Los ANGELES, September 12th.-The
Tribune tomorrow publishes an extended
account of cruelty and outrage inflicted
upon veterans, at the Santa Monica Sol
diers' Home.
The charges cover the ground of brutal
treatment at the hands of Governor
Treichel and the policemen, who compel
the veterans to perform menial offices,
after forcing them from home, and after
taking all their effects including even their
clothing and shoes.
The meat furnished consists largely of
offal from butcher shops. If complaint is
made the complainant is put in the guard
house or thrown out. Sick men are forced
to work or are locked up.
Governor Treichel refuses to allow the
flag to fly over the home upon any occa-
sion, calling it nonsensical custom. He
abuses the Grand Army of the Republic
upon all occasions.
Ex-Congressman H. II. Markham, Resi-
dent Director, knows of these things and
is now on the way to meet the Soldiers
Home Board at Dayton, Ohio, where he
will lay the matter before them and ask
for Treickels dismissal
Other officials are afraid to interpose in
behalf of the veterans for fear of personal
injury.

drug clerk named Eugene Clark, whose
name was telegraphed as being Florence
Cross, has been identified as being Florence

OF dissipation had been very handsome
woman.
Some years ago she married DIR. Tills-
burg, veterinary surgeon at The Dalles,
by whom she had one child. After her
husbands death she came to Portland, and
went to the bad.
Latterly her associates were of the very
lowest, consorting with negroes, and she
was frequently in the Police Court cbarged
with drunkenness, bat despite her fallen
condition on such occasions she would vet
exhibit slight tinge of shame.

BERLIN, September 12th.-Dr. Fricks
who accompanied General Gordon to
Khartoum and remained with him until
his death, says Gordon had unlimited con.
fidence in himself, and must have misled
the British as to his critical situation.
Gordon's character, he says, was obsti-
nate as it was noble. His blindnes to dan
ger and his deafness to the warnings of his
friends caused his death.
If he had so desired he might have
escaped two days before the fall of Khar-
toum with all the Europeans in the place.
He was speared by his own soldiers when
he came to inspect them.

Fishes Built for Speed.
From London Public Opinion

from London fttbttc opinion.
The speed of fishes is almost an unknown
quantity, it being, as Prof. G. Brown Goode
says, very difficult to measure If, says the
professor, you could get fish and put in
trough of water 200 feet long and start it
at one end and make it swim TO the other
without stopping, the information could be
easily obtained; but fish are unintelligent,
and will not do this. Estimates of the
speed of fish are consequently only approx
mated, and more or less founded upon
guessing. One can tell, however, at a
glance. whether fish is built for speed or
not. A fast fish looks trim and pointed,
like yacht. Its head is conical in shape
a knife blade into its handle. Fish with
and with short, stubby fins, are
built for slow motion. The predatory
fishes, those that live on prey, are the
fastest swimmers. The food fishes are, as
general thing, the slowest, and consequently
easily captured. Their loss is recompensed,
however, by the natural law which makes
them very prolific in reproduction. Dol
phins have been known to swim around an
ocean steamer, and it is quite safe to say
that their speed is twenty miles an hour
but it may be twice as much. The bonito
is fast swimming fish; but just what it's
speed is is unknown. The head of the goose
fish is very large-twenty time as big as it's
body. 1t moves about very little, and
swims at the bottom of the ocean, The
Spanish mackerel is one of the fastest of
food fishes. Its body is cone shaped aud is
as smooth as FURNISHED metal Its speed is
rs matches as that of the dolphin, and, in
motion, it cuts water like yacht.
