A gentleman who has Just returned
from q six months residence in Lon
don, where he spent much of his time
among the literary men, has some in
teresting gossip to tell concerning one
or two of the novelists which will
bear repeating. Speaking of David
Christie Murray, the author of ''Val
Strange" Joseph's Coat, p" end number
less other stories, he said: Murray is
one of the most interesting men in Lon
don. He has had the hardest of work
to attain his present position. From
boyhood he has made his way unaided
and like many other writers of fiction
he came upfrom newspaper work, and
his early journalistic training has
been of inestimable value to him.
After working for u long time on The
Birmingham News, he resolved to see
London, and arrived in the city with
but little to keep body and soul to-
gether. While casting about forsome
road to fortune he wrote an article on
''Impecunious London" which was
printed in one of the weeklies and
served to open n new field of work TO
him. The paper, it need hardly be
said, was founded upon his own expe-
r~iences, and its success encouraged
him later TO set out on an extended
tour as an amateur tramp. To put it
out Of his power to enjoy creature
comforts he mailed a bank note to the
care of a post office nearly 100 miles
away and started to walk to it. He
had not a penny to buy lodging or
food, he stopped at many of the poor
house hotels which lay on his path,
worked a bit when nothing else would
C food in true tramp style, and,
arriving at the longed for postofIice,
secured his money and reveled In lux
urious comforts. He is a member Of
the Savage club, London, and one of
its shining lights, philadelphia

w. A. Sanders thus expresses him
self in defense of n tree upon which
there has of late been a disposition to
open warfare: II have moro of these
trees (eucalyptus) growing than can
be found anywhere else in the San
joaquin valley-great monsters 100
feet tall, containing over a cord of
wood each, grown from seed in the
past ten years. You can see my euca-
lyptus groves from the cars of the
Southern Pacific railroad from Goshen
to Fowler, a distance of over twenty
miles. l wish to add a fact to your
recommendation of this tree-a fact too
important to be overlooked. The euca-
lyptus globulus, when grown in large
quantities, gives entire exemption
from mosquitoes. Here at my home
we have acres of dense shade, q big,
sluggish ditch that is always full Of
water, and in all of our prolonged
summer and autumn heat never a
mosquito, while among the willows of
Kings river, two miles away, they
swarm at times in clouds and literally
deyour their unprotected victims" u

In proportion TO the skill and labor
involved in its preparation, the Ian
tern slide confers greater pleasure
upon the amateur photographer than
is embodied in any product Of the
camera and dark oom 1t and its
counterpart, the transparency, are
sources Of an enjoyment in which
profit TO the artistic sense forms n very
large percentage. The manipulation
of the lantern slide calls for simpler
processes than is the case with the
negative destined for the making of
prints, and these processes can be car
ried on successfully with less care as
TO the light employed. The slide is
prominently calculated TO give salts
faction 10 the amateur whose home APP
~pliances for developing are not Of the
best Once made and ready for the
lantern, the slide is an epitome of
prints. The flood of light poured
through its translucent glass and the
image thereon becomes, upon the
screen, n life size picture, possessed of
n fidelity and clearness Of detail that a
Meissonier could hardly hope to equal.
In this form the slide appeals TO the
eye with a potency no print can pos
sess, and stands next to natures self
in reproducing the beauties of n land
scape, the charm and majesty of the
ocean, the subtle power of architecture
and of sculpture, OF the portraits of
men and women loved and esteemed
by their fellows, or of childish beauty
caught ~unerringly by the instantan-
ecu process.
There is no end to the variety of
charm possessed by this form of photo
graphic art, and the rapid increase of
interest among amateurs, in this direc-
ton, must make the lantern slide a
dominant feature in the art. The es-
tablishment of the international ex-
change for the encouragement of Ian
tern slide exhibitions, vastly widens
the scope of this adjunct to amateur
photography. The portability of the
slide renders il available in this direc-
ton. a hundred slides can be sent
half way around the globe, TO show
forth, at the distant point, the scenes
familiar to the eyes of the senders, yet
80 novel and interesting to the recipi-
ents. The dweller in Calcutta can
look upon a life size portrayal Of the
most interesting establishments of
Pittsburg, and episodes of social life
in the East End can be laid before the
membess of an amateur society in
Paris, or Berlin, or Vienna.-Pitts-
burg Bulletin.

In an uptown church last Sunday
evening, when the pastor had got web
into his sermon, he noticed an unusual
commotion among the choir, at his
right. He tried TO ignore it, but the
trouble became SO lively that he felt
it his duty to rebuke the singers in q
loud voice. The disturbance finally
quieted down and the services proceed,
cd with due dignity. A member OF
the choir managed to communicate to
the much put out pastor the cause OF
the uneasiness before the services were
concluded 1t was q mouse-only a
little mouse. But with the pervelsity
OF its kind, this little mouse had man
aged to get under the skirts of one of
the ladies. The good pastor forthwith
explained to the congregation that the
trouble had been unavoidable-that
nc blame attached to the choir. -Buf-

WASHINGTON. March 1l.-Mr. Beck sp-
peared In the Senate chamber this morning
and took the oath OF Office before entering on
his third senatorial term. He was welcomed
most warmly by his brother senators and by
the officers and employees OF the Senate.
His general appearance gave little or no inul-
cation OF recent illness. For over a quarter
OF an hour there was no movement made to
proceed to any kind OF business, and then a
recess was taken until bai-psst l O'Clock,
presumably to await the presentation OF ex-
ecutiye nominations.
On Resembling at l:30 O'Clock nuneer
of nominations were received from the Presi.
dent and the Senate went Immediately into
executive session to consider them.
At lao o'clock the doors were reopehed
and the Senate adjourned.
In executive session the nominations were
ordered referred to appropriate committees
when formed. There was some surprise eX-
pressed at the failure TO confirm ex-senator
Palmer's nomination al once, but the Senator
explained that the rule OF immediate con-
firmatiops, save Of the Cabinet, was confined
TO senators. Mr. Palmer Is not now sena-
tor, and while every senator, it IS said, want
ed TO vote for him, 1t was deemed best not TO
depart from the rule, ana his nomination
went with the rest.
The nomination OF Dir. Tichcnor as As
sistant Secretary OF the Treasury was not
asked by the Illinois delegation, and they
rather OBJECT 10 his being charged up as a
part OF that States quota OF offices. secre-
tary Window told one OF the congressman
from that state that Tichenor's appoir tment
was his own and should not be charged to
any particular State. Tlchenor's fitness for
the position Is conceded by all.

A ssrssyman HAS an Exetsiss and
RerfIaus Hf0A.

A Newark special says: Silas Morton, OF
Kinrsland, was driving bull down wash
,ngton svenue late yesterday Afternoon,
wnen n dog ran out and bit Me animal on
the hi1d lex. The animal at once became
enraged, and rushing AT Morton, caught MIN
on his horns aud threw him over his head.
Morton landed on the bulls back, aud fear
ing second attack, determined to stsy
where he was until assistance srrived,
40 he IAy fiat aud held on TO the snimsPs
horns. But the bull only became madden,
and with the dog still ut his heels ran toward
tue river. When the Erie railroad was
reached the bull took the roadbed aud tore
up the track st = bresk-neck speed. Morton
did not dare Jump oil, although bis limbs
were repeatedly dashed against The telegraph
poles that lined the track. The bull then
made for the railroad bridge.
Morton determined 10 dropf itkllled bin.
Before he had chance. however, the animal
LEFT the track, climbed the bank, and. reach
ing washington avenue, made dash Tor an
opening Ia shed. Morton was too fcight.
ened TO drop, aud hung on while the buil
ran down the river bank ana plunged into
the wster. There Morton fell OF In dead
faint and was rescued. Ills clothes were
torn to ribbons aud his flesh was terribly
lacersied. He will recover. however.
