You can't imagine the amount OF
extra work we do for our regular
guests, remarked Clerk Wiley at the
Grand Pacific last night, as be finish
ed charging a hungry looking man
with an extra meal. I'VE receive
telegra.ns from customers journeying
from east TO west and vice versa 10
buy them all sorts of things and do all
sorts Of queer errands Any like com
munication received from a guest OF
the house always receives our best at
teniion. We came near Disappointing
a man last night, though. Just look
at this telegram:
Have young, cunning Skye ter
rier at hotel tonight; will pass
through city.
The signature was unknown to
me, and ] But the message one side.
After a while | picked il up and
thought il joke from some mellow
travelling man.
Then decided I'd have the dog,
but tell no one about il in case il turn
ed out a game. sent boy TO a dog
fancier and he brought back some
kind OF purp. He had just entered
the hotel as an ex-governor from
Montana arrived and asked if l got
his dog.
1T seemed he had promised his lit
tie girl TO bring home such pet, but
the errand had slipped his mind till
yithin few hundred miles Of this city.
SO he telegraphed us Theoperaior had
caught the name wrong, and that's
what bothered me.
Our luck in getting the dog saved
the politician quite a few Montana
dollars. because several bottles oi
champagne were wagered on the
chances Of having his terrier at the
hotel when he came.
so you never thought hotel clerks
had TO supply dogs for guestsi Why
expect some one will wire us 10 ge
a divorce for him aud have it dowI
to the train when he passes through.

They Go Together.

Commenting upon the scarcity OF
tramps In the city, Sheriff Tom said
said yesterday: II have always
noticed that the ducks and trainps 60
together. Somehow, and i don't
why 1t is, but they strike this country
about the same time certain: All
along we've had tramps; we've had
ducks also; the river Is clear of ducks
within the last two days and within
that time the town has been quite
clear Of trsmps. BY and by you'll
see them come back again; when you
hear the qusck Of the duck on the
river, look out for the track Of the
tramp in your back yard. l don't
know what relation they have t'wards
one another, but Sc far rs this place !,
concerned, they range along together

Dear ane Jsiler Jack got a couple Of

hole around the aetesian well pipe
about three feet deep and wide enough
In circumference to make pool; then
they selected the prisoner who was a
mason, and he piled bis art and

building up the side with stone.
Toward evening quite respectable
basin was made. They are going to
put gravel ou the bottom. then cut of
the well pipe and put an from twin
baby umbrella ornament over il.
which il also sprinkler, so that the
court yard will have a pool and q
fountain. This will OF course not in
terfere with the application Of the
hose TO the pipe or the Use OF tn,

improvement in the pleasant appear
ance Of the yard, and one that will b,

This is the portrait that Nj. Mariani

old age had a great desire 10 meet the
Marquise dc Vilette, one OF the many
flames Of his youth. The lady had
survived her beauty and did not caro-
for the interview. Voltaire was
piqued, and wrote first a rather insult
ing quatrain ON the refusal, which he
followed up by sending a portrait Of
himself as the court beauty may have
remembered him when they were
both young. Indeed, for the purpose,
he took il away from his adopted
daughter, 10 whom he had presented
il fifty years before. The lady retain

Of the bodies being recovered. Identi-

The state board of health still issues

HEALTH TOPICS.
The Sanitary Condition of the state Most
Csratifvior

The Sanitary Condition OF the state Most
Gratifying.
DR.. G. G. Tvrrell, Secretary of the State
Board Of Health, has issued his report for
the month Of April. The report is fall of
information regarding the health conditions
of the various counties. The Secretary
says: Reports received from seventv-two
different localities, with an estimated popu-
lation of 701 $50, give q mortality Of s35.
which Is q percentage of l is per ], 900 in
the month, or an annual mortality of Il 16
which is the lowest annual percentage al
which we have yet arrived, indicating
remarkably good condition of the public
health throughout the State.
Reports of sickness received from
eighty different localities indicate a mini
mum amount of disease in the various
towns heard from, many of the towns re-
porting no sickness whatever. These init
| nations OF an absence of anv prevailing
| disease at this season of the year is crafty
| ing to the sanitarian as an Indication OF the
| progress that sanitary science is making in
| the State; we believe that it is rapidly be-
coming p settled conviction in the public
mind that without cieanly homes and sur
roundings good health cannot be main
taIDed. With the advent of the new law
compelling the organization of Board of
Health or the appointment of Health
Officer in every town of 500or more inhab-
itants, we expect sanitary movement
throughout the State that will nor permit
any town 10 abide in filth and take lis
chances of Providence averting an epidemic
that its own insanitsry condition has in
vited. Through these officers we hope to
find many diseases entirely prevented from
passing beyond their original place of de-
velopment, and no disease allowed to attain
to any epidemic proportions if sanitation
can prevent il ,,

OUTLOOK FOR HOPS.
Crops Far Advanced-The Coast Soon t
Supply the yYorId

Crops Far Advanced-The Coast Soon TO
supply the World.
Emmett Wells weekly Hop Circular of
New York, states that the latest reports
from all the hop-growing districts agree in
stating that crops are far advanced and do
ing well. The highest price quoted is 20
cents for choice States. Says Wells:
During our long experience in the bus
mess we never knew or heard Of q season
which gives so much early promise as this
of large yield. The roofs have wintered
remarkably well, and open up strong and
healthy. The usual cry of hard winter
on roots and freezing out has not been
heard. Vegetation in this State is said to
be fully two weeks in advance of last
spring, and the vine is already beginning
to look for the poles. On the Pacific coast
it has already reached halfway up the
poles and in the more favored districts is
climbing at the rate of twelve inches in
twenty-four hours.
With favorable growing season and
no vermin, New York State will produce a
fine large crop of hops TO be spoiled only
as usual by careless picking in September.
Ii the Pacific coast growers can find pickers
enough to gather their crop, it will not be
many years before they will be able to
supply the world with hoDs-provided,
however, that their plantations continue as
free from insect pests as they always have
been.n

a Vessel On Fire Ia said-ocean a Brave
C2ptaip and Grew

PLYMOUTH, May 12th.-The steamer Rugia
from New York May I'd for Hamburg which ar
rived to-day, reports that the cotton in her after
hold spontaneously ignited on the night of the
Sth inst, the fire burning fiercely but was
quenched after five anxious hours, during
which time everything had been got in readi-
ness to abandon the steamer. Great fright pre-
vailed among the passengers, who remained on
deck for forty eight hours. Through the efforts
to Guench the fire the cabins were flooded and
two-thirds of the passengers baggage was
ruined. Two of the crew were injured, snd it
is feared the steamers cargo is greatly dam
aged.
PLYMOUTH, May 12th.-After the fire had
gained considerable headway some of those ON
board made preparations TO desert the ship, but
were prevented from doing so by the Captain
who threatened them with his revolver when
the iron bulkhead doors We're opened the heat
became so intense that many persons were.
scorched. and the cotton bs les around the pas
sengers' baggage took fire. Casks of lard, which
formed part of the vessels cargo, also furnished
fuel for the flames.
Hope had been well nigh abandoned and the
boats had been lowered TO leave the threatened
steamer, when il occurred to the Captain to turn
steam instead of water against the fire. This
plan was put into execution and proved sue
eessful. The passengers have presented the
Captain with an address, and the crew with
various gifts, as evidences of their gratitude
and esteem for their good work in the midst of
the awful dangers which encompassed them all
