studying Cumming" While gazing at the
cable it suddenly occurred to the precocious
lad that it would be prodlglous fun to
"hiteh" himself to the cable and gallop down
town. No sooner had the resolution been
made than the boy sailed forth from his par
ents' residence at S03 West Madison street
with BEDFORD. Fastening one end about
his middle he tied to the other end bit
of paper and dangled it into the cable
tunnel. Instantly his hopes were realized
and the cord twirled about the swiftly
moving cable. Then his mad~race began.
Like a yearling colt he galloped along,
pulled by the cable. AS the boy dashed
around curves and street corners sight-Seers
were awe-strcken at his mad flight. Scores
rushed for knives to cut the rope which
made the lad part of the cable system,
but ere they reached him he had left them
all several laps behind in the awful flight.
On he sailed. Some given to mirth yelled,
"Hey, there Henne," while the more
thoughtful asked him if he was hurt. AS
block after block was passed in rapid sue
cession chorus of screams went up the
high refrain being joined by the lad HIM
self, who had lost'all thought of scientific
inve stiga:iGn.
Finally Mr.. A. E. Allen rushed into the
street with a huge knife, and. after trotting
alongside the lad succeeded in hacking the
rope in two, allowing the exhausted boy to
fall into his arms. To the inquiries from
scores of people who asked him if he was
hurt he blurted out, nav. only to be
pulled" by a blue-coated copper, who,
however, was touched by pity and allowed
the lad TO 20 home. His dear mamma"
then led him to bed, and, after throwing
aside all the coverlets to allow her ample
leeway, she raised the BEDFORD, with which
he had made the thrilling cable trip, and
let fly without mercy. The stiffness of the
Sabbath afternoon was broken only by the
swish" of the cord and the indescribable
walls of the boy who loudly wished he had
been drawn to the land of which he
dreamed when pondering over his Sabbath
school lesson. His chastisement came
swift and ignominious and Knocked him in
his realization of a new found glory.

building.
While Officer Harris was standing on the
corner of Kearny and Pine streets, about
o'clock last night, he observed a very
bright light in u window on the second
story of building at $50 Pine street. The
light would blaze up and disappear, but
finally grew in intensity.
Officer Harris ran up the stairs of the
building and kicked in door leading to
the room where he had seen the fire. In
the meanwhile an alarm mad been rung in
from California and Kearny streets and
the chemical engine was early on the scene.
The room was filed with smoke and flames,
but in few minutes every spark was ex-
tingushed.
This section of the building is occupied
by NJ. L. Spiegle IL Co., manufacturers of
novelties. The flames did not reach any
of their stock, but were confined to the side
of the walls. No water was used and the
stock escaped damage from this source.

Places Yesterday.
Although the weather was rather warm
yesterday it did not deter the lovers Of the

TOUCHED THE HEART.

Music by n Blind Boy That Brought
Tears to Many Eyes.
An incident of peculiarly touching char
acter occurred in one of the elevated rail-
road trains that brought tears to the eyes
of the passengers. The train bad just left
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street when
the passengers saw entering the car little
boy about years old, being half pushed
and half carried by an older boy. evidently
his brother. At the first glance it was seen
that the LITTLE fellow was blind, and his eye
lids had almost grown together. He had a
pale, wan face, but was smiling. A quick
look of sympathy passed over the faces of
the passengers, and an old gray-haired gen.
tleman got up and gave his seat to he two
The big brother" who was about II years
old, tenderly lifted up the little blind boy
and placed him on his knee.
"How's that?" he asked.
Nice" said the little chap. where's
my 'monicaP"
This puzzled some of the passengers, and
several turned to see what the child meant.
But the "big brother" knew. and immedi-
ately drew out a small mouth harmonicon
and placed it in the little fellows hands.
Both boys were well dressed. The little
fellow took the instrument into his thin
hands, ran it across his lips and began TO
play softly NEARER, My God, to Thee"
Tears came into the eyes of the old gentle
man who had given up his seat, and as the
little played on, running into "Rock Of
Ages and abide With Me-" there were
many moist eyes in the car. The little
player seemed to have remarkably true
ear and occasionally, when the instrument
would rasp, he would turn sadly to his big
brother" and say, "Don't whistle"
The train rushed along, the passengers
listened and the little fellow played ON tire
lessly, never missing note from annie
Laurie" or "Home, Sweet Home" FINALLY
the ''big brother" leaned down and told tia
little one to get ready to leave, as the train
was approaching the station. Then, as if
he knew he had won whole carload of
friends, the blind boy quickly changed

Syne," and with one accord the passengers
burst into round of applause, while the

Franok for stat, Treasurer.

The sentiment OF the Republicans Is fast
becoming conferred on certain men for the
various places on the State ticket, and the
name of f. C. Franck of Santa Clara is
more often heard than any other in con-
nection with the nomination for State
Treasurer. There are some doubts as to
his willingness to accept. but there seems
to be little question of his being the nomi-
nee if lie desires it. He is a strong man all
over the State, and it is claimed that his
services to the party in the past are of such
a nature as to give him powerful claim to
recognition. He is 4 wealthy, shrewd busi-
ness man, and power in the politics OF
Santa Clara County. The south is solid for
him, and a large part of the delegation
from San Francisco as well as the northern
counties would be at his command.

The Nspa Man a Favorite for Lieu
tenant Governor.
Ex-senator Jordan of Alameda, now that
he has been knocked out in his own county,
may be regarded as out Of the race for the
Republican nomination for Lieutenant
Governor, and Frank l.. Coombs of Napa is
to the front as the most formidable candi-
date for that place. The south has no
aspirant so far as known, and it is reason
ably certain that such men as Chapman,
Morrow, Patterson. Shippee and Markham
would not accept second place CoOmbs
looks, therefore, like winner, and the
Markham men, if they succeed in placing
their man at the head of the ticket. will go
to him in a body. Jordan, however, it is
claimed was never in it, and Alameda will
probably be satisfied with the nomination
of Waite for Secretary of State. 1t is be-
lieved that he will have walk over IN the
contest, and it is predicted that he would
run ahead of his ticket, because OF the feel
ing which was excited in his favor by the
action of the President in withdra wing his
nomination for Appraiser through the in
huence of Judge Field.

AN AWFUL RACE.


A Child Lashed to Rapidly Moving
Cable.
Since the West Side cable system was
placed in operation there have been numer-
Gus attempts to fathom the secrets of its
rumbling, subterraneous mysteries, says
the Chicago Herald.
To the small boy the operations of the
intermittent cable-cars of Juggernaut have
been a constant puzzle. When the cars
were started the narrow slit between the
center rails was lined for blocks with
small boys, who dangled empty tomato
cans and almost all other desirable objects
from strings, while they gleefully watched
them. When the dangling objects were
caught by the endless block, rapidly
moving cable, and whirled heedlessly
along down into the heart of the city, a
general whoop would go up along the
entire line. Little " Hennie" Altenberg,
who has seen but six summers. lives on
Madison street, along which the subter-
ranean cable rumbles. The little fellow
some time ago left school and became the
recognized leader of crowd of companions,
who, like himself, steeled themselves by

What She Drinks and Why the Court Ply
stefan Recommended 1t.
The London World has been making an investga-
ton OF what the Queen drinks and has ascertained
defnately that upon the advice OF Sir william Jen
ner. she drinks whisky diluted in water. This Is
for the purpose of retaining her vlgor. renewing
her strength and proIongng her life, The whisky
her own Bamoral estate, and OF course is perfectly
pure. Thus the World offers a valuable suggestion
I'm this fact: England's sovereign drinks whisky
I'm der the recommendation of the court physician
and on account of Its medicinal properties and she
drinks it absolutely pure having 1t distilled upon
her own estate. These facts prove two things:
First. that all modern medical science demonstrates
the superior value of whisky for sustaining the
health and prolonging the life and second that 1t
must be absolutely pure The leading American
physicians and chemists have Endorsed these views
constantly aud emphasized the necessity of having
whisky that is absolutely pure The best medical
and chemical talent In America has shown conclu-
slyeIy that no whisky known in the market Is so
pure as Duffy's Malt. 1t is wholly free from fusil
OIL 1t is unlike other o-caed WHISTLES and it is
doing great things for the health of the community.
So true is this that while many temperance people
denounce whistles and liquors in general, they ac-
knowledge the superior merit OF Dufy's Malt and
use it incidentally continually. Great care should
be exercised, however, to secure no other, mat
ter how hard dealer may seek to seIly something
else. ,

POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
Republicans Casting About for
Available Men.
Ccombs Of Napa in the Lead for Second Place
The Pond-Coeman Fight in Los An
gelss-White's Campaign.

Walter S. Moore of Los Angeles, who is
in the city in the interests of Colonel Mark
ham, insists that the vote of Los Angeles
County will be given to Coleman in the con-
vention at San Jose. He urges that the
herents of Pond in that county are unwar-
ranted by facts and that the result of the
first ballot will show the truth of this.
While this may be the sentiment of the
politicians it is evidently not that of the
voters at large. as is shown by letter of
recent date from a Democrat to the editor
of the Los Angeles Herald. He says:
have personally interviewed 564 Democrats
IN this city since Monday as 10 their preferences
for Governor and have found the following re-
suit: Pond 3S7. Coleman 1875. English Is, Berry
g. Del Vale 8, White 4, the nominee Is.
This would seem to be proof conclusive
that "Buckley's young man" is not such
universal favorite with the people of the
south as his subsidized followers would
make out. 1t looks just now. in fact as if
Coleman would have to depend for his
strength largely upon the efforts of his
friend Buckley, who is understood to have
promised him the greater part of the San
Francisco delegation on the opening ballots.
This would give him a certain show of
strength, but would, also, it is safe to as
sumo, solidify the country delegations
against him, because of the opposition to
ANYTHING that savors Of Buckleyism.
A prominent Democrat, in discussing the
situation yesterday, said: Il am in a posi-
ton to ascertain the sentiment of the coun-
try on this question, and [ can say posi-
lively that Pond is the general favorite. In
the last three weeks l have interviewed
prominent men, merchants and lawyers as
well as politicians, from as many as half of
the counties of the State, and in nearly
every instance l have found that Pond was
the strongest man. The almost universal
reply to my interrogations would be:
well, you understand, of course, that we
have local candidate, but Pond is our sec
ond choice By this l am convinced that
he is by long odds the favorite, and l regard
his nomination as foregone conclusion"

Unwise One
Senator Yell of Mendocino says that the
Democrats of Northern California will re-
sent most emphatically any attempt on the
part of the adherents OF Stephen NJ. White
to secure for the latter the Endorsement of
the State Convention for United States
Senator, and that if such an effort is made
it will convert this convention into small
sized circus.

timber in the Democratic party, and for one
man to attempt to force himself on the
party is a little more than the members of
1t will tolerate Besides no one would be
bound by the Endorsement, and members Of
the Legislature would still be free to vote
as they pleased. If Mr.. White is wise he

By the $50 O'Clock boat from Sausalito
last evening there arrived two well-dressed
and seemingly respectable women. about %
years of age, who were greatly under the
influence of liquor. After wandering about
the ferry landing for some time they went
across East street to saloon and had sew
eral drinks. Then they returned to the
ferry followed by large mob, who were
amused ut their antics. Sergeant Kay-
anagh arrested them and locked them up
at the North Harbor Station for being
drunk. They gave the names of Mary

said to be married woman from San
