Miss Cyrena Alice Boyd. young lady
nged 10 years, whose parents reside in
Yolo County, died the other day under
peculiar circumstances, says the San
Francisco Examiner. A few weeks ago
she was visiting friends in San Francisco,
and while there had her ears pierced.
She was very particular to urge that
white silk be inserted in the puncture,
but the thread finally used contained
some coloring matter.
A dny or 30 after the operation Miss
Boyd returned to her parents home in
folo. Within few days she experienced
soreness about the ears. but did not re-
gard tho matter as of much consequence
One day she and her sister happened to
be Out in q shower. and Miss Boyd took
cold. The effect of tho exposure began
to manifest itself in her ears, already
swollen and sore.
Then she became alarmed, and, upon
her fathers advice, she came to this city
to secure medical attention. Her ears
swelled rapidly. the swelling extended
to her face, and finally one of her eyes
was closed completely.
Erysipe!as set in, blood poisoning fol-
lowed, and then it was evident that her
life was beyond the power of saving. A
consultation of doctors was ordered, but
death came about 4.30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon

WISELY DENIED.

Gov. DAVID B. HILL has refused his
signature to half dozen rotten bills
which. through lack Of that vitalizing
autograph, have quietly given up the
ghost.
The iniquity Of these bills has been
abundantly commented upon by THE
WoRLD, and every citizen whose eve is
purged enough TO look TO good city gov
ernment and pure legislation will breathe
sigh of relief at seeing these bills 60 to
the wall.
Gov. HILL was subjected to a great
pressure, political and personal, TO obtain
his signature to these unworthy bills. He
has withstood it. and It is to his credit.
The Cable Bill, which sought to give q
ring control of seventy miles of thestreets
of New York. was one of the worst of these
bills. Another gave undue preference to
the claims of the greedy Aqueduct con-
tractors. The surface railway percent
ages and the Harlem River Bridgelwith its
raised approaches were others.
II is comforting 10 know that they were
buried yesterday. No flowers.

THE HELPING HAND.

There Is picture Of an old man pulling
at an oar while his little granddaughter
has her small hand resting on 1t, under
the impression that she is helping to make
the boat 60.
Everybody who contributes to the Free
Doctors Fund for the Sick Children
knows that he is lending real helping
hand to worthy cause. Your modest
donation to the fund may mean little
life saved, and 1t will certainly mean
comfort aud relief from suffering for n
poor sick child, and perhaps several of
them.
When II is question Of securing such
good as this by 30 very moderate an ex-
penditure, how can warm-hearted men
and women hesitate?
Send in some small sum for tho chill
dren. It will bring you good returns.
and you will enjoy your own Summer
better for knowing that you have light
ened the burden of suffering humanity.

HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED.
An English Drummer who Never
Failed to Get an order.

Many are the stories still told by COM
mercial travellers about the determination
of George Moore, the famous English
drummer, TO get orders, says the Ciothier
and Funisher. He would not he denied,
says Samuel Smiles. II refused at first
he resorted to all sorts of expedients until
he succeeded.
On one occasion he sold his clothes off
his back TO get nn order. A tenacious
draper in Lancashire house refused to
deal with him,
The draper was quite satisfied with the
firm that supplied him, and he would
make NJ change. This became known
among the commercial travellers Mt the
hotel, aud one of them made bet of Is
with George Moore that he would not
obtain al order.
George set out again. The clother saw
him entering the shop aud cried out
All full all full, Mr.. Moore told
you SO beforel"
Never mind" said George; "you
won't object TO q crack"
Oh, no. said the draper.
They cracked about many things, and
then George Moore, calling the drnper's
attention to new coat he wore, asked
what he thought of ii.
'' It's capital coat" said the draper.
Yes, first rate; mado in the best style
by q first-rate London tailor"
The draper looked at 1t again and again
admired it.
Why" said George, You are exactly
my size it's quite new. I'll hell 1t to
you"

" Twenty Ave shillngs."
Whatr That's very cheap"
- Yes; it's great bargain"
- Then I'll buy it," sad the draper.
George went back to his hotel. donned
another suit and sent tho great bargain"
to the draper. George calling again, the
draper offered to pay him.
No, no." said George, " I'll book it;
you've opened an account ~
MIR. Moore had sold the coat nt q loss,
but he was .recouped by the fve-pound
bet which he won, and he obtained ON
order besides. The draper afterwards be-
came one of his best customers. Il
