THE EARTHQUAKE.
A Severe Shock Felt Throughout
Southern California;

Southern California;
POMONA, February Especial. ]-One
of the most severe shocks Of earthquake
ever felt in this city occurred shortly
after O'Clock this morning. The vibra-

people from their sleep. but the diaturb-

was done, but one of the largest brick
blocks in the town occupied by a bank, was
badly shaken and it is feared it may
crack and settle. Communications by
wire from all of the towns on the limo Of

shock was felt with equal severity in
each, as far as the Colorado river.

Dealings in Live AlIigators.

The demand for full-grown alliga-
tors for Northern museums and aquar-
iums begins with the warm days of the
spring, and many an alligator's retreat
has been carefully marked by the ALI
gator catcher, who, when the signs are
ripe, will dig the saurians out and sell
them at from 81 to 81 per foot, accord
ing to the length of the animals. The
negroes loop ropes around the big alll-
gators and drag them out in triumph.
Mr.. Gugie Bourquin, who is an au-
thoritv in such matters, says that he
has known $25 to be offered for
twelve-foot alligator. The colored
men on his place have two big fellows
:holed," and when the weather is
u,r,ner they will be dug out. He
,r;,"as the negroes the alligators, and
S 81 o.;o him all the terrapins found
in the holes.
Queeriy enough, the alligator and
the terrapin live in the same domicile
and upon terms Of the utmost harmony.
This may be due to the fact that the
swallowing capacity of the alligator is
not equal to the occasion, as only small
particles can be swallowed by the saur-
ians the guIlet being disproportioned
to the anatomy of an alligator's mouth,
as result of which, when the alligator
kills such animals as dogs and hogs, it
is said they guard their prey until de-
composition sets in, SO that the food
may be in such condition as to make
deglutition easy.
The alligators are said to be getting
fewer in the waters of this section, as
they are continually being hunted and
killed from the time they come out I'M
til they lay up again for the winter.
Hundreds of them are shot for the
mere sport of shooting, and no effort is
made to find them after they are shot.
1t is only in unfreauented streams and
along marshes and impenetrable
swamps where they are now numerous.

Viscount Hampden in Trade.

The appearance of Viscount Hamp-
den as retail dealer in provisions has
found an apologist in the Sussex Datly
Neacs. Our excellent contemporary
will not allow that the eX-speaker is
actuated by any low consideration of
profit in vending his butter and his
eggs, his poultry and his pork. He is
merely setting an example to local
agriculturists by himself CARRYING on a
dairy farm on business principles, and
the writer would like to see in other
people more of the spirit of practical
help and guidance displayed by Wis
count Hampden.n This is all very well,
but 1t does not seem TO me that the
lord-lieutenant of Sussex is giving
much ''help" to local agriculturists by
competing with them in the sale of
their staple produce. The spirit of
snobbishness is widespread, and there
are doubtless many who would sooner
buy their butter from live lord,
especially when, as in the present case,
each pat is marked with a coronet and
a capital Ii, than they would from the
'1ocal agriculturists," who have to
content themselves by imprinting their
produce with rose or COW. In
Lord Hampden's trade circulars we
already find Our Weekly Hamper"
advertised as feature, and we may
doubtless expect before long announce
ments of Brands butter is best"
Excellent eggs from Hampden's

ers to aid the lord-lieutenaut of Sussex
in his pursuit of the nimble ninepence.

A Buddhist Marriage,

A missionary describes marriage
ceremony which he witnessed in the
palace of the governor of Cambodia, as
follows:
Il was ushered, amid tremendous
din of gongs, into large room beyond
the reception hall, where were seated
the governor and about hundred no.
blemen and invited guests. The BRIDE
groom, a young man about twenty
years of age, elegantly attired in silk
garments, was also there.
by the time we foreigners were
seated, procession-headed by the
bride, supported on either side by de-
mure-looking matrons, composed prin-
cipally of aged or married women. all
elegantly attired-entered and slowly
marched toward the governor.
The bride was not particularly inter-
esting as regards personal charms; she
was young, however, and dressed rich
ly and in good taste. Beside her silk
dress she wore a gold-embroidered
rings upon her fingers, bracelets upon
her wrists and armlets above the
elbows.
The bride took up her position near
the bridegroom, both sitting upon the
floor, but not looking toward each 9TH
er; in fact, throughout the entire cere-
mony they both were perfectly impas-
sive and nonchalant.
The marriage ceremony proper now
began. A number of wax candles were
brought in salver, and then lighted
bv one of the mobiles. The silver wait
er was then passed round before the
company eight times, each one in turn
saluting the couple and wishing them
good fortune by waving or blowing the
smoke toward them, thus expressing
something like the old English custom
of throwing the slipper after newly
married couple-the band of string in
struments playing the mean while.
Two large velvet cushions having been
previously placed before the the bride
and bridegroom, and upon them a
large sword. the leader of the theatre
Gals now came forward and went
through, for few moments, Il most
fantast1cal sword exercise. Dishes had
been placed before the couple upo.: the
floor, with covers upon them. Moth
ing, however, was eaten.
Next the hands of the expectant
couple were bound together, and to
each other, with silken threads, by the
women attendants, probably some near
relatives. Thus were they truly joined
in buddhist wedlock. And this COM
pleted the simple, yet effective, cere-
mOny.

A Change of Venue.

The Duluth (Minn.) Herald reports
a laughable incident as occurring in a
Justices court in the backwoods ofthat
section. Court was held in a lumber
mans shack, in the hunks of which
number of wOodsmen were reposing,
interested spectators of the proceed
ings. The judge was young man of
mild aspect, with red hair and mus
tache, who nervously arranged matters
for the trial. There were no attorneys,
both plaintiff and defendant acting for
themselves. After painful silence
the defendant arose. He was minus
coat and vest, being attired in gaily
fringed and ornamented buckskin shirt
and striped flannel pants. Said he:
Yer honor, | want a change of veen-
you in this hyar case" "Why?" bland
~ inquired the Judge. Well" was
the blunt reply, 1.-THE jedge in the other
place is, c'sider, leetle better posted
on law than We be-" This was hitting
the Judge in a tender spot, but main
tanning his dignity with great effort he
gave the defe ndant to understand that
his reason was not sufficient. well,
then, | believe you're prejudiced agin
me, land [ demand my right as an
American citizen. | want a show in
this case and | know | can't get it in
this here court" This settled the mat
ter. The court granted the change OF
venue, and the defendant signalized
rhjs success by inviting the whole court
house out to take ''snifter."

handsome Congressman Deliver. of

l knew him as an eloquent and thought
full man, wit and philosopher, origi-
nal and courageous in his thoughts and
expressions. and the more interesting
because all this spectacular affability
and dressy show of cordially was new
and strange to him. In short, l wanted
to know what a man of brains and
sense, fresh from the people and from a
form OF society much simpler than this,

right arm up and down a couple of
times, Then [ was showed along to

was pumped again, and as another cog
was turned by the machine | heard
myself greeted by the second lady as
Mr.. CULVER. Again the pump mo-
ton was applied, the machine took up
another cog and l was introduced to
the next lady as MIR. Mellvifle.' More
pump-like movement of the arm and
with the lights dazzling my eyes and
my brain little disordered by visions
of beautiful women and gorgeous
dresses, was passed along to still an
other. Here l recovered myself suffi-
GENTLY to endeavor to regain possession
of my proper name, but when five
minutes later the machine moved again
l found the pump action just like its
predecessors and a large, handsome
woman with a French accent calling
me Mr.. Gollyboy.' Then gave it up
and resigned myself to anything that
might happen in the way of impromptu
nomenclature. More pump handle

Women as Inventors.

It was California woman who in
vented baby carriage which netted
her over SOC, 1000, while to Mrs. Gather
inc Greene, the wife and widow of
Washington's ablest officer is due the
honor of inventing the cotton gin,
which is one of those distinctly Ameri-
can inventions the value and import
ance of which have been recognized by
the whole industrial world. A horse
shoe machine, which turns out COM
pleted shoes, was the invention of
woman; also the reaper and mower. the
idea of which came into the brain of
Mrs. Ann Manning, of Plainfield. N.
j.. to whom is also accredited clover
cleaner. Mrs. Manning seems to have
stimulated the inventive genius of her
neighbors, for few years after her
reaper and mower was patented, Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith. of the same state, took
out patent for an Improvement on
this machine, being device for chang
ing the knives without stopping the
wheels.
One of the most complicated ma.
chimes ever made is that for the manu-
facture of REINFORCED bottom paper
bags. 1t is so curiously ingenious that
how it was contrived passes the ordi-
nary comprehension. 1t was the in
vention of Miss Maggie Knight, who,
from it and other inventions in the
same line, realized large fortune. A
street-sweeper of great merit was de-
vised and patented by New York lady,
who had a costly dress ruined by the
mud splashed on it from a defective
machine.
Most remarkable of all is the inven-
ton of Mrs. Mary B. Walton for dead
enIng the sound of car wheels. She
lived near the elevated railroad in New
York and was greatly annoyed by the
sound of the roaring trains passing her
house. The most noted machinists and
inventors of the country lad given their
attention to the subject without being
able to furnish a solution, when 10!
womans brain did the work and her
appliance, proving perfectly successful,
was adopted by the elevated roads, and
she is now reaping the rewards of
happy thought.

l am down on my luck. Everything

The parlor was furnished with a

lamp. Presently woman of medium
height, deeply pitted with smallpox

[ ever saw, entered the parlor. This
was Madame Angelo. She was dressed
in black, her only ornaments being a
small silver pin at the throat and a
plain gold ring on her left hand. She

and cut them, then she spread them out
face upward, and began:
You are about to make a change.
You will gain by that change. You
are in love with a dark girl. But, be-
ware dark man is your enemy and
will harm you.
The dark girl is false to you and
you will soon meet, through her, a
light girl whom you will love better
You will marry the light girl and will
have three children and will be very
happy. You will be very rich, you will
live to be 70 years of age and you will
die in your bed by rapid disease"
She then went into a cataleptic fit,
during which she repeated much of
what she had before said, adding that
l would get job soon and for me to
beware of horses. as [ might receive a
serious injury from one. She then
awoke and. asking me if I wanted to
