Only Two Weeks More to Enroll at tho
Central Office.
This week and next will close the CITY
Hall registration, and all who have not been
there to enroll their names should do 50 at
once. There is, as all good citizens know,
a united purpose on the part OF the Buckley
wing of the Democracy of San Francisco to
delay registration just as long as possible in
order that the possibilities for stuffing the
rolls may be greatly enhanced in the grand
rush at the last moment Even if this out
rageous scheme cannot be frustrated entirely
1t can at least be partially ayerte1 by the
early enrolment of all who wish to see
fair aud honest election.
Many do not understand how this whole
sale stuf1ing is to be effected 1t is simple
enough. Buckley's working gang, as nearly
every one in this city knows by this time,
numbers two thousand or more, known as

The church council convened for the pur-
pose of considering the proposal of the three
governing boards of the First Congregational
Church to vote the usual letter Of com
mendaton to the Rev. Charles Dana Bar
rows was in session all day yesterday in the
parlors of the sacred edifice on Post street.
A strict inquiry was held to the charges
which rumor had placed against the pastors
name, and after each individual item had
been thoroughly canvassed the council re-
tired for consultation.
After the lapse of few minutes it was an
nounced that DIR. Barrows had been unani-
mously exonerated from all blame, and that
letters of commentator would be granted to
him.
The clerical members of the council then
proceeded to draft a preamble and set of
resolutions covering the matter, but as these
did not meet the approval of the full coun
ell, the meeting was adjourned for week
in order to allow sufficient time for the
proper drafting of the paper.

Buckley Distributing His Wealth Among

Buckley has gone off on new tack and in
small way is endeavoring TO emulate the
example of Boss" Tweed. The eyer-recur-
ring murmurs of his followers concerning
his parsimony have reached him evidently,
and he has grown alarmed at the outlook.
The consequence is that he has opened his
heart and loosened his purse-strings, and, in
company with TIN 0Brien, his candidate
for Sheriff. he has for several nights been
throwing out his money among "de gang"
True, every dollar has had string attached
to it, but the willy "boss" endeavored to
conceal the latter fact. 1t is known, at all
events, that he and 0'Brien have been pay
ing nightly visits in a carriage to the various
Democratic registration bureaus throughout
the city, and have been buying drinks for
the boys with an unstinted hand. So far as
learned no coal or free meals have been dis
tributed, but Buckley has seen to it that

There is a lesson here for the vast

1t is hard for a girl who has lived
a free and unconstrained life at home,

in her mothers presence, and always
with her sanction, to realize that the

prevail in a public office.
She does not take into account that

The day before his departure Mr..
Depew and a number of friends were

chairs, each bearing the placard in
scribed. sold to Chauncy M. De-
pew"
Nh. Depew caught sight of the
chairs, and scratching his chin for a
moment, said
"By Jove, | had almost forgotten
about these pesky chairs. Got to take
'em right along now or I'll not get them
aboard the ship" and swinging the
two light chairs over his shoulder, he
walked rapidly up the street.
The furniture man, a stout German,
came rushing out of his shop and fol-
lowed as fast as he could run, calling
after Mr.. Depew to drop the chairs and
yelling for a policemen.

Thought The Bronco Lifeless,

One of the best known men in Wy
oming Territory is Frank J.. Lusk, of
the town which bears his name. He
comes to Chicago direct from the Wild
West and in the rotunda of the Grand
Pacific last evening he told an expert
ence of a rich young E~nglishmen out
among the cowboys.
"a few weeks ago." related Mr..
Lusk, " a young Englishmen came out
to u country in quest of some good
investment. He was at one of my
ranches for flew days. One afternoon
as the cowboys we're about to round up
a ranch of cow-ponies he said
he would enjoy a good ride in a saddle.
He said he was used to riding only
thorough-breds and he didn't think
we had a horse good enough for him.
The boys convinced him that we had
one of the finest horses on the plains
and if he knew how to ride he was
welcome to the animal. He was APP
~parently insulted when questioned that
he could ride any kind of a horse. A
sleepy looking bronco was brought out
from the corrals and saddled. Though
he appeared halfdead he was the worst
bucker in the herd.
"'E's lifeless said the foreigner when
the pony was brought to him. The
boys said the nag would wake up after
the first mile, and Milford got into
the saddle. He didn't linger long.
The first jump placed him up on the
horses neck and after the second he
was in the atmosphere. He turned a
double somersault and landed on a
sharp end Of cactus plant. When
he picked himself up one of the boys
asked what he thought ofthe thorough.

Englishmen turn pale.
"E's a good 'oss, he answered, but
he lopes to bloomin' Ugh"
"You could't blame the boys fol-
laughing. The Englishman didn't no
tice it, for he was too busy separating
himself from the points of the cactus

the river crept up, driving him from
place to place until he was now on the
highest possible point. Now he must
quietly await his fate.
But it was not very heroic to be
drowned like a rat. He must do some
thing to save himself.
AT length a star glimmered in the
distance. Hope sprang up again.
Some n was kinder to him than he
deserved.
How slowly the light came. 1t was
a hard battle with the wind and tor
| rent.
Suddenly the awful rush came again.
Had the gorge below given way? Then
heaven save him /!
He felt a shock. The building
trembled. Something had struck it
heavily and it was being carried down
into the raging flood.
1t was time for him to act. To re-
main where he was would be death.
He flung up the window and looked
out. One thing he had learned well
in years gone by-to swim. 1t seemed
almost madness to think of trusting
himself to a current, but there was
nothing else to be done.
The light was nearing him more
swiftly now, although it was apparently
a long way off yet. He bravely leaped
into the surging water and struck out
for the shore.
Something below the service of the
waves caught him and dragged him
swiftly down the stream. He struggled
with all his might to get away, but in
vain. One of his legs were held as if
in a wise. His head whirled.
Then a flash of light fell upon him.
in another moment a strong hand
grasped his urn. The rays Of a Ian
tern lighted up the face of his rescuer.
1t was Nan!
Joel awoke the next morning with a
delicious sense Of peace.
There was no pain anywhere. A
woman's hand was on his forehead.
He was in a woman's room. He lay
with his eyes closed and tried to put
things together. Then he looked up
into the face of Nan.
Don't speak, Nan Let me lie still.
If this is a dream | don't want it to
end!"
"But it isn't. It's real, and | thank
God it is !" said Nan, reverently.
Joel reached up and drew Nan down
toward him, and their lips met.
