The Literary Standard in America.

We say in all seriousness, that in this
new country, drunk with prosperity and
besotted as 1t is with material ideals, the
literary standard is as high as ever it was
In the world; and that the literary per-
formance is OF an excellence which is
only not conspicuous because it is so
general. II any one doubts il, let him
compare an average piece of fiction in
The Atlantic Monthly, or The Century,
or Scribner's, or Harper's with an aver
age piece of fiction in Blackwood's OF
Frazer's, or Tinsely's of fifty years ago;
or an average essay in one of our period
icals with an average essay of the best
English time; or an average poem of our
day with an average poem Of the
splendid and unsurpassed literature of
the past" or an average review in the
Sunday papers with the 'really capable
criticism" of the heyday of English re-
yiewing.-W. d. Howells in Harpers.

HORACE E. PAGE
DIES SUDDENLY.
His Admirable Career i'm Public
and Private Life.
He Served Well in Congress in the Interests
Of the Pacific Coast and His Memory
Will Be Houored.

Ex-Congressman Horace F. Page died
suddenly yesterday morning at 11:3O
o'clock in the Strathmore House, Larkin
street. His wife and younger daughter
were present with him during his last
moments. He leaves widow and four
children.
He served in the Lower House of Con-
gress four terms, representing what was
called the Second District. Eight or ten
wears ago he retired from public life and
has since been successfully practicing law
in Washington. d. c., from which place he
returned to this city about three weeks ago.
His political career was appreciated by
the people of this Coast, for whose inter-
ests he was always clever and faithful
worker. He held the position of Chairman
of the House Committee on Commerce, he
pushed the first Chinese Exclusion Bill
through the House and he aided much IN
securing appropriations for this Coast.
His public life was admirable, his private
life was none the less so. He was born in
Orleans County, n. Y, on October 20, 1888.
When 20 years of age he became a resident
of California. His first venture was in OPP
Grating saw-mill near COlfax. From that
he turned to mining, after which he moved
to Placerville and there established a line
of stage coaches connecting the principal
towns of Ell Dorado, Placer and Sacramento
counties. At Placerville he married Miss
Jane Walters.
Always a straight Republican, he was
drawn into political life by being nomi-
mated for the State Senate, and was de-
feated in the contest.
Afterward he was elected to Congress on
the Republican ticket in 1872 to represent
the Second Congressional District, and
served in the Forty-thrd, Forty-fourth,
Forthwith and Forty-sixth Congresses.
In 1880 he again was a candidate for Con-
gress, but was defeated by James Ii. Budd
of Stockton. He had more experience in
Congress than any other Representative
elected from this State, having been elected
to that office four times His majority in
1872 was 9S4; in 1873, 1470; in 1876, 1899, and

A PROPOSAL no KILL.
Robert Ferrnl Tries to Prove That 1t II
Mi Eala

Robert Ferrnl Tries to Prove That 1t Is
Not Felony.
When P. A. Kearney's perjury case was
called. before Judge Murphy yesterday
morning. Robert Ferral moved to have it
dismissed on the ground that the Grand
Jury had no jurisdiction over the matter
concerning which the alleged perjury was
made, and therefore there could be no per-
jury.
Kearney is Folsom street druggist and
some months ago went before the Grand
Jury and testified that DR.. NJ. E. Gonzales
approached him on October 31st and pro-
posed to pay him $500 to poison and Kill
one r. d. johnson.
The plan which Kearney swore that Con-
Zaies proposed was for Kearney TO induce
johnson to go with johnson on fishing
trip to Lake Chabot. While there johnson
was to be induced to drink from a bottle
containing whisky and morphine. When
the morphine began to take effect Kearney.
according to the proposed murder. was to
push johnson into the lake and drown him.
After the Grand Jury had investigated
the case it was found to have originated in
Kearney's imagination, and instead of find
ing an Indictment against DR.. Gonzales, he
Kearney) was indicted for perjury.
The point made by Mr.. Ferral was that a
proposal to kill is not felony, hence the
Grand Jury could have no jurisdiction over
il or any offense collateral to it.
Judge Murphy thought he would study
on the case awhile before disposing of it, so
continued the hearing until next week.

HANGED THE WRONG MAN.

The Real PerPetrator of an English
Murder Believed TO Be in America.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-Much unsatisfed curl
osity has been excited here by the develop
ments in the case of the murder Of the man
Darlington, gamekeeper in the employ of
Lord Tollemache, and for which poacher
named Blagg was hanged on the ground
that his boots fitted into certain footprints
made by the assassin. As man in New
Orleans has now confessed that he is the
murderer and borrowed the boots worn by
Blagg, q Dunlap reporter called on the
latter's widow with regard to the circum-
stances.
Mrs. Blagg declares that she distinctly
remembers man named James Jones COM
ing to the house on the night of the murder,
borrowing her husbands boots and leaving
his own clogs in their place. This would
seem to indicate that there is some found a.
ton for the story that comes from across
the Atlantic. Should the facts be still
further authenticated it is stated that they
will be laid before the Home Secretary. He
will be asked to pension the widow, as she
now receives aid from the parish.-Pitts-

HIS WAY OF ADVERTISING.

1t Was Very Clever Way and Paid
Exceedingly Well.
81 beg pardon for intrudng upon your

small valise in his baud. "a peddler is
nuisance. l know il as well as anybody.
But there are various kinds of peddlers and
all of us must live. 1t isn't our fault that
we are here. Those of us that earn our
living honestly have to share the 0dium
that belongs TO the calling. Pm not COM
planning of this, gentlemen. 1t is a part of
the curse that came in the original package
to Adam. If there is any of you that has a
spot of grease on his coat, vest or pant
trousers" he added. opening his valise and
taking out a small cake of soap and a
sponge, Il shall be happy to remove it
without charging a cent and without asking
anybody to buy my soap. It's my way of
advertising. My dear sir, allow me. There
is little spot on your vest"
He rubbed the spot with the piece OF
soap, deity applied the sponge. made a few
passes over the cloth with piece of cotton
sheeting and said:
There sir. that spot is gone. You will
never see 1t again. Aud probably you Will
never see me either, as l travel but once
through community. Ny goods will be
found at the stores | take IL for granted
nobody wishes to buy cake of my soap. l
wish you good morning, gentlemen.
After the polite, smiling man had gone
away the gentleman whose garments had
been operated upon had occasion TO con-
suit his watch.
1t wasn't there.
1t had disappeared with the spot.-Pitts-

But an Indictment Prevents Their Es-

About week ago Officer Donnellan ar
rested Peter Parsol and Joseph Bush on the
charge of drugging an Arizona citizen
named S. Koran and robbing him of $500 in
saloon ON Montgomery and Pacific streets.
The case came up for trial in Police Judge
LAWYERS court, but the men seemed to have
"pull' and the charge of robbery was
dismissed on the ground that there was no
evidence to sustain the charge. Officer
Donnellan, who had seen the men go
through Koran's pockets and then attempt
to throw him out of the saloon, was very in
dignan at the dismissal of the charge lie
called the attention of the Grand Jury to
the matter, and that body yesterday re-
turned indictments against the men for
robbery. Parsol and Bush were arrested
in the afternoon on warrants issued by the
Superior Court and taken to the County
Jail
