It has Just come to light that party
Of Chinese, who attempted to smuggle
themselves into the United States from
lower California, got lost on the desert
and had terrible experience, one Of the
party dying of thirst and exposure. They
found the frontier so closely guarded
that they stole march toward the east
ward and got into the desert. Here they
got lost and wandered aimlessly around
for several days, suffering unutterable
agonies. ,.
One of the Mongolians was youth of
some IA years. He gave out under the
terrible suffering and became crazy. In
his rawlings he imagined the blistering
sands were limpid water and eagerly
filed his parched mouth with the burn.
ing particles. This only added to his
horrors, and pretty soon he lay down to
die, his companions being in too pitiful
condition to render him any assistance.
Here they heaped pile of sand upon
MIN and left him alone to sleep his last
long slumber, while they, with swollen
tongues, aching limbs and heavy hearts,
continued their aimless wanderings-
lost in trackless desert It is asserted
that they at last reached the railroad and
soon reached Los Angeles, minus every
thing they had attempted to bring into
the country except the clothes upon
their backs. They had thrown away the
bundles containing the many things the
Chinese hold dear, all of which mark
their track upon the waste of sands.
As the almond eyed ones have sys-
tenn Of spreading information among
themselves, it is quite likely this terrible
experience will prevent any more of
them attempting to invade the United
States via the desert route.--San Diego

Charged with Painting a Man Red.

Frank Grafton, painter, was charged
before Justice Kavanagh at Long Island
City, L. l., with throwing a pot of paint
over the head and face of Nicholas Red
line, completely spelling the latter's per-
sonal appearance for the time being.
Grafton was employed painting house
in Dutch Kills. He had placed twen-
ty-fve foot ladder against Redline's
house, which stood within three feet Of
the building which he was working on.
Redline ordered him down, and to
hasten the painters movements he pulled
at the foot of the ladder with hoe.
Grafton is nearsighted, and, fearing that
Redline would upset the ladder, he up
set his bucket of red paint. The paint
struck Redline on the head and made
him look like an Indian. He ran shout
ting down the street, followed by a
crowd which quickly gathered. He ran
into barber shop, where his appearance
caused a panic among the patrons of the
place. Some took the paint for blood
and shouted for the police. Redlines
hair had to be shaved off to the scalp

The principal wife of the shah of Per-
bia, who is suffering from cataract in
one Of her eyes, has reached Vienna and
submitted to an operation, whereby it is
hoped she will be able to view all the
more clearly, on her return to Teheran,
the charms and graces of her worthy
and exalted husband, the king of kings.
The feelings of the Viennese dudes, who
hovered around the railway station on
Wednesday in the hope of catching a
sight of her, have received rude shock.
Instead Of young and lovely houri,
they saw from the distance decrepit
old lady, not far short of go, lifted from
a carriage by a number of elderly ne
groes, who assisted her into the waiting
room, where she was received by the
ladies of the Persian embassy. Her
majesty, besides being blind, was muff1ed
in thick, black veil, and all that the
gilded youths obtained for their trouble
was far away sight of the ladies afore-
said and the scowls of the eunuchs de-
puted by the shah to follow his wife, by
way of concession to the Persian equiv
alent for Mrs. Grundy. Professor Fuchs
has already operated upon the royal eyes
and has little doubt he will be able to
effect permanent cure.-Cor. Pittsburg

Germans Leaving Russia.

According to our Odessa correspond
ent upwards of ten thousand German
families of the colonial agriculturist
class have, during the last two years,
emigrated from southern Russia to
America. The facility with which these
emigrants obtain foreign passports from
the provincial authorities appears in it.
self to manifest a desire on the part of
the government to be rid of the German
colonists. The comparatively few Ger
mans who of late years have sought
Russian naturalization have been re-
fused legitimation. The power and in
fuence of the landed nobility, which
have revived under the Tolstoi reforms,
promise anything but an encouraging
future for the German agricultural col
onies of southern Russia. A more gen.
eral emigration Of the German colonists
is at present only retarded by the utterly
ruinous prices just now obtainable for
their holdings.-London News.

DIED In N. Saddle.

At the ranch of William Dixon, the
well known Cosumnes farmer, a singular
instance of sudden death occurred. Mr..
Dixon's brother, Michael s. Dixon, set
out on horseback to drive up some cat
tie. he had been q sufferer from heart
disease, and his brother tried to dissuade
him from going, but as he insisted on
going it was deemed best to have his
nephew accompany him.
Alvin Plummer, overseer of the road
district that embraces that locality, was
coming to the city to transact some bust
ness with the board of supervisors, and
saw the men driving cattle in the field
near the road. Presently he noticed the
elder Dixon rein up his horse, lean for
ward over the pommel of his saddle and
remain in that position, the horse mean
while standing quite still.
Mr.. Plummer thought that something
was wrong with the man, but concluded
that he had attack of bleeding at the
nose. Young Dixon rode up and spoke
to his uncle, who did not move, and
then rode hurriedly tc the lane and in
formed Mr.. Plummer that he believed
his uncle was dead.
Mr.. Plummer drove into the field and
over to where the horse and his immov-
able rider were, and found that Mr..
Dixon was really dead. He assisted the
young man in lifting the body from the
horse and placing it in the buggy, and
then drove back with it to the Dixon
ranch.-Sacramento Record Union.

The Smallest Of Twins.

Mrs. Charles Orton, wife Of the cough
drop man, who is known by nearly every
person in the two cities, gave birth a
few days ago 10 two of the smallest
babies that there is any authentic record
of. The babies weigh three-quarters of
a pound and one pound respectively, and
are well developed and apparently in
perfect health. The news soon spread
over the neighborhood of the arrival of
the tiny strangers, and the house was
thronged with curious women until at
last it was necessary for Mrs. Ortons
health to exclude visitors from the house,
and scales were procured from a grocery
store near by. The babies were weighed,
and the boy tipped the beam at one
pound, while the girls weight was one
quarter of pound short of this.
Mrs. Sadie Gray, the nurse in charge
of the midgets, was presentat the weigh
ing, and she said that both babies had
gained at least three ounces since their
birth. She was sure that Wednesday
the weight of the two was not more than
three-fourths of pound and half
pound respectively. Either child could
be hidden under a quart measure, or
both could be slowed away comfortably
in an ordinary overcoat pocket. Both
have black hair and have very pretty
faces. Mrs. Gray told the reporter
that both children were remarka-
bly, healthy, and she thought there
was no danger of their death. They are
very lively, and are not as "cross" as the
average child, she said. Mr.. Orton is
the father of six children. The other
four are of ordinary size. He is thirty
nine years of age, and is the son of the
late Chief of Police Orton. His wife is
also thirty-ni0e years of age, and is a
very pleasant and attractive woman.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Orton are ordinary
sized people.-Pittsburg Commercial

the road-stories that he tells with great

he can use his tongue. Birch and Backus
were the two most popular end men who
ever travelled. Poor Backus was shot

Move, Application Of the Camera.

A graphic history of the new library
building at Washington is being pre-
pared. At regular intervals, from the
top Of the building, occupied by the
experimenting architect and his force of
craftsmen, camera is turned upon the
work, which at present consists only of
great hole dug out in the square east Of
the Capitol grounds.
The resulting picture shows every de-
tail of the condition of the work, the
height Of the foundation wall, the piles
of material on hand, etc. It is proposed
to file these photographs away, properly
labeled in such form that they can be
produced if any question arises as to what
was done or was not done at any stage Of
the work.-Carpentry and Building.

Senator Plumb's Mail,

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, is said by
Washington correspondent to receive
more mail than any other member of
congress. He is subscriber to more
than 200 papers, nearly all of which are
published in his state. Some one asked
him if he ever read these papers. "In-
deed, do" he answered. "It is by means
of these publications that am kept in
constant touch with the people of my
state, and am better prepared, knowing
their sentiments expressed through the
papers, to serve my constituency" Be-
sides these papers he receives hundreds
of others. Nothing is ever thrown from
his desk unnoticed, and when he is not
engaged in pouring hot shot into the
enemy's camp across the chamber he is
up to his eyes in the correspondence on
his desk.

A valuable Collection of Coins.

Loring G. Parmalee, of Boston and a
former resident of Wilmington, VT, has
sold his valuable and unique collection
Of American coins to New York persons,
who are to sell them at public auction.
The collection comprises about 5000
pieces, many of which are uncirculated,
and is thought the most valuable single
collection of United States coinage in
the world, and is valued at $75,0 900. Mr..
Parmalee has been about twenty years
acquiring this collection, which includes
the rare 1904 dollar, for which he paid
$3.50, though it has since nearly doubled
in value, and a specimen of every gold
coin from 1895 down to, the present date,
the best assortment known. Some of the
rare pieces of colonial coinage in the
cabinet are valued as high as 81 900 each.
An unsuccessful effort was made to get
these coins for the government, it being
more nearly complete collection than
the one in the Philadelphia Miht.-Cor.

Insulating Compounds.

The question of the future of the over.
head wire system depends SO much on
the possibility of perfect insulating that
the discovery Of material possessing
high insulating properties will be one Of
the utmost value. To the large variety
of insulating compounds already in exist
ence has been added one which consists
of mixture of carbolic acid and shellac.
The two substances are combined by
heating carbolic acid until it boils slow.
ly, and then adding the shellac, or other
insulating materials, such as vegetable
drying oils, asphalt, rosin, etc. The
product is semi-plastic mass, remark
ably tough and tenacious, which is but
little sensitive to extreme changes Of
temperature, and presents hard, smooth
surface. The results obtained with this
new compound are said to be excellent.

How women Can pre.. We'll


There is no reason in the world why
anybody should have an unbecoming
costume this season. In fabrics and in
colors eli sorts and conditions Of women
are catered to, and all tones, from the
faintest to the deepest, are deftly
wrought out 80 that the particular shade,
that the wise woman finds becoming to
her can be gotten without any trouble.
There are plain colors for a woman who
likes stuffs that are not conspicuous.
There are spots big and little, plaids bias
and straight and stripes of all widths
and kinds. Be little careful in choos-
ing your colors, and remember that be-
cause somebody tells you how well you
look in a costume of navy blue you must
not conclude that every blue shade is
suited to you, for that extremely trying
but very beautiful one known as army
makes the average woman's complexion
look as yellow as lemon.
Because scarlet makes your hair look
warmer and gives deeper color to your
eyes, it does not follow that magenta is
suited to you. General rules do not ap-
ply to women who are nothing if not in
dividual. Somebody says that small
bonnets are universally becoming, and
you, whose face is rather broad, whose
nose is a bit retrousse, put one on and
believe you look well. A bonnet, more
than anything else, needs to be tried on,
and although one may generalize and
say bonnets are ladylike it can no more
be asserted that bonnets are always be-
coming than it could be that all women
are good figures. So just think out
things before you choose them.-Mrs,
Mallon in Ladies' Home Journal.
