The Delegate Tp.Stai.s.

One day when a whole bus full
of us drove up to hotel i'll Lvnchburg,
Va. the landlord remembered that he
had a drummer from New York who
had been suffering terribly with tooth
ache for two or three days. He had
tried every remedy known to man, ex'
cept that of having it pulled, but moth.
ing had availed him. He said he hoped
some one of us might be able to sug-
gest something, and slowly added:
"Gentlemen, have heard that sud-
den shock to mans nervous system
would sometimes cure the worst case OF
toothache. Can you plan something"
Six or eight of us got togetherin the
reading room, and it was finally de-
cided that man named Simms, who
turned out to be patent medicine adj
vertiser, should go up to the room and
startle the New Yorker. He was to do
it by claiming to have seen a dispatch to
the effect that his wife had run away
with another man. We thought that
ought to cure his toothache if anything
would.
GLOW big man is he!" asked the
delegate when ready to go up.
"Oh, he's rather understood" replied
the landlord. "If he should get up on
his ear, you can easily slam him all
over the room"
The medicine man went up. We
followed and stood at the door to hear
the result He found the New Yorker
grooming like sick horse, and after in
Producing himself, he said:
"Sorry for you, old fellow, particu-
larly at this time, but have bad news
for you"
"No!" exclaimed the other, sitting up
in bed.
"Be calm, old boy, It's about your
wife"
els she-she dead?"
"Better for you if she was. She's
run away with a street car conductor!
There was wild yell, followed by
several whoops, and a crash. Then the
medicine man fell into the hall. and q
wild figure mopped him around, and
made bear fodder. of him. It was five
minutes before We could get him off and
get his victim away. We carried the
latter into sample room, stretched
him out on the table, and had sponged
his face for the third time, when he
opened his eyes.
"How do you feel now?" asked ono
of the boys.
"Queer. What's happened?"
"You went in to see the New Yorker.
ooh, yes. He had the toothacbe.
Gle did, and you kindly consented
to shock his mental system. 1t was q
great success"
IT cured it, did II"
"You did"
"But, great heavens! feel Of me; look
at me; keep on sponging! I'm nothing
but big splatter of jelly Boys, if
die, and I hope will, I'll haunt every
internal one of you day and night un
til I drive you to hang yourselves will

which have transparent effect and do

muslin and Lady Macbeth in black vel

the girl becomes the good, poor man S
bride we put her in simple princess
gown of gray. Cotton fabrics, after be-
ing starched and ironod, suggest kind
of moral purity. The nuns head-dress
seems to settle it." Then, after reflect

RoCKLIN, April 4.-There were no new
developments in the quarTymen's strike

given the men nine hours. A meeting of
the bosses many of whom have offices in
San Francisco, will be held tomorrow,
when it will be decided whether to give the
men their demand of nine hours or put in
scabs at ten hours per day.
The general opinion of the people here is
that the men will gain their point, as their
work is very hard. and during the warm

the men there had behaved with admirable
caution. Not one Of them has taken
drink, he said, "snce the strike was de-
clared. Some Of the bosses tried to get
men to drink but We warned them that it
was time to keep sober, and they refused
ali Invitations to visit the saloons"

radical lot, and it was feared in some quar-
tiers that they might ignore the wise coun-
sells Of the Anglo-SaXon leaders. They
are as loyal lot of men as l ever saw"
said one of the strikers to the Bee man.
They are difficult to talk with, not under

TAXING THE CLUBS.

Agent Eldridee Confident That They
VIII All Pay.
In an interview yesterday Charles W.
Eldridge. Internal Revenue Agent for the
Pacific Coast, stated with reference to the
proposed taxing of the local clubs where
liquors and cigars are sold. that he intends
to push the matter. He has full authc rity
to do so, as 1t Is in accordance with the de-
cIsions OF the Federal courts The law pro-
viding tax for such clubs was adopted in
1864, since which time uniform course of
decisions have sustained the validity of the
law. The first test of the statute was made
in the United States District Court of Mas
sachusetts in 1875 and the judgment of
that court has been followed in similar
cases by the United States tribunals of
Ohio and Illinois. A similar result is ex-
pected here.
All the clubs will be notified early next
week OF their liability and requested to set
tie Tor both the present and the past. Mr..
Eldrldge Is confident that all the back taxes
will be paid without ado. A deputy reye-
nue. officer has been making the rounds of
the clubs to ascertain the dates of their or
ganization and information concerning their
liquor sales.
AT the clubs some surprise was expressed
over the prospective demand of the revenue
agent, but no action has yet been taken by
them. All are awaiting official notice that

John Edwards had it all made up as to how
to do the killing. Edwards had spade hid
on the edge of the woods, near the cow

After he came we went into the woods west

Father and Edwards then went up to

SAN JOSE. April 4.-Whether the second
meeting of the San Jose Blood-horse Asso-
citation, commencing tomorrow, win be
very successful or not is hard to determine.
The track is in fine order and very fast
and there are horses enough, some eighty
in all. to insure good fields. but judging
from the many scratches tonight in the
four events on to-morrOw's programme the
fields will be very light.
Some of the leading stables of the State
are here. Henry Welsh has brought down
a string of ten from Palo Alto, including
Flambeau, Racine. Muta, Godfrey. Tear
less and Rinfax Billy Jonathan has fifteen
from the Hearst stable. Kelly & Samuels,
w. L. Appleby, II. D. Miller and +. Haz-
lett have also representatives who will race
during the meeting. The Thornton, Ship
pee and Rose stables will not race here this
spring.
Opinions differ greatly whether the horses
are sufficiently advanced to show fast time,
but Racine and Muta's work to-day-a mile
in l :43A, Flambeau's mile and a quarter
with shoes on in PIP, and halves in 4iA by
three of Palo Altos two-year-olds would
seem to show that this stable anyhow is
in good racing order. Flambeau will not
entered in any events here, but will race at
the San Francisco and Sacramento meet
ings; so Henry Welsh states, and he will
run in the Palo Alto colors.
After the Sacramento races Flambeau
will be turne over to George Hearst, who
will sen d him East to strengthen his stable
there.
S. B. Whitehead & Co. sold pools tonight
on to-morrOw's events at the Lick House,
but the entries being so light and not many
horses present, the betting was very dull
and confined entirely to the first and last

RUSSIAN POLITICS.
The Princess Engalitcheff De.
scribes the Four Parties.

The Princess Marthe Engalitcheff lectured
last evening at Union-square Hall. Her
subject was the "Nihilists and Other Politi-
cal Parties in Russia" There are, she
said, four great parties in that country, the
Conservatives, Liberals, SlayophIles and
Nihilists.
The first named is the party of the affiuent,
autocratic and intelligent, and is repre-
scented by Tolstoi. Its policy is to keep
foreign elements away from the throne.
Alexander III, the reigning Gar, exempli-
ned this, as lie is surrounded by Russians
only. This party is in power and will
probably remain so.
The Liberals desire a constitution and
would have received one from Alexander
IL had he not been killed. The Princess
held that the Russian peasant has not yet
advanced enough 10 APP reciate liberalism
and the Liberal leaders forget that their
principles must be grounded for many years
before there can be any hope of success.
The organization she also held to be In in
competent hands, which made no effort to
educate the people toward true liberalism.
The Slavophiles represent the SlaVonian
element which is small and would like to
plant the Russian cross on the towers OF
Sofia. They desired Russia to be the
greatest Oriental power.
The lecturess depressed at this point to
state that the Empress took no part in poll
tics and did not favor her female subjects
doing so. The curse of the country, the
speaker asserted, was the Germans, who
overran the country. peryading all classes,
and constituted an extremely dangerous
element.
.Nihilists were the extremes of the Rus
sian populace, whose party, according TO
the speaker, is an offspring Of the German
socialism. Their principles shocked the
sensiDilltles of not only Russia but the
whole world. She credited the NihiIists
