Lakeside is steadily graspinS the atten
ton of the people and, ere the summer
closes, it will have hold that will not be
readily shaken off. 1t will take another
season to carry out the plans of the new
proprietors and then Lakeside will be one
Of the most beautiful, healthfu and popu-
lar resorts of the state. This will require
money and labor, but the parties behind
the project will be equal to all emerg ncies.
The time is not far distant when offers will
be made TO take the place off the hands of
the present owners and give them a good
bonus. In fact tempting offers to purchase
at much better price than was paid for
the place by the new concern have been
made, but they have been refused.

Major w. Gordon Lille is pronounced
by the press and public to be the greatest
rifle shot in the country. His feats OF trick
and fancy shooting are marvellous. One OF
the most remarkable feats is the breaking
Of glass ball, held in the hand of Miss
May Lille, while the former is sighting
the mark by means of mirror. As Il
leader Of cowboys he has no superior. All
the acts presented are the result of careful
study and one never tires witnessing the
various exhibitions.
Miss May Lille, the champion female
crack and rife shot of the world, is an ex-
eellent lady and her performances are ex-
ceedingly wonderful. While seated on the
back of Il running mustang she breaks glass
balls thrown into the air by cowboys, Her
style and grace adds materially in making
her performance a success.
Eagle Eye, the great Indian interpreter
is one of the leading lights of the Wild
West aggregation. He was raised among
the red skins, converses in all their differ
ent languages and has an interesting his
tory.
Mustang Walter, the lasso thrower and
| rider, presents some wonderful features.
He picks up coins from the ground while
on horseback. His pony express and
lightning change exhibition is grsat and it
wins for him loud applause.
The shooting exhibitions of Deadwood
Dick and Oklahoma Frank are excellent.
The former is the master of the Winchester
ride and his fancy shooting is fine. Okla
homa Franks exhibition of rife shooting
was one of the features of the day.
The other members of this great show
contribute their quota TO the portraying OF
the scenes of the far West

AN AERIAL DESTROYER.
Maxim's Flying Machine viii Revo

Maxim's Flying Machine viii Revolu-
tfonize Modern Warfare.
Hiram J. Maxim. one OF the Americans
who makes the guns in Europe because he
can get better market for them Is just
now working out ing-machine with
which he proposes TO revolutionize methods
of warfare, says a special to the st. Louis
Post Dispatch Mr. Maxim is in Washing
ton, and yesterday talked about his plans
for flying-machine.
'If can rise from the coast OF France, I"
he said, "sail through the air across the
channel and drop half ton Of nitro glyce-
rine upon an English city | can revOlu-
tionize the world. l believe / can do 1t If 1
live long enough. If / die some one will
come after me who will be successful where
| failed"
Mr.. Maxim has built in workshop near
Kent. England, small flying-machine, with
q wooden screw as its: motive power. The
screw reyOlves all the way from 1000 to $500
revolutions per minute.
"What is your machine like2" he was
asked.
my first machine was small one. 1t
was an inclined plane, 10 feet long and
feet wide, and sailed edgewise against the
air 1t had an arm about 81 feet in length,
revolving on circumference Of 200 feet.
Inc arm was mOYaDle so that 1t
would rise or fail. When the ma
chine travelled at the rate of thirty
miles an hour it remained in the same
plane. When the speed was increased to
thirty-fve miles It began to rise. At ninety
miles it pulled its guy wires with such force
that it broke them, and now we have to
keep it chained. All our experiments were
conducted with the greatest accuracy.
Delicate machinery measured the speed per
minute and Der hOUr the nush and Tho

Locked Fast to a Ietter-Rox

Ietter-caTrier S. Ralph Hull locked HIM
self to the letter-bOX at the corner of Chapel
ami College streets late last night, and was
unable to free himself until passer-by had
sent to the Postofiice and secured key, says
the New Haven Register. The accident was
a peculiar one, and is without a ptece-
dent here. Mr.. Hull was hurrying along
from buX to box at 80 o'clock on his final
round. His key was attached To a small,
but strong chain, and the chain was fastened
about his waist IN such a way that it could
be taken off only by having the key end of
the chain. 1t is customary for the carriers
to put the key in the breaSt-pOcket after
opening a box, the box being fastened again
with a spring lock.
Accidentally Mr.. Hull's key did not strike
the pocket, but slid down inside of the box
lid unObServed by the carrier. Mr.. Hull
slammed up the loosely closing door, put on
the paddock and snapped 1t. Then he darted
onward. He only went about two feet,
however. just the length of the chain. The
suddenness of his stop caused a severe jar
TO the carrier, and as Mr. Hull is heavy
man there was considerable of strain on
the post.
The etter-carrier was very much sur
prised when he found that the end of the
chain was held fast by the lid of the box.
He invOluntarly thrust his hand into the
pocket for the key, and then realized for the
first time that the key was inside of the
box and that he was prisoner. TO remove
the chain from his body WAS out of the ques-
ton, SO Mr.. Hull stood quietly by the post
until a young man happened to pass along.
He informed the youth of his predieament,
and messenger was sent to the Pos Office
for another key.
Before he was liberated Mr.. Hull stood
faithfully to his post for fully half an hour.

SnoiIed His Reantx.

The San BernardinO Courier has the fol-
lowing account of how mules complexion
was ruined the other day:
James Poole and Fred Schultz sailed forth
to Lyle Creek on Sunday. with a wagon and
a mule team, in quest of wood and game.
On the way back Mr.. Schultz spied a fe-
rocious looking dove perched on the branch
of tree. evidently contemplating mischief
Selling his gun he got down from the wagon
and fired away at the feathered monster
which soon added to the days booty
Flushed with his victory the ninrod rather
earelessly jumped back into the wagon,
striking the gun against the wheel and
causing an explosion of the remaining
charge. InstantaneouNly with the discharge
the off mule turned his head around to be-
stow pleased smile OF congratulaton upon
the successful marksman aud received upon
his noble brow the handful of shot which
had been intended for other game. making
an excavation about the size of goose egg
in front of his intellect. The mule did no t
say anything, but he gave the other men,
berS OF the party look which indicated that
he had his own opinion of the matter.

Property Holders PrOtes ting Against the

Tie Post-street Extension Protective As
ISOLATION met last evening at the rooms Of
the Bear Club, corner of Post and Fillmore

recently appointed to inquire into the
amount Of assessments made by the Pest
street Extension Commission, on property
situated along the line of that thOroughfare,
which viii be affected 10y the proposed ex-
tension.
The committee had on hand long list Of
property assessments. which was read. 1t
showed that property on Post street, near
Octavia, the extreme eastern limit Of the as
seSSment district, had been assessed 81 on
500 of the assessed valuation, while between
Ninth and Tenth avenues the assessment is
$40 on 500 Of the assessed valuation. Be-
tween First aud Second avenues the assess
meDt runs as high as S5S on the Sl00 AS
an example in the matter of damages Laurel
Hill Cemetery is fixed at $500. wh!lea single
lot near First avenue is rated al a Ike
amount
IL view Of these facts the members Of the
society are dissatisfied, making a general
complaint OF excessive damages and unequal
assessments. They charge the commission
with paying from 500 to $50 front foot
for property which before the extension
scheme was preached would not bring $50

STILL YOUNG.
A Massachusetts Woman Who Is Still
Living at the Age of los.

A Massachusetts Woman Who Is Still
Living at the Age of 1O5.
Mrs. Bridget Mullen, aged 105 years and
6 months. is believed to be the oldest resi-
dent in this section of Massachusetts, says
a Lowell (MaSs,) correspondent of the Bos-
ton Globe.
She was born in the latter part of Octo-
Der, 1875, in the outskirts of a village in
County Mayo, Ireland. She came of hardy
race, and two OF her sisters lived to the age
of 80 years.
In the course of time she married young
man residing on a neighboring estate, and
there they lived happily, although there
were constant difficulties between the resi-
dents and the English troops.
Seven children were born to her, and
four OF them, with her husband. passed
away before 1862. At that time she was re-
siding with one Of her sons, who was mar
red.
Times were hard in Ireland, and the next
year they came over to America, settling in
Amesbury, Mass. Another of her sons who
came over with them went West, and she
has not heard from him since that time.
Four years ago Mrs. Mullen, with her son.
who Is now over go years of age, his
children, and even his chiidren's children,
moved TO that portion Of Dracut known as
COllinsyllle, where they now reside.
In all her long life the old lady has never
been troubled with much sickness. Her
only ailment is weakness of the eyes. On
this account she seldom leaves the house.
She was very hard worker in her
younger days and knit many pairs Of stock
lngS Tor her children. This and sewing is
now her only occupation. She will sit down
with ball of yarn, and almost by touch
alone will knit stocking in short time.
NJ RS. Mullen does not understand English.
She speaks Irish, which is unintellIgble to
her grandchildren and reat-grandchiidren
Her mind is still clear and her memory of
events in her early life is excellent.
Mrs. Mullen is very dev0ut aud spends
much of her time in prayer.

Playing Second Fiddle.

The Fresno republican, with that super
lative assinirity which has characterized its
conduct since its recent change OF owner
ship, pretends TO think that California has
some interest at stake in favor of the APP
pGintment of Walter S. Maxwell the ward
politician of Los Angeles, to the position of
Chief of the Horticultural Department of
the Worlds Fair. 1t says: "The fight now
being made at Chicago is not against Max
well, but at California, and should be met
by united people," The appointment of
Maxwell was made in the selfish interest of
the people who effected it and California
was not considered at all. II is inconceiy-
able that the Fresno Republican should be
so stupid as not to understand that the peo-
pie of California have a thousand times the
interest in the defeat Of Maxwell that they
have in his confirmation. The Republican
man is evidently playing second fiddle to the
Chronicle and fiunkey to the bnssism which
nominated MaXwell.-Red Bluff Sentinel.
