While opinions differ as to the cause of
the crumbling of brick pier in the George
block. on South Second and Main streets,
it is gratifying to know that architects
and builders are agreed that the building
is perfectly safe. The defective portion
is single pier between two windows.
This is being repaired. and when the work
is done, in day or two At most. the build
ing will be without flaw and as perfect as
the day it was completed. We print on

with pneumonia, which left him with {
terrible cough. He got gradually worse
and continually expectorated pus. We
travelled around In different parts of Cali

doctor. None of them could do him any
good. He got so very bad that after COM
ing to Seattle We had . half dozen promi-
nent physicians here in town to see him.
They said his left lung was all gone and
that he could not possibly live. Hearing
of DR.. Jordan we sent for him. He came
up and pronounced it bad case, but said
he thought he could pull him through all
right. He commenced to pick up right

Ancient Man in the Mississippi Valley.

Let us now take the antiquity of clas.

that of the American continent, as evi-
denced by our mysterious mounds, and
the indications of great and glorious
past set forth by our lost and ruined cit
es, as well as by the fossil remains
brought to light through the researches

ng:
''In digging for the gas-works at New
Orleans, sixteen feet below the surface,
beneath the fourth forest-level, burnt
wood was found and the skeleton of a
man."
DIR. Bennett Dowler, in his "Tableaux
of New Orleans" goes into calculation
which proves it correct, that the fourth
cypress forest level must have been
formed 57, 900 years ago, and that con-
sequently the skeleton had been reposing
where it was found for that period of
time. Such of the mounds OF the Mis-
sissippi Valley as have been explored
have clothed us with prehistoric past

"The Silent Dane"

In his early manhood Moltke was
called "The Silent Dane," and later he
was popularity known as ''The Great
Taciturn;" yet he could speak seven
languages fuently. Although one of the
worlds profoundest and sternest soldiers,
he was one of the most modest and affec.
tionate of men. Occasionally one might
see him in Berlin driving in plain cab,
or sauntering along principal street
looking in at the shop windows, but few
recognized him. He was as regular as
the sun in his daily tasks; and even in
the lighter employments OF his long life
he was ever painstaking and methodi:al.
Out of these traits grew, withal. his fine
literary ability, that, besides his pub
lished letters, produced several valuable
military histories.
The crowning honor of his life was
the way Germany celebrated the compile
tion of his ninetieth year. From the
Baltic to the Alps, from the Vosges to
the Vistula, every household joined in
the great jubilee, hung out the national
colors and likenesses of Moltlle in flags
and torches. Berlin was decorated and
enthusiastic as it had never before been
tor any private citizen. Germans
throughout the world set apart October

when the city fathers of Berlin sent him
their greetings, accompanied by the
sum of fifty thousand marks as charity

your Council that this gift touches my
heart, and that of the many and rich
presents | have received to-day, this is
the most valued" When, since the
death of Washington, has the world seen
a more modest, complete, successful and
noble life?-Harper's Weekly.

Washington is the only citv

Washington is the only city of q
quarter of million inhabitants in the
Union that has no factory girls. The
lack of manufacturing and commercial
enterprises reduces the working women
to minimum. A few are employed in
retail stores, Photographic galleries and
private offices, but the majority who
earn their living are in politics. An.
other novelty is the total absence of tene-
ment house life. Even the poorest little
