ONTARIO.

Charles Farcio, an engineer in the
Chino sugar factory, dropped dead of
heart disease while on duty last We'd
nesday morning. Mr.. Farcio was pro-
nounced mechanical genius. His life
was an eventful one, and not altogether
void OF romance. He was once up the
Youkon river, Alaska, on prospecting
tour with the Shafferon brothers, and
taking liking to the country, decided
to settle down there. No arguments
could alter his determination. The
party gave him a set of tools and a
quantity of old iron and gas pipe that
was on board their vessel. After several
wears OF hermitage in that effete land,
he began to long for civilization and its
comforts, and building boat and en-
CINE, without the use OF bolt, screw,
nail or nut, sailed to San Francisco.
The engine was made entirely of gas
pipe. For this display of genius he was
awarded a gold medal by the United
States government. The last invention
of deceased was turning lathe of
marvellous utility, which is to be ex-
hibited at the worlds fair.
Last Thursday afternoon two days
session of the County w. G. T. U. was
concluded at the M. Il. church. The
meetings were both interesting and we'll
attended, particularly that OF Wednes-
day evening. The essay by Miss Bond,
Is Beer Nutritious, the recitation by
Miss Wilmont, and the solos by Misses
Dyar and Atkins were especially we'll
received. 1t was the cause of general
regret, however, that several of the
ladies should have gone out of their
way to assail the Stanford university
and slander the government because it
does not accede to every wish Of the
w. G. t. U. 1t would be better for the
cause OF temperance ii such rabid,
ranting speech-makers were given
back seat upon such occasions.
G. III. Conant, the druggist, returned
this week from visit to his old home
in Concord, Mass.
IN. Miller, of San Francisco, recent
ly bought ten acres of Ontario orange
land, unimproved, for $2500.
J. T. Lindley is filling orders from
Florida for 81 900 Ontario lemon buds.
The winning OF all the prizes on lemons
at last years citrus fair has given this
place quite reputation in that line.

LONG BEACH.

The only thing that breaks the monot-
ony of existence here is the music of
the bells. the noisy railroad bells of the
construction trains of the Terminal rail-
road, which are necessarily running
backward and forward, keeping the busy
men at the front supplied with material.
The regular passenger trains will COM
mence running to Long Beach in few
days, and the formal opening will be de-
ferred until the turn-tsble at the termi-
nus, East San Pedro, is in place, so that
the chamber OF commerce of Los Angeles
can view the whole line, then turning
and coming back to Long Beach, where
will be made by prominent gentlemen,
barbecue, music and other festivities
will follow.
The Long Beach Development COM
pany are having the pipe line surveyed
and are evidently in earnest to give this
place ample water facilities. The pipe
is already ordered, and with the high
reservoir they will put on the hill next
spring will insure US pure water with
ample pressure.
The hotel that was moved from Sea-
bright is in place, and will be extensive
ly altered and put in first-class condition.
While not quite as large as the Coro-
nado it will do for starter.
A train load of hay was shipped from
the Alamitos Beach station on the Ter
minal, Thursday.
Mrs. William Pratt and Mr.. Berry,
who have been here at the Flying Fish
cottage, left for Arizona last Wednes-
day.
Mics F. @. Morehead has leased the
Bay View house and will furnish rooms
for tourists this winter.
Mr., Mrs. and Miss Savage and Miss
Pike, of Berkeley, Cal, are at the Fly
ing Fish.
Long Beach, as it becomes known, is
much sought after in the winter sea-
son by invalids who derive much
benefit from its balmy breezes and the
salubrity of its climate.
The construction train Of the Terminal
now runs on the island. MEMO.

The majority of Swedish towns are
still built of wood; but some few there
are which, owing to the destruction of
the old houses by fire, have been re-
built in more substantial manner. In
the breadth of the streets of these new
towns and in some other matters the
Swedish architects have set an example
which might with advantage be fol-
lowed by more southern peoples. One
cannot but regret the destruction of the
old wooden houses with their strange
gables and quaint little windows; but
what the antiquary has lost the people
have no doubt gained in improved sani-
tation and such like things.-Chambers
Journal.

A DRESSING CLOSET.

ing table and washstand contrivance is
worthy of being copied. A closet was
devoted to the purpose. Light pine
boarding was used to make shelf or
washstand top with narrow shelves
above for comb and brush, glasses and
bottles, and pin cushion. The space
between is filled with good looking
glass set in like a panel. Below the
large shelf first named is central space
left unshelved to the floor. Here can be
hung busters, brushes, etc., safely hid
behind curtain. The spaces each side,
divided from the center by upright
boards, are shelved and curtained. Brass
hooks on the door serve to hold towels,
unless one should prefer to hang them
under the central curtain. If so the door
hooks will hold dresses nicely. When
done the small shelves are covered with
light colored muslin. The large shelf
where toilet china is set is to be covered
with white enameled cloth and over
this fresh towel can be placed.

eaten before this the original pumpkin
pies of old New England. A jack-o'-

Mrs. Edward Burgess.

Mrs. Edward Burgess, wife of the
lamented yacht designer, who revolu-
tionized American yacht building, was
reigning beauty in her girlhood. At
the ball given Duke Alexis of Russia at
New York on the occasion Of his visit to
this country, Mrs. Burgess, then Miss
Kitty Sullivant, was the nobleman's
choice for the opening dance. She was
the daughter Of Mr.. William Sullivant,
the distinguished scientist, whose father
was one of the early founders of Ohio's
capital. Her mother was of an old New
York family. Kitty Sullivant had raw
ishing golden hair. She was the original

The Injured Birmingham Dam Under

B BIRMINGHAM, Conn.,, Jan. 27.-There
was great excitement here owing to an
other rise of the Housatonic river,
caused by the storm and melting snow.
Considerable apprehension was felt re-
garding the dam, fears prevailing that
more of the wall would given away.
Last night none of the people residing
in the vicinity of the dam remained in
their houses. sleeping at the hotels or at
the homes of friends. A number of men
were appointed a guard to watch the
dam and spread the alarm should the
worst fears be realized.
At Colebrook river the ice gorge broke
and flooded all the cellars in the town,
swept away barns and drowned horses
and hogs. Many farmers lost heavily.
The damage to the bridges near Bark

sex County. In Newark large gangs of
linemen are at work in different parts of
the city repairing the wires, but in spite
of the work done communication between
Newark and outside places by telegraph
and telephone is cut off. The work of
repairing the wires is necessarily slow,
for the reason that many poles which
were broken down will have to be re-
erected.
The electric light, fire alarm, telegraph
and telephone service in Paterson are
still seriously crippled on account of the
wires being down. Not a telephone in
the city is in working order, and last
night the city was again in darkness.
The amount of damages and losses to the
different companies will be many thou
sands of dollars.
For the past two days Trenton has
been cut off from communication by wire
with the outside world. The telephone
and telegraph companies could not
handle any business yesterday.
