CITIZENS WATER COMPANY.
Trustee Kays Explains Why He Has
Made No Offer.

Ex-Sheriff J. G. Kays, who is the
bondholders' trustee in charge OF the
Citizens Water company, was asked
yesterday why, as stated in the report
of the special water committees report
to the council on Monday, he had de-
clined to enter into any negotiations for
the sale of the system to the city.
"Icouldnotnegotiate until three months
after l took charge of the company" he
answered. FThe trust deed under which
lwork expressly states that in event of
my taking control that 1 must remain
three months. If in that time the sys-
tenn can be made to earn operating ex-
penses and to pay the interest due to
the bondholders, well and good; if it
cannot, at the expiration. of the ninety
days the property will be sold to the
highest bidder, and if the city or anyone
else wishes the property they can then
have chance to buy. l have already
served about a month, so only sixty
days remain in which to settle the
matter"

AN ARCTIC CATASTROPHE.
The Crews of Two Whaling Steamers
Massacred by Natives.

M6bBhCFeu DS NatlScs
CHICAGO, August 25.-A Washington
special says A catastrophe is reported
by the treasury department from the
Arctic regions. 1t is said that the crews
OF two small steam whalers wintering
near the mouth of the Mackenzie, about
500 miles east of Point Barrow, have
been massacred by the natives in that
region. The steamers, the property OF
the Pacific Whaling company, carried
sixty men as crews. They were we'll
armed, equipped and provisioned.
Heretofore the natives have been very
friendly to the whites, many of them
are we'll armed, having been supplied
with rifles by trading vessels which
have exchanged whisky and guns
for furs. While it is new thing for
whalers to winter in the Arctic as far
east as these two steamers have, white
men have spent the winter on the shore
with the natives, and have lived with a
good degree of comfort. Whaling crews
encamped on the land would not be un-
der such strict discipline as might be
enforced on shipboard, and if their in
tercourse with the natives was offensive,
they have probably been overpowered
by superior numbers.

rour and a Hair Per Cent?.

WASHINGTON, August 25.-The amount
of Az per cent. bonds continued at 2 per
cent. to date is $2l 1886, 100, and Secre-
tary Foster said this afternoon it was his
impression that the amount would run
over $50, 100000 before the transaction
closed. Ii his expectations are realized,
there will be less than 500, 1000, 900
to redeem. The secretary said there
would be no difficulty in meeting this
payment, or larger one, if necessary,
without recourse to the 500, ,000, 600 gold
reserve: and the $l7 100000 on deposit

London Papers Glad to Hear of the
Battle in Chile.
LONDON, August 25.-The papers here
welcome the news of the battle which
began Friday last near Valparaiso be-
tween the government troops and the
Chilean insurgents. They believe the
battle is so iercely waged that there is
an indication Of speedy end of the
struggle which is bringing such disas-
trous results to Chill. The news of the
battle, when received here, had ia
vorable influence upon the stock ex-
change; the prices of Chilean bonds
advanced slightly. 1t is believed that a
big recovery in these bonds will occur
when things have settled down, al
though the conditions which prevail in
other South American republics will
prevent speedy return to the prices
that ruled before the breaking ont of
the trouble

FORSYTHE NOT WANTED.
A Request for His Resignation Cir.
culated,

Information reached this city yester-
day that one of California's representa-
tives in the worlds fair commission will
be called upon to resign the appoint
ment. The gentleman in question is
Commissioner Forsythe, who made an
unsuccessful fight for the chieftainship
OF the horticultural department of the
big exposition.
A letter from the state board of trade
to the chamber of commerce of this city
conveys the statement made above, and
it has been confirmed by persons who
are thoroughly reliable and who stand
well with the powers that be.
So far as can be leaned, no reason
has leaked out as to why Mr.. Forsythe
should be asked to resign, but certain it
is that such request has been made.
A second letter to the chamber of COM
merce announces the candidacy of T. E.
B. Rice, Of Modesto, for the place, and
requests the support of the chamber in
his behalf.

LONDON, August 25.-The Pail Mall
Gazette today says the prince OF Wales
is taking great interest in the matter OF
the persecution of the Jews in Russia
and the conditions OF the emigrants of
that nationality who are coming to Eng
land. Although he has not taken any
direct measures to assist the needy Jews,
fearing that such action on his part
would wound the feelings of the Rus
SLAMS, he has indirectly given much as
sistance TO the Anglo-Jewish commit
tees.
A London clergyman residing in the
province OF Kazan, Russia, has written
q letter to the Pail Mall Gazette, in
which he gives a narrowing description
of the sufferings of the unfortunate
peasants, brought on by the failure of
crops. Large numbers are in an abso-
lutte state of starvation. Many in their
efforts to sustain life have been COM
PEELED to eat grass and leaves. There is
much excitement through the province
among the poorer class, and an out
break may occur at any time.

A SUCCESS.
KINGS ROYAL GERMETUER

Is established as a remarkable success. Thou
sands of testimonials attest its virtues. Many OF
these are given by men and women of highest
standing fin the most honored walks of life. In
the midst of a fourishing and rapidly increasing
business the price is reduced from 81 so to 81 co
per bottle. This is done in the interest of those
whose circumstances in life deter them from
paying the higher price. The rich who have
tried it will buy at ana price, but the managers
feel that medicine which possesses such Won
derful powers should be placed within the reach
of the poor. Many have said that "Germetuer
was the cheap pest medicine on the market. When
it is remembered that bottle of concentrated
Germetuer makes gallon of medicine ready for
use. it is certainly cheap per than ordinary medi-
cines as to bulk; and when the powers of the
medicins are taken into account the price is in
considerable. The present price is the result OF
the unparalleled success of the remedy and the
business.
Germetuer is the coming success that has
already come. ask your druggist for it, and if he

New Haven, Conn, is celebrated for hav
ing given the name of 'Punkin Head'' to
all New Englanders. 1t originated from
The Blue laws, which enjoined every male
20 have his hair cut round by a cap. When
caps were not to be had they substituted
me hard shell of a 'punkin," which, being
pat on the head every Saturday, all hair
which protruded was clipped close to the
shells edge. Peters, in his "History of
Connecticut" says:
What religious virtue was supposed to
be derived from the custom, | know not;
but there is much prudence in it. First, it
prevents the hair from snarling; second,
it saves the use of combs; third, it can
not incommode the eyes by falling over
them, and fourth, such persons that
have lost their ears for heresy and other
wickedness cannot conceal their misfort
une and disgrace.-St. Louis Republic.

The Xyay to Pack Apples,

Passing through Washington market !
noticed man in one of The big commission
stores packing apples in barrel. What
struck me as being decidedly peculiar about
this ordinarily commonplace operation was
the fact that he picked out the biggest
apples and put them in the bottom of the
barrel. "Why do you put the big ones in
the bottom:" inquired with no little curl
osity. He gave me a knowing wink as he
replied: 'Oh, they open the barrels at the
bottom nowadays" No further explana-
ton was necessary.-New York World.
