CLASHiNG RELIGIONS.
Trouble Between the Molammedans and

Trouble Between the Mohammedans and
Brahmins.
Hindoo and Mohammedan supersti-
tions have met near Calcutta with such
a clash that they were subsequently
brought into court A desirable piece
of land lay waste because it was re-
puted to be haunted by Hindoo god
dess who objected to settlers The
Rindoos did all they could to propitiate
her, setting apart a tree for her abode,
under which they erected an idol in her
honor, to which they made offerings of
fruit and flowers Still the god
dess continued implacable, and, one
man venturing to cultivate some
of the land, he and his children
died. Eventually some Mohammedans,
laughing at the Hindoo superstition,
undertook to reclaim the land, but,
somehow or other, the goddess mani
tested herself in way to scare them
off. That made the Mohammedans
more determined and defiant than ever.
So they took sacred HindoO beast, a
COW, to the goddess tree, and killed it
there, placing parts of the carcass
among the branches. and even smearing
the idol with its blood. This SO out
ragged the feelings of the Hindoos that
they invoked the penal code, and five
Mohammedans were sentenced to inn
prisonment for ''outraging religious sus-
capabilities. Chicago Times.
The Mohammedan Wedding Ceremony.
There was a Mohammedan wedding
in London the other day. and the bride
repeated after the crimson-clad Mou-
live: 81 stand here in the presence of
God and all who are assembled, to unite
my heart to your heart and my destiny
to your destiny and to be called by your
name. Your sorrow shall be my sor-
row and your happiness, my happi-
neSS"-Christian Union.

THE chairman of the republican con-
vention last Saturday wanted the dele
gates to locate the candidates advan
tageously, and as a result they nomi-
mated one man who is a resident of
Oregon. If they had located another
one in New York and another down in
Georgia they would then have the
ticket pretty well scattered. Some Of
the delegates reason, and rightly too.
that the democrats will ''scatter" the
republican ticket about November 3D..

, The ticket named Saturday will
have to be stacked and go through the
sweat before we can offer it in the
market. 1t contains some smut and
cheat, and will probably shrink some.
We may conclude to offer it as old rye

FROM all appearances the ticket was
pretty carefully stacked" by Morgan
and his men. Whether or not it will
stand the breezes of public investiga-
dion that will blow upon it during the
next month or SO remains to be seen.
Our belief is that it will shrivel up and
become more ''smutty'' as it goes
through ''the sweat so that by the
tame it it is ''thrashed''- which it Ger
calmly will be on the Sd of November
it will not command any price, even as
''old rye.''

You can wait now for the democrats
to make their ticket, and then take
your choice. You will not be confined
to either ticket wholly, but can exercise
your judgment and make ticket from
che three. The question of competency,
Is between tickets, will not cut much
Of figure this time. But the question
of throwing away your vote entirely,
will be a matter of consideration.
When the democrats enter the field it
will then be in order for those who are
NOT partisan blinded to select a ticket
shat can be elected. Evening News.
WHEN the democrat ticket is nomi
mated there will be no question as to
who the people will support, and no one
oeed worry about Throwing away his
vote" Wait until the democrat ticket
IS nominated and then you will have
no trouble to make your choice.

The Southern Pacific Company has long
nad serious problem to consider in obtain
ing proper and cheap fuel for It's locomo-
tiVes. No bed Of coal has ever been discovered
IN California that could furnish a supply of
proper fuel sufficient for this company and
thousands upon thousands of dollars have
oeen spent IN trying to open up coal mines
on the side OF Mount Diable, but always
without success. The coal now used comes
mostly from Victoria, and is brought
to West Oakland in steamers built
especially for that trade, and from
west Oakland the coal is sent over
the road. Coal is by far the largest item
OF expense that the Southern Pacific COM
pany is called upon tostand; aud the COM
pany has now turned its attention to the
manufacture of artificial fuel. A plant has
been purchased in England and the varions
parts are beginning to arrive at the Long
wharf. where 1t will be set up. It is for the
manufacture OF an artificial fuel from coal
dust and asphaltum, and if this process is
as successful on this coast as it has been on
the continent it will be an enormous saving
fer the Southern Pacific Company. The
machinery was manufactured in England,
and Is being shipped to be set up.

A PEHNILEsS DOCTOR.
Arrested for Chloroforming the Mem
phs Banker
From the Pittsburo Dispatch.

From the Pittsburo Dispatch.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 15.-Col. R. Dudley
Fraser, the richest banker in the city and
president of the Memphis City Bank, was
induced Thursday to visit room 1854, Gayoso
hotel, ostensibly to transact business with
one calling himself J. A. Morris of New
Orleans, who represented himself as a
brother of the Morris of the Louisiana Lot
terry Company. On the second interview
the stranger drew two pistols and demanded
that Mr. Fraser sign a check for $4,000.
Col Fraser refused, whereupon,
saying that his family was starry
ing and he was desperate, he re.
duced the sum to $500. Col. Fraser in
dorsed the strangers check then, but in a
style that he knew the teller would not
honor. The check was not cashed, and the
stranger then chloroformed the colonel and
robbed him of S65. The coloneIs cries
brought help, but the robber told the pro-
prietor that his friend had the jimjams, and
the colonel was so scared he was afraid to
contradict him.
The funniest part was that after the rob-
Der departed, the hotel attaches kept the
colonel a prisoner under the impression
that he was insane. The story was such a
wild and woolly one that many refused to
believe it, but the check was there to show
for itself.
The denouement came tonight in the ar
rest of DR.. j. e. Clemens, practiciug ply
stefan OF this city, at his home on Vance
street. On Aug. Clemens closed his trout
shutters, sent MS wife to Holly Springs and
put sign out: "Will be away from the
city several weeks" Then he went to house
keeping on the back-door plan. This cor
roborates the story that he was hard pressed
financially, his avowed reason for pretend
ing to be out of the city being to keep cred
itors from the door. Early Thursday morn
ing Clemens left his house leaving a note
with neighbor that he would not return
till night. 1t was early Thursday morning
that Morris registered at the hotel That
evening at dark his neighbors noticed that
bis beard was dyed. Friday morning they
observed that be had his beard amputated
entirely.
These and other suspicious circumstances
led to his arrest. His wife told the detec-
tive that he was out Of the city at first, but
afterward produced him. Neither he nor
his wife expressed any surprise nor asked
any questions as to the cause of the arrest.
At police headquarters, in spite of his
change of whiskers, he was identified by
the hotel employees, and in addition the
small valse he carried was identified by the
hOusakpaDar

siyen said L. J. Bruce, who has just re-
turned from the Orient. American customs
are coming into vogue over there. and even
our methods of filtration, with some slight
notifications, becoming popular. The Jap
anese u1aiden is exceedingly coy, and it is
difficult for a foreigner to gain an entrance
to society; but flirtations are by no means
uncommon"
"Howa Well, If a young man sees a
pretty Japanese girl on the street he may
follow her at a respectful distance. Pres
emily he will meet an eidery woman, to
whom he must impa-t the information that
be mas lost his heart and is miserable. The
old woman will ask what has become CT

the girl, at the same time slipping
a quarter in the formers hand She will
disappear, and in a few moments re-
turn with the information that If he will be
at a certain fashionable tea house on the
following day be may recover his heart.
The pretty maiden will appear with
chaperon, and the young man is at liberty
to address her. She will probably meet
him often in this way, bur always with
protectress, whose vigilance is never re-
Taxed. If the aspiring youth is circumspeot,
be may eventually call. and so gradually
