Excessively Polite.

It is well to be always polite, but there
are times when it is better to be natural
than to attempt the elaboration Of social
courtesies. The safest rule in any case
is to be simple and do the obvious thing;
this will not only be most sincere, but
will often save one from appearing ridic-
ulous.
A gentlemen who wished to give pleas.
ure to young lady of his acquaintance,
Miss Mott. arranged a boating party in
her honor The guests were chosen with
her approval and everything was done
to her liking.
Unfortunately the wind proved treach.
erous, and about the middle of the day
the party found themselves becalmed on
q sea which rose and fell in the long
ground swell that is sure to prove too
much for all but experienced sailors. It
was not long before most.of the party
were i'll, Miss Mott being one of the
first to succumb. She lay in wretched
heap on the deck of the yacht, refusing
to be moved, her hair in disarray and
her whole appearance that of unutter-
able misery
II am so sorry that you are i'll, Miss
Mott" the host said. "When I wish to
give you pleasure again / will not pro-
pose water party"
With supreme effort Miss Mott
raised her CHASTITY face, about which the
hair struggled, wet with the sweat of
agony. An attempt at smile showed
itself on her white lips.
"Oh, / am having perfectly lovely
time," she said feebly.
The earnestness with which she spoke
was too much for the gravity Of her
companions and, sick or well, they burst
into laugh, which SO overcame Miss
Mott that she fell to weeping bitter
! tears.-Youth's Companion.

He Murders and Plumbers an Aged
Chinaman.
NEVADA, CAL, Feb. 19.-Last evening
a messenger arrived with the news that
a brutal crime had been perpetrated at
the Wilson ranch. Henry Willis, aged
10, went to house occupied by Chinese
gardeners who have the ranch leased,
and finding an aged Chinaman alone,
asked for a cigar, which was refused.
Willis took trunk from under bed.
The Chinaman interfered and struggle
ensued. Willis picked up an AK and
fractured the old mans skull. He
dragged the trunk to a neighbours and
took therefrom over $500 in coin, with
which he fed to Dutch Flat, eighteen
miles distant. Sheriff Dunster pursued
him, and finding him in bed at home
early this morning, arrested and brought
him back. Young Willis has served a
term in the Placer county Jail for petty
larceny, and is suspected of having been
engaged in numerous theits here. The
Chlnaman will die.

WEDDING BELLS.
Marriage Of Los Angeles Divine to a
Louisville Belle.

The Louisville Commercial of Feb
ruary 1lth gives tile following report Of
the wedding of DR.. Chichester and Miss
Gray in that city on the previous day.
We learn that the newly married couple
will return to Los Angeles in two weeks:
St. Pauls church was crowded yester-
day afternoon with the friends OF Miss
Agnes Wallace Gray, to witness her
marriage to the Rev. Dr. w. j. Chiches-
ter, OF Los Angeles, Cal. The bride is
the eldest daughter of Weldon B. Gray,
of this city, and the groom is probably
the best known Presbyterian preacher
on the Pacific coast. Miss Gray is a
member Of the old Louisville family of
that name, and is related to many of the
most prominent families of the city.
She is very handsome and accomplished,
and has been very popular here. She
became acquainted with DR.. Chichester
while visiting in Los Angeles some time
ago.
The groom is young man, graduate
of Allegheny university and Princeton,
and has had wonderfully successful
ministry. While in Philadelphia he was
regarded as the most popular preacher
in the city, and since he began his labors
in Los Angeles he has become quite
famous. He is now pastor of the Eman-
uel Presbyterian church, which he built
up from very small beginning.
The ceremony took place at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and was one of the
simplest and most beautiful weddings
that has taken place here this year.
Miss Gray was attended by her sister,
Miss Mary Gray, and her cousin, Miss
Lille Bondurant, Miss Mary Parker of
Chicago, and Miss Daisy Dunn of New
York city. The ushers were Messrs.
Augereau Gray. Owen Cochran, Law
renee Anderson and Gray Barnett. The
Rev. DR.. Perkins, rector of st. Paul's,
assisted by the Rev.. DR.. Hamilton, of
the Warren Memorial Presbyterian
church, performed the ceremony.
The presents received here were ele-
CANT and numerous, and Los Angeles
friends have written to their acquaint-
ances here that numerous testimonials
| of affection are awaiting the popular
young divine and his bride at his home.

CHIcAao, Feb. 19.-A squad OF car

only American citizens, and this, it is
believed, will avert further trouble;
The labor unions, it is reported, are
not, however, entirely satisfied with the
clause prohibiting alien labor. They
want a definite statement that union
labor will be employed, and the eight

During the past century there has
been great revolution in the depart
ment of medicine, as in everything else.
The old methods, to great extent, have
been laid away forever, and guided by
new scientific discoveries, and the ele-
walton OF hitherto hidden truths, the
people OF today see clearly and surely,
where before they saw through the glass
darkly. Among the greatest exemplars
OF this new regime are the Drs. Darrin,
who have their Office at Hotel Ramona,
corner Third and Spring streets, Los
Angeles.
For the benefit Of those who are not
already acquainted with their mode of
operating by electro-magnetism, and
who may be seeking aid, though dis
trustful, after many failures of every
body and everything, DR.. Darrin makes
the extraordinary and most generQe =
offer to treat the afflicted free OF charX
between the hours of 10 and IL q. nh.
each day, until further notice, to prove
to the community at large his ability
and skill. That the Drs. Darrin have
effected extraordinary cures after all
efforts elsewhere have failed, is fact
supported by the strongest evidence.
Their cures, moreover, are rapid and
permanent, as shown by the following
testimonials:
