Historical Signs.

Most readers must have seen the
common jewellers sign, a big wooden
Watch-face hanging over the door Of
the shop, and perhaps some of them
have noticed that the position of the
hands is always or almost always
alike. How this happens to be the
case is explained by the New York
World
@ AT SIS on the evening of April Ii,
1865, Abraham Lincoln was assassi-
mated at Washington. Since that
night every one OF these watch signs
that has gone from the shop of the
only man that makes them, says the
World, has Indicated the hourof S:19.
The maker says that he was then
at work upon a sign for a Broadway
!eweller, who came running i'm to tell
him the news.
"P amt those hands at the hour
Lincoln was shot," said the custom
er Chat The deed may never be for
gotten. !"

iacturer, with, the result above men

THANKSGIVING.

The year decays, November's blast
Through leatiess boughs pipes shrll and
drcar;
With warmer love the home clasps fast
The hands, the hearts, the friends most
dear,
On many seas men sail the fleet
OfhopeS as fruitless as the foam;
They roam the world with restless feet
But find no sweeter spot than home
To-day with quickened hearts they hear
Old times, old voices chime and call:
The dreams many q vanished year
Sit by them at this festival.
Though hearts that warmed them once are
cold,
Though heads are hoar with winter frost
That once were bright with tangled gold
Thanks for the blessings kept or lost,
Thanks for the strong free wind of life.
However it change or veer; ts
Fer the love of mother and sister and wife;
Clear stars that to haven steer;
For the quenchleSs lamps Of changeless
love
That burn in the night ofthe dead;
For The life that is for the hope above,
BE thanksgiving by all hearts said.

A Sheriff at the Feast,

Among the letters found in the ef-
fects Of the late Emery "A. Storrs, the
Chicago lawyer, was one from Chaun-
cey M. Depew asking for an account
of,the dinner Storrs gave the Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge, Of England.
The dinner referred to is one that be-
came famous in Chicago because Of
the presence OF a remarkable skeleton
at the feast in the person OF con-
stable sent by one Of Storrs' creditors
to stop the festivities until his claim
should be paid. The presence Of the
man Of law caused CONSERVATION at
the banquet. Storrs had no money
and ruin stared him III the face until
several OF the guests got together and
became security for the debt.

WANTED BLOOD.
A Young Actor Who Swore to Be
AVENGED

| Avenged
There is young actor in New York
who has developed a moral antipathy
toward that most delicate of tints, pale
pink. When it is referred to in his
presence he becomes embarrassed and
exhibits a strong inclination to slide
through some convenient crack in the
hoor. The tale that hangs thereby
Is a touching one. The young actor
regards himself as lady killer of the
deepest dye, and, in the patois of the
profession, "earns his salary at
Saturday matinees" In the company
with him is a comedian with a passion
for the practical joke
One day in q facetious moment he
wrote what is known as g. "mash
note to the young actor, and signed
a feminine name thereto. The bait
was swallowed, and the correspon-
dence between the firtatious youth
and his mysterious admirer kept the
company in roars for week. Finally
one Of the letters from the fair one
ended as follows:
II shall be in q box at the matinee
and shall wear aredrose at my throat.
Ii you receive this, please have bit
OF pale pink, ribbon in your button
hole. Yours from affair.
''CLARIssA.
The young man has the opening
scene OF the play, and at the matinee
specified dashed on with a pale pink
ribbon adjoining his lapel. In the
middle OF his first speech he glanced at
the boxes and discovered four women,
each with q real rose at her throat
ahd deeply sentimental SMILE Every
one OF them was decorated with apale
pink knot, bow or streamers. The
young actor went all to pieces, forgot
his lines and swore to have the red,
red blood of the man who put up the
game on HIM.
In the last act the victim has a very
pathetic scene and was just in the
middle Of it when the leading lady's
pug dog strayed on the stage. His
funny little tail was ornamented with
a big pale pink bow and his entrance
had a most disastrous effect. Three
scenes were cut bodily, and the mama
ger fined the young man for breaking
up the performance. He is still look
ing for <'Clarissa. Brandon Buck

amateur nine that used to visit neigh
boring towns and villages on Satur-
days and there engage in play with an
equal number of maniacs similarly af-
fected, beating and being beaten. The
members Of the Excelsior club-all
amateur clubs are called either Ex-
cesiors or Unions-were proud of their

OF their village, and their village was
proud OF them. Indeed, I think that

THE treasurer of the Chicago orange
carnival handed in his report yesterday
to the executive committee of the state
citrus fair. 1t is very lengthy, and a
comprehensive resume of it is published
in other columns. Whilst many OF the
items given are open to criticism on the
score of excessive charges, yet the report
places the carnival management in a
more favorable light with the public
than it was before its figures with
explanatory notes were published. The
managers Incidentally admit that they
were the victims OF sharp Chicago busi-
ness tactics when they say that
they could do better if they had
the thing to do over again. No doubt.
They placed themselves too much in the
power of the exposition building people,
who exacted every pound of flesh they
could claim under one-sided contract.
The actual difference between the re-
ceipts and expenditures is $1293.79
against the carnival. This is much
less deficit than appeared from the first
lump figures sent out. There is one
part OF their report which is of interest.
The managers found very different
method of business amongst the news
papers from that they had been used to
here. They say they could not get
line of recognition for the carnival in
the reading columns of the papers until
thew had satisfied the monauers of tho
advertising department.

in Canada for one half of the price for
which they sold tin the Empire state
aid elsewhere in the United States.
Such freaks of legislation would be in
explicable until it is understood that the
Republican party occupies as to states
manship and patriotism just such a
relation as Moliere's Tartuffe bore to
morals and virtue.
When, to the downright robbery of
the Mckinley bill, one takes an oblique
glance at the trusts and combines which
have been the latest fruits of Republican
legislation, one realizes the immense
obligations the people OF the United
States lie under to the party of ''Great
Moral IDEAS" yclept the party of
hypocrisy and pretense. Dean Swift
once expressed great anxiety lest the
British government should tax the very
air of Ireland. Ii he had known the
Mckinley Republicans of the present
day his anxiety would have been lest
the very lungs that breathed that air
should be taxed.

THERE were three monuments un-
yelled yesterday-one to General Grant,
at Galena, Illinois; one to the confeder-
ate dead, at Jackson, Mississippi, and
one to Junipero Sierra, at Monterey, in
this state. Two in commemoration of
war, the other of peace and good will.
Friar Sierra was the real founder of Cali
fornia. He established the missions
and subdued the Indians, not with the
sword but the cross. He laid the
foundations OF civilization in wilder
ness, and lived to see his work crowned
with success. He was type of those
indomitable missionaries who have for
centuries penetrated the countries of the
widest tribes, and faced unutterable
hardships, with unhagging will and the
loftiest courage, in the service OF the
Master and civilization. Their triumphs
are such as Milton alludes to in his
grand poetic burst when he says that
"peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war"

The FARMERS and fruit growers of
Placer and the adjoining counties are
suffering from a grasshopper scourge.
They are crossing the country in great
swarms, and although they are yet
small in size and without wings to
speak of, they are making it very inter-
esting for green leaves and twigs. They
are doing much damage to small trees
and to vines. What was few days ago
only considered hopper scare has now
assumed an aspect of great danger to all
the crops in the valleys and foothills of
the central and northern counties.
Southern California seems to be free
from this scourge, as we have heard no
complaint OF it's appearance anywhere
in this section.

THREE Of the twenty odd senators who
are being sued by George Faylor for his
share of the Doodle paid in by corporate
and other interests to further or squelch
legislation in the late legislature, posi-
lively declined to answer any questions
put to them by the counsel for plaintiff
before commissioner to take testimony
in the suit. The senators who were
placed on the stand and refused to an
swer the questions put to them
were John T. Broderick, Thomas G.
Maher and J. w. Welch, all of
San Francisco. The names of some
of the other senators who are
made defendants in the suit are
w. o. Banks, David Everett, John
S. Hamill, ]. w. Ragsdale, George
III. Williams and +. T. Sprague. Maher,
Broderick and Welch refused to answer
some very suggestive questions, such as;
s'Did you receive the money from Rich
ard Chute?" 'Did you on behalf of the
coparinership ii. e. of senatorial bood-
lers) employ D. M. Burns to act as agent
during the session of the legislature?'
'"Was it the business of Mr.. Chute and
Mr.. Burns to arrange business for the
copartnership and your duty to report
to the copartners to ascertain if they
considered the business satisfactory ?"
s'Did you or your alleged partners have
any dealings with the Southern Pacific
railroad company, the Pacific Coast
Bookmakers' association, the gentle
men interested in the counties Of Colusa
and Glenn, the gentlemen interested in
the creation of the county of Riverside,
or the gentlemen interested in the cleo
lion of a senator to succeed Mr.. George
Hearst?" These are all very interest
ing and pertinent questions, and ones
that the people would be glad to have
answers to. 1t would be very easy for
The senators to have said "No" to each
yuestion if their hands were clean.
Faylor claims that he was the agent OF
he copartnership, and was to have a
hare of the "swag;" but that the COM
sine left him out when it came to di-
yision of the plunder. He says that his
expenses in the interest OF the copart-
lership and his share OF the spoils would
