the boat was passing he stood quietly
leaning against the railing OF the bridge,

The President AS Well Paid.


e. There seems TO be "a popular sup
position prevalent throughout the coun-
try that the president of ahe United
States should get q larger salary, prin-
cipally, it would appear, because the
idea is that his expenses while IN the
White House are SO large that ile must
be rich man in order sO support the
establishment in a manner 6eaiftlng the
position. This is not sss- After Il care
full investigation of the subject the
writer has come to- the conclusion that
a president who cannot 1--we of the
salary OF his office is "a spencthrift, Or
else has the faculty OF surrounding
himself with people and servants VINO

management. IndeeaS, there as no rea-
son why president of the United
States should not enter office without a
cent of fortune, and Leave ii with at least
a hundred thousand dollars to his
credit.

Preventative Effects OF Sleep.

From ST. Louis POSt-Dlsparch.
Patti and Lucca, and all the great
singers and actresses and famous
beauties who, like Madam Recamier,
were wondrously beautiful at an age
when the ordinary women retire
from the festive scenes of the beau
monde, understood the value Of this
great restorer, and owed their we'll
preserved beauty to sleep. An unu-
suallv handsome St. Louis woman, who
has at the age of almost fifty years the
fine, well-rounded figure and elastic
step and carriage of a girl, the delicate
rose hued skin and the brilliancy of
youth in her eyes, says that she has
made it the rule to retire at 8 O'Clock,
except on very rare occasions, and then
she takes a nap in the afternoon TO pre-
vent the i'll effects ofthe late hours which
are to follow. Our American women
of all classes need more than any other
people in the world the rest and re-
freshment which only sleep can give to
overweight nerves and overwrought
systems, for nowhere else do the women
live under so much physical and mental
st rain

BROWNING'S VOICE.
It Again Speaks TO His Admirers from
Photograph.

1t Again Speaks to His Admirers from
Photograph.
London Corr. Baltimore American.
Saturday was the first anniversary of
the death of Robert Browning, 1.-The
writer Of plays" as he once dubbed
himself. The anniversary was celebra-
ted by several friends, and back from
the portals of the distant and dim land of
shades comes the loved and Well-remem-
bered voice preserved by the magician
of Menlo Park. 1t was on the 9th of
April that Miss Ferguson, at the
studio Of Rudolph Lehman. sue
ceeded in persuading Browning to speak
into a photograph, and it was at the
Edison house, Northumberland Avenue,
that the experiment was plade yester-
day. The poets voice was heard in the
tones that were 80 characteristic Of him,
and which were SO well-known and SO
we'll remembered by everyone who was
present. The lines he spoke into the
instrument were a portion of his own
poem: How they brought the good
news from Client to AK The instru
ment, which, not being human, never
lies and never exaggerates or changes
when it repeats what has been told it,,
proved that Browning spoke the first
two lines;
II jumped IN the kaddie. ana Joris and he;
I salloped,, Dick galloped, we galloped all
straight off, but when he came to the
third line there was a stumble, and
presently came the words 4 forget"
He tried to remember the line, which
every schoolboy throughout the En-
glish-speaking world can repeat without
the slightest hesitation, but be broke
down again. The instrument repeated
the apology he made for forgetting his
poems and the eulogy he delivered on
Ellison and what he termed his "won-
derful invention" Then there was a
pause, while the cylinder continued to
revolve, and presently came Il loud
Robert Browning" as if the poet had
with his own voice signed his name to
the effort. This was followed by cries
of "Brayo" and loud shouts Of Hip,
hip, hurrah,' and the noise of clappi,g
of hands, with which Mr.. Lehman's
guests had at the time greeted the con-
clusion of the experiment.
The cylinder was made to repeat the
voice of the dead poet three times, the
photograph being manipulated by Miss
Ferguson as she did when it received
the impressions produced by the vibra-
tons Of Robert Browning,s voice. Then
it was carefully taken off and put away,
to remain in its box until the 18th OF
December next year.

The Idol OF France.
From the Century

Bv his manners and ways of lie
he became most popular man IN
France. SO that when he gained his pre-
sentauon to the king his future was as
snred. AS he passed through the streets
of Paris he was followed by admlrlnlg
ewes and cheered loudly by enthusiastic
voices. A contemporary writes: "A
friend of mine paid something Tor Il
nlace in a two-p air-of-stairs window to
See him pass by in his coach, but the
crowd was so great that ne could Dut
barely say he saw him. tie was the
Frenchman's embodiment of the ideal
citizen, republican, philosopher ana
friend.
He completely captivated and cap
ured the people of France, whom ne
nerfectly understood, and he well knew
!asthat a popular man becomes soon 90
more powerful than power, itself.
Gondorcet said: 1T was an honor to
have seen him. People repeated what
thev heard him say. Every tete which
he consented to receive, every mouse
where consented to go, spread IN so
e;etv new admirers, who became so
many partisans of the American Kevo-
luton. ----

the Lankershim fats from complete de-
struction with the heavy southwest
wind constantly blowing burning cinders
on the roof.
7. G. Jenlison, in carrying some fra
gile articles down stairs, lost his footing
near the head OF the stairs, and per-
formed the remainder of the journey on
his back. The goods he carried were un-
injured.
One gentleman who lost $1,000 worth
of furniture in the flames feels more
chag-ined over his loss than he might
otherwise, because OF the fact that he is
by occupation an insurance agent, and
did not have cent of insurance on his
own property.
An active member of the salvage corps
was F. H. Coulter, who helped carry out
furniture and household effects long
after the shower from the fire hose had
commenced. He was struggling last
evening with a severe sore throat, in
duced by drenched clothing.
The hottest place at the fire was on
Seventh street, between the church and
the flats. Notwithstanding that they
could hardly breathe four or five fire.
men maintained position at this place
with hose playing steadily on the
Lankershim building Their courage
alone probably saved that structure.
Three Cinnamon were discovered at
the fire rummaging about the rear of the
Lankershim house trying to see what
they could steal. The police drove
them away three times, but they as
often returned, till at.last one of the
officers used his boot on one of them to
such good effect that they created no
more trouble.
Pickpockets made themselves especi-
ally numerous at the fire and four cases
of ladies being robbed have been re-
ported. One lady lost purse contain
ing $5 in gold. She says that she held
her hand upon it nearly all the time,
only removing it to point out something
to friend, but when she put her hand
to her pocket again the money was
gone.
One of the indirect sufferers by the
fire is Mrs. Bennett, of the county tax
collectors Office, who occupied rooms in
the bakery building west of the Lanker-
SHIN flats. Mrs. Bennett fitted up her
place with new and costly furniture
only short time ago. She succeeded
in getting it all out OF the building, but
in badly demoralized condition. 1t
will be remembered that Mrs. Ben
nett's husband was killed by Indians in
Sonora, Mexico, several years ago. She
has found a temporary home with
friends in Boyle Heights until she can
gather the remnant of her effects to-
gether and resume housekeeping.

THE FIRES ORIGIN.
The origin of the fire could not be def
initely ascertained yesterday.
All accounts agree that the first smoke
came from the rear of the Norton block,
and the neighbors said that gasoline
stove which had been located there had
exploded.
Mr. Niles Pease stated that the first
flames seen were in the rear of the Nor
ton block, underneath the staircase

The Druggists

In Lowell, Mass, agree in saying that they sell
more of Hoods sarsaparilla than of all other
blood purifiers. For instance:
&C. GooDALE: sell more of Hoods Sarsapar
rilla than all other blood purifiers. &
y A. W. Dows & Co.: Hoods takes the lead of all
other sarsaparillas.
4 c. f. BLANCHARD: We sell more Of Hoods sar-
3saparilla than of any similar.
II MARsToN & SHAW: With as the sale Of Hood'a
is to of any other kind.
3 r. & E. BAILEY & Co.: Hoods sarsaparilla 10
one of the best medicines.
CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods sarsaparilla is one
Of the best medicines we have. Its sale increases
every year.
F. P. MOODY: We sell twice as much of Hoods
6arsaparilla as of anything similar.
c.. A. SWAN: Hoods is the most popular sarsa-
parilla Of the day.
THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and its proprietors have been known for
many years, could not continue If the medicine
did not possess merit. And these facts should
certainly convince people in other sections Of
the country that Hoods Sarsaparilla is a good,
reliable medicine.
