Funny people we run across in the course of
our lives" remarked a Market street gripman
to the San Francisco Gail yesterday as he
tugged savagely at the lever and tried to drive
his car into couple OF young men who were
crossing the street in hurry
THE gueerest old bloke I've seen for a long
time boarded the dummy at Main street and
began 20 ask questions, l could tell by his gen
eral appearance that he was from one of the
way back counties and it didn't take him long
to tell me that he was from Inyo and hadn't
been in San Francisco since 50. He had been
working for all those years IN the mines and
when it came to being onto wnar was gong on
he wasn't in it. Seemed kind of funny but he
had never seen a street car before in his life,
and you'd have died laughing just TO see him
sizing things up. Pretty soon the conductor
came along, and when he asked for fares the
old fellow shelled out & four-bit piece. and
nearly fell off the car with surprise when he
was handed IS cents in change.
a" Made mistake, didn't he?' turning to me.
" No. that's right.
oh, see; just collects, I reckon, from one
station to another
Il nodded my head and when the conductor
came out again put him on
We'll, sir. that old chap rode out to the end
and back down town, putting up bis nickel
whenever the car stopped. aud when he got
down town his ride had cost him just 81 s.
- Pretty cheap ridin',' he said with a smile
as he stepped to the ground and disappeared in
the darkness"

Pc Was q Farm er

1t was ladies' day of the Rochester Yacht
Club. says the Democrat of that city, and as one
Of the yachts lit shall be nameless for obvious
reasonsl was on its way out of the river toward
the lake one of the yachtsmen noticed a man
of distinctly ayr cultural appearance loing on
the pier, and apparently watching the yachts
with the curious eye Of a man who had never
seen anything in the boat line other than a
canal boat.

sailors. I'm bet be never saw yacht before
Let's take the jay out and have some fun with
him" The rest Of the crew assented and the
captain cried out Say, farmer want to 60

Wal, dunno Ant goin out fur, be ye?"
80, no; only going out for a little sail. There's
Wal b'gosh, # ye ant gon' out fur I'll jest
hay ter go ye." And he climbed awkwardly
aboard, sat down in the cockpit, and looked
around cUriouSly.
The breeze was fresh and the yacht bowled
along merrily. The farmer had nothing to say,
aud after vaiuly trying TO kid him and finding
that he was not to be kidded the yachtsmen let
him alone TO enjoy the sail. After being out for
a short time the squat that scared so many Of
the yachtsmen on ladies' day came up
and on this particular yacht, be-
fore the sailors knew what had
struck them, a mainsail halfyard snapped
and it looked for minute as if the boat wa,
going over. There were q dozen orders, but
before any of them could he executed the
farmer Skinned up the mast, captured the flying
halyard, and, bringing it to the deck, made it
fast with as perfect a hitch was ever made
on board a mau-of war Then he walked back
to the cockpit and sat down again.
After the squat had died down and the ex-
element had subsidized the captain said to him:
You're no farmer You must have been
sailor"
Wal. said the farmer, II was six years in
the navy"
And the yachtsmen had nothing to say.

one night was assigned TO a ghost story. Two
young couples mad seen the wrath OF female,

and at the time I called to gee her was COM
pletey Frustrated. The only name l reCOlect
Of the four young people who saw the ghost
was that Of David Snelbaker. That was fixed
in my mind by reason of the historic assocla-
JiOns that cluster about the name.
Col. Snelbaker, who was the young man s
uncle, will be remembered as the murderer of
Officer Chumey Of the Cincinnati police force.
Snebaker shot Chumiey in the door of smell
House. The shooting was the result of a q lar-
rel, Chumley having accused Snelbaker OF the
ruin OF his two beautiful daughters. one of
whom is now known as the Duchess TO the
police of this country aud Europe. Young
Snelbaker was the only one of the four persons
who saw the ghost who could be interviewed.
4 similar coincidence was that the night on
which this ghost was seen was the very night
that Col. Snelbaker died in Chicago. Young
Snelbaker and his girl on this Sunday night
were calling at the home of a FREUD of the girl

room they had just vacated, and in which no

A Brilliant Campaign.

It seems to lie admitted that Senator
George. of Mississippi. will be reelected
senator from that state, and that
Senator Walthall will also be re-
elected, notwithstanding the letter ne
wrote three months ago, to the
effect that be did not want another term
Senator George has made an extraordi-
narily strong fight for reelection. lie was
very popular with his constituents until he
announced his opposition to the leading
features Of the platform OF the farmers
alliance. Immediately there developed
powerful opposition to him. and 1t was
thought it would be impossible for him 70
overcome it, Two able and popular men,
who accepted the alliance platform lnclud-
ing the sub-treesury plan, announced
themselves as candidates to succeed Sen
tors George and Walthal.
A campaign was at once begun, which
has deeply interested the people OF the
whole state. and which he's attracted the
attention Of the whole country. The sub
treasury scheme and other features OF the
alliance platform have been thoroughly
discussed. The people OF Mississippi have
heard all there Is TO be said for and against
them, and there seems TO be no doubt that
they favor Senator Georges reelection,
and also, that OF Senator Wathall, even
though the senators are against the sub
treasury plan,
Senator George is not an eloquent man,
but Re is logical and convincing speaker,
and he seems TO have satisfied the people Of
Mississippi that their interests are safe In
his hands In the primaries so far held be
has received about five times as many votes
as his opponent, Mr.. Barksdale. In fact
he has carried the counties which wore re-
garded the ones in which Mr.. Barksdale
was the strongest.
This Mississippi contest shows that the
sub-treasury plan has little chance OF being
approved where it is so clearly explained that
the people understand it. 1t is not probable
that it will ever again be an issue IN Mis-
sissippi. The farmers Of that state are now
pretty thoroughly convinced that it would
not be helpful to them, and that its adoption
would be followed BY evils Of the most
serious kind.

Races on the Railroads..

To note the ceDsorious comments Of some
of the eastern and western papers upon the
recent proposition of several southern rail-
ways to furnish frst-clsss accommodations
for blacks is somewhat entertaining as we'll as
instructive 1t shows how altogether differ
emily intelligent people may talk, when they
undertake to discuss subject Of which they
know absolutely nothing, from the tone the
same persons would assume if they only had
a clear understanding Of what they so
lightly venture to pass ofr-hsnd judgment
upon.
Such purpose as the one referred to is
certainly very laudable on the part of the
railroad officials But it will not work. 1t
will fail because the very people for whose
benefit the special accommodations are to be
introduced don't spend enough money in
riding frst-olass TO sustain such accommo-
dations They would probably not pay
enough in the course of a month to defray
the cost of lighting the sleeping or dining
cars, aud it is doubtful il their patronage
would defray the expense of attaching an
extra flrst-class car to each train for their
especial use.
Contrary to the statements OF those long
distance critics, the negro does not, as arule,
pay flrst-elass fare. Generally he wants a
second class ticket, and he gets it, 1t comes
cheaper When he buys flrst-olass ticket
he is usually Oh some sort OF lark, and
very frequently 80 drunk or disorderly as to
rightfully exclude him from the ladies' car.
Those who buy fiIst-olass tickets at other
times are very rare Consequently, the
blacks are barred from riding in first class
coaches, and always offered second-class
tickets, but not be cause Of the prejudices of
the railroad management. Dollars are
dollars to them from whatever source
they come. But so long as the
blacks are disagreeable to the majority
of their patrons, they seem to be
justified in excluding them just as
much as they would be lawfully entitled to
exclude drunken man, a lunatio, or any
one else who was offensive or annoying to
the people from whom they derive their in
come. There is nothing unreasonable about
their position. There is probably not q
a railroad in any southern state that would
refuse to provide for the blacks any luxury
they could and would pay for, provided
that It did uotin any way trench upon the
rights of others in such way as to lay
the company liable for damages.

The Coon Was q Cat.


By one Of these condolences which sometimes
occur, a number of the attaches of the Federal
building were gathered into the United States
marshai's office one morning, exchanging remi-
nlscences says the New Orleans Nete Delta.
IN never forget the time went coon hunt

young fellows, said Ed 1IcDevitt, of the clerks
Office, who had Just happened to drift into
the room. Il expected to have a load of fun.
as the other boys had told me what a picnic
coon hunting always was. Well, we started out
about dark with a fine coon dog and several
guns. At about the same time it began to rain.
The whole blessed night we tramped through the
dark woods in a pouring rain, scratching our
selves all to pieces on briers and wading through
swamps, remember that along toward mora
ing my gun weighed at the least calculation 316
pounds.
AT o'clock in the morning our dog freed
a coon. 1t was very dark but we could
family see the animal moving about up among
the limbs of the tree. Then we rested our
selves by chopping the tree down. 1t was
about two feet thick, and il was 4 O'Clock when
the tree fell. The coon jumped out of the tree
and started to run but one of the boys shot
We all ran up to get look at it, 1t was some-
body old cat. Then we went home.
The dog was SO disguised that he would
never hunt coons again, and the next day the
man who owned the land where we caught the
coon came over and threatened to sue us if we
didn't pay for the tree and the cat. | tell you
what, fellows, there's neap of fun in coon

Ioulsville's Base Ball Club.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 13. 1t is reported
here that proposition has been made to
the American Base Ball Association to trans
fer to the association the franchise and
players of the Louisville CLUB, to be operated
during the remainder Of the season. With
the failure of the Falls City Bank it be-
comes necessary to pay the debt owed by
tae club to that institution. The amount is
S6,5OO None of the directors nor stock
holders have been found willing SO far to
advance the money, aud there is no such
amount in the treasury. The club will
probably be sold, or the association must
take charge.

Now it is time for the German physicians
to sheer. Paris has just taken her turn
going wild over new cure for consump-
tion introduced by a French physician.
Injections of chloride OF zinc constitute the
Frenchman's remedy for tuberculosis. Ma
tional jealousy will naturally impel the
Teutonlc medicos to ridicule the suggestion,
of course. Nevertheless they will all be
industriously experimenting just as soon as
they can find suitable subjects, just the
same as the jeering French doctors did
with the Koch lymph. Still, continued re-
search may yet eventuate In success.
