One night not so very long after Cape

brig sailed into Gloucester harbor. The
schooner was there moored to wharf,
looking as pretty as picture. She had
arrived ten days before the brig, having
been blessed with fair winds all the

After the brig had been made fast to

Special to THE MORNING CALL

New YORK. Feb. 28.-A Worlds Wash
ington special says: Senator John Sherman,
it is said, does not expect TO serve
out the term TO which he was elected
by the Ohio Legislature. in January. From
an inside official source it is learned that
he has made up his mind TO retire to private
life The date of his retirement has not
been fixed definitely, and it may be
denied for the present that he
contempates taking such steps,
but few Of Sherman's friends declare that
il is fact, aud the formal announcement of
it will be forthcoming 10 due time
He will resign some time next winter, 10
take effect upon the 4Jh Of March,
1898 But his resignation will not be
sent in until it is pretty definitely
ascertained who will be elected TO succeed
him. sherman favors Secretary Foster
as his successor A consideration
which has had much to do with influencing
Sherman's mind in the matter is that he
wishes to complete and publish the
corres pOndence Of his brother, Cen
eral Sherman. during and since the war.
These letters, it is said, contain vast
am cunt Of valuable matter and will make
one Of the most important contributions to
the history Of the war. 1t Will take at

Caiy by refusing tu give Ch"ct to them.

Meissonier was very fond of cats and
dogs. Among his pets was a rugged little
terier. The terrier got very sick one day.
and tie great painter was in a sore fix.
In P0issy, where he lived, there was no dog
doctor, and tie animal was getting wors g
and worse every day. At last the artist
accidentally met n friend of his, one of the
most illuStrl Gus phys iciaus OF Paris. Doc
tor" said he, ''do me an immense favor (;
cure my sick little dog"
NOW. my dear sir, said the doctor. 'are
you really serious"
II am" replied Meissonier. II know
that the thing isn't precisely in your line,
but you would do me great kindness, and
| will remain forever your debtor IL you
will consent to try your skill on my little
terrier"
The doctor at last consented He saw the
dog prescribed and cured. When he re-
turned 10 Paris he received polite note
from Meissonier, asking him TO name the
amount Of his hOnorarium " for medical
services rendered to the dog" The doctor
laughed and did not reply to the note. But
soon another note came with the same re-
quest and n statement that the author made
il rule not to owe anything to any body.
The doctor replied TO This with the single
word, Nothing" But MeiSsoniGr would
not be denied. He sent messenger with
another note.
"In the dogs name," exclaimed the
mighty medicine man, "tell MeiSsonler
that have just put up new iron gate at

LEE PREVENTED A DUEL.
Why Longstreet Il ccepted General HIPS
Challenge.


Washington Post
50 / heard General MOsby tell a story of
duel that came near being fought by
General Longstreet and General A. p. Hill
during the Virginia campaign" said Colonel
Edward Angler. a great admirer of Long
streets valor.
"Mosby says" the colonel remarked,
'that the battle of Gaines Mill was fought
and won almost exclusively by Longstreet'S
Georgia soldiers A paper published in
Richmond, cal ed the Richmond Examiner,
printed very extensive description OF the
battle. but gave all the credit to General A.

gave the Georgia general and the Georgia
soldiers no praise at all LonGStTeetS

vehement protest The men were all angered
that after winning such hard-fought
battle they should be robbed Of their right
full claim to victory. L0ngstreet ordered his
adjutant to reply to it officially in the same
paper, which he did. General Hill wrote 10
fiEd out who it was who had stamped his
account of the battle as false, and Long
| street, somewhat provoked, wrote on the
back of HilPs letter that he himself did II.

Two OUNCES OF CHLOROFORM
Exempted Suicide Of a Stranger in a San
Jose Hotel.
WITHOUT HONEY AND DESP0NDEnT.
Little Hope for The Recovery Of the Victim.
Successful Rabbit Drive in
Tu'ar0 County.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

SAN JOSE, Feb. ga young man, whose
name could not be learned, made what is
very likely successful attempt at suicide
last night at tie Western Exchange On Mar
ket street. The man came to the hotel last
Wednesday in company with Dane named
Andrew Gilling. Last night about 8 o'clock
the man asked Giling to purchase him %
cents worth of chlorOfOrm, saying that ho
wished to take 1t for a stomach trouble.
GiIling went to Bakers drugstore and
bought a twC-Ounce bottle. He says he
knew nothing of its deadly character until
he was told by the drug clerk that it was
poison. He returned to the hotel, and, CIV
ing the vial to the man said, you don't
want to take that. the drug man told me it
was very bad poison"
"Oh, that's nothing" replied the one ad-
dressed, 81 have often used it,"
Gilling, suspectiDg nothing, went out,
leaving his roommate holding the bottle in
his hand.
About midnight GiIing went to the room
and found the unknO wn man lying on the
floor unconscious and bre athng heavily. A
physician pronounced it case of chOrO
form poisoning, and the empty bottle was
found in a closet.
The physician administered stimulant,
but the chances OF recovery appeared very
slim lnueed. Inc exact QuanuLy OF the QfuB
which had been taken could not be aScer-
tanned.
Ali attempts to establish the identity Of
the unfortunate man were unavailing. He
was evidently a stranger in the city. He
is q young man about % years OF age.
Glling stated that he had been met by the
man last week near San Lucas A few
words were exchanged between the two,
and the unknown said to Gilllng thst lie had
better travel with him, as they were both
going the same.way. Gilling learned noth-
ing about his companion further than that
ne was a Scotchman and had been working
on ranch somewhere near the place they
had met,
The cause of the deed is, of course, un-
known. Gilling SuppOSes that his new ac-
quaintance was despondent on account OF
being out of money and work.
At 3 o'clock this morning there was no
perceptble change. DR.. Provost freely al
ministered inhalatons of the nitrite Of amyl
with occasional hyp0dermic injections OF

STARVATION AND FATALISM.
A Pathetic Story Illustrating the Despair
of Russian Peasants.
London Exchange

London Exchange,
A characteristic incident reported By the
CORRESPONDENT Of NOvoye Vremya illustrates
the manner in which the Russian peasant
accepts his lot when all his efforts to help
himself have failed. The reporter went 10
a large village, with a public school and q
cotton factory. Tie peasants there eat
bread made of the gOose-foot plant, but
those who are employed al the factory make
their bread of mixture of two measures Of
bran to one Of rye flour.
Still there are many there who have not
even that kind Of bread to eat. The re-
porter entered a hut where he heard chit
dren crying. Everything was bare. Two
small children sat on the floor crying. When
he began talking to them little girl OF II
wears came forward. AS soon as she saw
the reporter she began making the sign of
the cross over herself, as If she had seen an
