MOURNING FOR BLEEBIRD,
Death of Della Loughlin, Once One of tn.
Worst of the Summers.


Worst of the Summers.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-There is mourning in
the "Door of Hope" Mission, over the death
of Della Loughlin, young woman who, I'M
til she was rescued by Mrs. Whittenmore
from the slums in May, 1891, was known in
Mulberry Bend as the worst drtnker fighter
and opium smoker in the district. She was
called "Bluebird" and after she was con-
verted and became a remarkably efficient
missionary herself, she kept and was proud
o the title.
She was young woman of strong person
ality and great natural eloQuence, and the
records of the city missions show that she
converted more tnan 100 men and women in
the year that she was able to go about and
lecture. The frightful dissipation she had
ipdulged in brought on hasty consumption
and she had been ut deaths door for the last
six months. Many OF her old ncquaintances
went to the Door of Hope to see her yester-
day and her white coffin was covered with
the flowers they brought.

SUPPORTERS of Judge Kolb in Alabama
will utterly stultify the charges OF illegal

their opponents, by seeking other than legal
remedies for the lawlessness complained of.
Lawlessness can only be fought success
fully by legal process. And an appeal to
arms merely stigmatizes political faction
as an organization unable to prove its case,

SUGAR MEN OUT OF POCKET.
The Drouth in Hawaii and Low Prices
Knock Out a Dividend,


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16-The annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Hawaiian
Consolidated Sugar Company was held here
to-day. President John Spreck!es made a
report, in which he stated that the Weld of
sugar in the Hawaiian Islands during the
past year had been reduced owing to drouth
to less than 5000 tons. and that owing to the
removal of the tariff on sugar low range
of prices had prevailed, the average being
$53 net per ton as aeainst an average of $40
the preceding year.
The loss OF income during the past year
was not less than $3.50, 900. Payments of div.
fdends had not only been impossible. but
the company had been obliged to borrow
500, 600 to enable them to carry on the work
OF saving the growing crop. There remains
about 81, 900 of this loan in the treasury. but
it will all be exhausted in harvesting the
crop of 1892. which, according 20 the latest
reports, had been already reduced by 5000
tons OWN z to drouth.

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS,
Steerage Passengers Only to Be Hereafte
Ouarantined Twenty DAYS,


0uarantined Twenty Days.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA circular is being
prepared at the Treasury Department., max
ing an important change in the present i'm.
migration policy of the department.. 1t is in
effect that the Presidents order of Septem-
Der !, imposing 20 days quarantine on i'm
migrants. is hereafter to be applied only to
immigrants who como over in the steerage
Heretofore ali immigrants who were not
booked and assembled at the port of depart.
ure prior to September were debarred from
landing, regardless of whether they came in
cabin or steerage.
, The change is made in recognition of the
fact that the only present danger OF the in
PRODUCTION, of cholera or other epidemic by
immigration is from persons and baggage
that have not been subjected to proper SAN
1tary regulations in transit. 1t is assumed
that the Federal and local quarantines will
be continued, and that the proposed addi-
tional detention of 90 days will be imposed
only where the vessel and its passengers are
not in perfect sanitary condition

The black death in England.


In England the black death made
its first appearance in Dorsetshire,
and quickly spreading over the west
it reached London by way of Oxford,
leaving death and desolation behind
it everywhere. It was as fatal in the
country as in the town. Whole vii
lagos were depopulated and small
towns almost wiped out of existence.
The dead lay unburied as they had
died, for priests had been swept
away with their focks, and in many
parishes there was no one left to eel
citrate mass, while every trade and
craft was suspended in the universal
terror and suspense.
To add to the horror of the times,
bands of marauders roamed about
unmolested, robbing alike the dead
and the living, and dogs, deprived of
their masters by death, came to-
gether in packs, made ferocious by
hunger, and secured the country like
so many bands of wolves.-Al the

Prices for otter Skins.

The most valuable otter fur is that
of the darkest color. A rich, nearly
jet black fur with long silver hairs
scattered through is the most priced
of all, and such pelts bring the hunt
er from $3.50 to $3.50 The clear black
comes next in value, and the brown
is the cheapest of all and bring from
$75 to 800. These prices do not in
dicate the true value of the skins, for
the locality is long distance from
the railways, and it is very difficult
and expensive to get freight of any
kind from this out of the way beach.
A skin that the hunter sells for $3.50
more than doubles in value by the
time it goes through several hands
and reaches a good market. Cor.

Saved by a Burro.

Bob Montgomery, with Mr.. Sher-
wood and Mr.. Metcalf, left with six
burros on prospecting trip in the
foothills around Death valley. They
are all old hands at roughing it, but
they agree the famous valley is well
named. In making the trip from
Furnace Creek to Cottonwood a hot
wind came up, in which it was next
to impossible for them to get breath.
The animals began to give out, and
they were compelled to abandon
their packs and start on a hunt for
water. What little they had left
they mixed with vinegar and oat-
meal, but the intense heat soured the
oatmeal and made the mixture SC
hot that it would actually burn them
when they wet their swollen tongues
with it.
None had ever been on the ground
before, and it was only due to the in
telligence of Montgomery's pet jack,
Sullivan, that they were saved from
suffering, # not death. Dragging
along up the valley, they were pass
ing the mouth of a canyon, when
suddenly old Sullivan gave tire
mendous bray. Metcalf said, That's
water. boys!" and started up the
canyon. Sure enough, he gave 9
yell of joy. Water was found. -

The Bertillon system of taking the
measurements of criminals, recently
introduced in New York, will be i'll
valuable to the police as means of
identifying and keeping track of out
laws. But science, not less than JUS
tice, should profit by it, as it may be
expected to develop in time means of
obtaining data that would tend to
prove or disprove the theory that there
is direct relation betwixt physiology
and crime.
