Roxaltx,s travelling Expenses

Last year the queens trip to Grasse
cost her el0,060, and it was estimated
that the Hyeres expedition would have
been accomplished for about the same
amount. The queens visit to Darn
stadt, however, involved SO much addi-
tional expense that sher maiesty's out
lay in connection with her Continental
tour will be nearly e15,0O0, which is
the largest sum that has so far been ex-
pended on one of these trips, except in
1888, when the queen went to Florence
and then visited Berlin on her way
home. London Truth.

EDITORS HERALD: The report OF the
organization of Republican club in the
fifth ward contained in your paper OF
this morning states that only Hazard
men were elected officers of the club
and think that is an error. Mayor
Hazard has in no sense an Issue in that
contest and only participated in It the
same as the other Republicans of the
ward. The organization has broader
aim. It is movement Of the Republic
ans who have heretofore refrained from
action politics and who are tired OF
being controlled by few men as part OF
the general machine. They propose
hereafter to do their duty at. the pri-
maries as we'll as at the general election.
If their example were followed IN the
other wards of the city such frauds as
were perpetrated at the late primaries
would become impossible. Yours,

Pussy and Her Feathered Brood.

Mr.. James Forwood, of Darlington,
Hartford county, has a cat which has de-
veloped an interesting trait. Being kit
tenless, she adopted as her own brood
of motherless young chickens, which
come to her when she purrs and follow
her around When any of the brood
stray into neighbor's premises the cat
follows, and picking each chick up care
fully by the back OF its neck, deposits it
safely on its owners premises. Calling
the chicks to her the cat lies down and
hovers over them as fenderly and care
fully as their feathered mother would
have done. The chicks appear to accept
the situation and are thriving. Cor,

HORSE TALK.

A great stallion purse for the forth
coming fair, is now on the carpet, in or
der to give stations from elsewhere
chance to tackle Mckinney on his re-
turn from the upper end of the circuit.
Among those looked for is the Oregon
horse Holmdel, that trotted SO fast in
Montana, and got square record of
2:1sA. He is by Holmdel, son of Har-
old, sire of Maud S., and his dam is by
Peacemaker, 260; so that he is an inbred
Hambletonian. The northwestern cir
cult will be over by the time our races
take place here, 80 that Hermes will
miss nothing by coming here. Any
horse that can trot in 2:18A at Ana
conda, ought to be able to do his mile in
2:15 at Los Angeles. Our track is in
superb order, and great contest may
be expected.
Mr.. J. P. Gaines of Oregon, whose
father was it's territorial governor under
President Pierce, is located here as
trainer, and has the following trotters
in condition for the fair at Hueneme ::
Bob Mason, 2:2z; Almo. 2:31; Memo,
2:2914 and Telephone, by May Boy, no
record. He has given these horses
some pretty strong work during the
week, Almo doing a quarter in "a sec
onds, and Memo quarter in 33, and the
final quarter at that. He has also
green PAGER belonging to Mr.. Snod-
grass which paced in 2:32 the first mile
that she ever got on track. Mr..
Gaines is delighted with Southern Cali
fornia, saying that it is an equine para
disc; and that a horse can be kept in
condition here with o.thirds of the
work that is required at the north.

4 GRAPHIC STORY OF A THRILLING
 RAILROAD WRECK.

The Road Was Slow and Horse Car
 Line Might Have Made Better Timo
 but the Speed of It's Trains Was Appre.
 ciated in One Case Anyway-Here It Is.
 We were sitting in the smoking car
 of the sleeper and the conversation un- | plasantly enough, drifted into the ques- tion of railroad wrecks. It was strange, ! too, that this should be, for we were all
 old hands at travelling. That sort of l people seldom talk about wrecks. but we
 were soon in the thick of it, every man of us telling his experiences" So spoke James A. Hart, to whose mind this story was brought by the occurrence of sev- 1 eral bad wrecks in the elst. We were 1 travelling from o&c town to another-I won't say whcvG--Dl road I will call the AlegaZlu!. because l don't want to make bad GrIe1li of ia" railroad people. But the experience k worth telling, for I'll never forge. it if live to be thou sand ye&rs aud q day old There was one big fellow in the snloker-a drum mer who cyidoatly was q kicker. At all events he did not like the Alegazam road. Why, Said he, it wouldn't sur prise me bit if we were to go smash before the night is over l never ride on this road without buying ten dollars worth of accident policy. Oh, this Ale gazam is a beauty. If there was a horse car line alongside of it would take that. The big drummer was get ting to be q nuisance in the conversa- ton.
 At the end of every horrible tale he would brighten up and say: That isn't a marker to what will happen some day on the Alcgazam Mark my words. This road is q EOodoo if there ever was one Our cigars were smoked out as cigars will be smoked out, and we re- tired for the night. The drummer's berth was only q few numbers from mine, and as he got into bed he poked his head out between the curtains and saidin hoarse whisper, Let your body hang half out the window so you'll be on hand when it strikes; and then turned in, and, don't doubt, went sound to sleep, never looking for an accident, not withstanding all his talk.
 "Now, a railroad wreck is a funny thing" continued Mr. Hart. "Every- body thinks he's the last man out and | the last to hear the shock, and conse- . quently thinks there's no hope for him. | People don't stop to consider that in ninety-nine out of hundred wrecks the damage is all done at once or net at all, . And this case is a good exemplar | sleep soundly but lightly wher travel, and l am ready walker when there is any unusual noise-that is, noise not caused by the travel of the train over the rails.

erpool in thirteen days and seven hours. The Red Jacket made over 325 statute
 miles a day for one week. These are
 some of the records the Roanoke will
 try to equal. Veteran shippers do not ! believe she can do it, but her commander ! is hopeful.
 The Roanoke is not the biggest Amer. | ican ship ever built. That distinction
 belonged to the Great Republic, which
 was even larger than the colossal steel
 five master France, the largest sailing
 vessel in the world. The Great Repub-
 lie was built in East Boston by Donald Mckay in 1853. Her master, Captain Joseph F. Hamilton, is the same Hamil-
 ton who now commands and partly owns the Roanoke. The Great Republic was not so heavily spared as the Roanoke. She carried l5,G53 square yards of can vas, while the Roanoke spreads nearly 2O,OOO. From boom end to boom end that Is, from the tip of her bowsprit to the tip of her spanker boom-the Roan- oke measures 310 feet Her length on the keel is 3ll feet, and her length over all is 33l feet. Her extreme beam is 49.3 feet, her depth 2910 feet and her draft 27 feet. The golden ball on the top of her main skysail pole is nearly 200 feet from the deck. Her main and mlzZen lower masts are 92 feet high, and her fore lower mast is 9l feet high. Her lower spanker mast is 9S feet high.
 Her fore, main and mizzen topmasts are 5G feet high and her spanker topmast is S2 feet high. Each of her three top gallant masts is 2S feet high, her three royal masts l0 feet, her s&ysail masts 15 feet and her skysail poles feet. Each of her three lower yards is 95 feet long, her lower topsail yards S8 feet long, her topgallant yards 66 feet long, her royal yards 55 feet long and her skysail yards 44 feet long. These are gigantic spars, and their size can be appreciated only by the sailorman who furls sail on them.
 On her maiden voyage from Bath to this port, with 400 tons of ice in her hold as ballast, the Roanoke had only light winds and could not test her sail ing qualities. She will go into service on the triangular track from New York to San Francisco, to Liverpool tor Havre), and back to New York. She will carry a crew of about forty men of mixed nationalities. She will also have what are rare in these days-six or seven ambitious American apprentices, mostly from the schoolship St. Mary's. Her chief officers, who are American navi- gators of much experience, are First Mate Fra Foss, of Lynn, and Sec 1 ond Mate | s, of Portland. New York Sun.

 "'For Gods sake stop that enginer
 And then following that up almost instantaneously there was great crash. ing sound of breaking glass. That was all. Following this there was silence so profound that could hear my watch ticking under my pillow What did it : mean! A thousand questions rushed 1 into my head in the second of time that i followed the breaking of the glass. But before had time to get out of the berth voice rang through the car in tone the like of which never heard before and hope never to hear again.
 "Jump for your livesr
 "l have heard and seen some queer things in my day, but before heard that voice 1 never knew what horror meant. The feeling of mans whole life was concentrated into that voice. and it struck into my nerves as might streak of lightning that had no power to kill.
 'As jumped to the ground and rushed up the track saw approaching our train on the same track, coming to meet our engine, the headlight of an other locomotive. That headlight and the dark outlines of the engine behind it looked to me like some horrible mon- ster from another world. It was more than simple piece of machinery. The thing was alive, and seemed to be about ten times as large as it really was. The impression had of it then was the most singular feeling l ever knew, and can't describe it. Everything had been done so quickly. and 1 was 80 terribly excited that it was not for some seconds that l noticed was the first man in the train that had got out The strange engine slid along the rails until 1t was within few feet ot ours and stopped. Then the people began corning out
 "Why, in the interval that elapsed be- tween the cry of Jump for your livesr and the time the passengers were alarmed and had begun Co come out, a thou sand trains might have been wrecked.
  Nearly all the passengers were now out side inquiring into the cause of the trouble. in my inquiries l discovered the cause of the crashing glass. The nan in the berth next mino had heard the brakes put on, had heard the first outcry and, thinking that trouble was ahead, simply bolted through his win dow, carrying the glass with him. He was not even scratched. We learned that, through an error in switching at a station up he road, the strange engine had slid down our track just in time to see our headlight and for both engines to stop twenty feet short of collision. But the funniest part is to come. Long after the first rush was over a win dow of our sleeper was broken through, and our friend the drummer dived through 1t head first to the ground. He had just learned that we were going to | be wrecked, and he didn't want to take | any chances.

Practical Improvement.

The practice of improving ones self in some useful art without an intention to become a professional, so to speak, is much more widely followed than is real ized. The technical schools that are 6pringing up everywhere are patronized by many amateurs who care for only enough skill to do for themselves.
