DESIGN FOR THE RoCKEFELLyR DISPLAY.
bouquets can be placed behind the central
set piece, and must be well braced. Begin
your pyrotechnics with rockets. balloons.
bonn bshells and illuminations, then fire Off
your set pieces, commencing with the
smallest, continuing with the larger. vary
ing each display with aerial effects. closing
with the largest piece. The effect of this
will be vastly enhanced by firing off a bat
terv at either side The aerial bouquet
should be the last piece fired.
Now, one word more as to precautions.
Always attach your lighting torch to a
stick about six feet long.
What will 1t cost you to make display
of this kind? Prices differ. You can
spend $50 and have a very neat exhibition.
But for 800 you can lay in a goodly sup
ply of smaller pieces and at least one large
set effect.
One OF the prettiest displays will be that
of Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger. at Idle
wild. / don't think il will cost over $500,
and 1t will consist. as | am told. of three
set pieces, including 1.-The Continental
Minute Man" The Washington Statue"
and "A Goddess or Liberty" These are
ali magnificent in color effects. and will be
shown to splendid advantage on the mag
niLcent Cruger lawn.
When you start out to order your fire.
works be sure to order everything that is
pretty, and here are a few of the things
you must not fail to get: Bombshells in
all effects, aerial bouquets. the Calling
battery, Spuyten Tuyfel sizzlers, sparkling
waterfall, the shield of Iris. the Polka
Redowa, Chinese brilliants, tree of liberty,
the sunburst. Peruvian glory, elfin waltz,
the aurora boreal;s, the Casket of Jewels,
the magic wheel. the Egyptian pyramid.
the double diamond, the revolving star,
the puzzle wheel, the Italian rosette. the
mosaic diamond the peacock TAIL jeweled
sprays, Saxon pyramid. dazzling dia-
spider, revolving gun, Kaleidoscope,
pleiades, Gothic cross basket of jewels,
emerald jewels and Niagara Falls. All
of these are comparatively small in the
setting and magnificent in effect. The
Niagara Falls design is not costly. and per-
haps the prettiest of minor pyrotechnics.

should medicine be the exception to the

A Water Famine.

w. E. Wilson, the water works superintendent,
requests all those who are in the habit of SPHINX
ling their lawns and gardens to refrain from
using water for this purpose for few days This
request is made for the reason that one of the
pumps at the Lake Washington station is badly
in need of repairs, and must be stopped in order
that the repairs can be made Careful use of
water for other purposes is also desired.

SHE SMOKED CIGARs.-A reporter
was informed Saturday that some of
the Hatfield gang that has for several
years made themselves notorious by
their killing in Pike county, Kentucky,
and Logan county, West Virginia, were
in the city, and could be found at the
wholesale liquor house of Joseph Law
son 6 Company. where they were buy
ing large supply of goods TO be ship
ped to them at Roderfeld, w. Va.
When the reporter went into the house
he saw Miss l.. Hatfield, sister of the
notorious Mccoy boys, a woman about
forty five years of age, sitting in chair
talking with her partner, l. N. Roberts.
She was placidly smoking cigar and
seemingly enjoying herself. The re-
porter having spent q year In Logan
county felt no delicacy in approaching
her. She was very dark, looking like
an ordinary gypsy. In conversation
she said she had never been out OF
Logan county before, and was greatly
impressed with her ride on the cars to
Roanoke. She wore an enormous
watch and chain and chewed tobacco
and smoked incessantly. She said she
came here to purchase whiskey and to-
bacco to sell in West Nirginia.-Roaa-

LIKE A NUGGETT.-Frontier high
waymen would have lad a hard time
wrestling with bit of gold which az
rived here by Wells, Fargo & Cos Ex-
press few days ago. 1t came from
the celebrated Harqua Hala mine, and
was consigned to j. Hubbard and j. b.
Bowers, the owners of that property,
for coming at the United States mint.
When the employees of the mint took
a look at it they were astounded. The
reason was that it was the biggest
lump of gold they had had the un-
happiness to come in contact with,
seeing that it was in one respect like
many others, being not their own. 1t
was of somewhat conical shape.
and seemed to have been emptied
out ofa gigantic Stag pot. Ii did not
belle its looks, for that was the way
it had been shaped. 1t was the pro-
duct of 45 days run at the Harqua
Hala, and the tremendous bulk
weighed 3575 pounds avoirdupois. and
was stated to be of the value OF Sl20,-
900. The thoughtful representatives
of the owners of the big nugget tele-
graphed from point to point Us they
progressed with it to the mines. sixty
miles southwest of PheniX. and an
nounced when it should arrive at the
next station. This was in order to
forestall any ambitious men with guns,
for, though aspiring highwaymen were
thus kept exactly posted as to when the
gold might be expected, it also posted
the people in each town The nugget
was too big for any party Of bandits to
carry it off intact and secretc, and, had
they stopped the caravan on the way to
the railroad they would have only had
time to chisel Off thousand dollars or
50 till the pack of bloodhounds which
the prison officials keep at Phoenix
would have been on their trail. No
body molested it, therefore, and it
reached here safely The ponderous
yellow mass has attracted much atten-
tion.-San Francisco Examiner.

HERE AND THERE.-There are pee
pie whose one commendatory adjective
is .'meek," who write and talk of meek
looking women, and expect every one
to agree with them that the aforesaid
women (or mem are subdued and harm
less. Don't ever believe it You may
find real, humble-spirited, downright
patient woman; I'm not denying that
I've seen a few myself-but YOU never
will find them among those of artfully
meek expression.
When you see pair of eyes with
CLEAN that is only occasional, eyes that
you can never catch looking at YOU or
anyone else, that are for the most part
lacking in lustre, look out for the own
er. You may be sure she looks very
sharply when your eyes ale in other di
rections. Don't imagine she is too
meek to be inquiring.
When you see mouth that droops
prettily at the corners, aud has quiet
little way of saying "Just as you like,
my dear be careful what you say, and
where, and when, and how. They'll
have their way-the meck-looking
''sistern," and you will be surprised at
what lies beneath and behind the alb
straction, and the softness Of voice and
glance.
1t was rather an irreverent thing to
say, as man did the other night, that
the verse which tells Us the meek shall
inherit the earth had for its foundation
some meek body, who, like those of to-
day, would have their own sweet way
and the earth besides.

SHALL WE STAND THE oUTRAGEsq

Oregon and Washington are aecOmmo-
dated with railroads, but poor San Fran
cisco has no opportunities except what are
doled out 10 her by men who care for moth
ing except putting more dollars in their
Golfers. Not a railroad comes to San Fran
cisco except those belonging to men who
insult us by saying that we have no enter
prise and that the city ought to be strangled.
Washington and Oregon have the benefit
Of the Canadian Pacific. the Northern Pa
ciic, the Union Pacific and the Great
Northern. Our railroad men have hindered
even che Atchison and Santa Fe road from
coming to this city I'D to the present time.
Poor San Francisco is likely to be out
stripped by the cities north of her unless
we bestir ourselves. we have the best
harbor on the Pacific Coast. but Stanford,
Huntington & Co. have contrived to hire
steamship companies, railroad companies
and even sail-vessels to work against us.
Has there ever been anything like this in
the United States previously? And yet we
knowingly permit Stanford and Hunting
ton to control the politics of the State by
money distributed to the bosses. We per-
NIT tPem 10 send Senators and Congress
men 10 Washington who are completely in
their interest and who log-roll for every
proposition which will benefit them and In
jure California. How long will the nhabi-
tants of San Francisco permit themselves
to be injured by the men who control the
Central and Southern Pacific railroad CON-
panles IS for them to consider. 1t is GER

Francisco Is being beat down. that we are
