Restaurant.
Police court was delayed until 10
o'clock this morning waiting for Attor-
ney Kellogg. When it opened Peter
Poirier was charged with being drunk.
DR. Hinckley testified that he had been
attending Mrs Poirier, who is very sick,
and that Peter was a great annoyance
to her. Poirier said that he was not in
toxicated, but that he was sick. Judge

he sent him to the town house for ten
days.

TOO POOR TO RUN.
Why Judge Gresham Declined the Third
PartY Nomination.

BosToN, Aug. 15.-On the authority of
one of the delegates to the Omaha Con-
vention, it is stated that when Mr.. Pow
dcrly's committee waited on Judge Ores
ham to make sure that his Discriminate
not to accept the Third Party nomination
was final, Judge Gresham told them that
he believed in the principles Of the party
most thoroughly, and that before the
campaign was over he would make a
speech in Chicago advocating their candi
date and principles.
But, he said, he could not accept the
nomination because he was a poor man
and in poor health. His duty to his fam
lily prevented him. If he should accept
he would have to resign his position on
the bench, upon which he was dependent
for a living.

Mayor Webster and the Water

Our annual excursion last Monday given
to our employees, turned out to be one of
the great social events of the year. We
think it would be the proper thing, IN
your next message to recommend to our
manufacturers the closing of their mills
on that day. 1t would be the one great
stroke of diplomacy which would distin-
guish your political career.
When we paraled through the city in
the big omnibus, drawn by our four
handsome grey horses, the way that the
beautiful girls waved their handkerchiefs
at our boys, we could see at glance that
the feeling was perfectly natural, as all
our hearts began to tlutter We mus;
have those girls with us next year Mt any
cost. Since we came back our orders
Ii ave doubled, and our men are equal to
the emergency. They have been singing
Mt their work ever since. Every one
knows that we believe in the people, and
the people believe i'll us. This is where
our success lies.

A curious custom among the rulers ol
the Old World is marriage by proxy.
For instance, Francis H., the ex-king
of Naples, was welded by proxy in 1889
to Maria. duchess OF Bavaria. OF
course the marriage by proxy goes no
further than the ceremony. Exactly
why 1t should be done ut all Is not clear
by past or present history, unless to save
the Prince the trouble OF going after his
wife aud give her decent excuse for
coming to him.
In the case of Francis, he had never
seen Maria. aud their first interview Is
said TO have been attended with consid-
erable disappointment. In fact, II the
Young man had not beel already married
by proxy he would probably have never
married the lady at all.
Leopold, King OF the Belglans, also
married his Austrian wife by proxy,
but he knew what no was about, having
met her a month previous during a visit
to Vienna. At the time of the marriage
he was but mere STRIPPING, and his
wife was chosen for him by his royal pa
reats, who, however, gave him tho priv
ilege OF seeing her Ia advance.
Oa his return from Vienna Leopold
was sick for about week, aud, accord
lag 20 general report, aot love sick, ~
least with his appointed wife, Their
married life. however, has not beea un'
happy, so far a. the world knows, except
through the extraordinary mlaioFlnnes
which made carlotta and slephaaie

The Great Redwo0ds.

fhe Eastern lumbermen who are here
are much interested in the great rod
woods, of which they have seen few,
and in the monster trees of Santa Cruz,
aud the sequoilas OF the Yosemite and
other California parks. The great pines
and fur of the North filed them with
surprise, but the trees they have seen
here they say have aroused their credul-
ity as to what California can pro luce.
Nevertheless, they have not seen the
really grett trees, like those of the high
Sierras, including the Kings River and
Yosemite products.
S. Z. Holcom, one OF the discoveries
of the grove Of giant seluoias In Fresno
co.. /, III what John Muir has doni-
.....ed the New Yosemite, is at the
American Exchange. lie says no words
can describe their grandeur, nor the i'm
pressions created upon the visitor when
beholding them for the first time.
"They are trees that atonish and
am ze," said he, sand the effect Is last.
ing. IL lasts for all time. At least, |
do not think l shall ever get rid Of the
effect which they had on me, nor do |
wish to do so. II to Bryant such groves
as he saw were temples, what must these
be consideredi leave all this to the
poets, but there are some points that |
doubt not will be OF interest to the lum-
bermeu.
'.rhere Is tree there with the aston.
ishiag circumference Of is7 feet, and a
diameter la the naFrowest place of forty
two feet, while tho trunk reaches almost
400 feet In the air. Then there are trees
there twenty-eight feet through aud ba-
bies of twelve feet aud 50 oa. To seq
them Is an object lesson waiea carries
with II astoE ishmeat forever. To stant
In their shadow Is something worth do.
Ing at almost any cost. Could the lum
bermea OF the pineries behold them
never again eould they view the ordinary
tree but they would be Impressed with
the fact that they were but mere saplings,
cuttings set ia the gtoana, and only
these. "-Saa Francisco Examiner.

The joys of summer time;

In sadder beauty fall;
Our darlings for few brief hours.

And love shall win the goalF'

One of the curious aspects of our com,
plex nationalities resulting from the
number of foreign emigrants, notes the
New York Sun, is the liability of Italians
to become counterfeiters. The English
speaking races, the Germans and tho
French, seem inclined to regard counter
feiting as not worth the trouble at tho
risk at which such pursuit is engaged
in. But the lower class of Italians, for
some mysterious reason, regard counter.
feiting as an easy way of earning liv-
ino
