| ing failed to recognize any one, her
| glance for moment fell upon him. In
| stinctively she shuddered back into her
downy wrappings and averted her eyes,
with startled look about the corners of
them. She was too proud to make any
sign, although in her heart she felt a
| fearful dread of him spring up. His
| eyes seemed to devour her, and the car
riage was delayed long enough for her
profile to burn itself into his brain. He
loved her, in his own vindictive way, at
first sight.
During the next fortnight he was in
variably at his place at the ratings and
saw her roll past in her carriage every
morning. He had discovered her resi-
dence and knew all about her goings in
and goings out. He had even in so'oe
extraordinary manner become possessed
of her genealogical tree and had COM
mitted the names of her illustrious an
cestors to memory, a curious manifesto
ton of interest for one with his ante
cedents. There was some sort of
fascination about him, too, for her, as
every time she passed him her eyes were
irresistibly drawn in his direction for
moment.
Jim had followed her carriage to the
library ON several occasions. One morn
ing he was absent from the park and
she gave a sigh of relief as she missed
his face. But he was waiting for her
outside the library, accompanied by an
other man, whose general appearance
at once placed him in the same evil
category as himself. The footman de-
scended from the box and went inside;
she remained without in the carriage
shivering instinctively with fear. AL
most Immediately Jim's companion step
ped into the road and struck one of the
restive and high spirited horses with
stick he carried.
An alteration with the coachman en-
sued and that worthy's attention was
distracted from his charge. In an in
slant Jim reached over the back of the
carriage and lifted poor Poppet right
out of her seat in his strong arms. He
strangled her cries with one of her own
silken wrappers, and turning down d;
bystreet was soon lost in the intricate
mazes of st. Giles.
She was abducted in broad daylight.
Her struggles We're utterly futile; she
was lost to her world forever.
The turns of fortunes wheel are most
curious. Jim soon wearied of poor Pop
pet, and after great many vicissitudes
she was at length obliged to perform
tricks in travelling circus. AS for Lady
Dollydacks, she was quite inconsolable
for the loss of her favorite poodle

An Extinct Volcano.

On the Island of Maui is Halea-
kala blouse of the Sum, the largest
known extinct volcano in the world, its
giant crater pit, resembling the yawning
craters in the moon, being twenty-four
miles in circumference and 1900 feet
deep. Sixteen subsidiary cones rise from
its bed, some solitary, others in clusters.
The base of the mountain itself has
circumference of ninety miles. On the
Island of Molokai is Kalamao, fertile
valley of about 10000 acres, walled in
by precipices 5000 feet high.
Here is the home of the lepers. All
who contract the disease areexiled here
by order of the government with the
view of extirpating if possible the dire
disease from among the people. 1t was
here that the Rev. Father Damien sac
rifced his life, and that others, equally
heroic, still labor at his work. k.-Asiat;c

Pretty Sun Umbrellas.

Women are little bit foolish it must
be confessed in running the risk of heat
prostration rather than carry sensible
silk umbrella, especially these days
when they come in their pretty silken
cases of plain blues, reds, olives, in fact
any shade to match the gowns, and are
stylish, taut and trim besides being
thoroughly useful, which is more than
can be said of the openwork lace and
chiffon novelties generally carried.

QUEEN OF SWEDEN"
Strange Story of IA Painters De-
mented Wife.

Ppm the Queen of Sweden, and soon I'll
move into my new palace" exclaimed a
paIe-faced woman with disheveled hair in
the City Prison Hospital yesterday after
noon. Early in the morning the woman had
been found wandering around the streets
shrieking and waving her arms wildly. Two
policemen took her to the City Prison and
placed her in the custody of Matron Gil
more pending further developments. For
hours at a time she would wave her arms,
laugh and exclaim I'm the Queen of SWe-
den"
To talk with the woman quietly one would
scarcely imagine her lunatic. In answer
to questions she said: My name is Mrs.
Elizabeth Willis, and last night my husband
drove me out of our home at 1718 Leaven-
worth street. He is Robert Willis, and
conducts a paint-st0re at 926 Washington
street."
Then she sprang about the room and
shreked "Pm so busy my work will never
end"
To Mrs. Gilmore she confdentally inl-
parted the information that her new home,
castle on Telegraph HILL was being mag
nltcently furnished. Curtains and hang
ings were being imported from Paris.
To Captain Stone the unfortunate woman
complained that she was being starved. She
had had nothing to eat all day but bowl
of cracker bouliOn. Mrs. Gilmore assured
the guardian Of the prison, however, that
her ward had been bounteously fed.

the demented creature asked.
Right now" said Captain Stone, and he
escorted her TO the patrol wagon. She was
taken to the Home for Inebriates pending
an examination before the Commissioners
of Insanity.
Tie police discovered that the wOman's
charge of cruelty against her husband was
unfounded. She left the house while he
was away from home.

PESTHOUSB SITE.
The Board of Health's Resolution
Causes a Scare.

The Potrero-avenue Improvement Club
held q very important meeting at Manner
bund Hall yesterday afternoon,
J. ID. Horn, in calling the property
to order, stated shat the object of the meet
ing was to protest against the establishment
Of the pesthouse on the County Hospital
grounds, and also to advocate the removal
of the latter Institution from the vicinity.
He also stated that ii was understood when
the County Hospital was first erected on
grounds set aside by the city as a park that
it would remain there only ten years.
1T has been there nearly twenty now"
said he, "and when it is time to remove it
and establish a park the Board of Health
steps in and passes a resolution recommend
ing that the Supervisors build Il new pest
house and locate it there"
/. j. Dwyer did not see how the Board of
Health could have given such an idea even
a passing thought. The proposition is a
m0nstruslty," said he, land one that never
has been or would be tolerated in any NUM-
cipalitv throughout the United States" lie
moved to appoint committee OF five to 60
before Il Boards of Health ana SuperYi-
sorS ard voice the sentiment Of the residents
o. the district In regard 10 the matter.
Tie following gentlemen were appon'ei
in accordance with the resolutions: Peter
Stolberg, John BarduhH, L.. j. Dwyer,
Henry SchulkeT and j. J. Wentworth.
Peter Stolherg, who resides near the pres
ent pestheuse on Twenty-fifth street. said
that 1t was a menace to the health OF the
present sparsely settled district surround
ing ii, and succeeded in proving this fact to
the satisfaction of all present.
"Only few days ago." said Mr.. Stolberg,
"a man came 10 the door of my residence
aud rang the bell. l answered it and found
a sick-lOoking man standing on the steps
He asked me where the PeSthOuse was To-
Gated and when | told him he volunteered
the statement that he was suffering with
smallpox in the most aggravated form.
We don't want lepers or small poX patients
in our midst and if the PeSthOuse is moved
on the County Hospital grounds the chances
are that some day an epidemic will break
out in the thickly settled district around it,
property will depreciate in value and house
owners will fnd that they cannot secure
tenants"
After a few more speeches of the same
tenor from other prOperty-ownerS the meet
ing adjourned until March 6.

control and durability, Ii will at once iud a
large field for its profitable use, provided, of
course, that ii can compete with the horse.
The vehicle, which we illustrate here
with, is a Boston production. The vehicle
is easily explained by the illustration. The
motor Is mounted centrally on the front
axle. with the armature above and parallel
with the axle on each end OF the aTmature
shaft is crank disk from which extend two
connecting rods to clutches below the axle,
these clutches being mounted upon short
shafts. arranged to reYOlVe beneath the axle,
with piniOns mounted upon the outer end
and set 10 mesh into gears mounted upon
the hubs of the wheels.
The motor is of closed field type, work
ing at 1000 revolutions per minute, with q
potential of 40 volts. Upon level grade a
speed Of from 10 to IL miles an hour can be-
accomplished. The steering apparatus and
brake attached to the same are ingenious
and readily operated by the person in
charge Of the vehicle. RELYING upon these
auxiliary attachments, the steepest hills
may be climbed with impunitY. The vehicle
cannot go backward, unless so directed.
Should the motor fail to act q connection
break or an accident of any kind 0ccur-tne
carriage will stop (and this irrespective Of
the brake).
Incidentally, it may be mentioned that
the storage cells with which the carriage Is
fitted. will also furnish light and heat, If

running.
4 few words must be said in regard to the
storage cells to be used on this vehicle.
They are of type which neither infringes
nor even suggests any storage cell hitherto
shown. A Lugo cell, while weighing nearly
two-thlrds less, will equal the capacity OF
any other known cell of similar superficial
area. IL will thus be seen that for road
carriages a suitable storage cell has already
been invented, Notwithstanding the unhappy
litigation which has been waged all these
later years.
Taken as a whole the combination is de-
cidedly IN the line Of progress. A most
careful investigation and tests disclose no
defects that cannot be easily remedied. AS
a method of propulsion it is admirably
adapted for all business purposes, effectlng
a saving of money aud time; for the trans
p0rtation of passengers and baggage over
routes where travel is insufficient to justify
the laying OF rails; over hilly or other
wise difficult roads, coaches could thus be
run with profit, with all the advantages
gained of a regularly constructed electric
Tailway.-EX.

lie maintained that the great trouble with
the Protestant religion to-day is the lack Of
Biblical knowledge, dye to the ignorance of
how to study the book. He considered
Sunday-school work the most important
undertaking in connection with the church,
and said that the model teacher required

The speaker discouraged dependence
upon "lesson helps" aud SundaY-school

A CHARTER OF LIBERTY.

True Character Attained When to Do
isht Becomes the Principle.
The lesson Of Mrs CoOper's Bible class
Yesterday was on "The New Covenant"
based on the words Of the prophet jeremiah:
% And they shall teach no more every man
his neighbor and every man his brother,
saying, know the Lord, for they shall all
know NE. from the least Of them unto the
greatest" jeremiah, said Mrs. Cooper, was
an UntiinchlHR, Outspoken prophet lie
dared 10 speak right out whether 1t re-
proved king, mobiles or people. He never
hiuched from duty; never ran and sat down
under a juniper tree longing 10 die. as did
Eujah. He was splendid example Of the
triumph Of the moral over the physical ma
ture. The people we're complaining that
they had 10 suffer for their fathers sins.
But the fact OF the matter IS every
man is responsible for his own deeds.
| No one can force US to sin, for
sin is a voluntary transgression Of the
law Of God. We are too apt to lay the
blame Of our unrighteOus deeds upon others.
( God said, 81 viii make a new covenant
with Israel and with Judah" The old
covenant was the best possible thing tor the
people of that time 1t was educatory in
| lis nature. The law prepared the way Tor
the gospel. The law had been written on
tables Of stone; the gospel was 70 be writ
ten on the tables Of the heart. The law was
| external anu uldteEIdls the kOSpel was TO DC
internal and spiritual. The law was full
! Of explicit directions-just as we govern
| children, that they may become self-gOveTn-
| ing. The new covenant enunclated great
principles instead Of minute rules of con-
duct. External rules gave place to in
ternal principles. True character is never
attained until TO do right becomes the
principle Of life. Whenever we have to
study to do q thing we are only on the ROAD
TO attainment We do not begin TO know
what we might attain Of truth Great
truths are awaiting disclosure; truth is for
ever unfolding. We do not begin to know
what new development tile human reason
Is capable of. We see wonderful disclos-
ures OF power in tile human mind. We can
not conceive what a ripe full orbed
human mind may conceive and do when
llumined by the spirit OF God. See what
Abraham Lincoln dared to do, and Edison,
and others who have blessed mankind.
81. doth not yet appear what we shall be"
Much power that now goes to sin will 60
TO righteousness. Power will be rightly APP
piled, and this world will then be brighter

WING CLUB SHOOT.
The First Match of the Season {
Great Success.

The California Wing Club celebrated st.
Valentines day in 'tip top" style. The
first club match of the twentieth season
was shot off on the Oakland race track and
although the outside attendance was but
small all the sportsmen present thol oughly
enjoyed themselves.
The day itself was everything that could
be desired for the sport, being clear, calm
and still The birds were very quick and
strong, rising like flashes from the traps,
and the shooting was fax above the amateur
average, as may be seen from the official
score. Especially may be mentioned the
really splendid work of Crittenden Robin
son who tied with G. r. Smith for first
prize. The two medals were awarded by
agreement so that no tie was shot off.
Robinson killed nearly all his birds
on sight, and rarely had occasion to
use his second barrel. Smith also showed
that he posse ssed marvelOusy uEerring
aim, and was quick as lightning with his
second barrel W hen ne missed with his first.
Ned Fay obtained third prize by some
really good shooting, but he had bad luck
with one bird, which fell dead out OF
bounds. thereby registering the popular
b0niface zero.
&. +. Taylor only possesses one arm, and
he sights and shoots from his hip. He
made wonderful good showing, no less
than four of his birds struggling out of
bounds after being fatally hit. III. Schr0e-
der was somewhat handicapped by having
to use strange cartridges.
After the match had been decided ten
sweepstakes at 81 30 a corner we're shot off
and afforded much genuine sport for both
spectators and competitors.
Tie following is tha official score.
