The announcement OF the death OF
Mr.. Drexel came like a shock upon the
people of America. No man in the
country was better known in business
and commercial circles than Mr. Drexel.
while his acts of charity and benevolence
impressed him with the masses as man OF
kindly, liberal views, prompted in all his
social methods with the broadest spirit OF
philanthropy.
ITO the printing fraternity his loss is
one of peculiar sorrow and commisera-

among them that of Sacramento, which
is very attractive. The popular ex-

exhibit there.
The doctor says the Midwinter Fair

Miss Blair's Skill In Handling a Horse
Came in Well.
Miss Mollie Blair of this city had an
exciting experience with a runa way
horse on one of the mountain roads in
FL Dorado County few days ago, ac-
cording to the Placerville Democrat.
Itseems that Miss Blair. Mrs. Starks
and two children were coming down the
grade from Sly Park in a buggy when a
four-h0rse team behind them ran away.
The grade was narrow, and the driver of
the team behind, knowing the danger TO
all concerned, turned his horses into the
bank, throwing one of them down, and
thus stopped them, with no serious dam
age and but few bruises to himself.
Miss Blair's horse continued to run for
some little distance, when the wheel of
the buggy broke, but she cluug firmly to
the lines until she had managed to regain
control of him and assistance reached
her. II was almost miraculous that all
should have escaped without injury.
