Just Wanted to Arrive.

The corridor of the Grand Pacific
Hotel was crowded with arrivals
anxious to register. Men wiped their
wet faces, while the sachels beside
them almost perspired from the
tedious journey.
The clerk wore his happy ''how-de.
do smile and was apparently
of the heat, for he looked cool and
calm.
During the rush some little diver
sion was created by the appearance of
a soiled and ruffied individual who
trickled through the throng at the
desk and fought his way toward the
clerk.
He was a typical ''tramp," not the
tramp that "Mark Twain portrays
(F'but the real, alive, everyday. Clark
street, corner Of Adams street,
tramp'), a tramp with a record, q
tramp that might have been a million
aire but wasn't.
The rugged, stalwart, dirty fellow,
elbowed his way until he arrived in
the presence of the room magnate,
and taking the pen from the potato
which held its point signed.
He signed q name that would do
credit to q society swelL-Donald Har-
old Bedrock.
Every one stood aghast a. the au-
dacity of the fellow. The clerk pol
ished the headlight that adorned his
shirt front, and asked in a third-foor
voice:
"Dinner?"
"NNo."
"supper?"
"No."
"You want a room, of c~ourse2"
"No!'
"What on earth do you want them"
81 Just want to arrive; that's al.
I've been trying to arrive for three
years and I've got there at last!
The impatient crowd ''dissembled'
while the clerk reached into the safe
for a six-shooter, but the tramp, Mr..
Donald Harold Bedrock, took the po-
tato which had held the quill. AS he
separated himself from the office his
teeth played a E'tatoo" on the Murphy,
and with the ink dressing he seeming

Graceful Walking.

An English authority on graceful
walking says that the body should be
held erect, the shoulders down, chest
extended and the leg moved from the
hip, the whole figure above being inn
movable. Graceful walking is neglect
ed nowadays more than ever, and
might be classed among the lost arts.
Every one can propel himself, bu; that

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Glematis likes water.
Mulch the sweet peas.
Chilled buttermilk makes a refresh
ing drink.
The successful dairyman feed and
milks the cows regularly.
The temperature of the milk is all
item of first Importance.
IF you have not started a compost
heap for next years use, do it now,
Unless water is plenty, don't take
the fresh mown grass from the lawn.
See that the hay stacks in the meadow
are well secured before the stock is
turned in.
The shorter the silage is cut the bet
ter. Half an inch or less gives the
best results.
To get the most good from bran il
should be fed along with corn and sim
liar food stuffs.
In raising tomatoes employ those
fertilizers which give up their food ma-
terials quickly.
If rains wash off the insecticide o.
fungicide, renew it as quickly as pos
sible after rain ceases.
Top dressing of good manure upoH
the timothy field will be quickly pro-
ductive of good results.
If the clover pasture has dried M
feed the shoats fresh cut. corn and keep
pushing them right along.
Don't wait till the grass is wood be-
fore you cut it. There is more milk
and butter in early cut grass.
Fairly strong walnut water is re-
commended as an excellent wash for
horses troubled with insect pests.
The best animals for the farmer are
those which keep in a good and thrifty
condition with very little difficulty.
Provide shade, water and ~succulent
food for the mich cows during a dry
spell, if you would have themdo well,
Do not feed the horses on an ex-
elusively rough ration at this time
of the year, but give q supply OF grain
feed.
These scorching days a fresh, fragrant
bouquet is doubly grateful to the sick
and the aged; do not neglect or forget
them.
Don't force any more new growth
on plants that are to winter out, but
allow the growth already formed to
ripen.
The man who works with well laid
plans is seldom crowded with work;
he is in a position to do the crowding
himself.
Lime greatly stimulates and makes
active the inert elements of the soil,
and makes them available in plant
growth.
All milk utensils are better cleaned
if rinsed with cold or lukewarm water
before scalding water or stesats D. sps
piled to them.
A perfect Cheddar cheese is n that
has a clear skin, that is white in color,
solid and firm in texture, and that has
a slightly nutty flavor.
A kind master is one who has the
horses good Will, n sucn D man can
get more work out of them than one !
who treats them harshly.
Young orchards are very apt to be
injured If not ruined by ~overbearlng.
Young trees need growth. The heavy
crop should come afterwards.
At this time of the year extra teams
are in demand for farm work. It 1s
poor policy to buy them if you cannot
keep them in good condition.
ltdoes not hurt the horse now if he
is allowed to work without shoes. |
Unless there is an abundance of rocks,
IL is NOT necessary to have them shod.
Do not wait too long before cutting
up the corn If you wish the fodder TO

WE CAN imagine OF nothing the en-
ployed and unemployed workingmen in
this state could do that would act more
in opposition to their own interests than
to permit themselves to be led into any
demonstration of violence against the
Chinese. Violence towards the unwel-
come people is always to be deprecated;
hrt it lie particularly go at the present
corjuncture when the powerful senti-
mental antsgonism to the Geary law is
about to make itself felt in congress. To
resort to extreme or unlawful measures
egsinet the Mongolians at the present
time would be to place weapon in the
hauds OF the pro-Chinese that would
be apt to undo all the advantages we
have gained in thirty years OF agitation
for exclusion. If the workingmen will
only exercise prudence our representa-
tivee will be able to legislate effectively
for tie practical exclusion of the objec-
tion able aliens. Let calm judgment and
judicious couDsels wait upon the men
who are invested with the serious
responsibility Of guiding the actions of
the workingmen at the present critical
ceujunctrre. One false Etep may make
ue irretrievably lose all the ground we
have 80 patiently and laboriously gained
in this great controversy. The man
who advises or countensnces violence is
no friend OF American labor, but its
most dangerous enemy.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

American dramstists and American
dramas were never in such great de-
msnd as now. The wonderful success Of
such plays as Shenandoah, Alabama,
The Girl I Left Behind Me, and Bron-
son Howard's latest work, Aristocracy,
has proven conclusively that we have
all the material necessary for dramas of
intense human interest right in our own
country. The filthy and fyothy French
plays and the lurid English penny

driven from the field. Aristocracy,

BANKS are very excellent institutions.
but for now these many years they have
not been supposed to make the interests
of the masses their exclusive concern. A
gentleman who was once very popular
in the United States, named Andrew
Jackson, sntagonized the United States
bank, presided over by Nicholas Biddle
-"Emperor Nick" as he was called
and the sentiment of the masses was
then and is now strongly with jackson.
Tho bankers of the UnitAd States on the
18th of September design to make a

purpose. Congressmen who desire to
have future should be a little careful

strate themselves to be the slaves of the
money power. Hari-kari is not neces-
saNly confined to Japan. The American
people are in a very serious mood just

people of the United States through

former visit here, WAS mentioned In the

this seems not to be the case. Mr..

THE most cheerful view we have seen
OF the Bering sea arbitrators' decision is
furnished by an American in Paris per-
sonally interested in the seal fisheries.
He says that the zone of protection in
cludes within its limits the feeding
grounds Of the herd. and that the area
in which the most OF the slaughter has
been done. Within these limits seal
hunting 10 entirely prohibited, and as
sealing outside Of that zone will not pay,
the occupation Of the hunters in pelsgic
waters is entirely gone. As fire.
arms are prohibited in hunting
the animals, and provision is
made to examine all skins at the San
Francisco, Victoria and London custom
houses, and to con6scate all pelts show.
ing that firearms were used in the kill
ing Of the seals. another powerful safe
guard is secured against their illicit
slaughter. He cheerfully concludes
that the United States have got
more than they asked for. They
not only got . close season in
Bering sea, but close season in the Pa
cific ocean as we'll. We are required to
make compensation to those sesIers that
were seized before the modus vivendi
went into effect, and the amount we
shall have to pay will depend greatly
upon the rules by which the court of
claims may be governed. We can hardly
believe that consequential damages will
be allowed to figure in the amounts
awarded.

THOSE SIDE ENTRANCES TO GO,

It will be another week before the new
saloon rules regarding side entrances
can be put into effect. This was made
fact by the police commissioners
meeting yesterday morning.
Mayor Rowan, Commissioners Bradish

ent. Mr.. Weldon had to go away, con-
sequently an adjournment was almost

deavor to put the new law into effect a.
near as possible to September lat.

soon remains to be seen.
There seems to be some question 90 to
which class Of saloons the new rules ap-
ply. The rules distinctly state that mo
liquors shall be sold or drank in any
booth, side room, upper or lower room
upon the premises or connected by use
thereto except those where the interior
is in plain view Of tine saloon bar"
There are one or two saloons in the
city having upper rooms that the rules
do not touch, owing to their being open.
As will be seen by the rules, the booths
will have to 60, but in some instances
they will be replaced with upper open

Father Has His Son Arrssted for

An old man by the name OF Story swore
out warrant in Justice Bartholomew's

The warrant was placed in the hands
of Officers Auble and Goodman. and the
Young man, who was found at his home

and locked up, the otfense not being bail
able.
The circumstances surrounding the ar
rest are peculiar. 1t seems that q young
ladv, a cousin Of young Story, has been
visiting at the house for come time, and
that in company with Albert she has
been attending religious revival meet
inos which have been held in the viclni-
ty Of the house.
