Economy in Dress.

A sensible woman, talking abou,
economy in dress, says that the wear
of clothes depends largely ON the treat
ment we give them. Directly a stitch
gives away, mend it at once, if posi-
BILE. See that all walking dresses are
made short enough to escape the
ground at the back; nothing looks
worse than frayed out skirt or petit
coat. Renew the braid whenever it
becomes worn; the coat is trifling, but
makes skirt neat even when we'll
worn. Neatness is the first requisite
for good dressing. Even if you are
obliged to wear shabby gowns, they
are respectable SO long as they are
kept in perfect repair, and their shah
biness is much mitigated if the wearer
adds clean collar and cuffs.-N. Y.

Utterly Unreliable.

LONDON, Oct. THE reporter of tho
United Press had an interview yester-
day with the secretary of the Brazilian
legation in this city. with reference to
the situation in Brazil. The secretary
declared that many of the sensational
reports purporting to describe the sit
uation at Rio were utterly unreliable
and often specially manufactured. He
added that the legation had received
dispatches Thursday and yesterday
from Rio Janeiro, and that these dis
patches made no reference whatever to
a renewed bombardment of the city by
the rebel admirai's fleet.

Rules for the Napkin.

There is a good deal of uncertainty
as to whether it is or is not the thing
to fold napkin after a formal meal.
If one is staying in the house and
knows that napkin rings are in use
there it seems a reflection upon that
custom to fling the napkin down in an
untidy heap. An elegantly-appointed
table deserves better treatment, even
at the end Of the meal, than those dis
heveled piles napery. Therefore. 1t al
ways seems fittest to simply half-fold
the napkin and not attract attention
to it either by one obstrusive habit or
the other.-Philadelphi Press.

Another Serious Coal Miners Strike.

BRUSSELS, Oct. THE strike of the
coal miners in the Charleroi district
was revived unexpectedly last evening.
In sympathy with the men of the
Borninage district hundreds returned
to work yesterday morning. Shortly
before o'clock, however, men began
to leave the pits. Last night more
than 10000 miners were out, and the
number is likely to be increased to-day.
In several towns mobs have gathered
and are menacing the colliery officials,
and troops have been sent from the
large garrisons to aid the local author.

Flirting Prevents Marriage.


It is through Irritation, which has
advanced to something like a fine art,
that many manageable young folks
lose their chance in life. Filtration de-
stroyes confidence between the persons
who indulge in it; it prevents the
natural growth of mutual esteem; it is
not thing of good faith. 1t is an err
ror to suppose that lovemaking and
Irritation are identical; they are, in
truth, antithetical. Lovemalzing is
tender and ennobiing, while Irritation
is cruel, foolish and demeaning. The
one is to prelude the welded happiness;
the other is inimical to it. Young men
and women should exercise their
reason while on the lookout for suita-
BILE life partners; yet many of them
give encouragement to hirters, silly
flirters. who are taken up or thrown
off, with results that are often griev.

Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehac1a County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 100, $50 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
suodivlslons as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years a. which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no Part Of the prin-
cipAl is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate OF 7 per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
300 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down 10 fair
agricultural land At $40 an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its SET
tlement in smaller quantities and it's devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

TWO MONTHS MIC C2IE.
The Jeferis Cases Continued Until
June 18th.
One Witness Cannot Come Just Now,
and Another Must Come at
Once, or Wait Awhile.

The Jefferis murder and bigamy cases
have again been continued. They were
called in Judge Catlin's department of the
Superior Court yesterday, when District
Attorney Ryan said it was impossible for
the prosecution to go to trial without the
presence of Mrs. Ferguson, wife of the
SanFrancisco clergyman who it is claimed
officiated at the marriage of Jefferis and
Olga Ayers last July.
In moving for a continuance of the case
Mr.. Ryan presented the following atfi-
davit:
THAT the prosecution cannot safely
proceed to trial at this time on account OF
the absence of Mrs. w. j. Ferguson, who
is a material and necessary witness for
the prosecution.
That Mrs. Ferguson is resident OF
San Francisco, and she has been duly and
regularly served with foreign subpoena
to appear as witness at this time.
1.-The District Attorney is informed and
believes that on account of sickness the
witness is unable to appear at this time
and testify, and she is at this time con-
fined to her residence III San Francisco
under the care of DR.. Il. j. Corbitt.
The prosecution will prove by said
witness that the defendant, George b.
JelTeris, was married to Clara o. Ayres at
San Francisco on July S, 1892 that she
was present at said marriage and wit
messed the marriage ceremony and signed
the certificate of marriage as a witness.
That at the time OF his marriage with said
Clara .. Ayres the said defendant wore a
full beard. That the said evidence is
necessary and material and is not cumu-
lative, and the facts which the prosecu-
ton can prove by this witness cannot be
proven by any other person to the knowl-
edge of this at1iant.
THAT this affidavit is not made merely
for delay, but that Justice may be done in
the premises. That if a reasonable post
ponement of the case for a reasonable
time be granted at this time atliant be-
lieves he will be able to secure the per-
sonal attendance of said witness, Mrs. w.
j. Ferguson, at the next hearing of this
csse."
Mr.. Ryan explained that Mrs. Fergu-
son was wanted as witness in both cases
against Jetlerls. lie also submitted a
certificate of DR.. Corbitt that Mrs. Fergu-
son had not yet recovered from her con-
tinement in consequence OF the shock
from the sickness of her children, and
therefore, was not able to take u trip to
Sacramento.
AS one ofGeneral Harris witnesses, Mrs.
Jetferis, cannot postpone an important
domestic event long enough 10 accommo-
date Mrs. Ferguson's case, he said it
would be necessary to either try Jetferis
within Il week or have the matter post
poned until June.
MIR. Ryan favored the latter PROPOSE
ton, and by consent of the attorneys the
Court directed that the JetIeris cases be
continued 10 june 10Th.

People Want to Hear From That Water
Committee.
There is reason to fear that the Citizens
Advisory Committee on the pure water
question has forgotten all about the mat
ter and that, as heretofore, the thing will
be allowed to die out.
At yesterdays meeting of the City
Trustees, Mr.. Green expressed his disap-
pointment at the committees failure to
make report on the different PROPOSE
tons that had been submitted to it. The
people, he said, were deeply interested in
the matter, and the committee had been
long enough considering it.
Trustee Green is right. That commit
tee should either report the result of its
inquiry or resign and let others try their
hands at 1t. The water question is an
all-important one-second to none other
that this city has to solve-and the sooner
she gets at it the better.
