Looks Bad for Curtis.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.--In the
trial OF actor M. B. Curtis for the
murder of Policeman Grant, Joseph
Holtz, treasurer of the Tivoli theater,
identified the pistol found near
Grant as the one which was brought
to him few days before Grants
death by a theater employe, who saw
it drop out of Curtis pocket as he lay
asleep on lounge in the theater
Office. w. II. Leahy, theater en-
ploye, testified that he picked up a
pistol which had dropped out of
Curtis pocket and gave it TO Holtz.
He identified the pistol found near
Grant as the one picked up. This
evidence is regarded as important, as
a strong point of Curtis defense was
that he never owned black handled
pistol like the one found.

4 Lealons Office Seeker.

A story is related by London Truth of a French official who was possessed of a very pretty wife and a particularly jealous temperament This official had frequently applied without success for certain post. At length his wife pro- posed to interview the chief in person and see if she could obtain for her hus- band what he had failed to procure for himself. On this being suggested the latter remained silent for considerable time, fiuctuating between ambition and jealousy. At last he devised a safe course. ''Yes. my dear, you have my sanction. But upon one condition only that you paint your nose deep red" The lady, it is needless to say, did not proceed with the interview upon these terms. It was afterward commonly said, however, that, the story having reached the chiefs ears, he good-na- turedly appointed the careful husband to the post.

MORE CHANGES IN THE MAP.
Further Discoveries in Africa-The Source
 of the Congo.


 NJ. Delcommune, the African ex- plorer, has sent a summary of his dis coverieS to Brussels. In this he says that the Congo issues from chain of mountains, which extends from the shores of the southern extremity of the Tanganyika lake to the extreme north of the NyasSa. It forms in those coun- tries river called the Tchambesi, dis covered in the course of the last cen tury by Portuguese traveller, Lacerda, and forms the chief affluent of Lake Banguelo. The waters of the Ban- guelo descend from height of HOO meters into Lake Moero, 900 meters above the level of the sea, by means of the River Laupala, 300 kilometers long, which is a succession of rapids. The MOerO constitutes a second reservoir, and sends forth stream 500 meters broad, which reaches the village of Ankorro by series of waterfalls. At this point it becomes navigable, re- ceiving upon it's western bank the Lua- laba, also navigable, whose waters have been swollen in their turn by the Lunga and the Lovoi on the western, the Lufira on the eastern bank and by the discharge of the Lakes Kabele, Upemba and Kassali. Between the eighth and ninth degrees of latitude, the Congo receives on the right the Lu- kuga, which draws off the overflow of Lake Tanganyika, as described by Cameron and Stanley. NJ. Delcom- mune confirms the assertions of these explorers that the Luluga is an unim- portant waterway, as its course is ob- structed, and only flows freely when the waters of the Tanganyil1a are ex- ceptionally high. The Luapala, on the contrary, empties Lake Banguelo, which was formerly an inland sea, but is now bordered by vast swamps. When the Congo finally reaches Nyangwe it measures 1900 meters from bank to bank. Lake Landji, though marked on he maps according to the reports of the Arabs, has no existence.

CASH THAT GOES ABROAD.

l It Is Estimated That Americans Spend
 S160,00o,ooO in Europe Each Season.
 It becomes interesting to inquire how many American tourists usually go to Europe every summer and return in the fall, and how much money they spend on their travels. Just year ago the San Francisco Argonaut collected statistics on the subject, which we pub Hshed at the time of the spring hegira to Europe, in order to give point to a, argument in favor of domestic travel It appeared that about so per cent of the cabin passengers arriving at New York from Europe were Ameri- cans returning from @ foreign tour: in other words, the total arrivals of cabin passengers at New York being 100, ,OO0. that 80,000 Americans visit Europe in the course of a year, mainly on pleas ure bent. It further appeared that these travelling Americans spent for their voyage across the ocean an aver age of S1OO each, or S2OO for the round trip, which would give S16,- 100000 for ocean transportation for the whole. As all the passenger steamships were sailing under foreign flags, this sixteen millions went into foreign pockets. How much American travellers spend in travelling through Europe varies so much that it is diff cult to strike an average. College pro- fessors, young ladies travelling alone, young men of limited means but bent on seeing the world, often make hasty tour of Europe covering fifty or sixty days for $500 head. Men who have means, and want to enjoy themselves, rarely find that they can cut down their expenses below $20 a day. And rich men, of whom there isa prodigious number in Europe every season, put their minimum expense at S1O,000 for four months trip for party of three. If we say that the average expenditure of American travellers in Europe is S15 a day per head, and the average length of the trip four months, or 12O days, we arrive at the result that the aggregate expenditure of the tourists amounts to the enormous sum of S144,- 100000. Add to this $16,OO0, ,00O for ocean transportation, and the total out lay of money by Americans in Europe each season is S16O,OOO,OOO.

FARMING NO LONGER LEADS.
Manufactured Products Amount to Much
 More in Value Than the Crops.

Manufactured Products Amount to Much
 More In Value Than the Crops.
 Agriculture is supposed to be the foundation of our progress and pros perity, writes R. H. Edmonds in an ar ticle in the Engineering Magazine on modern progress. This is to large extent true, and yet while the value of our manufactured products in 1890 was Ss,610, 600, ,O0O the total value of our agri- cultural products in that year was only about $S, 500, 100000. The opening up of new land by the heavy immigration into the west brought into cultivation ten or more years ago a larger area than the consuming power of this eoun- try and the foreign demand added jus tifed.
 In a pamphlet recently published by CsWood Davis it is shown that the area cultivated in staple food crops increased from 1875 to 1880 on an average of 6.S per cent. a year, and since then has steadily declined, having been 3.9 per cent. from 1880 to 1885. and then 1.4 per cent. from 1885 to 1890. In other words the total cultivated area is now in- creasing much less rapidly than our population.
 Of course in view of this the agricul- tural productions of the country do not show any such phenomenal advance as has arBed the growth of industrial interests. The total value of all az ricultural products in 1880 was esti- mated at S, 700, 900, 900. James R. Dodge, the statistician of the agricul- tural department, estimated the value in 1890 at S3,SO0, ,OOO, ,0OO-a gain of S1O0,- 900, Notwithstanding a heavy aver age decline in price and very short crops owing to bad weather. In 1891 large crops brought the total value up to S4,50O, ,000, ,000. The number and value of farm animals increased very heavily during the decade, the total value having been S1,576, 900, 900 in 1880 and 2,41S,OOO,OO in 1seO-a gain of SS40, ,O0O, 900.

Ital.an Immigrants as slaves.

The brutality of the contractors to- ward their subjects battles description. writes Dr.S. Merlino in the April Forum. The contractor is a strongly built, powerful man; he has acquired. the habit of command, is we'll armed, pro tected by the authorities, supported by such of his employees as he chooses to favor, and, sad to say, by the people, who are hostile to the laborers. He often keeps guards armed with Win chester rifles to prevent his men from running away. His power has the es- sential characteristics of a government. He fines his men and beats and pun ishes them for attempted resistance to his self-constituted authority On Sun days he may either force them to at tend church or keep them at work. I have been told of contractors who taxed their men to make birthday presents to their wives. X feudal lord would not have expected more from his YassalS.

BOGUS HYPNOTISM.
Astounding Confessions Of Fraud
 by Professional Subjects.
Some of the "Fakes" of Humbug Mes merfsts fin Europe-How a Man Was Apparently Hypnotized
 by TeieDhone.

Hypnotism has been having hard time lately in London, Paris and Eu- rope generally, but especially in Eng land. Confessions of professional sub- jects have become common. There is, indeed, very strong disposition to reject hypnotism entirely and consign it to the limbo of exploded fakes
 The London Times had a series of letters some time ago from an eyewit- ness and alleged investigator of the re- markable doings of Prof. Charcot and other less noted doctors in Paris, de- scribing in detail the ''desensitiza- tion" of subjects, the ''mind transfer ence," and all the wondrous things made familiar to us of late years, and setting up seemingly strong case in favor of all that has been claimed for hypnotism.
 This induced MT. Labouchere of Truth to tell of an interview he had with one of the hypnotic subjects most before the public short time ago. This subject gave undoubted evidence that he humbugged the doctors throughout, and that by practice he and other well-known subjects, whom he named had cultivated the ability to eat candles and soap, and to drink castor oil and pepper sauce when ''un- der the infuence,' smacking their lips as if eating cake and drinking wine, as suggested" to them. He permit ted needles to be thrust through his ears and checks, and thoroughly satis- fled Mir. Labouchere that he could sub init to all the wonderful things com mon in hypnotic demonstrations.
 This seemed to hurt the mesmerist business, and apparently the subjects were thrown out of work. They have turned to and deluged the land with confessions. Some are astounding, all are amusing. One man tells how he travelled for a year, along with five other subjects, with one of the best known travelling mesmerists in the country. The man was really able to mesmerize people and perform some of the actual wonders of the remarkable agency; but he did vast amount of 'tfaking." One time he declared to a committee of local doctors in provin- Cldl UOWn budG uC COElu do edSlIy uyp- notize a man over the telephone as face to face.
 The professor went about a mile away, called up his desired subject to the telephone fixed on the stage, and told him to go to sleep. The man promptly complied, and the doctors jabbed pins and needles into his flesh, pinched him, pulled his tongue and pol1ed his eyes. The man was in pos session of all his senses. A dozen times he wanted to yell but held out, know ing that the professor was driving to the hall as fast as horse could bring him. Finally the subject was placed with his feet on one chair and his neck on another, and two fat doctors sat on his chest. His backbone was just giving out when the professor rushed breathlessly into the hall and released him. This subject soon after ward resigned.

Early Impressions Are Tasting.

Every one must have found how diff cult it is to eradicate early impressions, or to overcome prejudice acquired later in life. Our first impressions cling to us with tenacity which no change of place or situation can de stroy. The home of our childhood, the friends and associations of our youth ful days, form images in our renen- brance which can never be wholly ob- liberated. The wanderer from his na- tive country may in his adopted home meet new associations and acquire more wealthy connections and higher standing in society than he held in the land which gave him birth, still the humble dwelling in which he was reared, the partners of his early joys and sorrows, the habits he was accus- toned to in youth, are all .grcea spots" in his "reminiscences. c0ntinu- ally yyatered from the fount of never failing memory.
