When women operatives strike they
do SO with a literal translation of the
word. Some Buffalo girls in a rag
house struck for higher wages Friday,
and because two of their number stood
firm for their places the others set upon
and beat them, tore their hair and raj
ment, and generally mauled them. a
body of police had to be called to the
rescues, and it is safe to wager that
they did not relish their GRAND. This
was sort of sectional hurricane and
had nothing to do with the furious wind
storm that traversed western New York
at about the same time. Chatauquo
and Erie counties suffered most severe
ly. One man was killed by falling
barn at Springville, trees were uprooted
buildings lifted bodily in the air, and a
general uprising took place. The
house Of George H. Tacott, at Talcott-
vile, Lewis County, was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground,
and the bodies of Talcott and his
brother were found in the ruins. The
damage done to buildings by the storm
is not less than $1oo, 900. An estimate
cannot be given of the ruin in vine
yards and orchards. One does not
need to live out in the wild and woody
West in order to have all the luXuries
ofthe season.
Mrs. John w. Mackay has arrived
in S. F. from "Eyrup." Her likeness
is blazoned forth in one of our dailies.

her wealth p has ruled Paris and Lon
don, or at least that part of those scyo-
phantic cities that crawls in the wake
of the bonanza kings wife. What
pity it is to be very wealthy; in the
glitter of the gold the better, truer,
modest qualities shrink back dismayed.
Mrs. Mackay is a devoted wife, a
fond mother and a generous benefact
ress, and yet when her name comes be
fore the public it is nearly always
in connection with her money and
her royally-planned entertainments
By the way, the would-be slayer Of
her husband has his trial on May 4th.
Mr. Mackay has no desire to prosecute
the man, but "the ends of Justice"
(how frayed out they must be from
constant use } must be served, and w.
c. Rippey must be brought before its
bar.
Santa Barbara's annual baSqHa de

grand flower carnival, is the great So

giving them a genuine Pacific coast
welcome. Luncheons, dinners, reCep-
tons follow each other in succession,
and they greet old and true friends
wherever they turn. Miss Fair has
attained her majority and the year spent
in New York under the apt tutelage of
of her sister has added finishing touches
to a sweet nature
OF course the nuptials of George r.
Shreve and Miss Jennie Watson, to be
celebrated at St. Luke's church next
Wednesday evening, will be a society
event of importance. Miss Bessie

while Ferdinand, good spouse that he
is, looks on approvingly from his throne,
wondering bit if Chris, will really &C

onyx clock, to which a tale hangs. The
twelve characters on the dial represent
twelve small circular views of points of
