A certain young lady who lives in

desperate, - eligible beaux are not

it in % dessert.
When the cord WAS drawn taut tho
goat reared up on his hind legs 10 an
effort to follow il up the side Of tho

unavailing. and he gave desperate
jerk: Then the trouble began. The
maid awoke. The goat gave another
violent pull that was almost q eject.

from her couch and hesoically smoth-

detaoh the cord and at tho same
instant tho goat gave another jerk.
The maid lost her equilibrium and
thought that she had also lost her toe,
but tho latter proved to DO an srron-
eous supposition. She orawled ON al
tours to the window and cried hoarsely
to her supposed lover: "Don't pull %,

Then followed an attempt to ur.

accompanied by feminine CRY of pain
from the upper regions.
Crazed BY the pain, she again called
down into the darkness:
"lf you DONE stop pulling that,
Augustus, l won't come down at all."
Another savage jerk and vail OF
bitter anguish burst uncontrolled from

{. A. R. NOTICE!

We take this opportunity OF in.
forming our subscribers that the new
Commissioner OF Pensions has been
appointed. He is 40 old soldier, and
we believe that soldiers and their heirs
will receive justice at his hands. We
do not anticipate that there will be
any radical changes in the adminis>
tration of pension affairs under the
now regime.
We would advise. however. that
U. S. soldiers, sailors, and their heirs,
take steps to mako application at
once, ii they have not already done
so, in order to secure the benefit of
the early fling Of their claims in cas- !,
there should be any future pension
legislation. Such legislation is sell
dom retroactive. Therefore it 10 of
great Importance that applications be
fled in the department at tho earliest
possible date.
If U. S. SOLDIERS, SAILORS, OR
THEIR WIDOWS. CHILDREN, OR Pa.
RENTS desire information in regard
to pension matters, they should write
to THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, AT
WASHINGTON, D. c., and they will
prepare and send the necessary ap.
plication, if they End them entitled
under the numerous laws enacted for
their benefit.

There was nothing particularly bright
about yesterdays racing at the Bay Dis

horses seemed TO enjoy it..
There were SIX races on the card, three of
which were devoted to the two-year-old
division. A couple of the other contests
were bit lopsided, SO the betting on the

Charles Wilson entered the North Harbor

Arnold, alias Powell Weber, his erstwhile
partner in the saloon business In Oakland at
1865 Thirteenth street.
wilson spent number Of years in Russia
and while In that country fell in love with a

GOING TO CHICAGO.
Excursions Are Few and
Far Between.
Election of Officers of the San Fran.
cisco and North Pacific
Railroad.

Worlds Fair travel has commenced. and
while it is source of much revenue TO the
active ticket-Sellers, there is not such rush
of applicants as had been expected right
along.
Most of the people prefer to travel singly
and without forming combinations. there
fore excursion parties are few and far be-
tween.
Each man or woman who intends to visit
the fair carefully makes the round of all the
et-offices and tries to make as good
bargain for himself or herself as possible.
In this manner there are many quiet cuts
made on the prevailing rates. and some
SIS pieces may be saved by pursuing that
method.
The irst-elass rOund-trip fare has been
established, and it is 500, but the second
class. or tourist excursions, offer still better
inducements. their rate being $50 50 for one
trip only, and after May il Will be $50 so
only.
This includes sleeping-car accommodations
OF the secOnd-claSs kind. and Is therefore
cheaper method of going to Chicago than
the frst-clasS service, which requires 500
for the round trip without furnishing any
accommodations whatever.
However, Phillips, who runs the Rock
Island excursions, has secured the Young
Mems Christian Association uaTty. which
ltdheS mere MhN SOlne IOIty people SIT eng,
and expects to gather strength as it pursueS
its way eastward.
Shearer. who is the Union Pacific's exeur-
sion agent, has c0rraled the SchOolteachers
and on May so he will turn lot of Caiifor-
MAS educators loose and send them TO the
Columbian Fair.
In an elaborate circular issued b. the
Union Pacihc Company, the trip to Chicago
and return on the teachers excursion is
figured ont to cost Sl64 so, including ten
days stay in Chicago.
j. p. Meehan, the local superintendent of
the Pullman Car Company, says that there
are D applications from large parties, but
that lots of people want to reserve drawing
rooms and sections every day.
Nv have aceOmm odations of that kind
reserved up to way into Seniember," said
he, land we receive calls for more every
day, but we h; g no inquiries for eXcur-
slODs On big sc and could not accOmmO-
date them, If they came IN, because our
regular service must be taken care Of first"

ACADEMIC FIELD DAY.
Athletes TO Compete for Champion
shin HonOrS.


To-day the athletes of the Academic
Association will compete for championship
honors at the Olympic Club grounds.
The Academic Association is composed OF
the high schools and academies in and
around San Francisco.
These hold field days twice year, and
the one tomorrow will be the regular
spring field day. Last year the Oakland
High School won the Championship. but
the Berkeley Gymnasium will put strong
team into the field this year and the eompe-
titiOn will be very close.
To add to the excitement there will be an
open half-mile race, in which Fred Pheby,
the crack distance runner. will enter. He
will try 10 break tile coast record that lie
now holds for this distance. and as 1t is his
last chance to try before he leaves college
he may be depended upon to come close to
the time. There will possibly he an open
pole vault competition also, and if this IS
the case Hoffman will enter to try to break
his record of 10 feet Az inrhes.
The Mount Tamaipas Military Academy
is said TO have a very strong team, and may
possibly come in as dark horse and win
the day
The games will begin at 30 P n, and no
admission fee will be charged for ladies.

AT THE CINNABAR SHAFT.
The State 1ineraIogist Visits the
Mine.
SHAFT.

Mine.
The newly appointed State Mineralogist,
J. j. Crawford. visited the new Mccarthy
quicksilver Ledge yesterday in company with
DR.. w. ID. Johnston chemist of the State
Mining Bureau.
They were much interested In the pro-
ceedings and examined the ledge, which
shows no indication of peterlng out at
present.
The trend of tho ledge has hitherto been
supposed to be northeasterly and south
westerly, but a discovery made by the min
Ing officials yesterday may alter this under
standing.
In their cursOry examination of the sur
rounding ground. which has recently been
plowed, they found cinnabar OutcroDpings
of decided character toward the NORTH
west corner of the lot and indications that
it extends in n northwesterly and south
easterly direction; that is, runs diagonally
across DevlsaderO street 20 McAlllster.
The State MineralOgist received some
good specimens OF the ore, one of which was
placed in the permanent mining exhibit in
the Pioneer building on Fourth street.
The other, weighing fifteen pounds, was
dispatched yesterday TO the Worlds Fair at
Chicago.
In conversation with Mccarthy it was evil
dent that the annoyance of people asking
for specimens Is wearing on his mind. AL
against he necessity of his furnishing every
one In the city and county with n specimen
of ore. In sheer self-protection he has been
advised TO charge nominal price for the
coveted bits OF ore and has almost made up
his nina to follow the advice. The prices
would be two and four bits" for different
sized specimens
Speaking Of McCarthy's alleged intention
to put up reduction works near his mine,
Curator burden Of the State Mining Bureau
declared the idea not feasible.
"Cinnabar," said he. SIS composed of
sulphur and mercury. and in its reduction
sulphurous acid gas is generated. the fumes
OF which would be voted nuisance in any
nelghbOrhoOd They destroy vegetation
and impair paint and other decorative
work, besides being very disagreeable to
breathing animals. A certain volume OF
these fumes can be seen Issuing from the
chlmneys of the Mint occasionally; they
arise from the process of dissolVing silver
bars In sulphuric acid. and if inhaled will
leave very unpleasant sensation In the
chest and throat.
This would be nien siied in tEe'cinnabar
reduction should mercurial fumes be given
of to any extent. for those are, of course,
dangerous"
Mccarthy, II this view prevails, will have
to find another place for his reduction
works than in populated district He
may possibly join forces with the Supervi-
sors and together they may unite on n site
which would accommodate a pesthouse and
reduction works as well
Anyway he seems undecided as vet what
to do with his ore
