PERSONAL AND PECULIAR,

Anthony Comstock has gone to Chica-
go to deal with some of the performan-
ces on the Midway Plaisance. He made
complaint of dance in the street OF
Cairo and got the stereotyped answer
that the dance is performed under a
contract which the management cannot
violate.
Little Tiger, a Seminole chief, is on
his way to complain to Governor Mitch
ell of Florida that his (Little Tiger's) son
has been logged by white man. AS
the story is told in Florida the boy per
sisted in trespassing, was warned off, and
declining to heed the Hwarning was
caught and whipped. There are about
500 of the Indians, and white people who
live thereabouts are anxious as to the
outcome.
James Smith, who lives at 10 Hamil-
ton street, New York, celebrated his 1880
birthday on Tuesday. The manner oil
celebration is thus described by the New
York World: {" He smoked a quiet pipe,
just as he always does, in the morning
took little nip of good Irish whiskey
as an eye opener, just as he has for over
eighty years, and after little stroll
down to the corner of Catherine street
and back, took his accustomed seat in
his big arm chair and nodded the day
through"
A sensation was created in the New
York World office lately when Col.
Charles III. Jones walked into the edi-
torial rooms and assumed direction OF
the paper. He comes to the World not
only as editor, but as the personal repre-
sentative of Mr.. Pulitzer, with supreme
authority over all departments of the
paper. Col. Jones was until two months
ago editor of the St. Louis Republic.
A resident of Pineville, Oregon, has a
porcupine from which he has shorn the
quilts, leaving it perfectly harmless.
The porcupine evidently realizes that
it is deprived of its means of defense,
and instead of being on the defensive is
quite docile.
Asbestos is mineral fibre of the horn
blende variety. 1t derives it's name
from a Greek word which means in
destructible by fire." The ancients were
familiar with it's uses and the modes OF
obtaining it, yet, strange to say, always
alluded to it as a vegetable production.
1t was used in all their funeral rites,
but particularly where cremation was
practlced, the corpse pelng wrapped III
an asbestos cloth SO. as to keep the ashes
of the dead person from mingling with
those of the wood or other combustibles
uesd in incarceration of the remains.
The people of Egypt and many other
countries Of the ancients, especially the
royal and wealthy classes, made towels,
napkins, tablecloths, etc, of asbestos,
and cleaned them by throwing them
into the fire.

King Oscar of Sweden has invited
Emperor William of Germany to take
part in an elk hunt in Hunneberg this
summer. The hunt was to take place
last year, but was postponed, as the en-
peror was obliged to return to Berlin.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9.

A Providence man who was alarmed
lest the bank would break, drew out
his money, $4,000, and put it where ne
thought it would be safe. The next
night his roommate stole it. Probably
not much of the money drawn from the
banks will be stolen by roommates, but
a good deal of it will be lost or fooled
away.

Congressman Springer has tariff bill
in his pocket which he thinks will meet
the views of the administration. 1t puts
raw materials used in home manufac-
lures on the free list and reduces the
duty on manufactured goods somewhat.
In other words it IS protective measure
as far as manufactured goods are con-
cerned, and is therefore, according to the
Democratic national platform, unconsti-
tutional and fraud upon the people.

We are not responsible for the Sherman
law, says Speaker Crisp to his Demo-
cratic brethren. In narrow sense that
is true. The Democrats did not vote
for it. But they were largely response
BILE for the creation of a condition where
Congress was compelled to choose be-
tween evils-the evil on one side of free
of restricted coinage such as was pro-
yided for by the Sherman act. When this
dilemma was presented the Republicans
chose the smaller evil-the Sherman
act. The Democrats chose the greater,
free coinage Had the Democrats con-
trolled Congress we should have had
free coinage foisted upon us. Further
more at the last session of the Fifty-Sec-
ond Congress the Sherman law might
have been repealed by the Democrats
for they were in overwhelming majori-
ty. They let it remain, however, though
its repeal was urged upon them, and
now they are claiming that they are in
no way responsible for it. AT the same
time they admit that it is only by Re
publi.aa help that they can repeal it at
the present session. Should the Republic
cans in the present Congress follow the
precedent set by the Democrats in the
Fifty-first Congress and not vote when
the question of repeal comes up, the
Democratic friends of repeal would be
beaten by an overwhelming majority,
unless they consented to a substitute
worse than the measure complained of
In one breath the Democratic leaders
disclaim all responsibility for the Sher-
man law, and in the very next appeal
to the Republicans to lay aside all parti-
sanship and come to their assistance in
the work of repeating this very same
law

The Adamic Santa Monican Sent to
jail.
Theodore L. Hansen, the fig leaf fiend
whose recent escapade in breasting the
pillows near the old wharf, minus any
habilliment, has been duly chronicled
in the HERALD, was tried by Justice j.
N. Willis and jury OF his peers at
Santa Monica yesterday, when City Al
torney Tanner was the prosecuting at
torney.
The defendant was also present and
tried his own case. All of the witnesses
for the state told the story of the de-.
fendant's going to the end of the wharf
and after getting down to hard pan as
far as clothes were concerned, his start
ingin the surf while the women ecat-
tered from that neighborhood and his
subsequent arrest by the constable.
The defendant said: "That God, the
benign lover of mankind, made the
ocean, and made man without his
clothes. He made bathing not only an
exhilarating pastime, but necessity,
and that being poor, out OF work, and
needing bath, he simply followed
Adams example and dove in"
He claimed to have put fig leaf about
his person, but Constable Dexter said it
could not be found, and the jury found
him guilty. Then it was Judge Willis
turn. The justice, by the way, is a
benign gentleman who hates to sentence
fellow creature, and after reading the
Hansen lecture and telling him he
would be easy with him, took everyone'e g
breath away by fning him $50 or SO
days, and the constable brought him to
the county jail, where he now Ian

Where i.oses Grow.

For many centuries the growing of
roses for the manufacture of perfume
has been an important industry in many
places.
In the south of France and in Algeria
rose culture is conducted upon, large
scale. Shiraz, in Persia, and Ghazipur,
in India, have long been important CEN
ters of the industry, and SO has Medine-
tel Fayoum, in Egypt. But, most noted
of all, yielding the largest quantity and
the finest quality, is Kazanlik, in eastern
Burnolia--the valley of roses.
This lovely valley lies on the southern
slope of tho Balkans, sheltered by their
towering sides from the cold north
winds, and is the center of district
which yields on an average nearly 1000
pounds avoirdupois of altar of roses, rep
resenting commercial valuo of $3.50, ,000

Tho Popular Young Banker Returns
from San Francisco.
s. B. Dewey of the Bank OF America
is again smilingly exchanging cash for
checks at the old stand where he has
for so many years been accommodating
ly serving the bank and the public.
Mr.. Dewey has just returned from q
two weeke' visit to San Francisco, and
was brinlming oyer with all kinds of
gossip gathered on the fly while there.
He found business to be very quiet and
not in proportion to that transacted in
this city. according to the population.
The people there attribute this to the
worlds fair, and all expect great re-
vivsl this winter.
The senatorial fight was red hot, and
from the crowd OF would-be statesmen
that a. this time make the Palace hotel
their headquarters, during the daytime.
he gathered the following: The general
opinion prevails that the Examiner was
pushing De Young 30 that that paper
might hear the dull eickening thud
when Governor Markham named some
other man for the position.
Almost every one was sure In their
own mind that dark horse" would
finally secure the coveted chair.
Amusements, on which Mr.. Dewey is
an authority, were quiet, only two OF
the big theaters were open. Frohman's
company at the Baldwin was doing q
good business. Stockwell's stock COM
pany was doing only fair business.
The amateur sports are now talking
very respectfully of the Southern Cali
fornia boys, especially since their re-
cent victories.
In speking of the new Olympic club
rooms, Mr.. Dewey grew very enthusias-
tic and longed for the time to come

how many good purposes it serves. A
