CHLOE'S STREPHONS.
AN AMOROUs YOUNG CLEOPATRA
OF FRESNO.
Che Has q Penchant for Running Away
with Young Men and Can Fall
in Love with Them
at Will.

Some people supposed that when
Chloe Bradway, the erratic young
woman of Centerville, got rid of Brock
Limbaugh and Frank Brown about a
year ago. says the Fresno Expositor, she
would forever abandon all idea of ro-
nance and escapades. But if reports
are true she has again gone off with q
swain of the plains, and one more
chapter has been added to the large
number which already make up her
history.
1t is reported on good authority that
between 10 and II O'Clock last Friday
night she ran away from her home in
Centerville with Thomas Hill, brother
of Constable Warren Hill. They have
not been heard from since. Hill is said
to be married, but living apart from his
wife.
The history of Chloe Bradway is go
well known that it scarcely need be re-
peated. However, as it is quite remark
able, brief outline may be given.
When she was about 13 years OF age
she announced that che would rival
Cleopatra. an account of whom she read
in one of the books in the library of
the Fancher creek school where she at
tended.
Her first step was to marry by con-
tract young fellow named Davis, who
lived in that vicinity. The marriage
created a tremendous row in the neigh
borhood, and the contract was declared
void, and young Davis went his way
sorrowing and Miss Broadway WAS taken
back to the parental roof.
About year ago she ran off with
Frank Brown. They started in cart
for Los Angeles to get married. Brown
took along chum of his, named Brock
Limbaugh, to fight for him in case of
pursuit. Limbaugh was a handsome
boy, and Chloe soon loved him better
than she did Brown, according to her
own testimony in court afterwards.
When they reached Tulare on their
way 40 Los Angeles she gave Brown the
grand bounce and ran off with Linn
baugh. About this time Constable War
rem Hill came sweeping like an eagle
| down upon them and gathered all three
of them up in his official talons and
brought them to Freeno.
! The girl was tent home, and Brown
| and Linn baugh gave bonds for their ap-
pearance. Brown went back where
Chloe was, and her father shot him
through the thumb.
| Several suits followed in court and all
parties were cleared or dismissed, and
Brown and Limbaugh wen away to-
| gether, perhaps censoling and comfort
! ing each other. ...,.. .,..,..,
Chloe went home, and now the report
comes that she has again run off, this
time with Thomas Hill. v

THE BOOMERANGERS.
Three Enjoyable Performances Yester.
day Afternoon,

Three Enjoyable Performances Yester-
day Afternoon.
Mr.. Cunningham's troupe of BOOM
erapg throwers and blacktrackers gave
a very fine performance at Athletic park
grounds yesterday afternoon.
There was some expert throwing of
this peculiar yet apparently simple in
strument, the boomerang, about which
30 much has been heard, and so little
is known. That a curved stick can be
thrown hundreds of feet into the air,
and without; meeting any opposing
force, rebound and return to the start
ing point, is a science that civilization
has not yet discovered, but which
seems to be mastered very sue
cessfully by these uncivilized
people. This is their amusement, and
one of their modes Of warfare. But the
boomersngs used in these exhibitions
are those used in their native jungles
for their amusement. These missiles
are not 80 heavy nor sharp pointed as
those used in warfare.
The corrobboree, or native dance, was
frightfully realistic. 1t is the dance be-
fore the feast, which is usually of human
hesh-some missionary or traveller roast
ed, or an enemy slain in battle.
Mr.. Cunningham, the veteran "freak
hunter" has spent several years travel
ing in South sea islands, and with much
difficulty secured this troupe of canni-
balls. They are the strangest specimens
of humanity ever seen in civilization.

SWINGING DOORS.

They Are Excellent Promoters of Very
Bad Temper.
One of the great Inconvenience of
this city, which strikes the eastern man
as an absurd custom, is the shop door
that swings both ways. The man COM
ing out meets the man going in, and
there is collision, and considerable
bad temper displayed. Besides, there
is always someone coming out when
someone is passing along, and the pedes-
trian catches the door full in the side.
1t may only knock his hat off, it may
strike him on the "funny bone" of the
elbow and be very serious matter for
while, or it may strike his favor;te
tight shoe. But it never misses. That
is what the door that opens outward is
for. The shopkeeper seems to think
that he saves space by giving the door
tnll swing. He only makes egress and
ingress inconvenient and pedestrianism
impossible on that side of the pavement.

Oh, that Christ's church might be
filed with Christ's spirit! that Christ's
men and women. stationed in all the
vocations of life, might redeem all they
touch! Beloved, you are going out to-
morrow into what you call secular duties,
To Gods children there is no secular.
You have consecrated your temples,
your hearts, perhaps your homes. Have
you consecrated your business, your
Office, your school, your club, your poll
tics? Behold, stand at the door and
knock" 1t ia the Masters voice. "If
any man open the door will come in
and sup with him and he with me-"
What do you think that means? Into
your heart? No, for He has already en-
tered that. But into those closed doors
that you have not opened to Him yet, the
doors that open to the broker, and
banker, and business man, and politi-
clan. He would enter the whole life.
Beloved, when you enter your place of
work tomorrow, whatever it be or whsr-
ever it be, let there be two of you that
cross the threshold, you and the Master
and let Him be master there also.

foot of Market street or the Southern
Pacific comyany's depot, the North Pa
citic Coast, the San Francisco and
North Pacific, the narrow guage to
Santa Cruz and from the Third and
Townsend streets depotis only 81 inches
long and 16% wide. On this chart
70 trains leaving this city are shown
and about 120 starting from outside
points for the city are also represented.
A handy way of determining the
time at which train starts from this
city is to put the finger on the destina-
tion point and run it down the line to
the city, the line chosen being that in
which the arrows point toward the fin
ger. Thus at Ogden there are two
circles at the end of lines pointing
toward the name; running the finger
down the chart toward San Francisco,
it will be found that at the end there
are two circles, one has the figures
q. m. and the other p. m, and at
these hours trains leave for the east via
Ogden from the foot OF Market street,
while they reach Ogden at 6 80 p. m.
and 5:15 a. M. respectively. Where
lines of one system connect with
another line drawn from one diagram
to the other shows the connecting point
and time of connection.
HIGH FREIGHT RATES.
The Redlands Citrograph says the iron
for the Orange street bridge was bought
in Philadelphia and was loaded on
single car, the weight being a little
more than the regulation 10 tons. The
cost of transportation from Philadel-
phia to Redlands was 1882. The Car
came through in IL days. A single
engine would haul Is cars, and $4,000
would probably more than cover the
expense of bringing the train through,
while the freight receipts on the Is cars
at the price charged would be $64S0, or
or net profit of $44S0 for single train.
The claim made by the railroad man.
ayers that the roads hardly pay ex-
penses would seem to be in the nature
of bluff. The necessity of more trans
continental roads, and more particular
ly for the completion of the Nicaragua
canal, are apparent when one considers
such figures as we have quoted. There
is also a suggestion carried in the figures
that the iron might be manufactured to
advantage on this coast. To be sure,
there are iron works in San Francisco,
but they take advantage of the existing
condition OF affairs and charge prices
higher than eastern prices plus this
enormous freight rate. Good healthy
competition all around would be boon.

torical summary of the wise men. In
that age they were natural philosophers,
dabbled in the occult sciences, and were
counsellors of state. They were regard.
ed with respect by the Medes, Persians
and other nations, but owing to some
prejudice against them at the time OF
the birth of Christ, they probably lived
in Messopotamia, from where they went
to Jerusalem. Things were in a state
of chaos then, and people be-
gan to look for something
that would promote a change. 1t was
this feeling of general expectation which
led the wise men to go TO Jerusalem.
The way they came was by the direct
ad, and the star only guided them
from that city to Bethlehem. This star
may have been either light especially
constructed for the occasion, or it may
have been conjunction of planets. 1t
could not have been comet, for in those
days they were regarded as evil omens,
s'gnltylng death, war or destruction,
and had the light been comet, the peo-
pie would not have followed it, but
would have retreated instead.
There are two symbolisms given to the
treasures brought by the wise men. The
ancient Interpretation was that the gold
signified royalty; the frankincense,
priesthood, and the myrrh, propheticai
office. The new Interpretation is that
the gold represented action; the frank
incense, sorrow, and the myrrh, self.sac-
rifice.
The main idea of the sermon was that
the journey and the gifts taught self
sacrifice. The present trouble with the
foreign missions WAS that all did not
consist in simply giving from the pocket
was more conservation and moral sup
port and not 80 many pocketbooks,
which would take care of themselves.
No service was held in the evening,
the congregation attending st. Paul's
church, where union services were held,
by invitation of Rev. Mr.. Bugbee.

corner of Second and Broadway as a

during the noon hours of every day and
invite all young women who will to
bring their lunches there to eat them,
and to spend their leisure time in rest
ing or reading. Books and magazines
are to be among the attractions, and
writing materials will be found at hand.
The young ladies hope to make this one
of the most attractive places in the city.

Trinity MuthOdfst.

For some time past the Rev. Mr..
Stradley of Trinity Methodist church
has taken the golden rule of the Sunday
school for that particular Sunday as the
text OF his sermon. This innovation
has been accompanied with profit to the
congregation and to himself.
Yesterday the text was: Except the
Lord Build the House, They that Build
1t Labor in Vain. The leading thought
was that we should not become dis
couraged because we cannot accomplish
great things, but should be comforted in
the knowledge that God in His wisdom
will direct our talents to the proper end.
The encouragement of the children OF
Israel in their attempts to rebuild the
temple at Jerusalem similar to Solo
mons temple, was spoken OF as an ex-
ample.
The people should not have become
discouraged at the failure of their at
tempts, for the glory of the first house
was more than equalled by that of the
