BESSIE is HERE.
What a Lucky Passenger
She Is!
ON THE BIG BELT ROUTE.
The Chicago Bess Mitchell Is Buried
in Flowers on Her Novel Jour-
ney Round the Continent.

Twelve thousand miles of railroad
travel in nineteen days without ever put
ting my foot on the ground. That is what

going to do unless some unforeseen accident
prevents me-" said Bess Mitchell of Chicago
yesterday morning.
1t was just dawn when THE CALL re-
porter was shown into the drawing-room of
the Pullman sleeping-car on the Oregon
express, and Miss Mitchell was already up
and dressed, anxious to see every bit of
California she possibly could through the
car windows.
The young lady. whose name In full is
Bess Mitchell Doolittle, is travelling from
Chicago to Portland, San Francisco, City of
Mexico, New York, Boston and back again
TO Chicago to win wager made between
some American and English railroad men
a few days ago, the former asserting that

The little craft rode the water as lightly

ready for the fray on Sunday. She cut the
water like a knife, and seemed to literally

IN AND ABOUT TOWN:

SHOT AT HooDLUMs.- Fl. Baker, n
Waterman living on Langton street, be-
tween Harrison and BRYANT, was charged
| last night at the Southern station with
| 'diseharging firearms within the city
| limits Several hoodlums stoned his
house, one Of the stones striking his little
| daughter, and Baker went cunning for the
| assaants. As lie had not hurt ANYBODY.
| but merely fired Two shots into the air, he
was allowed to go on his own recog-
| niZaDce.
FASTER MAIL SERVICE.-It is expected
| that, as contract has been made with the
| Cunard Steamship line to ca try European
| mails, the malls will arrive in this country
| one day earlier than before. This is due TO
the fact that the two fastest steamships on
| the Atlantic had been engaged to carry the
| mail. They are the Etruria and Campania.
| Thus the mail vessel from San Francisco
| to Auckland will receive her cargo one day
earlier and sail correspondingly.
IT WAS QUINN's IDEA.-The name Of NJ.
| X. Roberts was unntentioually used in an
| Interview in yesterdays CALL, in which
| that gentleman was quoted as saying that
| he suggested 10 Collector Quinn the Gordon
| plan of guarding the Chinese. Mr.. Quinn
received no such suggestion from Mr.. Rob-
| erts, and the credit for the idea is due to
| Mr.. Quinn, who sent TO Washington the
recommendations based upon it.

Early in the morning the collector saw
that the office of General McComb would
be too crowded to transact any other busi-

wisely concluded to move the Office for
registration out from behind the counters
into the main Office, where it is more handy
for all concerned. Three desks were put in
