A Startling Contrast.

Two chorus girls came out Of the stage
door Of Palmers theater one evening.
One was covered with satins and laces,
and the diamonds which adorned her
little pink ears made the electric lights
ashamed Of themselves. She slammed
the old wooden door with haughty air
and waved pretty white gloved hand.
Her coachman was quick to see his sig
nal, and o private victoria was soon be-
side the young woman. The driver got
his orders in q low tone, and the carriage
was whirled away. The other chorus
girl was pale, thin and actually looked
hungry. A cheap dress, evidently de-
signed and made by its wearer, and a
winter hat formed part Of her Costume.
A bundle of sewing in her hand proved
that she wasted no time between the
acts. -
While waiting for car she counted
the few pennies-jn her possession. She
looked at an approaching car and at her
bit Of money, then resolved to walk.
Manager r. E. Rice and a friend had
been standing near the stage door.
"What remarkable contrast In thetwo
picturesl" said the friend. Both receive
the same salary" explained the man
ager as he shrugged his shoulders, "but
it's the old story-the first one saves her
money and the other doesnt."-New

Men and Bears.

A man named Conn went hunting for
bear near Creede. Colo, the other day.
He wanted to do little killing just for
fun. Presently he stirred up she bear
with two cubs, and he banged away at
the cubs, wounding both. The mother
resented this boisterous humor and
chased Mr.. Conn up tree and dallied
with him awhile herself. Mr.. Conn was
buried by his friends next day, victim
of his own superexuberant lust for fun.
The bear is a peaceable, inoffensive
creature. It seeks home remote from
the haunts of humanity. 1t certainly
seems to have somo rights which man
kind should respect. We have no SYM
pathy with people who make practice
of going about slaughtering game in cold
blood merely "for the fun of the thing"
If man is so inhuman as not to enact
and conserve laws for the protection Of
the bear, we certainly shall applaud the
bear for protecting itself.-Chicago Rec

Color and Nervous Diseases.

"The profession" says o specialist in
nervous diseases, "has been interested
in o mode of treatment recently tried in
Italy for nervous disorders, in particular
those allied with insanity. 1t is called
the color treatment and is merely the
confning of patients in rooms whore the
walls are colored certain tint, the light
coming through glass Of the same hue.
Red, blue and violet are colors that
have exercised very perceptible and
beneficial effect on disordered minds, es-
pecially violet A raving patient sud-
denly put into violet room became per-
fectly quiet at the end Of an hour or two.
The red rooms are said to have an excel
lent effect upon melancholia, brighten
ing up the patients and,making them al
most cheerful"
Which at once opens vista Of fur
nishing possibilities that may be part
of the future housekeeper's curriculum.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 19.-Local base
ball affairs have been at . standstill
siuce the league disbanded. Manager
Harris and his men are in the city yet,
and could be called together on half 3
days notice, for they are all home
talent and do not travel across the state
line as soon az the summers ball is
over. The Oakland team, too. lie still in
the vicinity. the majority Of the nine at
least, and the reason of that, ss related
by the men themselves, is that their
salaries are still unpaid. Every man
that was brought here by ex-Msnager
Robinson and retained by Manager
Geischen is from the east, their homes
extending from Baltimore to Holyoke,
Mase.
"We have never made any trouble
over our salaries sinco Robinson went
out of the league" said one OF the Oak
land team today. "Geischen took hold
in good shape, and every body felt satis-
fed to let the salaries roll up. don't
doubt now that we will get our money
all right. but Geischen owes us some
thousand dollars for work we have done
and we are kept here waiting for it.
Several of the men have had opportuni-
ties to sign with good teams in the east,
but we cannot get away while money is
owed to u.s."
1t is understood that Geischen is able
and willing to pay his men, and it is
believed he has some scheme in holding
the team here. He may be trying to
keep the men in Oakland to meet any
sudden uprising Of Harris, or he and
Harris may have plot to keep the two
teams here a while without salary, and
then to swoop down on the public with
a grand midwinter fair championship
series between Oakland and San Fran.

in holding back the salaries, but Harris

REDUCED ASSESSMENT.
THE CITY's VALUATION HIGHER

But the Asssssment Has Been Reduced

tlonately.

City CLERK Luckenbach yesterday
completed the footings OF the city assess
ment roll.
The assessed valuation OF all property
after deductions amounted to s47 ,3OS,-
988. and the amount was lowered to
$47,2l1, ,l73 by the board Of equalization.
The reduction from the assessors figures
made this year by the board Of equsliza-
tion, ~ will be seen by the figures,
amounts to $97,Sl5 Last year it was
$50, 900.
The principal part OF the reduction
WAS on the cable railway of the city and
on premiums OF United States bonds,
which the city attorney gave ss his
opinion were not assessable. All of the
reductions were acquiesced In by the
assessor.
The assesssble property in the city
this year is so, ,000,00 more than it was
last year, showing steady increase.
1t will be week before the tax levy
can be fixed by the finance committee.
Last year the rate was 81, and it is
thought the rate this year will reach

COL. MAYBERRY ON SILVER.

He FavOrs Free Coinsge Under Certain
Conditions.
Colonel May berry of Alhambra, man.
ager and principal owner in the Hemet
Land company and Lake Hemet Water
company and director in the First Ma
tional bank OF Los Angeles, ,'has clear
and decided views on the silver question.
The colonel lie deep thinker and man
who has done much toward the develop
ment OF Southern California. In re.
cent interview he said: II have been
sitting under pine tree on the shore oI
Lake Helmet pondering. over the silver
question, and the matter seems simple
enough. In the first place, the govern
ment should do everything in its power
to protect the silver industry. Every
ounce OF silver taken out of the ground
is imperishsble, and as many men as
can be worked in silver mines should
find employment digging out the pre-
cious metal. / do not believe we can
have too much money. If the $75, ,000, 900
in silver produced by the United States
were coined each year it would only give
us little over dollar per capita addi-
tional money.
Free coinage of silver, however, un-
der present conditions ia impossible.
The government could not maintain the
standard If compelled to make up the
difference between the foreign price OF
silver and the value OF q dollar; besides
this, foreign silver would flood our
mints.
''If the president and congress will
legislate for American citizens, regard
less of what England thinks or does, the
matter could be settled at once. First,
let congress- fix the standard OF silver
is to is as good ratio as any other
then place duty on foreign silver equal
to the difference between the present
London price and the standard decided
upon. Free coinage OF silver under these
conditions would be safe. Gold will take
care OF itself. The issuance OF bonds
would not benefit you or me or the la
boring man. Confidence will be restored
without it, and those boarding gold will
put it into circulation"
We were driving around Hemet when
a farmer hailed us. will you sell me
some lumber and take a'horee instrade ~
asked the fsrmer. s"No, III have al the
horses / require,p said the colonel.
"Now, that man ought not to want
money!" he continued as we drove on.
under the plan suggest he would not
be forced to keep horse he did not
want, and in its place he would have the
money to buy lumber with"
: If was quite safe to ride with the
colonel that day. He was so interested
in the silver question that he forgot to
gallop his horses.

There is law against selling whisky
to the Indians in Alaska, yet fully 200
barrels of the stuff are sold there by the
whalers and sealers every year. When
the steamer Australia leaves for Homo

barrels of whisky, and it is an open se-
cret that it is sent down to be placed on

The liquor is doctored and adulterated
so that by the time it reaches Alaska it
has doubled in quantity and is first
