Chinese Undermine Folsom, Cal.

FoLsox, CAL, Jan. AS a horse and
cart we're passing along Leidsdorf street.
in Folsom. today, one wheel passed en-
tirely out OF sight, throwing the horse Oft
its feet. Investigation developed the fact
that Chinese have been running mining
drifts beneath the streets aud railroad,
honeycomb;ng thatentire portion of town.
and possibly extending under some of the
business streets. Ii has long been known
that large body of rich auriferous gravel
lay beneath the property owned by the
railroad company. bat they would not per-
nit il to be mined. Much excitement ex-
lists. as ii is impossible to say how extern
sive are the workings.

NosaIEs. Ariz.. Jan. 7.-It is stated that
the Aztec Indians intend to join the
Yaquis in the fight az ainst the Mexican
government Prisoners captured by
Tecopa have said they are Azsecs. but this
is not believed. As general thing the
Aztecs are far above the average in point
of culture OF the ordinary civilian of
Sonora. Most OF them speak and write
English well. The Spanish say they
school their children in houses independ-
ent of the Mexican government. The I'M
preston has long existed that the Azsecs
are in sympathy with the Yaquis. but,
strange to say, none have ever been found
in the soldierY.

Called Back.

A good story is told of Mir. Water Pater, one of tine most perfect masters of prose we have among us.
 He was wandering one day through one of the great museums and happened upon a great image, hcwn in black marble, of an Egyptian goddess, whose head was the head of a cat His heart was touched at the sight, that she before whom once 1,OOU priests had worShiptd and l,ND virgins danced before whom incense had been burnt and sacrifices offered, should find herself at last labeled like any exhibit ill a musty museum.
 And thereUpon he made up his mind that he would return with a gift offering, such q gift offering as the brown eyes of Egypt had once laid between her sable feet
 The next morning he entered the place with bunch of yellow datfOdils and silent ly placed them before her. His mind full of the ancient glories of Egypt and of Pasht, the goddess of old, he turned toward the door, Then he heard a voice call ing after him: Hi, mister! Hi, mister! You've forgotten your flowers! -Pearsons s Weekly

If the language of MT. Folsom Simp- son i'll addressing Martha may seem rather more affectionate than was neces- | sary, it must be remembered that it was made thus with q purpose. Martha, as the only servant i'll the household at the ! time of the burglary of the rajah's ruby, ! must be the repository of some interest ing secrets which the detective was hope ful of securing from her.
 Any young woman might be pardoned for shrinking from entering the spacious yard, with its gloomy shadows, after having learned that murlerous mis- creant was crouching among the dense shadows. The knowledge would have ! made the bravest man nervous, especially when unarmed, and it required all of the ! officers powers of persuasion to induce the woman to approach the building.
 ''Wait right here where you are for a few minutes" said Simpson when she stopped after U few paces, until slip 1 around among the trees. Twill be there in twinkling, and then there is not the slightest danger. Don't you believe what 1 say, Martha?''
 'Yes, but-yes, will do as you say"
 
 girl you arer' was the comment of the man, who, with few more words of counsel, vanished in the darkness, with the purpose of keeping his part of the agreement with the young woman, who seemed to have formed a sudden and strong faith in him.
 Well aware that the sepoy was some where in the grounds, and that he would be on the watch for the return of the servant, Simpson took extra precautions against discovery, making such a long circuit through the trees that he was sure no one could have discovered him, no matter how close a watch had been kept.
 It was not probable that the lurking -1siatic would molest the woman on her return to the house. Quickly as he might move, he could not prevent an outcry on her part, which would warn the couple within of their danger Besides it was not she, but they, against whom the prowler was seeking revenge.
 Simpson, now that he was in the dense shadow again, stealthily made his way toward the front of the house until in the same advantageous situation as before.
 "I promised to look out for her, and will keep my pledge, but she does not seem to be i'll hurry"
 Peering through the gloom toward that part of the lonely street which was dimly lit up by the lamp, he saw nothing of her. It was time that she made a move for ward, and he feared her courage had given out now that the crisis was before her.

lows Men of national reputation as wits and orators say a dinner such as this takes all the nervous force out of them and leaves them wilted and hollow the next morning. The matter is becoming so seri- ous that men of importance, while liking the fun of the dinners-for the fun does rage fast and furious-a are becoming less and less inclined to offer themselves as sac rifices on the altar of burlesquery.
 It has been found necessary to restrict the nrdor and curb the fierceness of the coasters, and it is now a rule in these newspaper clubs that a speaker shall not be roasted until the president gives the signal. Two taps of the gavel while man is on his feet trying g to make a speech are the signal to let loose the tigers. Luck less the man who talks so long or so dull that the president thinks it proper to tap the mallet twice together on him. It does not matter how eloquent he may be as an orator, how courageous he .hRy have been on the field of battle, how mighty in debate in house or senate. He stands about as much chance among these tigers of the newspaper banqueting board as an icicle would have in hades.

panion, and that so far as known tho two were inseparable.
 The sudden awakening of the officer to the fearful truth fairly took his breath for the moment.
 "How is it have escaped? It is unac- countable"-
 A sound like the falling of leaf caused him to rise from his crouching posture, for he knew that that dreaded second personality was at his elbow. At the same moment he reached back to draw his revolver.
 He was a second too late. The sepoy shot out of the gloom as if driven from a catapult, and alighting on his shoul- ders bore him resistlessly to the ground. Before he could make use of his weapon the fierce Asiatic had called into play his daggerlike knife, and the power to help himself no longer remained with tho of ticer.
