time before, when the Duke of Burgun-
DIV besieged the town OF Beauvais, the
women had taken up arms and fought
beside the men on the ramparts, and
how they had succeeded In driving back
the besiegers.
"These brave women were far fewer
than we are" continued Telesila,
" while the enemy was the same in num-
Der and strength. Why should we be
afraid, when we have before us such an
example OF devoted patriotism ?"
This speech made the greatest impress

Fresh courage was instilled into men

Meanwhile. Charles had recourse TO
every stratagem that ingenuity could
devise to endeavor to render himself
master OF the town, During the night
watches he kept the besieged In a state
of alarm by continual feints OF attack,
and then, as morning advanced. when
they were quite wearied and worn out,
he would rush with tenfold violence TO
the assault.
He caused large stones TO be hurled
by the machines at the walls wherever
they were weakest, in the hope OF max

Recent reports about Jackson's health,

more about the game since he fought
Corbett, while the latter is greatly i'm

speedy as the champion.
Doubts as to Corbett's ability to hit
hard have been largely dispelled, too
and 1t was also demonstrated yesterday
that he would not quit at a punch. as

WILD COSSACK RIDERS.

Two Americans Saw Them Break Winter
Csnp In Turkestan.
Messrs Allen and Sachtleben, who
the following account Of enc Of their
experiences in Turkestan:
One of the chief incidents of our
pleasant sojourn was afforded by Gov.
ernor IvanoH. We were invited to head
the procession of the Cossacl1s on their
annual departure for their summer en-
campment in tho mountains After the
usual religious ceremony they fled out
from the city parade ground. Being un-
avoidably detained for q few moments,
we did not come up until some time
after the column had started. AS we
dashed by to the front with the Ameri-
can and Russian flags futtering side by
side from the handle bars, cheer after
cheer arose from the ranks, and even
the governor and his party doffed their
caps in acknowledgment.
At the camp we were favored with a
special exhibition Of horsemanship. By
single twist of the reins the steeds
would fall to the ground, and their rid
ers crouch down behind them as bull
wark in battle. Then, dashing forward
at full speed, they would spring to tine
ground and leap back again into the
saddle, or hanging by their legs would
reach over aud pick up handkerchief,
cap or soldier supposed to be wound
ed. All these movements we photo
graphed with our camera.
OF the endurance Of these Cossacks
and their Kirghiz horses we had prac-
teal test. Overtaking Cossack courier
in the early part of days journey, he
became so interested in the velocipede,
as the Russians call the bicycle, that he
determined to see as much of it as pos
sible. He staid with us the whole
day, over distance of 55 miles. His
chief compensation was in witnessing
the surprise Of the natives, to whom he
would shout across the fields to come
and see the tomasha, adding in explana-
tion that we were the American gentle
men who had ridden all the way from
America Our speed was not slow, and
frequently the poor fellow would have
ly, gentlemen. My horse is tired. The
town is not far away. 1t is not necessa-
ry to hurry SO. -
The fact is that in al our experience
we found no horse of even the famed
Kirghiz or Turcoman breed that could
travel with the same rase and rapidity
as ourselves even over tho most ordina-
ry road. d.-Centugy.

THE DECISION AFFIRMED.

tauraur and Saloon.
An opinion affirming the decision of
the Los Angeles county superior court
in the case Of the San Francisco Bew-
cries, respondent. Va. JOS. Schurtz ct al,
defendants, and Fl. r. Wileon, appellant.
The defendants had q lsase for four
years, dated October 8, 1859, on the
Palace restaurant and saloon in this
city. June 70, 1891, he executed his
promisscry notes to the plaintiff, aggre-
eating $4500 and mortgage on the
leHsehold estate and peraonai property,
In August, 1892. the plaintiff began
foreclosure suit. All the defendants
except Wilson suffered defaults to be en-
tered, and he answered, alleging that
Mrs. Catherine Wilson had previously
secured judgment against Schurtz, un.
der which the property Was bid In by
them.
The court found that the mortgage TO
plaintiff was q valid lien on al the
property except that purchased by H. p.
Wilson at sherif's Gale. and decree
was entered foreclosing the mortgage
and directing q sale OF all the property
found to be subject to the lien. From
this decree the defendant, Henry P.
Wileon. appealed on the ground that the
demurrer to the complaint should have
been sustained; that all the property
purchased by appellant was the per-
sonal property OF the judgment debtor
Schurtx, and minor technical points.
The supreme court held that the decree
should be affirmed.

ON CHARTER REVISION.
COUNCIL AND THE MERCHANTS
COME TOGETHER.
Final A ction on the Question OF Appoint
I've and Elective City Oalclals.
The Powers of the
Mayor.

The council, as q committee OF the
whole, in conjunction with a committee
from the Merchants' association, made
some decisive moves in the charter re-
vision matter yepterday.
The first matter taken up was mo-
tion that the new charter contain a pro-
viclon that the council should grant no
more charters or franchises within 80
days before a general election or 80 days
after. The question of granting ordi-
nances, without having the service which
shall be required put in the ordins nee,
was also added to this. The motion
carried.
The following things were then dis.
cussed: Making the mayors clerk a
chartered officer, striking the street su-
perintendent off the list of chartered Of
ficers, and making the city engineer
eIso street superintendent.
The merchants thought the clerk
should be appointed. and the council
that be should be elected, The mer-
chants also wanted the auditor and ats
torney appointed, while the council
wanted them elected.
1t was moved and carried that the
auditor be appointed and tho attorney
elected.
The merchants wanled the mayor to
appoint city clerk, fire commissioners,
police commissioners, engineer, and in
fact all the commissioners appointed by
the mayor.
The point made by those present from
the Merchants association was that the
present charter lie very unsatisfactory
and that the voters will only approve of
one which makes radical changes.
After long discussion of all the Offices
and officers the two elements finally got
together and it was decided by motion
to make all the officers not elective ap.
pointed by the mayor and the appoint
ments approved by the council.

King Milan of Servia once went to

was giving bazaar for the benefit Of
the poor children of Paris. AS soon as
the king appeared upon the scene she
advanced toward him with splendid
silver salver in her hand on which was
beautifully emblazoned the family arms.
On it lay pretty little bunch Of vio-
let's. ''How much, madame?'' asked the
king. 'Twenty- lois, sire,' was
her soft response. Milan paid her the
sum she had asked, with courteous
bow, took the salver from her hands,
placed the bouquet in his buttonhole
and walked off, with the tray under hia

EDITORS HERALD:-In the seventh
line of the article entitled A Scheme to
Reduce City Taxes, which appeared in

'bore" should have been printed in
stead of the word "lease." The latter
word wss not in the copy. The article,
as printed, makes the writer suggest
that the city should leaas oil wells,
whereas he suggested that it should bore
them. A study of the similarity in the
appearance OF the words "bore" and

Prof. T. s. G. Lowe, builder of Pssa-

tsrday from Chicago, where he hsa been
for some weeks.
Prof. Lowe's visit to Chicago signifies
a great deal, for while in the Windy city
he closed the deal whereby it is made
certain that the mountain railroad will
be extended from Echo mountain, its
present terminus, to the highest num-
nit OF Mt. Lowe.
Ii was with the object in view OF dis
poEing of the bonds OF the road sufic.
lent to finish the work that the trip was
made, and it was entirely sucoessful.
So successful was it, in fact, that the
gentleman telegraphed from Chicago
eeverel days ago to have an extra force
OF men put at work on the grade above
the Echo Mountain house, portion OF
which grade ia already completed.
Ths extension will be an electric road
using the trolley eystem. 1t will be
seven miles in length. The track will
wind around ths sides of the great peak
which bears Prof. Lowe's name. giving
clear and nnobstructsd view of eome of
the grandest scenery upon the American
continent:
A force of 80 men is alresdy at work
on the new hotel, and this will be in
creased at once.
The work OF hauling the material for
the extension up the great cable incline
will also be started right away, and
though it will take some months for
even showing on this great work, the
public can rsst assured. apparently, that
the gigantic energy ci Prof. Lowe will
carry the work forward 40 fast as possi-
