other names came in this way, and
from them compound names were de-
rived, as. Thatcher, which has given
rise to Thackers and Thackeray, and
Smiths furnishes either the first or
last syllable for numerous cognomens:
Another set of names can be traced
to some popularity of personal appear
ance or of character, and not a few to
some accidental deformity. Of these
we have Fairbairn, White, Black,
Brown, Whitehead, Redhead, Gray,
Baldwin, Hotspur, Coleman, Proudly,
Bloodgood, Goodman, Wiseman, with
the less enviable Crookshanks, Long,
| Small, Short, Little, Lightfoot, ETC.,
| etc. The church had also her share
in bestowing surnames upon our fore
| fathers, and contributed Rector, Par
| son, Clerk, Clock, Sexton, Bellman,
Bell, Crave, Coffin, Toombs, Priest,
Priestley, Church, Churchman, Crosse
and Crossman, with ever SO many
more. Rank and station furnished
not few high-scunding names either
to descendants of royalty or of those
in high Offices. Among this numbers
the derivatives of King or Roy are
very numerous. Then there are Prin-
ces, Earles, Dukes, Counts, Popes,
Barons, Judges, Judsons, Rodmans,
Knights, Squires, Chaplains, Sheriffs,
Lords and a variety of others many
possessors of such surnames doubtless
feeling themselves quite superior to
their neighbors whose names point to
descent from tillers Of the soil or
toilers at manual employment. But
if one is to pride ones self upon a
name that has come down to one from
an illustrious ancestor, it would be
better to belong to family Of goods,
bests, trues, wises or sages we should
think.
Besides all these patronymics whose
origin is so easily traced there is a
multitude of names for which we can
find neither rhyme nor reason. although
it is possible that some of them are
merely corruptions of foreign words
so long in use among us as to make it
difficult to trace them back to their
source. It is often a matter Of sur
prise how some people are content to
20 through life bearing such harsh and
disagreeable names as many have,
when it would be so easy to have them
legally changed, but we suppose the
| owners of them are hardly conscious
| of the disagreeable impression they
make upon strangers, and, after all, it

San Rafael, Cal, Dec. 15.-The Swiss
hotel, a cheap boarding house in the
east end of town. was wrecked by
giant powder this morning. The eXplo-
sion was the result of a deliberate at
tempt to assassinate Mrs. John Braro,
a widow who owns the hotel. Antonio
Victorias, an Italian laborer, who had
courted Mrs. Braro, proposed marriage
to her and had been refused, is under
arrest charged with the crime. Vic
torias went into the kitchen, where a
brisk fire was burning in the range,
and called to Mrs. Braro to come in TO
him. AS she stepped into the kitchen,
Victorias threw a big stick of giant
powder into the fire and ran out of
the room through a rear door. The
explosion occurred before Mrs. Braro
was well into the kitchen. Though she
was thrown violently TO the floor and
painfully cut and bruised, she escaped
serious injury. The stove was demol-
jshed, the kitchen and the whole rear
part of the two story building WAS
wrecked, and many windows in neigh
boring houses We're broken. VictoriaS
refuses to talk. Mrs. Braro's husband
committed suicide some time ago by
shooting.

How many people are there who
know how to buy spectacles or eye
glasses? Very few.
People think they do, but they don't.
and there is no one who knows this
better than the skilled oculist, who
is called upon to minister to eyes dis
eased from wearing imperfect glasses,
as from any other cause.
To have the eyes properly fitted
means to prolong the life of the most
important of the five senses.
What is life without your eyesfght?
All the money in the world would not
compensate for the loss of vision, yet
people will allow men to fit their eyes
to glasses who are not capable Of
judging what the patient really needs.
Many people are afflicted with bad
headaches and nervous diseases, caused
by defective eyesight, which may be
easily cured by the use Of proper
glasses, where medicine fails en-
tirely.
DR.. Shelmerdine, who makes a spec
ialty Of defective vision, uses original
methods of ascertaining errors. to
which may be attributed his great sue
cess.
The following are few of the most
prominent of many testimonials he has
received from his patients, and are
printed to show that his ability is rec
ognized by leading men:
What HON. T. J. CfEARY, the Califor-
mia congressman, author of the Chi
nese exclusion act, says of the doctors
ability:

near vision fitted by DR.. Shelmerdine

Police in the Dark Concerning the

San Francisco. Dec. 15.-There is
absolutely no clue to the perpetrators
,fOf the horrible death of Eugene Ware,
1.-THE drug clerk who was so foully muir
dered about l o'clock Friday morning,
as he was preparing to leave the store
for the night. The police seem to be
ABSOLUTELY in the dark, their main eff
forts being directed to track the young
mans past and his associates, both
male and female. The robbery theory
has been abandoned, and the motive
for the murder is now ascribed to
jealousy on the part of some rivals of
a woman's devotion or discarded
sweetheart. Ware was on familiar
terms with a, number of women, so
many of his female friends call
ing to see him at the drug
store that the proprietor was OBJ
liged to interdite these receptions.
The number of wounds on the
dead mans breast indicate fury on the
part of the murderer and many believe

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.

Chicago, Dec 15.-Buying orders were
in the majority in the wheat market at
the opening and could only be filled by
paying a slight advance over yester-
days closing prices. The comparative
firmness of the English and foreign mar
kets and the fact that the weeks ex-
ports from this side were almost entire
ly from western ports were the reasons
for the slight change in speculative
sentiment. May, which at the opening
brought from 5S5s to 5S&l had, in the
course of half an hour, declined to 5Sss.
The market changed again from weak to
strong and May rose gradually until it
during the last half hour. Closing cables
were firm. The market closed firm at
the best price of the day-587s for May.
