Strangers Debarred From
Street Work.
The Merchants Association Will
Keep a Register of Men De-
serving Employment.

An experiment in sweeping billy streets
by hand was made yesterday on Sacra-
mento street by the Merchants Associa-
ton.
Three men were put to work on grades
where sweeping-machines cannot be en-
ployed on account of the steep declines,
and results were watched with interest by
President D0hrmanD of the association and
some other active members. An accurate
account OF the work done, area cleaned,
time expense. etc., was kept and calcua-
tions based on it will be made to-day. By
this means IL is expected that close eSti-
mate of sweeping the hills can be obtained
Tor report at the next meeting of mer-
chants interested in keeping tile city clean.
In every other department of the under
taking Mr.. Dohrmann says that strictest
business methods have prevailed, aud con-
Sequently a satisfactory know ledge of the
appropriated by the city for slreet-sweep-
ing Is found to be at least $4,000 short of
what is needed 10 keep streets clean by
m achines and hand work.
The question is, Can we raise money
To make uD this deficieney@ he said.
Even at that figure-S125, 000-we must
be economical In every way.
We are going TO organize systematic
collection to raise this S45, 600. and have
some hopes of getting enough to make
the total $3.50. 900, in which case half the
work could be done by hand. From the
ferry depot 10 Tenth street the cost OF
cleaning Market street Is $50 to 500 DAY,
or about $50, 900 year. So IL may be seen
how inadequate is the city's appropria-
ton. We will have TO be guided entirely
by the amount of money collected, but
citizens are willing to pay only for an ex-
pertinent.
Prospects for the winter, believe, are
for better season than last winter. Set
element of tariff legislation is tending TO
restore confidence, and. as stocks of mer-
chandise were let run down purp0sely. the
least effort to Teplenish them now would
cause an active STIR in business. | think
the bottom has been reached, and that the
winter will be a pretty fair one. But so
long as CALIFORNIA; products are sold for
the present low prices little improvement
may be looked for.

CLEARED THE AISLES.
Police and Firemen on Duty at the
OrDheum

Acting Chief Dougherty of the Fire De-

Orpheum Theater last night and found
there just what he expected to find. The
aisles were thronged with men and boys,
who blocked the passages from the tage
to the doors.
Dougherty took in the situation at a
glance and sent for the police. a pa1rol
wagon filed with officers came in response
to the call, and the work of clearing the
aisles was commenced. 1t was an exceed

them up at will, as it is not we'll for
the COWS to take seventy-fve pounds
of water into their systems immedl-
ately after eating, as they would do.
The cows Immediately after eating lie
down and chew their cuds for an hour
or more. Then they are watered and
the troughs left open for the day, so
| that any COW can drink as she may like
| after the "frst drink" The stables
are cleaned in the morning, and the
trenches sprinkled with road dust and
then partially filled with the fresh,
long manure from the horse stalls.
This combination makes a good alb
sorbent and deodorizer. At night af-
ter milking, the feeding is repeated,
and when the COWS are looked after
towards bedtime, the water troughs
are again opened for the night, some
dry sawdust is thrown along the heel
planks, and the stables are shut up for
the night.
In building the stable, while very
economical in cost, the idea was to
give each COW plenty Of space, and so
each COW has GAO cubic feet of stable.
Another thing was the avoidance of
| what might be termed lighthouse"
conditions, and SO sunshine was
sought. 1t comes in on three sides of
the stable during the day. The tenn
perature of the stable is maintained as
nearly as possible at forty-fve degrees.
The water is not warmed, but is kept
in close iron tank IN the stable and
pumped every day from q deep rock
well, and SO does not vary much as 1t
runs into the troughs from fifty de-
grees. OF course the COWS have good
beds of straw and are carded now and
then, but they are given enough free
dom SO that they can perform their
own toilets fairly well. I am not a
believer in the high feeding of con-
centrated grains. The individuality
of the COW is a thing that is born with
her to do a certain performance, and
feeding to create production beyond
born individual capacity has never
been accomplished except in limited
way, and then has cost more than the
returns from it were worth. The
great horse Directum eats no more
oats than "plug," and no amount of
oats will get speed out of the latter.
It is the same way with COWS.

Age OF Niagara Falls.

Professor J. ". Spencer says that
the first conjecture as to the age OF
Niagara Falls was made by Andrew
Ellicott in 1890. Ellicott believed
the falls to be 81, 900 years old. About
1871 Lyell estimated the age OF the
falls as 35, 900 years. All of these esti-
mates were pure coniectures, but they
were correct in assuming that the
gorge had been excavated by the
river. Professor Spencer, IN out
lining the progress of the falls, says
that little stream draining the Erie
Basin once fell about 200 feet from
the brow of the Niagara escarpment.
This stream was not over one-tourth
the volume of the present cataract,
and consequently excavated the gorge
at a much slower rate than at present.
During the early history of the river
the waters of the three upper lakes
emptied through the Huron Basin by
way of the Ottawa River. The height OF
the falls has increased several times.
The first episode, represented by
a small river falling 200 feet, lasted
1000 years Then the height OF the
falls was increased TO 4oO IcStB uAN
took the drainage Of oil the upper
great lakes. At the same time there
was series of cascades, three in all,
the lower gaining on the upper until
finally they were all united in one
great cataract, much higher than that
of to-day. Subsequently the waters
were raised at the head of Lake On
tario, and the falls Appropriated to
the present conditions after lapse of
1000 years, and another 1000 years
was probably occupied by TRANSITIONAL
changes of very gradual character,
1t is now 5000 years since Lake Huron
emptied into Lake Erie for the first
time. The land has risen about the
outlet of Lake Erie, and if the present
rate of change continues, in 5000 or
5000 years the waters of the four lakes
will be turned into the Mississippi
River drainage at Chicago.-New Or

A Test of Road Wagons.

George W. Bowman, of Chicago,
has invented a gasoline motor for q
wagon to be used over ordinary roads,
and he predicts great things for its
future. He is having two wagons
built on his plans at Denver, Col. If.
and expects to start with them for
Chicago. The distance to be travelled
is 1869 miles, and he expects to cover it
in less than sevcnty-two hours, MAX
ing an average speed of over sixteen
miles an hour. The people along the
route arc very much interested, and
want the travelling to be done by day
light, that they may have a chance to
see the strange machines. New Or

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevera
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

A Lucky RhYmcr.

Mirabeau L. Towns, a Brooklyn law
yer who once lived in Atlanta, re.
ceived legacy of $4,000 the other
day from an eccentric 1rishman who
had taken a fancy to the lawyer 5
rhymes.
About ten years ago the Irishman
called on Mr.. Towns and requested
him to take the case of an old woman
who wanted damages for being bitten
by dog and drenched with water
from a hose. But the condition was
that Mr.. Towns should utilize his
poetic gifts by making an argument in
rhyme. The proposition was accepted
and the jury gave the woman verdict
for $75. The Irishman gave him an
other case which he also won, after
making his argument in rhyme.
To cut a long story short, it is
enough to say that this strange adj
mirer of Mr. Towns's poetry is dead,
and has made the rhymer one of his
four heirs, each of whom will get
$4,000.
We do not believe that there is q
similar case on record. Certainly, no
American ever before received such a
rich reward for a few iingling verses.
Let our poets be of good cheer. Per
haps their golden age is here. 1t opens
