Train Ferries In Europe

English engineers, finding II neces-
sary to adopt our system of train ferries,
and not wishing TO give US credit OF IN
augurating that system, have managed
to discover a Sir John somebody who
worked the whole thing up 10 years
ago. A New York paper says: There
seems to be nothing in the way of run
ming unbrolzen trains between London
and Paris, except the necessary capital
and the employment of sufficient tech
meal skill. If the London, Chatham and
Dover would combine with the North
ern of France and employ an expert
enced American engineer to plan and
construct the docks and appliances for
embarking and landing the trains, and
at the same time send to any Of the
shipbuilding establishments On our great
lakes for Il man to construct the ferry
boats, the arrangement could be perfect
ed in a year and half or two years,
when freight and passengers could be
transported from any part OF Great
Britain to the continent, and eventual
" to all of Asia and Africa, without
change of cars or break of bulk.
The system of train ferries Will no
doubt be established throughout Europe
in q few years and will do much to eE-
pedite and cheaper transit.

Among the proverbs that speak of the
banyan, there 10 one which says, LAS the

means that if the tree be in good soil
and well nourished it will be strong
and thriving; so will it's shoots Just
so the fathers health and character will
be reflected in his son. Tales of brin-

tree is said not to flower at all, yet peo-
pie believe that it really does so, only
it Is at night, and then but for min
ute or two although if procured it is
marvelously beneficial; hence it comes
to be applied to visit from friend
after long absence-a great rarity
Another form of it is, ITO meet with

ton of laziness than which it would be
difficult to find anything more explicit,
''To die from starvation beneath ripe

The teak tree Tectona grandis) is
the one tree of all others in India that is
useful and indispensable. 1t is not, there

pressed as follows: Among trees there
is only one-the teak. The rest are old
women. :" The same truth is expressed
in different way, Wood of the teak

the very best of their kind as is the i'm

Testimony of Finger Prints.

When a finger or q finger print IS
closely examined under a lens Of only
moderate power, it is seen to abound in
minute peculiarities. These are caused
by the branchings of some Of the ridges,
the sudden appearance of new ones, the
formation of rings, or Ovals, like eye
lets, and the abrupt stoppage of ridges
without any apparent cause.
1t is in these countless little peculiari-
ties even more than in the general char
acter of the pattern that the value
of finger prints as proof of identity
lies, for these appearances, however
minute, do not change in the smallest
particular dnring life. A pattern may
be traced on the fingers of the babe
when born; it will be found the same
on those fingers when he has grown to
manhood and may be imprinted from
the fingers of the dead without change
in the smallest point, though a hundred
years should intervene between birth
and death.
The pattern grows together with the
finger. Its proportions vary with fat
ness c. leanness. They may be further
affected by wear, govt or age. But
such changes appear in the pattern rs
a whole, never i'll the form of correla-
ton of its constituent parts. The pat
tern may become altered IN length OF
breadth by hard wear OF a peculiar kind,
but the number of ridges that concur IN
forming the pattern, their embranch-
ments. their archings, loops and other
minute characteristics, are not subject
to change. They are indestructible as
the finger.-All the Year Round.

RELIGION AND POLITICS.
lntermingied in the Conference at
Pacific Grove

PACIFIC GROVE, June % Whether the San
Francisco District Conference Is a conference
or a political company is hard to ascertain.
During the days programme there were sever al
heated discussions on the Republican pIaUfrOm,
IN which Rev. L. II. Woodward, A. NJ, paid his
respects TO the Republican platform very unfs-
vorably. The mornings sessions opened at
$3.50 O'Clock. Bishop Goodsell IN the chair.
After the devotional exercises the usual order
OF business was opened. Several questions
were discussed.
Local pastor c. X. Jenness DID,, OF Palo
Alto, was recommended for admission 10 the
annual conference aud was elected member.
Rev. Herbert Briggs. AM, then rendered his
paper on "Chrisps Call 10 Busy Men," about the
relation OF the business world or to-day TO Jesus
Christ and his message. Rev. DR.. Briggs pa
per met with much satisfaction.
"Reyivals" WAS then discussed by Rev. John
Coyle, DID. who read an interesting paper. He
greatly urged the need of REVEALS, and especi-
ally In great cities and stated that each minis
ter should be "A revivalist in himself.
Third on the programme was Rev. T. HI.
Woodward. and bis speech on Temperance"
was atentiveiy listened to. This was the
feature Of the meeting. and before Rev. MIR.
Woodward had taken his seat it was hard to tell
whether It was the corridor OF the Golden
Eagle Hotel or the parlors of the church. Rev.
Mr.. Woodward upheld Bishop Goodsen in his
statements in regard TO the convention at Sac
rameDt0. After Rev. Mr.. WOoGward'S we'll
prepared paper had been read an interes ing
discussion ensued. This discussion, or rather
debate, took up the rest OF the time for the
morning session, some Of the programme hav-
ing been postponed, and at noon the meeting
closed.
The meetings to-day have been very enthusi-
astic, aud before 2 O'clock this afternoon the
assembly hall was well filled. The meeting
was opened by prayer, the Bishop leading the
devotional exercises. At 2:15 2. NJ. Rev. w.
:. BovaTd. AM, interested the young people
OF the Epworth League by finely gotten up
paper, especially on the Epworth League. His
leading IODic9 were It's age. pTinpiDIp9 and
siblllies. Prayer aud natural blessing were
widely discussed BY Rev. Seneca Jones, AM.
This ended the programme for the afternoon
session. Tonight Bishop Goodsell made the
speech OF the week before crowded house.
The Bishop on several occasions aroused the
enthusiasm OF the congregation 10 such pitcn
that he was somewhat disturbed by the clamoi-
Gus applause. This evening closes the San
Francisco District conference.

AN AGED RASCAL.
lie Is Shot While Trying to Rob a
Mining Man.


Los ANGELES, June 22.-This afternoon
a man. 60 years old, who gave the name of
F. ii. Day, was found on the roadside near
Sycamore Grove, in East Los Angeles,
bleeding from the neck and left wrist.
He was picked up and taken TO the Re-
ceving Hospital where he stated that he
had been shot and robbed of $50 by an un-
known assailant. Detectives were dis
patched in search of the bold highway
man. but before their return a neatly
dressed man appeared at the police station
and announced that he had shot a man and
wished to surrender himself pending an
Investigation. The man said his name
was Samuel Holroyd, a miner from Lake
City, Colo. and that he had been here for
several days intending purchasing some
mining property, He identified the in
jured man, and said he was a chance &C
Quaintan ce who had offered to lead him to
some coal claims near the city. When in
lonesome locality Day struck him on the
head with piece of lead pipe. knowing
that he possessed considerable money,
whereap0n he shot him in self-defense, In
flicting a wound which will in all proba-
bility prove fatal Holroyd's story was
confirmed by the confusion which he ex-
hibted over his right ear and the indis-
putable proofs which he furnished as to
his identity. Day refused to talk after he
found out that the intended victim had told
the story to the police.

WHY SIZE Is CHARMING.
A Lady Tells a Very Graphic
Story.
WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH.
There Is "A Nice and Profitable Lesson
for Other Ladies in Eer Experience.

/ know lady, and a very charming
person. who has had a very trying expert
ence. Like so many ladies who have pecu-
liar pains which they often do not under
stand. occasional headaches, loss of
appetite. blues. bearing down sensations
and such troubles, she thought she was
only suffering from a cold, which perhaps
would pass away very soon, and 80 1t did,
but il returned IN snort time even worse
than before In this way she lived along
for nearly year, when she suddenly dis
covered that she was suffering from that
greatest Of modern scOurges, Brgnts dis
ease of the kidneys.
Now. the great trouble with her, as with
so many other men and women, was that
she did not know what allied her. Here is
what she says in her own words
Despite the attendance of skilled ply
slcians my illness increased, and they
stated that another attack of nv malady
would most assuredly prove fatal. 1t was
at this time, at the solicitation of friends,
that decided to try remedy OF which
had heard much and knew but little. /
confess l had little faith, because / thought
that L was doomed, but almost immedi-
ately l felt an improvement, which con-
unIed until L was finally restored 10 per-
feet health, and l feel that | owe my life
entirely TO the use OF Warmers Safe Cure,
which alone took me from the depths of
misery and restored me to health. Now,
whenever l feel as though any of the
symptoms l then had are returning, l take
some of the Safe Cure and Immediately
feel better; and l must say that l now
feel as we'll as in my giTlhOod, and IL is
entirely due to this remedy"
These are the words Of Mrs. j. T. BeaIe,
who resides at 1868 Lexington avenue, New
York. Hers Is not an isolated experience.
1t is precisely what hundreds of other
ladies have found true in their lives. 1t
shows that If women continue to suffer
and lei the trials of life weigh them down
when they should be joyful, they have
only themselves TO blame. There is a
means OF relief, of restoration. 1t is pure,
it is safe, it is woman's best friend By
its use she can be enabled to Withstand
the ills OF life and secure both health aud
happiness.

TRACING A LARGE LEGACY.
An Immense Estate Is Left in
Spain.
PROOFS OF THE CLAIM KNOWN
Mrs. L. Swan, the Daughter of Don
Francisco Paul Marine, the Rich
Spanish Diplomat.

SANTA CRUZ, June 22.-Ap intere sting
and important bit of correspondence is 60
ing on between members of the Swan
family of this place and authorities in
Spain which is likely to develop results
strange and startling. An immense for
tune seems TO be in store for the CORE
Spondents here, and perhaps few months
will determine the possession of estates
which have a valuation in the millions.
Several weeks ago MIS-. An;oinette
Swan, an old and widely known resident
of this city, learned through sources which
are not divulged that her father, Don
Francisco Paul Marine. an official of the
Spanish Government, died a number OF
years ago in Spain and left property OF
great value. The relatives heard nothing
OF his death nor of his estate until re-
Gently and an effort is now being made TO
obtain information upon the subject and
secure titles to the fortune.
Don Paul Marine was Spanish Consul at
the Hawaiian Islands some fifty years ago.
He was very prominently identified with
the State Department of the Spanish Gov
eminent and held positions of trust for
many years. His daughter was with him
at Honolulu and for many years was prom
inent at the court of Kalakaua. This
daughter married L. Swan and the family
has lived in Santa Cruz Tor the past TWEEN
ty-eight years. F. N. Swan, who is con-
nected with the Police Department here
is her son.
f. N. Swan was seen by a CALL re-
porter last evening and volunteered in
formation about his mothers discovery
and the efforts being made by the family
TO recover whatever may have been left of
their relatives estate.
I'VE have papers," he said, (which will
undoubtedly prove our claim to tile estate
Information of an important kind has
reached us. and we are confident that our
endeavors will be successful. During the
past several weeks we have written to the
Spanish authorities for the facts on the
subject, but have not yet received reply
Nothing very definite is known more
than that my grandfather died and left
property of great value. AS for other rela-
tives than those living here we know
nothing, but we are seeking for informa-
ton about any who may survive"
The story has become pretty generally
known about town and talked of with in
terest on the streets and in the hotel CORR
doris. The opinion seems to be that the
information in the possession of the Swans
is reliable and that the fortune awaits
only proof OF their title to it.

YOUNG O'BRIENS WEIRD STORY.
He Tells of the Encounter With
CeriS Indian Cannibals.

YUMA. Ariz., June 22-Young O'Brien
OF the newspaper sloop returned from
Tiburon Island to-day. He says Robinson
and Logan were surely killed by Ceris
cannibal Indians. He heard Logan cry,
"Oh. George" 800 yards away. Twenty
shots were fired. He and Clark stayed by
three days, but saw no more Indians.
General Luis Torres has sent fifty soldiers
by steamer and hundred cavalry over
land TO the island to thoroughly inVesti-
gate matters. Clark accompanied the
steamer from Guaymas. He thinks Rob
inson was killed by the first volley. Four
Indians tried to board the sloop, but
O'Brien drove them off with a shotgun.

NO BITTERNESS FOR BRIToNs.
Scots Will Not Celebrate the Battle
of BannCckburn.

CHICAGO. June 22.-The Scottish AS
sembly at a largely attended meeting last
night entered its protest against the cele-
bration of the battle of Bannockburn at
the Scotch Presbyterian Church Sunday
in resolution passed which declares that
such celebration tends 10 annoy and irri-
tate ''our English brethren, whom we hold
in the highest esteem"
The resolutions further characterize the
celebration as in bad taste and should not
be encouraged. even if it does recall q
battle won five centuries ago. In conclu-
sion the resolution invites the English
people of Chicago to participate in the pic
mic OF the assembly on August 4. and
assures them that the prominent English
men of Chicago will be made honorary
Scottish chieftains upon that occasion to
show tina: the assembly has no bitterness
for former fellOw-citIzens of the British
empire.
