OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 5-The senator
who succeeds a maa of such eminence as
the late philanthropist and founder of the
Stanford university must, whether he Will
or not, for time at least, have the eyes of
the world uron him. That august body of
old men, as ihe word senate signifies, need
have no apprehension from the world's
scrutiny. The new California senator is
entirely worthy to fill his high Office and
to do the work of il, as it was done before
him, honorlbly and well.
The new senator is Il Maine sailor lad.
But he is not the typical tall lumbernlan
of the pine woods of the rough and ready
sort. Quit9 on the contrary, he is a small,
frail man. with a very sensitive face and
manners as refined as il he had been all his

A Special Train 10 Garry sp=cia!er3 to The
Corbsh- MITCHELL light.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Jan. 5.-The touts
in this city say the Duvai Athletic club
cannot be beaten, and Judging from the
runlors that are floating around town it
now looks as though the officials would
80 to alsnost any length to defeat Gov
ernor Mitchell's opposition.
According to the stories. which seem to
come from good authority, arrangements
have been perfected whereby the fight can
be pnlied off in the face OF any opposition,
though at tine expense of many who are
anxious to see it. It Is a new plan en-
tire!y. and the work which is now being
pushed at the Arena, it is said, Is only
meant 70 bluff the governor.
The new arrangements include the
chartaring of a train, which it is under
stood will be placed at the.disposal OF the
club - hours previous to the fight. and
the same length Of time after the contest
has Lecn scheduled TO begin.
The spectators will be given the tip and
hurried OF, to the train, which will carry
them to the battle-ground, leaving the
governor. militia and the rest of the OPP
position, it is hoped, far behind.
IaisI. Prices viii Prevail.
The club people propose to make the
characterization rate pretty stiff one and
thus hope to financially save themselves.
They think that, with special trains at
their disposal and a spot selected for the
fight known only TO a faithful few, they
can bring the men together in the pres
ence of large crowd, and that the battle
will be fought and won before Governor
Mitchell can get the militia on the scene:
Manager Bowden has written to Gov.
ernor Mitchell in regard to the clubs po-
sition in the matter. As yet he has re-
ceived no answer. He thinks, however,
from indications SO far that there is really
nothing very serious in the governor at
titude.
Mitchells party has another grievance
He alleges that Corbett signed the new
articles through Brady, but as matter
of fact the champion signed them per-

For Tired Feet.

Walking heats the feet, standing causes
them to swell, and both are tiresome and
exhaustive when prolonged There are
various kinds of foot baths; authorities
differ as to their value Hot water en-
larges the feet by drawing the blood to
them; when used they should be rubbed OF
exercised before attempting to put on a
tight boot. Mustard and hot water in foot
bath will sidetrack fever if taken in
time, cure nervous headache and induce
sleep. Bunions and corns and callousness
are natures protection against bad shoe
leather. Two hot foot baths week and
little pedieuring will remove the cause of
much discomfort,
A warm bath with an ounce of sea salt
is almost as restful as nap. Paddle in
the water until it cools, dry with rough
towel, put on fresh stockings, have change
of shoes, and the woman who was ''ready
to drop will have very good understand
ing in ten minutes. The quickest relief
from fatigue is to plunge the foot in ice
cold water and keep it immersed until
there is sensation of warmth. Another
tonic for the sole is handful Of alcohol
This is a sure way of drying the feet after
being out in the storm. Spirit baths are
used by professional dancers, acrobats, and
pedestrians to keep the feet in condition.

Clever Hindoo Jugslers.

\ letter from New York to the Phila-
delphia (Pa.) Ledger Of February l6,
says For the amusement of his grand
children and their young friends, Viii
liam f. Dodge this afternoon threw open
his handsome residence, at No. 262 Madi-
son avenue, for performance by troupe
of very clever Hindoo jugglers who were
at the Worlds Fair, The troupe is under
the direction of H. Ballantine, American
Consul to Bombay, India.
The Hindoos, five in number, exhibited
in Mr.. Dodge's art gallery upon platform
which he provided, so that the wonders
they evoked were necessarily produced
minus the encouragement Of the usual ap-
paratus, The tearing of turban into 20
pieces and apparently restoring it, and the
popping of corn in cotton shirt without
fire, mystifed the audience, but the fea-
ture of the afternoon was the Hindoo
basket trick, which, it is said, has puzzled
the Prince of Wales.
A big six foot assistant of seyid Jamal
the chief magician, was tied hand and foot
In net bag and finally put face forward
in basket, so small that his body could
not by any means be pressed into it.
Sheets were placed over him and the bas-
ket Mr.. Dodge explained particularly
that the platform upon which the basket
stood was his own, and that there was no
way for the Hindoo to get out except
through solid flooring.
Seyid Jamal and the other Hindoos
thereupon began singing and imploring
their gods and jumping about the platform
in their bare feet, when suddenly the huge
form crouching over the basket vanished
into its narrow depths, The bonds which
had secured the Hindoo were thrown high
into the air, and the audience gave a gasp
of wonder. Seyid Jamal jumped into the
basket with both feet Tt was empty. He
poked into it with his stick to no avail
His aide had evidently gone to join his as
trail body. He was brought back all right,
but 1t took the united efforts of the other
Hindoos to pull him out of the basket, in
which he was tightly wedged.

The New vanderbilt House.

The new Vanderbilt house, on Fifty
eighth street, New York, has more luxurious
devices for masculine comfort than any
other home in the city. Prominent among
these is Moorish smoking room. This is
35 feet square, and bay window, with
alcovc. adds about 20 feet more The floor
is tiled, but many rugs redeem it from
coldness. The chairs, eouches and fittings
are of the most comfortable description.
The most important part of the room, how
ever, is the roof, which rises to dome 30
feet high, under which and about Is feet
above the floor is a great Moorish lamp
cunningly fitted with glass so that the
colors of red, yellow, blue and brown are
thrown upon the polished floor.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has also private Office,
done in walnut and gold, that has won
derful frieze in which the letter Y is artis-
tically wroughti billiard roomp perfectly
equipped bowling alley and private
suite of rooms, including parlor, bedroom
and bath, all of which are perfect in their

composing what is beliyed to be the finest
equipment for a mans comforts to be found

Newspaper Degradation.
From London Truth.

| have no squeamishness as to a spade
being called by its proper name on proper
occasion, and | should be the very last TO
attempt to set up any standard of taste or
propriety to which the columns of a news
paper should conform But it is just be-
cause / claim myself the fullest liberty in
regard to the publication of advertisements
that feel it duty to protest against the
abuse of this liberty; and it is because |
cherish neither Puritanical views of morals
nor prudish qualms about propriety, that
| feel it duty to protest against a shame
less violation both of morality and decency.
License has ever been the worst enemy Of
liberty The abuse of the advertising col
umns of newspapers has become public
evil, and unless it is checked by the vol
untary action of journalists themselves, the
law will, sooner or later, be called upon to
deal with it, and the liberty of the press
will be to that extent curtailed. What
could be more disgraceful? In the face
of such prospect what becomes of all the
cant about the greatness, the dignity, and
the public services of the press
We speak of newspapers as the instru-
ments of enlightenment and civilization;
yet here are papers which turn out by
hundreds of thousands at time, to be read
by men and women, boys, girls, and babies,
columns of filth which no deeent-minded
person eau look at without disgust. We
boast of the evils which the press has ex-
posed and destroyed, but here is the press
lending itself to the vilest purposes at the
price Of shilling or so line. We call
ourselves an honorable profession, yet here
are journalists-not looked upon as worse
than their neighbors-who are ready to fill
their pockets by cooperating with the most
pernicious aud degraded pests Of society.
No other profession is open to uch re-
proach Most of them have acquired the
means of protecting themselves against it.
If journalists have any regard for their
professional honor, it is time that they did
the same
