HALTED BY A MOUNTAIN LION.
2 Night Adventure oG Three Girls on a
 California; Road.

CaliforniS Road
 We were driving from Oakland over tho ridge that divides Alameda and Contra Costa counties, three girls bound for a country danoo at Moraga valley, a little settlement on tho Contra Costa side. It was late in January, and the night was pitch dark, but as the young rancher who drove knew every inch of the way we were not afraid
 We had made the ascent of the noun tain and were driving down at a good paco when suddenly the horses stopped, reared and then swerved to one side, overturning the rockaWay and landing us all in the mud on the side of the road. No ono was hurt, and as we pick ed ourselves up, wondering in dazed way what tho trouble was about, some- thing leaped out of the bushes, over the backs of the prostrate horses and lit in &the brush on tho lower side of the road. There was fearful roar, and then we saw two great, green eyes glaring out of tho darkness.
 The driver had succeeded in pulling the frightened horses to their feet and fighting the wagon. He ordered us to get into our seats, and handing the lines to the girl on the front seat he told her to hang on for dear life.
 "It is lion, and he'll jump in an- other minute, said tho man.
 Then, as we sat speechless from fright, the ranoher drew his revolver. There was Q scream unlike and more dreadful than anything had ever heard. Then the great beast rolled few feet in the brush and was still.
 After the horses were quieted and we s had regainod our composure sufficiently, we jumped out of the rockaway, and, with the aid of matches, examined our game. It was splendid young Califor- mia mountain lion, measuring about four feet in length. We three girls were all very brave when we found the beast was really dead, so wo helped tho driver lift tho carcass into the back of the wagon and then continued our trip. creating great sensation among the young rustics at the dance when we told of our adventure. To be sure, we gave the driver credit for the actual kill ing, but weren' we there when 1t hap pened, and didn' we keep quiet, in- stead of screaming as lots of girls would have done?-New York Sun.

A woman in Birmingham, England, was recently fined the British equiya- lent of $503, 900 for selling stale fish. Her stock consisted of half barrel of sprats, which are very small fish like whitebait, and by the law she had to be fined so much per fish.

Recently the Biblical Recorder, dis
cussing the responsibility of publish
ers for advertisements appearing in
the columns of the paper, took the
ground that newspaper, after exer-
cising reasonable care to exclude all
but reliable advertisers, could not
guarantee the responsibility of all adj
vertisers. This idea is in unison with
that generally recognized among news
paper men. The Patron and Cleaner
notes an exception to this rule in the
Farm Journal, published at Philadel-
phia, which guarantees to make good
the promises of all it's advertisers.

FREE RIDING IN CHINA.

Baltimore sun.
Consul-General Jernigan, at Shang-
1ai, has discovered what he calls pc
culiarly Chinese institution, which, it
must be admitted, is credit to the
inventive ingenuity of even the oldest
civilization in the world. This sin

wheels and driven by treadmill.
Passengers are taken free, which, Mr..
Jernigan naiyely remarks, is only fair,
considering the fact that they are
obliged to walk the entire distance to
their destination on the treadmill.
Obviously, the benefits to be derived
from this arrangement are not all on
the side of the passenger, even though
he goes fare free, and the existence of

Novel Addition to a Large once Building
In New York City.
From the New York Tribune.
The visitor may wander for hours
over the wide expanse of the great
Presbyterian building just finished at
Fifth avenue and Twentieth street and
then pass out without having seen the
most beautiful feature of the entire
structure. This is the chapel, which is
situated on the ground floor. and which
has its entrance from the corridor that
opens on Twentieth street. The chap
ell extends across the west end of the
building, and at the street end Is a
superb gallery. 1t has seats for 554
people, opera chairs, with folding bot
toms, being used. They are finished in
mahogany. Like the building itself,
the room is fine Interpretation of the
classic renaissance in architecture.
The sentiment of 1t is purely Greek,
the working out being based upon the
Ionic period. The ceiling is nearly
square, the monotony of this being
broken below by the heavily balustrad-
ed gallery, and from the gallery front
two Grecian columns. adorned with
pure Ionic pilasters. rise to the ceilings
height. The ceiling itself is divided
into square panels, heavily nodded in
ornamental plaster, and in the center
of each is a rosette carrying in its
heart an electric lamp. Columns are
indicated at the sides of the room,
separating the walls into immense pam
els, which are to be the subject of
decorative effects later on. Around the
entire room runs a base of highly fin
ished marble. Just now the entire
room is a study in white, with the ex-
ception of this massive marble addi-
ton.
At the end opposite the gallery and
in the center is the recessed platform,
with a domed ceiling and paneled like
the rest of the room, only more deli
cately. Then, on the left of this, look
ably fine organ. The instrument has
three manuals and forty-two stops and
stop combinations, not counting the
combination adjuncts between the key
boards. Some of its solo stops are ex-
ceptionally fine.
Experts have been wondering at the
manner in which the problem of en-
gineering was overcome. Here Is
large hall on the ground floor of a
twelve-story building, and above its
ceiling eleven stories are supported.
The necessary resistance was secured
by running three immense trusses
across the ceiling, and these extend
up through the next floor in the par
tition walls between rooms. These are
of iron, and are bridgework in their
character. The hail. 1t is understood,
Is to be used only for the meetings of

RUSH OF BUSINESS.

Missoula, Dec. 2.-County Treasurer
Cave and his deputies have had their
hands full to-day with the last rush of
taxpayers who were anxious to avoid
the penalty OF further delay. The resi-
dents OF South Third and South Fourth
streets have paid the special street
Improvement tax under protest on the
grounds which were stated in the STAN
dard recently. One of these taxpayers
said TO a Standard reporter to-day:
For years we have been paying our
share OF the city taxes and have made
no complaint We have helped pay for
the sewer system and for the grading
of Higgins avenue. Main street and
Front street and now, when our streets
are graded, We are expected to pay the
whole cost ourselves. II we can avoid
IL, we will not pay it."
The ground upon which the contest
will be made Is that the work Of grad
ing the streets in question was not
done in accordance with the improve
ment district law and the cost Of the
work cannot. therefore, be assessed To
the owners OF property along the
streets graded but must be made a part
Of the general expense of the city.
