National Guardsmen VIII Receive
Their Money Next Week.
In the early part of next week Adju-
tant-General Allen will commence to pay
off the enlisted men of the National
Guard who performed service during the
late railroad strike in this State.
The money due the men who reside in
in this city will most likely be deposited
in a local bank, where the men can draw
upon it.
An effort will be made to have the
money for the San Francisco troops sent
down there, but if it is ascertained that
the plan is not feasible one, the mon
Will be given warrants. upon which they
can draw checks against money deposited
in bank in this city. The same plan
will apply to soldiers in the interior.
This plan of paying the men would be
obviated ii the money were to be sent to
the various Paymasters, but as the law
does not provide for them executing
bonds they will be relieved of the duty OF
handling the money.
The commissioned officers will be paid
after the enlisted men receive their
money,

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera-house this after
noon at 2 o'clock, this evening and to-
morrow night the last presentation of
Mr.. Higgins fine new play, Jack Rose
of Tennessee will be had. 1t has proved
an entire success and has developed few
points for adverse criticism than any
drama Mr.. Higgins has yet produced.
Its sentiment is inspiring, clean and Wig
Orous; its scenes are all strong; even in
the low comedy phases they are lighted
up by touches of fine sentiment, pathos
and human interest Mr.. Webster's
heavy part is we'll sustained. An un-
lovely role, one inviting no sympathy,
still Mr.. Webster commands admiration
for his skill in handling the part. In
character acting there has been nothing
on the stage here neater than the persona
ton of the three spectators by Messrs.
McCurdy, Burress and Stewart. Burress
doubles also as plantation free hand so
well that but for the house bill few would
know that it is a double. Mr.. Muller, IN
the exciting scene of the run on the
bank, makes a trit1ing character very
conspicuous one by his admirable per-
sonation of well-known character in
modern business life. Mr.. Scott's as
sumption of the part of the planter
banker is quite the best thing he has
done; it has strong individual traits that
make it stand out in the foreground of
the entire piece. The thrilling scene of
the closed vault, with the bank Presi-
dent locked in it, and his rescue by his
daughter, who recalls the Inclination of
the lock, recalls an incident from which
Mr.. Higgins built it-that OF the Treas
urer of Sonoma County being locked in
the vault by robbers and the opening of
the doors by his wife, who happened to
know the combination.
The ladies of the Olive Branch Society
will give social party on March 9th.

THE ELDER DUCK.
Habits of the Bird Whose Feather!
Are Worth SIG Per Pound

Habits of the Bird Whose Feather S
Are Worth SIG Per Pound.
It is not fur alone that the sea gives
my lady, as she is indebted to this ele-
ment tor the elder duck, that lives mostly
on the water and frequents the small
islands on the various parts of tue coast
OF Iceland, where, safe from the attacks of
land animals, they breed. and, it may be
easily imagined, their rookie cries are
guarded by the natives with a most jeal-
Gus care. Whoever in Iceland kills an
elder duck is obliged to pay a fine of $50
and the secreting of an egg or the pocket
Ing OF punches OF the down is punished
with all the rigors of the law there. Dur
ing the breeding season all boats ap-
preaching these islands are watched by
the authorities, no one is allowed to land
without special permission, and guns are
not permitted in that vicinity. All noise
such as shooting or loud calling is strictly
prohibited.
The elder down is easily collected, as
the birds are quite tame. The female
having laid five or six greenish olive
eggs in the nest, thickly lined with her
beautiful down, the collectors, after care
fully removing the bird, rob the nest OF
its contents, after which they replace ner.
She then begins to lay afresh, although
only three or four eggs. and again has
recourse to the down on her body to line
the nest with When her own stock is
exhausted she calls upon her mate with
plaintive voice, who comes to her assist
ance, and willingly plucks the soft feath-
ers from his breast to supply the deficien-
cy. When the collectors become too ava
ricious they rob the nest the third time,
and the elder duck abandons the spot,
never to return, and seeks new home,
where she may indulge i'll her maternal
instincts undisturbed.
The brakes are perfectly white, and
they watch their brown wives with loud
cooling. They remain on the water
nearly all the time the females are on the
nest, and when the little ones are Matched
they are the most attentive to mother and
chicks.
1t requires about one and halt pounds
OF this down to make coverlet for a
single bed, and the best down is worth
from $40 to Sl2 pound. The fact that
most OF the eggs are taken and pickle
for winter consumption by the island
ers, only few being left to hatch, is
known. and retards the propagation of
these valuable birds.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN CARRIAGE
The Custom Adopted by the German
Emperor.


The Custom Adopted by the German
Emperor.
Electric lighting has now been applied
to private carriages, in which d storage
battery may be secreted under the seat,
and the whole equipment costs less than
500 for each carriage. That imperial in
novator, the German Emperor was one
OF the first to put electricity to this USE
He had the imperial carriages so fixed
that the old-fashioned candles in the
lamps are dispensed with and an incan-
descent burner used instead. Inside the
carriage there are several of these burn
ers, making it light enough on the darkest
night to read when driving to opera or
party, but the lights can be turned out
at will.
Not content with these departures, the
Emperor William has had electric lamps
put upon the harness of his horses, con-
sisting OF small colored lights which glow
like hretlies. The Prince of Wales, who
has adopted the custom of electric light
ing IN his carriages. has not gone quite
SO TAR as this, being content with the
lights III the carriage and in the lamps
on either side of the driver. Carriages
have been SO lighted in France for five
years, and the custom is steadily increas-
ing.
None of the leaders of New York So
clety have yet taken up the fashion, but
Ollie Teal contemplates a carriage in
which electricity is to displace horses
as the motive power, and If built it will
be electrically lighted.

vana I am not certain, or in position to speak of, for while it may be a matter of the greatest difficulty. owing to its be- ing so admirably well defended, still the plans of our general are known to no one but him. That the Cubans would be able to enter Havana there is no doubt, for the bulk of the Spanish army is now in the provinces of Santa Clara. Camaguey and Santiago, and 1t will take days to have 1t come back to Havana, and too late to defend the capital The turning of the insurgents and their securing the position which those dispatches report they have secured proves beyond a doubt that Gomez has shown himself much better general than the Spanish marshal, "The CubanS are better able to hgnt and able to travel more speedily than the Spaniards, for the reason that they are used to going through the underbrush, and, besides. they do not have to depend on paid spies to advise them of the move ments of the Spanish troops. On the other hand, the Cubans are advised of every move of the Spanish troops and are always ready to receive them. They fight and when hard pressed, at word from their leader. they disperse and in few hours meet at some preconcerted place. and once again swoop down on the Spanish ~
 General Maceo has with him 5000 cav airy, composed of the flower of the Gu bans; men who are used to riding horse- back for days at stretch and who con slider their 'machetes their best friends. These men are armed with Remington rifles, their machetes and Colts re- yolyer They are fearless riders, and whenever they make a charge. there is no doubt that many men give an ac- count of the work of their machetes.
 "Maceo is a man of action, man who stops at no difficulties and who knows the Cuban forests as you do the streets of this city. There are virgin forests in Cuba which no one except the natives, woodsmen, farmers and the like could go through; forests where the sun never shines, and where one would get lost but the Cubans go through them as though they were walking through the 'sabanas' (plains).
 By taking short cuts and going through woods, and the like, they man. age to defeat and surprise the Span- iards. This explains why the insurgents have been able to outwit the Spaniards, for while the troops were looking for the bandits Gas they are called), the in- surgents would all of a sudden open fire on their rear, causing the utmost conster- nation. This happened when MaceoI crossed the .trocha. where Luque.
