THE ASSUMPTION.
One of the Most Notable Catholic Feasts
Celebrated With Solemn Cere-
monies.

Celebrated with solemn Cere-
monies.
The Feast of the Assumption of the Vir-
gin Mary was commemorated with solemn
services in the Catholic churches yester-
day. Masses were celebrated in all the
City churches as on Sundays. At the
cathedral and ST. Ignatius the ceremonies
were very imposing.
Very Rev. J. j. Prendergast was colebrant
of the high mass. In the evening solemn
vespers were sung by male choir, for the
first time in the history of the cathedral.
Twenty-Five boys and twenty men, under
the direction of Father Hannigan, were
divided into quartets and each group sang
a part in the concerted numbers. The
sanctuary was beautifully decorated, while
the Virgins altar was most profuseIy
ornamented with rare blossoms and clus-
tiers of colored lights and candeIabra.
The Assumption is celebrated as one of
the greatest days in the Catholic church,
though the event commemorated is not
dogma of faith, being merely pious tradi-
ton, which has been celebrated from the
earliest years in church history, when it
was pre- ched by the apostles.

Further, Attorney Cross declared in 1891
Mr.. Haskins told an old friend and bust
ness associate, Charles Heintzen, that he
had made no will, but intended when he
died half OF his 10000 estate should go to
his widow and half to his brother.

might have. She produced the ten adfdl-

vatlve tendencies in the matter of platform
will be more pronounced than they have been

If people are generally prosperous and salts
fed they will view radical alterations of an
existing system, when suggested with distrust
and fear. Great changes in governmental
policy have seldom occurred in times of general
abundance and contentment. 1t is when

believe that the solution OF the currency
question will be reached without doing v1o-
1ence to commercial relations or upsetting
financial systems. AS knowledge OF the func-
tions of the metals as money becomes general
there will be less of sentiment and more OF
treated as matter of business, not of rhetoric,
each side will concede and adopt the ad-
vantages of the other and when that comes to
pass not very radical congressional enactment
will be required to settle the question.
Has not the sentiment of the California
Democracy been enunCiated in its past plat
forms on this question sufficiently to indicate
the sentiment of the party on the question?
The sentiment of the party as it existed at the
meeting of the last State convention was, l
think, well expressed in its platform.

views in answer to the following questions:

Straw Hats OF Wood.

A Massachusetts, inventor has pat
ented machine which is supplied
with fine planning teeth. A log Of
wood cut square is fed to it, and
when the log passes through it has
furnished a hundred strips Of wood
much resembling excelsior. Their
length, Of course, is that OF the log.
1t is claimed that these when mois-
tened can be woven much moro readi-
ly than straw and make as durable a
hat.
The inventor says it is twice as
light as straw, and that, because OF it's
manipulation and cheaper cost, it will
supersede the straw now used for the
construction OF headgear. Even
women's leghorn hats and the finest
Panamas may become possible for
those who can't afford them now.

The Milk Cure liz the Latest.

A doctor in South Africa claims to
have discovered a new method of
curing disease, winch he terms "lac.
teopathy."
1t struck him, he says, that. as
milk absorbs poisonous germs from Il
bucket, it might also be used to abb
sorb poisonous germs and gases from
the body.
He put his idea to the test, and now
claims to have cured people of small
poX, fevers, diphtheria, spinal diseases
and many other maladies, by simply
wrapping the patients III milk sheets.
He lays his patients in mattress
covered with blankets, takes sheet
just large enough to envelope the
body, warns it, saturates it with
about a pint and half of warm milk,
opens it without wringins it and
wraps his patient in it for about an
hour, subsequently spohging him over
with warm water or putting him into
a warm bath.
He declares in one bad case of small
poS, where the eruption was well out,
the milk sheet drew the poison 30 en-
tirely from the skin that the next day
Fne eruption disappeared and the man

When Niagara Ran Dry.

Congressman Lockwood. Of Buff
falo. says that within his recollection
the great waterfall at Niagara was
suspended, and that many people
walked over its rocky places dryshod.
The New York Evangelist in an inter
estlng occount OF this miracle, says it
was wrought i'll l649, during the
month OF March. To be exact, it was
on the morning of March %, 1848,
and for several hours the wonderful
torrent did cease to flow and the river
ran dry The preceding winter had
been severe one, and the ice which
had formed in Lake Erie was OF phe,
nomenal thickness. There came on
March 9th sudden and xceedinp
ly warm spell of weather, which
melted the SHOWS, and then a warm
rain poured down in torrents during
the entire day of the 18th of March.
The ice was loosened, and a strong
east wind drove it far out in the lake
during the night. But at sunrise on
the 29th the wind came from the west
and, as the sailors say, it was ablow-
ing great guns" This terrific gale
drove the immense mass of ice into
the mouth of the Niagara river, where
it was gorged and piled up from shore
to shore, Theoretically sealing the RI
yer and damming the waters back
into the lake. Thus it happened that
Niagara river ran dry, it's falls became
bleak, barren rocks, and its mighty
thunders were put to sleep, Within
four or five hours tiny streams of
water began to triclzle through the
gorge. The tremendous power back
OF those streams accelerated their
flowing, and in short time the ice
dam gave way, and there never was
such a wild, roaring, mad food in
Niagara before or since. and thus the
cataract became itself again.

For ucalth'R Sake.

The people who live the longest are
those who sleep with their mouths
shut.
Two apples, eaten uncooked at each
meal, have been found to cure dys-
pepsia.
Cinnamon tea is recommended as a
beverage for people who dwell in ma
larlal districts. 1t is also useful as a
preventive of typhoid fever.
The presence in the sick room of
flowers with delicate fragrance is
generally beneficial. Certain colors
are said to act favorably upon the
nervous system. Red blossoms are
stimulating, while delicate blue flow
ers are soothing.
