Either Carlisle or Morrison.

In 4 recent interview Congressman
Tucker, of Virginia, said: 1.-The
democrats of Virginia are about
equally divided on the money ques-
tion and the sentiment in favor of
sound money is growing rapidly.
Before the year is out the sound
money men will be in practically un-
disputed control. The Virginia del
egation to the democratic national
convention will be for sound money
In my judgment it is as surely set
tied that the national convention
will declare for sound money and
nominate a sound money man as if
the convention had already met and
taken this action. We are going to
nominate one of two men for the
presidency. 1t will be either Car
Isle or Morrison. The silver men
will probably oppose Carlisle more
dctcrminedly than they would Nor
rison. Because ne came to the front
rs a champion Of sound money and
turned the balance when it was Just
on the trcmblc their resentment nat
urally turns against him. He will
be the strongest in the east. how
ever. and the fact that he is a south
ern man will be enough TO give him
the sentiment OF that section. / sup
pose the west will be more favorable
to Morrison, and some silver men
may favor him. but the sound money
men are going to control the conven-
tion and will be apt to nominate the
man they prefer. I believe the re-
puhlicans will either nominate Har-
rison or Allison"

The Polite Britis,, Waiter.

The extreme politeness of the average
English waiter is continual source of
merriment.
He thanks you when he brings your
soup, again when he brings your nap
kin, when he takes away your plate,
when he happens TO find You looking at
him-in fact, he says, THANK you," at
every turn, and says it in such jorky,
mechanical fashion that you cannot re-
press a smile. His example is followed
by the bus conductor, who thanks you
for your fare and thanks you again when
he hands you your ticket, and by the
theator usher when he seats you, and by
every servant you meet, in the most In
appropriate manner. They overdo the
thank You" business, and always en-
ploy the same jerky manner and me-
chanical tonc.-Chicago Record.

A Royal RebuIse.

1t appears that on the death Of Alc1an-
der III the Countess Stroganoff wished to
drape her palace in Grape, etc, but the ar-
tocrat of the city, Lieutenant General Won
Wahl, sent word that nobody was to drape
his or her house in Grape, or anything else,
until he issued orders Notwithstanding
this very clear order, the rcsoIute, jealous
and loyal countess ignored the wishes of
the all powerful Won Wahl, and, in fact,
calmly sent word to him that she intended
doing exactly as she pleased In the matter
of draping her palace. And she did SO.
Enragcd Mt being set at defiance in this
way, Won Wahl sent posse of constablcs
to the Stroganon palace to tear down the
cmb!cms of mourning. This was exactly
what the lady wanted. She at once let
the young czar know what was going on
and painted the outrage in the most glow
ing coiors, and the result was that young
Nicholas promptly ordered the great gov
ernor of st. Petersburg 70 remain at his
residence fer three days. Orc must know
st. Petersburg ,voil to understand how
much Won Wahl is detcstcd there, and
moreover, the childlikc nature of the Rus
slams, TO form any conception of the in
tense delight that this episode caused in
all classes, from prince to mouiik.-New

Gov. AItgeId's Return -.

Gov. and Mrs. Altgeld have re-
turned to Springfield from a sojourn
of three weeks in eastern summer
resorts. The governor was seen by
press representative and was found
to be in the best of health, brown as
berry and feeling as gay as 2-year-
old colt. He said he enjoyed himself
more than on any other like trip in
his life and felt 10 years younger,
and he looked it. When asked about
the proposed investigation by the
Sangamon county grand jury, he
smiled and said:
"You see, have just gotten back
from a vacation; been away from the
world, as it were, and have not tried
to keep posted as to affairs of state,
much less blodling investigation.
The accounts in this mornings

L. A. TRACTION COMPANY
Will Extend Their Present Terminus to
University Station
Work to Be Commenced Tom orrow and Pushed
to Immediate Compietion-Route to
Be Followed in Extension

Mr.. ". s. Hook Of the Los Angeles
Traction company, received a Herald re-
porter most courteously yesterday after
noon in his spacious and well.appointed
office in the power house on Georgia Bell
street, and IN reply to a question as to
any Improvements or extension Of lines,
he replied with a smile, I'VE are not
ready yet to say what we are going to do,
we expect to do good many things in
Los Angeles. for we have come to stay,
and all We can get we shall have. We
have many plans both in the way OF i'm
provement and extension but they have
not yet progressed far enough &c say any
thing definite. beyond the fact that we
shall commence work Monday in extend
ing our present terminus to the Univer-
sity station"
Here Mr.. Hook referred to a map on
the wall which showed the course of the
extension to be as follows: From Free
man street, the present terminus, along
Hoover to Forester avenue thence along
Forester avenue and along Vermont av
enue to the University station.
1T is impossible to say just when this
work will be completed" continued Mr..
Hook, sit will depend somewhat on the
arrival of the steel rails that have already
been ordered. but we intend to give facil-
tiles in transportation that VIII induce
Improvements in the other roads to COM
pete with u.s." And Mr.. Hooks express
sion was significant of not only an inten-
ton to carry his words into effect, but of
having the means within his grasp to do
so. There are already eight OF the large
cars in use on the road and six of the
smaller ones; there are SIX more cars
here to be put on as soon as the travel
NJ axes it necessary. and by the way it is
continually increasing the reserve
shortly. The accom- modations in the
power house are sufficient for a large
amount of rolling stock and turn-table
on wheels in the center facilitates the
handling of the cars

ON THE ALPINE DIVISION
Evergreen Foliage Below, a Deep Blue Sky

The Alpine division OF tho Mount Lowe
railway is now attracting a great deal of
attention. 1t is like sailing in mid air
to glide along that granite shelf carved
out of the cliffs and crags which form tn
ribs of Los Flores. Willard and Grand
canyons. On the one hand you can toss
a rock into the tops of century old pines,
whose mingled branches carpet the bot
tom of the gorge with evergreen foliage.
On the other hand you look upward to
Alpine peaks piercing sky of deepest
blue deriving its deep color from an
ozone LADEN atmosphere.
At the terminus of this wonderful road
which coils along the mountain side till
the passenger reaches an altitude OF 5000
feet above the sea, regiment of work
men are engaged in building rustic
structure OF striking architecture, which
will be concealed in the heart OF the
range. at the loot of Mount Lowe, whose
summit rises majestically above 1t 1000
feet higher.
No spot could BIZ more beautiful and
romantic than the shady glen chosen.
Groves of oak trees, now loaded with
acorns, are grouped IN clumps so dense
that the sunshine cannot filter through
the thick foliage. at freqeunt intervals
the columns OF giant pines ascend like
Spires thrusting their branches hori-
zvntally fifty or sixty feet from the stem,
or curving downward from the weight of
many winters snow.
1t is an ideal spot for club house, and
Professor Lowe has received the hearty
and enthusiastic congratulations of all
the members of the Alpine. club, who
have visited the beautiful spot. A carri-
age road will soon be constructed to a
point at the summit OF the range, half a
mile distant, which overlooks the Echo
Mountain house and all the San Gabriel
valley and ocean beyond. In the winter
merry sleigh bells will make the ecnoes
of the mountain businesses.

away. At the corner of Seventh and
Olive he saw the runaway team headed
for the wagon in which he was riding,
and being a very nervous child, jumped
out of the vehicle, falling face downward
directly in front of the runaway team.
The horses SHE'D to one side, but the
heavy wagon passed over the bows body
at the small of the back, breaking the
spinal column and causing internal in
juries which resulted fatally, as above
stated, some hours later. The boy was
conscious up to within a few minutes of
his death, and fully realized his con-
dition. His only wish was to be taken
home where he could see his playm ates
