Senator Tillman,s Seat.

This story is told on Senator Tillman
When he had his seat assigned to him on
the floor he found his nearest neighbor to
be Senator Irby of South Carolina. The
two are at outs, and have not spoken in
passing for long time. 1t made Tillman
feel very uncomfortable to sit so near to
his enemy, and he asked to be changed on
the ground of his visual affliction, for every
one knows that Senator Tillman is blind
of one eye. His plea was that be
could not see as well, sitting where he did,
as he could from some other seat. The
next day he found himself assigned to a
desk on the other side of lrby, there sim
ply having been reversal of positions.
'I asked to be changed" said Tillman
to the acting official of the Senate, s.be-
cause could not see from that desk, and
you have only changed me to the other
side of Senator Irby."
'Yes. sir" said the floor official, 81 did
not suppose you could see him on the side
on which you are blind, and so changed
you accordingly"
Tillman gave snort of contempt, and
picked out a desk which is not approx
mately as desirable as the first one was

ESCAPED FRDM SLAVERY,
One of Little Pete'S Recent I'm.
ports Finds a Safe
Refuge.
The Woman Found a Chance to Get
Out Of Den and Went to the
Presbyterian Mission.

One of the women said by Rev. F. ].
Masters of the Methodist Chinese Mission
to have been imported into this country
for immoral purposes under the gtise of
actresses for the Atlanta Exposition by
Lang Nam and Fong Ching Nittle Pete)
has found her way to the Presbyterian
mission on Sacramento street at last.
She went there under rather unusual
circumstances. According to DIR. Masters
these women were brought into this
country by way Of Ogdensburg NY, where
they are not subjected to the same rigid
investigation as is the custom at the port
of San Francisco, and that after a short
season OF starring at Atlanta they were
brought to this City and placed by their
owners in dens in Sullivan, Bakers and
Bartlett alleys. This particular woman
found an opportunity to escape, and took
advantage of it.
Evidently she communicated with some
white person who was largely instrumental
in putting her on the road to safety, as she
had a card in her hand directing her to
very active work in rescuing unfortunate
slaves of this character. She showed her
card to the first policeman she met and he
took her to the mission.
Her story is meager in details so far. 1t
amounts simply to a statement that she
was brought here and placed in den
against her Will and took the first chance
of escape.
Whensasked to give full statement last
night through an interpreter. she begged
to be excused on the ground that it might
put her own personal safety and that of
the other women besides in jeopardy. She
is very bright young woman-or rather
girl, for she appears to be still in her
teens-and when the proper time comes
she may have something of interest to
communicate to Collector Wise.
The Collector proposes to institute an
investigation to ascertain just what con-
nection Little Pete and Long Nam did
have with the advent recently in this City
of thirty-four unfortunate Chinese women.

Deer-Hunting by Locomotive.

Once in while the engineer of train
on DR.. Seward Webb's Adirondack Rail-
road has a race with deer. Sometimes
it happens that the frightened deer won't
leave the track, and is killed.
One night In September, when Pat Cum.
mings was pulling the through train down
to Utica, he walked back to Conductor
Clarke while his fireman was taking water
at Nehosene, and said
"Bill, killed deer back there bv the
river. 1t was fine big buck. He run
ahead OF me for long piece, and / could
see him plain. When nit him he went
over the pilot higher'n he ever jumped
before in his life, l net. He landed lust
out there in the ditch, and had notion
to stop and get him, but was afraid you'd
kick"
II wish you had stopped" said Clarke.
"The next time you catch deer that way
you stop. 1t won't take long to get him,
and we can easily make up the time. Deer
meat IS too scarce and high to let it go like
that"
Cummings said he surely would stop the
next time, and Clarke got the agent to tel
egraph to the agent at Horseshoe to send
their section men down to the river with
their handcar to get the deer. 1t was after
IL O'Clock, but the section men started out
and after smart pull got down to the
river. They looked a long time, but could
find no deer. Up and down the track they
went, and at last were just about to give up
in disgust when one of the men found ii.
IL lay out on the bank of the ditch beside
the track. 1t was fine, large yellow dog.
Now If you ask Pat Cummings if he has
Killed deer lately you want to be ready to
dodge. and dodge mighty quick, for Pat is

But there are other landmarks than old
trees. True, there are old b ouses, and, we
add, perhaps, old men. The village with
out its patriarch is incomplete; and what
a difference between colonial houses and
those that have recently sprung into ex-
istence! We breathe in the odor of un-
painted cedar and mossy shingles-not
strive to rid our lungs of the smell of
paint. We seldom stop to look at house
built IN our own lifetime; but how generally
we scrutinize the old house near by, though
we may have seen it daily for many years
Its quaint porch, the small-paned windows,
the low caves and substantial chimney
appeal to US, and we wonder if life is not
more restful and soul-satisfying under
such roof. The old man in his high
backed rocker doing by the fireplace, the
old woman knitting in her throne-like
easy chair, the willow-pattern china in
the open cupboard-what picture! But
these ven cradle people cannot long re-
main. and then what? The children scat
ter the furniture, the old house is torn
down and we have the smell of paint
and the chatter of strangers. Can we not
at least preserve one such house in every
village, furniture, and old-fashioned gar
den and all else. keeping it for our chill
dren's sake, an Illustration on the page of
local history? What poor exchange for
this is single chair or an odd plate upon
the mantel of new house! Detached
from their proper surroundings, few OBJ
jects retain their real beauty. 1t is like the

TALBOT PARTS WITH BUD.
Mr.. Hauser No Longer Dispenses
the Coin of ]. Talbot
Clifton.
The Secretary Was Too Lavish With
the Lords Coin and They
Separate.

j. Talbot Clifton has parted with his Bud.
Not the rosebud that sometimes adorns the
lapel of his English-cut coat, but Bud
Hauser, his secretary and business man.
ager.
Hauser is young New Yorker, who ap-
peared upon the present racing horizon
some months ago. He is q good dresser,
and one of the frequenters of the Palace
Hotel billiard-room. At the races he posed
as a plunger, but never created the sensa-
tion that Riley Grammar or Pittsburg Phil
have.
During the horse-show Hauser ingratiated
himself in the goo graces of j. Talbot
eli fton, the wealthy Englishman and dar-
ing horseman, and mis- lordshIp was so
taken at the free-an d-easy way of the
young Fastener that ne offered him a
handsome salary to enter his employ.
Bud then blossomed forth as the gayesr
kind of sport. Swell dinners at his en-
ployers apartments in welI-known
downtown restaurant and scented cigar
cites had a most invigorating effect On the
young man. He attended the races in
stylish turnouts gaudily arrayed in a
dove-colored boxcoat and dashing Alpine
hat and spent money with lavish hand.
In fact this latter item, it is said, caused
his Iordshlp to dispense With the services
of his trusted secretary. During the
absence OF Mr.. Clifton for day or so Bud
invited friends out for moonlight rides
and terrapin-stews, all, it is SAID, at his
employers expense.
Gossipers told the news to j. Talbot
Clifton, and his blue blood boiled in vir-
tuous indignation, until it seemed his very
veins would burst. Then and there he re-
solved that his secretary was too swift,
even for scion OF British nobility, and he
proceed ed forthwith to await the secre-
tarys coming, that he might be cast again
among the hotsam and ietson of the cold,
cold world.
The parting-so the story goes-was not
long delayed. The Lord Clifton betook
himself late at evening to a neighboring
Turkish bath. In the Wee hours the gay
Bud also wandered into the same estab-
lishment. The meeting and the parting
are described as pathetic beyond descrip-
ton.
The debonair secretary approached his
master wreathed in smiles, but received a
look that nearly caused the hands on his
Waterbury timer to cease revolving. The
look was followed by action, and soon the
secretary found himself forcibly thrust out
of the door into darkness and exile forever.
The New Yorker feels deeply aggrieved
and duel with pneumatic-dynamite guns
in the near future is scarcely an improba-
bility.

Prize.
RAMIR0 TOOK THE ELMwOoD.
Miss Maxim Won Romping-A Flying
Start Gave Adam Race at 10
to in the Betting.

A fair-sized crowd viewed the racing at
Bay District track yesterday and saw the
crack Crescendo lose the Elmwood stakes
through fuke. The day was cold and frosty
and everybody went around muffied up
with hands in pockets. The bookmakers'
fingers, however, didn't tingle so badly
that they couldn't handle the coin, for
they grabbed everything that came their
way, and much came. The track was still
heavy, preventing any fast time.
Favorites were successful in four out OF
seven essays. The longest-priced winner
was Adam, who captured the sixth race at
odds of 10 to 1. His victory could be at
tributed to his flying start, the favorites
being let off at the tail end OF the bunch.
Interest was chiefly centered in the third
event of the day, the Elmwood stakes for
two-year-olds, at six furlongs, with a
guaranteed value to the winner of $500.
There were twelve starters. Sallie Clicquot,
carrying 10S pounds, was the post favorite
at to l, backed down from threes. Imp.
Santa Bella was next in demand at 81 to l..
Crescendo who with his numerous penal
ties for winning was asked to carry 125
pounds was third choice in the betting.
Plenty OF to was obtainable on him. Ra-
miro was quite extensively backed at 7 to
l, and so was Crafty, with Doggett up, at
IL to l, but the other starters cut little
figure in the betting.
AT the post there was considerable delay
before Ferguson let them away to a fair
start. Santa Bella was off first, followed
by Sallie Clicquot Ramiro and Princess
Noretta. The speedy Princess shot to the
front almost Immediately, and at the half
was leading BY a length, closely followed
by Sallie Clicquot, Santa Bella, Ramiro.
Crafty and Crescendo. Into the stretch
her lead had been decreased to a. head,
with but slight change in the order of the
others. When they straigtened away for
the wire Sloan, on Santa Bella, chose the
inside next the rail, while Sallie Clicquot
and Ramiro turned wide. At this
stage Princess Noretta fell out OF it..
A sixteenth from home Sallie Clio
quot and Ramiro on the outside
apparently held Santa Bella safe, and the
issue appeared to be between them. Sud-
denly Bergen cut loose from Crescendo and,
with gigantic strides, he began moving
down their lead. A hundred yards from the
wire be was on top of them, and with
plenty of daylight intervening Bergen
started to pass between the pair. Chorn
on Ramira deliberately pulled his mount
over, cutting Cresoendo off, compelling
Bergen to pull the big chestnut up and go
around Sally Clicquot, running all chance
OF winning. In hard drive Ramiro beat

A Kurdish Tent.

The tents of the Kurds, in which thew
seek the pasturage of the mountains in
summer, vary much in size, though in ap-
pearance and shape they conform through
out to one plan. The covering of the tents
consists of long, narrow strips of black
goats hair material sewn together length
ways. Along the center of the tent this
roofing is supported on three TO five
poles, according to the size, and stretched
out by ropes which. made fast to the edge
of the. roofing, are pegged securely to the
ground. The poles within the tent, being
OF some height, usually to 10 feet,
the edge of the tenting does not nearly
reach the ground, but walls are formed OF

ranged as to form patterns on the yellow
mats.-Blackwood; s Magazine.

This fact of the special helplessness OF
the human offspring at birth, of its long
period OF dependence On parental or other
aids-a period which probably tends to
grow longer as civilization advances-is
rich in biological and sociological signifi-

cially high development of the protective
ana fostering instincts in the human
parents, more particularly the mother

by these instincts what would become OF

Ger and others have argued, that the instl-

affections of the race, helping to develop

Life Here a Long Anthem Were 1t Not

Henry Varley, the evangelist, thus
summarizes his impressions of California
in letter to The Christian of London:
AS for California, am in love with the eli
mate and deeply attached TO the people. 1t is

sense of frost, whilst there is marvellous ex-
hilaration in the cool currents of air which
come with constant and balmy freshness to
San Francisco. have not once been troubled
with cold or bronchitis, ana never felt more
robust and strong than now.
I have seen much of the world, but that
State, think, surpasses all. Its productive
power is simply marvellous: for fruits and
flowers tits beyond description. The days and
months of peerless sunshine, mingled with
white mist upon which the direct rays of the
sun appear TO feed, effectually prevent the in
tensity of the heat of its direct rays.
Poverty should be unknown, and life a long
anthem of praise. This would be 20 were 1t
not ior sin. Intemperance, the worship OF
money and depravity OF the most attractive and
fascinating character literally blight the land
and prevent its development and prosperity
Crime and sin hideous and degrading, bid fair

by reason of the wickedness of those that dwell
therein"

Another Prominent Physician Passes
Away-Dies Near Creston.
The death of DIR. James W. Blake
occurred last Tuesday night at his fruit
farm near Creston, in San Luis Obispo
County, where the doctor had gone to
regain his fast-failing health, but an at
tack OF pleuro- pneumonia coming on
about week before his death was more
than his strength could withstand.
The doctor was born in London, Eng
land, February 7, 1874, and came to Cali
fornia in 1865, just at the end of the Civil
War. He engaged at once in the drug
business in Visalia and was very prosper
Gus, building up quite large business.
In 1872 he moved to this City with his
family and pursued the study OF medicine
at the Toland Medical College, graduating
in 1874 with high honors.
Since then he mas been in active practice
for twenty years, but from overwork and
failing health he was compelled in 1894 to
give up practice and retire to his ranch

entered to be sold for $500, and when put
up to be auctioned Grammar bid him mp to

usual So bid. Purser was very wrathy, and
it Is fortunate for Grammar that he owns
no horses.
Little Garner rode the winners of the
last two races.
Malo Diablo got over the jumps safely,
but dwelt too long in the air, losing con.

Owen had the mount. 1t seems strange
that this horse should run so well for a
time, carrying all kinds of weight, and

Adam was well backed by his stable
folks, who won very comfortable sum
over his victory. With an even break the
purse would surely have gone to George
Miller, who seems most unfortunate
horse in the majority of his races.
When Chorn, who rode Ralniro, weighed
in on the scales under the judges stand he
was found to be pound and quarter
short of weight. The clerk of the scales
accompanied him to the scales, where he
weighed out in the Jockeys room and his
weight was found to be correct.
