A very edifying spectacle on our
streets yesterday afternoon was a man
and wife named Bennett who live south
of here. in disgraceful state of intoxi-
cation. They in company with two
small sons had come here to attend the
fair, and celebrate. judging from the
way the family appetite for guZZling
got the better of them. After the pro-
gram at the fair had been completed
they started for home, and when a
short distance out OF town became en-
gagged in quarreling and fighting. The
woman alighted from the wagon and
returned to town, but the old man con-
tinued his journey home. After sup
per the city authorities escorted the
former to the city bastile where she
languishes this morning. When ar
rested she entered very vigorous pro-
test at going, which aVailed her naught.
Her efforts to liberate herself were
from some points of view appealing
and pathetic, but under the circum-
| stances would not admit of respect.

PRINCES AND OTHERS INDULGE.
A Popular Fad to Which Many White
People Fall Willing Victim
for Life.

For the last year visitors to Japan have
gone wild over having their bodies tattooed
by Horo Chic, Grand Tattooer to his High
ness the Emperor and incidentally minor
embellisher to all sorts of people at the reg
ular rates.
Horo Chic, as witnessed on his native
heath by Sands Forman, who was there
in May, is very unusual Jep, whose

only fascinating and acknowledgements a
commercial success.
There is great big factory in San Fran
cisco where raw silk is made into en-
broidery silk, sewing silk and twist. Hun
dreds of girls work here, but the raw silk
is brought from China or from Europe.
This material called raw silk is direct
from the cocoons.
And that reminds me that I forgot to
tell you just what the cocoons are like
and what becomes OF those that are not
allowed to hatch.
They are pretty, soft, silky balls, shaped
very much like peanuts, but rather
plumper; and the variety cultivated here
is creamy white. Some that come from
France are fine pea-green and the Chi
nese cocoons are bright yellow.
To make silk the cocoons are plunged
into boiling water, or else the life of the
larya inside is destroyed with chemicals.
Then. while the cocoon is wet, the silk is
wound off. 1t comes in a continuous
string; always two strands of it, and many,
many Yards long. This silk, wound
from the cocoons, is the raw silk of COM
merce.

silkworms?
The only idle time in their lives is the

wound up in the little silk houses.
Even then they have something to do
which looks little difficult.

INSURANCE MEN In TT.
They Are to Join in the Suit Against
the City and Water
COMPANY.

The City and the Spring Valley Water
Company will meet the suit OF the prop
erty-owners in the burnt district for dam
ages with a vigorous defense.
No papers have been filed yet, but 1T IS
well established that the owners of several
hundred thousand dollars worth of prop
erty are combined in the suit for damages,
and it was stated yesterday that the in
surance companies that have had heavy
losses to pay by reason of the confagra-
ton had joined the plaintiffs in the suit.
Both sides have been diligently engaged
in gathering evidence bearing on the case,
and stubborn fight is likely to ensue in
the courts. Just what the position Of the
insurance companies is in the case cannot
be ascertained beyond the fact that they
stand "pat" with the plaintiffs. They
were heavy losers by the fire and If the
prosecution of the damage suit is success
full they will be REIN bursed for much of
their loss.
The attorneys in charge OF the case for
the fire sufferers have amassed consider
able evidence bearing on the asserted IN
adequacy of the water supply, small and
corroded pipes, ETC., and only few of the
property owners in the district swept by
the flames have declined to join in the
suit. The latter class includes those who
were well insured.

cor if he has nervous or general
debility, lack of appetite or in

that his system is not getting

and he DOES NOT NEED

THE SAUSALITO AQUATIC SHOW
A Date Is Arranged for the Water
Eete.


Fete.
A meeting of the executive committee on
the Sausalito water fete was held yesterday
afternoon in General Dickinson's office.
J. B. Stetson represented the ferry COM
pany, and Mr.. Donzeie the California Fire
works Company. A rough plan of the
form the entertainment should take was
briefly mapped out. A line of Chinese
lanterns will extend from New Sausalito to
a point below the Pacific Yacht Club, and
all the houses along the water front and
upon the hill will be similarly decorated.
There will be two full brass bands engaged,
one to play on the shore and the other in
barge, which will accompany the pro-
cession of yachts, tugs, launches and small
boats. These will be abundantly furnished
with rockets and fireworks OF every de-
scription, and in the train will be two
barges, from which big volcanoes will belch
forth fire, while the batteries of the yachts
will keep up steady cannonade.
At the close of this procession the barges
will be moored about 500 yards OF shore,
and some 800 yards apart, and the naval
engagement will begin. From the sup
posed fort on the beach, forty mortars Will
open on the barges with decorating shells,
making the illusion as realistic as possible
The date of the celebration will be IN the
first week in October, but ii the Chinese
Ian tern problem can be solved this may be
changed to the last week in September.
1t is at present the intention of the COM
mittee to telegraph to Hongkong on Mon
day, and have about II 600 dozen lanterns
shipped in the steamer that departs thence
on the 9th of the month. These lanterns
will be furnished the citizens at the hgures

and live and die you can buy them by the
ounce, and an ounce of eggs will hatch
into thousands Of worms.
A few years ago some kind woman who
wished to find work that poor women and
children could do at their homes gave a
great deal of attention to silk culture. The
United States Government tried to help
the industry, too, and stations were estab-
lished IN various parts OF our country.
One station on the Piedmont hills has
several acres of fine mulberry trees and a
suitable building for the worms.
A child years old can feed the silk
worms, and the work is intensely interest
ing. However, after great deal of trying
it was found that the work OF silk+making
is too slow and too troublesome to pay in
our country.
The French peasant women, who are so
poor and so patient that they turn every
moment to accommodating while they
walk and selling the very hair of their
heads-these find the profits of silk culture
enough.
And the poor people of China, who can
live on very little rice, these can earn

silk which generally happens to be his
tomb.
If the cocoons are let alone, and if the
temperature is reasonably warm, they are
burst open in from three to five weeks,
and beautiful moth comes out of each.
The moths have great, happy-looking
eyes, and the males, which are gayer and
prettier than the females, choose each a
lady love. These mates fly away together
as far as they can, and the male flutters
about and tries to make good impression
upon his lady love for short time.
In one or two days the poor fellow is
dead; and as soon as his mate has laid her
eggs she dies, too.
One moth will lay enough eggs to hatch
out a whole colony of silkworms. The
eggs, which are not much bigger than
grains of sand, are laid in neat little rows,
usually upon piece OF white paper which
some careful hand has supplied. The eggs
are supplied with a gluey substance which
causes them to adhere to the paper.
