RECORDS A TRAGEDY,

Old Shattered Mirror That Has a History
In a country home near Athens there
is one thing that at once rivets the atten
tive gaze of stranger as he enters be
meath the hospitable roof. 1t arouses
the curiosity and stimulates to inquiry,
but one question is all that is ever asked,
for the sad answer always ends the con-
versation and shifts it to other subjects.
Hanging upon the wall near the fireplace
in which the huge oak logs blaze forth
5heir warmth and cheerfulness is an
old shattered mirror. A glance is suffi-
cient to tell that it has seen many years
of service, and that many decades have
come and gone since it was hung upon
the wall for the first time. 1t is past the
period of usefulness now, for it's shining
surface is shivered into many pieces, and
it no longer reflects the pleasant features
of the human face. That mirror has a
story of sadness connected with it, and a
small red stain upon the wall, now
almost obliterated by time, tells the
story. Years ago an old man was stand
ing in front of that mirror shaving. he
dreamed of no harm Detailing him, and
vet the Grim Reaper was at hand in a
most horrible form. The doorway vas
just behind him, and as the door noise
lessly opened younger man stepped in
and stood for a moment motionless.
Then dark scrowl settled upon the
features of the young man and he lifted
a gun to his shoulder. A sharp report
and the old man fell dead upon the floor.
The mirrow Was shattered and small
stain of blood left upon the wall. The
Young man was near relative of the old
man, and out of hasty revenge for some
act of the old man had taken his life
The murderer made his escape and was
never captured. The shattered mirror
still hangs in its place, sacredly guarded
by daughter Of the victim of that awful
tragedy. She allows nobody to touch it,
and it will hang there till she dies. What
reason can be assigned for its preserva-
ton no one can tell, but the daughter
chooses to keep it where it was the
morning of her fathers death.-Athens
Banner.

Cnrions oak rree in Georgia.

A resident of Augusta, Ga, has an
oak tree growing upon his place which
is not unlike other trees of that species
in general appearance. Instead !of pro-
d1cing the regula!i lion acorn, however, it
is annually loaded with peculiar form
ations as unlike the natural production
of such trees as one could imagine. AS
general rule the cup of an acorn is as
large or larger than thimole, covering
at least half of the acorn proper, but in
this case the tiny receptacle is not larger
than pea, and, instead of being con-
structed so as to hold but single nut or
kernel, contains from three to five small
ones, the number seeming to vary with
the distance from the ground, the cups
on the lower limbs being uniformly fill
ed with three of the tiny acorns. Bot
anist of national repute have pondered
this sylvan oddly and old settlers, noted
hunters and woodmen in general have
visited the wonder and left without even
attempting to name the variety of oak
to which it belongs.

A Sharp Trick.

An amusing thing occurred while 1 was
at Y Yokohama, says a recently returned
traveller. An official notice of the gov
eminent had been published in the
Japanese newspapers saying that all
Chinese who desired to depart must do SO
by a certain date, or else remain until the
war was over. Thereupon, All Shing, a
big clothing dealer of 10 Water street,
called all the Chinese together, and they
all agreed to go. They got their goods
to the dock and finally ab oard the steam
er, with themselves, and the steamer
pulled out. At the last minute it was
found that the wealthy merchant had
held his goods and slipped back t. the
CITY. He at once resumed business,
having ry gotten rid of all opposition mer-
chants, and is now rolling in riches
because of the great business he is
doing.

WESTERN JOURNALISM.

Journalism out west, while, by no
means, yet in its infancy, is unique and
original in it's entirety.
Out in that live-if-you-can part af the
United States, newspaper reporters have
to "boil down. things-that is, they are
supposed to put into four lines what
newspapers in other sections would
elaborate upon to the tune of column.
The following paragraphs will give
one an idea of how the newspaper bust
ness is conducted in Arizona:

REFUSED TO SAW WOOD.
w. III. Seaton Neglected to Compl.
With the Order of Court.

w. III. Seaton Neglected to Comply
With the Order of Court.
W H. Seaton, who for many months has
been unable to lind employment sufficient
to enable him to fulfill the order of court
commanding him to nay his wife S25 per
month alimony, and who was ordered by
Judge Hunt a few days ago to report at At
torney E. W. Morgan's back yard and saw
wood, will now have TO face the ire of the
Judge. He failed to carry out his instruc-
tions and has been cited to appear on next
Friday to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt OF court.
When the court ordered Seaton to report
and saw wood as means of increasing his
worldly wealth the almost tender glance
that he bestowed on his carefully kept
hands was plainly indicative of the fact
that he had decided antipathy to saving
wood in even his own yard.
During the intervening days between
the date of the courts order and
the day for his new employee to
go to work Attorney Morgan was hastily
preparing for generous reception. A
dozen bottles of beer were purchased that
Mr.. Seaton might quench the burning
thirst that was sure to overtake him ere
the days work was done. A nice, new
bucksaw, a tiny, red-handled hatchet, and
last but not least, fine, large slab of ba-
con rind with which TO grease the saw COM
pleted the outfit.

FOR HELPLESS CHILDREN,
Sale of Boxes and Seats To-Day
for the Hospital
Concerts.
Perfecting Arrangements so as to Get
the Most Harmonious Musical
Results.

Every day the management Of the Chill
dren's Hospital festival concert, which will
be held in the pavilion, become more con-
vinced OF the social and financial success
of this charitable effort. Everybody is
willing and anxious TO help and there is
no eud of talent to select from; in fact the
selection is the most difficult part of the
affair as the volunteers are all good.
On Thursday evening there will be a
grand mass rehearsal of the San Fran
cisco and Oakland choruses in Metropoli-
tan Hall. Henry Bretherick will preside
at the organ and Miss Edith Johnson at
the piano.
Miss Lake and Miss West, the heads of
two fashionable young ladies' boarding
schools, have offered the services of their
young lady pupils to act as ushers a the
auction sale OF tickets at the Baldwin
Iheater this afternoon. AT this sale large
diagrams of the pavilion will be placed
upon the stage, that purchasers may see
where their seats are located in the pavi-
lion. George A. Knight and District
Attorney Barnes will officiate as auc-
tioneers, and the sale will be enlivened by
music during 1ntermissions. 1t is expected
that the advisory committee, composed of
society people, will be present at the sale.
1t is expected that there will be no
trouble to dispose of all of the sixty-eight
boxes at $40 each. These boxes are six
feet by six feet in size and will be placed
in two rows. The first will be three feet
above the m ain floor, and the second row
two, but above the first. The seating ca
paclty of the main floor will be about 1000
and the gallery 1000.
The reserved seats on the main floor will
cost 81 so, 81, IS cents, and the general ad-
mission for the gallery will be 50 cents.
Great pains have been taken in order to
produce the best musical effects. The
stage will be 56 by 5S feet in dimen'ion.
The seats on the stage will be elevated,
radiating from a central point, and viii ac-
commodate 1000 people.
A large sounding board of quarter
inch lumber will be constructed over the
entire stage, SO as to throw the sounds dis
tinctly to all parts of the big pavilion
The railroads have given the management
a great reduction for those in the interior
cities who desire to attend the concerts.
From Sacramento, Stockton and San Jose
only one and one-third fares will be
charged for round-trip tickets, and in
those cities it is expected that several car
leads of sixty people to the car will make
excursions to this City.

SCANLAN'S THRIFTY WAYS
The Friend Of the Widow Tries
to Collect a Note
Twice.
His Friend, William A. Jones, Had
Confidence in Him and They
Drank Together.

Thrifty Charles II. Scanlan, who has
been prominently before the courts on a
number of occasions as a defendant, got
a decided setback when he appeared before
Justice of the Peace Cook yesterday in the
role OF plaintiff. Seaman is the man who
was accused by a number of widows of
borrowing their savings and failing to re-
turn the same after gaining their conf
dence under promise OF marriage. Mem
bers of the male sex also confessed when
the expose of his methods came to have
fallen victims to Scanlan's glib tongue,
and for while he was in pot OF trouble.
He managed to escape with his freedom
and q whole Skin, however, and later
turned up as participant in a plan to
procure pardons for conyicts at San
Quentin He appeared to be q man OF
affairs and easily gained the confidence of
those who later had reason to regret hav-
ing met him. William a. Jones is one of
these and it was in suit brought against
him by Scanlan that the astute Charles
came to grief.
Jones was at one time friend of Scan
lans, or, at least, thought he was, and the
pair had a number of financial transac-
tlons. In one of these Jones gave Scanlan
note for 500 10 balance an account.
This Seaman carried for some time, and,
meeting Jones on the street one day, said !:
Lets settle up this matter and settle our
accounts" An adjournment to a neigh
boring saloon followed, and Jones soon
had possession of his note, which Scanlan
gave up after a satisfactory settlement
Then Jones tore up the paper, and both
men repaired to the bar and had a couple
OF drinks together to show how friendly
they felt about the matter.
few days later Jones was astonished
at being served with papers in suit for
the payment of the note and interest.
When the case came to trial Scanlan took
the stand and swore positively that he
had never received a cent on the note and
that the 500 with accrued interest was
still due.
Jones swore just as positively that he
had paid the note and brought evidence to
corroborate his testimony. Justice Cook
evidently believed the defendant, for he
gave judgment in his favor. with a few
caustic remarks on the conduct of the
plaintiff. During the course of the trial it
was developed that Jones was not only not
indebted to Scanlan, but that the latter
was the debtor, Jones having indorsed his
paper on at least one occasion and having
10 stand by his Endorsement.

CALIFORNIA AT ATLANTA.
Prospects of the Gold Medal for the
Best State Exhibit.

At meeting of the California State Board
Of Trade yesterday an interesting letter
from Secretary J. A Filcher was read. He is
in Atlanta in charge of the California ex-
hibit. Speaking OF the exhibit Mr..
Filcher writes:
1t is regarded here as one OF the most in
teresting, instructive and beautiful exhibits at
this exposition. 1t is the talk of the town and
all visitors to the fair come TO see it, and all
praise it and heap cncomiums on the State
that makes it, A majority of the people of the
South seem to have had only vague idea OF
California. Our exhibit has awakened them
10 d realization of the character of our State
and they admit frankly that our products sur
pass anything they ever saw before The
trade in California produce has been stimu-
lated by our coming here, and if one-haIf go
TO California as the result of this show who
declare they are going there will soon be a
large addition to our population. Not few
have declared within my hearing that they
had been ambitious to go to Europe but
now they believed they would rather 60 to
California
The committee on awards has completed its
labors and its report will be published I
think, before you receive this communication
/ have assurances that California will carry
away the lions share OF medals and diplomas,
besides having q good chance TO secure the
one grand gold medal recommended for the
best State exhibit. This will be decided bv
the committee of higher awards at an adj
journed meeting to be held in the City of
Washington.
J. B. Lankershim of Los Angeles, who
recently returned from Atlanta, corrobor-
ated all Mr. Filcher stated. He said that
the California exhibit is the most artistic
and attractive one on the ground. and
added that no better man than Mr. Filcher
could have been found to manage the en-
tire affair
