1t requires frequent changes
of advertisements to get all OF
the many lines we carry to
the notice of the public. You
have no idea of the number
of things we have for Christ
mas. We will tell you some
thing new each week. A lit
tie about the usefulness of 5
O'clock Teas will interest you
to-day. You must under
stand that these things are
not merely for ornament,
they may be put to good use
even when the lady Of the
house is not dawdling over
her tea cups. 1t is no longer
a fad, but in a great measure,
an article Of necessity. One
Of them may be used even by
the bachelor in making his
morning coffee or his punch.
Let us give you a recipe or
two: Take a half glass of
Scotch Whiskey, a glass of
boiling water, lump Of SUI
gar, some thin shavings of
lemon peel; stir well and
drink, if you like punch of
this sort. If you have a five
o'clock tea you will not have
to run to the kitchen to get
your hot water make it boil
in the kettle which you have
in your room. We can fur
nish you a little book con-
tanning thirty-three recipes
for dishes in which the 5
O'clock Tea Kettle may be
used in preparing. That is,
we furnish the books to pur-
chasers of the kettles which
we sell at from $3.50 up; mar
velously low prices compared
with what you have been
paying. These teas are Of the
best quality-the difference
in the price is the difference
in the ornamentation and
size.
RA. To accommodate the
public our Store will be kept
open every night from now
until after the holidays. We
have to do this in order to
accommodate the public.

Terrible Injuries Received by q Seattle
Policeman.
SEATTLE, Oct. 14.-Policeman John
Corbett, one of the bravest men on the
force, is lying at the point of death at
Providence hospital, his body covered
with knife wounds, received while in
the performance of his duty. At the
same hospital is John O'Connor, alias
Connor, a suspected thief, who is dying
with bullet from the officers revol-
yer in his body. At police headquar-
ters is Banford Bouser, a sailor, with
knife wounds on his hands, and Daniel
McNamara, proprietor Of the Wan
derer saloon, is suffering from severe
bullet wound in his right arm.
1t all happened this morning at S
o'clock when Officer Corbett attempted
to arrest O'Connor on charge of hav-
ing robbed Bouser by ripping open
his trousers pockets and taking there
from his money, So in gold and S5 in
silver. O'Connor is responsible for
the wounds on Corbett and Sailor Bou-
ser, and the brave policemen is re-
sponsible for the wounds of the sus-
pected thief and those of the saloon
keeper.
Officer Corbettis frightfully cut, hav-
ing about dozen wounds. If he dies,
it will be Immediately due to wound
in the abdomen, two inches to the left,
and three inches below the navel. His
nose is almost severed from his face,
while his breast, arms and legs are
slashed in a CHASTITY manner. O'Con-
nor's fatal wound is in the back, the
policeman having shot him while he
was trying to escape.

| SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. l2.-The
United States court of appeals has de-
cided in favor of Mrs. Stanford on the
appeal taken from Judge Ross sustain
ing the demurrer of Mrs. Stanford in
the suit brought against her to-recover
$l5, ,337 900 alleged to be due the gov
ernment from the estate of Leland
Stanford on account of Central Pacific
bonds. The decision was handed down
today, signed by Circuit Judge Gilbert
and District Judges Morrow and Haw-
ley. The decision holds that if O liza
bility exists it is purely a creature of
statute, and there is no relief to be OBJ
tanned in the premises from any suit
in equity.
The opinion stated that the question
before the court seems to be whether
the stockholders shall be held individ-
ually liable for the debt of the COM
pany. The court held that the liabil-
ity of the stockholders of the Central
could not be different from those of
the Union Pacific and had there been
a consolidation of the two companies,
the debt could not have been collected
from the stockholders; and what would
apply to them then applies now. Judge.
Gilbert, who read the decision, cited
at length the laws governing the
stockholders of the Union Pacific. In
this instance the shareholders were
not held liable and it is explicitly so
stated in the charter which was OBJ
tanned in Illinois. On the other hand,
the state of California imposed a per-
sonal liability cl1use when the Central
Pacific was incorporated; "but," said
the court, sit is reasonable to suppose
when the government granted the two
roads the subsidies, that it intended to |
hold the shareholders of one person
ally liable and not the other? Can it |
be imputed that this was the intent of |
congress when it set aside the lands |
and assumed part of the debt of the |
The court further on |
urged that it was the intention of con-
gress to put both roads on the same
footing. Judge Davis, of Illinois, has
already decided thatsthe Union Pacific
stockholders were not liable. Again
5he court remarked: "It' is notreasona-
Die to presume that individuals would
nave engaged in such enterprise were
hey to imperil not only their invest
nents but their private fortunes"
The case will be taken to the United
States supreme court.

The Inherltance-Tax Law.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE ex-
ecutors of the Wilmerding estate pro-
pose to test the econstitutionality of the
inheritance-tax law on the ground that
estates under $500 are exempt from the
tax. This is said to be in violation of
the provision of the constitution that
all legislation in this direction shall
have uniform applica tion. Judge
Coffey has upheld the act, and the case
will be carried to the supreme court,

Magnificent Sight Witnessed Among the

Magnificent Sight Witnessed Among the
Aleutian Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14.@The rev.
enue cutter Commodore Perry has re-
turned from the northern sea, where
she has been confronted every night
for weeks by gigantic line of flames.
As Captain Smith expressed it, "The
devils stokers have been stirring up
the subterranean sea of flames that is
supposed to lie thousands of feet above
Behring's bed, and as consequence,
fully 20 of the present volcanoes in the
Aleutian chain are now active"
The line of islands lying between
Behring sea and the Pacific ocean be-
long to the United States, and on
them are probably the only active vol
canoes lying witha American terri,
tory. Much has been Written of Bo-
gaslov island, which has been throw
ing up cloud of steam at times for
years; but it was supposed all the other
peaks on this singular line Of islands
were extinct craters. Now, as far as
the eye can reach from any point in
Behring sea, adjacent, or even at
distance from the famous seal islands
the rising smoke and steam can be
seen in both directions. The eruption
is general and so very lively that at
night the airy columns take on the re-
ffections of the fires deep in the earth
beneath the craters.
Nowhere else on the globe can such
a sight be witnessed. In the daytime
only the white smoke or steam is Wis.,
ible. AS dusk comes and darkness
follows the wonder grows. The bright
columns show up in the cold Alaskan
night first, and, as itgets darker, other
vivid clouds of smoke are to be seen.
Sometimes, when the position of the
observer is advantageous, a dozen or
Is of these modern pillars Of fire are in
sight.
The show of subterranean force is
the most noteworthy ever observed on
American soil. Asproof of the mystic
power that is at work beneath the
islands, neck of land has been forced
up out of the sea between Bogaslov,
and the two islands are now one. 1t is
queer-looking land that has taken the
place of one of the passes shown on
the chart as connecting the Behring
sea with the greater ocean to the south
ward. The rocks in this neck are
manifestly of volcanic origin, but are
smooth on the surface, as if once
melted.

The purrant Trial.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE 18th
week of the Durrant trial will com.
mence with the opening of court to-
morrow, there being no session today
to accomodate the business men on the
jury. 1t is believed both sides will
close their testimony before the week
is out. The closing scenes of this most
famous criminal trial in the annals of
California is being watched with keen
interest. Durrant in his testimony, Is
believed to have made a bold stroke
for freedom. The prosecution, how
ever, believes it can produce testimony

FEATURES OF THE PAST WEEK.

Heavy Volume of Business Causes Uncer-
tainty About the Future.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
The price barometer gives indica-
tions that are not entirely favorable.
Cotton goods go up with increased
evidence that the crop of cotton is
short. Prices, of manufactured pro-
ducts of wool, hides and leather all
show some decline. the general abate-
ment in new orders being the principal
cause. With an immense volume of
business, not much exceeded in the
largest month of the exceptional year
of 1892. and with evidence that in sew
eral branches the volume has surpassed
that of any previous year, there is a
growing uncertainty about the near
future of industries. Money markets
are neither strained nor threatening,
foreign exchange no longer raises ap-
prehension, and all fears about the
great northern crops are past. There
have been few advances in wages of
labor within the past month, and only
few works have been closed by strikes
for an advance.

HURRICANES WORK.

Continued Reports of Great Damage in

GUAYMAs, Mexico, Oct. 11.-Ad-
vices slowly reaching this port from
the Pacific ports of Mexico and ports
on the west side of the Gulf of Cali
fornia confirm the intelligence that
the hurricane which swept northward
during the four days-September 80,
and October l, 2. and 3-caused great
damage to property and shipping. and
that number of lives were lost.
Telegraph wires were prostratrated
and information comes in by degrees
from below.
The hurricane crossed the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, and swept up the
coast into the Gulf of California, do
ing great damage. The hurricane was
accompanied by deluges of water that
completed the ruin the wind had
wrought. At Topolobampo all the
houses of the American colony were
greatly damaged and the custom-house
was wrecked. The Ahomy river north
of Topolobampo overflowed its banks
and destroyed sugar plantations and
sugar mills 80 miles away from the
channel of the stream.
The entire cane crop Of the state of
Sinaloa as far as reported is completely
ruined, and the sugar lands and refin-
cries at Ahone, the property of Mark
Sherwood, of Chicago, and his associ-,
ates, were demolished. The sugar
crop on the Youyi river, in the state
of Sonora, is also destroyed. The
damage to the sugar interests of So
nora and Sinaloa is estimated at
several millions of dollars.
Several coasting steamers are over
due at Guaymas, and great apprehen-
sion is felt for their safety. The
Willamette Valley found safety in
Magdalena bay. Topolobambo is the
farthest point south from which ad-
vices are at hand, and what the dam
ages are below that point is unknown,
but believed to be great.

| SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1I.-District
Attorney Barnes today resumed the
| cross examination of Theodore Durrant
on the subject of the component parts
| of bromo-seltzer. Barnes said he
wished to show that sufficient
quantity of bromo-seltzer would kill a
person who had been partly overcome
by gas. Durrant said he had q general
knowledge of the component parts of
the medicine and he denied that the
active principle of that medicine was
bromide of potassium.
Durrant became confused while being
questioned with regard to the notes of
the lecture given by DIR. Cheney on
the afternoon that Blanche Lamont
was murdered. The district attorney
asked Durrant if it was not fact that
he did not take any notes at the lecture.
Durrant said that it was not. Durrant
WAS then asked if he did not ask DR..
Gilbert f. Graham for his notes, at the
same time saying that he had notes
and could establish good alibi. Dur
rant said he did not ask Graham for
the notes, as Graham came to him at
the prison and volunteered to lend him
his notes. Durrant said at the time of
Graham 8 visit he did not know whether
he had the notes or not, although he
afterward admitted that on April 10th
he asked student named Glazier to
read his notes to him. Durrant said
his notes of the lecture were meager.
and as Glazier read his notes he ex-
panded his own.
The weak part of Durrant's testi-
mony was his statement that when he |
was arrested on April 18th he did not |
lecture or not, although he |
had compared his notes with student
Glaciers four days before and knew
that he was suspected of killing the
girl who had disappeared on the day I
the lecture was given. Durrant said
be would have the jury believe that
when he was arrested he had forgotten
or not he had notes of the
lecture. When questioned closely as
TO when he forgot about the notes and
also the day when he remembered
about them. He said he forgot the
notes on April 13, the day before he
was arrested, and remembered them
again on April 18th. The court took
