FAMINE STRICKEN PRISONERS
Unfortunate State of Affairs in San
Francisco


Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, April:29. The super
ntendents of all the public institutions
of this city under control of the supervis-
ors are anxiously awaiting the coming of
Wednesday, as upon that day the prison
ers and the patients in their care will be
without food unless the authorities can
find some way out of the trouble the city
is in. The funds in the treasury are prac-
tically exhausted, and the contractors
have notified the board that they will not
furnish any more supplies until they re-
ceive some guarantee that they will be
paid. The fire department is nearly out
of hay and coal. and at least 1925, 900 is
needed for supplies until the end of the
fiscal year. There will not be a loaf of
bread or pound of potatoes for the 900 in
mates of the almshouse after Tuesday
night. The butchers have given notitica-
ton that Tuesday will be the last day
upon which they serve meat to the pris-
oners unless money or its equivalent is
found somewhere. At the city and county
hospital the drug supply has about run
out, and the same condition of affairs ex-
lists at the county hospital. The superin-
tendent says that three or four days
there will be nothing there to eat. The
supervisors will meet today and discuss
ways aud means of ayerting the crisis.
Mayor Sutro proposes that resolution
be adopted calling fer a special tax levy
to meet the deficiency and that the mat
ter be at once taken to the supreme court
and tested
This action may be taken because of
the views expressed by ex Judge McKin-
stry of the state supreme court. He is
supposed to believe that the supreme
court would look upon the claims of the
contractors for the support and mainten-
ance of the institutions of the city and
county as outside OF the constitutional in
hibition against incurring an indebted
ness beyond the current revenue of the
year to meet. The Indebtedness referred
to in the constitution is such as it is
within the discretion of the board to in
cur or not to incur, and ex Judge McKin-
stry believes the supplies for the main
tenance of these Institutions are not
within the discretion of the board to in
cur or not to inucr. The institutions
are established and many of them filled
with the wards of the city and to main
tam them is mandatory.

THE BREAKING OF A DYKE
Additional Details of the Awful Disaster in
France


France
PARIS, April 29.-The Epinal reser-
voir. the bursting of which caused the
destruction of $40 600 600 worth of prop
erty and the loss of over loo lives, had a
superficial area of 200. 600 square metres.
In 1884 a large assure in the main dam
developed. This was filled with cement
and oak beams. In 1885 the feed canal
burst above Bouzey and carried away a
length of twenty metres. Several houses
were destroyed on this occasion, but no
lives were lost. Some time before this
an inspector of roads and bridges an
nounced that the condition of the dam
was dangerous and notified the people Of
Bouzey to watch for a possible disaster
In 1892 there was a second accident to the
wall of the dam near Epinal. During the
past.two years the wall of the dam. which
should have been straight has shown Il
bulge to the extent of one metre. The
chief engineer OF roads and bridges who
directed the building of the dam. had
great difficulty with his colleagues in or
der to carry out his plans of strai ght
dam instead of curved one. The shape
of the dam is now given as the cause of
the accident. but there is q possibility
that the disaster was caused by the illness
for the past ten days of the inspector
who was charged with the supervision of
the dam.
The whole region over which thousands
of tons of water swept in resistless flood
is strewn with every sort of wreckage and
the whole country presents most desc
late appearance. In many places the early
crops were swept clean out of the ground
and the losses thus incurred will be very
heavy. The distress among the jewellers
in the valley is very great and in many

WHO WROTE TRILBY?
Authorship OF Famous Work Bobs Ur
In Court


DENVER. April 29.-Did Du Maurier
write Trilby? This sensational question
was today propounded in the United
States court in good faith when the suit
of Harper Brothers and A. Nj. Palmer for
an injunction against the Lyceum Stock
company to restrain them from producing
Trilby was called.
The defendants allege that the book en-
titled Trilby was not originated, invented
or written by Du Maurier. They assert
that the original book of Trilby was first
published in France in 1920, and after
wards translated and published in Eng
land in lS47, and that the title and book
have been public property for seventy
five years.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs asked
for time to communicate with their
clients IN New York as to the course they
should pursue and the court postponed the
hearing until Wednesday morning.

How a Dog Became a TeetotaIer.

A lady at Westgate-on-Sea tells re- markable anecdote of dog who was cured of it's evil habit of love for liquor. Some mischievous persons had so often given to her fath er's great dog bits of bread soaked in beer that Neptune grew fond of the artificial dainty. One day when large party was returning from picnic, Nep was put on the box seat beside the driver of the carriage, as he seemed too tired to run home all the way. He must have drunk some liquor at the feast, for on the road he fell from the carriage to the ground. No bones were broken, though he must have got severe shake and fright in the fall. The result was that Nep never once after that day could be induced to touch bread soaked with liquor, turning from it with loath- ing and contempt, the very smell of it being repulsive. In fact, he became teetotaler.

A HUMELED DANDY,
The Heartless Trick Played Upon Him by
 Lord Randolph Churchill.


 At an entertainment once, where Lady Randolph Churchill was playing on the piano, says Kate Fields Wash ington, tall youth was observed pay ing languid and rather insolent atten- tlon to the music, standing close enough to the performer to have his comments easily overheard by her. Lord Randy" was close at hand, too, and presently heard the vapid youth remark: ''Deuced fine music, you know, but it lacks veal soul-it lacks veal soul" To the critics astonishment, muscular young man, with big mustache, whom he had not noticed before, whispered in his ear: ''For a shilling I'd wallop the life out of youl" He hastened to withdraw, but without discovering the identity of the author of the menace. The next day, to his delight, he received an invi- tation to the Churchills' home, which he accepted with avidity. On entering the house he was met by his threatening neighbor of the night before, who, he at once discerned, must be Lord Ran dolph. He proceeded no further than the entrance hall, for Churchill beck oned to the drawing-room, and out f1oated Lady Churchill. "This fellow has come to apologize to you for his re- marks of last night" hissed Lord Ran dolph. ''Now," to the stranger, "down on your knees!" Down went the dandy, lisping out the most abject plea for for giveness. Then he was turned over to footman to be put ignominiously out of the door, while the host followed his retreating figure with roar of de- risive laughter.

Growth of the Hog.

To get a quick growth on a pig, first
get the right kind of stock, then feed
plenty of various kinds of food and give
a good, roomy pen, says the Farm and
Home Some hog raisers have the best
stock obtainable but they do not succeed
in getting them as large at a certain age
as others. The most of the hogs that are
raised in our country have enough good
blood in them to make a fast growth
if properly cared for, but we all have so
much pushing work on the farm that we
neglect our hogs more than anything else
on the place. If we expect good results
we must do our part and when We Go
this we will be profited by it. We often
notice in a litter of pigs one or two small
ones and we generally know why they are
smaller than the others, because they
do not get their share of milk from the
dam. When we see a pig that is getting
behind the rest we should manage some
way to feed 1t and keep it growing right
will find it a poor feeder. 1t never will
grow as fast as the others. This is why
some breeders have an uneven lot of pigs.
After the pigs are weaned, and we be-
gin to feed them, we will find the larger
ones crOwding the smaller ones away from
the trough. a good idea would be to take
all the smaller ones and put them by
themselves and give them all they can eat
of various kinds of food, such as ship
stuff, BRAN corn, meal, whole wheat ana
an occasional feed of oil meal. You can
not get quick growth on a pig with
corn. They soon get tired of it, become
feverish, and begin to root in the ground
for something cooling to their scorched
stomachs. The pig that has a good range
will always do better than those shut up
in small pens, no matter how you feed
them. Exercise is as essential as good feed
in order to produce a fast growth. Do
not shut little pigs in tight pen and con-
them into market. The cheapest way to
raise hogs is the quickest way.
