Dead Mans Hollow is one of the most
nesolate places on the Virginia side of the
Potomac opposite Washington.
The locality is suggestive Of dark crime.
Commencing at Spy Run, at point
contiguous tot the gambling resorts,
Il stretches away for about mile. 1t is
dreary hollow, witA a small pebbled stream
running through it, and the sides covered
with a scubby growth of young oaks
and shrubpery.
The last victim Of Dead Mans Hollow
was Jesse webster, a CoIored youth, who
was shot through the back while walking
through the gu.ch last Sunday.
There are many stories told about the
gloomy ravine. Soldiers from Fort Myer,
on the crest Of The hill, have been waylaid
and robbed there.
II is also known that murders have
been committed ia the hollow, and that
the traditions OF the place are weird aud
mysterious 1t has also been fayoTite
place for suicides, Gypsies pitch tAeir
tents in tile northern end Of the hollow,
and crap shooters find safety in its sol
3tude and Semi-glpsm.

The Married Woman FItrt.

The ridiculous little woman who takes
pleasure in flirting while she is away from
her husband at some summer resort is a
deadly foe of the summer girl, says the
Philadelphia Times. Moreover, like the
widows, she is very attractive to the young
men and others of the sex. The girls dread
her and envy her. She can have such
jolly good time without attracting any
great degree of notoriety. She can fear
lessly bid defiance to convenuonality she
can drink champagne, she can do anything
that pleases her fancy, and she takes ad-
vantage of such freedom. The young men
think her so sympathetic, at first, little
later sympathy develops into platonic af-
fection-if such a thing is allowed in these
fin de steele times-and finally the poor,
foolish chaps think they are dead in love
with the scheming little woman and breathe
deep sighs and VOW lasting vows Of un-
dying affection And the summer girls look
on and mnrmur against cruel fate and mar
ried women who are temporarily widowed
and fascinating real "relicts," who look
mournful and penSivc and charming to the
eyes sofman, and the young manin particular.

AN INCUBATOR BABY.
It Weighs Only Two Pounds, but Is
Happy in Its Strange
Home.

In the Maternity Home out at the Chill
dren's Hospital in this City very curious
sight is to be seen.
A tiny bit of humanity, weighing only
two pounds, is battling for its life in a cop
per incubator. Swathed in cotton and
covered with fannels this little pigmy is
cared for by several nurses, who supply it
with spoonful of nourishment once every
two hours. Though but eight inches in
length the child is perfectly formed, and
has gained two. ounces in weight since its
birth.
This is the hospitals first incubator
baby" and its nurses are confident that it
will live and thrive on its present treat
ment. The incubator used is copper ar
rangement made from combining two bath
tubs, one small enough to fit into the
other, leaving one inch of space between
the sides of the two tubs. Hot water is
poured into this space every two hours,
thus keeping a constant temperature of
about 80 deg. The child was born in the
French Hospital one week ago, and is an
object of great interest in the Children's
Hospital, to which it was transferred.
The nurses regret that the wee tot being
girl, cannot be named Little Jim" but
it was suggested that little Jemimah might
answer as well.

RUSS|A'S WIND WITCH.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
Seed of the Weed Brought Into
California on Railroad
Freightcars.

The agriculturists of this State are be-
coming considerably worried about the
Russian thistle that has appeared in sew
eral localities. The State Commissioners
have taken hold of the matter of ex-
terminating the weed before it causes the
damage here that it has in other States
and in various portions of Europe and
Siberia.
1t has already an alarming hold on the
southern parts of California and is grad
ually working its way north. The Russian
thistle or cactus is called by the Russians

tumble-weed class, and many believe that
it evolved from the common salt wort of

A Theatrical Event.

The Pacific Lodge of the American
Actors Association gave their first social

being the first gathering of the kind held
by the order in this country. The affair
was intended as means of expressing the
gratitude of the order to those who had
assisted them in making their benefit a
success.
The opening hour was fixed for 1880
o'clock. It was II 80 before the guests be-
gan to arrive in any number. They gath
cred in the main lodgeroom, where long
line of tables we're spread with good
things.
An impromptu programme ensued. The
affair was entirely informal and was thor
oughly enjoyed.

Miles With a wheelbarrow.

Seventeen years ago, IN 1878, Lyman Pot
ter of New York State performed the pro-
digious task of pushing common
paddy wheelbarrow across the CONT
nent. He started from his home on Dane
street, Albany. N. Y, on the morning of
April 10, 1878, and arrived in San Fran
cisco on the afternoon of October 5 of
the same year, being almost exactly 178
days Give hours and three minutes over
in performing the wearisome feat. Potter
was shoemaker, and the trip was the re-
suit of wager made by some friends who
believed that such a trip would occupy at
least 200 days. The wager was $1,000, but
Potter made between three and five times
that sum advertising for different parties
along the route. The wheelbarrow was
made specially for the use to which it was
put and weighed but seventy-five pounds.
The distance travelled by Potter was ex-
actly 40S53z miles.-St. Louis Republic

LABOR COUNCILS WORK.
An Effort to Revive Interest in the
Proceedings of the
Bodv,


The San Francisco Labor Council held
It's regular meeting last night.
Though the attendance was small, the
interest was lively and warm discussions
took place under the head of the good of
the order.
Considerable discussion was caused by
the suggestion of T. F. Burns of the Cigar
makers Union that general conference
of all the labor unions be called for the
purpose of discussing ways and means
looking to the advancement of the labor
ing interests in this City. His idea was
that all the unions should be represented.
During his remarks he took occasion to
criticize the lukewarmness of the unions
in not keeping up their representation in
the council and taking an active interest
in it's work.
Several OF the delegates differed from
Mr.. Burns, claiming that at least three
quarters of all the regularly organized
unions in the City were represented in the
council.
A proposition to reorganize the council
called forth sharp rebuke from the chair.
Mr.. Pierson thought the council was in
good condition and needed only revival
of interest on the part of the delegates.
The proposition to introduce resolutions
condemning the action of the Fourth of
July committee was voted down.
A report was made to the effect that the
A. r. U. is increasing in membership, and
it was received with expressions of ap-
prevail.
Before adjourning Mr.. Burns called at
tention to the debate between Congress
man Mcguire and Job Hartman, to be
held in Metropolitan Temple, Sunday
night, adding that he hoped the council
and the labor unions would be well repre-
sented. The session then adjourned.
