STORMS IN TIE SIERRA.
Thunder, Lightning and Rain Cause an

Thunder, lightning and Rain Cause an
Exodus of Campers.
SUMMIT, CAL, Sept. g. One of the
fercest storms in years has prevailed in
this vicinity during the past two days.
Considering the season, its coming was
remarkable. Rain has fallen in torrents
at close intervals. followed by a most
beautiful electrical display. The noun
tains, as Jar as the eye could see, have
been lighted up, the deep CANYONS re-
sem bling seas OF fire, while the thunder
echoes were enough to brighten the
bravest. A telegraph operator at Cascade
was this afternoon knocked from his chair
and severely burned by lightning striking
a switch board, which rebounded, striking
him full in the face.
Old mountaineers progn osticate an early
and severe winter. Sam Jacobs, a veteran
Western Union Hneman, who has made
this place his home for more than a score
of years, said to-day: Il know this noun
tain as well as any living man, and if
snow is not piled mountains high before
the new year then | am willing TO take a
back seat as weather prophet. This
lightning and thunder mean something.
and that something is genuine Sierra
winter
The scattering which the storm caused
among tourists camped herea bouts was
general. Rain soaked through canvas
tents, drenching the inmates, baggage.
provisions and all. Those who were ex-
periencing their first pleasures of noun
tain life were frightened almost to death
by the electrical display.

TIBURON, CAL, Sept. 6.-More than
5000 people attended the clambake to-day
The affair was a gastronomic success.
Every one had all he wanted to eat and
thoroughly enjoyed what he got. The
balloon did not go up, but the people did
not care aboat looking into the heavens.
The baking pits sufficed.
George Crowell, who supervised the bak-
ing of the clans and the preparing of the
chicken and corn, displayed an art seldom
excelled in his particular line. Something
over 200 bucketfuls Of CLANS were served,
besides 1000 heads of corn, 1900 pieces of
chicken wrapped in cheese cloth a-la-ta-
male form, and 200 loaves of bread were
buttered.
The railroad company ran four extra
boats from San Francisco aud one extra
train from San Rafael. The Sausaiito
band, consisting of fifteen pieces, under
Leader Cramer, began playing at IL
O'Clock. simultaneously Thomas Mitch
ell, assisted by fourteen men, commenced
the distribution of the edibles. By 2
O'Clock the pits were emptied and every
body was thoroughly satisfied. Tooth
picks were then at a premium and the
remainder of the afternoon was devoted
to retrospection and to witnessing the
games.
The tug-of-war prize of SIS was contested
for by the Tiburon and Petaluma teams,
each consisting of nine men. After pro-
longed strain Of twenty minutes the battle
was won by the Tiburous
The teams were manned as follows:

One of the most interesting and thrill

Rheumatism is a condition of the
blood which has always baf1ed the
doctors, and it is a popularity that
those who once have it are sure to al
ways be subject to it's attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.

MIR, BRYAN,s CHICAGO SPEECH.

Mr.. Bryan's closing remarks
in Chicago, which attracted SO
much attention because of their
reference to the crown of thorns
and to the crucifxion, were no
doubt, as his opponents say,
used by him before he used them
at Chicago. His use of them
there shows that he did not,
when he arose to speak, have a
full outline of his intended re-
marks, but purpose to make a
speech, half new and half old,
or perhaps, just such a one as he
could make without notice,
whenever called upon. If he had
had in mind just what he intend
ed to say, the speech would have
been anew one. As it was, it was
made off hand, and ought to be
read as having been SO made
He had right to use it when
ever he chose. But he will never
use it again, of course.
Hereafter Mr.. Bryan will bt
more particular as to what parts
if any, of his old speeches he Cal
draw upon without subjectine
himself to the charge Of using
his old speeches as substantially
new ones. He needs no old ma
terial, but if. nevertheless, b,
shall use any such material tn,
most gifted speakers will be tn
first to accord to him the RICH
to employ his old speeches
whenever ard wherever they MAJ
suit his purposes. ~

AN ADVANCE IN CIVILIZATION.

The CORRESPONDENCE between
the governments Of the United
States and Great Britain looking
to the negotiation of a treaty Of
arbitration, for the peaceful ad-
justment of the international dis~
putes, has been made public SIM
ultaneous,y both at Washington
and London. Though it has not
yet reached a conclusion, it
manifests a spirit of mutual ac~
commodation as we'll as of eau
ton that gives promise of results
of the highest Importance to the
whole civilized world.
The speech of Lord Salisbury
in presenting the correspondence
to Parliament is in itself a re-
markable expression of breads
minded craftsmanship, the more
remarkable when we recall the
irritation caused by the corres~
pondence which preceded this.
No doubt the expression of pubs
lie sentiment upon both sides
that followed the Venezuela in~
cicent has had it's effect upon the
official attitude. Our own govern
ment could ask no more gener>
Gus acknowledgement of its sub
stantial right, both in its general
contention for the principle of
arbitration and its friendly soli>
citude in behalf of a weak neigh>
Dor, than Lord Salisbury now
freely accords.
The enormous difficulty of
drawing such a treaty as is pros
posed, so as to make it really eff
fective without an impossible
surrender of sovereignty, is fully
appreciated on both sides. It is
a new undertaking in the history
of great nations. But if, as
is believed, both nations
or the best part of them
sincerely desire such a pacific
compact, it can and will be &C
complish, to the honor of both
and to the incalculable benefit OF
civilization.

ishing proportions. This is the
business Of furnishing newspaper
clippings to individuals, firms and

dozen OF these concerns in New

parts of the world. One Of these
newspaper clipping bureaus received
an order the other day from the
Hawaiian government to send Presi-

the labor of half a dozen bright young
women to Gull the clippings from tho
newspapers to fill this order. Every
prominent author, actor, politician
and professional man Is now a sub

system very convenient, for he Is

That belief the Chinese have In

leving that the uncanny goblet had

Not no long ago the skull Of .

where supcrstitious people, within
