Wariike indisns In California.

An island in the Gulf of California
Is inhabited by queer human beings.
The Ceris without doubt are one of
the most interesting tribes of aborig
ines to be found on this hemisphere.
They are said to have fair skins and
blue eyes and bear no resemblance
whatever to tho Indian tribes Of the
mainland or of the peninsula. In for
mer days they made ihcursions upon
the mainland, spreading havoc along
the coast, but in later years they have
kept closely TO their island home. They
are extremely fierce and warlike and
use venomed arrows in fighting. The
island is known to be very mountain
Gus, with inLumerable rugged canyons
and gorges, where the Indians ambush,
and which renders subduing them al
most an impossibility. Beyond the fact
Of the existence of the Ceris tribe very
little Is known. Their habits and lam
guage are said to be peculiar to them
selves, while their originis q subject Of
conjecture. The island shows no sign
of vegetation from the gulf and their
method of gaining a subsistence is un-
known. Skippers cruising In those
waters carefully avoid tkIs island peo-
pied with blue eyed sayages, and it's rag
ged outlines which loom up in the gulf
are shrouded in mystery.-Oakland

OF President Davis cabinet alive, and
that is John H. Reagan. .t
Senator Proctor, of Vermont, is

THE UGLY GIRLS INNING.
She Is Right Mt Home In the Poste
Effects.


Emects.
The girl who is distinctly ugly is
having a lovely time, for fashion has
at last come her way, thanks to Aubrey
Beardsley and to the poster craze. 1t
is only imperative that a girl should
have individuality and be interesting;
then the homelier she is, the better. In
deed, the merely pretty girls are in
despair, because such a one simply
ruins her effect if she attempts the gro
tesque in dress or hat or headwear-
while the ugly girl is instantly rendered
distinctive by such piece of audacity,
and to be distinctive-abovea all, to be
audaciously distinctive-is in these days
to be a belle. The girl who dares and
whose triumphant ugliness permits her
to rear upon the sable abandonment OF
her tresses q nodding plume, set glori-
ously awry, is the girl who is just now
in the swim. Or, if she prefers tc ac-
complish the trick with bows rather
/ than plumes, then here is a model:
Made of brocaded black felt and che
mile, with n wide poke front to the brim
that narrows toward the back, this hats
low crown is encircled with small ro-
settes of black satin ribbon, striped in
three rows OF velvet at each edge. In
front three loops rise and are held in
place by fancy buckle. At each side
of the back three small loops are placed
and from these start two ribbons that
form the tie strings, which must be
wide and long. If the bows at neck
and upon the hat are purposely set
askew the effect is intensified, but this
iS not al HnSiralIa
The effect of this freakish develop
ment isn't felt alone in headgear. The
woman whose shoulders are actually
bony, who can wear a pumpkin-seed
color gown, bare her shoulders, let her
hair hang down over her ears SO the
tips of them show at the back, then put
q long trail of scarlet flowers in the
curved ear-loch, sit with her back
queerly bent and look as il she were
rll right, whether you like her or not.
she is the girl the men are looking at
just now. You poor, little pink and
white girl with golden hair and pret-
ty Pout would De simply lost in such
rig. To be triumphantly ugly and to
look as if you liked it, that is the secret,
and, to tell the truth, the belle of last
season and the type of girl who for
years and years has been the belle and
who expected, of course, to be the belle
now, this is the girl who is tearing out
her rhair.-Washington Post

"The greatest epicures in the matter
of oysters that | ever knew of, said
Jack, the oystcrman, ARE n couple OF
eats, pets about the house here. They're
pLssionately fond of oysters, and
guess each one of them could eat
couple of dozen Il day if they got the
chance. y peculiar thing about them
is that they wouldn't think of eating
an oyster unless they got it on the half
shell. 1 might offer them hundred
sheued in n dish, but they'd turn up
their noses and walk away. It's funny,
but here's another thing that shows the
sagacity of an oyster-eating cat; and
cats, by the way, when they take TO
oysters at all, simply go wild over them.
y friend of miEe has young Maltese
cat that eats oysters like n fiend. Once
a week the family has oysters, and that
eat seems 10 know just when the oy-
sters are coming, for il goes across the
street to the market and watches for
the ovsterman to start out with the
oysters for its masters house. Then
the eat runs along after him, jumping
up at the kettle and going through all
sorts of crazy antics until the house
is reached. The servant girl has to
give the cat II dozen or more oysters
before il is satisfied" - Philadelphia

An Address from Chairman Mott-Adviseo
to Push the Work of Organization.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The national
silver party, through its chairman, ];
]. Mott, yesterday issued from its
headquarters in this city an address to
the friends of silver. This address re-
cites that since the founding of the ma
tional silver party, on January % last,
the work of organization has been
steadily but quietly pursued and the
country aroused to a pitch of excite.
ment unknown since the civil war. 1t
declares the secret of success in the
pending conflict consists in lining up
for the battle and that the convention
of the party, to be held in St Louis
July 22, will undoubtedly be one Of
the most importantc conventions and no.
table gatherings ever assembled in this
country. Upon the wisdom of its acts
and that of the peoples party conven-
ton, to be held at the same place and
time, depends, the address declares,
''the vital question as to whether we
can have a just settlement of this
money issue in our generation" The
friends of the party are urged to push
the work of organization with all
possible vigor. the purpose being to
unite for action all believers in the
restoration of free silver and pros.

BELASCO VERSUS FAIRBANK
Trainer of star Actresses Keeps After the
Chicago Millionaire

New York, June 3.-In the supreme
court today, jury was empanelled for
the trial of the suit of David Belasco
against T. K. Fairbank of Chicago.
Belasco claims that> the western mill
iionaire owes him $65, 900 for his services
and expenses, in training Mrs. Leslie
Carter for the stage, which, he alleges,
occupied his entire time from July, 1889,
to November, 1890. Counsel for Belasco
in stating his case said that Mr.. Fair
bank had agreed to pay the plaintiff
whatever was reasonable, and counsel
held that the claim for s65, 900, which in
cluded sundry items of travelling and
other expenses incident to the business
between Fairbank, Belasco and Mrs.
Carter, is within that designation. Mrs.
Carter was trained by Belasco for
twenty-five parts in plays by Shake
speare, Mrs. Wood, Sardou and Gill
bert. Fairbank, in his answer, alleges
that in the spring Of 1891 Belasco re-
leased and discharged him of all GLAZING
arising out of the first professional tour
of Mrs. Carter. The defendant also al
leges that between July 1, 1889, and
November /. 1890. he loaned Belasco
10000, which the latter promised to re-
pay, and that subsequently, to the date
last given he made further loans to the
plaintiff aggregating s20,S60 none of
which had been repaid and which, with
the SO, 900 first specified, he enters as a
counter-claim, asking that Beiasco's
suit be dismissed and that he be giveh
