WANTED A HOTEL FOR A HOME
A Young san Francisco Million
aire,s Oher Is Refused.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
An offer was made last week to Baron
and Baroness Won Schroeder that would
have made untitled heads swim. 1t was
when Walter Hobart said he would give
$4,000 for the Hotel Rafael. What he
and his young wife had in mind was
residence in San Rafael, and they knew
of no house big enough where the trees
were grown and the lawns were thriving,
except the fashionable hotel. He was
surprised when the Won Schroeders de-
clined an offer which he considered gen
erous
The great attraction of the hotel for
the young millionaire and his younger
wife was the age of the place and the
completeness of the grounds. They have
no mind for great brown place, where
the trees are coaXed from saplings to
shade and flowers nursed to the blooming
point. They want place full grown, with
the trees as old at least as their own
ers, and everything in its prime and full
ness of bearing, The Schroeder property,
with its lanes and lawns and spreading
trees, just fitted their desires. Long be-
fore the place passed into the hands Of
its present owners 1t was the home of
Robert Watt, who brought with him form
the old country IDEAS and plans which
developed into a pastoral scene rare in
this newest of lands. There was another
and more romantic reason for the pro-
posed purchase. Much of the loYemaking
of the young couple was done in San Ra-
fael, which had been Mrs. Hobart's home
since childhood. The simple bridal took
place in the vine-wreathed cottage of the
Neils, Mrs. Hobart's grandparents, and
they, with her mother and sister, make
their home in San Rafael.
During the late rapid marrying and Civ
ing in marriage in the Hobart family it
has been a matter of speculation as to
how the family residence would be di-
vided. Gossip gave the town house to
Walter Hobart, he to buy the interest
of his fuvn sisters

Rich silver strike in Colorado.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.


Pittsburg. July 22.-When the demo-
cratic national convention adopted the
free-slver platform, J. NJ. Quincy, the
millionaire oil and gas operator, left the
Coliseum in disgust and came down nome
before the convention was oyer. Now he
has received word that he has made a
ten-strike in one of the best producing
silver mines in this country About six
months ago Mr.. Guffey, John Galley, and
A. M. Duffey secured a six months op-
ton on an undeveloped silver mine in
Colorado. The mine is situated adjacent
to the celebrated trade mine, from
which silver to the value of $36,50O was
taken last year.
The trio, having faith in their new VEN
ture put in a large force Of men, the latest
improved mining machinery, and worked
It night and day to develop its riches be-
fore their opinion would expire In this
work they expended $4,000. Their expec-
tations were more than realized, and to-
day they find themselves owners of one
Of the richest, IL not the richest silver
mines in America. They are having a
smeIter constructed which will cost $780,
900. and win work it to its fullest capac-
ity.
A New York syndicate It Is claimed,
has lately made them an Offer for the
mine, but the amount was 20O0, 600 short
OF the figures at which they hold It. viz.
SIS, 900, and 1t was declined.

DR.. Jean Martin Charcot's Marvellous
Prescription and what IL Does
for the Sick.

Dr. Jean Martin Charcot (who died IN
France. 1S9r. was the most famous phys,-
clan OF the century for nervous COM
plants. While at the head Of the great
ssItpetriere Hospital in Paris he made
careful! study and analysis or the Won
der-working Kola nut which have given
strength 10 the natives OF West Africa
for hundreds OF years. The result Of
study and practice was formula contain
ing the medical qualities OF the Kola nut
and other specifics for all nervous dis
eases Tho formula is vegetable and
harmless and has cured many thousands.
From an American physician, now fam
Gus. a student under Dr. Charcot and who
used the prescription in his own practice,
the formula was obtained by the Eureka
Chemical & Mfg. Co, for exclusive use
in the United States.

Dec. IL, 1885, and after expressing deep
gratitude and stating that the testimonial

AT the time of commencing the use Of
DR.. CharcOts Kola Nervine Tablets, last
July, l could not read, without my glass

ROOMS FULL OF CLOTHES.
Wales Pays $40 Apiece for Lounge
Suits and $3.50 for Trousers.
Fromodds and End

FromOdds and ENDS.
The Prince of Wales is by no means the
small stout man which most of his pict-
ures seem to indicate. 1t is not every man
turned 50, with a 45-inch chest, who can
boast of a waist of not more than 40 inch
es. If he occasionally appears stouter it
is because he likes his clothes to be loose
and easy.
This is especially the case with those
particular suits known as lounge suits'
For these he never, under any circum-
stances, pays more than $40. few years
ago Sir Francis Knollys, his private sec
rotary, finding that his tailors were over
charging him, fixed upon a uniform price
for each suit. They are ordered in half
dozens at a time.
There is likewise a regular and fixed
price of $3.50 for his trousers, which, I'M
der no preteXt, whatsoever, save in the
case of uniforms, is exceeded
The prince has horror Of evening dress,
which he considers hideous. He prefers
evening dress to uniforms, however, and
uses twelve suits Of these a year, at a
fixed price of $50 a suit.
The prince never wears any pair of trous-
ers more than four times, and as the
discarded clothes of royalty are not al
lowed to be appropriated by the Wallets
but are all preserved, there is a stock of
thousands of them at Marlborough house
This need surprise no one. For when
hlQ& GEORGE ~. uleQ MS NiOlIl0S were
sold by public auction, which lasted over
three weeks, there being no less than 500
fur-lined coats alone.
All the princes clothes, old and new
are kept at MARLBOROUGH house, in what
are known as the brushing rooms" sew

them.

IOWA HAS THE CHAMPION SNAKE.
Reptile Twenty-Five Feet Long
Kills Cows and Scares Posse.


From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Dubuque, Ia, Aug. IA snake twenty
five feet long and foot and half in
diameter is reported to have appeared in
Nicholas Pleinlier's pasture, ten miles
south of town, this week, and to have
terrorized the whole neighborhood. 1t
is stated that Pleinlier. on hearing a
COW believing, entered the pasture and
found what was supposed to be a, rope
coiled about its body, but on closer ap-
proach found it to be a snake. He fed
and returned later to find the cow dead
and the hair about which the snake had
been coiled pressed to the skin. Next
day he heard another COW believing, and
then third, and reached the pasture in
time to find both dead and the reptile
eating a calf. He summoned the neigh
bors with shotguns to kill the reptile,
but on viewing it from a precipice over
looking a glen, in which it was summing
ITSELF they fed. 1t is suggested that the
reptile may have escaped from a menag-
erie.

An ADMoN1rIoN TO PARrNrs-peo.

AN ADMoNITIoN TO PARENTS. -Peo-
pln living south of Wilkes street whose
children attend Washington school will
note the fact that nearly every time
that school is dismissed the pupils liv-
ing on or south OF the railroad street
repair to their homes over that
thoroughfare, and should trains be in
motion most of them are sure to jump
on for short ride. They hang on the
sides of the cars and on the pilot of the
engine. To-day about twelve o'clock
they almost took possession of a train
which was backing toward the tunnel.
There are several BOYS, each minus a
leg, now living in the First ward, and
should the practice alluded TO above be
continued the number will be increased.
The police have been instructed to be
on Wilkes street when the schools are
dismissed, but parents must do their
part also if accidents are TO be averted,
as one or two officers cannot control
forty or fifty boys.

A REQUEST REFUsED.-The authori-
ties of the Southern Railway Company
to day requested the city to take charge
of the negro tramp who was crippled
by jumping from one of their trains
near this city last night. The request
was refused on the ground that the
man was injured by the company's cars
aud that that corporation and not al.
e1andria should bear the expenses of
the man. The police of this city do all
they can to keep tramps from trains,
and when such people are hurt the tax
payers should not be saddled with the
expense of caring for him.

DEATH OF Mrs. ALLEN.-The many
friends Of Mrs. Susan Allen, wife of
Mr.. John Allen. will regret to learn of
her death which occurred at two
o'clock this morning at her residence
on south Fairfax street. The deceased
had been confined to her home for the
past six months or more, she having
been sufferer from consumption.
Mrs. Allen was an old resident of the
First ward and was one of the most
generally known. She was a kind
and sympathetic neighbor, and her
ministrations in the households of suf-
fering and bereavement are acts which
will not soon be forgotten by the many
to whom she had ministered and the
tears of others outside her own house
hold miugle with those of the bereaved
ones in the sorrow which has darken-
ed their home.
