TWO FIRE ALARMS.

This morning at 5:l2 o'clock, the fire
department was called to a fire at the
corner of Perez and F'rio streets, from
box %. Companies Nos. LIZ and 4 re-
sponded. The fire was in the top floor
of two-story frame building, former
ly a store, owned by Mrs. Julia a.
Further, and occupied by a gentleman
named Miller and his daughter. The
inside of the building was pretty sew
erely damaged, though the main part
of the structure was saved by the fire
men.
The cause of the fire was from the
explosion of a gasoline stove while
Mr.. Miller was lighting it in prepare
ton for breakfast.H His damage to fur
niture and effects could not be learned.
He had no insurance. The building, 1t
is said, was insured in local COM
pany for $1,000, which fully covers
the loss.
At 9:45 O'clock this morning the de-
partment was again called by an
alarm from box Alb, corner Pinto and
West Commerce streets, to extinguish
n chimney blaze in one-story frame
cottage on Monterey street, Prospect
Hill, occupied by Mr.. Hinton and

A STRANGE PEOPLE.
Bureau of American Ethnology Sends
Expeditions to Serilapd.

Bureau of American Ethnology Sends
Expeditions to Seriland.
During the last two years expeditions
sent out by the bureau of American
ethnology have collected many interest
ing facts about the Seri Indians, who
live in the western part of the state of
Sonora, Mes' dong the shore of the
Gulf Of ..fornia and on the island
of Thu on in that gulf. The facts have
recently been summarized by Prof. w,
j.. MCGEE. of Washington. From time
immemorial Seriland has remained
practically unexplored, partly because
it lies beyond a desert barrier, and
partly on account of the warlike reputa-
ton of its fierce and bloodthirsty inhab-
itants, who profess passion for alien
blood, always gratified, save when they
are deferred by fear" The Seri In
dams are described as of superb ply
sique, able to run down feet game and
capture half-wild Mexican horses with
out ropes or projectiles; able to run
across the desert, waterless and food
less, 50 rapidly as to escape pursuing
horsemen; able to abstain from food
and water for days; able habitually to
pass barefoot through cactus and over
jagged rock slopes without thought of
discomfort" sgney speak distinct
language, and strictly practice monoga-
nous marriage. Their hatred for alien
peoples is hereditary. The remains of
ancient ruins in Seriland indicate that
its inhabitants have always kept their
country free from foreign invasion, and
that for centuries their customs and
arts, which are crude and simple, have
remained unchanged

They wear Paste Gems.

A curious fact concerning the festiy-
tiles over the coronation of the car as
the enormous impetus it has given to
the manufacture of paste gems. Rus
slams, it appears, even of rank and
status, are prone to the weak
ness known as kleptomania, and
wise women prepared for pos
sible loss by substituting sham jew
els for real. A pageant and display
such as has been described must inev-
itably call for the wearing of such gems
as are seldom seen. 1t is rather anus
ing to learn that much of the splendor
is pretense, and that, too, because the
grand danes do not dare trust their
treasures in crush, even though the
crowd is composed of their own kind.
Among the Muscovites, however, the sin
is said to be held trifiing one, and the
story Is told that one lady of high rank
was caught appropriating her cousins
emeralds, and that victim declined to
prosecute, merely saying: Poor So
phiel 1t is very painful and nervous
disorder"

Permanent Chairman Harris.

CHICAGO, June 30.-The Record
today prints the following: Sena-
tor Isham g. Harris, of Tennessee,
the chairman of the democratic
bimetaliic national committee,
will probably be the permanent
chairman of the democratic ma
tional convention. This Is a part
of the program Of the silver men
which contem plates the removal
of the democratic headquarters to
Chicago and the election OF Sena.
tor Jones, of Arkansas, as the
national chairman to succeed Will
liam F. Harrity. The removal Of
the natioal headquarters to Chica-
60, the silver men declare, will
certainly be accomplished. They
say that as Illinois will be the
battle ground it is necessary that
the directors of the fight should be
on the scene.
Senator Frederick Dobois, per-
sonal representative Of Senator
Henry NJ. Teller, reached Chicago
last evening and registered at the
Great Northern hotel. AS soon as
his valise had been taken to his
room he hurried to the Sherman
house and there met Judge Nc.
Connell. After a short converse
ton in the Office Senator Dobois
and Judge Nc Connell went up
stairs and Senator Teller's cam

Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn. candi-
date of the Kentucky democracy for the
presidency of the United States, is a
Kentuckian of Kaleidoscope color.
Chivalrous, bold, keen-witted, gentle,
forbearing, he is the material out of
which a thousand anecdotes have been
wrought. Not all of them are Black
burnian, but they wear well and his ro-
mantle name carries them bravely. He
is a native son of Kentucky, and the
mention of his name calls up visions of
rolling blue grass country, soft hats,
broad accent, bourbon, and the finest
stock farms in the world. His father
was breeder of thoroughbreds, but
Joseph took to the law. He spent two
years in Chicago and returned to the
south in 1860. How he was an elector
on the Breckenridge and Lane ticket,
joined the army, went to Arkansas and
planted cotton, returned to his home
and became legislator, went to con-
