Brooaded Silk and High Heels Again For
Womcn-Men's Conservative Styles.
As the wheel of fashion revolves the old
styles in shoes revive, improved of course
by modern taste to make them novelty.
Drocaded silk shoes, with extremely high
heels and very large buckles, like the one
in the illustration, are coming in fashion
again. This is not delightful prospect,
for there Is nothing much more uncom-
Portable to wear and SO injurious to the
foot as the high heel. Low shoes for dane
ing come in great variety. beaded and
strapped across the instep, and black rib
bon stitched in gilt front, with patent
leather finish and gold buckle, makes a
very striking evening shoe. Steel beads
and tiny buckles on a patent leather shoe,

The Quivering Aspen.

The quivering leaves of the aspen hav,

The most common is:
That of this tree the cross was made
Which erst the Lord of glory bore,
And of that deed it's leaves confess

| of applause from the spectators. Mr.. Cor
| rigan was warmly congratulated upon the
success of his new venture. Following is a
| description Of the Australian starting ma
| chine:
| The machine consists of two bands OF
| strong webbing. each about four inches in
| width, made fast at both end to frame
which slides upwards and away from the
| horses. at an angle of 40 degrees. The
| lower band is about four feet above the
ground, the upper perhaps foot higher.
The frame TO which the webbing is al
| tached runs on a cable attached to pul-
| ley, which is about fourteen feet higher on
n post some twelve feet beyond the start
| ing post. The power to draw this barrier
is supplied by heavy elastic band.
The frame before being released upon
its flying journey, is held in position by q
trigger on both sides of the track, the con.
nection between these triggers being a
wire stretched across the track.
As soon as the horses are lined up facing
the webbing, which is, perhaps, about a
foot away, the starter pulls a level, which
releases the triggers. sends the webs flying
instantansously and noisslessly upward
and outward and the horses are off in
line.
The Pacific Coast Jockey club has un-
earthed another scheme of the down town
pool rooms to obtain results, n wire hav-
ing been surreptitiously run into the
grounds and the information telegraphed
abroad Some time ago the Jockey club
leased it's own wires from the West
ern Union company, over which the
results were sent east and had
the grounds patroled continuously by
armed police, but in spite of all their pre-
cautions the pool room men have eluded
the vigilance of the track owners by resort
ing to such methods as mentioned above.
Commencing today the officials have de-
cided to discontinue all telegrapac COM
munication until they have for, Q tho
local pool rooms to the wall. This action
shuts off all pool rooms throughout the
country from obtaining the results of the
InglesiCle races.
Starter Caldwell gave an awful exhibi-
ton of starting today, his start in the third
race nearly resulting in riot. Caldwell
gave Sir Vassar four lengths the best of the
start and left three horses. Fullerton Lass.
Daylight and Ida Sauer, standing sill at
the post The two former horses we're
heavily played. and a large crowd gathered
around the judges stand clamoring for
bets TO be declared off. The bets stood,
however. In the last race Hazard was also
left at the post, and in the first Crafty,
the favorite. was virtually left standing.
Three favorites, one second choice and
one outsider won today. Weather fine;
at endance large.

A Skating Costume

Very few Of the skating costumes
seen on the ice have any more than
fur collar around the neck. Here is a
pretty suit that came out with that
January cold snap, that froze toes and
noses 80 regardless about week ago.
1t is made of brown cloth with an
eighth inch strip of Corsicsn fox
around the bottom. On the right of
the skirt are four metal buttons simu-
lating fastening. The fur collar Isl
adorned with tails. and the astrakhan
toque has an aigrette and chou of
cherry colored saith, which gives just
the bright touch that is necessary in
winter costume. But when all is said
and done, and though one may have
the prettiest costume in the world, If
one have not grace and good health
one cannot hope to look attractive on
ekates.

TO KEEP A CANARY
1t Must Have Air, Sunshine, Cleanliness al
Care

1t Must Have Air, Sunshine, Cleanliness ali
1t is essential for the good health of
a canary bird to keep the cage per-
fectly clean and strewn with fresh
gravel. Fresh water for both drinking
and bathing should be given every
morning, and during the moulting
season bit of iron kept in the drink
ing cup is excellent. Never hang the
cage in room without fire, but on
mild days the bird will be greatly re-
freshed by the air from an open win
dow. The cage should never be less
than eight inches in diameter and
twelve in height. 1t should have
perches at different heights. The
canary, which is the usual house bird,
thrives during the winter on diet of
small brown rape seeds, obtained dur
ing the summer, and occasional slices
of sweet apple. Occasionally few
poppy or canary seeds and very little
bruised hemp seed may be added.

STRUCK BY AN ELECTRIC CAR
Serious Accident to Chief Deputy County
Clerk George Varcoe
Struck by a Car While Riding Bicycle and
Badly Hurt-The Cause of
the Accident

George Vaicoe, chief deputy in the Office
cdent last evening while on his way home,
and the fact that he was not killed out
right is little short of miraculous. AS it is,
Mr.. Varcoe gill be confined to his house
for several weeks, and may be permanently
injured.
Mr.. Varcoe left the court house on his
bicycle few minutes after 8 o'clock for
his home at No. 1888 Lovelace avenue.
Just as he turned the corner of Pico at
Flower, electric car No. % of the Pco
street line, in charge of Conductor G. P.
Brakeman (No. 412) and Motoneer ]. f.
Hicks (No. 41S) was coming east on Pico
street between Flower and Figueroa streets
A horse and carriage was also coming east
at the same time, the horse being fractions,
and shying away from the car. Mr.. Var
coe was ''green" rider, only having been
riding bicycle few weeks, and it is
control of his wheel. Just how the acci-
dent happened will probably never be
known, but it is supposed that Mr.. Varcoe
in watching the horse. lost sight of the ap.
preaching car, and swerving aside to avoid
a collision with the rig, ran across the
car, knocked from his wheel, and dragged
some distance before the car could be
| stopped.
He was finally thrown on the track di-
rectly in front of the car, but the motor
neer succeeded in stopping before he was
again struck.
Mr.. Varcoe was picked up unconscious
and taken to the sidewalk, where he re-
mained for perhaps fifteen minutes before
he was identified. SO distigured was he
about the face. When he was recognized
by friends a carriage was called and he
Loyelace avenue. Drs. Dodge, Ainsworth
and Kirkpatrick were called in and every
thing possible was done for the injured
man. An examination showed that his
injuries were of a most serious char
meter. Both ears were almost torn
sewed on. Besides the left wrist
was broken and the right wrist was very
| badly SD rained. The face was very badly
| scratched and bruised and 1t was almost
! impossible to recognize him. From the
| fact that Mr.. Varcoe remained unconscious
| it was at first feared that the skull was
fractured, but the most careful examina-
| ton failed to develop such injury.
| About midnight it was reported that Mr.
Varcoe had died from his injuries. HER
| AID reporter called at the residence and
found that such was not the case. He was
still unconscious, in fact had been SO, with
the exception of few seconds, from the
time he was struck, but those in attend
ance stated the doctors were of the opinion
that he would recover. There will be an
other consultation of the physicians this
morning, when more can be told about the
| case.
Mr.Varcoe is one of the best known men
in the county. He was chief deputy under
| Mr.. Hewitt during his term of tax collect
or, and when MIR. Newlin took charge OF
the county clerks Office he took similar
position under him. His many friends will
regret to learn of his misfortune.

The Sultan

A correspondent of the London
Standard, writing from Smyrna, says
of the eultan: HE is absolutely reck-
less as to the fate of his people or the
future of his empire. As long as he
has his Circassian girls for playthings,
his pet regiments to line the roads on
Fridays, his favorite priests to pray
with, and his court buffoons to make
merry for him-as long as his army of
spies enables him to arrest and sup
press the unruly, and his tribes of syc-
ophants are ever ready to pour honey
into his willing ears; as long as twenty
fat pashas run up the Yildiz hill be-
hind his victoria, and the gates clang
heavy behind him as he reaches the Sc
0lusion Of the harem, he is satisfied"

Store RurgIariZed

The grocery store of J. B. Terry, at 81
West Second street, was entered by bur-
glars Saturday night and $40 in cash
taken. Mr.. Terry was unable to bank the
money and concluded it was safer to leave
the money in the store than pack it home.
The burglars must have concealed them
selves in the cellar during the rush of busi-
ness in the evening and made their escape
through rear window. The matter was
reported at police headquarters, but was
not given out for publication.

to save her and was herself washed off.
When she arose to the surface the girl had
disappeared and Mrs. Reed, after hard
struggle, managed to reach the rock. The
girls body has not been recovered. al
though men are looking FOR it.. Mrs. Reed

A BISHOP APPOINTED
But as Yet the New Ognitary Is Not Posi-
lively Known

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-Pope Leo XIII
has at last named the man who is to fill
the bshopric of Sacramento, made vacant
by the death of Bishop Manogue about a
year ago. The cablegram announcing the
pope's decision, however was indefinite in
a way, and it is not yet definitely
known upon which of two priests the honor
will fall These two men are Rev. Father
Thomas Grace of the cathedral at Sacra-
mento and Rev. Father Thomas McSwee-
ney of St. Francis dc Sales church of
Oakland.
The first intimation received in this city
that the choice for the Office had been
made was in a cablegram to Rev. Father
Conway of st. Mary's hospital from Mgr.
Picks, preiate of Rome. 1t came this
morning.
