day night, wheeling barrow. in which
Freight Clerk W. S. Smith will ride. For
some time before election there were
warm times in the depot freight Offices
and many an argument was put forth by
Elliot in support OF the champion OF free
silver at Is to 1. Smith was the princi-
pal 81 eaker on the other side. Finally
when neither would agree in an argu-
ment they began to make bluffs at bet
ting and it was decided in the presence OF
several witnesses to do no more talking
and when the people settled the question
they would fulfill the obligations OF their
wager and so Elliot wheels Smith down

Elaborate preparations are being made
for the parade which will start from the

AN EDEN FOR BLOOMERS.

San Francisco Argonaut To be rid
of her skirts and yet not outside of
propriety-that is the charm which the
bloomer costume has for the reputable
woman, particularly if she be young
and susceptible to the thrill and de-
light of rapid motion. Hence the read
mess with which feminine San Fran
cisco has discarded drapery, put Oh
trousers and mounted the bicycle. San
Francisco is in some ways favored by
being so remote from other and older
and more populous seats of civilization.
We get our fashions just as they are
going out of Paris and they are grow
ing trifie stale in New York. But,
on the other hand, we are equally late
in learning that some things which are
agreeable are not CONNIE II faut.
Boomers are far more prevalent here
than in Europe or the East-preValent,
that is, among women whose charac-
tiers are as good as their pleasure in
riding is keen, and there is no place
on earth where they are worn in such
innocency.

wrong" Violent opposition to his
wishes might drive the emperor to
tragical absurdities, and it is the
sneered at meekness Of the chancellor,
which has probably saved the empire
from many entanglements. Were Bis
marck or Caprivi still chancellor no
one can say to what extreme folly their
dominating, resolute methods might
have driven such an uncertain, OBJ
stinate man as the emperor.
Hohenlohe is at his best in his own
home. He is more of family man
than statesman. Public responsible
ties affect him deeply and his friends
say he is too conscientious. He comes
of family which has been prominent
in the affairs of the nation for eight
or nine hundred years, and it was the
glory of his ancestors more than his
own inclinations which forced him into
prominence Could he follow his own
desires he would have devoted himself
to literature and scientific study, of
which he is exceedingly fond.
The Hohenlohes trace their ancestry
back to the Duke Eberhard of Frau
cken, brother of Emperor Conrad l.,
who reigred in the tenth century

TO Be Continued.)

The engagement of. marriage be-
tween Miss Florence Pullman, daugh-
ter of George M. Pullman, and Frank
o. Lowden, lawyer, of Chicago, is an
nounced. Mr. Lowden has been well
come sutton for more than year at
the Pullman home. His proposal of
marriage met with the especial favor
of Mr.. Pullman, who is bitterly OPP
posed to the too frequent marriages of
the leading daughters of the country
into the titles of Europe. Mr.. Lowden is
absolutely an American, having been
born in the country in Iowa. His
father is a farmer and the young man
was sent to the Iowa state university
for his finishing education. He went
to Chicago some ten years ago. By
hard work and study, added to his
great natural ability, he has risen to a
position of influence among the
younger practitioners at the bar.
John Tyler, the son of the tenth
president of the United States, lies
dying in a humble home on what is
known as the island" south of the
capitol in Washington. He is u years
old, and has held various subordinate
positions in the executive departments
of the government ever since the war.
His last employment was at small
salary in the bureau of engraving and
printing. Logan Carlisle, chief clerk
of the treasury, removed him about
two years ago, because his place was
wanted for a southern democrat, and
the old man has since been an object
of charity.

immediate predecessors, Bismarck and
Caprivi, the result has never been
favorable to the present chancellor.
But nine hundred and ninety-nine men
out of every thousand would suffer by
such comparison.
There is no doubt that Hohenlohe
has been cast into the shade by the
greatness of Bismarck and the sentt
mental fondnesS of the Germans for
the man of blood and iron has worked
to the detriment of the man chosen by
the emperor to aid him in guiding the
affairs of the empire. But Bismarck
and Caprivi made their great reputa
lions when less eccentric emperors
were On the throne. They both gave
up the position in disgust when forced
to combat the will-o' thewisp desires
of Emperor William. HohenlOhe has
hung on, doing the best he could under
diverse circumstances, and with little
IL no love of the job. 1t will occasion
no surprise when he resigns.
AS it is, there is no prospect of Ho-
henlohe staying long in the chancellor S
seat, as the emperor will dispose of
him as soon as he has gained from
the Catholics what he hoped to when
he propitiated them by making Hohen

SECRET IN CHURNING.

There is no make Of churn that gran
ulates butter better than another, if
we discard the dash churn. The only
secret in the matter is to stop the
churn at the right stage, and add the
water, so as to harden these little gran
ulates of fat and give the fluids free
exit from the churn. In hot weather
the granulation of butter is all the
more important, as there is the greater
need of getting the buttermilk out OF
the mass. Summer butter wants to be
churned as cool as possible, and it is
here that the owners of separators
have the advantage, that they can
cream the fresh drawn milk down to
thirty-three per cent. of actual fat,
and churn cream extensively at fifty
two degrees, which is the actual crys-
tallizing stage of butter, and get sep
arators with little or no washing

lobe chancellor just at the time when
the support of the Catholics was so
much desired by the conservatives to
pass the Umsturzgesetz.
1t was thought that Caprivi was sent
away because he was hostile to the
UmsturZgesetz and to Count Kanitz' S
grain monopoly plan. However, the
emperor, who at first talked a great
deal about helping the poor, impov-
erished landed proprietors of Count
KanitZ's stamp by supporting the
scheme for putting all the grain in
Germany into the hands ofthe govern
ment and fixing normal price, has
suddenly veered around and declared
himself against the Agrarians, quite in
accordance with the sentiments Of the
banished Caprivi. What, in the light
if this, could have been the reason for
Caprivi's departure and Hohenlohe's
arrival, if not for the furtherance Of
the Umstu zresetz, which Caprivi OPP
posed, and Hohenlohe's adherents, the
Catholics, were willing to support if
A popular pen picture was made OF
Hohenlohe when he first took his seat
as chancellor in the reichstag, and it
ran in this way.

president sits the new chancellor Of

cessor of Bismarck and Caprivi. Like

Hamlet's mother, one might find it in
ture and then on this. There is moth
ing in the appearance of this little
insignificant man TO mark him as the
follower of such giants as were his pre-
decessors. He is a very little old man,
whose bent, gray head reaches scarcely
to the shoulder of medium sized men.
That alone would not be enough to
condemn him, of course, but his face
bears out the impression Of exhausted
vitality which his figure suggests.
There is in it no life, no fire, not a
spark of animation, only inexpressible
weakness and WEAKNESS, such look as
one sees on the faces Of men who have
had their day and are waiting only
for the evening. A man with face
like that can be no formidable check
to a young sovereign very much alive,
as is the emperor of the Germans"
But while Hohenlohe has not en-
deared himself to the masses, he is
> thought very highly of by the conser-
vative, intelligent people. He is re-
garded as a safe man, whose passive
ness is largely prompted by shrewd-
ness. To guide the emperor is a more
difficult task than guiding the nation
and Hohenlohe has devoted himself to
the former. 1t is thankless work, the
handling OF a man who unreservedly
believes that the king can do nc

SAN FRANCISCO HAS A BOOM.

In no vocation has there been q
more rapid advance than in medicine,
during the last half century, and it is
significant that the major part of this
advance has been due, not to the OBJ
servation and experience of the routine
practitioner, but to the researches of
scientific men who have been sneered
at as theorists and who have brought
to bear on their professional work the
results of scholastic training entirely
foreign to the scope of instruction in
medical schools a generation ago.
What, for example, could seem farther
removed from the domain of practical
surgery than the investigation of lit
tie moving plants that are found in
decomposing animal and vegetable
matter? Yet the study of the habits
of growth of these mic1 oscopic weeds,
of the soils on which they thrive. and
the poisons which prevent their devel-
opment, has revolutioniZed surgery,
and has almost baEished from the
operating room the fear of suppura-
ton, of gargrene, of erysipelas, and
recognition of the role of vegetable
germs in the production of these I'M
toward results of surgical interference,
and the development of antiseptic
methods of surgery, have rendered it
possible to operate on the brain,
spinal-cord, stomach, intestine, and
other abdominal and pelvic viscera,
ago the best medical and surgical
skill of the country could not save the
lamented Garfield from death by
blood poisoning. Today the most IN
pretending surgeon, treating the poor
est laborer, would be severely con-
demned, if not actually accounted
guilty of malpractice, If he used the
same methods. Thousands of women
who would have been doomed to
chronic invalAism a generation ago
are now restored to health by opera
tons attended by an average NOR
tality of about two per cent; whereas
! the same operations undertaken with
out antiseptic precautions would re-
| suit in the death of nine-tenths of the
victims. Thanks to the enforcement
of rules of health, based on the same
study of bacteriolOgy, we no longer
witness the devastation of such cpl
denies as were common even ten
years ago, while for the first time in
medical history cholera has been
checked in it's onward march to the
west.-A. L. Benedict, in Lippincotts.
