THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. u 1896
Something Wrong.

While Colonel Powell was explor-
ing the canyons of the Colorado his
camp was visited one day in winter
by an Indian hunter and trader
named Johnson He had no fixed
home, but informed Colonel Powell
that he intended the next spring to
plant corn, potatoes and other vege-
tables on a certain long island in the
Uinta river.
You will be along there in the
summer, he said to Colonel Powell.
Stop and help yourselves to any
thing you wish. .
True enough, on one of the early
days of July the Powell party came
to the island and on looking about
came upon a garden. 1t was IN a
sad condition, having received no
care since it was planted The sea
son was early, moreover but one of
the men suggested that potato tops
were good greens, and in their
strong desire for something to vary
their salt meat fare they gathered
quantity and cooked them for din
ner.
Soon afterward one man and then
another was taken with nausea, VIC
lent pains and other symptoms of
poisoning till the whole company
lay tumbling about the ground
grooming. Colonel Powell was real
ly alarmed and administered emet-
les to as many as would take them.
By the middle of the afternoon all
hands were much better. Then, as
Colonel Powell says, Jack Sumner
recorded in his diary:
Potato tops are not good greens
on the 9th day of July. Youths

An Old Landmark In Ashes

"Uncle Toms Cabin" for more than forty
years famous house out on the San Bruno
road, was burned Friday morning. In
early days the place was known as the "star
and Carter" and was much patronized by per.
sons travelling between this City and San Jose
and other points south. Later it passed into
the hands of a negro and was then given the
name of "Uncle Toms Cabin" 1t has changed
hands many times since then. but the name
mas always clung to 1t. OF late years it has
been q popular Sunday resort for San Fran
cisco people. AMI altogether was probably the
best known read house in the State. Thomas
kink, the present lessee of the place, with his
wife ana two children. were asleep in the house
when The fire broke out They barely escaped
with their lives. The fire is believed to have
been caused by defective flue in the kitchen.

REVIEWED BY MR.. HOBART.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 3L-What un-
doubtedly goes on record as the greatest
political parade in the history of this
country was finished at $3.50 tonight, at
which hour the last of the paraders in the
great demonstration in honor of McKin-
ley ana Hobart passed the reviewing
stand at Madison square. One hundred
t ousand men marched in line.
Presidential Candidate Hobart,
Governor Morton, m embers of the Repub-
lican National Committee and others
Looked upon the scene from the reviewing
stand all day, and rybody, incl uding
nearly SOC, 900 onlookers, were unanimous
in declaring that such a spectacle as was
. presented in to-day's parade had o par.
ailel in American history.
1t was 10:55 A. NJ. when the head of the
parade reached The revie ing stand, and
looking down Fifth avenue in the di-
rection from which the paraders came, the
line of vision showed only a vast sea OF
undulating American flags. As the dlvi-
sions swept closer to the stand the cries
OF the men and the enliveuing tunes OF
the bands aroused the enthusiasm OF
those gathered in the big square
General Horace Porter remarked at the
conclusion that the work was worthy OF
trained soldiers. II was the result, he de-
clared. simply of intelligence. The men
passed the reviewing stand at a rapid gait.
and had the marching order of a regular
military company been maintained it
would have required twice the length of
time for the parade to have passed given
