The Council Has Acquitted Ihe Ac-
cnsed Pastor on One Charge.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.-The coun-
Gil that is sitting in judgment on the
Rev. DR.. Brown has acquitted the ac-
cused pastor on one charge. After long
debate the councilmen came to the con-
clusion that DR.. Brown was not guilty of
any immoral conduct with Mrs. NJ. A.
Stockton.
They passed their opinion on the fol-
lowing facts:
First-That Mrs. Stockton was not
woman whose testimony could be
taken for the truth.
Second-That there was no evidence
introduced that was strong enough in a
legal sense to convict the pastor.
Third-That he had shown Mrs. Stock
ton great kindness in the way that
christian minister should and that she
had taken advantage of that kindness.

Badly Frustrated.
A young man had just bought an

That evening it rained heavily. He was
going out, and did not relish the
thought of getting his new coat soaked.
On the hatrack in the front hall hung
a macintosh belonging to his brother,
and as the young mans eye fell upon it
he said to himself:
"Just the thingl John won't be go
ing out, and I'll save my new coat as
much damage as it would get in three
weeks wearing"
He slipped ON the macintosh, went
out, and on his return found his broth

RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Congress will Appropriate $1O.OOO,OOO t.
Keep Down the SnaSs.

Congress Will Appropriate $4,000, 900 to
Keep Down the Snags.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-It is ex-
pected that the river and harbor bill will
be reported to the house within afew days
The first estimate of the bill was about
$12,0O0,O00 but it is now understood
that the bill will not of itself appropriate
more than $1O,0O0,000, but will put a
large number of projects under the con-
tinuing contract system. The contract
for the Mississippi river improvement is
about to expire, and it ia quite likely to
be renewed as is that for the Missouri
river where the work is not yet COM
pleted.
Among those which will no doubt be
included in the measure are contracts for
the improvement of Boston harbor under
the plan proposed by the en-
gineers, the improvement of Du-
luth harbor, to make it available for
vessels drawing 20 feet of water at a cost
of about $500, 600; the Improvement of
the Ohio river by building at least two
locks and dams and deepening G
the channel; the improvement of the
harbor at or near Los Angeles, by au-
thorizing both San Pedro harbor and
Wilmington harbor to be deepened; the
Improvement of the YaQuima bay,
Oregon, and Gray's harbor, Washington.

Peculiar Result of an Accident From an

John Allen, farmer living in Column

weeks ago a boy in his neighborhood
about years of age stuck an orange thorn
into his hip, which inflamed until the boy
was terribly fevered and swollen from head
to foot
Finally the peculiar swelling subsided,
however, and the boy recovered. But i'm
mediately his skin began to flake off in
strips and patches, until he had as COM

cWant of Cleanliness in Old Times
A writer in a fashion journal re-
marks on the vast change that has
taken place in personal cleanliness
within the last century When ladies
wear powdered hair nowadays, and
when they make such herculean efforts
to get their hair clean again, it will
give them an idea of what their great
RTdnQHOLn0TS 10uSI nave emu uI0u WI0n
they wore their hair powdered all the
time. In fact, paint, patches and pow
dered hair were not conducive to
thorough neatness. People in the days
of powder depended more on strong
perfumes than on soap and water.
Many will recall the Well-known lines
in which Pope revenged himself on
Lady Mary Wortley Montague, who,
brilliant and intellectual as she was,
had, as has been tersely said, IAN in
adequate appreciation of clean linen" 3"
In fact, many a famous beauty of that
time was "by turns a slattern or a
belle" 1t is disenchanting to know that
the famous duchess of Devonshire was
a "dowdy in the morning, that critical
hour when a woman should be as fresh
as Venus rising from the waves" In
fact, if anyone of the masculine half of
humanity were to be suddenly trans
planted back hundred years, it is to
be feared that he would flee from the
presence of some of the last century
beauties, holding his nose.
