The Black Plague.

Hong Kong papers of recent date con-
tain the following information regard
ing the plague in China:
The total number of plague cases for
the year now reaches the total of 100.
The disease has happily shown no signs
of increasing, the daily average for last
week being about ten. The Sanitary
Board met on the 7th and a portion of
British Kowloon, where a few cases
have occurred, was declared an infect
ed area.
Cases of plague continue to occur at
Hong Kong at the rate of about eight
or ten day, but the disease does not
seem likely to assume any formidable
epidemic form. 1t is very bad at Canton
and also at KiungchOw, Hainan.

in their dress. This will be still fur

costumes to be worn on that auspic-

to buy an ugly dress. The materials

words you can buy at that popular

The Frog, the Fish and the Duck.

Once upon time a certain pond was
inhabited by a Frog, Fish and a Duck,
and they got along so well together that
they vowed eternal friendship and
agreed to always dwell together. This
summer came on the pond kept grow
ing smaller and smaller, and one day
the frog sharply remarked:
See here, you Fish, you are taking
up altogether too much room!"
Its you who are playing the hog!'
promptly replied the Fish.
Come, now, but you both have
bristles on your back!" put in the
Duck. But for your selfish spirits you
would get out and give me room!
Thereupon the Frog and the Fish both
turned upon the Duck and berated her
until her quacking summoned the own
er of the pond, who made inquiry as to
the trouble.
THE Ducks a hog!' shouted the
Frog.
THE Frogs liar!" shouted the
Duck.
Bounce EN- both out and give me
the puddle!" shouted the Fish.
MY friends replied the owner after
due reflection, "since there's not
enough water for all, and since I alone
have rights to the pond, will use what
is left to water my cabbagesl"

The Man Must be Guilty.

Congressman Daniels of Buffalo, for
merly a Justice of the New York Su-
preme Court, told story the other day
which shows of what strange evidence
people sometimes adopt conclusions. A
man had been convicted Of the murder
of his wife, and the case was finally
carried to the Court Of Appeals, which
reversed the decision of the lower court.
A special hearing was ordered by the
Governor. This was held at Syracuse,
and Justice Daniels was called upon to
preside. In examining the jurors one
man said that he was prejudiced in the
matter. When asked If he had CLEANED
his prejudice from the papers, or by
talking with interested parties, or by
hearsay, he replied to every question
that he didn't know a thing about the
case, but that he was, nevertheless,
prejudiced. He was excused, but Jus
tice Daniels was not satisfied, and he
sent the Sheriff and had the Juror
brought back to him. He asked him
where he had gained his prejudice.
The fellow replied: II don't know any
thing about this case, but the law
yers made such idiots of themselves in
examining the jurors that knew the
man must be guilty. Chicago Law

all the property of the city for month
beforehand, as we'll. In this city, how
ever, they have gradually encroached ON
their privilege until they begin their
racket three or four weeks before the
Fourth and keep it UP more or less day
and night, and it is doubtful If a summer
has passed for the last five years that a
fire has not occurred from this cause.
1t would seem, therefore, that If there
is no ordinance in force to protect prop
erty-owners from this danger, that one
should be passed.
Yesterdays fire was caused, it Is said,
by one of the little Chinese rockets that
rise about fifty feet and then explode,
sending out several firecrackers, which
in turn explode. Calls II and Is were
turned in simultaneously, causing con-
fusion as to where the engines should
go, but Chief Guthrie soon ascertained
which was the proper call and directed
the engines to the right locality. The
whole roof was on fire when the engines
arrived, but the flames were confined
mainly to the attic.

Attempt of George Atherton to End
His Life Yesterday.

George Atherton, young man who
recently came here from Georgetown,
Ell Dorado County. attempted suicide
early last evening by taking laudanum,
but DIR. Sutliff interfered and saved his
life.
Atherton came here ON last Satur-
day and has been boarding with a
family at 9261a Seventh street whom
he knew in FL Dorado. When he was
called for supper last evening he did
not respond, and an investigation was
made with the result that he was found
lying on his bed dressed, with an emp
ty laudanum bottle by his side
He was taken to the Receiving Hos
rital, and DR.. Sutliff attended him in
the absence of the City Physician. The
hospital was destitute of needed rem
edles, and the doctor had to go to his
Cffice after them. He succeeded, how
ever, in relieving the young man of
his dose, and late last night the pa
tent was able to enjoy a smoke
Atherton refused to give his reasons
for trying to do away with himself, but
it is said he had been drinking quite

CHIEF CONSUL" KERRIGAN.
What He is Going to Make the Railroad
Company Do.
Putting Up a Straw Dummy and
Then Punching Holes
in It.

At a meeting of the Reliance Wheel
mems Club in Oakland last Saturday
evening, one F. H. Kerrigan, Who laporS
under the 1op-heavy title OF "Chaet
Consul of the North California Division
Of the League of American Wheelmen
(perhaps including Milpitas and Rattle
snake Barr, made this statement:
THE present regulations Of the COM
pany. while they may be satisfactory to
the majority of San Francisco wheel
men. are not so to the division. Some
time ago the company made regula-
tion that all wheels carried to and from
San Francisco and interior towns within
a. certain radius should travel free, while
those transported bewteen two interior

instanca-must pay a tax Of 70 cents
LAS I said before, San Francisco wheel
men might be satisfied with this, mas
much as they have nothing to pay, but
the Northern California Division is not
run for San Francisco alone, and we are
bound to protect our interior members
from what appears TO be unjust discrim-
ination.
ION the top of this comes the rumor
that Within a short time the thousands
cf BICYCLES that travel in and out of San
Francisco weekly by train must pay just
as our interior brothers do.
This. of course, Is not TO be toler-
ated. and I do not think that it will be" !"
when A man makes false assertions
concerning matters of which he has no
knowledge. he must expect to be called
down. The following letter from Agent
Ellis Of the Southern Pacific Company
shows that Chief Consul Kerrigan was
talking through his hat" when he ad-
dressed the Reliance Club:

Of vour favor Of the 11th ult., referred

letters OF thanks be returned, with the
assurance of appreciation Of the favor,
and that it will not be abused.
Under the orders then sent out by the
company to it's agents wheelmen have
been travelling on the company's trains

charge being exacted for their wheels.

assertions have no better foundation

Arguments on the Petition to Annul

Works of San Francisco for boilers

cripples it's usefulness. 1t is about
eighteen inches long and has roller at

lessening the jolt on a sick person. 1t
