From Rubber Overshoes.

Don't throw away your worn-out
rubbers. A strip cut from one OF them
and wound around a penholder will
relieve writer's cramp.
Narrow strips nailed on the door
casing will prevent many nerve
wrecking slam, or they will do as
weather strips.
Sharp ends OF rockers do no harm
with al tip Of dark rubber, and heavy
picture frames do not mar the walls
with a fold of the same rubber shoe
tackled on the edge which touches the
wall.
Neat waterproof mats on which to
set flower vases are made with pinked
edges.
Knee protectors for the small boy
may be made from an old pair of rub
bers. and seryiceable sponge-holderi
for the bathroom are also made from
these discarded shoes.
When cold weather makes iron dan
gerous to touch. the iron pump-handl,
may have rubber holder attached
and the kitchen cookbook may hav,
corners for the binding made from tn
same.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

The various State Conventions OF all
political parties will during the coming
Summer nominate Presidential Electors.
The number OF electors chosen by each
State equals the number Of members it
sends to Congress. The ratio Of repre-
sentstion In the House under the sppor-
tionment made by the eleventh census Is
one to every 173, 301 in State, which gives
total Of 357 representatives. There are
80 Senators. This makes the total repre-
sentstion in both branches of Congress
447, and the electoral college will therefore
be composed Of 447 members. The sp-
pended table shows the vote which each
State will be entitled to in the choice for

A Dog is Not a Package.

The Berlin courts have just decided
an interesting question relating to the
status of dogs. A cabman having de-
nianded twenty-five pfennigs from one
of his fares, who was accompanied by
his dog, on the ground that that was
the customary charge for package,
the indignant fare naturally resented
such an insult to his companion, paid
under protest and brought an action
against the driver in the law courts.
The first court took the cabby's view
Of the canine species, but the plaintiff
carried the case to higher tribunal
Again the decision went against him,
and again he appealed. At length, in
the Court of Third Instance, he has
found both wisdom and justice. An
animal which moves of itself" observes
the court judiciously in its Judgment,
.'is not a package" The dog has there
fore been honorably rehabilitated, and
the driver has had to pay fine OF one
rnark for exceeding his rights.--West-

1t is more than likely that Chief of

the City Trustees revoke the license
held by Mrs. Coady for dispensing
liquor at her Front-street hotel. The
place is becoming notorious for disturb

About o'clock yesterday morning
there was a spirited riot in the bar

Tom Bolan are nursing bruised and

ADAM BERGMAN SANDBAGGED
MurderOuSIy Attacked by FOOtpadS in
Capitol Park Last Evening.
First Struck With Sand-Club, and
Then knitted While Defend
ing Himself

Ali at once, after a long period OF
comparative immunity from deeds OF
violence, there appears to have de-
scended upon the city gang of foot
pads and highwaymen who evidently
think they have struck "a soft snap"
Elsewhere is given an account of no
less than five highway robberies COM
mitted In one locality within the city
in the twenty-four hours between dusk
on Tuesday evening and the same time
last evening. To these are to be added
case of murderous assault made upon
well-known young man last evening
in the very heart of the city, by two
thugs.
It was about quarter before Z o'clock
that Adam Bergman of 700 L street en-
tered Capitol Park at the Twelfth
street entrance on l. street. 1t was
quite dark, but he noticed two men
standing by the walk just as he en-
tered the park.
As he passed them one struck him
blow with a sand-club, but it did not
have the effect expected, for Bergman
rallied quickly and sprang for his as
sailant He caught him by the collar
with one hand and struck him power
ful blow with the other, and was pre-
pairing to make a gallant fight for his
life, when the footpad flashed a knife
before his eyes and struck at him.
What followed, Bergman is unable to
relate. but he was probably felled by
the other footpad. He was, at all
events, knocked ins ansible, and then
his assailants left him and ran away
When Bergman returned to con-
sciousness he found a long but shallow
cut on one of his forearms made by the
fcotpad's knife. The wound is not
dangerous, but had it not been that he
so ably defended himself the weapon
might have reached his body and in
fiicted a fatal wound.
He was seen at a late hour last night,
and was suffering severely from the
blows of his would-be assassin's sand
clubs.
OF course robbery was their object,
but fearing that they had killed their
victim they did not stop to plunder him.

lively on Third street. near ], yesterday
afternoon by engaging in an animated

Flint, it appears, had some grievance
against McC1atchy, for as they walked

an epithet to McClatchy, and then the
fun commenced
Flint was knocked down, but refused
to withdraw his offending remark, and
when he got upon his feet the fight was
renewed. The newspaper mans ath-
letic club experience came in quite
handy, for when the battle was called
off it was apparent that Flint had got

Rain is Falling Again, With Low
Barometer.
Just when everyone was congratulate
ing his neighbor on the prospect of a
season of pleasant weather, the storm
has broken out again. Rain began to
fall about 8 o'clock last night, and was
stlll coming down at 2 o'clock this morn
ing-not heavily, but quite steadily
The barometer fell from 1920 ito 30.04
yesterday, and it does not look as If
there is to be an imms msdiate let-up to
the storm.
The river at a. m. yesterday stood at
% feet 2 inches; at IL, noon, 1T stood at
q feet inches, ana at o'clock last
evening 1T stood at % feet inches,
showing rise of four inches in eight
hours or at the rate of half an inch an
hour. No doubt to-day will show a, de-
cline from the above, as the effects of
last nights storm will not be apparent
before tomorrow.
Rain was falling last night as far
east as Emigrant Gap, beyond which
point ON the Sierra Nevada it was snow
ing.
The water north Of Marysville, which
has interfered with railroad travel for
several days, was falling yesterday, and
1t was expected that the south-boulId
train from Oregon this morning would
ccme that way. The renewal of the
storm, however, will doubtless cause
trains to and from Portland to run by
way of Davisville and Willows.
The water in the Yolo Basin Is rising
gradually and is now well up near the
top of the railroad grade between here
and Swingle Station.
The Weather Bureau reports show the
highest and lowest temperatures yes
terday to have been 50 degrees and Al
degrees. with gentle southerly winds
and partly cloudy weather prevailing.
The barometrica4 readings at a. m
and p m. were 1920 and 1904 inches
respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 81 degrees
and 45 degrees, with "a of an inch Of
rain, and one year ago to-day 81 de-
grees and 3S degrees, with 20 of an inch
of rain, which was the last of that
