accordingly went to the Wormwood

his wife away.
The receipt of the news of the decis-

Mr.. Castle and had the effect of trans

FIFTY PER CENT. INCREASE.
Los Angeles Express: 1t will doubt
less surprise some of the readers of the
Express" to be told that the Repub
lican vote in Los Angeles County last
Tuesday showed the enormous increase
of over 80 per cent. over the vote of
1894, but such is the fact Mr.. Estee
received II ,255 votes for Governor, 80
per cent. of which is 562S. Adding this
30 per cent to Mr. Estee's vote would
give 1858. Major Mckinley on No
vember Sd received in Los Angeles
County 1881, an increase of 5.676 over
Mr.. Estee's vote.
INGRATITUDE.
Los Angeles Express: Already among
the lamentations and jeremiads come
the melancholy regrets of the Demo-
cratic leaders over having formed any
alliance with the Populists. Some of
the most prominent leaders declare
that it was the Populist party that
weighed Bryan down and brought
about his defeat. They claim that had
the Democrats stood upon their own
ground they could have done much
better, and even if defeated they could
have had the satisfaction of knowing
that they were not contaminated with
what they now think is the lasting eff
fects of fusion. We think that these
Democrats are very ungrateful and un
charitable to abuse the animal that
they tried to ride into office. AS a mat
ter of fact, as culpable as the Populsts
are on account OF their weird and gro
tcsque theories, they were less to blame
for the overthrow than the Democrats
themselves. The Chicago platform
outdid the Populists. 1t saw them and
went them several better.
FALSELY REPRESENTED
Santa Cruz Sentinel: California is in
favor of bimetallism, gold and silver.
1t was at the dates of the National
Conventions. 1t is now. The press.
with few exceptions, had so spoken all
over the State. The Democratic news
papers and the Democratic Populistic
orators, whether on the stump or on
the street corners, would have it that
the RepuDilcdnS We're IN favor OF gold
alone, and apparently the Republicans
were forced to make the fight on these
lines, certainly erroneous end unfor-
tunate ones. The result is before us.
While we were bimetallists we were
made to appear to be gold monomet-
alIists, and for the first time in the
history of Santa Cruz since 1860 this
county has gone against the Repub-
!icans for President.

A story at the expense of Sir William
Harcourt is worth repeating. Before his
recent departure for the continent the
ex-chancellor of the exchequer spent
some time ut the seaside, and on one oc-
casion visited man-of war lying on the
Hampshire coast.
After dinner, the weather proving
rather rough, the captain, an unusually
small and dapper man, suggested that
Sir William should sleep on board, and
thoughtfully surrendered his own berth
for the night to his distinguished guest.
Next morning, at the early hour when
the captain usually rose, the latter's
sailor servant, who knew nothing of the
change Of berths, brought cup Of coffee
to the cabin door and knocked once
or twice without receiving an answer
Somewhat alarmed, the servant popped
in his head and asked:
"Don't you want your coffee this
morning, sirf"
The only reply was in the nature of a
growl, and the terrified sailor beheld a
gigantic figure turning over under the
bedclothes. Dropping the cup of coffee,
the faithful servant rushed to the ships

"For goodness sake, sir, come to the
captain at once. He's speechless, and

In the cucumber sponge (Euplec.
tella cucumber) we have a specimen OF
ono which lies upon the mud after the
manner Of its namesake, which it some
what resembles. Perhaps, however, the
most beautiful of all these silicious
spongos is Euplectella aspergillum, or,
as it Is commonly called. Venus flow
er basket. 1t is like beautiful horn
of CLASSY iibers or graceful bouquet
holder. The first specimen Of this sponge
in England came into the possession Of
the late Professor owen in 1871. IL was
held by him as great treasure. 1t was
soon followed by Il few more specimens,
which were sold in the market at about
SO apiece, but now that they have been
found TO be so plentiful they may be
bought for as many shillinps. These
sponges were found by the Challenger
expedition to be growing in vast abund-
anco in certain spots in the deep waters
among the Philippine islands and also
off the coast of Brazil. "They live
buried in mud which is so soft and loose
as not TO crush them or in any way to
impede the assumption Of their elegant
form, and they are supported in their
position and prevented from sinking by
a fringe of CLASSY spicules.
"Thc tube Of this specimen from the
Philippines. after the death of the
sponge, is frequently inhabited by one,
sometimes by pair, of decapod crusta-
ceans. " He reminds one forcibly of the
hermit crab we have all seen living in
dead shells upon our own shores.
"These," says the same author, "are so
often found together that only few years
ago paper was written to show that this
sponge was Il wonderful habitation con-
structed by this crab. Good Words.

Interesting Statistics of Transportation In

Some interesting details have appear
ed in a report ON the omnibus and tram
car service Of London. The tramways,
which correspond to our car lines, are
all of feet So inches gauge except two
lines, which are only feet @ inches.
There are in the city II distinct routes,
Of which 5S are in use. The mileage of
the worked lines is given as $40. The
average speed Of London tram is 3. 4S
miles per hour that of London omni-
bus is 8. 3 miles per hour. The average
tram fare is 87-100ths of penny q
cents) per mile. Tho average omnibus
fare is 92-100tbs Of a penny per mile.
There are $40 cars on the lines, which
among them run II, l50 single journeys
during their days work, which lasts on
the average 16 hours and "A minutes.
Tho omnibuses are more than twice as
many. There are 2,l30 Of them, and
these are run 35, single journeys in
the course Of day that averages 10
hours and 32 minutes. There are 12
London tram companies In the course
of year their cars run 22, 7S7, 900 miles
and carry 225, 263, 900 passengers. The
London omnibuses run 40, 7S3, 900 miles
year and carry 326, 900, 900 passengers.
To work it's tram cars London re-
quires 10,002 horses; to work its omni-
buses it has 25,578. A summary Of
these figures shows that there are 3,239
vehicles employed, worked by 80, ,6G5
horses, travelling 72,500, 900 miles and
carrying SOL, ,345, 900 passengers in O
year. 1t is calculated that each of the

DOG AND STUFFED TIGER.
A Little Incident From New York Citys
Varied street Life.


"In Broadway show window" said
stroller, "there is IA particularly big
and handsome tiger, stuffed, that have
often looked at in passing. saw in
front Of this store the other day man
who had with him tremendously big,
shaggy dog. The man looked at the
tiger, and stopped and tried TO draw tho
dog attention 20 It, But the dog didn't
look that way, and, in fact, he didn't
stop. He slowed down, just rs one man
might have done for another who had
stopped for moment to look in win
dow or to speak to a friend, and when
he had moved ahead few steps in that
way, not finding himself overtaken, he
did just as man might have done again.
He swung round with the same meas
ured tread and came back TO the win
dow. Then the muster, with faint
smile, again invited the big dog to look
at the tiger, but instead of doing that
the big dog looked up into his masters
face and wagged his tail, and the mas
ter looked down and smiled at his dog:
then the man started on down Broad
way, with the big dog waggiDg his tail,
walking along beside him.
"But while the big dog had shown no
desire to look at the tiger, had, in fact,
shown rather an aversion to looking at
it, it did not appear that this aversion
came in any degree whatever from fear.
The perfect self possession and the deep
and unbroken good humor Of the dog
were unmistakable; apparently he sim
ply didn't care for tigers and didn't
want to look at this one, but it did seem
that If 1t had been possible for the tiger
to come to life and step down from the
window and around and out through the
door on to the sidewalk then the big dog
would not have walked away; that there
would then have been there on the side
walk the loftiest scrap that Broadway
ever saw, with the chances-well, the
chances were in favor of the dog. New
