The Steamer Point Arena Goes on the
Beach-The Mary B.dwell
in Distress.

The Oriental and Occidental steamship
Gaelic arrived early yesterday morning
from Hongkong, via Yokohama and Homo
lulu. As it had been reported that she
had sickness on board she was met in the
lower bay by Quarantine Officer Chalmers
and ordered to Angel Island. Upon an
examination of her papers it was learned
that one of her passengers had died at
Yokohama upon her arrival from China,
and another had been afflicted with mild
form OF smallpox on the trip to Honolulu
The patient had recovered and the vessel
had been overhauled and fumigated at
Honolulu.
AS no sickness was found on board the
Gaelic, the cabin passengers and mails
were permitted to come ashore in the tugs.
The steerage passengers were retained
aboard the vessel to be fumigated, after
which they will be landed. The ship will
come to her dock this forenoon.
The fifty cabin passengers were as fol-
lows:

didn't think she would ever reach the car,
and consequently did not stop. But that
woman was one of the up-to-daters, and
she had different notions from those of the
conductor. She ran like rabbit, and it

The Reading Mania.

"They talk about the drink habit, the to.
bacco habit and the morphine habit" said
DR.. E. c. Briggs of Pittsburg at w illard's,
"but the worst habit to which man can
become addicted / have never seen men,
toned in print. I refer to the reading
habit. Reading is at once source of rec.
reation and profit when properly regulated.
but when it becomes confirmed habit it
wrecks man mentally and physically
rendering him entirely useless to himself
or the world. Every librarian knows the
class to whom / refer. Those with the
reading habit read every minute, their
brain becomes incapable of realizing
the actual affairs of earth, and
they no more understand other men
than though they had never seen
one. They are, of course, possessed OF
inexhaustible information, and person to
talk to one casually would suppose him to
be great man, when, as a matter of fact,
he is no more fitted to take part in the af-
fairs of the world than is q child in the
cradle. If they have money it is soon
gone in visionary schemes; they are nuis-
ances to those around them, because they
do not understand them; their time is en-
tirely wasted in the passion for reading,
and there is no more pitiabls object on
earth than the man afflicted with the read

of food and water. Light and baff1in g
winds had heightened out the voyage
Otherwise no accident had occurred. The
Tillamook sent provisions and barrel of
water aboard the schooner and the two
vessels parted company.
A dispatch from Point Arena last even
ing stated that the coast steamer Point
Arena, which left this port the 10Th for
Mendocino and way ports, struck on the
rocks at Point Arena. She mad discharged
the freight and passengers intended for
that port and was starting for Mendocino
City. As she backed out her propeller
fouled the lines of the steamer Whitesboro
and she Immediately became unmanage-
able.
The luckless vessel was washed on the
rocks at South Beach. The Whitesboro
rendered assistance and succeeded in pull
ing the Point Arena into deep water. The
freight was transferred to the Whitesboro
and the passengers on board at the time
were landed at Point Arena safely. The
steamer South Coast was signaled for and
she took the disabled vessel in tow for San
Francisco. The crew went on board the
South Coast, as the Point Arena soon filled
with water.

sit is hard to fight entrenched corrup.
ton. A good man will seldom fight as
hard for principle as a bad man will for
his corrupt perquisites. No good man
fights so bitterly as does the corrupt poll
tician in his effort to hold his point OF
vantage. But we have a way of fighting
that can be made effective, and it will need
no great physical effort. ALI we need to
do is to stick together and all cast our lit
tie silent but powerful ballot in the one
cause of reform.
Members of the American Protective
Association, let that unselishness rest
upon you that is necessary to win COM
mon and glorious victory. Let every effort
be directed toward one common object. Ii
our leaders decide that we must come out
of that party or out of this party, it is our
duty to do as they suggest, and unless we
do as they instruct, we cannot hope to win
in our great struggle. Only by standing
! together under all circumstances, shoulder

our organization-the salvation OF the

thrill of kick from an honest man in

recently chatted with q reporter.

observed Mr.. Thompson in the course OF
a conversation that touched on miscel-
lany Of subjects, land in our wander
ings we came to an inn.
ut was late at night, but by the
bright moonlight we were enabled to
see that the sign had a counterfeit pre-
sentiment of two asses heads, with this
not unfamiliar legend inscribed over
the picture:
When shall we three meet again?'
1--WE stood for moment gazing at it,
when Morrison went to tho inner door
and began to thump upon it with his
cane, while the echoes rang through the
house.
II was just going to expostulate with
him over his unseemly conduct when
an upper window was thrown open and
the innkeeper thrust out his head and in
an indignant tone demanded what in the
name Of all the demons under the earth
we wanted.
""That's all right. old man. Don't
get excited called up my friend. There
arc only two asses heads Oh the sign,

no master; it has OH its side the plain
every day people OF the country and
state, and to them we appeal with an UNI
questioning belief that in this hour OF
trial and tribulation right will conquer;
wrong will be dethroned ever-controling
masses will overthrow classes; the peo-
pie will again assume authority and pros
perity return. heralded by the announce

The most wonderful Of the many
Texan freaks and monstrosities that has
ever came under our notice was tho IA
nous "ten horned Jack county cow"
This remarkable freak of nature was
born in Jack county, in the state above
mentioned, in 1887. She was literally
"horns from head to foot" At the ter
mination Of each Of her four legs, in
the place where the regulation split hoof
should have been, were monstrous crook
ed and gnarled horns. seemingly solid
throughout. These hoof horns were not
Of the clear and semitransparent, finely
plicated material characteristic Of the
horns Of the bovine family, but appear
ed more like rams horns than anything
else. In 1891 or 1892 these hoof horns
had grown to such a length (averaging
over feet each) that the COW was taken
OFF the range and sold to Mr.. Manley
Of Paris, Tex.
At that time, besides the horns which
were used in the place of hoofs, she had
four others on her legs-one where each
"dew claw" should have been. These
dew claw horns, in addition to those
just described, make total Of eight
horns, which, with the two on her head,
made the total Of ten. The man who
owned this queer beast before she was
taken from the range, a Mr.. Oliver, re-
peatedly sawed these extraordinary
growths off, but they were SO persistent
and grew SO rapidly that she was finally
sold, because it was an utter impossible
ity for her to Craze and stand up on
hornlike stills which made her legs
from 10 inches to 2 feet longer than
they should have bccn.-St. Louis Re-

Grecian Marriage Customs.

At wedding feasts in Morea the bride
and bridegroom stand upon sofa or
box, while the guests gather around
singing and making speeches in their
honor. Rice and cotton seeds are thrown
after the departing pair. Upon her ell
trance to the new home the bride must
drink glass Of honey and water. that
her words may always be sweet. Often
the door sill is smearcd with honey. In
Rhodes the bridegroom. dipping his fin
gers III nectar and tracing Il cross on his
door, says to the bride, "Be good and
sweet as honey" Then he brushes
pomegranate and enters the house. In
some parts Of the country, when the
bridegroom enters tho BRIDES house he
breaks stick on the doorstep to show
his power over his future wife. In all
parts Of the country the bride is sup
posed to behave very humbly. At the
feast she usually sits in corner on
pile Of cushions, while her new lord sits
In tho center of the gathering. The
guests carry away small honey cakes or
little white satin bags Of candy, which
are really very pretty. In the island OF
Cyprus the groom is carried to his we'd
ding in the arms Of his friends. II he
comes from distance, however, he en-
tors on horseback, and the youths Of tho
BRIDES hamlet try to pull him from his
horse, but it is his aim to ride proudly
up to her door and bear her away in
triumph.
Sometimes the shepherds pretend to
carry away their brides, but the resist
ance is only feigned, and one who has
seen all these odd things says the mock
resistance usually ends with the words.
Drive ON and never mind my tears. "

quiet little woman entered the store and

conversation, in the course of which I
asked her if she had heard the great
Jenny Lind, who was then the talk Of
the town. She laughed and said: oh,
yes. I have heard her. Have your I
told her that hadn't had that pleasure,
and that had very little prospects Of
hearing her, the price Of admission was
so high. She laughed again, and then
she handed me song she had picked
out and asked me to play the accom-
paniment for her while she tried it.
She sang SO beautifully that l played
like one in dream. When she had fin

smile she said, You cannot say now
