ChinatOwn,s Star Attraction.

The star attraction of Chinatown,
San Francisco, is no more. Blind
Annie is dead. For twelve years the
old Chinese woman has held her court
in the filthiest hut down the ilthiest
alley in Chinatown. There every
celebrity that has visited California
for the last decade has made apilgrim-
age to Blind Annie and her cats. For
years the old woman has not moved
from the howell. She was said to have
been the first Chinese woman to come
to California. Whether she was that
or not, she was among the first, reach
ing here in 1851, in the Chinese
bloom of fresh fourteen. Woman,
white or yellow, were rare in those
days, and an enterprising. merchant
bought Annie for $4,000 and made
her his wife. Toward the end Of her
life she became quite helple SIS, and hel
animals deserted her. Only one
yellow dog sat out the death watcl
beside his benefactress. The las
great visitor she had was Paderewski
who saw her twelve hours before sh
died, and gave her a fve-dollar gol'
piece. --Harper's Weekly.

The Pacific train was on its third day
out when the man in the gray suit became
restless says the Detroit Free Press. He
walked up and down the car like a Gagged
lion grumbled because a baby cried, and
made audible remarks about the weather.
Finally he stopped in front of a mild-looiS-

game of cards.

A Significant Circumstance.

The stump speaker was doing all that
he could to find out by personal interview
how his candidate stood with the people
in that part of the country. A sense of
hospitality seemed TO make some of them
timid about expressing their exact views.
One man who was reported 60 have a

unwilling to say anything about politics
although he attended at the meetings and
listened intently, says the Washington

HoardIng Money.

The boarding of money, chiefly gold. is
going on in all parts of the country. How
much money is hidden away
in safety deposit boxes and
in various other places It is
impossible to approximately estimate.
More than 100000 in gold was received
in New York from Europe on Wednesday,
but it did not go into the United States
treasury It was imported for those who
believe that If Mr.. Bryan is elected gold
will go to a premium. The greater part
Of the s4O,OOOOOO or $5O.OOOOO that has
reached this country from Europe within
the last two months has been hidden
away. not with the hope that gold will
90 10 a premium, but because Of the fear
that it will, IL the result of the election
should be in favor of free silver coinage
This Is a sort of harvest time for ,he
bullion brokers. They are doing large
business. The premium they charge for
gold is not very great, ranging from one
quarter to three-eighths of / per cent.

WhistIing.

There was a time" says a contempt
rary writer, when whistling men and
boys were almost as common as whistllng
birds; when the streets and workshops
would resound with the shrill music of
the merry whistler But nowadays the
practice seems to be dying out" Only a
pesslmist, a politician or recluse would
write any such stuff. 1t is a fact that
the politicians are not doing a great deal
of whistling just now, for they are not
yet out of the woods. But a large pro-
portion of the remainder of mankind have
their lips pursed and their lungs filed these
days just the same as during any other
days.
No man with ear drums in good oondi-
ton could walk dozen blocks in the city,
and then sit down and write in good faith,
that the small boys were whistling less
than they used to. For it is a fact be-
yond controversion that the aforesaid ear
drums would be assailed and tortured with
a little bit of about everything in the rep
ertory of all whistlers, from cat calls to
what may by courtesy be called selec-
tions from Wagnerian opera. In the shops
the whistling goes on as briskly and as
shrilly as ever, when the rules are not
against it. This very article is being writ
ten in an atmosphere that is vibrant with
the whistling of a painter, who whisks
his brush in time with the cadences Of bis
music.
When people whistle, 1t Is a pretty good
sign that they are not in distress; unless
perehance they are walking through a
graveyard and whistling to keep their
courag e up. 1t is probable that the writer
quoted above wished TO create the impress
sion that the decadence of whistling was
an indicator of dissatisfaction on the part
of the people. Some writers have been
very busy Of late. trying to convince
the people that they were in a mighty bad
way, and the country was in danger of
going to the bow-wows unless certain DO
litcal policies were adopted at the cleo
ton. But the people have whistled.
Where Did You Get That HAITI" and
have gone right along about their work.
with confidence in themselves, their gov
eminent and the future. So far from
whistling becoming thing of the past, as
a matter of fact, many OF the topical
songs rendered at the theaters these DAYS
have their several bars to be whistled.
and which bars are to be heard on the
streets, in the business houses, the work.
shops. on the exchanges and in homes.
The person who thinks whistling is going
out Of fashion ought to spend a week in

The Election in the First District.

1t Is a source of satisfaction to notice
the interest that is being taken in the re-
election of Col. Lester. 1t is undoubtedly
gratifying to him to find that his services
In congress are so highly appreciated and
that earnest and sincere friends in all
parts of the district are exerting them
selves to make his majority one that will
show the high esteem in which he is held
and the great value that is placed upon
his public services.
Not alone are democrats supporting
spoken in their purpose to vote for him,
This is because of the fact that he served
the district well and faithfully.
In Washington he has not idled his time
| away; neither has he devoted it to the
advancement of personal and selfish in
terests. He has given his whole attention
\ to his public duties. He has made friends,
because without them a congressman can
accomplish nothing for his district He
has strengthened his influence in every
way he possibly could, and he was wise
\ in doing so, for when he was making de-
mands for his district this influence stood
him in good stead, and enabled him to
have his demands granted.
| Savannah has special reasons for CIV
/ ing Col. Lester big vote. 1t is unneces-
/ sary to enumerate them. Every citizen
knows what they are. They are strong
enough to justify.us in saying that every
registered voter in Chatham county ought
to cast his vote for Col Lester.
The election is close at hand. There is
very little more time In which political
work can be DONE but every man who is
interested in the welfare OF Savannah
should take the trouble to see that his
neighbor casts vote for the man who

Over the hills and far away
There are dreadful dragons that knights
may slay-
Great snorting dragons with brazen
scales,
And wings of leather, and coiling tails.
But if you're the proper kind of knight,
With suit of mail and sword that's
bright
You may whip those dragons and win the
day,
Over the hills and far away!
over the hills and far away
There are ogres living in castles gray,
With a horn to blow and the drawbridge
down.
And the ogres stamp. and below, and
frown.
But it doesn't do to be frightened-no!
You must face them bodily and strike a
blow,
And then you marry the Princess May,
Over the hills and far away!
over the hills and far away
There are fairy monarchs in grand array,
With gnomes, and prixies, and brownies,
too:
And my! the marvellous things they do!
But though they startle you just a bit,
They will help a lad who is sharp of wit,
And it's fun to watch when they dance
and play
Over the hills and far away!
You may have an excellent time, I say.
There are golden islands and magic
springs
And jabberwockies-and heaps of things
You can't be dun in a land like that
With enchanted boots and a talking cat,
So is 1t a wonder you long to stray
over the hills and far away?

Mr.. watson's candidacy for the Vice

his power In the Georgia election, with
the unspeakable result that his own town

form of government by injunction in the
shape OF an order from the Kansas SUI

that he should run. And here we are
