A Soothing Hell.

Many sensitive persons are startled by the abrupt, incisive sound given out by the ordinary electric bell NJ. Guerre, Paris electrician, who has been work ing on the idea that this characteristic of the electric bell was not irremedia- ble, has produced bell which gives a continuous musical sound. The note is very soft and sweet, although penetrat- ing, and Is said to be an exaggeration of that obtained by rubbing the edge of glass with the finger. Instead of a bell with a hammer and a spring inter- rupter, a steel bell is used, which is its own interrupter. When the circuit is ,losed by the pressure of the button at the other end of the line, it is released from the electro magnet, forced forward and released again for number of times with great rapidity. The vibra- ton set up produces the pleasing hum- ming instead of the familiar sound so irritating to nervous people. The pitch of the note can at any time be changed. For instance, should there be sickness in house, and it is desired to reduce the carrying quality of the note, 1t can be lowered until 1t is audible only to the servants or others whom it is in- tended to summon

Another English Compliment.

Noting the rumor that the empress of Russia may try to have decree issued by the czar forbidding smoking by women, The Sketch says: However much the czarina may dislike the habit in members of her sex, and however de- termined she may be not to have those who practice 1t about her person, she may be trusted, as the daughter of our own lamented Princess Alice, to have too much respect for the liberty of the subject to make herself responsible for any such deSpotic and i'll advised ordi- nance. Such interference with personal liberty would be resented-and not un- naturally so-even in Russia In fact, there is only one civilized country-the United States of America-where this kind of legislation is regarded as a mat ter of course"

of the week to renew his journalistic asso-

who came here as an artist, intends re-
turning to the coast as soon as possible,
finding the climate here.very unsatisfac-
tory.
Since the yachting season has opened at
Larchmont Mr.. Harry GilIig, the Crockers.
the Haffs and other San Franciscans spend
considerable time on the water. Mr..
Frank Unger never overlooks San Fran
ciscans, and Larchmont is always open to
people from the Bay City. None of the
New York club have forgotten Uncle
George Bromley on his last trip to this
point, and they always inquire after him
with feeling. Uncle George made good
impression here by being the first on the
ground and the last to depart. There was
never a single instance. when he was in the
stragglers ranks, and his general behavior
among the ladies who had the pleasure of
meeting him is on par with that of the
late lamented Lord Chesterfield.
I met Steve Brodie yesterday, that cele-
brated New York citizen who falls off
Brooklyn bridge whenever he wants to at
tract attention.
"I am goin' out to Frisco in August
wild my show" said Mr.. Brodie. "You

to swim from de Cliff House to the seal

seal, in a rough and tumble fracas."
l offered the information that Ben But
Ter was dead.
Don't make no difference. I'll go up
against any one OF dem. Now dat goes.
See?'
Mr.. Brodie is really going to San
Francisco, but regarding his movements
with the descendants of the late Ben Butler
l am unable to give any definite informa-
ton.
Mr.. r. A. Irving, ex-secretary of the
Horse Show Association of San Francisco,
is at the Stuart House still, and has inter-

Hotel men are watching the II obart

there has been no end of conjecture as to

the Hobart com bination and Mr.. Astor's
Waldorf Hotel. 1t is recognized fact here
that when California capital comes into
business channels something has got to
come up to high standard to meet it.
