THE AMBULANCE RUN.
Fastest on Record-Litt1e for the Four
Doctors to Do.

AS soon as the first excitement of the
explosion passed the first thought of those
who not injured was to secure medi-
cal assistance for the sufferers. People liv-
ing in the vicinity of the brewery hurried
in every direction for physicians, and
telephone message summoned the ambu
lance and entire staff from the City Dis
pensary. Hastily gathering together sup
ply of bandages; lotions and instrument
cases. Drs. Wilson, Van Alta, Bahr and
linn climbed into the white ambulance.
The first report was that fifteen or twenty
people were badly, perhaps fatally, burned,
and the driver was instructed to drive
like the wind" The run to the brewery
was the fastest on record. Reaching the
scere of the accident the young physicians
found, however, that they could not be of
much assistance, as a number of ply
sicians living in the neighborhood had al
ready done everything possible to relieve
the men. Most of the were able to
walk to their homes with some assistance,
but two of them were transferred to their
homes, one at $50 East Merrill street, and
the other to 319 Blake street.
So powerful were the fumes Of the am"
nonia which enveloped the building that it
was almost impossible to get nearer than
fifty feet, and the ambulance horse refused
to go forward. The young physicians say
with hands and face bound up in cotton,
and to hear the cries OF women who mag
ined their husbands and brothers We're
worse injured than they really were.

Gibraltar as - strategic Point.

Gibraltar (about 900 miles from
England) is OF immense importance as
being the great watch tower from which
the movements OF warships can be OBJ
served and teiegraphed as they pass
into and out OF the Mediterrean sea.
Moreover, situated as il Is near the
flank OF our trade routes both to the
Cape and TO the West Indies and South
America, it is the point at which YES
sells would naturally call for news,
orders, coal and protection during the
continuance OF war. When you con-
slider than in every second Of time 20
tons OF shipping come into or go out OF
our home ports, and that, as matter
OF fact, the stream is continuous and
never ceases, and that the value OF the
sea borne trade OF the British Empire
is calculated at $3.50, 900, 900, Of which
ESQ, 10000 neither comes to nor
goes from the United Kingdom, it
seems difficult to exaggerate the value
OF Gibraltar or to realize the congestion
OF British shipping which might seek
its protection in war. II has at pres
ent no dry-dock. Its garrison consists
Of seven companies Of artillery, four
companies OF engineers, and three
batalions Of infantry. It Is the meet

watch had q split second hand and

in 1t tiny music box. which played
three distinct tunes. This watch, he
said, was the finest that could be made,
but that ornaments, diamonds, etc.,
could be worked into the cases, which,
would run the price up into as many
thousands as the purchaser desired.
He said there had been one watch
made in his establishment, the cases
OF which had been studded with dia-

cerned 1t was 800 watch. Wash

Kilkenny Cats.

ITO fight like Kilkenny cats" recalls
the hiring OF Hessians to suppress the
great insurreciion in Ireland. These
German soldiers had brutal sport,
consisting OF catching couple OF cats,
tying their tails together, throwing
them across q clothes-line, and allow
ing them to tear one another to pieces.
A Hussar regiment was stationed at
Kilkenny, and the sport, becom-
ing known to the officers. was for
bidden. One day the soldiers were
surreptitiously indulging in it in their
barracks, when the step OF the officer
OF the day was heard, and Hus-
sar, hastily drawing his sword,
slashed at the cats, cutting off their
tails and releasing them. The multi
ated creatures hastily vanished through
the nearest window, and when the
officer entered and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION OF the severed tails it was
suavely explained to him that two cats
had been fighting and had eaten each
other up, all but the tails.

II some people in this community
were told that there was o man living
in nakedness near Applegate station.
it would be strain upon their credul-
ity to accept the statement, yet such is
the case to this extent, says the Placer
County Republican. Near the above
named place dwells young man who,
while in the seclusion Of his home,
does not wear vestige OF clothing, in
fact is entirely naked. What his ideas
of life are We have never taken the
pains to find out, but have it on good
authority that the facts we have here
stated are true. He is said to be a
gentleman in every particular and a
thorough student. Some have con-
founded its belief with the Esoterics,
who reside near him, but he is in no
way akin to them, in fact does not
agree with them. He has a little
daughter about three years old. and
tourist to that vicinity recently OBJ
tanned a picture of the father and
daughter taken together. Both are
nude. Those who meet this queer
parsonage pronounce him to be highly
intellectual, and that he is careful not
to be seen in his nude state by those
whom his condition would offend.
He, OF course. enjoys the most rugged
health and snaps his fingers at coughs
and colds. He is young and powerful
and well-built, and his diet consists
mostly OF uncooked food, excluding all
meats. Whenever he appears in a
public place he dresses in the ordinary
costume, except that he wears sandals
on his feet.
