LOOKS LIKE DUNHAM.
A Suspect Who Visited the Police
Station Yesterday Morning.

About $3.50 o'clock Sunday morning
two men drove up to the police station
ia a buggy and one of them went in
side, where were the usual night force,
as well as Officer Logue and Special
picture and description of murderer
Durham, and was accommodated
The officers questioned the visitor,
who said he had a suspect cornered
near his home, which, after some hesi-
ta ton, he located in Placer County His
suspect and Dunhams description,
however, did not tally, and he left the
station, climbed into the buggy, which
was driven down Front street to ] and
up ] to-nobody knows where.
1t was not until he had gone that
the officers began to compare notes,
when it was found that the stranger
was an exact counterpart of Dunham
in every particular, except that his
mustache appeared to be of lighter
color than Dunham's.
The man was nearly six feet tall.
wore black sloucn hat, pointed shoes.
standing collar and a gray chin
chilla overcoat which fell to his heels.
II was determined to bring him back and
lock him up on suspicion of being Dun
ham himself, but the buggy and two
men had absolutely disappeared and
have not yet returned
While the officers do not say the man
was Durham, both Logue and May
last night said they would willingly
give $50 for another look at him.

MATHEMATICS AND LOVE.
Demonstrating the Relations Between
the Two

Il WISH" said the young man, as the
twilight deepened, 'I could believe you
loved me as much as love YOU.
That" said the college maiden, sis
simplicity itself. Suppose I demonstrate
it to you mathematically.
Well" he responded, somewhat
doubtfully.
You and IT, continued Miss Axiom,
belong to a. certain circle, do we not ?"
Yes" he assented
Consequently" said she, 1--WE might
call ourselves radn Of that circle"
The young man nodded.
1.-TWO radii of a circle are equal to a
third radius Of the same circle
He did not contradict her.
1T is established beyond all possible
dispute that things which are equal to
the same thing are equal to one an
ether"
The young man was interested, but
puzzled.
Now" she concluded, in triumph,
'if you and 1 are both equal to an un-
known quantity, which we will call
x"
What is X?' he interrupted.
Our love for each other" was the
prompt reply.
"Oh," he replied, satisfied.
"If," she repeated, you and I are
both equal to X. our mutual love, then
as things which are equal to the same
thing are equal to one another, I must
love you in the same ratio that you
love me-

needing any more light on the subject
the gas was not illuminated for fully
two hours.-Tid-Bits

TO DR.. M. GARDNER,
Caused by the Fall Of an Elevator in
San Francisco.
Colonel J. B. Wright and w. S. Leake
Were in It, But Escaped
Injury.

An accident happened in San Fran
cisco on Saturday that resulted in the
severe injury of DR.. M. Gardner. late
OF this city, now chief of the Southern
Pacific hospital system.
DR.. Gardner, Division Superintendent
]. B. Wright of this city and w. S.
Leake, Secretary of the Pacific Coast
Jockey Club, were descending in an
elevator from the sixth floor of the
Union Trust building, when the ele-
yator became unmanageable and de-
scended rapidly to the ground floor. In
relating the facts the Chronicle" of
yesterday says:
Leake was badly shaken up, but
anticipates no more serious results than
a sore and tired feeling for the next
few days DR.. Ainsworth, division sur
geon of the Southern Pacific at Los An
Geles, was at the Palace Hotel He was
called at once, and accompanied DR..
Gardner to his residence. He said last
night that, though his patient was suf-
fering severely, he did not consider his
injuries dangerous.
Exactly how or why the accident
happened is not known. The cage had
descended rapidly from the sixth to the
lOurIn HoOr, where someone called 10
stop, but the operator was unable to
check the elevator He tugged at the
lever, but to no purpose. With increas-
| ing speed the cage descended until it
struck the basement floor.
The more serious nature Of DR.. Gard
ner's injuries were due to the fact that
| he was leaning against the side Of the
| elevator, with his legs like props sup
orting his body. He thus received the
full force of the shock. His compan-
ions, on the contrary, were standing
II. the middle Of the cage and bent and
crouched as it struck the floor"
Colonel Wright returned to this city
III the evening, and was at his office
yesterday, none the worse for the acci-
dent except a slight sprain in one OF
his ankles.

LODGING HOUSES IN RUSSIA.
Guests Are Expected to Carry Their
Bedding.

In apartment-houses the lodgings
which open on the courtyard rent for
lower price, because the entrance is
through porte cOchere, or, at night,
through Q. wicket therein. This is an
unobjectidnable, rather an aristocratic,
arrangement in a private house; but
elsewhere the courtyard may contain
too many stables, workshops, or even
large number of cows to supply dairy
shops, which profess to deal in Finnish
that is to say, IN pure country-but-
ter, cream and milk. In this case, also,
the winters supply of wood for the
great house is sure to be stacked in
piles couple of stories high, so close to
the less desirable lodgings that the pre-
feet or the town was obliged to issue
an order protecting the poorer inhab-
itantS, and regulating the position of
the Wood-pileS at a proper distance
from the building for light and air.
Our researches revealed the fact that
very few 'furnished' lodgings provid-
cd either towels, bed-linen, coverlets,
or pillows, or anything, in fact, beyond
the bare bedsteads and furniture. OF
course we were aware theoretically,
that this is a reminiscence of the days
when every landed proprietor travelled
accompanied by an entire housekeeping
outfit and staff of servants, when he un-
| dertook those long carriage journeys
" hich preceded the days of railways,
and which are still compulsory in some
parts of the Empire. Nevertheless, in
| practice, we were not prepared to ac-
cept this, beyond towels, and we pro-
tested that no traveller should be
obliged to drag such bulky objects
about with him, in these days of i'm
proved transit facilities. The logic of
this argument was not very strong on
our side, it Is true, but most trav-
elers will agree with US nevertheless.
The Russian lodging-house people, in
return, seemed to regard us with
amaZement and pity because we did
not possess these things, and declined
to purchase them. Their idea must
have been that we were accustomed
to sleep in our clothes, like their own
| peasants.
In some cases they were willing to
provide the bed furnishings, for a con-
sideration; but they regarded one towel
| a week, and one change Of linen a
month, as ample.-Isabel Hapgood in
| Lippincott's.

PREFERRED COAL OIL.
A Farmer Who Feared AsphyxiatiOn
From Hydrogen Gas.

One day not long ago a tall country
man, with his boots frescoed with 'yal-
ler'' mud, and his pants legs stuffed
into their tops, walked into Market
street dental office and inquired if that
was the place where they ''yanked" out
teeth.
The dentist informed him that it was,
and he, taking a seat in the operators
chair, told the dentist that he had one
he wanted "yanked" out.
The dentist gave the tooth several
preliminary probes with a sharp instru-
ment, which appeared to give the coun-
countryman that, as this tooth was
tryman great pain, and then told the
very sensitive, it would be necessary for
him to take gas to deaden the pain,
which would be caused by the opera
ton.
The countryman grew indignant at
this, and very quickly informed the
dentist that he would take coal oil, if
necessary, but he'd be 'gol darn eff he
would go gas" as he'd heard bout
people bein' 'fixiated by takin' it, The
dentist pulled the tooth without the
aid of either gas or coal oil.-Louisville

GladnesS Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, ano is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
