Humphreys Is Indorsed.

A meeting of the District Council of Car
pent"rs and Joiners was held Wednesday night
The matter of the new Postoffiee work formed
much of the subject for discussion. The ap-
pointment Of Civil Engineer Humphreys as
superintendent of Construction of the Federal
building was most favorRbly commentSd upon
by all. Several speeches were made in which
Mr.. Humphreys merits were dwelt upon. In
the new Superintendent the union men recog-
nfze one who compels the con tractors to live
u to the plans and Specifications and their
agreements. He is recognized an advocate
of union workmen, good pay, good work and
eight hours for a days work. His appoint
ment was heartily Endorsed.

called at his room it was found that he
had been living in circumstances so
straitened as to warrant the belief that his
death had been due to insufficient nour-
iShment.
81 was very much surprised, p" said one
of the fellow artists of the dead man, "to
find out in what straitened ci: cum
stances Mr. de Conte had been. We knew
at the studio that he had hard time get
ting along; that he found it difficult and
almost i'm possible to sell his pictures, but
we did not know how badly off he was
or, poor as we artists are in these hard
times, we could have done something for
him. But he was too proud to let people
know his difficulties, and he was such q
perfect gentle m3tni'
The wife of The dead artist related a
touching story OF hardships suffered by
her husband since his arrival in this Civ.
Two children-a boy, bright lad of about
g. and pretty little curly haired girl of
about 3 = prattled innocentiy as the
mother told her sad tale.
''Three years ago." she said, tiny hus-
band held the position of dean of the art
department and professor of art in the
University of Southern California, and
also professor of art in the Froebel Insti-
tute of Los Angeles. Difficulties arose in
the university, resulting in the resigna-
tion of the president, DR.. Widney. and
also in the severance of my husbands s
connection with the university. In fact
the parties who caused DR.. Widney to re-
sign were also the ones who were respon-
sible for my husbands dismissal.
with that our troubles began Six
months ago we came TO San Francisco
but my husband found it almost mpossi-
Bile to sell his pictures. He tried hard to
get away, and at the time of his death he
was painting an Indian picture to send to
Mexico. hoping to be able TO move there
also. Several of his pictures have been on
exhibition at the Hopkins Institute and
in the studio on Post street but he could
not get purchasers for his paintings. As
far as art is concerned this is certainly the
worst City we have ever been in.
my husband was descended of an old
French family and was finely educated.
At various times be had painted for Will
liam Astor, Russell Sage and the EN-
peror of Brazil, and had also illus rated
Appleton's and Frank Leslie's. Among
the degrees and honors he held were
Etudiant des Beaux Arts de Francais,
Dean Of Art, M. A, member of the Society
of Chicago Artists and of the Hopkins So
ciety of Art of this City"
The deceased was a man of about 80.
His funeral will be held at 2 O'Clock next
Saturday from Halsted's undertaking
parlors, 946 Mission street, under the
auspices OF the local Artists Association.

A white man 6rst set foot on what is how Yuma County in l77l. It IS the Southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali. picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization gre crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the country afe at present turned, and as such, che is bound to grow and prosper with a tapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by 6 soil the fertility of which exceeds tlIat of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

CoLoRs AND COMPLEXION.
Women Should Know What They May
Wear and what Not.

1t IS surprising how few women con
slider whether the colors they wear are
suited to their own particular COM
plexion or not. Not longsince the styl.
ish color was that rich purple hue
known as petunia, and petunia was
forthwith nassed on the hats and bon
nets OF blonde and brunette alike. To
some women it was absolutely fatal to
any good looks they may have pos
sessed. Yet it is possible to be dressed
well and becomingly at the same time
by little study of color in conjunction
with ones personal appearance. Any
woman who studies effect will soon see
that the color which intensifes the
color Of her eyes is the one which IS the
most becoming every time.
Pale blue and pink should be care
fully avoided by women with red hair
as they exaggerate rather than soften
the natural coloring; but they will
never make any mistake with the dark
shades of brown, especially the red
brown. Brown is also the color of 8
brown-eyed woman, as 1t Will bring
out the beauty of her eyes as no other
color can, II she but chooses the right
shade. Gray is becoming to women
with gray hair, and to young women
who have gray eyes and lovely com
plexions, old or young. provided she Sc
lects the right tint
The blonde can wear pure white. with
out a tinge Of yellow or pink in ii, but
the brunette mus. be careful to wear
the soft cream shades. and If she wears
black at all it must be very glossy, while
a pronounced blonde can safely deck
herself il the dull black which is used
for mourning. Green is pretty sure &c
be suitable 10 every complexion, pro-
yidins ore is fortunate enough TO dis
cover the particular shade which har-
monies best with the coloring. and j;
so happens that green is the leading
color this season. especially the strong
dark shades of metallic green.-Boston

MARvELS OF THE OCEAN.
Many Strange Things That Have Puzzled
the Mariners.

many strange Thin3s That Have Puzzled
the Mariners.
The makers of ancient maps Were &C.
customed to introduce pictures freely.
In deserts there would be drawings of
lions, and along rivers they made river
horses"-which is the meaning Of the
Greek words that were put together 20
make up 'hippopotamus. AS for the
oceans, they were filed up with any
queer monsters that came to hand. OF
course these pictures helped to hide
great spaces that would otherwise have
been staring blanks.
Besides, men understood very little
about the strange happenings in the
world around them, and invented fairy
tales to explain these mysteries. It is
not remarkable, then, that SO late as
Columbus time his sailors did not at
all like to think Of sailing westward into
creatures and magic happenings. Even
with ell that wise and studjous mea
have learned since, there is enough to be
met with in q long ocean voyage to ex-
cite wonder and alarm.
Sailors may see auroras, the strange
Northern Lights" the cause Of which
is even now little more than guessed at;
tLey may be surrounded By water
spouts, which are not entirely explained
as yet; they may meet tidal" (that is,
earthqual1e) waves, that rise from 30
TO 60 feet, or even more, above the sur
face; they may be amazed by '-St e.
mos fire." the sparkling flames that
play about masts and rigging; they mag
behold lightning in globe form, sheet
flashes, or forked bolts; they are sure
to sail through the phosphUescence
that has but lately been traced to ami
NAL life. Then, too, storms and Gains.
fogs and moonlight bring strange
sights. Altogether, the ocean is a won
deTland that has new marvels every
day; the very color OF the sea IS hardly
twice the same.-Tudor jerks, in 81.
