CARRIER PIGEON SERVICE.
First Information OF Swanhilda's
Arrival WIN be by a Bird.

Arrival WIN be by Bird.
This afternoon the carrier pigeon
service from the Farrallones was test
ed, says the San Francisco Bulletin OF
January Goth. A Carlisle, manufacture
ing stationer, All Montgomery street,
received the message at his pigeon loft
in Berkeley. From that point it was
telephoned Immediately to his Office
i'll this city.
Mr.. Carlisle has 30 homing pigeons
in the Farrallones in charge of Miss
Daisy Doud, the school teacher. He
intends to get the first information of
the arrival of the Swanhilda. The gen
tlcman makes business of raising The
swift carrier bird, and his stock are
swift flyers. The winged messenger
brought the following word:
FARRALLONE ISLAND, Jan. 20.
9:35 a. m: At 4:15 a. m. the 18th, a
four-masted ship was seen off the ISL
and-at least it so appeared through
the glass-but mist soon obscured it,
and darkness fell.
As this was a ship with four masts
three with yards and not knowing
what is due, We take it to be the Swan
hilda.

In the Case of Blake for Opium
in Possession.
There were quite a number of people
present in the police court yesterday
morning to listen to the trial of J. W.
Blake on the charge of having opium
in his possession. 1t will be remem-
bered that a lichee nut filled with fresh
opium was found in the trunk belong
ing to Blake and in the keeping of the
janitor at the Mechanics Home. an
old man whose word no one doubts.
He said that the trunk had been given
into his charge after Blake arrived in
December at least month ago. The
opium in the lichee nut was new. The
question is how did it come there and a
mystery lies therein. Some have solv-
ed it.
Judge De La Vergne did not allow
Blake to remain long in suspense and
nolle prosequi was entered immedi-
ately.

SOME FUN AT THE HOTEL.

"a la French Dinner)
The Australia's in, the house is full
The ladies are dressed to kill;
And we, old fosils, who pay the bills
Why, we are mostly MILL
The nice young man with the sweet
moustache,
Is fully in the swim,
And every girl under so years
Goes just one eye on him.
The dining room is filed with guests.
Corks are popping loud,
The clerk is wearing his newest smile.
The managers looking proud.
A pile of plates goes slamety bang.
A lady near by jumps,
A lively waiter grabs them up
And for the kitchen humps.
The cook is badly ratified.
Walters are on the fly,
The old earth still goes slowly round
Great Scott! we're living high.
Who would not live in the Paradise
of the Pacific? as they say.
And quietly smile once in a while
When the fun comes round this way.

MICROSCOPES FOR CATTLE.
Shippers Want Government Stamp
Put on Cattle Sent Abroad.

St. Louis. Dec. 13-Congressman
Whites agitation in regard to the mi
croscopical inspection of cattle intend
ed for export is bearing fruit. The
probabilities are that congressional aid
will be invoked at once to provide for
a government stamp being put upon
cattle which are to be sent abroad.
Chairman Wadsworth of the commit
tee on agriculture has received a letter
on the subject from Nelson Norris of
the Union Stock Yards at Chicago In
this letter Mr.. Morris says;
THE hog raising industry in the west
is suffering on account of not having
rnicroscOpical inspection in one of the
great markets of this country, at East
St Louis. The National Stock Yards
at st. Louis receive daily a great num-
Der of hogs which make the kind of
product that sells well in European
countries, but there is no micrOscOp1caI
inspection such as other western mar
kets have. Products of 10000 to $4,000
hogs day of the kind coming to East
St Louis can be disposed of in foreign
markets if the East st. Louis Stock
Yards can get this micrOscOpical in
spection to which they are entitled the
same a S any other market. Now IS the
time when there must be more outlet
found in European countries for our
hog products as We are having more
hog products than there is a marketfor
in this country. We packers are Will
ing and anxious to open new channels
for these products, for which the hogs
coming to East St. Louis are adapted.

The Burlington's New Observation
VestibuIed Trains.

A very handsome set OF wide obser-
walton vestibuled trains are just out of
the Burlingtons shops. They are avail
able for all classes of travel, and are
the only trains of their kind to ST.
Louis from the Missouri River These
are the Denver, Missouri River and St
Louis limited trains. Every car has a
wide observation vestibule. The trains
are lighted throughout with Pintsch
gas and equipped also with standard
and compartment sIeepers.
These trains are duplicate of the
new Eli to Chicago.
This achievement reflects the high
est credit upon the Burlington man

vide-vestibuled trains for all classes Of
travel.

The four who were released wanted
to know where they were going. When
told it was north of their present quar-
tiers, they gave evidence of delight. The
north is the charmed quarter to them,
and during their confinement in the
hospital they have spent many hours
gazing longingly out of the north win
dOws of their wards.
They all visited the ice cellar for the
last time, and Menney the 10 year old
boy, insisted on filing his pockets with
pieces of ice. They were then put into
a coach and driven to High Bridge.
Explorer Peary will take them to their
Arctic homes in the spring.

from the showing made, that he will be
successful.
For some years this building has

never provided. Now Mr.. Curtis has
reached prominence on the Indian com

placed in his congressional district

it being his duty to do SO, he has con-

one Of the most beautiful of all the blue
grass bellies, is the young woman who
considers herself scorned.
It all happened in this wise: About q
year ago, when he was secretary of the
navy, Mr.. Herbert promised several
prominent Kentuckians that the new
warship now nearing completion
should be named for their state. The
promise was made at dinner given in
honor of the secretary. Miss Richardson
was a guest at that dinner, and Mr..
Herbert was so charmed with her beau
ty that he also promised that she should
have the honor of christening the new
battleship.
But year has brought many changes.
Mr. Herbert is no longer secretary of
the navy, and Secretary Long asked
Governor Bradley to select a young
woman to christen the Kentucky. He
either did not know OF did not care that
Miss Richardson had been promised the
honor, for he announced recently that
his daughter, Miss Christine Bradley,
was to perform that Office. No sooner
did Miss Richardson hear that she was
to be set aside than she began making
things warm for Governor Bradley. In
an interview she said some caustic
things about him and insinuated that
he was lacking in gallantry, on which,
as every one knows, every Kentucky
gentleman prides himself.
Governor Bradley's defense is that
the chamber of commerce of Lexington
and the board of trade Of Louisville, be-
sides many individuals, had petitioned
him to appoint Miss Christine. She is
the only daughter of the governor,
handsome brunette, and is just IS years
old. At present she is attending Wash
ington college, Washington. She is a
charming young woman and is descend
ed from a family of distinguished SOL
diers.

CRISP FLAVOR.
Proper Way to Prepare Food Ele-
mentS


nentS
If this should reach the eye of a
reader who has been disappointed in
the taste of Postum Food Coffee, it is
respectfully urged that a new trial be
made with the knowledge that the
crisp delicious flavor can only be OBJ
tanned by allowing it to continue boil
ing full Is minutes after boiling COM
mences; this does not mean Is minutes
after being placed on the stove, please
remember.
True there are many who mix one
preparation win yield a pleasant flavor
after or 10 minutes boiling and will
have a proportion of food value, but
the strong food elements and choice
flavor can only be obtained from pure
Postum by sufficient boiling.
There is no question among those
who have made the test. that when
common coffee and white bread are re-
placed by Postum Food Coffee and en-
tire wheat preparations, there is a
steady growth towards a vigorous,
hearty physical and mental health
Each one can improve the health of
body by the use of natural food and
the dismissal of unnatural food.
The delicious feeling of health well
repays the attention and the charming
beverage, Postum is a comfort when
properly made.

COUNT FERDINAND WALSH EsTERHAZY.
Dreyfus, is only one of many Esterha-
zys Europe is full of them. Esterha-
zys who sport the title of count are as
common there as John Smiths are with
Us. There are no fewer than five princes
of the name and counts beyond count
ing. There are Polish EsterhGzys and
Austrian Esterhazys and Esterhazys
who are somewhat in doubt as to their
nationality. It is only in the Austrian
branch, however, that the rich and
princely ones are to be found.
This particular Count EsterhaZy, how
ever, is but left handed relative of the
aristocratic Esterhazys. He is said to
be the natural son of one of the Austri-
an counts Of that name. His mother
was a Frenchwoman. The count recog-
nized his son, but did not legitimatize
him. He gave him a fine education,
however, secured him a place in the
French army, and Ferdinand himself
won promotion and social position. He
possesses stars and crosses which give
him quite an imposing appearance in
drawing room, and until recently he has
been welcomed everywhere. At present,
however, he is under d cloud.
Count Esterhazy was major in the
French army until early in the year,
when he retired on account of i'll
health, but those who know him say
that he is most robust invalid. 1t is
limited that he foresaw the coming
charges. a few years ago he was poor
man. Now he is rich. Perhaps he feared
that the French government might be
too inquisitive as to chow he got it. -
Prince Paul Esterhazy, who has been
mentioned as the prospective husband
of Mrs. Langtry, is quite a different
person from the count and no connec-
ton at all
