Recent Death of George r. Borden
of San Mateo County.

Frank II. Wing and daughter Erma
have returned from the funeral of his
uncle, George r. Borden, which took
place at Half-Moon Bay on Friday.
After mining for a few years Mr.. Bor-
den located near Half Moon Bay, San
Mateo County in 1858, and had the
distinction of being the first white man
to cross the Santa Cruz range Of noun
tains and make his home in that place.
He was born near Little Falls, n. Y,
in 1872, and during his boyhood was
a schoolmate and intimate friend c.
the late Senator Stanford. Borden was
one of the builders of the Erie Canal,
having charge of the construction of
fifty miles near Utica City.
The deceased was extensively engag-
ed in the manufacture Of shingles and
was associated with G.. P. Hartley of
Redwood City, forming one co-partner-
ship, and with r. H Hatch of the coast
side in similar enterprise. His real
property consists of a valuable tract
of timber land in Purissima canyon.
which is worth 500 900. He leaves one
son.

fed to having attended Hoffelt after
the fight, and described the injury TO
the ear. In his opinion il was the re-
suit of a bite.
E. E. Todd, Hoffelt's partner testified
that the trouble originated over Hoffelt
having cleaned some cans, which work
he thought Dixon ought to have done.
The witness said Hoffelt was the ag-
gressor, and that Dixon did not bite his
ear.
Hoffelt, the prosecuting witness, tes-
titled that Todd had set Dixon on, and
that after some hard language had
passed the latter threw off his coat and
rushed the witness, getting the latters
ear between his teeth He continued to
chew and grind on the ear until Hof-
felt's wife appeared, when Todd-who
had stood with his arms folded, watch
ing the progress Of the melee-inter-
fered and induced Dixon TO let go his
hold
Mrs. Hoffelt corroborated her hus-
bands testimony from the time she en-
tered the shop until hostiliues
ceased. She said she implored Dixon
to release her husbands ear, and that
she finally appealed to Todd to sepa-
rate the men, which he did.
Dixon took the stand, and his evi-
dence for the most part corroborated
that of Todd.
Owing to the conflicting nature of the
evidence, Justice Davis discharged The

MONGOLS ALARMED.
A Chest of C1othes-Wringers Mis-
taken for Firearms.

There was hurrying to and fro in Chi
natown last evening, and the little yell
low men from the Orient We're in
state of excitement.
This was occasioned by a trunk of
small dimensions which had been left
at the headquarters of one of the tongs
by a youthful-looking Mongol, who ar
rived yesterday. AS soon as the facts
became poised abroad the members of
all the other tongs jumped to the con-
clusion that the small trunk was in re-
atty an arsenal, packed to the top with
breech-loading rifles and 45-caliber re-
volvers.
Groups Of Chinese gathered in door

finally those who are not prepared for
war communicated with police head
Quarters and requested protection.
Chief Drew and Captain Fisher visit
ed the headquarters of the gang with
which the alleged arsenal had been left
and proceeded to investigate.
The trunk was opened and found TO
contain not munitions of war and i'm

wringers. The youth who brought the
trunk to the city. so the Cinnamon stat
ed. had borrowed 81 80 on it and gone

AN EXPLODED GENERATOR.
1t Wrecked Soda Fountain-A
Woman Cut on the Face

The generator of soda fountain ex-
ploded in the Empire Bakery at Ninth
and K streets last night and flew into
a thousand pieces.
Fortunately nobody happened to be
very near to it at the time or it would
have made work for the Coroner. One
of the women employed in the place
was slightly cut on the face by piece
of glass that flew from a shattered
show case, but she was the only person
injured.
The flying fragments of the marble
fountain played havoc with the inside
glass of the show window, and also
with the show cases.
The accident was caused by someone
leaving the exhaust pipe open.

ALUMINIUM NOT POISONOUS.
An Interesting Experiment Tried on Two
Young Physicians.

Young Physicians.
Recently two healthy and robust ply
sicians, aged &c and 35 years, were Sc
lected by the imperial German health
bureau to undergo an interesting eX-
pertinent in order to ascertain whether
aluminium is poisonous or not. These
two gentlemen, in order to test the
nonpoisonous properties of aluminium,
volunteered, every morning for one
month, to swallow Is grains of alumni
MUM tartrate with their lunch. At the
end of the trial neither of them had
lost flesh or appetite or experienced the
slightest discomfort during the entire
period of their metallic lunch. 1t was
found that the metal was not adapted,
however, to contain for long period
brandy, whisky or wine. After time
these liquids turn turbid, and although
perfectly harmless ore not inviting, to
say the least, although for two or three
days. journey they are not appreciably
acted on when carried IN aluminium
TASKS.
A correspondent writing on the sub
ject states that he has cast aluminium
cooking utensils for over IL months
and that they have given both the cook
and the consumer every satisfaction
without any fear of poisoning, as when
copper utensils were employed. Dental
plates are also now made of aluminium,
which, besides having only fraction
of the weight of gold plate, possess the
additional advantage of producing no
disagreeable taste in the mouth.-Elec-
trical Engineer.

MEN OF LETTERS.

For a socialist, and a leader among
them, the late William Morris left a
somewhat inconsistent fortune over
100000.
Mr.. William Sharp, the English critic
and author who recently made a short
visit to this country, is very kindly dis
posed toward American writer's, and
makes a point of always giving their
work prompt and careful reviews.
The news comes from London that
"a poet" has been discovered working
in rubber factory in the East end and
that certain benevolent persons" have
arranged to take him from the factory
and give him three years of study.
Ibsen and Tolstoi, having begun to
pail ON the Partisan public, translators
have brought forward more northern
and even more realistic literature from
Lapland and Finland, the chief expo
nents of which are two novelists named
Paivarinta and Runcherg.
There are many penalties pertaining
to fame. Capt. Mahan, who modestly
asserts that he is not an orator, has

for a speech. He has a graceful and

ORNAMENTS FOR THE HAIR.
Appropriate Styles for Every Variety of
Couture,


Coinure.
A bewildering variety of ornaments
for the hair are presented this season,
aud each importing house appears to
show line of specialties exclusively
its own. Novel shapes in combs, mer-
curry wings, tiaras and pins, studded
with semiprecious stones, are charm
ing for dress occasions. Fine cut steel
is used for the same purpose, and the
dainty head ornaments in tortoise shell,
amber or ivory set with brilliants or en-
riched with sterling silver carvings and
filigree work, battle description. The
Greek psyche and pompadour coiffures
each call for ornaments of a different
shape and character, just as the Isabella
style requires the high Spanish comb.
and the most trying Roman Golf with
tresses laid in straight severity demands
the fillet of pearls or gold. The orna-
ments for the pompadour couture are
the most novel, brilliant and elaborate.
Pretty little bowknots of silver dcnsely
studded with Irish diamonds are plenti-
fully used, with the rolled and waved
Marie Antoinette couture. the hair ar
ranged at the back near the top of the
head in one large bow knot. All of these
fancy" decorations are duplicates of

WHEAT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Grain Is Always Being Harvested In Some
Part of the Globe.

Part of the Globe.
THE wheat crop is always being har-
vested somewhere said a man on the
board of trade. "Just now, while the
American farmer is not thinking of
wheat, the crop of Australia, Chilli and
the Argentine Republic is being put on
the market. In February and March
the fields of upper Egypt and those OF
India are harvested These of lower
Egypt, which is irrigated by the over
flowing of the Nile, is harvested in April,
while Syria, Cyprus, Persia and Asia
Minor also gather crops during that
month. Cuba's wheat will also be gath
cred in April.
Texas is the first of our states to
send wheat to the market. This it does
during May, at the same time that the
delds of Algeria, central Asia, China,
Japan and Morocco are making their
yields. In June those of California
Oregon, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
the Carolinas, Tennessee, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Kansas, Arkansas, Utah, Col
orado, Missouri. Turkey, Greece, Italy,
Spain, Portugal and the south of France
are harvested. July sees the crops in
the other American states and all ex-
cept the northernmost part of Europe
harvested. Russia then begins to
gather her grain, more being harvested
in August, when Manitoba, lower Can
ida, North Dakota and the northern
most countries of Europe are the scenes
Of the harvest. Sweden, Norway and
northern Russia are the only whea !.
fields covered with the golden grain
in September and October. But just as
these crops are gathered the crops in
Peru and South Africa are ready, and
N December New South Wales gathers
her harvest.-Chicago Times-Herald.
