Remarkable in many ways, the "tule
gnat" of the far west is most curious
for its almost total lack of weight. The
little insect has nearly microscopic
body but a relatively huge spread of
wings, which gives it the apparent
size of a mosquito. In some parts of
California ''tule gnats" swarm so
dcnsely about burning lamps that sew
elal times during an evening the dead
must be cleared away to give the light
Il chance. In brightly illumined stores
the gnats are veritable pests, and it was
in Lake county (Cal.) drug store that
curious experiment was recently
made. AS many gnats were collected
rs could be heaped upon pan of the
apothecary's scales; the smallest
weight in use to measure the most deli
cate drugs was then put upon the Gp-
posite pan and was found to Overhaul
ance the mountain of gnats.-N. O.

The major and Superintendent Nc
Adoo, of the Starlight Stage company,
rode side by side in the moonlight,

A chorus of Aells interrupted the ma
ior. For a moment they slackened
pace and listened. They We're ct the
outskirts of the camp, and as they re-
allied that the noises that the evening
breeze brought to them were not
sounds of joyous revelry, with one inn
pulse they started forward. Down the
street they galloped and drew up clat-
tcring before the dance hall, from
which issued ali that acknowledging
clamOr.
The participants were almost ex-
hausted, and the officers, armed and eX-
perienced in the handling of men, with
the vigorous aid of the ma or and the
superintendent, succeeded in restoring
order. But. though they searched long
and carefully and inquired of all who
were in condition to answer, no trace
could be found of the stage-agent, Joe
McLeary. The next morning brought
no better success. Indeed, it is diff
cult matter to get information out of
a man who has had his head bandaged
in a towel or carries a newly famed arm
in a sling, or who is perchance, like
Henderson or Bowloe, confined to his
bed with aches and sprains and bruises.
SO sore a subject was the Thanksgiving
ball that strangers for months after

duce it as a topic of discussion.

TO Long Jake's history of the Thanks

and took off his old felt hat. The

gioomily rejecting upon the unkinS.
ness of fate that made her stay at home
the night of the ball, heard another
knock. This time it was Henderson
that the light of the candle shone upon,
and his face, too. gave evidence of IN
ward trouble. Miss higgins" said the
maid, has been gone quite awhileg She
went with another gentleman" Bob
by's face turned to flint.
Jim Bowloe did not find Miss higgins
at the dance. He felt relieved, for if
she had disappointed him, she had, at
least, not favored anyone else. And
so. having great regard for the repu-
tation of James Bowloe, esquire, he
affected an air of great enjoyment, and
to one or two inquiries regarding Miss
higgins, he shrugged his shoulders as
much as to say that that was subject
in which he was not interested. His
laugh was the loudest, his jokes the
most numerous, and his dancing the
| liveliest of all the company. Bobby
Henderson, coming down the street,
had no thought of the pleasures of the
ball. He was fully satisfied that Bow
loe was a thief and that he was the vic
tim of the robbery. AT the door of
the improvised ballroom he paused for
a moment, and then, in the whirl of
dancing figures one caught his eye and
he saw nothing else. His lip curled
/ scornfully. Bowloe the brave, 8ayh5e
the mighty, had stolen his clothes, but
was afraid to wear them! Straight
across the floor he strobe, needless of
the dancers rights, and in another mo-
ment Bowloe was gazing into the angry
| eyes of his partner. Then Henderson
| spoke. His tones were not loud, but
| his tense voice caused every dancer to
expressed in every word and gesture
held their attention.

In the moment of silence that fol-
lowed every man drew his breath and
turned his face squarely to where the
forms OF the partners stood statued in
the candle light, and every woman
shrank instinctively toward the door.
Rowloe's red face swelled darkly with
rage.
You scoundrel!" he shouted, as he
leaped forward. And then the trouble
began.
1t was well that it had been made the
unwritten law of Saints Rest that no
gentleman should carry weapon to
a social entertainment. for if it had not
been so. the population of the camp
would have been sadly less by sunrise.
AS it was, there were many private
scores 10 be paid off, many personal
grudges to be settled, and the popula-
ton of Saints Rest rose joyfully to the
occasion.

CHILEAN LABOR
The Government Must Act to Avoid
Revolution

NEW YORK, July "A special to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chill, says: If
the government does not soon take steps
to better the condition of the working
classes throughout Chilli there will be
a dark, despairing outlook in store for
them.
The Heraldo here says the closing of
the engineering establishments will
cause others to follow and leave more
than 1000 workingmen's families ex-
posed to hunger. 1t adds that this may
cause the paralyzation of several nitrate
establishments in Tarpaca province,
throwing 1900 men in the streets, and
causing the stoppage of all the building
work throughout Chilli. Workingmen
are preparing to hold monster meet
ing next Sunday to protest against the
delay of Congress in discussing the re-
form customs tariff law, that has been
submitted to that body. The working
men will also protest against the idle
political discussion in Congress on the
resolution of the government railway
directors to order five locomotives from
the United States, after having prom
ised to protect the national industries

A Prisoners Plea

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Pete1
Derrenbecker, convict at San Quentin
has sworn out a writ Of habeas corpus
in Marin courSy before Judge Carroll
Cook, who is now sitting in that county
for Judge Angellotti. In 1890 Derren-
becker was convicted in San Diego
county Of an assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to commit murder
and was sentenced to fourteen years
imprisonment. In support of the writ
of habeas corpus it is claimed that the
accused is held for two separate Of
fenses, xiz.: An assault with a deadly
weapon and an assault with intent to
commit murder. The, penalty for the
former offense is two years imprison-
ment and for the latter offense fourteen
years imprisonment. Derrenbecker
claims that the jury intended to con-
vict him of the latter offense and that
therefore, he is now entitled to be dis
charged from custody.

A BAD BOILER
The Puritan's Engines Have a Mar
row Escape

NEW YORK, July 2--Thirty men mar
rowly escaped death in the boiler room
of the monitor Puritan. That they were
not scalded to death is due to the pres
ence OF mind of one of the crew.
The Puritan is moored at the foot of
Main street, in the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
and has been undergoing repairs to her
boilers. The repairs had been COM
pleted and the men were only putting on
the finishing touches at the time of the
explosion. orders had been given to
start the fire under the boilers and get
up steam, 80 that the both engines and
boilers could be given a thorough test.
as the vessel had been ordered to go to
sea for target practice.
Engineers were in the engine-room
giving instructions to firemen, who
were there. Suddenly there waSa slight
Kissing sound of escaping steam in the
room, but the men continued work.
Then a sharp report and flood of hot
water and steam from one Of the boil
ers started them to their feet. In an
instant the room was filled with steam
that was so dense the men could scarcely
see.
When the first burst OF steam came
from the boiler August Wilson, the boiler
maker in charge, ordered the men to get
out of the room. Wilson was the last
one to get out, and while he was try
ing to find the entrance to the engine
rooms Chief Engineer Cowie of the Pur-
itan, who heard the report of the ex-
plosion, rushed into the room. Engineer
Cowie made several attempts to get at
the valves, but was held back by Wilson.
When the steam had nearly exhauted
itself the valves were closed, but not
until Cowie had been burned about the
head and neck.
The cause of the accident was found to
be the blowing out of the crown sheet
in one. of the boilers. 1t was miracle
the officers say, that none of the men
were killed or greater damage done to
the vessel. AS it is, the monitor will
have to remain at the yard for some
time, in order that the boilers can be put
in trim,

The Steamship officials Have Used

NEW YORK, July 2.-Passengers who
arrived here tonight on the steamship
Alliance tell a narrowing story of their
experience aboard the Pacific Mail
steamer City of Para, which left Pana-
ma for San Francisco, May 20 last. 1t
seems three days after clearing the
isthmus yellow fever broke out among
the crew and passengers of the Pacific
Mail liner, which caused panic aboard
and resulted in the death of the COM
mander of the vessel, Captain Marter-
sen. Three-fourths of the passengers
it is said were attacked by the disease
and at least a dozen Of them found
watery graves. When the vessel finally
reached San Francisco the facts of the
terrible voyage were suppressed and the
sickness and deaths were attributed to
tropical dysentery. But the passengers
who came here tonight say that the
symptoms were plainly those of yellow
fever.
The disease was raging on the isthmus,
but when the passengers went on board
the City of Para they were told by the
officer that they need have no fear.
There was no effort at fumigation, and
when Mrs Capt. Mitchell, the wife of
an Englishman commanding one of the
vessels of the Chilian line, appeared on
the City of Para, heavily yelled, there
was no uneasiness. Three days out she
died from the so-called tropical dysen-
terry. She was buried at sea, and the
next to be taken down was Capt. Mar
tersen. Before he died the fever had
spread all over the ship. In first cabin
and steerage alike the yellow death went
and how many were prostrated will
probably never be known. The officers
suppressed every scrap of news they
could, and DR.. Renzin insisted on his
original diagnosis. At Punta Arenas
the Echeveria family, one Of the richest
in Costa Rica, took passage on the City
of Para, not knowing that yellow Jack
was raging on board. The vessel pro-
ceeded on it's voyage. Up the coast
there were two or three funerals a day,
and those who were not affected were
panic stricken. After much pleading a
number of passengers were put ashore
at Corinto and San Jose de Guatemala.
1t is alleged that the officers of the
vessel supplied the passengers with
spoiled meat. and this is believed to have
added to the yellow fever spread. At
San Salvador a band came aboard, and
while the passengers were still sick and
dying the musicians gave five-hour con-
certs daily.

MODESTO TAX CASE
Proceedings Set Aside by the Trial
Judge

MODESTO. July 2.-On May 25 last
the trial of the Modesto irrigat ton tax
cases were taken up for trial in the
superior court before Judge Minor of
this country. The taking of evidence
required most of the time of the court
until last week when both sides agreed
to submit final arguments on briefs,
both sides being allowed twenty days
to do so. This morning Judge Minor
set aside and vacated all the proceed
ings on the ground that he was resi-
dent of the district and personally in
terested in the matter and feared that
his sitting in judgment might render
the proceedings Illegal. AT the COM
mencement of the suit Judge Minor
asked to be excused but at the request
of the attorneys on both sides presided
