and the painter attached to the house
and the man in charge Of the supply
room. These men are supposed to be
able to make good almost any breaks in
woodwork or damage to furniture and
paint. Somewhere in the hotel, per-
haps away up under the roof, perhaps
away down in the basement, the paint
er, carpenter and upholsterer have
shop which is fitted with all the tools
of their trades, and the supply room is
"a regular magazine of furniture, carpets
and rugs, curtains and material. 1t is
the business of these men promptly to
make any and all repairs aud renewals
the housekeeper may order, and good
part of her time is taken up every day
in giving instructions to them.
If she has time after the guests
rooms have been inspected and thor
oughly set to rights, the housekeeper
should go through the quarters of the
"help'' every day, or nearly so, since
she is as responsible for that part of the
house as any other. She is also re-
sponsible for the conduct of the girls
while on duty, and unless she is able to
maintain the most perfect discipline she
rule no talking is allowed among the
girls when they are on duty. 1t has
been found to lead to arguments and
scraps. The housekeeper has to see that
they do their work without stopping to
gossip in corridors. In some hotels a
chambermaid caught talking is dis
charged. In this respect the housekeep-
er is not unlike the roundsman of the
| police force. After work has ended for
the day the girls are allowed to go to
their rooms, and the housekeeper trou-
bles them no more, unless there is a
| fight among them, as sometimes happens
in the best regulated hotels In such a
case it is the housekeeper who must
quell the battle. No one else will have
anything to do with her employees.
1t is the housekeeper, too, who must
look after the morals and the personal
appearance of the girls. She must see
that they are safely tucked away in bed
at certain hour each night. No girl
may stay out late at night without q
pass from the housekeeper. Even with
such pass girl will not be admitted
to the hotel later than midnight. Girls
have been known through a collision
with bell boy to slip in late at night
without being seen by the housekeeper,
but if the latter is woman who knows
her business she will checkmate thi:
move and discharge the girl. Very like
ly the conniving bell boy will get hi!
walking papers at the same time.
| Salaries of hotel housekeepers vary, O.
course. One hundred collars month
with board and really handsome apart
ments, is the highest housekeeper' wag'
1 know of, and the range i'll first elias
hotels is from $50 up.

There is no single member of the

as it does upon the steward or the chef.

ROMANCE OF TACOMA.
Eiopsd With Poor Man Two
Years AGO.

TACOMA, WASH, Jan 3.-The sequeI to
an interesting elopement of two years ago
last June came yesterday, when divorce
was granted to Mrs. James H. Dege,
daughter of ]. ). Westbrook, capitalist.
1t is understood that ever since her mar
riage, when several years under iler ma
jority, Mrs. Dege's parents have been en-
deaYoIing to persuade her TO leave her
husband and return to the parental house.
The divorce was secured very quietly,
and it was greatly desired by those most
interested that it be kept secret. Its an
nouncement to-day caused no less surprise
than did the elopement. The action was
based on alleged incom patibility.
Miss Westbrook was surrounded by
every comfort which wealth could procure
when Mr.. Dege commenced calling al her
home. He was then clerk at Gross Bros,
but soon afterward became teller in the
newly organized Commercial Bank.
In the spring OF 1893 he accompanied
Miss Westbrook to Trinity Church one
Sunday, and .afterward they were married
by Rev. Dean Richmond Babbitt. Thev
took wedding trip and seemingly paid
no attention TO the anger of the stern
parents, whose shock on first hearing OF
the marriage led them TO express their
dislike for Mr.. Degc in very strong terms.
They hoped their daughter would repent
ana return to her home, but expressed no
desire to receive their son-in-law.
Later Mrs. Dege and her parents became
reconciled and were frequently seen to-
gether in public. 1t was generally sup
posed that Mr.. Dege also had been taken
into the family, though at the time of the
eIopement Mr.. and Mrs. Westbrook de-
cIared he should never receive q cent oil
their money or property. In adherence
10 this declaration 1t seems quite certain
now that they have gradually induced
their daughter to seek a divorce. 1t is
generally believed that she would have
been disinherited had she done otherwise.
Mr.. Dege is employed at the People
store, and will this month secure place
at the courthouse under the incoming
Democratic Assessor.

Unusual Activity at the

Station.
Quantities of Supplies Received
Within the Past Few
Days
Vessels Now Idle Are Being Mad

Notice.

VALLEJO. CAL, Jan. 3.-There a
evidences of unusual activity at the Mare
Island Navy-yard. One OF the best indi-
cations that something is doing" with
the powers at Washington is the appro-
priation of large sums of money to man
the ships and increase the fighting forces.
Many awards OF contracts have been made
at Washington in the past few days for
supplies for repairs on the warships and
buildings at Mare Island. Evidently it is
the desire OF the WASHINGTON department.
to follow the old adage, SIN time of peace
prepare for war;"
Thirty thousand gallons OF sperm and
lubricating OILS have recently been re-
ceived at the navy-yard for use on the
ships of war. Such an immense quantity
has never been received at one time since
the station was located at Mare Island.
at the time of the Chilean episode. out
siders had no knowledge of what was
going on until barges began to arrive with
thousands of tons of coal on board. 1t
soon became apparent that these large
supplies were being stored for a purpose,
and those who remember the activity in
naval circles at that time believe that the
supplies now being received at the yard
are evidence of sudden determination 10
give some of the now IDLE cruisers and
men-of war something to do. What their
destination will be is, of course, not
known.
The Baltimore and Charleston can be
made ready for sea within a few weeks.
The Petrol is taking on coal and provi-
sions and is expected TO go to sea the lat
ter part OF the week. The Adams is at the
yard to be docked at once. In short
time it will return to San Francisco as a
temporary training-ship.
The carrier pigeons at the Mare Island
yard are being practiced daily in flights
from various points back to their cotes.
This innovation will be found very eff
cient should the services of the swift birds
be required in the transmission of mes
sages from sea to land In time of war.

PORTLAND CROOK RISKS LIFE.
Pianges into the Water After an Out
going Steamship and Is Hauled
Abonrd

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 3.-A daring and
successful attempt to swing himsel aboard
the outgoing California bound steamship
State OF California by means of a rope was
made last night by H. J. Lusk, an ex-con-
vict who had become too we'll known to
the authorities to permit him to further
operate here. Shortly before the steamer
cast its lines Lusk was seen on the dock
by Detectives Welsh and Simons, whom
he told that he was going to San Francisco
to locate permanently. The officer in
charge OF the slip knew Lusk, and as he
failed TO exhibit ticket he refused to
allow him on the gang-plank.
Lusk bore look of dismay, but he
frightened the straps of his small valIse
securely about his left arm and as the
steamer swung from its berth he rushed
to the edge of the dock; shouting Throw
me linel'
In the traction of second about fifteen
feet OF rope was flung from the lower deck
OF the steamer and was nimbly caught by
Lusk. he had no time to fasten it about
his waist, but being powerful man he
c!utched 1t in both hands and swung off.
The next instant Lusk dropped into the
water and his body bumped up against
the sides OF the huge steamer with thud
that could be distinctly heard on the dock.
He lost his hat, which foated away with
the current.
cry of horror went UP from hundreds
who had witnessed this scene, every body
believing the intrepid man to have been
crushed to death by his violent collision
with the steamer But dozen hearty
deckhands pulled Lusk aboard. That he
was not much hurt was evident, as from
the dock he could be seen hurrying to a
place of concealment the moment he was
aboard. 1t was the unanimous sentiment
ashore that such an exhibition of courage
deserved gratuitOus cabin passage.

Rate WAR At EUREKA.
Rivai Steamship Companies contendng
for the Control of Northern
California Trade

EUREKA, Call, jan. 3.-With the COM
pletion of the new steamer Humboldt the
people of this county are looking forward
to rate war, which cannot but benefit
them. This benefit wall be manifested in
reduced rates of fare and freight and
quicker and better service between Eureka
and San Francisco.
The opposing powers in this war for
traffic will be the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company of San Francisco and the Hum
boldt Steamship Company of Eureka, and
the weapons will be the frst-named COM
pany's steamer Pomona, one of the finest
and fastest boats on the coast, and the
new Hum boldt of the latter company,
which is expected to be the Pomona's S
equal if not its superior in appointments
and speed.
The new steamship will probably not be
ready to take Its place on the route before
February, but the San Francisco COM
pany has already taken the Initiative and
in manner forced the fight. 1t is gen.
orally understood here that the combina-
tion which existed between the two COM
panles while the old Humboldt was on the
route will obtain no longer, and that it
will be each company for itself, although
they may unite against their common
enemy, the steam SehooHers, that have
made such inroads on the trade.
The first move by the San Francisco
company was to announce change of
agents here, which went into effect on
New Years dav. John r. Baird sue
ceeded H. P. Riddle, an old employe of
the company, who has had the agency
here for the past eight years. Mr.. Baird
was formerly agent for the old Humboldt,
is native of Eureka is thoroughly famil-
lar with the steamship business here and
is popular with the shippers and travelling
public. The next move was the making
of Improvements about the warehouse and
wharf here to facilita te the handling OF
freight, and then came the announcement
