cape from Suffocatiop

Frank B. Blish, a we'll know real es-
tate dealer who resides at 1941 South
Hill street, had. narrow escape from

ing, being found iu his office, No. 1O6
South Broadway, face downward, lying
partially over a gas stove, from which
the deadly vapor was escaping. He was
resuscitated in the receiving hospital
after several hours of hard work, by DR..
Hagan. and is now on the high road 10
recovery.
Mr.. Blish has for some time been sub
iect to sudden fainting spells, caused py
some weakness of the heart, and IL was
one of these which so nearly caused ms
death Yesterday morning. On comma
into his office Mr. Blish opened the COCK
of the gas stove and lit match TO start
the heater, as the office was quite emily
Just as he bent forward TO Apply tne
match he was stricken with MS. OLD maj
adv and fell unconscious across the
stove, still clutching the haiI-purhed
match in his fingers.
He was found in this position, nearly
dead from inhalation of the escaping
gas. and hurriedly removed to the re-
ceiying hospital on stretcner. Dr.
Hagan worked over the unconscious
form for two hours before ne revived,
but by the nocS hour he was able to
pronounce the patient out OF danger. Mr.
Blish had no recollection of how he
came in his predicament. only remem-
bering that he started to light the stove,
after which all was blank,
He was attended in the hospital by his
wife and nothing was left undone to
make him comfortable. AT late hour
last night he was resting easily and will
probably be able to be removed to his
home some time today.

MULTl.MURDERER DUNHAM
Said to Have Joined the lnsurge Mt S

Investigation Induces the Belief That
the Tale Is Hoax, Told for the
Sake of Notoriety.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. John w.
Green, a deserter from the British ship
Lord Elgin, which is now at Oregon
City, Ore. declares that the slayer of
the McGlincys escaped to Cuba. He
says that Durham sailed around the
Horn on the American ship st. John.
in which he left San Francisco as a
stowaway At New York Green asserts
Dunham embarked on the filibuster Ber-
muda for Cuba.
SIMPLY A HOAX.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. THE story
of the sailor, John w. c. Green. who,
according to a dispatch from Oregon
City, claims he saw Durham, the San
Jose murderer. on board the ship St
John, is probably a hoax. Green said
he shipped as second mate of the st.
John in this city. bound for New York;
that Durham had slowed himself away
and became a sailor for the voyage, and
then, on arrival at New York, shipped
on the fEiibuster steamer Bermuda for
Cuba.
man named John w. G. Green shipped
on the st. John. The real second mate s
name was w. b. Hurd, a man 55 years
of age. Green said he had stopped at
McMahon & McCarthy's boarding house.
The registers show that the only meIi
who shipped from their houses were E.
b. Smith, George Scott,W Wyatt and

CHARACTER IN THE HAIR

Red hair in men often goes with brains, and so many red-haired men have been successful that ''red-headed and smart has passed into a saying. Red-haired women, however, do not, as a rule, make tractable wives.
 Women with pale blond hair, of the colorless kind known as ash blond, are affectionate but impulsive, and easily moved to causeless jealousy and vio- lent demonstrations, but prone to for giving and forgetting. They are in- comparable as companions as long as they are humored, but will not stick to a companion in diversity.
 Dark brown hair is in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of one thou sand indicative of loyalty to a worthy object that cannot be shaken by i'll for tune.
 The coarseness or fineness of hair is thought to be a sure index of the anil mal as we'll as intellectual development. Heavy hair, like horse hair, is found on blacksmiths and gladiators. while pro- fessional men have hair that is fine all most to silkiness.
 Fine black hair in women shows a high-strung and sensitive disposition

wHITEBAIT ABOUT NEW YORK.
They Are Abundant in the Season, and
 Are as Playful as Kittens.

They Are Abundant in the Season, and
 Are as Playful as Kittens.
 l. It seems that not many persons are
 aware that the delicate Whitebait, which are considered such a delicacy In
 England, are natives of the waters hereabouts, and that at a certain sea-
 son they swarm in the inclosed waters about New York. They are the fry of the alewife, and during the latter part
 of the summer they are to be found in the harbor and the inlets and rivers
 connected with it in enormous numbers. They travel about in schools, and are apparently as playful as kittens. If you drift upon a shoal of this little fish they will let you approach until you can almost touch them, but if you make a single movement every little tail goes
 up with flash and they disappear.
 An idler, watching a school of white- bait on the Shrewsbury river one day last summer, saw them cutting up some amusing capers. A little stick had drifted into the middle of the swarm of delicate striped fishes. Presently one | little white bait darted out of the water and sprang clear over the stick. Then another went over it. Others followed, | leaping from the same side, and then
 another lot of them began leaping over the stick from the other side. Pretty soon the air in the neighborhood of the stick was alive with the fishes, some | leaping over 1t In one direction and some in another, and as the sunlight was caught and reflected from their sil- very sides and from the broken water that they threw up as they played it was sent forth in brilliant prismatic colors. The watcher drifted slowly nearer and the play was going on more furiously than ever, just under his eyes and not four feet away, when he incau- | tiously moved his head. There was one wild flash then and the game ended, | and 8 moment later there was nothing | left of the fish circus except the little | stick.-New York Sun.

HE WAS "AGIN THE DOG LAW"

Tn one of my races for congress" said Representative Cox, of Tennessee, at the Metropolitan, ''the lines were drawn tight between my competitor and myself, and the partisans of both were worked up to a pitch of excite ment in every county in the district. In some localities a good deal of bad feel ing had been engendered and personal difficulties were daily expected. One day when I was filling an appointment to address the people tall, heavy-built fellow with a bad eye and a general look as if he were out for blood came up to me and said in a loud and positive l tone:
 "'Cox, I want to have a little talk | with you
 'I knew that he was an active sup porter of my opponent, and also that he was man of determined character Wondering what he had to say to me, and withal being a little anxious on ac- count of his rough, not to say threaten l ing manner, I walked away with him to some little distance from the crowd. Then I stopped and told him I was
 ready to hear anything he had to say. l plain question to you, and if you an
 swer it square everything will be all
 right between us; if you don't every
 thing will be all wrong. Now, if you
 will promise me to vote ag'in that --
 dog law, I will vote for you and make
 all my friends support you. Is it a bar
 gain?"
 q assured him that if there was one measure that I hated worse than any
 other it was that odious dog law, and
 that when got to Washington I'd fight
 it to the death. He kept his promise
 and, as I afterward heard, worked by
 ally to help elect me. I don't know
 whether or not he got more light on the subject subsequently,, and discovered
 that it was the Tennessee legislature 1 instead of congress, that had jurisdic- ton over the dog law, but, anyway, if
 he ever found out his mistake he didn't
 reveal the fact to me. e."-Washington 1 Post.
