Away From Consumption.
Bob Isom, the noted colored jockey,
passed away in this city yesterday from
consumption. His demise occurred al II
Park avenue and his body now lies at
McEvoy's undertaking parlors at 1875

Isom was but IS years of age. and was
first brou ht before the public some three
years ago, when he pllo ted the horses Of
Colonel Jack Chinn. He soon bIossomed
forth as one of the most promising riders
of the West but an attack OF pneum oni n

grippe made inroads on his weakened
constitution, and continued i'll health kept
him out of The saddle OF late.
His last engagement was with A. B.
Spreckels, and in the hopes OF improving
the little colored lads health that turf

inocuIation to which he was afterwsrd
subjected.

A MYSTERIOUS DECLINE.
Sudden Depression in the Price
of New Gas and Electric
Shares.
Cause of the Falling Off Not Obvious
Rumor of New Discoveries in
Generating Light.

A depression in the price of San Fran
cisco gas and electric stock has caused con-
siderable comment on the street and led
TO speculations concerning the cause. The
drop cannot be accounted for by any
known reason. II is surmlsed by some of
the brokers that rumors of further ac-
duisition of rival interests, whereby the
property of the Mutual Electric Company
may be purchased have had something
to do with the decline.
Compicating incidents of the situation
come in the form of kilograms from New
York. Recently resident brokers have
been advised to sell stock belonging TO
parties in the East.
There is much ak about new inven-
tions and recent discoveries in cheap M eth.

for streets and houses. Great store is laid
on recent patent for generating light,
and rep p-esentatives of the new discovery

The Reliance football team will go to
Palo Alto this afternoon to play practice
game on the University campus with the
Stanford team.
Both teams are still sore after their ter

On Friday the Stanford football squad

players got their final practice last season
and where they Will nave about four days

The Stanford players are indignant at

Sartwell and the masters. and when they
hear that he came out alone tonight while
they were guarded by twelve policemen
they'll be more angry than ever If there )
any spirit in either of them.
Now, what you must do tomorrow Is TO

not to cause any ill-feeling, under the

all make mistakes one time or another.

That's right-thats right. l am very

Sartwell be careful not to say anything

How Two Girls Nnde ,youev

"a country girl who is determined to go
to Paris to study art is laying aside for this
purpose each dollar she has earned" writes
Ruth Ashmore in an article on 1.-The Girl in
the Country" in the January Ladies' Home
Journal. "She found that there was no
one else in the village who could make as
good bread and biscuit as she; that those
who had to buy complained of the bakers
bread. She made no effort at sending her
bread to woman's exchange, as she knew
that such places were always overstocked
but she went through her own town-a
very small one-and asked for orders. She
is making money because there has never
been a sad loaf of bread or a heavy bis
cult sent out from her kitchen. She will
supply neighbor with hot biscuits at tea
time, and she has learned to make dainty
rusk, especially for invalids, who enjoy
these light, sweet dainties. Her prices
are reasonable.
Another girl, ambitious to gain some
thing, got her father to let her have a bit
Of ground, and to give her the money that
he would otherwise have bestowed upon
her for a wedding dress. With this she
was able to buy plants and to hire a boy
to help her, and during the summer, while
the boarding houses around demanded
them, she served the freshest of radishes
the crispest of lettuce, the earliest corn,
and the largest tomatoes, and she says
now that she thinks she will double the
size of her garden next summer"
