FROM THURSDAYS DAILY.

FROM thursdays DAILY.
1t began last night.
The town was full of strangers and
was buzzing like bee hive. At every
corner refreshment stands were going
up and at nearly every store the FIN
ishing touches were being gwen to
decorations. Along the streets the
gas torches erected by individuals
and frms were flaming, and at inter-
walls the "Big Gun" through which
rushed and roared the whole volume
of gas from a $4,000, 600 well, with a
pressure of $50 pounds, cast its terri
flying glare over the whole tewn.
Now and then the whistles added
their voices to the tumult, shrieking
and wailiDg in a chorus that put a
full stop to all conversation anywhere
within four blocks of the square.
AT three O'Clock this morning it be-
gan again. First the deep diapason
of the great Smelter whistle, then the
piercing screams of those OF higher
pitch, Even at that unearthly hour
those that were thus rudely awak-
ened heard voices on the street and
the rattle of wagons on their way to
the Park. At six o'clock the town
was as lively as it usually is at 8. At
7o'clock the wagons began to come in
from the country, most of them going
directly to Riverside Park in the hope

CAN THIS BE TRUE7

Women Admire Only Those Men Who
Can Boss Them.
In every woman there is a peculiar
sentiment which she can not analyze,
yet which she must acknowledge ex-
lists. This sentiment, if defined, is
nothing more nor less than her respect
for the man who shows himself to be
her master, says the Philadelphia
Times. She may sit up in feminine ar
rogance and declare that she won't
stand this and won't stand that; that
she would just like to see any man tell
her what she should or shouldn't do,
but when the time comes for clash
of wills, unless she finds herself decid-
eddy and ANONYMOUSLY defeated, she
isn't satisfied. OF course there will be
lots of women who read this who will
declare it to be rank heresy; but it isn't;
1T is the truth, and it is right that it
should be so. In every union happi-
ness exists only when the woman has
reason to respect the man, and she can
only possess such an attitude toward
him when he has proved that he will
be the dominating power. This is no
plea for wife heaters or other similar
ly brutal men who endeavor to prove
their mental superiority by an exhibit
ton Of physical power. The strongest
men, the athletes, the giant framed
compounds of might and muscle, are
proverbially the gentlest with women,
yet their latent strength wins woman's
admiration as much because of her own
unacknowledged willingness to be the
slave, while he is the master, as because
of its absolute physical perfection. The
more brain woman has the happier
she is to be made to feel her dependence
on the strong arm and the masculine
Judgment of her husband or lover. Just
as soon as she settles questions, makes
plans for him, plays fast and loose
with him and generally feels and
conducts herself as though she were
| the mightier atom, then she has lost
respect for him and happiness for her
self. It is all very well to talk OF
woman's progress, her intellectual adj
| vancement. her equality with man and
| all the other ideas than our rich and
! rare civilization has engendered, In the
| affairs Of intimate heart relationship
| the woman wants to acknowledge man
as her master and isn't really happy
when he is willing to be anything else.

SOMETHING NEW IN FICTION.

A Style sugee sted by the Great Electro
cal Transmission Lines.
A nomadic electrical engineer and
inventor, recently returned from the
Pacific coast, relates the following
story, in the Electrical Engineer: "A
few weeks ago a great American eagle,
which had been born and brought UP
In California, and was, therefore,, a
sound-money advocate, was making a
visit in the vicinity of Fresno, Cal.
While he was waiting around on the
mountainside for his friends to appear
he became weary and decided to alight
IN some convenient place for an inter-
val of rest. He happened to land on
one Of the barb wires of the electric
transmission line coming down from
the mountains into Fresno. While en-
joying his siesta all eagle came along
whom the California bird at first mis-
took for one of his friends. The
stranger also made the mistake of sup
posing that the California eagle was
a friend of his, consequently he aligh.-
ed on another wire of the transmits
sion line directly opposite and began
conversation. In the course of the
talk it was discovered that the new
conner was a Nevada bird. and conse-
Quently rabid free-silverite. It is
much the same with the feathered
things Of the air as it is with human
beings; that is to say, that the course
Nv fSs
politics and from that to discussion
of the money question. The crisis
came when the birds passed from
words to blows. The man who saw
the fight is not exactly certain in his
own mind who struck first, but he is
positive that when the beaks of the
two eagles met the only thing that
he could see was cloud of smoke and
fash Of lightning. Closer investiga-
ton revealed the fact that immedi-
ately under the perches formerly oc
cupied by the two eagles were two
pairs o. claws, two beaks and severa!
bushels of scorched and pungent feath-
ers scattered over the scenery. The
puff Of smoke iGclude,, the balance Of
the remains. But here is where the
real damage was done. When these
two eagles crossed their bills they
short-circuited the line and caused
an arc, which was maintained for somo
minutes, between the two opposite
sides Of the line. until the copper was
melted through and the circuit was
broken. A search party was sent forth
to discover the cause Of the lack OF
electric power in Fresno, and It was
several hours before the damage was
repaired. The linemen who straighten.
ed out the tangle have preserved tbs
beaks and claws Of the birds and sew
eral Of the feathers found on the
ground. This is all the proof that any
sane man would require as to the actu-
al occurrence have descrihe :
