BEWARE OF GREEN TEA.

1T is an abomination and a fraud. In
the first place it is the unripe leaf, and
bears the same relation to the real ar
ticle, that the green does to the ripe
peach. The green tea of commerce de-
riyes its rare color from being cured or
rather killed, in dirty copper pans, from
being mixed with roots and shrubs,
from being stained with indigo, and
chrome yellow from being colored with
verdigris, grass juice or chlOrOphyl.
Every green dye known to commerce
has been used to produce that much ad-
mired, but death dealing color, except
pehaps Paris green. AS soon as the
use Of that poisonous substance will
give a profit Of a cent pound, no
doubt it viii be literally used by the mer-
cenary Monaghan merchants, and the
much more mercenry cultured European
tea trade"

British Columbia to Buy Gold.

Recently deputation of Victoria
business people waited on the PROVING
ial Government and requested that the
Government should make arrangements
for the purchase Of gold from return
ing Klondlkers. 1t was pointed out
that the absence of such facilities caus-
ed the loss of q good deal OF trade to
the Province, and as the Government
assay Office WAS equipped with all the
necessary apparatus for ascertaining
the value Of the dust offered for sale, it
could be very beneficially put to use
for this purpose. The Premier's reply
was that he was not sure that the Gov
eminent had power to make these pur-
chases. Since that time, however, it Is
understood that the Government has
found method by which the proposals
OF the business men and miners may be
met, and that before long it will be put
in operation. Mining Critic.

pearance and possible murder OF Geo.
Bowman, of Bridgeport, Conn.,, as pub

San Francisco Chronicle publishes a
statement by one J. c. Sachs, who has
just returned from the Klondike; in
which he states his partner E. +.
Calhoun, of Yonkers, N. Y, and him
self came on the party to which the
murdered man and his partner belonged
during storm. They were travelling
to Dawson with light packs. After
leaving them he happened to look back
and saw johnson place the revolver to
Bowman's head and fire. The latter
died without struggle. johnson SEEM
ed half crazed, and as he fred shouted:
'"Take that,-you. You are no
good, anyway" Calhoun went for his
gun, but when he returned johnson was
gone. Bowman's papers and valuables
were gathered up and sent East. Moth
ing was ever heard of johnson. 1t is
presumed he persisted in the storm
while trying to escape.

Marketing the Product of a Gold
Mine.

Gold mining. compared with the
mining OF other metals Is unique In
several respects, and for the same rea-
son 1t possesses greater attraction for
the investment Of capital than other
branches of the industry. Being the
highest standard OF value, its price does
not fall like other trade commodities,
but an increased demand has the effect
OF causing it to rapidly appreciate in
value above the standard price. AS the
market is always ready to absorb any
amount produced, no difficulty is ex-
perienced in finding purchaser. The
gold miner never has to contend with
an overstocked or dull market, as he
can exchange the refined product OF
his mine for coin in the shortest time
possible that it takes to effect q trade
or sale between parties. The ease with
which the product OF either large or
small gold mine can be transported to
market no matter how rough or mac
cessible the road or country through
which it has to be transported may be,
also tends to make gold mining most
desirable occupation. The expense
compared with the sale OF all other
minerals, effects saving to the gold
miner which no other producer enjoys.
No troublesome freighting by teams or
railway freight rates have to be con-
sidered in marketing the product Of
gold mines. These are some of the
reasons why gold mining at the present
time has received more than ordinary
attention from capital.
The increased demand for gold, as
compared with that of silver as med
ium of exchange, has appreciated the
value Of gold as compared with the pre-
sent value Of all other products OF labor,
which have deprecated in value. Gold
mining. for these reasons: is the most
aristocratic branch of the mining in
dustry, when the important question of
ore supply does not tax the ability of
the mine manager, hence the present
demand for large low-grade mining
properties.-M Mining and Metallurgical
Journal.

FASHIONS FRILLS.

Velvet is destined to play An import
ant part next season in dressmaking
and millinery.
Passementeries have airy, open de.
signs, chenille effects and brilliant
colorings in spangles, beads and tinsel.
Bright colored silks are used to en-
broider small flowers, such as viOlets
and daisies on white cambria handker-
chiefs.
The fancy waists for next season will
be quite elaborate and intricate in their
effects and trimmings as are those OF
the summer.
A new idea in handkerchiefs is to sell
them in q series of seven, one for each
day in the week; the name of each is
embroidered in white on differently
colored cambria for each day.
Gilt and silver spiral wire and alum
mum spangles are literally used. Flow
ers in silk embroidery are raised by
padding and covered with gold netting.
Violet, light green and turquoise colors
are prominent.
Young women with slim waists draw
wide black liberty satin sashes twice
around the body knot the streamers
once and pin with jeweled breach.
The knot may be placed at any point
on the waist line.
The novelty in umbrella heads has
taken step toward reviving the old
style of hammered silver in pompadour
designs of various round shaped heads.
These are mounted on hardwood and
are both artistic and attractive.
The new trimmings show conclusiv-
ley that plain gods will be the vogue
Of the future for some time to come.
The prominent feature of these is that
they will afford the necessary color to
the somber hues of the plain materials
on which they are to be applied.
The airy yokes. vests, chemisettes,
glumps and plastrons will merely be
changed for those of rich brocade.
plain and fancy velvet. tucked and
shirred silk, or satin embroidered
woods sheer as India textiles, and count
less other rich and effective materials
appropriate for the season.
In garnitures the fronts in black net
are much in evidence with floral, spray
and bow knot patterns, showing jewels,
pearl cabochons, steel, aluminium and
gilt thread, beads, plain and aridescent
spangles. motifs in mousseline and gold
net, appliqued on the black, and richly
shaded chenille for flowers and leaves.
The newest petticoats for everyday
wear are of silky looking checked al
pacas. Petticoats OF colored lawn
pink, cream, blue, lilac. green and red
are sold to wear under muslin frocks.
They are made in various degrees of
excellence. Some have single wide
frill at the foot, others are ornamented
with three ruffles and bands OF lace in
sertion.
An extremely pretty gown for slen-
der woman is of black dotted tulle over
which MORE, with applications of black
lace outlining the apron front. The
bodice is made in jacket form, with q
short basque and wide revers. The
jacket is encircled by the white NOUS
seline de sole. A vest Of pale amber
colored mousseline and big cravat
bow at the throat is soft and pretty
finishing touch.

Dixon's New Hat Store.

The many friends of MT s. w. Dix on, the popular natter, will be pleased to learn that he has severed his con- nection with the Emporium and has opened an elegant new hat store at 767 Market street, opposite the Phelan building.
 Always alive to the demands of the public in his line, Mr. Dixon ofrers superior quality of hats at popular prices. He has complete stock of the most reasonable goods direct from the best Eastern manufacturers. MT. Dix on. contrary to the prevailing custom is ready to take a reasonable profit on a volume of sales, instead of deman1- inc while goods are new a price for style and reputation. that as soon as shop worn dealers are accustomed to sell for half price. A speciality is made of $1, s2 and s3 hats. The reputation for reliability in his business methods s enjoyed in the past by MT. DlXon IS an assurance of further success In his new departure.

to the Populists with the compliments of Mir Afford and the rest of them. l want to say right here that when 1t comes to that proposition there will be one voice raised against 1t, and that will be the voice of w. w. Foote. l intend to fight for the proposition of nominating a straight Democratic ticket from top to bottom and then, if any of these small fry parties want to come in and play in our back yard, there will be time enough left to talk about terms. That is where l stand on this question and l believe that every good Democrat in the State is If the same opinion.
 As to the manner in which the rul- ing power in the State Central Conn mittee has been dictating the affairs of the Democratic party of this city l propose to have a word to say when the matter comes before the State con- vention. A full explanation of the mat ter may open the eyes of Democrats of the State and permit them to see the manner and methods of the men who have taken 1t upon themselves to prepare a programme and are asking the convention to assist them in mak- ing the Democratic party the tail to the Populist kite.
 MT Foote was elected a delegate at large from Alameda County few days ago. When he was informed of the fact he declared his intention of refus- ing to serve, giving as his reason that he did not propose to take hand in the deliberations of a body the action of which had been anticipated by set of self-a appointed bosses. M. F. Tar pey, who is also one of the three dele gates at large from Alameda County, was of the same way of thinking as MT. Foote. He declared that he would not serve because he could not support the cut-and- d-dried fusion arrangement that had been prepared and was to be served up at the convention. Party leaders from all parts of the State have importuned both gentlemen to lay aside personal scrupleS and go to Sacra- mento and assist in the fight that is to be made against the bosses.
 T shall probably go to the conven- tfon," said MT. Tarpey yesterday, but if I do so it will only be because I be- lieve it to be my duty as Democrat to lend such aid as l may in fighting against condition of things that seems to me to threaten the very life of the party. This so-called fusion arrange ment was entered into by set of men who have ignored the welfare of the party and the wishes of its members, and who have apparently used their self delegated power to further some private or individual ends.
 T believe that we should do what is right regardless of what the immediate consequences may be- for it Is better to be right and lose than to gain an advantage by unfair means. And right here let me say that I am opposed first, last and all of the time to the proposi- tfon that has been enforced in this city regarding the appointment of delegates to the State convention by a set of men who were themselves appointed and were given authority without con sulting the wishes of the members of the party which they profess to govern. These men now propose to appoint

w. w. Foote, M. F. Tarpey and H. T. Fort man Score the Methods of the
 fsPee-Wee'' Politicians.

The disgust that is felt by a major ity of the Democrats of the State on account of the manner in which half dozen members of the State Central Committee have sold the party out to the Populists after having stolen con- trol of the party organization in this city has at last taken the form of a set purpose that bids fair to make the meeting of the State Convention an event long to be remembered in the political history of the State.
 The men who have for years been the bulwarks of the Democratic party In the State. and who have the confidence and respect of all good citizens of whatever political belief, have come to a realization of the fact that if the party is to. be saved from disruption and utter ruin they must come forward and lead the movement that will rid the organization of the McNabs, the Peppers, the Affords and the Goulds who now have 1t by the throat. Such well known Democrats as W. w. Foote, M. F. Tarpey and H. T. Fort man have identified themselves with this movement, and with them are as sociated the majority of the old line

Democrats and the rank and file of the party from one end of the State to the other. These gentlemen are outspoken in their condemnation of the action of the self-appointed dictators who went to Sacramento at the time the pinto Populist Convention was In session. and there, without any other authority than that which they had delegated to themselves, entered into an agreement with the Populists whereby the Demo- cratic party was robbed of every place on the State ticket worth speaking of. Not content with this these same dic- tators are trying to force their hand made programme down the throats or the Democratic voters of the State, and in order to do so they are in the act of disfranchising 30,000 voters in the city of San Francisco.
 ''The action of Afford and. Gould and McNab and their associates is the most high-handed proceeding that have ever heard Of," said MT. Foote yester- day, and do not propose to counte- nance it. It is a disgrace to the party and an insult to every self-respecting Democrat in the State of California

 Ut came about through rainy day on Broadway. Miss Bouton's maid was hurrying past the Hoffman House to reach the elevated station, when her foot slipped. There was wild effort to balance herself, she fell, and then gave a cry of pain. All this happened inst as Baron von Nimptsch was being driven down Broadway in his carriage on his way to his office in the Empire building. He saw that she was seri- ously hurt, and taking her in his arms he carried her to nearby drug store. There a doctor was summoned and it was found that the maids ankle was badly sprained. There was no possi- bility of her walking, and for her to try to get home alone was out of the question. The gallant Baron placed his

 By reference to the Almanach de Gotha it Is learned that Baron Guido von Nimptsch Is the son of the Coun- tess Francoise Hatzfeldt and Paul Von Nimptsch of Jaeschkowitz, Tschlrne and Janowitz in Silesia, who were mar. ried in 1849 He is about AZ years or age.

One member of the Democratic commit tee of 100 has shown marked disapproval of the rule established by that body. which seeks to deprive the Democrats of San Francisco of the right to name dele gates to the State convention
 R. P. Doolan went before the meeting of the Thirty-first Assembly District Democratic Club last night and informed his fellow members that as a member of the committee of 100 he proposed to break a rule of that committee or words to that effect, by relinquishing to the Democratic club of the district the right to choose
 ten of the eleven delegates to the State convention, to which the district Is en- titled Whereupon MT. Doolan was ap- plauded. He proposed, however. to keep the list within the membership of the club, and announced his intention of se- lecting his appointees from the list direct ly 1t was presented to him, so that if there should be any objection made 1t could be made before the committee of 100 got a chance at it. He proposed to let his club actually name the dele gates.
 then he was interrupted by an outsider, who was denounced. and who declared
