business and official experience to make
him of great value to the city as a member
of its legislative body.

he continued for many years, and then
had several years experience In general
merchandise establishment. He began his
public life as a member of the common
council from the Third ward many years
ago. having been elected on the Demo-
cratic ticket. He was reelected by an in
creased majority in a Republican ward.
which then comprised the Third and por-
tlOHS VI tHe anu lltH WdTus. MI.
Huber acquitted himself in the position
with great credit winning the esteem and
confidence of all classes of persons. At a
later period Mr.. Huber served seven years
as deputy sheriff of Los Angeles county,
as follows: Two years under ex-Sheriff II.
NJ. Mitchell, three years under ex-Sheriff
w. r. Rowland, and two years under ex-
Sheriff A. T. Currier present state.senator
from the Thirty-eighth senatorial district
of California. Mr.. Huber has been Senator
Curriers' agent and confidant for the past
fifteen years, and is now in charge of his
building on Third street in this city, known
as the Currier building.
While Mr.. Huber was in the sheriff's
office he accompanied hundreds of prs-
oners and insane persons to the northern
prisons and asylurss, manfesting such hu-
manity towards them as to win their re-
spect and gratitude, and with no escapes.
Mr.. Huber is known far and wide for his
goodness of head and heart, and is an espe-
cial favorite of all the "old timers" re-
gardless of party. who speak of him as one
of natures true noblemen. He will be

MARRIAGE MADE DIFFICULT.

The Temps, which Is not always seri-

illustrate the difficulties OF getting
married In France, says Pail Mall Ca
zette. A gentleman arrived with his
bride-elect to undergo the civil cere-
mony. Where" asked the official, SIS

mise?" "My dear sir" replied the
bridegroom, "there is my father, alive
and we'll" "But," retorted the other.
"your mother is dead, and she is re-
turned In the lists as q widow" The
bridegroom explained delicately that
his mother had run away from his ia
Their and preferred to give herself Out
for widow. But" he said, desper-
ately, my father is certainly aiver

dead. L cannot marry you without .

Hard enough, one thinks. But the
other case Is still harder. II happened
in Cayenne, where two convicts, em,l
ployed as servants by the goverRorl
got leave to marry. They went to the
marie, and the lady was asked II she
was a spinster or a widow. Widow, "
she said. "Well," said the official, ''but
have not the certificate OF your first
husbands death" Really" said tho
bride, 81 thought IL was not needed"
"Why, IL Is an Indispensable docu-
ment." The lady smiled. and referred
him TO the record of her conviction.
"You win perceive, sir, that / was sem
fenced f,r life for havinr nOisoned NV

ficicnt, in all conscience. Yet, as q

ness had to be postponed till the acte

ELECTRICITY AND LOVE.
now the Current Was Used 10 Check
the Course of she Ten
der Passion.

Here is a variation of the old story of
the true lovers and the cruel parent.
A progressing young woman, living
in the vicinity of Seventh and Tasker
streets, has q STEADY" and also IA
Their. The latter does not approve Of
the former, and is at no pains TO dis
guise his sentiments in the matter.
When expostulated with for receiving
the visits of the young man the heroine
protested that he came merely as a
casual caller. But the old man was sus-
picious, and he summoned 10 his aid
an electrical worker. At either end Of
the parlor sofa, underneath the cush-
ion, contact plates were fitted in such
a way that the weight Of ii person over
each one of the pairs Of plates would
close an electric circuit, ringing n
small gong in another part of the
dwelling. The popularity OF the ar
rangement was that both pairs OF
plates had to be brought into contact
In order TO complete the circuit, and
this could be effected only by two per-
sons occupying the sofa.
When the Objectionable Romeo made
his next visit everything was serene
until about 10:45, when the old folks
supposedly had retired. Then the tell
tale electric buzzer went of, and the
old gentleman with startling alacrity
presented himself at the parlor door.
What he saw shocked his old-fashioned
notions of propriety, for in his youth
young people were not permitted 10 sit
without large and yawning space be-
tween them, and this particular pair Of
young people sat very close together,
indeed. The employment Of modern
science In this instance TO dam up the
course of true love was a signal sue
cess. The poor girl, according to the
neighbors, is training on plain bakers
rolls and ice water, while the luckless
lover declares that "the old man
chucked such a scare into me that a
mogul locomotive couldn't drag me
within a mile of the house. "-Philadel-

WILL HUNT FOR AMBER.
Said TO De on nm Island on the
Alaskan Coast.

In search of a mine of amber, which,
if found, will make the members of
the party independently wealthy. an
expedition left Sitka a few weeks ago
for one of the islands off the Alaskan
coast, says the Seattle post-Intelli-
gencer. At its head was an old Rus
sian, Popoff by name, who for 30 years
has been trying to get some one with
money to send him in search of the
amber mine. His story is an interest
ing one. Some 30 years ago he was
sailor on board a Russian sealing YES
sci which was wrecked on one Of tho
small islands Off the Alaskan coast.
The crew managed to reach another
small island in the schooner's boats,
and nearly starved before a Russian
war vessel happened along and rescued
them.
While on the island they found guam
titles of amber and traced il to a big
ledge. The pieces of amber which they
had in their possession when taken on
board the warship we're taken away by
the officers. Popoff managed TO SNUG
gle one small piece away and has hung
TO it ever since, although he has been
all over the world during the years
that interviewed.
He tried many times to have an expe-
dition outfitted. but never succeeded.
During the recent mining excitement
in the north he got as far as Sitka,
where he became stranded. He con-
fded his secret TO few friends and
they furnished the money that out
fitted the party. Popoff goes with
them as guide and expects to be back
in Sitka within six months.

II have been popping seagull necks
popping them by the dozens, by the
hundreds. Fine sport. Never saw any

anything at all on the market for any
purpose whatever2 Ifitis, can make

Mr.. Green. being Intercepted more
closely - TO the nature Of this possi-
bly, profitable industry of popping sea-
gull ncclSs, explained; well. you see,
have been down on the gulf on a
lark. Have you ever noticed the sea-
gull dart down for q fish? A shot from
one OF those big guns we read about
does not dart with more terrific speed
or hit the water with greater force. IL
occurred TO me that this afforded a
chance to get some Of these boss fish
ermen and / tried the experiment, and
10 would have amazed you TO see how
It worked. I took n fish I had caught
and fixed him TO couple Of planlSs.
The planks I weighted so that they
would float just below the surface a
short distance. Above the planlss and
almost on n level with the surface os
the water / attached n fish so that IL
would have the appearance OF swim
ming. Now, these foolish birds, see
ing the fish and naturally expecting
that, like other fish, IL would make a
lunge TO get away, strike for IL with
q force greater than is sufficient TO
reach the fish where IL stands. In
each instance they struck my boards
with such terrific force that they
popped their neclSs. Ever try this?
Well, the next time you are out on the
gulf give IL n trial. You win be
amazed TO see the number Of gulis
you can kill in the course OF one even

TOLD BY THE OLD CIRCUS MAN
COncerning the Greatest
OF All Giants.


eve never ventured to tell you just
how tall the great giant was" said the
I'D circus man, simply because you
never would believe it if did, but you
can form some idea of his stature when
/ tell you that we used to set his table
for him across the top Of the bass drum
end of the band wagon, which was
about 16 feet above the ground. When
mealtimes came we'd draw the wagon
up for him to sit on, and he'd sit there
and eat away as jolly as you please.
Men used 10 carry his food up TO him
on ladders.
"The only drawback TO all this was
the tremendous expense OF feeding
linn. Talk about big eaters. Why,
gracious mel And all this time, as
often happens TO men, we had for
tune in this very thing, right within
our grasp and didn't know Il. It's a
wonder the old man didn't see IT, it's
the only thing ever knew him to miss,
but he didn't till somebody suggested
letting the giant eat his meals in the
ring.
"When they hauled the band wagon
In. the first night they tried 'his and
left il there. the audience didn't know
what to make Of Il, and Il was more
and more pulling TO 'em when they
saw the men put together upon II the
platform that served as the giants
table. But when they'd seen this table
set. and the baggage wagon hauled IN
and placed near IL for seat, and had
seen the great giant enter the ring.
they began TO realize what Il all meant.
"The giant would walk across aud
sit down on the roof of the baggage
wagon, and throw his feet out on the
ground, ono on either side of the band
wagon, and pick up from the table n
folded tablecloth that had been put
there for him for napkin, and shake
it out and lay Il across his knee, and
then he'd wait for 'em 10 bring up the
first of his food, and then he'd begin.
lie was a graceful eater. lie took n
quarter of a ham at a mouthful, but he
was just as dainty aboutit as could be.
"Draw? WHY, we couldn't find room
for the people under the canvas. And
then was killed the goose that laid the
golden egg. We'd had that fortune In
our hands and hadn't known It. and
now when we had discovered It and
were taking In so much money that we
had TO keep a man in the back end OF
The ticket wagon stomping II down,
we added a meal and had the giant out
four times n day instead Of three. The
result Of that was the giant got dys
pepsin. and for three months he never
showed at all, and we not only lost The
revenue that we should have gained
from exhibiting him, but the doctor
bill for doctoring u man OF that siz'
was so big that It busted the circus

Arabs Value WATER.

No one can travel among the Arabs
without being struck by the impor-
lance attached to the water supply.
Where a rich Englishman would be-
queath money 10 founding a hospital
or decorating a church, an Arab can
think of no other channel for his char
ity than the construction of foun-
tain which viii assure him the bless
ings of all future generations. The
Arabs have a curious characteristics In
common with horses and other AMI
mails. They prefer stagnant water,
however bad in smell and appearance,
to the most linpid running water,
which, they assert, generally contains
disngreeable medicinal properties.
