several offers of large salaries from other
denominations to preach for them. but
she had refused all, prefsrring to remain
with thu Friends and 60 where she felt

NATURAL WOODS IN suooIEs
They May Largely Suppiant the Old
 Style Painted Vehicle.

The conventional black-painted buggy will have sharp competition next season by the revival of the de mand for natural woods. Already many of the buggy manufacturers have laid in large stocks of fine woods. and are making them up in a large number of light pleasure vehicles fol single horses Many samples are shown in windows around the city, and the boulevards give promise of having hght-eolored rigs galore fol neyt year The woods are highly pol fsaed and in beauty will compare with the handsomest pianos. Birch. birds, eye maple and oak will be the woods most generally used, because, while they finish beautifully, they are the cheapest. The oak will be stained in some instances, giving it the rich gold and darker shades. Mahogany and beech are the kinds selected by those who prefer the deep rich red shades. Mahogany also gives considerable va riation in color, that portion near the heart being darker than the part close to the bark of the tree. Careful match Ing of the shades produces a charming effect. Ash and poplar augment the yellow shades. Hard maple has a good even dark color and walnut ranges from dark to light. One order has been placed for red cedar and it is said to be coming out of the prepara- tory courses a remarkably handsome production. By far the handsomest wood that can be used, in my opinion, y said an experienced Wabash avenue buggy maker yesterday, "is the syca- more, and there will be number of Wisconsin years ago, and I believe it Was the prettiest piece of wood I ever saw, and the eoloring and shading is most brilliant. Itjs of light red color, and good piece, well finished. gives the idea of flames. or sometimes like the sunshine on dancing water Such piece of wood, passing rapidly before the eyes in a good bright light, will make any one admire it, while the more sentimental will be in faptures. Cypress is much like the sycamore. fanny and reddish, but not quite so brilliant Rosewood and Gfrcassian and French walnuts are magnificent and will be used in many. In these buggies the dash as we'll as the body will be of the finest pieces that we can get, and we expect to have the most beautiful buggies in Chicago next year that can be found anywhere. There is no reason why the buggy should always be black-no more than there Is reason person should always wear black clothes, and a natural wood buggy. in addition to it's fine appear ance, is cheaper to keep and requires little work to keep it clean. Even when dirty it is presentable. Chi cage Chronicle

WONDERFUL cEysER AT WORK
California Spouter That Throws Water
 800 Feet In the Air.

From the Scientific Ameriean. The people of southern California have re- gently been favored with one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of nat ural phenomena on record-one which has even astonished beyond measure ment all classes of a community fla miliar already with instances of what nature can accomplish when 1t sets out to do something out of the common. Southern Californians are so used to shocks of earthquakes. incipient volca- nces, or threatened tidal waves that it takes something extremely eruptive to es.f' } their ordinary composure, but .s s3a 'ecssful effort of a rural rancher search for water with which to
 e his fields, parched with a long degth, has turned the gaze of the Whole state toward the little town of Whittier,a hamlet located in the neigh borhood of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago a farmer named Myers, living at Santa Springs, began sinking an ar tesian E...l. pthers in the neighborhood had successfully tapped subterranean flow at depths of from 300 to 100 feet, and MT. Myers hoped for a successful issue to his enterprise. By slow stages the drills descended until a depth of 300 feet was attained This was on Sun day, May H. drill weighing 200 pounds was employed and the prospect of tapping good flow of water was be- coming more and more encouraging. A ten-ineh pipe had been sunk some dis tance, and the usual preparations made for controlling the flow when it did make it's expected appearance The heavy drill was working with it's usual monotonous regularity, when, after one deep plunge, a loud roaring sound was heard coming from the well, aecompa- nied by jets of muddy water and out bursts of heavy stones. Soon after the drill itself made it's appearance, fol- lowed by grand column of water. which forced itself higher and higher until the top reached an elevation of 500 feet The flow was accompanied by vast quantities of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied, burning with strong blue flame. Oil in considerable quan- titles was mixed with the flow The stones were thrown to an equal height with the water and the exhibition of tremendous force was appalling to the last degree.. No geyser. Of the Yellow stone ever displayed such activity. The column of muddy water was like great pillar, extending almost to the clouds and falling back to earth again in graceful festoons. The force ex- erted was equal to a thousand powerful engines. For two weeks this phenome- non has been active, though some diminution of the force exerted is be- ginning to be apparent. The flow of water is enormous. and. the country being fiat, some difficulty is appre- hended in it's control

Heir to S5oo.0Oo.

Robert E. NJ. Cooper, formerly a prominent newspaper man and polti- elan, has fallen heir to $500 900. The estate was left to Cooper by John c. Crego, a miser hermit, who recently died at Cripple Creek. Years ago Grego lived in the Panhandle country of Texas. Cooper made a tour of that region. Crego was not inclined to make acquaintances, but Cooper found him about to drown in river and risked his own life to save the miser That resulted in friendship. Cooper returned to Springfield, Mo. and be- came prominent. He kept up cor respondence with Crego for some years but they finally lost track of each other, Crego left Texas and was a pioneer prospector at Cripple Creek He cleaned Up $500, ,000 and quit. There after he lived in absolute seclusion So far as he knew Cooper was still in Springfield, and a few days b.rore he died he sent for Justice Martin, and a will was drawn lip le~ying everything to Cooper,
