Franklin. Famous Toast.

Franklin was dining with a small
party OF distinguished gentlemen,
when one Of them said: Here are
three nationalities represented am
French, and my friend here is English
and Mr.. Franklin is an American. Let
each one propose a toast" 1t was
agreed to, and the Englishmans turn
came first. He arose. and, in the tone
of a Briton bold. said: Here's to
Great Britain, the sun that gives light
to all nations Of the earth" The
Frenchman was rather taken aback at
this, but he proposed: Here's to
France, the moon whose magic rays
move the tides of the world" Frank
lin then arose, with an air OF quaint
r,odesty, and said: Here's to our be-
loved George Washington, the Joshua
of America, who commanded the sun
and moon TO stand still--and they
obeyed."

A WoMAN'S THEATER HAT BOX
Clever Girl Designs = Good Thing for
Her Sex.

Her Sex.
With the law in some places and a
great public indignation in others
about ladies' hats in theaters and
churches has come a hardship about
which everyone has worried, and yet
remedy has not even been thought
about until Miss Rose Ottenheimer,
a young Californian by adoption, with
a turn for mechanics, planned clever
device which is now covered by pat
ent. 1t has the virtue Of simplicity,
and Is easy of application. 1t is to
be made OF metal, and will, when open
ed, be box under the seat. Miss OF
tenheimer has not left any possible
objections uncovered. When the chair
is folded up the magic box adds but an
inch in the thickness of the seat. It
is so arranged with a simple spring
that the usher can open the receptacle.
the lady or gentleman can place his
or her hat within and the seat can
be dropped without in the least dis
turbing the contents OF the box. A
spring Will lllL luc scat proper, anu
the hat may be put in from the top.
This patent is sort Of practical ap-
plication of a jack-in-the-box At first
Miss Otteuheimer had the metal sides
fold in as many tucks as an accordion.
but in her latest model they fold in
two. The lower part OF the box Is
lot entirely closed, and in this way
it may be kept thoroughly busted and
clean without difficulty. The patentee
has already made application for a
consideration of her patent by the
Pullman comps1y. as she contends that
the need is as great on the cars for
a place to put hat or wrap as in
any theater In the eastern churches,
where ladies are asked to remove their
hats, and where the sittings are in
pews and not in opera chairs, she says
she can arrange for the use OF the
box.

TIE HAWKS BURG,

The Habsburg rises from a high
peak in the Canton Berne OF Switzer-

and commands grand view over that
beautiful part of Switzerland through
which there winds in many silver folds

now seems that their last hour has
come.
Last year the vast East End OF Lon
don suffered from water famine, and
in consequence there ives q danger OF
an outbreak OF all kinds of dreadful
diseases. Only good luck averted that
catastrophe.
The county council then decided that
1t would have to settle the water ques-
ton once and for all. 1t planned to
carry the water ;upply to London from
the hills or the border of Wales, about
two hundred miles away. This would
have been the greatest engineering un-
dertaking of its kind in the world and
would have cost more than hundred
million dollars.

HE WILL GO TO EUROPE FOR A
CURE.
Oakland Omce San Francisco Call

sos Broadway. May 10.
According to affidavits filed in the Su-
perior Court late this afternoon in the
suit OF Jane h. Sather against william
J. Dingee the latter stafds in fear that
the immediate trial ofFthe suit would
endanger his life.
The now famous suit was filed several
months ago and. is brought 10 recover
Sll3 600 which Mrs Sather alleges has
been misapproDriated by Dingee while he
acted as her agent and banker for about
eight years and up to June IA, 1891 Din
gee recently filed an answer, setting forth
as exhibits two receipts signed by Mrs.
Sather wherein she declared that Dingee
owed her nothing further and that all
his accounts were correct. The issues
being joined, the trial was set for June 6
IN Judge Greene's department.
Late to-day, however, defendants at
torneys filed notice that on May Is they
win move for a continuance of the trial
until some time later than June g. on the
ground Of defendants serious illness.
The notice is accompanied by Mr. Din
gees affidavit, in which he alleges THAT
the trial will consume at least twenty
six court days, as II covers matters and
accounts extending over period Of ten
years; that nearly all the matters
set forth TO which defendant will testify
are alone known to him, and he cannot
prove the same by any other witnesses;
that plaintiff and her witnesses will in
all probability testify to many things
which defendant alone can deny or ex-
"And that accordingly the mental strain
TO be endured and nervous effort neces-
sarily required will in all probability
prove so great as TO endanger the life of
defendant. and at least in all probability
destroy his future usefulness and perma-
nently impair. his mental as well as his
physical faculties"
Mr. Dingee's affidavit further sets forth
that his present sad condition was
brought about through work of magni-
tude during past years. and that he has
made all his arrangements to take a va
cation to the Eastern States. the Journey
10 be extended by voyage to Europe
Tor the purpose Of curing himself by
rest and change of climate and surround
ings of his present ailment and that he
may return about November l..
Together with these documents is filed
an affidavit of Mr. Dingee's physician,
Dr. L. II. Woolsey, averring that the trial
of the suit would greatly exaggerate the
nervous disease and insomnia from which
Mr.. Dingee is now suffering.
