BrOiIing n steak.

The broiling of steak often fills the
house with smoke and the meat odor.
In many cases this can be avoided by
as simple an expedient as opening the
hampers of the stove or range when
the broiler Is put on and letting the
draft carry the fumes up the chimney.
A great many things that are odious in
housekeeping may be avoided by
knowing how"

mo good" said a baggage man,
touching as he spoke rope that was
tied around trunk standing in a rail-
road baggage room. 1t was a stout
rope and securely tied so far as the
knot was concerned, but 1t did not bind
on the trunk, and it would have been
difficult, If not impossible, to draw it
close without some mechanical means
to help. AS it stood with the rope
loose about it the trunk could have
been easily broken by careless ham
ding as though there had been no rope
around it at all.
"a strap is the only thing" the bag
gage man said, "to put around a
trunk."-New York Sun.

from Honolulu under date of August
Sth We're received tonight by the China

The steamer Columbia came in on
the 9Th inst. with only seventy-two
japanese immigrants, whereas she was
expected to bring at least 100, half OF
them to be contract laborers and half
to be free laborers. Each of those who
came had $50 in gold.
1t is stated that the Japanese emf
grafton companies. on account of the
strictness of the government regula-
lions, refused to deliver more than 40
contract laborers, and of these nearly
one-half failed to come up to the health
and other requirements.
The purser of the Columbia thinks
that many laborers We're prevented
from sailing by those interested in the
Japanese line of steamers, but the
agents of the emigration company say
the men who were left behind will soon
be brought to Honolulu on the steamer
Carmarthenshire. :
George Wade, who shot and killed
William Gillespie on the steamer Aus
tralia on May 18th, pleaded guilty in

FERROUS murder is reported from Colma,
small town about ten miles from

hog raiser named Mitchell. or one of
his four sons, sworn enemies of Insand

his sons are missing, but systematic
search for them is being carried on by

The Hotel at the Watering Place
Entirely Destroyed.
Miss Belle Mckenzie, After Heroic Efforts
TO Save Lives Of Others,
Perishes, Her Charred Body Being
Found in the Ruins-Two Sacra-
mentans Have Narrow Escapes,
Both Being Badly Burned.

RED BLUFF, Aug 1.-THE almost
new three-story hotel owned by E. +.
Walbridge at Tuscan Springs, about
nine miles east of Red Bluff, was dis
covered to be on fire a little after
| o'clock this morning. The flames
started in the kitchen, and spread rap
idly. Soon the entire building was in
flames. Over 100 guests beside the en-
ployes We're in the house at the time.
They escaped with only their night
clothes, but few saving any personal
effects.
Miss Belle Mckenzie, an employe,
awakened in time to rouse many guests
and Mr.. Walbridge and family. After
doing heroic service with the flames all
around her she tarried too long, and
lost her life in the ruins. The body
has not yet been recovered. No others
were seriously injured She had worked
in this vicinity for many years, and
was a highly esteemed faithful en-
ploye. Conveyances from Red Bluff
brought the hotel people and guests
to this place.
The loss is estimated between $40,-
600 and $4,000, with only $4,000 in
Surance.
Tuscan Springs is we'll known re-
sort for rheumatism, affections of the
blood and other diseases, and from
April to November is usually crowded.
There was a lack of water and APP
planes for fighting the fire, and being
a frame building, nothing could be done
to save the splendid structure from de-
struction.
The origin of the fire is supposed to

a fire in the kitchen range.
Later reports from the Tuscan
Springs fire makes the loss about $50,
600. There were burned the hotel
proper, with all it's contents, the new
addition, the clubhouse, the bottling
works and three cottages.
Miss Belle Mckenzie. whose heroic
death was the only tragedy of the fire,
was awakened by the smoke, and was
the first to discover the flames. She
called others and tried to extinguish
the fire. T,As1s she awakened the guests,
came outside the building, but went
back to try to save her clothing. When
last seen she was upstairs in closet
Her body was burned to a crisp, the
bones being almost consumed. She
was about 30 years of age.

Plumbers Ask for More Pay.

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 14.-It is ex-
pected that strike of plumbers will
be inaugurated here tomorrow. The
plumbers demand a raise from So to
$3.50 per day. In April, 1898. the
wages of the plumbers were reduced
from 81 to $3.50 per day. A short time
later the wages We're raised to So. Two
weeks ago a demand for a raise to
$3.50 was made, but it has not yet
been met A number of the master
plumbers say they will pay the wages
demanded, provided all will agree to it,
but it seems impossible to get all to
agree to it, and a strike is arranged

company announced at noon that he
would give the men until o'clock this
afternoon to accept the conditions laid
down yesterday, namely the reinstate-
ment of so per cent. of the strikers and
the placing of the rest on the waiting
list. Mayor Farley has determined the
time has come when decisive action
must be taken. He will, it is announced,
permit no more riotng if all the avail
able troops in the state are necessary
to prevent it. The mayor and Chief
Barrett have agreed on a plan of &C
