TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS
Reach San Francisco Saturday From
Manila.

Manila.
The transport Indiana arrived at
San Francisco with the Tennessee
volunteers ON board, 606 in number
forty officers, twenty-five discharged
men and 1O1 military prisoners. The
Tennesseans are doubtless the most
enthusiastic regiment that has re-
turned, but their enthusiasm com
pared but little with the buoyant
spirit of the welcoming party who
took large amount OF fruit and othei
good things out to the vessel as soon
as she was released from quarantine
The health OF the soldiers is good and
no death occurred during the voyage
from Manila, which occupied almost
thirty days.

LOndOn's Traffic.
Some idea of the immense traffic the Lon
don omnibuses do can be obtained from
the figures just issued by the secretary
of the London General Omnibus Company,
who states that last year the omnibuses
owned by the company carried no fewer
than 100000 passengers. and ran 3d.
100000 miles. The number of men working
this traffic is 5000, and he says that the
ticket system saves the company 100000 a
year. AS that 100000 a year formerly
went into the pockets of the conductors,
one can easily understand the strike that
took place when the ticket system was
adopted.
There are two other companies nearly
as large as the London General, and the
figures for these should not be far short
of the above. Numerous other privately
owned buses run. Here seems a grand
opening for better means of communioa-
ton than the numbering topheavy omni-
buses. L. H. MOORE.

Will Marry Only FunstOn's Men.


When the Goth Kansas Volunteers come
marching home they will find great many
enthusiasts to welcome them, but none will
they be so pleased to meet as the Wichita
Girls Bachelor Club of Wichita, Kansas,
which has just passed unanimous resolu-
tons to marry no one else except these
men. The members of the Girls Bachelor
Club are not aged. Their club title is a
misnomer because all of them are young
and pretty, while most of the members are
of wealthy parents. These girls have been
great admirers Of General Funston and his
men.
They had long desired to show their feel
ings for these Kansas soldiers and when
the resolution was introduced 1t went
through with a whoop. Miss Marie Will
liams, the author of the resolution was
seen and said:
1--WE had long desired something to stir
up the girls when / thought of this. For
my part am heartily in favor and propose
to marry no one else but member of the
Goth Kansas Regiment. These boys, for the
most part, are unmarried, handsome and
daring fellows, and think would make us
good husbands. l think every girl will
stick to her agreement"

ALL WERE LYING.
How the Mild Man Stirred Up a Street
Car Row.

SuF hO".
From the Kansas City Star.
Say" said the street car conductor to
mild hammered man who was deeply en-
crossed in his newspaper. Say, young fell
Ter, I don't want this quarter. I can't use
it, The mild man continued to hold out
his hand for his change, but paid no other
attention to the conductor.
See here!' yelled the conductor, getting
red in the face, you can't pass no quarter
like that on me. It's slick. 1 can't take it
for more than 20 cents"
THE mill man looked up and said: I'm
sorry because you gave me that very quar-
ter yourself last night and I've been lay
ing for you since. Well, give 1t here. He
took the quarter and gave the conductor a
nickel. AS he took the quarter from the
conductor he suddenly dropped his newspa-
per and gave a chuckle.
"Wen, WELL" he exclaimed, there's luck.
Bless me, if that isn't an 1882 quarter with
fourteen stars and an arrow. It's worth
So. So He slipped 1t into his pocket with
evidence of much satisfaction.
Here, give me that quarter" said the
conductor. Il was only fooling. That's my
quarter
A hungry-eyed man in the corner who
had overheard the conversation jumped up
and said:
yesterday morning? 1 missed that quarter
1t was pocket piece and a valuable coin.
/ remember now that l gave it to gu.
demand it!'' he said, looking fiercely at the
mild man. eff you are a gentleman you
will give it to me-.
''It isn't yours. You never gave 1t to me-
My wife gave me that coin by mistake. It's
part of a collection that's been in the family
since 1S27!' yelled the conductor.
II tell you it's mine," said the hungry
eyed man. Thus they wrangled and quar-
relied all The way down town.
NO" said the mild man TO a neighbor,
as he stepped from the car, "it's only a
plain. ordinary old shiny quarter that I've
been irving to pass off for a week We
were all lying. it's worth about % cents"

He Lit n Match.

From the Atlantic.
The halls of many tenements are dark.
There should, under the law, be a light
burning, but II is one of the rarest things
to find one. The thing seems well-nigh i'm
possible of accomplishment.
We had a curious instance at one time OF
the difficulties that sometimes beset reform.
Certain halls that were known to be dark
were reported sufficiently lighted by the
policeman Of the district. and it was dis
covered that It was his standard that was
Vitlated- He lived In a tenement himself,
ana was used to Its gloom. So an order was
issued, defining darkness to the sanitary
police; If the sink in the hall could be made
out. and the Stops overlooking on the floor,
and IL baby could be seen on the stairs
the hall was light; IL. on the other hand it's
shrieks were the first warning that Il was
being trampled upon. the hall was dark.
Some days later the old question arose
about an Eldridge street tenement
The policeman had reported the hall light
enough. The president OF the board of
health, to settle II once for all went over
with me to see for himself. The hall was
very dark. He sent for the policeman.
Did you see the sink in that hall?' he
asked.
The policeman said he did
it?'
II lighted a match" said the policeman.

Old Paintings Found.
An interesting discovery has been made
by Lord Esher and other officials of the
office of works at Hampton Court Palace
Every visitor knows Queen Anne's drawing
room, which is in the center of the east
wing of Wren's building. The beautiful
ceiling represents Queen Anne dressed in
purple and ermine in the chariot of Justice.
Over her head is a crown held by Neptune
and Britannia. while surrounding are yari-
Gus figures representing Peace and Plenty.
1t has now been found that the whole of
the walls We're similarly painted by Verrio
to represent Queen Anne's apotheosis as
queen of the sea in the four great quarters
of the globe. Latterly some of the more
modern pictures hanging on the walls were,
| removed to kensington palace, and it was
decided to thoroughly clean the room
Then IL was found that the walls were
about 1875, hung with silk damask, and in
1888 they were actually 'papered." On
carefully stripping the paper off the walls
it was seen that the vandals, who had oh
scured the frescoes, had done immense
| damage by cutting away much of Verrio's
work to insert the battenS on which thew
stretched the canvas to hold the damask
| covering. By carefully nursing every bit
| of the design, however the decorato tors have
| been able to reproduce the fragments of
l the pictures which were torn away by the
| workman's hammer Contrasted with the
| kings staircase and its heroic mural paint
| irgs by Verrio. representing the Triumph
/ of Bacchus, Ii is said that the new Yer

/ Infinitely better in color and design The
