especially dangerous when those asking
recognition come in the shape of con-
glomerate that is the result Of political
barter and has behind II nothing of
responsibility. Seattle for two years
has prospered under Republican rule.
and IT will continue to prosper under
Republican rule. It Is no time to take
desperate chances with all the vagaries
that are represented in the personality

a patched up partisan ticket on which
are men of every sort OF curious belief.

TO make prosperity certain than by
keeping in power that party under
which there has been business activity

sheer disgust, voted to repeal the civil
service laws. and returned to the spells
system, which has the negative merit
OF not being a hypocritai sham.
The so-called Democratic ticket in this
city was nominated in back room by
a little gang Of trading politicians The
pretence OF reform is the old, old, fiimsy
bait for suckers, used until it would
seem that none was left sufficiently
creduious TO bite at 1t. Behind the little
geng who named the ticket is the army
OF very hungry and very thirsty who
long once again to feast as they did
when. under the last reform admins
tration, the public treasury was bank
from which every impecunious poll
tician could borrow at will, when every
department Of the city government was
filed with the ward heelers. and when
hundreds of others. If properly provided
with Democratic OF Populist credentials
from the ward bosses, could find en-
pioyment on the street and sewer work
at wages at about twice as high as were
paid at that time in private employ
ment.
Is any man creduious enough to be-
lieve that the civil service rules Of this
city, enforced as they would be by men
named by the political bandits who have
put the reform ticket in the field, would
be any barrier against the raid OF this
army OF iong-suffering pap-suckers?
The experience of Tacoma. under pre-
c;seiy Identical conditions. ought to be
a sufficient warning.

SMALLEST OF THEIR KIND.
The Dwarf Cattle of Celebes Are No
Larger Than Ordinary Full
Grown Sheep.

Celebes had the distinction Of being
the home of the smallest living repre-
sentative of the wild cattle, or, indeed,
of the wild cattle of any period of the
earth's history, for no equally diminu-
tive fossil member of the group APP
pears to be known to science. An
idea of the extremely diminutive pro-
portions of the anoa, or s~api-utan, as
the animal in question is respectively
and the Malays, may be gained when
it is stated that its height at the
shoulder Is only about three feet
three inches, whereas that of the
great Indian wild OK, or guar, is at
least six feet four inches. and may,
according to some writer's, reach as
much as seven feet. In fact, the anoa
Is really not much, if at all, larger
than a well-grown South Down sheep
and scarcely exceeds in this respect
the little domesticated Bramini cat
tie shown a few years ago at the In
dian exhibition held at Earl's Court,
says knowledge.
The anoa has many Of the charac-
tiers Of the large Indian buffalo, but
its horns are relatively shorter, less
curved and more upright. In this, as
well as in certain other respects, it is
more like the young than the adult of
the last-named species, and as young
animals frequently show ancestral
features which are gradually lost as
maturity is approached it would be a
natural superstition that the anoa is
a primitive type of buffalo.

A TOUGH OH SALT
Admiral Keppe1 Has Spent a Life
time in the British Marine
Service.

The Keppel family, of England, of
which the brave old admiral bearing
the name is a member, is notorious for
its toughness. Sir Harry, as the adj
miral is called, was conspicuous among
the guests at Lady Mary Keppel's we'd
ding a couple Of weeks ago. Sir Harry
retired from the royal navy in 1879,
afer spending no less than 81 years in
that service. In the China war of GO
years back, he had command of the
Dido, and won distinction, and he was
quite an old fighting hand when he
served in the Baltic and Black seas dur
ing the Crimean war. After the close
of the Crimean campaign he returned
to China and covered himself with
glory in the desperate work in Fat
shan creek. Keppel bay, in Borneo,
now an old-established settlement, was
called after him. Forty years ago he
asked the electors Of his beloved Ports
mouth to let him go to parliament, but
they insisted on keeping him to the
quarter deck. The admiral is a fine
specimen of the old-fashioned sea dog,
and is as young yet as many who might
be his grandchildren.

NUMBERS.
Heavy Mileage Rates Are Sometimes
Paid to Retain an Old
"HeIIOo Address,

Telephone numbers have an actual
money value" said an officer of the
American Bell Telephone company,
reports the New York Mail and Ex-
press. "The assertion has a strange
sound, but If you think for a mo-
ment of the advantage a business
house derives from having it's location
we'll known, the thing seems only nat
ural.
"In the course Of time peoples
minds begin to associate a firm with
it's telephone number, and if, when
they start to call up an old friend,
they find him masquerading under a
new number, it is as much of a shock
as if they had called at a house with
whom they were in the habit of doing
business and found it had moved
away. 1t all comes under the legal
head Of good WILL a very elusive COM
modify, but one which has it's market
value.
$50 much is this fact appreciated
by some of our old patrons that they
are willing to pay heavy mileage if
they move away from the neighbor-
hood of their exchange in order to
retain their old telephone address.
Many important houses have followed
the northward trend of business in
the last few years, and there are sew
eral cases Of a firms office address
being In the uptown district, while
its telephone number remains So and
so, Cortlandt or Broad. The firms
line to the exchange may be several
miles long"

STORM WAS HEAVY.
Causes Much Damage I'm SAN Francia-
co, But No one Was
Injured.

San Francisco, Dec. I5.-One of the
most severe storms which has ever Wis
itrd san Francisco, broke over the city
at an early hour Friday morning, and
ragged in ftful gusts, rain and wind
sweeping the city with unusual VIC
lence, accompanied by thunder and
forked Lightning, a rather unusual oc-
currence in this city. At one time rain
fell in such torrents that many thought
o e~loudburst imminent. During the
heightof the storm several houses were
overturned by the wind, fences blown
down and other damage done. One of
the great receiving tanks Of the San
francisco Gas and Electric company
was struck by lightning, the gas TAX
ing fire. No one was hurt in the explo-
sion, but the tank was completely de-
molished. During the storm the city
was entirely cut off from Geographic
communication with the rest of the
world, the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies losing every wire
out Of San Francisco. The damage to
telegraph wires is being repaired rap
Idly, but only partial service is being
given by the two companies. The bulk
Of damage to wires was caused by the
blowing down of about 100 poles on the
Oakland side of the bay, Some damage
was done in the mountains, but moth
ing definite can be stated as to the ex-
tent. The telephone company also lost
many of its long-distance wires. So
far, no marine disasters of any mo-
ment have been reported. On the bay
several boats capsized, but no n was
drowned so far as known. Several yes
sells dragged their anchors, but no dam
age is reported.
Reports from points at short dis
tances from San Francisco tell of
much damage by the storm. Buildings
were blown down and ~unroofed in
many sections, chimneys blown down
and other damage done, but so far no
fatalities have been reported. The
storm ceased almost entirely at noon.

storm is the worst known in years. The
amount of damage done in Reno is not

Ut . temperature which was always
much below freezing point, was found
70 be alive at the end Of II days. Capt.
Reed, in command Of the vessel in

the story with the statement that
the bird was supposed to be killed by
being strangled with Irvine tied az
tightly as possible around the neck.
This twine was not removed. The
