4 Tough Crowd.

One hundred and fifty men in the
steerage OF the Rio. who took passage
al Nagasaki for San Francisco, were
about as tough a lot OF customers as
it has been Captain Wards luck 20
mix 20 with during his experience 4
sea. The men were from the trans
ports which took the live stock for
the German government from San
Francisco to the Orient. On arrival
and discharge Of the stock the men
who were engaged TO take care of the
horses were provided with :ransporta-
tion home. When they boarded the
steamer they informed Captain Ward
that they would take charge OF the
running OF the vessel, and that he need
not worry about time hanging heavily
on his hands during the trip.
When they went aboard they were
drunk. and they kept drunk nearly all
the way over here. Several of the
worst disturbers had TO be put in
irons, and this had good effect on
the remainder. who quieted down
little for the rest of the trip.
AS soon as the passengers were I'll.
lowed ashore Friday evening the host
lers made a dash for the wharf with
yells which startled the denizens IF
the waterfront for blocks. The men
were loud in their abuse of the com
pany and claimed that they had not
received proper treatment on the trip.
as they said they were supposed 10
have European steerage accommoda-
tions and were made to take pot luck
with lot of Cinnamon.
Captain Ward, whom everybody
knows as a painstaking and capable
man, says that the men are the worst
Iot of white men ne has ever seen. and
he will be very happy when the YES
sci reaches San Francisco so that he
can get rid of his troublesome passen
gers.

A Strict Examination.

From now on there will be a very
strict examination made of all pas
sengers arriving here from San Fran
cisco which is down on the books OF
the Quarantine authorities as having
intermittent cases of plague. Since
the arrival Of Pratt, the leper, the
other day. II has been decided TO put
all passengers through a rigid eSamin
alton before allowing them to land
here. There will be personal exam
ination in every case. While il is not
the intention of the physicians TO car
ry the examinations To the point of re
quiring the cabin passengers to re
move their clothing nevertheless the.
most rigid examination possible will
be conducted and nothing reasonable
will be left undone to protect the
health of the town. The examination
OF steerage passengers will also be
much stricter.
As in the case of the Mariposa las
week the company has made arrange.
ments with the quarantine physician

passengers on their through vessels

pany has agreed to furnish transporta,

the weather is so rough that the quar-.
antine launch can not make the jour.

ion that steamers from San Francisco
should so arrange their schedules
that they may arrive here In the day.

WAR FAMINE HAS CAUSED IT.

The use of horseflesh as food Is a
prominence OF late owing to the neces-
stiles to which the beleaguered gar
risons in South Africa have been re-
duced. IL Is, therefore, a matter of
general interest that certain butchers
I'm San Francisco have been detected in
using the flesh OF the horse as a sub
stitute for beef in the manufacture or
sdusaEes and other viands. There is
nothing unwholesome in using the flesh
of such clean feeding animal as the
horse. but it Is rightly considered that
II should not be foisted upon con-
sumers I'm place OF more expensive
meats. In many Continental countries
the sale of horsefesh for human food
is considerable; and the butchers are
licensed: and the animals are killed
under proper sanitary conditions. The
New York Medical Journal points out
that IL Is comparatively easy to detect
the presence Of horse meat even in
such small quantities as 5 per cent.
The suspected meat Is boiled for about
an hour in n small quantity OF water,
which is afterward reduced by evapor-
alton. cooled and filtered. To this
liquid n few drops Of compound iodine
solution Zone part iodine and twelve
parts pOtassic iodlde IN one hundred
parts Of water) is added. when a fugi-
tive red violet coloration indicates the
presence of horse meat.

STORIES OF LINCOLN

AS a boy in the early SOS remember
Abraham Lincoln when he used to come
into our part of Illinois to practice law
in tile courts of Logan, Tazewell, Nc
Lean and Woodford counties. 1t was
before the days of railroads, and the
lawyers. like everybody else, had to
travel by private conveyance AS the
roads were usually muddy in the spring
and fall about term time, they came to
the county seats on horseback. Court
opened on Monday, and this made it
necessary for the attorneys to reach
the town on Sunday They would
come struggling in all afternoon and
after getting into clean clothes put in
the evening telling stories. 1t was a
sight for gods and men to see Lincoln
the most ungainly horseman on the
planet, with his plug hat and six feet
four. and Judge Gridley, the diminu
tive and pompous fop with his four feet
six, riding side by side through the
mud, despatched from head to foot.

mean that from about the break OF
day until dark on Sunday the religious
exercises were a continuous perform.

And what do you know of the wide

ing on to the roof and sitting there
cross-legged.
Nothing as yet but that it holds you
and me, Diogenes," she said, the blush
mantling higher. and her bright eyes
shaded by her lacework of lashes. Truly
a pretty picture was she with her dress
cut antique. so that her shapely leg on
the off side peered through and tod
that as yet stockings and lingerie had
not been invented.
"Annides," he said.
Yes" she answered shyly.

morning deep in the composition OF

GENERAL MILES ON GOOD ROADS

General Nelson a. Miles tells the
story of an old teamster out West who
was driving over a very rough road in
the Rocky mountains shortly after the
Geronimo campaign. He had the gen.
eral for n passenger. The wagon was
an old prairie schooner, without springs
or cushions. and the general was vainly
attempting to fall asleep.
"But there was no sleep for me on
that trip" says General Miles, for the
old rascal drove over every bowlder
In the road; in fact, he seemed to be
doing 1t purposely. Finally 1 became
interested and began TO count the num-
Der OF rocks over which the wheels OF
the wagon passed or which they struck
SUDDENLY to my CONSERVATION he missed
one-a huge bowlder in the middle Of
the roadway.
'whoal Hey I cried Back up!
Back upv
He quietly followed my instructions.
SEEMING TO be not at all surprised by
them. When he had his wagon in the
proper position 1 said: Now, drive
over the rock. confound you! It's the
only one you've missed
Without so much as a glance in my
direction. he replied: Cert, pard.
Never noticed it. Amt got n chew
about yer?'
II got out and walked the remain
\ ing eight miles"
/ General Miles used this story as an
argument for the construction OF the
great transcontinental highway, which

and cyclists throughout the country.

The Standard Evening Post guaran-
tees the following to be the latest anec-
dote about Mark Twain: Mark Twain
has been living quietly in England for
some time now. and were 1t not that he
appeared to give evidence before a
royal commission on the question OF
copyright. scarcely a soul outside his
private and particular friends would
have known he was there at all. The
other evening he was dining at the
house OF n friend. and seated next to
him was an American who had only
that day reached England. They were,
OF course, talking war. and the new
conner. wishing to know the feeling in
England in the matter of the future of
the Transvaal. asked Mark Twain how
he found public sentiment In England
regarding the independence of the re-
public. Well said the genial humorist

quietly repeating. Mr.. Gladstone CIV
