SAN FRANCISCO IN DARKNESS.
City Suddenly Undergoes Strange
Eclipse at Midday.


1t grew dark suddenly IN San Fran
cisco Saturday at noon, and many ner-
yous people were alarmed at the SIN
gular phenomenon, thinking possibly
II bOded an earthquake or cyclone. Tel
ophen messages poured into the wealth
er bureau from panic-striken people,
clamGriDg for an explanation Of the
sudden darkness and demanding 10
know whether something worse were to
follow. The alarmed ones were reas-
sured when told by the officials that
the darkness was caused by the morn
ing smoke from the countless chimneys
OF the city, which that day drifted sea-
ward, being carried back in a somewhat
cOmpacted mass by the wind and fog.
Director Meade gives the following
Interesting explanation Of the singular
phenomena:
Every morning the smoke ascending
from thousands upon thousands Of San
Francisco chimneys and smOkestaeks,
under such conditions as we had Sat-
urday morning. drifts out seaward. We
had, early in the day, a light off-shore
wind, blowing laZily at about the rate
Of four miles an hour. Suddenly this
wind shifted to the north and west,
bringing in a high fog and rolling up
in the fog vapor all the morning smoke.
The observers on the mountain say
that when the city was enveloped in
darkness as this peculiar cloud passed
over, there was bright sunshine out up
on the water and inland as well. The
most interesting part Of the sight was
the coming in Of the real fog bank af-
terward. after the smoke had passed
over. like a battle witnessed at a great
distance. where the trOps advance af-
ter the fog had cleared away"

NEW ALASKA RAILROAD.
Canadian Capitalists Ask Charter From
Government.

Another big Alaska railroad scheme
is being talked OF, and while it may be
some time before it is put through it
is believed the capitalists behind 1t are
in earnest and that eventually it will
become reality. Wendell p. Jones. a
large capitalist Of New Brunswick. has
made application to the Dominion par
lament for charter to build a line
Of railway from a point on the White
Pass & Yukon railway across the Lewis
branch Of the Yukon river to the Hoo
talinqua river, thence to the Big Sal
mon. Also to extend the line north to
Stewart and to build branches in Hoo
talinqua and Big Salmon valleys. The
project, 1t is said, has behind II some
of the wealthiest Of the Klondike mine
owners, and it is the purpose of the
road to develop portion of that coun-
try known to be rich, but which on
account of its remoteness and inacces-
sibility has to the present time been
worked but very little.
The projectors Of the new road have
had surveyors over the ground and it
Is their report that a good right -of-way
can be obtained. There is ample capi-
tai behind the plan and in all probabil-
ity 1t will go through this year, and
If not will be ready for business in 1892.

NEW CABINET OFFICERS.

Now that the presidential election has
been decided, the most important ques-
lion Is the selection Of trustworthy men
for the cabinet, and we hope the
changes made will prove beneficial to
the country's interests. In private life
the people are also making many
changes. For instance, in regard to their
health. When their stomachs become
weak, their nerves unstrung. and dys-
pepsia. indigestion, nervousness and
sieeplessness result. they try this and
that medicine without getting relief.
What they need is Hostetter's stomach
Bitters, the only sure cure for these
ailments. and after giving 1t fair
trial. they will be convinced that this
is the medicine they have been looking
for. II you are among these sufferers
and want to get well. try It at once.
