man of the advanced type. Rainsford
is very much of a society man, and
like many clergymen of the Church
of England he drinks wine and beer
whenever he feels like it, as the
vernacular hath it. In national politics
he was always democratic so long

When it was changed to free silver
he changed his party allegiance.
Capt. S. Norton Goddard, who
occupies as much space in local news
papers now as DR.. Rainsford did ten
years ago, was then practically un-
known.
His chief work has been fighting

suppressed in New York, and he has
made such a record with it that he

Capt. Goddard has had the strongest

STOPPED RUNAWAY TEAM.
Athletic Young Woman Distinguishes
Herself by a Brave Act.

One of the society favorites of san
Rafael, Cal, is Miss Alice Hoffman. She
is besides a golf enthusiast, formerly a
champion at tennis and an expert
equestrienne. She is now the heroine
of the hour in that pleasant little city.
Her achievement was not in athletical
sports, but in stopping a runaway team
and thereby saving the lives of J. W.
Cochrane his wife and three children
at the risk of her own.
COchrane, who resides on Petaluma
avenue, has a team of spirited horses.
One afternoon recently Mrs. Cochrane
and three children accompanied Mr..
Cochrane on a drive. While driving
down Petaluma avenue the fire alarm
sounded. The horses became excited
and attempted to run away. Mrs. Coch-
rane was on the front seat of the
vehicle with her husband, while the
children occupied the rear seat. The
team became almost unmanag eable and
but for the expert horsemanShip OF
COchrane would have thrown the rig
into a fence BY putting on the brake
and holding tight rein he was enabled
to keep the team in the middle of the
road. The horses succeeded in cramping
the front wheel, however, and COM
menced to kick Mrs. COchrane was UNI
able to alght and her children were too
frightened to do so. Several times the
animals barely missed the mothers
head with their hOOfs- To quiet them
was impossible and their kicking be-
horses got straddle of the pole, making
the other more vicious than ever.
Miss Hoffman, who drives every after
noon along the boulevard in her trap,
happened along at time when the
Cochranes were in a most serious pre-
dicament. She realized the situation at
once, stopped her horse and jumping
out of the rig, went to their assistance.
Cochrane told her not to get near the
animals heads. but she did seizing
them by the brides, and tried to quiet
them. The horses plunged and in every
way endeavored to get away, but Miss
Hoffman retained her hold. She was
dragged some distance-Chicago Chron-

TRANSFORMING TREES.
Scientific American Describes the
Plan in Detail.

ran IN OobalA.
Al western method Of transpIanting
large trees is thus described in the Sci
entfdc American: The tree which is be
ing transplanted is never handled i'll
any other way than from its base In
short, to explain the method in a nut
shell, it may be stated that the earth
and roots are incased in a steel basket
Of any required size, which corresponds
to the flower not of the florist. The first
operation in transplanting tree by
this method is to thoroughly wet the
earth about the tree. softening the
ground. Next in order is the placing IN
position of the steel basket. which is
made of curved steel shOVels. A medium
sized machine, enclosing earth and roots
six feet in diameter, is composed of
fourteen shOvels made Of five-sixteenln
inch ploW steel, each of the shovels be
ing hinged to q steel platform surround
ing the tree. After the shovels have
all been driven into place they are
firmly secured to the platform by cross
bars, by which the whole tree can be
Hfted from its bed
The lifting apparatus is then adjusted
about the tree and two men lift the
tree out Of the ground by screw power.

which is to convey it to its new loca-
ton, and is thus transported through
the streets of the city, being at such ais
angle that the branches pass under tel
ephone and telegraph wires and other
overhead distractions. Incidentally it
may be noted that the tree rests So
lightly upon the cushion that there is no
strain whatever upon the body of the
tree. Upon arrival at it's destination
the tree is slowly lowered into the hole
which has been prepared for it. ana
after the transporter has been removed
the earth is filed in and tamped about
the basket When all is secure the show
els are withdrawn. leaving the tree
fully embedded without the loss of any
OF its original surrounding earth con-
tanning its hbrous or hair roots Among
the advances in this method of tree
transplanting is the operation of the
lifting and conveying device according
to the points of the compass. making it
possible to plant the tree in the exact
original position.

NEVER PLAYED GOLF.
Young Vanderbilt Visits Newspaper
Office to Deny Story.

When William K. Vanderbilt was at
Harvard he was one of the most demo-
cratic students there. despite the fact
that he had millions at his command.
Many say that he carried it too far. and
in his dress he was decidedly careless,
remarks a writer in the Boston Herald
About that time the writer happened
to be connected with a local morning
paper and published a scoop story on
the great golf links that William K.
Vanderbilt was to have laid out for his
private use at Lexington
The day of the publication of the
story there came into the editorial
rooms of the paper a young fellow who,
in the language of the office boy who
had corralled him and demanded to
know his business, was a guy what
needed a job His trousers bagged at
the knee; in fact, his clothes looked
as if the person who had them on had
slept in them the night before The
