The outdoor features at Dreamland Coney
Island which provide good sport for lookers-on
are the boats which come down the chutes. load
ed with passengers, and skid across the lagoon
10 the landing. The boardwalks on each side
OF the lagoon are congesJed with people, who
find interest in the excitement OF those shooting
the chutes. The ChiIkooU Pass Is also fun
maker for the onlookers. and II IS not an uncom-
mon sight to see hundreds OF people blocking
up the entrance TO the pass. The pass is a new
kind OF slide. on which people sit down in an
upright position at the top and reach the bot
tom assuming attitudes surprising 10 themselves
and amusing 10 those who are watching. Fight
ing the Flames" is more realistic than ever, due
10 the fact that the entire front Of the building
on fire is al one tine sheet OF flame. one OF
the most interesting attractions Is hranau's ex-

san Francisco, June 10.-Nuch interest is be
ing shown here i'm the trial Of the criminal suit
against Jacob Eppinga-, the once millionaire
wheat dealer. He is charged with obtaining
over $4,000 from banks on specific warehouse re-
ceipts. although it is alleged that the grain was
not only not in the warehouse at the time, but
had actually been sold several months before.
The prosecution seems 20 be making a strong
case. the defence relying mainly on technical
points and claiming that Jacob Eppinger, al
though the hEad or the firm. had no personal
knowledge OF the fact that the wheat on which
the concern borrowed the money ~d already
been sold To guard against any possible jury
fixing the judge mas ordered the twelve men %
remain IN the custody of the Sheriff throughout
the trial

The California Asphaitum Sales Agency,
which handles the pooled product o. the State,
Is prepared 10 make a vigorous protest against
the exclusion Of the California asphaItum from
New-York for street paving purposes. The rea-
son for this exclusion. which has been advanced
by the present Tamnany Board OF Estimate and
Apporrionmeut. Is that no oil residU1m has
hitherto been found TO be a satisfactory material
for roaduaknE California asphaltum pro-
ducers claim that this is an evasion OF facts and
that while Eastern petroleum has a paraffne
base. the California oil has an asphalt base, and
that II has been amply demonstrated in the
streets and IN the country roads throughout the
State that the native asphalt makes a finer
and more enduring pavement than the Bermuda
or the Trinidad material In fact, by simply
treating the ordinary UaCeGam with a heavy
coat OF NJ tive oil, CaIiforuiaus have so trans
formed their country roads that il is difficult TO
distinguish them from asphalt paved streets
hard and firm, ana free from dust.

The testimony taken here before the United
States local inspectors IN regard to the wreck
Of the Pacific Mail steamer Colon. on the Saliva
doran coast IN April last, shows very concIu-
sively that most OF the minor officers as well as
the chief engineer were drunk at the time. II
seems that the night before the wreck Chief
Officer Wilson was married, and the officers
opened wine az his expense. costing him $40 at
wholesale rates Captain Irvine claims that the
chief engineer ran the engine faster than he
was ordered 10, thus upseJting the captains
calculations and causing him 10 run the vessel

Miss Betty Dane. spinster. stood be-

tie woman, upon whose face . faded
pink flush still fingered. Her brown
eyes were shy, and the brown hair
rolled back from her brow was threaded
with silver.
"Christmas!" she repeated, as she
went back to her rocking chair. II sup

Miss Betty wiped her eyes.
II ought to be ashamed, and am"
she went on, rocking to and fro. "but
It's dreadful never to have Christmas

cheeks burned to crimson. II haven't
