On A Cash Basis.

Lippincott S Magazine.
An eminent physician IN p had
cured a little child Of a dangerous ILL
ness. The grateful mother turned
her steps towards the house OF her
son S savior.
"Doctor," she said. ''there are
some things which cannot be repaid.
I really don't know how to express
my gratitude: T thought YOU would,
perhaps. be so kind as to accept this
purse, embroidered by my own hand. ="
"Madam,' replied the doctor, cold
". "Medicine is no trivial affair, and
our visits are to be rewarded only IN
money. Small presents serve to sus-
tain friendships, but they do not sus-
tain our families
EBut doctor,'' said the lady
alarmed and wounded, "speak-tell
me the fee.'
"Two hundred dollars, madam.
The lady opened the embroidered
purse, tok out five bank notes of $loo
each, gave two to the doctor, put the
remaining three back in the purse,
bowed coldly, and took her departure.

tie Is Tor manure. Last year ne
made $50 tons of this character OF
manure, known in these parts as
"cattle euano." This year he expects
to increase the quantity by 100 tons,
and it is this stuff that has raised
lands to their present high grade, and
that makes the crops grown thereon
blossom like the rose. The cattle, when
we'll fattened and sold for beef, pay
bv one-third more than their cost OF
feeding. He expects to increase his
herd, and it was in view Of extending
operations in this line that he built
the mammoth barn, building that
an intelligent horseman Of Kentucky
says will compare favorable with any
barn in his country. 1t is 40 by 80
feet, two stories, with an arched roof,
the distance between the second floor
and ceiling being 80 feet. The lower
floor is partitiond into 36 stalls, Is on
each side, with a room in the middle
to store food. The floor Of each stall
is we'll filed with pine straw. Each
COW knows its stall, and when driven
up voluntarily and gladly enters, for
there is comfort and warmth there.
There are two dolmer windows on
each side for ventilation and orna-
ment, and it is capped by handsome
cupola.
An Object Lesson.
Many have thought the erection OF
this elegant and artistic building an
extravaganza on its owners part, but
its building has a history, and carries
with it. an object lesson. Mr.. Cante-
lou, who is a man Of practical as we'll
as scientific education, with the as
sistance Of his wages hands, built 1t
himself. Every piece Of timber was
gotten from his place and sawed there
with his own mill. Nothing was
bought but the zinc covering and
nails. Had he contracted to have 1t
huilt Il would have easily cost So 900.
AS it was, the money outlay was
trifling. But even at $4,000 cost he
SAYS it would be a good investment.
In the upper story were 600 bales of
hav for market and about that number
has been sold.
"There is more monoy in hay than
anything I can grow" is what Mr..
Cantelou told me.
There is another practice which he
follows. He shreds all his corn. By
this operation the corn is stripped
from the stalk and the fodder and the
stalk cut up together. 1t makes an
excellent stock feed and the farmer
saves fodder pulling.
Believes in Book Farming.
MI. Cantelou believes in "book
farming" and in the intensive system.
He told me he netted $55 per acre
this year on thirteen acres. "That
land is worth to me $500 per acre; in
deed it. not for SALE" was his Ian
euage: He comes Of family whose
chosen occupation for years has been
farming. His lamented and honored
father was always in advance Of the
agricultural thought Of the times. He
was a bold and successful expert
menter and was rewarded with re-
remarkable success. As with the
father, so with the son.
This little running account Of my
friend and his farm is given in the
hope that it may stimulate others to

ARTISTIC SIGNS
FOR RAILROADS
Companies Agree to Unite
in Adjoining Exterior of
the James Flood Building

The railroads which will have freight
and passenger offices in the James
Flood building as soon as it has been
made ready for occupancy will see that
its external appearance is not marred
by flaring and inharmonious signs
They are determined to have their ad-
vertisements, both those inside and
outside the building, works of art and
not eye-catching freaks.
To discuss this subject the agents of
the various lines met in the ferry
building yesterday afternoon. 1t was
decided to- have all exterior signs of
a uniform size and of harmonious color.
The interiors of the offices will be fin
ished and furnished TO harmonize with
each other 1t is probable that each
railroad will have a lighted electric
sign outside it's office at night.
The Southern PaciTic will occupy two
floors early next month. The ground
floor. however. will not be completed
until next January.

John Carter Gets
Into Clutches
of Police.

The line Of depositors at the Hibernia
Bank yesterday was smaller than on
the previous two days, and there is
every reason to believe that common
sense has prevailed and that belief
in the security of the bank is being
established in the minds of the de-
positors who have not as yet with
drawn their money.
The officials of tile bank are firm in
the belief that the run on the institu-
tion was fnaugurated by some person
or persons desirous of injuring it's
standing, and an incident to confirm
this impression occurred yesterday
morning when John Carter was arrest
ed for persisting in urging depositors
to withdraw their accounts at once.
He walked up and down the line and
told several women that the bank
would close its doors in the afternoon,
and urged them to get to the paying
teller as soon as POSSIBLE. He was
warned by the police officers not to
create disturbance. and as he per-
sisted he was arrested, and taken into
the building. where he was confronted
by Joseph Tobin. He was asked who
prompted him to spread malicious re-
ports about the bank, and replied that
no one had told him to do SO, but that
he was just having some fun" He
said he had been here only for a month,
ana naQ Deen IN the restaurant DuSl-
ness at Fifth and Market streets. He
will be held on the charge of disturbing
the peace.
The officials of the institution feel
convinced that Carter is in the employ
of persons wishing to injure the repu-
tation of the bank and have offered
reward of $4,000 for information as to
who employed him.
a. great many persons visited the
fnrda md Of n
themselves that there was plenty. of
money on hand, left without withdraw
ing their deposits.
Rev. D. D. Crowley of the Youths
Directory was among the many cler-
icals to call upon R. M. Tobin. He ex-
pressed his regrets that the officials
of the bank were put to inconvenience
by the unaccountable furry. He said
he could not understand why there
should be any fear regarding the bank,
which, he declared, was one of the
soundest in the United States.

ADMITS A WOMhN
RULED HIM.

By the turn OF her little finger or
the lift of her eyebrow Catherine Nc
Kinnon was able to turn the current
of Henry w. Won Kapffs destiny into
any channel she wished, according to
admissions made by Won Kapff in a suit
for s295.15 brought against him in Jus
tice Van Nostrands court by the wo-
man in question.
Won kapff is car dispatcher in the
employ of the United Railroads, but
his chief business seems to have been
to humor Miss McKinnon's whims. 1t
was at her suggestion, he said. that
he married his present wife, was di-
vorced from her, and later remarked
her again. He admitted that during the
past two years Miss McKinnon, had
loaned him 1866, which he spent largely
in entertaining her and paying ali
mony. He claimed, however, that this
had been repaid. and showed a re-
ceipt for the amount asked. signed
by Miss McKinnon. She claimed that
the receipt was merely a fake, signed
by her in order to keep Won. Kapff
from losing his position. and that the
money had never been paid.
The. court decided the case in favor
of Miss McKinnon, stating that man
would voluntarily testify to having had
Illicit relations with a woman and to
having borrowed money from her with
which to entertain her and pay alimony
to another woman, could not be believed
under oath. Mrs. Won Kapff was pres
ent during the hearing but made no
nor comments on the tes-
timony of either of the principals.

SLEEPER NARROWLY
ESCAPES DEATH,

Martin Flanagan, an employe of the
Morton Delivery Company, residing at
the corner of Seventh and Brannan
streets, chose g most unusual place
yesterday morning in which to com
plete his nights rest. He selected a
thin railing around his domicile,
twenty feet above the side walk The
footing was dangerous and the SOM
nambulist was precipitated head fore
most to the ground, with the result
that he was taken to the Central
Emergency Hospital, suffering from a
broken rib and-a fractured shoulder.
The strange part of the sleep-walk-
er's mishap is that he knows intuitively
when he retires that he will make
one of ~his~~~mystic -perambulations
around the, cornices of the building in
which he happens to be sleeping, but
he has no power to ward off the dam
gerous performance. Last night he
had the premonition that he would take
one of his dangerous night walks. At
an early hour yesterday morning he
opened his bedroom window. eau
tiously placed his feet on the thin rail-
ing and essayed to make tour of the
house. He failed in the undertaking
and fell to the ground, where he was
later picked UP more dead than alive
Heretofore Flannigan says that his
sense of distance and sure e-footedness
has never failed him in his hours of
slunber. Some mystic power, he as
serts,. has on all similar occasions be-
fore, guided his footsteps, but yester-
day morning the mysterious influence
which had safeguarded him in the past
was absent and he had a terrible fall
AS he struck the ground head foremost
IL is remarkable that he was not killed
The hospital surgeons stated that in
six. weeks the sleep-walker will again
be able to sleep in his own bed.

TELLS STORIES
OF OLD JAPAN

Stories of. Old Japan" was the sub
ject of an interesting lecture delivered
last night by Miss kafherir" M RaN
at Christian Science hall. The stories
were limited to Japanese mytholoss,
and were illustrated by stereopticon
views The seven gods of happiness
were described, and following this
were the pictures of sacred animals
some mythical. and others to which
divine functions had been attributed.
The more important of these is the
dragon, which was supposed to rule all
the celestial forces, SUCH as thunder,
lightning, winds and similar things.
There were 65 views presented.
Miss Ball spent summer in Japan
three years ago. and occupied the time
in study of Japanese art, which has

S. Fay. general manager of the Great
Central Railway of England. made this
statement yesterday. He seemed sur
prised that the report had reached the
United States to the effect that the
London smart set had demanded sep
arate smoking cars and denied it firm
ly. The English railways cannot af-
ford to supply separate cars for tho
not ask for them. If they wish to
smoke they travel in the ordinary
smoking cars with the men,"
S. Fay is travelling over the United
States in a private car. His tour is
one of pleasure, though he is picking
up American ideas of railroading. He
is accompanied on Ais trip by Superin-
tendent A. L. Homes of the London and
Southwestern Railway, General En-
gineer William O'Donnell of the same
line and Superintendent r. j. Dutton

UNABLE. To AGREE
ON THIRD NAME.

yesterday. respectively acceptable to
the United Railroads and the carmen's
union. for the position of third arbi-
traitor for the strike settlement. No
one name appeared on both of the
lists and no agreement was reached.
1t is, however, probabl that the man
selected will be one of the justices. of
the Supreme Court.
BY the carmen the following names
were suggested:
Ex-Judge J. G. Mcguire, Judge F.. j.
Murasky, Father p. C. Yorke, Archbish-
op G. w. Montgomery, H. Weinstock.
Mutually countered with a list which
included the name of every justice of
the Supreme Court and the entire ju-
dietary of the Ninth Federal Circuit.
You may select any Judge on these
lists" Mutually said to Cornelius, and
with this coup he places the carmen
in a position where they must discredit
the highest judiciary of the State or
pick their man from the judges.
Il consider my position an eminently
fair one said Mullally yesterday after
noon after Cornelius and Worthing-
ton had left to confer with the other
members of the joint committee of the
unions IF it had been submitted ito
same light. The justices of the Su-

After lying unconscious for two days
on a cot at the Central Emergency
Hospital, Mrs. Jane Thompson has at
last suecumbed to the injuries she re-
ceived in q fall in Golden Gate Park
Tuesday night. She died at $3.50 o'clock

OF Mrs. Thompson at the time she re-
ceived her fatal injuries. has satisfied
the Police Department with a thor
ough explanation Of his actions in con-
nection with the case on the night of
the occurrence. and as result the
Chief of Police has recommended his
release But, owing 10 the fact that

hold Bambino until after Thompson S
arrival.
