REACH NEW YORK WITH
SILENT" SMITHS BODY

NEW YORK, May 5.-Mrs. James
Henry Smith and her party arrived to-
night with the body Of silent" Smith.
after a most pathetic trip across the
continent. Every day during the trip
Mrs. Smith walked the length OF the
train several times to stand beside the
remains of the man to whom she was
welded for such a brief period and
her grief was so apparent as she made
these visits to the baggage car that
the sympathy of every fellow-passen-
ger went out to her.
The party consisted OF Mrs. Smith.

who were with the Smiths on their

sary in this country to dwell too long
upon the object lesson which has been
before it Of this phase of the question
with regard to our staple industry. In
the early history of Hawaii when sugar
cane was only grown in such small guam
titles as to satisfy the local require
ments Of the natives, it is improbable
that the plant was attacked to any APP
preciable extent by either fungoid or
insect pests. AS the industry has de-
veloped, however, and the area of pro-
duction increased to extraordinary pro-
portions, together with the growth of
successive crops upon the same land,
the development of special breeds of
cane has rendered the crop itself sus
ceptible to the ravages of special dis
ease, and has also facilitated the in
PRODUCTION of enemies from other coun-
tries. So great has been the effect of
these onslaughts that were it not for
the prompt and energetic application
of chronological and other scientific
methods it is questionable whether a
ton of sugar could now be exported
from the Islands. With regard to the
sugar planter, the enormous ex-
tent of the industry, enables him in
Hawaii to equip and maintain scien-

pert officials, to combat the evil. With |

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes p in Il
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this pc r d
likely to become active and with
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and turnors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil. palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi
ness are promptly needed by intel
lipent women who are approaching

FORCE TO
 BE INCREASED s. D. and A. R. R. to Double Surveying
 Corps THE VALLEY ROUTE
Is Yet to be Determined. Railroad Company May Buy Dredger

All preliminary surveying for the San Diego and Arizona rail- road between this city and the western edge of the desert has been completed and the force of surveyors and assistants has been largely increased in order that no time may be lost in com pleting the final location of the line. The total number of sur veyors and assistants has now been raised to seventy-fve, all of whom will soon be at work locat- ing the exact line of the road over the mountains. This En- gineer Kallright expects to have completed by the middle of De- cember.
 A force of surveyors under the consulting engineer is now at work on the railroad examining alternate routes and reporting on them to the office in San Diego. There are several points along the line between San Diego and Yuma where, two or more routes present themselves, it being a hard matter to decide just which it would be wise to select. With the aid of the figures being sub mitted by the men on the ground Engineer Kallright is rapidly de- ciding these problems and pre- pairing to have the entire right of way speedily and definitely fixed.
 Bids for the dredging of a DOT tion of the Hartupee tract in or der to fill in the right of way across a swamp In that section, have been called for. If for any reason these bids are not accep- table, the San Diego and Ari- zona may purchase a dredger, securing one of the most modern and best equipped and will do the dredging itself. Upon the completion of the work in the Hartupee tract, the dredger will be taken to Coronado and used there in dredging out that sec tion of the bay between the fer ry and the machine shops on the east shore. The dredger will then be maintained in San Diego harbor to do any work of the Spreckels companies.
 Notice has been served on the w. P. Fuller company to vacate the brick warehouse occupying a portion of the right of way at H and Columbia streets. It is planned to use this warehouse as place of storage for the mater ial of the engineering corps of the railroad until such time as it Becomes necessary to remove it from the right of way.

COLDS BLIGHT ON INSECT LIFE.

Late Season Means Wholesale De-
struction of Lesser Creatures.
Men SILVER and grumble at unreason-
able cold weather. and, Judging from
| the huddled, llstless forms of the chip
hunks and birds, they also are far
from happy, says the New York Post
But what about the lesser creatures
answer Will be found by making an
examination of a single square yard of
ground in the open woods, bordering on
small pond.
Near the edge OF the water are more
than a hundred and fifty insects and
spiders which have succumbed to the
cold. Most of these are small flies
which became numbed while passing
over the water, fell into II and were
drowned The spiders were caught by
the driving wayelets and were too
chilled to escape. The entire 1856
spread out upon piece of paper, make
only a small show, and yet each was a
perfect little organism of life with its
Joys and sorrows.
Under a bit of bark, foot from the
water, Is a benumbed butterfly, which
comes to life In the warmth of the
hand, but will soon perish unless the
friendly sun brings renewed ylgor. Be
meath a stone trio Of young earth
worms lie blanched and dead, and
beetle struggles weakly off, hardly able
to move Its legs
But Ii Is near the landward edge of
our square yard that the greatest loss
of life has occurred. Under tiny
bank OF turf, an ants nest had been
built, and the blight of cold and rain
had fallen at the time OF the emerging
of the winged males and females. All
of the hundreds of eggs had been care
fully tended, the larve fed and the
mummy-llke pup@ guarded against all
HARM and now all had persisted. The
water had seeped through the soil from
above the bank and formed a tiny pool
below. which was covered with dead
ants, most of them still with the gauzy
wings of their honeymoon trip A hasty
count reveals 2s4 small bodies.
AS the investigator stands up and
straightens his cramped back, ray OF
bright light comes from the setting sun !
and an orlole MARBLES clearly. He
thinks of the warm summer days yet I
to come, and forgets the many score ,
Of little lifeless forms at his feet.

COINS AND FACES ON THEM.
Features of Rulers Abroad, Here
the Emblem of Liberty.

Features of Rulers Abroad, Here
the Emblem of Liberty.
Coins of most of the nations bear
upon them the faces of their rulers. In
the United States each coin has an
emblem of Liberty.
The first coins struck after the for
nation of the federal union bore the
face of George Washington. Gen.
Washington disapproved of the custom
and it was dropped. 1t has never been
! revived.
Portraits of prominent Americans
appear upon postage stamps, internal
revenue stamps and paper money, but
never on coins. And it has been the
custom to use no portraits of living
men even on the currency and the
stamps.
In England as soon as King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria the queens
face gave way to that of Edward on
all the coins and stamps in the British
empire. The accession of new ruler
In most monarchies means an instant
change In the design of the coins.
But there is an exception to the rule
of no portraits on American coins. The
emblem of Liberty on the l-cent coin
Is the goddess in an American Indian
headdress, but the face shows no char
acterlstics of the North American abo-
rigine.
1t is the face of a little girl, Sarah
Longacre Keen, upon whose head was
placed the feathered ornament of a
Sioux Indian. Her father was an en-
graver and he placed his daughters
head on the coin.
Sarah Longacre Keen died In Phil
adelphia not long after having served
thirty-five years as the secretary of her
city's branch of the Methodist Women's
Foreign Missionary Society.

LOST RIVERS.



Lost In the streets OF London, los
beyond all help of police or town crler
There Is something weird in the very
words, 'lost rivers" Something sug
gestive of caverns and of the dark and
4 incidentally, of treasure. In the cases
OF these departed streams there are
i caverns and dark and treasure truly
enough, but the rivers have gone for
ever choked up by the great oyerbear-
Ing city which knows no check in Its
mighty growth. In Mr. Heckethorns
London Souvenirs" there is a descrip-
ton of some of the waterways which
that town has brought TO naught
In the ancient days numerous rivers,
rlvulets and brooks ran through the
land now paved so closely, and crossed
and recrossed by streets and subways,
Some OF those rivers of the past were
So large as to cause serious inundation
Now they have totally disappeared,
and men walk easily on asphalt pave
ments instead of picking their way
over stepping stones or crossing small
foot-bridges.
In digging London cellars shovels
often uncover evidences not only of
land but of water life. In 1895 man,
excavating at Cheapside. fifteen feet
below the pavement, came on the chan
mel of brook on the bank OF which
was tree sawed into five steps so
that one could step over the same
brook" In 1884 a river channel was
uncovered, with an ancient landing
stage of mosaic pavement.
Laying the foundations of the Ma
tional Safe Deposit Building brought
to light at the depth of forty feet the
ancient course of the Wellbrooke, In
the bed of which was found an enor-
nous quantity Of broken crockery and
kitchen utensils evidence that the
careless cook or maid OF English Rome
had ways OF concealment not unlike
those of to-day. The banks OF the Well
brooke were favorlte sites for fashion
able villas
The River Fleet formed an impor-
tant part OF London topography. Ex-
tenslve gardens ran down to the riv-
er's edge Old bridges and piers have
been discovered; ancient wharves and
anchors, all hidden under the hurry
and stir of modern and dry London.
