BOARD or HEALTH
ORDERS A CLEANUP

The board Of health last night d.
rected the City Scavenger Co. to
proceed with the removal of de-
funct cats, and other Objectionable
matter along the river bank below
the city dump. 1t is believed that
the most of this stuff got there
when the dump was ,ised for gar
bage that is now consumed in the
crematOry.
Attention was called to presence
of offensive matter on complaints
of residents of that vicinity and
an investigation followed. The
channel of the river is also in bad
shape in that neighborhood, being
literally strewn with decaying rep
resentatives of both the animal and
vegetable kingdom.

The Spanish Duchess.

A duchess enters shop. Do you
imagine she will be more courteously
received than little milliner? Not at
all, for both are instantly made at
home and treated to the hidalgo's fin
est manner. But she will never be the
less duchess because she and the
shopkeeper are on the best of terms
Her Inconsistencies of her rank in
everyday relations, which would stupe-
fly an English duchess, comes from the
fact that she belongs to prouder race
Had she a mind to sport her coronet
in a shop the owner and his attendants
would speedily make short work Of
her decorative dignity. To them it
would simply mean an underbred and
foolish exhibition. for impertinence
and vulgar haughtiness are not defects
the Spaniards will tolerate. = Black

Burned to Death.

Tuesday morning about eleven
Marie Zanna, the only child of Mr.
and Mrs Antoine Zanna, of Campo
Seco, was so frightfully burned,
through her dresses catching fire
while playing with matches, that she
died in great agony about three in the
afternoon. DR.. Phillips was summon
ed shortly after the accident, but got
only as far as Paloma, where he re-
ceived telephone that it was too
late. The child, which is only four
years old. was at neighbors playing
with little boy. They had procured
some matches somewhere and we're
probably trying to start fire when
her clothes took fire. She at once
started on run for her home, fan
ming the flames with every step she
took, and screaming as she ran. -Four
grown people, who saw her as she
started to run tried to catch her, hut
she was so badly frightened and in
such great pain that she easily out
distanced them. When she got to her
home there was hardly a piece of
clothing on her.
1t is only about year and a half
ago that the Zannas moved to Campo
Seco from Sutter Greek, where they
had lived for some time and the child
was born. MIR Zanna purchased a
store there and shorty after was en-
tirely burned out, but rebuilt it
almost Immediately. And now comes
the greatest misfortune of all-the
death of their only child by burning.
The funeral was held Thursday
afternoon at three o'clock from the
Catholic church in Suffer Creek.

A BUSINESS LESSON.
How Peter Cooper Taught One Man
the Value of Money.

How Peter Cooper Taught One Man
the Value of Money.
Peter Cooper was one of the most
successful, careful and prudent bust
ness men of his time. He was strong
ly opposed to the methods of many
merchants who launched out into ex-
travagant enterprises on borrowed
money, for which they paid exorbitant
rates of interest The following anec-
dote illustrates this point very forci-
bly,:
Once, while talking about a project
with an acquaintance, the latter said
he would have to borrow the money
for six months, paying interest at the
rate of per cent per month.
"Why do you borrow for so short a
timer" Mr.. Cooper asked
Because the brokers will not nego-
tiate bills for longer"
"Well, if you WISH" said Mr.. Coop
er, 81 will discount your note at that
rate for three years"
care you in earnest?" asked the
would be borrower
Certainly I am. 1 will discount
your note for $4,000 for three years
at that rate. Will you do it?''
"Of course WILL" said the mer-
chant.
Every WELL" said Mr.. Cooper "Just
sign this note for $4,000, payable in
three years, and give your check for
$500, and the transaction will be COM
plete."
But where is the money for me?''
asked the astonished merchant.
"You don't get any money" was the
reply. "Your interest for thirty-six
months at 3 per cent per month
amounts to los per cent. or $1O,9OO.
Therefore your check for $500 just
makes US even"
The force of this practical illustra-
ton of the folly of paying such an ex-
orbitant price for the use of money
was such that the merchant determined
never to borrow at such ruinous rates,
and he frequently used to say that
nothing could have so fully convinced
him as this rather humorous proposal
by Mr.. Cooper.

Heavy Machinery.

The driving shaft of the big dynamo
that was completely wrecked in the
disaster at the Standard Electric
Company's plant at Electra in August
last, was so sprung or twisted in that
trouble, that it had to be shipped to
San Francisco to be Strengthened. 1t
was sent away last Tuesday, one of
Piccardo's big teams doing the haul
ing from Electra to MartelIs. It
weighed $1,000 pounds. The bridges
and culverts between Electra and
the depot had to be braced and
strengthened for the ordeal. Every
thing is running smoothly at the
plant, with the six dynamos furnish
ing power. One of the big sdynamos
put out ofcommission in August has
not been replaced yet, as it takes
some months to fill an order for such
machine in the factories in the east.
The big load started from the plant
Tuesday, mounted on a truck made
specially for such loads. with sixteen
animals of Piccardo's best attached
thereto. On reaching the grade a
quarter of mile from Big Bar
bridge, the king bolt pulled out in
some way, letting down the ponder
GUS lead with a thud. The truck
being low, and very strongly built.
there was no serious smash But it
was quite an undertaking to get the
front wheels connected again. The
accident happened Tuesday afternoon,
and it was not until next day that
the team was in shape to start again
on its journey. The load reached
jackson last evening, and was held
near the brewery until this morning,
when it was again put in motion, and
will no doubt reach the MarteIl depot
to-day.

TYBURN TREE.
Lord Ferrers' Tragic Journey to the
Famous Old GaIIows.

Park lane was Tyburn lane, and it
seems as if the gallows-described in
an old document as movable-at one
time stood at its east corner. 1t was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hung in 1760 for numbering his serv-
ant. Horace Walpole's words paint
the picture we'll: HE shamed heroes.
He bore the solemnity of a pompous
and tedious procession of above two
hours from the Tower to Tyburn with
as much tranquility as if he were only
going to his own burial, not to his own
execution" And when one of the
dragons of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said, 81 hope there
will be no death today but mine"
On went the procession, with a mob
about it sufficient to make it's progress
slow and laborious. Small wonder that
the age of Thackeray, with Thack-
eray's help, set up its scaffolds within
four high walls Asking for drink,
Lord Ferrers was refused, for. said the
sheriff, late regula tons enjoined him
not to let prisoners drink while pass
ing from the place of Imprisonment to
that of execution, great indecencies
having been committed by the drunk
enness of the criminals in the hour of
execution. "And though" said he, my
lord, I might think myself excusable
in overlooking this order out of regard
to your lordship's rank, yet there is an
other reason, which, am sure, will
weigh with you-your lordship is SEN
sible of the greatness of the crowd;
we must draw up at some tavern; the
confluence would be so great that it
would delay the expedition which
your lordship seems so much to de-
sire" But decency-so often paraded
by those who outrage it-ended with
the murderer's death. 'The execution
ers fought for the rope, and the one
who lost it cried-the greatest tragedy,
to his thinking, of the dayw-London

HIS RULING PASSION.
Old Harpason Carried 1t to the Brink
of the Grave.

Old Harpaeon Carried It to the Brink
of the Grave.
The following story is commonly re-
lated as true in France: Old Harpagon
was fast approaching his end. His
sufferings were very great, but he COM
forted himself with the thought that
as he could not eat there was so much
saved at any rate.
"Well, DOCTOR" he said in a feeble
voice, show long have 1 yet to live?"
.'Only half an hour. Would you like
me to send for somebody-a clergy
man, for instance?'
Harpagon was silent for q few mo-
ments. He passed his hand over his
chin, bristling with a grizzly beard of
several days growth, when a sudden
thought struck him, and, turning to the
doctor, he gasped excitedly:
''Quick-send fora barberw
The barber soon afterward arrived
with his shaving tackle.
Harpagon. whose voice was getting
weaker, asked him, -charge-two-
pence for shaving?"
THAT'S the price," was the answer.
"And-how much-is it-for shaving
"a corpse?"
The barber paused a moment and
then said, give shillings.'
''Then-shave-me-quickly," STAN
mered old Harpagon, casting a fever
ish glance at the watch which the doc
tor still held in his hand.
He was too feeble to utter another
word, but the doctor understood the
mute appeal and said:
Fifteen minutes mOrer'
A smile of satisfaction stole over the
features Of the patient. The barber set
to work and in a very short time fin
ished his task Notwithstanding the
nervous twitchings that distorted the
face of the dying man. When the op-
GRAFTON was over old Harpagon utter
ed sigh of relief and was heard to
whisper:
THAT'S good thing-four shillings-
and tenpence-savedp' And he breath
ed his last.-London Chronicle.

AeeIess Love.

1t is a splendid thing to think that
the woman you really love will never
grow old to you. Through the wrinkles
of time, through the mask of years, if
you really love her, you will always
see the face you loved and won. And
a woman who really loves a man does
not see that he grows old. He is not
decrepit to her. He does not tremble.
He is not old. She always sees the
same gallant gentleman who won her
hand and heart.-Robert G. Ingersoll.

A Curious ANOMALY.

Until a few years ago the Philippine
Islanders held their Sunday ON the day
which was Monday to the inhabitants
Of the neighboring island of Borneo.
This curious anomaly arose from the
historic fact that the Philippines were
discovered by Spanish voyagers COM
ing from the east round Cape Horn.
while Borneo was discovered by Por-
tuguese coming from the west, and sail
ors lose or gain day according to
their direction in crossing the Pacific.

Origin of Mr.. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that is
to say, he had only Christian name
without any kind of handle" before
it or surname after it. Some means
of distinguishing one John or William
from another John or William became
necessary. Mechanics derived from
a mans trade or his dwelling place or
from some personal popularity were
tackled on to his Christian name, and
plain John became John Smith. And
yet there were no "misters" in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fell
lows, became perhaps a landed pro-
prietor or an employer of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the
Norman-French of the day the "mais-
ire" of this place or that, Of these
workmen or of those. In time the
"maistre" or "maister,' as it soon
became, got tackled on before his
name, and he became Master Smith
and his wife was Maistress Smith
Gradually the sense of possession was
lost sight of, and the title was con-
ferred upon any kindly mere pos
session of wealth or holding position
of more or less consideration and i'm
portance.
