A Little Ambiguous.

A group of interested citizens
was observed standing in front of
a billboard in one of Chicago's sub
urbs reading large poster that had
just been put up. Some of them
were greatly amused, while others
were highly indignant.
A nearer inspection showed that
the purpose Of the poster was to
advertise genuine colored min

be given at one of the local amuse-

that had reused the emotions Of the

FELL INTO MILLIONS.
The Slip by Which Rich Gold Mine
Was Discovered.

ne 0uP Wy VsIhSh q A''S'' 1870 's''''@
Was Discovered.
One Of the most productive mines
in California was discovered through
an accidental fall Of the discoverer.
He was one Of a hunting party That
had gone out from San Francisco
during the Christmas holidays.
While passing along the side of a
steep hill on narrow trail his horse
suddenly slipped and with his rider
went down into the gulch.
Happening to be the last in the
line and some distance behind the
others, he was not missed for some
moments, but when his absence was
noticed the party turned back t.
look for him, fearing some unto
ward accident. He was nowhere to
be seen, but the place where his
horse had slipped and fallen over
the, bank, together with the traces
Of the fall, was plainly visible. Fol
lowing the tracks made by the fall
ing horse and man, and when near
the bottom, the men suddenly came
upon an interesting spectacle. Just
behind clump of bushes which the
man and his steed had crashed
through on their way down stood
the horse, apparently uninjured,
while near by, on a slab of rock
projecting from the snow, the man
was capering like an Indian at a
ghost dance.
The first impression of the rescu-
ing party was that the man had gone
suddenly crazy, but as he caught
sight of them he suddenly ceased
his gyrations and shouted for them
to approach. They came, when he
showed them several Jumps of al
most pure gold he had hastily
knocked from the edge with stone
for hammer and announced his
discovery of a gold mine. The slid
ing horse had brought up against
the ledge, and the FESTIVE animal,
kicking vigorously in the efforts to
rise, had struck off the moss from
the stone and disclosed the fact that
it was a gold bearing ledge of I'M
usual richness. The find was ap-
propriately named "The Christmas
Gift" and valuable gift it proved
to be.

Fake Antiques.

People are buying English an,

and as they do not part with them
the supply is becoming shorter and
shorter. A result is that the coun-
try is full of limitations. The can

are frequently bogus. We are flood
ed with copies of antique furniture

Lost Dignity.

Irish viceroys are stripped of
their sovereign attributes as soon as
they reach English waters, which
gives point to the following story
told of one viceroy and lady with
whom he was acquainted. They
both found themselves on board the
Holyhead packet. During the voy-
age from Ireland the lady treated
the viceroy with ceremonious re-
spect. So soon, however, as the
packet entered Holyhead harbor she
said to him, 'sNow, Bobby, you're no
longer viceroy, so take my bag and
make yourself useful" p London

How to Succeed In Literature.

The qualities which consider most
conducive to success in literature are
Imagination, coupled with great
knowledge Of the world, concentration,
the willingness and ability to work
hard, a considerable knowledge Of
business and a firm determination to
ignore the instructions Of literary and
other agents with regard to what the
reading public may be supposed to re-
quire. If any author once loses his In,
dependence in writing he may be calf
ed finished, so far as any career is In
uuestion.-John Oliver Hobbies.

Josiah was hard up maker of split

than he went home, made some better

capital was 30 shillings. At sixty he
had given away 100000.

FAMOUS ACTRESS TALKS OF
HER PLAYS
Such Characters as sapho, Camille and
Carmen Are Portrayed In Order
to Teach More MerolfuI
View of Sinners

To teach to the world tolerance of the
sinner Is the reason Olga Nethersole
portrays such women as "Sapho,
Camille" Carmen" and others of that
type, according to the famous English
actress
Many women who have reached the
first rank on the stage have been asked
why they devote themselves almost en-
tirely to the portrayal of the woman
who has slnned. The answers have
been almost as varied as they were
numerous, but none has been like this
from the English favorite.
Miss Nethersole was sitting at her
desk In an apartment at the Alexandria
yesterday afternoon when Herald re-
porter called. She wore gown of
brown, with a tinge that just matched
her brown hair and eyes, and as she
turned she gave hearty English hand
shake.
Asked about her work and it's object
Miss Nethersole said:
"I am not a preacher; l am a teacher,
do not think that these women 1 por-
tray are bad women-at least, they are
not altogether bad.
1.-THE bullfight was not wrong to Car
men. She was a Spanish girl and her
point of view is different.
Easier to Die Than to Live
IT want also to teach that the wages
of sin is suffering-no, l don't mean
death, for 1t is often much easier to
die than to live. The woman who sins
and lives is greater than she who sins
and dies
"Sapho sounds the more modern note
in this particular. Camille died, but
Camille was conceived sixty years ago
and the world has changed since then.
Suffering does not come from death.

RAYS OF SUNSHINE
ARE RECORDED
New instrument Is Used in the Los
N Angeles Weather Office-ShoWers
Are Predicted by the Close
of Today

Minimum temperature yesterday, 34.S
Forecast: Cloudy Thursday; possibly
showers by night; light east winds.
Amount of sunshine recorded Tuesday
s hours and 80 minutes.
A new instrument which is now In
use at the Los Angeles weather office
enables Forecaster Wollaber to tell to
a minute how long the sun was shining
on any day. By counting up the min
utes at the end of the day he can see
whether or not Ell Sol has done his
duty by Los Angeles.
The instrument resembles a test tube
with a long, thin appendix. This thin
section is filled with mercury, while
the outside is coated with lamp black
which absorbs all the rays of the sun
When the sun shines on the tube, The
mercury rises, and when it has reached
a certain point it closes an electric cir
cult which is connected with record
ing clock. Every minute the clock
makes a little line and when the sun
is shining. this continuous line ascends
in little steps.
The rain storm which caused such a
furry in Los Angeles weather early
this week is now central over Colorado
There are no indications of q storm for
this part of the country for some time
to come.
The precipitation of last month is the
heaviest fall for December recorded for
sixteen years-5.12 inches, while 1889 is
the banner month since the Los An
geles weather department was begun
in 1877. For that month 1880 inches
are recorded. More than four inches
fell on a single day that month, and
from the 22d to the Goth, an inch or
more fell every day.
Although Angelenos have been trifle
inclined to criticise the brand of
weather being dispensed at the local
office, 1t is balmy spring weather as
compared to what the puissant east is
groaning under. The weather man Mt

grees below zero. At Modena 1t was

creasing in the ratio above indicated
scattered over a vast territory, the
value of this service is beyond COM
ment.
One of the important purposes
of the new company will be to accel-
crate the development of the system
Of telephone and telegraph lines already
covering the vast territory of the Pa
cifiC coast. This greater development
is an economic need for the advantage
of both present telephone users aud
those who are now non-userS. AS an
economic need such increased develop
ment promises a safe return on the in
creased investment. At the same time
the system will be more completely uni
fed and more closely knit together, in
way that will remove any possible eX-
cuse for the building or operating of
competitive telephone plants.
Statement of Intentions
President Scott of the new company
in giving to the press the particulars
of reorganization, says: ut is the in.
tention of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company to furnish it's pa
irons a service of the maximum eff
cheney, IL this can be obtained through
human ingenuity and financial outlay.
1T is our purpose to connect every
city, town and hamlet on this coast,
with the system, and in so doing en-
deavor to deserve the commentator
Of our subscribers, recognizing fully
that the goodwill of the communities
in which our business is transacted, is
one of the most important assets of
the company Meanwhile we trust
that the public will recognize the un-
usual conditions under which we nee
essarily labor, and extend to us GER
tain degree of patience. A great part
of our appliances and apparatus has to
be specially constructed, and orders for
material, based on our plans for the
entire system, have been so immense
that some delay in the installation of
equipment is Unavoidable
| The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company, with its tremendous invest
ment and ramifying interests, will, of
| course, Immediately take it's place as
one of the leading enterprises of the
west, and it should be source of graft
fication to the business world that Its
declared plans indicate such unbound
ed confidence in the future prosperity
of the Pacific coast.

Our water, transportation and light
companies have gone ahead of the
building operations there and when a
man gets ready to build his home ne
finds water, light, fuel and transporta-
tion awaiting him, so that pioneering is
no hardship. This has been great
factor in building up the city.
You might well cultivate this here,
but they tell me the city is growing so
fast there is no way for the facilities to
keep pace with it, much less go ahead.
