MEN OF MIND SOUGHT GOLD.
Proof That Forty-Ninsrs Were of More
Than Ordinary caliber.

While in d village library in south
ern England l CHANGED to find a set
Of the first authorized English edi-
ton OF Bret Harte's works, issued in
1880. The preface to this edition
contains the following interesting
tribute to the California gold seek
ers:
"The faith, courage, yigor, youth
and capacity for adventure necessary
to this emigration produced a body
of men as strongly distinctive as the
companions of Jason. Unlike most
pioneers the majority were men Of
profession and education; all were
young and all had staked their fu-
ture in the enterprise. East
ern magazines and current eastern
literature formed their literary recre-
alton and the sale Of the better class
OF periodicals was singularly great.
Nor was the taste confined to Amer
lean literature. The illustrated and
satirical English journals were as
frequently seen in California as in
Massachusetts, and the author re-
cords that he has experienced more
difficulty in procuring a copy of
Punch in an English provincial town
than was his fortune at Red Dog OF
'One-horse Guleh.' An audience thus
literally equipped and familiar with
the best modern writers was natural
ly critical and exacting and no one
appreciates more than he does the
salutary effect of this severe dis
cipline upon his earlier efforts"
Few people read prefaces, and
English people probably took their
ideas of the typical Californian from
Harte's stories. In any event that
view has largely changed to-day.

ONE, AT LEAST.

Luther Babcock, the plant wiz
ard, showed last month to the stu
dents Of Stanford university a APP
pie that was sweet on one side and
sour on the other.
"This apple shows us" Mr.. Bah
cock said, show different treatments

shows how environment causes the
most radical changes"
He smiled.
CAS- in apples, so in men," he
said. There used to live in Santa
Rosa a good, kind man, but unfor-
tunately, he married a shrewish
wife, and the woman changed his
nature.
Zone morning after his wife had
called him a ood-for-nothing loafer
and snatched his breakfast away, he
started off, hungry and sore, for
work.
"a sour-looking woman entered
the car he was on. She got into a
violent dispute with the conductor
over her change. Finally, red with
rage, she looked about her and
said:
Is there a gentleman in this car
who will stand by and see a lady
insulted?'
"The hungry man whose nature
had been spoiled, rose eagerly.
Yes, madam, he said, & will /"

HISS MANY MEANINGS.

''The hiss" said an actor, 'does
not only mean disgust and reproba-
ton. In Japan, for instance, it
means delight. A japanese, in
greeting You, misses.
"In West Africa the hiss denotes
establishment. There 1 would hiss

"1n the new Hebrides they hiss
before anything beautiful. Do you
see the large turkey in front Of
that shop? Well, a New Heberi-
dean, ~beholding it, would hiss.
"The Basutos hiss in sign of cor
dial agreement. When a candidate
for Office scores a point a hiss from
the Basuto audience is his re-
ward.
"Among the Kabyles the hiss de-
notes satisfaction and content. At

MUSIC AS TooTHAcHE CURE.

1t is something new to learn that
music has power to sOothe a man
with the toothache.
DR.. G.. Norman Meachen. NJ. D..
said that there was a recorded case
where the sufferer from toothache
became so interested in a pianoforte
solo that he forgot his ailment and
became almost lively. The lecturer
claimed that music was an impor-
tant factor in several other all
ments, for instance, insomnia. There
were several instances on record
where sleeplessness had been cured
by means Of music. In 1896 a
little child suffering from insomnia
was cured by means of music where
all other mans had failed.
Continuing, DR.. Meachen said it
was chiefly in nervous disorders
mania, melancholia and idiocy-
that music "a most eficacious, but
1t had been known to reduce the
temperature of a patient suffering
from fever. Music had also the
power Of ~distracting the attention
of the insane.

sEABoARD TO CUT EXPENSES.
Force in Mechanical De-
partment at Norfolk.

NORFOLK. Va, September 25.-The Sea-
board Air Line railway has begun to cut
expenses in the mechanical departments
OF the system, and yesterday afternoon
every painter and coachbuilder in the
coach departing mt at the Portsmouth shops,
with the exception of sixteen, were dis
charged. Instead OF working ten hours a
day in the freight yard, beginning with
today nine hours will constitute a day s
work.
A number OF the men discharged have
been in the employ OF the Seaboard Air
Line for many years. None OF the en-
ployes expected the discharge. They say
there is considerable work In their line
the shops and with the small force re-
tanned it will be absolutely impossible to
keep up with the work.
II Is understood that discharges will be
made in the mechanical departments
throughout the entire system, and 1t is said
that the small force retained at the shops
will not be increased until next spring.

ORGANS MAKE TROUBLE.
Primitive Baptists Turn Out Biggest
Churches in Georgia

ATLANTA, September 23.-Twenty prinl-
ltiVe Baptist churches in Georgia commons
ly known as "hardshell," have been de-
clared outside the pale because they have
installed organs.
This action was taken by the governing
body Of the "hardshells" and has been ap-
proved by the various organizations. The
churches turned out have a membership
of about 5000 and are among the most
prosperous in the state. In turning out
the churches the governing body says that
In putting in organs the churches were
following the promptings of the devil and
not of God and that true Christians can no
longer hold them in fellowship.
The Prfmitives are the original Baptists
the Missionary Baptists having split off IN
1887 because the Primitives opposed mis-
sions and Sunday schools.

DIRECTORS 1NDoRsE BARR.
Friends of Latter Score Victory Over

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION, Va, Sep
TENDER 25-The board OF directors of the
jamestown Exposition Company, after a
heated session of six hours, last night
pa ssed a resolution asking James NJ. Barr,
who resigned drecto- general, to re-
consider his action, and In an effort to
relieve the awkwardness of the situation
against which MI. Barr in his resignation
complained, passed a resolution putting in
the hands of a committee all the power OF
entertaining, handling official functions,
etc, but with the provision that all esti-
mates for expense herewith must be first
approved by the dr5cto- general.
BY passing these resolutions the d.rec-
tors have virtually upheld Mr.. Barr. but
the results were not reached except after
a vigorous fight. and even now II is not
known whether their efforts count, for Mr.
Barr is out of the city and cannot be
reached 10 say whether he will reconsider
his action.
At the meeting delegation of state COM
missoners, headed by j. William Baugh-
man Of Maryland, called in. and they pre-
sented resolution commencing the work
of Mr.. Barr and asking the directors to
persuade him to continue at the head of
the exposition. Then the argument went

that in that way Mr. Bar would haNi
