WOMEN WERE SCARCE.
a Feminine Face Caused a Furore In
Cslifornia's Early Days.

CALIFORNIA; EARLY Days.
There were few women in the Cali
fornia mining camps in the old days.
aud the advent Of an cmigrant wagon
with woman in 1t caused furore.
as is proved by the following incident
from the "reminiscences OF former Sen
ator William NJ. Stewart women
were so scarce in California at that
time that this was sufficient to arouse
the whole camp. The boys as we
were called. were scattered along the
coyote digglngs for distance of about
four miles, and when anything unusual
happened the words, 'Oh. joe" would
be passed along the whole line When
! saw the feminine raiment / raised
the usual alarm, Oh Joe! and this
called the attention Of the miners on
Buckeye hills. where ! was, TO the
clOthcsliue which had attracted my
notice They gathered around on the
hlII nearly surrounding the covered
wagon and its contents. The rush of
the boys in the immediate vicinity to
see the wonderful sight attracted those
farther away. and in less than ten min
utes two or three thousand young men
were anxiously watching the wagon.
clOthesline and fascinating lingerie.
In alarm the man that belonged to the
woman inside stuck his head out of
small tent beside the wagon. l as
sured him that no harm was intended,
but that we were very anxious to see
the lady who was the owner Of the
clothes. This aroused her curiosity
sufficiently to induce her to pull the
curtain of the tent aside so that her
face could be discovered, but not fully
seem
II then proposed that we make n do
nation to the first lady that had hon
ored our camp with Il visit. | took
from my camp Il buckskin bag. used
for the purpose OF carrying gold, and
invited the boys to contribute. They
came forward with great eagerness
and poured out of their sacks gold
dust amounting to between $1,000 and
$1,000. l then proposed to appoint a
committee to wait on the lady and
present it. The motion was unani-
mously carried and one Of the gentle
men appointed on the committee sug-
gested myself as chairman. l took the
sack of gold and went within about
thirty feet of the tent and made as
good a speech as l could to induce the
lady to come out, assuring her that
all the men about her were gentlemen,
that thev had seen no Indies for so
many months and that the presence
of one reminded them Of their mothers
and sweethearts at home. / told her
that the bag of gold was hers on con-
dition that she would come out and
claim it. Her husband urged her to
be brave, but when she finally ven
tured out about halfway the cheers
we're so vociferous that she was scared
and ran back.
"She repeated this performance sew
eral times, and l kept moving slowly
back far enough to get her away from
the little tent so the boys could have
good view Of her. l suppose half an
hour was occupied with her running
back and forth while the boys looked
on in admiration. when l finally gave
her the bag, with all the good wishes
of the camp. She grabbed it and ran
into the tent like a rabbit. The next
morning the wagon, oxen, man and
owner of the inspiring apparel were
gone, and we never heard of them in
after life"

Cultivate Your Power.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to

DAYTON. Ohio, May 29.-Orville z.
Wright, OF Wright Brothers, has given
a description Of the Wright aerOplane.
He said that he and his brother had
solved the aerial navigation question
to the extent that. barring accident.
they were sure 20 fulfil their contract
with the Government for a flying ma
chine that viii stay in the air one hour,
travel a distance of five miles, and re-
turn at a rate of forty miles an hour.
Mr.. Wright stated that he was con-
fdent the Wright aerOplane would make
a successful fight at Fort Myer. not
withdrawing the condition Of the test
ground, which hardly could be more
unfavorable.
I believe that our machine is the
nearest approach 10 the practical hier
IN existence" said Mr.. Wright. THE
French, who claim 10 20 the greatest
investigators Of aerial .avigation. are
modelling all their machines after the
Wright type, as nearly as they can
without infringing on our patents.
With the exception or a few details Of
construction that have TO be kept secret
in order to preserve the commercial
value OF our invention. practically every
part or our machine has been patented
In every country in Europe and Amer
lea"
Mr.. Wright says the Wright aeroplane
differs from the other fiers in that II
IS much more complete than any OF
them. He describes it as follows:
Approximately II consists Of a box

long, and seven and a half feet deem.
