SKUNK MADE TOWNS DARK
ELECTRIC CURRENT SHUT OFF
WHEN ANIMAL CRAWLED
INTO THE WIRES.

Because a plain, ordinary skunk
was cold and wet and sought shelter
in the Gladstone mine from the
storm Redding and the surrounding
towns in Shasta county, California,
were without light or power for two
hours one morning last week, says
the San Francisco Globe. The
skunk was killed, of course, but it
took long time to find the sizzling
mass of fur and skin, and mean
while early risers at Redding search
ed for candles, while the town was
left IN darkness. Several mines.
too, that run day and night were
forced to give the night shift a long
rest.
The Northern California Power
Company's sub-station at the Glad
stone mine is an important one. The
wires enter the station through a
hole in the wall. The wandering
skunk, finding this hole and feeling
the warmth of the sub-station, tried
to crawl in. Half way through the
hole the animal came in contact with
the wires, and instantly there was a
dead skunk.
That was not all. A short circuit
was caused and the fuses were all
burned out, and Redding, French
Gulch, COram, Kennel and Red Bluff
found themselves in darkness. 1t is
estlmated that loss of several
thousand dollars to the plant at
Gladstone resulted, not to speak of
the loss Of temper in the affected
mines and towns.
The company is getting used to
this sort of thing, though, for it
has had similar trouble whenever
there has been wet weather Two
years ago great owl swooped down
on cotton-tail RABBIT and carried it's
prey alOft. Possibly elated over the
capture the owl forgot to look where
1T was going and became entangled
IN the power cOmpany's wires. The
result was that several poles were
burned out, the Juice" went in all
directions and large owl was dead
er than the rabbit it held in it's dead
talons.
Another time a fat turkey be-
lohSIHS W dn ANDERSON man got
caught away from it's home roost at
dark and concluded to roost on the
power line. The conclusion cost the
bird its life and put the company's
wires out of business for several
hours. But the worst damage ever
done to the lines was when a wild
goose, flying low, struck the wires
near Cooper City. That time all the
lines went out for several days.

Senator Bacon and His Negro Slave.

On January 18th, while the senate
was debating the omnibus claims
bill, Senator Bacon delivered an i'm
promptu little speech on the relations
between the white and black races
IN the south before the war which
deserves the wide circulation that
is being given it. The occasion was
small claim made by a negro for
property belonging to him and which
was appropriated by the federal
army, and which was resisted by Sen
ator Hopkins and other northern
senators because they claimed that
negroes, being then slaves, owned no
property, This Senator Bacon
showed to be a mistake, explaining
how negroes in almost all cases did
own property, which their masters
allowed them to make after working
out their tasks" and that some
times negroes hired their own time
of their masters and worked for
themselves, in this way accumulate
ing considerable property.
These things, so we'll known in
the south, were news to the northern
men, and it was we'll that it was
told them and there by Senator Ba-
con.
In closing he related some per-
sonal history to illustrate the at
tachment that existed between mas
ter and slave and their families.
Said Senator Bacon on this point:
I'm illustration of the kindly re-
lationship which existed between the
slave owner and the slave l was
reared, Mr.. president, as an orphan
by an elderly lady, my grandmother,
who then had no young children, and
most of whom had all left the family
before l was old enough to know
them. l lived in the country on
farm where there were negroes; a
plantation We called it in those days.

A STRANGE FASCINATION.

Aged Woman Has Attended Over
-Four Thousand Funerals.
A fascination for attending fun
erals, a strange, irresistible desire
that began when she was a small
child, and which she has been unable
to resist in her long life of more
than 81 years, has given Mrs. Re
becca Vented of Pottstown, Pa, a
reputation far and wide as a mourn
er for everybody's dead. Laugh
and the world laughs with you;
weep and you weep alone" does not
apply to her, as her record of at
tending 4,007 funerals attests.
In her carefully kept diary she
has noted that of these funerals
there were IA double ones of chill
dren, IL where husband and wife
were buried together, and seven
where three persons of one family
were inferred at the same time. In
one of the latter cases a mother and
two of her children were laid in one
grave.
Despite her advanced years and in
creasing decrepitude Mrs. Vented is
still familiar figure at funerals in
her vicinity, and says that as long
as she is able she expects to hear
