Assemblyman Stricken With
ApopIexy on Ferry Succumbs
at Home of Daughter

Harvey S. Blood, assemblyman and
one of the Oldest pioneers in Calaveras
county, who was stricken with apopleXy
while crossing the bay on ferry boat,
died at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. Tilden Tognazzini, 2200 Green
street, at o'clock last night.
Blood was coming to San Francisco
for the purpose of taking his two
grandchildren back with him to his
ranch in Calaveras county when strlck-
en-. He was hurried to his daughter
home and every effort made to save his
life, but he died without recovering
consciousness.
Blood was one of the best known
men in Calaveras county. In the early
days he conducted a toll gate on the
road which ran from the Big Trees in
Calayeras county to Carson valley In
Nevada. He was heavily interested In
mining property in this state and Ne

RAILWAY TO CONNECT
THE CAPE AND CAIRO
Cecil Rhodes Visionary" Idea
Will Be Realized

Only a few years ago men still spoke
of Africa as the Dark Continent and
regarded Cecil Rhodes scheme of a
railroad from the cape of Good Hope
to the shore of the Mediterranean as
visionary-at least, so far as the pres
ent age was concerned Today that
gigantic railroad enterprise is within
measurable distance of completion, and
there are actually discussions now and
then, here and there. of the desirability
of paralleling 1T with rival line.
The road is now in complete opera =
tion for distance of about 2,200 miles
from Cape Town, says the New York
Tribune. That means that it has not
merely traversed Cape Colony and the
Transvaal, but has crossed the Congo
border and has penetrated that Belgian
colony for scores of miles Moreover
the route has already been surveyed
hundreds of miles farther and work is
being vigorously pushed. Connections
will soon be made with the navigable
part of the Congo river, thus giving the
northern end of the road an outlet 10
the Atlantic as well as to the Indian
ocean at Beira.
There is still a long distance between
the point now reached in construction
and Khartum, but 1t is steadily being
reduced and will soon disappear

ARCTIC WOOERS SEIZE
THEIR WIVES BY FORCE
When Husbands Tire of Conn
panions Exchanges Are Made

Arctic women marry young and occa-
sionally several times before they are
suited or suit their permanent hus-
bands, says the Pittsburg Gazette. Arc
tic courtships are brief, and there is
seldom love making beforehand.
Usually a bachelor in search or
wife-and Eskimos marry when yet
mere boys-goes to the house of his
fair one, seizes her by the hair, or any
where else that offers a firm hold, and
drags her to his home, she meantime
shrieking and struggling as If she were
being murdered, while her family gaze
with Indifference on her courtship The
more high bred the girl, the greater
her struggles and outcries and the
longer she keeps these up, it being
considered the correct thing for her
TO carry on" for two or three days,
even to the extent of running home
after her place upon the Eskimo bench
-apportioned among from three to
ten families-has been assigned her.
In addition to this place and its
warm skins, her bridegroom often pre-
sents her with a new lamp. lamp table
and water pail. Although the young
husband may be aware that his wife
entertains an affection for him, if she
carries her observance of the wedding
customs too far he sometimes cuts the
soles of her feet slightly SO that she
can not run away. BY the time her
feet are we'll she is a contented house
wife. Occasionally girl really objects
to her capturer. when, if he will not
release her-and a peace loving Eski-
mo rarely wants an unwilling wife
the girl learns to endure patiently her
fate.
Another way of wooing is to visit
the young peoples house" of village
and there select a wife. Each village
has such a house for unmarried per-
sons The youth selects a wife, and il
they like each other and their respec-
tive parents have no objections, a brief
trial marriage is followed by the cere-
mony of taking home the bride in less
violent fashion than by the hair of
her head.
Eskimo couples are generally kind
and affectionate toward each other, and
the wife is usually we'll treated, accord
ing to her code. This admits only of
entire obedience on the part of the
wife, although henpecked husbands are
not unknown. She must submit to
being exchanged when her husband and
some friend arrange the matter with
out consulting her, and for as long or
short time as her lord pleases.
These exchanges are often arranged
for her interest, however. as when she
can not accompany her husband on a
hunting expedition and he takes a
friends wife instead, leaving the friend
in charge of his own, or when a home
sick girl wants to visit her people,
when, if her husband can not take her.
some other man undertakes the journey
and leaves his wife as hostage. Re-
fractory wives are exchanged also by
way of punishment.
An Eskimo always travels with his
wife or a borrowed one; therefore, the
wifeless plight of our explorers awak-
ems astonishment and compassion. Will
ing ladies are offered them, one being
recommended to Count Won Moltke as
having "the longest hair in the settle
ment and a perfectly new foxskin
dress" both highly priced possessions
in arctic land.

FATHER WAS NOT TO BE

Why BaShfuI Parent Failed to

Jersey entered the toy store in New
York and told the floor walker he

The floor walker said Certainly" and
asked Miss wilkins to show the gentle
man music box for a little child
Miss wilkins was neat and agree
able young woman with flashing eyes.
"Step this way" she said to the young

father
How'd You Like to Have Girl
Like Me?" Miss wilkins repeated, with
a dazzling smile.
The young man blushed to the tips of
his ears. He had often read of the
temptations that beset young men in
the great city, but he had never run so
close to danger before. He resolved to
pretend IIldI he ndO not nedrd the 81

What tune does this one play?" he
asked.

ing this for my little boy he said, to
discourage her, but she was not re-
