railroad offices or elsewhere in the town are not the kind who carry about much raiment with them, consequently you see in the hottest weather a male population clad in ordinary wool business suits.

There are very few old people in El Paso. One reason is that the town is young the American part of it. Another reason is that per­sons past middle life who have sur­vived the usual age of lung disease find Southern California a more congenial clime for their waning years.

Notwithstanding the heat of the day for so long a period of the year one can get acclimated to it. The blood gets .thin and tho skin be­comes tanned and cured. The air is so dry that the depression which marks the extremely hot days of this section is not felt there. I t is roasting hot and you feel as if you were being burned to a blister, but the heart and the lunj/s perforin their functions in an easy aud nat­ural manner. Sunstrokes never occur. Workmen on buildings ply their trade on the hottest days. The tenderfoot, as ho is wondering why his clothes don’t take fire, tries to remember with a degree of self- congratulation that at Tucson and Yuma and Needles it is 110 to 120 in the shade. A t night there is nearly always the respite of a cool breeze. The heat begins to mod­erate about the first of September and until the next summer's heat sets iu the weather is much like early spring here—with of course the occasional variations of freez ing and snowing and blowing. We left too early to see the sand storms which prevail in February when for days at a timo people leave their houses only on busi­ness after the manner of us Easter­ners during a blizzard. But we had several days when for three or four hours the uir was pretty well

charged w^h dust. I f , however, an_J3T Paeo sand storm is worse than some of the days that can be experienced right hero in Culver I am glad I was not there in Feb­ruary.

Tho sandy nature of the soil and the lack of rainfall prevent the growth of trees and grass and flowers. I t is only by the most persistent care that cottonwoods and elms can bo made to grow even in a dwarfed condition and then they are of but little value as shade trees. Asters and cannas and other hardy flowers and some sturdy vines are cultivated by setting them out in soil hauled in from the valley and giving them a daily supply pf water.

T h e N u m ber o f “ N on e .”It is not from disregard o f derivation

that the speech is in any s e r io u s danger. Much m ore harm ful is the deference m is­taken ly paid to it. From this results, says a w rite r in H arper's M agazine, not unfrequently a pedantic and even pain­fu l mode o f expression in opposition to the best usage, and that, too, w ithout the sligh test counterbalancing advantage. A rem arkable illustration o f this can be seen in thc case o f none as the subjcct o f a plural verb. W hen and where the outbreak o f hostility to this usage first m anifested itse lf it may not be easy to determ ine. Apparently ii was not until o f la te that anyone eve r thought seriously o f questioning the p ro­p r ie ty o f the construction. But th e fact seem s suddenly to have dawned upon the mind o f some student o f speceh that none was a con­traction o f no one. The processes o f lo g ic were at. once set in motion. N o one is exclu sive ly confined in its con­struction to the singu lar; it cannot be used w ith a verb in the plural. In that a ll would agree. The conclusion was a t once drawn that the word derived from it must be exactly in the same situ­ation. It was therefore h igh ly im proper to use none as the subject o f a plural verb. I t is needless to say to any per­son who has made h im self fam ilia r w ith ■the best usage, either w ritten or spoken, that none has been and is em ployed in ­d ifferen tly as a singular and a plural;

Question o f Im p ortan ce to L iqu o r Dealers A ppea led by State.

In te rn a tion a l L im ita tion s .Presiden t Buchanan, when asked to

protest against certain alleged acts c f cruelty charged against the papal gov ­ernm ent in . 1858, announced through L ew is Cass, secretary o f state, that this governm ent would not. in tervene in the affa irs o f another where the in terven­tion invo lved an impeachment o f thc governm ent addressed. The rule then form ulated, states Youth's Companion, has, w ith few exceptions, since' con­trolled the dealings o f this governm ent w ith other countries in such matters. Secretary Root has applied it to the situ ­a tion in the Congo region. A congress­man having urged him to institute au inqu iry into the situation, w ith a v iew to correcting adm itted abuses, he replied that the Un ited S tates has no power under any treaty o r agreem ent lo pro­pose an inquiry, and no treaty ligh t to partic ipate in any international con ference on the subject. Th ere w ill be tens o f thousands of persons in th e country who w ill regre t most deep ly that this governm ent is pow erless to act in the matter. A g rea t m any o f them, doubtless, w ill urge that hum anity requires that a strong rem onstrance be made, even i f ihere is no r igh t to intervene. In form er times there w ou ld have been little hesitation on the part o f congress to pass resolu­tions, and not very much on the part o f the suite departm ent to express sympa­thy w ith oppressed peoples in any part o f the world. Since the United States became a "w o r ld pow er," and to a cer­tain extent entangled in world politics, greater circumspection has been re ­quired. Am erican diplom atists cannot express their minds regarding the con­duct o f other governm ents quite so free ­ly as they used to do. On the whole, thc fact that we are obliged to conform to the rules o f d ip lom atic and internation­al etiquette is not to be deplored, a l­though in this case a vast m ajority o f Am ericans w ill regret that Secretary R oo t is o ffic ia lly tongue-tied.

Princeton.— W hether or not a w hole­sale liquor dealer, who sets up as such, has the lega l r igh t to sell liquor in any quantities to consumers w ithout first tak ing out a retail license, is a ques­tion the supreme court w ill be asked to decide. Herm an Bock, a wholesaler, o f Oakland City, was indicted on the charge o f se llin g (r e ta ilin g ) w ithout license. W hen the case was called the court, a fte r hearing thc argum ents of the defense, quashed the indictments against Bock. Th e state then took an appeal. Th is is thc first tim e iu many years the state has appealed from the decision o f Judge W elborn.

W a te r H as L e f t Farm lands.Vincennes.— Farm ers in some parts

o f the county have begun breaking land and some la rge fields o f oats have been planted. Farm s which were Hooded cannot be touched by the plow fo r two or three weeks. H igh water, which is now leav in g the lowlands, k illed much wheat. The Wabash is receding rapidly, as is the W h ite river. Roads in the c lay country are heavy and no loaded wagons can be drawn over them.

F if ty years ago a well-painted house was a rare s igh t; to-day an unpainted house is rarer. I f people knew tbe real value o f paint a house in need o f paint would be "scarcer than hen's teeth.” There was some excuse fo r our forefathers. Many o f them lived in houses hard ly w orth preserving; they knew noth ing about paint, ex ­cept that i t was p re tty ; and to get a house painted was a serious and cost­ly job. The difference between their case and ours is that when They w an t­ed paint it had to be made fo r them; whereas when w e need paint we can go to the nearest good store and buy It. in any color o r quality ready for use. W e know, o r ought to know by this time, that to le t a house stand unpainted is most costly, w h ile a good coat o f paint, applied in season, is the best o f investments. Tf we put o ff the b r ie f v is it o f the painter w e shall in due tim e have the carpenter com ing to pay us a long v is it at our expense. Lum ber is constantly ge ttin g scarcer, dearer and poorer, whHe prepared paints are gettin g plentier, better and less expensive. I t is a short-sighted plan to le t the valuable lumber o f our houses go to pieces fo r the w an t o f paint.

For the man th a t needs paint there are two form s from which to choose; one is the old form , still favored by certain unprogressive painters who have not vet caught up w ith the times — lead and o il; the other is thc ready- for-use paint found in every up-to-date store. Th e first must be m ixed w ith o il. driers, turpentine and colors be­fore it is ready fo r use; the other need on iv be stirred up in the can and it is ready to go on. T o buy lead and oil, colors, etc., and m ix them into a paint by hand is, in this twentieth century, about the same as re fu sing to ride in a tro lley car because one’s grandfather had to walk or ride on horseback when he wanted to go anywhere. Prepared paints have been on the m arket less than fifty years, but they have proved on the whole so inexpensive, so convenient and so good that the consumption to­day is som ething over s ix ty m illion gallons a yea r and s till grow ing. Un­less they had been in the m ain satis­factory, it stands to reason there would have been no such steady grow th in their use.

M ixed paints are necessarily cheap­er than paint o f the hand-mixed kind, because they are made in a large w ay by m achinery from m ateria ls bought in large quantities by the manufac­turer. Th ey are necessarily better than paints m ixed by hand, because they are more finely ground and more thoroughly m ixed, and because there is less chance c f the raw m ateria ls in them being adulterated. N o painter, however carefu l he m ay he, can ever be sure that, the m aterials he buys are not adulterated, but the largo paint m anufacturer does know in every case, because everyth in g he buys goes through the chem ist’s hands before he accepts it-

j O f course there are poor paints on the m arket (w h ich are genera lly cheap pa in ts ). So there is poor flour, poor cloth, poor soap; but because o f that do we go back to the hand-mill, the hand-loom and the soap-kettle o f the backwoods No. we use onr com­mon sense In choosing goods. W e find out the reputation o f the different brands o f flour, cloth and soap; we take account o f the standing o f the dealer that handles them, w e ask our neighbors. So w ith pain t; i f the manufacturer has a good reputation, i f the dealer is responsible, i f our neighbors have had satisfaction w ith it. that ought to be p retty good e v i­dence that the pain t is a ll right.

"M any men c f many k inds”—M any paints o f m any kinds;

but w h ile prepared paints m ay d iffer considerably in composition, the bet­te r grades o f them a ll agree pretty closely In results. “ A l l roads lead to R om e," and the pa in t manufacturers, starting by different paths, have all the same object— to make the best paint possible to sell fo r the least money, and so capture and keep the trade.

There is scarcely any other artic le o f general use on the m arket to-day th a t can be bought w ith anyth ing like the assurance o f gettin g your money's worth as the established brands o f pre-

i pared paint. Th e paint, you buy to­day may- not be like a certain patent

I medicine, “ the same as you have al­ways bought.” but i f not. it. w ill be because the m anufacturer has found a w ay o f g iv in g you a better artic le fo r your money, and so m aking more sure o f your next order.

L it t le G ir l ’s O bstinate Case o f Eczem a— M oth er Says: “ Cuticura R em ­

edies a H ousehold S tandby.”

"Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case o f eczema, 1 resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, aud was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physi­cian’s prescription and relied entirely’ on the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered w ith running sores. In about, six weeks we bad her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. W e find that tlie Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household stand­by, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dollars to come up on the mountain. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fair mount, Walden's Ridge, Tenn., Oct, 13, 1905.” ___

F ire Continues to Spread.A ll efforts to check the spread of

the flames at Van Ness avenue by i b low ing up a m ile o f build ings on the east side o f Van Ness avenue have j proved fruitless. The fire has spread ' across the broad thoroughfare, and from present indications the en tire western addition, which contains the homes o f San Francisco’s m illionaires and people o f the w ealth ier class, is now doomed. Th e destruction o f the western addition o f the c ity practical­ly completes the w ork o f the ravaging flames and marks the devastation o f t.he entire city.

E veryth in g south o f M arket street to Twenty-th ird is gone except the m int, and the fire is s till burning.

Th e post office was damaged by the ea rly quake, also s ligh tly by fire.

E very th in g north o f M ission street: is en tire ly gone, up to Van Ness ave­nue. and past Van Ness avenue west o f Golden Gate avenue up to Octavia street.

San Francisco, A p r il 19.— Earth­quake and fire W ednesday put nearly half o f San Francisco in ruins.

A t least 200 people have been killed, a thousand others in jured and the property loss w ill exceed $100,000,000.

Thousands o f people are homeless and destitute.

I t was 5:15 o’clock in them orning when a terrific earthquake shook the whole c ity and surrounding country. One shock apparently lasted two min- j utes and there was almost im m ediate collapse o f flim sy structures all over the city.

W a te r Suply Cut Off.Tho water supply was cut off and

when fires broke out in various sec­tions there was nothing to do but to lot the buildings burn.

Telegraph and telephone communi­cation was shut off fo r a time. The Western Union was put com pletely out o f business and the Po3tal company was the on ly one that managed to get a w ire out o f the city. About ten o'clock even the Postal was forced to suspend in San Francisco. E lectric power was stopped and street cars did not run. Railroads and ferryboats also <-eased operations.

A t M ercy o f F ire .The various fires raged all day and

tho fire departm ent has been powerless to do anyth ing except to dynam ite the build ings threatened. A ll day long ex plosions Shook the city aud added to the terror o f the Inhabitants.

F o llow in g the first shock there was another w ith in five minutes, but not nearly so severe. Th ree hours later, there was another sligh t quako.

Rush to Death.Peop le became panic stricken and

rushed into the streets, most o f them in th e ir n igh t attire. They were met by showers o f fa llin g buildings, bricks, cornices and walls. Many were instantly crushed to death, w h ile others were d read fu lly mangled. Those who remained indoors generally escaped w ith th e ir lives, though scores w ere h it by detached plaster, pictures aud artic les thrown to the floor by the shock. I t is believed that more or less loss was sustained by nearly every fam ily in the city.

B u ild ings Collapse.The tall steel fram e structures

stood the strain better than brick buildings, few o f them being badly damaged. The b ig 11-story Monad- nock office building, in course o f con­struction, ad jo in ing the Palace hotel, was an exception, however, its rear wall collapsing and many cracks be­ing made across its front. Some of the docks and fre igh t sheds along the water fron t slid into the bay. Deep Assures opened in the filled-in ground near the shore, and the Union fe rry depot was shattered. Its high tow er still stands, but w ill have to bo torn down.

R o o f S lides In to Yard .A portion o f the new c ity hall, which

cost m ore than $7,000,000, collapsed, the roo f slid ing in to the courtyard and the sm aller tow ers tum bling down with the grea t dom e being m oved but not fa lling.

Th e new- post office, one o f the finest in the United States, was badly shattered.

T h e Va lencia hotel, a four-story wooden building, sank in to the base­ment. a pile o f splintered tim bers, un­der which w ere pinned many dead and dying occupants o f the houses. Th e basement was fu ll o f w ater and some o f the helpless victim s w ere drowned.

Scarcely had the earth ceasod to shake when fires broke out sim ul­taneously, in many places. Th e fire departm ent prom ptly responded to tho first calls fo r aid, but it was found that the w ater mains had been ren­dered useless by the underground m ovem ent. Fanned by a ligh t breeze, the flames qu ickly spread and soon many blocks w ere seen to be doomed.

Then dynam ite was resorted to and the sound o f frequent explosions added to the terror o f tho people. A ll e f ­forts to stay the progress o f the fire, how ever, proved futile.

San Francisco’s Disaster.The calamity which has over­

taken San Francisco is so stupen- dous that, the mind is slow to grasp it. In the amount of prop­erty destroyed nothing like it has ever occurred iu the world’s his­tory. One’6 ideas of ihe perman­ency of things as exemplified in a solid, compact city, built to last several generations, are swept away in an instant like the gossamer threads of a spider’s web, and we are compelled to readjust our views of the fixedness of man’s most enduring works. Fire and Hood and even tempests may be reck­oned with in the construction of a city, and their destructive force a great measure overcome, but but when the foundations of the earth are unstable the mind and hand of man are helpless to avert disaster. This is the discouraging feature of San Francisco's catastro­phe. In the rebuilding of the city and rebuilt it will be, on a more magnificent scale than before—a greater amount of safety will be achieved by modern, scientific methods ot construction, but who can say that the recent earthquake will not be succeeded by a greater one against which the most skill­ful and intelligent devices will be but broken reeds? Even with a full knowledge of the causes which produce earthquakes what pro­vision is it possible to make to withstand their effects?

Added lo the immediate loss to the city and to tho many financial interests allied to it such as insur­ance, railroad and steamship com­panies and branch commercial houses, there will be. a collateral and continuing loss.111 the with- arawB1 of capital fr° m all that section tj)0 coast. or f period

of * ear9 there ™11 be a halt in the westwaru money m,dpeople, and real estate values inevery city on the coast will suffer.

But the world of mankind has gained something in this over­whelming affliction: Its heart of sympathy has been stirred as never before, and the splendid re­sponses for financial help which have been instantly made the globe over are tokens of a brother­hood which exists wherever a human heart beats Events like this shake us out of our sordid orbits and 6tir us with a desire to lend a hand to those in sorrow and want.

There is one class of workiug people who aro just now paying no attention to the eight hour work day. They are tillers of tho soil and they outnumber the people en­gaged in any other industrial pur­suit. They are up and doing at the break of day and their labors do not cease until the sun is ob­scured by the western horizon.When the planting season comes the farmer cannot lie abed until 8 o’ clock in the morning and let the weeds which have worked of nights, take his crops. He must be afield at the early dawn and he must work industriously for long hours to overcome the forces of nature. Ho cannot become sloth­ful. I f he should failure is inevit­able. The time will never come when the fanner can safely limit liis day’s work to eight hours dur­ing the cropping season. Of course the farmer is moro independ­ent than people engaged in other pursuits. I f he loses an hour it is his own time but thero are very!gather few who lose time when the season for activity arrives. Millions of farmers were at work this morning before the breakfast call.— E x­change.

I f it freez­es more or less on cold nights after they are planted no harm is usually done.

Other plants like nasturtiums, candytuft-, beets, potatoes, carrots, etc., have a larger heat require­ment and should be planted in mid spring, or at least later than the first mentioned list. They will not endure well if put out on the first days when the ground be­gins to thaw out but they should be planted before the soil gets very warm.

Corn, beans, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and many others require a warm soil and tiino will bo gain­ed if they are not planted until the soil is well warmed up to a considerable depth.

The Price of Corn.Prom time to time tho prices of

•corn have been advancing, till now they have assumed very satis­factory proportions, cash quo­tations in Chicago ranging from 43 to 18c according to grade and a few lots of special quality have been sold as high as 49c.

Wher­ever we find a bad building we are going to close, and the trustees will be informed that if they wish to continue school they will have to erect a new structure or remove the unsanitary conditions in some way.

Bogus Fifty-Cent Coins.Considerable apprehension is

felt in Indiana on account of cur­rent rumors that the state is flood, ed with counterfeit coins. The rumors have been more persistent than usual and merchants have been unusually careful of late in taking in silver coins. According to the reports, the bogus coins are 50 cent pieces and aro being cir­culated widespread among the stores where a large amount of business lessens the liability of detection. The secret servico de­partment is making an active war against bogus coins and is day af­ter day destroying pieces of money which are not genuine.

White of route No 1 is jubilant ....... , . , . , , . ___, ,over b\ miles of fine roads he says are due to the use of the split log drag by farmers along the route. Louis Twiehouse and Chris Gros- enbach were first to introduce the drag and they made two and a half miles of fine road around their farms. Others seeing their good work followed the good example and the result has been surprising even to those doing the work and organized effort is made for the use of the drag throughout that sec­tion.— Piper City (III.) Journal.

()n0 may say the drag does no good if a hard rain follows, but it it is a mistake act on this sup­position. Suppose one dragging is thrown away— but this tho excep­tion rather than the rule—it is far better to drag twice before getting the right effect than to fail to drag at tho opportune time. It is no fault o f the drag that a rain follow­ing spoils the effect. I f the drag

must bo selected to plant each of the two lots. To do this a drop­ping test with the planter iu oper­ation must be made, trying differ­ent pairs of plates until the pair is found which will drop the desired number of kernels at least ninety - flve times in one hundred drops. For making the dropping test set the planter up on blocks, or on a frame of some kind, raising it a foot or more above tho Moor, with the wheels free. Attach a handle to the driving wheel for operating the machine. I f you have no at­tachment for automatic dropping while the wheel is being turned, the dropper must be operated by hand.

Operate the planter with a sam­ple of each lot of corn to be plant­ed, using different pairs of plates until a satisfactory pair is found for each lot o f seed. Catch the* ker-

is to be given a fair trial it must nels at each drop separately, andrecord (he number until 100 drops have been made. T h o desired number of kernels at the proper in­tervals, whether hilling or drilling, should bedropped ninety-five times out of one hundred. Edge-drop plates will usually give the best re­sults. Sometimes it will be neces­sary to re-calibrate, or file a set of plates that is a trifle too small for the corn to be planted, in order to get better results than can be se­cured with the next larger size.

Do not neglect this grading and testing. Do it on the first rainy day. You will be paid for the work many times over when you harvest the crop. You can make dimes for minutes at this work. Vou cannot afford to have a poor or ir ­regular stand. A. T. W ia n c o ,

Th is cr.iy proved that they did not know Sherman. Colonel John could r.ot te ll what day or hour his com­mand m ight be detached for action.

Others w ere in plenty who would guard the shrewd planter's property as well as the cavalry colonel, and he was in demand just at present.

Although compelled to evacuate A t­lanta. the soldiers o f the Confederacy hovered near, ready to seize upon any advantage that might present Itself.

Know ing these facta Colonel Joh concluded It would be good policy io make hay while the sun shone.

W'hile he sat upon the veranda smoking and listening in a dreamy way to the conversation o f his officers, the form o f Sergeant Shanks loomed up in tho gloaming.

Colonel John looked deeply troubled hut he was not the man to avoid threaten ing evil. Such a spirit could nover have won the victories that had crowned his career.

He met his subordinate officers and ga ve them the stirring news o f the day.

Curious Medical Phenomena.A Philadelphia physician, while

making a social v is it at the houso of a friend, chanced to meet a colleague. A fte r a general conversation a re­mark was made that gave a profes­sional turn to the talk. The first physician said:

“ You know one may look into the throat o f a child and determ ine upon which foot it is standing m erely by the way the blood collects on the other side o f the body.”

" A more remarkable fact than that,” observed the second doctor, "is that by manual train ing you can actu­a lly Increase the size o f the brain o f a stupid child, so that by proper men­tal exercise it develops a marked de­gree o f in telligence.”

It is probable that t.he host began to suspect that his medical friends were trying to “ chaff” him ; at. any rate, he, as a layman, contributed the fo llow ing extraordinary addition to the stock o f medical knowledge:

“ Gentlemen,” said he, "the facta you mention are nothing compared to ono com ing under my own observa­tion. I have actually seen a man who by looking in his pocket book could te ll you what he was to have for din­n e r !” — Success.

A Message.She was gono before the soldier

could catch his breath and make a reply, gone w ith flashing eyes, sus­piciously moist, and w ith a breast that heaved under more than ordinary emotion.

A s fo r Colonel John, when he found a vacancy where the charm ing Geor­gia g irl had Just stood, he recovered his w its and sprang to the door, but

A t the table M ollie appeared to per­form her duty. H er manner was cold.John waa unusually grave during the meal. W hen he caught Mollie'B eyes she turned her head away and frowned.

Th is told him something had hap­pened to disturb her, and singularly enough he even fe lt pleased to know he had so far entered Into her life that alio could be disturbed by malicious tales affecting his honor.

Colonel John was watching his chance.

H e did not jo in the gentlemen in their post-prandial smoke upon the porch, but kept an eye upon the draw­ing room, and when a white-robed fig­ure glided into its Interior, the soldier lost no tim e in follow ing.

So M ollie, turning from the table whither she had gone to get a book, found herself face to face w ith the man she would avoid.

“ I beg your pardon. M iss Mollie, but w ill you grant me a few minutes’ conversation ," he said.

She lowered her eyes.“ I see no reason why I should, sir.”

was her reply, but although John was not blocking the way she made no attempt to pass him.

" I believe you would not know ingly be unjust to any one, M iss Mollte.Do you consider it right to condemn me unheard?”

“ I condemn you?” she said. In some scorn— "indeed, I am not bothering m y poor head about you one way or th e other. Colonel R idgeway.”

This was really a crhel cut, aad he

Father's Forgotten Classics.John was home from college for the

Christmas holidays, and one o f the things that struck the impressionable young man was that Dora Mason, the daughter o f a near neighbor, had dur­ing his absence, changed from a tom- boyish schoolgirl into a very beauti­ful young woman. H is father had also noticed it.

‘ ‘H ave ye noticed how old Joe Ma­son's daughter's shot up, John” ho asked his son. "Seem 's to me she's getting quite a handsome young crit-

villa in she believes me? O f course I can comprehend the m otive o f this Stevens woman— revonge lies at tho bottom o f it; revenge fo r the trouble I caused her up in Chattanooga, and she plays upon the fact that she has some claim upon the fam ily name, thanks to my cousin Crockett.”

Then he pondered over the matter, and presently extracted a few grains o f com fort from what had erstwhile seemed wholly forbidding.

"H e r coolness had flown— she even showed signs o f anger and m ortifica­tion. Come, John, my dear boy, have courage. If sho hadn’ t insensibly grown to care fo r you she would not have g iven way to such emotion. De­tests me— ah, don't you believe it. Fortune gave me her hand, and by the gods I shall ye t win her heart."

H aving arrived at this happy con­clusion, the soldier philosopher Joined his comrades upon the veranda, and was soon en joying a pipe o f tobacco, for in these war times tbe plebian pipe was a source of solace to officers as w ell as men.

It was problem atical how long Sher­man’s arm y would stay in Atlanta.

News Slow in Arriving.I t is a singular fact that the

news of the San Francisco calam­ity did not filter into Culver until the 0:14 train from the north brought tho evening papers. So far as we can learn not a person in town had an inkling of tho biggest piece of news that the country has ever known, notwithstanding the fact that it was known in Chi­cago early in the morning, and all the towns in this section were aware of it by the early afternoon. The towns on the through east and west lines of railroad had the advantage of being in touch with Chicago and the trains out of that city in the forenoon carried thc news.

The only Culver people dircctly interested in tho disaster were the Slatterys and Holts. Mrs. Slat­tery has a sister, cousins and an aunt in San Francisco, and Mrs A. B. Holt several relatives both in San Francisco and San Jose.

Improvements at the Depot.G. W. Geer, superintendent, C.

W. Finch, master mechanic, and F. W. Watts, engiueer mainte­nance of way, were iu town Thurs­day inspecting the company’s property with reference to several proposed improvements. I t was decided to repair tho boat house, replace the present concrete plat­form with brick, repair the depot inside and out, add some conven­iences to the agent’s office, and put in good condition the dwelling house which is occupied by the agent.
