20 SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. Not only is Anacostia shut off from Washington, owing to the impossibility of the running of its street cars, but this morning all traffic. was suspended owing to @ large snow drift right across the An: costia end of the bridge. It was fully ten feet deep and extended over the tracks of the freight railroad which passes through Anaccstia from Bladensburg to Shepherd's Landing. A car of the latter line started through yesterday, but became stuck in this snow drift, an@ was obliged te return to Bladensburg. This morning a long line of wagons and other equipages, en route to Anacostia from Washington, stretched across the bridge, the first one being un- able to get through to Anacostia. Other persons from the county arrived in Ana- costia and were obliged to return to their homes, or, as many did, put their horses up t the livery stable and await the clearing away of the immense drift. Work com- menced on this about 10 o'clock, a large body of men with shovels teing engaged in the efforts to effect a way through. One result of the cold of Thursday night was a loss of several hundred dollars’ worth of goods by the George H. Gray Company, wholesale liquor dealers,on Mon- roe street. All yesterday morning the pep- ping of wine, champagne and Congress water bottles announced the destruction of so much stock. Material in barrels froze tight, and then the barrels burst. ‘The poor of Anacostia are still clamoring for relief, and the station house this morn- ing was besieged by applicants, while there still continues a famine in contributions. It is hardly possible for the Anacostia and Potomac River railway to run its cars owing to the strong headway of wind, which as fast as men aud the snow plow clear the way forces the snow into deep rifts again. This action is particularly noticeable near the Anacostia end of the bridge, and extends all the way up Bridge street, and around the corner on Monroe street, where drifts across the track are fully six feet deep. As yet there has been bnt little damage to the telephone wires, and communication with Washington is il! maintained in this way. There was no meeting of the Citizens’ Association last night, owing to the sever- ity of the weather. ‘The regular meeting of the Odd Fellows takes place tonight in Masonic Hall. ‘The funeral of Mrs. Biggs of Giesboro” took place yesterday at her home in the county and services were afterward held at St. Theresa Catholic Church by Rev. T. B. Hughes. —-—_— LANGDON. Rey. Church Tabor will preach morning and evening at the M. E. Church on Sun- day, February 10. He announced that the quarterly conference would meet at the church on Monday evening. - It being so very stormy on Tuesday night the Christian Endeavor Society did not hold their meeting at the M. E. Church, but will meet as usual on the following Thursday night. Mrs. E. D. Smoot is vistfing friends in the city. ‘Among those present at the dancing class were Mr. Butterfield, Mr. L. M. Sagers, Mr. Frea Heller and Mr. Gray of Hyattsville; Mr. Hurd, Mr. Thomas May, Mr. Richard Bentzner, Mr. Charles Boyd and Miss Ed- wards of Washington. Invitations have been issued for a ball to be given on ‘February 21 in Langdon Hall. Mr. John Watson, jr., of 22d street in- fured his foot by ‘catching it in the fly wheel of a printing press. Miss Verdie Catterton is staying with her aunt In the city, who has been very ill. The choir of the M. E. Church will meet for practice this evening at “White Oaks.” All are requested to be present at- 7:30 sharp. pee GARRETT PARK. Despite the bad weather Mrs. W. L. Wilson’s musicale Tuesday evening last was largely attended, and a delightful pro- gram rendered. Quite a number from Washington added largely thereto. The pumbers were as follows: Mr. J. Marsh, “Bedouin Love Song;” Miss Kerr, instru- mental solo, selected; Mr. W. Rich, “Could 12” by Fosti; Miss Josephine Phillips, solo, “Shadows;” Mr. Leroy Topping, solo, se- lected; Mrs. W. L. Wilson and Mrs. H. Gahn, duet. Train time arrived all too soon for the Washington participants, and the Park guests enjoyed a thoroughly good time until midnight. Miss Josephine Phillips has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. W. L. Solean, the past week. ‘The school will have {ts semi-monthly elocution exercises on Friday afternoon, February 15. The parents’ attendance will greatly encourage both teacher and pupi's. Mrs. W. L. Wilson will sing at Dr. Sun- derland’s church Sunday, February 10. eis WOOD FOR FURNITURE. Changing Fash' as to the Kind of Material Use From the New York Telegram. ‘The decrees of fashion in furniture affect not only the shape and design of the furni- ture, the style of ornamentation and the finish it shall receive, but the materials used as well. Twenty years ago walnut was the only wood thought really fit to make up into furniture, and it was used for the bedroom, library, dining rooms and par- lor. Oak came in as a rival for walnut, and In the course of time completely drove wal- nut out of the northern market, though it is still called for by the southern trade. When first brought out oak was finished in the natural color. Some genius discovered that by staining the wood an antique effect was produced, which better brought out the grain of the wood, and antique oak reigned for a couple of seasons. The XVI century finish, giving a clouded effect, as though certain spots had been diligently rubbed and other parts neglected, was the next effort at novelty and had a great run—until the finish was put on cheap goods with a stencil, which very effectually killed it for high-priced goods. Then the oak was stain- ed almost black in imitation of old English oak, and the finish fad was run into the ground. Oak reigned supreme as a cabinet wood for a dozen years, supplanting even any in popular favor, but today oak fs on the shelf with wainut, although not quite so far back. For fine furniture this season mahogany leads the procession by leng odds and oak is scarcely considered worth looking at—and yet it is oaly two or three years ago when nothing bat oak was asked for. For the lighter furniture bird’s- eye d curly maple, which a year ago was immensely popular,now holds the candle for curly birch, with tts beautiful mottied color end grain. Si ee LUXURY IN BATH ROOMS. Silver and China Used for the Tollet Appointmen From the New York Herald. The fittings for bath rooms are quite in keeping with the other luxuries of our modern civilization, and extremely hand- some and artistic, as well as useful, are they. The sponge, while naturalists call upon us to admire its wonderful fashioning, is, to say the least, a very mundane object, but in these fin de e days its mu danity is relieved to a great extent. longer {3 it suspended from the nearest t or some convenient nail by a string, eed in what loo! like an inverted ee toast rack. It ts placed in a broad, shallow silver dish, with a wooden bottom. silver sponge dishes are made on the same principle as the coasters in which wine bottles ure placed. They are general- ly of plain silver, with curved edges. When oue has many sponges each has its Fespective silver holder, «i the effect is quite overpowering to the ordinary mind. In every w ulated bath room there ts always a silver powder box, but of giant size, in which is fitted the immense powder uff, with stlver top, which monsieur, no jess than madame, considers necessary to use uth. This silver powder box ow and made of the same as the sponge dishes. Silver soap and innumerable small unguent xes, all of silver; glass bottles, with sil- ver tops, all must be in the modern bath room, and involve, as a rule, another serv- ant, whose care it is to keep them properly polished and in order. women prefer china to silver for sath room appointments, and dainty tiful in the extreme are many of The three-cornered jar that fits on to the tub at the end fs a great con- venience, and is really a thing of beauty, made, it Is often, of some valuable piece of china. Still, with porcelain tub and si ver pipes and faucets, the silver dishes har- monize most satisfactorily. THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1895-TWENTY PAGES: 5 IN THE CHURCHES ——__.+—_—_ The eighth annual report of the Presby- terian Alliance has just been made public and contains a review of the work the el- Mance has accomplished in the eight years of its existence. Last evening eight years ago a public meeting was held in the First Church, and as a result the alliance was organized, and Rev. Dr. Bartlett elected its first president. Of the $12,500 recently pledged to the American University $12,000 is from ex- Mayor Matthew G. Emery and the $500 from Mrs. Sharp. Two more pledges of $5,000 each have been received from Mr. Mark White and Mr. Samuel W. Bowne, both of New York city. This makes a total of $66,000 pledged to the hall of history, conditional on the total amount necessary for its erection being raised by the middle of May. From the rate pledges are coming in at present the trustees have every hope of the fund being secured. Friday evening, the Ist day of next month, the Baptist Young People’s Union of the city will hold a mass meeting in Calvary Baptist Sunday school house. This meeting is the first of a series of four pub- lic gatherings to be held during the year, all of which will be addressed by well- known speakers. January 30 was the fourth anniversary of the establishment of Holy Name pazish, and during this period a church and rec- tery has been erected at a cost, including the ground, of about $31,000. Of that amount $22,000 has already been paid, and the congregation are looking forward to the time when they can begin the erec- ticn of a larger church building. The general topic of the Methodist preachers’ meeting at Foundry Church last Monday was “City Church Extension.” Rev. Dr. O. A. Brown opened the subject by an address on “The Building of New Churches and Remodeling of Old.” Rev. Drs. Luther B. Wilson, L. T. Widerman, J. B. Stitt and Corey and Rev. M. F. B. Rice and Dodd participated in the dis- cussion which followed. Tuesday evening Maj. Powell delivered an address at a reception tendered the ladies of the First Presbyterian Church by the men’s league of the church. After. the address the High School Banjo Quin- tet rendered several delightful seiec- tions, and then refreshments were served. Sunday last was a notable day for Ry- land M. E. Church, as the congregation heard for the first time their new organ. The instrument cost $25,000, and it has been placed back of the pulpit, with the keys on the side Miss Mary Stahl is the or- ganist. Christian End2avor day was celebrated at th» Sixth Presbyterian Church by the program of exercises prescribed by the board of home missicns, consisting of mis- siorgry hymns and addresses and a review of the missionary field in the United States. An orchestra of eight pieces furnished*the instrumental music. At the morning serv- ice fifteen persons were received into mem- bership. At the instance of the superintendent of the Junior Epworth League, Mr. H. B. Leech, it has been decided to give a ban- ner to the junior chapter of the league showing the largest proportional increase in membership during the year. The ban- ner will be similar to that of last year. As scon as the weather permits, the building of another church, or, rather, chapel, for the use of the North Capitol Presbyterian Sunday echool will be begun. The entire cost of the ground, at the cor- ner of Q street and Florida avenue, and of the preposed building will be about $10,000, and will be paid ertirely by the Presby- terian Alliance. The edifice is to be of brick and stone, and the work of building will be under the direction of Messrs. Davidson & Davidsen. It is probable that a minister will not be assigned for some time, and the services will continue, as heretofore, under the direction of the North Church, of which it is a mission. ‘Tuesday evening the officers and teachers of the Luther Memorial Sunday school were tendered a reception at the residence of the superintendent, W. H. Finckel. It is said that the sanctuary of St. Stephen’s Catholic Church is soon to be en- larged, and, if so, it will be done by throw- Ing the present sacristy and sanctuary Mnto one and adding on a new sacristy. Assembly Church celebrated Endeavor day by the usual order 6f exercises, but in a@ somewhat original manner, as a young- ster of eleven summers led the prayer meeting. Many of the Episcopalian clergymen have started to organize their confirmation classes in anticipation of Bishop Paret’s spring visit. Rev. D. W. Skellenger of the Sixth Pres- byterian Church ts erganizing a boys’ bri- gade, and has met witH such success that he expects to have two full companies. A soldier of the regular army will be engaged to drill them and uniforms and accouter- ments are ineprospect. The changes that are to be made in the various Methodist Church pulpits in the city are the source of some speculation. The changes involve Waugh, Union, Fif- teenth Street and Douglas Memorial, but it fs thought that there will be simply an interchange of pastors and no removals to other districts. The Y. M. C. A. Quartet has recently re- organized and is now composed as fol- lows: E. C. Schneider, first tenor; E. L. Howard, second tenor; Chas. H. Chase, first bass; and Wm. T. Campbell, second bass. Rev. Dr. Easton, pastor of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, 6th street and Mary- land avenue northeast, will commence a@ series of Sabbath evening discourses to- morrow evening, as follows: February 10, “The Rights of Skeptics;” February 17, “Reason vs. Faith;” February 24, “Infidel- ity Up to Date; What Is It?” March 3, “Cause and Cure of Skepticism.” The mission now in progress in St. Aloy- sius Church fs attended by immense con- gregations. Last Sunday morning, when the mission was formally opened by sol- emn high mass, hundreds were unahje to obtain admission. The crowd has been steadily increasing every evening. In spite of the weather a large congregation at- tends the 5 o'clock mass every morning, and the church at the 9 o’clock mass has been packed ever since the mission open- ed. The class for converts and the class for instruction for adults were attended last week by seventy-five persons, twenty- two of whom are preparing to enter the church. The Catholic Knights of America, the Young Men’s Catholic Club, the Men's League of the Sacred Heart and the St. Vincent de Paul Society will all attend the mission next week. RE THE MISSING LINK. Skeletons Found in Java Nearer Like Man’s Than Any Living Ape’ From Sefence. “No publication of late date is likely to excite more interest than a quarto of forty pages which has just been issued from the local press of Batavia, with the title “Pithecanthropus Erectus, Eine Menschen- anliche Uebergangsform aus Java. Von Eng. Dubois, Militararzt der Niedland. Armee.” ‘This noteworthy essay contains the de- tailed description of three fragments of three skeletons which have been found in the early pleistocene strata of Java, and which introduce to us a new species, which is also a new genus and a new family, of the order of primates, placed between the Simiidae and Hominidae; in other words, apparently supply the “missing link” be- tween man and the higher apes which has so long and so anxiously been awaited. The material is sufficient for a close osteological comparison. The cuble capac- ity of the skull is about two-thirds chat cf the human average. It {s distinctly do- lichocephalic, about 70 degrees, and its norma verticalis astonishingly like that cf the famous Neanderthal skull. The dental apparatus {s still of the simian type, but less markedly so than in other apes. The femora are singularly human. They prove, beyond doubt, that this creature walked constantly on two legs, and when erect was quite equal in height to the average human male. Of the various differences which separate it from the highest apes and the lowest men, it may be said that they bring it closer to the latter than to the former. One of the bearings of this discovery 1s upon the original birthplace of the human race. The author believes that the steps in the immediaate genealogy of our species were these: Prothylobates, Anthropopithe- cus, Sivalensis, Pithecanthropus erectus and Homo sapiens. This series takes us to the Indian faunal province and to the other aspects of the great Himalayan chain as the region somewhere in which our specific division of the great organic chain first came into being. ————— ae The Merchants’ Fruit Exchange of Balti- more was opened formally Thursday in the presence of more than 200 members and many guests, including the mayor and other civic functionaries. THE INDIAN HEAD COLONY. Cut Of From Communication by the ; Iee Blockade. The naval colony at the Indian Head proving grounds, about thirty miles down the river, has been cut off from communt-_ cation with the outside world by the ice blockade and the breaking of the telephontc connection with this city, which latter event occurred on Thursday. On that day a message was recelved from the proving grounds saying that the Ice over the river was at least six inches thick, and that no vessel could reach their dock. ‘The population of Indian Head is about fifty all told, men, women and children. Lieut. N. E. Mason, inspector of ordnance, is in charge, the other officers being En- signs Chas. P. Plunkett, F. W. Jenkins and Marcus L. Miller, Assistant Surgeon C. D. Brownwell and Gunner Peter C. Hanley. Mrs. Mason, Mrs.-Plunkett, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Hanley live on the reservation with their husbands. They are all in comfortable winter quarters, with plenty of fuel and provisions, and failure to hear from them for two or three weeks need cause no ap- prehension whatsoever. It will take a week's thaw to get the testing apparatus in working order. —___—_—_+-2+_ + OUTWITTED THE JEWELER. Swindled by Diamond Thieves While Me Closely Watched Them. From the New York Herald. Joshua Chapin, a jeweler of London, while visiting a diamond dealer in Maiden lane, related this experience with clever thieves: “Long after I though I knew all the tricks of diamond thieves I had an ex- perience thet taught me a lesson at the cest of three thousand pounds. “A gentlemanly appe ring, plainly attired man came into my shop one morning and asked to see some solitaire ciamond rings. I waited on him, and did so with great cau- tion, yet tried to avoid giving offense. I placed before him a tray containing forty rings, and did not for a moment take my eyes from his fingers while he was eXamin- ing them. As is customary, the tray was filled, so that a vacant place would be readily noticed. “My customer evidently knew the merits of the stones, and was able to select the most valuable ones at sight. He appeared to enjoy examining them, and did so in a deliterate manner that aroused my suspi- ciors. Finally, he appeared to be unde- cided as to one of three rings and ended by saying he would call the next day with his wife and take one of them. This ac- tion made me the more suspicious, and I was careful to see that all of the rings were in their places before he left the shop. “When he did leave I sent a clerk after him, and we learned that he and his wife were at one of the leading hotels, regis- tered from New York. “He returned with a woman, the next afternoon, and the tray of rings was put before them. They were both very delib- erate, and examined every ring in the tray, but I took care not to have more than two spaces vacant at a time. Finally, a ring, valued at a hundred pounds, was selected, end I was told to mark it and send it with the bill to their hot2l. I was about to sug- gest that I did not like to mark the ring until it was paid for, when the man hand- ed me ten pounds, which was more than enough to indemnify me in case the ring wes not taken. “I examined my tray very carefuly and fcund that it was full, with the exception of the space that had been occupied by the ring just sold. I felt relieved, and con- gratulated myself on having made a good sale. My customer gave instructions as to the marking and left the shop. “TI handed the ring to our engraver to be marked and proceeded to make a bill to send with it to my customer. Soon the engraver came excitedly to my desk. “Do you know this ring is plated, and the stone paste?’ he asked. “I -was dazed for a second, and then I saw it all. I hurried to the tray of rings anc found every one of them like the one the engraver held. The man had made an imitation of each ring, and deliberately substituted the bogus for the genuine ones, and thus robbed me before my very eyes. I never saw the thieves or the diamonds again. CAMPAIGNE +e+—___—_. G IN ENGLAND. They Take Good Care of Public Men— Labouchere on the Lords. R. P. Porter in the Philadelphia Press. i my conversation with Lord Roschery at Bradford some weeks ago he said Amer- icans eat too fast. This, with our dry, in- vigorating climate, he continued, together with the habit of not taking time for everything, and of carrying on such tre- mendous campaigns as Mr. Depew, Gov- erner McKinley and Senator Hill had just gone through, must play havoe with health and bring on premature age. They are much more deliberate in England. The Sherness meeting was for 7 o'clock. When tve arrived in the town the hall was crowd- ed. Nearly all the seats had been re- moved. Hundreds were clamoring for ad- mission outside. Did Mr. Labouchere rush madly to the hall? Oh, no! We all went to a cozy little inn and there in a snug private parlor, with a cheerful fire blazing in the grate, found a round table with a fresh white cloth set for four. The silver, the knives, the glasses were of the best quality. It looked home- like and restful. Each of the party was shown to a bed room, clean and comforta- ble, with a plentiful supply of hot water. Then we dined quietly and without, in- terruption. It was a simple dinner-—soup, fish, a delicious joint, apple tart, cheese and coffee. There was 10 bolting of food in a public dining hall and getting up to shake hands and be introduced to strangers as I once experienced in a similar trip through Ohio with Governor McKinley. They take good care of public men here. After dinner a smoke and then we all proceeded to the hall. Meantime the audience had been amused and entertained with music and singing. Tremendous applause bruke forth when Lahouchere appeared on the platform. In- troduced with a few appropriate words by the chairman, Mr. Labouchere, with hardly any preface and certainly no display of oratory, began the speech which had been awaited by those assembled with such patience and interest. He wished them to understand he was an ultra and devout radical. The house of lords was a rotten branch of legislation and ought to be abolished, root and branch. The magic words “My lord” had no charms for him. The way to abolish them was to create a sufficient number of new radi- cal lords to vote the house of lords out of existence. It had been urged that this was not practical because they would not after being made peers keep their word. He would agree to furnish 500 good, honest shoemakers from Northampton, bring them to London and personally underwrite every one of them. This tickled the audience immensely and the applause and laughter was loud and prolonged. The hit of the evening came in what follows: Turning to me Mr. Labou- chere said: “America, my friend Mr. Porter will doubtless tell you, manages to rub along without lords.” A voice—“But American ladies marry them, Mr. Labouchere."” ‘Then followed the most deafening np- plause and laughter. It was some min- utes before the speaker was able to re- sume his speech. Then he said: “As you say, they marry them, and for my part I wish they would marry the whole blessed lot and take them over to America. But, if these noble lords have, as isevery possible, children in America, they won’t make lords of thetn there. The Americans will take very good care of that!” This was greeted with renewed roars of laughter and applause. And Yet It is a Monologue.

M. Faure, the new president of - the French republic, is welt kflown by a promi- nent French-Americantrestdent of New Or- leans, who was with M. Faure during the French cOmmune. He déscribes the new president as a man of*personal magnetism, of splendid executive tabfiity and unques- tioned bravery and firinnés. Faure began business @s a small com- mission merchant in ‘hidés, wool, &c., at Havre years ago. From‘*that, by enerzy, economy and thrift, he prospered, and bis business increased until he was one of the most extensive commission merchants In that city. He became also one of the most prominent men of the city politically, and jvst before the Franco-German war he was made first “adjoint” to the mayor of the city, and was a staff officer of the army,’ although his duties did not require his presence on the battlefield. He took an active interest, of course, in the war, and it Was owing to his efforts that the com- missary department of the French soldiery was kept well supplied. He was also a close adviser of the officials of Havre, and in every manner demonstrated great ex- ecutive talent and a born leadership. It was in 1871, during the French com- mune, however, that his personal bravery and ability to confront desperate emer- gencies was tested. While acting in the capacity of “adjoint,” or advisor of the mayor at Havre, a~request was made of him from the mayor of Paris for tiremen and engines. The city of Paris was in flames from one end to the other, and aid was being asked everywhere in engines and firemen. Faure at once called for vol- unteers and urged upon them the necessity of responding to the call. He thus raised a company of firemen to go to Paris urd fight the fires that were raging every- where. Faure showed his courage and won the hearts of the firemen and people hy going with the volunteers as their leader. ‘With all the engines the city could spure they hastened to Paris, and for three days, without rest or scarcely anything to eat, fought the flames. Faure did the duties of a fireman, and on one occasion when one of the men was asleep from fatigue, rather than awaken him, took his place and did his work. He was in a dozen perilous positions during that three days’ fight with fire, in company with his companions, and never flinched. In every instance he proved himself to be a man of determination and courage. He was first in every danger, and at the most critical times he never lost his wonderful self-possession and will power, and with his volunteer firemen he did yeoman serv- ice in trying to save Paris from the em- brace of the fire fiend. The people of Havre never forgot M. Faure’s valiant service on that occasion, and afterward, as a republican, he was elected t& the chamber of deputies. He served with several ministers as private secretary, and of late years has had more important connection with that branch cf the governmental service. He has prospered in business as well as in political affairs, and is said to be one of the most popular, as well as one of the ablest statesmen of the French republic. ph ce THE MODEL CONFIDANTE. Some of the Churacteristics Which She Ought to Possess. From the New York Herald. The confidante’s lot is not a happy one. She may think that it is when she is lis- tening to her friend’s:thrilling tale before the midnight fire, but ishe soon learns her ‘mistake. When people ask her questions, when she burns with a philanthropic desire to pass on her good news or to share her secret, then she feels thé misery of her po- sition. She also finds it embarrassing when she is unable to remember !n December what was confided to her ig June, and her friend assumes that she recalls it perfectly. She has to give just the advice which is desired, but if following that advice leads to unfortunate complications she must as- sume the blame. Shey must be Interested and sympathetic, but: never curlous. She needs the wisdom of the sages and the tact of the diplomats, together with the secre- tive disposition of the Sphinx. Even then she will probably make a mistake. Only one person is more to be pitied than the confidante, and that is the person who con- fides. She goes about the world forever afterward convinced that her secrets are in the possession of one who will not guard them properly. Nevertheless tne custom of confiding will continue as long as women let down their hair and unbutton their frocks together. There is something about the act of brush- ing the hair which invites confidence on the one hand and makes the outpouring of one’s soul a necessity on the other. As soon as two women take off their street bodices and assume dressing sacques they are bound to be confidential. They feel that there is nothing which should be concealed from the person who has an opportunity to tell whether their seams are bound or merely overcast, and whether their underwaists are trimmed with lace or Hamburg edging. There are many things for the woman who holds confidential relations with many people to remember. The first one fs that it-is seldom worth while to make oneself disliked by giving advice or opinions which are contrary to those desired. At the same time she should bear in mind that she will be held responsible for those opinions and counsels till her dying day. She must also resolutely decide to keep silent about what was told her in confidence until such time as she learns that the confidential woman has spread her secrets broadcast. It 1s al- ways likely that the confiding person will do this, and that some other confidante will talk. Then every one who knows the stories is released from the seal of secrecy and can talk to her heart’s content. The confidante must be prepared to hear the same story frequently, and must dis- play a convenient forgetfulness if she ob- serves that her friend is in the mood for talking. On the other hand, she must re- member even small details most accurately if the confiding one seems to expect that. ‘The woman who does all these things in such a manner that it satisfies her friend will have her reward. She will gain a rep- utation as an admirable confidante, and will then have an opportunity to enlarge her knowledge of other people’s private affairs, which is a reward no woman will scorn. oe Exciting Fight at San Francisco. Despite the order of Mayor Adolph Sutro of San Francisco, the Market Street rall- way, which is owned by the Southern Pa- cific, has persisted in laying new tracks on Church street, the franchise for which the mayor claimed had expired. Twenty of the workmen were arrested, but the mayor says he will swear out warrants against the real offenders—H. E. Huntington, C. E. Crocker and Superintendent Vining, as officers of the company, for tearing up the streets. John L. Lathrop, who until a week ago was general auditor of the C. B. and Q. railroad, died yesterday at Chicago. He resigned his position as auditor, owing to feeble health. AUCTION SALES. FUTURB DAYS. SON BROS, AUCTIONEERS.
