A Talk With a Famous and Fearless Traveler, The Wife Who Accompaniod Her Husband Through Desorts and Dangers. Sau Franclsco Examiner, “I ata sorry that Sir Samuel Baker cannot see you to-day,” was the re. sponse of a lady to an Examiner re- porter who was yesterday directed to the rooms in the Palace Hotel occu- pied by that distinguished traveler and his wife, the no less famous Lady Baker. “Lady Baker, T presume?” “Yes; won't you be seated? Sir Samuel is confined to his room from an attack of bronchitis contracted on board the Oity of Pcking. We in- advertently loft the port-hole of our stateroom open and he has been quite ill ever since.” “Then, I suppose, you have not had much of anopportunity to look around the aty?” “‘None at all. Of course he can't 10 out, and T do not care to, without him. " “‘The restraint must be irksome to one 8o used to moving about.” “Oh, decidedly so. Here we have been detained in our rooms fora week. To be sure, every attention has been kindly offered us, for which we are very grateful. ~ We have received a large number of invitations”—and to confirm this, the seribe'seye just then wandering toward the centre-table saw a number of formal looking envelopes addressed **Sir Samuel Baker,"” and in the card case the cards of some of our well known and wealthy citizens, Be- sides these, scattered over the table, were & number of the cariositios of travel, a long dagger, in a quaintly- carved case, and other queer articles, evidently picked up in China or Japan, the last places visited by the distin- guished couple. A MONTH'S VISITATION, “‘But,” continued Lady Baker, ‘“‘we have not yet been able to signify our acceptance of them, We have to take it easy, for there’s no use contending against bronchitis, although Sir Samuel, like all men, can't content himself to remain as quiet as he should.” This was said with a smile, which led the reporter to suppose that, notwithstanding Sir Samuel's rebellious disposition, he waa not so very hard to get along with.” “‘May I ask how long you will re- main in California, and what places you intend to visit 7" “Certainly. We expect to remain here until August, and will visit all the principal places of interest. But the duke of Athol, an old friend of ours at home, where we were surpris- ed and pleased to meet here, tells us that there is not very much to see here,”—this with an interrogative raising of the eyebrows, The reporter disloyally but truth- fully acknowledged that the Pacific coast does not contain all the interest- ing sights of the world, nor even a majority of them, but timidly suggest- ed Yosemite. “Oh, yes, we will see Yosemite. The duke of Athol has gone there. now. But we don’t believe that every- thing can be seen in a flying visit. From here we go to the salt lakes (Great Salt lake). I expect to be greatly interested there.” ““You will probably be disappointed, ay few visitors ever get to know any- thing of the family histories of the Mormons,” ‘‘Yes, that is very probable. The duke of Athol was disappointed him- self. He said he went to their taber- nacle and among their people as much as possible, but saw nothing of parti- culiar interest. But it was a great thing to build up such a fertile coun- try, as I am assured it is, where was formerly a desert. Then we will go to Rock Creek, for Sir Samuel wants to hunt in the Rocky Mountains and kill some grizzly bears. We have some English friends there who have invited us to visit them, but say not to come before August, on account of the flies. May be you know them. Their name is—." LADY BAKER'S EXPERIENCES, The reporter confessed that he did not know the persons named, and ask- ed where Rock creek is. “Why, it is in Colorado. We will then go to New York, and start for home in November.” Lady Baker talked frecly and in a most interesting mannerof the various expeditions upon which she accompa- nicd Sir Samuel Baker. That to dis- cover the sources of the Nile, and if possible meet the Speke and Grant expedition, seemed to her the one of the most varied and startling expe- rience, ‘“We do not want ever to go upon another of that kind,” she said, “‘It was fitted out by Sir Samuel entirely at his own expense, and no one can conceive from reading his account of it (‘The Albert Nyanza') of the many trials we endured, and you would hardly believe it all, should I tell you. The route chosen by Speke and Grant direct from Zanzibar is much easier, that point with the interior. We met Capts, Speke and Grant at Gondoko- ro (February, 1863), after they had discovered the lake they named Vie- toria Nyanza, in honor of the queen, We gave them supplies, and continued on into the interior, although we had great opposition from every one— guides, interpreters, and especially the slave-trades. hen discovered the Albert Nyanza, yanz' is a name applied to all African lakes. A MODEST HEROINE, Lady Baker spoke of this great ex- pedition in such a modest, . quiet man- ner, that one listening to her who did not know that the result of this ex- pedition was the final discovery of the third great tributary and source of the Nile, would have supposed it merely & jaunt through the country side. In the preface to the work de- scribing the journey, Sir Samuel Ba- ker says: ‘“‘A vnfly shall be thrown over many scenes of brutality that I was forced to witness, but which 1 will not force upon the reader; neith- or will T intrude anything that is not actually necessary in the description of scenes that unfortunately must be ssed thmugz in the journey now foro us. Bhould anything "offend the sensitive mind, and suggest the unfitness of the situstion for & wo- trade being carried on from | man’'s présence, T must beseech .m: fair readers to reflect that the pil- grim's wife followed him, weary and hn\'lt~rr, through all his difficulties, led, not by choice, but by devotion, and that in time of misery and sick- ness her tender care saved his life and prospered the expedition It seems hardly Pfln]"l«'v«hcn look- ing at Lady Baker's face to imagine that this was said nearly twenty years ago of her. Ttisa face that all’ who sce it would unite in calling charming; nor is there any suggestion of care, nor that travel-worn look that might bo expected. A clear complexion, light eyes, beautiful tecth and white torehead, rather higher than woman's ordinarily is, yet hot too high, from which hair is brushed straight back, giving the face a matronly, dignified air; manners, quict and, of course, ladylike, yet kindly; specch, that peculiar English accent which cultivated foreigners %‘lm from long intercourse with the English people; precise, perfectly nr(\rul.’\lm\ and pleasing, abounding in the best and clearest Anglo - Saxon words and ohrases. For Lady Baker is not of L:thnh birth, If to speak of a lady's age were not an impertinent sugges- tion, Lady Baker's might bo guessod at what it actually is, for she does not look over thirty-two. She married Sir Samuel, says & bographio notice of the latter, in 1860 and is his second wife. HER LADYSHIP'S DRESS, As for her dress, the so ropor- ter of this paper would simply say that she was dressed in that quiet, unobtrusive manner which so becomes ladies —neither rich, nor yet lacking in richness, nor encumbered with or- namentation. The reporter asked Lady Baker what she thought about the slave trade in Africa, and whether in her opinion Africa could ever be made inhabitable in any part by Europeans, and if the commercial in- terests of the country would ever be 80 great na to warrant large settle- mentf of Europeans, ““About the slave trade,” she said, “I think it will be broken up. You know Sir Samuel undertook it (in command of the khedive's forces in 1809) and we thought he had suc- ceeded. Col. Gordon tried after him but I suppose it is a bad now as ever. 1 do not believe ths efforts of the khe- dive are more than half-hearted.” “‘Probably he gets a vercentage of the gains.” “No, oh no, I do not think that. The trouble lies with thepeople them- selves. They are a lazy, shiftless set, and worth nothing except as warriors. They plant just enough corn and what else they need tocarry them through a single year, and if there is a drought they div of starvation,” “You mean the people south of Egypt?” A ALONG THE EQUATOR, “‘Oh, yes, south of Abyssinia. You know we were almost as far down as theline of the equator. The country is very unhealthy, and I doubt wheth- Europeans will ever inhabit it in laage numbers, at least uot the parts we visited.” Changing the conversation, the re- porter asked them about their numer- ous other voyages. { “Really,”" was the reply, ‘‘we have got so used to going 2hat it scems strange for usto remain‘at home. Af- ter the expedition against the slave- traders, we returned home to rest awhile. The first message we: re- ceived was from your American Geo- graphical society, inviting us to, visit America, and offering to pay all pur expenses. It was a very kind offer, and one we wished %o accept, as we have always had a ‘curiosity to see America; but then again, we wanted to rest. Besides, Sir' Samuel wished to see something of his children. When the English took possession of Cyprus, Sir Samuel said, ‘Come, we will see Cyprus.” We went there, and that book is the result (pointing to Sir Samuel's work on Cyprus, re- cently published, which lay upon the tnhle{ I had a greatdesire to see the Holy Land, so from Cyprus we tray- eled to Jerusalem, and from there to India, China, Japan, and so here.” ““Will Sir Samuel publish any more books?” ““Probably not, but he " will write some letters on the subject of s last voyage.” THE CARLE ROADS A NOVELTY, “It is unfortunate, Lady Baker, that you should be detained 8o longin your room when a new field lies be- fore you for inspection.” “I'deem it quite a misfortune, But it can’t be helped. Then 1 have heard 80 much about your city, . I am told it has grown entirely within the last twenty-eight years, and that it is quite a wealthy city. The first day we were in town, and before Sir Samuel was taken ill, we took a ride on one of those cars that go up- the hill, 1t is certainly remarkable.” “I believe it is an Enghsh idea,” “‘So I have heard, but I never saw cars run that way in Great Britain But we have our underground rail- ways, which I think, are better, for our carriages do not go bumping over our car-tracks. And then our horses are 80 large and fine and gentle, We are invited to visit a centleman’s place in the country, where there are four hundred horses, and 1 am told that you can_go right up to them without n the least scaring them, and they will feed from one's hand, This is certainly remarkable. You must treat your horses well in this country. We hope to visit this place next Tues- day.” After some further conversation, and a cordial invitation to call again when Sir Samuel Baker is well, the reporter withdrew, The Unfortunate Position of a Bridegroom, They had a terriblo time at a wedd- ing up at Petaluma the other day, and which only goes to show how the smallest drawback will sometimes take the stiffness out of the swellest occa- sion, It seems that the ccremony was a very grand affair, indeed. There were eight bridesmaids,and the church was crowded from pit to dome, as the dramatic critics would say. But, when they got to the proper place in the ceremony, and the groom began feeling around for the ring, he discov- ered that it wasn’t on hand. After the minister had scowled at the mis- erable wretch for awhile, . the latter detected the magic circlet had slipped through s hole in his pocket and worked into his boot. He communi- cated the terrible fact in a whisper to the bride, who turned deadly pale, and was only kept from fainting by the reflection that they would inevita- bly cut the rings of her satin corsage in case she did. ‘Why dont’t you produce the ring?" whispered the bride's big brother, hoarsely, and feeling for his pistol, under the impression that the miser able man was about to back out “I'ean't. It's in my boot,” ex- plained the groom under his breath, his very hair meanwhile turning red with mortification “‘Try and fish it out, somehow hurry up!” mumbled the minister be hind his book. STl try,” gasped the vietim, who was very stout; and he put one foot on the chancel rail, pulled up his trousers leg and began making spas modic jabd for the ring with his fore finger. The minister motioned to the organist to squeeze out a few notes to fill in the time, while a rumor rapidly went through the congregation to the effect that a telegram had just arrived proving the groom had four other wives living in the east already. 1T can't reach it," ed the half-married man in agony, ‘It won't come, “Sit down and take your boot off, you fool,” hissed the bride's mother, while the bride herself moaned pite- ously and wrung her hands. There was nothing left, so the suf- forer sat down on the floor and began to wrestle with his boot, which was naturally now and tight, while a fresh rumor got under way to the effect that the groom was beastly tight. As the boot came finally off, its crushed wearer endeavored, unsuc- cessfully, to hide a trade-dollar hole in the heel of his stocking, noticing which, the parson, who was a humor: ous sort of a sky-contractor, said grimly: “You scem to be getting married just in time, my young friend.” And the ceremony proceeded, with the me of tho first part standing on one leg, trying to hide his well-venti- Inted foot under the tail of his coat, and appropriately muttering, ‘‘Darn it!" at short intervals. - [San Francis- co Post. RESCUED FROM RUIN. A Wholosome Lesson For Girls to Take to Heart, San Francisco Chronicle, Among the telegraphic dispatches in last Sunday's Chronicle was one in regard to two Oakland girls who were discovered by their horrified relatives officiating as pianist and waitress in a beer saloon in Eurcka, Nev. The friends of the girls are desirous to have it known that the young people were induced to leave their homes and em- bark in the saloon business by false representations. They wore, it is al- leged, led to believe that they were to be engaged in a concert hall of the same character as some in this city which respectable people frequent. This highly select family resort of Eureka offered liberal inducements through an intelligence office, which announced the fact in an advertise- ment, of which the followmg is a o = py: ““Wanted—A young lady to play piano and sing for a country place of amusement; steady place; $150 a month; fare paid. ~ Apply 110 Geary street.” The girls on answering the adver- tisement found that no fare would be advanced them, but, nevertheless, con- sented to go to Eureka. So convine- ed was one of them that the situation offered would prove an excellent one, she freely turned over a diamond ring to meet the expenses of the trip. They left on the 15th inst., spent one night on ‘the cars, and the next day reached the high-toned family resort. of the Baso range, Their employers generously offered to place separate bedrooms at the disposal of the ad- venturous damsels, but they declined the favor,and slept together that night. Next day at noon they arose, and after invigorating themselves by inhaling the fumes of the railroad furnaces fora few hours, proceeded to business, The girl who was to play the piano is a graduate of the Oak- ]uln\ high school. Her companion, who was to pass around the beer, has had the advantage of a collegiate edu- cation. Notwitstanding their advan- tages from an educational stand-point, they were unable to appreciate (Sw o8- thethetie pleasures of thehurdy-gurdy, and when the waitress found that the patrons of the establishment refused to take any change for their drinks she became suspicious. A coungil of war was hastily held with the high- school graduate, and the girls came to the conclusion that they were in an unpleasant predicament. A gentleman nawed Dayis, whose counsel they sought, advised them to leave the place at once, and they did so. That night they again shared the same bod, and the next day a deliyerer appeared in the person of a sorrowing and ex- cited father. " On reaching gnn Fran- cisco the angry-parent interviewed the agent, who is alleged to have induced the girls to risk their reputations, and asked the oftender, ““Ts your name—-71" *No,” was the sneering reply. “My name is John Smith.” The insult fired the magazine of the old gentleman’s wrath, and he dealt the intelligence agent a blow in’ the neighborhood of the right ~auricular appendage, which it is alleged lifted him over the counter and up the op- posite wall, The girls are now in the posoms of their families, and their friends say “‘arc wiser and sadder by the experience.
