The Details of a Ror ic Tragedy Told Before the Pine-Knot Fire of a Sierra Shakemaker, Copperopolis Letter in San Francisco lix- aminer, Living just above the foothills and in the midst of the virgin pine forests of the Sierras are a class of industrious people little known to the world. They live an isolated, happy life far from the busy world, of which they know little and care lees, These are the ‘‘shakemakers.” Thoy exist usually in couples, and make their home for, the time being where the finest sugar pine grows, and whence the products of their labor can be conven- iently hauled away. They area jolly, happy lot, these *‘shakemakers” of the Slerras, They work at will, and by way of recreation divide their leisure time between deer and bear hunting and the nearest country store, The mode of making “‘shakes” or clapboards is eimple. The tree felled is sawed into suitable lengths, and then is split into thin boards or ‘‘shakes” by means of a froe and a mallet. The shakes sell here in the mountains at $4 to $4.50 per thousand, and are always in demand. A shakemakers’ camp is one of the most pictureeque scenes to be found on the coast, and the voluntary recluses who spend year after year in these mountain solitudes are the jolliest lot of bachelors on earth. A majority of this almost un- known race of men are cld miners and young men from the foothill farms. Wild, brave, uneducated and kind- hearted, they include within their num- bers hundreds of the best frontiersmen and tho noblest types of manhood, While rambling among this hospitable class of men one eveuning, I suddenly came into a clearing upon the mountain side, in the center of which stood a log cabin of the most primitive character, upon the porch of which stood a smiling old man, who ventured the information, “This is ‘Hungry Jim's' plase.” Before I could reply to this startling and in- comprehensible announcement the old man added the following explanation: ‘The shakemakers call me ‘Hungry Jim' just for fun, not that I don’t have enough to eat, for if you stop at my place to-night, as I hope you will, you will tind Huogry Jim a good feeder.” And g0 it proved, for Jim is a good cook, a hospitable host and one of the story tellers extant. His name is Miguel Elias, and he is a native of Tucson, but he has n;.un“mmymu years in the o0 is INTERESTING ONE OF THOSE CHABACTERS who llve in the past and never tire of telling of the days of '49), when gold was belng taken out of these gulches in chunks and every man was wealthy who would work. *Jim" has seen the day when he could count his wealth by thou- sands, but monte and bad luck has made him poor but happier than ever before, His life is & romancs and a woman the cause of his fipancial ruin, Now he keeps & rendezvous for the Oalaveras and Tuolumne shakemakers, 1t was “Jim" eeated before a cheerful pine knot fire which glowed brilliantly that keen fresty roturning with a young girl wife, tho handsomest woman we had ever seen, Frank was very proud of his prize and fairly worshipped her. He bought her everything she desired, dressed hor gay- ly, decked her in jewelry and kept a girl to wait on her. He bought her tho toll road for £4,000 and built that pretty little cottage you see there. But the girl was not satisfied, She tired of her elderly husband, and looked with LOVING GLANCES UPON YOUNGER AD- MIRERS, The husband was jealous,but he was kind and patient, She was capricious and abusive, but Frank lived on in hopes of happier times, The toll gate keeper had about §1200 buried in the cellar, a .d this hidden treasuro he revealed to his protty Italian wife, who sccretly appropriated 500, and with it went to San Andreas, the county seat,and applied for adivorce, Frank heard of the divorce business, but did not discover the loss of his $500 until the morning of last Fourth of July. There was a celebration at Murphy's Camp, and Frank stayed at home to col- lect tolls, ~ He went down to the cellar and discovered the loss of §500. He called on his wife and accused her of the theft. At first she denied, but finally acknowledged that she had taken it, and defiantly announced that she intended to use it to obtain a divorce, and positively declined to give it up. Then the angry husband went out and walked upanddown in front of the house. Then he went and gazed into the foaming mountain stream which was swollen and deep. Then he went to the house and (uietly and calmly invited his wife to a little walk with him. She consented. The eervant girl pro- tested and warned the wife that her hue- band intended to kill her. The man and wife walked to the creek. There he seized her by the throat, and after fur- tively strangling her throw her body into the stream to see her drown. An old German living nesr witnessed the strug- gle and ran to the wife's assistance. He drew the half drowned women out of the water. The husband seized her again and plunged her once more into the torrent. The old German once more dragged the inanimate woman to the shore. Again the brutal husband threw her into the water and sho floated down stream, tfrom whence the old German pulled her lifeless form. When taken to the house the missing $500 and $150 more money was found sewed in her cor- set. She died with her coin.” “‘And what became of the murderer’” “‘He is in the county jail at San An- dreas awaiting trial. He is as happy as a prince and sings merrily every day. Of course he will hang and every- body in these regions will,say, ‘Well served.’” o —— LAWY BLACKMAILED, How They are Imposed Upon by Pret- ty and Unscrupulous Women. “‘This woman is a blackmailer. Don’t leave me now. Stay where you are, 8o that you may hear what she says,” said a lawyer to a reporter yesterday, on the steps of the attorney's oflice on Walnut street, The woman, a tall, handsome blonde, elegantly dressed, crossed the street, bowed smilingly to the lawyer, pausee irresolutely, then passed on. *‘She will endeavor to play it on some- Ludy else. But she will strike me again, 1 am sure, as soon as a favorable oppor. tunify presents itself.” “‘Then you have had some experlence with her?” “Yes, She first came into my oflice six weeks ago. I suspected her from the beginning and secretly motionoed to one of my clerks to post himself within car- shot. He went out, passed along a pas- sageway and got into a room immediately in the rear of that which we occupied. The woman closed the door leading to the front oflice and moved her chair up against it. The opentransom over the door leading into the other rcom, however, made it possible for my clerk to over- hear all that the woman might say. The visitor began by reciting some pretended wrong that she said had been done her, but quickiy drifted to conyersation upon private aflairs and was rapidly laying her ground for an interesting blackmailing strike when I tapped the call bell upon my table and my clerk came in from the rear room, ‘‘Mr, Brown,” said 1, “‘this lady apparently has a case that she de- sires us to look into, Please write down what she says, New, madam, proceed, please,” ““The woman was surprised and de- feated, ‘Please excuse me, now,’she stammered; ‘I would rather not have anything committed to paper until I think over it longer. 1 will call to-mor- row. Good day.’” ‘'She did not come on the next day. She has hsen here, however, once or twico since that tme, but I have always been out to her.” *“Why did you not permit her to go on until she had committed herself and have her arrested?” “That would have been a foolish pro- ceeding. A lawyer cannot afford to get into a controversy with & woman of that stamp,” ““Are lawyers often blackmailers?” “You; particularly lawyers who arenot careful in their private lives, and thus leave themselves open to assault, so to speak,”—|Philadelphia Times, — A ting Girl, In Cincinnati & sixteen-year-old girl recently died after a fast of fifty-two days, She had been attacked by somothing like paraiysis which rendered it impossible for her to take nourishment.

I'o the civilian his garments aro as much an evidence of the calling-—to one who can read the signs—as his uniform to a soldier or his liyery to a footman. There aro clergymen, for instance. Who can mistake one, even though he doesn't ; of feot the clerical cut, which he ought to, by the bye? I cut for a number of pro- lates, and 1 tell you, sir, they have got to woar a coat with a straight collar and a vest that buttons around the neck church of England costume, sir. or none atall from my establishment.” “But how,” inquired the reporter, “are you to distinguish the doctor and tho lawyer?” “Only a novice would ask that ques- tion. Physicians in good practice-—and, of course, 1 have none others among my customers—are the moat particular of men. Takea Madison avenue prac- titioner as an example—and he's tne ideal doctor for you? Large, stout, not tosay a tritle flabby, and wearlng a belt, carrica himself well, great dignity, im-. mense pomp, Ho cresses always in fine black diagonals, with rich, black, kersey top coat, and all must fit him without a wrinklo, Sometimes he indulges in a fancy cashmere vest, and the big bunch of seals he dangles at his fob sets ofl' the neatest stomach to fit in the world. In hat, gloves and boots he is unexceptional and extravagant. His scarfs are the richest, his linen and cambric the finest. He wears three diamond studs—no other jewelry but the seals. Well, sir, he's an impressive spectacle, rich, neat, elogant, finished, and more pleasing to the eyes of a rich woman than hot-house flowers. “But lawyers—pshaw! Thoy'ro the worst drossors in the world it they amount to anything. Want something black, and take the first goods that come to hand. Never want a new suit till their old one gets disgracefully shabby or falls to yicces entirely. Boots generally look well, for they like warm feet and pay big prices. But hsts!—shocking! The worst tiles in this town aro partly distributed on the heacs of our most eminent lawyers. You can hardly get them to 2ome here and try on a suif, but must send 1t on the chance of fitting. They'll always take it, don't care how It looks, if it goes on enmsily. But, bless you, that isn't what a true artist wants. Big lawyers have paid me high prices for suits that when I saw on them sont a shiver through me. Such garments would give any establishment but mine a bad name, “‘Another class who dress characteris- tically,” continued the tailor, garrulously, “are men of business. They want a dozen coats and as many trousers and walstcoats and the like, in multitudes, after the latest fashion. Yet your true man of fashion is no dude. He s never pronounced, and never has on shining new clothes. It's the general eflect— the clegance that comes only with long exporience or a careful valet—that shows, and it's what the mere dude can never catch on to. The dudes and all the noodles who merely copy the most ex- travagant fashions, while they are our best puying customers, don’t compel our admiration. It's the man who knows his style and dresses up to it who is the true dresser. “Of course, even you can always recog- nize the sporting man. He is a specles with divers classes. The racing man dresses differently from the yachting man, The dog fancier has salient pecu- liarities unlike these of the horse fancier, and the mere gambler, who looks on sports of all sorts as simply opportunities for bookmaking, has a style all his own. But they differentiate inlittle things— trinkets, linen, and the like. They are all fond of high colors and unique pat- terns, Their abundant jewelry is apt to be in the form of pugs’ heads or racing insigna., Most have a weakness for bell- crowned hats, yollow stitched gloves, and pointed shoes. ~ Their canes remind you of the neck and head of a stork, with the long bill on the top. They ate a knowing crowd, mostly, but about dross they’re as innocent as bables, “Closely allied to sporting men are actors—from a tailor’s point of view. But there's a wide difference essentially. The sporting man wants to dazzle you; the actor to impress and overcome you. The sporting man will distribute his magnifi- cence all over him; the actcr relies on some such concentrated effoct as a seal- skin coat or a low cut shirt collar and wide brimmed hat, He wants his clothes cat, not to fit him, but to drape him,and he arranges himself in attitudes favorable BEA 14 1854 wood, even the most thoroughly ssasoned, brought from Kurope, even frois Italy, The electric phenomena may be scon any cold winter's day, when it fs suite possible for people in ordinary physical condition to light the gas by shuflling rapidly across the cirpet and holding the fingor to an opened gas burner, the gas lighting as if by a flame, and the electric spark giving & distinctly heard crackle, I have scores of times performed the feat and seen it done by many others -it is not in any way dependent on pe. culiar constitution. What these phyeical conditions may have to do with the gen oral oxcitability I have noted is not so clear, and is subject for future investiga- tlon; but 1 believe that the drive and enorgy of Amorican city life are to ex gerated to be the effect of merely physical agencles except through the hereditary accumulation of tendencies. The eflect produced on me, coming newly into Now York after a long sojourn in Europe, Is, 1 imagine, greatly, but not wholly due to a kind of contagion, a nervous sympathy with the intensity of life around me.

D. Fergusson, Ksq., who came up from the south on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo passengor train Eriday night, we learned of one of the most dastardly attempts at train wreck- ing and robbery that has ever been known in the southwest. Mr. Forgusson tells the thrilling story with all the vim and feeling of one who was present when the affair occurred. He said: *‘Just after train No. 102 left Socorro, with J. D. Hedrick as conductor and James Skuse as engineer, and when it had gone per- haps two miles, tho train stopped, but almost immediately started up again with a tremendous jerk. After this jerk a promiscuous firing began from both sides of the track, but the train kept moving on faster and faster. All the passenyors, of course, got down bstween the seats, and it looked for a while like a prayer meeting. About fifty shots were fired. Evory car in the train was_hit and many of the windows broken. The conductor, who stepped out on the platform, came near being killed. One bullet passed through a sleeping car window over the heads of two ladies, and was flattened on tho opposite side of the car.” The story of the affair was told Mr, Forgusson by the engineer when they ar- rived at the next station, Said the en- ginoar: *‘I saw ahead of me an obstruc- tion on the right slde, which consisted of a pilo of stones fully 12 Inches above the track. I stopped, of course, and then told the fireman to get down and ramove the stones. 1t was moonlight, so that 1 could she plainly. At the moment I stopped I saw three men jump from be- hind a clump of trees, and pointing their guns at me, they said: ‘Stop! We want you. We've got you.” Quick as light- hing T saw our predicament, ane_decided what to do. 1 told them ‘All right, don't shoot,’ and then to the fireman, ‘Drop down.' I gave the throttle a jerk wido open and dropped down myself.” As I jerked they fired into the cab. I didn't know whether we should jump the track or not, but 1 wasn't going to have my passengers robbed. The obatruction damaged the cowcatcher considerably. 1 saw throe men on my right, two on my loft, and one on horseback.” The passengers after realizing the great danger through which they had passed, and the daring presence of mind and the bravery and decision of the he- roic engincer, mado up a purse and pro- sented it to him as a token of their appre- ciation, and nearly all thanked him per- sonally for risking his own life to save his passengors from robbory. It was a to classic folds. Actors are liberal custo- mers when they have money. But poli- ticians stand high with us. ~They are the fellows for new clothes! Thoy want everything sleck and shiny, spick and span, and brand new. They are the bost tailora’ blocks, too, and afford more ploasure to a true artist's eye than the weroly olegant fellow who distracts at- tention from his clothes to himself.” e FEATURES OF AMERICAN LIFE, What a Ihreigner Thinks of Our High-Pressure/System of Living, The high pressure at which life is main- tained in the United States, which I have woted In a former letter in its business relation, has an aspect which, while it strikes the new-comer most forcibly, has also an effect which is to be studied as one of the moat important problems of transatlantic existence, It is not alone the stranger by birth getting his first im- pression of America who will feel the ex- traordinary *‘go” of a city like New York but even Americaus born, like myself, who liavo been away from home for lon, intervale and return int> the atmospnere of our city life. The firat fow days after are spent in & kind of nervous excite ment, which to some will be distressing, but to others, of whom 1 am one, will furnish an exhilaration which suggests champaigne or possibly t other moods and temperaments the ef fect of stroug tea or coffee, With my welf, I find it varying, and in the latter visits have found myself comparing it te sensation produced by drinking strong green tea in the morning. It is partly, 1 suppose, from the climate, whore extra ordinary dryness strikes a luropeat observer strongly, and partly the eleotri cal conditions, which T have found almost incredible to people in Kangland, As t the former quality, itis to be noted in the salt which is on the table—always i a dry and powdery condition —in the rapid drying of your bath sponge, and the cracking and warping of articles of e splondid act, and James Skuso will go down to history as real hero, ——— A CARD.

Diseases and Health of Live Stock, All owners of live stock are no doubt interested in keeping their animals in a sound healty condition, and are anxious to bring to a halt any disease, no matter how trifling, as soon as it makes its ap- posrance, To accomplish either or both of these, the Western Live Stock Reme- dy, manufactured at Omaha, has no equal, It is easily given to cattle,horses,swine, and sheep, and is an article that has never failed to give satisfaction, if prop- erly adminlstered. Thousands of dollars might be saved annually if breeders, farmers, and,in fact, any one from the person owning an extensive herd to the modest gardner with a pony asud a cow, would keep their animals in & thoroughly healthy condition, Keep stock healthy and every conta- glous disease that comes along will not tako hold with the grip of death. To do this there is nothing equal to the West- ern Live Stock Remedy.
