4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 189. OLD MONTEREY'S GATES ARE OPEN, Strangers Given a Welcome in the Quaint City of Manana. BUSTLING WITH LIFE. Residents Have Decorated Streets and Dwellings for the Three Days’ Fete. VISITORS BEGIN TO ARRIVE. Find a Varied Entertainment Await- ing Them on the Stamping Grounds of Sloat. MONTEREY, Car, July 3.—In every- body's mouth, even in the strangers’, whose presence seems an obtrusion upon the dreary life of Monterey, is the Spanish word, ‘‘manana.” It is a word of peculiar significance to the Spanish people, this “manans,” and, indeed, to the Americans who understand it, for it means ‘‘to-mor- row.” And this is the eve of a celebration which for absolute uniqueness stands alone, out and above all the festivities of the year in California; for to-morrow marks the beginning of the wonderful commemoration of California’s jubilee— her golden jubilee of that day fifty years ago when she came under the protection of the United States of America, and the stars and stripes was first her flag. The celebration is to last for three days. Perhaps this is after the good old Spanish custom of making merry at fiestas for days and nights at a time; anyhow, the| calendar itself has conspired toward this end, for July 4 comes opportunely after fifty years to open festivities that will run without intermission until the night of the 7th. That nothing may be left undone this evening in the way of preparation there | are on all sides evidences of activity—a strange and disturbing bustle, be it said, for this town of manana, and the old people look on in something akin to astonish- ment at the hurry of decorators, painters, carpenters, street-repairers and the ladies themselves, who are busy over a hundred and one things. The spirit of Sloat and his patriotic band who hoisted the Stars and Stripes half a century ago where the flag of Spain used to float possesses the people to-day, and the result is a remarkable change in the | appearance of Monterey. | Bunting and wreaths and flowers sprang | up like magic. The principal streets are bedecked in tri-color streamers and green garlands so profusely that they give the idea of a riot of colors, a fluttering mass of brilliant hues. Ameong the chief features of to-day’s additional decorations were two arches now in course of construction. One of these will span Alvarado street at Pearl, and arother will stand at the corner of Franklin and Scott streets. Each consists of two stately pillarsabout twenty feet high, supporting a cross-beam that is elegantly draped and festooned. Flags surmount each column and an abundance of wreaths complete the effect- iveness of the whole. Colton Hall, in which was held the first Legislature of California, was decorated very appropriately with the National colors, which gave it a stately grandeur in its old age. Several of the historic adobe buildings have been clad in colors that perhaps they never saw before, and the odd stones on Alvarado street, that had not before been | dressed in honor of the jubilee, were gayly decoratea. It may be said that now, from the old Mexican jail at the plaza to the Mexican Custom-house on the bay, Monterey is lit- erally red, white and blue, with a back- ground of dark adobe and gray dust. The town began to receive visitors to- day in generous numbers. They roamed over its streets and plazas and among the quaint adobe buildings. Many visited Pacific Grove during the day. All found amusement and instruc- tion here, for to whom is this historic spot, made famous by Sloat, not of interest? SAN JOSE DAMAGE SUIT, Corwin C. Ingels Brings Action for $75,000 Against the Southern Pacific. | | Sustained Injuries in the Santa Clara Wreck Which Made Him an Invalid for Life. BAN JOSE, Car, July 3.—Corwin C. Ingels, a farmer near Gilroy, began a suit. in the Superior Court to-day against the Southern Pacific Railread Company for $75,000 damages for injuries received in the collision between the broad and narrow- gauge passenger treins at Santa Clara on January 25 last. Ingels was a passenger on the broad- gauge train running between San Fran- cisco and this city. He alleges that in the collision he received such injuries to his spinal ecolumn as to wholly incapacitate him from attending to his business. He alleges he will suffer great physical and mental pain the balance of his life, and lose all the pleasure and enjoyment of living. Ingels was confined to his bed for twenty-one weeks and incurred an indebt- edness of $280 for medical and surgical treatment, restitution for which he also asks, making a total of $75,280. The col- lision is attributed o neglizence on the part of the management of the two roads. e FAY HOLDS THE SEAT. Tiemains in the City Council Pending the Zesult of an Appeal. S8AN JOSE, CAL., July 3.—Judge Lorigan this morning refused to make an order allowing Homer Prindle to hold his seatin the Common Council pending an appeal to the Supreme Courton the decision in the election contest case giving J, P. Fay tHe seat in the Council from the Second Ward. f Judge Lorigan refused to rule ‘in the matter, saying that the recount showed that Prindle had never heen elected and therefore had no title to the seat. The court said that no statement would be made as to what action would be taken by the court should Prindle disregard the order giving Fay the seat in the Council, but if contempt of court was committed the court would deal with it. Fay will hold the seat in the Council pending the appeal unless the Supreme Court makes an order restraining him. - & = . HIBERNIANS DANCE, Their Second Annual Ball Given in the Turn Verein Parlors. SAN JOSE, CAv., July 3.—Turn Verein Hall was a scene of brilliancy and festiv- ity this evening, the occasion being the second annual ball given by Diyision No. 3, Ancient Order of Hibernians. The hall was beautifully festooned with ribbons, while stringers of evergreens and rose- buds were draped about the sides. About the hall were potted palms and plants. During the evening Edwin Coolidge delivered two recitations, and the Misses Manley of Alameda and Miss Della Cole of this City rendered vocal selections.

Anderson had been in ill health for some time and in company with his mother and sister kad stopped over in Santa Clara to visit some friends while on his way to San Francisco for meaical treatment. He was 37 vears of age and a native of California. —_—— Nash Is Not Insane. SAN JOSE, CAv., July 8.—J. M. Nash, the expressman who was arrested a few days ago on a charge of insanity preferred by his wife, was released from the County Jail this morning. An investigation showed Nash to be perfectly sane. Nash's arrest grew out of his taking a Mrs. Smith for a carriage drive Friday night. As soon as Mrs. Nash heard of this she hunted up Mrs. Smith and gave her a beating, and then charged her husband with insanity. ST A Death of Nicholas Sewton. SAN JOSE, CaL., July 3.—Nicholas Sex- ton of Stockton, who was prominent in Nevada politics a few years ago and served several terms 1n the Legislature of that State, died suddenly from apoplexy yes- terday at the residence of his brother, William Sexton, in this city.

DUNHAM OR HIS SHADOW Photographs of a North Dakota Captive Sent to San Jose Officers. Detective Bellis Confident That He Has Caught the Campbelis Butcher. SAN JOSE, Can., July 3.—Sberiff Lyn- don to-day received from George Bellis, a detective of Fargo, N. D., two pictures of a man giving the name of George Dal- ton, whom Bellis arrested about a week ago on suspicion of being James C. Dun- ham, the Campbells murderer. About a week ago Sheriff Lyndon received a tele- gram from Bellis saying that he had Dun- | ham and asking that a man be sent to Fargo to identify him. Bellis is sure he has Dunham, as the man’s appearance tallies exactly with the printed descrip- tions of the murderer sent out. Word was sent to Bellis to forward two pictures of the suspect. The pictures arrived to-day, but there is considerable doubt as to whether the right man has been captured. The face and figure bear a strong resemblance to Dun- ham but not enough to warrant a belief thatitis him. A number of peovle who were well acquainted with the murderer are inclined to tnink that the suspect is Dunham, despite the changed appearance. The picture was shown to Major Hin- man, who is an acknowledged authority on criminology. He remarked at once that the resemblance to Dunham was striking and believed that it would be advisable to send a man to Fargo to ascertain if the fugitive murderer is in custody at that place. In his opinion 8 man personally acquainted with Dunham should be sent on that errand. The general opinion of those who have seen the picture, however, is that the case is one of mistaken identity, and that the Fargo man is not the Campbells butcher. The officials have not decided what course they will pursue in the matter. Before his arrest Dalton stopped at the Elliott House in Fargo, where his queer actions attracted attention. After staying several days herented a wheel togoto Moorhead, where he was subsequently arrested and taken back to Fargo. e e IN SANTA CRUZ COUNIY. Fourth of July Celebrations to Be Held in Several Towns. SBANTA CRUZ, Can., July 3.—Santa Cruz will not celebrate the Fourth of July in an ostentatious display since the carni- val is of so0 recent a date. Delegations will go to Watsonville and Boulder Creek and Monterey. ' The Wal- Jace-Reynolds Corps, G. A. R., and the ‘Woman's Relief Corps will picnic at Vue de I'Ean, and many families and parties of young people will spend the day on the beach, spreading their Fourth-of-July din- ner there. ‘Watsonville’s celebration will be an in- tex-conm{ affair, to be participated in by nearly all the towns along the edge of Santa Clara snd Monterey counties. Boulder Creek will have a ccrebnlion of its own, and ‘the crowd attending will be addressed by Benjamin Knight, assistant district attorney. There will be'a parade of the fire de ment, fraternat societies and school chil- dren, to be followed by a burlesque parade and comic races. At Capitola the obsery- ance will take the form of a leap-year ball n the evemg]g. The 'T'urn Verein of this city will give an entertainment and dance in the even- ing, and Mr. and Mrs. John R. Chace wiil | give a social hop at the Sea Beacn Hotel. GRADERS CROSS THE SAN JUA. Valley Road Constructors Are Moving on to Fresno. RAPID PROGRESS MADE. The Line Will Be Completed to the City Limits by the 15th of August. TRACK-LAYERS AT LA GRANGE Working Away From the San Joagquin at the Rate of a Mile and a Half a Day. FRESNO, CaL., July 3.—J. T. Williams arrived in this city this evening with im- portant news regarding the progress of work on the S8an Joaquin Valley Railway. Grading from the north to the San Juan River bas been nearly completed, and a camp of fifty teams crossed the river to- day. Track-laying will be completed to the river by July 25, when the bridge will have been finished. The contract for grading from the river to this city has been let to Grant Brothers and J. D. McDougald, and they will place 150 teams at work next week, in addition to the fifty teams which were moved across the river to-day. Dirt will soon be flying, and the graders will reach this city by August 1. The track-layers will follow closely, and the rails will undoubtedly all be laid by Au- gust 15, the date for the completion of the line, as promisec Fresnoans by the direct- ors. Williams reports everything going smoothly to the city limits of Fresno. The work is progressing fully as well as could be expected. The bridge over the San Joaquin has been going up withouta hitch. Track-laying is proceeaing at the rate of a mile and a haif a day, the force being now at La Grange, in Merced County. It is not the intention to con- tinue grading along Diana and Q streets through this city until the trouble with the property-owners along those streets is settled. The railroad company desires to have all strife ended before proceeding with the work. Itis hoped that the dif- ferences will have been arranged by the middle of August, so that work may not be delayed. — T0 DEVELOP OIL FIELDS. Capitalists File Articl of Incorpora- tion at Fresno. FRESNO, CaL., July 3.—The Gold State Oil Company filed articles of incorporation to-day. The capital stock is $500,000, all of which bas been subscribed by the four directors—J. M. Guffey and J. M. Cooper of Pittsburg, Pa.; Captain Frank Barrett and Judge M. K. Harris of Fresno. Mr. Guffey is a wealthy oil-dealer of Pennsyl- venia. He bas taken $430,000 worth of stock in the new company. This company will develop the oil dis- trict in the western part of the county. It owns the gusher which was recently struck there. ftis the intention to bore 100 wells this summer. SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY PEST. Millions of Army Worms Toiling Patiently Toward the Southern Grain Fields. STOCKTON, CAL., July 3.—Army worms, have invaded the San Joaquin Valley. This is the startling news brought to Stockton to-day by Rancher W. H. Cady, who lives twenty miles east of here, and his brother, A. Caay of L indon. The Cady brothers were driving to the city early this morning. On the way they saw millions of small worms along the roadside. They first noticed the invaders about two and a half miles this side of Linden, near Assessor Ortman’s piace, and for 2 mile and a half the road apveared as though it had been swept with a brush, where the many wiggling worms had worked themselves across it. They were on the south side of the rode as the Cadys drove along, having during the night crawled from the pasture land on the porth side of the highway. This morning they were going for the grain- fields of the soutb. The worms were so numerous that they constituted squirm- ing masses at some points. They were undoubtedly army worms, such as visited this county several years ago, when they destroyed apricots and all small fruiv in their path. It is fortunate that the grain all over the country is so near the sack; otherwise the visitation of the army worms would have resulted in_ the loss of thousands of dol- lars. Asitis, they can do little damage before the grain is harvested. The army worm could do considerable damage to the vineyards now. So far as known, how- ever, they have not made their appearance except in the Jocality stated. RACES AT WATSONVILLE Six Thousand Visitors Witness the District Celebration Events. Honors in the Hook and Ladder Contest Are Won by the. Home Team. WATSONVILLE, Can, July 3.—Six thousand visitors from surrounding towns participated in the opening day's festivi- ties of the district celebration in Watson- ville to-day. The streets were resplend- ent with decorations, the weather was all that could be desired and the athletic sports of the afternoou afforded abundant amusement for the guests. Interest centered in the 300-yard hook and ladder race. Teams from Watson- ville, San Juan and Gilroy contested, fin ishing in the order named. Watsonvilie's time was :48 1-5. Kimball of Gilroy fell, dislocating his knee cap. The bicycle races this afternoon resuited as follows: Hali-mile race, Scovell first, Gosby second, Calp third. Time, 1:07. Sixand a half miles handicap, Willoughby gorn Malgren second, Valencia third. Time, Great preparations have been made for to-morrow’s celebration. The parade will be led by the Watsonville Drill Corps. The procession will be in four divisions, one and a half miles long, with Colonel John A. Koster as marshal of the day. Miss Louise Reiter will reign as Goddess of Liberty and Miss Annie Steuer will personate California. Eleven fraternal societies will be in line. T el STEAMSHIP LINE TQ JAPAN. Tacoma, Seattle or San Francisco Will Be the Terminus of a New System. TACOMA, Wasn.,, Jaly 3.—Tacoma, Seattle or San Francisco will be the ter- minus of a line of steamers to the United States, to be started in a few months by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, B. Iwanga, manager of the steamship line, Lawyer Mann Jina, its chief counsel, and Mr. Kafuka, their private secretary, arrived this afternoon and after viewing harbor facilities here departed to-night for Portland. They are accompauied by Vice-Presi- dent Finley of the Great Nerthern Rail- way, which wiil work hard to have the steamship line connect with that road at Bellingham Bay or Seattle. From Port- land the gentlemen go 1o St. Paul to con- fer with President J. J. Hill, and later they expect to visit San Francisco. There is a possibility that the line will go to California, though it seems probable uget Sound will be selected as the ter- minus. As nearly as can be learned the Northern Pacific ‘people have us yet had no negotiations with the steamship com- pany. Tge latter has stated thatfreight is what it wants, and that the terminus will go to the city that can furnish the most busi- ness. They expect to start the-line with one steamship per month before the year ends, and to increase the number of boats as fast as the business will warrant. s nd Power to Light Santa Cruz. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., July 8.—The Big Creek Power Company has_contracted with the Santa Cruz Electric Light Com- pany to furnish power for the 2500 lightsin use in this city. The Big Creek Company’s plant was ready for operation on June 15, demon- strating its capacity for furnishing an ex- traordinary light by illuminating the Odd Fellows’ building that night and during | the carnival. The Electric Light Company has gener- ated its electricity by steam power, but finds that the froposed change will be more econom: s AR, Cesar Piatti Dead. SAN JOSE, Cav., July 3.—Cmsar Piatti, a prominent Italian resident of this city, died this morning of pnenmonia. He was a pioneer resident of this valley, having settled in San Jose in 1852. For a number of years he was engaged in the comn.ission business. The deceased was 66 years of | age. A widow and son survive him. A Harney County’s Defaulting Sheriff. PORTLAND, Og., July 3.—Sheriff Gitt- ings of Harney County, alleged to be an embezzler of $5000, is supposed to be here, but the defective force has so far been un- able to locate him. Gittings’ defalcation caused a sensation throughout the State. He is well known and has always enjoyed an excellent reputation. MODERN NAVIES, Interesting Facts Gathered From a Recent Publication. The first full and exhaustive collection of facts and figures relating to the modern i navies of all nations has been prepared by | W. Laird Clowes, the data being complete to February of this year. “The Naval Pocket-Book” is a volume of nearly one thousand pages, printed in fine, clear type on onion-skin paper, containing a com- plete description of every vessel owned by any Government, whether battle-ship | or steam launch, revenue cutter or hulk, and telling where it was February 1. Whenever needed, for vessels of new types, plans are added, making the book indis- | pensable to all persons interested n the question of nayal armameat. On page 700 the author presents a comparative summary of the fieets of the world, divid- ing tis vessels according to their sirength to resist and line of battle power to attack. Those “‘for ' are divided into five classes: D.| F. | Totals.

NEW YORK FREE TO HIM. The Doctor Who Served Sheridan Re- membered. A prominent citizen of Philadelphia re- lates that a few days after the publication of the letter of the eminent physician, Dr. William Pepper, in which the latter gracefully and generously declined to ac- cept any compensation for the valu- able professional services he- had ren- dered to the heroic Sheridan in his last illness, he was driving across New York on his way home, via Jersey City, when he wasstoppad at Broadway by one of the great street pageants of the late campaign. Being anxious to catcn the next train, he appealed to a golicemnn. to permit the procession to be broken for the passage of his hackney coach. The officer was polite but firm in refusal, stating that his orders were not to break | the line except at stated intervals for the passage of streetcars. It having been rep- resented that the gentlomsn’n business was very urgent, he answered that in five minutes, when the cars would be permitted to pass, he would be given leave to fail in behina them if he would give the officer his name and address for use in the eventof his superior demand- ing an explanation. The name and ad- dress were no sooner furnished—the for- mer being aimost identical with that of the celebrated physician and provost of the uniyersity—thén the line was halted and broken, and the immediately allowed to pass. The officer touched his hat to the sur- prised Philldellynhn. who had not then heard of Dr. Pepper's letter, and said: “The man who served Sheridan and re. fused to take a fee for his services can pass ?y:}:’an, and at any time through New o] WAGED WAR N SEATTLE HOMES Mrs. Dawson Says General Carr Is a Society Meddler. VERSED IN INTRIGUE. She Declares That He Induced Her Husband to Sue for a Divorce. STORY TOLD BY THE WIFE, Reci‘al of a Plot to Compel Her to Quietly Submit to a Legal Separation. SEATTLE, Wasgn., July 8.—The most interesting witness in the Dawson divorce case to-day was the fair defendant. She commenced her story at last night’s ses- sion in Judge Hume's court, resumed it this morning and finished late this after- noon. Mrs. Dawson created a sensation by vehemently declaring that General Carr, at the head of the State Guards, was at the bottom of the trouble between her- self and husband. She charged that the militia leader invaded her home to bring discord, and that it was because of his counsels that her husband instituted the present action. Mrs. Dawson testified that not since their married life had Dr. Dawson been so kind to ber as since filing the present suit. 1t was formerly his custom to come home but once a day, and that usually late at night. Since he commenced this snit, however, he had never failed to call on her at least once, and sometimes two or three times daily. She said he brought ber icecream and other dainties and at night came into her boudoir and con- versed with her. He admitted, she said, that he never intended that the papers in this case should become a matter of record, but eimply had been prepared in the hope of forcing her not to contest the divorce. ON FVENTURA’S TENTED FIELD. Veterans Preparing for a Patriotic Natal- Day Celebration. VENTURA, CaAL., July 3.—The third | day of the Grand Army encampment has been passed in completing preparations for to-morrow’s parade, which will be the greatest in the history of the association. Arrivals continue to swell the ranks; tent room is being engaged by wire, and each incoming train adds to the crowd. A close estimate places the number of campers now registered at 650, which includes rep- resentatives from every Grand Army post and Women’s Reliel corps in Southern California. These figures do not_include the mem- bers of the Sons of Veterans, Women's Aid Society or Women’s Auxiliary corps. The camp is magnificently decorated, the National colors predonsinating. A reception was tendered Department { Commander T. C. Mastella last evening. At midnight the Ventura City band, headed by a citizens’ committe, serenadea Camp Phil Sheridan. The Grand Army orchestra and fife and drum corps re- sponded in kind. MAYOR SUTRO IN TOWN Increased Allowance Requested by the .Board of Health. Colin M. Boyd Asks for Proper Main- tenance of the Free Library. Mayor Sutro returned to the City from his Calistoga ranch yesterday morning. For a brief season the contractors and others who were awaiting his Honor's ap- proval of certain demands and resolutions were happy. This joy was transient, for when the Mayor was ready to sign the docaments it was ascertained that his sec- retary had sent them by mail to Napa County. The Mayor had not been ex- pected, so it was decided to send the papers to him. This, of course, deepened the gloom. It is possible that the Mayor may goup to Calistoga, sign the resolutions and return them before Monday. Another plan is for the Mayor to stay in town aud await the papers by return mail. Colonel Taylor, chairman of the Finance Committee, regarded it as a remarkable transaction that the official orders await- ing the Mayor’s approval should go out of the City Hall. It was still more remark- able that they should be sent to Napa County. The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors—Messrs. Taylor, Benjamin and Hobbs—met yesterday afternoon. Es- timates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, were not taken up in regular order, but the committee heard Coiin M. Bovd on behalf of the Free Public Library, J. B. Reinstein for the Board of Health and J. A. Filcher for the State Board of Trade. Mr, Boyd, as one of the trustees of the library, dyeiind the allowance for that in- stitution to be fixed at $58,000. The sum of $50,000 which tlre committee had pro- posed was inadequate, as a new branch of the library bad been established at Third and Harrison streets and the new elevator in the main library must be provided for. Mr. Boyd mentioned the increasing use- fulness and popularity of the hbrary and made an eloquent appeal for its proper maintenance. The chairman promised to give the sub- iect full and fair consideration. J. B. Reinstein, who was re-enforced by Dr. Loveiace, Health Officer, presented a document to the committee, which he said was signed by taxpayers who paid taxes on five hundred million dollars’ worth of property. When he was informed that the valuation of all the taxable property 1n the City did not exceed $350,000,000, he was prepared to modify the original state. ment. The document which Mr. Rein- stein desired the committee to consider reads: Resolved, That it is the sense of the commifi appointed at the meating held in th:.énl‘um‘m of Commerce, May 24, 1896, to discuss the ublic health of City and County of San rancisco, that the Board of Supervisors of said Ci? should appropriate at least $34,800 over and above theamounts and sums a) propriated in the year 1895, for the Health Beputm-m for such additional inspectors and expenses as :ond(h:egeo:rd fllonel.hlmblh‘u seem expedient T et reseryi the public health in this cn;.r = s Resol of this commit- 2 8 ou! tal 1 City immediately anam bnlen'nu -m?m :f fgfi: Wagons, at & COSt not to exceed $4000, and | sun was shining brightly. that the same should b maintained and that there should be established immediately & chemical and bacteriological laboratory at a | €ost not to exceed $3000. The document which Mr. Renstein pre- sented bears the signatures of the Manufac- turers’ and Producers’ Association, Board | of Trade, State Development Company,’ Produce Association, Unitarian Society. Frut Exchange, Hotel Association, all of the San Francisco banking institutions ex- cepting one, nearly ali the wholesale mer- chants, many real estate firms and com- mercial associations. Chairman Taylor indicated that there inz public demand for a reduc- ipal expenses. yet he assured the representatives of the Health Depart- ment that the subject presented by Mr. Reinstein should receive attention. J. A. Filcher from the State Board of Trade addressed the éommittee, asking an appropriation under the law suthorizing | counties to appropriate money to promote immigration. He read from the county government act the authorization for counties of the first-class to allow $2500 a year for immigration purposes. Mr. Filcher ssid as an additional reasoa why San Francisco should join other counties in the work of bringing new settlers to the State was the fact that the Board of Trade was lncated in this C. He said: “We propose to get a small amouat from every county in the State. We should | like to make an exhibit at Boston and | Omabha similar to the display we made at i Atlanta. We won seventy-five medals for | our Siave exhibit at Atlanta.” | Mr. Filcher said that twenty-seven | coanties were now contributing to the | fund. He did not ask for t he full amount which the law authorized the board to | appropriate, but did suegest that $30 a i month should be voted by San Francisco to help sustain the Board of Trade. The application will receive further con- sideration before the estimates are adopted. A SWISS MOUNTAIN STORM. 1 A TPourist Passed Through It on His Way to Lucerne Cathedral. From Interlachen we went over the | Brunig Pass together to Lucerne. .While | crossing Lake Lucerne we were favored with a mountain storm. I{came up sud- denly. The sun was shining brightly when the storm burst upon us, the thun- der crashing terrifically, the rain pour- | ing down in torrents, the wind blowirg furiously, the setting sun tinging the | clouds with red, the rain looking like | blood. I never saw anything more terri- | bly beautiful. The storm passed over in a few minutes, the wind bundling up one | great cloud and rolling it along the face of the Righi like a buge ball. | Ican speak of only one thing in Lucerne— the great organ in the cathedral. The sun | was shining brightly when we went in. | After waiting a few minutes the organist | began. I do not know the name of the selection. I was not at first particularly impressed. I only just enjoved the music. Very soon, however, thé music changed. It was eviaently represeniing astorm. We could hear the first sighing of the wina, then it would die away, and there was a pattering of raindrops; then the wind rising and low murmurs of | thunder.
