STOCKTON, CaL., July 26.—Mrs. Jor- dan and Mrs. Thorpe are two women who exhibited a good deal of pluck Saturday afternoon, and showed what a woman can do when the man of the house is not around.

He would not show tha paper, however. “Well, I don’t see any order, and we heard nothing about this, so you better take that grain off the wagon and put it back where you got it. or I will shoot ad off witn this.” Thorpe drew the pistol from her dress pocket as she spoke and coolly pointed it at the man kson wavered, but he packed the grain back to the pile, under the muzzie of Mrs. Thorpe's re- volver, and was then ordered off the place. e LATHEOP CUT1ING AFFRAY. a Pugilist Ben Maxwell Attempts to Mur- der Another Negro. STOCKTON, Car, July %.— Charles imms, colored, this morning appeared before District Attorney Nutter to geta | warrant for the arrest of Ben Maxwell, a colored pugilist, for attempted murder. At Lathrop yesterday Simms received a gash across his neck, which, if it had been a little lower, would have ended his life. Simms tells the following story: ‘I work on A. A. Sturgeon’s place near Lathrop as a cook. On Saturday night 1 went to town and met Maxwell at a saloon on Lower Market street. [ loaned him a querter and then asked him if he nted to ride out to the ranch with me. He did and I took him along. We got out Sunday morning and' I cooked break- fast. I said we would go to Lathrop ana have a good time. On the way I pushed him acainst the wagon whee! in fun and he said he would kill me. When we got to Lathrop and were in a saloon there he drew a kuife and slashed my throat with- out a word."” Maxwell after the cutting started for Tracy, but he will be apprehended by the officers along the line on information sent from here. —_—— KICKED BY A VICIUUS HURESE.

STOCKTON, CAL., July 26.—A serious cutting affray took place in the office of the Windsor Hotel at about 9 o’clock last night. It may result in the loss to E. E.

STOCKTON, Car., July 26.—It is stated with a good deal of authenticity in politi- cal circles that Sheriff “Tom” Cunning- iiam is “all right” for United States Mar- shal to succeed Barry Baidwin. The Sheriff has had his eye on that office since the last election, and has not been slow to take advantage of any points. . The Sheriff 1ssaid to be quite close to Attorney- General McKenna and McKenna is quite close to McKinley, s0 it would not be sur- prising to see the San Joaq nin Sheriff in }inrry Baldwin's official gaiters before ong. SOLOMONVILLE'S MYSTERY, Cowunty Surveyor Samuwel Logan Among the Missing. SOLOMONVILLE, Arrz., July 26.—The friends and relatives of County Surveyor Samuel Logan are making anxious in- quiries as to his whereabouts. He has been absent from this county and vicinity for the past two months anda all efforts of his friends to locate him or tmce any of nis movements since he left the Indian Reservation have been futile. He was last seen at El Paso about two weeks after he bad finished surveying the San Carlos Apache reservation coal fields. Letters and telegrams have gone all over the country in search of him, but his strange absence orly grows the more mysterious. He was sober, industrious, 8 man of ex- emplary conduct. In October of last year Logan received a contract from the Surveyor-General’s office to sezregate the coal fields that lay on the Indian reservation and_to specify where the line was to be run. Thissurvey was earefully made and all the papers for- | and ambitious. | fair that ever had been held at Oswego | | eood schedule of horseraces. warded to the general land office at Tuc- son. The locators on the strip were con- fident that it wouid soon be opened for settlement and they went ahead with the work on their claims. 5 About a month later word was received from the Surveyor General's office that the survey made by Logan was unaccept- able to the depariment and Logan was directed to return to the reservation and locate his lines. = Logan had about $600 coming to him yet on the contract and it was supposed that he would return to the reservation and correct his work at once. he prospectors at Coal Fields have been waiting anxiously for him ever since. His mail has accu- mulated here and his finances are sup- posed to be in good shape. Insteadof go- ing tothe reservation at once he went o El Paso, but his whereabouts since he was seen there remain an simpenetrable mys- tery. GREELEY'S HANDWRITING. How Its Illegibility Was Turned to Ac- count by a Manager of a Fair. Every compositor who ever put in type any of Horace Greeley’s copy will certify o the fact that his handwriting was al- most illegible. It was the despair of the composing-room, and even Greeley him- self couldn’t always decipher it. A man who was many years ago the president of the Oswego County Agricultural Associa- | tion said several days ago that he had good reason on one occasion to be thank- ful that Mr. Greeley’s writing was hard to decipher. This fact secured for him a star attraction at the fair which he could not have obtained otherwise. The asso- ciation ot which he was president made a zreat effort each year to outdo_rival asso- ciations in its fair, and one of its regular attractions was a distinguished speaker who delivered an address to the crowd on ubject he might select. When [ was made president,” said the ex-officer of the association, *'I was young I wanted to give the bast Falls, and I was willing to work hard to accomplish such a result. Long before- hana I stirrea up the farmers to raise big unashes and pumpkins, and Ifnrepnred a secured a man to make a balloon ascension, and all that was lacking in my programme was the speaker. At that time Mr. Greeley | was the most conspicuous man in the United States. We all wanted to) see him and hear him speak. He| was a very busy man, however, and I knew that we had abont one chance in ten of securing him. 1 determined to | take that chance. After much prelimi- | nary thought and manv consuitations | with others I prepared and sent to him a | very creditable invilation to attend our fair and deliver an address on any subject that he chcse. I assured bim that he | would find only friends in his audience, and I said that we had long looked for such an opportunity to hear him. Two days later the village Postmaster told me he haa a letter that he thought was ad- oressed to me. I had heard a good deal about Greeley’s handwriting and 1 knew at once that this was my reply from Mr. Greeley. When I opened the envelope I found a sheet of paper, on | which were irregular scrawls that | couldn’t decipher. With several of my friends I puzzled over it a long time, but I couldn’t read it. Iremembered that the ; editor of our paper had at one time been familiar with Mr. Greeley’s handwriting, and [ took the letter to him. He was a little bit out of practice, but he deciphered it after half an hour's examination. Mr. | Greeley regretted that he was unable to accept our invitation. That was a greaf | disappointment to me. I thought it over, and suddenly it dawned on me that there was just a chance that I might by strategy get Mr. Greeley to Oswezo Falls aher| all. Isent him another letter that must | nave staggered him. Mr. Greeley was well aware of the fact that his writing was | almost iliegible, and he was never much | surprised when his letters were miscon- strued. Isimply took advantage of thar, and in my second letter I thanked him for accepting our invitation. To leave him no loophole for escape, I told him that we had begun to distribute handbills announcing the fact that he was going to deliver the address at the fair, and I added that I had ordered the printers to place his name in big letters on our three- sheet posters. I knew that when he got my letter he would conclude that we had | read his letter declining the invitation as a letter of acceptance, and I hoped when he learned how far we had gone with the printing that he would conclude to come. We received no reply from Mr. Greeley, but from time to time we sent him our posters and information about the fair and the town. A week before the day set for the address we sent him a time table and told him on what train we should look for him. I was uneasy all | this time, because I knew that if Mr. Greeloy didn’t turn up Ishould be blamed. When the day for the great event ar- rived I went to the station to await the train. Sure enough Mr. Greeley was on board. Iintroduced myself to him as the man who had sent him the invitation and who had receivea his very kind ac- captance. Mr. Greelev looked at me closely and there was a suspicion of a smile on his face. “You had no difficulty in reading my letter 2" he said. “«Well, it was a little hard to decipher it at first,” I replied, ‘and we were in aoubt for a few minutes whetheryou said ‘“Yes” or “No"” to our invitation. When we did decipher the letter we were very much pleased to find that you had agreed to come.’ “‘Humph! said Mr. Greeley, express- | ively. ‘You ordered your posters at once, didn’t you?’ | “+Yes,’ I replied; ‘we wanted every one to know what an attraction we had to offer.” “Mr. Greeley again looked at me closely as if he were & bit suspicious. He delv-| ered the addre-s, and the largest crowd in | the bistory of the association heard him. Whether or not he suspected the trick I had played on him I never discovered. He intimated to one of my friends that be had his suspicions, and he made the remark that I would make an excellent politician. That was his only comment. 1 still haye Mr. Greeley’s letter, and any one who will examine it will see how easily it might have been mistaken for an acceptance.”’—New York Sun. e HE SPOILED THE DEAL A Youngster Who Was Too Ready to Tell What He Knew. It don’tzdo for any one, especially’one who is selling goods, to tell all he feels and knows. Something should be kept in reservation. I have a grandson whoillus- trates the point. A man drove up to the store the other day and hziled me with: *I hear your son_has a horse to sell.” “Yes, said L. ‘“‘He has a fine little bay mare he would part with.” “Fetch her out,” said be. We went back to the barn, followed by five-year-old Jim, my grandson. The mare was brought out, and the visitor was quite taken with her. He asked her age, RED MEN CHOOSE HEIR OFFICERS Charles Schlessinger Is Re-elected Grand Chief. Sixty-Five Members Gained by the Order During the Past Year.

SANTA CRUZ, Caw., July 26.—Before the Santa Cruz baseball team left for San Francisco to play two games with the Fresno team, John C. Bullivan of the Sea Beach Hotel said that if they won both games he would give them a ‘‘spread” upon their return. To-night be kept his word. The members of the team and.a number heir friends were tendered a banquet at the hotei. The large dining- rooms were elegantly decorated in their honor, and on the tables were spread dishes to delight an epicure. Lieutenant- Governor Jeter acted as master of cere- monies. Toasts apropos of the baseball victory were proposed and responded to, and the evening was spent very pleas- | antly. The town isnotdone talking of the boys’ triumpn in the games of Saturday and Sunday at Cengrai Park, and the Santa Cruzan who is not positive that the local team will win the league championship has not been found. ROBBED A PORTLAND WOMAN. Young Culprit From the Monitor Monterey Steals a Purse and Is Jalled. PORTLAND, Or., July 26.—Joe Wilson, an 18-year-old boy from the monitor Mon- terey, was arrested this morning at 2 o'clock by Detective Reilly on Oak street, between First and Second, for robbery. Wilson last night left the vessel without leave and started in to have a good time. At about midnight he brecught up at ‘the fortune-telling crib of Julia Carson. He wanted his fortune told and handed over 50 cents. The woman placed the silver coin in a purse contained in a small drawer of a chiffonier. At this juncture Wilson, according to the woman’s story, leaped at her throat like a wild beast, straugling her until she surrendered the purse, which he appro- priated and fled. The purse contained §25 in various coins, which Wilson’s victim accurately described. Three hours later, when Detective Reilly brought the thug before the woman, she identified him. Before being locked up Wilson confessed to having been imprisoned a number of times in San Francisco for what he termed minor of- fenses and said that he was a nephew of Harry Hayes, owner of the Mariners' Home, on Mission street, San Francisco. The young sailor will plead guilty to- morrow, which is equivalent to waiving examination. The Grand Jury will not meet until September, by which time the Monterey will in all probability nave sailed. Suould he then be indicted and convicted he will be dishonorably dis- charged from the navy. Should he be acquitted, he will be sent to his ship, wherever it may be lying, and there re- ceive the punishment ordained by the regulations of the navy for desertion. i A wi Mourning in Eureka. EUREKA, Cav, July 25—Mrs. George Graham, one of the pioneer women of Huamboldt County, died at her home in this city to-day. She was 75 years of age. Mrs. Graham came to Bureka in 1853, At the time of her arrival Eureka was a primitive lumber camp.

German, a brickmaker, committed suicide at Mountain View last night by hanging NEW looked her over, found out the selling price, and then asked: * “Any bad habits?” “*No,” said I promptly. Young Jim stood with his hands in his pockets, his legs apart and his hat on one side. As I answered he looked up, and in a shrill voice exclaimed: ‘*‘She balks.” “‘She does, sonny?” said the man. Thav’s a good boy, always tell the truth.’ “‘The kid doesn’t know what he is talk- ing about,” satu I, “‘Sometimes she shies, and tha¥'s what he means.” Young America turned an indignant eye on me. “Now, grandpa, you know she does. Didn’t dad build a fire under | her to make her go?'’ The stranger patted him on the head and zave him a nickel. “Youdon't wan$ her?’ I said. “No; Idon’t thick Ido.” I said notbing to the boy.

Leris, the sister of Gambetta, sent to the Nouvelle Revue the following curi- ous document, which Menelek II, the present Emperor of Ethiopia, sent to the famous French statesman in 1850: **Menelek II, by the grace of God King ot Chao, t0 Monsieur Leon Gambetta, President of the Chamber of Deputies: **How are you? We, by the grace of the Almighty, are very well, and all our armies, too. “After praying you to accept our best wishes for your health and prosperity we write: *'The news that comes to us from Eu- rope makes us recognize in you a man ue- voted to his country. All our sympathy is given to men who are devoted to their countries; and that is the reason wWhy ve offer to you, and pray you to accept and believe in, our consideration and friend- ship. *'We are also writing to the President of the French Republic. We ask for much, and we also hope for much from the great French nation, which was the first (0 plant among us the ideas of civilization. ““We recognize in you the defender and protector of the oppressed, and we address ourselves to you in the firm conviction that you will do something for our people, for whom we solicit the benefits of civii- izavion. That is something w..ich we can never have so long as we remain in the power of nations whose interest it is to hold us in absolute ignorance of European affairs. = **We hope, therefore, that you will con- sider favorably our position, and that God may inspire you favorably toward our kingdom, which at present stands in need, we fear, of the assistance of every generous heart. “We take tne liberty to present to you, by our confidential envoys, in testimony of our nrofound friendship for you: “1.

Comedian William H. Crane says that the greatest brass band that this country ever knew was an organization in Oi- tumwa, lowa, many years ago. “I've heard Gilmore and Sousa and zll the rest,” said Mr. Crane recently, “‘but their bands couldn’t be compared with the prairie aggregation for a moment. “In my theatrical salad days—when I was much younger than I am now—I was trying to pilot a company of thespian bright lights throughout ths Western provinces. Business was bad and our trezsury was low. At Ottumwa the thea- ter orchestra had some sort of a grievance against the management and demanded pay in advance. 'he theater refused, and our organiza- tion was not fnancially in a position to discount the future for a single moment. So I started out to find some sort of music, if possible, to tide us over. I finally suc- ceeded in getting the Ottuma brass band to agree to play three seleciions in front of the theater bsfore the performance in re- turn for free admission to the show. “The band showed up on time, carried out its part of the contract and went into the theater. I wason tbedoor that nignt, and by and by 1 wasstruck by the fact that the Ottunmwa brass band must be one of the most remarkable musical organiza- tions in the country. Kvery minute or two somebody would come up to the door with a brass horn under his arm, wave it at me and ssil on into the theatéf without a word. After I had passed in fifty or sixty musicians in this way, I beran to grow a trifle suspicious, and stopped an old granger who was carrying ic a big tuba, “‘Excuse me, sir,’ [ remarked, ‘but do you play in the band? “‘Nope,” he answered. ““What are you doing with that horn, then?’ I asked. “‘I'm goin’ to go in on it if I can,’ e repli=d, candidly. ***Whose is it?’ I inquired. “‘Blamed if I know,’ he said. ‘A feller outside there gave 1t to me, and said I could get in with it.” *‘1 left the door and stepped inside the theater just in time to see one of the band boys drop another horn out of a window irlxlto the hunds of somebody outside in the alley. “As noarly as I can calculate, the Ot- tuma brass band that night must have had more members than Gilmore or Sousa ever directed at one time,”’—Chicago Times-Herald. THEY PREFER MEN, Women Do Not Like to Buv Shoes of Women Clerks. «*A"foman cannot sell shoes to other women,” said a prominent shoe-dealer to a Washington Star reporter. ‘‘Strange as it may appear, women will make the se- lections and purchases from male clerks every time, and it is for this reason that 80 few shoe-deslers employ women clerks. While women will buy shoes from male clerks they would not think of buying stockings from them. It's not only in this, butin all the other cities in this country, that this is true. *Now, in Europe it is somewhat the other way, and in many of the larger shoe there are more women establishment Extracted - FILLED - - ¥ s Bridgework 5 PAIN.

In buying shoes women are much more confidential than men are. A man—that is, the great run of men—doesn’t care so much for looks as he does for comfort and fit. With women this is reversed. They make com- fort and fit secondsry to the matter of looks. Somehow women think that the man clerk has better judgment in the matter of looks than any woman clerk has or could have. ©“Tiere 13 no use trying to argue the question even if there was any room for argument. Dealers have to recognize the fact and be governed by it. I have never bhad a woman ask me why I did not em- ploy women clerks, while I have had hun- dreds of men ask that question. Now while men will ask that and similar ques- tions, there is not one in a hundred who would buy their shoes from a woman clerk if we had them. I suyppose it isthe laws of trade which regulate such matters, Certain it is that I don’t know anything of the causes, though I have been selling shoes for over thirty-five years. ltis to be presumed that I would have learned something in that time about it, but I confess I have not.”’ —Washington Star. ——————— A Wider Field.
