Had it not been for the prompt warning given by Gwin there might have been many fatalities, as a number of the people whose homes were destroyed, had already retired for the night. HEMMED IN BY TOREST I Narrow Escape of Two San Diego Men. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1.—Fletcher Court-| ney and George Heylmann, young men | of this . have returned from Palomar Mountain, in the northern part of the | county, with a tale of hardship. They | were on a prospecting trip and were encamped on the thern side of the mountain when the great forest fire of a few days ago raged over the summit of the tain, destroying hundreds of acres of large pine and oak trees, some of | the pines being nearly 100 feet in helght. Although several miles from the fire, the young men could plainly see the ames in the sky and hear the roaring de by the gration, and they left mp and went up to get a better view of the s;ectacle. When about to return | Courthey and Heylmann discovered that the fire had crept around them and was advancing from all_sides and threatening to cremate them. The apparent impossi- | bility of escape almost paralyzed the Hung men, an omed, an agreement was made to shoot themselves with the guns they carried rather than be burned to death. Before | the fire reached them, however, their bet- | | ter judgment returned and they decided | to cover their heads with their coats and make an attempt to escape xhrough the | burning trees. Courtney stumbled on a | rock before going far and burned his hands severely on the blazing branches which had fallen to the ground. When the two succeeded ip reaching the | open they discovered that thelr camp had been swept over by the fire, destroying | all their possessions., They were compelled {to walk several miles down the mountaln | for food, and to Escondido, a distance of | twenty miles, before thev could procure transportation to this cit Portuguese Convention.

Tt is the prevailing impression, fostered by the practices of men like Succl and Dr. nner, that in order to endure a long fast man must absolutely refrain from physical exercise and devote his whole | time to caring for himself. Milton Rath- bun, a merchant of Mount Vernon, N. Y., | has proved that this is a fallacy, so far as it applies to his own case at least. He recently went twenty-eight days with- out nourishment, without letting up for a moment_on_the dally routine of his business. Mr. Rathbun is 52 years of age, a prosperous and wealthy man, with noth- ing unusual or cranky in his make-up or ways of life. He fasted simply because he wanted to reduce his weight, fearing that its gradual increase might bring on apoplexy. He succeeded in his efforts. He welighed 210 pounhds when he stopped eat- ing; when he resumed at the end of twen- ty-eight days he tipped the scale at 168 pounds—a loss of forty-two pounds of flesh. A singular fact in Mr, Rathbun's experience was that after the first twenty- four hours he experienced no sense of hunger at all, and had no unpleasant sensations of any kind. He slept and worked in the regular way, his mind clear and his strength unabated to the end. He drank copiously of water dur- ing the period, but took nothing else. When he began to eat again he took only a little food at first, increasing the amount gradually until, within a few days, he was back to his former routine of diet. Mr. Rathbun holds to the theory that the average man eats far more than necessary for his health or comfort, and that an occasional period of absolute ab- stention from food for several days is good for the system. This theory cer- tainly has the support of Mr. Rathbun's | own practice.—Leslie's Weekl —_———— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

SUTTSMAVS CREN UNDER ARREST Are Caught Laden With Their Plunder. _— Special Dispatch to The Call. MONTREAL, Oct. .—When the steamer | Montfort reached this port to-day pollce‘ officers arrested twenty-three members of the Scotsman’s crew, laden with plunder. Twenty officers on the wharf awaited the vessel's arrival. The policemen were kep concealed until the gangways were along: side, ‘when they suddenly swarmed on| board and in a second had rounded up the | Scotsman’s crew. It was done so quickly that the men had no opportunity of ridding themselves of any traces of guilt. Half | a dozen patrol wagons were waiting| alongside and into these the sailors wert hustled, amid the jeers and hisses of a large crowd ‘which had gathered. “Throw them into the river!” was the cry that went up. Had it not been far | the presence of the police the threat | would probably have been carried into | effect. The men were taken to the Central Police Station and stripped. When the | search was ended there remained not the slightest doubt. of pilla and violence told by the unlucky passengers of the | Scotsman. Among the goods found were jewelry of every kind, ladies’ dregses, silks and | satins, men’s wearing apparel and privat papers’ were even included in the prey. The will of Mr. Lefter was taken from one man, The value of the articles re- | covered is placed at $3000. i The Greclan came in about noon and | from her the police took nine cattlemen | who were upon the Scotsman.

USE FOR OLD GLOVES. Attractive Things Can Be Made Out of Them. What a problem it is to know what to do with our old gloves. Some girls have box and packages of them stowed away. hey get them out only now and again, look at_them, think over all the good | times they had when- wearing them at | dances, dinners, ete., wonder if the gloves could possibly be cleaned again, then fold hem away—still wondering—and say: They are of no use to any one, and yet I hate to throw them away; they may One girl has found use for them at last, | and this is not one of the “swell” girls | with dozens and dozens of long gloves to | match every evening gown, but a girl who | had few palrs and who liad to be very | careful of them, too, to make them last the season out. When her eyes fell upon a hopeless- looking heap of dirty gloves—white and pale colors—an Inspiration came to her. I | shall cut off the hands and make some- | thing out of the rest of the Kkid.” She{ carefully ripped the seams of the upper | parts, cleaned them thoroughly with naphtha, gasoline and magnesia, accord- ing to how they were soiled, and then she set to work. Out of the long parts of a pair of pale pink gants de suede she made a beautiful picture frame simply by pasting the kid over a cardbcard frame (the paste only being put on the back). A card case of pearl gray kid is another of the protty things she has made. It is entirely cov- ered with the kid, sewed neatly together on the edges, which are finished with small steel beads. On the outside is a monogram, em- broidered in steel beads, done, of course. before the case was covered. Stlll an- other exceedingly pretty thing is a book cover or photograph case. This she made of two or three pairs of pale vellow gants de suede. The pleces were too narrow to go the entire width, so she cut them Into strips of equal size, and when joined she sewed on narrow gold braid. The whole was bound with the same and the book tied in with a band of corn colored satin ribbon. There seems to be no end to the list of attractive things she devises. There are button bags lined with silk and featlier- stitched on the seam: and opera-glass bags way; card cases and spool cases. she has painted or embroldered; ghe has simply finished off with a bit of ribbon. And the hands of the gloves out of which all these pretty things were made were thrown away? Not at all. She cut off the tops of the fingers and gave them to the housemaid to wear when she cleaned her fireplaces or her brasses and silver, and she kept some of them to wear herself when polishing up her own particular silver trinkets. Too Many Dogs in Kansas. Kansas has suffered in past years from an overproduction of grasshoppers and Populists. It is now afflicted, it appears, with a surplusage of dogs. It is long on | dogs, but short on sheep. The secretary | of the Kansas Agricultural Society de- plores this fact in a recent report. He | shows that there are but 200,000 sheep in | the State, while the number of dogs is | 176.000. Two vears ago_the sheep out- numbered the dogs by 30 per cent, while last year this percentage was reduced to 17. In one L‘Oun!i’ there were 909 dogs to each sheep, and In twelve selected coun- ties there were 209 dogs to each sheep. If | a similar investigation were made in other States we doubt not ‘that some of them would show an equal disproportion of dogs and sheep. But it is not a good sign anywhere. Prosperity for the farmer does not lie along the way of an increase in the dog crop.—Leslie’'s Weekly. —————— Judghwhi did you steal this gentle- man’s purse?

The Empress Dowager’s has definitely fallen upon Pu Tsuan, the 9-year-old son of Duke Tsai Lan, fo succeed Kuang Hsu as Emperor of China. This imperial candidate can only speak the Manchu dialect, and knows no_Chinese. Kuang Hsu has already been urged to draw up a memorial to the Empress Dowager asking to be allowed to resign his throne owing to his chronic illness. Pretence will be made by the Empri ignation _and to consider the matter again. This will be done three time: and at the third time the resignation is to be accepted, as showing the Emperor ly anxious to resign.

The references were all that could be desired, but instead of writing to her, as I promised. something told me to go and see her. I obeyed the impulse. After changing cars several times I found myself in an obscure part of Boston, face to face with the identical green door and knocker that I had seen in my dream. Trembling, I knocked. The door opened into a shoe shop with a cobbler at his bench. The young woman I had seen in the intelligence office came forward to meet me as I stared at her. “‘I don't want you,’ I blurted out, and, turning, fled from the house. “I never could tell how I reached home, but for months after I never suf- fered Daisy to leave my sight, so fear- ful was I that the woman would find out where we lived and steal the child from me.” “Curious!” cried her companions, | while the countenances of the listeners reflected relief that Daisy had escaped the clutches of the kidnapers.—New York Tribune. —_———————— Admits His Own Impeachment. A story is told of two prominent Chi- cago lawyers who several years ago were regarded as being among the brightest lawyers the State had pro- duced for a long time. There was great rivalry between these men, and one day they were having a heated argument on }ih?dsteps of the State House at Spring- eld. “T'll agree to leave it to the first man we meet,” said one of the wrangling lawyers, fiercely. “All right, and that will settle it once for all—ah, here is Charlle —, We'll leave it to him.” ‘“Charlie,”” as the man spoken of ap- proached within hearing distance, “‘we want you to decide who is the best law- yer in Illinoi We agree to abide by your decision.” “Well,”” replied “Charlie,” himself an old practitioner, and well known in the capital city, “I plead guilty to being the best lawyer in the State myself. Both men gasped in astonishment at his assurance. “Why, Charlie, how can it be proved?” inquired the first of the two Chicagoans. “You don’t have to prove it,” replied the Springfield man; I admit it, don’t 1?"—Chicago Journa! ——————— Betrayed by His Fingers. A rich American residing in the St. George's quarter, in Paris, has been for some time past the victim of systematic thefts. Bank notes and money not left under lock and key disappeared regularly. M. Cornette, the Commissary of Police, was informed of the robberies. He found it would be impossible to keep an effective watch on the bedroom where the thefts occurred, but he adopted a stratagem which turned out successfully. A small vial containing a mixture of pieric acid | and fuschine was placed fn a metal case for holding gold and a few napoleons were placed on top. In order to get out the gold the metal case had to be held up- side down, and then, of course, the chem- ical preparation would run out and stain the thief's hands a bright and indelible yellow. As soon as some of the gold was missed M. Cornette summoned all the servants to his presence. The valet's fin- gers betrayed him. Realizing the useless- ness of denying when caught yellow-hand- ed, he confessed, and was duly locked up. —Pittsburg Dispatch. ADVERTISEMEINTS.
