The equipment is to be of the | | simplest character—a light hammer or | two, tongs, a slight sledge, a small anvil, an open coal fire and small sized bar iron, round and square, cut into short pieces. The little blacksmith will | have a leather apron and will wear old clothes because of the sparks. The entire outfit will rot cost much, and if desired this cost can be decreased | by getting a square block of cast iron from some foundry instead of buying an anvil. It matters little what the boy may attempt to make, he is bound to use | every muscle in his body. It is well | known that the left arm and shoulder muscles are exercised less than the right side, but the young iron worker will grip his tongs with his left fin- { , and every time he strikes a ham- | mer blow he will instinctively oppose it with the muscles of his left arm. The mere act of hammering will bring into play all the muscies of his right arm, back, loins and chest, for he will He will be directed to heat his iron and then make a square bend. This is not so simple as it looks, and his first attempt will result in a curved hook. After a few lessons he will be required to point one end of a square ‘l:uaw and so he will be led along until he can circle a light bar around the horn of the anvil. All this time he is unconsciously ab- sorbing the great lessgn of systematic application; he is learning to lay out work on a definite plan, and then me- thodically following that plan to se- cure the desired result, exactly what the skilled blacksmith docs. e S ritnaiet =N “I see that Delaware is the only State that has not provided for an exhibit at the St. Louis exposition.” “She’ll make the same old excuse, I suppose.” “What's that?"” “Fallure of the peach crop.”—Cleve- land Plain Dealer | charge | those HANDSOME TROPHIES FOR PLAYERS THAT MAKE THE HIGHEST SCORES Members of Unity Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, Complete Prepara- tions for Prize Whist Tournament to Be Given Tuesday Evening at Alcatraz Hall, Eighth and Peralta Streets, for Benefit of Organization Mss IIINVIE JIRRIMA KRs A G IeX L OAKLAND, March 6.—The members of Unity Chapter, No. 65, Order of East- ern Stars, will give a prize whist tournament next Tuesday evening, March §, at Alcatraz Hall, on Eighth | and Peralta streets. of the affair has provided large number of handsome trophies for that make the highest The tournament is for the benefit Unity Chapter.

Wood accidentally discharged his rifle and a heavy 44-caliber bullet passed through the center of his right hand and tore away the thumb of the left hand. The accident occurred far above Cape York, 600 miles from Nome, and ade- quate medical attendance was procur- able only at Nome. O’Donnell quickly perceived that heroic action was nec- essary if the Eskimo’s life was to be saved. Loading provisions on a sled he started with him, but they were soon compelled to abandon the sled and carry the food on their backs. They reached Nome December 22 Wood was truly grateful, O'Donnell had saved h's life. ————— PASSING OF SENTENCE ON GRIFFITHS IS DEFERRED declaring | Judge Smith, Who Presided dt Trial of the Case, Is at Present Absent From Los Angeles.

TACOMA, Wash, March 6.—The commercial bodies of the Sound cities | have been keeping wires to Washing- ton hot for several days in an effort to obtain assurances from Secretary | Moody that work at the Puget Sound | Navy Yard is not to be suspended. The work now on hand there will be finished in April. Eighty-five men were taken off the pay roll last week and since December the force of nine hun- éred men has been cut in two. Some have feared that Secretary Moody would close the works at Bremerton as an effort to cut down the price of ad- jacent lands which the department wishes to buy. Negotiations have been suspended lately because of high prices asked by John Bremer and others. The Washington delegation in Con- gress has urged Secretary Moody to have repaired at Bremerton the cruiser New York, on which something like $700,000 is to be spent. Last night Senator Foster wired as follows: Becretary Moody has given me positive as- surance that our navy vard will be given eq consideration with that of Mare Island, either through assignment, which you suggest, or otherwise. This means that other war vessels will be sent to Bremertcn if the New York is not. —_—— Inspectors Exonerate Officers.

The | man used a Winchester rifle. He placed the muzzle of the weapon to his breast, over the heart, and pulled the trigger. The sound was muffled by the gun being held close to Young’s breast, and his wife and a lady friend, inside the house, were unaware of the tragedy that had been enacted until they came across the lifeless form some time later. Young came up from the barn, where he had been laboring, and secured the rifle, but his wife supposed he intended to kill some animal. There can be no cause ascribed for Young's desire to do away with himself. His married life had been happy, he #had wealth and fewer troubles than fall to the lot of the average man. Coroner Blackburn's jury determined that the deed was done while deceased was temporarily insane. Young was a member of a pioneer family of Healds- burg and Alexander Valley, and his tragic end caused a sensation among his friends there. He was widely known throughout Northern California. —_—e———— PERSONAL. W. G. Douglass, a capitalist of Car- son City, is at the Lick. James M. Meighan, a mining man of Groveland, is at the Palace. F.
