APRIL. 10, 1899.
ORR GOLD DISCOVERY.
In the year 1854 I was introduced to
““q Mrs. Bennett, who was one of the
pioneer women of this coast; she came
here with her family in 1844, and settled on a ranch, where the city of
Santa Clara now stands. She told me
that the year 1845 was very dry, 80
much so that her boys had to drive the
cattle to the mountains to get green
feed and they took them up the Mokelumne river, where they kept them un-.
til there was feed in the valleys. On
their retura they brought back with
. them three large,bright, shining, yellow
stones, as large as a man’s two fists,
which were quite heavy. The boys got
them as curiosities, but as they had no
use for them, Mrs. Bennett placed them
on the floor to keep the door from bedng-blowa to by the wind. é
* ‘'There they remained until the time
of Fremont’s trouble, when he came
that way with his little army to conquer the Mexicans. He made his camp
near her house and came there frequently. One day he, with two of his
officers, + noticed the yellow stones.
Frement asked her where she got them.
She said the boys had found them ia
the dry bed of the. Mokelumne river in
the mountains while herding the cattle
and they had said there were plenty
more of them there. Fremont said
they were quite pretty and he would
l'ke one of them; she readily gave it;
the other two officers wanted the other
two, which she gave them.
These “stones” were pure gold, as
she afterwards found out. I have often thought that Fremont reported
this to the government and it might
have been a great factor in securit g

Why is this thus? The Sunset Telephone Company assured its patrons
in this city that just as soon as there

company brought to my store today a
new list of the patrons in this city and
I counted them and find there are one
handred and fifty-seven—fifty-seven
more than they required for aa allnight service. Such a big corporation
as the Sunset cannot afford to make a
promise that they will not redeem.
Will they do it without further notice?
Or will it be nevessary for the patrons
to get up a petition requesting them to
do as they promised? There has been
a constant murmuring about this matter for some time, and it will now assume shape im the way of a petition,
but it is hoped the “Sunset Company
will not compel its patrons to do this,
but will immediately announce that it . .
will do as agreed with its patrons.

A VICTIM OF TELEPATHY.
His Absurd Delusions Finally Banished by the-Hypnotic Route.
There came to me late one night a
strangér in wildest despair resolved to
commit suicide that night if I could
not help him, says Professor Munsterberg in The Atlantic. He had been a
physician, but had given up his practice because his brother,.on the other
side of the ocean, hated him and had
him’ under his telepathic) influence,
troubling him from over the sea with
voices which mocked him and with impulses to foolish actions. He had not
slept nor had he eaten anything for
several days, and the only chance for
‘life he saw. was that a new hypnotic influence might’ d6verpower the ‘mystical
hypnotic forces. 2* » er
I soon fountl the source of his trouble. In treating himself for a wound he
had misused cocaine in an absurd way,
and the hallucinations of ‘voices were
the chief symptom of his cocainism.
These products of: his poisonéd’ brain
had sometimes reference to his brother
in Europe, and thus the telepathic system grew in him and permeated his
whole life. I hypnotized him, and sug:
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose of
cocaine.’ Then I hypnotized him daily
for six weeks. After ten days he gave
up cocaine eéntirely,-after three weeks
the voices disappeared, and after that
the othér symptoths faded away. ‘It was
not, however, until the end that the
telepathic system was exploded,
Even when the voices had gone he
for.awhile felt his movements controlled
ver the ocean, and: after: six weeks,
vhen .1.had..him qnite.well. again, he
pretation, s. vividly had ‘he*felt the
distant influences. : :
VOCAL CULTURE.
The First Step Is Keeping the Mouth
Shut, Asleep or Awake.
‘ ‘‘Proper breathing is so. essential in
voice production that it must receive
first attention, and the first requirement
is to keep the mouth shut;’’ writes
Katharine E. Junkermann in The Woman's Home Companion. ny
? “Of course no tone can be either
strong or pure if the lungs-are cram
so that the air cannot Pan pi, oo
der to increase the size of the } capacity raise the chest and keep the body
well and strongly poised. a
“So. much*harm has béen done to
voices. by allowing the month to become
the regular air passage that the need of
care cannot be too freqnently em
sized. Besides the injury done by the
unwarmed.air. entering the lungs the
lees responsive: It is comparatively easy
to contro] one’s breathing when awake;
but when asleep the harm goes‘on. To
remedy this involves a slight discomfort, but one can endure it patiently
looking to the end. Cutcourt plaster into little strips about one-fourth of an
inch in width and _ paste seyeral across
the lips, placing them up. and down,
with the lips held naturally.. If one is
tempted to give, up rather than endure
the discomfort this method involves, a
walk through an ordinary day coach or
a night made hideous’ by the presence
of a snorer in a néar berth will cause a
solemn vow to be taken never-to do
likewise;’* ce i

and had some little trouble in locating:
the supposed murderer, The fellow
was surprised’ when approached, bat
after due examination and inquiry it
was concluded that he’ was not the
man. The suspect resembled Moore to
a striking degree, even to deafness and
the use of an ear trupet, his habit of
reading anda constant tendency to
glance excitedly at every stranger entering a place. While in town he-spent
a good deal of time in saloons,
Moore’s whereabouts are still as much
a mystery as 6ver.”
A spiritualist niedium ofthis city
claims to have received a straight ‘tip
from thé other world to the effect that
Moore is hiding in an ‘old mining tunnel.and is sick. He will be sicker still

It has been ascertained that a brother
of Moore’s father lives in the Staté of
Nevada, it being believed he is a farmer
on the Hnmboldt river. Some months
ago he sent word to Ed by a Nevada
City man he met ona C, P. train that
he‘would like to have his nephew visit
him. The latter remarked upon getting
the message that he had no use for his

The Magic of Rome.
The story of Rome isa tale of murder and sudden death, varied, changing, never repeated in-the same way;
there is blood on every threshold; a
tragedy lies buried in every church‘and
chapel, and again we ask in -vain
wherein lies the magic of the city that
has fed on terror and grown old in
carnage, the charm that draws men to
her, the power that holds, the magic
that enthralls men soul and body, as
Lady Venus cast her spells upon Tannhauser in her mountain of old. Yet
none deny it, and as centuries roll on
the poéts, the men of letters, the musicians, the artists of all ages, have come
to her from far countries and have
dwelt here while they might, some for
long years, some for the few months
they could spare, and all of them have
a song that breathes the threefold mystery of love, eternity and death.—
“Studies From the'Chronicles of Rome, ”’
by Marion Crawford.
The Spider’s Elastic Appetite.
The spider has a tremendous appetite,
and his gormandizing defies all human
competition. A scientist who carefully
noted ‘a spider’s consumption of food in
24 hours concluded that if the spider
were built proportionately to the human
scales he would eat at daybreak (approximately) a small alligator, by 7 a.
m. a lamb, by 9 a, m. a young camelopard,.by 1.0’clock a sheep and would’
finish up with a lark pie in which there
were 120 birds) Yet, in spite of his
enormous appetite, a spider has wonderful power of refraining from food, and
one has been known to live for ten
months when absolutely deprived ' of
food. A beetle lived in a similar state
of unrefreshment for three years.—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. :
