Relief For Boer Families. Paris, March 17—Henri Rochefort, editor of the Instransigeant, who has announced that he will organize a lottery for the relief of Boer women and children, aims to raise 250,000,000 francs, of which amount 7,000,000 francs will be given as prizes, 8,000,000 francs as rebates to subscribers and the remainder to the Boers. He will seek authorization to promote a lottery from the parliaments of France, Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Spain, Sweden Italy and the United States. Obeyed Orders. One of the officials of the road had invited a party of gentlemen to take a little pleasure excursion over a part of the line on his private car. Before the appointed day he was taken sick and called in his chef and commissary. “Eph,” he said, “I have asked these friends and can neither go with them nor disappoiut them. I want you to give them the best there is in the larder and see that it is ser-od as well as it would be at the best hotel in the world.” X#=ph scratched his head and looked troubled, but simply said, “Yes, sah.” On the return several of the gentlemen. congratulated the official. upon having such a “man,” and one or two intimated that if Eph ever wanted another position he would have no trouble in securing it. Finally Eph reported. “It wa’ a great outin, sah,” he assured his employer. “Yas, sah; dat’s right, sah; a stupendificious outin, sah. De gem’men all done me proud, and I tells ’em it wa’ you, sah.” Then Eph showed the bill, and_it was a stunner for length and amount. He stood hat in hand until the official said: “Pretty steep, Eph; pretty steep. Nothing left out and nothing but the best.” “Dat’s right, sah. I was fusticated mos’ to deaf, sah, but I jes’ says to myself, sah, dat dey was no greater epicac in de lan dan you is, and I bought and cooked and served, sah, jes’ like it wa’ you.”—Detroit Free Press. The Smothering Scene, As to stage appointments, there were no plush or velvet curtains or couches draped with satin in early days. The furniture was as unpretentious as the costumes. Indeed on one occasion when a lady was playing Desdemona to her husband’s Othello a disastrous and at the same time ludicrous effect, though of course unreheareed, had been imminent through the lack of even a nail or two to make an old stool steady. It was the smothering scene, and the couch was made up of two chairs and a rickety stool covered, of course, with the simplest draperies—a red merino curtain trimmed with yellow worsted fringe. Imagine a Desdemona endeayoring to recline gracefully, all the while feeling portions of her couch sliding from under her. This is how the scene was played out: Desdemona—Kill me tomorrow; let me live tonight. (I’m falling, dear!) Othello—Nay, if you strive— (Keep quite still.) Desdemona—But half an hour. (Oh, hold me!) Othello—Being done, there is no pause. (I'll push the stool under.) Desdemona—But while I say a prayer. (Do be quick, Robert, it is slipping.) Othello—It is too late! Which, indeed, it was, for the bed collapsed, and Desdemona’s body lay upon the floor, her head upon the sole chair, which stuck to its post faithful ly.—Gentleman’s Magazine. ae Church Fairs Interested. They are talking about the PanAmerican Exposition at Buffalo even at the church fairs in distant portions of the United States. A Methodist church in Anderson, Ind., held a fair recently and advertised a long list of Midway attractions, purporting to have been secured in advance from the great Midway of the Pan-American Exposition. It made the following anncunce ment: : ; “The K. G. BK. Buffalo club has been organized for the purpose of running a through train (first class) to the PanAmerican Exposition in October, 1901. The club has been authorized by the Pan-American Exposition to do special advertising for the Exposition in this locality and has secured’ some of their finest advertising matter. Don’t fail tc see our fine display of Pan-American advertising.” Every progressive agriculturist will want to see the Pan-American xposition in Buffalo next summer. The opportunity to. get uew and valuable ideas of farming is one that no tiller of the soil can well afford to miss. The display in the Department of Agriculture. will surpass any ever seen at any previous exposition. Mines and mining will be represented at the Pan-American Exposition in a manner intended to illustrate the importance and great progress of this industry. Modern improvements in metallurgy and the science of mining have advanced so rapidly and have attained such proportions that the task is not ae vasy one. . THR BIG TREES SAVED. [Snowing in W. Mills Appointed One of the Commissioners, The Sempervirens Olub and friends of the big trees at large are rejoicing that their suspense is over and the giant redwoods of the Big Basin are saved from the shrieking saw of the lumber mill. Saturdey afternoon Governor Gagg signed the bill which provides for a State appropriation of $250,000 to be paid in five annual installments for 2500 aores in the Big Basin on which the largest trees in the world are said to stand. The tract of land specified is claimed to be the key of this great crater and the ambitions of the members of the Sempervirens Club is to add tothis nucleus by private subscription from time to time until the entire forest is a magnificent State Forest. The Commission provided for in the bill to complete the purchase and to act as forest goardians has been named by the Governor in the persons of Regent A. W. Foster of the State University, Father Kenna, president of the Santa Olara College, Willian H. Mills and William Russell Dudley, professor of forestry cf Stanford Uuiversity. One Man and T wo Women. Constable Long of Truckee arrived here today with two women, Ella Raymond and Emma Hicks, and a man named J. Wallace, who were granted permits to the County Hospital, All three are quite sick. Qonstable Long also brought over from Truckee W. L. Martin, who was taken to the ¢ounty jail. Mr. Martin has been sick for a long time, and lately he bas refused to take medicine pre scribed by his physician, and his mind is greatly affected. He attempted to kill his attendant, and was brought here to be examined on the charge of insanity. New Baseball Team. For several months eball playing has been practically dead this city, but from present indications it is to be revived here again. A number of the young men who are interested in this kiad of sport have organized a club to be known as the Sierra Nevadas, with John Lammon as captain.

SEE THE NEW STEEL CLOSET SEAT a Stewart Talks About Blunders. New York, March 19—Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is quoted as saying : “I regard the amendment of the HayPauncefote treaty by the United States as the worst political blunder of the times. In my opinion, that treaty was the greatest diplomatic success of the year. It is absurb to assume that the commercial wurld would be less serupulous in maintaining the neutrality of the canal in which all mankind is interested than maintaining the neutrality of the ports of a weak and helpless Nation. The blunder in amending the treaty has involved the Senate, as wellas the administration, in a diplomatic controversy with Great Britain, which has postponed the commencement of the canal for two years at least.” pork are said to ~0@eWeather Prediction.

SEE THE NEW STEEL CLOSET SEAT a Stewart Talks About Blunders. New York, March 19—Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is quoted as saying : “I regard the amendment of the HayPauncefote treaty by the United States as the worst political blunder of the times. In my opinion, that treaty was the greatest diplomatic success of the year. It is absurb to assume that the commercial wurld would be less serupulous in maintaining the neutrality of the canal in which all mankind is interested than maintaining the neutrality of the ports of a weak and helpless Nation. The blunder in amending the treaty has involved the Senate, as wellas the administration, in a diplomatic controversy with Great Britain, which has postponed the commencement of the canal for two years at least.” pork are said to ~0@eWeather Prediction.
