BT HARRT B. SMITH.
PAN FRAN9CI3CO. June 28. (Special.)
Few cases that have been tried in Cali
fornia have reached the magnitude In in
terest that haa been attained by the Cal
houn trial, on a charge of bribery, that
xvas ended the first of the week by the
dismissal of the Jury, which stood ten for
acquittal, and two for conviction and
roulil not SKree. While It has been the
general opinion for weeks past that the
jury would fail to agree, this did not
lessen the feeling In any degree. San
Francisco seemed divided Into two camps.
The general public was either for or
against the prosecution with no middle
ground.
Some surprise haa been expressed that
In view of the J50.000 that has been ex
pended by the county In the trial of the
case Judge Law lor dismissed the Jury
before It had been discussing the case for
24 hours, Early Rogers, one of Calhoun's
counsel, remarked in the courtroom that
had the Jury been ten for conviction, the
Judge would not have discharged It as
promptly as he did.
This is not believed by thinking men,
however. Evidently the Jurors were set
tled la their convictions. The ten were
fully satisfied of the innocence of Cal
houn and the other two, both Germans,
were evidently convinced, beyond any
chance of changing their minds, that the
railroad president was guilty. The Jurors
had already suffered no little loss of
their business affairs as a result of the
close confinement to which they had
been subjected and were appreciative
when Judge Lawlor told them they could
To.
Politics Now for Heney.
Even though there was not a vote of
acquittal, it is regarded as a victory for
the defense, because of the way the Jury
atood. It Is hardly probable that the
case will be up for retrial, at least for
some months. Judge Lawlor has stated
that the case Is on the calendar as If It
had never been tried. Mr. Heney, how
ever, will desire to devote all of his at
tention to his candidacy for the District
.Attorneyship of San Francisco and will
welcome a rest.
If Mr. Heney Is elected, it is possible
that he will force the case to a second
trial. If he loses in the political cam
paign, nothing more will be heard of the
Oalhotin case. Among all classes, how
ever, it is believed that the disagree
ment haa lessened the chances of the
prosecution to such an extent that Cal
houn ia practically Immune from a con
viction. Ethel Barrymore's Denial.
The publication of a story a few days
KO in a San Francisco morning paper
to the effect that Ethel Barrymore was
about to desert Charles Frohman and
become one of the Shubert stars has
brought about a vigorous denial from
the actress in question. The story was
played up as a first page sensation. It
was declared tha the representative of
the Frohman interests and also the lady's
husband saw to it that the actress could
not be seen for an interview. It was
this exelustveness that raised the suspi
cion that she might be of a mind to
jump her contract. In a general letter
to the newspapers, however, Miss Barry
more quiets these fears. She says:
"The report that I am contemplating
leaving the management of Charles
Frohman for that of Messrs. Shu
bert Is absolutely false. I am proud
of being under Mr. Frohman's man
ngement and would rather remain
In the sen-ice of that manager,
even in the chorus, than to receive the
r 'chest honors possible under the direc
f.'oi of ar.y other man or firm in the
itfir'CTi business. In view of the pub
lication' cfi malicious and ridiculous
I ajjo- 2 would esteem It a . great favor
P ynu would Give my unqualliled denial
t widest poacioio circulation."
TP to KJ.itx&ts. Attractions.
Vro of tile Bhuixr attractions, cr
rtfii.ir iwo attractions that play Shubert
.t, hv bA in opposlion for a
pas nnd -will wind up in 8an Fran
cos this w-eek. One Is "The Blue
iouw." a Sshnbert attraction with Shu
r atars in the oast, and the other-Is
Hr-v Flake, who plays under the man
renoent of Mr. Fiske. Mrs. Fiske has
n iMiderstnndlnir with the Shuberts by
which she can play their houses or other
independent houses if she desires. In
seme manner she was booked into San
Francisco for the same period as "The
Blue Mouse." and they say that she has
been getting the worst of the deal so far
drawing capacity is concerned.
Mrs. Fiske is playing at the Valencia,
a house that was bullty by Mr. Green,
the local bllboard advertising man, and
which has been used as the home of a
stock company. The Valencia, in the
vlang of the profession, has had a hoo
iliio hanging over it ever since it was
first opened. It is a handsomely equipped
theater, but to tell the truth is too far
out. It Is on Valencia street, near Four
teenth, too far away from the business
center of San Francisco and not close
enough to the Mission.
"The Blue Mouse" has been playing at
The American to packed houses." It is
a farce, pure and simple, but the the
atrical critics give it the highest praise
"The Blue Mouse" is a bit risque, which
doubtless lends interest, but it Is far
subdued from the German version, say
the actors who have seen the original
production.
San Francisco is the only citv in Cali
fornia where the Shubert's have a the
ater at present and consequently the only
place where "The Blue Mouse" will be
shown. From here the company goes
to Seattle, and then to Portland, which
win about wind It up on the Pacific
Coast.
Rushing Tea Into Country.
Fear of the enactment of a heavy
tariff on tea is causing huge importa
tions of that article. A cable has been
sent to the steamship Asia, due here
July 1. to "cut out" Honolulu and come
direct to San Francisco from Yoko
hama. The cable added that the Asia
was not to waste any time in making
this port, either. Three thousand five
hundred tons of tea are expected to ar
rive within the next few weeks.
The tea importers are still guessing
about the tea tariff, but in the midst
of their speculations thev are not tak
ing any chances of having to meet a
tax. While the tinkering of the tariff
Is still In progress they are cabling cor
respondents in the Orient to hurry up
Hi! the tea that can be secured and get
It within the I'nlted States as soon as
possible. Nearly all the available space
in steamers headed this way has been
engnsod for tea shipments. The Man
churia, which arrived a few davs ago
had on board 1200 tons of tea The
Chlyo Maru has a cargo of 1300 tons.
Is Mrs. lialilwin Engaged?
l.os Angeles society has been given
at leat-t a momentary sensation bv a re
port circulated that Dr. Elbert Landome
faddist, child cutturlst and otherwise
known to fame. Is engaged to marry Mrs
Ullian Bennett Baldwin, widow of the
late VS. J. (Lucky) Baldwin. There were
persistent statements from friends of the
couple that the forma! announcement of
the engagement would be made within a
few days. Dr. Landome and Mrs. Bald
win were foimd together by a newspaper
man at a musical tea and each briefly de
nied the engagement. They were ap
parently not surprised at the report,
however, and both were wreathed in
pleasant smiles at the suggestion of their
romance.
That the business of fruit-raising in
California la on the Increase Is best
Illustrated by recent railroad news. It
was given out this week that the South
ern Pacific and other Harrlman lines on
this Coast, their adjunct, the Pacific
Fruit Express Company, the Western Pa
cific Railroad Company. Santa Fe and
Harrlman's Pacific Electric Railway in
Southern California have ordered for Im
mediate delivery 7361 freight and pas
senger cars and locomotives at an aggre
gate cost of J10,961,SO0.
The Southern Pacific officials rtate that
business is improving to such an extent
that the Harrlman lines need more roll
ing stock. Included in the order are 3000
boxcars, 55 steel passenger coaches, 38
steel baggage cars, 10 steel postal cars, 10
diners and seven observation coaches.
The order also Includes 30 consolidated
freight engines, 20 passenger locomotives
and 10 switch engines. Steel coaches cost
J15.O00 each, while the cost of freight loco
motives is J18.600 apiece. The seven new
observation coaches cost J16.600 apiece and
the passenger locomotives JH.OOO each.
Mr. Harrlman also sees the need of
1D00 more refrigerator cars. There are
6000 of them in use at the present time.
"When It is called to mind that the Santa
Fe has 5000 or 6000 refrigerator ' cars of
Its own, the size of the green and oitrus
fruit business In California can be read
ily appreciated.
The Western Pacific Is being rapidly
completed as a new overland line, an ex
tension of the Gould system from Salt
Lake to this city. As it will be ready for
operation probably in September, the of
ficials want to have on hand a lot of
new equipment.
Mint Makes Money.
The annual housecleaning of the San
Francisc mint has proved a valuable as
set to the Government. Thus far the
walls have produced eight ounces of gold,
which was swept off the plastering. The
ratings on the inside of the widows were
cleaned by the removal of 20 ounces.
The carpets of the adjusters' -room in
which the women worked, netted 60
ounces of gold and another one in pro
cess of renovation, is expected to give up
as much more.
A surprise was in the cleaning of a sil
ver tube that passed from one room to an
other. It had not been used for a year,
but, upon being scraped, quite a quan
tity of silver was recovered. The work
men are going over every spot on the
walls and floors with a suction sweeper
and the dust collected will be subjected
,to the refining process.
The largest results are expected when
the cruiclbles are crushed and the gold
taken from them. It is expected that
about 15,000 ounces will be taken from the
Inside of the mint and from the tools,
retorts and crucibles.
Two Big Palms Moved.
An especially, difficult feat of land
scape gardening that has taken the time
of six men working for two weeks has
been completed this week, when the 30
foot palm that stood on the H. B. Hunt
ington grounds at California and Tavlor
streets were finally loaded on freight
cars .to be transported to the South. The
palms are destined for Mr. Huntington's
new place, Los Roblea, Just outside of
Tramping Across the Cascades
For a Summer's Outing, There Is No Country to Equal It.
BY B. A. CHILD ERS.
If one wishes to enjoy an outing last
ing three or four weeks, there is nothing
to excel a trip across the Cascades. Any
one of four routes may be selected. The
Barlow Road, leading out from Portland
and crossing the summit within 10 miles
of Mt. Hood's snow-capped peak, will af
ford the despondent dyspeptic all the ex
ercise needed to give him an appetite, in
sistent and insatiable. By the time he
reaches the bunchgrass country he will
be able to enjoy a meal composed entirely
of bacon and beans, topped off with a
cup of black coffee.
I have crossed the Cascades 12 times,
the first trip being made in 1S69, over
the Barlow Road. At that date that road
was something fearful. Laurel Hill was
a holy terror then and all travelers
dreaded it, from hearsay or experience.
My dread was produced by stories told
by others who had gone over that fa
mous hill an.d the pictures I drew of Its
difficulties were verified by experience,
with slight variations.
.
On the 12th of May, 1S69, three of us,
all young fellows and full of vim, agreed
to drive a band of 1000 sheep to Boise,
for a man named De Young. We had no
shepherd dog, and it is left to the read
er's imagination to picture the trouble
we had with those sheep.
Sheep are the most obtuse animals that
ever happened. I am thoroughly con
vinced from personal experience, that
their heads are solid bone. I am fully
satisfied that there was not an ounce of
brains in that whole aggregation of
cussedness. If the leader jumped at the
fluttering of a leaf, every sheep, when it
reached the spot, promptly sprang into
the air.
On one occasion this Jumping procliv
ity led to dire .results. We were fording
a stream there were but few bridges In
those days when, towards the tail-end

all the tall-end foHowed, until between

us three hours-J.o fish them out, and only
were arownea at that. I never fully
realized the significance of the line, "We
all like sheep have gone aBtray," until
after that episode.
Talk about "the blind leading the
blind." It is not in it with a lot of idiotic
sheep that will not see. Their motto
seems to be: "Whithersoever thou goest
I will go," and they live up to their reli
gion, too. That is more than can be said
of some men.
Our troubles had been many, but the
culmination was reached at Laurel Hill.
There everything combined to make life
one continuous howl of misery. The
"pack," which weighed 300 pounds,
turned nine times before we reached the
summit. The last time we cinched it
we squeezed the horse's stomach so tight
against his spine that we made a hump
in his back like a camel's. The old man
afterwards sold him to a tenderfoot, who
thought he was buying a new variety of
dromedary.
Whenever the pack turned, the sheep,
true to their instinctive-cussedness, scat
tered. By the time we had them straight
ened out again the pack was under the
horse. And so it went for three long
hours. I never realized until then the
limitations of the English language in
regard to cuss-words. I felt the need
of an unabridged dictionary composed
entirely of expletives. What made it
more strenuous for me was having to
swear for Walker Hlnton as well as my
self. Walker was inclined to be pious,
but whenever I blew off an extra torrent
of cuss-words he always took off his hat
and made faces. I could see a look of
relief steal over his face like a. full-fed
baby after nursing time.
The sheep part of this sketch is purely
a digression, but it haa been pestering ma
for 40 years, and if I do not get rid of It
now I am doomed to carry it to the far
end of life's rugged road. and. perhans
take It across the Laurel Hill of eternity
San Gabriel in the southern part of the
state.
Fairly large palms have been moved
before, but none so large as these. Mr.
Huntington, who is determined to have
on hie place the finest collection of palms
and plants In America, valued these two
particularly because thev had lived
through the fire. At that time they were
burned to stumps and the new foliage
has come out In the last three years.
?v. ty..Were Plantd 20 years ago and at
that time cost Mr. Huntington J100 apiece,
ihey must now be worth S300 each and
the cost of transplanting them will equal
their value. Each palm, when boxed,
roots, earth and all, weighed ten tons.
Last Week of Slot Machines.
The town is slot machine mad. At the
end of this month this form of gambling
ceases in San Francisco, so thousands are
taking their- fling at the fascinating game.
There are 6000 of these machines. This
is known from the. tax collector's records.
Many are In places that keep open all
night, while most of them are in stores
or stands which keep open from 12 to 14
hours. Several of the shrewdest gam
blers in the city have been making a
close study of the form of gambling. In
their opinion, never" In its history has
San Francisco seen gambling on such a
large scale is going on with the nickel-ln-the-slot
machines. Hundreds of the
cigar stands today make no pretense of
selling cigars. They do not have any
time for it.
The gamblers In question say it is a
reasonable estimate that $160,000 in nick
els are passing through the machines
daily. This means $10,800,000 for the
month of June. They base the calcula
tion on observations to the 'effect that
20 men on an average play each machine
daily and that each one will average $3.
What will ' happen when July 1 rolls
around and the ordinance enacted by the
Supervisors becomes a law is hard to say.
A large number of the stands will go out
of business. The others will be forced to
cut down their force of clerks and work
for smaller profits. San Francisco has
been known to the trade as the biggest
consumer of high-priced cigars in the
United States. But with the machines
out of commission, the cigar merchants
will be looking for a cheaper brand of
goods.
Janzl Rigo. the gypsy violinist, who
came to San Francisco uncfer contract to
Techau Tavern, a local restaurant soon
to open, is having a remarkably good
time at the expense of that institution.
In fact he is much of an incubus on the
bands of the tavern people. They have
him on their hands and don't know what
to do with him. They can't get their res
taurant finished for the opening before
July 1, and here are Rigo, his wife and
his band, and their salary began to run
the middle of May. That means about
seven weeks of idleness and the contract
calls for $600 a week $4200 for nothing.
The tavern people wanted to farm out the
gypsy to Los Angeles and get back part
of their outlay, but he wouldn't stand for
It, Insisting that his contract was to play
in San Francisco and not in the Southern
city.
with me. This I am unwilling to do, as
I shall be encumbered with enough
things without a lot of bally sheep bleat
ing in my ears and distracting my atten
tion from more serious business.
My second trip across the Cascades was
made in 1873, over the military road, lead
ing out from Eugene City. This road
traverses some of the most picturesque
mountain regions of Oregon. It passes
close fo Diamond Peak, where the eter
nal snows reign in all their pristine
beauty. Occasional glimpses of the Three
Sisters are had, and, far to the south.
Mount Shasta, snow-crowned and majes
tic, lifts her crest into the realms of
eternal snow.
Three of us left Eugene on July S, de
termined on having a good time, and
incidentally, exploring the Deschutes and
Bear Creek countries. We were building
air castles filled with sheep, and were
looking for a location suitable for the
business.
We had a 4-year-old mule, 'wild as the
wild deer and untamed," which we
packed. Owing to some peculiar sinuosity
of that mule's mental makeup, a pack
did not strike him as a desirable acqui
sition, and he promptly proceeded to scat
ter Irs contents over about 10 acres o
vacant land. We repacked and- he re
bucked, until we reached Butte Disap
pointment, where I decided to change
places with the pack., I knew it would
take less time to collect me than our
scattered outfit, and I had It in for that
mule, anyway.
Througn pympathy for the reader, and
to. preserve a semblance of veracity I
shall draw a veil over the subsequent ant
ics of that mule. It may be well to say
however, that a change of loads did not
lessen his bucking proclivities. Wben I
was not getting "on" to him, I was get
ting "off," and always in an undignified
position. I really believe that mule knew
more different ways to buck than the
man -who Invented the art, and he had
less regard for a man's feelings than a
Summer girl at a seaside resort- Sev
eral times he had me imbued with the
impression that I was a bird, but trie
Illusion always vanished when I hit the
ground. And yet. in a way, I have al
ways likei that mule. He certainly had
the courage of his convictions, and If
being shown was any criterion to 'his
nativity, ne was from Missouri.
Near Butte Disappointment is a shaft
of solid rock. 300 feet high. Its base Is
about 25 feet, with a gradual swell to
the height of oO feet, where it has a di

this . point It tapers rapidly, ending

We reached Rtedon's. the last house in
the mountains, about 3 o'clock in the af
ternoon. It was nine miles to the Beaver
Dam Camp, and we decided to press on
to that point. We were told of an im
mense cougar that lurked along the road
and caught full-grown cattle. They
warned us of the danger to be met in go
ing through the dense timber so late in
the day, but we scoffed at their warn
ing and rode on unafraid.
About three miles from Rlgdon's the
unexpected happened. The road ran
through a forest of towering firs, so dense
that it was dusky at 4 o'clock in the af
ternoon. I was bringing up the rear
mule-fashion, when I heard a terrific
crashing on the left, behind me. I turned
my head, thinking a deer had been feed
ing which did not see ns until we passed.
I was horrified to see a cougar as big
as a horse, coming straight for me The
boys both had guns, while I had only a
revolver and a wild mule. I drew the re
volver, determined to take a shot at the
animal as it made the last leap. Then I
knew it would be up to the mule, the
cougar and me.
I never took my eyes off that brute, as
he came at me with the fury of heli in
his eyes, but I kept saying. "Shoot,
boys! Shoot! Shoot!" Not a shot broke
the stillness, and I oould not turn my
head to see what my companions were
doing. I was too busy.
The last spring the animal made he
landed within 10 feet of me, then whirled

suddenly and sprang for the dog. that
had stopped, petrified, about 30 yards be
hind me. I shuddered to think what
would have happened to that cougar If
he had l ot changed his course. I should
have certainly landed on him In beauti
ful shape. I had fully made up my mind i
to fill him full of lead, although I no
ticed afterward that I had forgotten to
cock my revolver.
"" The Instant the cougar turned I sprang
from the mule and ran to the nearest
man for his gun. He was sitting there,
a frozen . picture of horror, his face
whiter than it will be in death. The
other man was in the same condition.
Both were paralyzed with fright.
Seielng the gun, I started after the
dog and cougar, who were having the
race of their lives. The dog was, any
way. For one hundred yards the cougar
would be up in the air over the dog, but
before he could get down the dog would
be gone. . And, yeU! Lord! I never
heard a dog make so much noise in my
life.
Finally the big cat gave it up, and be
fore I could shoot, sprang into the tim
ber and disappeared. I tried to get the
dog to chase him, but; like myself, he
had lost no panther of that size.

PARIS, June 26. (Special.) Two broth

who had forgotten all about this little
fraud, got married himself, and when
told that he was married already was
surprised Into a confession.
