THE CITY SMITHY.
So Spreading; Chestnut Tree, bat Pletnr-
esqne Surroundings Aot Lucking.
"Under a spreading chestnut tree the
village 6mithy stands," but the city
smithy may be found in a variety of
places. It may perhaps be in a down
town street devoted to commerce, with
the bellows resting upon a framework
overhead to save space, with the nozzle
running into the forge at the end of a
pipe and the handle to the bellows
hanging at the end of a rod or chain. It
may be a forge up on the structure of
the elevated road heating rivets in the
air, or it may be on the seventeenth
story c? some lofty steel frame building
under construction, and the coal for
this smithy may be dumped alongside of
it from a cart that has been hoisted
from the street below at the end of a
chain depending from a steam derrick.
Perhaps it is by the riverside mak
ing or mending irons for ships, or
alongside the cable road in busy Broad
way at night lighted by a flaring gaso
line torch. It may be in a movable
shanty set up where they are getting
out rock to make cellar space. Here
they sharpen drill points, the hammer
ringing on the anvil while the bouncing
steam drills close at hand are noisily
pounding down through the rock.
There maybe over it no spreading
chestnut tree, but the city smithy does
not lack picturesque surroundings, and
the oity blacksmith may easily be a
mighty man. New York Sun.

TRAINED TO HARNESS
Alaska Whale Furnishes Mo
tive Power to a Boat.
FEEST OF ITS KIND IN HISTORY
Trill Be Bitohed Up and Driven by Sea
to the Oregon Coast In Aug
list, So They Bay.
Colonel 7. W. Black, of the customs
department, at Sand Point, Pop Off
Island, situated in the Shunagin group
of islands off the Alaskan peninsula,
while in Taooma, told a story of a cap
tive whale, which, if true, proves that
the Pop Off contains a genius in the
line of animal taming.
"We," said Colonel Black, "of the
island of Pop Off have in Pirate Cove
bay trie first and only living whale
ever captured, tamed and trained,
and that will work at the will of its
master. .
''The whale, whioh we named Bui
shoy, an Aleut word for immense, was
captured in the spring of 1804, when a
calf of some eighteen or twenty months
old. It was then about fifteen or six
teen feet long and though so young and
small was possessed of considerable
strength, and I can assure you that it
took tons of patience to bring the crea
ture into subjection, small as it was.
"Bulshoy'a capture was brought
about by an aooident that cost two na-.
tivea their lives, and the total destruc
tion of two large three-hatch bidarkas.
"During the confusion attending
the capture a large female, accom
panied by its calf, made for the west
ward, and in attempting to round a
sand spit that ran out several cable
lengths from the island, it grounded,
and as it was full flood tide,- the more
efforts it made to free itself the more
firmly it became grounded. The calf,
when its mother grounded, kept swim
ming round and round its mother, and
would stirke out to sea a short distance,
returning again to its stranded parent.
"About half a mile from the sand
spit where the whale grounded is the
entrance to Pirate Cove bay, and when
the natives and the few whites came
alongside the stranded monster the pup
made a break for the cove and passed
into the bay, the entrance to whioh Is
not over 100 feet wide, though it is full
twenty fathoms deep. John C Whiley,
the storekeeper at the island, stretohed
across the mouth of the cove a strong
wire net. We had lots of sport chasing
the calf, which could not get out.
"To celebrate the Fourth of July,
Whiley and his native servant, Efteha,
made an attempt to feed it and were
suooessfuL Whiley rigged up a walrus
bladder to whioh was attached six or
seven feet of rubber tube. About one
half a gollon of cow's milk was put in
the bottle, and Whiley and Efteha put
it in the bidarka and paddled alongside
the pup, whioh by this time would
allow them to oome alongside him with
bidarkas. After several hours of pa
tient coaxing, the Indian succeeded in
getting Bulshoy to drink from .the rub
ber tube. When the bidarka turned for
the shore Bulshoy followed close .be
hind It---. . , . r-.r"-T .
"For the next six weeks Whiley and
the Indian fed the pup- twioe every
day. The pup would stick his cunning
head out of the water, close to the land
ing, and look for his nurses long before
feeding time. It was not until the fol
lowing spring that the actual training
of Bulshoy began to take any definite
form.
"Whiley one day said, 'I am going
to train that pup so that I can drive
him to Oonga or San Francisco. ' The
rest of us laughed at such a crazy idea,
but Whiley stuck to his notion.
"While the process of taming was
goinz on, Whiley bad taken the pup's
measure for a set of harness, and both
he and his native spent the nights for
several weeks in making it The cli
max was reaohed on Friday, September
30, when for the first time, probably in
tho history of the world, a 4-year-old
twenty-five foot whale was successfully
put in harness. When Whiley and
Efteha, after putting on his harness
started for the shore, Bulshoy as usual
started the bidarka. and in doing so,
made the discovery that everything
was not as it should be, and then he
reared and plunged around at a lively
rate, lashing the quiet water of the bay
into foam in his efforts to free himself
of the offending harness. But the har
ness was well and strongly made, and
there was no shake off to it Bulshoy
kept up his antics for two whole days,
and for the first time since the episode
of the battle, next morning he refused
to oome at the call of either Whiley or
the Aleut . Hunger, however, soon
brought ihm to his senses, and on the
morning of the third day, as the native
was out on the bay in his bidarka,
Bulshoy came meekly alongside and
seemed to beg 'for his muoh delayed
breakfast, which was given him.
' "From that day Bulshoy made no
"more trouble, and Whiley could pull
the guy ropes attached to his harness
as hard as be could without causing
the pup to dive.
The novel outfit is expected to be off
the Oregon coast between August 5 and
10, as the party would not leave Kar
luk before July 20, and they will oome
south in short and easy stages.
" 'What are we going to do with
him?' - That will depend on oircunv
stances, but it Is our intention on our
way south to stop for a day or so at all
the varous summer resorts along the
Oregon and California coast, and I
have no fear but what we will be able
to use Bulshoy's wonderful power to
make a barrel of money. ' Who knows
but what, . Colonel Sellers-like, 'there
may be millions in it," for if one
whale can bo tamed so can others. The
Toyage will be the first of its kind
since the creation of the world. -"
"I am having made in Seattle a
strong but light boat and will take it
to the cape on the pilot schooner and
then we will discard our heavy whale
boat, when we will be able to make
muoh faster speed without endangering
the young whale, for the load he has
got to bring down from the north is
really too muoh for him.

UNPRECEDENTED RUN.
Hon Salmon Than the town River
Canneries Can Handle.
Astoria; Or., Aug. 8. The receipts
of salmon at the various lower- river
oanneries . continue unusually heavy
and are far in excess of the capacity of
several of the packing establishments.
Today the fish were so" plentiful that
one of Kinney's men delivered nearly
100, and near Sand Island it was re
ported that the water was almost alive
with large ohinooks. ' Many were re
ported to have been taken with gaff
hooks by some of the men who found
themselves in the midst of a great
school of fish. . At one or two can
neries, where too many fish were re
ceived, the loss is heavy. - Tons of the
fish are being thrown overboard at
Kinney's on account of the lack of
means to preserve them until they oould
be canned. As many as possible have
been salted for the winter use by the
citizens in the west end of town, and
were freely given to all who would
oarry them away.
Fishermen assert that never sinoe the
canning industry began has such a run
been seen. If It continues until the
olose of the season, the chances are fa
vorable for a muoh larger pack than
had been anticipated. An unusual
feature of the sltuaton is the quality of
the fish, which is fully equal to those
taken in June, the flesh being excep
tionally red and firm and the quality
of oil abundant -

THROWN INTO A CISTERN.
Texas Kan Slays His Family and Dls-
poses of Their Bodies.
, Austin, Tex., Aug. 8. T. E. Bart,
a member of one of the most respect
able families, murdered his wife and
two children, aged 9 and 4 years, last
Friday night, and placed the dead
bodies in a cistern. He left the oity
Saturday night following the terrible
deed, after advising several neighbors
not to drink the water in his cistern,
as it was polluted. His relatives be
came alarmed at the disappearance of
his family, and began an investigation,
resulting in the finding of the bodies
today. Burt bound his wife in a
blanket, after tying her feet and neck
together, and then dropped the body
into the cistern. Both ohildren had
their brains knocked out' His brothers
have offered a reward of $300 for his
apprehension.
Burt was at one time a prominent
furniture dealer in this oity, but gam
bling got the best of him, and last year
he failed and was indicted for embez
zlement, but his brothers succeeded in
getting him out of the trouble. The
governor has offered a reward for his
arrest .Nothing is known as to Burt's
whereabouts,, although telegrams have
been sent all over the state and to out
side cities. No motive for the crime is
known.
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Grass Valley Buffered a Saver, loss
From the Flames.
Grass Valley, CaL, Aug. 8. At 8:30
o'clock tonight, an alarm of fire was
sounded for a blaze in the opera house.
The fire started under a store occupied
by Ismert and Webbe, and spread with
great rapidity. Soon the whole build
ing was enveloped in flames, and the
adjoining buildings oommenoed to burn
and, despite the work of the firemen, it
looked as though the whole center por
tion of the town would be destroyed.
The Are department of Nevada City
came over to assist the local depart
ment, but a scarcity of water hindered
them so they were of little service un
til an extra head of water was. turned
in to the supply ditch. The two de
partments did great work and oonfined
the fire to the block bounded by Neal,
Church, Auburn and Bank streets.
The loss will exoeed f 100,000, it is
thought Insuranoe in most oases is
small, and the blow is a hard one to
the city.

-, New York, Aug. 8. Bradstreet's
weekly review of trade says: - Political
uncertainty continues to have an unfa
vorable effect on trade, and industrial
and mercantile lines are unusually
dull. Mercantile credits are closely
scanned, and in many oases shortened.
The insdustrial situation is less favor
able. Among manufacturers of iron
and steel it is regarded aa serious in
some lines, owing to the surprising
falling off in the demand. The reduc
tion of pig iron is further ourtailed.yet
stocks increase. The outlook is for a
further decline in iron and steel prices.
Chicago offers concessions on pig to
bring bids for round lots. Curtailments
of products in cotton fabrics continues,
yet fall purchasers in prints are of
small volume. The demand for boots
and shoes is also smaller. . '
Exports of wheat flour included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States for last week amount to 2,484,

The total number of business fail
ures in the United States this week is
394, as compared with 280 last week.
The increase, as contrasted with the

almost instantly killeJ in the corridor
of the courthouse shortly before 6
o'olock this evening. The shot was
fired by Henry Seiffert, a restaurant
proprietor and sporting man, who is

The tragedy resulted from remarks
made by Plattor in court, and whioh
Seiffert oonstrued as a reflection upon
his character. Seiffert was being
pressed before the oourt as adminis
trator of the estate of Budolph Gorkow,
a rich brewer, who died here this
week. Gorkow had marired a variety
actress about a year ago, and the mar
riage war an unhappy one. He brought
suit for divorce shortly before his
death, and in his will cut his wife off
with a dollar. She is contesting the
will, and there is a struggle over the
administration of the estate. Plattor
represented some of the beneficiaries of
the will, opposing Seiffert It .had
been insinuated that Seiffert 'a relations
with Mrs. Gorkow were not of a prop

CHURCHES OF GRANADA.
At Once Magnificent and Beggarly,
Solemn and Gay. -
It was In its churches that I thought
Granada at once most magnificent and
beggarly, . most solemn and gay. I
know nothing In France or Italy to
compare with the effect of the cathe
dral when the sun-eteeped streets were
left, the leather curtain was lifted,
and we were suddenly In darkness
In far shadows, vague, motionless fig
ures, prostrate before It Their silent
fervor In the strange, scented dusk gave
a clue to the ecstasy of a Theresa, of
an Ignatius. But It was well to turn
back quickly into matter-of-fact day
light; To linger was to be reminded
that mystery has Its price, solemnity
its tawdriness. In cathedral and pa
pilla real If we ventured to look at
the royal tombs, at the grille which
even In Spain is without equal at the
retablos with their wealth of orna
ment, one sacristan after another kept
close at our heels, Impudently expect
ant1 v
If In unknown little church our eyes
grew accustomed to darkness, It was
that they might be offended with Vir
gins gleaming In silks and jewels, with'
Chrlsts clothed in petticoats. And if
we did once visit the Cartuja, it satis
fied our curiosity where other show
churches were concerned. The word
Cartuja hung upon the lips of every
visitor at the Hotel Roma. Foreign
ers wrestled hopelessly with It Span--lards
repeatea It tenderly, as If In love
with Its gasping gutturals. We never
sat down to a meat that some one did
not urge Us to the enjoyment of Its
wonders. At last, In self-defense, - we
went The Cartnja's architecture struck
us as elaborate, Its decoration as aban
doned as the gush that had sent us to
it It had not even the amusing gaiety
of Bohemia's rococo, but was preten
tious and florid in a dull, vulgar way,
more in keeping with gilded cafe or
popular resturant But to this visit
my record owes a-place, since It was
our one concession to the guide-book's
commands. It pleased us better to
forget the exaggerated, tortured flam

churches the names of which we never

A Bold Brieand. .
Franz Csonka, a famous 74-year-old
brigand, was hanged recently for mur
der at Essegg, In Slavonla. He smoked
his pipe to the gallows, slapped the
hangman on the shoulder and said to
him: "Do your job well; don't make a
fool of yourself." He was the most
fearless of the band of Rosza Sandor,
with whom he committed many rob
beries and murders in the Bakonyer
forests. They were captured with dif
ficulty twenty-five years ago, when
Csonka declared he would confess to
murders only, the rest being merely
child's play. He was sentenced to
twenty years' imprisonment from
which he was released a year ago, but
soon after committed an unusually
atrocious murder, ' for which he was
executed. Rosza Sandor was sentenced
to imprisonment for life, and died In
jail ten years ago. In Hungary he was
never looked upon as a common crim
inal, but rather as a hero of romance.
He was a handsome man, the best
horseman In Hungary, and a great fav
orite with the women.. Kossuth ap
pointed him leader of a corps of volun
teers in 1S49. . His father was a brig

' -he scenes in Vienna were brilliant

where Berthier was absolved from all
the ceremonies considered obligatory
upon one of his rank in the Hofburg.
Three days later the new Empress
was handed to her traveling carriage
by the Archduke Charles, and -amid
salvos of - artillery, which - scarcely
drowned the cheers of the populace,
she Bet forth. Her journey through
Bavaria and Wurtemberg was one long
ovation, for these countries believed
their welfare to be bound up with
that of France. On the 26th her cor

Spanish Blotting; Paper. -An
English exchange says "that In
Spain there are many manufactories
of pasteboard, blotting and packing
paper, and these goods are exported to
the Spanish colonies In large quanti
ties." Tbe blotting paper is so poor,
however, that the greatest care must
be exercised to prevent it from literally
becoming "blotting" paper. If the na
tive article were not so very cheap,
American blotting paper might be sent
there; but Spaniards are very econom
ical, and as a rule regard price rather
than quality.

remedies, and by constantly failing to cure witn
local treatment, pronounced It iiicnrab'.e.

Gladness Comes
ith a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts plesantenorts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of tbe system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt'
ly removes. That is why it is the orHy
remedy with millions of families, and M
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when yon pur
chase, that yon have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere,. Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
ked and gives most general satisfaction.
