An exchange says: The best recipe
we can give for warm weather is as
follews: Bathe frequently, eat light,
vegetable diet, sleep during the cool
hours of night, discard pork and all
fatty meate, attend church and prayer
meeting, and pay the printers what
yon owe en subscriptions or adver
tising. By these means good health
will be assured, eternal salvation in
the next world, and a good obituary
notice in this.

paid three clerks, but when they quit
subscribing to the fund that paid
them, tho government discharged
them. But the surplus in the na
tional treasury is piling right up just
the same.

G. Fair in the Nevada bank building
in San Francisco last Friday after
noon, and told the senator he had
prepared an article reflecting greatly

000 for its suppression. The senator
did not stop to consider the proposi
tion, bnt struck tho blackmailer a
powerful blow and knocked him down

tempt to draw a revolver but the
senator resumed the attack and the
man made a hasty exit, passing
through a room in which there were
a number of clerks, who also forcibly
assisted him to the street.

A NEW INVENTION
To Send in One's Own Handwriting.
(special to the astorian.)
Washington, Aug. 4. Prof. Elisha
Gray has obtained letters patont for
an instrument called the Telauto
graph, designed for transmitting
messages by wire by sender in his
own handwriting, doing away with
skilled operators. This invention is
based on the discovery of a new prin
ciple in controlling electric current,
whereby apulsatory current is pro
duced. All previous attempts to
transmit handwring have been based
on the use of a variable current.
A FALSE ALARM.
Washington, Aug. 4. The follow

eona: "San Francisco, Aug. 4 The fol
lowing has just been received from
Gen. Miles at St. Themas: Every
thing is reported quiet at Porter's.
The firing was among the Indians and
they did not intend to disturb any
one at the sub agency.'1

DEATH OF JOHN ROBINSON.

son, the veteran showman, died this
morning aged 80. He spent almost
his whole life in the management of

A Touching Obituary.
It is strange how eager people will
run after something, no matter how
utterly destitute of a scintilla of
merit. They will buy foreign pork
and lard in preference to the home
made article, no matter how worthless
the foreign. We have an illustration
at hand that fits the question. Only
about a year ago a consumptive sheet
was started in this city. It was a
worthless disreputable sheet from the
start, but it gained quite a foothold
for a time. Its conceited editor ro
sorted to every device to keep it afloat,
but it only survived long enough 'to
become a stench to its friends. It
feasted on the carrion of spite and
vituperation, and even got down to
blackmail. It was a disgrace to
journalism. Its columns were pros
tituted by malignant abuse. It never
spoke for the interests of the east
side. Letters signed by its editor
were sent broadcast begging support
lor the sinking concern. But its
grave is so low that not a bubble will
ever come to tho surface to mark the
place of its descent Yale, garbage.

The "Kicker's Vigorous Policy.
We extract the following from the
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
"Our Policy, Heretofore as our
readers know, the Kicker has almost
entirely abstained from publicly criti?
cisiug the evils which all know to ex
ist under our noses. Wo have be
come tired and disgusted with our
selves for this lack of spunk, and
next week we will open a red-hot
campaign on
"The mayor,
"The common council,
"The fire department,
"All secret societies,
"The saloons,
"The gambling dens,
"And on various other organizations
and institutions reeking with corrup
tion. "It will bo a spicy issue. It will
make more than a ton of human hair
stand on end. It will make a thous
and hoarts thump like piledrivors.
Chicanery, deceit, hypoorisy, theft,
robbery, arson and murder will be
properly tagged off and tags pinned
to the right coattails.

neglect this golden opportunity.

An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to, be af
flicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unknown, to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet, this word covers only
tho meaning of another word used by
our roreiatners in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func
tions finding it cannot disposo of the
bile through' the-ordinary channel is
compelled to passat off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Billions Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. It3 cures nro mar

- Congressman Honk Tells A Story.
Leonidas Caesar Honk, who repre
sents -the Republican district lying
"in the Tennessee mountains," holds
his grip on its hardy mountaineers by
his story-telling stump-speeches. He
is a great rabble-rouser, but beyond
that his strong point is his clever
way of telling clever stories. The
other night he told one of his best at
the ratification meeting held by the
Republican national league of Wash
ington, to point his declaration that
it they wanted to win thoy must
work promptly and efficiently. "There
was an old darky." be said. "whoBo
master had some fine fat turkeys.
Old Unole Jake made up his mind
that he must have one of those tur
keys; and, as he told tho story, he set
to work to get it by prayer. M prayed
to the Lord,' he said, 'that he would
send me one of those turkeys. I
prayed that way morning and even
ing for a week, but still that turkey
didn't come, and I tell you my mouth
was just a watering for it. So I says
to myself I must change that prayer.
And so I prayed one evening that the
Lord would send me after that tur
keyand, brethren, thnt job was done

The Boston Boy At School.
One boy was asked to define a com
mon and proper noun. He wrete:
"William is a proper noun and
Billy is a common noun."
Another was told to write what he
had learned in physiology. He did,
thus:
"The body is composed of three
parts tho head the trunk and the
abdomen. The head contains the
brains, if you have any. The trnnk
contains the heart and lungs. The
abdomen contains the vowel a a. e, i,
