A NIGHT WITH YOUNG GYMNASTS Exercises of the Turn Verein Training School. Tiny Tots in Bloomers Whirling Tbrongrh the Air. Parents and Frlssdi Watch tha Youth ful athletes Wb.ll* They .lamp and Vault and Climb to tha Celling. A (rand spectacle wai presented last nigbt in tba gymnasium of tba New Turner ball by tbe pupils of tbe physi cal training school of the Turnverein Oermanta. The parents and frienda of tbe pupils, by invitation, gathered to witness a display of the work and meth od! of the school, and rarely those who bad never before seen euch an exhibi tion must bave been both bewildered and initrnoted by the novel exercises tbrongb whioh the pupils, young and old, were pot. Little tots "knee-high to a grasshop per," swung in mid-air on poles and rings, or climbed hand over hand to the high oeiling, while older onos performed on the horizontal bars, swung Indian clubt, marched in squares and endless figures, and went throngh all aorta of exerciaea, caliithenioa and gamee. The naileries and the floor of the big gymnasium below were lined with spec tators, tbe parents and frienda of the performers. They watched the pretty figures and evolutions with tho greatest of intereat and not a little anrprise. Prof. F. L. Jahn, the inatructor of the school, a great athlete himself, superin tended all the arrangementa and led the classes and the games. The school ia admirably equipped with modern para phernalia and the perfection in drill and discipline to which the profeasor bas t-ronght even tbe tinieat people, ia aim ply wonderioi. Rehire the exercises Mias Tesaa Kelso ■uade a short address. Sue referred to '.he fact that the Turn Verein Usrinania ha> 'reen the lira', institution to recog r xi the need ot physical training for nen und children, und then to the , d work it haa already accomplished. "Physical culture will make the world better," tbe speaker said. "It will tead to make a healthy people and happy, free from crime, independent and pros perous." Alter tne addreaa tbe little folks, boys and girls from 6' to 10 yeara old, marched in aingle file into tbeopen apace reaerved in the center for the exerciaea. The wee bits of humanity were aoon put through a series of evolutions and then went to work on the swings, ropes and poles. All tbe girla were dreased in gymna sium coatumes of navy blue with white trimmings, most of the costumes being of tbe bloomer and divided ekirt pat terns, wbile tbe boys bad suits of gray. The class was a hundred strong, and ' when all were in action the sight waa a pretty one, indeed. The exerciaea on the olimbing polei excited the wonder of all tbe spectators The little son of Fire Chief Moriarty wta the first to climb to the top and touch tbe great beam supporting the ceiligg, and tben down again he slid like a flsah, Bnt others followed, even the little girls getting near to tbe high goal; though not quite. Then came exeroiaes by tbe cissse* on tbe Whipple iaddera, and tbe game of antagoniatica by tbe boys, who atood on one leg with arms folded and bunted eaoh other nntil one or the other would toned tbe floor with tbe foot beld up, was charming fun for tha participants at well as the spectators, and the shouts and laughter of the ohildren almoat drowned tbe applause from the galleries. Tbe game of Lily of the Valley, by 32 girls, was a pretty one, followed by a dumb-bell exercise by thejolder girls. Tben came the girls on the round awing and the flying ringa and tbe game of tag the third. Misa Adelaide Hasee and Professor Jahn gave a fine exhibition of foil fenc ing, and it was noticeable tbat tbe pro fesaor cried "touch" oftener than bit fair opponent, . . Tbe wand exercise by the older boys and tbe high jumping and vanlting were pleasing to spectators and most certainly enjoyed by the boys. Tbe game of rider.ball provoked just langbter and applause. The Maypole danoe by tha girls waa the prettiest feature of the whole, per haps. The ladies' class In pretty divided skirt gymnasium coatumes of blue and white gave a fine club swing ing drill, and to close the entertainment the senior boys' class gave the single stick drill, a very intrioate and delight ful exercise. Paris Greatly Excited Over the Disclosures Follo-n-ing the Arrest of Captain Dreyfus. Tho excitement over the spy mania is still high in Paris. Tho case of Cap tain Dreyfus, who is awaiting court martial, causes extraordinary comment. It is said to be the intention of the gov ernment to insist upon the extreme pen alty of death in case he is found guilty. Thero is apparently good authority for the statement that precise particulars respecting the transport and concen tration of the Frenoh forces in tho event of mobilization after a decla ration of war wore placed in the hands of agents of the triple alli ance. The hours of the departure and running of trainß with troops on tho main railway lines and also the branch lines were set forth, togother with do tails of tho places at which stores would be procured en route. It is asserted that evon the original documents were sup plied to the intelligence department of tho triple alliance at Berlin. Another story relatos that the disap pearance of somo important paper from a pigeonhole at the war office was fre quently noticed. After diligent search th'j document would bo found in the precise place from whioh it had been abstracted. The general staff also Is said to havo been awaro that the Ger man war ofliee prided {tsclf on its ini tiation into many of the secrets of the plan of mobilization. For * long time thp French military authorities wero puzzled, but eventually succeeded in . unraveling tho mystery. It will be quite another thing to provo who has beeu guilty of these acts of high treason. —Paris Letter.

Cook, a br*her of tha Be publican who defeated Wells at the last eleotion, attempts to ortail his career. Cook has challengec'Wells to fight a duel. Weils haa retaed, and Cook, ao Wells says, haa thresened to kill him. The trouble beganwith the election. Wells got Cook a nice ii the pension offioe, but when" book's brother wae nominated againafWella for congress Cook took the etuop for his brother. Wells told Cookthat ii he persiited he would have km "bounced," but if be would returr to Washington he (Wells) wonld nt disturb him. Cook returned to Wshington. Wellsvwas overwhelmingly beaten, and in bis cha grin over hia dyfoat he repudiated the agreement witbCook, ao Cook claims, and sought to «t Cook discharged. The latter got wind of what waa going on, and benca tr* challenge, which waa conveyed by tord of mouth from Cook to Wells at tb> capitol last Monday. According 0 one version, tbe dialogue ran in thia w»y : "I want," laid Cook, "to know if you intend to gefme bounced." "I do," splied Welle with much warmth. "If yon flit me bounced, Wells," re* torted Cookwith a savage gleam in bia eye, "I'll slfbot you." "See hen. Wells, I am going to chal lenge yon t- fight a duel with swords or pistols, ant if you don't tight I'll kill you." "I fight only with gentleman," re plied Weill, sharply, and then taking the arm o a friend, walked awty. Cook left the cipitol. Wells, greatly excited, toid Speaker Crisp wlat had happened, and asked the spealer what he should do. The sieaker replied jokln.ly: "First I would get Cook's aoalp and then 1 would arm myself and watch for bim." But Wfll followed ths tdvice to the letter, md now tbe speaker is annoyed that hs has become mixed up in the tbe afair. Wells submitted charges against Cook to tbe deputy commis sioneiof Densions, and Cook was dis missed. Then Wells visited a hard wa restore and bought a navy revolver.

San Diego, Deo. 13.—1t was learned today on what is considered good author ty, that the Mexican transport Oaxaca, now in port, ii waiting here for a de cisive turn iL the Mexioo-Guatemala question witb the intention, if war seems inevitable, of taking on a cargo of ammunitiol and arms to be taken to the port of San Benito, on the Guate malan frontiir. Tbe Oaxaoa will prob ably take troops from Guaymae and Mazatlan to San Benito on tbe aame trip. Captain Alejandro Cerisole of tbe Oaxaca wou.'d not admit tbat such was the purpose of hia viait here, and reiter ated that He vessel was simply under going repairs, and tbat she would then await orders from the department of marine. lie eaid that he was disap pointed, however, in not finding every thing tbat he desired to outfit tbe ship, and this remark is taken as a confirma tion of the report concerning firearms and ammunition, as everything In the way of provisions, supplies, ooal, etc is at hand in thia port. William reason, superintending engi neer for Den Joaquin Hedo of Mazatlan, who ia in tbe city with Joaquin Redo, jr., for tbe purpose of purchaaing the ateamer Manuel Dublan, is in oharge oi tbe negotiations daring tbe temporary absence of Mr. Redo in San Franoisco. General Manager Bruce of tbe Coloniza tion company owning tbe steamer, is expected to come up from Eneenada Sunday morning, and tbe deal will then probably be closed. It is not unlikely that the DubUn is being purobased for the impending Guatemalan war, either by the Redos privately or through them by ths Mex ican goverament. It was learned today that the purpose oi Mr. Redo's visit to' San Francisco was to go over tbe esti mates for two or three veasela to be con structed for him in that port. The rea son given for this unexpected activity is that the trade along the gulf and Pacifio ooaats of Mexico ia rapidly increasing, but the rumor that the transport Oax aca is preparing to ship arms and am munition lends oolor that the Dublan and tbe new steamers will be utilized for naval and transport purposes by tbe Mexican government. Circumstantial evidence. The London "South End Mystery" to Close With the Hanging; of Read. It is many months since Loudon and all England have been aroused to such unanimous interest in a criminal trial ns that manifested in tho solution of what has been known since June last as the south end mystery. A young mar ried man in comfortable circumstances named Read has been tried for the mur der of Floronce Dennis, a young wom an with whom he had improper rela tions. Her body was found in a lone some spot, and there w»s no direct evi dence to connect Read with tho crime. It was principally hi* reckless, unsup ported denials and the extraordinary story of his depravity in many direc tions that finally resulted in his convic tion and sonteiice to death. It was proved that he was iv the neighborhood of tiie murder when he asserted ho was CO miles away. It was alsoshown that he had similar relations with several other women, and that the murdered girl was about to become the mother of his child. Nevertheless the evidence was not suifloiont to convict in an American court, and the prisoner reifflrmed his innoconco in strong lan guage before the death sentence was pro nounced upen him. He will be hanged. —London Cor. New York Sun. Kidney Tronbl Cord. I,ono Brack, Cal., Oot. 81, 1894.—D.

BEWARE OF PNEUMONIA. Health Commissioner Kdson of New Tork Tells How to Ward It Off. Although moro or loss provalent throughout the yoar, pneumonia is pe culiarly dangerous during tho opening months of winter. With the'first frosts a vory marked inoreaso takes place in tho number of oases, and during this cold, damp weather extra precautions should be taken. Pneumonia is proba bly produced Iry an earth microbe, and whan frost prevails tho soil beneath tho house is the only ground which is not frozen. Tho germ gradually works toward the warm, moist earth, and tho house really aots as a sort of flue, which forms a ready mode of egress for them. Tho proper ventilation of rooms is there foro an important factor in guarding against pneumonia, ono, howover, which is often overlooked. Laok of personal hygiene is the chief predisposing cause of the disoaso. Ir regular hours, insufficient nourishment, dyspepsia, excessive fatigue or some disease which has lowered the general tone of tho system all weaken the pow er of resisting the pnoumonia germ. When the system is run down, a sudden exposure to cold may prove fatal, while in a normal condition of body It would be thrown off. There are three periods during whioh the susceptibility topnenmonia is great est. They are early childhood—that is, up to 7 years of age, between the ages of 20 and 40 and after 60. The power of resistance against pneumonia grows much feebler after 60 years of ago, and nine-tenths of tho oases provo fatal. Cold, damp weather is favorable to the contraction of "colds" and tho sub sequent development of pneumonia, and it still exists to some extont in a modi fled form. This is tho disease with which pnoumonia most readily combines, but it. is found in combination with diph theria, typhoid fever, measles, scarlet fever and many others. Whon a severe or sudden chill has been contracted, the main thing is to act quickly, and many a serious illness can bo averted and valuable life saved hy a little intelligence coupled with promptitude. If possible, send for a doctor immediately and take ten grains of quinine and five drops of spirits of camphor in a littlo water or on a lump of sugar. These doses are for an adult. Then soak tho feet in hot water and jump into bed. Simple as these remedies are, thoy have nipped in the bud many prospective cases of pneumonia. Whilo soaking the feet the body should be warmly wrapped in a blan ket, which should bo kept on until some time after the person has entered the bed in order that froe perspiration be continued and not checked. A good thing to prevent "colds" is to wear wool next the skin. When this is not possible on account of the irritation sometimes caused, a mixture of wool and silk will generally be found satis factory. I would not reoommend ootton in any form for underwear, as it is fre quently the cause of a dangerous cold by becoming wot and keeping the tem perature of the skin below the normal. Care should be taken that the feet do not get wet, or if so tbat prompt meas ures are taken to dry them and a change of hose made. The care taken of the outside of the body must be supplemented by the same caro of the inside. A moderate diet, wholesome food, plenty of rest, regular hours, will keep the whole system in good order and enable it to throw off the germs of disease, which can only obtain a footing when debilitation af fords an entrance for the disease and a fruitful soil for its development.—Cy rus Edson in St. Louis Post-Dispatoh.

Prizes are offered by The Revue Suisse de Photographic, Geneva, for the best photograph of a falling drop of water.

Three prizes of medals will be given and three honorable mentions.

The bride was not dressed as brides nsnally are. Sho wore a plain dark dress, waa bare headed, her long black tresses hanging in an almost disheveled mass down her hack. She wore no glovos, had no nrango blossoms and carried no bride's roses in her hand. It was a simple cere mony.

I hear that Mra Parany Stevens la to marry Mr. Albert Morris Bagby. Now, nobody needs enlightenment as to Mrs. Paran Stevens, but there may be a few forlorn folks whose social en cyclopedia contains no reference to Al bert Morris Bagby. Nevertheless he is a charming chap, of whom the women always speak as "that dear little Bagby." He is a western born man of really oriental taot and finesse.

The very name of Harper is synony mous with Methodism and millions, and Miss Chamberlin is the daughter of that popular all round sport and "nature's nobloman," John Chamber lin.

Thorne, Jr. The stamp of approval of Miss Cham berlin'a beauty and cbio bears the Hall mark of such* connoisseurs as George Work, George de Forest Grant and Franois Sykes, and she is as brilliant as she is beautiful. I am requested to deny authoritative ly that Mrs. E. Berry Wall contem plates going on tho comic opera stage, or that she is even considering the offer made her by a well known impresario. To be sure, sbe is taking singing les sons and ia cultivating her voice with really fervid devotion; but, bless you, so is E. Berry himself. No, Mrs. Wall will not appear on any stage, not even tbo amateur, this year.—Cholly Knickerbocker in New York Recorder. THE MATCHMAKING QUEEN. She May Not Be Physically Strong, but Is Able to Arrange Convenient Marriages. Queen Viotoria is said to be getting increasingly feeble in her powers of lo comotion and has to be carried up stairs or the smallest rise of ground. But whatever may bo her physioal condition her mental powers are absolutely unim paired, and her capacity for work is undiminished. Sbe takes increased in terest, too, in matchmaking, and has of lato repeatedly expressed her opinion that the poorer princes of the younger branches of the royal house of Eng land ought to marry into the wealthy aristocracy of Groat Britain as Prince Adolphus of Teck has just done. This young man has certainly done a wise thing by choosing as his wife tho daughter of the Duke of Westminster, the richest peer in England. Few peo ple outside the two families and the lawyers are likely to possess trustworthy informationsrespecting the settlements in this match, but rumor has it that the duke has provided a dowry of $000,000 bosidos settling $35,000 a year upon the young couple. It may be said with ab solute certainty that the prineo has brought nothing into tho settlement be yond lifo insuranco policies and possi bly a fow thousands provided by the queen, with whom he is deservedly a great favorite. It is no disgrace to tho Duke of Teck to say that he lives well up to and prob ably considerably beyond his income, eapooially since the future king of Eng land became his son-in-law.—London Cable.

Florence BlytUe's Millions. Florence Blythc-Hinckley has virtu ally come into possession of the large estate which contestants in the Califor nia courts so resolutely tried to wrest from her. > Generally speaking, it is worth from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000. It consists of a San Franoisco block, 80,000 acres of land ia San Diego coun ty, 44,000 oores of land in Mexico, ad joining California, and an interest la 1,800,000 acres of land in Mexico. Just what the Blythe estata interest in thoso 1,800,000 acres is will have to bo de cided by the Mexican . courts. A suit haa been brought to detf rrnine the sizo of tho Blythe interest in the large tract of land. There ia also 3125,000 in cash on hand belonging to tho estate. This will go principally to pay tho expenses of administration of tho estate.—San Francisco' Letter. • Bow Sherman Clot Into Congress.
