AROUND THE CAPITAL General Sherman and the Dam roseh-Blaine Wedding. A Marriage of True Love— A Brief and Simple Ceremony Made Mis* Bciecrans Mrs. Governor Toole of Montana. vva-bingtou Correspondence of The Cam,. Washington, May 11, 1800.— lion of the week lias been General Sherman, who came on, ho declares, to help celebrate his brother's birthday and to attend Miss Blame's wedding. The two events being a week apart, the old campaigner is given plenty of lime to see and enjoy all of his friends. Age ouly improves General Sher man's qualities, and since his retirement, at the age of __, he has almost grown younger, if such an active, enthusiastic, tireless, busy and jolly person could in tensify any of those traits of eternal youth. Bis exhausted staff officers used to say that on one of his great inspection tours he could tire them all out, one by one, and then be just in full enthusiasm and fair start himself. He rushes about the city now with the eagerness and alertness of youth, and what he accomplishes in oue day would make a long story if put down by the truest reporter. On Friday evening Senator and Mrs. Sherman gave a reception for the General and Miss Rachel Sherman, and their large house was crowded with those whom "UNCLE CUSIP" Welcomed with both hands and said, "God bless me," etc., in greeting. New York is so near Washington and the exchange of social life so great that the General has by no means lost sight of his friends in going there, aud his remarkable memory for names and faces does him equal service in Broadway crowds, Washington drawing rooms and Grand Army reunions. The succeeding day he lunched with the White House family, and in the evening the Pres ident and others assisted at Senator Sher man's dinner of celebration for his birth day. Whenever General Sherman comes to Washington he never fails to look up the widows and families of bis old friends, and be is more sure to see those who are in dis tress or affliction or reduced circumstances than to call on the great and the prosperous. His great, kind heart goes out to all these, and no visit is too short to not permit him to -en or send word to those to whom he is a cheer and a tonic. In appearance he is perhaps a little grayer and a little more deeply wrinkled, but his eye is as kindly twinkling as ever, his voice as deeply sonorous and his laugh as infectious, lie delights in crowds, in movement and activ ity ol every kind, and is still the one and only WILLIAM TXCUMSEH SHEF.MAX. Miss Blame's marriage to Mr. Walter liamrosch is now set for this next Satur day, the 17th of May, despite all the say ings about May weddings. It will be a quiet home ceremony at l o'clock, with only relatives and intimate family friends present. Handsome presents have already begun to come to the bride, and the re membrances that she will have received by her wedding day will be past counting. Andrew Carnegie's present is looked for with considerable interest by the curious outsiders, as Walter Damrosch is not only a special pet and friend of his, but it was on Mr. Carnegie's famous coaching tour through England and Scotland that Mr. Dauirosch and Miss Blame met. Mr. Car negie. was a grizzled messenger of cupid in throwing those two young people together in every way and festering each one's faucy for the other. The whole Blame family are said to appreciate Mr. Dam roseh's good and charming qualities as much as Mr, Carnegie, and it is a very happy arrangement all around. Mr. Dam ro-ciiis tall, dark and strikingly handsome, and is said to be TUE IDOL OF ALL The musically inclined young women in New York. While he has a fine income from his professional work he is not rich, and the marriage is an affair of true love entirely. Since his father's death ho and a married brother have kept the home and made one household with a mother and sis ter, and from his conduct as a son every one has reason to congratulate Miss Blame, and augur well for her future life. For the Blame parents it must be very hard to give up this daughter, as the home will now hold only the youngest daughter. Miss Hat tie, and the son, James G. Blame Jr. The wedding of Governor Toole of Mon t.ii.a and General Kosecrans' daughter was most quietly celebrated this week. The groom Is not a Catholic, and as a dis pensation for a church wedding could not be obtained in time the ceremony took placo at the parsonage, or priest's house, adjoining St. Matthew's Church, It was a very brief and simple ceremony, the bride wearing a traveling dress of dark green cloth closely braided in black, and her two friends, Miss Campbell and Miss Horsey, wore light spring gowns, with hats. There were no bridesmaids or any elaboration of THE SIMPMX SERVICE, By which the two people were united, and Governor and Mrs. Toole drove from the pastoral residence directly to the train. It will be a month or two before they settle in their new home in Helena. Senator and Mrs. Stanford Have returned from their short trip home wonderfully re freshed and recuperated, and Mrs. Stan ford claims that the California air and home surroundings there were cure-all and tonic for her. They have given several dinners since their return, and on the 20th are to give a large dinner to the President and Mrs. Harrison. One of the most inter esting of their dinners was the one given last night to the sixteen small boys who act as pages on the floor of the Senate. Sen ator Stanford is a sort of father to all these youngsters and takes a persot.al interest in each one of them, and Mrs. Stanford Warmly seconds him. AU the boy* who come in contact with Senator Stanford have cause to consider him a friend, and his Christmas dinners to the telegraph messenger boys, his contributions to the Newsboys' Home, the Children's Hospital, : aud kindred institutions, further prove it. For the dinner to the little page boys everything except in the matter of wines was done in the same way as if for a din ner to BILOTHILR SEXATOR3. The china and silver were the same, the decorations as pretty, and there were even more favors, toys, trifles, candies and sou venirs than are set out for elders. Early in June Senator and Mrs. Stanford sail for Liverpool and will spend the summer at German baths. There has been every sign of the gather ing of the clans, and by the hotel arrivals alone one could have argued that something was about to happen. To-morrow the Republican National Committee assembles to choose a successor to Senator Quay as its Chairman, and the chiefs have gathered for a deep and solemn session. After the mar tyrdom of criticism, abuse and caricaturing that Senator Quay has endured in this year and a half he can hardly urge any of his friends to attempt to succeed him, but a vic tim will, of course, lie found and one an xious to endure the penalty of being the Chairman. There is no connection between the events, but the facts that Bnrnum ar rives on the day following the committee's meeting marks the week with twin events of national interest. All Washington goes to Barnum, and a quorum of either House of COXGRESS Can be found under the great canvas any night that it is In town. General Sherman was always a sure attendant at first nights, and President Arthur gave circus parties of a dozes or twenty friends and enjoyed the shov apparently as much as when a boy. General Grant was another patron of the sawdust ring. Another sure sign of the season Is the .succession of shad bakes at resorts on the Potomac Kiver. The lawyers of the Dis trict bar and their friends enjoyed their annual frolic and picnic yesterday, and planked shad browned and sizzled before a line of fires. This week the California Pioneers are to revive old memories and tell of the days of '49 In connection with planked shad, at Marshall Hall. All Cali fornians take part, and the pioneer may only have visited California by train within the last ten years to be eligible to eat planked shad with the veterans who crossed the isthmus or the plains at the time of the gold lever. Planked shad is a river delicacy that ought to be known in California, if it has not come in WITH THE SHAD Already. . It has long furnished a spring festival along the Potomac, and Daniel Webster was one of the statesmen and epi cures to make it fashionable. There are old colored, cooks, as well as many clubmen and bon vivants, famous for tbe mysterious art with which they can split a shad, nail it to a plank that has one end sharpened to stick in the ground before an outdoor camp lire. While the shad slowly cooks the cook bastes. it with a compound in which each artist holds his secret, and the result is something that mere tasteless words cannot describe. • Washington just now possesses as lively a real estate boom as it has ever known, and the newspapers are sharing in the boom by the liberal aud extravagant man ner in which each boom advertises itself, Every day a whole page is given up to some park, heights, or addition, and the beauties of home, sweet homo, on the installment plan, oi first payments and DEEDS OP TRUST Are sung to the public ear.

State Senator and Mrs. Dargie, who have spent the past month at the Shoreham, are to leave in a few days for New York. snd thence return home. Mrs. Dargie's beauty is of a type so unusual here that she has at tracted a great share of attention and ad miration.

THE ARNOLD VERDICT. ■editorial Opinion* From the Interior Press. Petaluma Imprint. Now that the Arnold trial is ended, and lie has walked forth from the courtroom a free man, it is interesting to look back over the developments of the case, and In d.ing so, vie cannot fail to be Impressed wilh the fact that there is something noxious in the moral atmosphere of San Fraucisco. Par ticularly does the journalistic (so-called) profession of San Francisco stand forth in a very unenviable light. Nut only do we see a member of the Guttenberg-Faust fraternity venal enough to place in type matter designed to wreck a home, but we further see the city editor of a great daily paper and his staff of subordinates vieiug with each other for the honor of writing up what they knew to be false. The art pre servative is rapidly becoming a misnomer for this progressiva age. flow would the art defamatory on the art of levying black mail do as a substitute? Happily there were men among the fraternity who scorned to prostitute their talents to an undertaking so vile. Marysviile Appeal. As everybody who read the testimony must have anticipated the jury in the Gar ness murder case found Arnold not guilty. The evidence showed that Garness was one of the most despicable scoundrels and black mailers that ever walked the earth; that he wrote and caused to be printed in San Fran cisco aud distributed in Colusa a series of dastardly, anonymous circulars attacking the character of Arnold's wife, and that lie told an acquaintance that he meant to have "Arnold's wife, his money or his life." The evidence further leaves little room for doubt that Arnold hunted down the wretch with the intention of kill ing him. The pleas of insanity aud self-defense were transparent fictions. The verdict simply means "'served the villain right." It is a failure of law, but a vindi cation of justice. For such a crime as that of Garness the law provides no sufficient punishment. All decent men agree that it deserves death. The contempt and loath ing that the infamous acts of Garness have aroused are beyond expression. He was a disgrace to humanity, and the world is well rid of such a moral monster. Let his fate be a warning to others of his kind, if any such remain to prey upon society. The dev ilish l.i-.. is an honorable type of charac ter compared with this broadcast sower of calumny. San Jose Time*. Public sentiment fully justifies the Jury which on Thursday night acquitted Arnold in San Francisco for the killing of Black mailer Garness. lt is so seldom that a blackmailer gets his just deserts that after , the defense in this case established Gar ness' charactet there was never a doubt as to what the verdict would be. The verdict was not according to the written, but ac cording to the higher law, which Legisla tures refuse to put on the statute books, but which is observed just the same. Tulare Register. " Ton are one of the most mysterious persons I ever saw." was said by one of the witnesses in the Arnold trial to Gar ness. He was an lago. Those who have believed Shakespeare overdrew that subtle villain must reverse their opinion.— AUh. Fortunately for the Desdemona in the case Mr. Arnold was a more reasonable and faithful spouse than burly Othello made. Arnold did wrong to take the life of Garness, but Garness richly deserved his fate. . . i-'J'Z _ . retaluma Imprint. As was universally expected, Arnold, the slayer of Garness, was triumphantly ac quitted. Tliere is no doubt but that the de fendant would have been instantly acquit ted were it not fur the singular and unac countable action of the counsel for the defense in advancing two • contradictory pleas— one the proper one of self-defense and the other the insanity dodge, thus placing the jury ln a very embarrassing po sition. ___ Contra Costa Gazette. In the case of Arnold, on trial for shoot ing S. W. Games*, the Jury in Thursday returned a verdict of not guilty. It is one more evidence that the unwritten law re garding the sanctity of the family out weighs the statute against the taking of human life. __ Gait _____*_, The jury returned a verdict of not guilty in the Arnold case. Arnold was tried in San Fraucisco for the killing of Garness, the blackmailer and defamer of the farmer's wife. The result of the verdict is being re ceived with much favor by nearly all classes of people. Santa Cruz Sentinel. In San Francisco, Thursday, Arnold, who killed the blackmailer Garness, was acquit ted by a jury after being out several hours. The verdict gives universal satisfaction at Colusa. AMERICAN GIRLS. How a Party Succeeded in Shaking Hands Witli Itlsmarck. A few weeks ago a company of young ladies from Maine made a vow that they would not only see Bismarck, but shake hands with him. And they accomplished their vow in the most easy and natural man ner. The occasion was a bazaar given at Bismarck's palace in Berlin for the benefit of the Ten-pfennig Society, a society for the aid of the poor. The Maine girls re paired to the palace at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon and found the apartments crowd ed with people buying goods much as is done in our New England bazaars. Pres ently the young ladies saw that the worship ers of Bismarck began to be aware of his presence, and half a dozen bouquets were placed in his hands. "What lovely flowers the Prince has?'' said one of the girls in English. Bismarck overheard the remark and turn ing lo the young lady and shaking her hand said, also in English : " But do you not think there are more be stowed on me than 1 deserve?" " If I had more I would add them to your stock," she retorted. Bismarck laughed, and added : "I am very glad to see that you Americans take interest enough in the bazaar to come here." The Maine girls again found it con venient to speak in somewhat enthusiastic terms in English of what they saw and heard. "What a magnificent man Prince Bis marck is!" remarked one. The Prince turned and smiled, and ex tended his hand to each of the Maine girls, and said : "And you, too, are Americans. And you think the palace is magnificent, do you? lam glad it pljases you. lam happy to welcome you as Americans." The happy way in which the Chancellor misunderstood the compliment to himself and appropriated It to his palace shows that Ins Intellect Is not impaired by years, — Lewiston Journal. 1.i. -.mi: villi-, Alia* Cincinnati. That brilliant and learned historical scholar, John Flske.ln one of his recent works, 'The Critical Period of American History, brings to light many queer nug gets as the result of his delving about, par ticularly anion-; the early days of the West ern States. He finds that about the time Jefferson proposed his scheme of govern ment for the Northwestern Territory there was a classical revival among our great grandfathers, which specially manifested itself in names. A city had been just founded on the Ohio Kiver, opposite the mouth of Licking Creek, to which they gave the name of 1.0 santiville. The word was compounded in the following odd style: "L" stood for Licking. while " os " signified mouth, "anti" opposite, and "vllle". town. Heading the whole backward you have "Town-opposite -mouth -of -Licking." In 17' M General St. Clair changed the name ' Losantiville" to Cincinnati in honor of the military order to which he belonged. As between the two names "Losantiville" is quite as melodious and much more des criptive. Had Jefferson had his way there would have been ten instead of five States made out of the territory, and they would have borne the following classical names: Sylvania, Miehigaula.

PLEASURES OF VACATION. A Trip luto the Country and Its Healthful Results. How Children Erj-y a Relaxation From Study and How -hoy Enjoy thi Fish They Catch or the Berries They Gather. Written tor Thk Mobninb Cam. After the reign of hoary winter, and this season the reign has been an unusually heavy, severe one; after the chilling rains and snows, the frightful roaring of the thunder, the mournful whist ling of the winds, how delightful is it to Mother Nature to behold the sweet influence of spring, which comes like a gentle nurse to warm her with her balmy breath and re fresh her with the bright rays of the golden sun. The earth which was wrapped in gloom, continually reverberating the un varying, monotonous fall of the plentiful rain, has blossomed into a thing of beauty and joy, inviting us by its many and varied charms to sympathize and be glad with it in the revolution that has takeu place. Nature lias clothed herself in her brightest garb and exhorts the feathered choir to pour forth their most melodious songs of praise. Flowers— the beautiful progeny of a de lightful spring— fill the ambient air with the richest fragrance and shed au alluring influence over the vast space they cover. With so many beauties to tempt the ar tistic or LOVERS OF THINGS JIOXDAXE And with the inducements which country life holds out to the fatigued city folks, it seems only natural that those who are able should leave the hot, dusty metropolis for the more tempting atmosphere of sea-side life. The clerks of the different interior hotels, who yawned aud gaped all the live-long day, yearning for something to relieve the monotony of their existence, nro now at their wit's end to provide suitable accom modations for the large list of passengers which each train or stage invariably brings. The inevitable hotel piano, which might have been enjoying a Rip Van Winkle sleep, so peacefully did it slumber in its accustomed corner in the parlor of the country caravansary, wears an unmistak able air of rejuvenescence, brought about by the rusticating music-player. In fact, the lethargic condition that characterized the entire state of being during the winter months is outdone only by the transforma tion that takes place during the summer days; and thus it is that the quiet country people anticipate the advent of the city folk WITH CONSIDERABLE EXPECTATION. The matron of fashion aud the matron's daughters consider a few mouths spent amid rural surroundings an indispensable adjunct in the way of fresh pleasure and conquests. The tired, hard-working clerk accepts with alacrity a few weeks' respite from office duties, which he spends at some springs or resort, whose invigorating powers produce untold results. Various as well as pleasant are the enjoyable rides and excur sions, the dancing and games and the even ing strolls through scented groves or parks usually illuminated by the soft radiance of a full moon. From the hotel portico or the cottage veranda the coquet can ply her vocation unremittingly, which is that of a flirtation, mild, silly or amounting to noth ing, as she may choose to speak of it. Vacation for the heads of families is gen erally one thing, while vacation to the grown-up sons and daughters is something entirely diilierent. But all the pleasures that mammas and papas and big brothers and sisters enjoy bales into insignificance with that expe rienced by the school-child. While at home the children look up to their prototypes for guidance in some matters, they give FILL SWAY To their own inclinations when a jaunt in the country is concerned. Alter a year of school— after a year of laborious mental ex ertions—after a year of listening to the monotonous hum of the school-room, the mournful sobs of the most unfortunate pupil— with what joy is vacation welcomed. Vacation restores health, brings back to the cheek the delicate crimson rose which hard study had terrified and driven away, and so essential is it to the health ot the child that were there no vacation the pupil would pine under his collegiate labors like a flower would under a perpetual, sunless, cloudy sky. One may exercise every care and attention in the cultivation of some plant, but if that plant is deprived of sufficient moisture or the heat of the sun the labor is for naught and the plant per ishes, bo it is with the school-child. He has studied diligently during the past year, has been cooped up in it room which how ever well ventilated is nevertheless at times close, and be naturally looks forward to va cation as a retreat combining peaecfulness with pleasure. By a parent who appre ciates the benefits to be derived from A RELAXATION OF ____•_", The boy or girl is taken for a short stay in the country. No butterfly as it flutters from flower to flower drinking in the balmy nectar from their tiny goblet* is filled with more joy or possesses a greater sense of freedom than school children during the first few weeks of their vacation. They are sur rounded and welcomed by kind friends, they have a thousand little school adven tures to tell about and a thousand little complaints to make. In a word, they are as busy as a hive of bees. Pleasure predomi nates over all their thoughts and over all their actions. Everything needs an ex planation, every nook and coruer is duly explored, all things are admired and made much of. The timid little bird, which in delusive confidence built its nest on the huge branch of some tree or sequestered nook, is rudely awakened from its dream of peace and seclusion by some ruthless ex plorer. The sly fish nre lured by the young sters' bait, the squirrel stands in momentary dread of being stoned or having his home invaded, and everything is a target on a more or less extended scale for the school boys' pranks. Nor are their more gentlo sisters guiltless from interloping ou the pleasures of the country. It is so nice to eat THE FISH (INK CATCHES, And though the catch of the sister may not compare in number with that of her more agile brother, still very frequently the girl enjoys a dish of the fiuuy tribe caught with her own dainty fingers. She makes deep inroads on the berry beds, and is not at all backward in helping herself to the nuts which are drooping from the trees. The hills which yesterday showed the pret tiest variegated picture, covered with flow ers of every kind and description, are to day stripped of their gay attire by the girl and her sisters. Then, again, the boy may be guilty of many little cruelties, but nine times out of ten the hotel people who are obliged to listen day after day to the girl practicing' her scales or frantically en deavoring to master some new piece of music wish for lho lime being that all girls were boys. Boys, and girls alike make the best of everything in their surroundings, and old wagons and vehicles which had al most vegetated at some farm-house for want of use, are brought into requisition again aud given to understand that their days of usefulness are not yet over. Indeed it would be hard to accurately depict the joy a child who has been accustomed to the narrow CONFIXES OF A CITT PLAY- . HOUND Feels as lie tosses and tumbles in tho im mense arena with its hundred aud one op portunities for sport, and which the coun try so lavishly bestows. Across fields and along con idors the merry laugh of the chil dren is heard, and the multitudinous hum of youthful, happy voices invades every where. But after the first week or two vacation begins to be monotonous. The entire ab sence from restraint of any kind becomes irksome. The girl tires of her doll, music or embroidery, the boy of his ball, kite or top, and each secretly wishes for some reg ular task with which to occupy the time. They represent those with whom Shake speare was evidently acquainted when lie wrote: If all the year were playing holidays, lo sport would be as tedious as to work. The vacation which when the teacher an nounced the length of time seemed entirely inadequate to the realization of pent-up hopes and aspirations of the child lias be come tedious and tiresome. To return to school is the unspoken wish of the pupil, where, after studying for a while, he will again look upon vacation as the stimulus toward the successful completion of an other year's collegiate labors. And air this time that the scholar has been admiring the beauties of nature aud taking advantage of his liberty, the school or seat of learning has been resting in tranquillity aud repose. There is no silence like that sober gloom which settles upon the deserted .round, which was wont to be the center of school pleasure, the un occupied benches and the voiceless halls of a school-house during vacation. The air of profound silence and desolation that clus ters around it excites in one a feeling strange as it is novel. Footsteps upon the floor produce a strange, unnatural sound dust works its way iuto the corners, and in undisturbed glory the spider weaves his silken web across the ceiling. * There is the vacant seat of tha schoolmaster, a throne to which many a small urchin had looked up with the most . profound - respect, mingled with awe. In corners of the room iie dusty copy-books and text-books, 'all neglected. Everything bears somewhat the look of desolation described in Goldsmith's poem of "The Deserted Village," for the inhabitants of the place were gone— in pursuit of pleasure and all that tends toward its amelioration. The scholar re turns home benefited . both mentally and physically, and able to present to his teacher a voluminous manuscript when re quested to write a composition on his vaca tion. The matron and her daughters re turn from the seaside resort, in many instances the prospective mothers-in-law and brides of the coming winter. Alto gether vacation is prolific of many things, but particularly as regards health and en joyment aud matrimonial alliances. Bra*. Kxox. THE DESERT DATE. The Great -tors Sat Upon the Fruit by Dwellers Id the Sahara. For miles we passed through palm groves watered by their little artificial conduits and producing the staple food of the island. Saed lien Omar talked to us much about the date. "Mohammed said," he began, "'Honor the date tree, for she is your mother" "—a true enough maxim in parched Arabia, where nothing else will grow. When ripe the dates are put into a round tank called the niadibash, where they are exposed to' the sun and air and throw off excessive juice, which collects below. After three days of this treatment they are removed and packed for exporta tion iv baskets of palm leaves. The Bahreinee, for their own consumption, love to add sesame seeds to their dates, or ginger powder and walnuts pressed with tliem into jars. These are called seerah and are originally prepared by being dried in the sun and protected at night, then di luted date-juice is poured over them." The fruit which does not reach maturity is called salami, and is given as food to cattle, boiled with date stones and fish bones. This makes an excellent sort of cake for milch cows, and the green dates, too, are given to the donkeys, to which the Bahreinee attrib ute thbir great superiority. The very poor also make an exceedingly unpalatable dish out of ereeu dates mixed with fish for their own table, or, 1 should say, floor. Nature here is not strong enough for the fructification of the palm, so at given sea sons the pollen is removed by cutting off the male snathes when ready; these then dry for twenty hours, and tlien they take the flower twigs, and deposit one or two in each bunch of the female blossom. Just as we were there they were very busy with the spathes, aud in Thursday's market huge baskets of the male spathes were exposed for sale. The palm groves are surrounded by dikes to keep the water in, and the fins of a species of ray fish, after being put in tanks to decompose, is the most approved form of manure. The date tree Is everything to a Bah reinee. He beats the green spadix with wooden implements to make fibre for his ropes; in the dry state he uses it as fuel; he makes his mats, the only known form of carpet and bedding here, out of it; his bas kets are made of the leaves; from the fresh spathe, by distillation, a certain stuff called Tara water is obtained, of strong but agree able smell, which is much used for making sherbet of. Much legendary lure is con nected with the da'e. The small round hole at the back is said to have been made by Mohammed's teeth, when one day he foal ishly tried to bite one, and in some places the expression "at the same time a date and a duty" Is explained by the fact that at Ramadan the day's fast is usually broken by first eating a date. Among all these date groves are the curi ous Arab wells, with sloping runs, and worked by donkeys; the tall poles to which the skins are attached are dale-tree trunks; down goes the skin as the donkey comes up to its run, and then up it comes again full of water as the donkey descends, to be guided by a slave into the water channel which fertilizes the trees. Day after day in our camp we heard the weird creaking of these wells, very early in the morning and in the evening when the sun had gone down, and we felt when we heard them what an intiuite blessing is a well of water in a thirsty land.— Cornhlll Maga zine. MISS KETTEKVILLE. She Was a Miser Win. Claimed to Be He lmed to a Great link*. An old English lady named Xetterville, who claimed to be the sister of the Duke ol Arj-yle, died recently at li Avenue a' An tin. She had been living for eight years in the house, and occupied an apartment for which she paid WOO francs rent. She had an other old woman as a companion, and sometimes spoke of this person as her sister. During all the time that these women occupied the apartment the shut ters were never once opened.- Two days ago the houseporter.fancying that a fire had broken out in the apartment, sent for the fire brigade and forced the door. The sight of the sapeuis-pompiers so frightened Miss Nettervlllo that she took to her bed with an apoplectic fit. Yesterday morning it was found necessary to send for a doctor and the cure of Saint l'hllippe dv Koule. The latter says that he never in his life saw a more miserable home than that occupied by the old English woman. There was not a scrap of furniture except In the room in which Miss Xetterville was lying, which was furnished with a straw mattress flung in one corner of tbe room. The whole place was in a state of in describable filth, teeming with vermin. He found the patient lying in dirty rags on the straw defending herself as best she could against swarms of rats and mice which had overrun the whole apartment. Miss Xet terville died last night. The doctor re fused to give a certificate of burial, and has communicate- with the police, who are In vestigating the affair and have written to London so that the claim of the deceased to relationship with the Argyle family may be investigated. Miss Netterville leaves a very large for tune, which would be extremely acceptable to her dukely relation if he can establish his claim to it. The case recalls the death of an old American spinster in a house op the boulevard dcs Italiens some three years agy. This person, who lived in as sordid a Insliion as Miss Netterville, left a fortune of over 5-00,000.— Paris Letter _.. Y. World. SOMETHING 10 LAUGH AT.

Annual Outing of the Society at San Jose. The San Francisco Deutseher Krieger Verein held its annual May festival at Live Oak Park, San Jose, yesterday. A special train of sixteen coaches was char tered for the occasion, and carried the mem bers of the society and their friends to San Jose over the South Pacific Coast road. Arriving there at 11:07 they found the San Jose Dentscher Krieger Verein drawn up in line at the depot, and, with a brass band, prepared to give them a hearty wel come. The Ladies of the Red Cross, a society composed of the ladies of the Krieger Verein of San Francisco, formed in line ana took a position at the head of the col umn, and facing the San Jose society. Mrs. Eliza Hilfisch. on behalf of 'the La flies of the Red Cross, then presented the <?■! : °„ c Verein with ■ flag and staff. ihe flagman elegant suecimen of the em broiderer's art, is the regulation German em blem, with a laurel wreath in the center worked in green chenille surrounding the Iron cross, which bears the initial letters of the. society's name, D. K. V. S. J. J-- Kraut, President of the San Jose verein, responded briefly, thanking the ladies of the Red Cross for this gift. The colors of both societies were then decorated With flowers by a party of twenty little girls, after which the organizations were gut in marching order, and. headed by the San Jose Band, started for Live Oak Bark. A halt of ten minutes was made at the Court-house, where the societies were pho tographed in line. Arriving at the park, which, in honor of the occasion, had been made gay with flags, bunting and streamers of all colors, the so cieties listened to short addresses by their respective Presidents, after which they were dismissed to pass the day in dancing and games. A pleasant feature of the day, and one in which the spectators manifested much en thusiasm, was a mounted sword contest be tween Captain Voss of San Francisco and Into Schneller of San Jose. Captain Voss had a better mount than his adversary, and f ron _ the first showed superior skill in handling his weapon. At the close of the twenty-sixth attack Voss had scored fifteen points to his opponent's eleven. A most enjoyable day was passed by all, and the society returned to. the city with out a single incident to mar the pleasures of the occasion. MILLIONS OF ANIMALS. You Can Not Sec Them, but You May lie Devoured by Them if You Are Not on Your (Linn, l. . . __al-_rf_— air. What is "bad air?" It Is air loaded with millions ot minute animals too small to be seen by the naked eye and every one of them poisonous. Look at a sunbeam where it comes streaming through your window and notice the millions of atoms of dust that it contains. Yon do not see the dust except as It Is made visible In a sunbeam. Then think how many thousands of millions of smaller animals there must he in every breath drawn Into the lungs and not one of which can be seen! But they must live, and they do live upon that portion of the human body which they can get at. This is malaria. I* It any wonder that nearly every man and woman Is troubled with it? Is It not rather a wonder that they are not troubled more? But what can be done. Kill the germ*. HowT Nothing so quickly and certainly does lt as pure whisky. Nothing so certainly Injures as lm pure whisky, and no whisky was ever known that Is so absolutely pure In every respect as Duffy's Pure Malt. Professor Henry A. Mott of New York de- clares It; Mr. William T. Cutter, State Chemist of Connecticut, unhesitatingly asaerts It: all prominent scientists, doctors and professors who have investi- gated it fully agree aud are unqualified lv their commendations. Any man or woman who feels tired, weak, ex- hausted, despondent, with all the signs of malaria and malarial poisou, should not delay, and can not do better than to use. In the proper manner and with moderation, Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky. Be careful in purchasing it, however, to secure the genuine. Like other valuable things It has Imita- tions, and many dealers are dishonorable enough to try and soil other and injurious goods. Do uot be deceived but Insist upon having the genuine. )._..10 tf ~ AUCTION SALES. ~~ AUCTION SALES BY M. ,T. SIMMONS FOB THE WEI X FNDINIi MAY 31, IK'to. M. J. SIMMONS, AUCTIONEER.
