In Southern California.

There is nothing here to remind one of winter except the enow-crowned mountains—the mighty uplift of the Sierras. The broad river glides past grass-lined banks and nodding flowers. The hills are clothed in summer garments, the great orange orchards hold ripening harvests. The brown vineyards are bursting into leaf, and the gardens are richer than Eastern conservatories in the gay coloring of bud and flower. Like a vast billowy eea of green stretch the long, wide valleys. The merry beetle crawls amid the white sands. The ants are building their hills, and the gopher eyes them from bis hole. The soft breezes come laden with the scent of rose gardens and lily patches, and like a crimson banner the bright poinsetta sways to and fro In the tremulous air. From their lowly beds the violets look up open-eyed, holding the breath of summer fragrance. The winds are hushed, the sky is a tender azure which clouds but seldom come to mar. Dawns break in crimson glory, and sunsets melt In gold and purple splendor. The white snow of orange blooms is falling upon the orchards. The pink rain of fallen rose leaves Is drooping on the sward. Bird calls to bird from tree-top to tree-top, and we feel the pulse of summer athrob in climbing vines, In fragrant amaranth, and all the beautiful, blossoming, smiling world upon our shores. And this is a California winter. A department store in city has rented an old, unused church edifice, and has converted it into a riding academy for purchasers of the especial makes Of wheels in which the firm deals.

HARVEY MEETS HORR.

GREAT ORATORICAL BATTLE ON THE MONEY QUESTION. Contestants to Argue for Three Hoars Every Afternoon Until They Bun Out of Facts—Weekly He port of Weather and Crops—News Notes. Eight Days of Talk. Roswell G. Horr and W. H. Harvey, whose prominence in financial discussions makes extended introduction of them minecessary, begun their long-heralded and much-advertised debate at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the assembly room of the Illinois Club, Chicago. The room had been fitted up as an amphitheatev with seats for only 200 persons. Admission is by card, but all the seats were taken at the opening of the contest* jtnd it is unlikely that any cards will ‘gdlWgging ,lt any time during the eight days of the friendly dispute. For the benefit of nil concerned the talk is divided into blocks of about 1,000 words from each disputant, and when each has had a say both are open to questions from the auditors. Roswell G. Horr is a statesman from Michigan, now engaged in writing on finance for the. New York Tribune. He has as his referee Lyman J. Gage, of the First National Bank, of Chicago, and as his judge Charles H. Aldrich, also of Chicago. W. li. Harvey is known to everybody as the author of “Coin’s Financial School.” His referee is H. S. Taylor, of Chicago, and his judge is Henry Miller, also a Chicagoan. The issue is “Gold or Silver for a National Currency,” with Mr. Harvey of course in favor of the white metal, and the debate is founded on chapters in the silver champion’s noted “school” book. Mr. Horr made the opening statement. The fight opened with a spar for points. Neither combatant wished to commit himself until he had “tried the wind” and “felt the reach” of his adversary. The Gotham man caused an impression that his first purpose was to castigate Harvey for his literary license in making wellknown persons per force attend his “financial school.” Hardly had this point been touched upon when Mr. Gage, whoso name is linked with every lesson, got up and went out. He did not resume his seat. The silver sympathizers laughed loudest and cheered hardest. Mr. Horr’s constituency eased itself with suppressed titters and signifiea'nt nods. As the debate proceeded the applause grew harder. At the reading of the terms “gold and Rilver” from the Constitution by Mr. Harvey there was an outburst. “Who-oy!” shouted the delegate from Indiana. He followed it with deafening hand-claps. A moment after Judge \ r incent requested that demonstrations be omitted. “Let them talk,” said Mr. Harvey. “I have no feeling on the subject— let them talk if they choose,” seconded Mr. Horr. The gold champion early tried to get his opponent to commit himself on the meaning of primary money. Mr. Harvey shied from the trap which he suspected, saying he would discuss that detail in its rightful place. Later, when Mr. Horr was asked to answer point blank if silver was not made the standard in 1792, he in turn dodged, offering Mr. Harvey’s refusal to answer him in a word as precedent against minute cross-examination. Dr. Thomas, president of the Illinois Club, called the gathering to order and welcomed the guests who were to sliaro the discussions. He was followed by Judge Miller, who read the rules adopted by the speakers.

INDIANA LAW IS DEFEATED,

Legislative Apportionment Act la Declared Unconstitutional. A suit to test the constitutionality of the Indiana legislative apportionment act passed by the last General Assembly was brought in the Circuit Court at Sullivan and argument in support of the propositions advanced by plaintiffs were made by Senator Turpie, ex-Congressman Brown and ex-Representative Beasley. It was claimed that under article 4, sections 4 and 5, of the Constitution, the General Assembly had no power to enact a law either by repealing valid and existing laws or by passing new laws upon the subject; that the law was passed at an unconstitutional period and not nt a session immediately following an enumeration of voters, as provided by the Constitution. It was also claimed that the new law-de-prived the counties of Vigo, Yorrtiillion and Sullivan of one joint representative. A writ of date was asked, restraining the Auditor, Sheriff and Clerk of Sullivan County from acting under it. Judge Moffett ruled that the new law was unconstitutional and granted the writ. An nppeal was taken to the Supreme Court.

MISS KEY NEARLY PENNILESS.

The Granddaughter of “Star Spangled Banner's” Author. “We will be without a penny In the world next Monday week,” was the way her condition and that of her aged and blind mother was described to a Washington correspondent by Miss Elizabeth Key, granddaughter of Francis Scott Key, the author of ‘,‘TJie Star Spangled Banner.” This affectionate daughter has had a hard time since she was dropped from the roll of clerks in the pension office. She held a clerkship since the Hayes administration. When the misfortune of Miss Key and her mother was made known to Secretary Smith, of the

GRAVE OF FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.

Interior Department, he tried to secure her reinstatement, but was insuccessful. Friends have intervened with the pension office authorities for the reinstatement of Miss Key, but without avail. Secretary of Agriculture Morton called at the office to investigate the case, but was informed that Miss Key i\as dismissed for “inefficiency.” A movement is on foot to erect n suitable monument to the memory of Francis Scott Key. The Key Monument Association was organized in June, 1894. It has raised so far about $2,000 for the object it has in view, and now appeals to the country at large for funds.

GOLD CERTIFICATE REVIVED.

Treasury Resumes a Practice in Vogue Before the Reserve Drooped. The Treasury Department has revived the issue of gold certificates, which have been suspended during the period when the treasury gold reserve was below $100,000,000. Since June 25 last, when the gold reserve again became intact, the treasury has issued about $200,000 gold certificates on gold presented mostly at United States mints. There are now outstanding $48,370,000 in gold certificates. Gold certificates are regarded as the most convenient form of gold money and most of these certificates are held by national banks as part of their lawful reserve. Silver certificates are in circulation to the almost complete exclusion of the silver dollars, as the general public appears to prefer coin representatives to the coin itself. Only $5,000,000 of silver dollars are in circulation, whereas more than eight times that amount of silver certificates,are in daily use, the silver in bullion being stored in the vaults of the treasury.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIG-HORN.

ts Ton Kill One of Theae Ton Max Call You met f a Sportsman. At last we have reached that gallant fellow, the mountain sheep or big-horn. A true cliff-dweller is he. Born under the shelving rocks of a beetling cliff, lometimes actually cradled in the snow, ■nd reared in the stormy atmosphere of high altitudes, he is a typical mountaineer. Wherever you find him at home, depend upon it that you will also find the finest scenery of the district This animal also loves a birds-eye view of a mountain landscape as well as does a member of the Geological Survey. A steep descent with a narrow, level valley and a thread-like river spread like a relief-map three thousand feet before him is his delight In former times he was venturesome, and often wandered miles away from his mountain home to explore tempting tracts of bad lands; and, being unmolested, he sometimes took up a permanent residence in such places. But the venturesome inhabitants of low, isolated mountains and shelterless bad lands have paid with their lives for their pioneering, and now a mountain sheep is rarely found elsewhere titan amid mountains worthy of the name. Kill one fine old mountain ram by your own efforts in climbing and stalking, and we will call you a sportsman, with a capital S —provided you save his head for mounting, and his flesh for the platter. But no ewes, mind yon! Ewes and lambs count against you, rather than to your credit Can I ever forget how I once traveled all the way from Washington to Wyoming, killed just one superb mountain ram amidst grand scenery, preserved him, carried bis “saddle”to Washington, and called my pleasure trip a complete success? Hardly. Even the recollection of it is worth four times the money it cost That particular mountain sheep stood four feet three inches in height at the shoulders. He was four feet ten inches in length of head and body, and his girth was three feet eight inches. He leaped off a low ridge of bare rock, foil dead on a foot of snow in the head of a rock-walled guloh, and oh, boys! how fine he was! Up in the mountain park he had been pawing through the biiow to get at the spears of dry grass that were there obtainable; and in spite of the difficulty of the process, and the pitiful scantiness of the grazing, I was astonished beyond measure at finding that his stomach contained fully half a bushel of that same grass. He was not only in good flesh, but positively fat; and from the fact that to save our lives Fleming, the packer, and I, both muscular men, could not lift him upon a mule to carry him to our camp, and for other reasons, I am certain that he weighed at least three hundred pounds. —St. Nicholas.

A Dog's Life in Oklahoma.

Down in Oklahoma they have many queer ways and queer things. The way they dispose of outlawed dogs would cause a citizen of Kansas City', who is used to the comparatively peaceful ways of the dog catcher and his wire noose and profanity, a shock. They have neither wagon nor noose in Oklahoma cities, but they have few stray ours which have forfeited their right to live because they have no master. Not long ago a Kansas City man stood on one of the principal streets of a bustling town, when he heard the report of a gun and saw a crowd of people run in every direction. “Ah!” he thought, “a tragedy. What luck.” For your ordinary peaceful citizen likes nothing better than the stimulus of a shock of that kind when in a country with a reputation for desperate deeds and men. Standing on the street was a small man holding a smoking shotgun, and writhing upon the ground was a big yellow dog. Another shot and the dog was dead. Then the crowd swarmed in, and the man witli the gun wormed his way out, followed by a crowd of adoring small boys. It was the city dog catcher. No noose and long torture for dogs in that town. The city executioner just loads up hJs gun and goes out and cancels a dog or two, and then collects a salary from the town.—Kansas City Star.

He Was No Menagerie.

Senator Harris, of Tennessee, says that just after Andrew Johnson had vacated the Presidential seat the managers of the Simpson County, Ky., Agricultural and Mechanical Association decided that It would be a great advertisement to have the old gentleman attend the fair. “We don’t care for him on Saturday,” said the manager, “far on that day we shall have a pretty big crowd, anyway. Wednesday will be the day. I will write the ex-President.” The following letter was sent to Mr. Johnson: “Great Sir—The people of the wonderful country of Simpson, feeling a great interest In one of America’s greatest sons, have decided to Invite you to be present at our fair grounds an Wednesday, Oct. 6, where they wish to shake your band. Please let me know by return mail.” He let him know by return mall, on 'the back of his own missive. The old gentleman turned the letter over, and read the following: “I am no menagerie. A. Johnson.”

Many Uses for Mushrooms.

Not only human beings, but cows, sheep, squirrels, and many kinds of birds, are fond of mushrooms. In many places mushrooms are dried Just as our grandmothers once dried apples, strung on strings, and hung from the celling for winter use. Some European species are used In coloring. One yields a yellow dye, another an exquisite green which colors the tree on which It grows; and from this wood is manufactured the celebrated Tunbridge ware. The poor people of Franconia, Germany, dry, press, and stitch together a certain kind of mushrooms, which is then made into garments; and in Bohemia a large round toadstool is dried and the inside removed; it is turned bottom upward, fastened to the wall, and used to hold a beautiful trailing vine, which grows luxuriantly.—St. Nicholas. ,

Before Women Danced Ballet.

Roman actors attained wonderful perfection in the ballet about the time of Augustus, and ballet dancing was popular down to the last days of the empire. It was only In the latter and more degenerate days that women appeared on the stage.

Wanted, s Title.

No one will be startled by the observation that the English language has Its limitations. Here and there it aeema to have dropped a word which can— * well be spared We have no alight but respectful title to use in greeting others. We may borrow "Madame” from the French, 4 and make shift to say “Sir" niton occasion, but it would be Ineffably ill-bred to use “MlssMn unsupported simplicity. In the days when courtly traditions still held sway, “Sir” and “Madam” were used with ceremonious courtesy. If these could only be revived and brought again Into favor, the sensitive ear would be gratified, and the oid-tiuie mode of address might exercise a salutary influence over what is so often termed the slipshod manners of tlds degenerate age. It may be that the present liberal and often absurd use of the word “lady” arises from the fact that there is no accepted title to take its place. So tired have women become of being so addressed by all sorts and conditions of men that they prefer to ignore the once choice and beautiful word, though It is quite certain that they would resent being called “Woman” when they ore Implored to move up iu crowded cars, or solicited to examine some rare bargain, or to buy the toys and flowers of the sidewalk venders.

He Will Not Drown Himself.

t From the Troy, N. T„ Times.) R. W. Edwards, of Lansingburgh, was prostrated by sunstroke during the war and it has eutaiied on him peculiar and serious consequences. At present writing Mr. E. is a prominent officer of Post Lyon, G. A. It.. Coboea, and a past aid de camp on the staff of the commander-in-chief of Albany Oounty. In the interview with a reporter he said: "1 was wounded and sent to the hospital at Winchester. They sent me, together with others, to Washington—a ride of about 100 miles. Having no room in the box cars \vc were placed face up on the bottom of flat cars. The sun beat down upon our unprotected heads. When I reached Washington 1 was insensible and was unconscious for ten days while in the hospital. An abscess gathered in my ear and broke; it has been gathering and breaking ever since. The result of this 100 mile ride and sunstroke was heart disease, nervous prostration, insomnia and rheumatism; a completely shattered system which gave me no rest night or day. As a last resort 1 took some Pink Pills and they helped me to a wonderful degree. My rheumatism is gone, my heart failure, dyspepsia and constipation aro about gone and the abscess In my ear has stopped discharging and my head feels as clear as a bell, when before it felt ns though it would burst and my once shattered nervous system is now nearly sound. Look at those fingers," Mr. Edwards said, “do they look as if there was any rheumatism there?” He moved his fingers rapidly and freely and strode about the room like a young boy. “A year ago those fingers were gnarled at the joints and so stiff that I could not hold a pen. My kuses would swell up and I could not straighten my leg out. My joints would squeak when I moved them. That is the living truth. “When I came to think that 1 was going to be crippled with rheumatism, together with the rest of my ailments, I tell you life seemed not worth living. I suffered from despondency. 1 cannot begin to tell you,” said Mr. Edwards, as he drew a long breath, “what my feeling is at present. I think if you lifted ten years right off my life and left me prime and vigorous at 47 I could feel uo better. 1 was an old man and could only drag myself painfully about the house. Now 1 can wnlk off without any trouble. That In itself,” continued Mr. Edwards, “would be sufficient to give me cause for rejoicing, but when you come to consider that 1 am no longer what you might call nervous and thut my heart is apparently nearly healthy and thut I can sleep nights you may realize why 1 may appear to speak in extravagant praise of Pink Pills. These pills quiet my nerves, take that uwful pressure from my head und at the same time enrich my blood. There seemed to bo no circulation in my lower limbs u year ago. my le<jß being cold nnd clammy at times. Now the circulation there is as full ami ns brUk as at any other part of mv body. I used to be so lightheaded and dizzy from my nervous disorder that I frequently fell while crossing the floor of my house. Spring is coming, and I never felt better in my life, and I am looking forward to a busy seasou of work.” People call Rev. Dr. F. E. Clark, who originated the Christian Endeavor movement, “Father Endeavor” Clark, greatly to Ills disgust, for It gives people the impression that he Is an old and withered patriarch, while ns a matter of fact, he Is only 44 nnd is In the prime of his strength and vigor.
