vice, the steamer of the Franklin En
gine company was taken back to com
pany quarters last evening. A block
ado In the Robinson street sower near
the junction of the street with Ninth

to cut Into thu sewer near where the
stoppage existed and tho steamer was
used to carrv olf the flow until theso
plans could be put Into effect. This
wns especially so in the case of Hotel
keeper Connors, whose residence is
within fifty feet of the point of stop
page. SPANISII SPECIES OF FUN.
Complaints have been made of the
annoying actions of a crowd of young
men and boys who are continually
making trouble for Mrs. B. Duggan, an
eldeily widow lady, residing at HS
South Filmore avenue, und It Is likely
that unless the business Is stopped ar
rests will follow. Only Saturday even
ing Mrs. Duggan fled from her home
almost distracted and In terror from
the cat-calls, oaths nnd vituperative
abuse hurled at her by a crowd who
had congregated In front of the house.
Not satisfied with this, a furious bom
bardment of stones was hurled against
tho house, and almost frightened the
old lady Into hysteria.
It seems that the only reason for all
this Is that the old lady Is rather ec
centric and remains much of her time
within her doors.

I have taken thrco bottles of Lydla
E. Plnkham's Vegetablo Compound and
used ono package of Sanallvo Wash,
and am cured of all my troubles. I feel
like n new woman. I enn do all klud.s
of housework and feel stronger than I
ever did in my life. I now weigh 131 4
pounds. Iteforo using your medicine I
weighed only 108 pounds.
Surely it is the grandest mcdielno for
weak woman that ever was, and my
advice to all who are suffering from
any female trouble is to try it at once
and be well. Your medicine has
proven a blessing to me, nnd I cannot
praise it enough. Mrs. Lucv Goodwin,

CHARLESTON'S DEPARTURE.
Big Crninpr Passes the (Joldon (into
Rcoelvinz mi Ovation by Ihe Wnv.
San Francisco, May 22. The Charles
ton Is well on her way to Manila. The
big cruiser passed through the Oolden
Gate at 8.20 this morning, after hav
ing been anchored In the stream all
night. She adjusted her compasses at
nn early hour and then passed up the-
bay through the Raccoon straits and
passed the docks on the northern front
age of the city. Every steam vessel
In the harbor blew an revolt' to Cap
tain Class and the crew. None of the
forts in the harbor saluted the vessel,
but tho demonstration made by the
0,000 soldiers gathered at the presidio
was tremendous. When the vessel was
sighted coming down the bay the sol
diers gathered on tho beach to bid
her bon voyage. They lined the beach
for a mile and cheer upon cheer rang
out from the men who are to soon fol
low the Charleston to the scene of Ad
miral Dewey's triumph. The Charles
ton's big siren answered the boys on
tho beach time and again and the
whistling was heard from one end ot
the city to the other. Never has a
war vessel leaving this harbor received
such a send-off as was given the
Charleston.
She was launched from the I'nlon
Iron works In this city ten years ago
and was ono of the "nest eggs" ot the
present American navy.

PARIS SHOPKEEPERS ANXIOUS.
DlmnaTod at tho Prospect ot Losing
American Trade.
Paris, May 22. The big shopkeepers
here are almost In a condition ot
panlo at the prospective loss of tho
very remunerative American trado
which they have enjoyed for yeara
past. Tho reports of the banding to
gehter of the fashionable women ot
the United States for tho purposo of
retaliating against French hostility to
the United States by discarding French
dressmakers denote a serious enough
condition of affairs, but do not wholly
explain the pertubed condition ot mind;
of the shopkeepers.
The opposition that is developing in
America to appropriating money for a
United States exhibit at the Interna
tional exposition of 1300 Is a far mora
serious matter. The whole exhibition
Is under a cloud, a condition of affelrs
that the business community ascribe
to the senseless diatribes of large num
bers of the French papers about every
nation except Russia, whce turn for
attack will probably come before tha
year of the exhibition.
Some of tho big Parisian houses aro
making arrangements to establish per
manent branches in London, New York,
and Brussels. In any case, tho exposi
tion must be chiefly bolstered up by
the English speaking race, which is
now saluted with tho cbauv'nlst cry
of "La France aux Francatse."
OP U.MVEIISI, INTEREST.
Austria is "P times ns large as tho
United Kingdom, IS times as large as
France and almost equal to tho United
States.
It has been calculated that if n pound
of thread mado from spiders' webs weru
required. It would occupy nearly 2S.00O
spiders a full year to furnish It.
There is no plant which animals so
detest us the castor oil plant. A goat
will starvo rather than eat it, and thoso
destroyers of everything green, the lo
cust and army worm, will not feed,
upon It.
Night blindness Is a peculiar affection
of th eye in which the patient sees
very well during the day, but beeomea
blind as night approaches. It Is most
ly met with in warm climates, and usu
ally gives way to mild treatment.
In the Sixteenth century there was a.
curious law In England whereby street
hawkers were forbidden to sell plums
and apples, for the reason that servants
and apprentices were unable to resist
th sight of them, nnd vvt -e, conse
quently, tempted to steal their employ
ers' money In order to enjoy tha costly
delicacies.
The tower of New Brlghbm is com
pleted. It Is the highest structure in
England. The summit nw rears it
head C20 feel above the level of tho Old
Dock sill at Liverpool, of course, tho
Ptruetuie itself Is not that height, but
the 1.7C0 tons of steel which have been
put Into it by Messrs. Handysldo. of
Derby, nre so arranged as to ascend nn
actual height above the ground which
Itself Is a considerable eminence of S70
feet. This Is considerably more than
the Blackpool tower, the Eiffel tower
being only 515 feet, leaving New Brigh
ton with an advantage of 52 feet
It Is 11 curious fact that red-haired
peoplo are fur less apt to go bald than
thoso with other colored hair. Tha
nverago crop on tho bfad of a red
lialred person Is only 29.200 hairs, Or
dinary dark hair is far liner, nnd over
three dark hairs take up the spaco of
one red one; 10.1,000 Is about tho aver
nue. Rut fuir-halred people aro still
better olf; H0.OO0 to 100,000 Is quite a
common number of hairs on tho scalp
ot u fair-haired man or woman. A cur
ious calculation has been made to tho
effect that the hairs on tho head ot a
fulr-halred person, if they could ta
platted togothor, would sustain a,
weight of something like SO tons, equal
ing that of CC0 people.
