SAN FRANCISCO GIRL. The Beauty Parade Resumed, Only the Location Beina Changed. (From the San Francisco Chronical.) The "beauty parade,’’ which in the days before the great Are was a sight to delight both gods and men between the hours of 3 and 5 o’clock along the middle blocks of Market street, has been revived. The San Francisco f-irl, whose name is legion, and whose attractions have been sung the world over, nas rehabilitated herself, and has chosen as the most desirable nromenade upon which to saunter on Saturday afternoon, the west side of Van Ness avenue, between Eddy and California streets. There during the accustomed hours you may behold her. in all her charming types. Titian blood and dashing brunette, the girl with the baby smile and dazzling eyes, arrayed in all the glory of the jaunty summer styles; just as be witching. as merry and gay as if noth ing had happened in San Francisco on April 18. Her wardrobe has been replenished with the very latest and swagger clothes. khaki suitings, smart gowns of linen, dazzling head- wear and all that goes with the sum mer girl. Where the belles are, also come the beaux. A stroll on the avenue Is quite the thing. It is quite as inspir ing as was the walk along Market, from Kearney to Macon, in the old days. Even Nat Goodwin,, critical connoissour of feminine loveliness, was astonished at the parade Satur day. The Francisco girl seemed to have bloomed forth in three days of reconstruction lovelier than ever. Among the thousands on Van Ness avenue and Fillmore street it was quite noticeable that most of the fair promenadors appear to have gained additional color. Wind and lime dust seem to have quite the same effect on the complexion as artificial beauty- brighteners. Delicate rose pink is the proper thing in complexion nowadays* This charming color bears witness to the fact that the San Francisco girl has stayed in her city during the re habilitation period, and she is quite proud of it.

MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES. Steps Said to Have Been Taken To ward Instituion of Suits. Asheville, N. C.. Aug. 22.—-Charles R. Evans, of Madison county, has giv en out a story to the effect that he and a number of other North Caroli nians. natives of Buncombe and Mad ison. were enticed bv false promises to McDowell county to work for the South & Western Railway comi>any. ordered to work under conditions ma terially different from what they had been promised, that they who refused to work were beaten until they bled, told to leave and keep their mouths shut, and that others were guarded with Winchester rifles to prevent their escape. It is believed that this allegation of fact is nrecedent to damage suits that will he instiuted against th" rail- wav company by those who complain of peonage, and that steps have al ready been taken toward the insti tution of such suits. According to Evans’ story he and twelve other men went to work for the South & West ern between Marion and Spruce Pine in February of this year, and that when several of the party attempted H leave the day after they iiad gone to work- they were overtaken and forced to another camo and whipped. Evans’ statement is that Woodfln Wheeler, Chapel Wyatt and Charli.e Beekmen were the three men whip ped. A HOKE SMITH LANDSLIDE. White* Man Admits Selling His Moth- er-in-Law’s Horse for $10. Asheville. N. C.. Aug. 22—Ed. Fra- dy. & white man thirty-five years of age. was arrested in Cripple Creek last night bv Deputy Sheriff Lyerly charged with horse stealing. The warant for Frady’s arrest was sworn out by Mrs. R. J. Brack,ett the pris oner’s mother in-law. It seems that a short time ago the mother-in-law, Frady and his wife decided to leave Newport, Tenn.. for Asheville. Mrs. Brackett and Mrs. Frady came by railroad while Fradv was to* bring Mrs. Brackett’s horse through the country. Fradv arrived in due time but without the animal. Mrs. Brack ett Inquired of her son-in-law where the said horse might be and Frady answered by saying that the animal had died en route. Mrs. Brackett then desired some further informa tion relative to the saddle. Frady is alleged to have told her that he sold the saddle hut failed to produce the currency received by virtue of the sale. Mrs. Brackett was not satisfied with the explanations advanced by Fradv and had a warrant issued for his arrest charged with theft of the horse. When arrested Frady admit- t* ' that he had sold the horse He said that he received $lb for the ani mal; that the horse was about to die and that he thought the best thing to do was to get rid of it. He was land ed in jail, however, and will probably remain there until officers from Ten- n ssee arrive to take him to the State wherein his alleged crime was com mitted. It is said that Fradv sold the horse at Flag Pond, just across the North Carolina line in Tennessee. Aunt Dinah’s Silver Wedding. (Woman’s Home Opmpanion.) Old Dinah Jackson, the ebony-hued cook of the Blank family, came to her employer one day and said. “I is very sorry. Mis’ Blank, very sorry, but I cayn’t do out yo’ wash till Chewsday next week. I hope hit’ll be all de same to you.’’ "I suppose I’ll have to wait until Tuesday If you really cannot come on Monday, as usual; but it will be rath-’ er inconvenient for me to put off my washing to oblige you. Why cannot you come on Monday?” “Well, to tell de truf. I wants to celebrate my silvah weddin’ Monday, an’ I’ll be needed ter home ter git ready fo’ my comp’ny.” “Your sliver wedding? Why. Di nah. I had no idea that you and Mr. ’"ckson had been married twenty- five years." “Oh, we ain’t ter tell de ackshul truf; but, you see. I be’n mahled 'lev- e n yeahs ter Mistah Jackson, an’ I was mahled fo’teen yeahs ter my fust husband, an’ hit so happens dat Mis tah Jackson was mahled fo’teen yeahs ter his fust wife, and ’leven an’ fo’teen make twenty-five, so hit seems fa’r ’nough fo’ us ter celebrate our silvah weddin’, don’t hit?’’ The Georgia Primary Proves a One- Sided Affair. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 22.—The State Democratic primaries today resulted in a victory for Hoke Smith. Candi da*" for governor, unprecedented in the size of his majority.

For th** twenty-four months previous to m- taking charge of the office there was an expenditure of an indebted ness incurred for roads and chaii gang purposes of something over $28,- 000. I lay these figures before you th; you may think of them. Very truly yours. Wm. Phillips, County Supervisor. A Green Girl. Miss Jeanette L. Gilder, the editor of the Critic, tells an odd story of a green serving-maid: "The maid had just come over from Ireland, and Brooklyn woman engag ed her. A bell hung in the girl's room, and the morning after her ar rival her mistress rang this bell to get her up. “But the maid did not get up; though the bell rang and rang. Fi nally, therefore, the mistress herself rose, and slipping on a dressing gown, she hastened to the new servant’s room. "There, wide awake, the maid lay, laughing .it the top of he;* lungs. “ ’What on earth are you laughing at. Norah?” said the mistress. “ ‘Faith, mum,’ Norah answered, ‘Oi'm laughin’ at that bell.

There was a struggling writer in the front studio and a struggling ar tist in the back. The struggling ar tist was very nice to the struggling writer for a time. He even helped her wash her windows once. Then it came about that one Friday he saw that she had a well filled enve lope which contained some fives. “I wish," said he. “that you would lend me one of those fives. I’m hard up this week. I will pav you back next week.” The struggling writer knew all about those “next weeks” of the struggling artists. “I would,’’ said she. “but I am afraid I will lose your friendship if I do. Things like that have happened to me.” He looked at her sternly. "You’ll lose it if you don’t," said he and set his (''"th hard. “Well, anyway,” returned she, with a sigh. “I’ll save my five.” Thought It Was Time. The following is the latest on the seasick traveler: A disconsolate passenger was lean ing over the rail of the ship in great distress. He had been feeding the flishes but now he was simply wrenching his stomach with efforts to vomit, but brought nothing up be cause there was nothing left to bring. An Englishman was standing near- bv with a red handkerchief loosely hanging around his neck*. This handkerchief blew off the English man’s shoulders and blew against the sick man’s face as he was in a par oxysm of wrenching and straining to bring something up. As the handker chief fell he thought that was the re sult of the paroxysm and he said in apparent relief: “There goes my liver. I hope that’s the finish.” After twenty-one years of silence, Louis Mendelson. of Chicago, sudden ly recovered his power of speech and narked to his brother: “Is it hot enough for you?” With a Kentucky negro legally hanged within five minutes after a jury was empanneled to try him.
