There is an elderly resident of Brook'

Scotch and English writers through his
intimacy with the head of a large pub

his pocket and tenderly dust his roil of

Tlie Why and Wherefore.
There 5s nothing marvelous in the
fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla should
cure so many diseases. When you
remember that a majority of the dis
orders "flesh is heir to" are due to
impure or poisonous condition of the
blood, and that Hood's Sarsaparilla
is an effective and radical purifier, the
whole thing is explained. -
Besides its blood purifying quali
ties, 1 Hood's Sarsaparilla also con
tains the best known vegetable stom

and liver invigorants. and is thus an

Bank Tax Debate Still on In the House,
And no End Yet Spied Trojan Horse
Embarrassingly Springs up
la tbe Senate End.
vvashisotos, June 4. I he end of the
debate on the bill to repeal the lawtax-
ing the issues of state and other banks
and associations is not yet in sight in
the house, although an effort will be
made today to draw it to a close. It
has been the desire of Speaker Crisp
and other democratic leaders, especial
ly those interested in the management
of the appropriation bills, that today
should see tta close of the general de
bate on the bill and there has been the
work of bringing in an order from the
committee on rule to that effect. But
that has been opposed by the republi
cens, who f?ant the debate to exhaust
itself and by a number of democrats,
of whom Messrs. Rayner of Maryland
and Harter of Ohio are types. The
former opposes repeal and the latter
f ayors it, but both agree that discus
sion should proceed two weeks at least,
as in their opinion that period of time
sould be profitably spent in considera
tion of the subject. That the time
would be occupied, is proved by the
length of the list of those who have
asked Chairman Richardson for time
in which to speak. It is probable that
the orc.er referred to will be reported
by the committee on rules during the
day to test the question. If it shall be
agreed to, it will be taken to mean that
the repeal . bill will paf a; if it shall
be defeated, the fate of the bill be to
be "talked to death." In that event
the executioners may consent to re
duce the limit within which to perform
;hat duty and end the matter within a
day or two.
When the state bank tax bill shall
have been disposed of, the Indian ap
propriation bill will be taken up. An
an usually long discussion of its pro
visions is anticipated, because of the
many radical changes Mr. Holman has
introduced into the MIL Next in or
der, of general legislation, will be the
general deficiency bill for the year
jnding the 30th instant, which will
have been reported to the house in the
meantime.
The Week In the Senate.
Two months of tariff debate have
passed in the senate an d the end is not
yet within telescopic v sion. Republi
can senators stated ter days ago that
I he close of this present week would
Snd the sugar schedule still undisposed
Df. The course of events in connec
tion with the facts elicited by the sugar
trust investigation of the special com
mittee as tax as that investigation has
proceeded, and the facts which it is ex
pected will be developed in the further
sessions of that committee seem to
make it possible that this threat may
be verified. Some of the leaders on the
republican side insist that the vote can
not with decency be taken on the su
jar schedule until the investigation into
the allegations of improper - influence
to secure the adoption of that schedule
tiave been disposed of. Several of the
populist senators and also Mr. Hill are
an record as favoring this view. The
solid republican vote and the populists
jr most of them, it is expected, will
rally to the support of Mr. Mandersons
proposed amendment to retain the
bounty on domestic sugar instead of
paying an increased tax on the impor
ted product. Mr, Harris, the chosen
j j japtain of the democratic cohorts on
of an intention to force the fighting.
It is understood that the republicans
tvill not oppose an extension of the
session to something like 8 o'clock; but
carious threats are made as to what
eoarse may be pursued if Mr. Harris
it tempts to urge what the republicans
Ball "Extraordinary measures." The
tactics pursued by the republicans last
week, were successful in drawing out
1 number of democratic senators and
it is understood the same policy will be
jontinued this' week, with the hope
that the democrats will be compelled
to participate in the debate.
The fifteenth of June, at which
time ts democrats have said the bill
would pass, is not very distant but there
seems little chance of a final vote by
that time. It can be said with absolute-
certainty that the sugar schedule will
aot be dropped until the republicans
have had an opportunity to discuss the
testimony taken by the investigation
committee.
There is another matter that will
tend to prolong this debate about which
nothing has heretofore been said but
which will probably come to the front
very soon.
An amendment to the bill will be in
troduced probably this week which
provides for the repeal of ten per cent,
bank tax This may prove an embar
rassing "Trojan horse" in the camp.
It is argued that such an amendment
would be quite as pertinent to a" tariff
bill as the income tax sections especial
ly as the repeal of this tax was one of
the democratic platform pledges.

Weather That Made the Old Man Call on
the Weather Dispenser.
While the rain was doing its level j
best the other afternoon a moist little
old man with two umbrellas and a
"grim" coat dashed into the Mills build
ing. . Water dripped from the elevator
all the way up to the tenth floor, and
when the little man. splashed into the
weather-works at the end of the hall
the curl came out of B. S. Pague's mus
tache. -
"Where's the fellow that did this?''
demanded the little man, glaring sav
agely around the room.
"Did what?" inquired Mr. Pague, in
his best meteorological tone of voice.
"Pulled the plug out of theky."
"You mean the shower. Oh, that's a
little dash of precipitation we throw in
once in awhile to equalize the climate.
It ' makes the farmers jubilant, you
know" .
"Oh, does it?" said the little man,
smiling sarcastically.' "Perhaps you
don't stand in with those people, who
sell fifty-cent umbrellas in the hall
ways." -
"Sir! How dare you!"
"Keep your hair on, professor," broke
in the visitor, as he stepped out of the
puddle that dribbled from the' tail of
his "gum" coat.
"You're running this job, are you
not?" '
"Well, yes," Mr. Pague confessed
with becoming modesty. "I'm at the
head of the bureitu. Would you like
to look at some of our weather samples
for the fall and "
"You predicted fair weather for to
day, didn't you?" persisted the little
man, who was beginning to breathe
hard.
The head of the bureau looked out at
the unbroken streaks of wet driving
obliquely across the window and
glanced musingly at a large tissue
paper chart with red spots on it. Then
he made some figures on the margin
with a blue pencil and started in to ex
plain: "Of course the low pressure in the

barometer, naturally has a tendency to

The head of the bureau reluctantly
admitted that to the best of his knowl
edge and belief this was San Fran

"And are you our regular ' licensed
predicter?"
"I am."
"Well, don't you know that we. have
a ball game here every Sunday and
that a storm like this is in direct oppo
sition to the wishes of the people?"
"Storm? Why, up in Oregon, where
I came from, thiey "
"Oregon b blowed! This, is San
Francisco, where we know what weath
er is. Do you'mean to say that you came
here from Oregon and went to monkey
ing with the valves without asking us
what we wanted?"
"It looks that way," replied Mr.
Pague, beginning to feel uneasy."
"How long have you been here?"
"About two weeks." -
"Are you the one ivho uncorked the
cyclone that blew the 1 shingles off the
ships and things last week?" demanded
the little man, grasping his umbrella
firmly by the handle.
Pague glanced around for the police
call, but it was in the other room.
"Who are you?" he asked, in order to
gain time.
"I'm a tax-payer in the city- and
county "of San Francisco that's what I
am," the little man yelled, as he slap
ped himself on the chest, "and I'll write
a piece to the papers about the incom
petency in the weather department.
Great Scott ' Who ever saw the like?
Its an outrage, sir, I'll report you to
the the-er I'll report you anyhow.
What condition do you expect the
ground tobe in for the foot-ball match
next Thursday, if you keep on with
your infernal deluge ! Fair weather,
indeed, and six inches of mud and water
everywhere. I'll be teetolly dad binged
if I don't "
"It is a very difficult matter, I find,"
said Mr. Pague, "to satisfy everybody
in this business. Some want drought
and some want rain, while others again
send in orders for wind. There was
nothing in this little shower to excite
anyone, but perhaps I am too well ac
customed to moisture after living so
long in a country where the ducks roost
on the trees nine months in the year.
"However, I have ordered out a line
of nice, fair weather, with diamond
clouds and a thread of sunshine in it,
for to-morrow. After arranging clear
weather for to-day, I changed my mind
last night and decided to wring out a
couple of damp clouds. The storm was
originally moving eastward, and had it
continued that course to-day would
have been clear. But it fell in with a
cold wave coming this way and we
couldn't separate them. From Wednes
day night until two o clock this after
noon the rainfall has amounted to three
and four hundredths inches, but is all
over now." San Francisco Chronicle.
- Mountain Peculiarities.
: Mountain ranges of great height al
ways arrest the passage of clouds and
rain. Within and about the tropics
these are borne from the east by the
trades, and generally the windward
slope of the mountains is- fertile bar
rier, while the leeward slope is a bar
ren desert." So it is in many parts of
Peru and Chili, on the west of the An
des, while on the east there are virgin
forests and the wildest and most luxuri
ant vegetation. To some extent I have
noticed these conditions in the little
island of Jamaica, where, behind some
lofty peak, there exists a tract of coun
try utterly barren, where rain seldom
f alfs, while only thirty or forty miles
away showers occur every few minutes
the . year round, keeping . the earth
drenched with moisture and causing
the most luxuriant vegetation. Gold
