A WIDOW'S WANT.
She Invltos PropoKixln for Her Fntr
Itand-
S n Krsnclsco Chronlclt.
The strpngth of the San Francisco
matrimonial market has been accur-
ntoly gauged at last. For many years
widows , maidens and all classes of
matrimonially inclined womanhood
have beliovcu tins city to bo the hii h
altar for hymeneal sacrifices. The
umber of bachelors \\t\s supposed to
M disproportionately largo , nml the
ihaiices for catching n husband hnvo
'ecu believed to bo accordingly favor-
iblo. Hut in the light of n Rincon
Hill widow's experience , this sup-
losod state of affairs does not exist ,
md bachelor quotations mustbomado
nuch higher hercaftor. On lost Sun-
ilay the following advertisement np-
icared in the "personal" column of
I'ho Chronicle :
WANTKH A respectable widow wniiU to
nake the ncnnalntnncc of n rcsix-ctablo
nan with n > low to Matrimony , ( . 'nil at
Utl llnrrisuii Direct.
It was to bo supposed nt least nil
e.xblo ladies did suppose
hut the scones in front of this enter-
irising widow's door would bo an in-
ensitied repetition of those which
n ere cnacttd when the man advertis
ed that ho wanted to buy a dog. But ,
strange to say , nothing of the kind
lapcned. No. 1)19 ) Harrison street
uilt on the side of n hill ; sloping
lown toward the water front. At
: ho lower corner n good naturcd fish-
nan keep a tavern. On Sun
day morning ho was sunniiu ;
uinsclf in trout of his door "Well , "
laid ho "what's them
, chaps mon-
coyin * round hero for ? That's the
'ourth man what's been askin' after
, ho numbers of the street. And they
ill go np tiio hill , and then they look
it that woman's house. What's this
! iur name is ? She's a widow , with n
loy and a H'1" ! ' "
IN QUEST Ol' THIS COTTAdE.
While ho was still talking another
limit had been edging up to the speak
er. "This is Harrison street.saiil
10. "It is , sir , " replied the saloon
man. "And which side is 31 ! ) on ? "
asked the now-comer. "Last house
up the hill on that side , " said the
jiustioncd one , pointing his hand.
Hut the inquirer did not profit by the
information , Ho ascended the hill on
; ho opposite side , apparently the least
concerned in ! ! 10 and its occupant ,
who might bo watching his ascent
hrough the closed blinds. When ho
irrivcd opposite ho halted and became
intensely interested in the landscape
around him. Next he began to examine -
ino his shoes. Ho turned around on
iis heel a few times and finally ho
seemed accidentally to discover that
lie stood opposite to 310. Ho looked
up and down the street in n shy way
i few times , and finally made straight
For the door. He ascended the stops
the guilty face of a criminal and
rang the bell as carefully as if ho were
handling u dynamite cartridge. The
door opened promptly and n little
_ irl was seen to admit the caller. Ho
; ud hardly disappeared from view
when gorgeous uniform of a police
oflicor hove in sight on the crest of
the hill. The reporter immediately
recognized him as F , the homeliest
man on the force. Oilicer F has
wanted a wife for many years , but his
lack of physical beauty is so great that
oven vantages he possesses in his
connection with the force has failed
to overcome the prejudices which the
belles of Tohaimi street nourish
against him. Olliccr F was gorge
ous in a bright uniform. His star
fihono like a Mastodon minstrel's diamonds
mends , and the new tassel which en
circled his lint glistened as if it belonged -
longed to a brigadier general ,
"is SHE A viyi : WOMAN ? "
He was just from the hands of his
barber. There was n suspicion of
powder to bo observed on his check ,
whenever the gravity of the situation
struck him strongly enough to sup
press the grin which hovered about
Ins mouth. Oilicer F inspected
the house apparently unconcerned.
Then ho proceeded to mentally photo
graph the surroundings , and seeing
the saloon-keeper still sunning him
self ho came down hill.
' "Fine morning , " said the oflicer.
"It is that , " answered the liquor-
sollor.
"You haven't road Tin1 Chronicle
this morning ? "
"No , sir , " said the man of bover-
\gcs. Thu olHcer smiled ns if ho had
been offered a treat. Then ho put
bis detective faculties , sharpened bv
six years' service on the force , to
wort. Ho gradually drew from the
wloon man the information of what
lie was in search of. No. 310 was in-
liabitodby a widow lady of uncertain
years , who rented rooms to lodgers.
Her family consisted of a son of 10
n daughter ot 13 , She was poor ,
but not in distress.
"Isn't she a fine woman ? " asked the
oflicnr
"That's how you take her , " came
the answer. "I don't know nothing
about the woman but what I've seen
of her on the street. Sure oho isn't
young , and she isn't old either. IJut
what's the matter with her ? Thoro's
half n dozen axing after her. "
The oflicor was silent.
"Oflicor , " said the reporter , "do
you want to answer the advertise
ment ? "
Ho grinned a ghastly grin , but did
not Jose his presence of mind alto
gether. "No , Mister , " said ho ; "I
thought there might bo a lot of fuss ,
becauro they'd nil want to go in first ,
So I lown to make
came ( thorn form n
line , but I guess they won't want
mo. '
When the reporter finished explaining -
ing to the saloon-knepor the interest
which was taken in No. 316 the otlicor
had vanished around the next corner.
A TALK WITH THE WIDOW.
Yesterday noon , when it might bo
reasonably supposed that thu stream
of aspirants for the widow's hand hud
ceased to flow , thu reporter called nt
the houno in question. Ho was ad
mitted by the girl who had opened the
door on the previous day , nnd who
asked him to step into the parlor.
The widow soon made her appearance.
Shu was a woman of middle ago ,
She was dreased cleanly but poorly ,
as wt-s also her daughter. The re
porter introduced himself , and begged
an explanation of thu advertisement.
"It means all it says , " said tin
widow. "I want to bring up my chil
dren as I was brought up myself
respectable - and 1 don't want to go
out to work nnd leave my daughter
at homo alone. If I can find a good
man I'd marry him , "
To the question , how many callers
ho had in answer to the advertise
ment , she replied , "Two ; ono was a
real nice gentleman , but the other
was tight , and I put him out. The
other ono promised to call again. "
It was evident that the woman was
In earnest. She protested that she
liad not boon driven to the slop she
took by poverty or want. She want
ed n husband , and , disdaining to em
ploy the usual means by which lh.il
irticlo is secured , she set about it in
the most public and straightforward
Nay imaginable , ns will bo scon by
[ ho above advertisement. She was
disappointed , however , in having but

How n Mail Goo * to Bo l-
Speaking of how a man goes to bed ,
in u.xch.uigo says :
"There's where a man has the ad
vantage. Ho can undress in a cold
room , and have his bed warm before a
woman has her hair-pins out nnd her
shoes untied. '
That is how it looks in print , and
this is how it looks in reality ;
" 1 am going to bed , my dear. It is
10:30. : " No reply. "Now , John , you
snow you are always late in the morn-
Ing. Do go to bed ! " "Yes , in a niin-
utu , " ho replies , as ho turns thopa-
[ ior wrong side out and begins it
lengthy artu-lj headed "The Louisiana
Muddle. " Fifteen minutes later she
calls from the bed-room ; " .John ,
como to bed and do not keep the gas
burning hero all night , " and murmur
ing something about the "bill being
Itig enough now , " she creeps between
the cold sheets , while John sits pla
cidly on , his foot ncross the piano-
stool , nnd a cigar in his mouth , liy-
and-by ho rises , yawns , stretches hint-
suit , throws the paper on thu floor ,
[ iroceeds to that vigorous exorcise ,
shaking the coal stove. Just at this
stage , a not altogether pleasant voice
inquires : "For pity's sake ! ain't yon
ready for bed yet ? " "Yes , yes , I'm
coming ! Why don't you go to sleep
nnd let n fellow alone ? "
Then ho discovered that there is
coal needed. When that is supplied
nnd rattled into the slovoho nits down
to warm his fool. Next ho slowly be
gins lo undress , and ns he slands
scratching himself , and absolutely
gazing on the last garment , dangling
over the back of the chair , ho remem
bers that the clock is not wound yet.
When this is attended to ho wants a
drink of water , and away he promen
ades to the kitchen. Of course , when
ho returns , his skin resembles that of
n pickled chicken , and once more ho
seats himself before the lire for the
last warm up. As the clock strikes
twelve , ho turns out the gas and with
a flop of the bed clothes and a few
spasmodic shivers ho subsides no ,
not yet ; ho forgot to see if the front
door was locked , and another flop
from the bedclothes brimjs forth the
remark : "Good gracious ! if that man
ain't enough to try the patience of
Job ! " Setting her teeth hard , she
awaits the final flopwith the accompa
nying blast of cold air , and then quiet
ly inquires if ho is settled for the
night , to which ho replies by mutter
ing : If you ain't the provokingest
woman !
BUGGY ELECTRICITY.
How n Briiuotto Yonup ; Mnu nnd a
Bloiido Girl Mny TJO Utilized.
ItallroaJ Aihurthur.
Since the electric light has proved n
success for lighting largo buildings , it
has occurred to a scientific man of this
city that electricity could bo used on
wheeled vehicles. Ho know by ex
perience that there was always more
or less electricity wasted for instance ,
when a young couple were out riding
so ho experimented. Those who
wore out on the Whitolish Bay road
last Sunday evening , may have been
astonished at the unusual light that
shone the whole length of the road ,
as a certain cairiago passed along ; and
they probably observed thu
fright of the two occupants of
the carriage. The scientist had
learned that n certain young man had
engaged a buggy at a livery stable for
the evening ; so lie bribed the livery
man to allow him to experiment on
the buggy. The young scientist put a
email electric lamp on the lower part
of the dashboard , out of sight of Iho
driver , nnd rnn small copper wires to
the back of the scat. It is well known
to the student of nature that when a
brunette young man nnd n blonde
girl , who net as the positive and the
negative , that is , ho is positive ho will
put his arm around her , nnd she neg
atives the arrangement along nt first ,
until nfter dark there is a certain
electric current established , small in
itself , but of great power if properly
husbanded. 'You have all felt it. Oh ,
don't blush. It is likoyourarm getting
asleep , or hitting your funny-bone on
the arm of n rocking chair. Well ,
this wire was placed so that the urnm
of the young people would touch it.
Just ns they wore passing Fitzgerald's
there by the toll gate , they began to
snug up , nnd before they got to Lou-
damans thu little lamp began to thnnv
out light. _ It went under the horses'
feet and lit up the road for several
rods , and the young people were al
most ns astonished as the horse was.
They thought there was somebody fol
lowing ( hem with a lantern , nnd they
straightened up nnd the light went out.
Kvery little while they would got near
together and kiss each other slyly and
( Kjueoi-o , and immediately the light
would blaze up. The girl was ruul
frightened , and insisted on the joung
man's ' sitting on his side of thebnguy ,
and ho was a little frifhloned the first
few times that the light flared up
but as ho came out to ling , lie was go
ing to hug , if it turned night into daj ;
so he wont to lying to her about thu
horse being n phosphoroushoreu. lie
said there were some horses so full of
phosphorous that when they got
warmed tip a little , from driving , they
shod light all around. Thou they
got nearer , and the electricity
again appeared , and for an hour
they rode along in the evening by
the bright light. The young scientist
passed thorn a number of times in an
other buggy , and ho is so well satis
fied with the experiment that ho will
apply for a patent. The young Judy
was very much annoyed at the queer
light , nnd , while she cannot say that
she did not enjoy the ride , she has re
quested her escort to be careful next
time when they go riding and not got
a phosphorous liorso. The young man ,
when ho got back to the stable , told
thu livery man that was the lightest
rig ho over drove , nnd ho wanted a
calcium light the next time ho took
his girl o'ut , They will know what
caused the light wlion they read this.
It is getting so there is electricity in
everything. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
LEADVILLE'S NEW SUNDAY.
* .
An Eniiro Ghiuigo ill the Carbon
ate Camp In the Observance
or the Salilmth.
Ivntor Tribune ,
Londvillo does not ninko so nnuTi
n isi in the world this season as she
lias done in days that are past , but she
is putting out quitu nsmuch bullion as
formerly , and , what many consider
lu'ttor , is improving in her moral tone ,
So marked has this improvement become
come ( hat the newspapers find it a
Riuirco of comment. The following
article , noting this change in the as
pect of affairs is from The Herald of
Sunday last , and is woith reading , as
01111 ; to show the dawn of an import
ant era and the passing away of Iho
old slate of affairs :
A Sunday in Leadvillo to-day is a
very dillerunl thing from what it was
two yeais or oven a year ago. At
that time the only distinction between
the days of the week was that on
Sunday , if anything , more business
was done , and the crowd on the
streets was greater. It was the day
generally selected for nil kinds of en
tertainments , nnd with the exception
of one or two modest congregations
that met for religious services wher
ever they could find n Bpato room ,
theie was little or no opposition to
thu attraction of the theaters and
billiard halls , Merchants nnd clerks
looked ionvard to it as a day of
extra long hours nnd hard work. At
the mines thu seven days were otto
and thu name , and the fashion which
they net was thu ono that generally ob
tained. The sound of church
bells would have been mistaken
for a lire alarm , so novel would it have
seemed , and oven the .strictestchurch-
1'ourn at homo kept tracks of the
( lays of the week merely by the aid
of the almanac. Gradually a few
leading merchants closed their doom
on Sunday , and its iuumrtancu as an
exceptional day of business began to
ileeline. Othura followed the example -
plo thus set. nnd a gradual reaction
set in , until many of the milieu dk-
coiitinuud nil work not absolutely nec
essary. Still the day remained more
of a holiday than ono of religious ob
servance , as in Iho freedom of a
Western minim. town it will always
remain to a greater or less extent.
During thu transformation the various
religious denominations had been or
ganizing and gaining Htrungth , and
soon the proverbial liberality of n
mining community was seen in the
number of handsome churches that
arose. Fortunately thuir pulpits
were filled with liberal-minded men
who could sympathize with the sonti-
menls and roughcustoms of a now com
munity , and were thus nblo io oxer-
ciu an influence that would otherwise
have been but little felt , and .1 the
idea of npnslorprcHidmgovora dancing
party among his parishioners seems a
little too liberal to some of the good
conservative people in the east , they
must remember the story of Mahomet
and the mountain , a well as the
greater freedom nnd liberality of
v.-estern and especially mountain cus
toms and ideas. Practical , common
scnso preaching and earnest parochial
work have built np largo and healthy
congregations , and when the church
boll rings this morning the Sabbath
quiet of the streets and thu throngs of
well dressed nnd intelligent-looking
peoplu wending thuir way to church ,
will bear witness that the orthodox
Sunday has at last reached Leadville.
Tbo Mon "Who Snooood
Now Vork Olmcrt ut.
The great difference among men , of
all callings , is energy of character or
the want of it. Given the same
amount of learning and integrity , and
the same opportunities , ami energy
will make ono man a conqueror. The
want of it will sue the other a failure.
Dead-beat are nil mon without force.
They find as good n chnncu ns nny ol
theircompanions. Others went ahead
and carried off the prizes , while they
wore lying by the wayside , dwpinleil
and despondent. It takes nerve nnd
him , porsurvcrnnco , patient continu
ance in woll-doieg , to win a greii (
prize. And the young man who goes
into n profession without this pluck
nnd forcu wil.l not earn salt to his
porridge. Ho will drat' along throng ]
life with the holn of friends , getting
some credit with them for being i
well-meaning man , in delicate healtl
nnd unlucky. The real trouble is ho
lacks energy. This is just as true o
the minister as of thu lawyer or phy
Biciati. 1'ioty is not enough , and piet ;
with much learning is not enough
All thu Greek ami Hebrew in the
world will not qualify a man for use
fulness in the ministry. It wunti
nush , stamina , vigor , courage , resolu
tion , will , determination - in ono word
energy. If thu youth knows n litth
Greekj ho knows what en ergon means
and without it Dr. Parr's knowledge
of Greek will not help him to useful
ness or success in thu pulpit.
