rrmohta. lived In atata at the old Brant
home mi ('hontati avenue, which I now
frf'tn torn down, and It waa here that
Orneral Frrrnont made hi hradquartera
durlnc the war. II waa at thla house alio
1fil I'rlnre Napoleon ret'irned the offlrlal
rail of the general on the occasion of hla
left in thla fltv. In the beydey of her
htiahand' fame Mr. Fremont waa the cen
ter of a little court of Ht. Loula aoclety
over which aha queened It with all the
lf llllanry and grar which waa her
naturallly Mra. Fremont, after ber re
mot I from nt. Ioul. made a rumber of
vlalta to the arrnra of her early girlhood
and later aucceaaea In the aoclety of the
city d-irlng h"r married life, and alwava
entertained a tender recollection of the
city wbera her father bad made hi bom
for ao many yeara.
"My couafn, Mra. Jeaale Benton Fre
mont," enld Mr. Cable, quoted by the fit.
Loula Olohe-Demorrat, "waa a woman of
tba greaf'at personal charm and brilliancy.
Well educated, beautiful and of atrong, al
moal maarultne mind, aha waa at the aaoie
time a woman of the greateat vivacity and
a charming conversationalist. She waa
poaaeaaed of the broadeat Information and
reading and of a decided literary bent, and
had Inherited much of the fire of geniua of
her brilliant father. Senator Benton, with
whom aha would hold long conversations on
topics of Interest to him. Her powers of
mind fitted her to lead armies or to shine
a the leader of a brilliant salon, and her
observations, aa expressed In her corro
apondenre from Washington, were most In
tertitlDg and keen. She waa a woman of in
domitable courage and spirit and Intensely
devoted to ber husband, defending him on
all occasions from the attacks of hla
enemiea with her pen and Influence. Her
loyrlty to General Fremont did -not cease
with hla death, for aha ever held hla
memory sacred and waa Jealous of hla
fame.
"It waa once aald of her by someone who
waa not friendly to her husband, when he
waa In the aenate, that hla wife wrote hi
apeechea and he spoke them. Of course thla
waa not literally true, but I have no doubt
that Mra. Fremont waa of the greateat help
to ber huaband In hla public career. Gen
eral Fremont waa n man of a certain tim
idity and shyness, while hla wife waa more
masterful and forceful In her nature. Of
ber life in St. Loula I can only apeak by
family tradition, but I know that In the In
tervale of her school days she spent many
happy daya here, of which ahe has given
I Jesse Benton Fremont.
' eome account In aome of her various writ
ings." When she Joined her husband In Cali
fornia, Mrs. Fremont, accustomed to every
luxury and refinement of society, had a
taste of the roughtest pioneering. De
tained for nearly two months In Panama,
he suffered from the deadly climate, and
San Francisco's winds added a cough to the
weakness of lunga which waa the result of
the Panama Illness, and Mra. Fremont waa
taken to Monterey for aofter air.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Fremont waa cast
log about for a home for his young wife
and family. He placed $3,000 hla all in
the handa of a trusted friend to buy a
place In San Joae, while he waa off on a
government expedition. He returned to find
the friend bad bought the San Joae place
for hlmaelf, and Inveated Fremont'a money
In land ta Mariposa county. Into thla wild
country the little family was forced to go.
The land proved to be rich In mineral
wealth and from poverty they were raised
In a tew yeara to a position of wealth, and
they returned to New York, where by un
fortunate Investments the money was lost.
Many beautiful treasurer are enshrined
In the Fremont eoitage in Los Angelea,
among them a collection of authentic
Bonaparte aouvenirr, which was bequeathed
to Oeneral and Mrs. Fremont by their old
friend the Count de la Garde, who made
hla collection In Paris from the days of
the first consulate. The souvenirs are
portrait at different epochs In the life of
Josephine and Napoleon, and othera, with
also many valuable autographic lettera.
There are alao mementos of the general,
the sword and belt presented to him at
Charleetown on hla return from hla Call
fornla achievements of 1846. Other treaa
ures are here, which have ever been prec
ious to Mra. Fremont in thla, the latter
part of her life in California.
Mrs. Fremont was a writer of note; her
books have been "The Story of the Guard,"
"A Year of American Travel," "Fair West
Sketches." "Souvenirs of My Time,
"Sketch of Senator Benton" and "Will and
the Way Stories."
The Injury which made her lame during
her last three years waa due to a character
istic bit of Imprudence. She felt so lively
one day In her 75th year tbat to demon
rtrate to some young glrta- how light she
still was on her feet, ahe began to dance
around the room on a waxed Boor. She
failed to reckon with the rugs and, stepping
on one of these, she was thrown violently
and dislocated her hip Joint. This forced
her to live In a wheel chair, but It did not
Impair her mental keenness. All visitors
of prominence to Los Angtles were sure to
call upon Mrs. Fremont. There she re
ceived callers with the dignity of a queen,
and hundreds doubtless recall her fine face
with the brilliant eyes that age and sorrow
could not dim.

Underground Waters
Instructive Results
of an Official Investigation.
Prof. Charlea 8. Sllchter of tba United
Ktataa geological survey. In n monograph
entitled. "Tba Motion of Underground
Water." aaye tba amount of water beneath
tba crust of -tba earth la enormous, amount
ing to 86.000,000 cubic yarda.
Ilia estimate la based upon tha aup posi
tion that lbs average depth which watera
ran penetrate benaath the surface la all
mile below the land and Ave mllea below
tb ocean floor. Thla vaat accumulation, If
placed npon the eartb. would cover Ita en
tire aurfaee to a uniform depth of from .
1,000 to 1,500 feet. Voder tha Influence of
gravitation tba water la generally In mo
tion and the object of Prof. Bllcbtar'a paper
la to describe the rate and manner of It
overflow and tb lawa governing tha same.
Es pertinents have shown tbat not only do
ssntls and gravels possess porosity, but
rocks presumably solid and compact may
be traversed by water. (Even ao bard
rock aa Montelio granite selected for the
areepbgu of the tomb of General Orant
on account of 'Ita great strength, shown a
pireaity of k.M per oent. The roost pro
ductive water bearing rocks, however, are
found to be the poroue aandatonea and In
ln rsaes limestones whose Inner texture
bus bee a chemically dissolved. The popular
Ida of underground watera la derived from
the rlvrra of coploua discharge found In
lha Mammoth and other cavea. But thla
Me Is erroneous, aa such streams, though
of great local Importance, are compara
tively rare. The great mass of ground
water slowly percolate through sand and
gravel depoalta. aandatonea and other po
rous malarial ander a wtda extent of terri
tory. Though la motion carries It but a
frartlna) ot a mile In a year, tbla ground
water la so widespread aad often ao ac
cessible a to be of the greateat econeml
Importance).
The rat of movement of tha underflow
has keek tb sabject of long and careful in
vestigation. To determine thla Interesting
ejaewilon measaremente have) keen made la
Ike river gravels of streama wnea surface
low have ceased and from such meaaurw
aeain more or lews trnei worthy results
bave be a attained. One of tke meet ac
curate and Interesting of these Is a series
ot experiments conducted by Prof. Sllchter
along the valley of the Arkansaa river in
western Arkansaa. The method is an elec
trical one. A double row of Inch aLd a
quarter driven wells I sunk across the
channel of the river whose underflow la to
be teated. The upstream wells are then
charged with a atrong electrolyte which
dissolves and passes down the stream with
the moving water. The passage of the
electrolyte toward the lower well I shown
by the gradual movement of the needle of
an electrical Instrument and the final ar
rival at the well ia shown by a audden and
atrong deflection of the needle.
It la exceedingly Interesting to watch the
gradual movement of the water which ran
be traced from the beginning of the experi
ment In thla Indirect way. By thla method
the rate of flow ten feet below the bed of
the Arkansas river was found to be two
and a half per day. Other experiment In
the bed ot the Hondo and San Gabr'el
rlvera In southern California gave ratea ot
H. 4. 6H and 7 feet per day.
The knowledge of the underflow that ex
ists ben-ath the gravel ot all river valleys
has been taken advantage of In arid sec
tions of the west, where the running dry of
streama deprive Irrigator of their water
aupply. By excavating to bed rock in river
gravela and building an Impervious barrier
across the channel these underground
watera are aaved In sufficient quantttlea to
be of great value to the farmer. A notable
aubaurface dam of thla kind haa been con
atructed on the Pacoima creek, Cal., to fur
nish water for Irrigation and domestic use.
Deep tones of flow are a moat important
feature of the movementa of underground
watera and open up an interesting field for
Investigation. The wonderful artesian baain
of North and South Dakota, which baa
proved auch an important factor In the
economic development of these states, forms
one of the illustrations used by Prof.
Sllchter In the explanation of deep-aeated
underflows. A cross section of this part of
the country clearly ahowa the Interesting
fact tbat tha water which cornea to the aur
faee in the gushing wells of the Dakotas
travels underground all the way from the
Black Hills and Rocky mountain slopes, In
the water-bearing strata known aa the Da
kota sandstones. Another Illustration of
extensive baslna due to deep underground
flows Is found in Wisconsin, where an
extensive area of water-bearing rocks,
nearly 1,000 feet thick, conducta water ot
singular purity under large area of the
atate.
It must be borne In mind that there I a
limit to the amount of water which can be
drawn from an artesian basin, and that
there la no auch thing as an inexhaustible
underground supply. The gradual failure
of the wells which supply the city of Den
ver clearly illustrates this fact. So great
a demand was made upon this basin be
tween the years 1884 and 18!0 that It baa
been eatlmated that it all the wells were
now plugged the water-bearing strata of
the basin would require forty years to re
cover the saturated conditions which ex
isted when the first well was sunk.
In the eastern part of the country the
value and extent of underground watera are
Illustrated by the enormous quantity used
in the city of Savannah, Ga. In 1888 the
entire supply of the city was drawn from
wells yielding 5,850,000 gallons a day, a
total for the year of 2,135.843,000 gallons.
In the course of time this supply some
what diminished and It waa suspected that
the flow was obstructed In its entrance to
the wells. The pipes were accordingly
flushed by forcing Into them water under
high pressure, and the flow was markedly
Improved.
The study of underground water In its
relation to the effective water supply of the
corntry Is one of the moat Important de
partments ot the work of the United Statea
geological survey. It Is carried on In the
arid regions, where water for irrigation is
of the greatest value; In the middle west,
where grating and successful farming
largely depend upon It, and In the east,
where an unpolluted aupply for domeatlo
and municipal use la yearly becoming a
- more serloua problem.

REJECTED,
W. A. COOK, Me D.
Some time ngo a Bpntlcmnn applied for nn insurance policy, but upon
examination the compauy phynielnu detected a varicocele and he was re
jected. Later he became a patient of mine, was entirely cured and obtained
his Insurance. I can show a number of instances where young men were for
a time prevented from entering the United Rtntes Navy on this account, who
afterward took my treatment and were accepted as sound as a dollar. When
a mnu Is treated for
Blood Poison, Varicocele, Piles,
Rupture, Lost Manhood or
Reflex Disorders.
these ore the kind of cures he wants, and the only kind that are worth even
the small charge I make for them. After experimenting with various pre
tenders and accepting their extruviigent claims as fattts only to bo doc-elved,
thousands of sufferers from the above conditions have finally thrown their
electric belts, lotions and "stomachs washes' lu a rear room or alley, and ac
cepted their condition as incurable. The gallons of medicines, trusses .belts,
etc., were all "warranted to cure," but when their stomachs llnally revolted,
found their health und general condition much worse than before. They havo
expended hundreds of dollars without any permanent benefit, have lost con
fidence In their fellow men aud despaired of ever being cured. These canes I
specially solicit patients who have been unsuccessful In their search for a cure; men who realize the seriousness of
their condition and will appreciate successful consientlous treatment and n xrmaucnt cure.
For many years I have made a special study of the treatment of CHRONIC ANl XKRVOU8 DISEASES of
men, and over ten thousand cured patients will gladly testify to my skill, honesty and success. Holh rich und
poor alike receive my very best services, and lutsead of scattering my thoughts and experience over the whole
field of medicine and surgery, I have found myself vastly more proficient by adhering strictly to my own special
line of (II weases. My method of treating Varicocele is entirely painless antl devoid of danger: It has nil the advan
tages of the radical snrglctil oierutlou, with none of Its many disadvantages. It compares with the old-time treat
ment as the electric light doe to the candle. It Is a duty you owe yourself and family to be cured of this dread
disease. From actual experience I aiu in a position to offer you the quickest, safest and most reliable cure obtain
able. ;
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Men many of yon In your very prime, when you should be enjoying all the pleasures of life, find yourself
broken down In health and prematurely old. I want every man who feels that he Is not up to the proper standard
of health to consult me. I will gladly explain to you the true nature of your condition and describe fully the system
of treatment I will use In restoring you to a healthful state. My treatment acts by correcting nil defects and the
symptoms which unfit you for business and the plea mires, of life will 1k entirely and permanently removed.
Most cases can be treated successfully at home. One personal visit is preferred, but If It is Inconvenient
you to call nt my office write me a full and unreserved history of your case, plainly stating your symptoms,
correspondence will be In plain, sealed envelope, and physicians having slubltom cases to treat tiro cordially
vlted to consult me.
