FISHERMAN CAN NOW CAST FLIES FOR TROUT fflTS* HE open season for trout fishing be- «iv Kan on Thursday and already a jlfp great many of the lovers of this genuine and exciting sport have left for their favorite streams. , Contiguous to San Francisco, so near in fact that a day's fishing is always accessi- ble, there are numberless streams that abound in trout. In all those streams that flow from the western slopes of Tamalpais fishing of the most exhilarating character is to be had by those who have the right either from ownership or as a mem- ber of the Country Club, which as lessees jealously exclude the public from a great tract which affords probably the finest trout-fishing in the vicinity of San Fran- cisco. There are, however, numberless atieams in Marin and Sonoma counties which are distant but a few hours' travel by rail and afford rare sport- The Lagunitas and its affluents on the North Pacific Coast is a splendid stream open to all, and is very popular with local fishermen. Almost every mile or two there is to be found hotels of the most satisfactory character.where the weary can find comfortable quarters and secure rest and refreshments after the bard day's tramp over the rocks and through the tangled brush. The skillful angler is sure of a good basket on the Lagunitas. A few .miles un the road are the San Antonio and Estero Americano creeks, which have been especially stocked, and during the right stage of the water the trout run in myriads. Valley Ford and Tomales. both thriving little towns, are the headquarters of many sportsmen who have tramped over this ground for years. Duncans Mills, at the crossing of Rus- sian River, is the center of a fine trouting district and is a popular point of depart- ure. Austin Creek with its tributaries is one of the finest trout sections to be found in the State, though not so accessible as others. Cazadero is the terminus of the : railroad, and the center of the Austin Creek region. The mountains begin tb grow in altitude here and every valley has its stream, which, flowing from great heights, the waters are clear and cold— the ideal home of tbe trout. At Cazadero the stages tbat penetrate into the Gualala River country begin. This is the finest trout section of all Cali- fornia. The Gualala flows for fifty miles parallel with the ocean, and from the east receives a number of streams just filled with trout. The middle fork of the Gua- lala gathers from a hundred mountain rivulets and offers splendid sport for those of adequate physical endurancewhile Buck- eye and Kockpile Creeks are about as good. \u25a0 These streams are rarely fished, and the trout inhabiting tbem are large and gamy, but no one ou_ht to penetrate into this region unless he is prepared to endure and spend at least a week without other occupation. There are any number of little hamlets where creature comforts can be bad, and at all the farmhouses a hearty welcome is as- sured to those disposed to reciprocate. To the visitor the advice is given not to go into this sparsely settled portion of So- noma without being fully equipped. A portion of the State that has ever been a favorite resort of anglers is where the Russian River has its source, in Men- docino County. It is calculated that in the river and its tributaries there are over 200 miles of stream tbat simply abound in trout. Private enterprise, with a view of en- couraging fisherman traffic, has stocked these waters with millions of young trout during the past two years, and reports are unanimous that more trout are now to be seen in these streams than ever before. Hundreds of anglers are preparing for a jaunt to some of these points, and to-day will witness crowded trains and merry passengers. The copious rains of the past winter have filled many of the trout streams to the banks, and it is expected that the early fishing will not be as fruit- ful in big catches as a little later on. The cream of the sport will be in May, when the waters are neither too high nor too low—ju t about the right sta_e. FROM GREATHER NEW YORK Budget of Interesting NeWs and Qossip About the California Golony in tne Eastern Metropolis NEW YORK, N. V., March 30.— "Where are you going this summer?" Easterners begin to ask each other that question before the snow is melted away from shady nooks and when great chunks of river ice are bumping and fighting their way to the sea. The trees are still bare and brown, but the little waxy buds of promised leaves are silent signals that spring will soon be with us. However.it teems strange to a Californian to hear the typical New Yorker planning for the summer months before daisy-starred spring swoops down over us. Lent is swinging along in a jolly little manner, and many pretty luncheons and lavender teas are beingcecorded as unu- sually delightful. There have been a half dozen different sorts of shows for charity and private gain. Perhaps the most pop- ular affair among the lovely ladies of the 450 was the doll show, which took place last week at tue Waldorf. Dolls, however beautiful they may be, look absolutely funny when rigged out in the finery my lady Dame Fashion dictates that human dolls shall wear from season to season. The dollies at the "Waldorf made a very dignified showing, however, and though their little arms would appear angular and their staring eyes seem actu- ally impertinent at times they served the purpose of illustrating the remarkable in- genuity and taste of our American tailors and modistes. . Three of the leading Broadway theaters have changed their bills during the past week. The Bostonians— "the only and original"— opened at the Knickerbocker Monday night in their new opera, "The Serenade." It has proven an instanta- neous success, and nothing the Bostonians bave given us since "Robin Hood" has met with such -an enthusiastic reception. At Waiiack's a musical skit called "Miss Manhattan" has not met with the popularity that has been looked for. It is tue regulation potpourri of the regulation comic opera. A dash of ginger and a long wait between courses, old jokes with new caps and' bells, and new jokes a wee bit timid as to how they will be gobbled by the patient public just across the foot- -1,V38p i pWSß_H_W^..%\>7v-.-'7:- Miss Manhattan may be an acquired taste, and New Yorkers may like her bet- ter when they grow mor. familiar with her. -.. The Broadway Theater has jumped out of the rut of everlasting burlesque and comic opera, and is for the nonce the home of classic and artistic drama. "L'Arlesienne" (The Woman of Arle) is at present attracting the attention of the critics and students of drama. .Written by the unhappy Alphonse Dau- det itis necessar.ly a gloomy and somber story, but nevertheless it throbs with the tenderness ot an anxious mother's love and palpitates with human passions. To add to the artistic triumph the play and its perfect Arcadian scenery, there is the dominant spirit of music sounding through every scene. The original :entr'acte mu- sic by Georges Bizet is used as interpreted by the great leader Anion Seidel and his assistant, Ernest Meyer. The music, with its passionate languor- ous strains, its deep swelling notes of anger and /revenge, and at last the . crash . of sound concordant, commingling life, love, misery and tragic death, .is marvelous. The last curtain falls on a dismal scene, and the audience stumbles out on noisy Broadway wondering why life isn't all "beer and skittles," as the late lamented Trilby expressed it. 7 . \u25a0That powerful actress, Agnes Booth, as the mother InL'Arlesienne, gives a new and subtle depth to the pure and toituring loVt. "i suffering motherhood. Charles M. Kent, wbor.*i San Franciscans will remember as the virile actor of power and dignity, plays the part of the old shepherd, Balthazar. His work is masterly, and at moments mounts to grandeur. Mr. Kent's hair is growing as white as carded wool. In the days when he used to play at Stock well's Theater folks wondered at his eld hair and youthful face. hat would tbey -ay now? J. G. Mallory of San Francisco arrived at the Gllsey House on Monday. He will be in the city a week more. . . Hon. Harrison Gray Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times, left for his southern home last Saturday. He has had a long visit in and about New York, and will re- turn to California with renewed forces and pleasant memories of a very enjoyable eventful Rejourn in Eastern cities. Colonel Z. S. S. Sailing has been a guest at the Holland during the past ten days. He will probably start West this week. George M. Bowman and Mrs. Bowman of San Jose have been having a very pleasant and interesting visit since their arrival in New York, the 18th inst. ' As manager of the celebrated Golden Gate Fruit Packing Company Mr. Bow- man's engagements have been such as to keep him on the constant move since his arrival in Gotham. Like all Westerners, he does not believe in all work and no play, there- fore he and Mrs. Bowman have have had several pleasant days down at Old Point- Comfort, and almost every evening has found them enjoying one of the theaters or vaudeville performances during their New York visit. Mr. and Mrs. Bowman have not decided at what time they will return to Cali- fornia. Mrs. Janet Hacdonald, who came on here several months -ago to lecture on California scenery and California prod- ucts, will shortly re '.urn to her. home in San Francisco, where she hopes to regain her health and strength. Mrs. Macdona'.d has had more than her share of ill-fortune since her arrival in New York early in the winter. The severe weather combined with a se- rious attack of rheumatism confined her to her room for many weeks. Sue had no more than recovered from her- painful rheumatic siege than she was seized with an aggravated case of snow- blindness. Owing to her weakened condition she has b*?en unable to keep any of her lecture en- gaji« ments, and wisely bus concluded to return to her home in the land of golden poppies and orange sunshine. The other afternoon 1had the pleasure of seeing two well-known and prominent Californians meet unexpectedly, and the erecting they gave each other was delight- fully refreshing 'to witness. One was J. B. Randall of "San Francisco, president of the First National Bank in; San Jose, and the other was E. S. Sanford, a fruit-grower and financier of San Jose. ' They had a jolly little talk and they strolled up Broadway for a few. blocks, and suffice to say that a very cold bottle and : the _ necessary adjuncts followed the happy meeting. " Mr. Randall anticinates remaining for some time in New York. . He has been from the West but a short time. - '\u25a0'•> Mr. Sanford will-start* homeward the first week in*April. He declares . that he is restless to get . back to 4 •paradise," for that iiwhat he calls Santa Clara Valley, and he must return before the : fruit " blos- soms ; arc .-'wafted ;. away on the V spring breezes. Few of Mr. Sanford' s friends in California know that he has a magnificent home here in New York on Sixty-eighth street, near Fifth avenue, which he keeps closed the greater part of the year. To see him driving through the park behind a spanking pair, and a coachman and footman on the box, one would almost be led to believe that the quiet, affable gentleman of San Jose was in a way trav- eling incog, while cultivating fruit in his jaradise— Santa Clara Valley. B___B Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Cromwell are guests at the Holland. L. L Scott arrived in town on Satur- day. Joseph Sloss of San Francisco reached the city on Saturday and registered at a Fifth-avenue hotel. Great preparations are going on to make the anniversary of General U. S. Grant's birthday memorable in the history of the Nation. On the 27th of April the magnificent tomb and sarcophagus will be dedicated to the State of New York, and military com- manders with their companies will come from far and wide to attend the imposing ceremonies. President McKinley will be present in state and nothing so grand will have been seen since the century began. 34 Park row. Tbella Foltz Tolahd. A Marriage of Eternity "Ashes to ashes— ashes to immortality." These words were spoken, half audibly, by an aged man who stord on a bridge looking at the grotesque figures made by the moonlight on the rippled river a few- feet beneath him. He looked very in- tently at the silvery water with the view of one expecting to see something. He was expecting to see something, and his expectation was one of years. Several times he had almost persuaded himself that his hope was to be realized ; as many times had he been disappointed. A whirlwind of thought rushed through his brain. A suggestion came to him un- bidden. It had come to him before and had been just as often repelled. This nieht it refused to depart. It demanded satisfaction and the man could not some- how summon the usual strength to aid him in shaking off the slavery that he realized he was enduring. Should he take the plunge? That only could satisfy. With an effort that shook his whole frame he moved from the bridge, thinking to himself, "Ashes to ashes— to perfection to immortality," and the voice called back as an echo, "When yon are again united, yes.' In his youth that man bad loved. He had not bestowed bis passion sentiment- tally,* but his nature had found its lacking element and had entered into a perfect al- liance. From the moment they became aware what each was to the other they were a unit one heart, one mind, one being, a part ot one beautifully harmoni- ous whole. It is not, however, given to fallen mankind to enjoy on this side of that accident of existence designated the grave as much hnppiness as was theirs. As the year closed death came nnd .he was taken from him. The world thought they were separated, but as he looked for what others considered the last lime on that beautiful face, cold in death, he real- ized, that, instead of a divorce, be was more potently. wedded than "ever during their short united life in the flesh. -. The old method of sepulture was re- pulsive to him— unnatural, barbaric The everlasting doctrine of purification by, fire was infinitely more acceptable. He felt just as happy as on his '; wedding day, when a beautifully chnced, small marble urn was placed on his mantel, containing ashes as sacred, to him as his life. Al- ways united in spirit, he viewed the urn with unalloyed pleasure. Once more they .would come together, with not the re- motest prospect of parting. From out of that urn would rise a figure perfect as an anpcl. 7 Immortality. should clothe those ashes and an eternal union should be theirs. .' * '.'--"- •--"•*• A solitary passenger was on the quarter- deck of a stanch ship as she was buffeted by o;gaIe r off_, Cape Horn. It was New Year's eve, but never ' was night, made brighter, blacker, noisier or grander. The thunder was too loud to awe; the light- ning too bright ana sudden to daze and the blackness too often broken. to create fear. The lonely passenger, protected by the weather cloth, grasped the taffrail with his hands and divided his attention be- tween sea and sky. Violent squalls fre- quently forced the Jee rails beneath the water and the darkest and lowest clouds appeared to settle almost on the crest of the waves. The orgies of the descending hail; the wind making teolian music with every shroud and rone; the cracking of every stanchion and plank; . the wild breaking of the huge waves as they rushed up to the bulwarks, washed across the decks and pursued their irresistible career to leeward; the tearing asunder of the clouds by the. weird, fantastic, fiery lightning; the chirping of the little petrels low on the water and the cawing of the big sea birds high above the masts— all this was as paradise to the solitary pas- senger. He looked with absolute pity upon the mate when that officer suggested that he leave it all and retire to the warmth of his berth. A few minutes after making the not al- together unreasonable suggestion the mate thought he heard the man behind the weather-cloth speak. "Did you speak, sir?" But there was no answer and the mate concluded he had made a mistake— but be had not. For the first time he realiz d that the wind was cold and that frost had formed on bis mustache. Before he had time to brush it away with his mittencd hand the turmoil commenced once more and his mind was again in harmony with it. Suddenly he saw something in the clouds;. a flash of lightning hung in the heavens a. few seconds longer than usual. He could plainly distinguish an almost perfect figure advancing toward him over the white tops of the mighty waves. He extended one hand to greet it—or her and with the other he attempted to brush from his eyes the film that he thought was responsible for bis not seeing clearer. But it was not a haze; he was not yet fitted to see perfectly. The unholy thought again came unbidden that if he were to take one plunge his yearnin-- would be at an end. That wicked suggestion robbed him instantly of the power to see at all, for he was gazing, not with his eyes, but with his soul. The lightning faded away almost as sud- denly as it came. The passenger dropped both bis bands, muttered a despondent •'Oh I" and laboring beneath an unspeak- able weight of disappointment he sought the seclusion of his berth. Tne storm be- came irksome to him and he realized that the ship was tossing violently. Another New Year's eve an old man sat in a scantily furnished room. His chair was drawn to a little table, upon which his arms rested, they in turn receiving the weight of his head. On the mantel- piece was the little urn, around which his whole life had been encircled, and Irom which it drew its Inspiration. He watched it intently. Not for an instant did he take his eyes off it, and never was human gaze more expectant The concentration of those dilated orbs on the precious recep- tacle was so intense it was not difficult to imagine a tangible connection between them. " , . It was sundown when he sat oy the table, but the stars had twinkled many hours before be felt that his desire was on the eve of being fulfilled. He was again young. Half a century had been blotted out and he again beard the words, "Ashes to ashes to immortality." His eyes raised a little, and ob ! the un- natural light that illuminated them. It was unearthly, beautiful, the expression of perfect joy. Over the urn he again saw those eyes. There was no haze be- fore them; they were as clear as day. As he watched the form of a face surmounted them, the same face he bad almost been peimitted to see so many times during the past fiftyyears, marred not by a single wrinkle, and in whose veins the blood cased to course exactly as the clock struck ten, so long ago. The old man looked up for a brief in- stant. Although the night was dark, for a small space of time the room was filled with light. He looked at the mantelpiece, but the urn was not there. Over the place where It had been was the almost perfect figure that had been enshrined so long in the eye of his mind. "Ashes to immortality," he gasped, and his head fell heavily on his hands. Slower and slower he breathed. The figure stretched out her hands and approached him. A sound came from his bended head. It was that peculiar human ex- pression that expresses perfect content- ment. Just as the breath left the worn- out body it was no longer a vision. The moment he cast off the shackles of the world arms of love were extended as though ready to welcome some one in a warm embrace and beiore they closed the room wan dark. \u0084.«_£-£ Next day a rigid lifeless eld man was found in a room in a lodging-house, and twelve wise men recorded a verdict of •'death by the visitation of God." f-Tr.\RT W. Booth. Discoveries in Electricity #"*^WOME very remarkable discoveries have recently been made in the —rnmwjc field *of electricity. It has been found possible to ' transmit electrical energy, or, in other words, to produce dynamic force at a great distance from the source of energy without the aid of .wires ! or other conductors. For many years ingenious men have striven to accomplish the work of tele- graphing without wires, but without ar- riving at any practical solution of the problem -until now. The phenomenon of "induction" that is, the appearance of an electric current upon a wire strung parallel to another wire charged with a current— been familiar to electricians ever since the use of 'wires as conductors, but no rational answer to the question, Why? has heretofore been brought for- ward. Three men, each distinguished in the scientific world— Dr. Jagadis Chunder Bose, a Hindoo, professor of Physics in the Presidency College, Calcutta; Gugli- elmo Marconi, an Italian, and Nikola Tesla, a Montenegrin— have, each inde- pendently of the other, arrived at similar results in their studies of electric induc- tion, and each one announces, and proves hi* claim by experimental demonstration, that it is quite practical to produce elec- trical phenomena at great distances from .the exciting cause. Professor Bose has been able to ring bells I and operate an ordinary telegraphic instru- | ment at a distance of hundreds of feet from his transmitting instrument, the force-rays of electrical energy passing throngh brick and stone walls without im- pediment. His apparatus consists of a small platinum ball placed between two platinum beds connected to a battery of two storage cells, having an electro- motive force of two volts, and rendering the elec- tric emanations -iven off by the platinum . ball into a bundle of parallel rays !by means of a condensing lens made of sulphur, pitch and ebonite. Marconi's apparatus is a modified form of the famil- iar Hertz machine for producing static electricity. Marconi in his experiments used no condensing lens, and he . appeared to have achieved better results than has iProfessor Bose. W.H. Preece, the chief I of the electrical department of the British postal system, has carefully investigated Marconi's claims, and says that they are proven. The electrical waves generated by Marconi's machine have been sent two miles through bouses ami hills, and ! can be sent twenty miles with more pow- erful machines than those employed in the experiments. Vessels at sea provided with proper re- ceivers may be communicated with, and the electrical waves possess an energy that may be applied with terrible effect in warfare, for they miy be directed against the powder magazine of a hostile iron- clad to explode its contents should it happen that a couple of pieces of metal were in the magazine in position to set up induction. No little alarm is already felt among interested naval men as to the probable effect of this most wonderful discovery. Nikola Tesla has, as is well Known, made exhaustive investigation into the phenomena of high frequency and high potential currents, and he has produced before assemblages of the fore- most men in scientific research many marvelous demonstrations. All of the investigations and experi- ments made by these thr.e men demon- strate that vibration is the keynote of all phenomena. Light and heat are convert- ible the one into the other simply by rais- ing or lowering the rate of vibration. Both aro actual force. Light, which is a form'"' of heat, is due to ihe agitation, o r vibration, of electro-statically charged molecules. "In * the roduction '. of light- waves electro-static effects must be brought into play. The "quantity" of electric energy is not essential, for but feeble luminosity is ob- tainable from the most powerful electro- magnetic induction effects. It is found that the molecules ot common air are 'thrown into violent agitation when they are placed within an electro-static field produced by high potential currents, and that the removal of a portion of the air molecules from a closed vessel renders it easier for the remaining molecules to vi- brate; and. further, that the vibration of these molecules produces luminosity. * Being possessed of these facts,- it is easy to construct an apparatus by which light may oe obtained at a distance from the generator of electrical energy without em- ploying conducting wires. A room may be brilliantly illuminated by placing in the walls concealed plates connected with a machine that creates currents of high frequency and' moat potential and , sus- pending in the center of the room glass globes from which the air has been partly exhausted. As soon as the plates are charged an electro - static field -is created surrounding the globes.which then glow with brilliant light. Not only such a mode novel, itis desirab c from an economic standpoint, as the necessary electrical energy is produced at much less cost tban is that required for the prosent system of electric lighting; and besides, as the current used is of very low amperage, there is less danger of fire, which must always attend the use o! poweriul currents on hidden wires. The new discoveries open up an im- mense field of practical application that has hitherto been closed. _-. will now be possible to erect a lighthouse at any pos- sible point of danger on our coasts and light its lamp by a current sent from th_ shore, regardless of fogs, storms or sea- son. Ships ma/ be communicated with or themselves hold converse* with the in- accessible shore, and the hostile warship destroyed long before it can reach avail- able shelling distance.. 'V**7":J~7 Every city in our land is disfigured by the plexus of unsightly wires which are necessary for tho operation of the various applications of electricity used by us. To place all of these wires, underground would be desirab.e, but itis practically impossible. * As th. demand for tele- phonic and light -ervico i ncreases addi- tional wires are required, and no Dusiness man would, engage in an enterprise re- quiring un outlay that was not reasonably assured of return. A street ones provided with eood road- way may not b3 broken up every lime that a new wire is' required or when some failing wire ceases to net as a conductor. The new discoveries will obviate all this. There will be no wires. The different cur- rents employed for lighting and for phonic communication will no more bend or interfere with each other than do now the millions of currents employed in the operation of the telegraph, the tele- phone, the incandescent and arc lights, which : are "groundea" into the earth. Each will seek its appropriate objective. \u25a0 F. M. C. THE NEW LIGHT AT HOME. A A— Exhausted globes. B Induction plates concealed in tne walls. DaWn. My bare feet pass through the drooping grass, which, pining, sickens and longs for dew. j Through the shadowy lines of the dim, aark pines and . the . trailing branches of somber yew A whisper passes, as though they knew I had entered night's secret place.

FISHERMANCAN NOW CAST FLIES

FOR TROUT

fflTS*HE open season for trout fishing be-

«iv Kan on Thursday and already ajlfpgreat many of the lovers of thisgenuine and exciting sport have left for

their favorite streams. ,Contiguous to San Francisco, so near in

fact that a day's fishing is always accessi-ble, there are numberless streams thatabound in trout. Inall those streams thatflow from the western slopes ofTamalpaisfishing of the most exhilarating characteris to be had by those who have theright either from ownership or as a mem-ber of the Country Club, which as lesseesjealously exclude the public from a greattract which affords probably the finesttrout-fishing in the vicinity of San Fran-cisco. There are, however, numberlessatieams in Marin and Sonoma counties

which are distant but a few hours' travelby rail and afford rare sport-

The Lagunitas and its affluents on theNorth Pacific Coast is a splendid streamopen to all, and is very popular with localfishermen. Almost every mile or twothere is to be found hotels of the mostsatisfactory character.where the weary canfind comfortable quarters and secure restand refreshments after the bard day'stramp over the rocks and through thetangled brush. The skillful angler issure of a good basket on the Lagunitas.

A few .miles un the road are the SanAntonio and Estero Americano creeks,which have been especially stocked, andduring the right stage of the water thetrout run in myriads. Valley Ford andTomales. both thriving little towns, arethe headquarters of many sportsmen whohave tramped over this ground for years.

Duncans Mills,at the crossing of Rus-sian River, is the center of a fine trouting

district and is a popular point of depart-ure. Austin Creek with its tributaries isone of the finest trout sections to befound in the State, though not soaccessible as others. Cazadero is theterminus of the :railroad, and thecenter of the Austin Creek region. Themountains begin tb grow in altitude hereand every valley has its stream, which,flowing from great heights, the waters areclear and cold—the ideal home of tbetrout.

AtCazadero the stages tbat penetrateinto the Gualala River country begin.This is the finest trout section of all Cali-fornia. The Gualala flows for fiftymilesparallel with the ocean, and from the eastreceives a number of streams just filledwith trout. The middle fork of the Gua-lala gathers from a hundred mountainrivulets and offers splendid sport for thoseof adequate physical endurancewhile Buck-eye and Kockpile Creeks are about asgood. \u25a0 These streams are rarely fished,and the trout inhabiting tbem are largeand gamy, but no one ou_ht to penetrateinto this region unless he is prepared toendure and spend at least a weekwithout other occupation. There areany number of little hamlets wherecreature comforts can be bad, and at allthe farmhouses a hearty welcome is as-sured to those disposed to reciprocate. Tothe visitor the advice is given not to gointo this sparsely settled portion of So-noma without being fullyequipped.

A portion of the State that has everbeen a favorite resort of anglers is wherethe Russian River has its source, in Men-docino County. Itis calculated that inthe river and its tributaries there are over200 miles of stream tbat simply abound introut.

Private enterprise, with a view of en-couraging fisherman traffic, has stockedthese waters with millions of young troutduring the past two years, and reports

are unanimous that more trout are now tobe seen in these streams than ever before.

Hundreds of anglers are preparing fora jaunt to some of these points, and to-daywill witness crowded trains and merrypassengers. The copious rains of thepast winter have filled many of the troutstreams to the banks, and it is expectedthat the early fishing willnot be as fruit-ful in big catches as a little later on.

The cream of the sport will be in May,when the waters are neither too high nortoo low—ju t about the right sta_e.

FROM GREATHER NEW YORKBudget of Interesting NeWs and Qossip

About the California Golony in tneEastern Metropolis

NEW YORK, N. V.,March 30.— "Whereare you going this summer?"

Easterners begin to ask each other thatquestion before the snow is melted awayfrom shady nooks and when great chunksof river ice are bumping and fighting theirway to the sea. The trees are still bareand brown, but the little waxy buds ofpromised leaves are silent signals thatspring will soon be with us. However.itteems strange to a Californian to hear thetypical New Yorker planning for thesummer months before daisy-starredspring swoops down over us.

Lent is swinging along in a jolly littlemanner, and many pretty luncheons andlavender teas are beingcecorded as unu-sually delightful. There have been a halfdozen different sorts of shows for charityand private gain. Perhaps the most pop-ular affair among the lovely ladies of the450 was the doll show, which took placelast week at tue Waldorf.

Dolls, however beautiful they may be,

look absolutely funny when rigged out inthe finery my lady Dame Fashion dictatesthat human dolls shall wear from seasonto season. The dollies at the "Waldorfmade a very dignified showing, however,and though their littlearms would appearangular and their staring eyes seem actu-ally impertinent at times they served thepurpose of illustrating the remarkable in-genuity and taste of our American tailorsand modistes..Three of the leading Broadway theaters

have changed their bills during the past

week. The Bostonians— "the only andoriginal"—opened at the KnickerbockerMonday night in their new opera, "TheSerenade." Ithas proven an instanta-neous success, and nothing the Bostoniansbave given us since "Robin Hood" hasmet with such -an enthusiastic reception.

At Waiiack's a musical skit called"Miss Manhattan" has not met with thepopularity that has been looked for. Itistue regulation potpourri of the regulationcomic opera. A dash of ginger and a longwait between courses, old jokes with newcaps and' bells, and new jokes a wee bittimid as to how they will be gobbled bythe patient public just across the foot--1,V38pipWSß_H_W^..%\>7v-.-'7:-

Miss Manhattan may be an acquiredtaste, and New Yorkers may like her bet-ter when they grow mor. familiar withher. -..

The Broadway Theater has jumped outof the rut of everlasting burlesque andcomic opera, and is for the nonce thehome of classic and artistic drama."L'Arlesienne" (The Woman of Arle) isat present attracting the attention of thecritics and students of drama..Written by the unhappy Alphonse Dau-

det itis necessar.ly a gloomy and somberstory, but nevertheless it throbs with thetenderness ot an anxious mother's loveand palpitates with human passions. Toadd to the artistic triumph the play andits perfect Arcadian scenery, there is thedominant spirit of music sounding throughevery scene. The original :entr'acte mu-sic by Georges Bizet is used as interpretedby the great leader Anion Seidel and hisassistant, Ernest Meyer.

The music, with its passionate languor-ous strains, itsdeep swelling notes of angerand /revenge, and at last the . crash . ofsound concordant, commingling life, love,misery and tragic death, .is marvelous.The last curtain falls on a dismal scene,and the audience stumbles out on noisyBroadway wondering why life isn't all"beer and skittles," as the late lamentedTrilby expressed it.7. \u25a0That powerful actress, Agnes Booth, asthe mother InL'Arlesienne, gives a new

and subtle depth to the pure and toituring

loVt."i suffering motherhood.Charles M.Kent, wbor.*iSan Franciscans

willremember as the virile actor of powerand dignity, plays the part of the oldshepherd, Balthazar. His work ismasterly,and at moments mounts to grandeur.

Mr. Kent's hair is growing as white ascarded wool. In the days when he used toplay at Stock well's Theater folks wonderedat his eld hair and youthful face. hatwould tbey -ay now?

J. G. Mallory of San Francisco arrivedat the Gllsey House on Monday. He willbe in the city a week more. . .

Hon. Harrison Gray Otis, editor of theLos Angeles Times, left for his southernhome last Saturday. He has had a longvisit inand about New York, and will re-turn to California with renewed forces andpleasant memories of a very enjoyableeventful Rejourn in Eastern cities.

Colonel Z. S. S. Sailing has been a guestat the Holland during the past ten days.He willprobably start West this week.

George M. Bowman and Mrs. Bowmanof San Jose have been having a verypleasant and interesting visit since theirarrival in New York, the 18th inst.

'

As manager of the celebrated GoldenGate Fruit Packing Company Mr. Bow-man's engagements have been such asto keep him on the constant movesince his arrival in Gotham. Likeall Westerners, he does not believein all work and no play, there-

fore he and Mrs. Bowman havehave had several pleasant days down atOld Point- Comfort, and almost everyevening has found them enjoying one ofthe theaters or vaudeville performancesduring their New York visit.

Mr. and Mrs. Bowman have not decidedat what time they will return to Cali-fornia.

Mrs. Janet Hacdonald, who came onhere several months -ago to lecture onCalifornia scenery and California prod-ucts, will shortly re'.urn to her. home inSan Francisco, where she hopes to regainher health and strength. Mrs. Macdona'.dhas had more than her share of ill-fortunesince her arrival inNew York early in thewinter.

The severe weather combined with a se-rious attack of rheumatism confined herto her room for many weeks. Sue had nomore than recovered from her- painfulrheumatic siege than she was seized withan aggravated case of snow- blindness.Owing to her weakened condition she hasb*?en unable to keep any of her lecture en-gaji« ments, and wisely bus concluded toreturn to her home in the land of goldenpoppies and orange sunshine.

The other afternoon 1had the pleasureof seeing two well-known and prominentCalifornians meet unexpectedly, and theerecting they gave each other was delight-fully refreshing 'to witness. One was J.B. Randall of"San Francisco, president ofthe First National Bank in;San Jose, andthe other was E. S. Sanford, a fruit-growerand financier of San Jose.

'

They had a jolly little talk and theystrolled up Broadway for a few. blocks,and suffice to say that a very cold bottleand:the _ necessary adjuncts followed thehappy meeting."

Mr. Randall anticinates remaining forsome time in New York.. He has beenfrom the West but a short time.

Mr. Sanford will-start*homeward thefirst week in*April. He declares . that heis restless to get. back to

that iiwhat he calls Santa Clara Valley,and he must return before the :fruit

home here in New York on Sixty-eighthstreet, near Fifth avenue, which he keepsclosed the greater part of the year.

To see him driving through the parkbehind a spanking pair, and a coachmanand footman on the box, one would almostbe led to believe that the quiet, affablegentleman of San Jose was in a way trav-eling incog, while cultivating fruit in hisjaradise— Santa Clara Valley. B___B

AMarriageof Eternity

"Ashes to ashes— ashes to immortality."These words were spoken, half audibly,

by an aged man who stord on a bridgelooking at the grotesque figures made bythe moonlight on the rippled river a few-feet beneath him. He looked very in-tently at the silvery water with the viewof one expecting to see something. Hewas expecting to see something, and hisexpectation was one of years. Severaltimes he had almost persuaded himselfthat his hope was to be realized ;as many

times had he been disappointed.A whirlwind of thought rushed through

his brain. A suggestion came to him un-bidden. Ithad come to him before andhad been just as often repelled. Thisnieht it refused to depart. Itdemandedsatisfaction and the man could not some-how summon the usual strength to aidhim in shaking off the slavery that herealized he was enduring.

Should he take the plunge? That onlycould satisfy. With an effort that shookhis whole frame he moved from thebridge, thinking to himself, "Ashes toashes— to perfection to immortality,"and the voice called back as an echo,"When yon are again united, yes.'

Inhis youth that man bad loved. Hehad not bestowed bis passion sentiment-tally,* but his nature had found its lackingelement and had entered into a perfect al-liance. From the moment they becameaware what each was to the other theywere a unit one heart, one mind, onebeing, a part ot one beautifully harmoni-ous whole. Itis not, however, given tofallen mankind to enjoy on this side ofthat accident of existence designated thegrave as much hnppiness as was theirs.

As the year closed death came nnd .hewas taken from him. The world thoughtthey were separated, but as he looked forwhat others considered the last lime onthat beautiful face, cold in death, he real-ized, that, instead of a divorce, be wasmore potently. wedded than "ever duringtheir short united lifein the flesh.

-. The old method of sepulture was re-pulsive to him—unnatural, barbaric Theeverlasting doctrine of purification by,firewas infinitely more acceptable. He feltjust as happy as on his'; wedding day,when a beautifully chnced, small marbleurn was placed on his mantel, containingashes as sacred, to him as his life. Al-ways united in spirit, he viewed the urnwith unalloyed pleasure. Once more they

.would come together, with not the re-motest prospect of parting. From out ofthat urn would rise a figure perfect as ananpcl. 7 Immortality. should clothe thoseashes and an eternal union should betheirs. .' * '.'--"- •--"•*•

A solitary passenger was on the quarter-deck of a stanch ship as she was buffetedby o;gaIe r off_, Cape Horn. It was NewYear's eve, but never

'

was night, made

brighter, blacker, noisier or grander. Thethunder was too loud to awe; the light-ning too bright ana sudden to daze and theblackness too often broken. to create fear.

The lonely passenger, protected by theweather cloth, grasped the taffrail withhis hands and divided his attention be-tween sea and sky. Violent squalls fre-quently forced the Jee rails beneath thewater and the darkest and lowest cloudsappeared to settle almost on the crest ofthe waves. The orgies of the descendinghail; the wind making teolian music withevery shroud and rone; the cracking ofevery stanchion and plank; . the wildbreaking ofthe huge waves as they rushedup to the bulwarks, washed across thedecks and pursued their irresistible careerto leeward; the tearing asunder of theclouds by the. weird, fantastic, fierylightning; the chirping of the little petrelslow on the water and the cawing of thebig sea birds high above the masts— allthis was as paradise to the solitary pas-senger. He looked with absolute pityupon the mate when that officer suggestedthat he leave it all and retire to thewarmth of his berth.

A few minutes after making the not al-together unreasonable suggestion themate thought he heard the man behindthe weather-cloth speak.

"Did you speak, sir?" But there wasno answer and the mate concluded he hadmade a mistake— but be had not.

For the first time he realiz d that thewind was cold and that frost had formedon bis mustache. Before he had time tobrush it away with his mittencd handthe turmoil commenced once more andhis mind was again in harmony with it.

Suddenly he saw something in theclouds;. a flash of lightning hung in theheavens a. few seconds longer than usual.He could plainly distinguish an almostperfect figure advancing toward him overthe white tops of the mighty waves. Heextended one hand to greet it—or her

—and with the other he attempted to brushfrom his eyes the film that he thoughtwas responsible for bis not seeing clearer.But it was not a haze; he was not yetfitted tosee perfectly. The unholy thoughtagain came unbidden that if he were totake one plunge his yearnin-- would be atan end. That wicked suggestion robbedhim instantly of the power to see at all,for he was gazing, not with his eyes, butwith his soul.

The lightning faded away almost as sud-denly as itcame. The passenger droppedboth bis bands, muttered a despondent•'Oh I" and laboring beneath an unspeak-able weight of disappointment he soughtthe seclusion of his berth. Tne storm be-came irksome to him and he realized thatthe ship was tossing violently.

Another New Year's eve an old man satin a scantily furnished room. His chairwas drawn to a little table, upon whichhis arms rested, they in turn receiving theweight of his head. On the mantel-piece was the little urn, around which hiswhole life had been encircled, and Iromwhich itdrew its Inspiration. He watcheditintently. Not for an instant did he takehis eyes off it, and never was human gazemore expectant The concentration ofthose dilated orbs on the precious recep-tacle was so intense it was not difficult toimagine a tangible connection betweenthem.

",.

It was sundown when he sat oy thetable, but the stars had twinkled manyhours before be felt that his desire was onthe eve of being fulfilled. He was again

young. Half a century had been blottedout and he again beard the words, "Ashesto ashes

—to immortality."

His eyes raised a little, and ob ! the un-natural light that illuminated them. Itwas unearthly, beautiful, the expressionof perfect joy. Over the urn he againsaw those eyes. There was no haze be-fore them; they were as clear as day. Ashe watched the form of a face surmountedthem, the same face he bad almost beenpeimitted to see so many times duringthe past fiftyyears, marred not by a singlewrinkle, and in whose veins the bloodcased to course exactly as the clock struckten, so long ago.

The old man looked up for a brief in-stant. Although the night was dark, fora small space of time the room was filledwith light. He looked at the mantelpiece,but the urn was not there. Over the place

where Ithad been was the almost perfectfigure that had been enshrined so long inthe eye of his mind.

"Ashes to immortality," he gasped, andhis head fell heavily on his hands. Slowerand slower he breathed. The figurestretched out her hands and approachedhim. A sound came from his bendedhead. It was that peculiar human ex-pression that expresses perfect content-ment. Just as the breath left the worn-out body it was no longer a vision. Themoment he cast off the shackles of theworld arms of love were extended asthough ready to welcome some one in awarm embrace and beiore they closed theroom wan dark. \u0084.«_£-£

Discoveries in Electricity#"*^WOME very remarkable discoveries

have recently been made in the—rnmwjc field*of electricity. It has been

found possible to'transmit electrical

energy, or, in other words, to producedynamic force at a great distance from thesource of energy without the aid of .wires

!or other conductors.For many years ingenious men have

striven to accomplish the work of tele-graphing without wires, but without ar-riving at any practical solution of theproblem -untilnow. The phenomenon of"induction" that is, the appearance ofan electric current upon a wire strungparallel to another wire charged with acurrent— been familiar to electriciansever since the use of 'wires as conductors,but no rational answer to the question,Why? has heretofore been brought for-ward.

Three men, each distinguished in thescientific world—Dr. Jagadis ChunderBose, a Hindoo, professor of Physics inthe Presidency College, Calcutta; Gugli-elmo Marconi, an Italian, and NikolaTesla, a Montenegrin— have, each inde-pendently of the other, arrived at similarresults in their studies of electric induc-tion, and each one announces, and proveshi* claim by experimental demonstration,that it is quite practical to produce elec-trical phenomena at great distances from.the exciting cause.

Professor Bose has been able to ringbells

Iand operate an ordinary telegraphic instru-| ment at a distance of hundreds of feet

from his transmitting instrument, theforce-rays of electrical energy passingthrongh brick and stone walls without im-pediment. His apparatus consists of asmall platinum ball placed between twoplatinum beds connected to a battery oftwo storage cells, having an electro- motiveforce of two volts, and rendering the elec-tricemanations -iven off by the platinum. ball into a bundle of parallel rays

!by means of a condensing lens madeofsulphur, pitch and ebonite. Marconi'sapparatus is a modified form of the famil-iar Hertz machine for producing staticelectricity. Marconi in his experiments

used no condensing lens, and he .appearedto have achieved better results than has

iProfessor Bose. W.H. Preece, the chiefIof the electrical department of the Britishpostal system, has carefully investigatedMarconi's claims, and says that they areproven. The electrical waves generated

by Marconi's machine have been senttwo miles through bouses ami hills, and

!can be sent twenty miles with more pow-erful machines than those employed inthe experiments.

Vessels at sea provided with proper re-ceivers may be communicated with, andthe electrical waves possess an energythat may be applied with terrible effect inwarfare, for they miy be directed againstthe powder magazine of a hostile iron-clad to explode its contents should ithappen that a couple of pieces of metalwere in the magazine inposition to set upinduction. No little alarm is alreadyfelt among interested naval men as to theprobable effect of this most wonderfuldiscovery. Nikola Tesla has, as is wellKnown, made exhaustive investigation

into the phenomena of high frequencyand high potential currents, and he hasproduced before assemblages of the fore-most men in scientific research many

marvelous demonstrations.All of the investigations and experi-

ments made by these thr.e men demon-strate that vibration is the keynote of allphenomena. Light and heat are convert-ible the one into the other simply by rais-ing or lowering the rate of vibration.Both aro actual force. Light, which is a

form'"'of heat, is due to ihe agitation, or

vibration, of electro-statically chargedmolecules. "In*the roduction '.of light-waves electro-static effects must be broughtinto play.

The "quantity" of electric energy is notessential, for but feeble luminosity is ob-tainable from the most powerful electro-magnetic induction effects. Itis foundthat the molecules ot common air are

'thrown into violent agitation when they

are placed within an electro-static fieldproduced by high potential currents, andthat the removal of a portion of the airmolecules from a closed vessel renders iteasier for the remaining molecules to vi-brate; and. further, that the vibration ofthese molecules produces luminosity.

*

Being possessed of these facts,- it is easyto construct an apparatus by which lightmay oe obtained at a distance from thegenerator of electrical energy without em-ploying conducting wires. A room maybe brilliantly illuminated by placing inthe walls concealed plates connected witha machine that creates currents of highfrequency and' moat potential and , sus-pending in the center of the room glass

globes from which the air has been partlyexhausted. As soon as the plates arecharged an electro

-static field -is

created surrounding the globes.which thenglow with brilliant light. Not onlysuch a mode novel, itis desirab c from aneconomic standpoint, as the necessary

electrical energy is produced at muchless cost tban is that required for theprosent system of electric lighting; andbesides, as the current used is of very lowamperage, there is less danger of fire,which must always attend the use o!poweriul currents on hidden wires.

The new discoveries open up an im-mense field of practical application thathas hitherto been closed. _-. will now bepossible toerect a lighthouse at any pos-sible point of danger on our coasts andlight its lamp by a current sent from th_shore, regardless of fogs, storms or sea-son. Ships ma/ be communicated withor themselves hold converse* with the in-accessible shore, and the hostile warshipdestroyed long before it can reach avail-able shelling distance.. 'V**7":J~7

Every city in our land is disfigured bythe plexus of unsightly wires which arenecessary for tho operation of the variousapplications of electricity used by us. Toplace all of these wires, underground

would be desirab.e, but itis practicallyimpossible.

*As th. demand for tele-

phonic and light -ervico increases addi-tional wires are required, and no Dusinessman would, engage in an enterprise re-quiring un outlay that was not reasonablyassured of return.

A street ones provided with eood road-way may not b3 broken up every limethat a new wire is' required or when somefailing wire ceases to net as a conductor.The new discoveries willobviate all this.There will be no wires. The different cur-rents employed for lighting and forphonic communication will no more

bend or interfere with each other thando now the millions of currents employedin the operation of the telegraph, the tele-phone, the incandescent and arc lights,which :are "groundea" into the earth.Each willseek its appropriate objective.
