Mr. and Mrs. George S. Trowbridge
celebrated their 20th wedding anniver-

were present including several from
out of town. The presents were as nu-
merous as they were ch01ce. A feast
was served, games indulged in, vocal
and instrumental music enjoyed, and
the event made one which will never
be efiaced from the memory of all who
were present.

together a happy one. .

65 years of age, Mr. Schaub regaled the
party with an abundance of refresh-

0drowned in a shower of congratula-
tions. He attempted to thank his
friends and partially succeeded but his
heart seemingly was larger than his
volubility and he excused himself by
,warbling a pretty little love ballad in
German. It was "edged” up towards
2 o’clock when the party dispersed for

Underwriters Dislike to Insure a Vessel
When Her Name Ends with “a.” \
Marine insurance underwriters al-
ways fight shy of vessels whose names
end in “a.” This has become espe-
cially true, since the total loss, with
all on board, of the steamer City of
Philadelphia, about a. year ago. The
City of Philadelphia ‘left New York
for San Francisco and wentdown, with
all- hands, off the Falkland Isl-
and-s. A ship with the final"“‘a” is
looked upon pretty generally as a hoo-
doo. The most serious wrecks of the-
last year have been of vessels carrying I
the hoodoo letter. One day the tele-
graph announced that the British ship
Androsa, from San Francisco to Liv-
erpool, was lost with a very valuable
cargo. The next day word was re-
ceived that the Orealla, bound from
Victoria for Liverpool, had been swept
by heavy seas and badly damaged. Her
mate and one sailor were drowned.
The wires told on the same day of
the total 1055 of the British ship Villan-
ta and the drowning of her master,
near Freemantle, and a few days later
the papers gave the news of the loss
of the steamer Wallapa and of the
beaching of the Dora. During the last
two or three years the most serious
wrecks on the coast were of vessels
whose names ended with the hoodoo
letter. Besides the wreck of the City
of Philadelphia, the wreck of the Col-
im-a was the most horrifying of all.
Then came the loss of the steamer Co—r
lumbia,‘ and a few weeks later the pas—
senger steamer Umatilla ran ashore
and narrowly escaped destruction.—

TWINS OF THE SHERMAN HOME.
Adopted by the \Vife of the Secretary of
State—One Is Living.
As most of us know, Mr. and Mrs.
Sherman were childless. A time came
when, after much consideration and
thought, they decided to adopt a child
and heir. Mrs. Sherman requested
some of her intimate friends to assist
in the search of a desirable infant, one
honestly born, and without parents
to follow on afterwardand embarrass.
A friend in New York subsequently
telegraphed her to come at once and
take her choice of two beautiful ba-
bies. There was great excitement in
the Sherman home pending Mrs. Sher-
man’s trip to New York after the baby.
On the next day she telegraphed her
husband: “Will be home’ this after-
noon. Send carriage to the depot."
The carriage went and the senator re«
mained at home, walking the floor,
looking at his watch, watching each
carriage as it came in sight. The train
was a little late. He was becoming
nervously anxious.
Finally the carriage hove in sight;
he marched out to meet it at the curb,
threw open the door. There was Mrs.
Sherman and a nurse, each stepping
out with a. baby in arms. Such an ex-
pression as came over that stem Sher-
man face was never seen before. 'It
could not be described. He was at a
loss for Words for a minute or two and
finally was able to stammer: “Wife,
what does this mean?”~ She replied:
“Husband, they were so pretty and so
much alike that I could not make a
choice, and so I selected both.” They
were twin girl babies. For the next
few days it was a show to watch Mr.
Sherman as he enjoyed and caressed
the newcomers. One of the twins
sickened and died within a few weeks,
and the other is now his daughter,

THE CHAMPION IN FRUGALITY.
Hopkins Had to Acknowledge He Had
hIetJ-lis Superior in Economy.
Guy, the founder of Guy’s hospital
in London, was as parsimonious in
private life as he was munificent in
public. A good story illustrative of this
is told of him in connection with John
Hopkins, one of his contemporaries,
who was nicknamed Vulture Hopkins
on account of his‘rapacious mode of ac-
quiring his immense wealth. ~On one
occasion he paid a visit to Guy, who,
on Hopkins entering the room, light-
ed a farthing candle. Hop-kins, on
being asked the reason of his visit,
said: “I have been told that you, sir,
are better versed in the prudent and
necessary art of saving than any man
living, and I therefore wait on you for,
a lesson in frugality. I have always,
regarded myself as an adept, in this
matter, but I am told you excel me.”
:‘Oh,” replied Guy, “if that is all you
came to talk about, we can disCuss the
matter in the dark,” and thereupon he
blew out the candle. Struck with this
example of" economy, Hopkins ac-
knowledged that he had met his sup-e-
rior in thrift—Medical Record.

CURING CONSUMPTION.
Faculty of Cooper Medical College
Say a Remedy Has 'Been Found.
_San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 26,—Much
discussion has been caused here by
the fact that the faculty 'of Cooper
Medical College declared that sixteen
patients have been saved from con-
sumption by Dr. Joseph 0. Hirsch-
felder’s remedy. This cure is oxtu-
berculine, made from' veal which has
been saturated with tuberculine.
Hirschfelder has been experimenting
three years to secure this lymph.
Among the patients whom he has
cured is Thomas H. Williams, Jr., the
wealthy horse-breeder. All the other»
patients were carefully examined and
all were declared cured. Some were
far advanced in the disease when they
began the treatment. Oxtuberculine
is injected, and soon restores vitality
and heals the lungs.
SLIGHT OF THE CZA'R.
Germans Excited Over the Emperor’s
Refusal to Receive the Grand Duke.
Berlin, Oct. 26.—A great sensation has
been caused in court, aristocratic and
official circles here by the refusal of the
Czar on Saturday to receive the Grand
Duke and Duchess of Baden, who had
proposed to travel to Darmstadt for
that purpose. '
The official explanation of the CZar’s
action is that his time is fully engaged
up to the time of his departure for
Russia, but it is pointed out that he re—
cieved Prince Hohenlohe Sunday after-
noon, the day following that of the
proposed visit of the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess, and accentuated the
incident by entertaining them at din-
ner, although the Chancellor and his
wife were to start and did leave for
Berlin immediately after dining.
