EMBARRASSING somnambulism.
A San Francisco Bachelor Finds His
Apartment Occupied by a Sleep
Walker
f'lfim th e Alta California.
There can be no doubt that people who
•n alk iu their sleep are not desirable guests
to have in a boarding bouse. They are lia
ble to create strange confusions and disa
greeable dilemmas. Up ou Sutter street is
a large domestic hotel, where families and
k j„glo people arc accommodated with all the
comforts of home. Under these circum
stances it is generally full of people. Young
married people are esqieelally glml to find m
su li an establishment the conveniences of
private life without the trouble and worry
~i housekeeping, and bald-headed, middlo
awd gentlemen, who, in their haste to ac
cumulate fortunes, have put off marrying
until it is too late to wed, gravitate to such
places as inevitably as the needle turns to
{he north. The house in question was full
0 f Mich people. But particularly noticeable
among them was a blushing young bride,
whose beauty and grace was the theme of
every tongue, and a stout, red-faced deafer
in old iron, whose sleek and shining appear
ance was only equalled by the smooth and
polished surface of his hairless head. In
deed it was a generally accepted rumor
about the house that his slick and glisten
ing cranium was the result of incessant
polishing with a red bandana handkerchief, ;
which, for time out of mind, has been re
garded a a leading feature of his toilet. To
say that this gentleman was modest would
only partially convey an ideaof his remark
aide “backwardness in coming forward” in
the presence of ladies. The glances of femi
nine eyes would deepen the carmine hue of
his countenance until the blood seemed
ready to burst from his veins. And a word
addressed to him in the liquid accents which
only feminine voices can assume would
cause every nerve of his body to thrill with
embarrassment.
Imagine the consternation of this gentle
man when on returning late from his club
one night he found his apartment occupied
by a lady. The discovery was not made uu
ti Ihe had partially' disrobed. Coming into
the room, the moon shining brightly
through the window, ho begun to throw off
his clothes without lighting the gas. When
his coat, vest and shoes were removed, and
a wollen nightcap drawn comfortably over
his head, his suspenders dangling gracefully
from bis waistband to his heels, and when in
the act of drawing off his trousers, he was
interrupted by a gentle voice from the bed,
inquiring:
“Is that you. dear?”
The horror of the situation rose vividly
before his eyes. It was as if a lightning
shock had transfixed "him. His feet seemed
glued to the floor. If he had had any hair on
his head it would have risen on end. But
the blood, which in the moment of his
overwhelming astonishment had receded to
his heart, now rushed furiously through his
veins and seemed to concentrate in a globe
of burning red in the head, from which the
dishevelled nightcap had fallen.
“Are you coming to bed, dear?” came
again the same gentle voice.
This was too much. With a bound like a
panther the gentleman leaped to the sofa,
and wheeling it from the corner sprang be
hind it.
The "moon pouring a flood of light
through the window seemed to have con
centrated all its rays on that particular cor
ner. It was lit up with the brightness of
day. The lady saw the crouching figure,
and noted the obese and ungainly form. It
was not her husband. Visions of robbers,
murderers and thieves passed through her
mind with the rapidity of lightning. With
a bound, as if upraised by a galvanic shock,
she sat up in bed. Then with a shriek as if
all the steam calliopes in the country had
been combined in one fearful diapason, she
gave voice to her alarm. The noise of that
awful shriek drove out of the mail’s heart
his first alarm, and replaced it with another
fright still more intense.
“For heaven’s sake, woman, be silent!”
he cried from his erouc{>ing place in the cor
ner.
The lady only shrieked the louder. From
fright the man was rapidly passing into a
condition of distracted courage
“Be quiet, I tell you!”
"Ob, sir, for pity's sake don't kill me!”
“Kill you, indeed! Confound it. I’m
not going to hurt you. But get out of
here!”
This confirmed her worst apprehensions.
A burglar had invaded her room. She
would have fled, but the door was locked,
and her attire was not fitted for a prome
nade through the halls.
But she could yell, and she did. A suc
cession of screams filled the room that
would have wakened the dead. They
roused the house, and the halls rapidly
filled with frightened people. Among them
came the husband of the rosy bride. He
had come home late, and not finding his
spouse asleep, as he expected to, concluded
she was visiting some lady friends, and
quietly tumbled himself into bed and went
to bed. The screams’of the alarmed lady
had even penetrated his dormant senses, and
he came rushing out with the rest.
“Oh, heavens, save me,” again came
the alarmed entreaty from the bachelor’s
room.
“That’s my wife’s voice,” he shouted, and
his strong shoulders carried the door from
its hinges. The sight that, met tiie startled
group of people crowding into the room
as so ludicrous and absurd that in spite o.
sympathy for the terror-stricken lady they
gave way to uncontrollable laughter. The
■Tightened bachelor had wedged himself be
tween the wall and the sofa until he looked
ns flat as a pancake. Occasionally he
glanced furtively over the back of it, and
then sunk with a groan. The ladv was too
busy screaming to think of anything else
until her husband's indignant inquiry:
“What the mischief are you doing
here?” brought her in some degree to her
senses,
“Oh, Charley, there’s a* burglar in the
rr >orn!”
“I’m uot a burglar!’’cried a smothered
voice from belfiud the sofa. “This is my
room, and I came home to-night and found
a woman in it.”
These hysterical explanations tended iu
no degre > to allay the amusement of the
boarders. But finally an understanding
reached. The lady was a sleep walker,
and in this condition had wandered Into the
room and gone to bed.
CLERGYMEN DETECTIVES.
One of Them Falls Back on His Hip
Pocket for Protection in a Maine Bar
room.
From the Lewiston Journal.
Bath, Dec. 27.—A prominent member of
fho Law and Order League gave a Journal
reporter the details of the most sensational
and dramatic liquor seizure which has e* r
occurred iu the State of Maine, a seizure
"inch has led to implications which are the
’T. curbing theme of the whole city. “It was
’he dnv of the firemen's muster,’ says our
informant. “Tee streets were til It'd with
tt'Cn ‘on a time,’and two vigilant members
°f tho league observed that, many of them
”ci:t in at the front door of a certain
bo cl. The league men went in with the
crowd and seated themselves in tho cor
ridor of the hotel. This corridor is directly
,n from of the office, aud is also used as a
reading and Brooking room. ! seated there,
t “®y raw n perfect stream of men pouring
■oat the front door, across the corridor, and
through a door at the right. The crowd
"a;; so large that the clergymen escaped
notice. They watched the movements of
•he men for some time, and, taking their
opportunity when there came a group pare
luularly large, they joined the throng and
"ere swept along with it through tin* door
'vay. Beyond the door was a short hall
' va jF another door, and then another hall.
The crowd turned off from this hall
hrough a heavy sheet iron door, aud, go
teg with them, tho ministers were in the
barroom. The clergy noted that the door
"a* manipulated hy bolts worked by ropes
■ 'inning lack to the bartender, unniislakv
b .V- Tradition states thisdoor it* ordinarily
< ‘osed and bolted, and only open* at the
three raps of the initiated. The lay was
equipped with all the usual drinks. Mil
waukoo beer and whisky straight appeared
to tie the favorites. Three or four bartend
ers were just as busy as they could be set
ting out whisky bottles anti little glasses,
aud uncorking beer. Tho room wns lull of
men drinking.
“ ‘ What are you taking?’ asked one of the
ministers of a man with a small glass in his
hand. ‘Brandy,’ was the reply.
“The bartenders were too busy to notice
the presence of the vigilance committee,
and the crowd evidently didn’t know them.
Thus it was sometime before their observa
tions on the habits and customs of rum
drinking in Bath were interrupted. Sud
denly there da*ho<l through the door the
form of the landlord; and there ensued a
scene unparalleled in the history of the
Maine temperance law. The landlord was
frantic. His words to the bartenders and
to tile visiting clergy are not recorded, but
in the twinkling of an eye the transforma
tion scone began.
“The men evaporated like a man's dollars
at Christinas time. Some of them went out
through the office aud made their exit at
the front door; some went out by means of
a door which opens from an adjoining hall
into the ladies' entrance, and there were
otßers svho gently glided down a handy
stairway into a darn, damp passage, along
which they groped their way amid barrels
and boxes and heaps of straw, thence
through the subterranean regions of the
hotel, along a half dozen corridors, across
gloomy rooms, and out through the laundry
to the open air of a back alley.
“With the escaping frequenters, the Rev.
MmKemick, being of inconspicuous stature,
mane his exit from the hotel unobserved.
The towering form of the Rev. Mr. Hill ab
sorbed the attention of the landlord and his
colleagues, and they held an exciting mass
meeting upon the spot. Mr. Hill was hus
tled out of the barroom into the hall aud
into another room.
‘“You will ruin my business,’ said the
landlord. ‘This is the first time I have run
an open bar, and it was onlv for to-day that
I threw it open. If you will only let me off
this time 1 will promise it shall lie the last
time I shall be found in this business in
Bath.’
“He used every argument that he could
summon to his aid. He told of his struggle
to make a living out of the hotel, and
pictured in coloi-s creditable to himself the
good order that had ever been maintained
in this private barroom, which he kept only
for guests of the hotel. He passed from ar
gument to entreaty, and from entreaty to
abject begging, imploring mercy in tones of
anguish.
“Mr. Hill turned a deaf ear. He would
not budge an inch from his purpose, and
then the half dozen men around him be
came violent in their manner. The way in
which he had been hustled out of the bar
room aud imprisoned in the small room was
not reassuring. He asked them to open the
door and allow him to pass out. No atten
tion was paid to his repeated demands.
Finally the affair reached a climax All
measures had failed and Mr. Hill remained
firm. The men iu the room with him were
intensely excited They surrounded him
with frenzied language and gestures which
he deemed threatening. He drew himself
to his full height of 6 feet and 3 inches, and
reaching back with his Jong right arm,
placed Iris hand under his coattail and iu
the l egion of his pistol pocket.
“ ‘Gentlemen, if you mean to use violence
I am prepared for you,’ he said.
“The landlord and his colleagues fell back
to a respectful distance and this was the
tableau when along the corridor outside
sounded the tread of martial feet. The
now thoroughly frightened hotel men
opened the door and were confronted with
a platoon of police, Mr. Remick at their
head.”
“Did Mr. Hill really go there armed?”
asked the reporter.
“No, and that's where the joke comes in.
He hadn’t a thing abou > him for defense.
He tried the pistol pocket dodge as a
last resort.
“The barroom was searched, hut no
liquor was found beyond a few drops ir. the
bottoms of jug* aud bottles, which had evi
dently been hastily emptied down the spout.
These few drops and the bottles were
brought into the Municipal Court and the
two ministers told what they had seen.
The J udge held the evidence insufficient and
dismissed the case.”
DAIJ LAMONT’S RISE IN LIFE.
Hiram Calkins First Helped Him Get
a Place In Albany.
From the Sew York World.
A veteran Democrat who has spent many
years in the service of his party in this
State and who has known Col. Dan Li
moni ever since the private secretary of the
President was a boy, said to a reporter
Thursday at the Hoffman House:
“Dan Laruont has been a very lucky
young man, yet withal he deserves a great
ileal of credit for the way in which he has
pushed himself to the front. 1 know- all
about him, and what 1 tell you about his his
tory cannot be denied.
T will go back,to 1870. That year Dan
Lamontwasa student in Union College,
Schenectady. John T. Hoffman was Gov
ernor, and Dan Lainont wrote him a letter
asking for an appointment, as one of the
Executive clerks.
•‘Dan wrote that he wa trying to work
his way through college and needed employ
ment to help him through. He mentioned
several prominent Democrats as being his
friends. His letter aud handwriting at
tracted Gov. Hoffman’s attention.
The Governor, however, did not have any
place for him in the Executive Department,
ke referred Dan to Hiram Calkins, the vet
eran newspaper correspondent, who was
Clerk of the Assembly of 1870, who ap
pointed Dan to a place in the Engrossing
Room.
“In the fall of 1874 Dan ran for Assembly
in Cortland county as the Democratic can
didate aud was defeated.
••Samuel J. Tilden was elected Governor
that year aud Dan sought a position in the
Executive Chamber. He came to New
York, saw Hiram Calkins, who introduced
him to Tilden. After the introduction
Tilden asked Calkins if Dan had any rack
ing
“‘Let him get some letters from promi
nent Democrats from Cortland,’ remarked
Tilden.
“Gov. Tilden assumed office on Jan. 1,
1875, hut he did not fix Dan as it was
t hought that he would.
“Calkins was elected Clerk of the Assem
bly of 187.5, aud he took care of Dan. He
appointed him to take charge of the En
grossing Room. While Dan held this
place he became better acquainted with Til
den.
“When John Bigelow took office as
Secretary of State he named Dan as his
chief clerk. After that Dan got into the
good graces of Daniel Manning and took a
position on the staff Of the Albany Argus.
“He proved serviceable to Manning. 4Mu
became the regular Assembly reqiorter for
the Argus, and during the campaign of the
Tilden and Manning forees was clerk of the
State Committee. This position brought
him in contact with all the prominent jxili
ticians of the State, ami Dan having a nat
ural instinct, for politics, was soon thorough
ly versed with tho politics of every county
in the State. , , , _
“When Grover Cleveland became Gov
orner, he appointed Dan his private seere-
In ry
“That’s the story of Dan Lamont up to
the time he entered the White House. 1
have always given Hiram Calkins the credit
of giving Dan nis first start. Hiram is now
one of our Port Wardens.”

CURES FOR INSOMNIA
A Long List of Simple Remedies for
Sleeplessness.
From Good Housekeeping.
it will be interesting to collect the many
remedies that have been suggested for sleep
lessness. A hot showor bath at bedtime
cleanses tho skin and predisposes to sleep, it
is claimed, The “one sure and safe w ay’” is
to take a brisk walk of a mile or two before
going to bed, and then, after the walk, hold
ing the head under a stream of cold water.
This, however, should be done when the
habit of sleeplessness first begins.
A business man with a mechanical turn
of mind should fix up his attic as a carpen
ter’s shop, and spend an hour therein after
supper. A walk of two or three miles a day
is sufficient, says one writer, while another
maintains that nothing will do but horse
back rid.ng. Again, relief for sleeplessness
can be found by wetting a linen ’kerchief,
folding it and plaeing it under the back of
the neck, with a dry cloth under the ’ker
chief to protect the pillow. Still ngnin,
warm the feot by friction, extra wrappers,
etc., and cool the head, either in a draught
or with cold water or ice. One sufferer has
palliated the distress of his vigils by leaving
his tied, lightiug a tire and sittingin a chim
ney corner, reading and eating by turns
until the demon intimated a desire to
depart.
A physician writes that the ’evening
should be a period of relaxation'snd recrea
tion, relief from care and anxiety to lie
found in cheerful conversation, pleasant
games and light reading, while persons of
sedentary occupations are to take plenty of
open air exercise. A feeble circulation is
to be overcome and cold feet are to be
warmed. The stomach is to be attended to
if the digestion is not good If it is over
loaded easy and refraining sleep is imiKis
sililo. Weakly persons and invalids often
find a cup of hot broth or gruel or some
other light and easily digestible food taken
on retiring, to be the liest promotive of
sleep. The bed • hould neither be too hard
nor too soft, nor the clothing too abundant
nor too scanty. All unpleasant sights,
sounds and smells should be .excluded.
Regular and early hours of retiring are es
sential. No victim of insomnia can, with
safety, burn the midnight oil or engage in
evening dissipation. Th man who ob
serves these precautions and adds thereto a
clear conscience and a sound mind has the
promise of unfailing sleep.
A student trouble) 1 with insomnia dis
carded his feather pillow for one of hair
with wonderful effect. The hair pillow
does not get wanned up to an uncomforta
ble degree, because it rapidly conducts away
the heat imparted to it by the head. The
same person found that sleep could be
brought on by simply warming the body,
especially the feet, or by taking a walk, or
by a cold shower or sponge bath, followed
by rubbing with a coarse towel. Getting
out of bed for a few minutes when the air
was cool often brought relief. He had laiu
awake half the night, and then, after being
up long enough to mix and drink a lemonade,
had fallen asleep at once on going t<> lied.
This student found that a light lunch just
before going to bed relieved his brain by’
drawing the blood to tho stomach.
Another victim of sleeplessness found
that a continuous low noise favored sleep.
The sound of water dropping on a pan has
been proscribed by a physician. The expla
nation seems to be that ' simple monoto
nous impression quiets the brain by occupy
ing it, to the exclusion of more varied and
interesting, and therefore stimulating im
pressions. On the saute principle are the
devices of counting backward or forward,
imagining sheep jumping one by one,
through a gate, etc., but they’ are open to
the objection of causing one portion of the
brain to be exerted in order to control the
rest of it.
A man who has “struck upon the right
plan at last,” anu who opens up to the world
something that is calculated to make man
kind rejoice and do away with all drowsi
ness, writes that all you have to do is to
imagine yourself going on a long journey.
Think over the details of it every night
when sleep lags. The plan male him
heaithy’ and happv.
A physician lias one simple remedy,
which requires no medicine. Compose the
mind as much as possible, and confine the
thoughts to one subject, or a number or in
dividual, and close tho eyelids, rolling the
eyes continuously in one direction. In a
short time consciousness will be lost, and
you will be in tho blissful land of dreams.
After an experience of two years, another
man found that he was always able to go to
sleep very shortly after retiring to rest by
keeping iiis eyes looking down: he found
t hat they turned up when he was sleepless
and was cogitating something that kept
him awake.
Vii editor finds relief by wetting a cloth
with cold water and binding it across bis
forehead. Another plan is to draw in a
long, slow breath by tho mouth and to force
the breath out through the nose, imagining
that the currents ran be seen. An attempt
may' also lie made to read an amusing novel
in lied or to repeat a familiar poem, out all
study or serious reading should be stopped
half an hour before going to bed. In a
paper read uv a physician before the Boston
Society for Medical Improvement, he said
that sleeplessness is often caused by starva
tion, and that a tumbler of milk drank in
the middle of the night will often put peo
ple to sloep w hen Hypnotics would fail of
their purpose.
“FLUSH TIMES IN FRISCO.”
When Hack Drivers Made SSO a Day
and Theatre Boxes Were $1,200.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Col. Mike Brannigan, the celebrated guide
and hackman of El Paso, Tex., is on a visit
to this city. Mr. Brannigan said yester
day:
“I have come back to San Francisco for
the purpose of seeing some of my old friends
of the Argonaut days of 184!?, that is, as
many of them as are alive. I car. tell you
some interesting things about early times in
this city. 1 owned and drove the first hack
that ever rumbled over the streets of Sau
Francisco. In 18.5! 1 got 8-50 a night to
drive Catherine Hayes, the famous singer,
and her mother, between the RazetteHouse
and Tom Maguire’s Theatre, which was then
situated on Washington street, between
Montgomery and Kearny. I also got
the sanie sum from several
others at the time for the
same trip. Those were good old days,
and I as well. I suppose, as very many oth
ers. would wish to see them back again. I
saw $1,200 paid for a liox in Maguire’s Tbe
atre ou the opening liigut of Catherine
Hayes's season. A Limerick butcher at
Sacramento paid $1,300 for a box when she
went to the capital city to sing. Dollars iu
those days were more plentiful than nickels
arc now. When the mail steamers would
arrive t have seen a gambler give
a man au ounce of dust 'that is
s!fi) for his place in the long line
of anxious people waiting their turn
outside the oidjjost office, evlsirh whs then
at tho corner of Brenham place and Clay
street. Then you would have to pay sl2 a
dozen for articles t. be laundered, aud men
used to throw soiled underclothing away
aud buy new articles rather than jvay for
washing.
“I remember when I-otta Crabtree first
appeared in this city. Hue used to play a
twin jo aud dance jigs at Gilbert’s Meiodeon
at the corner of Kearny and Clay streets,
and got s<> a week. 1 think that was m
1854 or 1855. Rhc went to Virginia City in
IBio and made a hit. Twenty dollar gold
pieces wer e showered on the stage for her
benefit. My eiuirges then as a hack driver
were SSO a day and alt expenses paid. I
would like to see that state of things again,
and we would have less complaints about
capitalists and the like. Everybody was a
capitalist, in the old days, and if onlv a few
of the wealt.lueHt exist now I don't know
why they ought to be blamed. We all had
a chance to become millionaires, and if we
did not, it can’t he helped, and there is no
use repining.”

DEADLY DRINKING W \TER!
A Universal Epidemic Ca;sed-llow
It May be Avoided
Typhoid fever rages every where!
Wherever cities are depended upon riv
ers or streams for their drinking water, the
fever rages violently. Tbrougl lit the en
tire Southwest and Northwest the wells are
low; the water is of very poor quality; aud
here also the fever rages.
The authorities of Albany, N Y . Chicn
go, Cincinnati, St Louis Philadelphia and
other large cities are warning die people
uot to drink the water without first boiling
it to kill the malarial ami typhn.il germs.
Kurely n winter of malaria and typhoid
will ill prepare our people to encoun
ter a summer of cholera.
Cholera aud typhoid ana malarial fevers
can all be prevented by simple rules of life,
and those rules should be studied by every
one. These diseases are symptoms of a low
state of the system, produced by the vitiated
bioo4.
This blood is made impure because of the
impurities in the drinking water, these im
purities being deadly poisons which paralyze
the nerve action of the kidneys and liver.
When these blood purifying organs are |vir
al y zed, then the natural wasted the body—
the uric acid —accumulates in the blood, and
level- cannot be prevented until this excess
of uric acid has been removed.
The greatest necessity of everyday life is
pure water. Two-thirds of one’s body is
made up of water. If the water we drink is
impure, then how can we hope to escape
diseased conditions?
it is impossible. The stomach, liver and
kidneys cannot purify polluted water.
Some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying this water, hut even the filter
does not remove this poison, for water of
the most deadly character may passthrough
this filter and become dear, yet the poison,
disguised, is there. '
They who use filters know that they must
become renewed at regular periods, for even
though they do not take out all the. impuri
ty, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner the human kidneys
act h.n a filter for the blood, and if they a re
filled up with impurities and become foul
like the filter, all the blood in the system
coursing through them becomes bad, lor it
is now a conceded fact that the kidneys are
the chief means whereby the blood is puri
fied. These organs are filled with thousands
of hair-like tubes, which drain the impuri
ties from the blood, as the setter pipes
drain impurities from our houses.
If a sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewerage escapes into the earth aud fills
the house with poisonous gas, so if any of
the thousand and one little hair-like sewer
tubes of the kidneys -break down, the entire
body is effected by this awful poison.
It is a scientific fact that the kidneys have
few nerves of sensation; and, consequently
di-care may exist in these organs for a long
time and not be suspected by the individual.
It is impossible to filter or take the death
out of tue blood when tbedeastderangement
exists in these organs, and it the blood is not
filtered then the uric arid or kidney fioisou,
"removable only by Warner’s safe cure, ac
cumulates in the system and attacks any
organ, producing nine out of ten ail
ments, just as sewer gas and bad drainage
produces so many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist if
there is any marked departure from ordin
ary health Without apparent known
cause, and it should bo understood by all
that the greatest peri 1 exists and is intensi
fied if there is the least neglect to treat, it
promptly with that great specific, Werner's
safe cure, a remedy that has recieverl the
highest recognition by scientific men. who
have thoroughly investigated the character
of kidney derangements.
The liver when deranged, immediately
announces the fact by sallow skin, c mstipa
ted bowels, coated tongue and headaches;
but the kidney when diseased struggles on
for a long time, and the fact of its disease
can only be discovered by the aid of the mi
croscope or the physical’ who is skillful
enough to trace the most, indirect effects in
the system to the derangement of these or
gans as the prime cause.
