yet the visitors saw so much that they expressed themselves more than paid for any inconvenience they suffered, and when' they returned to San Francisco it was a tired but withal a good-natured crowd that disembarked in the rain and went skurryiog out in search of some rapid transit to the various hotels. The passenger list included almost every delegate who had been in attendance at the congress, apd the absolute absence of anything that looked like formality was the best proof that the Congress was made tip of large-hearted Westerners, who carry their whole-Sealed way with tbem wherever they go. The -Piedmont was first headed south. after, a start had been, made, and she steamed down past the wharves south of the ferry, where scores of sailing vessels lying, with their masts like a forest, and also a number of ocean steamers in the vicinity ci the Mail dock. They were regarded enthusiastically by the visitors.

Dodge Beaten on the Street. THE THIEF GOT NO BOOTY. He Was Frightened Off by His Victim's Cries. HIS ARREST WAS PROMPT. It Is Thought There Is Plenty of Evidence to Convict the Bold Offender.

One of the most brutal assaults, accompanied'by an attempt to rob, that has been made since the footpads began their depredations several mouths ago wns committed last night about 8 o'clock on Essex street, near the corner of Foisom. Mrs. I). J. Dodge, an elderly whitehail ed lady, wno lives at the Grosvenor House on Sutter street, below Stockton, was set upon by a burlr fellow- while she was on her way to the Maria Kip Orphanage, 570 Harrison street, and beaten unmercifully.

Her assailant then attempted to search her uockets for booty but, frightened oy her screams, fled before he had succeeded in getting anything. The victim's cries attracted the attention of a number of persons ln tbe vicinity, and several boys pursued the fugitive up Essex street and into Foisom. Here Officers Meehan and Minm-him put in a timely appearance and anon had the handcuffs on the thief, who, seeing tbat be now had men to en' with, lost his belligerent spirit and calmly submitted to arrest, He was taken to the Southern police station and locked up on a charge of assault to rob. was assisted to her feet by persons Jwho had witnessed the assault and was then conveyed to the orphan' It was some time before she had sufSi-i---eot recovered from the shock and cxci fiuent into which she bad been thrown mi tbat she could be tnken to her home where she related the details of the assault to a Call reporter. "1 am a teacher at the Maria Kip Orphanage," sue said, "and every Saturday evening I go there to attend the weekly teachers' mt-e'ing.

"Last ight I was walking alone Essex street, carrying besides my umbrella several parcels, which I held in my arms. I bad proceeded a short distance up the hill when I observed a solitary man was walking behind me. lam so accustomed to the route that I felt perfectly and for a time did not suspect that I was being purposely followed. Presently, though, the man came so close that he annoyed me, and I paused to let him pass me. "When he had gone step or two in advance he stopped, and, turning quickly, dealt me a blow on the left side of the face.

1 was knocked off the si walk into the mud In the street, and then, l'think, 1 was (truck again. At all events I was that the man was feeling for my watch or pocket. I screamed with all my might, and 1 was told tha I made a great noise. It is sufficient to know that I made myself heard, and in a few moments some perrons came to my assistance. "My 'memory of what followed is not clear.

I know that 1 was taken to the orphanage, here after a while I recovered the great fright and shock I had received. 1 sent for my son. who is an artist on oceof.the morning papers, aud he brought me home. I was covered with mud, and my face, as you see, is swollen on the right side where I was struck. "I cannot tell now whether the blow was deal with tiie band or a sandbar, thought I am inclined to the belief that a weapon was used.

The band or any other weapon than a sandbag would probably have cut the flesh, for the blow was delivered with sufficient force to knock me or! my feet and Mat into the Mrs. Dodge was asked if she thought she could identify the man who assailed her, and said Hi it she was afraid she cou not. "lam near siebted," she said, "and can scarcely recogn'ze people on the street in the day time, and I would not he willing swear to the identity of the man. The man under arrest has the same general appearance as the man Mo struck me and that is all 1 would be willing to say. i have been using urnica on my face and the swelling is subsiding.

i am thanklul to have escaped so easily." As to the identification of the robber the police say that they have caught the right man. The men and boys who chased him saw the assault and never lost sight of him. He. was ln full flight when the officers confronted and caught him. At the statlou the prisoner gave the name of Paul Montague and said he was a machinist by trade.

He is a Scotchman an.d a strong stout man of medium size, who looks- as i he could deal a heavy blow. He was not Inclined to talk of the exploit which will probably land him in the penitentiary, and accepted Hie situation, with stolid "Indifference. He had no property or money on his person when searched and no weapon. He said he had been out of employment for some time and was led to commit the assault by poverty and dcs, erati id.

Y. Sun. Not so very long ago a scientific wiseacle of this Mate hid never had the pleasure of meeting with a gypsy moth, BlaoS lint frivolous criature h.d not journeyed Into the old Bay State at the time, sent word to a friend In a faraway land, the home of the insect, saying: "Please me a gypsy moth ric.bt away: I waul to look at him; I want to study him." So the friend, Wbo was an obedient char, went into his gulden, and with no trouble caught a gypsy moth, one of a large band of the moths who were encamped there and had eaten about everything iv the neighborhood except the hoti and the toughest nails of the fence, and he put him in a ventilated box and mailed him to the entomologist In The gypsy mo at rived safely at bis destination, and the scientific sharp went to work wiili Ins jaikkuile at his cage to disentomb him. He was so lively mat be easily stood on his bead and scraped his hind legs together in the air, so that the wi-e mau might know, peibaps, that he was glad to know him. He was just as aft he had beeu carved out of bis mummy case, but the entomologist was light-lingered also, and be expeitly caught his Visitor by his sail feathers, and then went out on his to scrutinize bim In a strong light througb his ine-glass.

But the gypsy moth was -maiii ihau ihe scientific an, evident very much smarter, and he had not traveled over laud and water several thousand miles- to be stuck on a in and make an entomological Somas holiday. He hided ins lime, and when the learned man bad 111 ped him over on his back, holding him (till by the tail, but with a slightly slackened gilp, and was to chuck Ins microscope down upon him, presto he suddenly gathered blmsell Into a knot, spasmodic. yanked himself away from glass. slid down to the veronci.i floor, and wns oil ihe garden la a jiliv. The scientific man gaped at lnm Inciedulously for an instant, and set off along the gard' walk and across the green sward, salng down sweat peas and clover blossoms in a perfectly futile endeavor toiecanture hlui.

That gypsy moth got entirely away and never came back, and keen and soie was the disappolniiniii of entomologist tneicat. Sore, also, lias been ihe disappointment of the old Bay hea then-forever since -the luckless escape of the gypsy moth took place a number of fears ago. iiut though he is gone he is by no means forgotten. The gypsy moth of the scientific man followed the Biblical injunction. "Multiply and replenlsb the earth," and the point ol this history is In ibe tact thai that little incident by which the entomologist let go ihe tail fathers of the gypsy moth has cost the Male of Massachusetts over In the past foui yeais.

Soon after ihe gypsy moth got away ihe Bay Stale had to appoint a Slate commission, whose basiaaas it was toga and find him. together witb his progeny, and the commission found him easily and In a large majority. Each year now they keep on looking for and finding htm in a steadily augmenting hoide. No trouble at all. He is always oh (i ck.

Last year's work of the commission, according to a Springfield paper, "Included thexamination ot 4,000,000 trees and destruci ion of 40,100 egg clusters, all belonging to the gypsy moil), and ever 1,000.000 caiei pillars. Now," comments ibe snme journal, "an priation ot si -'ii, with which to hod and tight the gypsy moth is asked, and it is a choice tweeu constant tight to the extermination and tbe loss on ihe other hand of something like $1,000,000 yearly by the ravages of the A COPPER CENT. The Man Wore It on His Watch Chain 89 a Temperance Reminder. Buffalo Ext resi. "I never see a.

copper cent without thinking of a curious fad 1 had when I was about 25 years old," said an elderly man who sat waiting for a train In tbe ntral statlou. "I was I rather wild those days, and I used to go on big sprees on every occasion and with the slightest excuse. "I noticed after each spree, naturally, that I had but Utile money in my pockets and that most of It was of the one-cent denomination. After one particularly long and exciting tussle with the rosy 1 came to and found one cent In my poc et. That was all I bad.

I penitent, and as a reminder of the money I squandered, I had a bole drilled la that cent, I and tiling It on mv waich chain. Every time 1 felt an Inclination to get out and make things rustle I looked at the cent and lefralued. One day. however, I quite forgot myself, and I away I went on a bat thai was a coiker. I straightened out after a while aua found the usual collection of coppers In my pocket, but not a suspicion of any money much larger than a quai er.

I took one of the cent pieces and had it soldered on the oilier one and wore the two on my watchchaln as a reminder and a preventive. "It the same old story.
