The Crew of the St. Mungo Claim That the Vessel Isa Hungry Ship. Story About the Death of One of the Men—A Statement From the Captain. The British ship St. Mungo arrived in port from Swansea on Thursday night and vesterday morning eight of the crew de- serted and came ashore. They all had hard stories to tell about the ship, and all hands said that she was the hungriest ves- sel they had ever known. The boarding- house runners backed the men in the lat- ter statement, saying that the morning’s meal would not have satisfied a child. On the passage out a negro named ‘Walter Robinson died, and a colored man named Joseph Leach, one of the crew, claims that his shipmate’s death was causea by starvation. “Why,” said he yesterday, “we were short of provisions from the day we sailed. About two weeks after we left Swansea Robinson came down from aloft and told Captain Hamil- ton that he was too sick to work. The captain said that he was only shamming and put him in irons. He kept him there three days and then released him. Rob- inson turned to and worked for five days, when he had to give it up again. Then the captain sent him into the steward’s room aft, and none of the men were al- Jowed to talk to him. The food wasn't fit to eat, and it is not to be wondered at that the poor fellow died. The captain didn’t have the proper kind of medicine and could give him no relief at all. ‘William Patterson, a boy on the vessel, said that he carried two meals to the sick man and the latter told him that he was being starved. “It was a_hungry ship,” said Patterson. *f suppose I have lost five months’ wages " by deserting, but I would rather lose the money than stay by the ship. Not only ‘was there not enough food, but the qualit; of what we did get was something awful.”” *‘The men got all the articles called for,” said Captain Hamilton. *‘The trouble with the crew was that only three of the men were sailors who had ever been around the Horn, and they were con- tinually getting in each other’s way. The man Robinson was in particular a poor sailor, and I did not think he was sick at all. Tam notadoctor, but I pre- scribed for him, and he refused to take the medicine I offered him. He tore a linseed poultice from his chest, and I put him in irons for refusing duty. At the ena of thirty hours he sent for me and apologized. That was early in the voyage and on the Atlantic_side. That was the only time he was confined, and when he again said that he was sick 1 had bim brought aft and placed in the cabin. Itold him that I did ‘not want him to work, as I did not like his style, and asked him to act as a lookout. He refused to do it. As for the food being short, I have nothing to do with that. But the men knew what they were to get, and Lhey"got what they signed for, and more too. MEETING OF FRUIT-GROWERS. Interesting Papers for the Horticultural * Soclety Gathering in Yuba City. The meeting of fruit-growers in Yuba City on May 31 promises to be a very large gathering. At the last meeting of the State Horticultural Society it was decided to hold the next meeting at Yuba Ciiy, and the people in the interior resolved to make it a notable meeting in the history of horticulture. So far, besides the State board, the horticultural societies of Butte, Sutter and Sonoma counties have signified an intention to be present in full members. Other similar societies will also be present. | Upon the arrival of the members of the State board at Marysville they will be met by a delegation from the Sutter County orticultural Society and taken in car- riages to Yuba City. The visitors will be taken through many orchards before the time for meeting. A banquet will be tendered the visitors. The rogramme will be long and interesting. . M. Lelong will make the opening speech in response to the welcome of the Sutter County scciety. Papers and ad- dresses have been prepared by the follow- ing horticulturists: Ralph Hersey of Santa Clara, on “Curing and Preparing Fruit for Commerce.” B. F. Walton of Yuba City, on “Grading nTnddPacking Fruit to Meet the Wants of the rade.” Col%nel H. Weinstock of Sacramento, on ;lm toved Methods of Marketing Deciduous ruits.” A. T. Hatch of Suisun, on “The Outlook for California Almonds.” Frank Buck of Vacaville, on “Fruits for Shlly };il:lg Which Pay Best and How to Handle em.” W. P. Hammon of Biggs, of Fruit to Grow for Profit.” Miss Anna McConnell of Sacramento County, on_“Chrysanthemum-growing.” 15:5: Boyuton of Oroville, on “Growing Citrus Fruits.” General N. P. Chipman of Red Bluff, on “The Future of Horticulture in California’ or some kindred subject. Mrs. Hattie Kells of Yuba City, on “Amateur Floriculture.” GOING TO THE FAIR. Many Interior Counties Preparing for the International Exposition at Atlanta. People in the interior of the State are becoming interested in the California ex- hibit that will be sent by the State Board of Trade to the International Exposition at Atlanta, Ga., early in the fall. Reports have been received by Secretary J. A. Fil- cher from those now exhibiting at the board’s rooms on Market street, stating that preparations are being made for re- plenishing the county exhibits before the outfit is shipped East. As this isa very favorable season it is believed that the California exhibit will be the finest that ever crossed the State line. Several counties not members of the Board of Trade have expressed a determi- nation to join the procession by becoming members and sending exhibits from their Jocalities to the Southern exposition. The Bupervisors of Monterey County have promised to subscribe and make a collec- tion at once, not only of the natural products of the soil, but'of a large number of curiosities and articles of interest con- nected with the oldest town in the State, Monterey. This will include many relics of the early Spanish settlers and mis- sionaries. — - . NORWAY'S INDEPENDENCE. It Is Fittingly Celebrated by the Local Norwegians. The Norwegian Independence day was celebrated by all good Norsemen in Sara- toga Hall Friday evening, where an enter- tainment and dance was given by the Norwegian Society of this city. The programme was made up of scenes from the history of Norway and speeches telling of her past and present greatness. The opening number was a tableau, show- ing the VikingN ahigvon its voyage of dis- covery to the New World in the year 1000. During the time the tableau was being shown George Heineman, vice-president of the society, told the story of the voy: westward toward the setting sun asthe Norse traditions have handed it down for years, and the singing society sang, at the going down of the curtain, the national air of Norway. General Barnes then spoke, his address being a commentary upon Nor- way and its history. Then there was more &ngm n"‘éd t%en the floor :n: cleared n:!d e pa ic Norwegians danced till mid- night in honor of their far- land. on ‘‘Best Varieties —————— The Mechanics’ Institute’s $600.

The Privy Council of England is an assembly of advisers on matters of state appointed by the sovereign. The list of the Privy Council now includes the members of the royal family, the Archbishops of Canterburyand of York, the Bishop of London, the great officers of state, the Lord Chanceilor and the Lord Chief Jus- tice, the Lord Justice of Appeals, Judges of the courts of equity, the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Law, the ecclesiastical ana admiralty Judge, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Embassadors, some of the Ministers Plenipotentiary and Governors of colonies; the Commander-in-Chief, the Master- General of the Ordnence, the First Lord of the Admiralty and generally a Junior Lord of the Admiralty, as well as necessarily all members of the Cabinet,and the vice-presideni of the Board of Trade. The paymaster of the forces and of the Poor Law Board are also generally members of the Privy Council and sometimes persons who have held responsible positions under the crown. At this time no members of the Privy Council attend the deliberations ex- cept those who have been specially summoned. SHAKERS AND QUAKERS—L. L. H., Point Tibu- ron, Marin County, Cal. The Shakers are a re- ligious denomination founded in Manchester, England. The proper official designation of this sect, existing only in the United States, is the ‘‘United Society of Believers in Chuist’s Second Appearing.” The founder of this sect, in whose person they believe Christ appeared 8 second time, was Ann Lee, who emigrated from Manchester to New York in 1774, The Quakers are officially known as the Society of Friends, Inlaw the Friends differ from their fellow-citizens chiefly as regards marriages and taking oaths. They are & sect founded in Eng- 1and about the middie of the seventeenth cen- tury by George Fox. It is perhaps more in the spirit than in the letter of their faith that the Society of Friends differ from other Christians. The epistle by Fox and other Friends to the Governor of Barbadoes in 1763 contains a con- fession of faith that doesnot differ teriall; from the so-called Apostles’ Creed, except that it is more copiously worded and dwells with greater diffuseness on the work of Christ. BILLIARDS—J. H., City. There is an ordi- nance of this City and County which reads as follows: It shail be unlawful within the City and County of San Francisco for any proprietor, bartender, clerk or any other person having the charge or control of any saloon, barroom, billiard-room or pooleoom, or any oter public place or place open to ublic view, o permit any person under the age of 8 years to play Or engage in or be present at any game of billiards, pool or of cards, and it shall like- wise be unlawful for any person under the age of 18 years (o play or e inor be present at any game of billiards, or of cards in any public pluce or place open (o public view within the City and County of Francisco. ExTrADITION—J. W. 8., City. If Lambert, the men charged with forgery and embezzlement, had fled to British Columbia instead of Hon- | olulu he could have been extradited under the firovlsinns of the extradition treaty with Great ritain. That treaty appiied to the Dominion of Canada as well as to England. While there is no_extradition with the Hawaiian Islands, the Government there, by virtue of an act passed in 1849, takes upon itself the power to remove from its territory any person, who by reason of the commission of crime in another country, is not & person desirable to have on thie islands, and when notified by proper proof that a party who has taken refuge on any of the islands is a fugitive from justice, it has no hesitancy to surrender such fugitive to an offi- cer authorized to receive him. LA MaF1A—J. N, and R. R., City. On the 15th of October, 1890, C. Hennessey, Chief of Police of New Orleans, was assassinated at the en- trance to his house, and just before he died he exclaimed, “Dagos!” From this, the only word he spoke after receiving his death wound, it was inferred that the crime had been com- mitted by & band of oath-bound men called La Mafia, because the Chief had been instrumentgl in bringing to jnstice members of the band wanted for murder and other crimes. There were several trials of parties charged with the crimes, but no convictions. Finally, six men accused of the murder of the Chief were tried, but it was & mistrial. On the night of the 14th of March, 1891, a mob broke into the County Jail and lynched eleven Sicilians who were ac- cused of participativn in the crimes attributed to the Mafia. STAR ROUTE FRAUDS--A., L., City. Star route isaname applied to postal lines over which the mails cannot be carried by either railroads or steamboats, and they are designated on the postoffice list by three stars, hence the name. In1881 Second Assistant Postmaster- General T. J. Brady and others, including Sen- ator Dorsey of Arkansas, were accused of con- spiring with certain mail contractors to de- fraud the Government. There were 134 routes and the compensation was $143,169. By i creasing the number of trips each week, short- ening the contract time and charging therefor, the compensation was raised to $622,808. The parties accused were tried, but there was no conviction. PHONOGRAM—O. 8., City. The phonograph was invented by Edison in 1877. It is a small cylinder made to turn on a metal shaft, which has a spiral groove cut on its surface corre- sponding with the threads cut in the shaft. riginally there was spread over the cylinder a sheet of tinfoil secured on the edge by some highly adhesive substance. In late and im- proved machines wax or some other plastic substance is used in the cylinders, as it is found to retain the impressions better. This cylinder is called the phonogram. Mr, Edison has patented his invention, and he has not given the public what ingredients he uses in making the phonograms. . MERCANTILE LiBRARY—L., Watsonville, Santa Cruz County, Cal. On the 19th of February, 1869, the Legislature of this State passed a special act empowering the Mercantile Library Association of San Francisco to violate the law by slving gift concerts at which property could be distributed by lottery. This was done toen- able the association to raise money to sustain itself. A great many people helped along the unlawful scheme by’ purchasing a great many tickets, and the majority of those who pur- chased tickets, as in all lotteries, had nothing to show for their money but a worthless bit of E:per. The obnoxious law was repealed by the gislature of 187172, BicYcLE FIGURES—C. W. F., Oakland, Cal. Every firm of any prominence in the United States at this time claims to be manufacturing the greatest number of bicycles daily, so there is no certainty as to which is in the lead. There are 126 factories making wheels at this time, and ‘it is calculated that -the aggregate output for the current year will be 500,000 ma- chines. If the Query Column could obtain the figures showing which firm built the greatest number of machines it wonld not publish the same, under the rule that does not allow the E::lfahmg in this department of any adver- 'ment of any firm orindividualsor anything amounting to an advertisement. PROPERTY TAX—F. A. B, Oakland, Cal. The collection of personal property tax s now be- ing made under the law passed by the last Legislature. Instead of sending out notices as in the past, the Tax Collector now sends out his deputies, who are empowered to make col- lections. Their instructions are that they shall make the demand for the amountof the tax one day and if 1t is not paid then that they shall call the next. If not paid they are em- powered to seize enough personal property to satisfy the amount of the tax. THE SHERMAN AcT—A. N., City. The Sher- man act was a bill submitted by Senator Sher- man of Ohio and passed July 14, 1890. It pro- vided that the Secretary of the Treasury should purchase 4,500,000 ounces of silver monthly at market prices, and to issue in_payment ore - treasury notes redeemable on de- mand in coin. It also provided that not less than 2,000,000 ounces of this silver should be minted monthly into standard silver dollars The purchasing clause of the act was repealed October 30, 1893. TIME ALLOWED—H. M., City. If & German who left Germany without having performed his military duty in that country comes to the United States, becomes a citizen thereof and is required to perform the military service he has escaped; but as a_courtesy to the United States the notifieation is not carried into effect. The delinquent is informed that his visit must not extend beyond four months, and that if it does he will be required to perform military service. STANDARD TIME—A. City. Standard time was established primarily for the convenience of the railroads. In 1883 an agreement was entered into to regulate train and local time. According to this system the United States ex- terding from 65 to 125 west longitude is di- vided into four sections each of 15 degrees of longitude, exactly equivalent to one hour. Standard time is uniform inside each of these sections, and the time of each section differs from the niext to it by just one hour. . OUT OF 8EASON—C. H. S., City. The new fish and game law declares that it is unlawful to kill quail in this State between the 15th of Feb- ruary and the 15th of August of each vear, and that it is unlawful to kill doves between the 15th of February and the 1st of July. The law does not permit the owner of private lands to give his consent to any one to kill either quail or doves on his premises during the closed sea- son, nor does it permit the owner of the land to kill such upon his own premises during that season, PALAcE HoTEL—H. S. and T. D. A. B, City. The Palace Hotel in this City was built for William C. Ralston, who was president of the Bank of California, and who died August 27, 1875. The building, which has a frontage of 275 feet on Market street by a depth of 250 feet, was commenced in 1872, cost $3,250,000 and is 120 jeet high, was finished and opened in October, 1875. J. P. Gaynor was the archi- tect. The '‘Query Column is unable to obtain the list of the many contractors who had any- thing to do with the construction, GERMANY AND FRANCE—W. C. B, City. In time of peace the numerical strength of the German army is: Men 546,136, horses 107,- 850 and guns 283G; for war footing it is, officers and men 3,754,954, horses 257,859 and guns 4748. That of France is, in peace, men 567,464, horses 158,382 and guns 2280; for war footing, men 3,723,385, horses 379,122 and guns 10,742. In the number of guns for the French army is included those in garrisons and fortresses. A NaMe—Constant Reader, Cotati, Sonomsa County, Cal. [iaman after marriage assumes the family name of his mother instead of that of his father, and is ever after that known by that name and children are vorn of that unjon, the children bear the name that the father is known by. If those children are afterward married under the name that their father was known by, and by which they were known, the fact that their father had adopted sinmher name would not invalidate the mar- riages. INTERNATIONAL CoPYRIGHT—F. B., City. The international copyright law gives authors the right to copyright their works in certain coun- tries which have entered in the Copyright Unicn. By Eroclnmauon of the President of the United States the right of citizens of a foreign - nation to copyright in the United Btates extends to Great Britain and her posses- sions, France, Germany, ltaly, Beigium, Portu- gal, Denmark and Swiizerland. BEAT MAUD §—E. R., City. The record for 1894 shows that the horses that have beaten Maud §'s time (trotting) are: Alix 2:08)%, Nancy Hanks 2:04, Directum 2:05!4, Fantasy 2:06, Ralph Wilkes 2:06)4, Stamboul 2:07%%, Arion, Kremlin and Ryliad T 3073, e Wilkes 2:08, Azote, Pix! eg, Sunol and Tresvil- lian Hulda and Pheebe Wilkes. 2:0814. Maud 8's time of 2:083 has been equaled by Bella Vera, Lord Chester and Palo Alto. STREET SWEEPINGS—C. F. T., City. All the street sweepings of San Francisco are carted to & point near Sixth and Townsend streets, where they are dumped into cars specially built and taken by the Southern Pacific Com- pany to Golden Gate Park, where they are used for fertilizing purposes. For transportation the railroad company receives $5 a switch from the Merchants’ Association that is having the streets swept. AN INVENTION—E. R. M., Truckee, Nevada County, Cal.
