President Manuel of the City Council said to-day: Of course we whatever the creditof the we will do itif preme Court does not decide by October 1,0r if the decision should be against the legality of the bonds, we would first take what the treasury and use it to money we have i igations, and next we would meet the city's appeal to the banks Some of the mem by ready consulted a nu express a willingness financial standing o i the Council have al- 1ber of bankers, and they 10 8id in seeing that the the city shall not suffer by reason of nog having money to pay these bonds on October 1.

Rabbi Friedlander at the First Hebrew Congregation. The Jewish New Year services were con- cluded this evening in the synagogue of the First Hebrew congregation. There was an unusually large attendance, and the lecture of Rabbi Friedlander was one of the most stirring that he has delivered. The rabbi’s course was based on the fes- tival of Rosh Hashono, and was in part a rical w of the progress of the race the past year.

LE HE FT NO WILL. Pioneer Farmer Patterson’s Widow Searched for One in Vain. Mrs. Clara W. Patterson, widow of George W. Patterson, whodied a week ago, has applied for letters of administration on his estate, which is valued at $500,000. She asserts that a th®rough search has been made for a will, but that one has not been jound. There are three heirs—the widow, Henry H.,aged 17, and William D., aged 14 years. The decedent’s fortune was accumulated in the raising of grain. He was one of the earliest waite settlers in Alameda County, and at once pinned his faith on grain. While many others who had grown up with him forsook that for horticulture, he contended that grain was the safer crop of the two, and he did not deviate from his views. That was what he told the State Board of Equalization when he went to Sacramento a month ago and argued against a raise of Alameda County assess- ments. Patterson’s wealth was earned by a very scrupulous attention to the details of farm- ing. Nothing was too small to escape his noti He was able to estimate to a small fraction the exact productive value of each acre under cultivation, and its net gain or loss per acre was always before him. His fidelity to his calling accounted in great measure for his success. ‘He was a public- spirited citizen, and he made the public school system almost a hobby. He de- lighted in helping to promote its useful- ness. He was a good man, and he left many stanch friends to mourn his death. New Church Officers. At the annual meeting of the First Con- gregational Church the following officers were elected: Trustees—S. T. Alexander, Guy C. Earl, Cary Howard, J. B. Richard- son, R. W. Snow, W. R. Thomas and George T. Hawley. Deacons—Harold Jones, E. C. Williams, E. D. Curtis, R. H. Chamberlain, P. A. Fowler, George Bur- beck and C. Z. Merntt. The following officials were elected: Deaconess, Mrs. C. K. Kellogg; clerk of the church, Miss Rose M. Taylor; treas- urer of benevolent fund, Henry K. Snow; nominating committee—James M. Haven, John T. Agard and James B. Merriam: auditing committes—L. E. Boardman, J. F. Kennison and Herbert F. Kellogg. Keir Hardie is Ill. Eugene Hough. secretary of the Federal Labor Union, received a dispatch to-day from J. Keir Hardie, the English Socialist, It Lake City, in which he an- nounces his illness and inability to kee] his appointments on the coast. This will cancel the meeting at Germania Hall to- morrow evening, also any others which have been made to have him speak in this vicinity. Mr. Hough said that there was no doubt of Hardie coming on to the coast as soon as he isable, which he believed would be soon. Exceeded Their Limit. Several of the interior County Boards of Bchool Trustees have been issuing orders in excess of the revenue for the current year. This is declared illegal by the Dis- trict Attorney, as the State constitution declares that the expenses of one year can- not be paid out of the revenue of the next year. Orders issued in excess of the reve- hue for & given year cannot be honored. Some of the trustees have rendered them- selves liable to large amounts 1n this man- ner should collections be enforced. To Receive Pastor Garnett. A call has been issued by the Baptist church of San Jose for the appointment of the pastor and one delegate from all the Baptist churches in Central California to attend a conference at that church, on the Z4th inst., to pass upon the reinstatement of Rev. J. H. Garnett to a full standing in the Baptist ministry. The First Baptist Church of this city will be represented by Rev. C. H. Hobart and J. P. Cogswell. A Widow’s Homestead. The estate of George Langhorne, first officer of the ill-fated Colima, consisting of In homestead in Alameda County, will soon be conveyed to the widow. A peti- tion was filed in the Superior Court to-day by Mrs. Langhorne asking that this be done. The homestead is worth $4000. There are two minor children. Fixed the Tax Levy. % The City Council held a long meeting to-night and finally fixed the tax levy at $118. Watkinson was absent, and Bassett, Heitman and Brosnahan voted against the ordinance, which obtained the remaining seven votes. Should the Mayor veto the ordinance one more vote would be required to pass it over the yeto, and it is probable that this cannot be obtained unless Wat- kinson very unexpectedly goes over to the majority. Auxious About Her Daughter. Mrs. Josephine Farrell of Alameda re- ceived a letter from her young daughter yesterday, in which she fold her mother that she was about to marry a young man named Richardson. Mrs. Farrell called on the County Clerk and asked him not to issue a license, as her daughter would not be 18 years of age till December. HISTORY OF A DAY.

Carefully Made Her WIll Before She Took Passage on the Sydney. 0AxLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCIECO CALL,) 908 Broadway, Sept. 19. | Mrs. Luttrell, the aged mother of Isaac Luttrell, an Osakland letter-carrier, left by the steamer City of Sydney yesterday-for an ocean trip to New York. Mrs. Luttrell is nearly 90 years old, has never been out of Shasta County since she moved there in the early 40’'s—more than half a century ago—till she came to Oakland this week; she is the mother of thirteen children, which number is regarded by her as a su- perstitious omen, and several little inci- dents that have happened since she left ler mountain home caused her to remark that her whole journey will be a fight against superstition. One of the results of Mrs. Luttrell’sexpe- rience with what she considers evil omens was the making of her will so that in case anything happens to the Sydney there will be no dispute over her property, which consists of a large estate in Shasta County. Mrs. Luttrell was preatly im- pressed with the death of the Whiting family on board the Colima, and decided to make her will in a similar manner to that of Professor Whiting. Mrs. Luttrell is making the journey all alone, and refused to be accompanied by any one or to be dissuaded from attempt- ing the long journey. If she returns all right, and there is no reason why she should not, as her trip has been carefully lanned by Baron Baroteau of this city, it 1s the intention of Mrs. Luttrell to make a tour of the world. AN INVALID ORDINANCE. The Sausalito Court Is Powerless to Punish Offenders for Certain Misdemeanors. Thelocal tribunal for the adjudication of ordinary disturbances in Sausalito is pow- erless to punish a resident of that pretty town for calling his neighbor bad names. The trial of the case of the people vs. C. A. Rosen, charged with provoking his neigh- bor, Charles Scott, with slanderous names, has developed the fact that ordinance No. 8 is invalid. It had served to keep down a oodly quantity of ill nature until it was discovered by Barrister Silva of Mill Val- ley, counsel for defendant, that it was im- perfect as to its signature. The ordinance was passed in October, 1893, while Captain Dexter, the town clerk, was doing Europe. When that official re- turned he set about writing up his_record and when he came to ordinance No. 8 he, engrossed the same and attached his sig- nature thereto, contrary to the statute in such cases made and provided. But Judge Pryor, the Town Recorder, gained one point in the trial. He made it manifest that the court was no respecter of persons nor personages in the matter of jury duty. Formerly the Sausalito juries ave been picked up aloneWater street, but in this trial Constable Creede was sent out among the rich and prominent gentle- men, and the twelve men good and true were selected from as fine specimens of business and professional men as ever did business in San Francisco and slept in the quiet village of Sausalito. The trial was set for 7 P. M. in order to accommodate the veniremen who arrived on the evening beat, and no ordinary excuse served to re- lease them from jury duty. “Gentlemen,” said Judge Pryorin ad- dressing the jury, ‘‘you are the kind of people who demand an improvement in the morals of Sausalito. I shall expect you to aid in the accomplishment of the reform, and when a new ordinance shall be drawn the reformation will begin in dead earnest.” A new magazine rifle invented by an Italian fires twenty cartridges automatic- ally without requiring any change of posi- l tion on the part of the soldier. NMILLAN AND HIS MEN, The Reliance Captain Talks About His Football Team. WRESTLER LEAN TRAINING. Racine Is Galning Rapidly and Will Probably Take His Old Place. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcrsco CALL,} 908 Broadway, Sept. 19. Captain McMillan of the Reliance foot- ball team will line up his men for the ftirst time on Saturday. “We should have gone into active train- ing two weeks ago,” said the captain to- day, **but the directors did not make their arrangements for the baths and grounds as soon as they should have done. We have been practicing in the evenings for nearly two weeks, but we go into hard training to-morrow, and as only six weeks remain we have no time to spare. “Our team will be a strong one, and I shall be satistied with it, although as the team against which we shall compete have already been two weeks in training, we are somewhat handicapped. Asnear asI can see now our team will be selected from these men. Sullivan will play center and Bert Oliver will take his old part of left guard. Either Erskine or Wilber will be right guard, and for right tackle, I hope, Racine. Racine has been sick for some time, but he is fast picking up and getting heavy and I think he can get into condition in time. Left tackle I shall take m¥self. For right end J. Sherrard will play, and for left end either Wyckoff or Atherton. McPike is doing good work at quarterand so is Brown, and both will probably be included in the team. Clemans and Walton will play halves. For fullback Al Lean, the wrestler, may be my choice. Heis a new man and womleriufl) active 2nd runs well. He does not know much_about the game. “Anderson of the High School team may go as substitute for halfback in an emergency, and Lanyon of the High School can be used for either tackle or end. Both are strong young players. Altogether we will have to take about five substitutes. ‘“We leave here about the 19th of next month and go straight to Portland. From there to Tacoma and Seattle, and we may play at Butte, Mont., as they have an ex tra-good team there, and then we go East.” The severest loss which the eleven has sustained this year is the absence of “Brick’’ Whitehouse, the tackle, who also did all the punting for the team last year. Whitehouse is now traveling in th. as busin manager for the Hawai band, and will not be able to go into train- ing this season. It is not yet decided who will take his place. SECOND ADVENT OF CHRIST The Rev. J. H. Allen Explains His Theory of the Approaching Millennium, OAKLAND OFFicE Sax Frawcisco CArL,) 808 Broadway, Sept. 19. § Last evening a large and varied congre- gation filled the Asbury Methodist church to hear Rev. J. H. Allen preach on the second coming of Christ, or as Mr. Allen put it, *“The Beginning of the End.” The audience was composed of many classes of people. There were inquirers, those whose opinions were open for conviction, and the majority of the crowd were those drawn to the meeting out of sheer curiosity. Every corner and nook in the church was occupied and those who could not get regular seats gladly sat upon the floor or stood throughout the entire evening to listen to the lecture. The nearest appreach to a clergyman in the house was Rey. Mr. Stovall, a retired Methodist minister, and Rev. F. F. Young of the Whole Gospel Mission, formerly a Presbyterian divine. Three Salvation Army uniforms were seen, [heinterested Eeople were mostly elderly people, gray- aired men and women. Mr. Allen began his lecture by saying the figures by which he would atfempt to prove his point were not in the Scriptures in a straightforward way, but were uniquely concealed in God’s own way, to be searched out by his children. Passages were read proving that God has frequently used days for years in the Bible, and by reckoning according to this system figures were calculated on a blackboard to show that the return of Christ to the earth will take place within the next three years to begin his reign on earth. He said: “We have the correct time recorded in the heavens (astronomically) and in the Bible we can make no mistake.” The eighth chapter of Daniel and four- teenth verse were read and also the fifth chapter of Ezekiel as one of the proofs by substituting the word days for years. Why the Lord chose to do this he'could not expiain, but he knew there was some ‘‘good reason for this concealment.” Sep- tember 26, 1896, was set as the “beginning of the end” and days of terror and tribula- tion for the wicked. Before Mr. Allen had fairly got into his lecture people began leaving, so he was forced to postpone the' essential part until to-morrow night. As the crowd arose to go he called out: “Don’t go vet. I Want some money to pay for this hall, lights, printing, and, if there is any left, 'some for the preacher.”’ By the time he got his message delivered the hall was about empty, and the collec- tion was doubtless small. LATE: NEWS OF ALAMEDA, An Agent Who Advanced Money to Bind a Realty Deal. Complaint Flled In the Justice’s Court for the Recovery of the Money and Costs. ALAMEDA, CAL., Sept. 19.—Captain E. D. Judd to-day brought suit against T. H. Speddy for the recovery of $100, and re- quested that the defendant be arrested for fraudulent acts. The complaint was filed with Justice Morris and sets forth that Speddy represented himself as a man of means and expressed adesire to purchase a certain piece of real estate, of which Judd was the agent. Believing that he had a good customer Speddy was offered four lots on Dayton avenue, near Paru street, for $4160. The defendant decided to buy the prop- erty, but said that he had not the ready cash with him, but expected a large remit- tance in a few days. Judd advanced $100, to which sum Bpeddy contributed $20, which he paid as a deposit to bind the bargain. The plaintiff concludes the com- plaint in the following language: He made false and fraudulent representa- tions when he said he was & man of meansand expected a remittance. But this is not all. After having kindly assisted the defendant and paid over to the owner of said propert: $120 on the 16th day of July, 1895, he hu{ gll to demand of plaintiff the unmitigated that he return to him said $20 which he had paid on said deposit. ‘The defendant was requested to refund the $100 prior to bringing the suit, but flatly refused, Judd requests that the de- fendant be arrested for his frandulent acts and he have judgment for $100 and costs. Had a Narrow Escape. A schoolboy saw smoke coming from the basement at 2246 Alameda avenue yes- terday afternoon and turned in an alarm from box 38. Porter School had just been dismissed ana two boys had a narrow escape from serious injury by the hook and ladder. In making a short turn at the corner of Park street and Alameda avenue at high speed one of the horses slipped and fell, sliding from the railroad track to the sidewalk. ‘The apparatus also landed on the sidewalk, scattering pedes- trians in both directions. A small boy in some unexplained manner found himself tangled up in the singletree, but escaped by crawling out under the wheels without a'scratch. The fire in the basement was to dispose of rubbish. The department was called out about 10 o’clock last night for a fire in the Ahlborn residence on High street, caused b{ the explosion of a coal-oil lamp. The blaze was extinguished before the department arrived. Gave a False Address. William Hammond reported to the police last night the theft of a bicycle from his cyclery on Park street, A middle-aged man called yesterday and rented a wheel and wrote his name on the register as George Tnompson, 2127 Railroad avenue. When it was time to close up the stranger had not revurned. Policeman Welch visited the number on Railroad avenue and learned that no one by theabovename was known there. The wheel stolen was a Premier and was worth about $95. Report on the Incandescent Plant. A report which will be of much interest to taxpayers will be filed by the city elec- trician next Monday night. It will be the first report of the incandescent lamp_sys- tem, and will show the revenue the city is deriving from the plant. The report will also contain statements for public offices at the same rate the city has been paying for gas. Dr. Sander Brings Suit, Dr. A. Sander brought suit before Justice Morris to day against Joseph Melczer to recover $209 damages for breach of a war- ranty. Sander recently bought a mare from Melczer which was guaranteed to_be gentle and kind and without blemish.

City Clerk Lamborn received a reply from™ Senator White this afternoon, in which he expressed his willingness to assist in securing an appropriation for the completion of the tidal canal. He may visit Alameda on a tour of inspection next Monday afternon. Musical Concert. Bernard Mollenhauer gave a musical concert at Armory Hall to-night under the direction of Sinnard & Redfield. A feature of the entertainment was Franz Hell's execution on the flugelhorn. The programme comprised eight numbers. HIS HONOR I THE DUST Mayor Davie Meets With a Serious Fall From His Wheel. More Than Ever Convinced That Streetcar Tracks Need Re- pairing. | OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO C:\LL,% 908 Broadway. Sept. 19. Mayor Davie had a fall to-day, and the resultant bruises are not likely to encour- age him to veto the repairing of streetcar tracks just ordered by the Council. The accident to his Honor occurred on San Pablo avenue, and was witnessed by a large force of street-repairers who were working at macadamizing the avenue. This afternoon he was notified that the appropriation of $1000 to repair San Pablo avenue had all been spent, and that an- other thousand would be acceptable to the Street Superintendent. Off went the Mayor at top speed to inspect the work, nor did he stop pedaling till he reached the scene of the work. The tracks on San Pablo avenue are much worn, and when a cyclist rides the slot, as Mayor Davie does, he must be very careful when turning sharply on to the roadway. Mayor Davie was not careful encugh, and as a result sustained a bad fall. Rarely has any public official made such an impression on and as his Honor made this afternoon. His wheel was badly scratched and the Mayor’s shoulder ~ and arm were considerably bruised, and he will not be able to use thern fully for several dauys. He came back to the City Hall on a cable-car, and Council- man Bassett, who was passing, kindly brought home the wheel. .. HOTEL ARRIVALS. PALACE HOTEL. T F Burydorff.

LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS, Football Pre-~ Changes on the Grounds That Will vent Accidents. THREE SETS OF NEW RULES Dr. Royce Gives the Students Ad- vice About the Practical Study of Philosophy. BERKELEY, CAL., Sept. 19.—Berkeley’s football field has been undergoing a change which Manager Lang and Captain Sher- man believe will be the direct means of preventing many accidents to men which continually occur during the practice sea- son from men falling on the ball and hard tackling. The entire field has been plowed ten inches deep and about 75 bales of straw put into the furrows and covered, so as to make the ground springy, at the same time leaving it hard enough to admit of fast running without too much effort. Though it will be a week or ten days be- fore the field is in first-class condition, yet part of the training every afternoon will be done onit. Light gymnasium work is prescribed for the team each day before going on the field. Special attention has recently been paid to practice with the tackling-bag in the gymnasium, but that is as far as the tackling will go for the present, as no opposition playing has yet been allowed on account of the inexpe- rience of many of the men and their lack of training. Only single line work, punt- ing and falling on_the ball has yet been practiced. No real heavy work will be commenced until after the arrival of Coach Butterworth, according to his in- structions, The team will miss Pierce, Berkeley’s great center, who has served Blue and Gold for a number of years past, but who cannot play this season. Hant, another standby, will also be wished for, but he too will not play this year. Schmidt from the law coliege is a candidate for Pierce’s old place. e will weigh in at about 220 when in training, and is a hard hitter. Wittenmeyer, of last years's 'var- sity, who until recently was expected to again, will not line up this season on account of so much college work. Those of the 'varsity, however, who will train this season are Sherman, Hupp, Ransome, Wilson and Plunkett. About twentv men daily are now prac- ticing, most of whom are freshmen. Among those who were on the field this afternoon were: Sherman, Thompson, Julien, Craig, Haskell, Hopper, Marston, Blasingame, Kennedy, Ransome, Plunkett, Hupp; Rubattom, Stowe, Ely, Carr and Osherg. Captain Sherman said this afternoon that he was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the rules for this season as established by certain’of the Eastern colleges. Three separate and distinct sets have been agreed upon by different colleges of the East, any of which can be legitimately used by any otber two contesting colleges which are members of the Intercollegiate Associa- tion unless by special provision other con- tracts are made. Hence, Berkeley and Stanford may be governed by the rules of last year this season, or they may choose | one of the three sets established by the Eastern large colleges, or even the most satisfactory provisions of the entire three. Preparations are being made to give Coach Butterworth a reception by the student body upon his arrival about the 25th inst. The men will not go into training quar- ters or placed on special diet until after the arrival of the coach. Dr. Royce on the Study of Philosophy. Dr. Josiah Royce has written an article for one of the university journals treating of the value of the study of philosophy in a college course. He says that he has but little interest in what students and teach- ers often mean by the “disciplinary value” of any sort of study. in so for as by this disciplinary value is meant something to be got through the mere pursuit of a iven course of intellectual work, apart rom a living interest in the topics them- selves which are in question. No student has yet justified his interest in philosophy who' gives as the sole reason for the exist- ence of this interest his belief that philo- sophical work involves a great deal of ‘“‘mental discipline.” So does endurin, toothache involve a good deal of possible “moral discipline,” yet most of us can better train our consciences than by morti- fying the flesh through the effort to endure or cultivate toohtaches. ‘‘Philosophy,’” says Dr. Royce, “is a thoroughgoing effort to think out what human life means.” In advisinfi students who are thinking of doing work along the line of philosophy, he says: Can you suspend your intellectual judgment without paralyzing your practical earnestness? If you find that you can do so, then philosophy is yours. But if to think about philosophy, after you have tried the subject for & year or two, in elementary courses, causes your “native hue of resolution” to be ?erslslenlly “sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,” then gather together what fragments ot culture vour clementary courses have given you, and eave the realm of free inquiry to those to whom it belongs. Few academic sights are more melancholy than the sight of the uselessyouth, who desires to get from philosophy an’ appe- tite for 1ife Whh:g he thus far lacks, and who attends for years the courts of truth, failing to recognize that this much-courted monarch gives genuine insight only to those who are first the devoted servants of their chosen life- ideal. Let all such men study anything rather than philosophy. A Test Case. For the past eight months there has been more or less trouble between the County Coroner and the Berkeley Health Officer over the removal of corpses from Berkeley without a properly certified per- mit from the latter. Last week the body of Clarence Laugh, who was drowned in the bay, was taken to the Coroner’s office in Oakland without a permit from Health Officer Rowell, and this morning J. J. Smalley, a representative of the Coroner, was fined $10 by Judge James, having pleaded guiity to the charge. Visited by an Honored Guest. Mrs. Carrie Oostdyk, supreme president of the world of the Women’s American Protective Association, an auxiliary to the American Protective Assocation, made an official visit last evening to Council No. 18 of Berkeley as the guest of Mrs. J. T. Mor- rison, president of the local council. The headquarters of the association is at Detroit, 1ch.,, and the visit of Mrs, Oosld{ix to this coast is for the purpose of organizing a State Council in San Fran- cisco. No Further Use for Altrurianism. J. C. Aiken, one of the first colonists of Altruria, has returned to Berkeley con- vinced that under the present condition of mankind the system as promulgated by Howells is a failure. Aftera careful stuay of the colony and all its workings Mr. Aiken has concluded that if Altrurianism were universally carried out and every man was like every other man there would be no satisfaction in life.

The Edict Has Gone Forth That Their Ears Must Not Be Cropped. Among dog fanciers San Francisco is rated as a good town for dogs. There are many high bred and fancy specimens of the canine type here, and the kennel shows have enlisted widespread interest. Many of the dog fanciers will learn, some with gratified surprise and others with regret, that a royal edict has gone forth against the cropping of ears. At the annual meeting of the English Kennel Club, February 27, 1895, it was made a law that no dog born after March 81, 1895, if cropped, could win a prize in any bench show of Great Britain. A resolution against cropping was intro- duced at the American Kennel Club meet- ing in July, and the question was decided September 12. The rule is now that no dog cropped after June 30, 1895, can be a competitor for any prize offered at a show hela under the American Kennel Club rules. The California association has adopted similar regulations. Barry Coleman of the United Carriage Company of this City says the new rule will bring about a marked change in the appearance of dogs. At first the observers will regard the dogs as ugly and lacking in style, but when people become used to the sight of natural ears the impression of ugliness will pass away. As the cropping is never done until a dog is seven months old the passage of the new rules will put an immediate end to the practice. The officers of the American Kennel Club are President August Belmont, Vice- President Thomas H. Terry and Secretary A. P. Vredenburgh. The active and asso- ciate membership includes every kennel specialty and field trial club in the United States and every prominent dog breeder. In all matters connected with blue-blooded dogs its rulings are infallible. Mr. Coleman regards it as settled that the San Francisco dog fanciers will readily acquiesce in the rules adopted by the American Club. The chief breeds affected by the new rules are bull terriers, black- and-tan terriers, white, English, Irish and Scottish terriers, Yorkshires, the new American breed, fiosmn terriers and Great Danes. - ITALIAN FESTIVAL, To-Day the Colony Will Celebrate Italy’s Plebiscite.

The body of & man floating in the bay was found at the foot of Taylor street early yester- day morning, by James Black, a boatman of the Merchants’ Exchange. Its face had been somewhat disfigared by the crabs and fishes. Decomposition had started. There wasnothing in the brown suit of clothes to determine the man’s identity. The unfortunate wore a sack coat, a pair of brogan shoes, white shirt, turn-down collar and His height was about 5 feet 8 inches, heavy set in stature, and his age was probably 45 years. The lower part of the face was covered with thin whiskers of an iron-gray color, but the upper lip was gone. — —————— FRENCH AS OFFIOE-SEEKERS. There Was a Horde of Place-Hunters Under the Consulate. The makers of a paper constitution can- not foresee every detail in the workings of its provisions, and contrary to the expec- tation of Sieyes at least the form which the new Government took at the outset was largely personal. The consulate and the Ministry were entirely so, their mem- bers being chosen with a keen business in- stinct like that of a great industrial or commercial master, for personal character, integrity, capacity and devotion. ‘‘What revolutionary,” said Napoleon to his brother Joseph, “would not have confi- dence in an order of things where Fouche is Minister? What gentleman would not expect to find existence possible under the former Bishop of Autun? One keeps-my leit, the other my right. Iopen a broad path where all may walk.” 3 3 This was so far true, but such nice dis- crimination could not be exercised in fill- ing the hundreds of minor offices. No land is second to France in the ambition of its people for office-holding, and among the thousands of greedy claimants it was not easy to choose. There were many mis- takes made in the selection, and the disap- pointed formed a large class of embittered malcontents from the very inaugnration of the consular system. There were the Senate, the Legislature, the Council of State, the Tribune, the whole judicial ad- ministration, all to be filled. It was un- derstood that the official emoluments would not be niggardly. When finally fixed, the salary of a Senator was 25,000 francs; that of a Tribune, 15,000 francs; that of a Legislator 10,000. As a measure of relative importance it is interesting to note that the First Consul had 500,000 a year, and each of his colleagues 150,000.— Professor Sloan’s Life of Napoleon in the August Century. e To ascend Mount Blanc costs about $50, as there must by law be two guides and a porter to each person. “I have a dear fittle babe, and am well, Ithank Mrs. Pinkham for this, y and so could other motherless women. 1 was a victim of Fe- male troubles.
