People Flocked to the Scene From All Quarters of Adjacent Counties. GRAND MASONIC CEREMONY. Songs, Recitations and an Eloquent | Oration Augment the Formal Exercises. SANTA CRUZ, CarL., Nov. 3.—The event 3 of thelaying of the cornerstone of the new courthouse made yesterday a gala day of all the year in Santa Cruz. From early morning country folk and those from r-by towns and cities had been flocking into theci by every train, in carriages, on bicycles and in every sort of conveyance in fact that would get them here at the ap- rointed hour. From Watsonville, from Soquel, from Boulder Creek, Felton and rom all country school districts came large delegations of school children, ac- companied by their teachers and princi- pals. And from every corner of this and near-by counties have come the Masons, hundreds of them. They were received here by the local lodge, and at noon when the members of the Grand Bodge arrived everything was lost sight of in the hearty Bartholomew. % E While the Grand Lodge was in session Hastings’ band was stationed in front of the Masonic Temple and played inspiring music. When the procession began to form the sidewalks along the route were crowded to the very edge with a very interested crowd of spectators. It seemed that every resident of the city was out to witness the proceedings. The appearance of the Grand Lodge was the signall for the formation of the proces- sion, which took place at the corner of Pacific and Walnut avenues. E.S. West acted as grand marshal. The procession was headed by Hastings' band. The Naval Reserves, under Lieutenant-Commander Morey, acted as escort to the Grand Lodge. Then followed the local Masonic fraternity and the visiting Masons from Watsonville, Salinas, Los Gatos and other tow Then the Board of Superyisors, Lieutenant- Governor William T. Jeter and Waliace Reynolds Post, Grand Army of the Re- p ublic. One of the finest features of the parade | was the educational representation num- S 5 R. M.

At the Courthouse preparations were | made for the guests. A number of ele- vated seats were erected near the Hall of Records and a temporary flooring to re- | ceive those who actively participated in the ¢ which was conducted by the 1d Lodge of Masons. The cornerston wide and 14 hich was 3 feet long, 2 feet hes deep, was of blue sand- stone and, trimmed and shaped by one of the pract masons, northeast corner of the C in the corner- es long by 4 wide and 234 ed the following names | omstock, architec ;.

Pupi.s and teachers | were present from the High, Laurel, Gault, | Grant, Branciforte and Bay View schools of this city, and supplemented by good sized delegations from Glenwood, Aptos, Soquel, Boulder Creek, Happy Valley, Live Oak, Hazelbrook, Ben Lomond and Valencia. Many of the children carried flags and each district carried a representative ban- ner, many of them being very pretty. Marching to the lower plaza and counter marching to the courthouse the different sections of the procession arranged them- selves about the building as well as the crowded state of Pacific avenue, Cooper and Front streets would permit, As Cooper street, Front street and Pacific avenue in the vicinity of the courthouse were 2 mass of humanity, every wall and otber place where sitting or standing room ceuld be secured was crowded with specta- tors, while the windows facing the streets were filled and many were on the top of the buiidings in that vicinity. A bugle- call was the signal for the raising and saluting of the flag, a ceremony which was impressively performed by thé children of the schools, which followed it with the singing in chorus of the “Star Spangied Banner.” The grand chaplain, Dr. Bar- tholomew,'a venerable man of this sity, offered prayer. “America” was sung by the school children and was taken up by the vast concourse of people present. Then the introduction of J. A. Lin- scott, chairman of the Board of Super- visors, who in formal terms requested grand master Mason to take in charge the aying of the cornerstoneof the courthouse in Santa Cruz County Grand Master Edward M. Preston ac- cepted the duty on behalf of the Grand Lodge, and the impressive ceremony, ac- cording to the Masonic ritnal, was carried out. Grand Secretary George Johnson read the list of articles to be deposited in the cornerstone, and Acting G urer W. H. Bias deposited the box. . While the copper casket was being sealed in the receptacle prepared for it, selected mefl) recited the following original verses y Miss Geraldine Meyrick: Boys— Let m w anhood’s wisdom for a time give place, e we. the citizens of futu-e years, hopeful hearts that mock at craven fears, future strength and grace.

Vow that we will, when unto manhood grown, our-square ro Justice found and con To guard our county’s true integrity, That 50 her beauty may be honor-crowned. and Treas- | accuracies. 5 | Then Grand Master Preston cemented it | with the silver trowel. The corn, wine and | oil, which were in gold and silver urns, | were poured on the stone; the corn, sym- | bolical of nourishment, by the deputy | grand master; the wine, of refreshment, | by the senior grand warden; the oil, of joy, by the junior grand warden. - | * After the final charge to the architect | given by the grand master, and while the | grand ‘officers were returning to their | places, a male quartet, consisting of E. B. | Pix! Leland Collins, J. Jonnston and J. | P. Twist, sang a Masonic hymn set to the | old tune'of “Meribah.” . | _Thelarge audience then listened to an | eloquent oration delivered by Acting Grand Orator Harry V. Morehouse. Mr. Morehouse spoke in substance as iollows: Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: In all the ages of the past man has builded temples. Some have been the outgrowth of religious inspiration. Some ve sprung from the kindly feelings of the living in memory of the | derd.” Some "have found expression for the amusement of the people. Some have been builded to accommodate the commerce of | nations and some have been of the necessity to | transact the political, social or legal rela- tions of the people. In all these structures the genius of man for architectural design and Lleauty and usefulness has grown as the in- telligence of the people has grown and as the | population of the country increased and the | public wealth expanded.” Back to the days when God Almighty spoke to the people in the theocracy of the Jews Solomon reared the temple, and Hiram, King of Tyre and Hiram Abiff, planned, through the inspiration of the Most High, the matchless building of Jewish worship, which in after years, under the rophetic utterance of Christ, feil and crum- | bled into dust, as Tyre and’ Sydon, Babylon and Troy. Here Masonty, not’ the symbolic, | intellectual, mythical and theosophic Masonry | irth. All down the glistening pathway of human | nistory, as men have grown and evolyed into higher and higher menhood, there Masonry has been the guiding light under the hand of | free the human mind, and let the flood of in- | tellectual ireedom opén the gates of continual | progress. It is right that you should ask the | Masoniclodge tolay the cornerstone of your new courthouse. |, Anew courthouse! Hark the meaning! A temple dedicated to_Justice; & temple reared herein your beautiful city, where the rights | of your people may be adjusted according to | the forms of law. A building where the rich | and poor are supposed to be equal, but unfor- | tunately are not, owing to the weakness of hu- | man nature and the ignorance of those who | administer the law. No system of judicial | procedure ever invented by man has yet been able to keep cupidity and ignoranee off the bench, or_dishonesty from the bar, or bribe masses. ‘But our system is nerly perfect. It lncks, it is true, many things. But the | day dawné end the reform will come, because | the infiuence of the puplic schools is gradually | inerensing the general mass of intelligence, until some day the mistakes of the past will find the means of correction and Judges will | be appointed because of learning and ability and jurors will be men of education and | power, and intelligence will be the necessary | qualification of the voter, and both men and women will vote. So then, while we lay the cornerstone of this courthouse; while we deposit beneath its | walls the day and date and other data, let us remember that this building shall be the forum where free speech shall be heard—the | place beyond the power of any religious creed | 1o enter, or wealth to corrupt or politics to con- trol. Let it ever be the center from which shall radiate an infinence as deep and broud as humanity and as helpful as charity and us kind as love. Let the law, as administered from this building when erected, be broad enough to protect the weak and strong enough to punish the guilty. Let justice, and justice only, be done, and then the documents hidden | away amid the foundations of this building shall, if ever a future age shall disinter them, ve themselves 8 mogument to the honesty and integrity, virtue and good citizenship of the people of this county and be blessed with the | smile of God. With the singing of “Old Hundred,” followed by the benediction, the exercises closed, | After the exercises of laying the cornex- | stone, the Grand Lodge presented Grand the | Master Preston with the silver trowel, ap- | propriately engraved, used on the occasion. The presentation speech was made by Grand Marshal E. 8.

On the night of April 14, 1895, a most disastrous fire visited this city und burned a large portion of the finest business blocks. The county courthouse was destroyed, leaving standing only the four brick walls. That, building was erected in 1867 at a cost of $18,195. After the fire temporary quar- ters were secured, and within fifteen days the pians for u new building were sub- mitted to the Board of Supervisors by N, A. Comstock of San rancisco and adopted. The contract price of the new building was $53,475. Immediately after awarding the contract to R.M. McCabe the work was begun. The builaing has a frontage of 105 feet on Cooper street and 68 feet on Pacific avenue. The architecture is of the Romanesque style, and beautiful in de- sign. The first story is of the rough blue sandstone and the remainder of the build- ing is of pressed brick, with terra cotta trimmings. Therooi is to beof California slate.

ENGLISH CLAIM TRIVIAL | Mainly Based Upon a Contest Between Holland and Spain. CONCESSION MADE FOR PEACE. | Unlawful Annexation of Territory by | a Handful of Britain's Traders. The vast tract of country lying on the' | northeastern sheulder of the Soutii Amer- | | ican continent between the Orinoco River | | on the north and west and the Amazon on | | the south, was known on the earlier maps | | | | | near the upper end of the broad estuary ceded to Great Britain three colonies in Guayana of Essequibo, Demerara and Ber- bice, these colonies consisted of three Fronps of plantations lying along the lower part of the three rivers of the same names. New Amsterdam on the right bank of the Berbice River, near its moutb, was the trading post of Berbice. Georgetown, on the right bank of the Demerara River, near its mouth, was the trading-post of Demerara and Barlika. On the right bank of the Essequibo River, into which it flows, was the trading-post of the wastern colony. The three colonies were consolidated into one in 1831, and the divisions were thereafter known as coun- ties by their former names, forming the one province of British Guiana. The eastern boundary of this province has never been in question, the Coryntin River still remaining as at the first the dividing line between the British and the Dutch, but on the south and the west there has been a gradual but systematic extension of British claims, until now she is asserting her right to three times as much territory as she acquired in 1814 from Holland, and the older the claim gets the larger it gets, as a brief account of it will show. A healthy claim to any small part of a promising region grows to large pro- portions on British nursing. and one of the plainest recipes is to let it sleep until her opponent can be taken unawares orata | disadvantage. This is the plain story of the Venezuelan question. Compared with the substantial and well-authenticated title to the disputed | territory shown by Venezula, the grounds | set forth to substantiate the claims of Great Britain and to justify a land steal of 60,000 square miles are worse than trivial. They are as follows: That in 1657 the Dutch set up two tem- wondrous tales of the richness and re- sources of that region, and its natural fa- cilities for communication between the sea- ports and the rich upland regions attracted the attention of the British Government, and with an _eye to the future that they | have always kept wide open, they commis- | sioned Schomburg in 1840 to “‘survey and | mark out the boundaries of British Guay “ ana.” He proceeded to fulfill his commis- | sion, and in the course of the next three or | four years marked out wiat became known | as the “Schomburg lin A remarkable line it was, too, 1n many resvects. Schomburg was not hampered by the | presence of any representatives of the | Venezuelan Government when he marked | that line, for they were notouly notin- | vited to share the trouble and expense of the surveys and the satisfaction of settling a long-disputed question, but they were not even notified officially that it was to be made, | The course of the line itself indicates | that modesty exercised very little sway in | his mind when he indicated to future ques- | tioners just where British claims ended | and others might begin. He began that | line as far to the west and near to the southern mouth of the Orinoco as even in his isoiated sense of decency he dared, and run it in a general wobbly southern direc- | tion till he sichted Mount_ Roraima, the highest peak in that region. This line | showed the extreme limit of British cheek | and greed in 1844, as marked out and re- corded by Sir! R. Schomburg. It added | nearly 40,000 fquare miles to the territory | of British Guiana, as shown by a map of his own drawing in 1836. | The grab was so patent and so barefuced | that the British Governmentdlusted when | Europe and the United States looked in- | %uirxngly at tfie Schomburg line and said | that they did not propose to insist on this | line as a boundary but only to use it for | porary stations on the Pomeroon River, reference in future negotiations. | | | | MAP OF VENEZUELAN | SURVEYED IN EZUELA. 1841-44, AND GUIANA COASTS, SHOWING PART OF AND ROJA’S LINE, PROPOSED “SCHOMBURG’S LINE,” AS A COMPROMISE BY VEN | of Bouth America only as a part of the | Terra Firma of Columbus. Later it was known and marked as Guiana. According to Humboldt the name was taken from the principal one of the three tribes of Indians inhabiting this region, | the Guayanas, Caribs: and Guayacas, tue | former of whom early in the sixteenth | century gave their name to the whole of that vast region. To this region contain- ing some 600,000 square miles, or nearly as much territory as Germany, Fravce and Spain together, the Spanish and Portu- | guese were the original, and until quite | recent times the only, claimsnts de jure. | The Spaniards claimed all the territory drained by the Orinoco by right of dis- | | covery, and the Portuguese all that drained | | by the Amazon and its tributaries on the same ground. These two claims com- | prised about seven-ei:hths of the whole of | the Guayanas and were known as Portu- | guese or Brazilian Guayana and Spanish | | or Venezuelan Guayana, Between the Orinoco and the Amazon is another minor water shed of some 200,000 | square miles in extent bounded on the south and southwest by the Pacaraima | | and Pacarauna mountains. This region is | | drained by a number of rivers running in | 8 northerly direction to tbe Atlantic, of | whick the Essequibo on the west, the Dem- | erara, the Coryntin, the Surinam, the Mar- | ouiand the Ayapok are the largest. In 1580 the Dutch, following their spirit of colonization so strong at thatlime, planted trading posts on this coast to the | | east of the Essequibo River and one west | at the mouta of the Pomaroon River. | Spain resisted this latter attempt to colo- | nize in her territory, and later on in 1613 | the Dutch retired to the Essequibo and es- tablished themselves at Kyk-over-all, an island near the junction of the Cuzuniand Massaruni Rivers, just above their junc- tion with the Essequibo. The several colonies of Berbice, Demer- ara, Coryntin and Surinam—each on | rivers of the same name—followed after, |and in time the region so occupied | | began to be known as Dutch Guiana. That Spain, as the original discoverer and first occupant, always considered this possession but as an occupation in fact and maintained her boundaries be- yond the Essequibo documents of uncon- trovertible authority will readily prove. In 1761 the Governor of Cumana sent to Spain a map of that province, which was | properly approved, and in which it was { saip that the ‘“‘province of Guiana was bounded on the east by all the coast, in which are found situated the Dutch colo- nies of Bssequibo, Berbice, Demerara, Coryntin and Suripam.” From this itis clear that Spain considered these colonles as established on territory belonging to her, for in tracing the southern boundary on the same map the language used is, “‘by | the south the domain of the very faithful King of Brazil.”” With such boundaries the province of Guiana was erected by royal decree June 4,1762, under command of Joaquin de Mendoza. Other decrees and documents on file in the archives of Spain and Vene- zuela in the years following are to the same effect, and the whole proof shows that the Dutch were not in Guiana by right, butonly by sufferance. The treat; of Munster between Spain and Holland, n . and that of Aranguez in 1791, recognize and confirm the _Esse- gm'bu as the western limit of Dutch uiana, and up to the middle part of the present century was so marked by all chartographers—English as well aa others. By ‘the Spanish-Portuguese treaty of 1750 these same boundaries were specified and confirmed, All the correspondence between the Spanish colonial Govern- ment and the Dutch authorities east of the E'sseqmbp recognized this boundary. The British diplomatic agent at Caracas formally acknowledged Venezuelan juris- diction or domain on the coast east of the Orinoco. A British law court at Demerara acknowledged the jurisdiction of Vene- zuela on the Moroco, and as late as 1574 the British authorities of Yuiana made a similar acknowledgment. _That the Essequibo was the western limit of Dutch &uinns was nevsr called into question until after 1814. Hen, by the treaty of London, Holland | of the Moroco River, which was thereby showing claim in that vicinity; that in 1674 certain concessions were made 10 a Dutch company in that vicinity; that | in 1797 there was a conflict between the | Dutch and the Spanish on the Pomeroon | River, and that the latter were defeated | and driven away; that by treaty with cer- | tain Indian tribes (names and dates not | given) Great Britain agreed to protect said | Indians against encroachments by whites. On these grounds a claim thatin 1814 was | stopped at the Essequibo River grew by | 1840 to the Pomaroon River. It 1840 the | claims of Great Britain were officially an- | nounced or indicated as being limited by | the Pomeroon River on the west. | Later in the same year, however, she claimed all the Atlantic Coast to the mouth of the Orincco, and in 1841 set up a notice at the mouth of the Barima River asserting her jurisdiction over that stream | and warning off trespassers. In 1844 she | receded frowm this position back to the | Moroco River. In 1886 she shifted west again to the | Guiana River. In 1890 she advanced toa | point at the junction of the Amacura and | Orinoco rivers, and which would give the practical control of the mouth of the latter river. | All tne title England can possibly have | comes from the Dutch cession in 1514, Venezuela fell heir to the title vested in Spain as the origmal discoverer when she threw off the Spanish yoke 1n 1810. For a number of years after she became inde- vendent she was too busily engagea with other matters to pay much attention to the encroachments of a few British trad- ers on her ternitory and much too weak to do.anything more than strongly protest against the same. This she did vigorously 1n 1827 and has steadily insisted on_a set- tlement of the question ever since. Though conscious of her own rights in the prem- ises, for the sake of a settlement of the dis- ute she has conceded much to Great | ritain and offered to accept as a bound- ary a line run due south from the moult]h the western limit of British claims up to 1844. This line is known as Roja’s line. England refused to answer this or any other proposition, except to assert some new right or advance some new_ proposi- tion, and in 1887 diplomatic relations were | broken off by Venezuela. England’s policy in the whole matter has been in keeping with that pursued by her in other cases—admit nothing; claim all in sight; get all she can, and keep all she gets. In this case she has deliberately, by unlawful occupancy of disputed territory pending settlement of boundary question, laid her plaps to rob a weak South American re- public of a rich territory greater in extent than her own populous and powerful island. % The history of the Schomburg line, the only actuai survey ever made in this con- nection, reveals the true inwardness of the course pursued by Great Britain and the method she has followed to consummate this robbery. _ In 1834 the Royal Geographical Societ of Great Britain commissioned R. 1-1y Bchomburfi to take up the route dropped by Humboldt at Esmeralda on the upper Orinoco, and journey to the head waters of the Essequibo, and thence down to the sea. This expedition, with several others of like nature, which he undertook in the Guay- anas, under the auspices of that society, he | made. Accounts of his journeys, with sketoh maps, were regularly sent to the so- ciety (one of these maps, made in 1836, is especially interesting in connection with the line run by himself later). On one of these journeys, in 1837-38, Schomburg wrote: ‘““May the moment soon arrive when the boundaries of the rich and pro- ductive colony of British Guayana shall be decided by a government survey.”” His prayer was soon to be granted. The ————————————————— | t | | each new | Venezuela protested and refusea to rec- | ognize this line in any way, but while in- | sisting upon the ancient bouadary be- tween Spanish Guiana and Dutch Guiana, the Essequibo River, she indicated her willingness for the sake of peace and a settlement to agree to a line drawn due outh from the mouth of the Morocco River (Roja’s line), some thirty miles of the Essequibo (referred to before). In 1850 a diplomatic agreement was entered into by which each party was obli- | gated not to occupy any part of the disputed territory—that is the region between the Essequibo River and the Schomburg line— until the boundary question was definitely settled. Settlement has been defayed upon one pretext and another ever simce. Britisn planters and traders have pushed farther and farther into Venezuelan Guayana and British map since 1850 adds something to what was claimed by the | previous issues, till now, when wars and | rumors of wars are distracting the atten- | tion of the world from Venezuela, Great | Britain thinks she is in a position to con- summate the long projected robbery. Is she to be allowed to do it? Is the Government of the United States to sit quietly by and see it done? The amount at the credit of derositors in the English Postoffice Savings Banks at | the end of last year was £839,259.9 A MILLSTONE ON HIS NECK. How He Got Rid of It. Mr. 8.’s occupation was such that he felt the occasional need of a stimulant. He never intended to take more than one drink—but he generally did. On rare oc- casions he actually got full. .Though it neverseriously interfered with his business, he felz that it was reducing his health and success. He made frequent resolutions and broke them. He was slowly going down hill. . Then he found Peruvian Bitters—and he is now rapidly going up. Peruvian Bitters are composed of the world famous Peruvian Bark and othet medicinal herbs of great value blended in fine old California brandy. The invigorat- ing and tonic effect of the Peruvian bark Co-operates with the stimulating effect of the brandy, but neutralizes its tendency to produce an appetite for more. Peruvian Bitters satisfy the desire of a stimulant— quench the fire instead of adding fuel. After taking this palatable and highly in- vigorating drink for a while the desire for alcoholic stimulants is gone; the appetite and digestion are in normal condition; the system is toned up and every function at | its best. You continue to take Peruvian Bitters, not from habit but because you feel it does you continuvus good, fortities you against colds, malaria and disease germs of every description and makes you as far as possible a perfect physical being.
