Krauth Sr, the veteran editor and founder of the Encinal, the oldest paper in Alameda County, died this morn- ing at his home on Park street. He had been ill for some time, having had an attack of fever complicated with heart failure. His wife, to whom he had been married for fifty-three years, died on the 8th inst. and was buried a week ago to-day. The loss of his helpmeet was a great blow, and he de- clined rapidly until this morning, when he passed peacefully ‘away. Mr. Krauth was a native of Hagerstown, Md., where he was born in 1824, and was T4 years of age at the time of his death. He acquired his education and learned the printer’s trade In Frederick, Mad., and after attaining his majority went to New York City, where he was employed for several years. In 1845 he married, and in 1849, when the gold fever broke out, he came to California, being followed a year later by his wife and children. At first he engaged in mining at Mormon Bar on the American River, but soon gave that up and went to work on the Placerville Democrat. After this he was engaged on different papers, 'including the Sacramento Union and others. In company with Thomas McElroy he con- ducted the Santa Cruz Sentinel for a time. Subsequently he returned to San Francisco and In 1869 came to Alameda and established the Encinal,, which he conducted successfully until two years ago, when failing health com- pelled him to retire. The deceased was an Odd Fellow and had been honored with high office in that order. He was also a member. of the Veteran Odd Fellows' Associa- tion and of the Soclety of California Pioneers. He leaves four children— three sons and a daughter. One of his sons, F. K. Krauth Jr, is chief engi- neer of the Alameda Fire Department. The funeral will take place at Odd Fellows' Hall at 1 p. m. on Satur- day, and the interment will take place In Mountain View Cemetery. Mr. Krauth had a wide circle of friends throughout the entire State, and no newspaper man stood higher with his fellows. He was a tireless and in- defatigable worker for the advancement of the community, and every public improvement found in him a warm supporter.

Philosophy of History. - BERKELEY, Feb. 17.—Dr. K. C. Babcock this afternoon delivered the third of a series of lectures on “The Philosophy of American History.” “The United States,” he declared, “in its com- paratively brief career, has added much | to civilization. It has helped to dem- onstrate that progress is hastened by avolding war, having been a party to nearly fifty arbitrations—half the total number during that time between the nations of the world.” Berkeley News Notes. BERKELEY, Feb. 17.—The Califor- nian-Occident baseball game will take place on the campus to-morrow morn- ing at 11:15.

H. ‘Wilbur, a Prosperous Marvysville Farmer. Temporarily Insane He Cuts His Own Throat From Ear to Esar. A. H. Wilbur of Marysville, a pros- perous farmer, who has for several months past occupied rooms at 630 Sutter street, where he had located for the purpose of receiving medical atten- tion, committed suicide yesterday morn- ing by cutting his throat with a pocket The deceased had long been a suf- ferer from melancholia, and it was in the hope of securing release from this malady that he left his country home, | about three months ago, and came to | this city for treatment. Hg was under | the professional charge of Dr. Cluness of 436 Sutter street, who also supplied | him with a nurse in a Miss Brown, who | kept a careful watch over the patient. As was customary, Miss Brown took Mr. Wilbur his breakfast yesterday morning at about 8 o'clock. He par- took of the meal with apparent relish, and the nurse cleared away the break- fast dishes and left the room for a while. Returning about 9 o’clock to | the patient’s apartment she was hor- | ror-stricken to find him lying on the | bed dead, with his throat cut from ear | to ear. | The deceased was a married man, | and he leaves a widow at Marysville. | He Is reported possessed of consider- | able wealth in property in that cityand | elsewhere. . GENERAL PANIC BREWING. Hasty Resign;gonsr Forwarded to General Dickinson, the New Commander. When Gen. John H. Dickinson .returns | to the city from a tour of inspection of the public institutions throughout the State, he will find that since his appoint- ment as Major General of the National Guard a general panic seems to have tak- en possession of his subordinate officers. The several members of the staff of his predecessor, General James, have ten- dered their resignations to the new com- mander, but it Is universally believed that few will be accepted. It Is a certain- ty that Cluff, Gallwey, Barren, Stanley, Miles, Edwards and Fitzgerald will re- tain their present positions. General James expresses entire satis- faction at the appointment of Dickinson, having solicited it in his favor. The desire of James to dispose of the duties which his position as commander involved was caused by the necessity of the devotion of his entire time to business affairs, which consequently prevented him from giving the required attention to the militia. It is generally believed that Dickinson will institute w{oleslfle hostilities against the members of the guard who took such a decided stand ufillflsl him during the July of 189, when he was in command of the Second Brigade at Sacramento. fear of this it is expected that he will re- celve many more hastily written resigna- tlons upon his return to the city., Among the prominent officers marked for decapitation the name of Colonel Hen- shaw stands pre-eminent. ——————————— THE BOARD NOT CONCERNED. Superintendent Webster Says That the Annuity Fund Commission Is a Private Matter. Superintendent of Schools Webster stated yesterday that the. Board of Education was in no wise concerned in the coupon scheme Which Tillmann & Bendel have arranged with the Teach- ers’ Annuity and Retirement Funa As- sociation. This organization he de- clared to be a private concern arranged for the teachers themselves. He stated: that thus far Treasurer ‘Widbur, who is also treasurer of the Retirement Fund Commission, had spoken to him of three payments made by the grocery firm. The first was recorded on October 9, 1897, and amounted to $165 34. The ‘others were November 10, $118 90, and December 13, $127 50. Superintendent Webster says that in publishing an interview with him Till- mann & Bendel failed to state all that was said and eliminated certain essen- tial portions of his views on the sub- ject of teachers taking a hand in such an enterprise. He stated, however, that a poll of the teachers belonging to the Retirement and Annuity Fund Associ- ation had shown that the majority were in favor of the scheme. —_—————— ‘Will Sing Sacred Music.

REQUIEM FOR BROTHER CTANAN Funeral of the Man Who Has Founded Many Schools. His Body Is Followed to the Tomb by His Former Pupils. Started the Scholastic Work at St. Mary's and at Sacred Heart. OAKLAND, Feb. 17.The funeral of Brother Clanan was held at St. Mary’s College this morning. The col- lege students and alumni attended in large numbers, and many priests from the city and surrounding towns were among the mourners. A solemn requiem mass was said at 9 o’clock, the celebrant being Rev. L. Serda of Sacred Heart Church, this city, deacon; Rev. J. J. Cranwell, chap- lain of the college, sub-deacon; Rev. J. A. Cull, 8t. Francis de Sales, and Master of Ceremonies Rev. J. F. Byrne, St. Brigid’s Church, San Francisco. The clergymen in attendance were Revs. M. King, W. Gleeson, J. B. Mc- Nally, E. J. Nolan of Oakland, Very Revs. W. Newhall, O. P.; J. Johns, O. P.; Mahar, O. P.; O'Rourke, O. P.; Revs. M. D. Connelly, W. Kirby, P. D. Brady, M. Kenneally, P. Heslin, P. Scanlon, J. Prelotto, S..J.; J. Finnigan, S. J., of San Francisco; P. Foley, of Alameda; J. Phillips, Berkeley; M. Scanlan, Dixon, and H. Lagan and J. Phelan, of San Rafael. The “Gregorlan Requiem” was sung at mass by sixteen of the students un- der the direction of Professor Schorcht. The soloists were W. P. Sullivan, J. I. O'Dea and G. E. Hay- ward. Father J. J. Cranwell of the college pronounced the eulogy. The College Cadets, three companies, numbering forty members each, led the procession to the cemetery. The com- pany commanders were: A, Captain F. M. Silva; B, Captain J. Macky; C, Cap- tain O. Welch. The pall-bearers were: Brother Erminold of San Francisco, Brother Genebern and Brother S8aban- ian of Oakland, Brother Michael of San Rafael, Brother Ambrose, of Sacramen- to and Brother Willlam of Oakland. WITH THE ACTORS AND THE MUSICIANS. Two Soloists at the Loring Concert. Miss Giusti’s Debut With the Bostonians. Everybody who had tickets for the Loring Club's concert Wednesday even- ing must have attended, for the audience outnumbered the seats by several hun- dred. The special events were the debuts of Llewelyn A. Hughes and Mrs. Florence Scarborough. Mr. Hughes is a young vio- linist of brillant promise. He brings a strong sonorous tone from his instrument, his execution is honest, and he has an abundance of temperament and good taste. He made his debut befote a San Francisco audience in Leonard's *‘Sou- venirs de Bade,” a showy little concert plece of no particularly depth, but one that calls for a variety of technique. For an encore he played a reverie by Dancla with clean intonation and just the right shade of sympathy. There are so many spurious contraltos that it is always a pleasure to listen to a voice that has the 1 quality. Undeniably Mrs. Scarbor- ou range and extreme power. Mrs. Scar- borough sang the cavatina from the all but forgotten version of ‘“Romeo and Jullet,” written by Bellini under title of “I Capuletti ed i Montecchl.” It is a piece that demands unusual range and flexibility, and the singer's interpretation warranted an enthusiastic encore, to which she responded with a ballad, “Sigh No More."” rs. Scarborough should ge a welcome addition to local concert and choir circles. The Loring Club seems to be enjoying new life under the magnetic baton of Mr. D. P. Hughes. The con- certed numbers went splendidly Wednes- day night. An especial iem was the scene thjof’'s Saga. The attendance at the Columbia is pick- ing up. “What Happened to Jones” de- serves to prosper.

Miss Eleanor Glusti, a San Francisco girl, who left here some months ago to join the Bostonians, appeared with that organization last nlqht n_Alice Nielsen's part of Yvonne in “The Serenade” and made a very favorable impression. Her voice is fresh and supple and she came through the difficult passages at the close of the waltz song with pretty grace. In the bolero, too, she was very much to the good. Miss Giusti's acting is a bit un- gainly as yet, but she has the Personnllty and the volce for success in lfiht opera.

The time it took her to wrap 100 cakes of soap at the Mining Fair last even- ing was five minutes thirty-five sec- onds, beating the former record by thirty seconds. The winner was award- ed a very pretty gold ring set with sapphires and diamonds. The next in line for the championship was Ida Faircough, who finished in six minutes fourteen seconds. Third was a tie be- tween Gussie Schilling and Lena Oh- lendorf, and fourth went to Dollie Burns. Liza Gettigan and Alice Asper came in last. Each participant received a pretty prize.

Perjury to Be an Offense Against the Law Must Be “Willfully” Given. Carl W. von Tiedeman, through the decision of the Supreme Court as hand- ed down yesterday by Justice Garoutte and concurred in by Justices Harrison and Van Fleet, has another chance to escape the State prison. The crime for which Von Tiedeman was convicted in Department 2 of the Superfor Court in this city was for perjury growing out of the fraudulent conveyance of a piece of real estate supposed to be transferred from Mrs. Harriett P. Christy to Horace G. Platt. During the trial for-the illegal record- ing and the reception of the considera- tion therein mentioned Von Tiedeman, when shown the photograph of a wo- man who-was known to be Mrs. Sarah R. Owen, swore positively that she was the woman who represented herself to This portion of his testimony was found to be false, and as a consequence he was indicted on the charge of perjury. For this crime he was convicted and sentenced to State prison. The usual appeal followed, with the result that the Supreme Court saw fit to reverse the verdict on the ground that it was not shown at the trial that the perjury was “willfully” given. The Justices of the higher court in arriving at their de- cision in this case cited numerous au- thorities in support of their views on what constitutes perjury within the meaning of the law to make i1t a pris- onable offense, and after all reasonable deduction have come to the conclusion that perjury to be an offense under the law must be “williful.” Hence Von Tiedeman escapes going to the State prison. “GOLD COIN” ELIMINATED. The Charter Makers Labor Long and Assiduously Over the Framing % of a New Section. The owning by the city of all public utilities and the manner of acquiring the same have occupied the attention of the Freeholders for the past two sesslons. Section 2, where the law com- mittee had inserted the words ‘“‘gold coln,” was the one which provoked the longest discussion, and, in fact, brought out more oratorical eloquence than all other sections put together. The objectionable word ‘gold” aroused the ire of Freeholders Mec- Carthy and Cridge to such an extent that they fought over every inch of available ground to have it stricken | out. In this they were assisted at last | night ession by Mr. O’Connor, while | Clément and Sachs were equally as | tenacious in having the *‘gold coin” re- main. Thus the contention was pro- forward wit an amendment which all accepted, . and the section was eventually passed with his amendment. As amended the debated portion reads: “Section 2. The municipal bonds is- sued under the provisions of this chap- ter shall be of the character of bonds known as serials, and shall be payable in lawful money of the United States, and the Supervisors shall decide at the issue of the bonds in what lawful money of the United States said bonds shall be payable.” ———————— Medical College Lecture.
