Her Britannic Majesty's Conspl General, William Clayton Pickersgill, presided, and William Doxey acted as toastmaster. After the menu had been disposed of the Consul General proposed the toast of the evening, “The Queen.” He alluded to tae jubilee processions and festivities in London, and remarked how, in_the midst of all the splendor and mag- nificence, the most impressive figure was that of an old lady, simply attired, that attracted all eyes and won all hearts. He | commented on her long and glorious | reign, and expressed the fervent hope | that the gracious lady’s life may long ge[ spared. ‘God Save the Queen” was then sung by the whole party, accompanied by the ch ish toward our orchestra.

Mr. Burr wrote from Calmalli, eighty miles northeast of the Cerro Pinto placers, as follows: There are placers about a hundred miles south of here which will boom in- side of eighteen months. The miners are working dry washers. They come to the store and pile up pounds of gold right before my eyes and the outside world has not known anything about this. This has been going on for years and they have hardly begun on the placers, they are so extensive. Half-ounce and ounce nuggets are not uncommon, and I am in- formed that but a short time ago a man took out one of five pounds. In another letter, dated March 24, 1898, Mr. Burr wrote to Gordon & Good- win that the placers, which he had prospected to some extent since his pre- vious letter, would run from 50 cents to $200 to the yard. For some reason Gordon & Goodwin were not interested in the placers. Mr. Burr was on a mis- sion connected with copper mines and the news of the find was never made public, or, if it was, no excitement and rush followed, as promises to be the case NOw RATES FOR EDUCATORS.

Jones, the attorney handling the proper- ty of the late N. C. Creede, has returned from a trip Bast. He visited Denver to clear certain business detalls left by Creede in that city in a rather chaotic condition. Major Jones sought out the First National Bank of that city, where he presented Creede’s bankbooks to have the account-of the dead miner straight- ened. No one believed Creede had a penny left in the Denver bank, no record | of any deposit in that institution having checking up Creede's deposit he w. found to have a balance in the bank of $19,003 0. Major Jones recelved word from Denver yesterday that the money | had been Creede estate. If Major Jonex can bring It about, little Dorothy Creede will come in for another turned over to the | windfail in the form of stock in the cele- brated Amethyst mine, at Creede, Col., valued ‘at SLIDOO. This = property i3 claimed as Creede's share, and unless the claim is allowed suit will be brought to recover it. Major Jones said to-day that unles owners of the mine—D. H. Moffat, . Cheeseman, L. Campbell " and E Smith, all ‘of Drenver—made .a_satl tory compromise, the case would be en into the courts. The necessary documents are now being drawn. It i Major Jones' opinion that the case prob- ably will be settled out of court. Dorothy Creede, who the dead miner a short -time before died, is now with her mother, Mrs. B ford, at San Francisco.

NEW YORK, May 24.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: 1 was told to-day that .aptain Coghlan desired to go to the Mare Island navy yard. A vacancy did exist at that point, filled by the orders issued to-day to Captain W. W. Mead, recently retired from command of the cruiser gronklyn. but it is explained that both the Secre- tary and Admiral Crowninshield believed that Captain Coghlan would prefer an independent command, such as he will have at Puget Sound, rather than a su- bordinate position which he would have secured had he been sent to Mare Island. Should Captain Coghlan make any ob- jections to his assignment the depart- ment will willingly transfer him to some other point. Because of the large drydock at Puget Sound, the only dock on the Sound which can accommodate battleships, the Puget Sound station is one of import- ance—must more so than that of Port Royal, to which Rear Admiral Sumner, Captain Coghlan’s senior, has been as- signed. A S To Revive District Fairs. STOCKTON, May 24.—An effort is be- ing made to obtain a local board of di- rectors for the San Joaquin Agricultural Association which will disentangle the financial difficulties of the district and de- vise means for resuming the fairs which for many years drew throngs of people to Stockton. Acting upon the request of the Governor the Democratic and Republican county committees have submitted the names of a number of energetic young business men and it is expected appoint- ments will be made soon. The Republi- can committee submits five names—two more than the Democratic. The board is at ere!ent very Democratic in complexion and it is the desire of the political friends of the Governor to see him give both par- tles equal representation. The old asso- clation owes about $18,000, but holds $45,- 000 worth of property. There is a plan to turn over the property to the city or county in consideration of the payment of thé outstanding indebtedness, the fair thereafter to be at least nominally under the control of City Council or Board of Supervisqrs. It is believed that when the new board is appointed some plan will be devised to improve the property and re- sume the fairs and race meets.

PASADENA, May 21.—A remarkable career exceeding in length that of Queen Victoria by thirty years was closed at San Gabriel Mission to-day by the burial of Senora Francesca de Luga. Born of wealthy parents, she died on Monday last in a hut at Linda Vista, a suburb of wealthy Pasadena. The date of her birth is contained in the archives of the San Juan Capistrano Mission and is October 23, 1789. She was born a direct subject of Charles IV of Spain, long before Mexico became a republic, and lived to see the last vestige of Spanish rule disappear from her native land. Dr. Reid in his history of Pasadena says that at the time the Two Days battle was fought, beginning January 9, 1847, she ucted as supply agent and com- missary for the Mexican troops, galloping about on horseback gathering supplies, although she was then 53 vears old. Senora Lugo had been bedridden for the last ten years, but retained her clearness of mind up to the last moment, giving arting advice to her seven grandchil- gren at the very last. 1898—Bank of Waive December 27, Cator $840. gh Sl S ASKS FOR A REHEARING.

LOS ANGELES, May 24.—The city of Los Angeles, through the city attorney, has filed an application before the Su- preme Court for a rehearing of the re- ceivership case in the litigation between the city and the Los Angeles City Water Company. The Supreme Court has de- cided that the receivership under which the water company was prevented col- lecting water rents and expending money for maintenance and improvements was invalid. In the city’s petition it is as- sumed that that part of the decision of the Supreme Court which is to the ef- fect that Los Angeles city is not a ripa- {h:n groprletar is unnecessary and unsus- ained. The Mayor signed to-day the ordinance recently passed by the City Council which accepts the award made by the board of arblitrators selected to settle the amount to be pald by the city for the water com- pany’s plant. —_— Tonti to Be Secretary.

A speclal prize was offered for a six- round contest between E. Johnson, the champion middle-welght boxer of the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland, Or., and J. McDonald, middle-weight cham- | pion of the Olympic Clul George Green and *“Bob” McArthur sec- onded Johnson and J. F. McCarthy and | De Witt Van Court looked after the in-| terests of McDonald. In the first round | McDonald used foul tactics by holding his | opponent’s hand and then landing on | Johnson's neck with the right. He was | cautioned by Referee Smith, but repeated | the offense several times during the | round. Johnson stopped cleverly several leads for the stomach, but failed to | guard swings aimed at his head. Mc- | Donald had the best of the second round, | landing quite frequently on Johnson's neck, but he could not resist engaging in | foul play, much to the disgust of the| Oregonian, who appealed to the referee. | Johnson, who is a six-footer, had evi- dently been sparring with some one who | as his equal in height, and McDonald, a stocky built fellow, assumed a | crouching position and easily ducked | Johnson's blows, which went sailing over | his head. Then again, the Olympian | would dash at his opponent, who stood on | guard waiting for the attack, and smash | Johnson a left on the jaw and retire with- | out a return blow.. 1 Johnson's failure wis owing principally | to his method of fighting. He invariably | waited for the attack and instead of up- | percutting his antagonist when the op- | portunity arrived he stood posing, while thinking what was best to do man less his size by several inches he | invariably received a left hand smash in the face, which upset all his plans. In| the fifth round Johnson was sent to the | canvas by a right-hander on the jaw, | where he remained eight seconds. He got up only to be sent down again, and then | the tmely gong sounaed the énd of the | round. The seconds of the Multnomah Club's champion, seeing that Johnson's fight was hopeless, 'signaled defeat and amid wild McDonald was declared the victor. on, however, put up a game fight. W. J. Leonard of tie Olympic Club de- feated William Hoskins of the Excelsior Club in a six-round bout. Leonard’s body | punches knocked the steam out of Hos- kins, who fought gamely to the end. “Doc” Flynn of the Excelsior Club got | a_decision ‘over J. Kane of the Liberty Club, but it must be said with all credit to Kane that he suffered defeat only by the very poor judgment displayed by the | judges,” who received well merited cen- sure from the members. The judges were S. Carter of the Olympic Club and Frank Cerini of the Reliance Club of Oakland. | The results of the rounds fought were: In the first Kane scored most points. The second and third were evenly con- tested. The fourth round was Kane's be- yond a question of doubt. In the fifth Kane sent his opponent to the carpet and had all the better of the argument. The sixth was fairly even, although Kane had a shade the best of the round. How the judges could have figured otherwise is a mystery even to the boxer who was handed the champlonship belt. He cer- tainly will not condescend to wear it as an emblem of victory. A. Hellman of the Sacramento Athletic Club lost a decision by his own foolish- | ness. He thought that F. Ast of the | Manhattan Athletic Club was easy game and started in at the sound of the gong to mix things and win a_quick and easy | victory. The first round was give and | take, “Ast held his own with the heavy- hitting lad from the capital city, and in the second round arter some hot ex- changes Hellman ran bang into a_right- | hand cross which caught him on the jaw | point, and down went Hellman on his back.” When he regained his equilibrium he wanted to know what had happened. “Why, can’t you see what is up?”’ asked one of his seconds. “Look across the ring and_you will witness the result. There is Professor Ast, the jaw-smasher, try- ing on the Hermann Oelrichs’ champion | belt.”” Poor Hellman looked _surprised, and wondered how he received the blow that killed his aspirations. —_————— NEALL COURT-MARTIAL. Findings in the Case Transmatted to | the Secretary of Waz. The findings of the court-martial in the | case of Lieutenant J. M. Neall, Fourth Cavalry, U. S. A., have been forwarded to Washington for the approval of the Secretary of War. Among army officers and others familiar with military affairs the opinion is entertained that if executive clemency i8 not interposed the accused | will be dismissed from the army. | —_————— | PAUNCEFOTE HOPES FOR ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL | LONDON, May %.—The corres | 3 v %. pondent of the Daily News at The Hague says: | 8ir Jullan Pauncefote entertains the hope that the Peace Conference will favor the | establishment of a permanent tribunal for | optional recourse for arbitration and me- diation. He says: ““What is wanted is | to secure prompt and certain aids to in- ternational justice. This is the right way to discourage the use of forces to further the cause of arbitration. The mere fact of the existence of such a tribunal would exert a potent influence in behalf of in- ternational justice.” It 1s considered a good omen that American and Spanish flags are flying from the neighboring windows of a hotel | where the delegates of these nations are fellow-guests. It is understood that the | sort of organic statute Great Britain and | the United States are prepared to sup- | and | with | port is one on the lines of the memorial | of the New York Bar Association to President McKinley.

Neill Gresham of Jonesboro, Tenn., a nephew of the late Secretary of State, W. Q. Gresham, com- mitted suicide this evening at the Per- kins Hotel by shooting himself through the heart.

The officer who made the arrest locked him in a room in the notel and while alone Gresham killed himself. Woman's power is largely dependent upon her ability to interest, entertain, at- tract and please. It is for this reason that women strive to become accomplished They study in order that they may converse inteiligently on_all subjects. They strive to become good musicians, graceful dan- cers and amiable hostesses. "All accomplishments are unavailing if a woman suffers from ill-health in a womanly way. The special weakness peculiar to the womanly organism, will rapidly wreck the general health. The sufferer will lose her natural vivacity, her wit, her good looks, and the ambition and power to display the accomplishments at her command. “Any woman affected in this way should resort to Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Itis a wonderful medicine for ailing women. It is the invention of an eminent and skillful physician, Dr. R. V.
