While Sergeant Hay was but 33 years of age at the time of his death he is a veteran of two armies and comes of good fighting stock. A subject of great Britain, he served his time in the army of the Queen, and was for two years a corporal. His father before him had worn the red coat for twenty-one years. Young Hay came to this country abut three years ago and took up his residence at 17 Carolina street. His frank manner and engaging ways carned him many friends in the Po- trero. At the outbreak of hostilities the fighting blood in his veins showed itself and he enlisted at the first op- portunity. His soldierly bearing and unfaltering attention to duties soon won him a sergeant’s chevrons and had he remained longer at the front the chances are that he would have been advanced still further. With his battery Le went aboard the transport Portland. He was in bad ith at the time and when the vessel s three days out from Manila he umbed to the disease which has wrought sad havoc among white men B Although he did not know it at the time, his father had passed away twelve days before him.

SACRAMENTO, May 26.—Henry Clay hipman died at his home in this city this afternoon at the age of 46. He was one of the best known Native Sons In the order, and had the distinction of having been the senior past president of Sacramento Par- lor and the senior president of the Grand Parlor. He served a term in the Legisla- an Assemblyman from one of the city districts, and was at one time a mem- ber of the City Board of Education. By occupation writer, and for many years his work was | regarded as of the highest type, com- manding the admiration of his fellow craftsmen wherever exhibited. It was in 1868 that Chipman engaged himself as an apprentice with James Calvyn, a pioneer gn writer, whose work was seen on the ores of Huntington, Stanford, Crocker d other early merchants of Sacramento, as well as upon the floating palaces which in those red-letter days of river travel plied between Sacramento and San Fran- cisco. Calvyn s an _artist, but the young man who engaged himself with him in 1868 possessed a skill and taste which w brought him great fame had he sought the higher realm of art. With Chipman sign writing became an art, and he grew to a master of it. The imprint of Calvyn and Chipman was to be found underneath the lettering on every bank window and upon every costly sign in Northern California, and for a long time they held a monopoly of the business, to ch Chipman in part succeeded twelve ears ago, when Calvyn died. Chipman was very popular with the Na- tive Sons and in the personal walks of life. He was a native of Sacramento. His widow, the daughter of H. Weinreich, an old-time merchant, survives him, as do a daughter and two sons. —_—— HASSALL JILTED A MAIDEN. Romance Antedating a Recent Trag- edy at Stockton. STOCKTON, May 26.—It has just come to light that a week before the marriage of H. A. Hassall, husband of the woman who killed Mrs. Will Hickman and then herself in this city recently, a Miss Vaughn came out here from Denver to become his wife. That was over a year ago. He made ostensible arrangements the ceremony, but while she was in akland at the residence of her sister, a married woman, Hassall went to San Francisco and married Miss Reike, the English girl. Miss Vaughn has not been seen here since, and nothing further is known of her. Hassall had written her that he was sick and unable to come to her, and she came here, expecting to find him in bed. The story was learned through a neighbor, who directed Miss Vaughn to Hassall's house. g e Eccentric Character Dead. SALINAS, May 26.—Rafael Miranda, for the past fifty-five years a resident of this section, died at his home near Santa Rita this morning, aged 89 years.

SANTA BARBARA, May 26.—The big grapevine in the Montecito will be cut down on Monday. This vine is the largest of its kind in the world, and no tourist considers his visit to Santa Barbara complete without having seen it. It is known the world over. The trunk is over four feet in circumference and the trellis 75 feet square. Albert Magee, its owner, is satisfied that the vine is dying, and so has decided to destroy it. The vine is supposed to be from 75 to 100 vears old. There is no definite record of its planting, but the cutting was set by a Mr. Robles. Its history is interesting. The original vine, which was taken up after its death and carried to Philadelphia in 1876 as an exhibit at the Centennial Exposition, was a cutting from a Mission grape. It had been used as a riding whip by some senorita who came to visit the Robles home either from Ventura or Carpinteria. She planted the cutting with her own hands and it took root and grew undisturbed for years. From the thrifty young vine the Robles family took another cut- ting and planted it near the first. The soil and other conditions were extraordinarily favorable, and both vines grew to enormous size. The trunk will be on exhibition at the Chamber of Commerce. =R P2ets OO0 RORGRONOROYU URORORORORINO R ONOROROBON OCCUPIES RABBI MUSTERING 0UT ARBER'S PULPIT THE CUBAN ARMY QR0 @ L UN0SRONOR0% 0N B0 ‘ 1 Genti'e Pastor Preaches Distribution of Gratuity In a Synagogue. ‘ Begins To-Day. | | HAVANA, May 26.—The distribution of | the $3,000,000 which the United States Gov- ernment has offered as a gratuity to the Cuban troops on disbanding and surren- dering their arms will begin at 10 o’clock the regular Frid; ing in the | to-morrow morning at the foot of the synagogue.
