Not all Englishmen are seeking titles of nobility. At least there have been many | subjects of the crown who might have worn coronets, but declined to accept them for varying reasons that were at least sufficient to themselves, says the Chicago Chronicle. The late William Ewart~Gladstone was a notable example of the latter order of humanity, for the peerage which time after time was held out to him was always rigidly rejected. Swinburne might have had a “Sir” be- fore his name had he chosen to accept the baronetcy which was offered him some years ago, but with true democratic in- dependence he refused to accept a title which, after all, could do little to en- hance his fame. Similarly Mr. Watts, R. A., whose pic- | tures are known the wide world over, | could have ranked with Lord Leighton | had not he stoutly asserted his objection to_titles and elected to remain as he was, Lord Tennyson, when first approached on the question of accepting a peerage, was strongly opposed to the idea, but eventually succumbed to the offer on the ground that his son would inherit the title and that he was therefore justified in_taking it. It is rumored that the late Professor Huxley was offered a knighthood by Mr, Gladstone—an offer which was politely but firmly declined. A similar honor was proposed to his distinguished contem- porary, Professor Tyndall, and was also declined without hesitation. It is an open secret that Charles Dick- ens might have added the word ‘‘Bart” :io his illustrious name had he chosen to o so. A few years before the demise of Verdi, the iliustrious composer, the late King | Humbert sent for the maestro and of- fered him a dukedom in recognition of his services to music. Verdl refused the days. 25 Funeral services to-morrow, (Thursday). at 10:30 o'clock, at St. John's Episcopal Church. Oakland. Interment private.

BURGLARS BUSI IN THE MIS3ION Housebreakers Are Ply- ing Their Trade With Much £uccess. Miss Riley. Believes Thieves Chloroformed Her Before Looting Gems. The residents of the Mission are con- ! siderably alarmed over a series of bur- glaries committed during the past two weeks. In nearly every case the house- breakers secured valuable booty, consist- ing principally of jewelry. Saturday night the residence of J. A. Riley, at 2733 How- ard street, was entered while the family i was asleep and a lot of jewelry, $150 in coin and a lady’s cloak were stolen. An entrance was effected by prying open a rear window with a “jimmy.” Miss Riley, who lost heavily by the burglary, believes that the burglar chloroformed her before ransacking the house. “I am an unusually light sleeper,” re- marked Miss Riley last night when telling of the burglary, “and the fact that I was not awakened leads me to believe that the housebreakers chloroformed me before they proceeeded to gather what valuables their hands on. When I was awakened in the morning by one of my relatives and informed of the visit of the burglars I felt a dizziness in my head, and at once concluded that some powerful drug had been administered tc me while I slept. Not a room in the house was over- looked by the burglars. They even en- tered the kitchen and, strange to say, stole a roll of butter which had been left on the table. My brother's shoes were also taken from under his bed. After ap- propriating my jewel case they took it down stairs and forced it open. For some reason they did not take a valuable gold buckle which was in the box. Altogether they secured three gold and ‘two silver watches, a lady's cloak, $150 in money and | some other articles of value.” Miss Riley is satisfied that the burglars who robbed her home are the same men who entered the residence of J. Dowd, at 2713 Howard street, a short time ago and lgot away with a lot of jewelry and cloth- ng. Captain Seymour and his men are dili- gently striving to capture the bold house- Ibreflkers. but thus far their efforts have been unsuccessful. During the past two weeks at least a half-dozen_houses in the vieinity of the home of Miss Riley have been broken into and valuable property stolen. From the clever way the burglars work the po- lice are satisfied that they are expert housebreakers. FOLITICS AND RELIGION IN NORTH CAROLINA Colored Brother Expelled Appeals to the Courts for Rein- statement. A strange case has been brought before the Supreme Court of North Carolina by a colored citizen of that State, who seeks to be reinstated as a member of a church which had expelled him for voting the Democratic ticket. The plaintiff pleads that the offense charged was not of a sut- ficiently heinous character to justify such, a serious form of disciplining. He asks that his standing in the church be re- stored and that a precedent be thus es- tablished which would clearly define the political rights of a church member. No doubt the petitioner makes a strong | case, though of course from this distant | point of view we can scarcely estimate the enormity of the offense as charged. It may be possible that from the stan point of the North Carolina colored breth- ren voting a Democratic ticket is the 1If so, it is difficult to understand why _ this expelled sinner wants to get back into such a hostile camp. They can never feel therue broth- erly love for a black sheep whom the law forces back into their select fold. In short, if this North Carolina plaintiff is looking’ for trouble of the liveliest and most persistent sort he will find it ready for immediate harvesting if the Supreme Court grants his petition. —_————— Paper by the Sea.

Faunt LeRoy, who for the past five months has been furnishing the necessary gray matter for its columns, got dis- heartened or a job last week, threw up his lease on the plant and left suddenly for the city without providing a successor. The undersigned, who, with wife and baby, was dreaming away a delightful vacation amid historic scenes, fragrant flowers and bright sunshine here by the sea, and escaping the rigors of a Penn- sylvania winter, was enlisted to take charge of the paper until other arrange- ments could be made. No one was found brave enough to tackle the job of infusing new life in The Cypress, after its experience under the management of the parties to whom it was leased, so it was decided to discon- tinue its publication after this issue and remove the plant hence. (More sobs from o. c.) Twelve f'ears ago the paper was started with fairly bright prospects; and under Messrs. Michaelis and Mr. Brown’s man- agement proved a success, During the past ten months. however, frequent changes in editors have taken place, and finally the paper reached a point where it could not pay expenses. Despite the fact that one of the hardest business enterprises to kill is a country weekly newspaper, in this case a new piiot ready to risk himseif on Monterey’s uncertain journalistic sea could not be found, and The Cypress is allowed to join the ranks of 50 many more of Monterey's past enterprises that have flourished for a time only to wither and fade away, leaving behind the memory of hopes des fgrli]ed)and ambitions and aims unrealized. obs.

L i Ancient Egyptian Campaign. ‘That Egypt and France held intercourse as early as 4000 B. C, is proved by the marked resemblance of Inscriptions found in the two countries. The excavations of Professor Flinders Petrie have brought to light evidence of an ‘extremely ancient movement between the land of the Pha- raohs and the, countries bordering on the Mediterranean. This communication, like all other great invasions of history, its origin in an effort at trade extension. The great wars of the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty were provoked by surrounding nations jealous of Egypt's gawlng wealth and power. in retaliation Egypt carried the campaign into Asia_and Europe, and, judging from the inscriptions mentioned, must have pushed as far west as France. Professor Petrie has in his possession a series of figures found in Malta and neolithic remains from Brassenpuoy in | France which are beyond chance of doubt | the work of Egy‘;;ennn-. They establish intercourse long before the period which is generally recognized as the beginning of the history of the countries of Burope, 11 l FONA SETILES WITH THOM Actress Arranges Her| Financial Affairs in Chicago.. —_— Brother of Hopper's Former + Wife Relinquishes His Claim. ¥ 1 CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—Thomas- Wallace, the only brother of Edna Wallace Hop-, per, the actress, and a joint heir with her | to a fortune of over $200,000, to-day relin- | | quished his claim to the estate for $500 cash and a promise of $100 a month dur- ing his life, The negotiations were car- ried on secretly at the Auditorium Annex, and as soon as the agreement was signed Miss Hopper, with her attorney, returned to New York, just twenty-four hours after they arrived in Chicago. Thomas Wallace has lived in Chicago for years and is engaged in the saloon business. Mrs. Wallace, the mother, after being a_widow for many years, married A. L. Dunsmuir, the marriage taking place after Edna Wallace was divorced from De Wolf Hopper. A few weeks after the marriage Dunsmuir died, leav- ing his wife the entire estate. i oon after Edna Wallace Hopper an- nounced she would never marry again as long as her mother was living, and while she was preparing for a visit with her she received word of her mother's death. When | the will was probated it was found thati Mrs. Dunsmuir had left the bulk of her | fortune to her daughter and §50,000 to her son, to be paid to him when he reacfied the age of 45 years. Since the death of his mother Thomas Wallace has fre. quently appealed to his sister for assist- ance. Feeling that some kind of agreement should be made with her brother Miss Hopper came to Chicago, accompanied by her attorney. The party arrived at the Auditorium Annex last night. Thomas Wallace met them at the hotel and at the end of a long conference a stenographer was called and an agreement dictated by which he relinquished his interest to his sister for the consideration named.

That is the law of the mint. His mother of glorious memory looked to the left, and British gold coins are alterna- tive in designs. William IV looked to the right on the pieces the mint issued in his reign, George 1V to the left, George III to the right, and so on back through many royal reigns. The mint says also that the monarch’s portrait must be in profile. The rest, so far as choice in designs goes, is left Lo the sovereign's taste, with the particular reservation that he or she may not wear the Wreath of Victory until the army or navy wins laurels for the reign. Willlam IV heads do not show the wreath. Wil- liam's commanders had not the precise opportunity while he was on the throne, but both George III and George IV wore it on their coins, and so did Victoria the Good until the Jubilee of 1887, when the designers substituted the veil and the| crown. Whether Edward VII heads may wear the wreath or not rests at present with Kitchener. If he brings South Africa to order before the mint has prepared new | designs to put before the King his Majesty shall have a wreath. He shall wear a crown at any rate, i he so chooses, for that is a point quite at his Majesty's discretion. And the ‘‘tails” | side of his pieces shall be as he decides. | The King may have an opportunity to | make his influence felt in the interest of the decimal system. Already the London dailies are suggesting this. In an edito- rial the Mail says: “In_almost every country of the world, certainly in_every progressive country outside ‘the British Empire, the decimal system long since has replaced the | clumsy and_elaborate duodecimal of other days. Several even among our col- onies have anticipated the mother coun- try in the part of monetary reform. Can- ada, for instance, has had the decimal system for more than forty years. Eng- land, however, with that curious con- servatism for which she is so rfamou: and which led her to set her face agali electric traction, automobiles the cheap telephone uptil her competitors had fi?lged an immense lead, still lags be- nd. ‘“The advantages of the decimial system are obvious; its disadvantages mainly sentimental. Its adoption would simplify arithmetic immensely and the keeping of accounts. Surely the example of the whole civilized worid must lead us to feel some doubt as to the wisdom of clinging obstinately to our duodecimals.” Even Russia, it seems, which almost is prehistoric in some things, is to have the decimal system of money in operation soon. St. Petersburg, Moscow and other large cities in the Czar's domain are just beginning with it, and in five years the Minister of Finance intends it shall be in operation throughout the empire. Any change will come slowly, however, for the present circulation of Victorian coinage is tremendous, far beyond the possibility of a general ‘“call in.” The pleces will disappear gradually as they wear out. —————— Popular Fallacies as to Anesthetics. The uneducated may be excused for their errors as to medical facts, and es- pecially as to anesthetics, but oné's smiles are likely to become cynical when writ- | ers of fiction make blunders worse than those of the people for whom they writa. Often, indeed, fiction it really is! We read, 'for instance, of murderers putting | chloroform beneath the doors of the sleeping room of their victims, of robbers waving a handkerchief beneath the nose of people asleep or awake and thus ren- | dering them non-resistant in an instant. Of couse, it i not a Kipling or a Zola who thus misses it in ‘“getting up his facts,” or in the accuracy of his “local color,” but it is curious how indifferent to accuracy writers are who should know better and who might so easily learn the truth. The ease with which, in a hun- dred ways, lay writers go wrong as to medical matters should sometimes make them more wary. Any book on surgery or anesthetics, or any physician, would in a few minutes save the novelist his ludicrous = blunders. So much nonsense has also been written or told about the betrayal of secrets or the use of bad lan- guage by patients under an anesthetic that many women are now positively morbid minded about this, and would pre- fer atrocious suffering and danger rather than take ether. “Did I act or talk bad- ly?" is often asked by patients upon awaking, and with a pathetic fright that tells how the mind has been fixed on this rather than the operation. We have no doubt that ‘*‘operation was .refused” is often explained by the Inhibition of this hysteric notion.—American Medical Jour- nal. —_——— Queer Case of Healing. Under the heading “‘A True Story” tha Denver Medical Times tells the follow- ing: Eln the city of Denver there lives an old veteran with a wooden leg. One of his near neighbors is a female ‘Christian Scientist, who is de facto a ‘healer.’ She had remarked the old man’'s imperfect gait, and at once set about on the sly to effect a cure, a la Mrs. Eddy: ‘No such thing as a leg; hence, no such thing as a limp. Avaunt, limp, thou delusion of mortal mind!’ : hat was the healer’s joyful surprise a few mornings later when she beheld our militant iriend paseing by with acnrcel{ a sign of a limp. She eagerly hailed him on his return and said: ‘Oh, my dear Mr. Blank, I have been con- stantly thinking and praying for your recovery, and it appears that my prayers have beén answered. Now, what do you think of Christian Science?" “The old warrior stared, reddened, | grinned and replied: ‘Wal, marm, you | see my old wooden leg was mighty nigh worn out an’ wobbled considerably, but this new piece o' timber that I got yes- | terday goes a damsite better.’” - 1t is in favor of the Christian Scientist that she gave her professional free, at any rate, 3 L ltvlmlth ADVERTISEMENTS.

Inequality of Eastern and Western Schedules Considered. — e CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—At a speclal meet- ing of the General Managers' Assoclation held here to-day a movement was started which may result in a general increase in the ‘wages of trainmen, enginemen, fire- men and switchmen on all big raliroad systems east of Chicago. The meeting was called at the request of the Pennsylvania Company, the cause being the coal shortage in Chicago and other cities, shortage of cars and the con- gested condition of traffic in general. The coal situation, however, was the moving cause for the meeting and a discussion re- | garding it led to a canvass of the entire situation. In the opinion of the majority of the general managers the general congestion 1s due in a measure to ineficiency of the service rendered by employes, and this view led to a discussion of the'labor and wage situation from a rallroad standpoint. Although no formal resolution was passed upon tge subject it was generally agreed that' a raise in the wages of employes would do much toward stimulating them to better work, which in turn would help relieve congested conditions as well as to prevent them. Attention was called, to the fact that the wages of operating employes of rail- roads are from 10 to 12 per cent higher, taking the average as a whole, west of Chicago than they are east. The inequal- ity is due to conditions in the ‘early days of railroading when it cost a great deal more to iive in the West than it did in the East and when railroading west of Chicago meant taking big chances. The general managers of Chicago are of the opinion that now is the time to make a concerted action to even up wages all over the country. An effort will be made, it is_sald, to induce the managements of the Eastern lines to grant such increases in wages as will bring them on a parity with the wages paid in the West. Should this be brought about several hundred thousand men will be granted increases and the pay rolls of the Eastern roads, taken as a whole, will be increased sev- eral million dollars. GENERAL LYTLE'S POEM I AM DYING, EGYPT, DYING Was Written in 1858 and Not oa the Twe of Chickamauga as Often Published. It has been often published, and is gen- erally believed, that the famous roen:l. be- ginning, “I am dying, Egypt, dying,” was written by General W. H. Lytle, the night before he was killed at Chickamauga in 1863, and was found on his body at his death. According to the Courier-Journal this is not true. . At a meeting of the Filson Club, a his- torical society, in Louisville a short time ago, Colonel Durrett, the president, stat- ed that he remembered to have read the oem in the Cincinnati Commercial in $58. Colonel J. Stoddard Johnston re- ‘membered to have seen it in print before the battle of Perryville, where General Lytle was wounded. Captain Pirtle.-who was within arms’ length of General Lytle | when he was wounded at Chickamauga, had talked with him about the heard from him an account o cumstances under which it was written. “It was first printed in _the Cincinnatl Commercial on July 20, 158. This settles the stol to the well known paem'’s having n en and found at Chickamauga. but the discussion brought out another fact which explains the persistent story. A poem was found in (eneral Lytle’'s pocketbook after his death, which has never been published. It was entitled, “Company K.” and Cap- tain Pirtle read it to the Filson Club re- cently. There is no doubt that this poem has been confounded with the earlier one. “The incident,”” the Courler-Journal re- marks, shows the usefulness of such organ- izations as the Filson Club, where histori- cal papers are subjected to rigid discus- sion, and all the information obtainable upon a given point is brought out, when necessary to correct erroneous state- ments.” > If the Courier-Journal pleases, we sug- gest that it use its influence now to have the club determine, finally, and beyond apepal, -at_its next session. who wrote “Alr is quiet along the Potomac,” and when? Beet Sugar in Spain. Since the loss of her colonles Spain has made rapid progress in the development of her home industries, esgeclally in the production of beet sugar. Consul Hughes of Coburg reports that Spain in 1898 im- ported 748,724 pounds of sugar, but that in 1899 she received from abroad only 20,346 pounds. In 1500 she imported prac- tically nothing in that line, and the prob- ability is that she will soon be an ex- porter. - And this i reminiscent of the claim that the extensive growing of sugar beets in other countries is about to glut the world's sugar markets. Mr. H adds: ““The European producing are Germany, Austria, Russia, France, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Servia, Burgaria, Roumania, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Spain. entering the fleld: Egypt her soil is adapted to the cultiva the beet; the United States is* em all, with Argen footsteps.” ughes lands ing to follow in her OCEAN ruvin Pacific Coast Stsamship Co.
