Sir Edwin Arnold contributes an enter- taining article to the July Delineator on the ceremonies attending the crowning of King Bdward, in the course of which he recalls a singular incident that oc- curred at the crowning of King George II1. A large diamond fell from tie crown of the King as he passed up the choir to his throne in the chancel, and those who believed in such things as potents and previsions looked for some event pre- saged by the accident. They found it afterward, to their own content. in that separation of the American colonies from the mother country, which was the be- inning of the great United States of to- ay. e ‘The Mayor Was Thankful.

This will be the first time that the fair has been held outside of Qakland and the citi- zens of this town are determined to make it the best event of the kind that has taken place in many yedrs. As the country around Oakland became more and more built up the county fair became more and more a racing meet. Agricultural exhibits and the products of the county became entirely ignored. and when Oakland became the racing center of the coast in winter the trotting stock races in_summer failed to draw. The peo- ple of Pleasanton then determined (o make an effort to secure the fair for thi city and to revive the tnterest that w. formerly felt in this event. The prope tion was made to the directors of the dis trict and their consent was secured. this the people of Pleasanton were as ed by Emil Nusbaumer. Judge N place, gave his support to the proposition and Pleasanton won. The people of Pleasanton have generally resolved themselves into- a committee to make the fair a success. It is proposed to put the programme into the hands of the officers and directors of the Pleasanton Athletic Club. This club was formed last winter to develop the athletic talent of Pleasanton, and as all of the officers are interested in the development of the town they feel that they can best serve it by arranging an attractive programme for the local porton of the week’'s meeting. The officers of the club are: Frank Diavila, president; r' T secretary president; Fred E. Adams, MacDougall, gymnasium director; G. W. Det- jens, F. H.

The University of Chicago, says the New York Tribune, will *‘segregate and coeducate,” according to the headline in a Chicago paper. To educate and to ‘“co- educate’” are well recognized functions of an Institution of learning, but to ‘“‘segregate’” is something new. President Harper is trying to form a compromise between the types of universities which flourish east and those which thrive west of his institution. He is going to offer to the public a man's college and a wo- man’s college and a coeducational college all in one. Students entering may take their choice whether they will be “seg- regated” with thelr own sex in the class- rooms or ‘‘coeducated” with the other. “It is expected that we will have two quadrangles in addition to the one we have now,” says Dr. Harper. “It is pro- posed to have the one in which women will be most Interested stretch iwo blocks along the Midway east of the present campus, with the men’'s quadrangle stretching two blocks to the west from the principal group. The plan for divi- sion of the sexes will probably be more welcome to some than to others. For those who much prefer the system of attending classes in which are both sexes the authorities are contemplating the addition of a section in many of the classes in which men and women will recite together.” There seems to be no provision in this “go-as-you-please” plan of education for such an emergency as would arise if all of one sex should de- cide to ‘‘segregate” and some or all of the other wish to coeducate! —_——————— Increase in Los Angeles Property.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 6. As if it were a premonition of his im- pending death, David W. Hottel, a mem- ber of Dirigo Company No. 57, Uniformed Renk, Knights of Pythias, carried the regiment’s colors furled in the Fourth of July parade In this city. The color-bearer was compelled to furl the flag because of a tear in the banner., This mark of mourning was noticed at the time, but it gained much sigmificance tc-day, when Hottel's body was identified at Richmond by his brethren, where he had met death within twenty-four hours after Hottel had marched with his fel- lews. Hottel left his residence, 1080 Sixty-sev- enth street, yesterday morning on a fish- ing trip to Richmond, going out on his bicycle. His body was found late yester- day afternoanh on the rocks near where he had been fishing. Close by was his fishing pole and bicycle. His failure to return home last night alarmed his wife,| v'ho sent for friends this morning after’ learning that a body had been recovered. H. Michel went at once to Richmond and identified the remains, which were brought to Oakland to-day. It is supposed Hottel slipped and fell on the rocks and was stunned and drowned before assistance could reach him. Hottel was 37 years old. Besides his wife, a daughter eight years of age sur- vives. He was a butcher and had also worked as a carpenter. His fraternal af- filiations included membership in the Journeymen Butchers’ Association, Dirigo Lodge No. 224, Knights of Pythias, and Dirigo Company No. 57, Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias. The funeral will be held under the direction of those organ- izations on a day yet to be selected. UNIQUE PHENOMENA AT ERUPTION OF PELEE Scientists Explain the Strange Way in Which St. Pierre Was Overwhelmed. Some of the phenomena attending the destruction of St. Plerre have been difficult to explain, especially the sheet of flame that seems to have accompanied or closely followed the violent explosion of gas. Professor Verrill of Yale states his view to be that the heat is sufficient to cause the dissoclation of hydrogen and oyxgen from water coming suddenly into contact with the lava in the crater, and that in the case of sea water, chlorine would be dissociated from sodium. These gases suddenly ejected with great violence and exploding in the air above the crater ‘would produce the effects manifested on so great a scale at Martinique. The peo- ple were killed by the sudden explosion of a vast volume of hydrogen and oxygen; and this accounts for the sudden burning ‘of flesh and clothes, as well as of build- ings and of vessels in the roadstead. The chlorine combining with some of the hy- drogen would produce hydrochloric acid, which is poisonous and suffocating and would quickly kill all those not destroyed by the first explosion.—New York Sun. BESTS FOOTPADS AT EMERYWILLE Horseman Fights When He Is Told to Throw Up His Hands. Tcwn Police Arrest a Pair of Suspects, One of Whom Is Identified. AL Oakland Office San Francisco C: 1118 Broadway, July In a patile at midnight with a pair of armed footpads James Hamilton, a horse- man, bested the brace of highwaymen at Emeryville last night and escaped unin- Jured with his money saved. Half an hour after the encounter, which occurred in front of the Randlett Hotel on Park avenue, Marshal Lane and Depuly Marshal Thomas Brown arrested men on San Pablo avenue, one of whom who gave the name of James Riley, w: identined by Hamllton as one of_his as- sailants. The other said his name was James Maguire. The pair were taken to the County Jail where they will be held pending further investigation. Hamiiton was walking briskly down Park avenue, when he was stopped by the footpads, one of whom held a pistol at his head, ordering him to throw up his hands. Instead of obeying the horseman gave battle. The second robber started to strike Hamilton, but did not land. The horse trainer managed to wrench the pistol out of the first assailant’s hand. As soon as that occurred Hamilton dropped the weapon and ran. The highwaymen were disconcerted by the attack and quickly made off toward San Pablo ave- nue. The prisoners said they belonged in San Francisco and had crossed the bay to take a ride through Oakland, intending to return by way of Golden Gate, taking the Berkeley local traln. But the train had left for San Francisco some time before the men were arrested. THE MUCH COVETED ORDER OF THE GARTER Lately Bestowed by King Edward Upon the Young King of Spein. The Order of the Garter, which was re- cently conferred on the Duke of Marlbor- | ough, is the most famous of the historic orders of chivalry. It was founded by King Edwarad IIT about 1348. The order is limited to twenty-five knight companions, chosen, with hardly any exception, from the British nobility, together with the sovereign and the Prince of Wale: A Knight of the Garter, "K. G.,"” is, at his investiture, allotted a stall in St. George's Chapel, at Windsor, over which are set up for his lifetime his sword helmet, crest and banner. The decora- tions of the knights of the order consti- tute a most elaborate and imposing ar- ray, consisting of the garter, mantle, sur- coat, star, hood, hat, collar, George, lesser George and ribbon. Of these the collar is constructed of twenty-six medals gold, joined by true lovers’ knot, and each having for its border a garter with its motto, ““Honi soit qui mal y pens (“Evi to him who evil thinks'’) in the popular version, and for its interior a rose, al- ternately white and red. From the collar hangs the badge of George, an image of that saint encountering the dragon. The garter itself, in accordance with the legend and origin of the order, is worn below the knee. It is of dark blue vel- vet, edged with gold, with the motto in golden letters. .The generally accepted story is that at a court ball the Countess of Salisbury, having dropped her garter, the King, observing some of his courtiers smile, picked it up, and, with the fam- ous words, placed it around his own knee. Tt is also sald that it came to be adopted as the battle signal at Crecy.—New York Herald. ——————————— AMUSING ERRORS OF SOME INDEX-MAKERS Those Make Research Hard for Who Have to Consult Them. It was not long since the young women in the cataloguing department of the As- tor Library were langhing at a beginner there who catalogued Greek roots under “Botapy.” But some of the mistakes made by beginners elsewhere are just amusing. Many years ago a YOullg Wo- man who had not yet learmed all the in- tricacies of her work was cataloguing a set of works under “Mill.” So she wrote: “Mill on Liberty. “Ditto on the Floss. That is one of the historic mistakes that librarians quote, and a newer one is just as amusing. This was the result of a ung librarian’s inexperience, and read: Lead—See Metallurgy. ? “Lead—Kindly Light. “Lead—Polsoning.” Mistakes of this kind are, of course, not as frequent as those that arise where it is uncertain under which letter a name is to be catalogued. Thus, in the case of the name “Duc de la Rochefoucauld.” the name is “La_ Rochefoucauld” and not “Rockefoucauld,” as many persons are likel{‘;o write it. Then there are difficul- ties for the index-maker as well as for tie reader when it comes to the names of perscns who have achleved fame under one name, but are also entitled to a other. Disraeli and Beaconsfleld are ex- amples of this double nomenclature. The way of the index-maker is hard.—New York Sun. —_—— SEVERAL ESTIMATES OF THE AGE OF OUR EARTH Great Phenomena in Its Life Furnish the Data for Com- putation. One of the ways of reckoning the age of the world is that adopted by Professor Joly of computing how long a time must have elapsed for the sea, which was at first fresh, to become charged with all the salt it now contains. Guided by the amount of chloride of sodium—otherwise commen salt—which, accordiing to Sir John Murray, the sea contains, Professor Joly concludes that the earth was $0,- 100,000 to 90,000,000 years old. Dr. Dubois has reported on this matter to the Acad- emy of Sclences at Amsterdam, and he is lea to dispute Sir John Murray's estimate of the amount of sodium carried to the sea by rivers, the outcome of his ex- amination being to reduce the age of the oceans of the world to about 24,000,000 years. This agrees fairly well with Pro- fessor Sollas’ calculation that the deposi- tion of the geological strata, which be- gan as soon as there was sea and land, has taken some 20,000,000 years—a million or two more or less does not matter. Professor George Darwin will not accept less than 56,000,000 years since the earth threw off the moon as a needless incum- brance, and she had begun revolving on her own axis long before.—London Tele- graph. —_—————————— Studies Which Fatigue the Mind. A _very interesting regort by Mr. Parez of Edinburgh, issued by the Board of Education, discusses the question of men- tal fatigue. Attempts have been made to estimate fatigue by such tests as the loss of muscular power, the decrease of sensi- bility in the skin, or increase of inaccur- acy in the work done. Mathematics and (strange to say) gymnastics prove to be the most exhausting subjects: foreign lan- guages and religious instruction come next, but at a _long interval; the mother tongue, natural sclence, geography and history make but little calls on the sys- tem; singing and drawing still less, After- noon work is inferior to and more tiring than that done,in the morning, and even two | of | THINKS 1T WORK OF SOME JOKER Owner of the Mysterious Head Marvels at Its Discovery. Harry Grigg, the Medical Student, Feels He Eas Tesn Hoaxed. BERKELEY, July 6.—After sucecessfuily clearing up the mystery of the severed head which was found in the gulch near | La Loma Park on July 4 by deciaring himseif the possessor of the grisly relle, Harry H. Grigg, the medical student, is trying to unravel the mystery of how the | head, which he had carefully concealed |in the bushes, should have come to hight | and brought him so much unsought for fame. The fact that the grewsome sub- ject, over which he had been working in the seclusion of the lonely eanyon, should bave been discovered lying in the oroad open of a dry creek bottom by Wallace Tgsher, s campanter: aod wenr SN oi his, leads GTIgg to ININK (hal taere LS a practical joke behind the whole oceur- rence. The medical student says that it has been for some time his custom to carry on his anatomical investigations mn the canyon where the head was found, and that with the exception of a few of s girl friends nobody knew of his seeret laboratory, yet on the occasion of the Fourth of July pienfc, In which some of these girl friends and his friend Turner participated, the head, which ie had carefully wrapped in newspapers and concealed in the thicket of brush, was found Turner and displayed (o the horror-stricken company. “I would like to know how it was that that head came to be discovered, and how it was that Turner came to discover it,” said Grigg. “The head has been there for at least three weeks, and when I left it I hid it carefully. It was wrapped in a newspaper and there was not tne slight- est danger that it would be discovered by any picnic party. When it was found it | was said to have been in the bed of the | creek, while I left it high up on the bank | and somie little distance from where the | officials say it was found. How it got | dewn there is a_complete mystery to me. 1 do not see how it could have rolled down there of itself. I would ‘also like to know what became of the paper in which it was and the top of the head. I have made a search for both and have not been able to find them. Turner IS a mem- ber of the same club I am, and when I see him [ am going to ask him a few of these questions.” Young Tugner denies any his part to play a practical joke or get his friend Grigg into unpleasant prom- inence. Concerning his part in the affair attempt_ on he said to-day: . “I am a very good friend of Grigs's, be- ing associated in the same church with him and by other connections. 1 did not know of his practice of carrying on his | dissecting work in the hills. When I dis- | ccvered the head on July 4 it was lying right where I left it and where the dep- uty coroner afterward found it. That was in piain sight in the dry bed of a creek. “I did not take a good look at it, hence had no idea that it had the marks of a medical student’s work about it. Tie ab- sence of the top of the head I took to be an indication that the skull had been | crushed in. On my return to town I re- ported my discovery to Deputy Marshal Howard."” Trying to Prove Kinship to Penn. The search for ancestors is not entirely confined to the new rich and soclally am- bitious.
