SAN FRANCISCO'S OLDEST MAN » - PASSES PEACEFULLY TO RES Aupi Maru Mori, the Last of a Kingly House of India and of the Remarkable Age Rude Cabin, Where He Had Lived | | UPI MARU MORI, the last de- scendant of a great Maharajah of India, once heir to a vast princi- pality and in his youth resplen- dent in, costly raiment and mag- nificent gems, befitting the son of an Ori- ental ruler and Croesus, is dead. He died a pauper. Of all the riches once his he had naught left save the sad memories of opulence and princely grandeur. Just off Franklin street, between Lombard and Greenwich, is the rude hut that sheltered the aged recluse for many vyears, and there on an old bed, beneath tattered cov- ers, they found the scion of a noble house of India lying peacefully, with his with- ered, placid face turned to the eky and the light of life gone from his eyes. Aupi Maru Mori's story was such an one as Kipling would like to write. He had reached the remarkable age of 130 years, according to the best authority, and his history was a most romantic one. He was a prince of a royal house in India, and the entire line was wiped out when the British shot the shoulders away from a crowd of men at the cannon’s mouth at the end of the Sepoy rebellion. That is Aupi Maru Mori was never found by the Eastern race of which he was a prince. There are many stories in India which have never been published. As far back as the memory of white man can run and beyond the ken of the oldest Mexican who ever Ilived where San Francisco now stands Aupi was a resident of the borders of what was known as Washerwoman's Bay on North Beach. Long before Marshall found that gold that lay along the streams of California, Aupi was camping in the hol- low that an improving municipality after- ward filled u He fished and worked and led the itive life of the natives . | before the “gringo’ came. AN OLD MAN BEFORE '49. . Even in those days Aupi was regarded as an old man, and as a city spread over the sand hills and new ways OPPOE THE NEW CHINESE SQUAD Merchants Claim There Is No Reason to Make Change. The scheme to appoint a squad of spe- cial policemen for Chinatown to replace a number of watchmen who have done duty in that section for vears is likely to become defunct. It is opposed by a num- ber of the better element of Chinese and the Sam Yup Society, largely composed of merchants, and is regarded as nothing more than an effort on the part of manip- ulators to secure the distribution of money which has been hitherto paid di- rectly to the watchmen. When the scheme was first proposed it was announced that the squad would be placed for the purpose of suppressing crime and routing the highbinder element. The members of the new force were to work in conjunction with the regular po- lice, but the regular police laughed at.the idea and resented the invasion. China- town was never in a more peaceable con- dition than at the present time and the present force of men is regarded as being equal to cope with any emergency. The announcement that the squad would suppress highbinders is ridiculed by the police who are familiar with Chinatown affairs. The men will be under the di- rect supervision of Chinese, and there is hardly a Mongolian in the quarter who is not affiliated in one way or another with some tong, or-soclety. All torgs, when they become involved in difficulties, em- ploy highbinders to murder adversaries. The police will oppose the scheme. They will refuse to permit the men to wear uniforms, to wear badges or to carry ring the day the ex- | * | Druggists, 50c flask.

Many men who have grown into promi- nence and wealth in San Francisco re- member that as boys they had teased the old man, who was known to them as "‘Old Whopee.” They knew he had a history, and when he became too feeble to aid himself, they provided for his comfort. About a year ago a scheme wgs con- cocted to take the old man to the City and County Hospital, where he could get proper care. When the attendant came for him the old fellow got out of his bed and made such a vigorous fight that the charitable plan was abandoned. Ie absolutely refused to accept any public charity and in his later years subsisted entirely upon those whom he supposed were his friends, Among them were Tom Convey, who has a butcher-shop in the vicinity of Aupi’'s cabin and who furnish- ed the old man with meat for thirty vears and whose wife cooked Aupi's meals when he could no lonfier help him- elf. Another one who took a great In- ‘terest in the old fellow was _Captain Canty of Engine Company 31, who had Aupi’s cabin rebuilt for him when it was burned down, and daily went to see that the decrepit prince was in want of noth- ing. The members of Engine Company 81 took a keen interest in the welfare of the former nrince. HIS PASSING UNHERALDED. Of late years Aupi’s mind has not been entirely clear, but before that he told the story of his life. He said he was the son of an Indian princé and was kidnaped when he was a child and taken to the Hawaiian Islands. Very faintly he re- membered that he and a sister, attired in barbaric splendor, played fn the cool court of a duiet building fin Calcutta. Then rough hands were laid on him and his_next mem was of the palms and coffee orchards of Hawali. There he lived for some years, a slave to a Chinese planter, and finally came to California as a fugitive. He knew nothing of postal facilities or the ways of the Western world, but from a Malay on a sailing ves- sel he learned that his father and broth- ers had wasted years in trying to trace paid so much a month and the surplus was to be held hy those who were to col- lect the money COMPANY TO RAISE CALIFORNIA TOBACCO Local Business Men Have Flourish- ing Plantation at Hermitage in Mendocino County. Under the name of Hermitage Tobacco Company 2 number of prominent busi ness men of the city have banded them. selves together to introduce tobacco rais- ing on a profitable basis in_California. They have secured an extensive tract of ground at Hermitage in Mendccin County, about eleven miles from Clove dale. Already s they have ninety-five acres of the plant under cultivation. Ten acres of this have been converted into a hothouse ' by the means of canvas siretched over poles ten feet in height. The tobacco plants which have been thus protected are flourishing. The company recently gave an excurs- ion to the Flamnuon in order that the members might see the progress that had been made. Professor. E. Kellner of the University of California was invited to be one of the party. After inspecting the plants, and their leaves which had acquired an average length of twent. one inches the professor declared that the prospect for a good crop was most encouraging. He said that the climate of this State was better for tobacco rals- ing than that of Florida. Among those interested in the company are: A. H. Ahrens, president; John M. Hartman, vice-president; J. H. Pein and Charles Bush, .directors; Patrick Hig- gins, J. O. Albright, F. P. Schuster, K. J. D. Heise, Henry Flemer, John A Schmidt, 3 Captain F. B. Peterson and Heury Warnke.

For years he struggled to return where plenty awaited him. He managed to save 1200, but the two banks where he depos- ited the money failed and then he lost heart. He died quietly and peacefully, well beloved by those who knew him, and he left no farewell word to the world to acquaint them with the fact that a prince had passed away. HHTIES VT SHEEP ILAND Pleasure Seekers Have Outing on Water and on Land. The Pleasure Seekers, a club of Native Sons, and about 160 guests left from Jack- son street wharf yesterday morning on the Caroline, Captain Leale, for Sheep Island to enjoy an outing and an old- fashioned clam feast. The excursionists were taken along the city front and then around the bay, passing the naval traia- ing station and the islands, after which the steamer was headed for the point of destination. At a pretty little cove the excursion- ists were welcomed by Henry Lester, who, with his assistants, had passed the 'previous day and night prepar- ing for the coming. Soon after land- ing the members of the club were formed in army line and each furnished with a tin dipper and spoon and marched to the headquarters of Chief Cook Ed Doyle, ‘who served to each toothsome clam chow- der. Half an hour later the clambake was uncovered and there were clams, corn, sausage and striped bass for all ‘with beer and other liquids. On a platform under: shady trees sat Professor Ricardo di Bartoni with his orchestra of Native Sons, discoursing popular airs. This was later on taken possession of by the Colum- bia minstrels, who amused the assemblage with songs. jokes and stories, Tom Hick- ey acting as interlocutor. This part of the programme of entertainment was added fo by some well told stories bv Captain Leale from the deck of the Caroline. At 4 o’clock there was a surprise for all in the shape of 100 chickens that had been | baked in 2 cave of red hot stones. This novel portion of the club’s hospitality was greatly enjoyed, for the poultry was dell- cloysly flavored and was different in taste from that which is either baked or roast- ed in the ordinary way. During the after- noon quite a number of the party had a swimming match in the bay. The affair was under the direction of ¥Fred Suhr Jr., George Christmann and Henry Lester. The Pleasure Seekers have arranged through their committee, D. F. Nunan, W. Goetz, J. Keegan, Hy Brodfelt and Daniel Wilson, for a grand ball in Native Sons’ Hall on the night of August 5. —_— ®it all the land planted in corn in the United States this year were massed, the area would_exceed the British isles, Hol- land and Relgium combined or — four- fifths of the area of France and Ger- many. | SPECIAL CURTAIN JAND., TOWEL SALE.
