IVES A DINNER 10 THE BEREFT LONDON, Dec. 2.—Queen Alexandra’s dinner this afternoon to the widows and children of those killed in the South Afri- can war formed the most striking demon- stration in London’s observance of Christ- mas. Long before the restivities began crowds gathered in the streets adjacent to the Alexandra Trust building, which was gaily decorated. Over 600 widows and 800 chiidren partook. The bright clothing of the children formed a pleasant contrast to their mothers’ widows' weeds. Inside the building there were military bands on each floor, while Highland pipers, Punch and Judy shows, theatrical troupes and tables full of toys, crackers and special chocolate boxes from the Queen, all lent vivid color and meaning to the celebra- tion. Sir Thomas Lipton, who received the guests on behalf of the Queen, was kept busy helping to lift children and relieving mothers who had brought families larger than they could carry. Sir Thomas read the following message from the Queen: “Pray convey the expression of my very | best wishes to all my guests at the Alex- andra Trust. May they spend a very | happy day and may God help and bless | them throughout the coming year.” | In the course of his speech, Sir Thomas Lipton said: “I feel certain all of you will ever treas- ure the recollection of to-day’s gathering 28 a token of the Queen’s high regard and solicitude for those whose best and dearest laid down their lives for King Edward’s count: The dinner may, ill, be gaken as a queenly which ought t¢ be forever remem- that those who have suffered in behalf of their country should not be for- gotten.” iSir Thomas' calls for cheers for the Queen were answered with a great shout from the happy women and jubilant chil- which the crowds outside took up. fegram was sent to Queen Alexandra expressing the loyal and loving thanks and their mothers and ng and Queen a happy There are 420 species of flowers of pleas- ant perfume which are used in making scents and soaps. FINDS ROBBERS BURIED MONEY LINCOLN, Nebr., Dec. 27.—Detective Malone of the Lincoln Police Department has a package of money which he found | buried near the scene of the hold-up on the Burlington near here a few weeks | ago. The money Is in bills of large de- | nominations and wrapped in four pack- ages of $00 each, like express money usually is. Malone said that he believed | the money to be part of the proceeds of the robbery of the Burlington train, as the find was dug up by him in the vi- cinity of the hold-up. “I think Cramer, Doe and Standish, the three suspects under arrest, are the ones whe buried it,” said Malone, The money has been held for several days by the' officers, who have been searching for the rest of the plunder and g to learn where the bills y came from. The officers regard “‘cache” as one made by the Burling- ton robbers, rather than by the mysteri- our persen who “lifted” a money package of large amount recently from an express | car in the city. | Police officers from Iowa and Omaha | to-day identified two of the three suspects | held here for a month. One of the men, | giving the name of Cramer, was declared to be James Conroy, who served several years in the Anamosa, Iowa, peniten- | tiary for train robbery, and the other, | John Leo, who the visiting officers say has been in both the Nebraska peniten- tiary and the one at Sioux Falls, S. D. The third suspect, who says his name is Standish, was not identified. Are You Going East?

Do you know on what particular day of the year all these strange things take place as they do? Do you know, for instance, that every nation on the globe must now make war according to fixed rules, and that those rules were only made last year? Do you know what those rules are? Do you know how many airships really worked last year, or the remark- able things that were accomplished by North Pole explor- ers? When some one asks you what was the most stupen- dous accident last year of course you think of the 35,000 lives lost at Mont Pelee, but was that the biggest accident? Do you know when and where and how the biggest disaster occurred? Do you know what was the strangest crime on record? Do you want to know the latest records for everything in love and war, politics, finance, science, art, crime, in short, EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN FOR TEE PAST YEAR?

LINDSAY 2 I Inventor Acknowledges Labor of | ! Scotsman ‘Along Lines of Wire- less Telegraphy. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—When Mr. Mar- coni lectured at Dundee, says the London correspondent of the Tribune, he gave full credit to the Scotch inventor, James Bow- man Lindsay, for being the first man who | thoroughly believed in the possibility and | uulity of long distance wireless teleg- | raphy, fitty years ago. He contended that |Tdndsay’'s system was not considerad practicable on account of the enormous electric e¢nergy - required, even for the mest moderate distances, and the neces- sity of placing immersed plates at a con- siderable distance apart, but je admitted that the inventor would have®one much more if he had jived in the present time. | Lindsay’s -biographer has delivered lee: tures on these early experiements in wire- less telegraphy and has ‘exhibited the original apparatus and diagrams. The biography, which will be published short-’ ly, will contain many of Lindsay’'s let- ters or the subject, which prove the orig- inality and feasibility of his experimental work. It is not generally known that Lindsay took out a patent for his method of wireless telegraphy. He began exper- GTY WANTS N NDRMAL SCHDOL Legislature to Be Asked for a Large Ap- propriation. A bill will be introduced in the coming seseion of the State Legislature for the | appropriation of $200,000 for the construc- ton of a new normal school building in this city and $50,000 for the purchase of a site. The present building is wholly in- adequate to accommodate the number of rupils from all over the State who desire to attend the school; besides it is an un- sightly affair. The old structure has been | in use for thirty-five years and appears | as antiquated as some of the buildings | whick “were brought around the Horn in early days. It is unsanitary and sadly in need of repairs. The bill will be introduced in the As- sembly and Senate by the San Franciseo delegation and will have the cordial sup- pert of every legislator from this ecity. In order to pave the way for the proper presentation of the matter before the Legislature the trustees of the San Fran- cisco State Normal School invited the Senators and Assembiymen-elegt of this city to attend a dinrer at the Pup restau- rant yesterday afternoon. Mayor Schmitz, State Superintendent of Schools Kirk and Superintendent-eleet Langdon were also present. The need of a new noraml school buiiding was fully discussed. Mayor Schmitz made a very strong speech in favor of the proposed bill. He called attention to the fact that the nor- mal school bufldings in other parts of the Statc are far superior to the one on Powell street, but said that the local scr.ool surpassed them all in the quality of the training which is given the pupils. Henry G. W. Dinkelspiel gave some rea- sors why a new building is required. He sai that the San Francisco Normal Schoc! is attended by pupils from River- side on the south to Trinity on the north. All the Senators and Assemblymen-elect made short speeches, promising to work for the success of the bill. Assemblyman- elcet Leininger of Trinity, who was alse in attendance, promised to give his sup- port to the bill. The meeting was pre- sided over by Judge S. C. Denson, presi- dent ofsthe Normal School trustees. The other trustees present were T. A. Hyde, V. J. Hawkins and Vanderlynn Stow. imenting in the ponds mround Dundee in 1844 and resumed in 1853 at Portsmouth and across the bay. » ——— Crimes Committed While Insane.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 27.—Guy Harris to- day was bound over to the Common Pleas Grand Jury at his own request, charged with the murder of Anna Snyder., When asked why he made the unusual request ke answered that he would rather take chances with the Grand Jury and also Fave his attorneys' expenses paid by the State than to withstand the crossfire of questions by detectives. Miss Snyder was found suffocated by pillows on Tuesday night and Harris was seen leaving the place. Harris accused a mysterious stranger of having committed the crime.
