By doing so Lord Tredegar has acquired a claim to distinction that is almost unique and has shown a modesty that is more rare than the courage he displaved when he rade “into the jaws of death; intc the mouth of hell” with the Six Hundred at Balaklava. Bouth Wales takes a great pride in proposed to present him with a na- tional testimonial on the occasion of the anniversary of the gallant charge | which Tennyson has immortalized. But when it was suggested that it should take the form of his own effigy he protested He didn't want anything i that savored of self-giorification. When as Captain Godfrey Morgan he returned from the Crimea—and brought his famous charger “Sir Briggs" as himself—he entered Parllament and represented Brenock until the title de- scended to him in 1875, compelling him to join the Hohse of Lords. There he has since represented all Wales. A fine sportsman, a scientific agri- culturist, the kindliest of landiords— he owns 40,000 acres—and a generous contributor to wise philanthropy, he has greatly endeared himself to the Welsh folk. To the world at large he is known as the breeziest of charity bazaar openers, always sprightly and patriotic, but with perhaps an undue tendency to regard Welsh as the tongue of the angels. He is T4 years old and despite innumerable tempta- tions has remained a bachelor. For the last five years he has been - Lord Lieutenant of Monmouthshire and his seat in that county is a fine old red brick mansion designed by Inigo Jones and approached by a magnificent avenue of chestnut trees. His brother and h presumptive is 70 and a bene- dict with sons and grandsons to per- petuate the Morgan name and cherish the Morgan pedigree. This, it may be said, goes back to the dawn of time when the Morgans were Welsh kings. BALFOUR HIRES LANKEE EIPERT | ample of King and Engages Young American Chauffeur { el 5 D S to The Call | Special Dispat: LONDON, April 1.—Following King | | Edward’s example, the Prime Minister, A. J. Balfour, has just engaged an | American chauffeur. The latter's | | name is Walter Muhler and he comes i from Jersey City. Mubhler is 25 years | of age. He left the United States about Ithree months ago to visit his brother | in Berlin, who is in the German Em- peror's service as chauffeur. Learn- | ing that Muhler was at liberty, Balfour communicated with him recently and his engagement followed. ' Among | motormen here he is regarded as even a more expert driver than Oliver Stan- | [ ton, who pilots the King’s car. The Prime Minister is quite as much an enthusiast in motoring as he is in! golfing, so young Muhler will have |p]ent)‘ to do. It is said that it was | on the recommendation of the King | that the Prime Minister sought an American driver. He had tried men of various nationalities, but found them all wanting, or at least not up to the standard of his requirements. ek § Competing Teiephone Sold.

The sum real- ized, after paying costs, will pay less than 50 cents on the dollar on the bonds and the large list of unsecured creditors and the stockholders will get nothing.

Varied - Interests of -Yolo| DL Special Dispatch to The Call i DAVISVILLE, April 1.—Davisville | is awakened along lines promotional | as she has never been before. Her ! citizens are awake to the fact that a | great agricultural institution is to be established in California, to be lsnown ! and designated as the University Farm and for the use of the College of Agricuiture of the State of Califor- nia. They believe that Yolo is the f. vored county of this State go far a: location, soil and facilities are con- cerned and they are also convinced that of all of Yola County no section | can surpass Davisville. | With the idea of promoting the wel- | fare of Davisville and vicinity a massf | meeting was held Thursday afternoon. The meeting was called to or-]| der by B. B. Tuttle and the ; purposes set forth. J. E. La| Rue of Davistille was selected chair- | retary. A discussion of the feasibility of of- fering te for the agricultural farm followed and M. V. Sparks, a wealthy ! land-holder, offered a site for the farm. | A motion that a committee of seven be\ appointed to serve as a committee on location of the agricultural farm was unanimously adopted and the fol- lowing named were appointed: G. W. Pierce, chairman, with B. B. Tuttle, G. K. Swingle, O. B. Wilbur, Dr. W. E. Bates and the chairman and secre- | tary. A finance committee, as follows, was next appointed: P. P. Smith, M. V. Sparks and J. W. Anderson. A committee of five was also ap- pointed to study and report on the; feasibility of the forming at Davis- ville of a permanent organization that should have for its purpose the con- tinual promotion of the welfare of the town, possibly a Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce. It was the sense of the meeting that Davisville was not organizing for the pur- pose of fighting any other sec-| tion or sections of the coun- ty, but on the contrary it was hoped that all would be in accord for Yolo County and that each section offer its | site and that all sites be submitted to | the committee, ———————— Fat Folks. 1 reduced my weight 70 pounds, bust € Inches, walst 6 inches and hips 14 inches in a short time by a guaranteed harmless remedy without exercise or starving.

From a press clipping agency he receives cuttings of all his printed utterances. Another man for whom he had at | one time conceived a warm admira- | tion is Crooks’ labor colleague in the House, John Burns, the member for | Battersea. But Burns did not recip- rocate the feeling. He showed that very plainly on one occasion when Andrew Carnegie chanced to be visit- ing the House. Spying Battersea's representative standing among a group of members and rendered con- spicuous by lack of sartorial style, the millionaire advanced toward him. “Andrew Carnegie.,” he svid, “of- fers his hand to John Burns.’' “And John Burns,” was the chilling re- sponse, “refuses to take it"” It was probably the most embar- rassing experience that Carnegie had ever encountered. The fact is, Burns does not regard Carnegie as guiltless of the blood shed in the Homestead ' riots and took this opportunity of publicly showing it. ADVERTISEMENTS.
