SAN DIEGO, July 13.—The annual election of officers was the principal business transacted by the conclaves of the Lambda Theta Phi Sorority and the Pi Delta Kappa Fraternity to-day. The sorority officers chosen were: Grand president, Miss Alsa Bent, San Diego; grand secretary, Miss Genevieve Ston Santa Rosa; grand treasurer, Miss At the sorority this afternoon Fresno was selected as the place for the next meeting. The conclave will be held one week from next Christmas. Officers for the ensuing year were elected by the Grand Chapter of the Pi Delta Kappa ‘Fraternity as follows: President, P. H.

Within an hour 300 entries were made on the 260 valuable timber and homestead claims. The land is valuable and for soms time numbers of settlers have been llving on it without filing. These and scores of others got in line two hours before the land office opened s0 as to be able to enter their papers before other claimants. There were many ‘duplicate fllings made, but no trouble was experienced in handling the crowd. s | 11 | | was deputized to depose Balmaceda as i ADNIRAL MONTT 10 VISIT CITY Chile’s Former President and Famous Naval Fighter Is Coming on City of Para IWILL TOUR THE WORLD Commissioned to Go to the Far East and Europe to “Inspect Foreign Navies ——— RS Among the late arrivals at the Palace Hotel is Carlos von Buren, a banker of Valparaiso, who 1s also interested in various other large enterprises of Chile. | He has been sojourning in this country for several months for his health and came to San Francisco to meet Vice Ad- miral Jorge Montt, the idol of the Chil- ean people, who is coming here on the steamshlp City of Para, due in San Fran- cisco on Saturday. The Admiral, who dictator of Chile in 1891 and succeeded | the latter as President of the country, held his rank as vice admiral of the Chiiean fleet before he entered upon his duties as President, and resumed active service in the Navy Department of his country when his term of Presidency ex- pired in 1896. The admiral's present misslon abroad is to study the modern naval problems and conditions with a view of applying | them at home in a plan, now under way, | to reconstruct the Chilean navy. From here Montt and Banker von Buren will 89 to the Orient and later to England and | Italy. Few men in South America have gained the distinction of Montt and his- tory does not tell of a man who has been more deeply loved by i.s countrymen than the little admiral of Chile. It is generally understood among the people of Valparaiso that Montt’s present trip is mainly for the purpose of absenting himself from home during ‘the coming elections with a view of preventing his | re-nomination for the Presidency, a posi- | tion which he Uelieves he held long enough. “Although a small man in stature,” re- marked Banker von Buren yesterday, | while discussing his friend, ‘Admiral | Montt is a big maa among his people. He reminds us much of your President, Theodore Roosevelt, in that he is fear- less, forceful and honest. He has the | greatest contempt for rogues of all classes and they were his only enemies during his political reign. The admiral | shares with his countrymen the opinion | that our defenses need overhauling and he is coming north to see what improve- ments are necessary. The Chilean navy now consists of two iron clads and six cruisers, two of which are armored. What we need is a fleet of good iron | clads and the Government is anxious to | build new vessels. | “Since our war with Peru, which, as you know, resulted in our acquiring valu- | able possessions, among them the nitre | beds, that ~have greatly increased our | revenue, our Government has been mak- |ing wonderful progress and the future looks most bright to us, especially after the Panama Canal is opened. The new sea route will place us in closer com- munication with the commercial centers | of the world, an advantage that our com- | mercial rival in South America, Argen- | tina, now enjoys ek e RS, SAILOR WASHED OVERBOARD FROM STEAMSHIP DESPATCH Johan Johnson Loses His Life During Fierce Gale Off the Coast of Oregon. PORTLAND, July 13.—Seas swept over the steamship Despatch which reached Astoria this morning from San Francisco bound for Portland and washed Sailor Johan Johnson to a wa- tery grave off the Oregon coast. The foresail and stormsail were also carried away by what is said to have been the worst northwest gale of the season. The Despatch was more than five ays on the way. Sails for use in mergency were raised only to be torn away by the wind, carrying part of the rigging. Waves came sweeping overboard and one of these caught Johnson. —_———— WILL LOCATE WIRELESS STATIONS IN THE NORTH Two Naval Officers to Leave To-Morrow to Select Sites on the Pacific Coast. VALLEJO, July 13.—Captain Gear- ing, U. S. N, of the equipment depart- ment at Mare Island Navy Yard and Master Electrician George Hanscom will go north on Saturday to locate the remainder of the sites for the wireless telegraph stations on the Pacific Coast. A site will be selected either at Cape Flattery or Neah Bay and at Bremer- |ton. When completed there will be stations at a distance of 200 miles each from Bremerton on the north and Point Loma on the south. —_———— Coast Druggists Organize.

This is Horatio F. Brown, whose new book on Venice 1s about to be pub- lished in London. Probably no other author has had so many manuscripts destroyed by fire. The original draft of Brown'’s first and best known work,. “Life on the Lagoons,” perished in the blaze which destroyed the offices of its publisher, Kegan Paul, in 1883. The manuscript of his “Study in the Vene- tian Inquisition” was burned in a malil car in Switzerland two years later and a similar fate overtook both that of his “Calendar of Venetian State Pa- pers” at the fire at Spottiswoode's in 1892 and that of his “Studies in Arch- aeology.” The latter was consumed in the burning of Cecil Rhodes’ house, Rondesbosch, Cape Town, in 1895. Many more important manuscripts than Brown’s have perished by fire, witness that of the first volume of Carlyle's “French Revolution,” but such a series of disasters as his must be a record. The author's new book is intended as a companion to “Life on the Lagoons” and will be called “In and Around Ven- fee.” Robert Hichen’s next publication will be a volume of short stories, and it may be a year or more before his new novel makes its appearance. Admirers of De Musset, both in France and in this country, have been surprised by an announcement that the poet's former housekeeper and nurse is about to publish’ her recollections of him. Adele Colin, who served De Mus- set in these humble capacities, is now 90. Her reminiscences of her former employer should prove uncommonly in- teresting, for Mlle. Colin entered on her duties at a troublous period in the poet’s history. His family had just been broken up, owing to the marriage of a sister, and for the first time in his life De Musset found himself obliged to earn his daily bread. To make matters worse his health was wretched. He owed much to his new nurse, whose zeal and intelligence are praised by Paul de Musset in his biog- raphy of his brother. Mlle. Colin re- mained with the poet until his death, seven years later. in 1857. MEREDITH IN POOR HEALTH.

Three uncommonly rare books are to be sold at auction in London during July, and each is expected to fetch a high price. Taken in chronological order the 't of these is a fine and complete copy Caxton’s n thabbay /of Westmeynstre Only eight perfect coples of this work are known to be in existence. They have seldom appeared in the open market, and none have been sold since Caxtons be- gan to be sought by wealthy collectors. One was in the famous Bernard sale in 1686, when it realized the imposing sum of three shillings, or 75 cents. In 1823 a copy sold for $i55. The Gardner copy sold for $405 in 1854. What the present work may fetch can be guessed from the amounts realized a few years ago for the Earl of Ashburnham’'s imperfect copy. and another example, also imperfect. The first brought $1475, and the second $1300. The second of these rare books is a perfect copy of the first edition of Tyn- dale’s “Pentateuch,” the first edition of any part of the Old Testament in the English language, printed by Hans Luft, probably at Wittenberg, in 1530. So far as can be discovered, thus far only im- perfect copies of this work have passed through the salesrooms. In 1818 such a copy was sold at Saunders’ for $15, but in 1888 a made-up copy which lacked title page and the prologue to Genesis was disposed of in London for $1275. The third of these precious volumes is the Creede edition of “Richard III,” recently discov- ered in this country. Printed in 1605, it consists of forty-six leaves, and is ad- ditionally interesting from the fact that in five places a contemporary autograph of “Wm. Penn” was found, probably that of the celebrated admiral, father of the founder of Pennsylvania. It is some time since any work has ap- peared from the gifted pen of the author of “How to Be Happy Though Married,” the Rev. B. J. Hardy. Mr. Hardy is a chaplain in the British army and in that capacity has been stationed for some time in Chin: His new book will be called “John Chinaman at Home.” Mr, ‘Hardy is said to have found the Celestial full of sympathy and humor. » Apropos of the present examination season at Oxford a particularly good story of Oscar Wilde is being told. At his viva voce trial at Magdalen, Wilde was asked to tranSlate a page or two of the New Testament which the examiner suspected would puzzle him. Not so, however, for the future author opened the book and apparently without any difficuity began to translate the passage about St. Peter walking on the waters. “That will do nicely,” sald the examiner after a verse or two had been beauti- fully rendered. ' But Wilde ralsed ' a deprecating- finger. . “Hush!” he said, wish to see if the gentleman is drowned.” —_———— HEALDSBURG PROMOTION CLUB.

The Northern lodges opposed such a movement. The question was laid over. It) probably will come up at Denver next year. A resolution to affiliate with the Ca- nadian Order of Elks was defeated. It was voted to repeal. two rules| adopted at last year's meeting at Cin- cinnati, making the decision of the com- mittee on laws and the committee on grievance and appeals final. These rules left no right of appeal to the grand lodge and proved objectionable. The committee on parade prizes an- nounced its decisfons as follows: Best appearing lodge in parade, Toledo Lodge No.,53, first prize of $500; most unique uni- form, single prize $500, awarded to Cleve- land Lodge No. 18; greatest mileage, $500, El Paso Lodge No. 187; lodge accom- panied by the greatest number of ladles, $500, Bridgeport Lodge No. 157; lodge having greatest number in line, nearby lodges barred, $500, Erle, Pa., Lodge No. 67; lodge having greatest number of men in line, home lodges barred, Rochester ‘first, Lockport secord. —_————— ANOTHER BODY DISCOVERED IN THE SACRAMENTO RIVER REDDING, July 13.—Another body has been found in the Sacramento River at Redding.
