How the Sacred, if Lonely, Precinct Was Invaded by an American. An American attending a wedding reception in a great house in London congratulated bride and bridegroom and passed the usual compliments with the host and hostess. There was a great throng of guests, and he could not linger at the entrance of the drawing room when there were many behind him anxious to offer their greetings. Perceiving a quiet corner to the right of the bride where a gentleman and a lady were standing apart from the other guests he went directly to it, unwittingly coming to a stop between two royal personages. The American was not aware of the fact that he was face to face with one of the queen's daughters and had turned his back upon another member of the royal family. He stood quietly looking about, hoping to see some acquaintance in the company with whom he might have a chat, and soon became uncomfortably conscious that he was attracting attention and that the hostess and bride were casting uneasy glances in the direction of the corner where he had taken shelter. While the drawing room was crowded, the company of guests with one consent avoided the secluded corner where he and his two royal companions were stationed. An acquaintance in the background perceived his mistake, and coming within halling distance motioned to him. He left his two companions in exclusive occupation of the corner, turning his back upon both as he edged his way through the throng, while everybody stared at him. When he reached the spot where his acquaintance was waiting for him, the stage whisper was breathed into his ear: "You have been poaching on royal preserves. You are a privileged character because you are an American, but no Englishman ventures to turn his back upon a prince or a princess. People were..." PETER SYRE, PROP. FRESH BREAD, Pies and Cake.

Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Price, 59 cents. An acquaintance in the background perceived his mistake, and coming within hailing distance motioned to him. He left his two companions in exclusive occupation of the corner, turning his back upon both as he edged his way through the throng, while everybody stared at him. When he reached the spot where his acquaintance was waiting for him, the stage whisper was breathed into his ear: "You have been poaching on royal preserves. You are a privileged character because you are an American, but no Englishman ventures to turn his back upon a prince or a princess. People were staring you out of countenance because they took it for granted that you must be a royal personage, yet they were unable to identify you." The answer might have been made that every American is a sovereign by the divine right of equality of free citizenship, but this would have been a meaningless pleasantry in an English drawing room, where social etiquette has a sanctity superior to loyalty to democratic principle. The American thanked his friend for rescuing him from an embarrassing position, and then stood by and watched the corner where royalty was isolated from too close contact with the world of wealth and fashion. No guest approached the royal pair. Their presence was an act of condescension to the host and hostess, and they remained on exhibition as the patrons of this social function without having their corner invaded. Everybody was careful not to approach them too closely, and there was a general sense of relief when they departed and the necessity for backing away from them on side tracks was removed.—Youth's Companion.

Two Amphibians at Large in the san Joaquin—They Kill a Calf. STOCKTON, Cal., April 26.—The inhabitants of Roberts Island are becoming greatly alarmed over the report that two young alligators belonging to Jules Dixon have escaped from the inclosure in which he kept them. The gators were but a few inches in length when they were received from the South by Mr. Dixon, but they have grown considerably since, and the last time he saw them they were nearly six feet long. A pond, around which was a suitable fence, was constructed to hold the amphibians, but about a week ago they managed to escape by knocking out a couple of pickets with their powerful tails. A close search was instituted for the escapes at once, and it has been in progress for several days. They have been seen several times by different persons, but all attempts to capture them have failed thus far. A few evenings ago a negro who was working on one of the ranches, while allowing the and its environs were the theater of several engagements between Perseus and the Romans. As that war drew to a close the Roman legions more than once went into winter quarters at Larissa. Leake, who visited the place some years ago, speaks of the people as being fanatical, ignorant and slothful; each Greek family purchases the protection of a powerful Turk. Some ten miles northwest of Larissa is the town of Turnavo; the two towns are connected by a fair highroad, over which the Greeks will probably advance if they move on Elassona; the river Titaresias, which was navigable in Homer's time, is now a dry arroyo. Across the plain of Larissa are the heights of Elassona, on which the Turks are encamped. The most important building here used to be the monastery, which is said to have been built by the Emperor Andronicus, and towers above the town below. Nothing is left of it now but a few fragments of walls and large rough stones without any accurately hewn stones in the ancient style. There is a church still, tenanted by some moorthe town itself live about 400 families, three-fourths of whom are Greeks. It backs up against Mount Olympus, from which it is divided by rugged ravines. Through one of them the Consul Q. M. Philippus turned the pass of Tempe and reached the Macedonian coast in the last year of the Macedonian war. Turnavo is almost wholly Greek, only seventy of its 1500 families being Turkish. It used to be a great manufacturing center, its chief product being the mixed cotton and silk cloth which the Turkish women wear, but most of the looms are now idle. It is full of great stones, which formerly formed part of ancient edifices; now and then fragments of sculpture are found which evidently belong to a primitive period of Greek art. BARON SAILS AWAY.

Leaves Halifax Clandestinely to Cateh an Out-Going Cuanorder—Occupies the Best Berth and Enjoys Luxury. HALIFAX (N.S.), April 24.—“Baron” Robert Ludwig von Turkheim, Miss Jeanine Young, “Little Del,” Mrs. Richardson and the Baroness’ brother, Dr. John Young of Boston, sailed for Europe to-day on the Oxnard Mongolian, occupying the best staterooms on the ship and surrounded with every luxury. The departure was not without incident. At one time the “Baron” feared he would be arrested as he stepped on shipboard, and took great pains to frustrate what he thought was a scheme of his deserted wife to take him back to San Francisco under guard. The steamer did not sail until 3:30 this afternoon, but at 10 this morning Mrs. Richardson and “Little Del” were driven from the Halifax Hotel to the wharf and went on board. They found Detective Power of Halifax there, apparently looking for some one. It happened that he was watching for an absconder from Toronto, but Mrs. Richardson thought she smelled a warrant for the “Baron” and immediately notified Detective Stillwell. The detective shared in the suspicion and hastened to warn the “Baron” and Miss Young. A hasty consultation, in which “brother” John took part, followed and it was decided to make arrangements with the steamship’s agents to have the Mongolian slow up outside the harbor. This plan met with the approval of the Cuanard agents and when the Captain of the Mongolian left port he had orders to stop at Camperdown, a military outpost ten miles from the city. Three quarters of an hour before the steamer sailed a small tugboat put out from Corbitt’s wharf some distance from the steamer wharf. On it were the “Baron,” his “wife”, Stillwell and Dr. Young. The Examiner correspondent put himself in communication with the signal station at Camperdown by the courtesy of the commander here and was informed at 4:10 that the tug had placed several persons on board the steamer. When the tug returned at 6 o’clock only Stillwell came on shore. He entered a hack, but did not go to the hotel. He has purchased a ticket to return to San Francisco via Yarmouth and Boston on Monday. Stillwell made himself very popular among the hotel employees and cab drivers by use of money and kept the local newspaper men on the jump to keep track of the “Baronial” party. He at first said he would not be responsible for Dr. Young’s bill at the Halifax, but he changed his mind when the proprietor informed him that Young would be arrested if the bill was not settled. Stillwell not only paid Dr. Young’s expenses, but those of the entire party which would look as if he was the disbursing agent of the outfit. The police officials here do not think the “Barron” will go all the way across with his party, but that he will desert The outcome of an article by Clemenceau in the Echo de Paris was a duel with swords between that get-together that the eastern squadron bombarded Dedeagach. It is known that the Turks yesterday ordered all the lanterns in the light house on the Gulf of Salonia should remain unlighted. Five ironclads and four torpedo boats are operating along coast between Platomonia and Katania. The British and French subject residing at Yolo have addressed their respective envoys here, begging for the dispatch of warships to Yolo protect them. “What business,” said the writer “had the prefect of Paris or any high personage to prevent her from going.” Maintenance in the background is mistake, and coming with distance motioned to him.

The Chino Valley Beet Sugar Co., it is reported, is organizing within its own membership a new company to be called the Oxnard Construction Company. Henry T. Oxnard will be president; James G. Hamilton, vice-president; Bayard Cutting, treasurer; S. D. Schenkek, secretary; Wilhelm Baur, chief executive officer and consulting engineer. The main office is in New York. The organization of this construction company, together with the fact that the company's draughtsman has been called East for new work, and that the company is thoroughly investigating the agricultural conditions of at least two sections, points strongly to one or more new sugar factories being built soon by this company. We predict that inside of ten months it will be erecting a factory either at Hueneme, in Ventura county, or at Roswell, N. M. CITIES OF MACEDONIA. Ancient Places Around Which the War's Raging in the East. Larissa, which is now occupied by the Greeks as an advance post, is on the river known to the ancients as Penes, and which is there crossed by a bridge of nine arches. It stands in the lowest part of the Larisean plain, and is very hot in summer; but the soil adjacentia a light, rich mold, which is highly productive. There are about 4000 Turkish families in the place and about 400 Greek and as many Jewish households. The circumference of the city is less than three miles, the longest side being on the river, faced on the opposite bank by elms and poplars. The farms surrounding the town are owned by the Turks, but generally cultivated by Christian farm laborers on shares. Disputes between landlord and tenant rarely arise, because before the Cadi it takes three Christian witnesses to offset one Moslem witness, and complaints of the farm laborers are generally dismissed for lack of evidence. Some of the slopes of Mount Olympus are farmed by Turks in person, the Greeks having abandoned the country. Fifteen miles or thereabout from Larissa is Fersala, the ancient Pharsalia, the scene of Caesar's famous victory. Larissa figured in the Persic war. It was besieged by Antiochus in B.C. 191, "Although Spreckels has sold an interest in his factory at Watsonville to the Sugar Trust, I do not think that the corporation will secure control of the beet-sugar production on the coast. The Chino factory has not been sold, nor even an offer for any of its stock received by myself or any of the stockholders." Henry T. Oxnard, president of the Chino factory, so stated his position in Washington on Saturday, after reading an interview with Spreckels printed Return to San Francisco via Yarmouth and Boston on Monday. Stillwell made himself very popular among the hotel employees and cab drivers by the use of money and kept the local newspaper men on the jump to keep track of the "Baronial" party. He at first said he would not be responsible for Dr. Young's bill at the Halifax, but he changed his mind when the proprietor informed him that Young would be arrested if the bill was not settled. Stilwell not only paid Dr. Young's expenses, but those of the entire party which would look as if he was the disbursing agent of the outfit. The police officials here do not think the "Baron" will go all the way across with his party, but that he will desert them at St. Johns, Newfoundland, at which point the steamer touches. Should the "Baroness" get wind of this, they say she may cause serious trouble. In fact, they even hint that a tragedy is not improbable in such an event. What will happen when the party lands on the other side and brother John finds that he, too, has been duped, it is hard to tell, but if his determined looks amount to anything, and if the "Baron" is still in the company, it is predicted that nothing short of a duel will result. Assemblyman John Cross had a chase man who he believed had robbed him. He charged him with the theft. The fellow denied the charge, but Cross insisted. Then the stranger pleaded that if permitted to talk to his wife in a Hill-street lodging-house, he would procure the diamond from a confederate. Cross consented, remaining downstairs while the thief went upstairs. The latter sought to escape from a rear exit and Mrs. Cross saw him. She raised an alarm and Cross started in pursuit. He followed the thief on and off a traction car and finally caught up with him. He recovered his diamond once more, and now that the Flesta is over may be presumed to have it for keeps. "Although Spreckels has sold an interest in his factory at Watsonville to the Sugar Trust, I do not think that the corporation will secure control of the beet-sugar production on the coast. The Chino factory has not been sold, nor even an offer for any of its stock received by myself or any of the stockholders." Henry T. Oxnard, president of the Chino factory, so stated his position in Washington on Saturday, after reading an interview with Spreckels printed Both men were wounded simply taneously. Clemenceau receiving a gash in the right arm and the Princes slight scratch on the shoulder. Clemenceau's article in the Echo characterized the interference with the right; the Princes de Chimay to appear at the Folies Bergere as shameful. The writer said her fortune was entirely spent before she was divorced, and that £60 per night for which she had been engaged would help to keep her more merely from descending to a low level, but also provide clothes for her and other comforts of life. “What business,” said the writer “had the prefect of Paris or any high personage to prevent her from going upon the stage of the Folies Bergere.” What was the honor of the Chimay family.to them? The Prince de Chimay sent a challenge to M. Clemenceau by Solbrinka well-known fencing-master, and M.de Berda. M. Clemenceau's second wife M.George Perin and M.Ranier The Prince de Chimay refused to allow the matter to be referred to arbitrory and insisted upon an apology or duel. M.Clemenceau declined to apologize. The Prince de Chimay chose swords and the fight was very live;the Prince de Chimay ripping a sever wound in the shoulder of his antagonist between great pectoral musculature and the delloid. The flesh was torn on the point of the sword, but no serious consequences are expected by surgeons. The Princess de Chimay is pictorially represented all over Paris in post-plastiques, in every variety of dress and undress. Crowds gather around the pictures. A suit of the State of Indiana against Vandalia Railroad to recover money due to the school fund under old charter has been filed charging that a sum in excess of $2,000,000 due. It is alleged that the company wrongfully withdrew from time to time large sums of money out of the earnings over and above what was reasonable necessary as a contingent fund to pay subsequent expenses in violation of this charter; investing these sums in United States bonds; stocks and bonds of other roads; in city bonds and in purchasing its own stocks from individual holders amounting in the aggregate to $2,000,000.

SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS An order has been received by Superintendent Daggett of the San Francisco mint, from the Director of the Mint at Washington, for the coinage of 800,000 silver dollars. Through the influence of Senator Perkins a weather forecast station will soon be established at Los Angeles. This has long been desired by the citrus fruit growers and other horticulturists of Southern California. Harold M. Sewell of Maine has been selected for Minister to Hawaii. He gained prominence during the last campaign by reason of his advocacy of the Republican ticket and platform, although his father was the Democratic candidate for Vice-President. The infant daughter of John F. Buckley of Des Moines, Iowa, was accidentally hanged by her bonnet strings catching on the limb of a tree. The little girl was about 5 years old, and slipped when climbing on a small cherry tree and the strings caught on a projecting twig. Powell Clayton, the newly appointed Minister to Mexico, has been tendered the position of arbitrator in the Guatemala-Mexico contention. Both governments have all the data prepared and a decision can soon be reached. Clayton will receive $50,000 in silver for his services. Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley, mother of the President, celebrated her eighty-eighth birthday at her home in Canton, Ohio, one day last week. She is in excellent health, barring slight attacks of rheumatism. All day letters and telegraphs of congratulation were received by her from friends, and in many instances from strangers. A Puerto Principe dispatch brings news of a fight which lasted ten days between the Spanish columns of Colonel Riza and Cruce Gonzales, and several bands of Cuban insurgents, numbering 2000 men, which resulted after a series of skirmishes, in a great victory for the patriots, the Spaniards. week past she had had nothing to eat. Unable to obtain work she declined to appeal to her friends for assistance. She remained alone in her room until reason was dethroned. Then she fed to the Oakland hills to escape from the medical students. The Lunacy Commissioners declare that the cause of the woman's trouble was starvation. They ordered that she be temporarily housed in the County Jail and well fed. News received from Hongkong by steamer contradicts the reports from Madrid that the Philippine rebellion is practically stamped out. On the contrary, two important engagements have been fought recently, in both of which the insurgents were victorious. The Spanish force was badly defeated and forced to retreat in confusion. The rebel forces are reported to have been 8000 strong. The royalist troops lost over 200 men, and the insurgents thirty. Harold M. Sewall, whom President McKinley has named for Minister to Hawaii, entered the foreign service of the Government as a Democrat. He was Consul-General at Apia when the Samoan troubles broke out, but his course was too vigorous to please Secretary Bavard, and his dismissal followed. When Blaine came-in as Secretary of State in 1889 he reappointed young Sewall and made him a Republican. The new Minister was in Hawali shortly after the revolution of 1893 and was concerned with William Shaw Bowen, a visiting press correspondent, in an abortive attempt to settle the difficulties that arose between the Provisional Government and the ex-Queen—an act which led Secretary Gresham to rebuke both in an official letter.

Tedford, a brother of the Santa Ana Tedfords, was awarded $15,000 damages by a Los Angeles jury last week as a result of injuries sustained while in the employ of the Los Angeles Electric company.

A Puerto Principe dispatch brings news of a fight which lasted ten days between the Spanish columns of Colonel Riza and Cruce Gonzales, and several bands of Cuban insurgents, numbering 200 men, which resulted, after a series of skirmishes, in a great victory for the patriots, the Spaniards losing 800 men. Gen. Miles has applied for and been granted permission to go to Greece to observe the war between that country and Turkey from a military point of view. It is the first time in history that the general commanding the army has gone abroad during actual war as a military attack. It is true that Gen.

At Nugget Gulch, near Garlock, on Friday, three brothers, Ben, John and William Higgins, quarreled when Ben shot John, killing him instantly, and then turned the gun upon himself and with a wild cry of defiance blew out his own brains, falling dead upon the body of his brother. William reported the matter immediately, but refuses to tell what the quarrel was about. All were miners, and the quarrel is supposed to have arisen over a mining claim. Two hundred and fifty of the unemployed of San Francisco arrived in Stockton one morning recently by the steamers Dauntless and Mary Garratt. They went into camp while their leader, a man named Lefflingwell, went to the home of the Mayor and demanded help to get to Sacramento. They asked their car fare paid and provisions furnished. Another conference was held with the Mayor and the Chief of Police, and the officials decided to supply them with provisions to last them for two days, for which they promised to walk to Sacramento. The steamer City of Puebla, which arrived at Port Townsend, Wash., some days ago from San Francisco, had a peculiar experience while steaming along at a rapid rate about twenty miles off the coast. Of a sudden the heavens were darkened and in a few minutes thousands of humming-birds alighted on the boat. So hungry were they that they would try to extract honey from the boutonnaires worn by the passengers. Over three hundred were captured by the passengers and crew.

Then several rushed over to the prostrate man and endavord to assist him to the floor. There was no response to their efforts. He was dead.

Reports of the San Bernardino Horticultural Commission are to the effect that the army worm is making its appearance along the foothill region of that county and is doing great damage. It has attacked grape vines and apricot trees and appears to be more numerous than for years. It has commenced operations at Highland, Rialto, Grapeland and intervening places. An eighty-acre vineyard near Colton had every leaf stripped from the vines and seventy-five worms were picked from one vine. In Highland the worms are going up lemon trees in swarms. In an apricot orchard near Lytle creek the worms are eating the young fruit leaving nothing but the pit. Samples of the pest have been sent to Washington and an effort is making to stay the progress of the pest. Mary Koenig, not 7 years old, was the plaintiff in a damage suit in Chicago, growing out of a mistake made by a druggist in putting up a prescription ordered for her by which she lost the sight of one of her eyes. The girl through her father, Isaac Koenig, sued M. B. Spaatz, a druggist, for $25,000 damages therefor. On March 4, 1891, when the plaintiff was eight months old, her eyes were inflamed. A physician wrote a prescription calling for boracic acid and other ingredients. Carbolic acid is said to have been put in the medicine by mistake. When the lotion was applied to the child's eye the sight of one was destroyed. The other was saved by treatment at the hospital. Druggist Spaatz did not appear to defend the suit nor did he have an attorney in court. The evidence for the plaintiff was heard and the judge instructed the jury to assess judgment upon the defendant. The jury returned a verdict in the girl's favor for $1500. Mrs. Annie Mackin, a young widow residing in San Francisco, labors under the delusion that she is surrounded by medical students who are vivisecting her. She sees them working with their knives upon her writhing body. Starvation is the cause of the woman's mental infirmity. She was discharged as a sales-woman for a big firm last January. Her money was soon exhausted and then starved. For nearly a Portland, Or., received on the 15th of February last advices of Mrs. Marriott's father's death at Marietta, Ohio. Five nights later Miss Elsie, the oldest daughter, dreamed that her deceased grandfather appeared before her and giving her a map of his place instructed her where to dig and recover his buried cash. The following morning at the breakfast table the girl related her dream, and to the amazement of the others Mrs. Marriott stated that she had had a similar dream the preceding night, with the exception that her father told her none but Elsie should unearth his buried money. The Marriott were so influenced by the dreams that the daughter returned to Ohio the middle of last month, and she and her brother began an investigation. From time to time the Marriottts received letters from her, but none of them of a hopeful nature. Her parents were about to write to her to abandon her search for dreamland fortunes and return home, when on Sunday last intelligence reached them that her perseverance had been richly rewarded. She wrote that after she and her brother had plowed over twenty acres of ground the latter struck an old coal-oil can at a depth of two feet. It contained money and bonds to the amount of $17,000, of which $10,000 was in gold coin. The Marriott family started back for their old home immediately after hearing the good news. While King Humbert of Italy was driving to Campanelle racetrack Friday afternoon a man who pretended to present a petition to the King approached the carriage. As he reached the vehicle the man drew a dagger and made a lunge at the King, but the latter warded off the blow, and the dagger struck the cushion of the carriage. In an instant all was confusion. The King's escort charged upon the crowd, which, in the excitement, closed upon the royal carriage, while others of the King's guard seized the man who had attempted to take his Majesty's life and bore him off. The king was perfectly composed, and proceeded on the way and witnessed the races as though nothing had happened. The King's assailant proved to be Pietro Acciarita, aged 24, who is believed to be insane. He is a blacksmith and declares he has no connection with any political party. The King was repeatedly cheered upon his arrival at the races, and when he returned to the city he was greeted with a great popular ovation by the thousands who thronged the streets upon learning of the attempt to assassinate him. As King Humbert entered Naples November 17, 1878, the year of his ascension, a man named Giovanni Passanante approached the carriage and attempted to assassinate him with a dagger. The King escaped with a scratch, but Prime Minister Cairoll was badly wounded. Passanante was condemned to death, but the King commuted the punishment to imprisonment for life.
