4 QUEEN WILHELMINA FTJLLY INVESTED WITH ROYAL DIGNITIES A ROAR OF LOYAL CHEERS Greets the Girl Queen's Oath to Defend the Rights and Privileges of Netherlander Associated Press Special Wire. AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6.-The events of yesterday were but the overture for far more Important ceremonies today upon the occasion of the long-awaited enthroning of ..Qoeen Wllhelmina, who came of age or. August 31. The day began with a salute nf 101 guns and a majestic choral per formed by trumpeters from the crenelated tcwers cf the live great churches of Am sterdam. Crowds of people assembled early Ir. the morning and took up positions from which to view the royal precession to the Nou klrk. an edifice that. In spite of its name. Is 400 yours old. Hy 10 o'clock the dam platz presented a magnificent spectacle. The center was cleared ar.d the sides were densely thronged, the front places being reserved for the children cf the orphan ages. The multitude? were kept back by lines of troops of all arms. From the principal gate of the palace to the church between lines of naval cadets were stretched a gay awning decorated with streamers, and velvet carpeting was laid over the short distance which the Queen had to traverse. At 10:35 the princely families of Snxe- Welmar and Wlede drove to the church, escorted by cavalry, with bands playing, drums beating and the troops presenting urms. Almost Immediately afterwards, the Queen's mother appeared !r. a state coach, which was surmounted hy a Kilt royal crown upcn a crimson cushion. She re ceived an o\-at!on and was greeted with endless cheering and cries of "Long live the Queen's mother!" About ten minutes later the beating of drums and the blare of trumpets signalled the fact that Queer WUhelmina had left the palace, and at that very moment the sun burst from the clouds In brilliancy, which was looked upcn as being a happy augury for the young sovereign. The procession was headed hy the "klng of-srrangemcnts," with the heratdsln thetr gorgeous antique costumes nnd bearing long trumpets adorned with pendant flags. But all the splendor cf the royal retinue was overlooked by the vast crowds of peo ple, whose eyes were turned upon tho central figure of this Imposing procession— the young Queen on foot amidst the peo ple, decked with all the emblems of royalty. At her head was a diadem of diamonds, crown-shaped. Her robe was of white silk with a long train, under n mantle of rich red velvet, on which the lions cf Nassau were displayed ln gold embroidery. The ".inntle was bordered with ermine. TBe swcrd of state was carried before the young Queen by a General. Her majesty carried herself with grace and fortitude, hut her blanched cheek« were evidence of the profound emotion fhspired by the greatness of the occasion. The jpw tls worn by the young Queen were part of those stolen In Brussels September 9, 1.129. Some of them were recovered by the police of New York a year later through Information which a Frenchman named Roumoge gave to the Dutch Minister at Washington. It Is impossible to accurately describe the acclamations which greeted the Queen. The roars of loyal cheers grew louder and more sustained as Her Majesty proceeded to the church, which In the meanwhile had been filled with brllllantly-robed ladies and uniformed civil and military authorities, naval officers and members of the diplo matic corps. The Interior of the church disclosed a magnificent wealth of drapery, banners, palms and flowers. In front of the chancel was a throne of gorgeous crim son and gold velvet, with crown, orb, scepter and sword occupying stools. On the right r,f the throne were members of the royal family, and on the left were the Indian princes from the Dutch possessions. As the procession of the Queen-mother entered the church, the assembly rose and remained standing. The Queen-mother wore a low-necked dress of light mnuve color, trimmed with lnce and covered with pearls. On her head' was a splendid tiara and on her breast were displayed the in signia of the Dutch orders. The maids of honor nnd the ladles in waiting were dressed In beautiful costumes, blazing with diamonds. They followed the Queen Mother, who took up v position on the left of the throne but who remained standing until the arrival of her daughter, the sovereign. Suddenly the king-of-arms from the por tal of the church heralded the arrival of Queen WUhelmina, who entered the build ing, escorted by i train of Generals, each bearing an emblazoned banner. The choir, which Included the greatest artists of Hi Hand, sang "WUhelmina Van Nassauwe." The Queen, lor king very well In her robes Ot state, bowed from side to side, as she passed on to tho thror.e and. reaching It, she turned and again bowed and took her seat. A moment later her majesty arose end. In a clear and perfect!}' calm voice, delivered her address as follow;.: The Queen's Speech "Oentlemen of the Statc-s General: Since the death of my ever lamented father and until I have completed my eighteenth year, the government lias been ln the hands of my mother. 1 have- now assumed the gov frnment. and 1 have Issued a proclamation to my people. "The hour has now arrived, when amid Ihe faithful s:ates general Snd Invoking the holy name of God., I shull pledge my self to the people of the Netherlands "to maintain thoir rights and privileges. On this date 1 draw more closely the- solemn tie existing between myself and my peo ple. The very ancient union of the Nether lands and of the House of Orange Is con firmed afresh. Beautiful is my tnsk. I am happy and grateful to be able to govern the Netherlands people, a nation small ln numbers but great In virtue ~f Us strength of character, i esteem it a privilege and a pleasant diuty to devote all mv strength to the prosperity and welfare of our father land. The House- or Orange can never yea, never d<. enough for the Netherlands.' I need your support and co-operation, and I am convinced you will lend me these In ord-er that we mny be able- to work to gether for the honor and prosperity of our Netherlands people. May this be the aim of our life andi may God bless you and my labors for the salvation of ihe father land." This first public utterance of the queen to her people was listened to with pro found emotion. Her articulation was so perfect that her clear voice penetrated to the farthest recess of the church. Takes the Oath Atter the address the queen sat for a few moments and then again*arose arid recited in clear tones the oath to iffJTaold the con stitution, defend 1 the Independence of the country, protect the liberty of hersubjects, using therefore all legal means, "as a gooS king should-" Long- Live the Queen The solemnity of the occasion, the ex ceptional circumstances, the youth and sex of the monarch and the deep sincerity with which she voiced her words so deeply Impressed all present, that some time olapsed before the effect passed off, and there were few eyes which were not dimmed with tears. After a few moments of silence, however, a great shout of "Long live the Queen!" broke out and was | repeated three times. The heralds proclaimed her majesty's In vestiture, and soon afterward the queen left the church, her mother following her, and returned to the palace. As the queen and her mother pnssed on their way to the palace there were renewed acclamations from the people, nr.d when their majesties entered the palace four her alds stepped out on the balcony. Their ap pearance stilled the concourse Into a dead silence, which was broken by a trumpet peal, followed by the voice of the senior herald, announcing that Queen WllhVm ina had beer. Invested queen of the Nether lands. While the saluting guns which greeted the proclamation were still boom ing, the young queen, wearing the regalia, appeared and wns welcomed by a mighty rnnr of sound. She made a beautiful pic ture. When her mother followed, the two • Mod hand ln hand, bowing to the upturned faces of their hosts of subjects. Scenes at Night There are general Illuminations through out the city tonight on n magnificent scale. The queen and the queen's mother drove together In nn open carriage to view the scene and met with an enthusiastic recep tion. The day passed off wlthc,uT>any un toward Incident of any kind. At the banquet at the palace this evening, which was attended by the states general, Queen WUhelmina proposed this toast: "My heart urges me to give expression to the wishes which are filling my soul for 'he welfare of my country and people.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1898 HEALTH DEPARTMENT THE FREEHOLDERS ADOPT THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT) THE MEETING LAST NIGHT Chief of Police to Be a Member of the Board and All Officers to Be Sanitary Inspectors The board of freeholders met last evening to continue their tusk of making a new set of laws for the city. Those present were President I.cc, Messrs. Garland, Stephens, Varlel. Da visson, Newmark, Morgan. Cohn, Groff, Ornff, Crutcher, Millard and Hasard. The first matter considered was the pre sentation of th* report of the health com mittee by Dr. Davlsson. the chairman. The report provides for a board of health of five members to be appointed b> the mayor, to consist of licensed physi cians of the state having been such for five years and residents of the city. The chief of police Is made ex-offtcio a member of the board. The members are to serve without compensation and shall hoid office for five years, rotating so that a new one shall be appointed each year. The board shall have the appointing of a health officer, who shall have been a prac titioner for seven years and a resident for flve years. The amount of his salary was left to be decided when all salaries of city ifflclals shall be fixed. In addition to the duties now pertaining to the office, th* health officer Is given charge of the sanita tion of the school buildings. ' Mr. Graff made the point that the words "he or she" were superfluous; that In law the pronoun "he" included all shes and Its; therefore the clauses of the report where such references to the fair sex were made, as' "he or she shall report" cases of con tagious diseases, that the masculine pro noun was alone needed. His motion ca- rled though some of the ladles present looked askance at Mr. Graff for having taken this point of view. The health officer is given full power to take charge of all cases of dreaded con tagious diseases, and to designate their location by quarantine flags. These dis eases are smallpox. Asiatic cholera, yellow fever, typhus, diphtheria and scarlet fever. The board of health is given the ap pointment of the city physician, who shall act as police surgeon and may appoint phy sicians and nurses for city hospitals. Judge Stephens suggested that the posi tions of nurses and physicians for city hos pitals should be under the civil service rules, but the doctor showed that ln case of invasions of exotic diseases the selection of aids should be left to the members of the board, who at such times should have the power to select men the best adapted for the work. Stringent provisions are made ln detail for the caro of infectious and contagious diseases, quarantining of patients and the like. The usual regulations for physicians or mldwlves reporting births are made and the Interring and disinterring of bodies are subjected to restrictions. All police ofTlcers by the report are made ex-oftlclo sanitary inspectors. The board Is also given the power of Inspecting mar kets, dairies and all products offered for sale for food. Including milk. meat, fish, bread, butter, lard, cheese, fruits and veg etables. This last clause caused quite a squabble, as Mr. Crutcher and Mayor Hazard wished It stricken out on the ground that It gave the board legislative powers. Judge Vorlel held strongly to the point that the hoard should have full control of Inspection and condemnation of Improper food products. The discussion was lively and hung on the question of conferring power on the board that belonged to the council. Mr. Crutcher suggested that a motion giving the board full power to make all appointments to carry out the provisions made by the coun cil would meet the requirements, but finally Mr. Grnff moved that the whole mat ter be referred back to the committee for reconstruction, which was ordered. Mr. Varlel of the Judiciary committee re ported concerning the question of having a clause In the charter permitting surety companies to furnish bonds of offlcinls. He showed that the code of civil procedure of the state authorized such bonds provided hy surety companies. The committee rec ommended that a clause be Inserted 'n the charter providing for such bonds, nnd this was adopted. Mr. Varlel stated that his committee was not prepared to report on the police de partment. He had, with Mr. CrutchiT and other members of the committee, made much Investigation of the validity and power of police courts, and he was Inclined to recommend that the board should not In sert any clause In the charter creating po lice courts. Mr. Varlel gave a detailed statement of the legal status of the polite court question. He concluded after a sum ming tip of the law that It would be best to leave this question to the action of the legislature, as the present laws will soon be amended and changed so as to make present action dangerous. Tt was later as certained that the original report of the Judiciary committee. Including the question of police courts, had been adoptetd finally. It wns then moved to adjourn until Fri day evening.

WAS NOT HIS HORSE Anxiety for His Equine Landed a Los Angeles Man in Jail SAN BERNARDINO, Spet. 6—A scene that drew a crowd of spectators on D street Just about 5 oclock last evening; was a boy In a light wagon running his horse up the street, with a man running after him and another man chasing the former, and when he overtook him knocking him down a couple of times. The man who ap peared to be the aggressor was Smith Halle, a merchant at the corner of D and Court streets; the other man was a ped dler of hams and "slch" from Los Angeles, ard the boy wns Halle's son, going to put up his horse. The city marshal came up and arrested the Los Angeles man, who gave the name of John Doe, booking him as drunk, when his partner arrived and put up ball for his appearance and explained the trouble. The two had a span of horses In a pasture near town and seeing the boy driving down Third street, Doe thought It was his horse and attempted to seize It, but the boy got away and drove to his father's store where the man Insisted It was his horse. As Halle had owned It for several years this story did not work, hence the fracas. The water pollution up Lytle creek Is apt to get Into the courts, as J. C. Christy claims that he will not stop his hydraulic mining as his claim to the water Is over a quarter of a century older than that of the city.

The sheriff's office was appealed to for aid, but not until late in the after noon and by the greatest diplomacy was the maniac overpowered. Aaron Levy, an old soldier, 56 years of age, suffered from the delusion that people w< re trying to deprive him of his pension. He became violently Insane about noon yesterday and without any warning rushed into the yard, seised an ax and ran bock to the house yelling, "I'll kill you for trying to steal my pension." His wife saw that he was Insane and that he meditated the destruction probably of herself and the entire family. She rushed from the house, followed by the others. Levy start ed to pursue them, but returned to the house and barricaded the place. The screams of the flying family aroused the neighbors, and within a short time a crowd had gathered about the house for the purpose of taking Levy Into custody. He, however, had now armed himself with a revolver and together with the ax stood ready to defy a regiment of the peaceable Inhabitants of the foothill section. "I know who you are, I know what you want; but you shan't have It; you shan't have my pension," he screamed at them through the barricaded door. Several of the more daring ln the crowd started to ward the house, but when Lev)- suddenly opened wide the door and sprang out, flour ishing his revolver ln his right hand and his ax In the other, they abruptly halted as though facing a battery of rapid-fire guns, and retreated precipitously to equally scared companions. "It's no use; he's got the drop on os,"' they exclaimed. Then a parley was sug gested. A couple of volunteers started to ward the house and with honeyed words endeavored to soothe the madman. Levy replied by discharging his revolver. For tunately the bullets hit nothing. His sally effectually put a stop to further descents on the little cottage which for the time being had been converted Irrto a block house. Men, women and children hung about the vicinity of the place, attracted by the fascination of a dangerous lunntlc. No one would venture near him, although va rious plane for capturing the fellow were suggested. Finally the sheriff's office was communi cated with. Deputy Sheriff John Harnhil! can manage an Insane person as easily as a cat can handle a rat. so he was dispatched Immediately. When Barnhlll reuchel Sierra Madre he found the community in a terri ble state of excitement and apprehension. His coming was received with as much de light as that of an American commissary by the Cuban army. Directing several of the most daring and strongest men to fol low him, Barnhlll approached the cottng' by a different route from that taken by the former attacks, and by stealth succeeded In reaching the front door. Then began the game of parley. At first the madman was obdurnte." and bent upon murder, but Barnhlll, with assuring words, told him that he was a friend who had come to save lilm from the crowds of enemies, and asked that he be admitted Immediately ln order that '.hey could prepare to repulse the crowd who were preparing to storm the place. Without suspecting the purpose of Barn hlll. and delighted with the arrival of re- inforcements, the madman removed the barricade and opened the door. Barnhlll sprang upon him, knocked the pistol from his hand and grappled wwlth him until the men on the outside could rush up and help to overpower the madman. Levy fought and raged like a tiger and It was the work of several minutes to bind him securely. Then with the aid of several men Barnhlll took his prisoner to the railroad station and brought him to the city without fur ther trouble. Levy was taken to the county hospital, where he will be kept pending his Improve ment or until an Insanity commission shn'.l have determined what shall be done with htm.

The apathy shown by many Republicans toward Mr. Waters and his candldaey Is troubling the Newberry push, and the faot that MeLachlan was turned down or forced out by means which would hardly escape severe criticism If publicly known, has cast a somber shadow across the path of Mr. Waters. The Democrat* ln this county who op posed Mr. Barlow's renomlnntlon. and who were bitterly disappointed by the proceed ings ot Warden's snap convention at Sac ramento, are gradually falling Into line. Mr. Barlow's good record In congress has had much to do with this change of senti ment toward him. and. since there Is noth ing in Mr. Waters that will Inspire a Dem ocrat to vote for him, and since there is much to the contrary, th* prospects for the election of Barlow are tolerably fair. The truth is. the more Mr. Waters It dis cussed the more votes Mr. Barlow will re ceive from all parties. © © o The tasionlst* of San Diego ccunty have nominated R. A.

"LAWTON, Commanding. ••. / '.. ■: , .j- •>v 1 WORK ON THE SCALE HOBTICULTTTRAL COUMTBSTOTTa REPORS v Another Campaign Opened on the En*. mle* of the Citrus Industry of th* County SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 5.-The re port of the horticultural commission for August has been handed in to the board of supervisors, and shows the total ex pense of the month In this line to 0* 11934.02, with cash received, 112.60. Th* former Is divided into salaries for commis sion, 1178; salaries for Inspectors, 3246; chemicals, 3729.75; additions to plant ln th* way ot new tents, 3478.02; miscellaneous ex pense, 3303.26. ll Is a singular factj not generally known, that while the commis sioners can draw a daily pay of st when actually employed, the Inspectors can draw 32.60 per day all the time, whether at work or not, until permanently discharged. The report states: "The month of August being devoled principally to the prepara tion for extensive fumigation, la naturally one of the most expensive ot the year. In addition to the amount expended for new tents there was an expense of 3256 for cloth and thread for repairing the 120 old ten'.s, one month's labor for three men ln patching, mineral paint, glue barrels, ex pense of hauling cactus and preparing It tor use snd expense of painting tents, new derricks, steel pulleys, box covers for cyanide, extra carboys, hardware, etc. This leaves 3470.25 as the expense of the horti cultural commission for the month. 'Tour outfits have commenced work ana one more will commence as soon as the new tents are painted and hooped. About 1100 acres have been booked for fumigation aa a direct result of the quality of our laat season's work. One year ago at the com* mer.cement of the last season there was not one acre booked for fumigation, as people were very loath to try what they, considered an experiment. "A limited number of trees have beta fumigated for aspldlotus aurantll, or red scale, and aspldlotus cltrlnus. or yellow scale, and the usual number of colonies et vedalla cardlnalls supplied for leery*) purchasl, or white scale. "Our Held outflt for fumigation,with eactt set of bell tents, consists of thirty tents, on* foreman, three helpers, table, caae ot cyanide with cover, lock and chain, cae boy of sulphuric acid and rocker, two graduates, one for acid and one tor water; pitcher, set of scsles, lantern, tray* and oups for cyanide, trays for vessels snd forty-five vessels. This latter allows for fifteen vessels always at table to bo charged, and enables the msn to shift tß* tents ever}- forty minute* snd yet leave the tents over the tr.es the full forty min utes. This does sway with the loss ot about twenty minutes under the old sys tem at each change of tents. "To sum up the situation, we claim, first, that It Is necessary to have fumigation done under n common law that compels tha occasional ranchero to clean up his or* chord and not to breed scale to relnfett the trees of the thorough orchardlst, who spends his money that he may have clean and profitable fruit; second, that the work cf fumigation be systematically done, to the end that all may be done alike and by right methods, killing practically all scale cf whatever kind that may Infest the tree*, and without Injury to fruit or foliage. We lr.vlte thorough Investigation. "S. A. PEASE, Chairman." ABBOT KINNEY'S SUIT It Embarrasses the Soldiers at ths Home SOLDIERS' HOME, Sept. 6.—Everyone at the home is discussing the question raised by Abbot Kinney. One phase of it I wish particularly to call attention to. Messrs. Denman, Groff, LadU De Haven and Shin gle having been specially made defend* ants In tbe coming suit, many of their comrades at the home consider them as participants In the case, not realising that their names were placed as defendants by Mr. Klnnsy without their knowledge from the fact of their occupying the positions of Democratic county committeemen for precincts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the home. Governor Smith took occasion yesterday, the sth Inst., on the assembling of tha members for dinner to Inform the veterane of the fact that Mr. Flint, United States district attorney, and Mr. Newlln, th* county clerk, were at the home andi would udKiiress the members, giving their views on the matter, from the front of Company F at 1:30 p. m. Yesterday, ln addition to the visit of Mr. Flint and Newlln, the home was favored by a call from Captain McComas, A. H.

Long and throat affections, which are often simply the result of impaired nutri tion, are reached and cured by this wonder ful ''Discovery" in cases where cod liver oil emulsions ore itsdess, because tbe "Dis covery" is readily assimilated by delicate stomachs. It is far superior to malt ex tracts, because its beneficial effects am permanent. "Dr. Pierce, I am one of your mast' graterel patients," writes Mrs. Annie M. Normto. of Squinuak, Wayne Co., Pa. "I have taken ■Golden Medical Discovery,' also 'Favorite Pro scription' and 'Pellets' with wonderful results. Tim, as many of my friends tell me, like the dead brought to life. The doctors said I bad consumption and death was only a matter of time. That was six years ago. I concluded to try your medicine. I continued until I had taken nine bottles of ' Discovery • and several bottles of ' Pellets.' I got well and have done a great deal of hard work since."
