Jacob Samuels of the Cheria
Kadusha Society Is
Missing.
FOOTPADS EXCITE CITIZENS.
George Campbell of Alameda Ter
ribly Injured by a
Train.
Jacob Samuels, Postmaster of Station D,
at Twenty-third avenue, East Oakland.
appears to have gone wrong. The police
are looking for him, armed with a warrant
charging him with misappropriating the
sum of $1 while acting as secretary of the
Chevr.x Kadusha, a Jewish benevolent
This is an innocent-looking charge on its
face, but it covers what the officers of the
lodge aver is a total shortage of nearly
$600 of the funds that passed through
Samuels' hands while acting as secretary.
ADe Davis, president of the lodge, is the
complaining witness. Accompanied by
Louis Asher, secretary, and S. Ringoldsky,
treasurer, he appeared before Prosecuting
Attorney Melvin yesterday afternoon and
produced the books of the society that are
said to prove the shortage. Davis ex
plained :
Most of the shortage was from money col
lected as dues. Samuels put the amounts down
In the ledger, but forgot— as he explains It — to
enter them in the cashbook. Not long ago the
lodge gave him $13 to have incorporation
papers made out. Well, the money went like
the rest, and no steps were taken toward incor
poration. When we called him before the
committee a few weeks ago he said, with a
good deal of contrition, that he would never
touch a card agai n as long as he lived.
lie has had the same kind of trouble in the
Odd Fellows and Foresters. He was once sec
retary of Court Pacific of the latter order. He
promised to try to pay back the money and we
gave him all possible chance. He has failed to
refund a dollar, and last night when we called
upon him at his home we found he had gone
and ihat no one could tell us where. Then we
thought it time to take this course.
Though the peculations are considerable
in the aggregate, no single shortage is for
a large enough amount to constitute a
felony charge, and for this reason but one
dollar, being the most recent shortage, was
chosen upon which to base the charge.
Inquiry at 97G East Twenty-fourth street,
where Samuels resides, developed the fact
that he had not been at home for three
days, and his family denied any knowledge
of his whereabouts.
His daughter was in attendance at the
little notion-store at 1137 East Fourteenth
street, which the absent secretary con
ducted as an adjunct to the branch post
office. . ...
"My father is at the springs for his
health.'' she said, when asked if her father
could be found, -and I don't know when
he will be back."
The Bicycle Tax.
\s a rule < fakland bicycle men are of the
{same opinion as the tsan Francisco wheel
men on the subject of taxing bicycles.
They are willing to pay a small yearly
license provided the revenue thus derived
shall be B] : improving the street
pavements and roads, (several of the clubs
have consid. : I the matter in their coun
cils and havf dec : p d not to oppose a mod
fite license,
t is tbe c; ,:nion of many, however, that
•ha liee 1 be illegal and could
t stand t:u test in the courts. "They
trieditin 1 - and failed," says R. J.
Iyer rig wheelman in this
y. "The Supreme Coaxt of Illinois de
ed that it was in the nature of a double
, and therefore illegal. However, all
wheelmen I have talked with are per
ly willine to pay a small tax if they can
some good out of it in the way of bet
pavenients. My own opinion is that
Ling short of a State tax would operate
yon bicycles. The difficulty is
ollecting a tax on wheels. How about
Qg wheelmen from across the bay? I
am satisfied the thing is xiot only illegal,
I impracticable, and will never pass the
Sow about the proposed ordinance
Ending the ordinance against lamps
. riding on pavements? I think that
inance is about right. The lamp is
needed, as much for the safety of the
rider as the pedestrian, but there ought to
be some limits placed on a policeman's
lack of intelligence who arrests tbe rider
while it is still daylight for not carrying a
lamp. Of course, the lamp ordinance
•works a hardship in many ways, and there
ought to be some latitude allowed in favor
oi the rider, for instance, who is belated,
having started out early in the day with
the intention of getting home before dark.
1 have known several riders who came up
from San Jose expecting to arrive here be
fore dark, and were arrested just as they
entered the City. Now that is not right,
and something ought to be done to pre
vent it."
Any one who thinks the bicycle ques
tion "is not a Jive issue on the Alameda
side of the bay should spend an hour or
two among the wheelmen or Oakland.
Talk a few" minutes with Fred Whitney,
the attorney, who is also a member of the
Reliance Club, for instance. He has
studied the license question, and knows
the sentiment of the wheelmen about it.
At a recent meeting of his club it was
decided not to oppose a small license fee,
say of $1 a year. But in return for this
tax the wheelmen will demand better
streets and roads.
"My own opinion is," says Mr. Whitney,
Bat such a tax would not only be uncon
utional, but impossible of collection,
wever, the wheelmen of this city have
decided not to oppose a small tax. I was
talking to Mr. Manuel, president of the
Council and the franier oi the resolution
now pending, about the matter, and he
expressed the opinion that a dollar tax
would amount to so little in the aggregate
that the wheelmen would not derive much
benefit from it in the matter of improved
streets. He thought the present ordi
nance—that is, the one now pending —
would be defeated.
"You see, not only bicycle men but the
owners of vehicles and carriages generally
are interested in this question, for ii a bi
cycle is to be licensed carriages and all
pleasure vehicles must also pay a special
tax. That is the plan, a3 I understand it.
Some of the Councilmen take the view—
which is correct, I think— that a tax on
bicycles would tend to discourage visiting
wheelmen, and, of course, we can t attora
to do that. And then, how would the tax
be collected ? The policeman finds a wheel
man without a tag on his bike. 'I am
from San Francisco.' says the wheel man;
or from San Jose, or any other place. How
are you going to prove it? \Yhat is to
prevent me from refusing to pay the
license and claiming that I reside in
another city? Yon might have all such
riders taken to-the City Hall and make
them prove their residence, but you can
see how foolish that would be. Wheelmen
would taboo Oakland. And then suppose
Berkeley and Hay-wards were to follow
suit and" impose municipal licenses on bi
cycles. A man would have to have his
whe.-l covered with tags to escape arrest^ ii
he dared ride outside the city limits. ]So;
the only possible way would be to impose
a State tax, and that would be of no avail
to the wheelmen, because they could derive
no benefits from it in the way of better
Etreets and roads."
Another Mian Sandbagged.
Another man, this time the father of^
police officer, has been sandbagged in the
main business portion of the town, and
the police are as far as ever from getting
eny trace of the bold footpads who are be
ginning to terrorize the entire community.
The latest victim is John A. Moore,
father of Officer William Moore. He was
assaulted on Ninth and Webster streets at
a iate hour on Monday evening. Mr.
Moore was walking up Ninth street on his
way home, when suddenly without warn
ing he was struck a terrible blow on the
side of the head which felled him to the
Though stunned by the force of the blow
he managed to regain his feet and turned
to grapple with his assailants, but the sud
den appearance of a pedestrian frightened
the would-be robbers and they ran down
Webster street and disappeared in the
shadows of the houses. The man who
drove the footpads from their prey assisted
Mr. Moore to his home at 1005 Webster,
where it was found that he had sustained
a painful bruise on the left side of his head
from the blow and a deep cut on the op
posite, side where his head struck the side
walk in falling.
His rescuer describes the footpads as be
ing young fellows of medium height,
dressed in dark clothes. He was unable to
get a look at their faces and could give no
accurate description of them.
The assault was so similar to those com
mitted on George Reed at Seventh and
Washington streets and young Begley at
Fourteenth and Webster that all three out
rages are believed to be the work of the
same eang, and much surprise . is mani
fested at the failure of the police to round
up the criminals. ..-..
--'Another attempted robbery was reported
from East Oakland yesterday, in which
three men answering somewhat to the de
scription of the robbers who looted Tag
gait's pharmacy took part. '.. ■
Their intended victim ■. had strength
enough to run after being assaulted and
thus escaped with his valuables.
To Widen Their Efforts.
At a meeting of the council for the sup
pression of the saloons, held in the Y. M.
C. A. building, the following reverend gen
tlemen were in attendance: Revs. William
Rader, E. S. Williams, M. Willett, H. H.
Rice, 0. Jones,. C. H. Hobart, W. H. Mc-
Dougal, E. C. Williams, Robert Wiand, A.
J. McMurtry, J. M. Alexander, Charles
Mayne, Robert Hunter and Mrs. Borland.
Rev. Mr. McDougall reported that the
Young Woman's Christian Association
and the Good Templars had passed resolu
tions signifying their desire to be repre
sented in the council. They were wel
comed. It was proposed to organize the
council on a more permanent basis, and as
one of the means to this end a motion was
adopted providing for a committee to act
in conference with delegates from the kin
dred organizations throughout the coun
try who are in sympathy with the move
ment. The Rev. H. H. Rice, Mrs. Bor
land and 0. H. Merritt were appointed as
the committee to work with the Rev. Mr.
McDougall.
The City Lost the rand.
Judge Greene decided the case of George
E. Grant vs. the City of Oakland in favor
of the plaintiff yesterday, and in conse
quence the municipality loses title and
property in East Oakland valued at $20,000.
The property lies on Third avenue, near
East Fifteenth street, and is 300 feet long
by 100 feet in width.
The city claimed possession on the
ground that the tract had been dedicated
as a public park, ano> on November 23,
1885, Grant began suit to enjoin the city
from forcibly ousting him.
Since the beginning of the action many
of the witnesses in the case have died or
moved away and the case has dragged
along until recently, when the matter was
taken up and the City Attorney made a
motion for a nonsuit. Judge Greene de
nied the motion and ordered judgment en
tered for the plaintiff.
Grant has paid the taxes on the property,
which has largely appreciated in value
since the action was begun.
Caught Under the Train.
George Campbell, an Alameda lad of 12
years, was the victim of a very painful ac
cident yesterday morning that resulted in
the amputation of both legs just below the
knees. Early yesterday morning he made an
attempt to board the train as it was puil
ing out of the Grand-street station. George
caught the car rail, but missed his footing.
In a twinkling he was shot, feet first, under
the car, where the wheels passed over both
legs above the ankles. The alarm was
given at once and the injured lad was
picked up in an unconscious condition.
Conductor Buchanan stemmed the flow of
blood from the wounds, and then the lad
was placed on the train and taken to the
foot of Broadway in Oakland and thence
to the Receiving Hospital. In order to
save the boy's life it was found necessary
to amputate both legs below the knees.
The Webster-Street Bridge.
Mayor Davie and Councilman Bassett are
preparing for a determined movement
against the obsolete Webster-street bridge.
Mayor Daviesays he intends to appeal to the
War Department to have the old Dridsre re
moved as an obstruction to navigation.
This appeal must be based upon a petition
signed by interested ship-owners, protest
ing that the bridge is a nuisance and that
it does not comply with the Federal re
quirements for drawbridges.
Recently the Sonthern Pacific has com
menced to patch up the bridge and is now
driving piles into tlie main draw pier. The
new piles are needly badly experts declare,
but a new and modern bridge whose draws
will permit a vessel to pass with a tug
alongside is a still more pressing neces
sity.
Assessor Dalton's Visitors.
Controller Colgan and four other mem
bers of the State Board of Equalization-
Messrs. Morehouse, Beamer, Arnold and
Cheesebrough — paid their annual visit to
the Alameda County Assessor's office yes
terday. All of the gentlemen expressed
themselves as agreeably surprised with the
thoroughness and correctness of the work
done by Assessor Dalton. They will re
main a day or two and then depart, and
upon the data obtained during their visit
tney will largely depend for a basis of
assessment of Alameda County when they
meet at Sacramento in a few months for
that purpose.

WHITE IN DEEP TROUBLE
The Mendocino Cattle King
Liable to Be Convicted of
Contempt.
John S. Rohrbough, His Nephew,
Fined and Imprisoned on the
Same Charge.
"Cattle King" George E. White of Men
docino County is in danger of punishment
for contempt of court if Judge Hebbard
reaches the same conclusion regarding
him which he did in the case of John S.
Rohrbough, who was fined $500 and given
a sentence of five days in the County Jail
for having sworn to a paper in which a
statement was made that he had upon
June 9, 1894, executed a lease with George
8. White for certain lands in Humboldt
and Mendocino counties and that the lease
was to run until the year 1897.
The court took the grounds of contempt
from the fact that in ISB9 it had issued a
decree that no lease should be entered into
or any portion of the property disposed of
until linal judgment had been entered.
Following the contempt proceedings may
come a charge of perjury, as Ronrbough
had made an affidavit that he had entered
into a lease with White for the same prop
erty on March 10, 1895, to run for ten
months.
At the time the original decree was is
sued the lease then pending was to expire
April 9, 1894. Two days preceding the date
of expiration George M. Downs was sent
j by the receiver to take possession of the
property on the judgment which was ren
dered, giving Airs. White a claim of $103,
--000. Downs found Rohrbough at the
ranch. The latter said he had a lease on
the property which did not expire until
the fall of 1897. Downs demanded the
lease, but Rohrbough said the document
was locked up find he could not get at it.
The contention of Mrs. Frankie White,
who is represented by Walter H. Linforth,
is that even if such a lease was ever made
ii, was ante-dated and is a fraud upon its
face.
White was ordered to appear before the
court to answer in contempt proceedings
May 3. Instead of doing that he sent an
affidavit from his physician to the effect
that nis wound, which he had received by
the falling of his pistol from his pocket in
Sau Francisco, was of such a nature that
he could not appear on the date named by
the court.
It is shown by the attorneys on the other
side that White left Covelo, Mendocino
County, May 1, the same day of the affi
davit of the doctor; that he was in Ukiah
the following day and in San Francisco
May 3, the day the case was originally
called.
These facts have all been presented to
the court, and when the case is called this
morning the "King" will have to show
good cause why he should not go to jail
and pay a fine.
Ronrbough is a nephew of White and
has been acting as his agent at the ranch
since Mrs. White began her proceedings
for divorce.
All of White's property is to be sold at
the receiver's sale, May 27, at Ukiah.
FALL OF THE BASTILE.
The French Colony Will Observe the
Anniversary by Holding a
Picnic.
A number of the members of the French
colony of this City met last night in the
hall of the Lafayette Guards for the pur
pose of determining if the anniversay of
the fall of the Bastile should be observed
as it had been previous to last year.
Daniel Levy was elected chairman of the
meeting and J.^eschamps secretary, after
which it was decided there should be a
celebration, but not on the scale which had
made previous celebrations so notable in
this City.
On motion of P. A. Bergerot it was
voted that the celebration should be a pic
nic, to be given by all the French societies.
A proposition that the surplus should
be turned over to the Alliance Francaise,
the money to be used for the purpose of
giving the rising generation instruction in
the French language, led to a prolonged
debate, which was brought to a close by a
motion by Mr. Goustiaux that the disposi
tion of the surplus be discussed after the
celebration.
It was decided that the committee of
arrangements should be composed of the
presidents of the several societies and cap
tains of the three French military com
panies. -
The French Consul was named honorary
president of the committee. Secretary
I>eschamp3 was , directed to arrange for a
committee meeting.

The Fair Estate.
Judge Slack yesterday sustained the demur
rer of Dr. Marc Levingston to the opposition of
Margaret J. Crothers and others to the probate
of the will of James G. Fair, and ordered the
motion to strike out certain portions of the
opposition stricken from the calendar.
Warren & Malley, contractors, have filed
another claim for $9493 96 for work done on
the Fair North Beach water-Jots.
WILL CONTEST DEFERRED.
A Curious Alleged Claim Upon
the Estate of Calvin W.
Kellogg.
HIS LAST LOVING LETTER.
Peculiar Coincidence of Dates In
the Recall of an Invi
tation.
It was a surprise to the general public
when the purported will of Calvin W.
Kellogg, the aged capitalist, formerly of
the firm of J. Wilmerding & Co., was yes
terday admitted to probate without the
filing of a contest. Attorney L. E. Phil
lips, associate counsel with Delmas &
Shortridge for the daughter, Mrs. Gilroy,
appeared in Judge Coffey's court and of
fered no objection to the proceedings.
Mrs. Mary Kellogg, the widow, was sub
sequently appointed administratrix of the
estate by the court. ,
From Attorney Phillips it was subse
quently learned that there is an obstacle to
be surmounted before any contest can be
filed. This obstacle appears in the form of
a claim for $250,000, to which is attached a
curious history. The claim is represented
by a suit by Peter Dean, as president of
the Merchants' Exchange Bank of San
Mateo County.
It appears that in 1875 Calvin W. Kel
logg was president of that bank, and for
temporary accommodation among the
directors in the manipulation of collateral,
etc., gave his note for $250,000, it being
merely a "paper" transaction. Mr. Kel
logg was then very rich, but in the panic
of 1877 he became bankrupt and the follow
ing year went through the insolvency
court.
Jt was at this juncture that, it is claimed,
this note became estopped. On November
14, 1877, a petition in the matter of Calvin
W. Kellogg was filed in the District Court
of California. On January 11, 1878, at a
meeting of creditors, H. C. Hyde was ap
pointed assignee, and on February 27 a
certificate of final discharge was granted
by order of court.
Previously to this, however, a formal
notice to creditors of the estate had been
kept published in the Alta California
newspaper warning all who had claims
against the estate of Calvin W. Kellogg to
present their claims. This included jiny
possible claim the Merchants' Exchange
Bank might have, but the bank presented
no claim for payment of the $250,000 note
and, the attorneys claim, by the discharge
of the bankrupt was forever estopped from
establishing such a claim.
In 1879, notwithstanding the bank
ruptcy proceedings and the formal notice,
the bank commenced proceedings to re
cover the value of the note, but the action
was never pressed. The affair was a mere
farce. Attorney Phillips commenting on
it said :
For sixteen years not a paper was filed in the
suit which was commonly believed to be a mere
blackmailing suit and to have been dropped as
it failed of its purpose.
But during the sixteen years the attorneys
for the bank, without his knowledge, had been
obtaining every hali year a six months' exten
sion of time, and now that the old man is dead
there appears an inclination on the part of
Peter Dean, the president of the bank, to press
the suit. It is curious that in the insolvency
proceedings Dean presented claims on Kel
logg aggregating $13,200, from which he was
barred by the discharge of the bankrupt, but
now Dean has just presented a claim against
the Kellogg estate for only $2000.
It is stated that the will has been per
mitted to go to probate to allow the ex
ecutors, Thomas Cole, Joseph N. Loewe
and Mrs. Mary Kellogg, to fight this obso
lete claim of the bank. Delmas & Short
ridge and L. E. Phillips will participate to
have it dismissed.
In the meantime Mrs. Ella Gilroy, the
daughter of the capitalist, is unchanged in
her faith in the loving intentions of her
father toward her at the time of his death.
She possesses a chain of letters, only
broken by a peculiar circumstance a short
time before her father died, breathing
nothing but the most devoted affection.
The last of these letters, addressed to her
in Europe, ran as follows:
December 7, 1894.
3f>i Darling Ella—\ am just in receipt of your
letter or November 23, and I have just cabled
you £20. I also sent you a like amount on the
3d oi this month, and on the 4th I wrote you
asking you if you would like to come home uml
keep house for me and be everything to me,
but I do not want you to come unless you
think it ivould suit you and bo pleasant to you
to do as I would want you to. "i ou would bave
to be, for a while at least, very quiet, and not
at all conspicuous. I said\ in cane It wouH
suit you, you would cable "yes," and I would
eend'you "money to come, otherwise you can
write.
Well, my darling love, I have at last made
my arrangements to continue the business of
Wilinerding &. Co. by taking in nev,- partners.
The heirs did not allow me to draw one dollar
for three months, which accounts for my not
being able to send you money. Adding all my
love, I am yours C. W. K. "
In reply to this letter Mrs. Gilroy cabled
"Yes," and an ocean steamship company
informed her that her passage had been
paid across the Atlantic and through to
Han Francisco. She prepared to start, and
strangely enough in the middle of January
of this year received word fron the steam
ship people that the passage money had
been withdrawn. There were no more let
ters, and Mrs. Gilroy only heard from a
San Francisco friend in April that her
father was very ill. She came over at once,
and reached the city just three days before
his death. The attorney continued :
The peculiar point is that it was in the mid
dle of January that Mrs. ilassey, who after
ward became Mrs. Kellogg, went to live with
Mr. Kellogg;. Thereafter there was a regular
succession of significant dates. Mr. Kellogg
was divorced from his second wife January 29.
married Mrs. Massey February 26, made the
alleged will and deed March 7, made a subse
quent deed on March 23, and died on April 12,
of Bright' s disease of the kidneys.
The contention of the attorneys for the
prospective contestants is that Mrs. Mas
sey first induced Mr. Kellogg, whose mind
was impaired by age and disease, to break
off relations with his daughter, then secure
a divorce from Mrs. Button Kellogg, the
second wife, and subsequently to make the
obnoxious will and deeds. Mrs. Kellogg
had in her employ Attorney D. P. Belk-
nap.
It has not yet been positively announced
whether the only »on of Kellogg will make
a contest. Mrs. Gilroy is on excellent
terms with the young man, and the only
object she has in view is to secure the real
ization of what she is sure were her fath
er's last wishes as regards his children.
SUCCESS ASSUEED.
Good Showing of the Women's Educa
tional and Industrial Union.
The success of the Women's Educational
and Industrial Union as a practical move
ment along the line of aiding deserving
young women to learn useful branches of
industry was well demonstrated last night
in the large gathering at 103 Van Ness
avenue. The occasion was the quarterly
meeting of the institution. The business
meeting was followed by a pleasant social.
Mme. Louise Sorbier, the president, was
able to show a rather encouraging report
from tne treasurer, Mrs. L. C. Fraser.
The cash surplus had increased from $54
last August to $349 oy the first of the
month.
As an evidence of the value of the insti
tution to the community a report came
from the bureau of application stating that
from the number of applications received
It was apparent that there is a large num
ber of teachers of all branches and seam
stresses out of employment. There were
202 applications from ladies needing work
in the past six months, and only 84 from
employers. It was suggested that if the
ladies would bring their sewing to the
union much of it could oe used to relieve
the distress of applicants for employment.
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, who has proved one
of the union's greatest benefactresses, was
unanimously voted a life member. In
speaking of her, Mrs. Nellie B. Eyster,
acting chairman of the meeting, observed
that at a recent drawing-room given oy
Queen VictoVia, Mrs, Hearst, who is still
in London, was presented to her Majesty,
and among the assemblage there none was
more queenly in bearing than this well
known lady from San Francisco. Mrs.
Eyster also gave a short sketch of the life
of Susan B. Anthony, who is on her way
here to attend the woman's congress next
Monday. It was voted to have the union
tender a reception to Miss Anthony on
Tuesday, the 28th inst.
From the report of the educational com
mittee it was manifest that good progress
had been made by the different classes.
Some excellent evidences of what the dress
making class had done were exhibited in
several complete dress suits. The class in
German had been studying "William Tell."
"Nathan the Wise," "Herman and Doro
thea" and "Minna yon Barnhelm." It
had even produced an original German
poem, which was universally pronounced
an indication of genius as well as of the
thorough training of the teacher, Miss S.
Schultz.
At the social there was some well-re
ceived singing by the choral class, under
the direction of Madame Ellen Coursen-
Roeckel, followed by solos by Miss May
Mabie, Mrs. H. Lewis, Miss Adrienne
Mojica, Mrs. F. Pete/sen, Miss Grace
Sherry, Miss Madeline Lee and Miss Cathie
Coursen, Professor Joseph Roeckel accom
panying.
TO BE KESENTENCED.
Fredericks, the Murderer, Brought Over
From San Quentin Prison Bound
and Howling.
Fredericks, the murderer of Cashier Her
rick, was brought over from San Quentin
prison yesterday to appear before Superior
Judge Murphy for resentence to-day.
He is making what appears to be a heroic
attempt at insanity, and, strapped hand
and foot, he howled ail the way over from
the prison.
When placed in the jail van he screamed
and moaned, apparently taking no notice
of those around him. At the jail he re
fused to walk, and had to be carried inside.
In the cell he sat on the floor and idioti
cally spat at invisible objects in the air and
could not be made to talk.
He has been playing the crazy role at
San Quentin, bat with little success, as the
prison officials who have watched him
closely are convinced that he is shamming.
After his resentence to-day hid attorney,
George E. Colwell, will move to have him
adjudged insane. It is stated that the
murderer's father, in Germany, has de
cided to make no more efforts in his behalf.
REFUGEES WILL GO BACK
Four Fugitives From the Sand
wich Islands Are Granted
Amnesty.
Local Plotters Against the Opera
Bouffe Republio Forced to
Begin Again.
In a little room off the Sparta saloon on
Battery street a group of conspirators has
met day after day, complained of the slow
ness of the Federal Government, and
formed plots for the overthrow of the pre
vailing Government on the Sandwich
Islands. Each had his little bank in
which he deposited his spare nickels with
which to purchase a man-of-war. They
discussed with glee the precautions taken
by the Dole Government to guard against
invasion, biA were not quite sure whether
they would start from San Francisco,
Guatemala, Victoria, Japan or the South
Sea Island?.
Now they find they will have to begin
planning all over again. Four of their
number, all gentlemen with large property
on the islands, have decided to taKe ad
vantage of an amnesty from the Hawaiian
republic and return to Honolulu and their
various businesses, forever renouncing any
intention of recalling the old regime.
These men are Fred Wedenburg, formerly
Postmaster-General at Honolulu, John
Raden, Nick Peterson and James Brown.
The -story of their defection ha? been
rumored for some time. There can be no
doubt now of their desire to return.
Messrs. "Wedenburg. Raden and Brown
have already arranged to go back to their
families. The arrival of the Australia to
day will bring word to Mr. Peterson grant
ing his application.
There are about twenty of the refugees
in San Francisco. There are three in Vic
toria, two in Seattle, a number in Japan
and Australia and one in London. These
men were confined a month and a half in
cells 5 feet by 7, and given only three hours'
exercise each day. Some of them had
been very active politically. Others were
looked upon as dangerous, though nothing
could be charged against them. They
were iinally released, without having been
tried, upon their promise to leave the
islands. They were glad to accept the
offer, as they feared for their lives.
The refugees have complained to their
various governments, demanding repara
tion. Most of them were Americans, and
all have been waiting the action of the
United States. In the meanwhile a num
ber were given to understand that they
would be allowed to return if they would
promise to uphold the present Government.
Most of them have refused, and will wait
till their cases are taken cognizance of
officially. _

INGERSOLL'S
GLORY.
It Rises to tie SiUiie When He
Is on tie Lecture Platform.
SMALL WOJiDEIt HE HAS FOLLOWERS
All Great Men Create Disciples, All
Great Men Have Imitators,
All Great Things Have
Cheap Substitutes.
There is no private citizen to-day who stands
so conspicuously before the public as does
Robert J. Ingersoll. No matter whether you
believe as he does or not you seem drawn to
him. He has a wonderful personality. He
states things with such a peculiar grace and
truthful air, all the while giving out his ideas
in the matchless diction— in the Ingersoll's dic-
tion. He is the great word-painter; no man in
the country paints so beautifully with words.
Ingalls is his nearest compeer. Ingalls congre-
gates adjectives. His word-painting has too
much red; Ingersoll blends. He is your true
painter.
What can be grander than nis "Picture of
Health."
Said he:
"Give me a healthy family of men. women
and children and I wiil vouch for their honesty,
sobriety and morality. It is disease that cre-
ates appetites. Disease imbrutes men. It
makes liars, hypocrites, fiends and drunkards.
If the Mississippi ran clear rum, if its banks
were loaf-sugar fringed with mint, no more
mint juleps would be drunk than there are
now."
Disease drives men to drink. The greatest
benefactor is he who cures the sick. He who
helps others to be strong men and women gives
them the greatest help.
Small wonder such a man is liked. He comes
at the truth squarely and fairly. He tells you
the truth in elegant language. He tells you to
assist others so they may assist themselves.
There is one California product which Inger-
soll would surely be glad to indorse. It is the
Home Remedy, Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
It makes pure blood, and pure blood makes
good men and women.
Persons suffering from blood disorders, skin
afflictions and torpid liver should use the Cali-
fornia Herb Remedy, Joy's Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla.
Like Ingersoll, it ha* many imitators. There
are many nasty substitutes that may or may
not be offered to you, but you should refuse
them all. Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla has
been indorsed by all kinds and conditions of
men and women.

, Dear Sir: It is now about four months since I
' was recommended by friends to attend your sani-
tarium. I had for a long time been afflicted with
epilepsy and was under the care of skilled doctors,
but obtained no permanent relief until after I bad
consulted you. The herb teas procured at your
sanitarium had the magical effect of bringing about
a complete cure. I shall most earnestly recommend
you to all who are aiHicted. Yours respectfully.
