A GOOD many of the oftieeseekers who areeamping down in Washington will come home attired in the must approved summer fashions; and nothing more. The recent work of firebugs in Bos ton, Milwaukee, and other large cities, leads one to the feeling that if there is any criminal who deserves burning "' the stake, it is one of these fiends. When the Chicago mayoralty contest is over those editorial writers down there will have to put on their thinking caps to find topics, and they will come i good deal nearer to earning their sal aries. Sunday in St. Paul was wnitn and lunuy, and the bluebirds sang all day. It seemed like spring. Can't those Minneapolis papers head oil" the measly blizzard that is probably bearing down upon us? It is a good deal easier for Brother Blunt to sit at his editorial desk up there In Minneapolis and poke fun at St. Paul spring editorials than to master courage enough ti) write one himself. Confound a coward, anyhow. The !ate Col. Elliot F. Shetakd published daily at the bead ot the edi torial columns of the Mail and Express n verse from the Bible. A good many New Yorkers read in .the paper the Uible for the first time in their lives. It has just loiiic to ltent that the pension bureau made a decision last September which reverses a ruling under which has been wrong fully paid out. The decision was evi dently kept a secret for political reasons. In an editorial paragraph of Sunday Rev. Sam Small'- name was used by error in connection with llev. Mr. Dobbs 1 trouble in Georgia. It is Rev. Sam Jon::- who was meant. Mr. Small holds a lucrative position on the Atlanta Constitution, and "his deportment is faultless. Ex-GOXOKESSMAN Ui.viiam, of Chi cago, is about to bring suit against a prominent banker to recover 130,000 for alienating the affections of his wife. The trouble with such cases generally is that tin; wife has dropped the hand kerchief, and the otner man has only picked it up. The fashionable tea costume is so constructed that it is difficult to see how the wearer can eat anything more than a small piece of anted food. But it is suspectc! that after tea is over she hies herself to a secluded place, unhooks the corsage and fills up with corned beef and cabbage. Sscbetary Carlisle is proving a surprise party to the horde of congress men who have been in the habit of mating themselves strong In their dis tricts by securing positions in the treas ury department for people whose serv ices are not needed there. The people will applaud if the congressmen do not. The Chieaeo Inter Ocean remarks that ••the editor of the New York Sun would be the best successor to Bob i:i:i T. LISCOLJi that could be found in the Democratic party, if JLiscoui is to come homo."' What lias come over the Inter Ocean? It is only a short time since the paper was roasting Mr. Dana to the queen's taste. Tiik managements ot some of those great Chicago dailies should devote a little time to bringing tiieir editorial writers into harmony with each other. A few days ago one of these papers con tained two editorials which took oppo site sides of a question, and the most peculiar feature was that oik- was im mediatefy under the other. A DEVOUT church man. who has fought for Sunday closing of the world's fair, tells the (li. in;:: that whenever be takes a lone railway trip he starts early in the week to avoid riding Sunday. But upon cro's-exainination he admitted that he went to Europe recently, and, though he was ei^ht days crossing the ocean, he didii't stop off on the way for that day.

NOT THI-; QVBSTKHI. The president of the Northwestern I Fuel company addresses a letter to the speaker of the house, the substance of which Is a statement that his company has not made a profit to exceed 2 I cents a ton on its coal d urine ten years last past. There is something of the iinru iiicnt of the wafer in his offer to submit I bis books to a committee to prove this | fact if. presumably, the ..late, to whose ' otttcct he addresses himself; will pay , whatever proht the examination shall show (he company has received less than JO cents a ton, lie Agreeing to pay the treasury all excess of profit over that figure. Of course, Mr. Sauxdeks knot's that there is no authority to ac cept such a proposition, and we presume he made It more to emphasize his confi j dence la Ma statement 'than with any idea of its acceptance. But the qaestiou at the base of all this discussion, thouirh often lost sight of, is not at all whether his company is making large or small profits, or no profits at all, but whether or not his company is part of a combination of wholesale coal dealers, the purpose of which is to control the markets and ab solutely shut out all competition. If this is the case, it is illegal, unlawful and dangerous, even if its purpose were purely philanthropic, and were to pro vide the. public with fuel at cost It is the vital question of individual freedom of men to engage in any business they wish to and tj conduct the same as their best judgment may direct, regardless of what others may do, and responsible only to themselves tor what they do. l;i a frc country any man must be free to enter tiie vocation of coal dealer on any scale he wishes to, and to eon duci tiie same without dictation or in terference from anybody. When this right is taken away, whether by law or conspiracy, a blow is struck at liberty •.nut our institutions. Xo matter what the pretense or purpose of the interfer ence may be. ltd result is the same. The . the loss of manhood, the substi tution of cringing servitude for manly independence, is already demonstrated in the Sifficuity which the committee meets in getting the retail deak-r> to testify. They are cowed by the loss of their liberty, of which the combine has robbed them. Mr. s.u m»ki;« would be the first to raise his hands in protest against the as sumption by the state ot the entire coal business, lie would denounce it as an invasion of the field of private enter prise; as a peternalistle ase of govern mental power* which was needless and dangerous. And yet it would bother him to explain wherein the difference in principle is between the control of the busiuess by the state and by his combination. What difference there is Is in favor of state control. If Mr. Sax'ndkbs read or beard the speech of Mr. D'innim.i.v in which he scoffed at (hose who arc resisting tho strong set ] towards paternalism in government, he misfit gather from it the fact that it is the actions of business men like him ' self in his and many other branches of I enterprise, in forming these trusts and combinations to control prices, that are giving to their victims their despairing conclusion that the only relief is in a paternalism of government that will tako over all those various businesses to i itstir. The trusts and combinations are I the stou'.est allies of the Nationalist. FINISH THK HOSPITAL*. The new ward building of the city hospital can be completed with an ad ditional expenditure of £10,000, and un less the amount is appropriated all the outlay upon it is likely to be wasted. At this stags it is unwire to oppose the appropriation upon the ground that the hospital was planned upon an extrava gant scale; it is a question of saving to the city the money which has already been expended. The building is at the of completion where the work will decay unless the structure is com pleted. With this completed, St. Paul will have the finest hospital this side of Philadelphia, and one which will rank with the vest in the United States. The famous Cook county, Illinois, hospital is not to be conipaivd with it. If the new building is completed, as it should be, the wards will be so well ventilated, comfortable and attractive that the wealthy of this and other cities of the .Northwest wiil prefer to resort to this hospital in sickness in preference to any other; and, of course, it is the in tention to charge such patients a rea sonable amount. There can be little doubt but that the revenue derived in that way would soon grow large enough to pay the expenses of the institution. Thus, Dr. Axckki: has devised a plan whereby the hospital, instead of being purely a charitable one anu an expense to taxpayers, shall become prohtable to the city and county. In the past it has been a burden to the taxpayers, and if the burden can be raised, the opportu nity should be improved. The clinical advantages the hospital will afford the medical profession ot St. Paul is inestimable, it will draw to the city physicians from all over the North west. The students of tie state uni versity will also improve the oppor tunity open to them. It is possible that !>;. Ancki:i: can turn this matter to a money account. But if he cannot, the community will still ue the gainer by the advantage afforded the profession. '1 lie hospital wili undoubtedly be a pride ot tlie city, and let it be linished by all means. "TOUGH— HUT t liIKE IT." BIJLDfE illustrated the assumed good praee with which some party measure was submitted to with a story of the lumber camp where a penalty was im posed on a man who grumbled at the cookinsr. An especially leathery pie was served one day, when one of the men, forgetting th« rule, said, "This is a dashed tougii pie;" tncn. remember ing the offense he had committed, added instantly, "but I like it." The labored editorial of our ever loyal neighbor down the street, "To Protect the Farmer," su<ji:est3 this story of Blaixe's at every paragraph. The effort to "like it" is apparent from be ginning to end. In 1885 and in ISS7 a Republican lesis latare enacted laws creating the present grain system in response to the com plaints of the farmers of the. state. which had grown too imperious to.be ignored. The previous ".Stacy filler"' THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MORNING. MARCH 27, :593. tern as ineffective. The Piuneer Press came to the defense of its party with that loyalty and lervor which character i/.es it — during campaigns— and warned the farmers against thu Democratic "l'lot Against tlie Farmer." Iv an edi torial full of imtitruatiou against the iconoclastic- Democrats It asked the tanners of the stale if they were aware that the Democrats were pledged in their platform to "tho destruc tion of that craal awMvn of legislation (the grain laws of \s;..'ss? wliich is their icily assurance they will receive fair traatmeut, rail weitrliiac and grading of their main iv the terminal markets?* 1 it assured the carmen that "the system of prrata inspection established by the act of 1838 lias proved most satisfactory in pr-u-tice.'' It christened it "this beneficent law." A year later the same paper contained a circular letter Issued py the chief grata inspector iv "re sponse to countless letters," tho paper said, complaining of the weighing, gradtag and dockage of train under "this beneficent law.'' The "only as surance" the farmers had in this "tcreat measure of legislation" proved to be. no assurance whatever. Just as in isss it was the emergency of a political campaign that obliged our contemporary to pronounce "beneti ceut" a futile law, so now it is the ex igency of the defense of a measure which tlic elective bead of the party lias conceived and made a party and an administration measure that forces our contemporary to the support of a bill which it* hotter Judgment would re ject. The pie is "dashed toush," but partisan necessity compels au avowal of fondness for it. THR OFFICKSfeEKBR itisli'ale wonder that the president be came interested in Chaiii.ks K. Whlki.- EB, of i'aducah, when he heard that the gentleman, upon learning that his chance for the office he desired was eclipsed by another Kentuckian, went home bearing nnt the slightest soreness. The average officeseeker is sure that he is almost the ablest man in tiie field, and that lie bas done more effective party service than all the other candi dates put together. If he fails of his ambition, he treasures it as a personal slight, ana very often proceeds to antag onize quietly, and sometimes openly, the party which has failed to reward him. Many of these turn to another party; but they generally do them selves more harm thau the party they left. As a rule, the man who has served many years in office becomes the bitter est enemy tp the party which has hon ored him so Ion?, when he is at length dropped out. No man in the nation is more keenly alive to these American characteristics than Mr. C'i.i:vi.i..vxu, and he evidently proposes to discourage the feeling among offlceseeken that they are in dispensable to the party, and among officeholders that they own the offices. He will do so by appointing to office, so far as possible, just such men as Mr. Wiikki.kk, who would feel grateful if appointed, but would not be any the less loyal to their party if they failed; and by giving no one so long a tenure of office that he will grow into the feel ing that the uiHee belongs to him. By the means he wiil make stronger Demo crats of the oiliceholders, and less selfish men of the unsuccessful office seekers. Some of the latter will, no doubt, go home very sore, and seek to do barm; but ttie policy of the executive will commend itself so thoroughly to the people that the disappointed ones will accomplish little more than to make themselves appear ridiculous. The strong hand with which Mr. C'm:vki,axi> is dealing with these mat ters is' watched closely ana approved by the people at large. WOMANHOOD SUFFRAGE. To the Editor of the Globe. Will you please answer this in the Monday paper?" The cause of the Revolutionary war was taxation without representation. Now, it ■ woman baa property she must be taxed; then why has ■ woman 'not a right to vote aud be represented? A Subscriber. The right of women to the suffrage rests on better ground than the owner ship of property and payment of the taxes levied on it. It rests on pre cisely the same basis as does the right of men to vote— the subjection to law, and the resultant risrht. in a free coun try, to a share in framing tlie law. As the nations mow up and out of barbarism, this right of manhood suffrage is more and more admitted. In this country it is fully recognized; in other countries it is gradually expanding under the widening influence of the conception of the universal brotherhood of man. The restrictions are but relics of barbarism, which are gradually sloughing off, and some day that remnant of th<^ concept Of woman which now denies her equal civil rights with men. and which once made her but the plaything or the slave of man, will slough off of our civilization, and we will have suffrage by right of womanhood, as we now have it by right of manhood. Anent the Capitol. Albert Lea Standard. The new capitol bill is likely to be lobbied through the legislature, and the lower house has decided to retain the present site. The Standard favors a new capitol, aud a grand one at that, but the bill winch is likely to oass is very ob jectionable. Everything, however, that the people do not want, goes with the crowd in the old capitol. The bill lias passed the house, the vote bt'ini sixty-eight for to forty-one against, Representative Christie and Ueissler voting for. T fi3 bill was un proved very much by amendment in the house. The senate will undoubtedly concur, and so we shall have to make the best of it. It is unfortunate that a broader spirit could not have prevailed In providing for the future grand capitol of the noblest of the trans-Mississippi states, but it is better to accept it than to neglect at this time to begin it. The New Can itol. Rochester Record mid I'nion. The bill providing for the erection of a new capitol has passed the house and irone to the senate.and should be passed by that body without delay. A state possessing the wealth of Min nesota should have a state building that is creditable to it. The present structure is too small, illy arranged. Hot at all too safe, aud l>y no means such a structure as the state should posse-*. Under ttio present bill it will ba twelve years before t!ic new capitol will be completed. It will cost the owner of a firm or town lot not to exceed 10 cents per yt'.ir. and when completed will be a structure of which every Minnesotan will be proud, ilurry up and pass the bill.

Tho Culifornian Magazine, with its customary spirit of timeliness, presents in the April number no less tha.i four important papers on the subject of Hawaii. The first of thesa comprises some posthumous articles by King Kahtkuua, which were secured by the publishers with much difficulty. "Tlie Ancient llnwuiians." by X Ellsworth Carey, is a highly entertain ing description of tho island kingdom under the rule of the Kainrhaiiielias. Tho illustrations arc reproductions from very old and valued oil paintings, .lames O 'Meant, formerly United States commissioner to Ha waii, gives the history of Hawaiian an nexation from Hih first endeavor, which occurred during President Pierces ad ministration, down to ttu) latest strenu ous eiiorts in this direction; and F. It. D. describes In a Cleat and graphic manner the recent overthrow of the Hawaiian government. May liicelow has a humorous article' on trie first exposition. Dr. Fred d'Ev eiyn lias one on Assegai and Shield, Zulu Weapons and Warfare, and many other well-known writers contribute to the interest of tho current number or this magazine. • "• . » • • Every issue of the Literary North west seems better tlmu its predecessor. The April number Is no exception to this rule. The frontispiece, "A Banana Merchant," represents not at all the sort of sceDC wo are accustomed to associate with that peripatetic personage as lie is known in our city's streets, but ;i dignified Oriental seat ed behind his tray of fruit, adjusting his scales to receive the fruit bought by the waiting: customer, who, seated on an empty crate with her head shawl thrown back, revealing a girlish face, looks the ideal close bargainer, for which so many Orientals anr famous. Edward Carpenter contributes a clever ghost story under the title of "The Mys tery of the French Chateau." A trio of timely and pertinent medical papers by William D. Foulk, M. D. ; Albert Scheider, M. D., and C. N. Hewett, M. D., are the features of this number. Mary J. Keid writes ably and witli a friendly pen of "Our Dead Historian," William Swinton. The poem written by 11. L.Gordon, and read at a public meeting ot the Minnesota State Historical society last October, is .published in tills. A pathetic little story by Iliehard Saxe- Jones, "Little Tod;" "A Story of a Minnesota Farm," is another contribution to the realistic pictures of the actual condition of things among our vauntedly fortunate country people that first originated with Ilamlin Garland, and that are des tined to have a large share in teaching our people the extent of the dangers that threaten us through a a pauper ized, hopeless tenantry, instead of the free and prosperous owners of the soil that we have delighted to picture our fanners to be. Hawaii-Nei is a compound word to winch we may as well grow accustomed, since it seems tolerably certain that we shall soon number the Sandwich Islands among Uncle Sam's children. "Hawaii- Nei," by Mary GruyUmsted,in the New Peterson for April, will be found a charming account of these favorites of nature, based on a journal kept during a sojourn there of several months. The article is beautifully illustrated, and thoroughly dsseryes the attention it cannot fail to receive. The New Peter son shows a commendable spirit of en terprise in being the first magazine to announce a paper so interesting and so timely. Other attractions of the same number will be "A College Girl," by Ellen Olney Kirk; "A Border Leander," by Uoward Seely; "Some Fireside Pets," by Minot J. Savage, and "Dr. Primrose's Administration," by Edward Everett Hale. * » * The April issue of Lippincott's is mainly devoted to Columbus and the exposition. The complete novel, "Co lumbus in Love," is by George Alfred Tovvnsond ("(lath"), and narrates fully and feelintjlv Ine great discoverer's re lations with "Beatrix Enriquez. The lead in;; persons of that day in Suain, and some of the chief scenes, are introduced —Isabella, Ferdinand, the court, the bishops, the tall of Granada, the inqui sition: as well as those most closely as sociated with the Genoese— the faithful Nunez, the pood prior of Ilabida, Tiii zon, the sailors, and many more. The canvas is crowded, and those who will may here maW* enlarged acquaintance not only witli the surrace of Spain at tiiat eventful era. but with the spirit or the time and the heart of its greatest man. The novel is fully illustrated. William leleheart tells "What the Publicity Department did for the Col umbian Exposition." A portrait of Maj. Moses I. Handy accompanies this article. Julian Hawthorne attempts "A De scription ot the Inexpressible"— the buildintrs of the fair; and Frederic M. Bird characterizes "The lleligion of 1402" and that of Columbus. The non-Columbian papers include one by Edgar Sal tus on ••Sappho"; an instalment of M. Crofton's "Men of the Day," covering J. A. Froude. Gounod, Dr. Farrar. Gen. Howard and Congress man Holman; and an illustrated tale by Annie Flint— "Abraham's Mother," which is the second in the series of Lippincott's Notable Stories. The poetry of the number is by Florence Earle Coates, Oweu Wister und Hubert Loveman. Two Tales comes to our table as bright and entertaining as ever. Two com plete stories each week from the best authors is the programme it presents. "Two Episodes in a Coward's Life," by G. S. Godkin, and "The Cy Baker Ledge," -by Gertrude Smith, are this week's stories. PERIODICALS RECEIVED. The California!! Illustrated Magazine.

This is not Mr. Wilstaeh's lust attempt at original verse, although he is chiefly known to the literary world through his elaborate translations of Viriril and Dante.

"Brilliants From the Writings of Bish op Phillips Brooks," thirty-two pages, 50c; illustrated by Louis K. Harlow and Louis Maynelle. Hollander, Bradshaw<fc Folsom: Boston, 1893. This most dainty memorial collection of Bishop Brooks' effective tellings and sayings is beauti fully printed on tine paper, nnri will fully satisfy the demand for some tasty souvenir of the famous preacher. The wealth of strength, power and vigor, coupled witlrthe wonderful faith in God that made the bishop such a con troller of men's minds and affections, is clearly revealed in those carefully winnowed selections from his sermons and addresses. The Illustrations by Harlow and Maynelle are tasteful, and embellish the text by reason of their exquisite beauty and artistic printing. It is without doubt a helpful book, es pecially for younger people, and will prove an inspiration to many all over this country. We understand that the second edition of the very interesting novel, "Myra Mordaunt," by W. P. McMillan, of this city, is now in press, the tirst edition having been exhausted in about twenty days. We are sure that Mr. McMillan's friends will be gratified that li is work is meeting with such deserved success. Chicago: Morrill, Higgins & Co. St. Paul: Minnesota News company. MEN AND WOMEN. Miss Fannie J. Sparks, who was sent out to India a missionary of the Meth odist church in 1870, is lecturing on her experiences in that country in Eastern cities. She has charge of a girl's or phanage at Bareilly, in Northwestern India. The secretary of Harvard university says that a student can complete tho college course there "honorably an<l happily" for i'MO a year, while Prof. Palmer believes that an annual income ot $l,:l 00 is a positive injury to a stu dent. Mrs. Gresham, the wife of the secre tary of state, said at a tea not long ago: "1 trust the newspapers will not begin to publish accounts of my extraordinary abilities and talents, for i haven't any. The judge doesn't liice extraordinary women." - Three boxes of shamrocks from the birthplace of John Boyle O'Reilly, County Me^th, lrelaud, arrived in New York last Thursday, one for Mayor Gil roy and the others for ex-Mayors Grant ana Grace. They were sent over by the family of the late poet. The young Earl of Beauchamp, who lias just come of age, has deserted the family mansion in May fair and taken up his residence in the squalid Whitechapel quarters, where he holds open air serv ices and has made himself noted in a way as a mission preacher. Marcii3 Lenoir, the French artist, whose cat pictures have made him fa mous and rich, is saitt to have been so poor only eight years ago that it was only through the entrance of a homeless kitten to his garret that he was one night prevented from destroying him self. He painttul a picture' of it, and from that time nls fortune was assured. 'lhere was for many years a legend in France that the late Mine.

Its Advantage* Forcibly Bet Forth by Kov. K. It. I.ilh.iiilv Itev. K. IJ. Kdwards. of the Christian church, preached yesterday on the necessity and advantages of church membership, taking as his text iieb. x.. 25. We are to consider our subject in its broad and .collective phase rather than in its individual and special meaning. Our discourse refers primarily to the church upon earth as made up of hu man beings. Church membership may be understood in a two-fold relation, namely, the visible and invisible. Large numbers claim identilication WltbGetrs people whose names are not upon the roll of any suecitic organization. It shall be our purpose to prove that such a position, while justi liable, is never theless against spiritual development along the safest and best lines. Asceti cism and inoiwisticism belong to an uirc that has long since passed. Tim soli tary lite of hermit monks is hs foreign to the natural and spiritual constitution of man as that the sun should BQine at night and the moon unfold her bright ness at noonday. Christ mingled with the people. He moved among all classes. By His example wo Biust learn that His re ligion sends us into an active, bustling world to help humanity. A recluse is an oddity. The word religion itself, signifying a binding together, forever banishes the idea tlLat a hermit can ever benefit the race by his retirement or emphasize the beauty of the Gospel by his asceticism. Man is pre-eminently a social being. When God said "It is iiot eood for man to be alone" the principle of association was universally estab lished. This idea is now one of the inherent and innate desires arising from the constitution of the 1111110". To recognize it, is to seize an element of growth; to act upon it, is to find the&e«retof an evolution into a well-rounded and developed per sonality. It is an essential factor in reaching the highest standard of man hood and womanhood. The assembling of ourselves together reveals our weak ness and another's strength, our lack and another's surliciency. Contrasting and comparing ourselves with others enables each to discover what is most desirable in the formotion of character, and to eliminate whatever hinders our progress toward the ideal. The princi ple kuown as love of society oUtains in every interest that affects lift;. It binds and preserves t-ke welfare of the nomadic tribes that travel a trackless desert, and conserves the pleasure of the polished assemblies of culture, fashion and erace. This law emphasizes and makes possible the brotherhood of man, and becomes the foundation of na tional existence. Society is sub-divided into numerous classes. These divisions are the children of circumstance and environment. Diverse conditions aris ing from the positions occupied by men necessitate these factions whose inter ests are as widely separated as the poies. Instead ot mutual co-operation, and a universal blending of what touches all, there is frequently a war of class against class. Each organization ill itself, however, was made stable and united on the basis of the innute prin ciple called the love of society. The uuifiying of the mass was principally that the whole association might secure advantages not possible to the individ ual sinirly and alone. If human soci eties thus discover a plan whereby their common weal is promoted and "find it in the law of association shall we not be quick to realize it as tho best method to auvance the spiritual inter ests of man? The futility and absurdity of supposing that your personal welfare and interest will be well cared for inde pendent of your fellow men, is no more foolish than to suppose we can unfold the possibilities of the soui separate ana apart from fellowship with our fellow- Christians. We sometimes are amazed at the stupendous and rapid growth of the church in early times. If eacli in dividual converted had reasoned as some now reason, its history would have been less inspiring and arouse but little enthusiasm. As the people were in ducted to a life of piety and godliness they associated with each other in wor shiping God. This gave them both power and prestige, and was largely in strumental in conquering the regions roundabout for Christ. They did not neglect "to assemble themselves together," and thus very materially advanced their own spiritual growth and drew the attention of others to the preaching and teaching of the apostles. As a result, the Gospel made magnificent conquests and claimed many a victory. The difference be tween a man in the church that is iden tified with some specific body and one not so situated is the difference between a brick in a building and a brick on the street. One serves a good purpose and the other has no set and fixed sphere of usefulness, it is true that in another sense some persons out of the church may be designated in modern parlance as bricks. So they are, and good sub stantial ones, but they would be still more of a brick if they would get into the walls of the spiritual temple and become identified with their fellows. The fact that they are made of good material is the reason they should oc cupy a position among God's worship era. JOKES LOCKKI) UP. And Is Confident He Will Soon Be Acqnitted.

He de sired that the reporter for the Gi.oisi: say that he was feeling very confident that he would be relieved before a great length of time and that his friends would be after him. lie desired that it be said that it was all a mistake and that a person would harm an infant than he would do a harm to any person.

The body of Fred Stauke, who wns re cently killed at Centerville by Louis Kichlii, was interred yesterday in Oak land cemetery. The deceased young man was a member of the local order of the Knights of tiie Cleaver, and the ob sequies were under its auspices and the direction of Albert Spangenberg. The body was at an undertaking estab lishment on West Seventh street, and from there the funeral took place. Numerous floral tributes bad been sent by friends, and quite a con course of people accompanied the body to its final home in the cemetery. The pall bearers were Alex McCauley, Eddie Ochsner, E.

"Oh, tlie answer; let me see."' The man figured and calculated and said "oh!" and "ah!" and scratched out and began again. Then he put iiis pencil in his mouth, paused a long while, and at last said: "Maria. I've sorter forsrotten about this fraction of a day business. How does it go?" "Why, John," said the good woman, "you-er. you-er rind the greatest com mon divisor, and—" "Say Maria, that reminds me of the joke about the janitor who saw these very words on tue blackboard, 'find the greatest common divisor,' and lie said: •Weli, is that durned thins: lost again?'

"Didn't 1 just tell you that the result would be the answer? All you have to do is to put down the multiplicand— multiplicand! where have 1 heard that word?

Strang-e Discovery Made by a Sea Captain on an Island. Chest Full of Silverware-* Many Valuables and An- tique Relics. The Fresb-Doter's Rendezyousi in the Gulf of Cali fornia. Found by Means of a Mys terious Chart Secured by Accident. • There are millions of dollars' worth of pirate treasure sunk away near one of the islands in the <iult of California, according to the statements make \>y Cant. S. i>. Metcalf, made to the San Francisco Call. Now the captain is not a visionary individual with a lively appreciation of the imaginary. On the contrary, he is a level, hard-hearted old seadoir. who lias been trading about in Mexican sea ports for the past twenty years. He runs a small schooner on the gulf, but is now in tins city for the purpose of securing appliances to bring the pirates' treasures from theii watery de pository Into the light of day and their proper sphere of appreciation. ".Now, it may appear a mere story, but it isn't," remarked C.ipt. .Metcall yesterday. "Howl came to make my re uarkable. discovery was due to my in qaisitiveness.whidi my friends of years ago used to predict would get me into trouble. :£S\S-I "'Alien I first began trading in the gulf 1 heard stories about the pirates that used to frequent those waters over a century a<:o. "Now. to a mariner's notion, it ap peared very likely that a pirate craft on the Pacific would naturally seek some unknown place as a harbor of refuge. "One hundred years ago very little was known about the gulf of California, so you can see that there was an ex treme probability that the cautious •pirates would grasp the opportunity of making it a place to escape embers, and to go and make repairs and stole their treasures. ■-'".'■■'- "While poKing around in the gulf 1 made researches, and about five years ago I hit on a startling discovery. '•While sailing about In my w for hides and other things 1 accidentally came across a 'closed' harbor at one of the islands where I touched. Although my schooner was a small one 1 feared to take her in, and so went in a small boat. "The precipitous coast line hid from ?lew an entrance imo t>ie island. Through this entrance I went in my boat. I found the. passage about 400 feet wide and abo-.:t a mile in length. It then toolc a sudden turn and broadened out into a fair-sized harbor, with about two fathoms or water at the lowest "At the northern end oi this harbor, where the water maintained its depth to the very edge of the bank, \>. t. evidences of a small settlement. '•It consisted of a score or more of log and adobe houses, with which time he dealt very kindly. '•in some of the house* were articles of furniture, such as tables, chairs and cooking utensils. '•1 returned to my schooner, and pilot ing her up to the settlement i rev i there several days, making extended re searches. "I found several old-fashioned pistols, a cutlass and some other trinkets, which 1 have retained. *' vVhiie rummaging about in one of the adobe houses I ran across a chart that was folded away in a lot ol ■ which at first 1 did not consider to be of much value. "After 1 sailed out of the piano the idea kind of struck me that the chart might possibly tell where the pirates hid their treasure.-. "The map was on parchment, and though the lines had been marked in indelible ink, it had faded considerably '•In some places the lines were SO iv distinct as to be almost untraceable. •A month afterward 1 returned to the spot where I had made the discoveries and 1 determined upon finding wn.it the map led to. "I spent several weeks trying to make that map fit the surroundings of the harbor, but could not do it. "At last 1 derided to let the matler co and return once more to the trading bi; si ness. "But somehow or other I could not i:o away. Tin 1 idea of unearthing private treasure held me to the place. "1 resolved to remain a little l'^-rer and if 1 could not make bead nor tale of the mau 1 would give it up. "Several nays afterward, tKough. I had solved the mystery of the inap'a tracing. "There was a bigs hill somewhat back of the abandoned settlement and from it the pirates had evidently taken their bearings. "From this spot ft line ran on the map due south. The tracings on the map followed this imaginary line. I Oman to daylight ahead. '•In a tew days more 1 solved tho mystery, and was able to reach the spot where the map indicated something was located. ••The uay had shoaled during the cenlury or so that elapsed >i!i;-e tho map was niade, and the water over me spot I had selected where the pirates bad concealed their plunder was only v. few feet deep at hign tide and a bare imii Sal ;i! low water. 1 went away and for several months continued to trade until 1 could collect sonic u>a< Uiuery to delve into the mini Sat "After I had rotten together somo crude appliances I returned to the scene of the mystery. "Well, to cut ii Ion:; story -■ .11. [ worked off and on over that inn '. bant for nearly three years. "1 never let my crew into the secret, and they supposed i bad gone»crazy ou the subject of coal oil. "Well, a few months ago 1 made a strike. I fished up a chest containing about $1,500 worth of silver plate. This started me going. I have an old frimd, in this city who is a capitalist, an* I came here to enlist Him in the enter prise of recovering this hidden treat ure. '•1 have been successful, and be has provided me with the necessary means to set the machinery and to allow me to devote luy whole tune and attention to he enterprise. •'Wicklille Matthews has just drawn up the papers of copartnership between my rich friend and myself. M\ friend has the plate 1 recovered. •■1 will leave in the lattei part of this month for the .Smth. "I believe that 1 have discovered tho -rendezvous of the pirates who once ter rorized the Pacific and either laid tribute on every vessel they captured or run down, or plundered them out right. If 1 Have you may just waver that I have struck the richest and must startling find of the century." Attorney .Mai thews states that the friend referred to by dun.
