A ROMANCE OF ROYALTY.

The romance of Emperor Williams re-
markable life began with his very infancy.
The strict law of heredity which controls
all the relations of dynastie families makes
no provision for twins. Hence twins are
not allowed But nature is equal and true
to the averages, even in her freaks So
tw ins are sometimes born in the direct line
to thrones, though history is as mum as
the grave about them. Thus it happened
to Frederick William III of Prussia that
his wife bore him twin sons, March 90,
1897. Ii was characteristic stroke of for
tune for this most unlucky monarch, being
of all things the one piece of luck which
was bad form il royal palace. The high
chamberlains of his most punctilions court
were aghast at such dangerous and un-
heard of proceeding in the Hohenzollern
line. To be sure, there was an older son,
and little apparent likelihood that one of
these twins would ever come to the throne,
but If the succession should ever be open
to them, who should decide which was
| which? So prompt measure were taken.
| There were the two bits of babies just alive.
| One was kept for a prince Of fHohenzollern;
the other was given to discreet German
nobleman to bring up as a gentleman of
good family and mysterious origin. One
prince went TO be the greatest monarch of
continental Europe. The other became
staid German squire, his daughter married
and migrated to Ohio, and his grandson is
well-known professor of music 10 the city
of New York, not lutte resembling his
cousin, the successor to the throne in Ger
many Our readers will look for this story
in vain in the histories, but it is truer than
history, and the Emperor William, whose
death is nov announced, acknowledged the
relationship in letter OF his own hand,
addressed to his niece in Ohio, then herself
an elderly woman, who had with some diff
ficHlty solved the riddle of her fathers
origin.

The Cases Before Judge Buckley Yes
terday.
Outside of the case of William Farley
charged with illegal voting, there was not
much Of interest before Judge Buckley yes
terday morning.
S. Kingbury pleaded guilty to having
disturbed the peace and was ordered to APP
pear for sentence on Saturday.
Fred Holland was tried on charge OF
petit larceny preferred by NJ. McKenna
The evidence showed that canary bird
belonging to Mr.. McKenna had escaped or
been let out of cage at his home on the
corner of Eleventh and / streets, and that
the boy Holland caught it on the roof OF
Mr.. McKenna's house. He took it home
and pending quarrel over the matter be-
tween Mr.. McKenna and Hollands father,
the defendants sister let the bird go. De-
PENDANT stated that he did not know the
bird belonged to Mr.. McKenna aud would
have returned ii to him after he found out
that it did, but for the fact that his sister
had given the bird its liberty and he could
not catch it again. On this statement he
was discharged.
Bridget White and Catherine Penning-
ton were arraigned on charges of disturb
ing the peace and the cases set for trial this
morning
John Kelly appeared in the prisoners
dock under the name of Fritz Kranken-
kind, charged with having been drunk.
He presented a most comical appearance,
his countenance being ornamented with
red and black paint, evidently put on by
some artist who has had experience among
the Sioux Indians. He pleaded guilty, but
stated that this was his first offense and
was discharged
The case of George Berger, charged with
battery, was continued until April 4th, on
account of the inability of the complaining
witness-who is the wife of the defendant
to be present.

The Berger Troubles.

George Berger was arrested yesterday on
complaint filed at Rocklin, Placer county,
charging him with felony. The charge
grows out of an alleged assault upon his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Kate johnson, at her
home about one mile from Loomis. Berger
went TO the house and took away his boy.
and it was during fight for the possession
OF the child that the assault occurred. He
was to have been tried in the Police Court
yesterday morning on a charge of battery,
preferred by his wife, but she was reported
TO be so i'll at the County Hospital that she
could not be brought in, and the case was
postponed until April 4th. She was in the
city, however, during the afternoon, and in
the neighborhood of where Berger lives,
trying to get possession of the boy. While
Berger was talking to an officer the boy
disappeared, ana when Berger looked
around he could not find him. He at once
suspected that the officer had been engaging
him in conversation for the purpose of Civ
ing the mothera chance to capture the child,
which the officer stoutly denied He
says that he had seen the mother in the
neighborhood few moments before, and
thinks that she probably did get the boy,
but that he knew nothing of it. Up to 8
o'clock last night Mrs. Berger had not re-
turned to the hospital. She is in a very
delicate condition, and her sufferings under
all this strain must be very severe. Her
little girl is at the County Hospital.

Edwin Booth, the greatest of living trag-
edians, and Lawrence Barrett one of the
oremost of accomplished dramatic artists,
with large and selected company, in
Guiding E. j. Buckley, John A. Lane, Ag-
mes Acres, Minna X. Gale, B. g. Rogers,
John A. Lane and twenty-five others, will
appear at the Metropolitan Tuesday even
ing next in Julius Cesar" and on We'd
nesday afternoon in "Othello." The man
agement of the Metropolitan, we under
stand, bring this expensive company here
without expectation of reaping profit, for
at the highest price charged the house will
hold little more than the outlay involved.
But it was the wish of the management
to crafty the public desire to see
the company and witness performances by
probably the strongest combination ever
upon the Pacific coast. Applications for
seats in large numbers have already been
made, but none will be sold until Friday
morning at 10 o'clock, and we are assured
that the rule will be strictly observed, first
come, first served" Further to avoid the
tricks of Spectators, it is announced that
not more than ten seats will be sold to one
person for either performance. The scale
of prices is elsewhere published. The COM
pany brings with it a carload of costumes,
stage-fttings, armor, etc. The manage
ment announces that all passes are can
celled for this engagement. 1t is wholly
unnecessary to more than announce the
appearance of Booth and Barrett. Moth
ing that can be said at this day will
add to or detract from the fame of
Edwin Booth. 1t is fortunate that the two
eminent actors are to be seen in the sub
lime tragedy of Julius Cesar" the one
as Brutus, the other as Cassius, with such
Toll as Buckley in the role of Marc Antony
The first two, at least as the San Francisco
Bulletin says, stand by themselves ex-
amples of dramatic art, for which there is
at this day no comparison" Booth is the
only Brutus who ever has so refined the
character that when he strikes the deadly
blow of assassination the look of horror
his countenance assumes interprets the
agony of a soul moved to the deed through
conviction of right, yet abhoring the neces-
sity for it. As has well been said Barrett
long ago took Cassius out of the rut and
made the character his own above the claim
of any other living artist. In Othello"
we are to have Booth as Iago, a role that
some of his severest critics put down as the
best he fills, and in which the snbtility of
that remarkable villain of Shakespeare's is
more artistically presented than Booth can
do with any other part of any other dra-
matte character. While this is held by
many, Mr.. Booth himself claims his Ham
let to be the level of his best effort. 1t is
extremely improbable that Mr.. Booth will
ever again visit California, and certainly
never with such a galaxy of ability as now
surrounds him. He and Barrett travel in
a special palace car bearing the name of
the elder Booth, of an era long since gone
into dramatic history.

ENGINEER HALLS DENIAL.

He VIII Appear In the Court to Answer
To-day.
District Attorney Bruner has filed COM
plant against William H. Hall, State Engi-
neer, charging him with a misdemeanor,
under Section 167 of the Penal Code, which
provides that any officer who is authorized
TO give certificate or writing as to the cor.
RICHNESS of any matter under his charge,
and who does it falsely, is guilty OF mis-
demeanor.
Mr.. Bruner received a telegram early
yesterday morning informing him that Mr.
Hall was living in San Francisco and would
be Up last night to answer any charge that
might be preferred against him.
To San Francisco reporter Mr.. Hall
said: My work is done under the direc-
ton OF the Governor. To him have made
written statement of facts in this matter,
and he has announced that he will investi-
gate the charges as soon as he can dispatch
other business that is waiting on him. |
suppose this will be next week. Please say
for me that / have not knowingly done
wrong; that all have done has been with
the object solely of furthering the State
work in my charge; that no one has
done, and that Governor Bartlett was cog
infant of and approved of all that was
done and is now charged as wrong-doing
on my part.
Furthermore, please say that the state
ment made by a newspaper correspondent
that Governor Waterman was or has been
placated by showing him maps of his lands
in process of making or that said any
thing of the kind, is an infamous lie. The
man who wrote it is quite a small man,
physically weak, and has only one arm"
IT is stated on the information of gen.
tleman acquainted with the circumstances
of this case that Governor Waterman mott
fed Controller Dunn ON February 14th of
the irregularities regarding the bills pre-
scented by Engineer Hall, and directed the
Controller not to audit any more of the
bills. Since that time, it is said, no such
bills have been audited. On the dav men,
toned Engineer Hall and Controller Dunn
met with the overnor in his office, and
Mr.. Hall at that time explained the man.
ner in which he had drawn the bills.
From this ii appears that Controller Dunn
knew about the irregularities concerning
the bills some time before he wrote the let
ter to the Attnrney- General, which was
published in the RECoRD-UNIoN Tuesday.

We are showing over a
hundred and fifty styles in
Jerseys. The notifications
that the simple little garment
admit of seem almost infinite.
When the Princess of Wales
in 1879 first introduced the
Jersey it was a perfectly plain
garment. In fact the idea was
taken from a garment for men
that had been in use in Eng
land. A tailor saw its capa-
bilities. He made a garment
which met the approval of the
Princess. He gave her ex-
elusive right to its use for a
month, during which time all
London looked with curiosity.
Then came a deluge of adver-
tlsements, pictures by De
Maurier in Punch, and the ca
reer OF the Jersey as a fash
lonable garment for women
commenced. Paris took up
the fashion the next year, and
ever since it has been reap
pearing each season in a multi
tude of new forms. Latterly
Berlin and Paris have fur
nished the bulk of the ideas
for the novelties such as we
sell from So to $40, although
there are some severely simple
garments that one recognizes
as distinctly English.
AS said before, this seasons
styles in Jerseys are nearly all
new, and we have no doubt
that next fall will see Just as
decided a change in the winter
styles.

Up-Country Hounds.

Coursing matches seem to be reviving,
and many field contests will take place this
spring. Sacramento citizens own num-
Der of good dogs, and in all the contests
lately they have proven winners. On the
LIST of next month eight San Francisco
hounds will be matched against eight from
this city, and will contest near the Twelve
Mile House, on the Auburn road.
The Marysville appeal says: On last Sun
day, at the Bell Farm, in Suffer county.
there were two coursing trials, which drew
a large crowd of the admirers of the sport.
The ground was little caked, and hard on
the hounds feet, but they did well. The
first trial was between John Giblin's ''Sut-
ter Boy and Samuel Bests Swift" best
two out of three, for purse of $50. The
contest was won by Suffer Boy" in two
straight heats. The second contest was be-
tween P. Kerrigan's Erin and c. Kinks
. B. B., for purse of $40. This was won
by Erin in two straight heats. During
the day several other contests were made.
The owners of the winning dogs challenge
any coursers in the surrounding counties.

A Sensible Inquiry.

EDS. RECORD UNION: Will yeu please ask
the public the question as to why that pat
riotic voter, known as Big-Neck Smith,
who is registered here and who voted in
the first precinct of this city at the late
election, has not been arrested and prose-
cuted for illegal voting? Big-Neck is
well-known as resident and voter in San
Francisco; he is one of the professional
repeaters and bull-dozers at elections, and
il appears to me that he is one of the very
first who should be arrested for his felonies,
convicted, and sent to the penitentiary.
A CITIZEN.
Now, that the people of Sacramento
have taken the matter in hand of protect
ing their ballot boxes against San Francisco
DULLES and election repeaters, this case
should have attention and promptly.
" Big-Neck" Smith is one of those whom
the Sacramento bosses import regularly to
help fix matters up in the gallant First and
Second Wards. 1t is the conviction of just
such men as Fitzgerald and " Big Neck "
Smith, and their incarceration in State
Prison for a term of years, if illegal voting
can be proved against them, that will do
more to strike terror among the fraudulent
herd of San Francisco roughs than any
other one thing. Let the good work pro-
coed.

the sidewalks are being graded and prop
