LONGEVITY IN THE DESERT.
Aged Mission Indians, Among Whom Is One
120 Years Old.

Aged Mission Indians, Among Whom Is One
120 Years Old.
Deputy United States Marshal Ralph
Dominguez, of Los Angeles, tells the San
Diego Union a very strange tale of the
extraordinary longevity of some Indians
upon whom he served some papers recent
ly.
Five Mission Indians were subpenaed
to testify in a case wherein the govern
ment is plaintiff. The point involved is
as to whether Or not the Indians shall be
maintained in the possession of the Pot
zero reservation, which comprises $4,000
acers of the finest land in southern Cal
ifornia. The five Indians in question
were wanted to testify as to how long they
had had possession of the reservation,
and their ages ranged from eighty to 120
years. Mr.. Dominguez found them in
the Yuma desert, about ten miles the
other side of Indio.
The eldest of the quintet was Juan
Sabichi, who had been on earth one
hundred and twenty years. Francisco
Apache was aged one hundred and fifteen
years. Juan Largo had only lived one
hundred years. Juan Cohulla was born
ninety-ive years ago. The youth of the
party was Chief Cabazon, who had only
recollected of seeing eighty summers
pass.
Juan Sabichi and Franscisca Apache
recollect of the commencement of the
work on the mission at Potrero, which, as
historical fact, was built one hundred
and ten years ago. They both assisted
in the construction of the antique temple,
as they carried adobe and in that way
aided in the work. On account of their
extreme age they can hardly walk now,
but all things considered they are quite
"chipper."
Franscisca Apache was married four
teen years ago, when he was over one
hundred years old. In honor Of his union
to an Apache woman, WAC on the occasion
was blushing bride of sixty summers, he
added tc his name the name of the tribe
his wife was a member of.
Four years ago the father of Chief Cab
lion died at the advanced age of one
hundred and forty years, and then his son
succeeded to the craftsmanship. These
extraordinary instances of the longevity
of the Mission Indians, who number
about six hundred. speak a great deal for
the climate of the Yuma desert, where
during all this time they have lived I'M

THEY HATE GUZMAN BLANCO.

Venezeula's Late Dictator Does Not Stand
Much Chance of Regaining His Lost Power.
Recent events in Caracas go to prove
that the hostility of the people to the
continued dictatorship of Guzman Blanco
is Just as violent, and that the repudia-
ton of his authority by the Government
is just as complete, as it was during the
exciting scenes described in my last let
ter. In fact, the communications that
have passed between this city and Paris
have done as much as the transactions
here to widen the breach.
1t has now become known that lmmed1-
ately after the insults offered to his stat.
ues on the 9th of April, and the refusal
of the Government to punish those re-
sponsible therefor, Guzman Blanco sent
one of his best known and trusted lieu
tenants to incite revolution for the
overthrow of President Paul. The man
selected was formerly Governor of
the Federal district of Caracas, and pos
sessed wide acquaintance throughout
the country. He is desperate and
determined character, and was we'll sup
piled with funds. But the Government
was fortunately forewarned of his coming,
although the information was gained
phreley by accident, and upon his landing
he was arrested and escorted out of the
country, after being warned thlt if he re-
turned he would be shot.

HEADGEAR OF ROYALTY.
Al Partisan Modesto Recounts the Fancie

Al Partisan Modesto Recounts the Fancies of
Some of Her Titled Patrons.
I number great many royal ladies
among my customers. For instance,
have furnished for years past the hats
and bonnets worn by the princesses of
the Orleans family. The Comtesse de
Paris dresses in a severe and simple style,
and always wears round hats-never bon
nets. Her hats are small and of special
variety of the toque shape, which is pre-
pared purposejy for her. Dark brown
and black are her favorite colors. Her
married 6aug hter, the Duchess de Bra
ganza, shares her mothers simplicity of
taste. The Duchess de Charities, the sis
ter-in-law of the Comtesse de Paris, is
one of the most elegant royal ladies ia
Europe. She is famed for her graceful
carriage, and it has been said OF her that
to see her sit down was in itself a lesson
ia grace. Her usual style of headgesr is
the capote bonnet in black and gold or
cream white and red, all Of which colors,
com bination of colors, are very becoming
to her. Her daughter, the Princess
Waldemar of Denmark, prefers style Of
headeear which is gotten up especially
for her. It is of the toque shape il front,
curving down at the hack in som ething
of the pote form. She likes straight,
nigh trimmings set in front of the crown,
never wears strings, and particularly dis
likes hanging ends, whether of ribbon or
lace. AS she has a fresh, fair complexion,
she delights in delicate shades of pale
blue or silver gray.
The Empress of Russia has been for

some years past one of my customers.
Like her sister, the Princess of Wales,
she never wears high-crovned or large
brimmed hats, which, indeed, would be
uns1lted TO the delicate type OF her
beauty. Everything must be small and
neat and compact, whether hat or bonnet.
Her favorite colors are blue and manve,
and several of the new shades of green,
such as Nile reed and varnish green,
which last is the newest color yet produc-
ed this season.
Her sister-in-law, the Grand Duchess
Vladimar, who was Princess of the
Ducal House of MeckIenburg-Schwer
is one of the royal leaders of the Europ-
can fashion, being extremely stylish in
manner and possessing infinite taste in
dress.
have just carried out for her an ides
of her own, which was to combine in a
toque crown in real seal-skin with
trimming of white silk gauze. This IN
ion of the fur and gauze of dark brown
and white, was daring and novel, and
perfectly successful. She delights in
wearing flowers, her favorites being
chrysanthemums and violets.
The wife of her second brother, for
merly the Princess Elizabeth of Sake
Wilman also has much taste in dress.
Just at present she is restricted to black
and white, as her husband is cousin of
the Emperor of Germany, and she is still
in slight morning for the Emperor Fred
erick. She wears compact capotes, with
close bordering and strings, the bow under
the throat being very becoming to her.
When she was married three yeara ago, 1
furnished the bonnets and hats of her
trousseau, comprising some thirty in all,
Every costume was made with hat to
match, and every carriage, or reception,
or theater dress, had the bonnet to CORE
spond in materials as well as in color.

English Cocoa Manufacturer.
The late John Cadbury of cocoa fame,
was for many years g familiar figure in
Birmingham streets. He was a Quaker,
and dressed like Quaker, but with
broad-brimmed hat plain black attire.
Born in tie first year of the century and
the son of a nonogenarian, he had eighty
eight years of life. Ending with cocoa
he began with tea and coffee, and now
the great works at Fourneville cover q
large acreage, and give employment to

Cadbury was connected with one of the
most famous Quaker families. His wife
was Priscilla Dsmond, sister of the
famoua Jonathan Dymond, the author of
"The Principles Of Morally" which John
Bright edicted, and TO whose teachings
the great tribune was deeply indebted
and attached. Mr.. Cadbury lived life

A Peculiar Wedding Ceremony.

Princess Louise Sophie of Schleswig-
Holstein's marriage to Prince Frederio
Leopold, son of Red Prince, Frederic
Charles of Prussia, presented several in
terest1ng features. First, the bride was
one of the mos. perfect types Of Teutonic
beauty known in the north of Europe. 1t
was Leopold's father, also, who was the
commanding conqueror of Schlewig-
Holstein in 1867. Then, in the Faokel-
tanZ, or torch dance, an indispensable
conclusion to weddings at the Prussian
court, Herr Won Puttkamer, who had re-
tired from the Ministry of Emperor
Frederic, appeared again as Minister
of State BY special invitation of William.
The Fackeltanz is an odd performance.
The Ministers form the dancing party.
They enter, two by two, holding torches
made of long wax tapers, about the thick
ness of mans wrist. Thsy march in
and around the room, hating and bowling
before the throne, after which the we'd
ding pair rise and gravely follow them to
the sound of Meyerbeer's Fackeltanz
March, round the room. This is repeat
ed by the Emperor and the bride, and
the bridegroom with the Empress, after
which the Ministers hand their torches to
as many pages, VINO lead the way again,
followed this time By the bride between
two partners, the bridegroom similarly
giving his hand to two ladies. This cere-
mony is repeated until the welded pair
have made the circuit of the room with
all the prin,eiy guests, when the ball is
over and the bride and bridegroom
march to their apartments, still escorted
By the Emperor and Empress, the higest
guests, and the torches. At the door the
torches are extinguished. The last Incl
dent of the pageant is when the brides
Mistress of the Robes comes to unfaster
and divide her garter. This is cut as 6
symbol of her submission to her husband
and then all her old carriers are distrib-
uted. In the time of Elector Frederic III
the original garter was cut into small
pieces and given away. The whole cere
mony was over at p. N.

4 California Romance

romance as strange as the leading
incident in TEN Thousand a Year." has
just come to an end in San Francisco
with the decision by the State upreme
Court that Richard Page Jessup, the nat
urel son of Gershom F. Jessup, wealthy
bachelor of San Francisco, is entitled to
his fathers entire estate, although the
son was not mentioned in the WILL
When Jessup, who was well-kno IN man
about town, died three years ago, a will
was fonnd dated eighteed years before,
leaving his entire wealth, $125,000, to his
brother and sisters, most of whom lived
at the East. Before the will could be
probated, however, Attorney Walsh cast a
bombshell into the courS by appearing
with claimant who he declared was the
son of Jessup, and had been recognized
by him as such. This disclosure, and the
story that accompanied it, created a
social sensation, as Jessup vas never
known to nave anything to do with wom-
en-. Proof was furnished that the man
of 40 fell in love with Miss Josie Laudisl
a Sacramento county girl, who was a
student at Mills Seminary. He seduced
her. and, unknown to her family, she
bore a son named Richard Page. The
father provided for both, and had the
boy reared at ranch. The girl married
several years after, wealthy farmer.
When she was dying, six years ago, she
summoned her son, and told him the
secret of his birth. He came here, but
old Jessup would have nothing to do with
him, as the boy was dull INVITED. awkward
and uneducated. When Jessup died the
boy was working as a scullion in pri-
vate hotel, and it was while washing dish
es that his attorney fret gave him hope
of securing his fathers estate. The heirs
made bitter contest, but the Probate
Judge decided for the son, and now, on
appeal, the supreme court afirms this
decision. Young Jessup will get about
$4,000 from the estate. He has devel-
oped great fon1ness for dress and society,
but he casts about as sorry figure at en-
tertainments as ever Tittlebat Titmouse
did, and he is the butt of practical jokes,
