We enjoy rare privileges that others
do not. Ours Is the heritage of glori-
GUS past and present that is ever up
and ready for the future. We are some
thing more than mere workers. We toll
through the early years that our ambi-
tions may bear fruit and bring US honor
and competence when the shadows
will have begun to grow heightened.
There is an individual ambition in us
that makes us the peer of any people on
the globe. We are not content to sit our
lives out working at the footstools of
Others. The mechanic aims to be a mas
ter, the painter an artist, the clerk
merchant, the laborer that he may gain
recognition. And as it is physically so
It is intellectually. In the march tow
ard progress we must keep pace with
the leaders or fall back into medioc-
rity that is utterly Inconsistent with the
spirit of Americanism.
The drones, however, are few indeed.
In the high positions of honor and trust
filed by men lot yet in the zenith OF
their lives, in the well filed classes in
which young men and young women
spend the hours of evening in study, IN
the libraries that are patronized to their
full capacity, aye, and IN the little
library, too, which is the PRIDE of even
the humblest American home, there is
evidence that the parents and their sons
and daughters realize that mind is the
ruling power in this newer and greater
world. We have passed the ruder
stages of our civilization and what best
fits a man to grapple with living issues,
what best enables him to discern i'm
provements, to suggest inventions, to
cope with others whose brains are
their capital that is what tells
in life, and the more varied
the accomplishments the greater the
possibilities. In this connection it is
that we suggest to young men and
strongly recommend the ''Encyclopedis
Britannica /" There is no field in tb'
world of either mental or physical activ
ity it does not cover. 1t is the result O
the critical labor of the best scholars, s
compilation of history, the story of th'
achievements of years, panorama il
which scenes are called up filed with in
formation that no college course ca
give. It is an educa tion in itself.

on the occasion of their annual dinner. It
took the united efforts Of the porters, as
sisted by the police, to eject the rowdies into
the street. Nearly 100 students attended
the dinner, which was gotten up regardless
of expense. and champagne was unusually
abundant the result being that by 10 o'clock
the entire company was in sad condition.
They were noisy and gave vent to their
enthusiasm by smashing dishes. Then one
member about TO leave went to a room for a
change of clothing, and fifty of The students
followed him, shouting ribald songs. They
refused to cease or leave the room when or
deTed, and the police were sent for, aud af-
ter fight they were driven yelling through
the halls to the dinng-room, where they de-
mand' more drink, but it was refused them

A general scrimmage then ensued in
which the boys fought, yelled and kicked.

of the prominent members Of the university

him IN the face. He was carried off sense

batants into the carriages and drove rapidly
away for Cambridge. The uproar awoke
the entire hotel.

THE SEAL FISHERIES.
The Agreement With England Comes Too
Late.

LONDON. May 29.-1n the Commons TO-

seals in Behring Sea for certain period
was introduced. The duration of time dur
ing which seals cannot be captured is not,
however. given in the bill
The Standard, commenting on the Behring
Sea Bill introduced in the Commons to-day.
says: If the bill is an essential portion of
an international arrangement for the gen.
eTal restraint Of the capture of seals it will
be welcome, but if it imposes disabilities on
British subjects, while it leaves the hands
Of American adventurers free, a vast
amount Of explanation will be necessary to
make it palatable tOParliament or The eoun-
try.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Although tits the
belief of officers of the State and Treasury
departments that sufficient time yet remains
IN which to pass an act of Parliament and
effectuaily put into operation the close sea-
son, contrary opinion is taken of the situ-
alton by some persons, who say that the ef-
Tort DOW being made is begun too late.
This opinion is largely based on Canadian
opposition and the possibility that Canadian
influence may be strong enough to delay
parliamentary action notwithstanding Sal
lSbuTy's desire for close season. 1t is I'M

BARONESS IDA.
HOE a San Francisco Girl IDheritS a Noble
Title and Fortune.

BERLIN, May 29.-Miss Ida Green of San
Francisco is the claimant to the title and
estates Of Baroness Won BarnekOw. Mr.
Edwards, United States Consul-General,
ana a NUMBER Of lawyers interested in the
case believe her claim legal, and that
the girPs membership to one of the
proudest families Of Germany is established.
Years ago Baron Karl Won Barnekow, an
officer of the German army after a career of
dissipation fed to America, where after
numerous Yicissi tudes, he became a hotel
runner in San Francisco. travelling unuer
the alias Of Fred Green" While in
this capacity he became acquaini ed
with a girl named Galligan. The
pair lived together though not legally
married, but after the birth Of a
daughter the Baron consented to a mar
Tiage, and at the same time under the laws
Of California made his daughter, though
born out of WedlOck, his legal Issue.
The Baron soon returned to his dissipated
ways, neglected his family and finally de-
serted them. After waiting a number Of
years tie wife applied for a divorce, which
was granted in 1888. Ia the meantime Baron
Won BarnekOw had returned to Germany and
married again without undergoing the for
mality Of a divorce. He died in 1887, the year
before his California wife got her divorce.
His second marriage was therefore Illegal.
Mrs. Green obtained divorce, never .knOw-
ing that her quoDdam husband was dead,
and later on married a sailor named Robin
son. Her daughter. Ida Green, lived with
her and her st-pfathers in poor quarter of
San Francisco
After Baron Won Barnekow's death his
sister. Countess Won Moltke, the wife of
MAJOR IN the army and a near relative Of
the late Field Marshal, having an inkling of
the truth, searched for the missing heiress.
There were some large estates, heavily incum-
bered, however, and with rare nobility of
feeling, the Countess tried TO DO Justice to

legalizalion of Ida as his legitimate child,
and other necessary documents were sent to
Berlin. CUnsul-General Edwards admitted
the story as substantially correct and placed
the matter in the hands of one Of the most
eminent lawyers of Berlin. One important
question involved Is, should the German
or the Californian law regarding the legiti-
macy OF lhe child prevail. Her father died

BARNUM'S CRAVE.
An Attempt Made TO Steal the Great Show
mans Body.

BRIDGEPORT Comm. May 29.-An ex-
tremely sensational story has excited this
city to-day. but how much real foundation
there is for it is difficult to determine to-
night. Early this morning waichmen who
have been guarding the grave Of p. t. Bar
mum say they fell asleep. About o'clock
one of them awoke suddenly ana was
startled on discover ing men with picks and
shOvelS al work near Barnum's grave. In
mediately shots were fired at the robbers,
who hastily ran away, leaving behind them
in their flight only cheap dark lantern.
Charles Bardswell and Mr.. Bowser, conf
dental agents of the Barnum family, have
had detectives at work ON the matter. 1t Is
said that within few weeks the watchmen
were to be discharged, as they were no
longer needed for service, and the theory is
that the men. anticipating an early loss Of
q remunerative occupation, thought the
time opportune to prove the usefulness of
their watch, and fired shots at moment
when some one was passing the cemetery in
the direction of the city, in confidence that
an Immediate sensation would be produced,
their own Importance magnifed and their
places maintained by grateful friends of
the dead man.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Speaking of his
flying machine, which is TO travel 100 miles

nishing house Of Maxim & Nordenfeldt,
says it is awaiting his return from England

various other planes, very much smaller,
which are used for keeping the equilibrium
correct and for keeping the flying machine

WILL BOMBARD.
Insurgents Threaten the City Of
Valparaiso.
The Foreign Governments Will Probably
Interfere.
The Congressional Party Recognized by
BOllVia-An Ascending Witness in the
Mafa Case Captured.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

IoUIQUE, May 29.-The recognition by Bo-
livia Of the Iquique Junta as belligerents was
formally proclaimed to-day. A correspond
ent here of New York paper is responsible
for the statement that Bolivia Is prepared
to extend armed assistance to the Con-
gressionalists on condition that Chile can
Gel the Bolivian debt.
NEW YORK, May %. - The Journals
special cableg ram from London says: 1t is
stated th at the Government to-day cabIed
to Admira Hotham an energetic message
to interfere in even an attempted lombard
ment of Valparaiso by the insurgents. Sec
Tetary Luto of the Chilean legation said to-
day that the legation had received no ad-
vices indicating that a bombardment was
probable.
PARIS, May 29.-Dispatches received here
from Chile state that the insurgents, con-
trary to their promises. now threaten to
lombard Valparaiso. In view of these
tn reats the defenseS of the city are being
hurriedly strengthened. 1t is believed that
foreign powers will intervene should the
insurgents attempt 10 carry out their threat.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Tke State De-
partment has not been officially informed
of any intention on the part of the Chilean
insurgents to lombard Valparaiso as re-
ported from Paris. There is no disposition
on the part of the Government, so far as
can be learned, to intervene in the Chilean
contest, for the meaning of this term, in
diplomatic language. is the siding with one
faction or the other.
If the ins urgentS should attempt to bonn
bard the city ii is more than probable the
foreign Ministers would enter an energetic
protest, based or the fact that the foreign
interests in that city are larger than the
native Chilean interest. In view Of this
large interest it mey be that the protest, if
dlsregarded, may be enforced by the foreign
fleets in Chilean waters. but their action
would be no further than necessary to pro-
tect the lives and property of foreign sub
jects.
