system. Her brain is still unaffected. The
widespread craze over her poems has also
had its effect. No one supposed that they
would have attracted extraordinary atten-
tion but for the name attached to them and
tho personality behind the name. The
furoI they occasioned was the Juror OF any
fad, and it Is dying away.
"She was very peculiar child-passion-
ate, unyielding, reserved in character. Her
own recollections reach back to her third
year. At that age the little girl was taken
to stay with her godmother, Queen Eliza
beth Of Prussia, at Berlin. Then the i'm
aginative little girl fonded all the footstools,
sofa-cushions and holsters with the greatest
care, pretending they were children. One
feet OF the Queen, which were resting on a
footstool, placed them roughly on the
ground, and with the exclamation, You
must not stand on my child! she carried
the footstool off. Her first question to
strangers generally was, Have you chill

The judgment of the people of Roumania
is the proper one to pass upon Carmen
sylvia. The woman, not the poetess; the
woman, not the Queen. 1t was the woman
hood appearing in heart and intellect that
has made her so popular with politicians.
To all alike she has always been the same.
and that, as every one knows. is not the
way to success 1t is a pity that Carmen
could have had such loving mother and
the world such a free example of mother
hood The only child of Elizabeth and
Charles of Roumania was Marie, who died,
aged years. in 1874. The little girl was
particularly bright and bade fair to be like
her mother. The blow was a hard one for
the Queen to bear, but she never COM

" THE INTERNATIONAL GUIDE" /"
Notice About Something for Which None,
Ua

Notice About Something for Which Money
Is Given.
1t appears that an individual named N. J.
Weaver is soliciting subscriptions for some-
thing which he styles "The International
Guide, to be published in the English, Ger
man, French, Spanish and Italian lam
guages by The Morning Call and California
Demokrat"
What the international Guide" is, is not
clearly understood by persons who have
paid 81 each and received receipt signed
"W. II. Mccarthy" but it is fact that it is
not a publication gotten out under the
auspices of THE MORNING CALL or apy one
connected with it.
In conversation with representative of
the California Demokrat yesterday it was
ascertained that that journal Is not in any
way connected with the publication Of the
international Guide" ''What it is" said
the representative of the Demokrat, mo one
in this Office knows. Ali that is known is
that some time ago man named Weaver
called here and stated that he wanted to Sc
cure two columns Of space in our paper for
the purpose of inserting a certain class Of
advertisements. But he has never inserted
the advertisements, and lately we have been
asked by several persons what the Inter
national Guide is"
From this it would appear that N. ].
Weaver, assisted by ID. I'll. Mccarthy, is
obtaining money from people under the
pretenso that they will be furnished a pub
lcatinD, issued by THE MORNING GALL
and the California DemOkrdt. If these par
ties issue any kind of guide, the public Is
Informed that it does not emanate from

CHARLES OF ROUMANIA.
A Brief Sketch Ct Carmen SylVl, His
Unfortunate Queen.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-Fr0m Vienna comes
the information that King Charles Of Rou-
mania is virtually the prisoner of his own
Ministers, and that scheme is on foot to
drive him TO abdication.
The Ministry favors Russia and believes
that with King Charles off the throne they
could better carry out their schemes for the
Russianization of the Kingdom as tool in
the hands of the Gar. King Charles las
strong bold on the loyalty and the devotion
of the Roumanians. This caunot be said of
the Crown Prince, who is not the Kings
son, but the son of his brother, introduced
from Germany as heir to the throne. The
overthrow of King Charles would mean the
overthrow of his dynasty and the virtual
substitution of a Russian protectOrate. AS
King Charles belongs to a branch of the
German imperial family it is not likely that
the German Emperor and his ally, Franz
Josef, would view with Indifference the de-
thronement of HohenzOllern.
On the 18th of November. 1869, King
Charles of Roumania married the roetess
Queen, Carmen Silva. She was born on
December 9. 1913. her father and mother be-
ing the Prince and Princess of Wied. The
instincts that make her life what it is early

passion for poetry. says the Mail and EX-
press, and sitting on the knee of the vener-
able German poet, Ernst Moritz Arnold.

She began to write poetry for herself when
only 8 years old, and she has kept it up to
the present time. Her education she re-

MURDER IN HER HEART.
Lille Burns Tries to Shoot FickIe John
Steffens.

Lille Burns Tries to Shoot FickIe John
Lille Burns gnashed her teeth in cell at
the Southern Station last night and was
furious because an attempt by her to COM
nit murder had failed. John Steffens,
bar-keeper, employed at the corner of First
and Brannan str cts, was the object of her
wrath, and he shook hands with himself
over the fact that he was not corpse.
Lille is a rather prepossessing blonde,
and five times has she attempted to end her
existence. She has taken poison, shot at
herself and jumped out of a second-story
window, but each time her efforts at self
destruction were folled by the treatment of
the Police Surgeon. The cause of all her
misery is Steffens.
Six years ago she first met him, and some
years later his smooth tongue and false
promises induced her to deviate from the
path of virtue and desert home and friends.
1t was when he showed a marked affection
for other women that she tried To commit
suicide.
Having for some months treated her
rather coolly she laid in wait for him at the
cornsr of Second and Brannan streets last
night. and when he passed along she pre-
sented a self-cocking Smith & Wesson pistol
at him and pulled the trigger very bard.
Something was the matter with the lock,
and the hammer would not descend.
While she was nervously trying second
tune to discharge the weapon Steffens made

FATAL COLLISION.
The Los Angeles Express Run
Into by a Freight Train.
William Harney Of San Francisco Killed.
Several Passengers Wounded.
Meager Details.

Late last night dispatch was received in
this city announcing that collision between
the Los Angeles express and freight train
occurred at point west of Girard. The
conductor OF the express sent the following
dispatch to Superintendent Fillmore:
l stopped at the east end of Tunnel Is.
There was slide at the west end. sent a
brakeman back to flag any trains approach
ing. While standing there with the
engine 1t started. and before
could have it stopped it ran
into a slide, and pushed Into Tunnel H.
The engine exhausted all the steam and
water in doing this. We had to get water
and refill, and before we could start No. 2
was onto US. My fagman had not been
called in."
William Harney, the manager of the
Golden Gate WoOlen-mills, was standing on
the platform between two slespers and was

A wrecking train and three doctors have
gone to the scene of the accident.
Owing to the lateness of the hour no fur
ther details could be obtained.
The flagman who was sent back to flag
the freight evidently did not do his
duty, for the heavy train went on
and crashed into the rear of the
passenger train. The express would have
gotten out OF the way had not the steam in
the engine become exhausted.
The track was blocked after the collision,
but about 2:3o A. NJ. the passengers were

FLAVIN'S CREDITORS.
Another Set of Them Make a Legal
Move in the Superior Court.

Some time since, as has already been an
nounced, some of the creditors of NJ. J.
Flayis filed pc ttion in the Superior Court
to have him declared an involuntary insol-
vent. Immediately after these proceedings
an attachment WAS placed upon the store to
secure the claims of the petitioners, amount
Ing in the aggregate to s1l,5O0. This at
tachment might be raised at any time if any
one saw fit to assume these debts and pay
the amounts due; then the property could
be disposed of by Sheriff's sale.
Yesterday several creditors of Mr.. Fla
vim who were not included in the petition
first filed, and whose claims amount in the
aggregate to S2i02, filed petition in the
Superior Court to have Mr. Flavin declared
an involuntary insolvent, and ask the
court to fix time and place when and
where he shall appear and show cause, If
any, why he should not be adjudged insol-
vent, and ask for a surrender of the estate
for the benefit of his creditors, and that no
creditor whose debt is prOvable be allowed
TO prosecute to final Judgment any action
therefor against the debtor until the ques-
ton of discharge shall have been deter

ARID LANDS.
Irrigation Convention at Salt
Lake City.
4 Large Number Of Delegates Present
From the Pacific Coast.
Great Interest Taken In The Proceedings.
Able Address Of Welcome by The
Governor Of Utah.
Special TO THE MORNING CALI

SALT LAKE, Sept 15.-The Irrigation
Congress was called to order at II; 80 o'clock
to-day, about 400 delegates being present.
Governor Thomas on behalf Of Utah well
coined the delegations in somewhat ex-
tensive speech. in which he referred to the
fact that the Mormon settlers in 1S47 had
begun the first system Of irrigation in
the West That act on their part
had laid the foundation for the
prosperity of Utah and other Western
States and Territories. This coupled with
the fact that Salt Lake City is the center of
the great arid region of the United States
made this city a place where the body
should meet. The speaker referred to
the ceding of the arid lands TO the
States and Territories, and said that
as Congress would doubtless consider
the question. it would be we'll to
consider the best means to be adopted in
presenting the measure to Congress. and
the most expedient suggestions to offer that
body when the plan had been perfected. The
Congress- he thought, would be the great
educating meeting. Few people in the East
the West, and this would enlighten them to
great extent.
The; tide of emigration which has been
drifting westward has now turned and Is
going east. The great arid regions of the
United States are being settled upon. and
the question is, How shall We make the lands
habitable? The speaker spoke of reServing
the great grazing ranges, and said this
should be held in tracts of limited value
under carefully guarded provisions of the
law. The area of Utah under cultivation Is
2,304, 600 acres, about per cent of 81, ,6O1, GOO
acres, the total area. About 100000 acres
cannot be used. except portion Of it for
grazing. He believes this Congress would
greatly influence legislation in behalf OF the
West
The Mayor and President of the Chamber
of Commerce also delivered addresses. The
permanent officers were chosen-C. G.
Wright of California being selected as Pres
ident and F. 4. Gillespie Secretary.
Wright delivered short speech on
the matter of ceding arid lands
to the State or Territory in which
they were situated and the best means to
suggest to Congress for so doing; also the
best methods of irrigation to be suggested.
At the conclusion it was decided to appoint
a committee to memorialize Congress and
Thursday was set aside as a special order
for preparing the memorial.
