The amended answer of the directory to
the statement of Attorney Milchrist that
the directory had received souvenir coins
after it knew that congress had withdrawn
5000. 600 was presented in the United States
court and is in effect that the only knowl-
edge had of the withdrawal was through
the public press and that what construc-
tion would be put on the act was not
known until late in April. Speeches were
made for the government by eX-Solicitor
General Aldrich, Da, id Fales and flames
L. High. Attorney Walker spoke for tn g
directory. The government argument
generally was that the fair was national
matter only and that Chicago was "not
in it.n while the attorneys for the direc-
tory insisted that Chicago and Illinois was
the controlling power. The case will go to
the judges today.
The Editors Were Too Fresh.
1t seelns evident that the governor of
Minnesota has come to the conc fusion that
the editors from that state who took it
upon themselves TO dedicate the state
building a few weeks age We're "too fresh"
Everything had been arranged for another
and official dedication, but the governor
called off all arrangements and refused to
attend. He wrote to the commissioners here
saying that inasmuch as the editors had
dedicated Mime sota's building he did not
approyHofsslother ceremony. He did not
say ffn3el* s,58t he gave the board
understand that he would not attend This
latter was before the board and ac-
cording to the desire of Governor Nelson
the building was opened without ceremony
and is now unoiiicially dedicated. The
commissioners are not saying much about
the affair They understand that the gov
ernor is offended, but; following his eX-
ample, they are not talking.
California Has No Ceremonies
According TO the California idea the
dedication of state buildings is now so
passe that to indulge in a ceremonial of
this nature is to unconsciously remain in
the old rut and combat all Innovations
So the menifrom the Golden State decided
to do away with any official functions and
open their building without show. The
quaint and spacious building was crowded
all day with visitors who found among
the exhibits many things which they
could see nowhere else on the grounds
Although the display of California pro-
ducts. manufactures and works of arts is
large there is more space given to Cali
fornia in the horticultural building alone
than the whole state building occupies.
In this way the Golden Gate state comes
to the front with double display. There
was an informal luncheon in the building
at which National Commissioners De
Young and Macdonald, State Commits
sioners Phelan and Murray and Secretary
Wells among others were present.
The Event of the Evening.
The formal opening of the Electricity
building, which has been so long deferred,
took place at night. The feature of the
display was the unwilling and lighting of
the big Edison tower, erected by the Gen.
eral Electric company. This shaft is situ-
ated in the exact center of the building, and

JEWISH BLOOD IN ROYAL VEINS
A Semitic Strain Found in Many Reignins
European Families.

A remarkable feature in connection
with the ancestry of all the reignine
houses of Fdrope is the fact that nearly
every one of them has strains of Sc
mite blood in the veins of its members
Alberta, queen of Sicily, from whom
almost every one of the now reigninl
families is descended having been
daughter of the old Hebrew banker
Porleoni, who was the first of his rae,
to be admitted to the ranks of the Flu
ropean aristocracy, Pope Leo IN. en-
nobling him in the year 1116. Later OF
one of his sons who became converted
to the Roman Catholic church assembled
to the papal throne under the title o
Anacletus III. This, however, by nj
means constitutes the only source o
Jewish blood in the royal and imperia
veins of to-day. There are others of
far less remote character. Thus, King
Ferdinand of Portugal, the grandfather
of the present king, had, himself, al
grandfather, Hungarian Hebrew
named Kohary. whose daughter ant
heiress married Prince Ferdinand o
SAKE Coburg. King Carlos of Portuga
is therefore of individually Jewish de
scent, and so, too, is Prince Ferdinand
of Bulgaria, whose features are re
markably IIebraic, and who is grand
son of old Kohary's heiress
second of the latter's grandsons
Duke Phillip of Sage-Coburg, is welded
to the eldest daughter of King Leopold
of Belgium, while third, Augustus by
name, married a daughter of the late
Emperor Dom Pedro eof Brazil. II ],
one of the granddaughters of the Ko
harry heiress who is welded to tn,
Archduke Joseph of Austria, while an
other has become the wife Of Duk,
Macmillan of Bavaria, the brother o
the EN- press of Austria and of the eX
queen of Naples. Queen Victoria's ia
vorite son -in-law, Prince Henry of Bat
tenb erg, is a great-grandson of con
verted Jew named HauSe, establishe'
in Poland, and whose son won his wa
into the favor of the Grand Duke Con
stantine OF Russia.
And apropos of this Jewish descent
let me add in conclusion the astonish
ing fact that the country which is dis
tinguished above all others for its ami
mosities toward the Jewish race
namely, Rus sia-is precisely the on,
where the strain of Hebrew blood il
the strongest in the blue blood of it,

Much has been said lately concerning
the infection conveyed through flies.
According to the Hospital cats can now
stand arraigned on a similar charge, as
offenders equally unwittingly and
equally dangerous. Quite recently a
household was laid low with scarlet
fever due to the contagion brought by
domestic pet which had been in the
room of its owner. who was recovering
after an attack of fever. Diphtheria
and smallpox have also been spread
through cats in this manner, and IL
would be well for the community at
large if persons affected with conta-
gious diseases would keep these par
ticular disseminators of infection clear
of their presence. -London Telegraph.
