READY FOR SHIPMENT.
The California Mineral Exhibit to Be
Shipped to Chicago To-Day.

lHC LAhhOft ~ IL
Shipped to Chicago To-Day.
Professor Henry S. burden, curator.
custodian and general acting secretary OF
the California State Mining Bureau. fin
ished his labor yesterday of packing the
mineral exhibit designed for exhibition at
the Worlds Fair.
The professor has been engaged In the
work of packing the meteorological speci-
mems for some weeks and only finished yes
terday. The exhibit will be shipped to-day
or tomorrow. as it will take some time to
unpack the collection. there being so many
small specimens in the exhibit.
The greatest care had to be exercised in
the packing in order to prevent the de-
struction of any of the fine specimens In
transportation to Chicago. When a mineral
exhibit from the Mining Bureau was
shipped some years ago from California to
the exposition at New Orleans there were
many of the specimens destroyed and many
more lost. When the collection was re-
turned to this city 1t was in very different
condition from that in which 1t was when
first shipped. Care has been taken that
there will be no repetition OK this destruc-
tiOn and loss
Professor burden said yesterday that the
exhibit TO be sent to Chicago to-day was the
best collection that could be obtained in the
State 1t comprehended all the mineral
resources of the State, and would exceed
the Colorado collection both in extent,
beauty and variety. He said that greater
care would be taken of the Chicago exhibit
than was taken of the one sent to New
Orleans. AS soon as the exhibit reached
the city by the lake the minerals would be
unpacKed and placed in fine glass cases,
which have been already prepared.
Among the specimens Is fac simile Of
the famous $4,000 bar of gold weighing
over 400 pounds. which was not only the
last bar cast by the North Bloomfield Com
pany before the cessation Of hydraulic
mining, but which was the largest bar of
gold ever cast in the world
Miner alogist Crawford. the new ap-
pointee of Governor Markham, has not yet
taken his place. 1t is not thought that
there will be many changes in the official
personnel of the Office, as most of the APP
pointments are subject to the control of the
board of directors of the State Mining
Bureau. The State Mineralogist generally
has the appointment of all his field dep
utes and the like, but the main Offices are
beyond his control. AS there has been no
change In the board of directors. it is not
thought that any Of the present officers will
be removed.

LoweII's Old Home.

The telegraph has already announced
that Lowell's late home in Cambridge Is to
be preserved as a permanent memorial of
the poet. The Boston Advertiser saws:
This house is one Of the best specimens of
Colonial architecture, and it's surroundings
make Its situations most beautiful. Here
was the home of Elbridge Gerry, and here
he was visited by committee Of 1000 citi-
zens oil Boston when he had Incurred the
popular displeasure. This house and the
old Craigie house are the two best
specimene of the Colonial architecture
that survive in this locality. and they
are OF historic importance on that account.
Besides that. the house stands now very
much as Lowell left it. Many OF the in.
left them. especially his books. It is said
that, without the lot upon which the house
stands, the property could be bought for

NAPTHALY CONVICTED.
He Was Found Guilty of Having
Helped A. Stroh to Escape.

Judge Trout and jury were occupied
most OF yesterday in hearing the evidence
in the case of Benjamin F. Napthaly on a
charge of aiding Adam Stroh, prisoner
awaiting trial, TO escape from custody at
the City Prison.
The offense Is punishable with ten years
imprisonment and fine Of $4,000.
Naprhaly appeared to have plenty of
friends and WELL wishers, though he was the
only witness for the defense.
Prosecuting Attorney Walter Hinkle, at
the commencement OF the case. said that,
acting under the advice Of District Attorney
Barnes, he had turned the prosecutions
case over to w. A. Beatty. as he himself
had known Napthaly so long and so we'll
that he could not bear to prosecute him.
Clarence Gray, l.. III. Carpenter, j. j.
Fogarty. G. BacigaIupi. P. Nj. Donougn,
j. w. Shields, John PARROT, A. A. Watson
and Fred Williams testified for the people.
Napthaly did not deny that Stroh escaped
by giving an order OF discharge purportng
to have been signed by Ambrose Watson,
then clerk Of a police court, but which
was in fact not signed by him. Nap
thaly urged, however. that he had intended
to put In bond In the morning, and that
the practice referred to was common one
before the present EZRA OF reform" in the
Police Courts had set Ia.
The jury retired at p. NJ. and In fifteen
minutes returned with verdict of guilty.
He was ordered into custody, but at the re.
quest OF his counsel was allowed to remain
on bail until Saturday

test?" was asked hundreds Of times yes
terday by schoolboys and schoolgirls all
over the State as they loitered or walked in
twos, threes and groups before and after
school hours.
Many youthful heart beat a little quicker
at the thought, and many student felt the
stirring glow of a new ambition.

time THE CALL will have paid out good
deal of gold to reward the deserving victors
in this series OF contests
Teachers are taking an interest in the
contest, too. There is not teacher in the
State who will not encourage any of his
pupils who are brave and hopeful enough

feel proud of the victory. too.
The subject ch 0sen for the essays Is one

Crowned After Death.

A French Princess is said to have been
crowned after death. This was Ipez de
Castro. who was murdered In the Four

lady was the wife of Portuguese Crown
Prince. and she was murdered by order of
the king-her father-in-law. The Prince
never spoke TO his father again. and when
the old man died the remains Of Inez were
lifted from the grave, placed upon mag

The statement published in the
daily papers Of recent date stating
the state was out Of cash with
which to pay her bills and that the
administration was confronted with
vast deficit now and prospectively a

exaggerated. The people of this
state are greatly pressed in money
matters and doubtless for that
reason have put off and will con.
time to put off the payment of
their taxes until the latest date pos

there is no declaration in this plat.
