The body of James q. McMuilin of the

Business Of the Grand Parlor.


SACRAMENTO, April 26.-To-day's ses-
sions Of the Grand ParlOr we're not lengthy,
but they were busy. a red-hot issue was
introduced early in the day-that of elm
mating the word white from the consli-
tuition of the order. 1t was brought before
the house by petition from several colored
natives of California, who prayed that
native sons of African descent be allowed
TO form parlors afflliative with the N S.
G. w.
The prime mover. George W. Dennis, a
bright young colored man of San Francisco,
was allowed to come before the grand body.
and he addressed it in one of the most
pointed and Dusiness-like speeches of the
session. The Grand Parlor, however, did
not see the matter as he did, and finally
decided not to change the constitution.
Among resolutions offered was one by
Decker, to restore the odes of 1851; one to
remove the bodies of General Suffer and
his wife from PENNSYLVANIA TO Suffers Fort :;
one to make the bear flag the official en-
blenI, and one to make the Golden State the
official organ. All the official decisions OF
Grand President Flint during the year were
sustained.
In the afternoon the report of the COM
miltee on legislation, Eugene l. Bert. chair
man, was heard, and no amendments of
general interest were adopted. Consider
able discussion took place upon the Observa-
tory Parlor ritual. The majority of the
Grand Parlor seemed fayoraby disposed
toward the floor work. but some division Of
sentiment was apparent with regard TO the
language.

HE HAS MANY WIVES.
Remarkable Career Of a Swindler and
Bigarrist,

Dl%diNlSEs
VICTORIA, B. c., April 26.-In a little
cottage, not far from Jubilee Hospital, this
ely, gentleman known to fame as DR."
REV" Professor" and Lucky" Ham,
mord has been living for three months past,
while enjoying life OF ease and comfort
provided by his last operation in swlndling
a farmer OF Port Hammond, Fraser River,
out of valuable ranch. Hammond is not
alone. for he has an agreeable companion
whom he introduces as his vile, and also a
Japanese girl living with him. Both
might claim relationship rs vile with equal
right, for Rev DR.. Hammond is said to have
gone through marriage ceremony with
both, thus keeping up his reputation as
marrying man which has followed him
round the globe.
In three or four places in America he is
anted for bigamy. and the police are COM
municating with Bruce County. Ontario.
where Hammond was ordained a Baptist
minister; with Franklin Fails n. r.. (; New
Haven. Conn; Boston, Mass. Montreal,
Allentown, Pa; South PGtney, n. Y; In
dian Village, Ind, and Macon, Ca, in each
Of which places Hammond is either guilty
of bigamy or swindling, besides of bail
jumping at Allentown and Macon.
1t is claimed that three wives are living
in the United States, one or two in Canada,
two in South America, one In Melbourne,
Australia, and one eitheri in Yokohama, Hon
0lulu or Auckland. The latter was married
in New Zealand, but followed Hammond to
Japan and then Hawaii. Warrants to ar
rest him are looked for, but it is possible
that though under surveillance, Ham,
mond's luck may not desert him, and be
may again escape.

A HOTEL SENSATION.
Alleged False Charges Brought Against
a Palace Guest,


The Palace Hotel register, about six
months back, bore the name of Miss Y. d.
Hastings Of Paris, France, and rather
handsome lady of about % years took pos
session of one of the front suites on the Sec
ond floor.
Although she never registered under any
other name than that of Miss Hastings, let
tiers and packages were delivered at the
hotel, principally from Europe, addressed
to the ViScountess Vesta Dore Henriot
This and other incidents have given rise to
considerable confusion. and it has become 3
matter of considerable doubt as to who this
lady really is.
The story which the lady herself tells is
briefly to the following effect:
She was born in Charleston, S. c., in
1870, at the residence of hersgrandfather,
whom her parents were then visiting. Her
mother was French lady and her father
Russian. Shortly after her birth her par
ents disagreed and separated, both having
since died.
She received her education in France and
lived there during the major part of her
childhood.
She states that the title which she bears
is inherited. She has.lived her life about
equally in America and in different foreign
countries.
Shortly after her arrival at the Palace n
young man named Carpenter. who is a con-
hrmed cocaine fiend and consequently not
entirely responsible for his actions, began
to pester her with his unwelcome attentions,
which being refused caused him to seek To
be revenged on her.
II may be men toned here that tho Wis.,
countess had taken the name of Hastings
while engaged bp a comedy company, dur
Ing that term of temporary stage madness
which takes most Young women.
Since her residence in California, the
lady has become engaged to marry one
John Bradbury, the son of lately de-
ceased millionaire of Los Angeles, and she
claims that young Carpenter has caused to
be circulated certain untrue reports con-
corning her, his motive being to cause a
dissolution Of her marriage engagement,
and by heaping disgrace upon her to satisfy
his desire for revenge.
The acting manager of the hotel states
that the conduct of Miss Hastings or
Henriot in the hotel has at all times been
above reproach, or suspicion, and that she
is one OF the most desirable guests OF the
house.

silver of the world 1t is claimed that for
eign silver will not come here to be coined.
Then why give an invitation TO an unwlll-
ing guest?
The silver dollar was practically unknown
in the minis of the United States for nearly
thirty years before 1873. Long before sill
yer was legally demonetized it had been
practically obsolete for a third of a GEN.
fury. Only SS,00O,0O0 was coined in the
first eighty-four years of this country's his
tory-not enough for the babies to cut their
teeth on.
1t is not true that there is an intimate
relation between silver, cotton and wheat.
Why is it that so often when wheat is high
cotton is low. and vice versa?
The free coinage of silver in the past was
of such q small amount that it did not
affect finances materially. Therefore free
coinage now is an experiment. You cannot
look to tho past. You are trying an untrod
path. If silver shall prevail we will part
company with the civilized nations OF the
world and sink to the level of the silver
using nations of Asia. The most dangerous
enemy of a free government is the dema-
gogue, He is the enemy of manhood. the
foe of freedom and a traitor to free govern
ment.
Senator Stewart opened his speech at 9,
aud closed few moments after IL o'clock.
He reviewed the history of money from the
earliest day, and declared that the value was
governed by the limitation of quantity and
a desire to have more. Thence he traced
the history Of gold and silver money
to 1873. he reviewed the history of the de-
mOaetization, and how it was done. He
called it a crime aud fraud on the people
ana declared that it was pushed through by
a trick, the modus operandi of which he
explained.
At the close of his speech storm of APP
| plause greeted him.
Silver and statehood for the Territories
| will be the subjects tomorrow.

Arizona Thieves Still Running Away
With Stock.

PREscoTT, Ariz.. April 90 Horsethieves
continue to ply their vocation. as two more
horses are reported stolen last night four
miles from town. An attempt to
steal two others was frustrated by
dog barking and frightening the
thieves away. A posse is in pursuit Of
the thieves who stole several horses Mon
day night and was reported only few
hours behind them last evening. The work
is thought to be done by Mexicans who
have been working on the grade of the S.
T. P. & p. r. r., as circumstances indicate
that it was not done by professional horse
thieves, and no trouble is anticipated in
taking them.
LATER.-Word has just been received
that Sheriff Lowry and posse overlook the
thieves of Monday nights raid twelve miles
beyond Jerome and arrested them, three in
number. one Mexican and two white men.
The horses were recovered. The thieves
who stole the other two horses are thought
to have taken different direction.

THE BRIDE-WIDOW.
Mrs. Chauche a California Born Girl.
An Ardent Suffer-.

There is no mystery about the death-bed
marriage Of Adrian George Chauche the
Front-street liquor merchant The friends
Of the bride-widOw say that. though much
younger than her husband, she had long
been devoted friend Of his and his former
wife. After the death of the latter Chauche
conceived strong attachment for Miss
Marie E. Bon. Her father and he had been
friends all their lives. He was constant
visitor at the Bon house. The first time
Chauehe asked Miss Bon to marry him she
refused him. Her people are possessed Of
ample means. She was born in California.
she did not fancy marrying man so mu h
older than herself, so Chauche's prefer of
marriage was at first unavaiing.
He was a member of the French lodge Of
Masons, but some mont tbs ago withdrew
from the order so as to remove one obstacle
10 his union with Miss Bon, when she
finally consented to marry him.
1t is not at all likely that the young
widow Will be allowed t. obtain possession
of the Chanche estate, which is valued at
100000, WITHOUT having 10 fight the heirs
of the deceased nephew aud niece
who now reside In France. The bulk of his
fortune he bequeathed TO the young
woman, who was the chief mourner at the
funeral which took place on the day orig
