NOT 50 VERY ALARMING.
The State Capitol Building Not Yet
Stolen.
Neither Have the Hobos Raided the
Treasury VaultS-An Exagger-
ated Story.

One of the Bay papers yesterday con-
tanned an alleged account Of the precau-
tions taken to guard the Treasury of the
State from wicked burglars who, not
having before their eyes the fear of the
people who contributed their hard earn
ings to swell the surplus in it's vaults,
presumably looked with covetous eyes
upon the glittering gold piled up therein.
Guards were pictured patroling the cor
ridors, and no one was to be admitted
unless certain mysterious combinations
of knocks were given and answered.
Adjutant- General Allen was supposed to
have the brigade which has its head
quarters here under arms night and day,
and Calling guns commanding the vari-
osis entrances 10 the Capitol, and the
watchmen of the Treasury vault were
represented as having their weapons put
in apple-pie order TO blow the bold burg
lars into the next county as soon as they
entered the ground
When the news of what was going on
in their midst reached Sacramentans
there was a widespread panic. Only the
boldeSt and those whom ineXOrable duty
forced to 90 there daily dared even to cast
these formidable preparations were being
made. Warden Hale of San Quentin and
Warden Aull of Folsom came to town by
telegraph and offered their services to
transport the felons to their granite
abodes as soon as they put in an appear
ance.
Sheriff Cunningham and all the other
Sheriffs telegraphed that they would be
on hand Immediately. 1t looked as if the
Capitol would be turned into military
camp, and Warden Aull even offered to
allow George SOntag to come down and
act as special watchmen of the vault.
Wild rumors ran along the street
that Senator Seymour of San Bernardino
was going to bring a San j ose contingent
up to carry away the eight millions in the
vault and give one million back to buy a
site down there and help build a new
capitol in the Garden City, while the
other seven were to be used TO boom
Southern California.
Secretary Waite, although astonished at
the offers of assistance that poured in,
politely declined them all, saying that he
and Treasurer Mcdonald, who has nearly
recovered from his fit of illness, would
try to take care of the vault with the
present usual force of Watchmen.
The excitement has subsidized and Sac
ramento wears her usual appearance.

Why u Wife Changes Her Name.

Why u Wife Changes Her Name.
1t is said that the practice Of the wife
assuming the husbands name at mar
riage originated from a Roman custom
and became the common custom after
the Roman occupation. Thus Julia and
Octavia, married to Pompey and
Cicero, were called by the Romans
Julia Of Pompey and Octavia Of Cicero,
and in later times married women in
most European countries signed their
names in the same manner, but omit
ted the "of." Against this view may
be mentioned that during the sixteenth
and even the beginning Of the seven
century the usage seems doubtful, since
we find Catherine Parr so signing her
self after she had been twice married,
and we always hear Of Lady Jane
Grey (not Dudley and Arabella Stuart
mot SEYMOUR. Some persone think
that the custom originated from the
Scriptural teaching that husband and
wife are one. 1t was decided in the
case Of Bon VS.. Smith, in the reign Of
Elizabeth, that woman by marriage
loses her former name and legally re-
ceives the name Of her husband.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

How an English Hallway Company
Treats Its EMPLOYEES.

Treats It's Employees.
In a description Of the Stratford
works Of the Great Eastern Railway
company, Er gland, some interesting de-
tails are given of the solicitude extended
towards the employees of the company.
There is an accident fund, to which all
the employees subscribe; q pension fund,
savings bank (optionaD, and a conta-
gious disease fund. The institution of
the three first funds is due to the chair
man of the company; the last is work
mems movement entirely, and an excel
lent one, as it only prevents the de-
prlvalon Of the members means of SUP
port when most needed, but by re-
moving the risk involved by attending
their duties when disease is in their
homes, prevents the spread of infection
among their shopmates. The company
generously covers every subscription to
the accident fund and pension fund with
an equal amount, allows per cent in
terest on savings bank deposits, and
supports science and art institute
and technical school near the works,
which has a library upward Of 1000
volumes. Other privileges are grant
ed by the company to their employees,
every one Of whom, besides having the
right to travel once a week, with any
members of his family residing with
and dependent upon him, to any point
on the system at a fare Of 1-2c a mile,
has three days holiday per annum,
with pay and free passes anywhere
on the company's lines for himself,
wife and members Of his family under
the age Of fourteen.

OF the Vicomte Chateaubriand were on

was night when they neared the coast,
and terrific storm was raging. No
boat could venture to the assistance
Of the crew, and the vessel was wreck

he had reached manhood he desired
that, as his life had commenced sur

the Watch-maker's trade in New York,

studied dentistry for five years. After

to Rockland, where he has been for
thirty-fve years. For half a century
he has not tasted meat, his principal
diet being graham bread and cocoa.
Liquor and tobacco are his pet aver
sions, and his most noticeable peculiar
ity is that he never speaks until spoken
to. He was married in early life, but
his wife died many years ago, and
since then Baynes has lived alone, max
ing a good part of his own clothing,
including his shirts and collars. DR..
Baynes has no living relatives that he
knows of, and his taciturnity is SO
marked that he may be said to be with
out even an intimate friend.

4 Much More Like a Cruiser Than

The HOhenzollern is a magnificent
vessel, and looks more like a cruiser
than q yacht. She is built of steel,
painted white and propelled by twin
screws, connected with a double set Of
engines. Her average speed is nineteen
knots an hour, and, according to the
London Queen, this can be increased to
over twenty knots in the hour. The
Hohenzollern has two wheels, one at
the stern, the other near the bow, the
latter worked by steam, the former by
man power, both being painted white
and gold, with nickel spokes. The
yacht, is armed with eight quick-fring
Krupp guns, and, with her graceful out
lines,Ssits high in the water. She has
yellow, the gilded Imperial German
crown on the Prov, and the Hohenzol-
lern coat Of arms in black and silver,
surrounded by a laurel leaf, on the
stern. The deck is covered with lin
oleum, and over large part there is an
awning, where, in fine weather, the
emperor has luncheon and tea parties.
In the fore part of the vessel is
bridge reserved for the emperor. 1t is
approached by a mahogany stairway
and has mahogany ratings.
The emperor's apartments on the
middle deck amidsLips are on the port
side, those Of the empress and her chill

"Go on" suggested the clerk, en-
couragingly.
1T was up at station on the Flint
& Pere Marquette railroad, where there
is a saw mill and a store or two, and
timber is plenty. There were three Or
four of us, one Of the party, young
Chicago drummer, who was as fresh
as Lake Michigan. He was jollying
everybody, as we were waiting for
delayed train, and at last he tackled
the man who CHI cked the baggage.
"I say he said to him, with 4 wink
at the rest of us, can I get a trunk

"'Certainly, if you've gotta ticket
""That's all right; I've got the ticket;
but checking the trunk is what bothers

insisted the baggageman.
"I:u bet you SIS you won't do it,

The baggageman replied by taking
out a flyer AID putting it in my hands,
and Chicago came up smiling and put
his there, too.
Wait he said to the baggagen1an,
with another wink at me, till 90 back
to the hotel and get it,
Then he disappeared, and in about
ten minutes he pulled up alongside Of
the platform with a team Of cattle
dragging the trunk Of a tree about
twenty-five feet long and two feet in
diameter at it's smallest girth. =
Here you are shouted the Chica-
60 man, with big laugh of triumph;
bring on your check. This is my

II thought and so did the rest of
us, that Chicago had the countryman,
and he looked at himself at first, for
there was no use talking, he could never
get that thing into the car; but he got
his second wind in a moment.
