NEW GUARDIAN NAMED
A SAN JOSE COURT HAS
GRANTED TREADWELL'S
PETITION.

HIS SUCCESSOR G. Y. BoLLINGER,
THE PERSONAL FRIEND OF
THE HEIR.
NO SENSATIONAL FEATURES.
SPECTATORS DISAPPOINTED THAT
JUDGE REYNOLDS REQUIRED
ONLY FITNESS.
NO SENSATIONAL FEATURES.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 23.-On petition
of James P. Treadwell, son of the late
millionaire, James Treadwell, Judge Rey-
nolds to-day made an order removing E.
w. Clayton as guardian of his estate, and
G. Y. BolIinger, young Treadwelps per-
sonal guardian, was appointed in his
stead.
1t was expected that there would be
some sensational developments in the
case, but the spectators were disappointed.
James P. Treadwell took the stand and
testified that Clayton had withheld rea-
sonable allowances from him and had re-
fused to pay bills that had been passed
upon as correct by Mr.. Bollinger.
Judge Reynolds ruled that the line of
procedure was out of place, and that the
inquiry would proceed further only as to
the question of the fitness OF Mr.. Bollin-
ger to act as guardian of the estate. Judge
Reynolds held that the yonng man had a
right to nominate his own guardian, and
he might name different ones for his per-
son and his estate or the same guardian
in both capacities.
Several witnesses were examined as to
the business qualification of Mr.. Bollinger,
after which Judge Reynolds made the or
der, fixing the bonds at $25, 900.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. pa suit of eject

against Moses ]. Church by the Seventh

still holds possession of the Adventists'
house OF worship, he and his wife living in

He has not changed from his attitude of
last Saturday, when he met the members
OF the congregation at the door with club
IN hand and two savage dogs at his side
and made dire threats if any one should
attempt to set foot within.
The congregation is determined to re-
gain possession of thu building. In the
complaint it is alleged that Mr.. Church
secured and holds possession through
force and violence, and that he has no law
full right to the possession of the building.
but that the congregation should be in
possession.
Shortly after the suit was filed Under
Sheriff Berry went to the church to serve
the papers on the defendant, but Mr..
Church had seen the officer coming and
locked every door in the building. The
officer spent half an hour pounding on the
doors, but received no response. Berry
finally gave the job up as bad one.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct 23.-Zoie de Young
has begun suit for divorce from Henry de
Young on the ground of extreme cruelty.
The couple were married in 1888 and since
that time they have resided in Santa Clara.
During the past two or three years they
have not enjoyed very peaceful life. The
husband says his wife was continually Wis
iting in the neighborhood, and that when
he returned from his days labor he had to
prepare his own meals. This soon beca me
tiresome to De Young, and he took one of
the children and came to San Jose, where
he obtained employment in fruit cannery.
While De Young was at work yesterday
afternoon Mrs. de Young went TO the place
where he roomed and took the child away
with her. This aroused the anger of the
father and he applied to Justice Goss for a
warrant charging his wife with kidnaping
the child. Justice Goss told him the Su-
perior Court was the place to begin pro-
ceedings to recover the child, and he said
he would at once sue for divorce, In the
meantime Mrs. de Young had commenced
her suit.
There is no community property to fight
over, but bitter war will be waged for the
custody of the two children.

SUN AND MOON.
Couple of Interesting Folklore Stories
Concerning Those Luminaries.

A Couple of Interesting Folklore Stories
Concerning Those Luminaries.
The most touching of all folklore
stories may be found in Charles f.
Lummis' Pueblo Folklore" 1t is one
of the many myths of the moon aud
beautifully conceived. The sun is the
Allfather, the moon the Allmother,
and both shine with equal light in
the heavens. But the Trues, the SUI
perior divinities, find that man, the
animals, the flowers, weary of con-
stant day. They agree to put out the
Allfather's-or sun's-eyes. The ALI
mother-the mooc-offers herself as
sacrifice. Blind me-" she says, ''and
leave my husbands eyes" The Trues
say: 1T is good, woman" They aes
cept the sacrifice, and take away one
of Allmothcr's eyes. Hence the moon
is less brilliant than the sun. Then
man finds rest at night, and the flowers
sleep. In Mrs. Leiber Cchen's trans
lation of Sacher Masoch's Jewish
Tales" there is variant of the sun and
moon story derived from the Talmud.
Briefly told, the sun and moon are
equally luminous. 1t is the moon who
wants to be more brilliant than the
sun. Diety is angered at her demand.
Her light is lessened. 1.-THE moon
grew pale. Then God pitied
her, and gave her the stars for COM
panions."

They drifted down the hall together,
He smiles in her lifted eyes;
Like the waves of that mighty river,
The strains of the Danube" rise;
They float on its rythmic measure.
Like leaves on summers stream;
And here in this scene of pleasure,
bury my sweet, dead dream.
Through the cloud of her dusky tresses,
like a star, shines out her face.
And the form his stlOng arm presses
Is sylphlike in its grace.
AS leaf on the bounding river
Is lost in the seething sea.

My dream is lost to me.
And still the viols are playing
That grand old wordless rhyme;
And still those two are swaying
In perfect tune and time.

III the clarinets that blow,
Were given voice to utter
The secret things they know.
Would the lists of the slain who slumber
On Danube's battle plains.
The unknown hosts 0utnumber
Who die meath the "Danube's" strains
Those fall where the cannons rattle,
Mid the rain of shot and shell;
But those in a fiercer battle,
Find death in the musics swell
With the rivers roar of passion
Is blended the dying groan;
But here in the halls of fashion,
Hearts break, and make no moan
And the music, swelling and sweeping
Like the river, knows 1t all;
But none are counting or keeping
The lists of those who fall

The worlds Money.

According to the report of the
Director of the Unitid States Mint
there is in the world, as near as it
is possible to ascertain, SO, 727, 0l8,
1863, in gold and s3,S20,571,3 ,346, in
silver. Added together there are,
or were before silver was demone-
tized, 81, ,547, ,59O,215. This consti-
tuted the redemption money of the
human family in 1873. England de-
monetized silverin 1916; the United
States and Germany in 1873; France
and the Latin countries in 1874; The
mints of India were closed to silver
in 1898 By depriving silver of its
money function a little more than
half of the money Of final redemp-
ton is blotted out of existence.
Silver became simply a token
that must be redeemed in gold. In
what condition are individuals,
associations, municipalities, states
and nations which are largely in
debt when half of the lawful money
has been disfranchised?
1t is true that silver money, like
the copper cent, the nickel and the
bank note, still circulates, but they
are not money, but only promises
to pay, and must have redeemer.
Gold must not only perform its
own work, but must bear the burden
borne for many centuries by its COM
panion and helpmate. When $3,7-
27,04S,369 must perform the ex-
changes hitherto transacted by 81,
547 ,390,215, it will not be difficult
to understand that low wages for
labor, cheap manufactures, bank
ruptcies, financial disasters and ruin
are in store for the people. Twenty
five billions of debt become prac-
tically fifty billions. Mortgaged
farms will change hands, and many
who are in comfortable circumstan-
ces will become tenant farmers.
God pity all who are in debt to the
amount ofone third of the appraised
value of their property.-C'ne'nndf'

WOMEN WHO WRITE.
A Delightful Comparative Study with the
Writing Man.

Delightful Comparative Study with the
Writing Man.
When a man writes he wants pomp
and circumstance and eternal space
from which to draw. If he writes at
home, says the Boston Advertiser,
he needs a study or library, and he
wants the key lost and the keyhole
pasted over SO that no one can disturb
him. His finished products are of much
wonders why the planets have not
changed their orbits or the sunshine
acquired new brilliancy because he
has written something by castiron
method.
A woman picks up some scraps of a
copybool1 OF the back of pattern,
sharpens ,-sr pencil with the scissors or
gnaws the eno-,i1arper. She takes an
old geography, tuclSs her foot under
her, sucks her pencil periodicallp and
produces literature. 's
She can write with Genevieve pound
ing out her exercises on the piano,
with Mary buzzing over her history
lesson for tomorrow, Tommy teasing
the baby, and the baby pulling the
cats tail The domestic comes and
goes for directions and supplies, but
the course of true love runs on, the
lovers WOO and win, and the villains
kill and die among the most common
place surroundings.
A mans best efforts, falling short of
genius, are apt to be stilted, but the
woman who writes will often, with the
stump of pencil and amid the distrac-
tions above mentioned, produce ten
der bit of poem, dramatic situation
or page sf description that, though
critics rave, lives on. travels through
Che exchanges and finds place in
the scrapbooks of the men and women
who know a good thing when they see
it, whether there is well-known name
signed to it or not.

NOT TROUBLED BY NOISE.
Literary People Who Could Work In the
Midst of Turmoil.

Midst of Turmoil.
All that concerns the men and women
who give distinction to their day is of
interest to those who admire, criticise
and perhaps envy their achievements,
says Chambers journal. A special and
legitimate curiosity is felt in reference
to the conditions under which success
is won. Glimpses are occasionally
given into the methods of eminent
toilers, and wonderful variety is re-
vealed. 1t is at least plain that no
anxious author can have his choice of
several-will determine the point
where exactly the best results are to
be obtained. One mans help is anoth-
er's hindrance. Many famous writers,
for instance, have only been able to
perfect their thoughts in silence and
seclusion. But there have also been
those who could work in the midst of
babel and defy distraction. Jane Aus
ten, whose unpretentious canvases are
full of some of the most life-like por-
traits in fiction, was never in the habit
of seeking solitude to compose. She
wrote sitting in the family circle, and
under perpetual risk of interruption.
1t was the same with successful lady
novelist happily still living.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote
her best-known story on a plain pine
table, by the aid of an evening lamp,
in a tiny wooden house in Maine.
About her were gathered children of
various ages, coming their lessons or
at play, and never guessing what
treasure mine of excitement was com
ing into existence for other young peo-
pie in Uncle Toms Cabin" A large
part of the Roman History" of DIR. Ar
mold was composed under similar cir
cumstances. Dean Stanley has sketched
the Rugby student, where Arnold sat
at his work, with no attempt at seclu-
sion, conversation going on around HIM
his children playing in the room-his
frequent guests, whether friends or
former pupils, coming in or out at
will" Thomas Lowell Beddoes, a poet
of luxuriant fancy and true genius,
though much neglected, also found
stimulus to the creative faculty of his
muse in working in playful and even
noisy company. Such cases recall the
story of the learned man of Padua, who
assured Montaigne that he actually
needed to be hemmed in by uproar be-
fore he could proceed 60 study.

ERUPTION OF oRIzABA.
The Old Crater Again Ia an Active state
of Operation.

The Old Crater Again in an Active state
of Operation.
The peak of Orizaba, an ancient
volcano, is in state of eruption.
The signs of disturbances began
to manifest themselves on March
Sd, and have increased in force
constantly since that time.
1t is now vomiting poisonous
gases and thick volumes Of smoke
are emitted from a hundred aper-
lures in its great NAV.
The earth for 100 miles around
is shaken periodically with subter-
anean vibrations.
A great alarm exists among the
dwellers in the cities of Cordoya,
Orizaba, Kalapa, and the dozens Of
small villages scattered within the
scope of the strange and interesting
phenomenon.
The shocks as yet have not been
of serious nature and no damage
from them has been reported.
The rim Of the crater glows like
fire, and the thick gases rolling
down the mountain sides have set
afame the grasses and vegetation
clothing the sides of the summit,
which adds to the density of the
smoke and the grandeur Of the
spectacle.
For public safety the governor of
the state of Vera Cruz viii shortly
name commission of scientists to
make all the investigation into the
eruption possible, and TO make
recommendations looking to the
protection of the inhabitants of the
neighboring villages. The present
eruption is in the heart of the best
improved lands of Mexico. The
coffee plantations are not as yet
thought to be in danger of damage,
nor will they be unless a fail of
thick ashes occurs, which is not
considered probable.
Masses are being said in all the
churches of the locality to ward off
the impending danger. Coming
soon after the late destructive vol
canic activities in many parts of
the republic, the eruption of Oriza-
ba has many terrors, not only to
the people in its vicinity, bi;t all
living in the great volcanic belt of
Mexico, stretching from the active
volcano ofColima'on the west coast
clear to the Gulfof Mexico, on the
east Within this belt are number
ed dozens of craters, either in re-
pose or smoking constantly. 1t is
natural to suppose that should its
eruptions continue, the other vol
canoes will be affected and a general
earthquake period set in.
The consequences ofsuch catas-
trophe are hard to tell, but could
hardly be anything less than very
disastrous to Puebla, Mexico city
and a hundred of other towns in
the heart of Mexico.
