LONDON, June S.-The Sultan of
lahore, who died in this city last
Tuesday, came into notoriety in
1898, through a breach OF promise
suit brought against him in Lon.
don under the name OF "Mr. Albert
Baker," by a Miss Jenny Mighell.
The Sultan won his case on the
ground that he was a reigning
sovereign and therefore, the Eng
lish courts had no jurisdiction over
him. q

CoNsTANTINoPLE, June S.-The
chief causes OF the aggressiveness
of the Beduins of Jeddah are their
objection to the measures adopted
against the pilgrims to and from
Mecca, especially the latter, and
the erection Of huts for the use of
the pilgrims outside of the city OF
Jeddah. The measures are strenu-
ously opposed by the fanatical Be-
douins, who have no hesitancy in
resorting to violence in demonstra-
ton of their opposition.

he refused to show what it was in the COM

Charles Hall, one of the committeeman
delegated to accompany Barrett, says that
when they reached Barretts room they
found another man there, and Barrett re-
fused to show his pocketbook.
Several other members of the a. r. o.
corroborated in one particular or another
the various incidents narrated by Mr..
Fink.
Asked why Barrett and O'Brien had not
been given into custody they said that
they were endeavoring TO secure evidence
sufficiently conclusive to warrant such
action, but that up to the time of the dis
appearance OF the men they had not been
able to do so.
1t is proposed to use the letter referred
TO as the basis of plea for pardon for

FINDS THAT IT DOES NOT

ARRESTED FOR ENLIGHTENMENT

afternoon on two warrants charging him
with misdemeanor enlightenment.

Sheriff on January IS last The other
directors were: H. B. Barbee 142 San Jose

age, of the value of $16 95, which he gave
to the Contra Costa Laundry Company in
payment of his laundry bills. In the other
complaint he alleges that Stephens ex-
changed stationery goods for fancy tables
and other Chinese goods, which he pre-
sented to his friends
Barbee said they formed themselves into
a company in April, 1893, to buy out the
former proprietor of the store, a man
named Thistle. There was between $4,000
and $4,000 worth of stock IN the store, and
during the nine months they were in bust
ness about $500 worth of new stock was
purchased. They were doing a business of
from 5000 TO $1,000 a month, but when the
bills given for the purchase money of the
stock became due there was only enough
money to pay one, and they were COM
PEELED to go into insolvency. An expert
had taken stock prior TO that and his report
was that there was only about $500 worth
OF goods in the store. When Stephens was
asked where the money or stock had gone
he said he didn't have it in his pocket

SPOKE OF GEORGE ELIOT.
JENKIN LLOYD JONES DELIVERS A
PLEASING LITERARY Lee
TURE.
He SAID THAT THE AUTHORS
GREATEST Book Is "DANIEL
DERONDA."

A lecture on George Eliot was delivered
last evening at the Second Unitarian
Church, Capp and Twentieth streets, by
Jenkin Lloyd Jones. The church was
crowded with an audience largely COM
posed of ladies, who appeared to appreciate
the interesting discourse.
Mr.. Jones said that only mind used to
criticism and broadened by culture could
that the name of the great woman should
be hidden as becoming great souls. 1t is
only the little artist who desires to see his
name made public.
George Eliot was rather revealed by her
work than hidden behind it. In her work
there is evidence of the most marvellous
encyclopedia mind of the present century.
She was endowed with the power of pene-
trating away into motives; she was the
ANALYTICAL chemist of conduct, and her
work reveals noble philanthropy. Here,
too, is revealed the religious heart. She
was scholar, philosopher, reformer, a
devotee.
Under these four heads Mr.. Jones con-
tinued his lecture, taking up her books.
The story of Romola was beautifully told
by the lecturer, VINO here and there inter
rupted the narrative with criticisms. or
rather, eloquent praises for the respective
beauties of Romola. ''The scholar in this
book" said he, fuses her scholarship to
advance the cause of righteousness"
Mr.. Jones said he believes that George
Eliot's greatest book, not her greatest
novel, is "Daniel Derenda." 1t is good
book for the boys and the girls to read. 1t
will teach them the insi gnffcance of trihes,
how useless it is to spend lives in search of
wealth. Ministers would do well to read
this book, for it would show them how wide
is the difference between ministry that
conforms to doctrines and the priesthood of
kindness and saintliness. The disappoint-
ing ending shows the higher art, which IS
truer to nature, and which only such gen
Jus as Shakespeare. and George Eliot dare
venture on. Providence does not permit
men to eat the plum and keep it.
Other books OF George Eliot were dis
cussed in a pleasant vein, while interest
was sustained with charming bits OF read
ing that impressed Mr.. Jones most pro-
foundly as inimitable touches of art by the
woman of genius.

RICHEST MAN A RUSSIAN.
Young Elm DemidoT and His Uncount
able Wealth.

able Wealth.
Like the English millionaires those of the
Cars domains mostly derive their
revenues from landed property. While the
Britain, however, devotes a large part of
his gross income toward improving his
possessions and to the amelioration of the
lot OF his tenants in one way or another,
the Russian, on the other hand, extracts
every farthing that he can from his prop
erty and spends it upon himself, the result
being that agriculture in Russia is going
from bad to worse, that formerly fertile and
productive estates have now become barren
and impoverished, and that, while the
peasantry are in a state of misery bordering
on famine, the mobiles themselves have
been obliged to mortgage or sell their
lands and are at the end of their financial
tether. OF course there are some excep-
tons, such as, for instance, the Yousoup-
offs, the Demidoffs and the Scheremetieffs.
The wealth of the Demidoffs is so vast that
1T is beyond calculation, and, strangely
enough, the fortune is of relatively recent
creation, its founder having been country
blacksmith in the days of Peter the Grea t.
1t was while travelling in the Ural Noun
tains that the latter broke one of his most
valuable English pistols a village smith
mended it so quickly and so well that the
Gear was delighted and asked the mans
name. "Demidoff shallremember you,"
said he, as he rode off. The poor man
was beginning to think that Peter had
forgotten him, when there came an
official document adorned with the
imperial seal, granting him the freehold OF
a great tract of crown land in the neighbor-
hood of the village. Demidoff went to
work on his new property, and found there
inexhaustible mines OF iron, silver and
malachite. Young Elm Demid off-he
does not bear in Russia the Italian title of
prince generally prefxed to his name by
foreigners-is at the present moment the
richest man in the world, Princess You
soupoff, with her great turquoise mines,
coming next in rank. Fortunately, both
of them are more free-handed and
generous than their respective immediate
predecessors as head of the family, the late
Anatole Demidoff and the late Prince
Yousoupoff having been alike renowned
for their meanness and avarice, of which
almost incredible stories are related.-New
York Tribune.

Durable Chalk Marks.

About five years ago an article appeared
in one of the daily papers stating that
when the old city bell was taken down to
be replaced by new one chalk writing
was found, plainly written thirteen years
before by young engineer.
In the year 1922 the bridge over the Big
Gunpowder Falls at Ridgeley's Iron
Works, about IA miles from Baltimore, was
constructed by Robert Burr, considered at
that time famous architect and engineer,
of New Jersey.
When the bridge was erected several
persons wrote their names thereon with
chalk and they can easily be read at this
day and the date, "July 4, 1922. "-Phila-

Paul Armand Vincelleoni and his wife

considerable notoriety in November, 1892
by clipping to San Diego.

the trouble was patched up and they have
lived here until short time ago, when
their creditors lost sight of them.
Vincelleoni says he is Corsican Count
and tells that he will some fine day fall
heir to fine, an elegant castle. He is a
painter and tells aluring stories about the
contracts he has had to paint the new City
Hall and the buildings in Golden Gate
Park. Mr.. Healv and his wife allowed the

these stories, but when they discovered that

not much in the way till the basket ball
tournament commenced, and then in the
heat of the fray the ball sometimes came
bounding in among them and the gallant
youths who were pursuing it had to roll
knees to avoid bowling the ladies over
altogether.
AS it was, the only damage done was to
a few theater hats, which were knocked off
or jammed sideways by the ball.
The tournament was an exciting one,
though it was evident almost from the
first that the Business Men were going to
