UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN
Nearer the Pole Than Ever Other Babe
Was Born
Opens Its Eyes to the Six
Honths-Long Day

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.-On Her
schel island. 500 miles from sitka,
Alaska, as bird flies, there has been
born an American baby. 1t would be an
interesting baby if it were born of native
parents, for it is the most northern born
baby yet known. Herschel island being
no farther from the north pole than San
Francisco is from Mazatlan. The story OF
the birth of this northernmost of Ameri-
can babies was brought by the captain of
the steam tender Jeanne.
1t seems that Captain Sherman and his
wife had passed one winter at Herschel
island, and Mrs. Sherman was quite used
to the midnight sun of the summer and
the long darkenss of the winter as we'll.
There was great to-do about the birth OF
the baby. There were four women at
Herschel island to idolze the little one.
They were the wives of whaling captains.
The whaleYs, most of whom had been
away from home for more than eighteen
months when the baby was born, were
greatly interested in the event and sent
many presents to the happy mother
There happened to be clergyman of the
Church of England at the camp. He had
been sent to that o1d corner OF the globe
as a missionary, his name being Rev. Mr..
Stringer. With all the formality that
was pUssiole OH the barren island he
christened the infant Helen Herschel
Sherman.
The baby has taken very kindly to thu
mild but perpetual daylight of the sum-
mer at Herschel island and bids fair to
thrive there through the long, dull win
ter months Her playthings are made
from whalebons and her cradle was cut
from pieces OF wreckage by a ships car
p,.nter.

THEIR TROUBLES INCREASE
More Complaints Against the State
Bank Commissioners
The Grand Jury Fails to Indict Them, but
They rlay Yet Be Removed
From Office

MERGED, CAL, Oct. 9.-The state
bank com m ssioners' troubles continue
to grow. Last night Mr.. W. N. Sherman,
acting for a nonresident brother. who is
a deposition, swore to a complaint charg
Ing the bank commissioners with having
willfully neglected to perform the duties
pertaining to their Office, in this: That
the bank comm issoners, and each of
them, having the means and the oppor-
tunity so to do, did not up to the first
day of Septem ber, 1895, ascertain that tine
bank was liable TO fulfill all its obliga-
tions,a that it was unsafe for 1T to con-
time business as hereinb before alleged.
On this complaint Judge Law this morn
ing issued citation requiring Commls-
soners Kilbourne. Fuller and MCGEE to
appear IN the superior court hers on the
18th inst. and answer the charges and
show cause why they should not be de-
prived Of their offices.
The grand jury, in its report tonight,
says the officers and directors of the Mer-
ced bank had done nothing with criminal
intent, and that If the bank commission
ers had done their duty the depositors
would not now have any complaint to
make. After the jury had been dis
charged one of the jurymen said private
ly that the bank mmissioners would
have been indicted had not the other
prosecution been commenced against
them yesterday.

OF the Celebration of ItaIy's
UnificatiOn
AS SEEN WITH PAPAL EYES
The Aim Was Not to Celebrate Polit.
ical Unity
But to Encompass the Spoiiation Of the
Holy See and Accomplish Q Re.
turn to Paganism
Associated Press Special Wire.

ROME, Oct. 9.-The letter OF his holi-
ness, Pope Leo XIII, to Cardinal Ram
pola, the papal secretary OF state, on
the recent fetes IN celebration Of the
twenty-ffth anniversary of the entry Of
the Italian troops into Rome, was pub
lished this evening. 1t is as follows:
The sentimenG of humanity which even
minds dominated by passion retain,
SCENE to permit of the hope of some con-
sideration in our old age, but this has
been brutally ignored. We havs beeu re-
duced to become almost i'm ediate wit
nesses of the apotheosls of the Italian
revolution and the spoliation of the holy
see. That which most afflicted us Is the
design to perpetuate rather than to ter
inmate the conflict of which no one can
measure the disastrous effects. The final
object of the occupation of Rome was
not to complete political unity, but in
destroying the walls of the temporal me-
tropolis to more closely attack the spirit
uaI power of the pope. The object was
to change the destinies of Rome, return
to paganism and give birth to third
Rome. and a third era of civilization.
This it was desired to celebrate recently
uuuGT SauCtlOn VI tut l6W law, ny uOlSy
demonstrations conducted by a sect
which Is the enemy Of God. The nation
suffers, for not only are the prom ises OF
mutual benefits unfultilled but morally
Italy is divided and subdivided by fac
tions which menace all civil and social
institutions in augmenting mum bers and
force. Nothing will ever confer veritable
independence upon the papacv SO long
as it does no. have temporal jurisdiction.
This condition they pretend having
granted u.s. subeidinated to the arbitrary
will of course, and lately there has been
a suggestion of threat to abrogate even
the guarantee itself.
The letter then vaunts the blessing OF
the pontificial sovereignty and invites
the Italians not to BE bound up with
sects and to consider how .pernicious i;
would be to perpetuate the conflict which
is profiting the enemies of Christ.
1T affirms that the head of the church
follows loving vigilance, humanity'a
| road, and does not refuse TO accept the
I reasonable necessities Of the times.
| The letter of his holiness concludes,
with: IF Italians, throwing off the Ma
sonic yoke, would listen to us. we could
open our hearts to the fondest hopes.
Otherwise. we can but predict new and
greater disasters"

ing at Emanuel church. He saw Mrs.
Noble and asked her if Blanche was com
ing to the prayer meeting. Mrs. Noble
replied that she did not believe her niece
would be present. He related a number
of other minor incidents in connection
with his conversation with Mrs. Noble,
who evidently did not indorse his state
ments, from the fact that she shook her
head several times. at the close of the
service Durrant said he went home and
retired.
The story of Durrants movements on
April Sd told, Attorney Deuprey called
the attention of the witness to the extra
lock on the library door. to which only
Durrant and King had keys. Durrant
said he placed the lock on the do3r to
protect the library, as the other lock was
defective. He said he never knew until
after his arrest that there was box OF
tools in Pastor Gibson's study When
shown the ha.chet found in the belfry
beside Blanche Lamont body, he said he
had never seen it before. In refutatlon
that Durrant wore an overcoau on April
Sd, the prisoner ~aid he did not wear an
overcoat during the month OF April.
The next move on the part OF the de-
Tense was to show that Durrant did not
enter pawnbroker Oppenheim' 8 shop for
mont's ring. Oppenheim testified that
Durrant came into his shop between lO
and ~ o'clock in the forenoon of some
day between April Sd and April 1lth.
The defense endeavored to establish an
alibi covering the whole period. Drrrant
told where he was oD each day, and in
three instances produced notes of lectures
which he said he attended at Cooper
Medical college.
Durrant denied that on the afternoon
of April Sd he was at the corner OF Pow
ell and Clay streets. as testified to by
Mrs. Vogel. He also denied the state
ments { f the three school girls, who tes-
titled that Durrant and Blanche Lamont
boarded Powell street. car at Clay street
and rode toward Mark 1t street. He said
he did not ride on q west. bound Valencia
street car with Blanche Lamont, as testi-
fled to by Mrs. Crossett. He said he
was never in Oppenheim pawnshop.
Did you upon April Sd, in San Fran
cisco or elsewhere. p" asked Attorney Deu-
prey, "Inflict any violence upon Blanch e
Lamont, or did you kill or participate in
killing her?'
Durrant replied that he did not, and the
direct examination was at an end.
The Cross-examinatiOn, which lasted
only an hour before the court took re-
cess until tomorrow, was confined to
questions relative to the life of Durrant
prior to April Sd. The prisoner told at
length of the important part he had
taken in the affairs of Emanuel Baptist
church. He said he had attended every
service at the church three times every
Sunday and twice each week for years.
A year ago he was chosen assistant su
perinteni lent of the Sunday school.
