Charge of Burglary.
Sebastian Rameis, son of planter in
Guatemala, was taken from the City and
County Hospital yesterday afternoon to
the City Prison, VIII ere he was booked on
the charge of burglary.
The comp planning witness against him is
S. F. O'Mally, 512 Bush street. Rameis
and O'Mally both lived at TOT Post street.
Several OF the roomers had their watches,
money and jewelry stolen from their
rooms. O'Mally lost lot of valuable
jewelry and silk muller, which he kept
in a small box. Suspicion did not fall upon
Rameis till about Ten days ago, when
O'Mally, who had removed from the house
on Post street, met him on the street wear
ing his silk muller. He charged Rameis
with being the thief and Rameis in desper-
alton went to his room and swallowed
dose of arsenic, from the effects of which
he has just recovered. O'Mally declares
that he will bring forth sufficient evidence
to prove that Rameis broke open the box
in his room and stole his muller and
jewelry.
Christian F. Petersen, a clerk, had his
gold watch, diamond ring and $40 in coin
stolen from his room, and j. O'Neill. a
horseman, had a $50 gold piece stolen from
the pocket of his trousers. Rameis was
seen wearing Petersen's diamond ring and
be will likely swear out a warrant against
him for grand larceny.

terday morning.
John Green settled in Murray Township
many years ago, and always took leading
hand in Democratic politics till a few
years ago. He was a man of industrious
habits and very thrifty. He accumulated
fortune estimated at $780, 900, which he
Is said to have made by farming. He be-
gan early in life to purchase small hold
lngs in Murray Township and held them
until they became valuable. A large por-
ton Of his estate consists of fine farming
lands in Dublin. He owned large hotel,
general store and several other good
properties in the town where he lived.
Although Democrat he became very
popular in the district which is strictly
Republican, and in 1872 he was elected Su-
pervisor. For ten years he held the office,
and in 1892 when he was beaten by Bailey,
Republican, he retired from politics.
The deceased was 81 years of age and a

five sons and three daughters.

% 600 miles, while the distance between
the mailing point and its destination is
but 1900 miles, and it went the most direct
route possible and did not miscarry at any
stage OF its journey.
The travels OF letter sent from Pitcairn
Island to Tahiti show, as nothing else can,
the complete isolation of the little Pacific
paradise founded by John Adams. Tahiti
is only about six days sail from Pitcairn,
and is the source whence lovesick
Pitcairnors take their wives. But letter
writing, although it forms an important
part of the courtship. is generally confined
to one letter, as when the answer is re-
ceived it is generally the arrival OF the
bride.
Except small vessel or a man-of-war
consents to carry letters between the two
points, which opportunity rarely occurs.
the only remaining hope is from passing
ship bound from San Francisco or Port
land to Europe. A gentleman now resid-
ing in Oakland was once deputed to carry
the Pitcairn mail for Tahiti, and to-day he
told the story of how it was done.
eve left San Francisco in the ship City
OF Hankow and were off Pitcairn Island on
christmas Jay. Olly dUOuI one sup
makes the island, and as we should lose
no ground BY waiting few hours we hove
to and signaled to Adams Point. Then
the two boats Queen Victoria and Admiral
Drew came off with two loads of vege-
tables. Governor Mccoy also came off
and asked us to carry some letters to
Tahiti. We rather smiled at first, but
when he produced seven letters and
told us that there was no other
way to send them we consented, and alter
paying for our fruit and vegetables we
started on our trip. Those letters were
the cause of good deal OF Inconvenience.
When the captain landed at England he
took the letters ashore and went to the
Postmaster. Then he was informed that
he must make an affidavit and must ap-
plv to the Postmaster General for IA cents,
the tariff for carrying letters from coun-
tries not included in the postal union.
Eventually the letters were landed in the
Falmouth Postotfice after we carried them
about Is, 600 miles. From Falmouth they
went to Southampton, and were sent in
the usual course of events to New York,
another 1000 miles.
"Tuey then crossed to San Francisco and
were put on board one of the Australian
steamers and put off at the nearest point
to Tahiti. their destination. The remain
der of their journey was covered with
small boat. In all, the letters travelled
four months and half en- route.''
By the time the Pitcairn left the islands
for her recent trip home some of those
letters had been answered and several new
homes had been inaugurated on Pitcairn.
Nearly all the members of the Adventist
mission reside at the headquarters in this
City.

An Ophe1ia Who Really Fell in Love
With Her Young Hamlet.
With Hamlet scheduled to be given
before American players for q revival this
season it is interesting to read the amusing
and the entertaining anecdotes OF the play
given in that new volume of Shakesp earean
history and gossip, "Shakespeare's Hero
ines on the Stage One of the stories of
romance is as follows:
There was pretty picture at the little
theater in Lincoln's linn Fields on the
cold December night of 1861, when charm
ing Mistress Saunderson as Ophelia ex-
pressed her love in earnest to the ambi-
tious young Hamlet of the mig ht, the
eloquent Betterton. She was beautiful
and she was pure; he was handsome and
he was upright. We may be sure their
mutual alteration was not forgotten in the
talk of the pit between the acts, as the
orange girls ran hither and thither to re-
ceive with q smile the tappings under the
chin while their wares were bought, and as
the fine ladies in the boxes welcomed the
amorous glances of ardent SWANS around
them.
miss Saunderson, through Dayenant,
had received the traditions of Ophelias
representations by the boy actresses be-
fore the revolution; but never, before her
absurdity of M asculine actresses, even if
common and accented sight, must some
times have caused gay laugh when odd
situations were created. Imagine, if posi-

Julian Sonntag of the Manufacturers
Association OF San Francisco made a short
speech, in which he expressed the good
feeling that is shown to the efforts of the
Oakland manufacturers by the merchants
and manufacturers of San Francisco.
One of the busiest sections of the main
floor of the Tabernacle is the Ebell So
ciety's booth. As it was Mrs. H. D. Trow-
bridge of this society who originated the
idea of holding the exposition, the EbeE
booth may be regarded as the birthplace
of the show. In this booth, where social
receptions are continually held, every
lady who signs little pledge is presented

reads:
