that could have worried Ralph, and said
that he was not at all dissipated man in
the average sense of that term.
Prentiss Selby, the eldest brother, came
over from his home in Oakland in answer
to a telegram saying that his brother had
hurt himself. He was seen last night and
said that nothing ever surprised him more
than to learn of the suicide. He had had
not the faintest idea that there was any,
thing the matter with him and could give
no reason for the act.
Ralph, he said, was naturally of retir-
ing, reserved disposition and would keep
any of his troubles to himself. Still he
was always cheerful and affable to meet.
The death OF young Selby will throw into
mourning most of the prominent old fami-
lies about Menlo Park, where the old Selby
home is and where the family has lived for
the past forty years and formed many con-
nections by marriage with the neighbors.
The Athertons, Macondrays Rathbones,
Adamses and Selbys are all more or less
closely connected by unions among the
younger generations. Thomas ii. Selby
came to this city in 1S49, and Immediately
took leading place among the prominent
citizens of the time.
He established the old firm of Thomas
II. Selby & Co. in 1850, and the old shot
tower at First and Howard, long one of
the prominent landmarks of the city, and
the Selby Smelling Refinery at Selby, near
Vallejo Junction, one of the largest smelt-
ing works in the world, remain as monu-
ments of the energy and ability OF the pio-
neer merchant.
Like the late William I. Coleman, while
he took an active interest in public affairs
he cared little to hold Office. In 1851 he
was elected an Alderman of the city, and
again in 1852.
In 1869 he was elected Mayor of the city,
and left an exceptionally good record. He
gave away his salary entirely to charitable
institutions.
The Selby Smelling Works, which he
established at North Beach, was a few
years ago moved to Selby. The value of
the ore handled at the works annually is
greater than that at any other smelling
works in this country. The manufacture
of shot in California was first begnn by
Mr.. Selby at the old tower at First and
Howard streets.
Mr.. Selby died in 1879, leaving to his
family valuable estate, which they still
hold. At the old home in Menlo Park are
500 acres of land, and in this city the estate
owns number of valuable business blocks,
in all worth at least half a million.
Thomas H. Selby was twice married.
Prentiss Selby, who lives in Oakland and
has family, ana Mrs. A. ]. Ralston, the
wife of the president of the Selby Smelling
Works and a brother of the late w. G.
Ralston, are children by the first marriage.
The second Mrs. Selby, who makes her
home in this city and at Menlo Park, is the
mother of Ralph r. and Percival W. Selby,
Mrs. Faxon Atherton and Annie Selby. A
daughter by former marriage is the wife
of Captain Kempff of the navy, now in
command OF the San Francisco.

of Bismarck birthday gifts are already ex
hibited, and the cities of Heidelberg and
Mannheim, not waiting for his birthday,
have elected the Prince an honorary cltl-
zen OF their respective towns.
AS practical result of the recent sensa-
tlonai trials showing the enormous extent
to which usury weighs upon the younger
officers of the army funds were especially
created In all the army corps from which
officers momentarily embarrassed could
obtain loans at avery low percentage. Ihese
funds have now been amaigamated at the
instance of the Emperor into one tund, the
emperor increasing the sum total by a
large contribution out of his own purse.
The fund is now known as the Wilhelm
spende, and the Ministry OF War is made
its central bureau.
Considerable comment has been caused
IN court circles by the news that either
during February or at the beginning of the
next month the Emperor and Empress IN
tend to be the guests of the French Embas-
sador, M. Herbette, at a grand diplomatic
solree, which is to be held at the French
embassy. Although it is well known that
the Emperor has a sincere liking for M.
Herbette, it is said that the immediate
cause of his Majesty's decision to attend
the soiree was the liberal manner in which
the French embassy was decorated and
illuminated upon the occasion OF the En-
.peror's birthday. According to court Cos
sip, too, the Emperor and Empress have
accepted an invitation to visit in May the
international Art Exposition at Venice,

The Reichsanzeiger announces that EN-
peror William has conferred the Grand
Cross of the Red Eagle on Viscount Aoki,
the japanese Minister to Germany, who
on January 25 presented his Majesty with
the insignia of the Order of the Chrysan-
themum, bestowed upon the Emperor by
the Mikado in recognition OF the services
rendered to the japanese army by the in
structions given by German officers to Jap
anese officers Emperor William, it will
be remembered, has conferred the Collar of
the Black Eagle upon the Emperor of ia
pan in return for the Order of the Chrysan-
theInum.
The United States ambassador, Theo-
dore Runyon, and Mrs. Runyon were
among the guests at a small and exclusive
court ball at the castle on Wednesday
night last.
Mrs. Cleaves-Symmes entertained num-
Der of American residents at performance
of private theatricals on Wednesday even
ing.
Mrs. Anna Berg, wife of the German AS
sistant Commissioner at the Worlds Fair
and daughter of f. G. Halle of Chicago,
died on Tuesday and was buried yesterday.
DR.. Won Boettieher, the Imperial Secretary
of State for the Interior, brother-in-law
of Mr.. Berg, was one of the mourners.

ALUMINIUM.
Value of the New Metal and Purposes for
Which 1t Is Used.

Which 1t Is Used.
There has been so much said and writ
ten about aluminium recently that one
would think the subject well-nigh ex-
hausted, yet, perhaps, from manufacture
ing standpoint no metal just now deserves
more notice than it, especially when we
take into account the fact that it ranks
first among metals in quantity and extent
of distribution, one-twelfth of the earth s
crust being composed thereof. 1t is tena-
cious, malleable, ductile. and does not
readily oxidize. 1t is certainly worthy of
attention, when we take into consideration
the diverse, as we'll as the Numerically op-
posite, ways into which it can be manufac-
tured Like IRON il ca. iie made into many
utensils, such as coffee pots, saucepans,
dishpans and number of others of SINH
lar nature.
Things of this character made from
aluminium have many advantages, some of
which are that the metal is entirely free
from poison, the food cooks quickly with
out burning, and the utensils are very light,
aluminium being nearly three times lighter
than iron and three and one-haH times
lighter than copper. There are few
things that attack it, but which are not met
with in cooking; caustic alkalies consume
aluminium rapidly, murlatlc aclQ slowly,
and nitric acid only at high temperature.
The hardware merchant not only keeps the
above ware, but can sell you hinges, bells,
keys, locks, bolts and many things in the
electrical line.
Then again, like gold and silver, it is
worked into many things that are orna-
mental, for at any jewelers. can be seen
napkin rings, watch chains match safes,
stick pins, hair pins, toothpicks, lockets
with stones set in them, and q hundred
and one trinkets, too numerous TO men
ton. The optician uses it in many ways,
especially in the making of opera glasses,
and even the painter has a powder which,
when mixed, gives a silver-like luster.
Owing to its lightness, the dentist uses it
to take the place of gold in making the
plates for artificial teeth and in the cap
ping of teeth. One of the finest alloys is
aluminium bronze, which has the color of
gold and is capable of taking a high polish !;
it has the tenacity of steel, and from which
very fine castings can be made, and is COM
posed of 80 per cent copper and 10 per cent
aluminium. Many military accouterments
are made from it, owing to hghtness and
strength. So it can be readily seen that
while at the present time aluminium is
used by such businesses as are not closely
connected, yet as its production is gradu-
ally being made easier in the way of cost,
so its benefits are being just so gradually
recognized by others who, but short time
before, could see no good in aluminium
from commercial basis.-Hardware

FREEZING WEATHER IN FLORIDA.
Ten Millions Lost by the Destruction
Crop.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb 9.-The freezing
weather continues. The mercury was IL
at sunrise this morning and 70 at IL
o'clock The prediction of the weather
bureau is that freezing weather will con-
tinue until Sunday night. The best in
formed orange-grower in Florida, James
A. Harris of Citra, says that 80 per cent OF
the crop is killed outright and the next
years crop will not reach 100000 boxes,
against 100000 boxes this year. The
early vegetable crop, the entire strawberry
crop and four-ffths of the pineapple plants
are destroyed. The aggregate loss is con-
servatively estimated at $4,000, 600.

Robert Louis Stevenson used to tell this
story of his early days. He was entering
in an absent-minded way the famous sec
ond-hand bookshop of James Stillie when
he ran into Tuning old gentleman who
was leaving the establishment. The latter
calculated in an angry tone. Man, can
you not look where you are going! Stew
enson apologized for his awkwardness, and
was then confronted by Mr.. Stillie, who
was alsoexcited. The bookseller exclaimed:
1.-THE cratur has been trying to make out
that an old book sold him is spurious |!
He may be able to write, but he knows
nothing about black-letter books: He's
the most disagreeable customer that ever
entered my shopn who is he?" asked
Stevenson. "Oh, that's the great Mr..
Thomas Carlyle" was the answer.

ANOTHER JEREMIAH.
The Nineteenth Century as Viewed
by San Francisco Priest

Eloquent aud logical was the lee.
ture delivered TO a large audience in
81. Mars Cathedral last evening 10y
Rev z. G. Yorke for the benefit OF
Present alton Convent, says a report

~ his theme "Signs OF the Times"
In the course OF his address he
said: THE Christian era will soon

but natural that we look back oil
the nineteenth.
"Tbe nineteenth century is . won
derful period. Fifty years ago the
Boosting was loud lately it has been
more subdued. The cause is that its
promises have not been fulfilled.
The United States has been the EN-
bodiment OF the nineteenth century.
We have had liberty, yet We are cry.

immense resources, yet we have
strikes and poverty. We have had
universal education, yet in Auburn

"The nineteenth century has re-
cognized these weak spots and tried
to correct them. Its remedy was
machinery. Against corruption il
gave us the Australian ballot, and
now that the Aust ralisn ballot has
failed il wants to give us q voting
machine. Against poverty it gives
us everything from high tariff to
single tax. Against immortality it
gives us compulsory education and

"These remedies were useless. The
committees were quarreliDg over the

"Tbe cause OF all the evil is the
lack Of personal morality. Man has
free will, and his free will can only
be moved by ideals. Unfortunate y
his ideals are mere success. The
only hope is the growth of Christian
morality. Not mere sentiment,
but a morality which is sanction.
