A Monarch Who Is Unique Il

HIS SAVAGE SWAY Is ABSOLUTE.

HIS Royal Sceptsr.
Solomon in oil his glory was not in It,
either as Q married man or q puissant
potentate, with the king Of Ashanti. OF
all the astonishing kings of Africa or the
south sea islands this dusky monarch
stands pre-eminent. He has not only de-
fled fate by marrying 8, 1913 wives, but he
has defied the British government and
hurled back her ultimatum in her face.
He is now awaiting the approach Of the
English army and viii try conclusions with
John Bull, as did his predecessor, King
Koffi Kalkirra, in 1874. The result, Of

taken.
Prembi, the king Of Ashanti, Il the
absolute monarch Of about 5000, 900 sub
jects. They live in the heart Of the Afri-
can forest, few hundred miles back from
the Gold Coast. The king wears a CIR
die of dried grass around his hips and a
plug" hat. He owns no crown, but in
some way has become possessed of u silk
hat, which now does duty as an emblem
Of sovereignty.
Another remarkable fact about this bar
barOus king is that he has no throne. He
has, however, solid gold stool, which
does service as a throne. 1t takes four
ablebodied slaves to tug this heavy stool
around.
But the greatest official emblem of royal
authority is an umbrella. This curiosity
has q big bamboo handle and spokes of
embossed gold. On the end of each spoke
is q human skull. Nobody, not even the
king himself, knows the significance of
this strange scepter of majesty, but 1t has
descended to him from a long line of an
cestry. ~i,.'
King Prembi, among other things has
exactly 1888 wives allowed him by law.
Why this liberal figure was decided upon
his majesty docs not know. Like the UNI

A CAPTAINS BRAVE ACT.
Peter Pierce of the Yacht
Sappho Saves the Lives of
Three Fishermen.
He Goes to Their Rescue In a Boat
Built for Only Two
Persons.

Three Greek fishermen came near losing
their lives in Richardson Bay yesterday
afternoon. But for the timely assistance
of Captain Peter Pierce. sailing master of
Mr.. Engleberg's yacht Sappho, they would
have gone to the bottom of the bay.
Yesterday was a very rough day on the
water, particularly in Richardson Bay.
About o'clock Mr.. Engleberg noticed
three fishermen in boat, about half way
between Sausal1to and Belvedere. The high
waves seemed to toss it at will, ana from
all appearances it seemed to be filling rap
idly. He called out to some boatmen near
by to go to their rescue, but they declined
on account of the big seas. Captain Pierce
had also heard Mr.. Engleberg's warning
cry, and almost before any one could real
ize what he was about he was far from the
shore line and speeding rapidly toward he
endangered boat.
His own boat was mere shell, built for
two at most, yet he pushed bravely on.
Captain Pierce reached the boat second
or two before it went down, and then came
the struggle of getting the three men
aboard his own craft without swapping it.
Before any steps could be made in this
direction, however, the fshermen's boat
foundering in the water. With knowl-
edge born of experience, supported by a
courage equally as strong, he picked up
each man in his turn, and soon had them
safe on Sausalito's shore. The skill and
bravery displayed by Captain Pierce was
greatly applauded by people who saw
the rescue,

TWO MINISTERS ORDAINED
Bishop B. F. Lee Preached
His Final Sermon at
Bethel Church.
He Spoke in Liberal Spirit of the
Need of Christ and Defended
the Colored Ministry.

Bethel Church was crowded yesterday
morning with an attentive audience as
sembled to hear the ordination sermon by
Bishop B. F. Lee of Waco, Texas, and wit
ness the ceremony by which Samuel d.
Johnson and w. G. Chapman received eld-
ers' orders.
The Bishops text was, "Behold the
Man" He said he had never felt like join
ing IN the universal sneering at PLATE.
The average great character of the present
day would have acted as Plate did under
the circumstances. Yet there is scarcely
Biblical character that is less respected.
There are men named Cain and women
named Jezebel, but no man named Plate.

he did not mean as we do now when we
speak OF the sublime Master of Men" the
greatest OF potentates the greatest man of
all the world.
me the storm of a life of action and not the
dead calm of faith" he pronounced it
poetic and beautiful but fallacious.
"The world, said the speaker, "pro-
crosses more in an hour since the star of
Bethlehem has arisen than it did in a
thousand years before. The age of Chris
tianity is the age of invention, of progress.

this but Christ, enthroned and enrobed.
the man TO whom PLATE called attention
in the words of the text?
"There is no life nearer to man than
that of Christ in its simplicity, in its ad-
herence to duty. 1t is a mistake for the
churches to act as though the Christ life is
vague, effervescent, hard to understand.
1t is clear. 1t is plain and shines with a
wonderful translucence. The churches are
the conservators of that principle of life.
Education develops what there is in
man. If he is fool originally it will
make him an educated fool. If man of
good sense in the beginning he will be-
come an educated man of good sense.

The Veteran Firemans' Association of

their time, their energy and their money,
and risked life and limb to protect the
property of their fellow citizens and save it
from destruction by fire, will to-day cele-
brate the anniversary OF the admission of
the State into the Union, at Gilroy.
Yesterday about 125 OF the old boys
formed in procession in front of their head
quarters at "a Fourth street, and headed
by band, marched to the San Jose depot,
where they took the train for the pretty
little town in Santa Clara County. The
tourists were attired in the neat uniform
and black leather firehats that is so sug-
gestiye of the time when they 'ran with
the masheen." They were jolly looking

themselves, they will have good old

Christian. Books have been written on
such theory. Blasphemy! Christ never
sanctified sin. Nor is it true that slavery
was necessary for the development of the
intellect OF the race. There is finer intel
lect in Africa to-day than any black man
in America possesses.
''Men regard the church to-day as an eff
Terminate thing. They leave it to the efforts
of children and women, while they attend
to the business of the world. Yet when
men lie down to die, when they must face
the incomprehensibie, they want the spirit
of that divine man. They have effemin-
ICED the church by their neglect Of it.
They have tainted the ministry with its
association with women in the work of
salvation, yet when the final hour comes
they are glad to receive the bread of life
from the hands of ministers.
christianity does not know all of Christ.
There is but little known as yet of the un-
folding of his spirit"
Bishop Lee said the "we' spirit hindered
perfect comprehension of Christ.
ave can't afford narrow, contemplate
spirit of sectarianism. You need the Bap-
lists with all their water and they need
you with all your consistency. | will dis
bar no maa who has been near the throne
of God, no matter on what denomina-
tional plank he stands. Let the people of
San Francisco know that behind you
stands the Christ. Behold the man +"
In conclusion he urged the ministers to
be true to their calling and to repudiate
the charges made against the negro minis
try of the coast.
"Prove that you are as brave and true as
the ministry in the white churches. Show
that the accusations of corruption and
money grabbing are false"
Raising his hand with dramatic gesture
the Bishop said my hand is clean of money
grabbing and SO is my heart.
The peroration was called forth by the
denunciation of the negro ministry in the
recent Afro-American Congress.
Rev. w. B. Anderson preached in the
afternoon and Rev, J. E. Edwards in the
evening.
