AFRICAN ETIQUETTE.
The Wlssst Plan to Follow In Visiting the
Biz Native Chjefs.

In African travel It 10 always wise
to visit the biggest chief In any part Of
the country. One can always learn
from other points Mt distance who they
are and something Of their character.
In approaching them, always send
word Of your coming, and get, II pos.
sible. Information In advance Of the
feeling OF the chief toward whites. Up
ON nearing the village, send on ahead
to announce your arrival, and walt un.
til your messenger returns with some
Of the villagers to escort you to their
chief. Greet the chief civilly, and ask
him to send one of his people to show
you a good place for your tent, II you
decide to camp In the village, which I
have done invariably In this country,
though 1t Is not always advisable In
every part of Central Africa. When
you have rested, the chief will come to
see you. Then state to him your bust
ness, talk frankly with him and explain
plainly your needs, whether You want
guides or to buy food.

and sometimes an empty bottle or two.

also big goat or sheep or bullock. and
fifty or sixty pounds of -four. Some
times gave small additional present

to have a shirt. He wanted a candle,

Mrs. Spencer's Photograph Is Sill
Missing, but the Negative
Has Been Found.

Carl Won Tiedeman, charged with per-
jury, walked into Judge Wallace's court
room yesterday morning the perfect per-
sonification OF happy man. Won Tiede-
man is really handsome creature, large
of stature, of magnificent physique,
polished in manners, blessed with a win
ming smile that illumines a countenance
of unusual intelligence and benignant
appearance, with Hyperian locks, and
withal appareled like successful man of
the world, with touch of the oldtime
dandy added. In honor of the occasion
Won Tiedeman wore his tall silk hat on
the back of his head, slightly fitting to the
right, and in his spotless shirt frons
sparkled a solitaire diamond, secured by o
tiny gold chain, at the end of which was
O pin embellished with a pearl 'of purest
ray SERENE"
1t was evident that Won Tiedeman was
expecting speedy acqulttal on the charge
OF perjury that was pending against him.
He knew that the photograph of Mrs.
Sarah Owen Spencer that he swore was
picture OF Harriet P. Christy had been lost
and on this account it appeared to him
that it would be impossible to secure a
verdict of conviction against him.
Won Tiedeman may in the trial be able
to establish his innocence, or at least to
defeat the prosecutions effort to convict;
yet, in regard to the important photo
graph, it seems that he was counting Oh
contingency without full knowledge of the
resources of District Attorney Barnes and
his assistant. Peixotto, for the latter an
nounced to the court that though the pic
ture, which was distracted or was lost
from the archives of the court, could not
be found. yet he had been able to find the
original photograph from which the pic
ture was printed. and that the negative
and fac-simile print would be offered in
evidence.
Won Trademarks eountenance fell'when
this statement was made, but he quickly
recovered his self-possession, and through
out the day carefully watched the pro-
ceedings of the trial.
Mr.. Peixotto stated that the prosecution
expected to prove that when Won Tiede-

tense by committing another felony

| Won Tledeman knew Mrs. Spencer had
been accused OF personating another
woman when signing and acknowledging
a conveyance OF real estate, and as he also
knew that Mrs. Spencer was out of the
State he secured photograph OF her and
swore that it was a picture of the woman
who had imposed on him by calling her.
self Mrs. Christy. To this story the jury
gave credence and returned a verdict of
not guilty, evidently believing that Won
Tiedeman was the victim of a crafty
woman.
Mrs. Spencer read of the trial IN the
newspapers and at once returned from
New York TO San Francisco to clear her
name of the stigma which Won Tiedeman
had tried TO cast upon it. She said she
stood ready to prove that she was not In
California at the date of the acknowledge
ment of the deed purporting to be signed
by Mrs. Christy, and that therefore Won
Tedeman had sworn falsely when he
identified her picture as the likeness of the
woman who impersonated Mrs. Christy.
An incident which babe fair TO be ad van
tageous to Won Tledeman was the fact
that the picture produced by him at his
former trial was simply what is techni-
cally known as proof, that is, it was not
finished photograph, and the name OF
the artist was not given. 1t was expected
that this would render it impossible to
find the original negative. but by diligent
inquiry it was finally located, and Judge
Wallace ruled that it was just as valid, so
far as proof is concerned, as the picture
presented in Judge Belcher' 8 court by Won
Tiedeman.
With this understanding the trial was
commenced, and yesterdays session was
consumed in reading the testimony given
in Judge Belcher's. court when Won Tiede-
man was on trial for forgery.
