Late Duchess.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 6.-Millions
of money and royal German title are in
waiting for Charles Louis luxembourg, a
member of the senior class in the college
OF mines at the University Of California
Word was received in Berkeley last week
of the death in Germany of Elizabeth,
Duchess OF luxembourg, and to-day infor-
nation reached Berkeley that all her vast
riches and the title of Duke would be be-
slowed on the young man at the univer-
sity at the death of her husband, the
present Duke. The present Duke of Olden-
bourg is the only living brother of the
Berkeley students father, and as the
Duchess died without issue, young
Charles, according to her wish, will fall
heir to the title and estate of his uncle.
The estate consists of valuable mining
and agricultural interests in what was once
the independent principality of Olden-
bourg, but which has now coalesced with
the other states, and is valued at from
1000 600 to SIS, 900 900. The first token Of
remembrance which the prospective heir
has received from his aunt, the now de-
ceased duchess, reached him at Berkeley
to-day. 1t was heavy diamond ring,
several hundred years old, and an heirloom
of the house of luxembourg. He is also in
receipt of papers through his father, who
is now IN Colima, Mexico, which will neces-
state his quick return to Germany, in
order that the necessary form may be OBJ
served before coming heir-apparent to
the title and the legacy. AS luxembourg s
father was the second son in the family he
never expected to receive anything more
than small portion of the estate, but
since the death of his brothers wife mat
ters have taken a decidedly different
aspect.
The title which the young Berkeley
student expects to receive is Charles Louis
Duke of luxembourg. The prospect of
coming into possession of such vast store
of wealth and the requirement of so much
influence has made no apparent difference
upon the young collegian, as he is going
about his university work with his usual
modesty and good humor. 1t was his in
tention upon graduation from college to
go to Mexico and assist his father in the
mining business, but the recent news
from Germany has materiallyschanged his
plans.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 6.-Mrs. Nellie
Newhard has instituted suit for divorce
from her husband, James Nj. Newhard, on
the ground of failure to provide. They
have been married since November. 1868,
and have three children, James, age 49,;
Daisy, age II, and Maurice, age 10. She
alleges the husband and father receives
SO quarterly as pension. She says in her
complaint that Newhard has deserted her

them they have been compelled to rely
upon the charity of friends to keep them
from starving.
She says that Newhard spends large
sums of money for intoxicating liquors
and for morphine, and unless restrained
by the court will quickly dispose of what
he now has on hand. She asks that he b e
ordered to pay her $35 month for support
of the family, and be restrained from dis

Government. She also asks to be allowed

ing Waged.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 6.-Now that
the cases against Bert Wilmore and Abe
Majors have been disposed of there is a
pretty contest going on for possession OF
the pistols and burglars outfit which were
taken from them when arrested. There
are no less than three claimants for the
stuff. On February 10 the boys gave an
assignment for everything to Ned Aver,
the first attorney in the case, who, in re-
turn, was to conduct their preliminary ex-
animation.
Aver withdrew from the case later on
account of a difference over finances ana
assigned his claim to Attorney r. B.
Josephs. Attorney O. Brien defended Mrs.
Wilmore, and she secured an order from
Bert and gave it to him. ARCHIE Majors
secured an order from Abe for the goods
also. Chief Lloyd has refused to nonor
any of the orders until an amicable agree
ment between all parties is reached. 80
far this has not been possible.
The money which was recovered from

thing over $l00, will be returned 10 the

Athletic Trip East.
BERKELEY, CAL, March 6.-Captain
Merwin of the University of California
track athletic team has been informed that
the University of Chicago Athletic Associ-
alton will not guarantee the $500 asked ioI
by the California athletes before attempt
ing another trip. With reference to this
report Captain Merwin said to-day: "It
does not matter much whether Chicago
comes into the ring or not. We can
easily defeat them In contest, and aside
from the $500 toward making our trip a
possibility there would be but little in q
meet with them. We have written to
several other colleges in the Middle West
asking If they can make us guarantees
and if we receive information that $500 in
all can be assured us l think there is nc
question but wnat we will go East.
Though we Will not have the team that
we had last year, we can still do the uni.
versity and the State credit, I believe
The loss of Barnes and Scoggins has af-
fected our team materially, so far as the
sprints are concerned, but we can make
up for that deficiency in the weights, hur.
dies and distance races"
As to the spring contest with Stanford
Captain Merwin said: 81 understand thai
our friends down the bay are training
very hard this season ard that they are
showing up very well. We feel very GER
tain, however, that we will maintain al
least during the coming year our place as
coast champions in track and field ath.
letics, but not by 80 large margin as last
year, / fear.
"The freshmen-sophomore field day tc
be held on Saturday, the 14th, may de.
velop some sprinters and middle distance
men who will put us on our feet, so far al
the track is concerned. We are stronger
than ever in the weights and our jumpers
are not to be lightly considered"
Captain Merwin seemed to have full as.

For German Literature.
ALAMEDA, CAL, March g. Some
months ago petition was presented to
the Library Trustees, signed by the Ger

that books in their native language be
placed on the shelves. Rev. II. E. j.

gest a list of desirable books to be placed

COED Basketball Players.
BERKELEY, CAL, March g. The
Berkeley co-eds held their first basket
ball practice game in the gymnasium to-
day in preparation for their prospective
game with the Stanford nine. A letter
has been written to the Stanford team by
Manager BrownsilI of the Berkeley nine
accepting the challenge. of the former to a
game to be played within one month, with
the condition that the contest take place
indoors and not before mixed audience.
One of the terms of the challenge was that
the contest should take place on the Stan
ford campus. This condition the Berkeley
girls will not listen to, and accordingly in
their acceptance stated that they would
play indoors only.
1t Is believed that the championship
game can be arranged without difficulty.
since the place OF playing seems to be the
only point of difference between the two
teams.
Meanwhile the Berkeley players will
continue daily practice in preparation for
the coming contest. There is much ex-
element among them, as this will be the
hrst intercollegiate game they have ever
had an opportunity to participate in.
Most prominent among the Berkeley
players are: Miss Griswald, '98, captain

The sudden advent of daily morning
paper in this city two days ago has upset
lot of calculations and created an un-
usual amount of gossip.
The birth OF the Observer as a daily on
the morning of the day on which bids
were to be received for city printing
denotes condition of things that was not
anticipated until the paper was seen on
the street.
Rarely, perhaps never, has newspaper
been issued under greater difficulties.
Late at night the printing outfit was un-
loaded on the sidewalk. 1t was nearly
midnight and unless the first issue as a
daily came out in the morning the neatly
laid plan, of which the publication was
part, would fail. Within an hour of the
arrival of the type squad of printers
were dug out OF their beds and induced
to distribute the brand new type and to set
up the paper by candlelight.
Daylight began to appear long before
the last galley was proved, and while the
proprietor was around town looking for a
printing press, the makeup was COM
pleted.
An obliging publisher was found in the
person of Albert Keyser of the Demokrat,
and it was nearly breakfast time when the
press commenced to work. An hour later
Oakland's new daily was on the street,
and everybody was wondering where it
had come from.
Little was thought of it till the Board of
Public Works met in the afternoon to
award the city printing contract and to
the surprise of everybody, and especially
of those who long have controlled the city
printing, the new paper had In bid as
votes in the board, and of course two will
pass anything.
City Engineer Wilson favored awarding
the contract to the new paper. Mayor
Davie was decidedly opposed to giving it
to any paper of day, while City Attorney
PeirsoI was on the fence.
A consultation followed and no agree
ment was reached, so the case was taken
under advisement. The contract must,
according TO law, be awarded to one of the

doing its work it must be supplemented
by the influence of home life. Parents
