about this gift, he read to me an article
in the Times, then handed it to me and
repeated 1t almost without a single
fault. The late Lord Derby used to read
all his speeches. Not only did he write
them, but he had them printed before he
delivered them, and copies were almost
invariably sent beforehand to the re-
porters' gallery. / once saw one of these
printed documents. 1t struck me that
Lord Derby had very curious idea of
what was likely to produce laughter,
for after phrases which did not seem
calculated to make anyone laugh, he
had interpoiated the word Laughter. -

heart his orations a. the Royal Academy

NEGATIVE, NOT POSITIVE
Rev. J. A. B. Wilson Desires to Be Set
Right Over His Own Signature

Editor Herald: Permit me to say
through your columns that Mr.. Julius
Martin did not tell me that he would
oppose the reelection of the present
chief of police, nor did so report him
over the telephone or in any other way
to anybody.
Soon after his nomination inquired of
him If he was committed to the chief
or any Of his friends for his continuance
in office. He told me that he was not.
This statement was made by me to the
Ministerial union, to others and also to
your reporter, and nothing to anyone
at any time different from this did
not ask him for any promise, being con-
tent to know that he was simply un-
pledged.
No one has requested me to make this
or any statement whatever but make
it voluntarily in the interest of truth
and fair dealing.

The Popular Union Candidate for City

AS the municipal campaign is draw
ing to a close, the candidates on the fu-
sion ticket are becoming more popular
and making converts daily. Among
those who are we'll to the front is l.. s.
Seaman, candidate for city assessor. His
moral character and reputation are
above reproach. He is a member of the
Masonic lodge and of the Foresters Of
America. Mr.. Seaman is a practicing
attorney. He was police judge in this
city for two years, and during his Off
cial career he discharged his duties so
efficiently that he gained the unquali-
fled esteem of our citizens. He has often
stated that he believes "a public office
to be a public Gust" and If intrusted
with the office of city assessor, we be-
lieve he will discharge such trust with
impartiality and good Judgment.

SK|PS FROM SAN DIEGO,
A Prominent Real Estate Dealer
LevantS Under Peculiar
Circumstances.
Leaves Many Creditors and Badly
Mixed Bank Draft Comp.i.
cation.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June II. - Max Dal-
los, who was for years prominent dealer
in real estate in this city, has disappeard,
and in addition to leaving number of
creditors to mourn their loss. leaves be-
hind him bank draft complication that
will give him some trouble to explain.
Dallos received duplicate draft for $500
from brother in Germany about the end
OF March last. It is said to be the custom
of European banks to issue duplicates of
all drafts one payable to the first order
and another made payable to the second.
They are mailed on separate days, and the
duplicate is issued in case the first should
be lost in transit. Both we're received here
by Dallos, and the original cashed at the
First National Bank, Dallos receiving for
it the face value.
During the week of the fiesta at Los
Angeles Dallos left here for a few days, as
he said. to take in the celebration. While
in that city he met a. Blochman OF this
city, and at Dallos' request he was intro
duced at one of the banks there, and casEed
draft, which Mr.. Blochman now believes
was the duplicate draft, receiving again
its face value.
All went merry, and Dallos doubtless
enjoyed the sights of the fiesta, with
money enough 10 lake IN every tnlng. DuC
during that time the draft cashed at Los
Angeles was speeding on it's way for pay
ment at San Francisco. It had been an
ticipated just about month by the pre-
vious draft, and, therefore, was returned
to Los Angeles unpaid.
Then there was an effort made to find
Dallos, but he had gone and has not since
been located by those. most desirous OF

to return to San Diego for the present and
through failure to lind work he was un-
able to remit the $50 due for room rent.
This letter was handed over to the Off

with city funds, and has been operating

The Council last night determined to
enter into a contract with Mr.. Perkins, to
run during the tendency of the action for
an Injunction. Mr.. Perkins agrees for the
sum of $400 per month to preserve the
works in its present condition and to sup
ply the city and its inhabitants with water
free of any other charges during that time.
It was further resolved by the Council
that nothing in this contract should be
deemed an acceptance of the works, nor
should it be deemed as waving or affecting
any of the rights of the city or any rights
of Wesley Mock as taxpayer or as plain

every morning before it can realize that it
has got something to do and must get a
move on 1t. Ordinarily it is lazy little
stream and sleeps the ivelong day. or
drowses along between its shaded banks
on its listless way to the ocean.
Now it finds itself lake, where before it
was a streamlet. Just as it is ready to
glide into the Bay of Monterey it is
checked by barricade. This obstruction
was erected at the command of the Vene-
tian Water Carnival Association, and the
waters of the stream are forced back till
they form great lake, located between
the two bridges designated as 1.-THE COW
cred bridge" and "the cut bias BRIDGE"
There is natural depression here,
which, when overfowed, gives to the City
of the Holy Cross, carnival location such
as no other place in California can boast.
The semi-circle of the rivers bank, lying
toward the town, forms splendid location
for the arena.
The managers of last years carnival
placed their audien ces along the curve,
giving each spectator fine view of the
stream. But they did not appreciate ali
the natural advantages of the spot. There
is bit of raised ground opposite the
arena, which is not overfowed when the
raceway at the dam is closed. On this
prominence the present carnival associa-
ton has built palace for the Queen. Her
throne is in front of it, while along either
side are decorations that give the place
the appearance of a grand mansion with
adjoining gardens.
The last Queen had not this beautiful
place of vantage from which to give her
commands to the people whose pleasures
she directed and controlled. Then the
Queen was obliged to find her resting

the advancement of the profession. The
true significance of this discovery becomes
more apparent when it is considered that
anesthetics of any kind were unknown
few years ago and that local anesthetlcs
especially are of recent discovery, and up
to the time of DR.. Payne's researches their
use was attended with serious danger to
the patient.
The afternoon session was largely con-
sumed in the election of officers. at the
conclusion of the election OF officers the
reading and discussion of papers were re-
sumed, beginning with the Report OF the
Committee on Pathology and Surgery, !"
read by DR.. W. r. Meek of Oakland. The
report recorded the operations that have
been introduced to the profession since
the Midwinter Fair Dental Congress, to
which in that time greater attention was
given than in years before that. Catch
ing's Compendium" had corroborated that
assertion, which contained twenty-five ex-
cerpts from the work performed in this
State. DR.. Meek gave the credit for this
advancement to the Stomatological Club
of San Francisco. The report names Drs
William J. Younger. Brophy, Black, Har-
Ian, Talbot, Pierce, Reeves, Crowley and
Russell H. Cool, president-elect OF the
State association.
I'D. Meek referred particularly to DR..
Younger's treatment ofpyorrh@a alveolaris
and his methods of implantation. In the
discussion following DR.. Cool spoke in
earnest appreciation of DR.. 4ounger's s
successes in dentistry.

MADEIRA, CAL, June 1.-THE exam
ination of Richard Magoon, the man who
killed William McGurk at Ahwahnee a
few months ago, was.begun in the Superior
Court Monday afternoon to determine
whether or not he is sane. Drs. F. r.
Brown and w. G. Reid were the examin-
ing physicians. A few witnesses were
sworn, but the physicians stated that they
would be unable to report, as there was
not sufficient testimony TO prove that he
was or was not insane. The matter was
continued until Wednesday morning.
Wednesday, the physicians having con-
cluded the examination, rendered their
report to the Superior Court. They found
after diagnosing the case that Magoon is
afflicted with monomania which leads
him to defend his life by killing his sup
posed enemies. Magoon had a similar at
tack some time previous, but was pre-
vented from doing violence by being in
carcerated in Stockton. Acting on the re-
port of the physicians Judge Conley is
sued an order committing Magoon to the
Insane Asylum at Stockton. The unfor-
tunate man will be taken there to-mor-

CAUGHT At BAKERSFIELD.
Runaway Girls Apprehended and Returned
to Their Home in Los

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June u.-Millie
Shaur and Clara Oman, the young ladies
who disappeared from this City last Satur-
day, were apprehended in Bakersfield and
brought back in charge of Constable Tib-
belts, who had been directed to arrest
them. Mile and Clara arrived at Bakers
field last Sunday morning, and immedf-
ately proceeded to devise scheme for
raising ready cash. The Oman girl sug-
gested the idea of inaugurating social
dance. She at once acted on her own sug-
gest1on, had tickets printed, and succeeded
in selling between $40 and $50 worth to
susceptible and beauty-loving cavaliers OF
Bakersfield.
This scheme was nipped in the
bud when a telegram from Chief OF
Police Glass to Constable Tibbetts was
received. The lassies were placed un-
der arrest and the mother of Miss
Shaur notified. Mrs. Shaur left for
Bakersfield Monday afternoon, and when
within two miles of the station she left
the northbound train and, through the
kindness of the trainmen, tagged the train
on which her daughter and Miss Oman
were passengers.
On arrival of the trio in this city, Mrs.
Shaur took the girl to her home at 740
Clara Oman came to live with her some

of which the decorating is being done.
The citizens seemed for time to be
moving slowly in the matter OF decorating
their business houses in carnival colors
and until to-day only few pleasing bits
had been placed. People were waiting,
however, for start all together, with the
result that tonight the business portion
of the town is wearing gorgeous raiment.
The Naval Reserve boys who will man
the mimic Monitor and will engage in
bloodless battle with the Merrimac are in
good practice and are ready for Commo-

will go through their drill tomorrow
night.

as was the Queens palace, and a brilliant
display resulted, attracting the attention
of the hundreds of promenaders on the
avenue. The work of the committees is
progressing without jar or hitch, which
gives assurance that everything will be IN

This is what the men have been waiting
for, as the superintendent did not care to
undertake the work until all the material
was on hand.
Tomorrow the dredger Ajax will be put
to work dredging the channel in front of
the property recently purchased from the
Farmers Union and Milling Company by
the Coal Road. The water is at present
too shallow there to permit the steamers
to land with barges and it will be dredged
out to considera bic depth. The lumber
for the coal bunkers that have been erected
on this land has already been ordered and
will be landed on the spot where they are
to be erected. The people here are look
ing forward to the completion of the road
and the landing of the coal here with
much hope, as they feel that the cheap
fuel and the amount of business it will
bring to Stockton will be of great benefit
to the people of this city.
