DEATH OF 6. A. HOWARD.
A Wealthy Woodland Man Passes Away
at the Grand Hotel.

A Wealthy Woodland Man Passes Away
at the Grand Hotel.
s. A. Howard, one of the early residents OF
Woodland, died about 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the Grand Hotel, in this City.
Mr.. Howard, about two weeks ago, went
from Woodland to Highland Springs, Lake
County, for treatment.
He did not get any better there. though
he had careful medical attention all the
time. 1t was decided, therefore, to bring
him back to this City and also to try and
get him home. 1t was believed that once
at home he would improve. Joseph Craig,
the proprietor of Highland Springs, and
DR.. CIV. kellogg, who lives at the springs,
came down with the ailing man. He was
able TO ride to the hotel in sIreetcar and
walked ir almost SIS well as any one appar-
emily with the exception of what appeared
to be TEN porary weakness.
Mr.. Howard, however, had complica-
ton of ailments and he rapidly grew
worse. DR.. J. o. Hirschfelder was called
in and everything possible was done, but
nothing could save him. Mr. Howard was
q leading Democrat and long prominent
in the polite of Yolo County. He was
the owner l4rge ranch few miles east
OF Woodland. He also was a grower and
dealer in livestock. He was about 20 years
old. Il. T. Glove, a relative, came down
from Woodland last night and will take
the remains home to-day.

says she received prior to her father s
death from $3.50 to $400 per month, and he
directed that his widow should make sue h
provisions for their children as she should
see fit.
Inc widow, Kate Edith Kirkham, con-
tlnued the allowance to the petitioner of
1888 per month for her support, and that
OF her two sons, aged I9 and Is years.
but since she became incompetent and
Mrs. Kate kirkham Wheeler was appoint
ed her guardian the allowance was sus-
pended. and now she asks that it be re-
newed and $1696 fer arrears be paid.
On her last visit to Oakland Lady Mary
Leilah created hutter by applying for
letters of guardianship upon her mother,
who she alleged was Incompetent. There
was quite family fracas, which was finally
settled by granting her regular monthly
allowance, and she fastened back to Eng
land evidently much to the relief of the
relatives left here. Later her sister
secured letters of guardianship on account
of alleged incompetency of the mother to
handle the large estate.

first of Wales and later of Pennsylvania.
When he left Wales he was known as a
very sleepy little messenger-boy who had
to be woke up by the collIers every time
they wanted HIM to fetch their tools. He
returns a Greek professor, and the story
OF how ne acquired his education and
fought his way to fame is worth pre-
serving.
An incident happened when he was 10
years old that shows the character of
young Lloyd better than any other In his
career of perseverance. One day while in
the mine he tried to keep awake by pour
ing grains of powder from keg into his
cap. While doing so twenty-five pounds
ignited, and with face and hands terribly
burned young Rhys was carried home.
One scar on his forehead and some en- his
hands are still visible, but the worst one,
where the flesh for a space as large as his
palm was burned from his elbow, was over
a year healing.
Part of that time the boy went to school
and blessed his burns. The doctors said
the arm, held in a sling for eighteen
months, would always be stiff. For long
time it was, but they did not reckon on
the determination of the lad He worked
with his arm all the time. Sometimes he
fastened it between the pickets of fence
and moved his body backward and for
ward. Now the arm is stronger than the
other one.
Books were luxury to him, and he did
not really get any chance to study
oil the great strike of 1870 at Pennsyi-
vanla. Lloyd went to school and finished
three grades Of six months in three
months. lie had to work in the mines
tp1 he was %. AT 20 he married, and he
had son year old when he entered the
academy at Marietta, Ohio, in 1879. In a
year and half he had graduated from his
classical course, supporting himself and
family IN the meantime by acting as
ianitor. After summer spent in preaching
ID ONO young Lloyd entered the Chicago
theological Seminary and from that time
he has forced his way upward.
For four years after graduation Mr.
Lloyd was pastor of the CalifornIa-avenue
congregational Church in Chicago. While
there $37, 900 church was built, and the
young Welsh minister, only four years
out OF the mines, opened most successful
career. By advice of others he decided to
enter the professional field, and took the
degree of MA. from Hartford, Conn.
While in California he has received verv
tattering offers, and, has written several
books that have brought him fame.
The professor and his wife have now
gone to travel for six months in Europe.
They will visit his old home, which he lett
when he was fourteen. 1T is feared that
he will be weaned away from the Pacific
Theological Seminary while abroad, and
there are many who think his good-by may

Vagts jumped into the buggy and

THE FUNDS SHORT.
High School May Have to BE Closed
Two Weeks Early.

OAKLAND, CAL, April 15.-The condi-
ton OF the High School fun ds has been the
subject OF some figuring by Superintend-
ent McClymonds, and he has discovered
there will be shortage of about $2400 at
the end of the year unless some provision
is made to avoid it. There has been ex-
pended up to April l, for the maintenance
of the school, $34,9S 54.
The salaries Tor April, May and June
will amount to $10,650, and other esti-
mated expenditures will pc $500, making
total for the year of $46,930 81. The
total allowance for the school for the year
was $44, ,494 13, which will leave a deficit of
$2435 81 to be met.
Chairman Friend of the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Education said to-
day that there were three ways to settl e
the matter. First, the schools could be
closed couple of weeks before the end OF
the term; second, it might be kept open
and the teachers asked to donate their
salaries for the two weeks; and third, suff-
cient funds might be transferred from the
grammar school fund to meet the deficit.
