A BErAN Republican, who votes
for the Democratic electors only,
places himself in q very illogical
position. He would elect Mr..
Bryan, and at the same time run
the chances of tying his hands 80
no silver legislation could be &C
complished. By voting for the Re-
publican candidate for Congress, or
for members of the Legislature, the
chances are that the caucus win de-
cree no silUer legisiation this year.
The surest and safest way Is TO vote
the Democratic ticket without a
scratch this time. Its logical and
consistent.

The "Wang" or King Locust.

The inhabitants of our western states
and territories are badly mistaken if
they suppose that they live in the only
country subject to the periodical incur
sions Of locusts or "grasshoppers. !"
China has it's visitations of such plaques
just as regularly and more often than
has ever Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas
or Minnesota During the time Of such
visitations in China the farmers only
remedy is to propitiate the wang" or
''king Of the locusts," with gifts. They
believe that this wang" is a more
monstrous insect than was ever seen by
mortal eyes. His body is leagues i'll ex-
tent, but his wings are SO transparent
that the sun shines through them with
out hindrance. Besides being Of colossal
size the king locust is of the supernat-
ural kind of insects. He hovers over the
region Of the upper air, silently direct
ing the various swarms and controlling
all their movements in time of migra
tons The Chinese also believe that if
a certain district or farm is to be laid
waste it is done under orders from the
wang No wonder, then, that this gil
gantic supernatural insect is prayed to
and offered all kinds of inducements III
order to keep his minions from working
destruction. st Louis Republic.

the wheel to get the current to work,
the steel portions of the tire are drawn
toward the magnet, and the wheel goes
around.
The speed can be regulated by the
distance the magnet is held from the

Arthur Young's Home For Sale.

The last Of Arthur YOung's race and
name, Mr.. Arthur Young Of Bradfeld
Hall, Suffolk, having recently died, this
historic property is for sale. The orig
ina1 manor house, in which the great
farmer received some Of the most dis
tiDguished men and women of this
time, was replaced many years ago by q
Gothic mansion, but the surroundings
are little changed since Fanny BurDey,
the Duke de Liancourt, and many more
historic pers0nages visited it in the last
century.
Bradfeld Is d sweet rustic spot, un
spoiled by the speculative builder. Close
to the park gates Of Brad1ield Hall is the
old London road followed by Arthur
Young when setting forth for his survey
of France on the eve of the revolution.
Ard just opposite those gates is the
churchyard, D handsome sarcophagus
there thus recalling his memory:
Let every real patriot shed tear,
For genius, talent, worth, lie buried here.
Arthur Young became blind in his
old age and exchanged speculative agri-
culture for preaching. When enjoying
the hospitality of Bradfeld Hall in 1889,
l learned that nonagenarian living at
Bury St Edmunds still remembered
''the blind squire and his Sunday seTv-
ices. Strange to say, till the popular is

honest traveller was much better known
among French people than among our
selves. London Standard.

American boys who may be dispos-
ed to envy the sons Of monarchs win
at least prefer their own school hours
to those of the German emperor's
boys. These children have a life of
hard work, Notwithstanding their
royal surroundings. The program of
their day is thus given: Studying be-
gins at eight in the morning, and with
a slight intermission and also with
change in the form of gymnastics and
exercise in the saddle, lasts till q
quarter past one. After dinner and a
time Of relaxation, the boys work
again till six. At eight these sons Of
roylty are in bed. When the story Of
these hard working children is known,
romantic ideas about the supposed
delights Of life in palace will be
modified. Sovereignty and sloth are
not synonyms in Emperor Williams
vocabulary.

JENNY LIND and THE QUEEN.

There is pretty story told Of
JENNY Lind and Queen Victoria. It
belongs to the year 1913, and shows
how the modesty Of two women, the
Queen of England and the queen
Of song, made momentary awk-
wardness which the gentle tact of the
singer overcame.
It was on night when Jenny Lind
was to sing at Her Majesty's Theatre
that the queen made her first public
appearance after the memorable
Chartist day. For the great artist,
too. this was first appearance, for
it was the beginning Of her season at
a place where, the year before, she
had won unparalleled fame.
1t happened that the queen entered
the royal box at the same moment
that the prima donna stepped upon
the stage. Instantly tumult of ac-
clamation burst from every corner Of
the theatre Jenny Lind modestlY
retired to the back Of the stage, wait
inc till the demonstration Of loyalty
to the sovereign should subside. The
queen, refusing to appropriate to
herself that which she imagined to be
intended for the artist, made no ac-
acknowledgement. The cheering con-
tinued, increased, grew overwhelm-
ing, and still was not ACKNOWLEDGED,
either from the stage or the royal
box.
At length, when the situation be-
came embarrassing. Jenny Lind, with
ready tact, ran forward to the foot
lights and sang, "God Save the
Queen" which was caught up at the
end of the solo by the orchestra,
chorus and audience. The queen then
came to the front of her box and
bowed, and the opera was resumed.

THEY FEAR IT IS SUICIDE
The Friends of William Nc
Laughlin Are Searching
for Him.
Left His Home on Chenery Street on
the sd Instant and Has Not
Been Seen Since.

The friends and relatives of William
Mclaughlin, son of John L. McLaugh-
lin, president of the Fairmount Improve
ment Club, are searching anxiously foI
him, with the belief that they will find
his body in the Morgue ere long.
Young Mclaughlin is 25 years of age
and up to the Sd inst made his home with
his family at 235 Chenery street. On that
date he kissed his sister affectionately and
after giving her the larger portion of the
money in his pockets bade her good-by,
saying that she would never see him
again.
On the day previous he had chided hel
gently for purchasing a brown hat
saying that it would have been better had
she bought black one, as she would need
it soon.
Since the date mentioned he has not
been seen by any of his friends and they
believe that he has jumped overheard, as
he often expressed an intention OF doing
away with himself in that manner.
As his home life was as pleasant as the
care OF his parents and three sisters could
MAKE it the only reason for his suicide. ii
such is the case. is sickness. For several
months past he has suffered with heart

the incoming Grand Jury will have
to decide whether the defendant, as driver
of coal wagon. purposely obstructed the
car or whether his hesitation to move over
the track was mere lapse of memory or
failure to hear the sound of the gong
which several witnesses said was gonged
to be heard four blocks.
The case of Gampoli is of special inter-
est to Inspectors Munro and Thrall and to
Superintendent Flint of the Railway Mail
Service, because it is the first of the kind
in San Francisco, and the department, un-
der the advice OF the District Attorney,
has determined to make an example of
Gampoli and hold him before the people
as terrible example to evil-doers.
The offense occurred on October 2, the
scene of the alleged crime being on Mis-
sion street, between Third and Fourth, at
which time Tomaso Odero and Barnidino
Gampoli, the latter OF whom drives for
Brizzalari d Son, coal dealers, were allow
ing their team to creep leisurely up Mis-
sion street, whereupon the mailcar
crowded upon them.
Motorman MuIvey rang his gong again
and again, but the coalcart remained in
the way. and the evidence showed that the
delay amounted in all to three minutes.
As many of the mails make close connec-
tion at the ferries the wrath of the mail
clerks ana motorman was great. Clerk
Perez got out of his car and took the num-
Der of the cart, which he at once reported
to the inspector, who referred the case to
the United States Attorney, who, after an
exam1n alton of the evidence, recon-
mended prosecution.
The Government is not vindictive and
does not demand the blood of Gampoli,
for the officers will be satisfied with fine
OF $40; but they say they must establish
a precedent that will teach teamsters that
they must not laugh or be needless when
they hear the gongs ring forth their warn
ing notes on the United States mailcars.
The evidence in the case now pending
showed that the block wherein the sIoppage
occurred is 800 feet long; that the defend
ant had 500 feet in which to turn aside
and that instaed he looked back and
laughed at the gripman, for all CT which
the United States Grand Jury will have
its first chance to indie. citizen for OBJ
structing the mails on streetcar line.

DASHED TO DEATH
!. UPON A LAMP-POST
Young Asch Meets With a
Fatal Cycling Ac-
cident.
Loses Control of His Wheel
While Riding Down an
Incline.
TRAGEDY AT THE PREs1D1o
The Injured Lad Was Removed to the
Army Hospital, Where He Died
in a Few Hours.

Benjamin Asch, 13 years of age, son of
Isador Asch, dealer in cigars and tobacco.
101 Grant avenue, met shocking death
while cycling in the Presidio reservation
yesterday afternoon.
The little fellow, accompanied by a
youthful companion, left his home, 60S
Guerrero street, early in the morning for a
days sport on his wheel. After riding
around the park for while, they decided
to 60 to the Presidio and Fort Point. All
went well with the boys and they were
having an enjoy BILE outing until shortly
before the start for home was made.
They were wheeling along the road at
quite rapid speed when, rounding hill,
they encountered a steep grade. Benja-
min Asch's companion seeing the danger,
sprang from his wheel and saved himself,
but the dead boy was unable TO control his
machine.
1t started on wild race down the in
cline, its momentum increasing every
instant. Finally the youngster lost COM
plete control of the flying cycle, and it
dashed from the road into an iron lamp
post.
When the wheel struck, young Asch was
thrown violently against the post and his
skull was badly fractured.
His companion hurried down the hill,
and nndlng the wheel smashed 10 pieces
and the apparently lifeless body lying in
a pool of blood, which was oozing from
deep wound in the forehead, hurried. to
the army post and notified a soldier. The
soldier in turn informed DR.. Frick and
DR.. Edie. post physicians, regarding the
accident and the injured boy was re-
moved to the hospital.
The physicians worked over him for
several hours without avail, and he died
at o'clock without regaining conscious
ness.
Dr. Frck notified Isador Asch regarding
his sons death, and made arrangements
with Coroner Hawkins to have the body re-
moved direct to an undertaking establish
ment. Owing to a misunders tand ing,
however, no undertaken called at the Pre-
sidio. and the body was removed to the
Morgue.
Dr. Morgan held an autopsy on the re-
mains and found that death was due to
cerebral hem morrhage caused by the frac-
ture of the temporal bones.
Friends of the deceased and his parents
say that the lad was always a careful and
good wheelman, if he could be called
wheelman at his tender age, and are at
loss to understand how he lost control of
his cycle and met his fatal injuries.

AUSTRALIANS BIG
CR|CKETERS HERE
They Arrived Last Night,
All Ready for the
Fray.
Are rendered a Hearty Recep-
tion at the St. George
Club.
Tc-pAY's INTERESTING MATCH.
There Will Be Two Very Lively
Days at the Presidio Athletic
Grounds.

A reception committee composed of dele
gates from the various local cricket clubs
met the world-famous Australian team
last night on their arrival in Oakland. The
travellers. though a tritle fatigued with
their long journey, appeared in excellent
condition and seemed to appreciate the
hearty welcome accorded them.
Following is a full list of the great
wlelders of bat and ball:
G. II. s. Trott (eaptain) II. Trumble, G..
Giffen, S. E. Gregory, c. J. Eady, C. Hill,
A. E. Johns, H. Graham, ]. J. Kelly, E.
Jones, r. McKibbin, a. Donnan, f. A.
Iredale, ]. Darling and Fl. Musgrove
(manager).
On arriving at the San Francisco slip
the party was escorted to the rooms of the
st. George Club, where the visitors were
entertained by Vice-President Brandon
and members of the club and of the
cricket ASSOCIATION.
An appropriate speech of welcome was
delivered by the vice-president, which
was aptly responded to by Manager Mus
grove and Captain Trott.
Frank Lincoln, the famous monologist,
entertained the company with some of his
inimitable sketches, and was followed by
Cnarles d. dllI, FREQ Myrtle and others !;
after which the visitors retired to their
hotel to fit themselves for to-day's event.
The actual team will not be selected till
this morning. The fact that the match
will be played on a fast concrete wicket
will doubtless affect the selection of the
eleven, for the bowlers are numerous and
each comes off best en- his peculiar wicket.
The chances are that Giffen and Jones'
the first medium paced the other a
decidedly fast bowler-will open. There
is not a poor batsman in the team, so
spectators may look for a grand batting
exhibition.
The game will commence at IL o'clock
and will be continued. with an intermis-
sion for lunch, till 80 P. M
Visitors from all over the State have
arrived, and will people the grand stand
both to-day and tomorrow, so, weather
permitting, the event will be gala one.
