A RUSSIAN PRINCESS.
But They All Thought She Was a
Western DfvOrcce.


From Mrs Sherwoods Italian "reminiscences.
At my Hotel di Londra, in the Piazza di
Spagua, was a motley group of people
who lived there three months or more,
meeting every day at dinner, and so there
grew up a scrt of intimacy and knowl-
edge of each other which was, however
fragmentary. One man, 4 little Belgian
lawyer. knew every body. and used to tell
the rest of us who such and such new
conner might be. Lord HOughton and Lady
Galway were near me, and famous old
Neapolitan duke and his family further
down. One day. as the ladies Of my party
had left for Florence, l was surprised to
see sitting next me a beautiful blond
woman, simply dressed, who began to talk
to me in a pretty voice. with decidedly
American accent. 1 do not now remember
how long we sat thus chatting away, but
several days after that saw her at the
hunt on a white horse, In her Dlue haDft,
riding suDerbly.
Ny Belgian lawyer one day volunteered
the information that she was country
woman of mine-a western widow. he said.
''or rather. she Is trying to be widow
She Is seeking a divorce from her hus-
band" he added. The next day after this
| was in the Vatican library, copying and
examining some of the wonderful manu-
scripts, even a palimpsest which bore on
its varied surface the DE Amlcltla ana an
grafton of Cicero.
To this high honor had been introduced
by Mgr. Cataldi, the sweetest old gentle
man in Rome, high official Of the pope.
and l was struggling with my ignorance
when my American Divorce came in. See
ing my occupation, she became intensely
interested and sat down by me. II can
not manage this Greek" said to her.
oh, give 1t to me; will translate II
for you" said she.
And taking my pencil, she proceeded to
interpret for me the most incomprehensible
of manuscripts.
'Ah," thought I. what wonderful women
my countrywomen are! This Is evidently

Pumping OIL From the Sen.
Scientific American

From the Scientific American
The only spot in the world where oil is
pumped from the sea is on the Pacific coast
below Santa Barbara, Cal. The oil-bearing
strata reaches out into the ocean, and the
drill scaffolding, looking like windmills
without the wheels, crept nearer and near
er the edge until finally many of them were
planted in the water. The work was start
ed at extreme low tide. and finally the tall
scaffolding appeared twenty or thirty feet
from the shore, seemingly rising from the
sea- Three wells at low tide are in the
water and at flood tide are completely sur
rounded, the men working on platforms Of
various heights, which they ascend when
working as the sea rises. The structures
that are built in the sea have not yet ex-
perienced strong Southwestern, and 1t is
assumed by some that there will be a fall
In oil when a heavy sea begins to break
against the scaffolding. The drill is worked
In the water by an engine on the beach,
the fuel being the oil pumped up. this en-
CINE working several wells. At present
the most daring well scaffold stands In six
feet or more of water at high tide, and
there Is a rumor that others will be pushed
out into the shallow water. Undoubtedly
the entire coast In this vicinity overiies an
oil-producing stratum. on what II known
as Moore'e wharf. half mile out, oil rises
to the surface In several places.

after me, giving me the rght-hand seat

The Bryan Lion in His Path.


Croker is regarded by many shrewd OBJ

Croker to the young Nebraskan there will
be storm In this state and city, for Bryan
free silver and all-is still the idol OF the
democratic workingmen and the democratic
farmers up the state. The principal lion in
Croker's pathway, therefore. is Bryan. An
opposition to Croker in his own city and

even forming now-throughout the state.

With the crowd Of political Adventures

Horns on Civil Service
Rules.

The annual meeting of the Natioanl
Republican League of San Francisco was
held last evening in Judge Hebbard s
courtroom in the new City Hall. TREY
l.. Ford, the president, called the meeting g
to order, announcing that the business in
hand was the election of officers for the
ensuing year.
d. q. Dodge nominated Colonel William
Macdonald for president and there being
no nominations the nom inee was elected
by acclamation. Colonel Macdonald in a
brief speech thanked his fellow Republi-
cans for the honor bestowed upon him
and promised to perform his duties to the
best OF his ability.
On motion of Albert E. Castle a vote OF
thanks was extended to the modest and re-
firing president, T. L. Ford. The latter
acknowledged the compliment in brief
speech.
George Stone placed in nomination for
secretary H. U. Dodge, saying that the
nominee was young man who had ex-
hibited qualities of energy and capacity at
the National convention in Detroit that
commanded the notice of the assem- bIed
delegates. After Colonel Stones euIogy
MIR. Dodge was elected without opposi-
ton.
Senator Wolf nominated Albert e.
Castle for treasurer, and Colonel Castle
was promptly reelected.
The selection of vice-presidents, one
from each Senatorial district, was next in
order, and the following selections were
made:

Alex Truman sought to get in resolu-
tion against civil service reform as Grover
Cleveland interpreted it, Mr.. Truman
observed that the Republican workers
were walking the streets while the Demo
Gratis were holding the offices under Re-
publican administration. and that the
California Repu blicans in Congress were
doing nothing in the matter.
George Morse, who was recently ap-
pointed to u fine Job in the Federal court,
said, This is not the time to discuss q

Colonel George Stone remarked that a
resolution covering the subject was
adopted by the Detroit Convention of Re-

Supervisor Dodge then moved that in
estimating the value of the franchises of
corporations the rule be to deduct from
the market value of the stock, emitting
bonds the total assessed value of the real
property. This would make the Market
street Railway assessment $4 S07, 600.
An amendment to this TO assess the
Market-streeJ company at a valuatlon of
$8. 000,00O was offered by Supervisor CIin-
ton, but it was ruled out of orcer, as was
an amendment by Supervisor Smith to
sustain the assessment as made by the
Assessor, on the grounds that the original
motion dealt with corporations generally
while the amendments specified one cor
poration. On the vote the motion was
lost by vote of to 4.
Supervisor Britt offered a resolution
that The assessments of the corporations
made by the Assessor be adopted by
the board. a motion to lay the resoIu-
ton on the table was lost by vote of 8
to 4.

luton carried by TO 4, Dodge. Lackmann,

A motion by Clinton that the assess
ment of the Spring Valley be raised to
Sc 600 900 was ruled out of order as being
in conflict with the motion just carried.
Mr.. Clinton then moved that the action
be rescinded. 1t was lost by to 4.
The business firms were next taken up
and disposed of by a motion of Mr. Britt
that all the assessments of the Assessor
stand as the assessments of the board.
This carried-11 to 1-Mr. Clinton voting
against the motion.
A resolution was adopted fixing the
compensation of the clerks empioyed by
the board at 500 each.
The matter OF raising the assessment of
the banks was speedily disposed of.
After talking over the matter of solvent
credits and the tiuctuation in the amount
OF coin on hand during the period between
the taking OF the bank statement by the
Assessor and the making Of the regular
statement to the Bank Commissioners a
motion to raise the assessment of the
Angio-CaIifornia Bank $l56 600 was made
and lost, the vote standing 8 to 4.
Supervisor Sheehan stated that as far as
he could see there had been no evidenc.
brough in by the assessment committee
to warrant any changes in the assessments
OF the corporations, and he moved that
the valuations of their taxa Bile property be
allowed to stand as fixed by the Assessor
Supervisors Dodge, Lackmann, Rottanzi

The question OF reducing the assess

applied for lowering OF their valuation,
and had been heard by the board, was dis

An Unknown Young Mans Body Found
Near Harrison Street Wharf
A young man was seen at half-past
o'clock yesterday morning falling from
the end OF Harrison-street wharf by a
stevedore named Kelly. The body was
found at quarter OF o'clock in the after
noon by P. Hogan OF Natoma street.
Coroner Hawkins took charge of the re-
mains The deceased was about % or 80
years old, smooth shaved and with dark
hair. The clothing was a dark brown
sack coat and vest. gray pants with black
checks, negllgee shirt and black necktie.
Late last night the remains were iden-
tilted by Henry Konche of LIS Second
street as those OF his sou George.
The young man was i9 years old and
subject to fits. About two weeks ago he
had narrow escape from simila- acci-
dent, when he fell off the Arctic Oil Com
pany's wharf and was res cued with diff
culty.
