Special Dispatch to THE CALL

SAN JOSE, Dec. 5.-Hon. Ca us TGcitus
Ryland died this afternoon, in his sixty
third year. He leaves widow and chill
dren to mourn his lost. In his death a
notable figure, a pioneer and a widely
known AMI conspicuous citizen passes
away.
c. T.. Ryland was born in Missouri and
al an early age came to California and
eventually settled in this county. He was
a lawyer aud an energetic business man,
engaging with success in various enter
prises. He accumulated a large fortune
and was one of the rich men of the
county. The Ryland block. probably the
most handsome in this city, was built and
owned by him. He leaves other valuable
real estate holdings, as well as large
values in personal property. He has
been for years a large holder of local
bank stock and, until he retired from ac-
tive business, participated in the manage
ment. He married a daughter of one of
California's first Governor, Burnett. John
". Ryland, who is now Postmaster, hav-
ing been appointed by President Cleve-
land, is his son.
At one time c. T. Ryland was one of the
most active lawyers of this bar, but his
large business interests caused him to
withdraw from the practice OF his profess
sion. His death removes one of the few OF
those hardy spirits which connected the
pioneer days with the present, and will be
sincerely regretted by large circle of rela-
tives and friends. He bad been in falling
health Tor some time.
Although a Jealous and earnest Demo-
crat, Mr.. Ryland was never a violent par
tisan nor searcher after office, but his
character and standing caused his party o
rareatedlv urge him to accept office. In
1865 he was elected to the lower house OF
the Legis ature, and AGAIN in 1868
In the latter year he was chosen Speaker.
In 1876 he was chairman Oi he Demo-
cratic State Convention, and n the fol-
loyIne session of the Legislature became
a prominent candidate for United States
Senator he was twice a leading candi-
date before the State convention for the
gubernatoriai nomination. He was twice
elected to NatioI. al Democratic eonven-
tions. and in 1888 was one of the vice. pres
dents OF the convention that nominated
Grover Cleveland for President. lie
was appoin ed by Governor Low,
though differing in politics, as one
OF the com missloners to locate
the State University, and was appointed
by Governor Haight one OF the Trustees
of the State Normal School and served as
such until the election of Governor Per-
kins, when he resigned, thou h offered
renewal OF his term. He was one of the
organizers OF the Santa Clara Valley Ag-
ricultural Society. He was also life
mem ber of the California Society of Pio-
neers, and was three times elected presi.
dent of the organization.

that are extremely interesting, in view OF
the complex nature of the political situa-

According TO reports Russia is steadily
gaining ground over England in the af-

achievement is to procure the dismissal of

The Russian Embassador at Seoul In
October last notified the Korean Govern

This information was supplemented by
the perem ptory demand that Alexeieff be
installed in the position then held by
Brown. The Korean Governm ent pro-
tested that it was under contract with
Brown AMI that he had several years vet

that korea's contracts with citizens oi
other countries was no concern of his,
and insisted upon the instant dismissal
OF Brown. The Korean Government
feared to resist and soon pielded to the de-
mand. In consequence a contract was
entered into with The Russian Embassa-

Sermon.

Rev. DR.. RAIDER Delivers Interesting
Sermon.
at the Third Congregational Church
last night Rev. William RAIDER took FIR
the topic OF his sermon Fools" He said
in part:
There are three classe of people in every
country-the wise, the vicious and the foolish.
There are q grea many fools in the world and
education is not destructive of foolishness.
Ben Jonson and Dean Swift were fools in
spite OF their brilliant attatnments. t. make
men wise is to make them righteous. In the
B Ole the fool is defined evil, heed less,
thoughtless, thick headed and rebelious. I
shall! speak of the theological, PHILOSOPHERS cal,
economic and religious fool. By the first IL is
meant the man who in his heart says there is
no God. antheism Is better than athe ism;
detsm better than atheism anything is bet
ter than nothing in faith.
The fool in the field of social economy IS
very conspicuous, great deal OF oolishness
and impossible reform is now advocated by
enthusiasts.
Henry George an ideal reformer, char
acterized with sincerity, earnestness, 1ntelli-
gence sanity and the ability to make q con-
tinous impression with a single idea.
The fool in reform Will defeat as q rule, both
himself and the sane man, who works wisely
and for the truth. The crank has done more
harm than the anarchist who is himself
crank.
The fool in the province of religion has done
/ more harm TO the cause of Christianity than
| the nfideI. Unframed and irresponsible ad-
! vocates OF certain phases OF religious Truth,
| evangelistS with more zeal than brains, up
! starts without purpose or influence defeat the
! fundamen tai principles of Oh i,tanity by
! their foClishness. Jesus did not construct
