Wilhelmina, the young girl who will
presently be queen of Holland. refuses
to marry the prince her mother picked
out for her and insists on choosing her
own time for marrying and likewise
the man who is to be her husband.
That is sheer rebellion. No prospective
queen and no real queen has any right
to such privileges. They are reserved
solely for the young sovereigns of the
world who have nothing to do with at
fairs of state.

They told how he ate, drank. slept,
talked, walked, winked, smiled, dressed
and undressed. The result, we believe,
was the supremest disgust the city ever
felt. If 1t was not hunkeyism it was
the sillfest of all possible slush by way
of personal revenge or political opposi-
ton; and the only man of the crowd
who didn't suffer from it was Mr.. Gro

A Chase UN NDERGROUND.
Berkeleyans Adopt a Novel
Method to Find the Length
Of a Tunnel.
A Cat and a Dog With a Lantern
on His Tail Used to Make
Investigations.

BERKELEY, Oct. % Beneath Bshby
avenue in South Berkeley there is a curl
Gus tunnel, formed by the sinking OF the
earth used 10 fill in the sewer. The maca-
dam on the surface bas remained firm and
the distance between il and the earth has
gradually increased with each rainy sea-
son until it is now about two feet in dia-
meter.
South Berkleyans want the tunnel filled
in, and at the next meeting of the Fourth
Ward improvement Club the fea, ibiiity of
the proposed improvement will be con-
sidered.
A committee of citizens have been MAX
ing investigations in regard TO the size of
the tunnel 1t was supp sed to extend

but the cat did not come back. The COM

PRAISE FOR OUR Ships.
Congressman Hilborn Speaks
Highly of the War Vessels
Built Here.
The California Camera Club Gave It's
Eighty-Ninth Illustrated Lecture
at Metropolitan Temple.

The eighty-ninth illustrated lecture of
the California Camera Club was held in
Metropolitan Temple last night and
called out large mum ber of people. The
feature of the evening was a lecture by
Congressman Hilborn, who represents
the Third District, on THE New Navy. "
The lecture was an interesting one and
was illustrated by the Camera Club
which projected the pictures OF the vessels
of the United States navy on a large screen
on the stage.
Mr.. Hilborn paid great tribute to the
American navy. ami spoke words of praise
for the American mechanics and espe-
cIally for those of the Pacific Coast, whose
work excelled that of all others IN the
world.
The American ships to-day" said Mr.
Hiiborn, ARE the best war vessels in the
world, and the best ships of the American
navv were built at the Union Iron Works
of San Francisco. Ii is the unanimous
verd let of the officers Of the navy that for
excellence of work manship and beauty OF
finish Scott's vessels are unequaled." I"
[Great applause.
The speaker said that the great want of
the navy to-day is more fighting ships
like the batile-ships and torpedo boats.
He compared the number of vessels in
our navy TO those of England. France and
Japan, ana said that while our vessels are
better they we're much fewer in number.
The modern warships were as yet expert
mental, as they had never been tried in
war. and their efficacy would never be
known until they were put 10 the test
I'VE have the best runs, but we have
no powder" continued Mr.. Hilborn, "or
'ather we have just enough to fire one
Fourth OF July satute from all of our bat
tle-ships."
BY means of the pictures the speaker
showed the progress made in the art If
shipbuilding. The only two faulty de-
signs in the navy were those that were
sent from England. The pictures of the
Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts, were
shown. They were built from the same
plans" said the speaker, "but the SCOTS
got more speed out of the Oregon and
more horsepower than did the Cramps,
who built the other two vessels"
All of the war vessels built at the Union
Iron Works we're shown on the screen and
praised highly and when the picture of
Irving NJ. Scott was shown there was
great applause.
Professor Graeber's Mandolin Club rem
dered some nice music during the inter-
mission The pictures shown by the
Camera Club were excellent.

Two weeks ago Victor h. Metcalf an
nounced that he was desirous of going to
Congress from this district To-day Mr..
HilbGrn put ali dou BITS at rest by making
The above statement 10 The CALL CORE
spondent. The issue IS, therefore, cea rIy
set forth, and as it is not likely that there
will be any more candidates from this
district politicians are perfectly safe in
titcEing 10 one camp or the other.
1t is now very clear that Mr.. Hilborn
and w. r. Davis are working hand in
hand. Il is also as clear that up 10 this
time no alliance has been made between
DR.. Pardee and Mr.. Metcalf, though poll
ticians are daily expecting that such a
com bination will be formed.
The situation OF the contest for the
nomination for Governor has not materi-
ally alter d since the failure of the at
tempt to decide on a method by which
one OF the two men should Withdraw.
Both candidates have men in the field
and each IS making an active cInvass.
Senator Perkins expressed determination
10 abstain rom any expression OF prefer
ence Tor either man as encouraging him
10 go ahead, and according to their friends
each Is aiming In strength daily. Some
one made q great discovery to-day. He
1ounu that DR.. Pardee was really the first
candidate IN :he field. Mr.. Davis was
first mentioned Tor the place. but did not
declare himself TIL last Saturday, when
he published an official declaration of his
position. DR.. Pardee did the same thing
about two weeks ago, and so, in truth, was
the hrst man to say what he wanted. Ii
THIS argument however, is intended To
be used as IL reason that Mr.. Davis should
withdraw IL Is futile, for he has a, mucn
intention OF doing as he has of commit
ting suicide.
In the meantime Alameda County is
earnestly watching the development OF
the little gathering now taking place q
Los Angeles. 1t is realized that San
Francisco and Los Angeles will not let
Alameda walk off with the best thing on
the ticket If II can be avoided, and the
presence of so many San Francisco poll
Iicians at the sou hern M lropolis is re-
garded with suspicion as being in the ma
lure OF an attempt 10 freeze out Alameda.
As things are at present with two men,
each declaring that he alone en- carry the
county, Alameda is at a disadvan tage
through not being able TO present an un-
answerable argument as TO why her claim
should he recognized.

low the surface OF the back.
The girl consented 10 allow the doctors
10 remove the bullet tomorrow mornir q
on their promise to give her chloroform
1t was an interesting operation, but
Clara Fallmer was quite cheerful and
talked jokingly with the doctors, very un-
like young girl who was held 10 answer
few days ago for the murder of her
lover. There has been some doubt as to
whether she would live through her trial,
but the doctors say that With the bullet
out of the way the internal wounds will
soon heal.
The girl did not appear to experience the
least Inconvenience under the operation.
She is OF very slim build and her bones
are not very generously clothed with flesh,
and all the bones III that portion OF the
back and left shoulder exposed 10 the ray
could be plainly seen.
