better known as the Church of Notre Dame
des Victories.
The services were conducted bv Rev.
Father Emile Gente, pastor of the church,
the music being furnished by NJ. Mar
tinez, orgsnist; Miss Amanda Corcoran,
soprano, and Miss Rene Hickey, con-
tralto.
The attendance, considering the short
time the titled and gifted artist had resided
in San Francisco. was large and mum Der
of prominent artists were present. The
pail were: Gordon Ross, J. r.
Martin, Chris JOrgensen, G. Cadenasso,

The interment was in the French burial
ground, whlther the body was followed by
the family and the sorrowing friends of
the deceased.
Fortune de Conte was no ordinary
Character, Notwithstanding he died in
obscurity in our far Western City. His
death is illustrative of the fortunes of the
family to which he belonged, and bears
testimony TO the noble IortiIude and pride
engendered in the Bourbon race.
Born some fifty years ago on palatial
yacht owned by his father, descending
from a royal and talented family, his life
PROMISED a position OF wealth and power,
His grandfather was an eminent en-
gineer who superintended the construc-
ton of the tunnel under the Thames River.
His father was Carlos Santa Cour de ConIe,
one of the peers of France, and EmbAs-
sadOr of his country TO the court of St
James. The various fortunes that pur-
sued young De COME through life might
well have suggested the name he adopted
for 1t was full of vicissitudes, seemingly
always in dark moments having the
guiding star OF hope as an sllurement to
encourage his tagging spirits and spur
him on to renewed efforts.
After the Franco-Prussian War, which
practically destroyed the prospects of his
family, he became a devoted student in
art and followed his profession with an
earnes;ness of purpose that while it pro-
duced results and gained him many hon
Ora be and eminent positions did not suf-
fee TO keep the wolf from the door nor
avert The fate that awaited him.
Personally he was q gentleman of the
old school, generous, considerate, polite,
and earned the respect of all who came in
contact with him; but his very profession
untitled HIM for business.
Alter leaving France he spent several
wears In Brazil, then enlisted in the
United States navy as a draughtsman ami
iater was successful as an artist in New
York and Chicago. He finally drift d
West and became dean of tae art school

The Realty Syndicate has purchased the
Alameda and OAKLAND Electric Railroad,
the California Railway (Mills College
Iins) and the California improvement
Company. The latter owns the rock
quarry, Leona Heights and 400 acres o
land-at least they have acquired con-
trolling portion of the stock of each.
The r atty Syndicate was supposed to
have been organized for the purchase and
sale of real estate, but it secured control
of the Oakland Consolidated (Grove

He Has FILED Serious Charges Against
Drug Inspector Kerns.
B. Caminetti and William Gavin have
flied statements with the Treasury De-
partment IN Washington. charging Drug
Inspector Kerns of the Appraisers office
with malfeasance in office and with ne
glect of duty. They allege that Kerns took
tea, candy and wine in a telescope basket
out of the Appraisers building and gave
them to his wife. Also that he used
Government material in private work,
for which he was paid by private parties.
Gavin deposes that DR.. KeFns used to
analyze Repsold's domestic brandy, guano
and beet sugar in the Government labora-
tory and in the time for winch mis- ser
vices were being paid by the Government.
Gavin says that on one occasion, after he
had done considerable of this private work
for Kerns, the latter made him present
of $40. with the remark that if he got
more work he would give him some more
money.
Caminetti, whom Kerns charged with
being intoxicated, denies that he was
ever intoxicated and brands Kerns as a

Judge Campbell Dismisses the Case
Against f. ID. MiddlekauR.
Judge Campbell yesterday dismissed The
case of E. D. Midd ekauff, charged by
Alice Owens with assault to do grievous
bodily harm. In giving his decision the
Judge expressed the opinion that the case
had decidedly questionable appearance.
He said the evidence did not warrant the
charge, and as the prosecution seemed
more anxious to swindle Middekauff than
to send him to jail the case should be dis
missed.
A report was circulated around the
police courts that an attempt had been
made 10 blackmail Middlekauff out of $3.50
which was to be paid to the Judge for the
dismissal of the case. The Judge declared
that the report had been circulated by
some hanger-on about the police courts,
who, If his identity could be discovered,

LET 'EM SQUIRN.

We observe that numerous Of the Re-
publican organs throughout the country
are squirming nightly in view of the
fact that the ex-Confederates have been
given back seats in Colonel Brady's
party in Virginia.
Let 'em squrm. The facts speak for
themselves. Brady, Allen, Agnew, Wad-
dill. and Bowdcn are the leaders of
that faction, while General Walker,
Colonel Lamb. DR.. Wise, Captain Lurty
and Major Yost have all been side
tracked. True General Walker is
making no opposition to the Brady
party, but We cannot believe that he is
in sympathy with Agnew and Brady.
In short, nearly all of the conspicuous
Confederates who are Virginia Republi-
cans are opposed to the leadership of
Colonel Brady and Mr.. Agnew. 1t is
true that the Bradyites are able to call
the names of few ex-Confederate Re-
publicans, but not one of them-no, not
one--is a leader, while at least two OF
their leaders were Federai soldiers.
Moreover, as far as we know, not Fede-
raj office. certainly none Of consequence,
has been given or promised an ex-Con-
federate.
