THE special feature of the programme
was the singing of Miss X. G. McGuckip,
Philadelphia s.famous contralto. She has
remarkably clear, sweet voice, which
she has under perfect control Her
enunciation was so distinct and pleasing
that she became ut once a great favorite

DIDN'T CAMP OUT.
Youngsters Who Wanted to Sleep in
the Bushes Over Night.

Five kids who live in the vicinity of
Fourteenth and G streets had every
thing planned the other day to ''go
camping" for the night, but the moth
er of one of them discovered what they
were up to, so the boys did not sleep
in the brush that night.
Their plan was to get together a
cooking outfit, steal off to the brush
near the north levee and camp there
over night. The task of collecting the
necessary traps was divided among the
quintet. One procured an old coffee
pot, another a castoff frying pan, an
other got a couple of onions from his
mothers supply, and between the 9TH
er two three potatoes and several slices
Of buttered bread were obtained in
similar fashion. Two air rifles and a
tin sword We're packed with the provis-
ions in a toy wagon, and the boys were
all ready for their adventure when the
conspiracy was broken up.
1t seems that one of the party of jul
venile Adventures made so many trips
to the family cupboard during the af-
ternoOn that his mothers curiosity was
aroused. She made an investigation
and learned what was on foot, and the
information was impaired to the moth
ers of the other boys, and the scheme
was broken up.
The boys had not once thought of
blankets, and if they had attempted to
stay out all night the chances are they
would have weakened by bedtime

PROTECTIONIST VIEWS OF THE
TARIFF BILL.

Curtis Gould, in 'Donahoe's Maya
zine,'' in treating of the tariff bill, warns
the people that no tariff legislation, in
deed no legislation alone, can make the
people prosperous. All that the ex-
erted power of government can do is
to relieve from burdens and remove
some hindrances to development The
success of the individual, his personal
prosperity, depends primarily not upon
the Government, but upon himself.
These propositions by Mr.. Gould are
old, trite and self evident; yet, as the
Record Union has often shown, it is
true that deplorable number of peo-
pie look upon government as a thing
separate and apart from Themselves
something that is to do for them that
TO which they are not to contribute.
So far, says Mr. Gould, as the tariff
bill that Congress is now agreeing upon
remedies defects in the existing tariff
schedules by way of removing burdens,
and by checking hindrances to develop
ment, to that extent it will open a door
for more prosperity for the individual.
But neither it nor any other legislation
can bring the millennium. But legis-
1ation, he adds, can raise enough reve-
nue. for the conduct of the neces-
sa1y affairs and incidents of govern
ment so that we will not have to bor-
row money to meet our expenses. 1t
can prevent the exposure Of certain in
dustries to the competition Of cheap for
eign labor, labor being the basis of all
industries.
Albert Clarke, in the same magazine,
holds that as the Dingley bill left the
House it did provide for doing the two
things the friends of protection hold
to be vital, namely, provide sufficient
revenue, and adequate protection to
domestic industries open to ruinous for
eign competition. But as reported by
the Senate committee he looks upon
the measure as being much sacrificed
in its proportions and scientific and
equitable measures to the necessity of
gaining C6IVdlD kSSudtOIldl NOlGS Lie
statistics show, he contends, that in
1929 more people were employed and
at better wages than ever before, and
internal and external commerce were
largely increased. As like causes pro-
duce like effects he argues that SIM
liar tariff influence without material
change in the currency will operate
similarly upon the business Of the coun-
try.
Senator Gallinger, in the same
symposium of opinion. holds that his
tory teaches that high tariffs have al
ways brought prosperity, and that low
tariffs have invariably disturbed bust
ness and Frustrated industries. He de-
clares that there is no escape from
this record Of the pages of history, and
he proceeds at length with quotations
and citations to fortify his position from
the commercial and industrial history
of the country.

A PIONEER GONE.
Death of Aaron Davis, Father of JUS
tice George q. Davis.

City Justice of the Peace George G.
Davis left for Sierraville last night in
consequence of the death Of his father,
Aaron Davis, which occurred yesterday
morning. The deceased was stricken
with paralysis in November last, and
had since been in feeble health.
Mr.. Davis was "a years of age, and
one of the oldest pioneers in the State.
He arrived in Sacramento early in
1910, having made the trip overland
from Wisconsin. He remained here
but short time, when he removed to
Nevada County and engaged in mining.
AS a miner he was fairly successful,
and in 1858 he and his partner cleaned
up from the bed of the Yuba River
sixty-three pounds of gold dust as the
result of one days labor. He was
prominent factor in Nevada County poll
itics, and besides serving a term as
Public Administrator was a delegate
to the Republican convention which
nominated Governor Booth.
In 1861 the deceased moved to Sier-
raville, where he had since resided For
fifteen years he was member of the
Board of Supervisors of Sierra County,
and held other positions of trust.
The deceased leaves a wife, four
sons and one daughter-Morris w Day.
is of San Francisco, Wood B. Davis of
Truckee, Thornton E. Davis of Sierra
vile, George G. Davis of Sacramento,
and Mrs Emma Nichols of Sierraville.
During the absence of Judge Davis,
Justice Candy, of Oak Park, will pre-
side over sessions of the Police Court.

visited the House of Lords the state
crown was taken out of the regalia
room in the Tower of London and was
borne before her on a cushion. Except
for this purpose, the crown has only
left the tower on two occasions during
the reign-once for repair (some part
of the setting having become loosened)
and once in order to modify the ermine.
The crown has never been actually
worn by the Queen at any function
whatever since the act of coronation
sixty years ago, and there is nothing
in the episodes of the forthcoming
commeTnoration that will require it's re-
moval from the tower The state crown
was made for the Queen by Messrs.
Rundell & Bridge (the predecessors of

be interesting at this juncture to say
that the estimated value at that time
of its stones-comprising 2,7S3 dia-
monds, 277 pearls, Is sapphires, IL
emeralds and 4 rubies-was f112, 76O
apart from the priceless ruby which be-
longed to Edward the Black Prince and
the large sapphire purchased by George

perts, the stones still have an intrinsic
worth of a like sum, even if no ac-
count be taken of the value that would
attach to their illustrious associations -

A GOOD REPLY.

One of the Hawaiian Treaty Com
missioners has made an all sufficient
reply to the ex-Queen. He puts the
whole matter in a nutshell, so far as
the native Hawaiians are concerned,
when he says that such hope as they
have for a future resides in the assur-
ance that they shall not become serfs
to Japan 1t is a choice for these ma
tives between the independence and OPP
portunity which they will have as indi-
viduals in the scheme of life under the
American Government, or as mere de-
pendents and quasi slaves under a
branch of the mongol family.
Whether these people shall pass un-
der Asiatic or under Anglo-SaXon con-
troll, says Mr.. Kinney, is the real ques-
ton, one or the other is inevitable, since
the hope of these people as a nation
was dead twenty years before this
Queen came to the throne. He adds
that there is no power within Hawaii
to withstand the swelling tide of Asiat-
ic immigration that will assuredly
whelm these people and obliterate,
while it meanwhile practically enslaves
them.
He charges that in reality the ex-
Queen is bidding for the japanese sup
port, and by her appeals to the remain
ing tribal pride of the natives, is play
i,oo into ho bonds of Tanan n short
such is the fealty of the chiefs of the
Hawaiian natives to their tribal order,
that unless protected against them
selves they will follow a lead to their
utter undoing. The simple truth is
that America will be recreant to her
duty if she permits the Japanese to
take the Hawaiians, as they surely
will, if some stronger power does not
intervene.
The fear that under annexation the
Hawaiians in any considerable num-
bers would come over to this conti-
nent is groundless. They have no de-
sire to leave their native land, they
do not thrive in a more rigorous CHI
mate, and they have never manifested
a disposition to emigrate. But if the
entire native population with one ac-
cord should move in body to the Unit
ed States, bag and baggage, there are
not enough of them, less than 10000,
to cause a ripple upon the surface of
our system.

Queen ViCtOria's Crowns.

The only crown that is likely to be
used during the stately functions of The
commemoration is the tiara which is
familiar to this generation in sketches
of the Queen when holding a drawing
room. This was manufactured by the
State jewelers. in 1862 at the personal
cost of her majesty, and. in general
terms. may be said to weigh eight troy
ounces. 1t is a light shell of gold, en-
tirely incrusted with diamonds, and
comprises 2.673 brilliants, besides 523
rose diamonds, making an aggregate OF
3, 1876 stones. 1t is retained in the charge
of the sovereign, of whom it is per-
sonal possession, and, to all intents and
purposes, never requires any attention
It was specifically devised for use in
conjunction with a veil, and, apart from
the drawing-rooms, has scarcely been
used at all.
This crown was preceded in point Of
time by diadem or circlet of gold,
choicely bejeweled, which was made for
the Queen in 1853 The stones used on
this occasion. which are wholly dia-
monds, were in the main crown jewels,
and the diadern will therefore remain
the property of the crown, although the
cost of mounting them for the use of
her majesty was borne out of the prlvy
purse. This diadem is technically
known as a circlet, surmounted by the
cross patee (whereof the Maltese cross
is a decoration variant and the feur-
de-lis. The general effect of this crown
is excellently shown in the current
coinage, in which it is half-concealed
by a VEIL which was not worn in the
earlier years of the reign, when this
form of circlet was in ordinary use, and,
indeed, there would seem 10 be some
doubt as to whether the peculiar form
of coronet depicted on the present coin
issues has ever been in actual use at all.
1t was this diadem, and another of
like shape that preceded it, which was
used when her majesty opened or pro-
rogued Parliament, and also on such
occasions as the marriage Of the Prin-
cess Royal.

THE JUBILEE.

The Jubilee celebration Of the people
of Great Britain in honor of the compile
ton of the sixtieth year of the reign of
Queen Victoria began yesterday in Eng
land with observances of a religious
order there, and in all the colonies and
dependencies of the empire The Jubi-
lee will continue through the week and
will probably make up the most won
derful series Of ceremonials in honor of
a sovereign known to the history of the
world.
In our land there is respect and high
regard for Victoria, Queen of the Brit
ish. Her long reign embraces the most
eventful period in the history of civiliza-
ton. In its sixty years science, art and
education, human freedom and the re-
cognition of human rights have made
their most strident advances. Her reign
is to go down in history as that of the
most progressive era, the period of the
most benefcent and wonderful discov-

cries, the years in which more than in
any other man has moved forward and
upward
To all progressive momentum the
British Empire has been a chief con-
tributor; in commerce, science, inven-
ton, the breaking of shackles, and the
uplifting of the races of men, she has
played foremost part. Victoria as an
individual has been a model woman. her
court has suffered from no scandals for
which she or her policy have been
blameworthy Her administration has
been one of beneficence, however it may
have been marred by political mistakes
OF her cabinets from time to time. Her
private life has been that of pure
woman, the good mother and the COM
passionate ruler. In this week OF the
ceremonials and rejoicings of her people
Americans will have nothing but good
wishes for the Queen of Great Britain,
and for the English people only broad
good will and kindness.

The stomach Cannot be Freighted

With greater trash than a violent drastic
purgative. True, such a medicine relieves
constipation for the time. but at the ex-
pense of great injury to the intestinal ca
nal, which it both inflames and weakens,
thus uniting it for the performance of
its proper functions. Widely different is
the action of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
tonic aperient which produces effects
prompt, indeed, but never violent and con-
vulsing. The purity of its botanic ingre-
dents, its unobjectionable flavor, its gem
ial influence upon the mind, and the thor
of constipation, liver complaint and dys-
pepsa, combine to render it most desr-
able family specific. 1t increases both ply
steal vigor and substance, tranquilizes and
invigorateS the nervous system and gives
an unwonted relish for the food. A Wina-
glass three times daily is about the aver

The seorching tandem riders who ran
down and injured Dr. Mathews Friday
evening, ought to be hunted up and
punished. We have too much of this
reckless riding in the streets. Here
is chance for some detective work by
the police, and for the making Of an
example. The organized wheelmen
owe it to the city to lend their best eff
forts to the stopping of these abuses.
True, they have passed resolutions de-
nouncing fast riding in the streets. but
they will do society a service and their
club credit by actively searching out
and Furnishing offenders. If the young
men who were riding the tandem that
knocked down DR.. Mathews are not
guilty as is charged, then that fact
ought to be brought out. 1t is there
fore essential that there should be an

important one, since Spanish force Of
large proportions was routed and bad
ly demoralized, and a large sum in

nearly so as it is possible to be. It's
latest report is that business is better
than 1T was a year ago; that the volume
is larger, and that there are more peo-
pie employed than prior to the late
Presidential election. Dun's Review con-
firms this statement, saying that the
quantity of business handled through
the country is nearly as great as in the
years of greatest prosperity, the May
business exceeding that of April, which
was within 10 per cent. of the largest
on record. While the margins of profit
aresmaller than heretofore, the amount
of business handled is large and with
gratifying prospects for the future.
