Municipal Loans son Honor"

The association of Paris students
has for several years past been lending
money to it's members on their honor,
the transaction being kept strictly con-
fidential, the names of the borrowers
being known only TO the president and
the treasurer. Encouraged by the
fact that every loan as well as the in
terest has been duly repaid, the mu-
inequalities of several of the leading
Fernch cities have now embarked upon
a similar scheme, with the object of
keeping their young men out Of the
hands of the usurers and at the same
time developing their character and
their sense of responsibility. The mu-
ricipalty of the great industrial CEN
ter and city of Lille, in the north of
France in particular, has just endowed
fund for advancing loans of this ma
ture TO the students of its university,
which is the most important and pros
porous in France next to that of Paris.

HE DEMANDED A THRONE.

MuGner Wanted to Gust Queen Vic
torta from Her Position.
There died man in England few
days ago who claimed not on.y that this
was his second time on earth, but that
he was the rightful heir tc the British
throne. His name was Ernest Mulliner,
and he was theosophist of some stand
ing. He lived in Southport, and was an
expert accountant. After his death a
number of papers were found which at
tracted considerable attention through
out England. One read:
ITO Victoria, Monarch Apparent:

The document then declared that Null
liner first realized in February, 1885,
that he lived a previous life, and that
A. P. Sinnett, of the Theosophical So
ciety of India, was well aware of this
fact. He then asks for an investigation
of his claims, ending as follows:
"But do say that the main question
of inquiry and judgment is whether the

ceived a dispatch from relatives IN

the Southern Pacific was stopped

because there was case of yellow fe-

s. DON'T CROSS THAT LINE"

bOWlerS IN the Local tournament VIII
Have to Obey that Order.
At the meeting of the trustees of the
San Antonio Bowling league, which
was held at Mission garden yesterday,
it was decided to provide a silver cup
as a trophy for this seasons tourna-
ment, and Chris G. Dullnig was ap-
pointed to arrange for a cup, which
will be awarded to the leaders after
the schedule has expired.
The absence of a rule to restrain
bowlers from running nearly half way
down the alley in delivering ball has
been a source of complaint and pan
acea was provided at yesterdays meet
ing, which will work hard on some of
the bowlers for a time, but will have
the effect of keeping each man at an
equal distance. The rule provides
that the umpire at every game mark a
line across the alley, fifty feet from
the front pin, which will be known as
the dead line" A player who steps
over this line in delivering a ball will
forfeit that ball, while all the pins he
knocks down on that bowl will be re-
spotted and count for naught.
The prettiest game 1 have seen this
season." said Louie Heuermann yes
terday, was the first game at Turner
hall between the Casinos and the Ath-
letics Friday night. The Athletics
work couldn't have been better. There
was no luck about it, but good work.
Their picking was as good as 1 have
ever seen. The Athletics are going
to be bothersome before the season is
over"
Henry Dukes has resigned the cap
taincy of the Turner's and Alex Fues
was elected yesterday to succeed him.
The Light is pleased to state that
Henry i'll be still with the Turner's
and work as hard for the teams sue
cess as ever. May Captain Fues' eff
forts be crowned with success is the
wish of his many friends.
The Light yesterday omitted the
name of Miss Ida Fritze as secretary
of the Ladies' Bowling league. The
captains of the various teams are:
Mrs. J. J. Rheiner, Fernleafs; Mrs. A.
| Gloeckner, Hayseeds; Miss Annie
Gembler, Turner's. The Phoenix will
