 To admit that the building and loan busi- ness is not good business is to admit that the members have not enough intelligence to make rules for their own benefit. If the investor is paid too much, the borrower pays too high a rate of interest. Ii the borrower pays too low rate. the investor gets too small a return.
 The 72-months settlement plan of 'Tne Alabama Home, is satisfactory to all mem bers. The investor gets 10 per. cent: per an- mum accumulated interest. The borrower gets the same rate of profit on his stock that the investor does, so that payment of SIP dues on $1;Oo0 loan the profit on ! ene ee stock reduces the rate of interest to 1S0 per cent. These are ideal figures and we have realized them and are settling thls way every day. Now Is d good time to Joih the association, Apply to

Word was received at headquarters to-
day that the steamer had left Seattle
and would be here in a few days. The
remaining go men will sail on one OF
the regular passenger steamers to the
islands.
Work is being rushed on the trans
ports Arizona and Scandia, and al
though it is the aim of General Mer-
riam to have them got away next Sat-
urday, 1t will probably be Monday or
Tuesday of next week before they can
do so. There will be no change in the
designation of troops for the ships, and
the Seventh Regiment will go on the
Scandia and recruits on the Arizona,
unless orders to the contrary are re-
ceived from Washington.
The Utah Calvary, under command
of Captain Caine, will break camp early
Wednesday morning and begin it's trip
to the Yosemite and Sequoia Parks.
The Yorktown will soon be ready for
sea, as the work is being rapidly pushed
forward at Mare Island. Her rapid
fire 6-inch guns are ready to go aboard
and as much woodwork as possible will
be eliminated from the vessel and its
place taken by corrugated iron. Work
has also commenced on the Ranger, the
Adams and Hartford. The Alert will
probably be rebuilt on plans similar to
those prepared for the Ranger.

COMMANDERS OF VESSELS.
Secretary Long Announces Two
Important Changes.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Two impor-
tant changes in the command or yes
sells of the navy We're announced TINS
afternoon by Secretary Long.
Captain Charles d. Sigsbee, who COM
nanded the battleship Maine when she
met her fate in the harbor of Havana,
ana who has been in command OF the
auxiliary cruiser st. Paul since the war
began, has been ordered to relieve Cap
tain John W. PHILIP of the command
Of the battleship Texas, now undergoing
repairs in New York. 1t is understood
that Captain Philip will be assigned
to shore duty, probably in command Of
the Mare Island navy yard, California
Secretary Long announced also that
Captain Caspar F. Goodrich of the aux
iliary cruiser ST. Louis had been or
dered to the command of the Newark,
Commodore Watsons new flagship, to
succeed Captain Albert S. Barker, who
has been transferred to the Oregon on
account of the illness of Captain
Charles E. Clark.
1t is regarded by the naval authori-
ties as particularly fitting that Captain
Sigsbee should be given command OF
the Texas The Maine and the Texas
We're the first battleships of the new
American navy, both having been pro-
vided for by Congress in the same ap-
preparation BILL For years the Texas
was looked upon as the most unfor-
tunate vessel in the navy. Her line
work in Cuban waters, especially dur
ing the engagement which ended in the
destruction of Admiral Cervera's squad
ron. has dispelled this feeling.

chael Threaten Steamer Agents.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S-A letter
from SIT. Michael to-day states that
passengers who have been unable to get
up the river after paying their fare to
Dawson talk of lynching agents of
steamers. 1t is said that seven or eight
river steamers have been stranded on
the river bars. and that there are SEQ
people at st. Michael who have no
means of reaching the mines. This
state of affairs is due to the loss Of SO
many river steamers. For the same
reason the fare from SIT. Michael TO
Dawson has been raised from $3.50 70
500. and only go pounds of freight
are allowed each passenger
In order to prevent an increase in the
number of penniless men at ST. Michael
notice has been issued by direction
OF General Merriam to all shipmasters
engaged in carrying passengers to ports
IN North Alaska that orders have been
given by which the commanding officer
at Fort st. Michael will prevent the
landing of any passengers on that mill
tary reservation unless abundant and
satisfactory proof is given of their
ability to support themselves for one
year, or of their ability and intention
to proceed at once beyond the interna-
tional boundary

ADOLPH SUTRO DEAD.
San Francisco's Ex-Mayor Passed
Away Yesterday Morning.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s. Ex-
Mayor Adolph Sutro died at 2:3O this
morning at his home on Van Ness ave-
nue.
Adolph Sutro was born at AK La
ChapeIle. Prussia April %, 1880. He
received a liberal education, and after
business reverses in his own country,
came to the United States with his
mother and ten other children in 1850
Adolph Sutro started almost imme-
diately for California, arriving at San
Francisco November 21, 1850. He first
engaged in mercantile pursuits, but
later ventured into mining. In 1860 he
visited the Comstock lode. Later he
opened reduction works at Dayton,
New, where the Gould and Curry ores
We're worked, reducing 100 pounds Of
silver each day.
Mr.. Sutro conceived the idea of tun-
nelng the Comstock lode, and with the
cooperation of the forty-one companies
operating on the lode, the work was
commenced. The tunnel cost millions
of dollars. and was not completed for
many years. Millions We're extracted
from this gigantic work
Later Sutro returned 10 San Fran
always interested himself in mining.
He bought real estate all over this city
in the early days, and as the city grew
the value of this property increased
tremendously He was elected Mayor
of this city four years ago. and served
one term. He had been i'll for long
time, nervous troubles incapacitating
him from business.
Notwithstanding his death has been
expected for some time, it came as a
great shock to the community to-day,
such a sudden demise not being looked
for
He was the largest individual prop
erty owner in San Francisco, and his
wealth is estimated at about 81 0000 900.
Considerable interest is attached to
the probable disposition of the fortune
left by Adolph Sutro. When Dr. Emma
Merritt was appointed guardian of her
father last February the Sutro estate
was appraised at S2,S49.512 The out
side lands, 136 blocks, were valued at
So3l 300; the San Miguel rancho at
SlS3, 100, Sutro Hights at S1J0,O00, the
Cliff House, the Sutro Baths and the
Terrace property at 100000 the Sutro
Railway Company stock at S320000,
and the Sutro Library at S1O0,N0.
1t had long been Mayor Sutro's desire
and intention to give the Sutro flights
property and the Sutro Library to the
people of San Francisco. Whether the
conditions of his illness prevented him
from carrying out his plans is yet to
be made known 1t is said that a
will containing these bequests is in ex-
istence. The sons and daughters are
said TO share equally in the estate.
Ex-Judge +. w McKinstry, who for
several years has had charge of some
of Mr.. Sutro's most important litiGa-
ton. said that he had no knowledge of
any will having been made recently by
Mr.. Sutro.
Contests among the members of the
family are expected on account of the
dissensions that have existed, but they
will depend on the property's DISPOSE
ton.

FRESNO, Aug. S.-The Government

part of the State to be shipped out
Of California, on account of the
prevalence of Texas fever among the
herds
Yesterday Carey Brothers, the large
Omaha buyers of cattle, had 2oGOo
head of stock condemned at Hanford
by DR.. c. H. Blemer. Chief Government
Inspector for California. Not all the
animals were affected with the fever,
nor even small part of the herd, but
the disease was found in a number OF
the cattle, and hence the whole nero
was condemned. The Inspector would
not allow the apparently well ones 10
be segregated from the feverish cat
tie and shipped on, for the reason that
they had been exposed to the disease,
and he feared they might develop 1t

MILLER & LUX ESTATE.
A Compromise by Which Litigation
is Finally Set at Rest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-The
heirs of the Miller & Lux estate ap-
peared in Judge Belcher's court to-
day and announced a compromise by
which the litigation over the estate is
finally set at rest.
Some time ago the heirs of Charles
Lux became involved in a dispute with
Henry Miller, the surviving partner of
the firm, they claiming that he was

their disadvantage. The result was the
filing of suit against Mr. Miller for a
division of the property of the firm and
an accounting. Since that time. how
ever, the firm was incorporated. and
the affairs of the estate placed in the
hands of Board of Trustees.
When the matter came up in Judge
Belcher's court the heirs of Charles
Lux announced that the acts of Mr..
Miller met With their cordial approval.
and that the action against him had
no longer valid foundation.
The court, after hearing this state
ment, dismissed the action. thereby
bringing the Miller and Lux litigation
