POETS BURIAL PLACE.
joaquin Miller Has Made Arrange.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 8-Joa-
quin Miller, the poet Of the Sierras,
has done many thingse to mark him
as man Of rare eccentricity, and as q
last browning act Of his strange career
he has perfected all the arrangements
for his own funeral and the incinera-
ton Of his remains on a funeral pyre
OF his own construction.
Far up on the top of a sterile emf
hence IN the hills back Of Oakland the
quaint man Of letters has built his
bier 1t is a solid mass of masonry,
covering a space 10x10 feet and stand
tng eight feet high. 1t is composed of
62G huge granite powders, set in solid
cement.
The big masonry pile has been de-
signed with great care. The upper sur
face is followed out to q depth Of two
feet in the shape Of coffin. When the
end Of all things comes 60 him, this
space will be filled with wood, and the
body Of the poet will be placed on the
top Of 1t all. The structure has been
built so that good draft will fan the
breeze into flames when the torch Is
applied and make the cremation of the
body certain.

paper of Paris. has the following arti-
Gle in praise Of Banker:
Naturally, all our sympathy and ex-
pectations were centered in J2cquelin,
the only French rider to defend our
honor, but Jacquelin had to bow down
to defeat before the mighty Banker,
which victory will surely be received
with satisfaction in France, owing to
his constant display of fairness and
gentlemanly manners, always in evil
dence both on the track and in social
circles
For two seasons, during "a and 95,
this popular American rider defeated
lowing was compelled to give up rae
ing, owing to i'll health. And now, in
1898, after lying dormant for so long,
he again meets the worlds stars and
Wrests from them the title of world s
champion.
1t is the custom in Europe, after the
professional championships have been
run, for the winner to meet the worlds
amateur champion. On this occasion
the management of the track tried to
compel Banker, who had just competed
i'll three heats. to meet Paul Albert,
the amateur champion, who had won
the honor the day previous. But this
Banker refused to do, owing to the
great disadvantage, for the amateur
had not appeared in race this day,
while Banker had been in several hard
races.
Consequently Albert appeared on the
track alone, covered the course, win
ming the foreign title of sole cham
pion," destitute of glory and the SYM
pathy of the spectators. Banker was
absolutely right in refusing to meet
Albert, and we hope to see him racing
here at Paris soon, where he will be
received with popular favor
