A Whim of Emperor William That
Ruined an Officers Life

His Majesty, Emperor William Of
Germany, Is q man OF strange freaks,
as all the world knows, for the dis
patches from Berlin have told Of his
many strange doings in politics, in
matters Of state and in the army over
and over again.
His eccentrieities are shown in his
s.mi-publie and in his private life, bat
stories of these are closely guarded.
They are seldom whispered beyond the
palace gates.
There is a young man now employed
in the London Office Of Brown Broth
ers, bankers, who has suffered bitterly
from the fancy of the Emperor. His
career was ruined, he was disgraced
and humiIiated by whim Of his mOn-
arch. He felt himself driven from the
army aud from his country and forced
to make a living as best he could in a
foreign land.
This man Is Lieutenant Glstav Am
berg, and he was an officer in a fine
and distinguished cavalry regiment.
Those who hold commissions in it are
filed with pride over the honor that is
theirs.
Lieutenant Amberg came Of an hon
orable family. His father was a cotton
merchant who had amassed a large for
tune. From his youth the young man
was destined for the army. AS child
he dreamed Of the time when he should
wear a snowy uniform and ride pranc-
ing horse in the reviews
Just about the time when he vas
re,dy 10 enter the service his father
.ts nearly all bis money. It was only

"Why, saw it c1rlel up in the pa

pressing his thanks.
Eileen's visit, from the girls point of
view, was a complete success. From
that hour the boys could not do too
much for her. Sid, bemoaning bum
blebee sting, suddenly closed his lips
as he realized that she was saying moth
ing about a swollen cheek with two Wis
ible punctures upon it; and if the one
boy took lesson in manliness from the
girls example, the other, in hearty
desire to stand well in her sight, bent
himself to correcting the rough man
ners that had been the despair of his
riends.

 could be considered as equivalent to an election. He said:
 MT Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: My native modesty would not have allowed me to appear before you this evening if it had not been requested of me that should nominate a man from the Mission for an office, and as live at the Mission I never go back on a man who lives at the Mission. (Applause.) And particularly when he lives in the warm belt. The office of District Attor- ney, in my opinion, stands first in the municipal government. There is no ques- tion whatever that so far as the welfare of this great city is concerned that office should be filled by a man who possesses fiber of steel and brain as quick as rapid-fire gun. We have been looking for man of that quality and have found many. I read the other day that the cen tral principle of all municipal govern ments was to place in office men who have been tried and found to be true. The one I have the honor to place Tn nomina tion is such a man. It was in 1853 he came to California. In 1870 the people of this city made him District Attorney. That they were satisfied with his labors was shown at the next election when they elected him again, because the people

In this city the Tax Collector is the means whereby the oil which makes the machin- cry work is secured. Such man must be able to fill the position because of his capacity as business man, because of his accuracy as a bookkeeper, and be- cause of his integrity as an honest citi- zen. We have nominated a ticket which will soon be elected, taking representa- tives from every branch of the civil life that we represent. We have lawyers, bankers, merchants and workingmen and now I wish to present to you one of the residents of the lower Mission, a man who has worked himself up from the shoemaker's bench. I name Edward l. Sheehan for Tax Collector" Applause and cheers.)
 There being no other nominations for the position MT. Sheehan was declared the nominee of the convention by accla- nation. He was escorted to the platform and spoke as follows:
 MT Chairman and gentlemen of the conventions: I return you my hearty thanks for this compliment. I indorse your platform, and if elected to the posi- ton of Tax Collector will carry out the duties of that office in way that will re- fleet credit on the Republican party" (Applause.)
 On motion of J. M Chretien the con- vention adjourned to meet at Odd Eel lows Hall this evening at o'clock.

The platform, which is an expression of the principles represented by the party's S candidates for office, was adopted by the Republican Municipal Convention last evening. The document is a strong one. and Is in keeping with the great care that Is being exercised in the selection of men to whom will be intrusted the work of carrying out its provisions.
 The work of making nominations was also continued from the point where the convention left off Wednesday evening. The business went forward smoothly and rapidly, and nothing occurred to mar the harmony that has marked the work of the convention since its initial session. The Legislative, judicial and educational convention completed its labors. and it IS now peheVed that at to-night's session the entire municipal ticket will have been completed.
 The nominations made by inc rnunicipal convention last night were William A. Deane for County Clerk, Henry Martin for Sheriff, Martin F. Fragley for Su- perintendent of Streets, D. J. Murnbv for District Attorney, and Edward I. Shee- han for Tax Collector The selection of each name was the signal for much ap- plause and many cheers, as each one of the candidates is well known and popular All; appeared before the convention and thanked the assembled delegates for inc honor that had been bestowed upon them. They each indorsed the platform, and briefly promised, If elected, to carry out its provision in the spirit as well as in the letter.
