Charles +. Stevens, prominent and
respected resident of Oakland, died at
his home, Wednesday evening. Mr.
Stevens has long been identified with
Oakland interests and in 1852 was APP
pointed postmaster by President Lin
coin, in which office he served continu
ously until 1879. He had been in failing
health all summer, and his malady,
Bright's disease, a few weeks ago as
sumed the critical stage. All of his
children, including the married daugh-
ters from Boston and son from North
Arson, were at home when their father
died. The funeral took place Saturday
afternoon from the family homestead.
Dispatches from Rome confirm posi-

be made on the sultan for the with

the government of the island until the
arrival of governor whom they will
Immediately proceed to nominate. This
is regarded as the most important step
in the direction of the settlement of the
Cretan question that has been taken in
two years. Nevertheless it remains to
be seen whether the four Powers will
agree on the measure to be adopted in
the event of the refusal of the sultan,
to whom will be offered as reward for
compliance, the suzerainty of the island
and the organization of the gendarmerie
under European command. This will

Your Uncle Sam.

The following - Ex-Governor Bob
Taylor's descri ption OF Uncle Sam.
The most striking picturesque 6g-
ure in all history is the tall figure of
a lean, sinewy old man with long hair
and chin whiskers and wearing an old
fashioned plug hat. His pantaloons
are in stripes Of white and red his
blue swallow tail coat is bespangled
with stars. He is the personifcation
of the Unit ed States and we call him
"Uncle Sam"
He is the composite OF the wild cat
and the cooling dove-the lion and
the lamb, the thunder storm and the
summer evenings last sight that shuts
the rose. He is the embodiment Of
all that is tender and terrible. The
world stands appalled, at his wonder
full strength and power, and yet bows
in admiration of his matchless mag
nanimity.
He is the tallest individual on this
mundane sphere and when he steps
across the continent and sits down on
Pixies Peak and snorts in his hand
kerchiet OF red, white and blue, the
earth quakes and monarchs tremble
on their thrones.
From the peaceful walks of life he
can mobilize mighty army in sixty
days and in ninety days can destroy
powerful navy and vanquish an
empire.
He is boss of the Western Hemis-
phere, sheriff of Cuba, justice Of the
peace Of Porto Rico, and guardian
adlitem Of the PHILIPPINE Islands. He
is brave as Ceaser and as meek az
Moses. He is as fierce as tiger and
cool as cucumber. He wears the
tail feathers of the eagle Of France in
his hat and the scalp Of Mexico
dangling at his belt. He laughs at
the growl Of the Russian bear; and Is
always ready Tor schooner OF Ger
man beer. All that is left Of Spain
since her combat with 4Uncle Sam
is her "honah." No longer the lion of
England roars at our door, but the
twain now stand together for human
ity and liberty.
