There are those who seem to be troubled
because wheat clings to the dollar mark,
IS If it would always be thus Already
such people foresee higher bread in all the
years to come, and talk of resorting to corn
and other breadstuffs. There is no cause
for alarm. A full crop next year will cause
fall in prices, though not to the figures of
1892. 1893 and 1894, for the reason that the
surplus has been consumed in two years of
short crops

1t is an unfortunate condition of affairs
existing in DR.. John Halls church, in New
York and one in which neither pastor nor
congregation is to blame 1t is simply a
case of evolution, in which the people and
the times have changed more rapidly than
has the pastor. He belongs to an old and
rapidly passing school of preachers and
theologianS-a school that fitted the need
of its day, and one of Which DR.. Hall was
a powerful exponent But a younger genera
ton, with new ideas, new customs and
methods has come on, and the pastor no
longer satisfies them. The facts now dis
closed indicate that it. was the part of wis
dom for him to resign. That he has seen fit
to withdraw this resignation shows that he
does not fully understand the situation, or
that the gulf between him and the progress
sive element of his flock will not be bridged
over, but continue to widen, without fault
of either. His retirement, as first planned
would have been with all honor, but when
it finally comes, as it must before long, un-
doubtedly, is likely to be attended with hui
initiation. 1t is a pathetic situation, but one
which grows out of conditions peculiar TO
that congregation alone. and not to any
shortcomings of or dissatisfaction with the
Presbyterian Church in general.

CHEESEMAN TO BE TRIED. H. J. Brooke's Slayer Declared Per. fectly Sane bv Asylum Physician.

OAKLAND, Dec. 21. - Another al- leged murderer was brought to the Coun- ty Jail tonight to go through the for mality of a trial. Frank H. Cheeseman, who shot and killed Henry J. Brooke last August and then attempted to muroer the latter's step daughter, Etta M. Payne, with whom he had been keeping company, was discharged to-day from the insane asylum at UBiah as not insane. He was brought back to the jail tonight by Deputy Sheriff Al White.
 Usually those who regain their reason are discharged from the asylum as
 cured" In Cheeseman's case, however, the discharge reads discharged as not insane" Dr. E. w. King, at the Ukiah asylum, is one of the most clever experts extant, and states that Cheeseman never was insane, but that he very cleverly feigned it.
 Cheeseman appeared very rational at the County Jail tonight He said, how ever, that he remembered nothing about the shooting, but had read of the affair In the newspapers at the asylum.
 Cheeseman was at Ukiah about two months, but he insists it was about four and that it seemed like a year. Cheese mans case will be set for trial as soon as he secures attorneys.

Was Known in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec N.-Charles de Garmo. or. as he was known among intimates, Count de Garmo, was well known in this city among men about town as a bon vii want and a rounder for ten years prior to and including the Worlds Fair year. He possesses many attainments, and his society was much courted in certain cir cles where a dollar is an open sesame, and at that time he seemed to have dol lars in plenty. In 1893 he was engaged in the advertising business, having street car privileges in number of Western and Northwestern cities. His headquarters were at 99 Washington street, this city Early in 1894 De Garmo changed his name to Gray. and left ostensibly to go to Jo- hannesburg, South Africa, where he en- ga ged in business, according to reports received by friends here. with man named Williams or White, who a few months ago figured in a sensational at tempt to marry a San Francisco heiress.
 About eighteen months ago De Garmo, or Gray, returned to Chicago and an nounced that he was going to Paris to enjoy himself on the money he made in of him by his friends in sporting circles until a Call man undertook to look up his record tonight.
 De Garno professed to be a Kentuckian of French extraction, and had some repu- taton as a gun fighter, though his prow- ess in that direction was never displayed while he was here. He was unmarried, so far as is known among his friends in this city.

 The Police Commissioners appointed Sergeant John Morrison to the position of police captain this morning. Patrolman Jack Scanlon promoted to fill the vacant sergeantcy.
 Nicolaus Williams, a patrolman, petit toned the board to appoint him to the vacant captaincy, but his petition was merely read and place on file.
 City Attorney Dow brought up the mat ter by asking his two brother Commis- sioners if they were going to fill the va cancies on the police force. The Mayor said he wanted to talk with the Chief of Police before doing anything. The mat ter has been dragging so long that l think we ought to settle it, said MT. Dow, ESQ 1 will introduce something on the subject" As he spoke he tossed to the secretary resolution providing for the appointment of Sergeant Peterson as a police captain. Thomas and Clement voted this down, and the Mayor nomin- ated Sergeant Morrison. This was favor able to Clement and, after voting no, MT. Dow changed and made the appointment unanimous.
 Mr Dow then introduced a resolution appointing Charles Hammerton from pa- trolman to sergeant. The Mayor named Officer Scanlon; City Engineer Clement also named Scanlon. and he was appoint ed MT. Dow voting no. MT. Dow then said it would be advisable to name man to fill the vacancy caused by Scanlon prOmOtOn lie ndHleu opeSiai Oiiiooi Charles Clark. The Mayor said he was not prepared to act at this time as there are a number of changes to be made in the department and wanted more time. MT Clement had no nomination to make and. therefore the matter was laid over.
