Empress Elizabeth of Austria has lately
sold her fine chateau and estate IN the
island of Corfu, called Archilleion. and
will not return TO 1t. although it was for
time her favorite place OF temporary resi-
dence Yet another explanation OF this
move has come to- hand. 1t Is said that
the variable climate of Corfu. which was
blamed for her decision, had the least to
do with it, but that a new neishbor,
wealthy Greek currant merchant, was the
cause he having been extremely obnoX-
ious by his persistent attempts to Scrape
an acquaintance with the august lady. In
moving away the empress has taken good
care TO obliterate sFihe Gast traces of her
stay in the island. Even the magnificent
monument which she had erected there
to tihe memory of ehel,J son. the Grown
Prince Rudolph, she mas taken along

ton is carved into the marble: Rudolph
Archfdux Austriae.
In Austrian court cfcles it is whispered
that the complicated nervous disorder
from which the empress has suffered so
many years has greatly improved of late
but that her general physical condition
has declined even more, so that she Is
wasted to a shadow and eats hardly any
thing, her strength being sustained by
highly concentrated preserves She spends
most of her time reading now except
when she is seized with restlessness, and
then she needs somebody to talk TO fler

MARIN COUNTY HAS A MAN.

SAUSALITO, Aug. S.-Editor Call: Marin County strongly favors the can didacy of General John H. Dickinson for Governor. In the first place, his services to this section as a legislator have been numerous and important and have earned a grateful remembrance. In the second place, apart from all local considerations, we consider him head and shoulders superior to the other competitors on the Republican side of the house. In experience, capacity, thorough knowledge of government and of the needs of the State, he is equipped as no one else is who has been men toned in connection with the high of- fee. Besides, the people of Marin think it about time that Northern California, and especially the section around the bay of San Francisco, was being con sidered. It is twenty years since we have had Governor in touch with US. Los Angeles furnished three Governors in succession = Stoneman, Waterman and Markham. Budd is closer to the south than he is to the north Noth- ing but plenty of nerve could inouce the statesmen below Tehachapi to ask for another turn at the wheel North ern California wants a chance this time and Dickinson is the man of Marin County's choice. No candidate other than the general is mentioned here. In fact, it is Dickinson first, last and all the time. J. H. PRYOR,

BROWN WOULD BEAT MAGUIRE.

GRIDLEY, Aug. S.-Editor Call: L. H. Brown is undoubtedly first choice of Republicans in this locality for Gov- ernor. On account of his experience as Secretary of State he is particularly fitted for the performance of the duties attached to the position, and he is re- garded by party leaders as clean man. He will doubtless run well throughout the State and will make the strongest man against Mcguire, provided the lat ter is nominated by the Democrats. whom the Republicans can put in the field. Davis of Alameda is a favorite of the local Republican papers, but Gage of Los Angeles will be the most probable second choice of Butte Coun- ty.-Gridley Herald Qnd).

MONEYLES MEN BARRED. Shipmasters Notified Not to Land Impecunious Passengers on the
 St. Michael Reservation.

Recent reports from St. Michael show that that port is crowded with Yukon goldseekers who are stranded there. Some invested their last cent in purchasing transportation from companies which have failed to carry out their contract to land their passengers at Dawson. Others had just enough money to reach St. Mi chael, hoping In some way to work their way up the Yukon from that point. These men in their desperation are becoming dangerous element which the small mill itary force may be unable to hold in check. In order to prevent an increase in the number of penniless men at St. Mi chael a notice has been issued by direc- ton of General Merriam to all shipmas- ters engaged in carrying passengers to ports in North Alaska that orders have been given by which the commanding of ficer at Fort St. Michael will prevent the landing of any passengers on that mill tary reservation unless abundant and sat isfactory proof Is given of their ability to support themselves for one year, or of their ability and intention to proceed at once beyond the international boundary.

A FAINT HEART.

Brown is undoubtedly first choice Prior to his election as clerk of the Supreme Court he resided in this section and Is known to many of our people, an1< in fact, is looked upon as a Sola.foite. For a second choice any of the gentle men named in your dispatch I am sure would be equally acceptable to the Re- publicans here.

mento County for Governor and he would make the strongest candidate that could possibly be nominated at this time. H. T. Gage is an unknown quantity to Republicans in this part of the State and he is but little heard of, except through the press. Among the young men, Lou Brown and Thomas Flint Jr. are both very popular. J. H. Neff is coming to the front and devel- oping much strength. His friends say With Neff for Governor and Flint for Lieutenant Governor a winning ticket could be put in the field"

FROM soNOMA COUNTY.

HEALDSBURG. Aug. S.-Editor Call: The undoubted choice of this locality for Governor is w. R. Davis. He was raised in SOnOma County and the rec ord of his later years of life passed in Alameda County is such that without question the Republicans of Sonoma County and her voters generally ire spective of party would rally to his support if he is chosen as the standard bearer of the party. As to second choice there is a wide difference and no definite ideas have been formed. L. H. Brown or L. R. Ellert would probably be second choice. F. W. COOK,

RED BLUFF, Aug. S.-Editor Call: Opinion here has not concentrated upon any one of the candidates for Cover nor who has yet been proposed. None of those mentioned can claim any fol- lowing to speak of in Tehama County. L. R. Ellert is looked upon here as a strong man and as an able man and should the delegates from this county vote disinterestedly he would probably get the preference. pr. Pardee is ire quently spoken of in connection with the Governorship and has some sup port here. Tn the list of names that has been presented these two men seem to be strongest in this section.

VENTURA, Aug. S.-Editor Call: H. T. Gage first choice. Thomas Flint Jr second. L. R. Ellert has many sup porters. Gage is the strongest candi- date, being from Southern California. Many Republicans think that he should be Senator to succeed White The can- didacy of Williams for Judge, Black stock for Railroad Commissioner and Black for Superintendent causes many prominent Republicans to refuse to ex- press their opinion.
