A long talk on the bond proposition
followed, in which Mayor Lands idea
was considered at length The idea
seemed to prevail that the proper thing
to do was to first learn whether the
statute of limitation runs on the
bonds, and If it is found that it does not,
then the Mayors plan ought to be con-
sidered.
Before the close Of the meeting
special committee was appointed to in

uation, the members of which are Will

A PIONEER GONE.
Death of f. X. Krauth, an Early
Day Sacramentan.

F. X. Krauth, one of the best known
newspaper men in California, died at
an early hour yesterday morning at his
home in Alameda. He had been Ill
several months, and during the last six
weeks he had been very feeble. On
the Sth of the present month his wife
died, and that was the last stroke which
broke the old gentleman down.
Mr.. Krauth was "a years of age, a
native of Hagerstown Md, and came to
California in 1S49. He was a printer
by trade, and after the usual first ex-
perience in gold digging which every
pioneer underwent he returned to the
practice of his trade and was employed
on the Placerville Democrat" From
there he came to this city, and for a
long time was foreman of the Sacra-
mento Job Office.
Later he owned the Santa Cruz "Sen-
tinef' and other papers. In 1868 he as-
tablished the Alan da "Encinal," which
he conducted until two years ago.

the Chamber of Commerce, held in the
Suffer Club rooms, considered that it
would be more acceptable if we could

ITO this end we addressed a letter
to Frank r. Clifton, local manager of
the Orpheum, copy of which is sent
herewith, and in response received the
reply which We submit herewith. The
entertainment. we believe, was entirely
satisfactory. In view of the liberality
shown by Mr.. Clifton, and believing il
IS incumbent upon the business men OF

My plan is to sell the Sacramento

and to issue new bonds for $4,000, at
per cent, with which to pay the street,
levee and sewer bonds now held by the
Funded Debt Commissioners. This
would reduce the interest on the last
named bonds about ST ,665 year Then
have the Funded Debt Commissioners
turn over all cash including the 1884,
coo. as above suggested, to the City
Treasurer, who will then advertise for
the redemption of the old bonds, as pro-
vided for by Section 100 of the City
Charter, and thus stop the interest on
such bonds"
Mayor Land said his plan was to ask
the Funded Debt Commissioners to re-
sign, after which the city's debt could
be refunded with the money on hand.
and the interest on the bonds be stop
ped. The latter meant, he said, that
the tax levy of next year would not ex-
coed 81 80.
The Mayor said that some of the
Commissioners declined TO resign be-
cause they thought that, under the
law, they had no right to do so until
1903 when all of the bonds will have
fallen due. He hoped the Chamber of
Commerce. as a body. would take hold
Of the matter and assist him to give
the taxpayers breathing spell.

Napoleon's Lost Treasure.

The recent find of an old military
knapsack filled with French gold
pieces coined about the beginning OF
the century near Vino, Russia, recalls
the dreadful fate Of Napoleon's grand
army and its disastrous Russian cam
paign in 1912. After the destruction
of Moscow the bold conqueror was
compelled to seek safety, but his return
to the frontier was not the retreat of
an orderly army; it was flight with all
its horrors. Napoleon himself hurried
back in advance of his army, in order
to steady the throne. which had be-
come shaky by events in Paris and
elsewhere. The shipping of the war
treasure, which at that time still con-
tanned 100000 francs, and which was
transferred in barrels in carriages
drawn by picked horses, was intrusted
to Marshal Ney. Napoleon never saw
the treasure again, and where it has
remained was kept a profound secret
for a long time. Under strong cover
the transportation of the treasure was
started for the frontier, but not far
from Vino the wagons stuck in a defile
and it seemed impossible to get them
out again. Rather than see the treas
ure in the hands of the Russians, Field
Marshal Ney gave orders to break open
the barrels and distribute the money
to the returning soldiers as they passed
by, and thus it was done. Many of the
soldiers threw away all their belong
ings in order to fill up their knapsacks
with gold, but only few of those who
carried the heavy wealth were able to
drag the burden to the frontier, and
the very gold which was intended for
their benefit was the cause of their
perishing.

as AZ the third command he pull 81
slowly off his coat, there went a sob
through the school. They saw then
why he did not want TO remove his
coat, and they saw the shoulder blades
had almost cut through the skin, and
a stout, healthy boy rose up and went
to the teacher of the school and said:
"Oh, sir, please don't hurt this poor
fellow; whip me; hee. he's moth
ing but a poor chap; don't hurt him.
he's poor; whip me-" WELL" said
the teacher, 'it's going to be a severe
whipping; am willing to take you as
substitute" "Well," said the boy,
81 don't care; you whip me, If you will
let this poor fellow CO." The stout,
healthy boy took the scourging with
out an cutlery. Bravo" says every
man-"Bravo" How many of us are
willing to take the scourging, and the
suffering, and the toll, and the anxiety
for the people! Beautiful things
to admire, but how little we have Of
that spirit! God give us that self
denying spirit so that whether we
are in humble spheres or in conspicu-
GUS spheres we may perform our whole
duty-for this struggle will soon DO
over
One of the most affecting remiAis-
cences of my mother is my remem-
brance of her as a Christian house
keeper. She worked very hard, aud
when we would come in from summer
play, and sit down at the table at noon,
| remember how she used to come in
with beads of perspiration along the
line Of gray hair, and how sometimes
she would sit down at the table and
put her head against her wrinkled
hand and say, "Well, the fact is. I'm
too tired to eat" Long after she might
have delegated this duty to others,
she would not be satisfied unless she
attended to the matter herself In fact
we all preferred to have her do so,
for somehow things tasted better when
she prepared them. Some time ago,
in an express train, shot past that old
homestead. l looked out Of the win
dow, and tried to peer through the
darkness. While l was doing so, one
of my old schoolmates, whom l had
not seen for many years, tapped me
on the shoulder, and said, "De Witt.
see you are looking out at the scenes
of your boyhood" "Oh, yes" l re-
piled. II was looking out at the old
place where my mother lived and died"
That night, in the cars, the whole
scene came back to me. There was
the country home There was the noon
day table There were the children on
either side of the table. most Of them
gone never tc come back. At one end
of the table, my father, with q smile
that never left his countenance even
when he lay in his coffin. It was an
eighty-four years smile-not the smile
of hamilton, but Of Christian courage
and of Christian hope. At the other
end Of the table was a beautiful, be-
nignant, Woodworking, aged Christian
housekeeper, my mother. She was very
tired. l am glad she has so good a
place to rest in. BLESSED are the
