SAN FRANCISCO, June 22-News
has been received from Paris that Lady
Yarde-Buller is now inmate of an
insane asylum, and that it will be i'm
possible to secure her release for ait
least two years. She is the eldest
daughter of the late General r. w.
kirkham, U. S. A.
a few months ago she was found
wandering about West Oakland, and
after an examination as to her mental
condition was discharged. Then she
made a deed of trust of her estate,
valued at about 500, ,0Q0 to her cousin
and attorney, Ernest Wakeman, Who
has since managed her affairs. Re
Gently Mr.. Wakeman took her to Eng
land to secure an alleged marriage set
Element of $4,000 but it was found
that the lady was actually in debt
there. She was taken to Paris by Mr..
and Mrs. Wakeman, but made her es-
cape one day, and was placed in an
asylum by the authorities.
Lady Yar6e-Buller was born in a
frontier military camp, and for years
was a reigning beauty. Her father
was worth million dollars. She mar
ried an insurance man named Blair,
and after his death became the wife of
Yarde- Butler, second son of a noble
English house, who a few years ago
secured a divorce from her.

Crews of Foreign Warships Said to
Occupy Manila.

LONDON, June 23-The DAILY
News" publishes statement alleged
to come from a correspondent having
access to good Information that the
occupation of Manila by parts of the
crews of the foreign warships there is
an accomplished fact, although it may
be three or four days before the official
news arrives by way of HongkOng.
The communication proceeds to say:
"Over month ago Admiral Dewey pre-
pared to lombard Manila. At this
Juncture, however, a new factor was
added to the situation. The German
Consul, acting on precise instructions,
which had just arrived by the German
warship Irene. strongly opposed a bonn
bardment. These instructions were clear
and categorical, and emanated directly
from Emperor Williams Cabinet.
1T was then that Admiral Dewey
asked for re-enforcements. and sup
piled Aguinaldo with arms. While Ger
many gathered a naval force, the in
tention at Berlin was, If not to take
possession of Manila, at least to CO.
operate in the landing, Admiral
Dewey's force not being sufficient to
protect German interests. Captain
General Augusti had on his part in
formed his Government Of the situation.
and several interviews took place at
Madrid with the German Embassador
the result being that it was decided
that Captain General Augusti should
appeal to the foreign warships at Ma
Mia. excluding the American to pro-
tect the lives and property of the in
habitants against the insurgents.
1T was an indirect act of capitula
ton, while sparing Spanish mour
propre. There is no doubt Admiral Won
Diedrichs has taken command of the
forces landed, although he has not
taken possession in behalf of Germany,
but will he, when the American re-
endorsements arrive, be willing to allow
his forces to re-embark? The whole
question lies there"
Reports from Manila says a special
dispatch from Shanghai. indicate the
existence of fears that Sonora August,
wife of Captain General Augusti. and
her children have been massacred by
the rebels on the Bulacan.

Return From Alaska With Hard

SEATTLE (Wash) June 22.-Fifty
prospectors who left here last spring
for Alaska by way of Copper River,
arrived here to-day on their way to
their Eastern homes with hardluck
stories and no gold.
A. III. Hostetter Of LAGRANGE, Ind,
was with 200 men that crossed Tas-

dreds that landed at the foot of the
Naldes Glacier, only one party had
been in further than the konsinu, and
they returned half starved, having lost
their outfits in the rapids. 1t was re-
ported that seven lives had been lost in
the rapids, but the report had not been
confirmed
The most diScouraging story is told by
a. G. Jones of St. Louis. He said about
500 men have been turned back, and
are waiting at Valdes for some means
of getting out of the country. Some
have no money. and will have to re-
main there Until the Government sends

Every Possible Effort Being Made
by Secretary Gage
To Put Into Operation on July Ist the Ad.
hesiye Stamp Sections.
It Is Not Thought to be Possible,
However, to Have the Necessary
Stamps on Sale in All Parts of
the Country ON the Date Re-
quired by the Act.

WASHINGTON, June 22-Every
possible effort is being made by the
Secretary of the Treasury to put into
operation on July 1St the adhesive
stamp tax sections of the war revenue
Act 1t is not thought possible, how
ever, to have stamps on sale In all
parts of the country on that date.
The law declares that it shall be
deemed a misdeameanor not to affix a
stamp to any bank check, note, draft,
ETC., punishable by a fine not exceeding
S2U0. The law further declares that
such unstamped instruments, dOcu-
mentS or papers shall not be competent
evidence in any court, in fact, void. 1t
IS believed that many embarraSsments
and even losses cannot be avoided.
Nevertheless the force at the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing is working
every hour of the twenty-fOur to get
out the stamps, and efforts will be
made to reduce to a minimum en-
barrassments arising out of the new
law.
About 100000 stamps will be shipped
to the Pacific Coast to-day, and other
shipments will follow in rapid success
sion. The stamps will be sent to Col
lectors of Internal Revenue and by
them distributed to the deputies. Ma
tional banks in each town will receive
telegraphic requests to handle the
stamps for the benefit of the public UNI
till other arrangements can be made
for their distribution. The low rate Of
discount, l per cent, allowed to per-
sons purchasing stamps in quantities
of 500. it is believed, will operate to
make it difficult TO secure e sufficient
number of local agencies to supply the
public needs, but special appeals will
be made and the hope is expressed that
there will be found in every community
a sufficient number of public spirited
citizens to undertake to handle the
stamps.
The Attorney General takes a less
serious view than some of the other
officials of the situation. Any failure
to affiX stamps to commercial and other
papers subject to a tax, it is said
could be remedied by compliance with
the law at any time, and even should
the matter be brought into court, it is
doubted If the courts would impose the
penalty where there was not shown an
intent to defraud the Government of
its revenues. If the stamp required was
not procurable at the time the instru-.
ment was drawn, the Government, and
not the individual, would be respon-
sible.
In view of the doubt existing as to
the possibility of getting sufficient
quantity of stamps to far western
points in time for use July 1st, Secre-
tary Gage has had under consideration
to-day the question of using postage
stamps of certain denominations with
the letters Il. r. imprinted thereon.
The Postmaster General has been Ques-
TONED on the subject and he has ad-
vised the Treasury Department that
he can furnish such number of stamps
as may be requird as a temporary ex-
pedient.

presumably. He contradicted this, and
then made out the following statement
about the cost of that simple little
dinner
The pepper, he said, came from ten
thousand miles away. 1t grew on a 1T
tie bush about eight feet high. which
must have had a growth of at least
five years. The pepper was picked
green; it had to be dried in the sun, and
this meant employing women. 1t took
one ship and one thousand miles of
railroad to bring the pepper to the
United States. The flour of which the
bread was made came from Dakota;
some one owned the land and that
meant the investing of capital, and
then he had also to pay wages to
workingmen. The flour had TO be
ground, and the building of the mill,
and the plant of machinery, meant
more money invested. The millers had
to be paid. coopers had to be paid for
making the barrels, and, of course, the
wood of which the barrels We're made
had to be cut and sawed and shaped.
and this meant the employing of Elore
men. Then the flour had to be shipped
over the railroad and handled again
by cartmen before it came into the
house
The tea on the table came from China
and the coffee from South America
The Goldfish had to be brought from
Maine. Men had to be employed to
catch the fish: thensother men and wo-
men We're employed in drying, pack
ing and boxing it, and it, too, had to
make long railroad journey The salt
came from the northwestern part of
New York State. The spices in the
cake came from the Spice Islands, over
in the Indian Archipelago The canned
peaches came from California, and they
too, represented the employment cf
capital and labor. The simple little
dinner represented. directly or indi-
rectly. the employment of $500, ,O000 900
Of capital and 5,000900 men.

A writer in an English weekly jour
nal says that it is curious fact that
red-haired people are far less apt to
go bald than those with other colored
hair. The average crop ON the head
of a red-haired person is only 30, 200
hairs. Ordinary dark hair is far finer,
and over three dark hairs take up the
space of one red one; 105, 900 are
about the average. But irhaired
people are still better off; 140, 600 to
100, 900 are quite a common number
of hairs on the scalp of fair haired
man or woman.
A curious calculation has been
made, to the effect that the hairs on
the head of fair haired person, if
they could be plated together, would
sustain a weight of something like
eighty tons, equaling that of 500 peo-
pie,

Road building is q science that de-

ence, if it is to be placed on level
with other engineering pursuits. We
are only just beginning to realize
this, and are taking for our models
the constructions of the past and fol-
lowing the teachings of earlier gener-
atoms, because the necessity and i'm
portance of having good highways has
come upon us so suddenly that we
have, as yet, had no opportunity to do
otherwise.
Good as are the roads that earlier
generations have constructed, and
fine as are the roads that are now
built on similar lines in some coun-
tries, it is not likely that, with mod
ern resources and ingenuity, we
shall rest permanently on present
methods.

that new, better and cheaper methods

subject so completely mastered aud
systematized that when the condi-

view of It's abilities, resources and
needs. Everything looking toward
this end is helpful, and reasonable
and careful experiments are to be
