PAIN. YOUR HOUSE AND GET YOUR PAINT FROn
SHOOTING AT DALLAS.
], ]. Reeves Killed a Negro Who
Insulted His Wife.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 15,-About 8
o'clock tonight in the Gulf, Colora
do and Sante Fe passenger station,
j, ] Reeves, a white business man
of Mt. Pleasant, Texas, killed Geo
Lewis, a Dallas negro, in the pres
ence of several hundred passengers
who were waiting to take return
excursion trains to their homes at
ter Sunday visit to the State
Fair. Mr.. and Mrs. Reeves were
sitting in the ladies section of the
waiting-room waiting for the Cot
to Belt train to start for Mt. Pleas
ant. The negro approached Mrs.
Reeves, called her vile name and
attempted to force her from the
chair in which she was sitting, Her
husband sprang up, fred two shots
from a pistol and the negro fell
dead. One bullet passed through
his head and the other through his
heart. Reeves was placed under
arrest and is held in custody at the
county Jail.
We learn several of our city peo-
pie were in the depot and on the
platform at the time of the shoot
ing, but none of them were eye
witnesses or in ear shot of what
was said leading to the killing. If
the negro acted rudely to the lady
as is stated he did, he certainly
stood in need of discipline, and
nothing disciplines a negro like a
we'll aimed pistol in the hands of a
defender of females against white
or colored brutes.
The Dallas News Of this morning
says Reeves was carried before a
court, and the testimony taken and
he was admitted to bail in the sum
of $4,000

RETURNING VOLUNTEERS.

The transports Ohio and Newport
were sighted off San Francisco harbor
just as the Mariposa left. The Second
Oregon Regiment and California Signal
Service men were on board.
At once the screaming OF sirens on
the city front announced the .tidings
to the entire city, and the towns across
the bay. A moment later the firing of
cannon began, shot after shot, as IL
thundered out in salute, placing the
meaning of the earlier signals beyond
doubt At almost the same moment,
on numberless ilagstaffs throughout the
city, the national colors shot upward
and the Stars and Stripes, everywhere
flung to the breeze, gave yet further
emphasis to the fact that the soldier
boys We're returning. Crowds of people
hurried to the heights overlooking the
northern bay, eager to catch the first
glimpse possible of the ships bring
ing back the men who had dared and
suffered so much in the Far East in
their country's cause. The trip into
and up the bay is a long one and the
announcement was speedily made that
1t would be o'clock before the trans
ports would reach their anchorage.

NEW ORLEANS, July 12.-The
Picayune prints the following:
News OF the gravest import from
Guatemala was brought to this city
by passengers on the Snyder steamship
Breakwater. which touched at four or
five of the leading Central American
ports before putting in here late Mon
day night.
"Just before sailing for New Or
leans" said one of the passengers. 81
was informed by several persons that
make a naval demonstration at the
two leading ports Of the Republic Of
Guatemala. | learned that a large
amount OF bonds ISSUED by the Govern
ment of Guatemala and held by En-
glish and German interests have been
practically repudiated and that the
German and English holders have pro-
tested vigorously to their govern
ments.
-Four warships are said to have
been ordered to Guatemala waters,
two German and two English. One
of each flag will proceed to Puerto
Barrios and one of each nation will be
sent to San Jose de Guatemala, which
is on the Pacific side of the republic.
The point that most interests the
United States Is that If this seizure OF
the custom-houses should result in a
long holding Of those ports, in order
that the amount could be collected, II
would be necessary for protectorate
to be established over the republic of
Guatemala while this was going on. In
| that case, the natural course Of affairs
! would be to turn TO either Mexico or
the United States for that protectorate
The first proposition would hardly be
probable because of the bad feeling
existing between Guatemala and the
republic of Mexico over the boundary
dispute.

PAUL JONES' REMAINS.

WASHINGTON. July 12-Inquiry
was recently made at the State De
partment in regard to the grave oi
John Paul Jones, the great naval hero
of Revolutionary days. who died in
Paris on July Is, 1882. He was buried
there with the highest honors by the
French government, but it appears
that the present location of his grave
is not known. The Secretary of State
recently addressed a letter to Henry
Nignaud of the United States Embas-
sy, in Paris asking whether the grave
OF John Paul Jones in Paris is known
and marked lie has received reply
from Mr.. Nignaud, saying that, nj,
though he has made earnest and fire.

In regard 10 the matter, he has been
unable to discover the whereabouts oI
the grave. one thing established by
his inquiries, however, he says, is that
John Paul Jones was not buried IN
the cemetery where the remains of La,

some people. In another letter IL IL

Among the list of those assigned to
the former regiment appears the name
of s. w. Widdifield a Honolulu boy,
who enlisted in San Francisco in the
First California Regiment at the out
break of the war with Spain.
II will be remembered that when the
First Californias were in this city on
their way to Manila that Sam Widdi-
field, the Turton boys. Hammer and
other island boys were made much of
and II Is gratifying to add that nothing
but good accounts have been received
of them since.
Lieutenant Widdifeld must have
earned his promotion by strict atten-
tion to duty and soldierlike conduct in
general, for the writer Is well enough
acquainted with Major General Otis Ia
know that he would never recommend
an incompetent man to a position OF
honor and responsibility, such Is usual
ly only attained after years of the
dry routine of military service.
Lieutenant Widdifeld's appointment
is not only an honor to himself and
the place of his birth, but is a graceful
tribute paid by President Mckinley
and Major General Otis to the loyalty

THE ROCKING THRONE OF FRANCE
TREMENDOUS UPHEAvAI. X


IF the royalists of France desire a king,
and are strong enough to place one upon
the throne. they will not have to go far
from the line of direct succession, from
the great Napoleon l., to find a man who
is fitted to reign by that right, which is
called 1.-The divine right of kings"
England has made a greater jump
many time in the history when the sue
cession has reverted to nieces and cous-
ins, and. it is claimed, many of the
thrones of Europe are now supplied with
rulers about whose knightly right there
is a constant question.
The most pleasing succession is always
that by which the crown descends from
father to eldest son, and SO on down
through countless generations, the for
mer teaching the latter to rule we'll.
In France there is no direct living de-
scendant from the first Napoleon. but
there are sons and daughters of the
brothers of Napoleon, and these cOnsti-
tute today the royal family of France,
"the French pretenders," they are called
who should be upon the French throne
and occupying the magnificent palace OF
the Elysee in place of the president and
his wife. according to the opinion of a
very large party of people in France.
These are called royalists because they
desire the return of royalty; and when
there is trouble In France there is always
a great deal of fear of the royalist party.
lest it rise. armed, and place it's king
upon the throne.
The republicans of France are those
who desire to maintain republic ruled
by a president and cabinet, but the roy
alists sigh for a return of the days of
king, and so, between the two opposing
factions, France is always uncertain.
ROYALIsT SUPPORTERS.
1t is likely that If sufficient time is al
lowed to pass, the royalists will grow
weaker; or at least the politicians of Eu-
rope so declare; but as long as there live
people who remember the French king
dom as it existed in the days of Napoleon
and Eugene, just so long will there be
people who long to see those days return,
and who are willing to fight to bring
them back.
OF late the royalist feeling has grown
stronger; and strangely enough the
Dreyfus case has been made the pivotal
point upon which the people swung. The
anti-Dreyfusites are in favor of a mon
archy again; but those who believe in
Dreyfus want republic and a continu-
ance of the days of President Loubet and
his present cabinet. All through the days
of the Dreyfus trial the royalists and re-
publicans waged a wordy war and it was
feared, and it is still feared, that the
Dreyfus matter may end in the over

chorus of cheers from quite a crowd that
had assembled on the shore.
After marveling at the luck of Mr. Mar
tins cast and measuring the snake. which
was an inch or two over four feet. the
two men proceeded to take him off the
hook. But snakes die hard, and all of d
sudden the moccasin made a desperate
effort to come back to life. He nearly
succeeded, and it took several more blows
with the oar to make the job "a sure thing.
In the scrimmage, Mr.. Martin got a
scratch from the hook about an inch long
on one of his fingers. Most men would
have been badly scared, for all of the
moccasin snakes are poisonous. But Mr..

NUMEROUS CLAIMANTS.

NUMEROUS CLAIMANTS.
There is a sister, the Princess Letitia,
who married an Italian prince. and who
has a 1O-year-od boy, Humbert. who
is in line of succession. in case of the
death or withdrawal of his uncles, Victor
and Louis.
Napoleon, the first and great, had an
other brother, Lucien, whose descendants
are many; besides there are numerous
male cousins, all of the Bonaparte fam
lily
Thus. it is plainly shown. that should
the royalist party become strong in
France. it will have no lack OF candidates
for the throne, all entitled to chance at
the succession, if royalty be regained.
The eXEmpress Eugene, considered
by many the most powerful woman in
France. must not be forgotten, for it is
upon her that the royalists rely for En-
glish aid. her well known friendship for
Queen Victoria being the foundation
stone upon which ouch hopes rest. And
this is another reason why the royalists
are unusually active now; they fear that
If the queen dies there will be no such
support: for it is we'll known that the
prince of Wales cherishes no such love
for Eugene as his mother bears. Eugene
herself is 73, and. were she gone, great
and very powerful element embracing

Spaniard though she is, rules the aristoc-
racy of France, and has always been able
to summon funds and friends to he; aid.
AT the death of Eugenie's son, the
prince imperial, in 1879, the royalists
gave up hope; they had hoped to crown
him at the fast approaching age of 81,
and for time it seemed as though the
death knell to royalist hopes had been
sounded.
But the fire which had only been
smothered and never quenched, broke
out from time to time. 1t seemed as il
it were only awaiting the fuel for a
steady flame. And the fuel came, in the
Dreyfus case, when the royalists decided
that the army was right and Dreyfus
guilty Of treason. That the president
and his party should decide that Drey-
fus was an abused man was too much
to bear, and they showed their feelings
openly. The last chapter of the Dreyfus
case has not yet been written, and it is
the prayer of the republican party in
France that it may not be written in
blood.

throw of the Loubet government. TIC
, make the matter worse, President Lou
bet has shown by his actions that he fav-
ored Dreyfus, or at least favored justice
for him. and the matter grows more and
more complicated.
The best people in France are said tC
| be the royalists, but of that it is difficult
J! for foreigner to decide. Count Castel-
| lane, a man of undoubted aristocracy
| has declared himself for the royalists
and has admitted that he supplied them
:, with funds: and to the counts name
might be added a hundred better known
in Europe.
The man who the royalsts are anxious
to see upon the throne, in place of l-oubet
in the presidents chair. is Prince Napo-
leon Victor. the son of the late Prince
| Napoleon, who is directly descended
from Jerome Bonaparte, the brother OF
Napoleon the great.
THE FUTURE KING.
Prince Napoleon Victor was born in
| 1862 and is consequently 81; no boy, sure
ly. but younger than many rulers of as
great countries as France. The prince is
very quiet in disposition and has lived
for many years quietly III Brussels, where
he maintains very comfortable bachelor
quarters frequented by the nobility of
the country, who still regard him as a
king. He receives a pension from the
French government. but is not allowed
to visit Paris for fear of exciting the roy
alists and injuring the interests of the
republic. The prince, who is very good
looking, is much like his mother in dis
position, the gentle Princess Clotilde,
who is the sister of King Humbert of
Italy:
The royal families Of France and Italy
are very closely related. All the mar
II, TO t1,a \,
throne have been made in Italy, and to-
day the French royal family is almost as
much Italian as French.
One reason for this speedy intermar-
rying may be the religion of the coun-
tries, which is the same. Italy, France
and Spain are allied in religion and the
tie Is a strong one On this account it is
thought tAat Italy and Spain might rise
with the royalists to place Prince Napo-
leon Victor on the throne, but the sug-
gestion is not encouraged by assurances.
Late last year it was announced,
though unofficially. that Prince Napoleon
Victor had little desire for the throne,
being too retiring in disposition; and that
he had renounced all rights in favor of
his younger brother, Prince Napoleon
Louis, who is just 35 years old, and a
much more pronounced king in manner,
education and appearance. Louis was
educated in the Russian army and is an
acknowledged statistician; in spite of
his long exile he is French to the very
heart, fact which has not escaped the
