sue of the London Gazette to the effec
that ''the queen had been pleased t
accept the resignation OF Thomas R
! Griffith. recently governor of some O.
the Leeward islands. of his cross as
companion of the most distinguished
Order of St Michael and St George.
Much speculation has besn caused as
| to the reasons which have prompted
this old and tried member OF the Brit
ish colonial service to take so extraor-
! binary a step. l understand that the
motives are of d twofold character. II
the first place. he is cruelty disappoint-
ed at not having received his prom D.
ton n the order at the close of his
long and honorable career. while
seemingly, he has lately become nat
uralized as IN American citizen, and
has taken in literal sense that part
of the oath of allegiance 20 the United
States which prescribes the abandon
ment of all foreign titles OF nobility
and similar honorific distinctions.
l may Incidentally state here that 1
have never yet been quite able to I'M
derstard why American citizens
should be permitted to accept Euro
pean orders of knighthood. while any
foreigner becoming an American citI-
zen is required to give up any Of those
which he may have earned by a life
time of arduOus service.
I wonder # people in this country
have any idea of the extraordinary
number of United States citizens thar
there are who have received and who
wear orders OF k1ignthOOd conferred
by foreign governments. l only know
of one single instance of an English
order being conferred upon al Amer
can. namely, Captain Pearson Of the
United States navy. who was decOr2t-
ed by the queen with the Order of the
Bath for assistance rendered to the
English al the time of some trouble in
japanese waters, more than tLtrty
years ago.
But there are any number of Ameri-
cans who are knights Of the French
Legion of Honor. including Perry Bel
mont, Edison. General SickIes, Gen
eral Butterfeld, etc Others again,
such as General George achelor, ex-
under secretary of the treasury, Gen
eral Stone, and many more, wear
orders, as do also at least 4
dozen American ladies, including Mrs
Wnitelaw Reid. Mrs. Lew Wallace and
Mrs. Cox. NJ LOCbst and plenty more
have papal and Italian orders. While
there are even some, such as REGINALD

RESULT Of A FOOL JOKE.
A LITTLE CHILD WITH ONE
ARM BROKEN.
Her Infant Sister Narrowly Escapes
Being Tramp1ed Under a
Horses Feet.

The tWenty-one-m months old daughter
of Mrs Emily Washington. who lives
across the river in Yolo, was severely
injured at Second and 1 streets last
evening-the innocent victim of an al
legged practical joke which lacked all
elements of fun.
One of the proprietors Of Will Bros
produce store on Third street, between
1 and ], while driving along Second
street. near I, overlook a Chinese
vegetable wagon, and just for the fun
of the thing dashed the horse with his
whip.
The animal became unmanagea BILE,
and taking the bit between its teeth,
dashed upon the sidewalk near the
southwest corner of the street.
Mrs Washington was passing with
her three children. One, a girl of 10
years, was wheeling a baby buggy, in
which was a nursing infant, While the
smaller child was walking beside the
carriage.
The Chinaman's horse dashed di-
rectly toward the group, but the child
who was wheeling the buggy, seeing the
danger, drew out of danger the buggy
however, was in the track of the fright
ened animal, and was knocked down
and run over.
That it escaped with it's life was really
remarkable. The little tot was picked
up by sympathetic onlookers and taken
to the Receiving Hospital; where City
Physician Nichols attended it. One of
its arms was broken, and it was other
wise bruised. After being treated it
was taken to its home.
Will, who struck the Chinaman' S
horse, told Officer Naghel that he was
responsible for the accident and would
pay for all damages
The Chinaman, whose wagon was de-
molished, visited police headquarters
and demanded a warrant for Willis ar
rest. The City Attorney not being
present, he was told to come this morn
ing, and promised to do so.

officer and one who had gained much
experience even before the Spanish

istrations he had held different staff
positions.
Recently Colonel Duboce particularly
distinguished himself at Manila. After
the outbreak Of the Filipinos the insur-
gents were making use of a church as a
fort to fire upon the American troops

them Finally Colonel Duboce called for
few volunteers, then, leading his men
charged the church in the face of a hot
fire, and spilling coal oil, set fire to the
edifice. In this way the sharpshootere
were driven out

Who's to Blame ?

News from Madrid says that General
Martinez Campos has insisted upon the
appointment of a commission to investi-
gate the conduct of the war and to place
the responsibility. Carelessness and ne
glect all through the war gave rise to
the most disastrous conditions, but no
more dangerous than comes from neglect
of the health. 1t is every ones duty to
guard his health. 1t is easier TO keep it
than regain it. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
