A QUEENS SAD RELICS.
Mareherita Insisted on Having the
Bullet Which Killed Her Husband.

Mareherita Insisted on Having the
Bullet Which Killed Her Husband.
The queen mother of italy has had
in these days a reopening of the
wounds of last July, which the Minis
tiers of her sons government would
have given much to save her, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. A few days ago
the minister of justice received from
Milan the documents in connection
with the trial of Bresci and the bullet
that caused the death of the late king.
In the course of conversation the
minister mentioned the fact to the
Warehouses Villamarina. chief lady
in waiting TO Queen Margherita, who.
in her turn, informed her royal mis-
tress. Queen Margherita at once said
that the minister was to bring her the
bullet, appointing a day for the au-
dience. The minister consulted the
premier and his other colleagues in
office, who expressed the strong, opin.
ion that 1t was a pity to reawaken the
grief of the queen and that everything
should be done to avoid the audience.
However, the royal widow insisted so
strongly that the cabinet was Obliged
to give way. and the appointment was
/ kept.
Queen Margherita, as soon as the
audience was over, went at once to
the chapel which she has installed in
the Palazzo Margherta, as her new
home has been rechristened, and de
posted the fatal bullet. still incrusted
with the blood of the victim, In
cedar box, specially made to hold the
coat and blood-stained shirt worn by
her husband on the fatal evening. This
box is deposited at one side OF the
chapel, under a magnificent picture of
the late king, together with one OF his
swords and helmet.
The king has gone as far as pos
sible, without offending the just grief
of his mother, to induce her to give
him these sad relics, saying that he
will keep them as sacred as she would,
but so far with no success. II is con
sidered bad for the health Of Queen
Margherita to brood over the death OF
her husband, and to spend as much
time as she does praying in the chapel
However, at present nothing can be
done, but ii is hoped that the first year
of mourning over, she will allow her
self little more diversion.

with the thermometer at 80 degrees.
While the climate has its peculiarities,
when they are understood and guarded
against it is hard to surpass. 1t has
the popularity of all mild climates
that its cold is not severe, but damp,
in which it resembles Spain and Italy.
1t is a curious fact, but 40 degrees in
San Francisco seems colder than dry
zero weather in New England.
In San Francisco theory that it
is warm in winter has lasted for near
ly half a century. People have tried
to live in cold, damp houses, unwarmed
except for one or two CRATE fires.
Crate fires are very well in their way,
but rs per cent. of their heat goes up
the chimney. Many of the believers
in our mild winters having been con-
vinced of their error by pneumonia,
the theory is gradually losing ground.
During the last 10 or IL years most of
the new houses have been equipped
with furnaces. In the next 10 or IL
years all of the new houses will have
furnaces-that is, all above the cheap
est grade"

PecuIiarities of the Climate of Sai

can Oakland reader" says the San
Francisco Argonaut, objects to our
statement that the most trying fea-
ture of the climate of San Francisco is
the sudden and comparatively frequent
changes. BY the statement in ques-
ton we did not mean the sudden and
trying changes common to less favored
climes, like those of the eastern states
and central and northern Europe.
What we referred to were the regular
or diurnal changes which are part
of the San Francisco climate and
which are noticeable not only in win
ter, but in summer as well; in fact,
they are frequently more trying in
summer than in winter. In the
vicinity of San Francisco during the
past few weeks the temperature has
varied between 40 degrees and go de-
grees, but sometimes ad rop of Is de-
grees would take place between noon
and 6 o'clock. Similar changes take
place in summer, when people are
less on their guard. The San Fran
cisco climate is so peculiar that every
rainless winter day one sees people on
eastbound open cars with no wraps
and luxuriating in the bright sunshine,
while every minute they meet west
bound open cars in which people are
facing the northwest wind wrapped in
heavy overcoats and furs. The diff
ference between the shady and the
sunny sides of the streets is notorious
in San Francisco. On the south side
of Market street, for example, the
sidewalk and half of the street on win
ter days remain damp until noon
while on the north side the Sidewalk
is dry at o'clock in the morning

THE PRESIDENT AT PLAY.
How a ChId's Visit Added to the Mer

How a Child's Visit Added to the Mer-
riment Of the White House.
The congressmans wife continues
her excellent stories in the Saturday
Evening Post. Among others she tells
are the following:
well, you should have seen the
President at play few weeks ago. 1t
was very pretty sight. Little Leo
more P, child five or six, came
one day to the white house to see
Mrs. Mckinley. Mrs. Mckinley is
very fond of children and she asked
Leonora to visit her. Well, Leonora
arrived all starched and frilled and
with her best and primmest little
manners to the fore. Her old black
nanny nurse was with her, and il
was evident that Leonora had been
instructed to be very polite, and not
sit down in the presence of the mis-
tress of the white house unless
pressed to do so, and, above ali, to
answer all questions promptly. Both
the president and Mrs. Mckinley re-
ceived the child. They did all they
could to make her feel at home, but
Leonora was evidently good deal
awed. AZ last Mrs. Mckinley, observ-
ing the years of the old black nanny,
pressed her to sit down, and the child
too, but Leonora said admonishingly
to her nurse in an undertone, and
holding herself bolt upright:
No, nanny; servants must not
Sit
Why, Leonora,' said Mrs. McKin-
ley, much amused, 'mammy's an old
woman. And you sit down yourself
oh, yes'm, returned the child
gravely, but, then, I'm people
This reply nearly bowled the presi-
dent over, and he and Mrs. Mckinley
smiled broadly. Then Mrs. Mckinley
took out her watch, which contains
portrait of the president. She held
it out and said coaxingly:
" Leonora, you cannot tell me of
whom this is picture?
"Leonora drew near and scanned
the open watch. A bright look swept
over her face.
oh, yes'm, ] know who it isl
Well, who is it, LeonoraY
" It's Dewey
This was altogether too much for
the president. He went off into a fit
of laughter, long and loud"

just after a famous burglary three
men and two women had deposited
$4,000 each, in new bank-bills that
possibly were a portion of those that
had recently been stolen in transit
between the two banks. 1t was a
question whether the suspicion would
justify this action, which of course
would become public, perhaps get
into the newspapers, and some Hitter

with new twist given to it-not that
burglars had put money into the bank,

ARCHITECTS AROUSED.
Don't Want White House RemodeIed
by a Novice.


by Novice.
Who would have believed, asks the
editor of the Century Magazine, that
an attempt would be made, at the
end of century whose last decades
have been marked by the excellence Of
American architecture and by an inn
proved public taste in art, to impose
upon the nation of virtually new Ex-
ecutive Mansion, designed by a gen.
tleman who has not won his spurs as
an architect In country where no
one would think of building dwell
ing-house without employing the best
architectural talent he could afford,
the authorities seem to have thought
that the principal dwelling-house in
the country could be re-designed by
one who brings very little archi-
tectural experience to the work. The
statement sounds so preposterous
that we could hardly believe is pos
sible did there not lie before us, as we
write, the formal protest against the
action of the Washington authorities
in the part of twenty-eight art, histori-
cal, and architectural societies of the
United States, ranging in 10. lily
from San Francisco to Boston. The
entire profession of architecture in
America is officially represented in
the protest, which carries with 1t a
most sensible recommendation as to a
commission Of experts--a recommen-
dalton which 1t will be difficult for
congress to refuse to act upon. In
fact, commission is desirable TO for.
mulate scheme for obtaining a plan
for the grouping Of public buildings
and the treatment of parks
1t is proper that experts should
sound the note Of warning, but the in
telligence of the entire country will
join in this most righteous protest.
The common sense OF the American
people is sure to respond to a request
SO natural and so sensible. There vs.
only one other dwelling in America
concerning which the people cherish
an equal, or superior. sentiment.
Mount Ve-lon has been religiously
preserved. The best talent in the
country is not too good TO be employ
ed upon the White House.

Where does the rest of the money go?
In the first place, quite 500 must be
allocated to the chief for his origina-
tive genius and his administrative
talent. He must provide an expensive
establishment, luxuriously furnished,
in the heart of fashionable Paris. He
must surround himself with an
equally expensive staff. These items
would absorb another $780, Interest

would represent another $40. Con-

DISHONEST DEPosIToRs.
Humor and Pathos OF the Savings.
Bank in Great Cities.


Writing of the saving-banks and
their depositors in the Century, Rich
ard Boughton tells of the embarrass-
ment sometimes caused to bank
official by dishonest patrons.
The great bulk of depositors, per-
haps sixty-five per cent, and of the
laboring classes, the weekly-wage
earners; then come the middle and
well-to-do class, say thirty per cent;
and lastly the very rich man and the
criminal in about equal proportions.
BY criminal do not mean to confine
this class to bank burglars, check
forgers, and bank-note counterfeiters
you will see all of these if you
watch the line long enough-but in

avoid police notice when they can,

in Mulberry street; the rich keeper of
the fashionable gambling-house; the
woman who is suspected of knowing
the whereabouts of vanished thief
or forger; the man who never breaks
into the bank himself, but takes a
friendly and patronly interest in those
who do; and so on up and down the
scale of cosmopolitan vice. At one
time or another they all have savings
bank accounts. 1t seems incompre-
hensible, but people of all these class
es are frequent, even permanent, de-
positors. | do not say this from
