THE CHAFFEUR's STORY.
PARIS, Aug. 1G.-The chauffeur of the
automobile in which Mr.. and Mrs Charles
l.. Fair were killed. whose name is Brety,
returned to Paris this morning. In an
interview with the correspondent of the
Associated Press he threw some further
light on the cause of the accident say
ing:
"when we left Trouville Mr.. Fair was
suffering from bronchial catarrh he
COusHeu frequently on tne ROAD ana our
ing the fits of coughing his face was much
congested. evidently producing slight dig
ziness. He had just been coughing when
/ noticed that the tire of one of the hind
wheels was debated. realized the dan
ger and jumped to my feet and leaning
forward / shouted in Mr.. Fairs ear in
English: Stop quick! Tire no good Mr.
Fair glanced back, but did not reply
Apparently he tried to stop. but in doing
~
movement as the machine swerved across
the road and went in a stright line for
tree. Mrs. Fair, as she saw the direc-
ton the automobile was taking, clasped
her husbands shoulders with her arms
and turned her face back towards me with
look which said plainly We are lost
The next moment came the crash and
was thrown into a field beside the road
and stunned. When l recovered, which
did uickly, I limped to the side of my
master and mistress and with the help
Of the chateau gate-keeper's We extri-
Gated the bodies from the wreck
Asked IL either then showed signs of
life Brety replied:
Both seemed to he dead. but | was in
such dazed condition from shock and 50
affected by the CHASTITY spectacle present
ed by the wounds on the heads of both
victims that / did not notice whether
either moved or not. The gate-keeper's s
wife said afterwards that Mr.. Fair NOV
ed his foot and that his wife moved her
hand as they lay on the ground but I
did not see the movements, The woman
did not say whether the man or his wife
stirred last"
The bodies are due to arrive in Paris at
1856 this afternoon. They will be de-
posted in the vault of the Church of
the Madeline until they are shipped to
the United States.

BOERS MAY COME
TO CALIFORNIA

FRESNO, August 15.-There arrived
prove of significance to Fresno county.
In the party are w. A. Bissell of San
Francisco, assistant traffic manager or
the Santa Fe; ]. ]. Byrne of Los An
geles. general passenger agent, and In
dustrial Commissioner Merritt of Chi
cago, and with them two Boer officers,
General Pierson and a friend, both or
whom took part in the recent war in
South Africa.
They represent wealthy Boer fami-
lies, who since the war have become
dissatisfied with home conditions be-
cause of their being subject to Eng
land. Arrived in America from Eng
land, they were met by Merritt the in
dustrial commissioner of the Santa Fe,
who escorted them across the continent
to California, believing that within the
boundaries of this State they would find
q climate not dissimilar TO their own AT
home and land which would be limited
in its wealth of production only by the
industry with which they cultivate It,
En- route they were met by Messrs. Bis
sell and Byrne, and by them directed
to the San Joaquin valley as the place
most likely to meet with their approval
/ Yesterday they were in Bakersfield
and on the lands OF the Kern County
Land Company, and, arriving here late
last night, spent the night in this city
and left on their special train at ar
early hour this morning for Laton anc
/ the Laguna de Tache. 1t Is not known
whetlAsr the party will continue to the
north or return south.
The Beers have come as the repre-
sentatives of a community Of well-to-d d'
farmers who have associated them
selves in this venture. They have beei
given full power to act, and their rec
concentrations as to a site for the col
ony will be final. Should this count.
please them 1t will mean that hundred
of Boer families will flock in here.

SAN JOSE, August 13.-There is a
probability that the Hotel ST. James
may be sold in the near future. 1t is
the desire of Mrs. Abigail X. Campbell

left his vast estate, including the Hotel
st. James in this city, to his wife and
tour children. The property was be-
queathed to Mrs. Campbell, Joseph o.
Carter and Cecil Brown, to be held in
trust for them as several Of the chill
dren We're not yet of age.
Mrs. Campbell has since married Colonel
Sam Parker the ceremony taking place

stll fresh in the minds of the people I'm
this city. Mr.. Parker is a resident of the
islands and the entire family make Ho-
nolulu their home.

the President has not discussed the
matter at all yet.
Minister |. b. Dudley, of Lima, mas
forwarded to the state Department the
following report as to sugar In the
Peruvian Republic:
Business conditions in Peru today
are in unfavorable contrast with those
of a year ago. The general prosperity
of the country may be fairly said TO
vary with that of the sugar producer, |
1t is true that new channels of invest |
ment are being opened and put to ac-
count, by reason of which this depend
ence may rapidly lessen: but the bulk
OF the capital-certainly 40 per cent
is invested in the plantations of cane
which occupy the irrigated valleys or
the coast. In consequence of the de-
cline in the price of sugar during the
last year, the industry has suffered
most severely, and with 1t all the allied
or dependent interests. On all planta-
! tions the number of laborers has been
greatly reduced.
THE annual export of sugar is ap-
/ proXimately 1901 600 tons. In 1899 sugar
/ sold for s2.6S per cwt. (. o. b.; today 1t
sells for $3.50. Prior to the fall in price,
| this expectation at the average price
of s2.43 per cwt. produced S5S4i,0OO; to-
| day that income is reduced to $780,
800. A commission was appointed few
days ago "to investigate and report TO
the executive on measures calculated
| to relieve the difficult situation of the
sugar industry"
one of the most difficult questions of
patronage President Roosevelt has been
called upon to settle for long time
has been practically settled-that or
the selection of a Commissioner for the
District of Columbia. in which the city
of Washington is located. There are
three of these Commissioners Re
publican a Democrat. and an army
, officer, each of whom receives salary
of 5000 year and an appointment for
J three years. which in the case of civili-
Ians is likely to be renewed. The re-

ed that he would rummage the house
for suitable clothes. Meanwhile their
two heads bent together over the page,
and the reader delivered her words
with a labored air, troubled by their
undue length:
"'King Charles might have succeed
ed in after life In making good king,
for he had many talents. but he was
always Of a va-cil-la-ting dls-po- si-tion.'
Now. what does that meanT
'Tt MEANS" began the king bitterly,
and then sudden intuition made him
look over the edge of the hay. There
stood the two men whose presence on
his track he had most dreaded and who
met his startled gaze with cynical
amusement
''Come down." said the nearest
CURLY. 1--WE don't want no nonsense"
The reader saw the color die away
from the kings face, leaving dull
ashen gray, and she wondered II so
many eggs had disagreed with him.
She also peered over the edge.
"Who are those peopleT she de-
manded. Are they royalistsT
"Yes," said the king quietly. He
laid down the book and made his way
to the floor below, while the reader
slid after him.
You didn't think we'd find you,"
grinned the second man, "but we are
old hands at this game. Put out your
wrist. I'll see there amt no divorce
'twixt you and Jim here"
The king held his wrist out silently,
while the wondering reader looked on,
watching them handcuff him to the
man called Jim.
"Are those silver bracelets?" she ask
ed perplexedly. "And do you like him

"Will all the people meet your VIII

'"They will be glad"
She saw the three forms pass out OF
sight, the king walking between them,
as befltted his rank. When they were
utterly gone, she thought forlornly Of
how she must return once more to
mere empty pages. A sense of strong
desolation smote her, and, climbing
up again upon the hay. she cried her
self softly to sleep.

The human nose Is an apologize
pimple compared with the magnificent
organ Of the horse or dog. Our sense
Of smell Is, when contrasted with our
sight and hearing, singularly undis-
eliminating We can arrange sounds
into series; we know II is between ID
and #; we appreciate octaves and har-
monies. Similarly we can put the col
ors into order, decide upon the amount
of blue In purple and get almost to
emotion at the sight of white star In
the blue Of summer twilight or of
the amber sunlight glintlng between
the blades OF glass.
But this serial arrangement, this
sorting and selective choice, Is entire
ly beyond our rudimentary senses of
smell. To us the idea Of the scent of
the violet being rich harmony or the
suggestion that the frying OF onions Is
a discord or that patchOuli and the new
mown hay are pleasant things In diff.
ferent times and keys sounds utter
nonsense. Our noses are entirely too
dull to effect the analysis necessary
