AIDED VICTORIA'S FATHER.
Money to the Royal Family
At Critical Time.

The kings appointment of General
Sir Evelyn Wood to be field mar
shall recalls the fact that the royal
family was indebted to Gen. Woods
grandfather for the happy event
that the late Queen Victoria was
born in England, and not in for
eign country, in 1918.
Financial embarrassments had
forced her father, the duke of Kent,
to reside in Germany. There the late
Queen Victoria would have been
born if Matthew Wood, a city mer-
chant, had not placed a considerable
sym at the dukes disposal to enable
the prospective sovereign to be born
In the realm. The first baronetcv
bestowed by Queen Victoria after
her accession to the throne was on
her fathers friend. who was then
lord mayor of London.

ILLINOIS, NEW BABIES.
Statistics for the Year 1902 Show ~.
BAT Births in the City OF
Ckca9o Alone,

The state board o. health Of MI
nois has compiled statistics on the
reports of births in Illinois in the
year 1902. The summary shows that
q total of >76,60s births occurred in
that period.
Of the foregoing 1861 were males,
37,325 females, and the sex of 612
was not stated in the reports to the
authorities. There were reported
also 572 twin births, IS triplets and
1,767 still births.
In the city of Chicago births are
reported by many physicians to the
department of health instead of the
county clerk. 1t is reasonable to
presume that but few of these physi-
clans made duplicate reports. The
records of the department of health
show that 27,347 births occurred in
Chicago during 1902.

in California.

A heavy flow of liquid asphalt from
we'll from which light gravity oil has
been expected, has been struck by the
Casmalia Oil company on the Arellanes
ranch, in the northern part of Sofa
Barbara county, Cal. The owners of
the property, who are from San Fran
cisco, are preparing to put in large
storage tanks to care for the product,
which is being forced to the surface by
a great volume of gas. The Union Oil
company, which is operating on the
Purissima ranch, struck hot stratum,
and steam is pouring forth from the
well. Dirt and water brought to the
