saved by Qr,1ck wit.

g Isa bel +. Hapgood, the translator OF
many of Tolstoi's books. once visited
the great Russian, and during her Wis
it he told her story of one OF his an
cestors This ancestor, an army oth-
Ger, was an excellent mimic one day
he was impersona ting the Emperor
Paul to a group of his friends when
Paul himself entered and for some
moments looked on, unperceived. at
the antics of the young man. Iolstoi
finally turned and. beholding the en-
peror, bowed his head and was silent.
"Go on, SIR" said Paul. continue
the performance"
The young man hesitated 4 moment.
and then, folding his arms and 1mltat-
ing every gesture and information Of his
sovereign, he said:
s.Tolstoi, you deserve to be degraded.
but I remember the thoughtlessness OF
youth, and you are pardoned.'
The car smiled slightly ut this
speech.

Poe.s Love of Richmond.

Poe loved Richmond as he loved no
other place on earth. His happy child
hood was spent there-the only period
of his troubled life which was free
from want Here he found his foster
father, John Allan, who was proud OF
the orphan boy. and the only mother
he ever knew, who was sweet and gen
tie with him to the end Here We're
the friends and playmates of bis boy
hood. and here lived the gentle wo-
man who was the Helen of the most
beautiful Of his early poenls- Here,
after a first ceremony in Baltimore, he
was married by a second to the lovely
and youthful Virginia GLENN, and
here they spent the happiest year of
their married life Here, as editor OF
the Southern Literary Messenger, he
did much of his best work.-Char1es

Letters Of Introduction.

Try not to ask for letters OF intro
duction to your friends friends. 1t
often causes both embarrassment and
Inconvenience. If the letter of intro
duction is offered accept it and present
1t dutifully. 1t will not be difficult to
ascertain whether or not the person to
whom it is addressed finds the intro
duction a pleasure OF a bore. 1t is folly
to pursue an acquaintance thus gained
unless each finds the other congenial.-

Altitude and Voice.

Generally speaking, races living at
high attitudes have weaker and more
highl,- pitched voices than those living
in regions where the supply OF oxygen
is more plentiful. Thus among the
Indians living on the plateau between
the ranges of the Andes, at an eleya-
ton of from 10000 to 1900 feet, the
men have voices like women, and wo-
men like children, and their singing is
a shrill monotone.

Mcpherson, a pioneer resident of
Contra Costa County, was found dead
in bed this morning at his home, be-
tween Walnut Creek and Danville.
Death was caused by heart failure
and life had been extinct for some
time when the body was found this
morning. Miss Mcpherson went to
awaken her father and found that he
had passed away some time during
the night.
Mr.. Mcpherson was 20 years of age
and had lived in Contra Costa County
for more than fifty years. having come
to California from Kentucky, his ma
tive State, in 1849. He was a widower
and leaves a family of seven daughters
and four sons, all of whom are mar
ried except one son and one daughter.
The latter live at the fathers home.

tate. Arrangements for the funeral

Death of Ex-Congressman's Son,

OAKLAND, Dec. 26.-warren B.
English Jr., son of former Congress
man Warren B. English, died to-day
at Fabiola Hospital after an illness of
a little more than two weeks from
typhoid fever.
The young mans death was severe
shock to his parents, who had hoped
that the progress of the fever might
be checked. Everything that medical
skill could do availed nothing. Young
English's illness became alarming a
week ago.
Born twenty-seven years ago in
Oakland, the young man was educated
in this city. For years he had been in
the employ of the National Cash Reg
lister Company in San Francisco. He
had a host of friends and had been
successful in his business engagements
The funeral will be held Wednes-
day morning at 1880 o'clock from the
residence of Mrs. William B. English,

GARFIELD PLAN
NOT A new One
Mammoth Standard Oil
Trust Itself First to Ad-
vocate Federal Control
JOKE ON COMMISSIONER
His Report Recalls Sur
prising Statement by a
Big Corporation Official
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING.
that Commissioner James R. Garfeld's
plan for Federal control of great State
corporations not only is not new, but
that the idea is a mere repetition OF
propositions first made by the Standard
Oil Company. This interesting and
somewhat humorous development In the
agitation for the control of trusts has
attracted much attention and has
caused some statesmen to pause and
think.
Before the Industrial commission ap-
pointed by President Mckinley, John
d. Archibald Of the Standard Oil Com
pany. on September s. 1899. made this
remarkable statement:
II you should ask me, gentlemen. what leg
islation can be imposed to improve present
conditions answer that the next great-and
to my mind inevitable-step of progress in
our commercial development lies IN the direo-
tion of national or Federal control OF corpora
tions. II such corporations should be made
possible under such fair restriction and revis-
ION as should be attached to them any branch
OF business could be freely entered upon by all
comers. and the talk Of the monopoly would
forever be done away with
Archibald's remedy for the situation
which has since DEVELOPED is almost
identical with the proposition made by
Commissioner Garfield In his annual
report. The official of the Standard
Oil Company, In advocating Federal
charters. did object to what he called
restrictive legislation On this subject
he said to the Commissioners:
The outcry, gentlemen. against corporations
does not come from the great busy, indus
hit INN "a fnnau
talists yellow journals and political dema-
goEues-from the latter. perhaps, more than
any other 1t is a veritable attack upon thrift
and prosperity. To listen to their voices TO
the extent OF reposing restrictive legislation
would mean frightful step backward In the
commercial development Of country.

RUDE B0REAS SP0ILS
PLANS FOR. CHRISTMAS
STEAMSHIP ANUBIS ARRIVES
Passengers Celebrate Holiday at Sea

The Kosmos liner Anupis, following
close on the heels of the Neko, arrived
yesterday from Hamburg and South
and Central American ports. When. the
Anubis left Manzanillo Captain REIN
ers expected to reach here in time to
spend at least the latter half of Christ
mas day at this port The north wind,
however. interfered with the carrying
out Of the programme. The Anubis
was light and high enough out of the
water to give rude Boreas something
to blow at. AS the wind stirred up the
sea the order to reduce speed was given
as the effort to overcome with flying
rush the opposition of the elements
proved disconcerting to the passengers.
Christmas was celebrated at sea and
after dinner officers and passengers
gathered around broom. daubed with
green paint and decorated with electric
light globes and pretsels, and wished
each other the compliments of the sea-
son.
Henry c. Sergeant, one of the pas
sengers, was the victim Of a painful
accident on Christmas eve Sergeant,
who Is an elderly man. is very short
sighted. While ashore at Acapulco he
lost his eyeglasses, thus adding to his
handicap. Walking across the saloon
on Christmas eve Sergeant tripped
over stool. The ship was rolling
heavily and the passenger was sent
with crash against a buIkhead. frac-
turing bone in his shoulder.
At San Benito a large man-eating
shark was captured by the crew Of the
Anubis and slain on deck for the en-
tertainment of the passengers.
The Anubis brought 1876 tons of
cargo. This included thirteen bars of
copper bullion valued at about $4,000.
She brought a large shipment Of coffee.

which, it is said is a greater number
than any other play ever has attained.

which were acquired in the beginning
by w. H. Penley. have just reverted
to the author, Brandon Thomas, who
has celebrated the occasion by reviv-
ing the piece at the Comedy-where
His Highness My Husband" recently
gave up the ghost. In consequence of
Penleys illness the part of Lord Fan
court Babberly is being played at the
Comedy by Stanley Cooke. who has
acted it in the provinces for several
years, while the author himself plays
his old part of Colonel Sir Francis
Chesney.
DR.. Richard Strauss, who seems to
have conquered his critics and to be
considered now as the greatest of 1iv-
ing composers, is tremendously rushed
at present. Besides his duties as
chief conductor of the Royal Opera in
Berlin he has conducted fifteen con-
certs within the last three weeks. His
only appearance in London this year
was on December 10 with the Queens
Hall orchestra and in which his own
works were the principal feature.

with success sufficient to warn the
critics that the cantata will soon be
heard in the United States.
