Williams as a Joker.

1t was in February last that John
Sharp Williams leadership of the mi
nority in the House of Representatives
had so spread his fame that he was
widely talked about as Of Presidential
caliber. An enterprising but unsophis-
ticated young newspaper man sought
any movement in his favor. Mr.. Will
liams, with well dissembled gravity. as
sured the reporter that everything was
suspicious for his boom. Recent reports
from Mississippi especially were highly
encouraging.
"Toomsuba, Ofanoma, Noxopater,
Nanachehaw, ToccopoIa, Tabbville and
Grubbs Springs, / am told,'' he said,
"are already for me, while / have every
reason to believe that l shall have the

tabutchee, Ittabena, Scutch, Cinqupin,
Pawtickfaw, Octoc, Lego, Yellow Rab-
bit, Chunkey Station, Hambone, Deovo-
lente and Whynot."
When the reporter had sufficiently re-
covered to scrutinize the countenance
of the Mississippi statesman he asked:
How do you spell those?"
Mr.. Williams patiently and with dig
nified elaboration spelled the words.
The reporter took it all down and went
away with a quizzical look almost as
Quizzical as that with which the minor
ity leader disappeared within the swing
ing doors of the House.-Harper's

support President Roosevelt in the
Presidential campaign, leaving the
Livermore Herald, owned by A. L.
Henry, the only Democratic paper In
the county.
Ever since the establishment of the
San Leandro Reporter Mr.. Mccarthy
has been a stanch champion of the
Democratic party, but the sterling
qualities of the present chief executive
have won him over and he announces
his determination to support Roosevelt
in the following editorial:
1t is the fate of the strong man to make
enemies The very attributes of character
which lift him above the ordinary level create
an opposition that is always too bitter TO do
him Justice Weak men also arouse opposition,
but il is of the kind that despises rather than
hates The difference is due to the fact that
the strong man fights after the manner OF
valiant soldier, pressing straight onward to
the goal and forcing obstacles aside as he
advances, while the weak man ,zigzags along.

Just as he was boarding the train
at the Sixteenth-street station at Z
o'clock this evening on his way to the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis, Captain Jo
seph j. Agard, a well-known insurance
adjuster of San Francisco, living at
1881 Hilbert street in this city, was
stricken with heart disease. He sank
lifeless at the feet of his wife and
daughter, who were to have accom-
panied him on his trip. Death came
without the slightest warning and was
entirely unexpected, as Captain Agard
had always been in apparently robust
health.
1t was at first thought that he had
tainted, but an examination proved
that life was extinct. The body was
removed to the family residence. The
deceased was 68 years of age and had
lived in Oakland for several years.
Besides his wife he leaves two chill
dren, a daughter, Miss inertia V.
Agard, who lives at the family home
in this city, and a son, Arthur NJ.

Queen Amelie of Portugal.

Queen Amelie Of Portugal, who has
been visiting some of her friends in
Paris and other Continental cities, looks
back on a romantic career and is an
interesting personality. She is daugh-
ter of the Comte de Paris, and during
the first exile of her parents spent most
of her girlhood in England. Don Carlos
of Portugal saw her portrait in London
and fell in love with 1T. The wooing
was not long adding, and the mar
riage aroused so much interest and en-
thusiasm in France that it quite
alarmed the French Government and
indirectly led to the final Punishment
of the royal brides unfortunate father.
Queen Amelie is a woman of many diff
ferent interests and tastes. She is the
only Queen who has in a serious sense
studied medicine, and thanks to her eff
forts Lisbon now boasts of one of the
best model hospitals in Europe. Like
her sister, the Duchess of AoSta, she is
an enthusiastic horsewoman, and her
self taught her two sons to ride.-Cin-

MILAN, Sept 1s.-The Labor Ex-
change yesterday decided that the
strike should come to an end this morn
ing. but the anarchists objected, insist
ing. upon the strike continuing until
Wednesday and rejecting the collective
request of the newspapers that they
might recommence publication The
whole town is absolutely in the power
of the mob. This morning shopkeepers
and store proprietors rebelled conjoint-
ly and opened their places Of business.
This led to general disorders, as the
strike leaders insisted on their closing.
Large attachments Of cavalry and
mounted police patrol the streets and
disperse the strikers as soon as they
become unruly All the theaters and
places of amusement are closed.
Things have gone so far that even
the hotel omnibuseS have stopped
obliged to get out. M. Gauthier, well
known Frenchman of letters, who came
here accompanied by his wife to dis
cuss the publication Of his work on
art, has been obliged to go back TO Luz
cerne, Mortified at the abnormal state
of affairs in Italy.
In order to prevent traffic on the rail-
way stones and beams have been laid
on the rails. The traffic, however, con-
tinued, though under difficulties.
The Labor Exchange has published a
violent bulletin imposing it's will after
the manner Of a committee OF pubic
safety. All dispatches are submitted to
the Government censor.
The revolutionary movement is
popular one, but an opposite feeling is,
however, beginning to make itself felt.
The crowd to-day on the Plaza del
Duomo cheered the police when they
arrested several rioters and severely
misused individuals who attempted
their rescue. A cabman who had pre-
viously protested against the strikers
demands was literally beaten to death.

ingmen was held tonight to protest

streets in the vicinity of the meeting
were occupied by soldiers, including de-
tachmentS of artillery An attempt was
made by the demonstrators to invade
the center of the town, but the crowds
were dispersed by cavalry charges, in
which about twenty civilians were,

The Amount of Money to Be
Raised for General Pur-

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

oakland once San francisco Call,
1016 Broadway, Sept. 10.
The Board Of Supervisors to-day fixed
the tax levy within incorporated towns
at 81 40 on the 500, and 81 ~ on the
500 in the outside districts. Last year
the inside rate was 81 81 and the out
side rate 81 "a. The increase in the rate
is accounted for by the decrease in the
base upon which the rate is calculated.
Last year the State Board of Equali-
cation arbitrarily raised the assessment
of Alameda County to $13S, 900, 900. This
year the assessment totals but $109, 000,-
600, a difference of nearly $40, 000. 900 less
this year than last. With the rate
raised as it is it is said that less money
will be raised than last year, notwith-
standing the natural increase attendant
upon the growth of the county.
County Superintendent of Schools
Crawford won a partial victory before
the board in regard to the levy for
school purposes.
The following is the rate as finally
fixed by the board: State tax, .535;
county general, $50; county inf1rmary,
10; schools, 81; expositions, .O1; total,
81 40. For outside districts must be
added the road tax Of .35, making a
total of 81 81

LEADERS FAIL TO AGREE.
Man Not Yet Chosen to Head New
York Democratic Ticket.

SARATOGA. n. Y. Sept 19.-The majority
of the $50 delegates who will constitute the
Democratic State Convention, called to meet
here at noon tomorrow, in Saratoga. The
net result of to-days developments is the Sc
lection of Duncan Campbell Lee Of Ithaca to
be permanent chairman of the convention and
George Raines of Rochester TO be chairman of
the committee on resolutions.
Otherwise, according to the most authorita-
tive information obtainable tonight, the sit
uation stands il stood last Thursday night
when Judge Parker left New York City after
his series of conferences with various leaders.
1t is the general impression that agreements
will be reached and the question of the romi-
nation for the Governorship settled In confer
elce, that only one name shall be presented
to the convention and the nomination be made
unanimously.
There is dimiBution in the undercurrent
of feeling, which has been in evidence since
the delegates began to gather, that unless some
compromise become necessary the convention
will nominate Edward NJ. Shepard of Brook
Ign. The belief is prevalent that Shepard has
the support of the national leaders and this
gives strength to the Shepard movement.
Senator McCarren to-day declared himself
unalterably opposed to the nomination Of
Shepard and announced without qualification
that If Shepard be nominated it must be with
out the aid or consent of Kings County.

Have Been Unnecessarily


WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.-For the first time
in the history of the Government money APP
propriated for pensions is going back to

order was issued 1t was expected that the num-
Der to apply under its provisions would reach
ated.
The Pension Bureau has been able to find
only 1S,303 veterans who are not receiving
some kind Of pension and rs, SOC who could
get an increase under the order Consequently
Of the 81 SOC, 900 appropriated only $4,000 has
