cornelius vanderbilt scattering.

Lieutenant Cornelius Vanderbilt is
very popular in the Twelfth Regiment
by reason of his democratic ways and
the spirit he displays in his relations
with the enlisted men. He particularly
earned the appreciation of the un-
striped men of his command in the re-
cent maneuvers at Manassas. On the
march back from Wellington on the
third day of the maneuvers. when it
was go as you please, one of the men,
bers of his company caught up with
Lieutenant Vanderbilt. who was well
to the front All the National Guards
men were pretty well played out, men
and officers alike, by the march to
wellington and the sham battle. "well,
Lieutenant, how do you feel?'' asked
the private. "I feel like 80 cents,'' re-
piled Lieutenant Vanderbilt, "and
that's pretty cheap for Vanderbilt" !"
The private and some boon COM
panions had commandeered a keg of
cider at a roadside store. and his cam
teen was filled with the liquid. Here,
have a swig of this" said the private.
With the strap still around the pri-
Yates shoulders Lieutenant Wander
bilt stopped and tilted the canteen to
his lips Better than any champagne
I ever drank" he said when the
gurgling ceased.-New York Tribune.

body are ten farmers, two retired

however, decided that he would pro-
ceed with the erection of the cottages.
On his estate were several similar ones,
already occupied, which had proved
thoroughly sanitary and in every re-
spect satisfactory.
The Rural Council held several
meetings to consider the matter. II
the cottages were completed they
would afford standing proof of their
own incapacity. Besides it behooved
them to maintain their dignity and
authority. They decided to prosecute

EMINENT JUDGE
PUT ON TRIAL
Prominent Englishman Is
Made to Submit to Author
ity of Small Police Court
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Seldom has there
been a more striking reversal Of things
judicial than that presented by the ex-
traordinary spectacle Of one Of the most
eminent, experienced and respected
of English judges on trial In a rural
police court. charged with breaking the
law which he has so long ably admin
istered.
Sir William Grantham is accused Of
violating the building enactments of an
inconspicuous country council by out
raging their dignity and setting their
powers at defiance by persisting in the
erection of cottages on his estate after
they had refusofs to pass his plans. The
legal drama abounds in elements Of
Gilbertian humor. which might well
furnish material for companion comic
opera to the Trial by Jury
It's farcical elements have been re-
lieved by a touch of genuine pathos.
At one stage of the proceedings the
venerable Judge, overcome by the
sense of the indignity thrust upon him,
and the ingratitude shown him by his
neighbors, gave way to sobs and tears.
Sir WILLIAM Grantham is now verg-
ing on severity. He has been eighteen
years on the bench. Prior to that for
many years he had an extensive prac-
tice at the bar. Both as a lawyer and
a Judge he has had much to do with
cases involving disputes concerning
buildings, plans and architectural de-
tails. On such matters he ranks high
as legal expert.
He inherited country estate at
Barecombe, in Sussex. where he has
played the role of a benevolent land
ed proprietor for half century.
During that period he has expended
over $780, 900 in building construction
and improvements.
Among his tenants he is regarded
as a model landlord. One of his hob
bies is the erection of cheap but com>
rnodious and healthy cottages for
workingmen on his property.
That is a matter at present engaging
much attention in England among en-
Iightened men who recognize the evils
of over-crowding in the big cities and
are striving to make it possible for a
larger proportion of the laboring
classes to dwell in the country.
Sir William drew up the plans and
designs for a number of these cottages
himself. AS required by law he sub
mitted them for approval to the collec-
tive wisdom Of the Chailey Rural Dis

The quarrel between Jimmy Britt
and the proprietors of the Belvedere

velopment of the affair took the shape
of personal encounter between At
torney Greely, who represents Britt,
and Eddie Graney. The latter won
on points, which included knock
down.
There are hints that If the case goes

DNUTVE BOXERS ARE IN STRICT TRAINING FOR SEVERE ENCOUNTER
HIGH SCORES PREVAIL
DESPITE POOR LIGHT
August Jungblut, a Veteran Marksman,
in Great Form at Shell Mound,

There were a number of rifle enthu-
siasts at Shell Mound Park yesterday,
although the weather was against good
craftsmanship. At many times during
the day the rain and darkness made it
almost impossible for the riflemen to
align their sights. Some remarkable
shooting was done by the members Of
the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein in
the competition shoot. August jung
blut, veteran enthusiast, made II
and 20 rings out of possible 75, and
was heartily applauded by his COM
rades. Although there were but twelve
competitors in this contest, seven
members made 70 or over and four
made more than 6S,. an exceptionally
fine average even in the best OF
weather. Fred Brandt and Herman
Huber tied on SO and II rings each.
giving A. Jungblut a close call for the
honors.
In the bullseye contests of the day
Louis Bendel of the San Francisco
Schuetzen Verein was high man among
his comrades with 148 points. Henry
Bach of the Red Mems Schuetzen Com
pany was the lucky winner OF the
Captain Siebe medal on the bullseye
target, with 21S points to his credit. H.
Bornholdt Of the Germania Club was
high, with 306.
The veterans Of the National Guard,
who started in yesterday for regular
monthly competitions, were disap-
pointed by the unfavorable weather
and did not make the high scores an
ticipated, although a number of crack
shots are among the members.
William Garms, the veteran marks
man, has given a gold medal to the
Shell Mound Club, to be competed for
during the year. The trophy is to be
awarded to the rifieman making the
best three bullseyes during the year.
Captain l.. Siebe has also contributed
a gold medal, to be competed for by
the highest three men in each class.

workmen were stopped by the police,
but were allowed to proceed when a
permit from the Board of Public

inches farther from the curbing than
heretofore and that the property

London's Emergency service.

London is curiously behind New York
in the matter of its emergency accident
service. None of the hospitals there,
incredible as it may seem, have ambu-
lances such as are used here. Injured
persons are carried to the hospitals in
two-wheeled handbarrows propelled by
one or two policemen. There are only
two or three horse ambulances in the
city and they are private. There is an
agitation now for the introduction of
such vehicles into the hospital service.

ON LAUGHING IN CHURCH.

DR.. James M. Buckley, editor of
the New York Christian AdvOcate,
and one of the most influential men
in the Methodist church, aroused
good deal of interest and some dissent
lately by an address in which he sta
ted, according to the newspaper re-
ports, that "a clergyman has no right
to make his congregation laugh, and
to do so is irreverence. We quote
some lay comment called forth by
this statement. The Chicago Ti6nne
remarks
1T is not recorded that the laugh
ter which was occasionally provoked
by the remarks of Peter Cartwright
or Henry Ward Beecher did any harm
to the cause of religion or justly ex-
posed either preacher to the charge
of irreverence. The only effect of
the mirth provking remarks was to
riuet the attention of those who sat
under them"
From the Chicago Chronicle, which
discusses the matter editorially, we
quote in part as follows
"The Christian religion is essential
ly solemn religion So far as we
know, Christ never laughed. He is
known to have wept and he is known
to have been laughed at, but we have
no reason to think he ever laughed.
There is no proof that any of the
apostles or early Christians ever
laughed, though it is certain that
several of them wept.
If any one will consult concord
ance' of the Scriptures he will be sur
prised to see how little is said about
laughter. In England religious
person is called a serious person.
and an English infdel once described
Christianity as the cultivation of
sorrow Laughter, then, must have
a very small place in such religion.
ION the other hand, what DR..
Buckley actuallysssaid, that clergy
man has no right to make his con-
gregation laugh, and for him to do SO
is irreverence, is neither true nor
philosophical. Paradoxical as it
may seem, tears and laughter are COM
panions. Every rhetorician knows
that public speaker who is famous for
producing tears is equally famous for
producing laughter.
''It is also to be observed that there
are laughs which are distinctly relig-
ious and devout. There have always
been new converts who gave vent to
their unspeakable joy in peals OF
laughter. The most intensely relig-
ious and devout congregations in the
Christian world are sometimes NOV
ed to laughter by something partic-
ularly sublime and sweet in Chris
tian experience, by some wonderful
and opposite providence, or by some
felicitous scriptural quotation. It is
really no uncommon thing for pious
congregation not only to laugh, but
to manifest its piety by laughter.

THOUSANDS OF BANK BOOKS LOST YEARLY;
SOME PURPOsELY.

"That's the third woman who has
been here today to notify us that she
has lost her bank book" said the re-
ceiviug teller of savings bank few
days ago. That's a bigger average
than usual, but nobody except a
banker has any idea how many pass
books are reported lost in year. l
couldn't tell myself, but it is away up
in the thousands.
"Most of them aren't really lost,
though. They're just mislaid, and a
few days later the person who re-
ported to us that book was gone re-
turns sort of shamefaced and says
he's sorry to have caused US all the
trouble, but the book was found back
of his desk.
'sI'll bet that woman who just left
will be here within three days to tell
us something like that. Most of 'em
do, and the women are the worst
offenders.
Of course depositor is safe. even
though his bank book is found by
dishonest person. The paying teller
wouldn't pay out money unless the
ownership of the pass book was prov
ed but lot Of unlucky depositors
are afraid of fraud, just the same.
Bankers know that most of the lost
books will reappear before long, SO
they don't issue new ones for six
months. They are allowed to make
that delay by law, and it saves them
lot of trouble, for two pass-books
on the same account are sure to give
rise to lot of complications.
During the six months of waiting
for a lost book to reappear, the de-
positor is often put to some trouble.
The account is supposed to be sus-
pended temporarily; savings banks
make it a general rule to see that
their patrons are not unduly discom-
moded, and money may be withdrawn
if the need is known to be pressing.
''It sometimes happens, too" said
the paying teller, 'that crafty wife
is responsible for lost book. A case
that happened few days ago illus
trates this point.
"a husband had an account with
us and told his wife that he thought
he'd draw out his money and play
stocks. He told her that everything
was booming up and it was shame
not to take some of the streets money.
"But his wife couldn't see it. The
husbands life insurance was due
pretty soon, and she wasn't taking
any chances about losing that policy
through her husbands losses in stocks
making it impossible for him to pay
the premium.
"Well, when Mr.. Man looked in
his desk the next morning for his
pass-book, intending to come down
here and draw out all his cash, the
book couldn't be found. Mr.. Man
reported to us that his book was lost.
We were sorry, but he didn't get his
money out.
"Then came the slump when Cop
per carried all the rest of the market
down and wiped out many margin.
Mr.. Man came around a day or so
ago and told me that his wife admit
ted to him that she had hidden that
bank book. and, say, he was the hap
piest man you ever saw. Said he was
everlastingly grateful to his wife who
had more brains in her head in
minute than he had in a week, for
preventing him from losing his bum
| die, and he told me that our rules
were the finest ever made.

count on anything like that-there's
