HAUNTED CASTLE OFKIuBOLTON
The Queen of England Stands Cod
mother to American Baby

When Queen Alexandra stood as
godmother to the son and heir OF the
Duke Of Manchester and his American
wife, it was the first occasion on which
this royal lady ever assumed respon-
sibility for the spiritual welfare of any
child whose mother is native of the
United States. King Edward, while
still Prince of Wales, accepted the
sponsorshipaof quite a number of chill
dren of Anglo-American unions.
BY the bye, the Duke of Manches-
ter is the present head Of Drogo de
Monte Acute, who was a famous
warrior in the immediate train Of Rob
ert, Earl of Moreton, at the time of the
Norman conquest. Among his ances-
trial homes, rescued and restaurated
with the aid of his American father-in-
law, Eugene Zimmerman, of Cincin-
natl, pre-eminent stands the tradition
filled, ssociation-haunted Kirupolton
Castle. The castle is an ancient, stone
building, standing at the head of the

the pan with a fork and put it on a
blue plate that rested, warming, on the
edge of the stove.

Jonas" The Suire's voice was cross
between a whine and a snarl, and his
black eyes cleaned Indignantly.
Jonas continued his preparations for
breakfast. He gave a final stir to the
coffee, set the pot and the plate of
meat on the table, and cut thick
slice of bread. Then, as he sat down
to eat he looked up at the Squire with
cold hard eyes:
II didn't ask We to come in, Squire,
an I'll not ask We to go long as We
behave yerself." He spoke very quiet.

to himself. And as the Squire's race
redeemed with suppressed anger Tor
he had expected Jonas to cringe be-
fore HIM Jonas calmly stirred his COT
fee. looking meditatively out Of the
window across the bleak, frozen hill
side
Jonas's Indifference was too much
for the Sources temper and he let him
self out with an oath. "Ah-h-h!' ne

nigh seventy year, boys together, and
men together, this is the fust time in
forty wear gone that I've crossed this

There was an unctious sheer In MS
voice that grated on every fibre OF
Jonas being
"There wouldn't be no tears shed,
Squire, if We wasn't to come back no
more. An as for crossin my step IN
forty year, nobody knows bettern yer

The SQUIRE opened his coat, ADJUST
ed his collar, and began impressiyely'
emphasizing his words by tapping on
the table with a fat forehnger:
"Jonas Updyke, let me ask We few

CrOn and Parrot Fighf.

Adam Forepaugh, the veteran show
man, had a white parrot which had
learned to say zone at time, gentle
men, don't crush," acquired, of course,
from the ticket seller.
One day the parrot got lost, and
after long search Mr.. Forepaugh
was Overjoyed to hear it's familiar
voice from an adjoining cornfeld.
He dismounted from his buggy, en-.
tered the cornfeld and found the par
rot in the middle of a flock of crows
that had pecked him until he was al
most featherless. AS the crows bit
and nipped, the parrot, lying on his
side and defending himself with his
claws, was repeating over and over,

Fabulous Cost of SoIOmon's Tempt

Fabulous Cost of SOIOmOn's Temple
Solomon's Temple fourished before
the days of modern Graft" but it
may be wondered what became of all
the jewels and precious stones, for the
talents of gold, silver and brass used
in the construction of the temple were
valued at about thirty-fve billions of
dollars, and the jewels about the same,
according to Villapandus. The conse-
Grated vessels of gold amounted to two
and three-quarter billions; of silver
two and one-half billions; the vest
ments and musical Instruments to
eleven and one-quarter millions.
There were ten thousand men en-
ployed to hew timber, seven thou
sand as burden carriers, twenty thou
sand as hewers of stones, thirty three
hundred Overseers, all of whom were
employed for seven years and upon
whom Solomon bestowed as a gift
thirty millions of dollars. Adding the
food and wages the total would be
over four hundred and fifty millions
of dollars. The costly stone and tim
Der equalled twelve billion more and
the whole total has been carefully
estimated as $77,521 1865, 636.

Local Physicians Decide to Increase
Facilities for Treatment

Papers of incorporation have been
filed by physicians for the General and
Cancer hospital. The hospital was
started about year and a half ago
by Drs. B. o. Webb, A. B. Newkirk

ing has assumed larger proportions
since that time and the physicians de-
cided to form a company and pur-
chase the property which they are
lnow occupying at 2205 San Pedro street.
DR.. Webb said yesterday that it is
the plan of the company not only to
purchase the property, including the
building, but also to add additional
buildings with all the equipments of a
modern hospital. The capital stock is
100000 and the directors are: B. o.

MRS. EDWARDS GRANTED
FRESH CONTINUATION
Board of Pardons Will Act After the
Greason Case Has Been
Disposed OF

By Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 15.-The
Pennsylvania supreme court having
decided yesterday to send the case of
Samuel Greason, colored, under sem
tence of death in Reading for the mur-
der of John Edwards in 1901, back to
the Berks county court, the board of
pardons today granted a continuation
in his case and also in that of Mrs.
Kate Edwards, white, who is con-
demned to death for the same crime.
Nothing has been done looking to-
ward a new trial for the condemned
woman, and after the Greason case is
disposed of by the Berks county court
her application for a communication of
sentence will be acted upon by the
board of pardons. That tribunal has
twice refused to commute her sentence
of death.
Both Greason and Mrs. Edwards
have listened to the reading of the
death warrant ten times, and both
have been under the eyes of the death
watch for two years.

NEGRO RESISTS ARREST;
INJURIES POLICE OFFICER
Desperate Fight Results From At
tempt of PatroIman King to Take
Dusky Wronqdoer

AS result of a desperate fight in a
dark alley near Alameda and CONNER
cial streets late Tuesday night, officer
King of the police force is nursing a
swollen wrist and E. H. Burton, his as
sailant, is complaining of a broken
thumb and a lacerated shoulder.
Burton is a negro bootblack, with a
stand near Alameda and Also streets.
Tuesday night complaints were made
to officer King that the negro was
beating the piano player in the Eden
cafe. When the officer started toward
the cafe, he met Burton, who demanded
that the cafe be closed, because it was
open over the time required by law.
King explained that it lacked nearly
half hour before the closing time
and an alteration ensued.
Burton then returned to the cafe,
with King following. After the negro
had become obstreperous King arrested
him and started toward the station.
When they reached an alley near Com
mercial street Burton staggered as
though about to fall from intoxication,
and as the officer stopped to raise him,
Burton struck out savagely at the
officers throat with a heavy clasp
knife AS King leaped back to avoid
the blow, the negro sprang toward him,
but was met by a blow on the fore
head from the officers slug. The
heavy lead struck squarely, but re-
bounded with sufficient force to break
the rawhide handle. The officer con-
tinued the fight and finally overcame
the man. At the station it was neces-
sary to club the negro before he could
be placed in cell.
Yesterday Burton was released after
paying a fine of IS in Justice Cham
bers' court.

Declares Prisoner Got Drunk ane
Set Fire to Clothes
CIosAt

has borne his abuse long enough, car
ries out her promise to prosecute,

lies in the drunks cell at the city jail,

a fire in the clothes closet. When
Miss Kearney came in to try and stop
him Morris, she says. secured a knife
and chased her out of the room> The
fire was put out and Morris was
charged with being drunk, spending a

time she had made up her mind to this
course Morris had left the city.

Pomona. where he has been stopping,
and became drunk. He went to the
Somerset, and as soon as she saw him

IN NEW HOME
QUARTERS OPENED WITH A
RECEPTION
Handsome Apartments In the Hunt
inqton Building Thronged With
Members and Their
Friends

Good fellowship. good cheer, a brill
liant throng, despite the elements, and
music and hospitality marked the re-
ception given by the members of the
Jonathan club last evening in their
new home in the Huntington building.
To stroll through the spacious rooms,
which occupy the eighth and ninth
stories of the big building is to retire
with the conviction that the members
of the club are not only to be envied,
but that they will be most luxuriously
quartered in magnificent apartments.
Handsome Quarters
From the large Office opens the recep-
tion room and from there the ball room.
This room is artistically designed and
decorated, the tinting and blending of
the colors having been chosen by a
local artist and the fresco work being
the result of many months labor. The
ball room has a seating capacity of
1900
reading room furnished in the latest
style, admirably equipped with inviting
chairs and a large open fireplace, ap-
while Turkish room, fitted with hang
ings and divans, looks equally invit-
ing
A polished marble curb surrounds
the court, around which are built the
parlors and other assembly rooms.
Above this court is an immense mosaic
dome of glass, thirty feet in diameter.
Billiard Rooms and Cuisine
The cuisine is perfectly appointed
and the club is prepared to serve meals
daily to 200 guests. Added to the other
attractions are fifty sleeping apart
ments each furnished in an individual
style, with costly hangings, and a bill
lard room with six tables.
Flowers of many kinds bloom on the
roof garden, which, under the direc-
tion of scenic landscape gardeners, has
been admirably achieved. Palms and
vines outline this pretty garden, which
is supplied with seats and arbors from
which to enjoy the magnificent vista
the site affords. Catalina and the
various beaches are plainly visible and
the view magnificent.
Receiving Party
Among the members who ministered
to the comfort and pleasure of the
guests last evening were: Gen. M. H.
