about.
MARK OF AFFECTION FOR BENE-
FACTORS.
1t is stated that in view of this
determination on his part to begin life
in
of the affection and gratitude he en-
tertained for the family of his pen--
factors, he assumed the name of Jones.
He did not assume the name OF
Jones, however, out of any disregard
to his family or any desire to disguise
himself from them, for although he
last saw them in 1771, he ever contin-
ued in correspondence with them, and
found means, whatever his circum-
stances, to make them frequent re-
mittances of money during his busy
life. To them he left all his property
at his death. 1t is certain, therefore,
that for no reason for which he had
cause to be ashamed did he affiX the
name of Jones to his birth name.

Carolina he was introduced by the
Jones brothers to Joseph Hewes of
Edenton, one of the delegates from
North Carolina to the first and sec
ond provincial congress and a signer
of the great Declaration of Independ-
ence. In Congress Hewes was a prom
inent member of the committee on
naval affairs, upon which devolved the
work of beginning and carrying on the
navy of the revolution. When the war
broke out Paul Jones was still living
in retirement. But when steps were
taken to organize a navy for the re-
volted colonies, attracted by the OPP
portunities presented in that field Of
action in which he was master, he
formally rendered his services to his
adopted country. The influence of
Willie Jones and Joseph Hewes was
secured and On the 18th of December,
IT'S. Jones was appointed lieutenant
in the new continental navy"

The bringing of the body of John
Paul Jones to the United States for
interment revives the story of his
name. and something Of his history.
Mrs. A. I. Robertson of Columbia, S.
c., a descendant of the famous Jones
family of North Carolina, tells the
story as it is known in her family,
giving an account that is of deep in
terest. John Paul added the name
Jones to his own out of gratitude for
kindness shown him by the wealthy
Jones family, Mrs. Robertson says.
This in the account given by her:
1T seems strange that while no
revolutionary biography can boast
more public events of vivid and intense
interest than that of John Paul Jones,
none is so bare and meager in personal
detail. He has immortalized a name
which was his only by selection and
adoption, and yet the fact is slurred
over in history with the calm state
ment that he changed his name for
unknown reasons AS the reasons
were not known and, although difficult
to obtain later, were then easily ac-
cessible, it appears to have been more
a lack of intelligent investigation than
of any suppression of evidence.
"As a matter of historical fact the
Scotch sailor, John Paul, took the name
of Jones from two of the most famous
patriots Of the revolution-Allen and
Willie Jones'. I am the great-great-
granddaughter Of Allen Jones and
daughter of Col. Cadwallader Jones,
who died in 1898, aged eighty-six years.

GA recent sketch of the life of Pau
Jones in the Century has revived the
memory of his gallant achievement
and rekindled public interest in this
famous hero. There is much inquiry
as to his reason for adopting the name
of Jones. It is not little remarkable
that such an incident in the life of one
so renowned should so soon be forgot.

CALIFORNIA LEMON MEN

Commercial Museum Receives Of
fetal Advices That Promise Well
for This State

The Pacific Commercial Museum
having received inquiries from promi-
nent lemon growers of California for
information as to the extent of dam
age to lemon crops in Sicily Is now in
receipt of telegraphic advices from
Washington, d. c., indicating that the
poor condition of the foreign market
should prove of great value to the
growers of this State.
The report comes from United
States Consul Caughy at Messina to
the effect that the outlook for the
spring crop Is not bsomising, as Sc
we're hail storms in January and Feb
ruary extensively damaged the bios
SONS and the crop in consequence is
estimated as being not over half of
that of last year.
On the Messina market there are
only 10000 boxes of the November
cut of lemons. the greater portion of
which will be sent to Russia under
the existing contracts, while the re-
mainder will be shipped to Montreal.
OF the recently cut fruit, there are
only on hand $4,000 boxes at Mesina,
the fruit being of such poor quality
that no orders have been placed from
America

DAMAGE SUIT is MET
BY A UNIQUE DEFENSE
Claim Made That Operation pf Slot
Machines Makes Gaming Estab-
lishment of Cigar Store.

Attorney Henry Ach made a unique
argument yesterday before Judge
Trout in support of a demurrer he
has interposed on behalf of the Ha-
vana Commercial Company to the suit
filed against it by S. Cahen, keeper
of a cigar store at % Montgomery
street. Cahen asks judgment against
the commercial company for $25, 900
damages, claiming that the CONNER
cial company has injured his business
to that extent by causing the report to
be circulated that the plaintiff is deal
ing in an inferior brand of cigars un-
der the pretense that they are an i'm
ported brand of which the defendant
company is agent.
Ach, on behalf of the commercial
company, argued yesterday that Ca
hen has no business to injure; that he
is operating slot machines at his place
contrary to section $50 of the Penal
Code, and that in consequence his
place is naught but a gambling estab-
lishment and not entitled to the pro-
lection of the law. Judge Trout must
determine whether or not a slot ma
chine is a gambling device and if so
if the operation of the same by Ca
hen makes his establishment an il
legal one and entitled to no protec-
ton. The demurrer is now under ad-
Visement

TELLS STORIES OF WILD
ANIMALS HE HAS KNOWN
Lecturer Shows That the Buffalo Is
Multiplying I'm Certain Parts of
the Country.

Ernest Seton Thompson delivered
two entertaining lectures yesterday af-
ternoon and evening at Lyric Hall. The
famous student of animal life de-
scribed during his afternoon talk the
habits of small quadrupeds and also
gave an interesting description of the
great Manitoba country and the deni-
zens of its forests and mountains.
In the evening the speakers subject
was Wild Animals at Home In his
opinion a great crime is being COM
mitted by the ruthless slaughter of the
inhabitants of the woods. He believes
that the protection afforded the buff
falo has resulted in a material in
crease of the herds.
At IL o'clock this morning Thomp-
son will speak on THE Indian as I

subject will be The Personality of

OAKLAND. March SL-Manager
Captain George Van Haltren's ex-Loh-
NANTES were eaten alive in the Idora
Park jungle to-day by the Tacoma
Tigers. Score, 6 TO g.
Thirteen hits were plucked by Fish
er's Bengals from the contributions
passed up to the plate by Southwinger
Oscar Graham. Five of these were
two-sackers and four Of them were
manufactured in the fifth inning Nc
Laughlin, Thomas, Doyle and Sheehan
being the sluggers to WELD the big
stick that netted their team three runs.
Tacoma chalked up one tally in the
opening half of the initial inning The
Oaklanders went the northern men one
better in their half, ringing the bell
twice. That was the only inning in
which the gong sounded for the cohorts
Of the deposed Peter. Tacoma added
one run to its column in the seventh
and another in the eighth inning.
Thomas was miserly with hits after
the first inning and kept them scat
tered so that the bingles did not re-
dound TO the advantage of Oakland.
Umpire Klopf displayed the power
vested in him in the third inning by
calling Kelly out on a foul that was
knocked high into the air near the
OdhidHQ players De0Cn anu WHICH
Hogan failed to catch. The Tacoma
backstop claimed Francks jumped from
the players bench and baked him in
his effort to catch the pellet. Klopf
gave, judgment in favor of Hogan and
Kelly went back to the bench.
Sheehan drove a cannon ball past
Devereaux in the fifth that Frustrated
Barbarian Bill with its smoke and
brought up in left field full against
Dunlevy's teeth Dunlevy retired to
recuperate and Cook, the general util-
ity man for Veteran Van Haltren, was
detailed in the left plat. Cook dropped
the only fly hit to him and at the bat
failed to win any plaudits.
Tommy Sheehan was bombarded on
both legs in the ninth inning by Gra-
ham, who shot the sphere at the little
third baseman. II took zigzag course
and confused Sheehan into ducking the
wrong way. The attendance was small,
