at its State convention to-day.

doubt.
The sentiments of members Of the CON-
vention were expressed by Mr.. Bell in. his
speech Of acceptance.
when We 20 out and ask young Republi-
cans not to bend the knee to w. F. Horrin,
Democratic boss Of the Republican party,
let us also emancipate young Democrats;
let us reject the man who attempts to domi-
nate the Democratic party Of California,
William r. Hearst"

public ownership of utilities.

Governor are

Toland Of San Luis Obispo; for Judges of
the Supreme Court of California, Frank j.
Murasky Of San Francisco, jackson Hatch,

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE sun

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
PARIS, Dec. 15.-Premier Clemenceau's
kingly power has been executed agreeably
in promoting his messenger, who was able
to serve him in an unexpected capacity
The hard worked Premier arrived at the
Ministry on Sunday and, on glancing at the
mirror, was Mortified to find that he had not
beer shaved. He ordered his messenger
to seek a barber. Alas, all the BARRIERS were
on their weekly repose
Il was once a barber said the messenger.
Get a razor" comm anded the Premier,
and the first face in France was 40 excel
lently shaved that the messenger was mad
an usher forthwith.
ene of the most irritating means taken
by Germany ia Germanize Alsace-Lorraine
was ~forbidding the parents Of Christian
children giving them names having French
forms, such az Blanche and Pierre. They
were not allowed to be registered, but last
year this rule was rela xed and any name
was allowed for which there is no German
equivalent. A parent who gave his son the
name Rene was very dissatisfied to find IL
registered as Renatus and applied to the
courts to nave it changed. He was nom
suited, but pertinaciously appealed to a
higher tribunal, which this week gave a
verdict in his favor on the ground that
Rene and Renatus. although the same
name, differed 80 in sound and writing that
the identity was lost.
One more blow for liberty and equality
was struck in France this week when Deputy
Boyer introduced a bill INJECTING from
40 to 500 francs fine and a fortnight TO
three months imprisonment on ar employer
who Aforbids his employees wearing mus
taches. A repetition of the offence will
cause the infection of double the penalty.
NJ. Boyer, who wears a mustache and
beard, ~eloqueptly traced the history of
the mustache from the days when it was
worn by barbario Germans who had per-
formed brilliant feats at arms to the days
when it was worn only by military men.
After the fall Of the First Empire civilians
began to wear the mustache az a sign Of
equa lily, after which the proprietors Of
restaurants began TO forbid their walters
wearing It in order 10 fatter the bourgeois
aristocrats.
Now the orator claimed, in the name Of
the rights of man, which lie the basis Of
Frances code, there should De free mus
taches for a free State.

INNOVATIONS IN PARLIAMENT.
Cheap Dinners. Tips and Pipes Cause Bitter
ness-HAt Traditions Broken.

SDcCtdt CdOte Despntch 70 THh SUN.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-Further lamentation
is heard from he House OF Commons over
the regrettable changes which AVE come
about in this Parliament in what was once
called the best club in London. Cheap
shilling dinners, water drinkers, shocking
ties, terrible hats and worse clothes OF
certain members have already been de-
plored, but now even the cheap dinners,
which themselves we're considered by many
to be an evil, have introduced a fresh evil,
for their cheapness has resulted in the in
PRODUCTION of the tipping of walters.
Even the Labor members have had to
sink their principles and tip according to
their means. A Liberal member, therefore,
has given notice that he will ask the chair
man Of the Kitchen Committee to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY OF raising the price of the
shilling dinner 70 IS pence or IS pence and
pay the walters more money.
After deploring the passing of various
old customs one writer says that sadder
still is the practice Of smoking pipes in the
smoking room, where cigars used to be
the only smoke permitted in the good old
days when a cup of tea cost anything from
a shilling to half a crown.
Mr.. Asquith, Chancellor OF the Excheq-
uer, has broken a tradition which. has
hitherto been observed Of wearing a hat
on the Treasury bench. Chancellors and
ex-Chancellors alone are privileged to do
this. Mr.. Asquith. however, sits hatless.
In the lobbies all private members used to
be obliged to wear their hats. The front
bench man and the whips alone did not
wear hats, but in the present Parliament
hardly any one retains his hat.

TAX on REAL TITLES.
Funny Paradox OF French Legislation Is q
Revenue Raiser.

Special Cdbie Despatch to TIE SUN.
PARIS, Dec. I5.-Would any people but
the French, with their refreshing habit OF
being ever ready to provide a new sensa-
ton, think OF putting the stamp of State on
a recognit ion OF titles Of nobility after de-
claring that such titles are non-existent2
The Chamber has assented to such a project
on the Budget Committees proposal for
the AXE OF providing further revenue.
Titles are not to be reestablished or
made legal, but the bearers and users Of
them are to be compelled to pay a tax,
as well as those inheriting them. The law
might by reverse action e~xtinguish titles,
il human vanity were not equal to any
strain, through causing REIMBURSEMENT Of
titles in preference to payment for the
privilege Of wearing them. The joke is
that the tax is to be levied only on titles
known TO be authentic, so fake titles may
flourish untaxed and without being inter-
fered with. All mayors are TO be requested
to send in a list OF persons bearing titles,
whether they are real or false.

From Temblekan caves.

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, Dec. l5.-Dutch colonial papers
report a remarkable case Of animal instinct.
The people in the village Of Legowo, in the
Javanese province OF Salatiga, suffered raw
ages from hordes Of gray monkeys which
destroyed their plantations. The Dutch
sub overno recommended that they try
strychnine to get rid OF the pests.
The favorite fruits Of the monkeys we're
accordingly collected in large quantities;
heavily dosed with strychnine and de-
posted in the woods. The monkeys ate
freely and many Of them became violently
i'll, but none died. 1t was then discovered
thai the monkeys when they felt the effects
Of the poison went in search OF and ate
temblekan leaves, a certain weed which
grows profusely in the archipelago.
It was found that when the animals were
too i'll to seek the weed themselves they
had il brought to them by other monkeys
which were not soill. The Batavian authon-
ties are now conducting a series Of expert
ments with a view to asoertaining the true
curative qualities Of the temblekan leaf.

RIOT AT STATE PENAL FARM.
Negro Nearly Kills Two Guards Pardon
for Trusty Who Saved Them.

JACKSON, Miss. Deo 1S.-In a riot at the
State farm at Oakley this afternoon, fol-
lowed by a hand to hand fight, Sergt. John
Dodds and sergt. J. NJ. Buckley were seri-
ously wounded.
The trouble started in a fight between
two negro oonvicts in which others soon
joined. The two sergeants stopped the dis
turbance and drove Ben Cooper, said to
be the agRressor, into his cell.
They then entered TO administer punish
ment and he attacked them with a knife.
Buckley was stabbed and fell to the floor
unconscious. The negro seized a billet Of
wood. felled Dodds and was preparing TO
kill both when negro trusty named Heze-
kiah Planter interfered. Other oonvicts ran
to help Cooper, but a squad OF guards
quelled the riot.
Gov. Vardaman, with twenty members Of
the State militia, went to the scene in a
special train, but when they arrived quiet
had been restored.
Cooper and the seven other ringleaders
Of the riot were whipped, Sergt. Dodds. in
spite OF a broken arm, dealing fifty blows
TO each. The Governor, as soon as he learned
of Planters action, gave him a full pardon.
