MRS ALICE sCHEKMERHORN MERRILL.
 \ In Riverside, Cal. March B, 1907, Alice Schermerhorn Merrill, aged 34 years, one month, 27 days. Many friends were saddened when the word was given out that Mrs Alice Scherme r. horn Merrill, wife of G. Burden Mer- Till, of 38l Orange street, Riverside, had finally succumbed to the heart disease which had grown gradually worse and worse for the past four years. Recently she had suffered much in her illness, but her last hours were peace full and painless, and shortly before three o'clock in the morning she passed to the better land without waking from the quiet sleep into which she had fallen. Alice Schermerhorn was born in New York City about 34 years ago, the daughter of MT and Mrs John P Scbermerhorn. She lost her father in infancy, and at the age. of about 20 she and her mother moved to Bristol, Conn. It was there she met MT Mer- Till, and about nine years ago, shortly after their marriage, they came to Riverside, Mrs Schermerhorn accom- panying them. Mrs Merrill became an immediate favorire in local society and was prominently associated with the
 Woman's Club and the ExtempOran- eous Drill Club. as we'll as being a prominent worker in All Saints Epfs- copal church. Her increasing illness, dropping social activities and confined her closer and closer to her home. But she made and retained 8 host of friends. who sincerely mourn her tax ing. The funeral service of Mrs Mer- Till was he'd at o'clock, Saturday, March 16. from the Episcopal church, Rev Nj. o. Dotten officiating.

Edward Taylor appeared before the committee on fisheries and game at the Legislature in Hartford, Thurs day, in opposition to bill extending the open season on partrtdReS- MT Taylor said in part: MT Chairman and Gentlemen: If I am correct you are here to act as guardians for the fish and game, and to recommend laws for their preservation and protection; and not laws to see how quickly you can annthtlate them as you are sure to do if you allow December shooting. l wish to say right here, that any person asking to extend the shooting season into December is unconsciously or oth- erwiSe an enemy of the game birds and should like to ask their reason for so doing, as there is no month in the whole year, if allowed to hunt, so month of December; and plead with you as guardians and in behalf of that noble game bird to let the law remain as 1t is and not allow any December shooting of birds. We do not wish to stop hunting entirely for any number folly, as 1t would advertise 1t in all the surrounding states and when the hunt ing season again opened the hunters would flock in by the hundreds and at the end of the first open season, there would not be as many birds left as
 
 feet. We want to allow the sports 7 man some pleasure, but to so restrict him that the game will increase in spite of him, and think the law As it now stands is accomplishing it. Let the sportsman have about 40 per cent and the birds, 60 per cent that will keep them strong. 1 think the law as it now stands is doing it. Now, Gen tlemen, I leave in your hands the noblest game bird in the United States, the partridge, one you cannot restock; and plead with you to let the law remain as it now stands. In SC doing am voicing the sentiments of | the signers of this petition.

: There appears DC doubt that BY far
the larger amount allotted, prob
ably at least threefifths, is subject
to redemption, with accrued inter

Of an issue of $4,000, coo this would
amount to a redemption of $1,000
600 with interest to the amount of
one and one-half percent, which
would require 1925 600 for interest
payments. If s10,000,O00 of the GER
tifcates ran the full period of one
year interest payments at three per-
cent would consume 100000. These
two sums, therefore, making a total
of S525, ZOO, would represent the en-
tire cost of the issue of the certifi-

GERMAN CHAN
CELLOR TALKS
MUCH POLITICS

Berlin, Nov. 20. Prince Won Bue-
low, imperial chancellor, delivered a
comprehensive speech in the reichs-
tag today relative to foreign policies.
He referred to the seriousness of the
situation in Morocco and limited that
some of the sacrifices of European
B lives would not have occurred had
the international police, provided for
by the Algeciras convention, been or
ganized in June. :.G5s ri
He recognized, however, under the
circumstances, that France and Spain
could not have acted otherwise than
they had done, and with them rested
the whole responsibility. Unfortun-
ately German private interests had
suffered thereby and the German
government would be compelled to
help the sufferers until the interna-
tional commission made settlement.
T. Germany, he declared, was await
ing developments with calm reserv.
! It was to the interest of Germany
and of Europe that affairs in Moroc-
CO be calm, and the fundamental
principle Of this calmness must be
the Algeciras act. 0
Referring to assertions that have
been made, that Germany, in recent
4 years, has twice been on the verge
{. Of war, the first time in 1904, dur
ing the emperor's voyage in the Med
4 iterranian and later in consequence
of the crisis in Morocco, Won Bueloy
i declared that neither Emperor Viii
liam nor President Loubet though
of war in 1904. A wish that tn
T heads of the two states should NEE
was expressed, but no invitation wa
extended and no refusal was given
While the crisis in Morocco neve
would have led to war, the chancel
