day.
Spreckles recently returned from
New York, suffering from a cold which
developed into pneumonia, although

and came to the United States in 1916
reaching San Francisco in 1856, where
he established a store and later con-
Quoted a brewery. In 1868 he built
importation of raw materials from
Hawaii. The prospering business built
other refineries and later promoted
beet sugar industry. He was largely
interested in many other enterprises
Spreckles sons and two daugh-
ters were at his bedside. Rudolph re-
turned from Honolulu, Japan. His
son, John D., is proprietor of the San
Francisco Call.
Apart from the Importance which
attached to Claus Spreckles as the
pioneer sugar refiner of the Pacific
coast and an investor in mines in Cal
ifornia and the Hawaiian Islands, the
Spreckles family has for many years
been one of the most prominent in
the state. His son John D., has for
many years been a directing influence
in the Oriental trade. Apart from 9TH
er interests, and his son Rudolph is
president OF the First National Bank
of this city, Spreckles has been one

extent of thousands of dollars, in ad

MUCH MONEY FOR THE
INAUGURATION OF TAFT.

Washington, Dec. 23.-If money
has anything to do with making the
Inauguration success that of Pres
ident-e1ect Taft on March 4th, next,
will be the greatest the country has
ever seen. Already Chairman Giles,
of the finance committee has. in his
possession guaranty of $4,000 which
is $4,000 more than the total amount
received four years ago, and it is ex-
pected that before the contributions
cease, the fund will be considerably
larger. The chief source of revenue
from which to return the guaranteed
fund, is the inaugural ball, which
brought in $4,000 four years ago,
while the income from the reviewing
stands was $4,000. It is expected
there will be at least 100000 visitors
in Washington on Inauguration day.

Reuben Rupert, night fireman of
the stationary engine at the round
house, has probably lost both his eyes
ter, car repairer for the railroad
company, has badly burned face and
lascerated hand as result of an ac-
cident with Christmas fireworks at
eleven o'clock the night before Christ
mas.
Gunter was off duty and went to the
round-house to celebrate a little, TAX
ing a giant fire-cracker, which he lit
on torch at the door of the building,
near which Is the stationary engine.
Mr.. Rupert was in the act of putting
in shovelful Of coal and although he
saw Gunter light the cracke. he sup
posed he would throw it away before
the explosion came. And that is what
Gunter intended to do, but the crack
er went off just as his hand went out
to throw it and just as it came close
to the face of Mr.. Rupert. The force
of the explosion was great, as shown
by the scars on the door and building
where pieces of the hard paper crack
er struck. One of Mr.. Rupert's eyes
was blown completely out and the 9th
er burnt until the sight is believed
to be out. His face was otherwise lac
Grated and burned. He remained con-
scious six hours and then went out
of his head. He has never returned to
consciousness and, it is feared, will
not recover.
Mr.. Gunter had the end of one fing-
er torn of and his hand cut deeply in
three places. He is not dangerously
hurt, barring blood-poison.
Mr.. Rupert lives at 301 East Sixth
street, but was taken directly to st.
Mary's hospital. He is 4S years old
and has a wife. Gunter lives with
cousin in this city. He is about 23
years old and has no immediate rel
atives in Roswell.

washington, Dec. 26.-If the leaders

Paris, France, Dec. 26.-The entire
press, with the exception of the -eac-
tionary newspapers consider the at
tack yesterday in the streets of Paris
upon President Faillieres by an unem-
ployed waiter named MATHS, VINO said
he only tried to pull the Presidents
beard, as fantastic act without polit-
ical importance.
If the cause of the Bourbons and
the Bonapartists were not as dead as
a door nail, such pitiful exhibitions OF
impotent fury would completely dis
credit them. Despite the general opin-
ion, nevertheless, some of the Repub-
lican organs express the opinion the
Government should do something to
put an end to the campaign persist
emily conducted by small groups of
militant royahsts, aided by the cler-
ical organizations, with the object OF
keeping public opinion inflamed. The
recent disorders at the Academy of
Medicine, while originating from gen
uine dissatisfaction with the new sys-
tenn of examinations, are attributed
largely to this same reyalist and cler-
ical agitation which some time ago
brought about the retirement of Prof
Thalamas, whose offense consisted in
writing the history of Joan of Arc.
He attempted to prove the stories of
her divine Inspirations mere legends
devoid of any historical foundations.
The mental calibre of Maths is IL
lustrated by the fact that ne was
swindled a few weeks ago by a matri-
monial advertisement He gave up
his entire savings of $1,000 under the
impression that he was about to marry
of wealth.
