cessury 10 give that Company Il chance t.
become acquainted with the extent of oper-
atoms they have to undertake, an to ia lg3
of what might not suit the Company. The
Company is but recently org tnizal, an
there has been no chance for tlem to max
thrm,e!ves acquainted with the DAFT of
Ordinance on the matter nov baf re the
Colonial Council therefore it seems quite
necessary that The Company should have the
opportun ty to study the matter and this
can only be done by postpon;ng the Draft.
End CroWnmember (C0nru~) said, it seems
10 him that it would be very practical to
postpone this discussion on the Draft, till
at least next meeting.
The Chairman said it is so, that tile Co
loaIal Council has 40 power or righ' to post
p3ue disc ISIS ons on a Draft, but what the.
Council might eventually do, is to I eject the
Draft.
eth Member for Frelerikstel's Country
District (lfey7oin) the Company just esta-
b.ished is to work on a capital of $4,000;
it appears necessary that the Ordinance on
Telephones ought not to emanate before the
Company had been finally organized and the
duties and responsibilities definitely esta-
blished by the Company.
The Governor begged to disagree with
the honorable 4th Member for FrederikstedS
Country District. The natural course was
to have the Ordinance first, the Company
afterwards.
4th Member for Fyederiksted's Country
District (Meytoin) said, it Is to be supposed
that the Telephone Company must come
into existence first, then the Ordinance. 1t
is a general desire to have telephone connec-

SEXTON LOSES HIS
USEFUL COMPANION
Benjamin, Irish Setter and Ca
nine Sage, Laid to Rest
in Cemetery
Charles S. Lewis Misses Dog
That Served Him Well for
Fourteen Years

{ OAKLAND, Nov. 2s.-Benjamin. Irish
setter. canine sage and well beloved
friend and companion of Sexton Charles
S. Lewis of the First congregational
church, has completed a long and ex-
tremely useful life High up on the
ridge overlooking the Moraga valley
the sexton dug his grave. and there the
faithful dog is sleeping his last sleep,
safely removed from the disturbances
and turmoil of the city in which most
of his eventful years were spent.
Benjamin was widely known as one
Of the most intelligent dogs in Oak
land. and he counted his friends by the
thousands. During the IA years through
which he served his master. BENJAMIN
made seven long trips. two TO the Yo-
semitic valley, two to Mount Shasta, one
to the Sierras and one to the Hawaiian
islands. His official duties as assistant
to the sexton consisted of clearing the
church lawn of rubbish. fetching
brooms. rakes or dustpans from the
basement at the command of his mas
ter. running errands, carrying notes and
bringing answers. and buying gro
ceries. candies or peanuts, which he
paid for with money carried in his
mouth
All these duties he performed faith
fully and well. and never once was
there a suspicion of dishonesty in his
financial transactions Mark Twain has
said that ony a Presbyterian dog can
get into heaven. but the Congrega-
tionalists of Oakland know that he was
mistaken, for surely no other dog has
earned a better right than Benjamin TO
passport through the pearly gates.

1T is little difficult for me to
forgive you for not letting me know
who you were when 1 was at Spokane.
What trump Jake Riis is! Sin
cerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
The ''feat with the burglars" to
which the president refers, occurred
in the winter of 1878, when an cpl
demic of crime, chiefly burglaries,
spread over the residential district of
New York, and the burglars, in de-
fiance of the police, did murder when
resisted. Mr.. Richards was at that
time a firearms salesman and presi-
dent of rife club, and then, as now,
a crack shot with gun and pistol
Early one morning he heard a noise
in the hall of his home, and literally
jumping out of bed, he seized his re-
volver and slipped quickly down the
stairs. When he reached the foot of
the steps the hall lamp revealed
three armed men, one at his right,
one at the left and another directly
in front of him.
The trio saw Mr.. Richards almost
as quickly as he had noticed them,
and they closed upon him. He fired
at the one on the left, slightly wound
ing him. The man fell, but on rising
started again for Mr.. Richards, who,
whirling, fired again, the ball going
wide and imbedding itself in chair,
which is priced souvenir at the
Richards home. The man was laid
low with the third ball. The second
man was covered, and meanwhile the
third one escaped. While the man
in front of the gun had his hands in
/ the air. Mr.. Richards called to his
wife to bring him more cartridges.
Which she did. In the meantime, the
police, attracted by the shooting, took
the captured man in charge. Exami-
nation of the dead man showed the
first shot. had torn off his upper lip,
while the third pierced his heart.
Mr.. Richards was asked to accom-
pany the police to headquarters
where he was besieged by reporters
Among them was a young man who
spoke English in chunks, which led
Mr.. Richards to suppose he was d
Swedish nativity. After conference
with the coroner, Mr.. Richards was
permitted to return home. The cap.

tured burglar proved to be an ex-
convict. He was sent to prison for
Is years. The killing of one burglar
and capturing of another caused some
excitement in New York, and Mr..
Richards was the hero of the hour.
One fire arms company presented him
with a pair of revolvers and he re-
ceived letters and congratulations
from all sides.
Mr.. Richards came west in 1888,
ten years after the exciting incident.
Three years ago, when Jacob Riis
came to Spokane to lecture for the
Y. M. G. A., Mr.. Richards, who was
on a visit in the Snake river country,
received a telegram saying that Mr.
Riis would be on the same train by
he would return to Spokane. He
joined the noted slum reformer on
the train and their conversation nat
urally fell on old days in New York.

well; | was one of the reporters
who interviewed you at police head
quarters" was the reply.
Then Mr.. Richards recalled the
young reporter whose tangled Eng
lish caused him to be mistaken for
a son Of Sweden.
During his stay in the city Mr..
Riis was guest at Mr.. Richards
home, as he was on his last visit,
when he presented Mr.. Richards a
copy of his book, Theodore Roose-
welt, the Citizen" 1t was the letter
from Mr.. Richards acknowledging
the gift that Mr.. Riis showed to the
president, and the result was the let
ter from President Roosevelt quoted
in the foregoing.
