Antiope's Crew Wastes Buckets

100000 of the stuff unaware of it's
value 1t was not until yesterday that
Captain john Mathieson, master of the
vessel, learned that he had let a for

part of the grease had been saved
and this was identified by an Oakland
druggist as ambergris.
The Antiope reached here few days
ago from Newcastle. Captain Mathie-
son stated yesterday that when the
ship was in latitude 20 degrees south
a large quantity of grease" was seen
floating the surface of the ocean.
The ship was hecalmed and the men
managed to scoop up several bucket
fuls of the stuff. They found 1t an
excellent grease and the mate decided
to use it in "slushong" down the masts
What was left was used by the seamen

Captain Mathieson says he could

one of the foremost men in his branch
of education in the United States
The distinguished scholar, who is the

but was handicapped by it's failure TO
have an ancestry. He said during an
interlude in his class this morning:
1T must be admitted that despite the
rapid strides made by the American
people in the past decades we are an
uncultivated race In my classes in
Chicago 1 found that less than 80 per
cent of the students could boast of an
American ancestry for more than two
generations.
I'VE are getting away from our bad
English<because we are becoming more
and more free from the atmosphere of
the foreign born where 1t is heard.
We learn bad grammar from hearing
it and the only hope for desirable
condition of affairs to exist is in the
American home where cultured people
talk and teach culture to their chill
dren. This will come about only when
the American educational system be-
comes old enough to have reached in

QUESTION OF SUCCESSION
Effect of Nominees Death or
Disability Raises Discussion

WASHINGTON. June $50 far as is
known no power is vested in the repub-
Iican national committee to fill va
cancy on the presidential or vice presi-
Dental ticket that might occur between
the date of the nominating convention
and the first Tuesday in the November
following, when the people by their
votes determine the status of the cam
didates, either by rejecting them at the
polls or by conferring upon them the
titles of vice president and president
elect.
A hasty study of the precedents
shows shows that no emergency has
arisen In the history of the republic
such as would arise by the death or re-
tirement of one of the candidates be-
fore election day.
of course, there can be no statutory
law on the subject, because. after all.
not only the national committees, but
the conventions that create them, are
ex official-they have no standing in
law. Therefore there is nothing to
prevent a committee from filing a va
cancy on ticket-that is, no law of
prohibition-but, of course, that COM
mittee would be answerable to the
great party which it represented.
1t has been suggested in the past that
the committee be authorized to fill a
vacancy If one of the persons named as
a candidate on the. ticket should decline
the honor, but that after all, would be
a clear case of delegated power and
very different from such contingency
as might arise through the inability Of
Sherman to accept the nomination.
1t has been a common practice in the
nomination of candidates for state Of
fees to authorize the state committees
to fill vacancies, as it is frequent oc-
currence for some nominees either to
drop out of the race, become, I'll or die.
AS the convention which nominated
Taft and Sherman adjourned without
day its existence is at an end. so that
IL is said by men who are familiar with
the practices of the parties If 1T became
