Mr.. Editor:
In looking over the names Of can

me strongly for consideration Is the
name Of Charley Cooper for Assessor.
You will recall that he is the man

escaped with their lives.
He asks us to give him a small Of
flee that he may support the rem
nant Of his loved ones until he can
get q little start again. Those who
know him bear witness that he Is
well qualified.
The people Of this county have new
er failed to respond to a deserving
call for help. and I believe you win
do SO in this instance.

BERKELEY ARTIST
INSPIRED AUTHOR
Mrs. Sarah Slaughter de LOrme
Said to Have Caused Long,
fellows Masterpiece

BERKELEY, Nov. 9.-That she was
the inspiration which prompted Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow to write his
celebrated poem on the "Courtship of
Miles Standish" was revealed at the
funeral of Mrs. Sarah Slaughter de
Lorme, pioneer resident of the state
and prominent portrait painter of this
city, who died Saturday night As a
little girl Mrs. De Lorme was friend
of the great poet and used to sit by
his side as he wrote his verses in the
New England town.
She was Sarah Standish then. a direct
descendent of the famous leader of the
Plymouth rock pilgrims. She was the
inspiration, it is claimed by Mrs de
Lorme's friends, which led the great
American poet to pen the immortal
lines of the triumph of Captain Stan
dish's younger rival, John Alden.
Old time friends of Mrs. De Lorme
were present at the funeral, which was
held from her residence in Oxford
street, at o'clock this afternoon.
Among them was Captain Haskell. in
whose ship she Travelled to California
in 1858.
There promises to be a contest over
Mrs. de Lorme's will, as an earlier will
has been produced than that drawn up
few months ago by Attorney Arthur
Elston. The first will was signed sew
eral years ago.
