NAVY YARD TITLE 0UlETED.

SAN FRANCISCO. - The United States governments title to Mare is land, where the nay yard is situat- cd. was quilted by United States Dis trict Judge Van Fleet, when he threw out the suit of E. H. Sawyer, of Vallejo, against Rear-Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, former commandant at the yard, and Captain Henry T., Mayo. the present commandant.
 Sawyer claimed title to several thousand acres under patent issu- ed m March, 1857, giving title to the land by virtue of the swamp land act survey of the State of California. Judge Van Fleet ruled that the land in question was not swamp land, and therefore the state patent was void.

brslia ir really. under it's innocent exterior, a formidable steel weapon. that teht serve to ward of the pos sible attacks of a lunatic assassin. II will he remembered that Queen Vie toria. when driving in an open car. r-age often carried an unfurled silk srnshade which was interlined with chain mail. These sunshades were. of course. extremely heavy, and .he fatigue and gruesome ideas caused by carrying them are to be classod among those unpleasant penalties of royalty about which the general pup lie hear litIe.
 Another theory to account for Queen Mary's persistent use of the unrcgallooking umbrella is that it serves her as support during the long hours when she must stand un- right during public functions But the queen Is never seen 10 lean on her umbrella, but bears herself erecJ in the correct royal manner Witbou- is aid. Moreover, a graceful diree- to1re wand would serve this purpose more appropriately and could be Us ed both indoors and out.
 True, Princess Mary also shows an ungirlsh liking for miniature um- brelIas, and persists in carrying these cnromantfc. and, in her case, quite unnecessary as icles, in spite of much teasing from the younger princes.
 There are. of course, ungallant people who say that her majesty is not so thin as she was, and that she actually requires a support. but th". does not solve the mystery do you also never see Princess May in public without an umbrella?

 LONDON. - 1t turns on a very simple problem-why does Queen Mary always carry an umbrella? But just as Rousseau said, "behind this laughter there are bitter tears;' so behind this parapluie amazed Eng land today sees swords, bombs and other dire republican perils.
 The mystery owes it's origin to a recent but unsuspected visit which Queen Mary made to a museum in the old world cathedral of Norwich
 The queen, accompanied by Prin- cess Mary, Prince Henry and Prince George, was guided around the m"- scum by the Bishop of Norwich, Dr Pollock. The visit was her majesty s own idea, and as she was anxious that it should be private the off cials were not warned
 Queen Mary was willing to dis pense with red carpet and bouquets with bows and speechmaking, but the royal plan for secrecy collapsed when the attendant, as in du,y bound, asked her majesty to leave her umbrella at the entrance. Queen Mary, rather than part from her umbrella. disclosed her identity and so obtained the royal prerogative of walking through the museum full ly equipped for the possibility of the blowing off of the roof coinciding with a heavy shower
 Now, as it happens. Queen Mara s intense devotion to her umbrella has often been remarked A queen, ex- cept on private occasions, does not require an umbrella in the ordinary sense. There is always the covered carriage or the canopy to protect a royal head from the weather. But Queen Mary's neatly rolled and hand some umbrella seldom leaves her hand at a public function, though it would be quite appropriate for it to be carried by an attendant or a ady-in-waiting.
 Why is this? A good many shrewd obesrver believe tha the royal um-
