THE STORY 0F
 LITTLE B.--"

Howard Hamilton Hart, California millionaire, former Yukon sourdougn has come into prominence in San Francisco in new case. Last year he was known to fame ever America as the man who had a bothersome automobile run off the ferry into San Francisco bay just to get rid oI tee pssky ho0doO. While In Uue North, Hart was onC of the i've wires. He was at Fortymile in the days when Tom O'Brieu and other present day Klondikers were mak- ing the early history of the en- pire of gold. Later part went to Dawson, and soon aft2rward was engaged in mining near there. He worked some of the famous grouhu staked by the Goorge Carm@ck- SkooLum Jim discovery party. Uo- ing outside with @ moderate stake' he was married, and later got into the oil business in California, where by he rose to wealth. His latest eN- ploit is told in the San Francisco Examiner of December 10, as fol- lows:
 This is the story Of Little BiIi' and the practical philanthropy of a millionaire.
 | some day we may refer to Lit lue Bill" as the poor little rich boy but today he is just Little Bill.
 The phiIanthropic millionaire is Howard Hamilton Hart, who struck lit rich in the Klondike during the early days of the Alaskan rush, and now owns a magnificent villa Jn the heights of Claremont, in Oakland.
 Hart is a direct actiouist in phil anthropy. He gives money to the needy, but he has found a way Of making his dollars go further and do more close at home Therefore, Little Bill, and Howard and Ortha, three orphans, have been adopted, members the Hart household. Howard and Ortha are eight and seven years old respectively.
 Little Bill is the third charity baby. Now a little more than yea old. he was abandoned on the Hart doorstep. A note was pinned to his white wooden dress. It read: My name is Bill"
 Little Bill arrived just after Mrs. Hart had died. She had been her husbands companion for 20 years. She had "mushed" it across the frozen tundra of the North and had dr'ven the shaggy ma.dmutes and undergone the hardshiDs Of trail and mountain. And she was the jnsHir- ation in adopting Howard and Or tha, fOuudlings.
 Poor little fellow, We will call Ihim Little Bill" said Hart when Ithe butler placed the child before him. Little Bill had found a home There is a wonderfully eqUIpgeA children's playroom. There are all kinds of fascinating toys-rocking horses, building blocks, picture books, q hand box and a swing, and cleverly constructed cats and dogs and ponies. Everything that baby l heart desires.
 "Meanwhile the mother of Little | Bill has not forgotten him nor the kindness of the great-bearted miner. | An anonymous letter came to Hart ! from the unknown mother.
 Thank you and God bless you for caring for Little Biu," it read.
 To help direct the affairs of the children Hart has placed Mrs. Louis ! Scholler in charge as houseEscper. ."

FOR PEACE SHAFT
 AT APP0MAT TT0X

WASHINGTON. D. C., ~Aug. 30- Major General George B. Davis. re- tired, has outlined plan to mark the spot of Lees surrender at Ap- pomattox with a peace monument" in honor of both the Blue and the Gray, in commemoration of the end of the struggle between the North and the South.
 There two of the greatest armies the world has ever seen," said General Davis, laid down their arms, and there two of the greatest generals of all times united in a pact of peace that lives and will continue to live.
 Tt is only fitting that this mem orable place should be marked by a monument in honor of that event. l remember distinctly how careful General Grant was to avoid giving offense to General Lee.
 After the terms of the surrender had been drawn up and signed, General Lee mounted his horse and started to ride off, but General Grant followed him, overlook him, and together they rode for several hOurs.'

Boys and girls have been steadily working on their costumes for some time, and have looked forward to their parts in the celebration with great expectation. The pageants would portray 300 years of commer- cial progress of the island of Man haitian, with reproductions of the manners. races and customs which marked the birth and growth of the metropolis Several thousands of visitors have been expected to visit the city during the two months fes- tivities, which were planned to culminate on Columbus day, Oct 12

MOHAWK VALLEY
 HAS B|C PAGEANT

UTICA, N. Y., Aug. 30.-A three day pageant exhibiting the history of the Mohawk valley, was held here under the auspices of the German American alliance. An episode in this display was the founding of the Hamilton college, in which Baron Von Steuben had a part.
 statue to the baron was dedicat- ed with appropriate ceremonies, and speeches were delivered by Senator Elihu Root, Congressman Charles Talcott and the German Ambassa- dor, Count von Bernstorff, who de- livered the chief address.
 Von Steuben, who has been des cribed as "the drill master of the revolution" is buried near Utica, on the estate presented to him by congress- He wrote the drill regu- lations for the Continental army, and had much to do with organiza- tion of the forces. Of the 5000 players who took part in this three day pageant, large number are the descendants of those who took part in the actual events pictured
