remarkably historic quality of the blood which
this wedding was blending. Whether Leuten"
ant Jonathan Delano and Mercy Warren
knew it or not, they were extremely distant
cousins. Back in the family trees of both
were such great figures as the Conqueror,
the half-legendary King Alfred and Charles
the Great or Charlemagne, whole lines OF
dukes and earls, and the Capetian and Plan
tagenet kings. By several different lines
they had common ancestors-for, as history
tells US, these old royal families who made
Europe" quite frequently had internlarried.
Now, by one Of history's strangest freaks,
these ancient families were Joined once
more, on the remote edge of the American
wilderness. And, just as this couples fore

and the Continent, so their direct descen"

REMOvE from history the deeds Of their an.
A cestorS and Of their posterity, and there would
be mighty little history left!
Old Philippe De Ia Noye now aged 76, was
probably at this wedding. He had been mere
boy Of 10 when the fortune" sailed over. iona"
than was his seventh child, his fourth son. Three
years after the wedding the old man was dead,
Richard Warren Of the "Mayfower" had died a
half-century before.
Let US trace these two Pilgrim sweethearts'
ancestry, beginning with Phil
lippe De la Noye, the BRIDE
groom's father. A>N\ -
Philippe was Of Norman AONN~
French Viking stock. Very
noble. If you will look in the
older editions of Appleton'S CIAES M
Encyclopedia of American
Biography, you will find these words:
"The descendants Of the Pilgrim ancestors,
Philip Delano, Of Plymouth, have the satisfaction
of tracing their ancestry in the old country for
dozen centuries. They have established their
full right to bear the arms Of the Delano family,
which could be of no better stock"
Philip himself deserves mention. His noble
grandparents, being Huguenots, or Protestants'
were driven out Of France during the centuries
when Huguenots were prosecuted. They settled
in Leyden, Holland, a free country religlously..
Every school-child knows how the Separatist
schismatics of the village Of Scrooby, England,
also left home and went to Holland, settling in
Leyden.
Here the English refugees and the Huguenot
refugees grew friendly. The De la Noye family

grew up together. And why not? Had they not
in common that great leveler Of birth differ
ences, years of suffering and persecution for the
right to worship God as conscience dictated?
Religiously, the Huguenots and the English Sepa-
ratists were not very far apart. Both were Protes
tants, whose belief went ultimately back to Cal
vim and Luther.
When the scrooby refugees, after eight years
Of residence in Holland, began to plan to settle
in the wilderness of America, young Philippe
shared their plans. Finally, as we all know, the

But is was made clear at that

PARENTS ASKED TO COOPERATE
ON OPENING OF SCHOOL YEAR

of three months is made. This
means that in order to enter the
first grade a child would have to
be six on or before December 18,
1888. No beginner will be admitted
after Monday, October 16, 1893. 1t
is not legally possible to make even
one days allowance in addition to
the three months indicated.
The law states the kindergarten
age to be from four and one-half
to six years. This law is interpreted
to mean that the childs fourth
birthday must have occurred at
least three months before the
opening of the term, i. e., in this
case, on or before June 18, 1888.
Parents are advised not 70 send
their children to kindergarten until
they are at least four years and
nine months old for the following
reasons: First, we have a kinder
garten course of only one year
and if child finishes that be-
fore he has attained to school age
he will either have to drop out
for a half year or take the same
work over again in the kindergart-
en-; second, a child of five will get
much more out of kindergarten
work than a child of four and a
half; third, the law passed by the
recent legislature sets the age limit
for kindergarten at five years, this
law to be effective by the mid-term
of this year.
There will be an Americanization
class at the Eastside school; a
morning kindergarten at the Nc
Kinley school; and morning and
an afternoon kindergarten session
at the Harding school.
Unless the enrolment necessit-
ateS a change in the assignment
of grades, grades will be assigned
to the several buildings as follows:

ing grades in their respective
schools:

WOMAN GETS
JAIL SENTENCE

Showing none OF the belligerency
she had displayed on a former oc-
casion but still keeping her attitude
of silence, Mary Sims, Negress,
charged with disturbing the peace
and resisting an officer, was brought
before police judge Lee Nuffer yes
terday afternoon for trial.
After hearing the testimony of
Officers Tackett and Stark, the
court sentenced the woman to
spend 80 days in the county Jail.
During the entire court trial, she
paced about the room and refused
to answer any questions put to
her. When informed of the sentence
she marched out of the courtroom
and into the patrol wagon without
any disturbance at all.
Her arrest followed an attempt
to reenter local home where she
had been employed after her dis
charge. When the woman became
violent the police were called and
it was necessary for three officers
to handle her to bring her back to
the station and from there to the
county Jail. While in the patrol she
ripped holes in the top of the car
with a pair of scissors and also in
the padding on the inside of the
machine.

TOKENS To Be
ISSUED SOON
State Board Of Equalization
Lays Plans To Collect Only
Legal Sales Tax.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 16. U.Pj--
Both the lone price plan and the
breakdown system" now employed
to collect the new retail sales tax,
will be abandoned when merchants
of California begin the use of to-
kens to facilitate collection of the
levy, the state board Of equaliza-
ton announced today.
Use of the tokens was decided
upon after a meeting early this
week at which retail merchants
from all parts of the state pro-
tested inequalities in present me-
thods of tax collection. In order to
clear up any misunderstanding re-
garding the boards decision to
supervise the issuance of the "mer-
chant money"-which will be in
denominations of one eighth cent
the board issued Ithel following
statement.
Ito clarity the situation, the
board desires to emphasize the fact
that the effect of adopting the to-
ken system is to abolish the pre-
sent breakdown system as inaug-
urated by the merchants, and also
the so-called one price plan where
the tax was included in the sales
price of the article.
Both the breakdown system
and the one price plan are auto
matically abolished, effective when
the tokens are coined and ready for
distribution, as the board is insist
ent that no more than the exact
2a per cent tax provided by law
shall be collected, and has so stat
ed. Therefore, the tax cannot be in
corporated in the articles sold, as
the merchant would have no me-
thod of accounting which would
clearly indicate that the correct
tax-and no more-was collected.
"Of necessity the rule that will
be adopted by the board must be
prepared with extreme care to avoid
legal difficulties, but the effect OF
the board'c action, as stated, is to
make posslole collection of the ex-
act tax levied by law and both the
breakdown system and the one
price plan will be abandoned as
soon as the tokens are in use"

CUBAN LEADER
ASKS SUPPORT
Grau San Martin Negotiates For
Backing Of Rival Political
Factions.
BY LAWRENCE S. HAAS

NSopyIlSul, 1900, ny Olllleu freSS)
HAVANA, Sept. 16. President
Ramon Grau San Martin, his pres
tige mounting rapidly, today began
new negotiations for the support
of principal political leaders
1t was reported reliably that rep
resentatives of the student director
which engineered the revolt that
put Grau San Martin in office,
were in contact with American AM
bassador Welles.
The Grau San Martin negotia-
tions and the reported contracting
with Welles, by far the most i'm
portant developments of the tran
Sitional presidents six-day regime
followed Immediately upon the
prompt suppression of a revolt in
Pinar Del Rio province.
The first meeting of the political
negotiators was held in the early
hours this morning.
On one side were Grau San
Martin, former professor of medi-
cine at the National university, and
three member of the student di-
rectory. 1t was the students and the
enlisted men of the army that put
him in office after depoSing Carlos
Manuel De Cespedes, provisional
president.
On the other side were four vet
Grams schooled in the intricacies OF
Cuba's turbulent politics.
They were: Mario Menocal, for
mer president of cuba and leader OF
the Conservative party; Carlos
Mendieta, chief of the Nationalist
party; Joaquon Martinez Saenz,
leader of the powerful ABC revo-
lutionary society and treasury-sec-
retary in the Cespedes cabinet, and
Miguel Mariana Gomez, leader of
the Marianista party.
These four demanded that Grau
San Martin resign in favor of a
group of representatives of all po-
litical parties, who would decide
whether to rename him or choose
someone else to serve as president
pending a constitutional assembly
and formal elections.
Grau San Martin, his position
many times stronger that it was "a
hours ago, refused. He pointed out
his quick suppression of the revolt
of soldiers and civilians in Pinar
Del Rio province, as an indication
of his strength.
