Bill Passes the Commons.
Cardiff, June 5. The Methodists . of
South Wales have adopted resolutions
expressing their regret at learning that
the prince of Wales took part in a game
of baccarat at Tranby Croft. It adds,
"We respectfully submit to his royal
highness that by his conduct he has of
fended the religious sense of the people
and drags the royal house from the high
position in which it stood and tends to
lessen the loving and devoted affection
to the throne which has ever been cher

San Fbancisco, June 5. Yesterday's
dispatches in announcing that arms
taken from the Robert and Minnie had
been surrendered with the Itata were
explicit in stating that the property
turned over consisted of but 5000 rifles.
If this is true the Itata has managed to
dispose of just that many rifles and
2,500,000 cartridges as the number of
Remington's landed on Long wharf,
Oakland, was 10,000 instead of 500O.

! special ajjent of the land office, is invest!-
! gating several timber laud frauds alon
the northern coast and in several ot the
lower Oregon counties. Writing of his
work to this city he says that an im
mense amount of "timBer thieving" is
being done in Chehallis, Jelferson and
Clallam counties. There is in that sec
tion a considerable extent of unsurveyed
government land. The thieves do not
confine their operations to unoccupied
land, but invade land that has been
entered. The scheme of the wary logger
is to agree with the owner of a quarter
section to buy his stumpage. The
stum page is then legitimately removed
and the logger finds it easy to put a
heavy force across the boundary line on
the adjoining quarter and cut down an
immense amount of timber in a short
time, put it into booms and tow it to the
mill." An instance is noted in one of
the northern counties where 350,000 feet
of the finest kind of timber was appro
priated during the absence of the legiti
mate owner, and it was all done in one
week. Agent Hall repwts forty cases of
depredations.

Connettcut.
New Haven, Conn., June 3. The
state .supreme court today rendered its
decision on the suit of Fields vs. Osborne,
better known as the contested Branford
election case. The court is unanimous
in the opinion that the plaintiff was not
elected selectman of Branford and dis
misses his petition, which prayed that
he be declared elected. This decision is
of the greatest importance, as it practi
cally decides the disputed gubernatorial
controversy in favor of Morris, the dem--
ocratic candidate, and disproves the
claims of the man now acting in the
gubernatorial capacity, Bulkely. This
is the man Governor Hill, of iVew York,
refused to recognize, and Hill refused to
issue extradition papers when asked for
by Bulkely. The legal points at issue in
the case decided by the court todav were
the same as are involved in the guberna
torial dispute, and today's decision sus
tains the position taken by the democrats, j

Trouble Over an Imported Coachman.
New York, Jene 3. Francis Hawlett,
a 25-year-old Englibman, is detained at
the barge office, accused of coming here
under contract to work for ex-United
States Senator Eustis, of Louisiana.
Hawlett Bays that Eustis made a contract
with his father in Paris last year where
by the eon was to come to America and
work for him as head stableman. He
was also to act as horseman on the tally
ho. Hawlett sent word to his would-be
employer and received a message to the
effect that the ex-senator would be. at
the barge office in the morning and settle
matters, it was learned later that the
Eustis referred to was not the ex-senator,
but his nephew. It is understood
that he claims the right to bring the man
over under the exemption for domestic
servants.
The Wellington Coal Boycott.
8ah Francisco, June 3. The Duns
muirs are having some trouble in dis
posing of their coal. The strike in the
Wellington mines is practically over,
and they can produce as much coal now
as ever in the history of the mine. The
federated trades have taken a hand in
the fight in this city, however, and are
boycotting al who use Wellington coal.
All of the breweries have ceased using it,'
and many of the dealers will not handle
it. In consequence the Dunsmuirs' yard
is piled with coal. The steamer Well
ington is discharging into the yard.
Very little of the coal is being carted
away, wnile the Richard III. has onlv
Set been docked after lying for ten days

A MILLIONAIRE'S SUDDEN SUMMONS.
Death Came to Him at His OfHce In New
York City.
Charles Pratt, the millionaire oil mer
chant and philanthropist, who died sudden
ly in his office on Broadway, N'ew York, a
short time airo, w:ia probably the wealthiest
resident of Brooklyn, his foituno being es
timated at ?2U,0(0t(XK). He was a very gen
erous man and gave largely to the Emman
uel Baptist church, which he founded, and
to the Adelphi academy, of whose board of
trustees he was president. . He founded
and endowed the Pratt institute, :i manual
: .. : v. i r i. i . . ; i . .
cost him 1 ,500,000. His last business act
was to sign a check for $5,000 for the aid of
the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities.
Mr. Pratt was president of the Pratt
Manufac taring
company and vice
president of the
Standard Oil com
pany. He was
born in Wilbra
ham, Mass., Oct.
2,1830. His father
was a bard work
ing cabinet mak
er, who had all he
could do to bring
up his family of
ten children.
Young Pratt was
early thrown upon
his own revources.
CHARLES PRATT.
At the age of ten he went to work upon a
farm near Boston. Afterward he learned
the trade of a machinist, and earned enough
money to give him a year's tuition at the
Wilbraham academy. When nineteen he
entered the employ of an oil and paint firm
in Boston, and laid the foundation of his
commercial career. In 1850 he went to New
York and engaged in the same business.
Seven years later, after a remarkable meas
ure of success, he established the firm of
Charles Pratt & Co., which was Ebbse
qnently merged into the Standard Oil
company.
The Pratt institute is ooe of the great
educational enterprises of the country. It
combines the nest features of the Cooper
Union classes, the leading manual training
schools, cooking schools, art schools and
classes in domestic economy. Mr. Pratt
left a widow and eight children six sons
and two daughters.
Tmnt iil Turh-y in Wt Virginia- '
Camping along some stream, or occupy
ing a rude cabin with u hospitable native
yon have but to listen, just at dawn, to
hear the early calls of the turkeys, still on
their roosts. Then if you are not skillful
enough to either steal within gunshot or
call some proud gobbler, by well dissem
bled turkey call, uear enough to lay him
low, you have no business to be where
such sport awaits you. Brook trout ami
wild turkey iu combination are worth all
the trouble it takes to get where they are.
Snipe shooting is the earliest sport in the
line of gunning the ountry has, except
the shooting of wild fowl on their flight
from the southern feeding places, and that
has come to lie bnt4ittle better than fugi
tive sport nowadays. Euglish snipe are
easily next to woodcock in wariness and
capriciousoess of fli ght, and being well dis
tributed over thecouutry, wherever marshy
or boggy land provides them with a field
for sustenance, shooting them is a popular
port. These birds begin their flight north
ward in March and sometimes earlier, and
a hunter with a good gun and, equally im
portant, a good dog finds snipe shooting in
April and May a particularly enlivening:
sport. But all early spring outdoor sport
are so much at the caprice of the weather
at that changeable and uncertain time of
year that their popularity must necessarily
depend more on the ability of the sports
man to withstand discomfort and fre
quently hardship than it does on the ex
citement of the sport itself.
The Priceless Wine of Bremen.
It sounds like toe most monstrous exag
geration to say that a wine exists of which
a single glass is worth $500,000, yet that is
the fabulous value at which the ancient
Radesheimer of Bremen is appraised. Only
one large cask of this precious beverage,
which dates from 1658, remains.' It is never
sold, but on presentation of a doctor's cer
tificate the sick of Bremen are allowed a
small quantity. Three persons only have
been honored by gifts of tiny bottles of the
rare bererage Emperor William I, his son
Frederick and Prince Bismarck. The
wine resembles dark beer in color, while
the taste is hard and the aroma peculiar.
