He Left a Fortune in California to Become Klch ia Booth Africa. Another strauge discovery baa coma to light In the Hibernla Hank depoaitw that have been neglected for many years by their owners. It appears that Jeremiah Penderguat, long mourned as dead. Is alive and prosperous In Bouth Africa, where he has made a fortune. It Is learned that he ban apparently for gotten that 1 12,000 await him In the Hi bernla Rank of San Francisco. The hlntory vf Pendergasfs deposit Is one of the moat interesting of all the old estates that have lain unclaimed for years In the vaults of Ban Franciaco banks. In the first place it now amounts to $12,000. tKltif the largest sum of all the unclaimed deposits; and, In the next place. It has perhaps been more widely advertised and more g"iierally claimed than any other sum In the list. Strange ly, however, nearly all the Pendeiyasta fc.ive the nl owner seem to have heard or this money and laid claim to It, while the original depositor has lived quietly lu South Africa all thine years, heedless of the fact that his gold lies In the bonk awaiting the owner's orders. Attorney Osinr T. Shuck has Just located the original Jeremiah PendergaHt In the Congo Free State, where the old man lives In great luxury, having amassed a large fortune since he went there aa one of the pioneer of nearly twenty years ago. "Pendergaat went to South Africa In 1S7K," said Attorney Shuck, "being one of the leaders of a California colony. He left a good sum In the bank here, since which time uo one has ever heard of him until I got word that be was well and rich. The nearest trace we ever got of bliu here was that he was at the old Empire Hotel on Pacific street soinf time between lKtWand 1870. Hundreds of alleged helm have leen after the ro tate, but It will no doubt, soon reach the original depositor." A strange fact about the case Ih H at the public administrator recently peti tioned for letters of administration, al leging In a general way that IVuder gast died some years ago In Nevada. Judge Slack went so far as to appoint Atorney J. J. Dwyer to represent the alweiit heirs, but Attorney Shuck sug gested rbnt Pendergaat still lived, whereupon the letters of administration were withheld. It Is quite probable that the claimants were really Induced to believe that thHr ancestor died In Nevada, where nn old miner named Pendergast ex pired In a fire that destroyed his cabin and himself at midnight In a mountain fiisrnrtw. They will soon learn, bow ever, that the true Jeremiah Pender gast, who left a few thousand dollara In the Hibernla Hunk In 1W3S, went to Bouth Africa with only a little money, and Is now griwsled with age, but gilded with gold alo. The real heirs to this strange pioneer lived In Massachusetts. The bunkers and attorneys, as well as the public administrator, are won dering why the pioneer of '49 deserted Inn gold here, even to become a pioneer In the African gold fields. At any rate, the money Is safe. The distribution of a living man's funds has been prevent ed, and $12,000 now awaits the owner's orderSan Francisco Chronicle. Sorry He Spoke. A trnm car was proceeding down one of our busy thoroughfares the other Sunday and was already com fortably full, when It was balled by a laboring man considerably the woriw for liquor, who presently staggered along the car, between two rows of well-dressed people, regardless alike of pollKhed shoes and tender feet. Murmurs and complaints arose on all sides, and demands were beard that the offender should be summarily ejected. Hut amid the storm of abirw one friendly voice was raised, as a benevolent clergy msn rose from his seat, saying: "No, no; let the man sit down and be quiet." The discomfiture of the party turned to mirth when the luobrlate one seized his benefactor by the hand, exclaim ing: "Thank ye, sir, thank ye. I see you know what It la to bp drunk!" Outs of It. PRESIDENT FOR A DAY. Caique Distinction of a Man Now Almost Forgotten, C rover Cleveland to-day is know n aa the twenty-third President of the Uul ted States. He was lu his first term the twenty-first President, so it would seem that the chair of the chief execu tive has been occupied by only twenty two men. This 1 what general history says. There have been twenty-three men In the office of President, and one of them wore the honor for only one day. Ilia name Is completely forgotten now. March 4, lx4!t, came on Sunday, a day that the constitution does not recognize as legal In the transaction of such offi cial business as administering the oath of office. On that day at noon, Presi dent Polk's term of otlice ended, and President-elect Zachiiry Taylor could not take his place, or at least did not think he could. The pmsjiect of the country lielng without an otticlal bend for the twenty-four hours or there be ing doubt nlxmt who would be the head, created discussion in Congress aud in the press. When On. Tnylor arrived In Wash ington a few days before his Inaugura tion, he was besought to take the oath of ollice on Sunday so as to prevent con fusion and what some persons believed to be danger. It was lu the hot days of the "Free Boiler" and "Hum Storm ers" and the storm of slavery was brew ing. Ihirliig Saturday and Saturday night then; were a half dozen fights In Congress. The capltol was a camp of violence, but (leu. Taylor held out that he would not become President on Sun day. Imvld H. Atchison, of Missouri, wns president pro tempore of the Seriate, and It wns held by Congress that the functions of President must devolve upon him from Sunday noon till Mon day noon, and for these twenty-four hours he has had the distinction of be ing President of the I'nlted States, hav ing nil the functions and powers of that ,!!;. The oath of the ollice was not administered to him, for the same rea son that it was not immediately ad ministered to Ceil. Taylor; but he, be ing virtually Vice President, it was not considered necessary. That President Atchison considered himself President there can be no doubt, for on Monday morning, when the Semite reassembled, he sent to the White House for the seal of the great ollice, and signed one or two olliclnl papers as President. These were some small acts in connection with the In auguration that had been neglected by President Polk. Hut there was much fun and good natured badinage Indulged In among Atchison's friends and himself during his short presidential term. He was n Democrat, while the President-elect was n Whig. A majority of the Senate was Penioerntle, and his friends jok ingly proposed to Ii I tn to usurp the ollice by calling the army to his back and preventing "old Ironsides" from be ing sworn In. If any such thing had been seriously contemplated (!en. Tnv Ior was too much the Idol of the army to let 11: be successful. Hnn (Jen. Taylor been nn unpopular man and had Atchison had the cha me ter and ambition of a dictator, with a friendly army, Congress and timid Su preme Court, President Atchison's name would probably not have been so soon forgotten and the constitutional day of Inaugurating the President of the United States would have been changed so that It would never again fall on Sunday. According to nn almanac maker of the time, the next Inauguration to fall on Sunday will be March 4, liilM. and just, a century from the date of Presi dent Atchison's term of office there will be another Sunday March 4, and following this will be March 4, 1!T7. (rover Cleveland was but inaugurated on S.itnnbiy. The century gains n whole day from the lenp year scraps left over. This day Is added to the last year, lDiifl. If this (nlculatin Is correct the constitutional day of Inauguration Is not changed, the twentieth century may have three "one day only" Presi dents. New York Press. Terrors of a Crowd. Apropos of the tragedy, In Itself bar baric, caused by the struggle! of a vast unwieldly crowd, that concluded the barbaric splendors of the Moscow cor onation, James Payn says: "No one who has not experienced something of Its power can Judge of the horrors of pressure freed from scientific control. What holocausts would have been made of the crowds that pressed to see the executions before Newgate In' old times but for the barriers that were erected to stern the human cur rent! At the fete In the Champ do Mars In Paris In 1K27, numbers of peo ple lost their lives stundlng, and were carried about hither and thither In the crowd all night, side by side with their living, companions." Holdters Have a Klght to Vot. In some of the Kuropenn countries the line between the soldier and the citizen Is very hnrply drawn, the former not liclng allowed nny of the rights or privileges of citizenship. In our own land of freedom a citizen Is none the less so from the fact that he Is serving his country In the army. Any soldier, on complying with the registra tion laws and In other ways fulfilling legal requirements, has the same right to vote as though he were following the business by which he made his living before he enlisted. Very Consoling. The festivities at the coming of age of the present Ixird Hopetoun Included a service at the pariah church, which was filled with members of the great Hope family and also with members of the Hope elan. The feelings of the con gregation thus composed can be Im agined when the minister began his discourse with the words: "My breth ren, the world Is full of blasted hopes." ALMOST CERTAIN DEATH. The Conner in the Tower Will lie In I Great Danger. In that coming naval battle between the steel fleets of two first-class powers, to which nautical authorities have been looking forward ever since modern bat tleships became the mighty engines of problematical forces that they are, the military mast and fighting top will play a deadly part and be the etation of dan ger and heroism. As everybody knows, the old mast, the mast of yards and sails, has van ished from the modern ship of war. The Newark Is the only modern tdilp la the United States navy which has sail carrying niastn. The place of the mast that was erected for sail-carrying pur poses is taken on the modern warship by a steel tower, which rises from the deck to support one or mayle three or four circular galleries, where rapid fire or machine guns are placed, which, lu time of action, pour their hail of bullets at the decks and ports of the hostile eliip. The object Is to kill the gunners, for It Is self-evident that the most powerful gun Is powerless if Its crew is dead. Take the twenty rapid-fire guns distrib uted along the superstructure of tie' Indiana. From a fighting top such a storm of lead could lie driven upon these great gun as would nuilie It im possible for men to work thevi.

A. one well-directed shut will :;i r 1 the ninst tumbling, It is not probable that any h: will come out of an en gagement with lis military mast stand ing. The shooting away of the ma:U will, of course, mean the death of every man in the lighting tops. Men sent there will know as they climb the dark ladder to their stations that they go to almost certain death, and will have only one duty before Ihi-iii, to kill as many of the enemy irf; they can before the crush conies. Men who In turrets and sponsous below are handling the great guns have every hope of life and victory before them, but the men In the tops go to their duty wllh no such hopes and ex pectations. To man the fighting tops, in action will be a kind of martyrdom especially hard to endure. To perform deeito of valor In the face of contending armies or to sulfer with fortitude in the gaze of admiring thou sands Is one thing; to climb up calmly inside a steel post and work away at such an unpoctieal mechanical device as a rapid-fire or machine gun until such time as it may please the enemy to blow one Into "kingdom come" Is quite an other thing. Yet the modern nian-of-warsman In enthusiastic over the advantages of the military mast, and would obey an order to man a gun In the fighting top as read ily as be would the bugleciill which sum mons him to his meals.
