'EMPEROR OF U. S.'
DIED POOR IN 1880
Self-Appointed King Lost His
Mind When Rice "Cor
ner" Failed
(Jne of the best-kiTown eccentrics
of early California was Joshua Nor
ton, an- English Jew, who came to
San Francisco in 1847 or iB4B. For
many years he was a successful
merchant in that city, and at one
time was buying partner for three
or four mercantile houses in the
interior of the state, and was look
ed uporr as a man of exceptional
business ability.
Nortin went to smash in an en
deavor to "corner" rice, which in
tne early days was a favorite staple
with those who wished to get rich
quick. He bought up all the rice
obtainable in San - Francisco, then
sent abroad for more. Whenr the
latter arrived he could not pay for
the shipment and a law suit was the
result. During the progress of the
trial he suddenly went insane.
As he was never violent or noisy
he was allowed to go at large. He
developed magnificent ideas of bein-g
the "Emperor of California and Pro
tector of Mexico." After losing his
mind his sole purpose in life was to
see that his "subjects" were well
and kindly ruled and that his do
main was in a prosperous condition.
He even- offered to marry the daugh
ter of the man who had shipped him
the rice, and make her co-ruler of
the state, her title to be "Empress of
California."
-- Settled War of 1870
He held a high opinion of the au- I
thority vested in him by reason of |
his self-appointment to high places,
and proudly claimed to have been
the man who settled the differences
between France and Germany in
1870; also to have been instrumental
in bringing about peace in the war
between the North and the South.
At intervals he bestowed some high
sounding title upon himself, or
gravely accepted some mythical hon
or. At one time he claimed to be
the crown prince of the throne of
France.
He lived in San Francisco, which
city be picturesquely termed the
"Queen of the Pacific." At various
times he took trips over the state,
which were always free, as every one
humored the harmless old man. He
invariably went to Sacramento on
legislative winters and knew every
one from the senators to the pages.
He always carried a number of
checks belonging to different banks
and, when- in need of money, gravely
wrote out a check and presented it
to some accommodating friend, who
would cash it for him. Besides this,
many of the San Francisco Jews
took care of him. When he felt in
the mood to issue a proclamation
to his subjects he repaired to the
office of a local paper arrd the
obliging editor published it.
In Trouble Only Once
Only once in his long career did
the erhporor get into trouble, and
that was in January, 1867, when
some one had him arrested for lar
ceny and he suffered the ignominy
of spending the night in jail.
He appeared in court the next
morning wrapped in a mantle of dig
nity, and received the apologies of
the presiding judge, who happened
to know him. He seemed to feel
only contempt for his accuser. He
received his discharge immediately
and was returned a small sum of
money and several small articles
taken from his pockets. He signed
the police register; "Norton, em
peror of the United States and pro
tector of Mexico." Having complet
ed this formality he departed in
company with his Chinese servant,
upon whom he had bestowed the
title of "Grand Chamberlain of the
Palace."
He died in San Francisco, the city
he loved so well, January 8, 1880.
He dropped on the street and never,
regained consciousness.—Los Ange
les Times.
THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS
Professor Frank Smith, of the de
partment of zoology in thj! Fniver
sity of Illinois, is quite right in this
that he says about the migration of
robins. "The sight of a robin does
not mean that spring has come. See
ing a flock of robins shows that there
has been a migration, but it does
not indicate an early or late spring,
because the robin has no way of tell
ing the present or future weather
conditions. The presence of migra
tory birds from farther south, as the
Gulf States, indicates weather con
ditions there, but not here. If there
is a snow storm after the robin's ar
rive, he may freeze and starve, for
he has not wit enough to fly south
again." He may freeze, but prob
ably he will not, because the robin
has great powers of resistance as
against spring; snowstorms. As a
matter of fact, birds migrate without
any regard to what the weather i 6
going to be. Their flight is a re
sponse to an impulse implanted in
them by millions of years of migra
tions. arwl this impulse takes them at
practically the same time every year.
The oriole, for example, is seldom
heard around Boston before the Bth
day of May; though individuals are
generally reported a few days earl
• ier, you and I, gentle reader, are not
likely to hear the orioles' whistle be
fore the morning of May 8, and then
we are perfectly sure to hear it If
we go out. The bird has a delicate
organism to respond so closely to the
date; it is a faculty bred into his
tissues ages ago.—Boston- Transcript.
BUTTER PRICE MAY REACH gl
A POUND IX SAX FRAXCISCO
] San Frnnelsco—Cold, hard statistics
were invok/d to show that butter 16
cents a pound wholesale higher than
last year will soar upward. One pound
for $1 is predicted.
It's all because of the shortage in
cold storage by half a million
pounds.
Butter for May this year averaged
57.25 cents. Last year the price was
41.11. In April it was 57 cents. In
1918, the April price was 39.92 cents.
About 1,000,000 pounds are held in
storage here, which is 500,000 pounds
less than normal, experts say.
Most of the butter is held by big
consuming companies like hotels and
steamship lines.
CHINESE WHO SERVED
IN ARMY NATURALIZED
San Francisco —Frank Tow Lee,
who was born in China, but who serv
ed overseas with the United States
Army, became an American citizen
under the new naturalization laws
that provide for the naturalization of
any member of the military or naval
fwrces of the country. He came to
this country twelve years ago. In
April. 1918, he joined the army and
went overseas with the 246 th Field
Artillery. His character was vouch
ed for by the Rev. Thomas Edwards.

Daring Marietta Aviator, I
Dies at Philadelphia!
Marietta, Pa., June 17.—0n Satur
day afternoon the body of
Haldeman Figyelmeesy, who dld in
a hospital at Philadelphia trom the
effects of a hemorrhage of the brain,
was brought to Marietta and burial
made in the Figyelmessy plot tn the
Marietta Cemetery.
Mr. Figyelmessy was a son of the
late Colonel Philip and Emma
Haldeman Figyelmessy, and was
born in Marietta. He was about
forty-two years old and the last of
the family. From early boyhood
he was always of a daring and cour
ageous disposition, and many resi
dents will recall the time when his
brother was drowned while bathing
in the Susquehanna river, and the
subject of this sketch was saved
by Dr. George R. Reich. Young
Figyelmessy and Harold Mowery
scaled the face of Chtckies Rock a
number of years ago, which was a
most dangerous task, and which
"trick" has not eince been accom
plished.
Mr. Figyelmessy was a graduate
of the Boston Institute of Technol
ogy. He had a number of narrow
escapes from being killed while
learning aviation, and during the
war was in foreign service. Several
years ago he was so bady injured
when his airplane fell at the Allen
town fair that he was unconscious
for a long time.

| increase strength, endurance, vitality
and greatly improve their health by
building up their nerves and enrich
ing their blood. Unquestionably one
of the best things for this purpose is
the great French discovery known
among our druggists as Blood-Iron
Phosphate. People who have tried it
say that one live-grain tablet taken
with each meal quickly restores de
pleted nervous energy, enriches the
blood, increases strength, vitality and
endurance, and those who are too thin
usually put on pounds of solid stay
there flesh in a short time. Inasmuch
as Geo. A. Gorgas and all other drug
gists are authorized to sell Blood-
Iron Phosphate under a guarantee of
satisfaction or money back, every
thin, weak, nervous or anemic man
or woman should give it a trial with
out delav.
