RELEASE OF PICKETT.

Our readers will remember that some
months since Charles L. Pickett, COM
monty called philosopher Pickett,
entered the Supreme Court Of California
and took 4 seat upon the Bench beside
the other judges, and asserted at the
time that he had as much right to occupy
his seat as Judge Crockett. For this
the Court imposed a fine and iInnrison-
ment. Now the Court has released
Pickett. and RENTED the upaid remain
der of his fine. on the representation OF
his attorney that he had no intention OF
bringing the Court into contempt. and
that certain CALCULATIONS used by him
were applied TO the spectators. and not
to the Court. The Sacramento Record
Union, commenting upon this case.
says:
This is peculiar termination 10 Pc
culiar case. Ii will probably occur to
many persons that if the penalty award
ed by the Court was in the first instance
justified by the otfense. then the reason
alleged for the release OF the prisoner
is nbsurily inadequate; while il the rea-
son held by the Court us justifyIng his
release is sufficient, then the original
sentence was outrageously severe. In
short, Pickett has been Imprisoned
either too long or not long enough. The
grounds given for his discharge are
ridiculous upon their face, and merely
suggt st that the Court had become ex-
csedingly tired of maintaining Its own
dignity But this ought not to end the
case, and it must be the work of the
press to see that it does not do SO.
Pickett's imprisonment has shown that
the power of inficting punisbments for
contempt heretofore accorded the Courts
is liable to grave abufe. and that when
this abuse is committee by the Supreme
Court tine rights of citizenship may be
to all in:ents and purposes completely
ignored, and cruel and unusual penalties
inflicted. II, as seems probable at this
time. the people should decide upon
amending the State Constitution. this
will form enc of the questions to be
submitted to the Constitutional Conven-
ton. and in its possible consequences it
il not one of the least importance.

a strange and fatal disease has recently

Mr.. Crane says that upon cutting off an

Preventing Water Pipes from
BHystinl.

The following plan for the prevention
OF the bnrsting OF water pipes during
frosty weather has been invented ia
England. 1t is well known that when
water freezes it expan IS. and that the
force exer,ed is so enormous that no pipe
can resist it. This invention Is intended
to give the water chance 10 expand
without bursting the pipe. 1t attempts
this by securing in the inside Of The
metal pipe 4 space equal to the difference
of volume between water and ice. SO
that when the wafer freezes il occupies
The space reserved lor II, instead ot
exerting its force on the pipe and burst
ing it. This is practically carried out
by passing through the water pipe
small India rubber tube, specially made
for The purpose, and OF such diameter
that the spece inside il is little more
than equal to the increase in volume oil
the ice. The India rubber tube is kept
full OF air, so that when the water freezes
it finds The necessary space for expansion
for by com pressing the air tube it dis
places the air and takes its place. When
the ice melts the tube again expands,
becomes filed with air, and is ready for
another frost. and so on TOR any number
OF times without requiring attention.

Biz Salaries.

Talking OF saleries in the learned pro-

of great actors in our day will about
equal those of great lawyers Edwin Booth
has made as high as $1,000 a month,
Jefferson has made even more. This
year, in season OF forty weeks, Clara
Morris will net about sc. 900; Charlotte
Thompson about halt as much. Bourei-
cault, combining his royalty as dramatist
and his percentage as star actor, is
making $4,000 week at Wallack's

but only few even Of these. make in
comes comparable 10 those made by
great lawyers and great actors. Mott.
Parker, Clarke. have made as high as

in comparison with those professions the
diyines and editors make but paltry CON-
pensation. Ten thousand dollars 8

Messrs. Beecher and Chaplin are the only
digines whose income reaches beyond

makes the largest income. His average
price is $3.50 lecture Oh these he will
in year deliver about one hundred.
