this. A person loses all fear Of tri-

about cleanliness in cooking, besides,
this method of eating does away with

Ma, berry was awarded letters Of guardian
ship by the Probate Court of San Francis
co.
Mr.. Wing made two unsuccessful at
,empts to regain possession OF the child
the matter being tried successfully in the
Supreme Court Of this State, and, upon a
question Of hab,as corpus, in the United
States District Court. The counsel for the
defense argued that upon these occasions
the case was tried upon it, merits alone,
and that the DEGREES Of the court in Mr..
Ma,berr,y's favor, virtually affirmed the va
lid,v Of The papers Of guardianship. and al
so made Il strong point OF the allegations Of
cruelty on the part Of the husband, con-
tanned in the divorce record.
The opposing counsel contended that
these allegations could not be taken Tito
consideration, as a certain Maine law gives
u Judge Of Probate, sitting in chambers
without jury, discretionary powers in
case where the good Of society demands a
separation OF husband and wife, and that
the fact Of the custody Of the child being
awarded to the father, and the Judges
sworn affidavit that Mr.. Wing was a prop.
er person to have the custody of the child
were strong evidences Of rcbut,al. lie
claimed that the reason for the failure in
the higher courts to which the case had
been carried, was on account Of the exist
crce Of these very papers, for the revoca-
ton Of which they now ask.
The Judge remarked that case OF this
nature had lately been tried before the Su.
rr me Court Of the United States. and sug
scsted that the child must have had legal
doin;cile somew here at the time the letters
Of guardianship were issued in California,
and that it would appear from the evidence
sho xn that that domicile was with his faith.
er. He questioned whether, II it were
,, proper to grant letters OF guardianship TO a
stranger over the person Of child when
he was shown to have no legal guardian ir
the State, the same proceedings might moi
be repeated in every State. He believed
however, that an important question to bt
considered was as to whether the decree q
the Supreme Court of this State affirmed
the LEGALITY Of the letters Of guardianship
ard that was matter for argument. 1t wa
decided that the case should be subaaittct
on briefs. A number OF witnesses wer'
present to testify as to the good trcatmcn
and care Of the minor, but as the ques,io,
had not been raised the Judge excluded tn
