Court Notes.

In Department One of the Superior
Courr yesterday morning, the case OF NJ
Zeller, charged with murder in shooting
Henry Harris, was taken up on motion
of the District Attorney to have the de-
PENDANT remanded to the custody Of the
Sheriff without bail. The motion was
argued by C. T. Jones for the people, and
Grove /. Johnson for the defendant.
Judge Van Fleet stated that he had read
the evidence taken at the preliminary ex-
animation in the Police Court, and was
satisfied that it was not a case warranung
the Court holding the defendant without
bail, as it was scarcely probable that con-
viction for more than murderi in the second
degree would be obtained. He thought,
however, that the bail fixed by the Police
Judge Isl 500 was not commensurate with
the gravity of the charge, and he therefore
increased it to $4,000, saying, however
that the increase was not because OF fear
that the defendant would fail to appear
for trial, but as q matter of precedent.
The additional bail has been given.
The Court then entered upon hearing
of the matter Of the guardianship of Mrs.
E. Bryte. which came up on the application
OF Mrs. Annie L. Peterson, her daughter,
TO have guardian appointed, setting forth
that Mrs Bryte was mentally incompetent
to manage the large estate of which she
has charge, and that her son, NJ. Bryte,
was exercising undue influence over her in
his own interest. The evidence of several
witnesses was taken to substantiate the
assertions made relative to Mrs. Bryte'S
competency. but the testimony did not run
that way. DR.. Cluness thought her to be
perfectly sane, though during the illness
she had passed through She was otherwise,
as is frequently the case with sick people
He thought her capable of transacting a
large amount Of business with good iudg-
ment. L. S. Carey also believed her to be
mentally competent. Mrs. Bryte was
placed upon the stand, and testified rela-
tive to her affairs intelligently and shrewd-
ly, but with some bitterness regarding Mr..
and Mrs. Peterson. At the conc usion of
her evidence, Clinton l.. White, represent
lDz Mrs Peterson. moved thaS The aDpica-
uon for a guardian DC dismissed, as the
evidence had not shown what they had
expected to be able to prove. Judge Van
Fleet granted the motion, stating that in
his opinion Mrs. Bryte was not only per
tectly sane, but was unusually well
possessed of her faculties for a person of
her age.
In Department Two the case of Miss r.
Smith VS.. S. K. Trelry, which has occupied
the attention Of the Court for several DAYS.
was argued and submitted. Judge Nc
Farland ordered judgment entered in favor
OF plaintiff for possession of the trotting
horse Dick Brown sued for.

The yYilcox-Winther Disnute.

For some time the Police Judge and CITY
Attorney have been greatly exercised and
annoyed by general family disturbance
and embryo riot between William Wilcox.
Mary Wilcox, Irene Whittier and Thomas
Wilcox. 1t seems that Mary and William
entered into the marital relation in Febru-
airy last, whereupon she assumed the con-
troll OF his home and family by a former
wife. Their home was at Twenty seventh
and y streets, and was owned by William
PRIOR to his last marriage. The connubial
tehcltleS did not last long, and Mary sought
to secure future home by filing a declara-
ton OF homestead upon Williams house.
Then came an action for divorce by William
against Mary. The casus belli was the
possession of the house. On the 10th of
october there was picket skirmish, when
Mary invoked the aid of the police and had
William and young woman named Irene
Whittier arrested for disturbing her peace.
and she was herself arrested on her hus-
bands complaint. An armistice under
white flag was declared until October 18th.
when hostilities were again opened. Viii
ham was reinforced by his brother Thomas,
Miss Whittier and Mrs. Isaacs, and moved
upon Mary works with boards, hammers
ana mans with the purpose of barricading
the citadel, from which Wilcox
had already removed the furniture
and bedding. Mary met Miss Irene the
advance guard, with Amazonian bravery,
and the battle began. Mary clutched
lrenes hair, and Irene countered by grab
bling what she supposed was a firm hold
upon the torelock, but which only proved

ate the combatants. Again was the strong
arm Of the law invoked, and charges and
counter charges were made and all the
cases were called for trial at once Albert
Johnson appeared for the Wilcox Whittier
faction, while J. \. Young championed
the cause of Mary Wilcox. and the CITY
Attorney conducted the whole case with a
view of giving ali hands an impartial trial,
but at the same time with leaning towards
a conviction of the entire party The
principal object of the private counsel in
these cases seemed to be the securing of
testimony for the divorce case, and to that
end they were disappointed, as the Courts
rulings shut out all this line of testimony
There is a strong feeling of dislike between
the wife, Mary, and Irene whom the
former seems to think has usurped her
place in the affections of her liege lord.
The trial took place on Tuesday, and the
matter was held under adyisement until
yesterday, when Judge Henry rendered his
decision, discharging all the defendants in
the disturbance of the peace cases, while as
regarded the battery he pronounced VIM
Wilcox and Miss Irene guilty. There was
considerable doubt as to the part Thomas
Wilcox took in the matter, and the Judge
discharged him. The parties convicted
will receive sentence On the 11th inst.

One Store, but Many Merchants.

An argument that is sometimes used
against houses carrying a general assortment
OF goods, usually termed g" Department
Houses" is, they cannot give that careful at
tention to special lines Of goods that merchants
do who handle but one kind of merchandise,
and who devote all their energy to that one
speciality.
The point is we'll taken, and the argu-
1nent holds good against such general houses
as conduct business in pell-mell heller SHELTER
fashion, whose methods or rather lack of
Methods give the management a smattering
knowledge of many branches of business but
thorough knowledge of none. 1t is law of
Nature that man can do but one thing at a
time and do it we'll.
Our own business experience verihes this.
We learned years ago that it is not only a
physical but also a mental impossibility, for
one or TWO persons to attempt to do per
fectly the work OF a dozen or more. The dis
covery of this fact led to our present perfected
organization, and thus it is that here the gen
eral business of the house is divided, as it were,
into so many smaller businesses.
Each of these separate branches is in
charge OF specially trained and thoroughly
competent Department Head, whose entire
time, energy and ability is given to the deve-
opnlent Of his especial line of business, and
whose prosperity depends on the success with
which this is done.
In other words, these Department people
are SO many wide-awake individual merchants
and their trade is served with as much and
more ability than the trade of speciality houses.
Ne Say aOlH " mere ability" because 0zr be0-

which gives force, power and completeness
to our organization that no single business can
expect to equal
Indeed, to this fact is due very much of
the broad and permanent success OF our gen
eral business

The Penologv Commission.

State Prison Director Devlin In an inter
view with a representative ofthe San Fran
cisco Post yesterday, said, in reference to
the Penology Commission; No, we have
done nothing more than to formally organ
ize But we have good deal of work to
do. For example, we'll have to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing n State
Retormatory for youthful criminals. If we
agree upon the feasibility of that plan. we
Will choose site for the institution. and
then prepare law to put the idea into
practical effect. Then there is the scheme
of parole punishment, whereby. after GER
tain classes of criminals have been confined
for a certain time, they may be released
upon proper recommendation. for the
remainder of their term. They shall be
required to make monthly or weekly
reports to the County Clerk of the
county i'll which they may reside.
and if their conduct may be found
satisfactory, they will not be molested.
If, however, their actions and habits are
not in the direction that gives hope of re-
form, the criminal will be reincarcerated
Of course, these things are only some of
what the Commission will be called upon
to consider. Then there is the matter of
discharged convicts. We will consider
whether IL Is not Tor the best interests OF
society for the State to enable her dis
charged prisoners to earn a living, instead
Of as now, turning them out with only a
prison suit and five dollars in money. Per-
haps it may be found advisable to put
them at some public work, at, say, dollar
a day. We will probably delegate mem
Der of the Commission to go East and
gather data on which we may base our rec
concentrations. The delegate would visit
all the model prisons of the older States
and consider the plans in vogue there. In
this way we hope to be able to submit a
general system of prison discipline which
will be an improvement on our present
