The San Diego Cal, county grand
jury charge Douglass Gum, the
mayor of the city, with being drunk
for several weeks, and call upon him
to resign. They doubtless overstate
the facts. Gunn is an example of how
prosperity hurts a man. HeTan the
Union from '6S till sc and many a
time after paying the compositors on
a Saturday night, didn't have $3.50
left. He was the only newspaper
man in that county that had the nerve
to take dispatches or get out any
thing like a newspaper, In sc he
sold the Union at the height of the
boom, for $4,000, and since then has
been troubled with a surplus in the
treasury.

THE legality OF several timber
claims is now in question before the
Seattle land office in the case of the
United States VS.. Russell A Alger, and
others, involving the title to twelve
quarter sections of alleged timber
land in Whatcom county. The land
was taken up in 1888 and transferred
to Messrs. Alger and Hawley, who
paid five dollars per acre and agreed
TO pay seven more when a patent was
received from the United States"
The entries have been held for can
collation. on the report of a special
agent who claims the land to be ag-
ricultural. Much of the land in west
ern Washington taken under the
timber land act is doubtless adapted
to agriculture and if the cases
of the government against Gov.
Alger ct al establishes the
fact that such land is not
subject to entry under the timber
land innumerable contests will prob
ably follow. The case has now been
running eight weeks and is probably
not over half through.

the contract. At one period it was tbs
custom to wear nuptial rings Of brass or
copper, bearing inscriptions and devices
sucn as the figure Of g key to signify the
wlfe's domestic authority, while Others
were inscribed with such sentiments sc
May you live long, ," 81 bring good fortune
to the wearsr," 'Remembsr.n "Iivs
happy" or 81 give this love pledge.n Some
had two right hands joined, and some were
cut In cameo.
In Iceland large ring was used for the
ratlncation OF all engagements. It was
vaTiously formed Of bone, jet. stone, gold
ana silver. Sometimes it was so wide as
TO allow the palm Of the hand to be passed
through 1t. In the solemnization of a be-
trothal the bridegroom passed four fingers
ana his palm through one Of these rings,
and In this manner he received the hand Of
the bride.
AT one time it was the cust1m in Italy to
use betrothal rings Of silver, inlaid with
nielio. Some OF these were Of Ia ge size
and were worn by men. The diamond was
long the favorite stone for setting ia
espousal rings, and it was called "pretra
della reconclliazione." becsuss of its sup
posed power to maintain concord between
husband and wife. A general impression
prevails among the Irish peasantry that
not legal. 1t is said that in a certain town of
Ireland person Kept several q Id wedding
rings for hire, and when par les who were
TOO poor to purchase a ring of the neces-
sary precious metal were about TO be
married they obtained the loan of one, and
paid small fee for the same, the ring be-
ing returned to the owner Immediately
after the ceremony. In some places in IRE
land 1t Is common for she ri & to be used
FOR many marriage ceremonies, the ring re-
naming in the eostody of the priest.
Among the Irish fishermen the wedding
Rugs areo the old ella ped-bands pat erns,
and are heiriooms in the family. They are
regularly transferred from the mothers to
tue daughters who are first married. and
from them the rings pass to their descend
ants. Many Of the nuptial rings still
worn on the western coast of Ireland are
very old, and show trsces Of still older de-
sign.

wedding or Marbln LuIueT anu OaIn0iA AUG
Won Bora two silver-giit rings were made.
The former is preserved Ia Saxony, ana tne
latter is now in Paris.
According to the old Jewish law the Off
Glazing rabbi at a wedding received from
the bridegroom a gold ring of certain
value, which he s owed to some OF the COM
pany to examine if il were genuine, and II
so be and the chief officers of the syn lgogue
certified the fact. When this was done the
ring was returned to the bridegr oom, VINO
placed it upon the brides second lger, at
the same time proclaimlng tnat sne
was by means of it consecrated unto
him. Jewish wedding rings are
sometimes large and elaborate workman
ship, and have generally engraved upon
them in Hebrew characters sentiment
conveying an expression Of good WISHES,
and very often the words "Joy be with
you" Few Jewish rings now exist earlier
than of the sixteenth century. One OF the
finest specimens was the property OF the
late Lord Londesborough. 1t was OF gold,
richly enameled, and decorated with beauti-
fully wrought filigree.
Among the modern Greeks two rings are
used at the wedding ceremony--one OF gold
and the other silver-both of which are IN
terchanged several times between the par
ties. The rings are placed upon the altar
and dedicated and consecrated by The priest,
who gives the gold ring to the bridegroom
and the silver ring to the bride, repeating
three times: "The servant of God amlng
the husband espouses the handmade Of God
(naming the wife," He then turns to the
woman and thrice repeats the same form,
changed. according to circumstances. The
rings are put on the right hand finger OF
both parties, taken Off and interchanged by
the bridegroom's man, in order, as it has
been said, that the woman might not feel
too deeply her inferiority, which the less
costly material of her ring seemed to
hint at.
Iron rings set with adamants were used
by the early Romans, the hardness and
durability of both materials being intended
10 signify the endurance and perpetuity OF

part of character, that harmonlously
painted scenery is always an advantage
to thc actors, but | think the danger
lies in the destroying of the proper rela-
tionship between the scenery and stage
mounting and the acting. The latter
is essential, all else is subordinate.
Nowadays | am afraid there is a tend
ency to sacrifice the actor to his sur
r~oundings; he is merely used as a foil
TO beautiful scenery or as a lay figure
on which lovely costumes can be ex-
hibited, and | was o Il little afraid
that when we appeared with our COM
monplace stage settings our audiences
would find something lacking. They
might be pleased with our acting, but
they would demand something in addi-
ton. Luckily found my fears chimer-
ical, and l feel and my comrades feel
that such ecomiums as we have earned
nave been bestowed on us as actors, and
we value thcm us such more highly
than any poor words of mine will eX-
press.
