ALecture ON Dress.

J.ns Angeles will be visited by Annie
Jenness Miller, of New York, who will
deliver lecture upon dress. Mrs. Mil
ler is reformer. She has developed
some startling and original ideas upon
dress, where she illustrates that one can
be fashionable, graceful and artistic in
dress, and also comfortable. She brings
with her large wardrobe and illustrates
her lecture with a change of dress every
ten minutes. She is sparkling and witty.
Possessing lovely form and a beautiful
face, she is a picture in every Co.'S
tune. The gowns are 30 attrac-
tive one cannot fail to be charmed
with them, and Jenness Miller gowns
will now be the rage among our Los An
geles ladies. The last half hour of the
lecture the gentlemen must retire. Then
Mrs. Miller enters in long plush cloak
which, being removed, discloses this
charming and beautiful woman in the
most picturesque and beautiful under
clothing. The different garments are ex-
hioited, made of white Chinese silk or
black surah, and are all OF the most COM
Portable cut and style.

Several of those who had placed appli-
cations for places on the force on file
asked to have them returned. This re-
quest was granted. Officer Peter Reel,
who is to 60 into the Sherif's office, sent
in a resignation, which was accepted,
and J. L. Conley was appointed in his
stead.
The Commission then adjourned until
this afternoon.
Several friends of disappointed candi-
dates came into the office, aud found
fault with the Commissioners for their
alleged neglect of the best interest of the
city. One man had lively round with
Major Furrey, assuring him that he
knew that the reason why Dorsey had
been left off was that he was an honest
man and church member.

THE BUNCo CASE.
The Prosecution Finishes Its Case
Motions Made.


Motions Made.
The famous bunco case, In which
Messrs. Rose Hood and White are under
going examination on the charge OF con
spiracy to defraud Judge Haskins, oi
New York, moved along little farther
Yesterday. 1t will probably come to an
end tomorrow.
Detective Russell, who assisted in the
capture of Rose and of White, was placed
upon the stand, and narrated the circum-
stances in which he was concerned. The
proprietorship which Rose had in the
room where the layout was found, was
established more clearly by the declara-
tion which the latter made to Russell on
the occasion of his arrest, to the effect
that the detectives had no business to
enter the room for it was his. Mr.. Rus
sell was severely cross-examined on this
point, but his testimony was not mater
tally altered.
Detective Metzler testified to some of
the circumstances of the arrest OF the
men. The principal part of his testi-
mony, however, was that OF an expert on
the subject of bunco. The complaint
CIldTR6b bu6 JIlI0o Lu0u Will OOh0PAAAhS
to defraud. As the evidence has shown
that the means employed was game OF
bunco, it became necessary to demons
trate the fact that the game OF
bunco was 80 arranged as to defraud any
one who played it except the banker or
his confederate. The layout was placed
upon the table, and the lawyers gathered
about Mr.. Metzler while he explained
how the game was run. A pack of num-
bered cards manipulated by the detect
ives fingers managed to do Mr..
Hardesty the District Attorney, who, fol
purposes of illustration, served as 8
sucker, out of all his money.
On the cross-examination an effort was
made by the defense to establish the
fact that, if played fairly, the game was
a percentage affair, like faro or roulette.
The detective persisted, however, in the
statement that the percentage was hope
lessly against the player, and that the
game was never played fairly.
Chief Of Police Burns was called to
narrate the conversation between him
self and White and the identification oi
the latter by Judge Haskins. As soon
as White was brought into the office he
had said to the Chief that there was q
mistake and he could prove an alibi.
When Judge Haskins came in he was
shown White, and he said 81 don u
think you have the right man." After
ward, when White had talked little,
the Judge declared that he recognized
him by his voice, and was positive that
he was the dealer of the game.
There was long discussion as to
whether Major Mitchell should
be allowed to ask the Chief about the
general instructions which his office re-
ceived about the matter of arresting sus-
picious characters.
Judge Haskins was recalled and asked
whether he had told Rose his name. He
answered that he had, and had told him
his place of residence.
This finished the case for the prosecu-
ton. Major Mitchell gave notice of a
motion to dismiss on behalf of White, to
be argued at such a time as the Court
should set. Mr.. Payton gave similar no.
tice for Rose and Hood. The Court ad-
journed until o'clock this morning.

THE JORDAN CLAIM.
Supreme Court Decision Relating to
Minor Heirs.

hhOaADs
In the important suit of George 81
Smith ct al. VS. M. V. Biscailiz and Vic
toria Jordan to quiet title to 250 acres oi
land in this city, the defendants claimed
that the interests of Victoria Jordan in
her fathers estate had never been leg.
ally sold, and consequently belonged to
her when she came of age; and this
claim was sustained by the Superior
Court of this county.
The points upon which the guardi ans
sale was attacked were as follows:
First. That the order of the Probate
Court, appointing the guardian of Vic
toria Jordan, was void for want of notice.
Second. That the petition for the sale
of the lands of the minor was insufficient
to give the court ordering the sale juris-
diction to do so.
Third. That the additional bond re-
quired by the statute on the sale of real
estate was not filed until after the con-
firmation of the sale.
Fourth. That the inventory and ap-
praisement of the wards estate ordered
by the court was not filed until after the
confirmation of the sale of the ward Is
real estate, and that the description OF
the land was insufficient as contained in
the inventory.
The Supreme Court decides these sew
eral points as follows:
First. As the mother of the minor
who had the care of the child, appeared
in court and petitioned to have its uncle
Joseph Jordan appointed guardian, and
as the child's cousins, Joseph Jordan
and Anton Jordan, the only other rela-
tives residing in the county, filed with
the court their written consent to the
appointment, to have given further and
formal notice would have been a useless
ceremony, which the law does not i'm
pose upon courts of justice. The notice
was therefore sufficient.
Second. AS the petition set forth the
general facts' in regard to the estate, it
must be presumed that, at the hearing,
the court had all the necessary proofs
before it. The decree of sale was there
fore valid and binding.
Third. The records show that the
bond was delivered to the Judge and
duly approved before the sale. A paper
is filed when it is delivered to
the proper officer, and endorsing it with
the time of filing is not part of the
filing.
Fourth. On this point, as on the last,
the court rules that the records
show that the appraisement had been
substantially filed in the court before the
confirmation of the sale, and the mark
ing of it filed by the Clerk, was not
essential to its validity. AS to whether
the appraisement in the form made gave
sufficient information to the Court to en-.
able it to exercise it's prerogative, it is
held that "in a collateral attack, the
Court (being as in this case, for such pro-
ceedings, OF general jurisdiction) had, by
virtue of the petition filed and exhibited
to it, jurisdiction to determine the sufh.
cheney of the evidence upon the matterin
hand, and its judgment in the premises
cannot here be controverted.
The judgment of the lower court, 80
far as it relates to all the plaintiffs and
appellants except Gay and Miller, is re-
versed. 1t is said that an attempt will
be made to reopen the case by applying
for new hearing.

I have ob- served that changes only. come after the people have loudly demanded them. The last grand jury told the taxpayers that they were being rob- bed, but no particular heed will be given to their words until the people generally have swelled the chorus of complaints until it actually forces q hearing. Will not some one give us more facts about that printing? Is that man in San Jose right about it? Cannot THE CLARION get hold of that bill of Solomon's and publish the items. All this distrust is wrecking I-the county, and will cause it to drift like an overloaded and water-logged ship hopeless in the financial sea. We cannot stand any increased ratio of taxation. The farmers have been as- sessed to even cord of wood lying in the door yard. Let us see that others are assessed in proportion. Grain will be very low, and the gov ernment freighting contract at the figures taken will not afford living. If the teamsters would band together it would learn somebody a lesson. You may think this strong talk, but you will find that it will have to come to that at last
 The Bulletin is fixing for some political move. It squarely declares that everything in this bankrupt county is lovely, and that the goose hangs exceedingly high, and all that is needed is to let present conditions severely alone, or make them a little more so, if possible. Might is right" in this county in practice. if not in theory. 1 hope to hear other expres- sions of opinion, so we may have a little more light on the matter; for if our prosperity, happiness and larger opportunity is to be filched away, through tax on the produce of toll that is not founded on justice. though it may have the warrant of partial and 1 iniquitous law, it is time the farmers of this Valley rise as one man and right this wrong.

of the jig, and is intended to discharge all ore or sand which comes through
 the screens. Ii might be supposed
 that, with perfect series of revolving screens, there would be nothing receiy- ed on the coarse jigs which would go through their screens, but it is next to the impossible to prevent some of the finer sands from clinging to and join ing with the larger rocks, and these
 fine particles have to be provided for another source from which the fine particles come, is to be found in the abrasion of the coarse rock in its pas sage to the jig, and in the action it is subjected to when it gets there. As the rock is continuously fed to the jig and it has been sh own that only a very small percentage goes through the screen, it is plain that the great est amount must remHin lodged on the screen. A jig, to be kept in per feet working condition, besides hay ing a steady supply of water and ore, and having its moving parts in good order, mIst also bs provided with means whereby the ore as it accumu- lates on the screen can be automatic ally removed. The reason why it is necessary to the good work of a jig to be able to automatically discharge the ore which lodges on the screen, is this: having found by experiment just what water, stroke, and speed is required to make good concentrate, the next thing to be done is to main tain the working of the jig in precise ly the same condition it was found best. It is an easy matter to keep the stroke, speed, and supply of water at a regular gait, but the ore is a variable quantity and must be closely watched.
 It has already been shown that the tendency of a mixed body of ore and rock particles of the same size, when exposed to the action of an upward intermittent stream of water, was to arrange itself in layers according to gravity; the ore to be saved by con- centration is almost invariably the heaviest, and consequently becomes that layer which is nearest 10 the screen. Water, stroke, speed, aud lay CT of ore, being once established as be- ing all right, it can be shown that the depth of this layer of ore must be kept always the same for that particular ore.
 Should it happen that the ore layer becomes too shallow, the water will have too much action on the light and small particles, and they will pass to the screen and through it, making a dirty product below; on the other hand, should the layer of ore become too deep, the action of the water on the ore particles will be retarded and much good ore will pass up and over the overflow to the next screen, or else will be lost in the tailings.
