ABSORBING REDWOOD TIMBER
LANDS.

An evening contemporary publishes the
following paragraph editorially:
Because the Government wishes to reserve
big tee groves Is no good reason for stopping
timber entries on redwood lands which seems
to be included in tie proposition.
We differ somewhat with our contempt
rary, for 1t is well understood that syndi-
Gates and combinations have been absorb
ing our redwood lands in large tracts dur
ing the last few years. The Government
ought not TO permit individuals to claim
these timbered lands for the express pur-
pose OF transferring them to large COM
paEies. Lately foreign companies, we
have every reason to believe, have been OBJ
tanning these lands in large tracts for the
purpose Of shipping the timber to Europe.
The CALL advocates the policy of holding
these timber housekeeping them out of
the hands of spectators.

Cora Marett Failed to Prove Her Claims
for Divorce.
Cora E. j. Maretts suit against Manager
III. Marett for divorce on the grounds of
willful neglect and failure to provide with
the necessaries of life was tried by Judge
Lawler yesterday. This couple resided at
Winnemucca, New. where he has small
drugstore.
The wife testified that she left her hus-
band in January. taking their two-year-old
child with her. He did not provide proper
residence nor clothing for them, and She
was compelled to live with her mother in
this city.
The defense proved that he had regularly
sent her money siuce she had lett him, and
that he had provided TO the best of his abi-
ity for her aud the child.
The motion for a nonsult was at once
granted, but the court awarded the mother
the custody of the child until she is 10 years
of age

COOKS BOLD STRIKE,
He Wants Client Dismissed and S
His Client Might Have Reen Triad

He Wants n Client Dismissed and Says
His Client Might Have Been Tried.
Carroll Cook, attorney for W. E. Austin,
made motion before Judge Murphy yes
terday for the dismissal Of his client, who
has been once tried for assault to MURDER
but the jury disagreed.
Cooks motion was based on Section 1882
OF the Penal Code, which provides that a
Defendant may be discharged from custody if
not brought TO trial within sixty days after
the hnding of the indictment or filing of the
information, II he had not asked for con-
tlnuance. 1t was stated that not only had
no cuntinuauces been asked, but that the
court had been idle for some cause or other
many days at time meanwhile and might
easily nave tried Austiu's case.
The Judge was considerably incensed at
Mr.. Cooks remarks, and denied that the
court had been idle. He ordered the Dis
trict Attorney to prepare an affidavit to
show exactly what the court had been
doing for the last sixty days. After that
paper has been filed he says he will dispose
of Cooks notion

sTRorHER VS.. STERN.

Auditor StrOther has commenced suit in
the Superior Court to determine whether
himself or Mr. Stern was elected Auditor
last November. The votes as counted favor
Mr. Stern by large majority, but Mr.
Strother in legal form declares his belief
that true count would give him 5000 more
than be is declared by the returns to have
received. There will be no objection what
ever to a recount before court Whether
Mr.. Strother or Mr.. Stern will benefit by the
recount remains to be seen. The presump-
ton is against Mr.. Strother from the fact
that he was majority member OF the
Board of Election Commissioners, who had
the selection of registration and election
officials. A majority of each Precinct
Board were members Of the party of which
Mr.. STROLLER was a candidate. A recount
under these circumstances does not appa-
rently hold out great prospect to Mr..
Strother, but that is matter for Mr..
Sirother to determine for himself.

AN oFFENpED CONTEMPORARY.

We notice that THE CALL has committed
a serious offense against Buckley's evening
par er in defeating the master at the last
election. The pro. rietors Of the organ prob
ably thought THE CALL ought tohave ceased
its efforts when Buckley was retired; but
no, itnow tries to take away the last bone the
Report has to gnaw-the city printing Sad
indeed, is itnota WehOpe. however, thatlthe
Report will take matters more easily than
it seems to, as it has already feathered It's
nest Quite nicely, if it has not had to divide
its income with some of the Supervisors.
The Report attacks upon The CALL may
be considered mastery. when it urges that
a press which will print $4,000 copies per
hour is not sufficient for THE CALL.

ANTI-LOTTERY AMENDMENT FRO
POSED.

The Farmers National Alliance have
adopted resolution declaring it the sense
of that body that an amendment to the Con-
sttution of the United States be submitted
by Congress to the people of. the several
States forbidding any State from granting
lottery charter or franchise of any kind to
carry On lottery schemes. The resolution
goes little further and demands that the
proposed amendment shall annul all such
charters or franchises If already granted.
The principal reason given why the amend
ment should be submitted is the great wealth
and power Of the Louisiana Company,

How Col. White Feeds the sparrows.

How Col. White Feeds the SparrOws.
Every day about 10 o'clock there ap-
pears in the doorway of the Pierrepont
house, Brooklyn, a gentleman with gray
hair and whiskers of o rather English
pattern. The closely buttoned frock
coat shows the figure of a well kept
man, careful and methodical in his
habits. This man is Col. P. White, who
for the last twenty years has been a
boarder at the Montague street hotel, and
who is as well known as the very name
Of the house he inhabits.
Regular as planet, rain or shine, Col.
White appears with the same object in
view.
He feeds the sparrows, who daily await
in the big tree opposite the hotel the ap-
pearance of their friend.
Generally Col. White has handful of
corn bread. When he stands outside
the door the little gray and brown birds
swoop down from their perches. Some
of the boldest light on Col Whites arms
and shoulders, and there is one very Sc
date and methodical bird that will take
his stand on the colonel's thumb and pick
crumbs from his open hand.
Not less than twenty sparrows are
regular in their attendance, and often
there are half a hundred chirpiIg and
twittering for their share of the food.
When the crowd is unusually large Col.
White walks around to the Hicks street
side and deals out the crumbs on the
sidewalk or on the asphalt street. Some
Of the birds know his voice, and stand
around his feet twittering impudently
and impatiently for their rations. When
the meal is ended they are told to go,
and they do, but only to return about 5
o'clock in the afternoon for their dinner
from the same kind hands.-New York
Telegram.
