A California School Case.

SAN FRANoIsco, CAL, February 4.-The
supreme court rendered decision yester-
day in the case of Arthur Wysinger, by his
guardian, Edmond Wysinger, against s. A.
Crookshank, for writ of mandate to COM
pei the defendant, teacher in public
school in Visalia, to admit the minor as
scholar. The lower court denied the ap
plication, from which an appeal was taken.
The teacher refused to admit the petit
toner on the sole ground that he is colored
and that school was provided for colored
children. Both the plaintiff and his father
are citizens of the United States. The
question to be determined was whether or
not under the laws of this state, touching
the education of children in public schools,
it is within the power of the board of edu-
cation of the city of Visalia to establish
public school exclusively for such children
as the applicant, and to excludelthem from
the school established for white children.
The court held that the board of educa-
ton of the city of Visalia, represented by
he teacher, exceeded its rights in eXclud-
ing Wysinger from the school, and ordered
that the decision of the lower court be
reversed, and that q writ of mandate issue
compelling the board to admit the petit
toner to the school.
The opinion was written by Commits
sioner Foote, and concurred in by Commits
sioners Belcher and Hayne.

Mr.. McCreary-I made my motion to ad-
journ in good faith because it is now nearly
4 O'Clock and because heard member of
the committee on rules say it was probable
that the committee would report the rules
tomorrow.
The speaker did not think that was a
question of personal privilege.
Mr.. McCreary thought that it was mas
much as the speaker had imputed certain
motives 10 him in making his motion.
The speaker replied he had imputed no
motives to the gentleman. The ruling of
the chair was not personal. 1t was not
personal to the gantleman from Kentucky
A vote was taken on the demand for the
previous question and it was ordered. Yeas

During the calling of the roll Mr.. Spring
er held constitution with Mr.. Mckinley,
the result of which was that the Demo-
Gratis made no further opposition and the
bill was referred to the committee on ways
and means without division.
On motion of Mr.. Mckinley the house

third was narrow band blue enamel, set in

pain on the features, and death must have

side of the room, under rubber cover
was charred mass of human flesh twisted
and warped beyond all recognition, and
supposed to be the remains of the French
maid. The flesh was completely burned
off the head and shoulders, and from the

bruises, and at times this morning was
hysterical as she began to realize the ex-
tent of her terrible loss. Miss Wilmerding
is decidedly better, having passed restful
night.
Secretary Tracy has displayed wonderful
recuperative powers, and this morning
about II o'clock he surprised his physi-
clans by getting out of bed and dressing
himself. He showed such strength that he
was allowed to descend to the library and
to remain there during portion of the

anything without assistance, but showed
more strength than he was supposed tc

This is the fiftieth year of ex-Gov.

Lewiston. Now seventy-six years
old, he is constantly atwork, driving
from 10 to 40 miles every day. His
health has not been quite so good as
usual this fall, but his chaise has been
eeen bobbing over our roads just the
same. The ex-governor sat down the
other day and figured up how many
miles he had ridden in those fifty
years. He found that he had gone
around the globe many times. His
long journey amounted to trifle
over $50, 1000 miles. 1t further inn
pressed upon the doctor the fact that
he is getting along in years when he
reflects that he has been personally
acquainted with five generations of
his own family, and is now visiting
professionally families in Lewiston
whom he has attended for five gener-
ations. What a procession he has

feet long, weighing from 800 to 500
tons, and display the most eonsum-
