THOSE UNPAID SALARIES.
The Police Officers VIII Have Another
Test Case

The police officers who were appointed
under the Act of 1889, authorizing the in
crease of Sacramento's police force-and
which Act was recently declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court-have de-
cided to make another effort to get their
money.
Another lest case is to be made, and yes
terday Amos Agner, one of the unpaid
officers, filed papers through his attorney,
Charles T. Jones, in the Superior Court in
a suit against the city. He claims that
$1,000 is due him from the city as salary
for seventeen months.
II is stated that this suit will be based on
the fact that the Supreme Court, in its
recent decision, did not touch upon the
question of salaries, hut simply declared
the Act unconstitutional. Fifteen officers
are interested in the suit.

said: "All the features are good. A better
acrobatic troupe has never performed in
Chicago" The Chicago Post of October

braces some wonderful performers, and
doubtless presents the best talent TO be

sent. The wings under which Ruth had
come to trust were gentle wings. There
Is nothing softer than feather. You
have noticed when q bird returns from
flight how gently it stoops over the nest.
The young birds are not afraid of h6V-
ing their lives trampled out by the
mother bird; the old whip-poor-
drops into It's nest of leaves, the oriole
into its casket OF bark, the hummiug
bird into its hammock of moss-gen.le as
the light. And SO, says the Pselmist, He
shall cover thee with His wing. oh, the
gentleness of God, But even that figure
does not fully set it forth; for have
sometimes looked into the bird nest
and seen O dead bird-its life having
been trampled out by the mother bird.
But 10 one that ever came under the
feathers of the Almighty was trodden on.
Blessed nest! warm nest! Why will
men stay out in the cold TO be shot of
temptation and to be chilled by the
blast, when there is divine shelter? More
beautiful than any flower l ever saw are
the hues of birds plumags. Did you
ever examine It? The blackbird floating
like fake of darkness through the SUM-
light; the meadow lark, with head of
fawn and throat of velvet and breast of
gold; the red flamingo tiving over the
Southern swamps like sparks from the
FORGE OF THE SITTING SUN,
the pelican white and black-morning
and night tangled in its wings-but give
a very faint idea of the beauty that
comes down over the soul when on it
drop the feathers of the Almighty.
Here fold your weary wings. This is the
on.y safe nest. Every other nest will be
destroyed. The prophet SAYS so:
Though thou exalt thyself like the
eagle, and set thy nest among the stars,
yet will l bring thee down, saith the
Lord of Hosts.'' Under the swift wings,
under the broad wings, under the strong
wings. under the gentle wings of the
Almighty, find shelter until these calam-
tiles be overpast. Then when you want
to change nests, it will only be from the
valley Of earth to the heights of heaven;
and instead of "the wings of a dove,''
for which David longed, not knowing
that in the first mile of their flight they
would give out, you will be conducted |
upward by the Lord God of Israel, under |
whose Wings Ruth, the beautiful Moa- |
Oitess, came to trust.
God forbid that in this matter of eter- |
lal veal or woe we should be more |
stupid than the fowls of heaven; "for |
The stork knoweth her appointed time; |

and demanded that the general be sur
rendered TO them. Capt. Pitts refused
to accede to the demand
An attempt was made TO coerce
him by Withholding his clearance
papers, but after q detention of twenty

refusal TO deliver Gen. Barnudis with
out an order from the government, the
vessel was permitted TO resume her

evening of the same day the steamer ar
rived at San Jose.
