In the Courts.

The case of the county against Ell
Hyder Hammond, the Republican Tax
Collector who skipped" with something
near $40, 1000 of the county funds. came
up before Judge Wade yesterday. It is
years since Hammond Ievanted, but this
is the first real step towards the recovery
of his defalcation. The matter was sub
mitted to the court on stipulation be-
tween the attorneys. The outcome will
be watched with no smell amount of in
terest by the taxpayers whose money
was stolen.
In Department l the case of John E.
baltimore, the famous negro OF San
Gabriel valley, was up. He is charged
with arson. A jury was obtained
and then the trial went over. on account
of the illness OF Deputy District Attorney
McComas, who is trying the case for the
people.
The case of Mccoy vs. Mccoy has
been transferred to Department 2. This
is divorce case, in which the wife oi
DIR. Mccoy, of Pasadena, sues for dis
solution of the marriage bond. The
Doctor is we'll known, having figured
here in the newspaper business, as vel
as in Pasadena. He is a rich man
Some time ego his wife sued for di
vorce, but compromised the matter or
her husband deciding 70 her $40 900 worth
Of property. She now revives the suit, anC
alleges cruelty as the grounds. 1t is re-
ported that the cruelty consisted in hi
charging her with unfaithfulness to hel
marriage vows.
Another old divorce suit has been re-
newed, wherein the wife OF G. A. Paige
OF East Los Angeles, sues for a sever
snce of the bonds of matrimony. Thi
is legal chestnut, for Mrs. Paige hs
twice before brought suit ior divorce. II
the other cases she alleged extreme cru
city as the grounds, but these suits wert
compromised. This time she asks for 6
divorce on the ground of adultery, anG
cites Annie and Clara Burlinga anne as the
persons with whom the offense was com
mitted. These were pair OF
| courtesans we'll known in this
city. Annie WAS the respectable wife
of we'll known business man
OF tho city years ago. She left him tc
go on the streets, and was mixed up with
all sorts Of scrapes in the city. She and
Clara were born in Ell Monte. Some
time ago Annie married sporting man
of San Bernardino, and they went to live
in st. Louis. She is said to be now in
that city at the point of death from a
severe illness. Clara is said to have
been absen from this city for half year.
Mrs. Paige's many suits make one sus-
pend judgment until the case is tried.
T. E. Rowan and E. A. De Camp were
appointed some time ago to appraise the
estate of the late Miguel Leonis. They
completed their labors yesterday snd

had we the right to keep them out, We
ought to encourage them in every pos

guaranteed to them by the constitution,

McGinty on Franchises.


EDITORS HERALD: Were it not q mat
ter OF such grave Importance, it would
be quite amusing to follow our would.be
reformers in their::ssmild theories for the
amelioraticn of the condition of the
human race. Just now the great dan
ger which threatens the people of this
city is, according to our Social-commu-
nationalistic friends, that the City Coun-
Gil may grant franchise to new com.
pany which proposes to bring into the
city an abundant supply of pure noun
tain water. How the granting of such q
franchise can injure anyone except the
corporations that are now extorting from
US nearly double the legal rates is rather
difficult for an ordinary mortal to find
out. The amusing feature of this oppo-
sition is that the same class of agitators,
only few years ago took exactly an
opposite view Of the matter, and cue.
ceeded in in migrating into the con-
stitution of the State q clause
which provides that any individual, or
corporation, shall have the right to Law
down water or gas pipes in the streets of
any city. Sec. Is of art. XII of the State
constitution reads as follows, to wit "In
any city where there are no public
works owned and controlled by the muni-
cipality for supplying the same with
water or artificial light, any individual
or any company duly Incorporated for
such purpose, under and by authority of
the laws of this State, shall, under the
direction of the superintendent of streets
or other officer in control thereof, and
under such general regulations as the
municipality may prescribe for damages
and indemnity for damages, have the
privilege of using the public streets and
thoroughfares thereof, and of laying down
pipes and conduits therein aid connec-
tions Herewith, so far as may be neces-
sary for introducing into and sup
plying such city and its inhab-
itants either with gas light
or other Illuminating light, or with fresh
water for domestic and all other purposes,
upon the condition that ths municipal
government shall have the right to regu-
late the charges thereof" 1t will be seen
from the above that any individual or
any company may claim and exercise
the right to lay down water or gas pipes.
The only power which the Council has is
that OF prescribing regulations for dam
ages and fixing the rates that may be
charged. Mr.. Embody or any individual
is guaranteed this right by the constitu-
ton of the State, and is under no obliga-
tion to furnish water free for municipal
or any other purpose. But further, we
all know that the water supplied from
the Los Angeles during the time from
June lat to November 1st is, to say the
least, very Objectionable in quality and
often deficient in quantity. l am not
acquainted with Mr.. Embody, or,
so far as l know, any Of the
parties interested in the project which
he represents, but have understood that
the water which they propose to bring
into the city will be brought from the
Sierra Madre mountains, which guaran-
tees its purity, and that experts have

Our Country Schools.

At recent meeting of the Farmers Club,

custom was held on the subjectof our COM

practical observations that vera pre-
sented:
G. G. Thacher said that in speaking with
Col Curtis about the good work being done
by the farmers institutes the latter re-
marked: 1T men who most need the in
structions Of the Institute are those who
viii not go one mile to attend one; we have
got to carry these things to their very

tutes is also true of education in every
form. 1t is not the people who have gem
ulre desire and will make an effort for an
education that need our help, but those who
VIII not make an effort. Another class who
need our help is the isolated farmers who

II am going TO give an exhibition of

townspeople came out to make a crowd of

the crowd and took up a collection, and he
must have got an average of 10 cents for
every one present. When he had pocketed
the money he approached several large
grindstones lying in a heap and chained to-
gether and announced:

Ponular Sclerca.

1t has long been accepted as a fact that
married couples, who are not only exposed
to the same conditions of life, but the in
fiuencs of whose minds must necessarily
react upon each other, assume a moro OF
less facial resemblance TO each other. The
Photographic Society of Geneva, Switzsr,
land, with view to determine this ques-
ton, have made photographs of seventy
eight young couples. The result is that il
twenty-four cases the resemblance in the
personal appeara zee of the husband and
wife was greater than that of brother anG
sister; ia thirty cases it was equally great
and in only twenty-tour was there a total
absence of resemblance.

The good effects of manure in contact

the fertility locked up in the soil which it
touches.
Some expe, iments have shown that pull
verized charcoal is the best insect proven
tive for growing tuFnips, onions and rad
ishes. Its value for this purpose is caused
by the SULPHUR and potash it contains. We
feel authorized to say this upon the high
authority of some who have effectively
tested its utility.
The benefits of manures, however applied,

The Poultry House.

As the hot season advances, poultry
keepers should not neglect the publication
of the fowl house. Proper sanitary meas
ures must be taken, or health and success
ful poultry raising cannot be expected, nor
is 1t deserved. Lime is an excellent purifier,
and, when carbolc acid is added to tie
whitewash, will effectually keep away YER
min from the walls. After every cleaning
of the fl or it should be sprinkled with car
bolic acid; dilute twenty of water to one
of acid. This is one of the best
dislnfectants and antisep6lcs known,
and Is not used as much
as it deserves. The roosts
should be sprinkled with it every week.
This whitewashing should be done twice, at
least, better three times a year. The nests
of the setting hens should be sprinkled with
carbolic acid to keep off vermin; aud the
coops also where young broods are kept for
time should be purified in this way. If a
hen gets lousy, the dilute acid viii destroy
them by putting it under the wings, on head
aud neck. Wood ashes are excellent to
keep in fowl houses for hens to dust them
selves With. This is much more effectual
than sand, but sand should be kept for q
bath. With ut proper attention to these
matters, poultry keepers cannot expect to
