THE MANDAMus CASE.

The case Of the State Of Idaho
ex rel G. Il. Shaw plaintiff, VS.. F.
+. Cavanah, ID. d. Ethel and w.
NJ. Stockton, Commissioners of FL
more County, Idaho, defendants,
came up for hearing before Judge
Stockslager at Haley ON the Sd in
slant.
District Attorney S. II. McCarty,
of Elmore, and Judge John Gray,
of the law firm of Gray & Stewart,
Boise City, appeared on behalf of
the Elmore Commissioners and
moved to quash the proceedings for
the following reasons:
l. That James II. Beatty was not
a judge of any court in the State of
Idaho on the 18th day of Novem-
Der, 1890, when he issued the order
for writ of mandate, and that Sol.
Hasbrouck, whose name appeared
on the writ, was not a clerk of any
court in the State, and w. c. Wick
ersham, who signed the writ as
deputy clerk, was not a deputy
clerk at that time.
2. That the State Of Idaho could
not be a party to suit in the
courts of Idaho Territory.
3. That c. r. Shaw did not have
sufficient interest in the subject Of
the action to authorize him to bring
the suit.
4. That no one could complain in
a matter of this kind except the
county officers who were deprived
of offices.
Wherefore defendants asked that
the action against them be dis
missed at plaintiffs cost.
After able arguments by Gray
and McCarty in favor of their mo-
ton, and feeble remarks by counsel
in opposition 1.-THE railroad lawyers
and sack" did not materializc) },
Judge Stockslager sustained the
motion on the first count, and con-
sequently did not need to pass upon
the second, third and fourth, but
intimated that il necessary he would
have sustained the motion as a
whole.
The position taken by lawyers
McCarty and Gray was that on the
Sd day of July, 1890, the Territorial
judges, as appointed by the Presi-
dent, had no power to hold court,
much less had they on or after the
LIST day Of October, when the State
judges were elected, and when the
State Supreme Judges qualified on
November Sd it is plain to every
one that Beatty's judicial life closed.
After the decision rendered by
Judge Stockslager, we are told that
Gray and McCarty proposed to the
plaintiff that If, after paying all
costs, he would renew the action
they would then and there willingly
go to trial on all the various merits
of the Casa number of strong
points not having been produced at
this hearing at all-having implicit
faith that they would win. But the
plaintiff declined TO do SO.
Sam McCarty is a young lawyer
but a close student and able ad-
vocate, and he certainly deserves
great praise for knocking out the
ex-Chief Justice of Idaho. He has
given this case almost his undivided
attention from its inception, and
with the aid of Hon. John Gray at
the hearing Of the case has fully
demonstrated that Messrs. Cava-
nah and Stockton have been faith
full followers of the law, and they
have been sustained by the court.

The Crnnla RalIa.

Her type of beauty is unique upon
this continent. She is distinctly an
amalgamatlon Of the pure Spanish and
French settlers at New Orleans Her
complexion is that OF the lily Of the
valley, with the faintest tinge Of the
Marechal Neil rose. A subtle perfume
pervades her person, CLEANED from the
powder Of orris root and the blossom OF
the violet. The ignorant imagine her
despoiled by the blood OF the African;
let the libel die. She is graceful in
every movement; she is invariably
beautiful, sometimes ravishingly beau
tiful. Her manners are charming; she
has clue: she has superb form; she has
complete self-unconsciousness Her con-
versation is low, sweet and magnetic;

ward.
There are other grades of Finders"
but their game is Of q very small order.
Before the street-cleaners have swept
the refuse of the streets into piles Of
rubbish or in the gray OF the morning
ere the chiffoniers have started out with
baskets and long hooks, the small-fry
finder may be seen inspecting the store
doors or securing the cutters in search
of articles which belated travellers have
dropped in their haste to reach home or
in their maudlin stages. And yet an
Italian finder pays over 81, 500 per week
to this city for the privilege Of sorting
over the street sweepings. Their TO
ward is small and the mere question OF
seeking q rightful owner never enters
into the thoughts Of these street Wan+
derers.
Others haunt concert rooms, Sixth
avenue dives and certain streets where
gilded vice faunts its gaudy colors in
the face OF men Of wild and dissolute
habits, and their finds" generally con-
sist of money and jewelry. The latter
finds its way, as rule, to pawn shops
or ''fence" houses where purchases are
made and no questions are asked.
Still another class of these industrious
people make the car tracks OF the city
their mines of WEALTH. hut the fruits of
their labor are very meager, for the
average car-driver claims this as his pre-
empted land, and he rakes over the
ground between the iron rails SO thor
oughly that there is little left for any
outsider. Theaters, bathrooms and the
''L" road trains are watched SO carefully
by employees that the professional
'.fnder's" occupation IL gone almost en-
tirely.

cast ruddy light on the leaf-carpcted

broidered over with lichens and moss.
The air was instinct with sweet aro-

like beacon star in the cottage window
