SPEAKER CRISP is still wrestling with
the committee question. There are 80
many new members that IN the face of
the traditions of the house which oppose
giving such members prominence on
committees the speaker finds his task a
very embarrassing one. A complete as
signment of committeeman may not be
expected before the holidays.

DO THE SALMON EAT e?

Belief They Abstain From Food After

1t Is the opinion Of many people that

breeding grounds. This abstinence from
food is not claimed for salmon in the rivers
of Canada or Great Britain, where they are

In the rivers of the Coast generally, and in
the Columbia particularly, it is claimed that
salmon eat nothing after leaving the salt
water, as nothing is ever found in their
stomachs. According to this theory the or
binary Chinook beats Tanner or Succi, for
these fish come into the Columbia as early as
possible in the year-there are plenty of
them IN the rivers now-and thew remain
here till late in the fall or until they die.
The fact that salmon OF various species and
all sizes are taken at the falls of Oregon City
with troIling-spoOns or with bait OF salmon
roe goes for nothing with the believers in
the total abstinence from food theory.

The hearing of the Dana will contest was
resumed before Judge Coffey yesterday,
Expert r. U. Piper being further cross-ex-
amined as to his methods of examining the
various papers in the cause submitted to
him.
He stated that. by comparison of dts, he
had arrived at the conclusion that respond
ent's Exhibit 81, a paper referring to a safe
deposit key in Boston, is genuine. The wit
ness was made 10 infinitely tell what this
conclusion was based upon, and said that by
the use of Table Is, which lie compared
with Exhibit 81, the fact could be proved
With regard to the alleged wills of Dana
the witness reiterated that they are for
geries.
On being asked if respondents Exhibit 2
called - the long memorandum" is genuine,
lie said lie could not answer without first
making an examination with the Micro
scope.
Attorney Hyde declared that he would
not proceed until the witness had answered
the question, but the Court ruled that the
proceedings should not be interrupted. He
had already had occasion to animadvert
upon the cOunsels' dilatory tactics, and he
was determined to endure them no further
Attorney kowalsky then asked permis-

| pare them, TO ascertain if they are tue same.
| An objection to such proceedings was Inter
| posed by Mr. Lloyd, but after much talking

Why Pretty Dude Left the Car in a
Hurry and in Anger.
He was real pretty young man, and he
was gotten up in the highest style of the
art. He sat in the cable-car, next TO the
stove, and regarded with evident admira-
ton pair Of very positive, very large
checked and very new trousers, which he
pulled up carefully at the knees to prevent
any tendency TO bagging. says the Kansas
City Globe.
The car ratified and clattered along and
all the passengers gazed into upward va
cancy, like all cable-car passengers do,
Finally fair maiden who sat opposite the
young man saw something and giggled,
after the fashion Of her kind. Then she
looked at the nice young man and giggled
again, then she nudged her fair companion,
and the fair companion gazed across the
car, looked at the young man, and giggled
a small! boy followed their looks, stared at
something over the young mans head, and
then snOrted.
All this annoyed the nice young man,
VINO had been looking very wise, and when
two or three other passengers joined in the
chorus he began to wiggle and quit looking
wise. The laughing increased and grew
and spread and the nice young man grew
desperate He got up to see what it was
over his head that caused the unseemly
exclamation. He found il. 1t was one Of
those big cardboard signs that adorn cable
cars. 1t was printed in big black letters and
it read:

Is one OIL our customers. He is very fussv
and hard to please; but my. isn't he elegant
pants"
The nice young man left the car: left IL In
haste, IL anger, leaving behind him some
very naughty words that smelt Of sulphur.

The Chinese gamblers are sorely pressed by
the police. The majority have abandoned tan

started up a dice game on Jackson street.
Sergeant Price and posse raided the place
and arrested six of the Mongos for being
visitors, and they were convicted in the Po-
lice Court.
EX-Judge Hornblower made an argument
Yesterday morning in support of motion
for new trial. THE point on which we
rely" he said, sis that the statute against
dice games does not apply to persons who
visit such games. The Superior ana other
courts have recently made such decisions"
And in every such case" was Judge
Rix's rejoinder. II think the Superior Court
has been wrong The law may be harsh,
but propose to enforce it, In recent case

error, and so stated. | believe the law
which imposes fine of $3.50 in such cases is
harsh. II is my duty, however. to enforce
that law"

ex-Superintendent of Public Streets Thomas
Ashworth and his sureties, Joseph L..
Schmidt and Adam Grant, alleging in his
complaint that he is the owner of land on
Bahama street, near Susquehanna, and on
Susquehanna street, near Railroad avenue,
and that the Board of Supervisors awarded
contract for laying a sewer in front of said
property to one Thomas Philbin. 1t then
became the duty, it is alleged, of the de-
tendant, Ashworth, as Superintendent OF
Streets, to see that Phiibn followed said
contract; but, wholly neglectipg his duty in
That regard, he permitted the use of inferior
material and workmanship. The disregard
OF the provisions of the contract resulted in
ihe street through which the sewer runs
oelng rendered impossible. The plaintiff
further alleges that his property was as
Sessed $3.50 Is, which he was obliged 70 pay
to discharge the lien declared on 1t, and he
therefore prays damages in that sum with
interest and costs
