Useless Lives.
National Presbyterian.

National Presbyterian.
How useless our lives seem to us
sometimes! and how we long for an
opportunity to perform some great
action! We become tired of the
routine of home life, and imagine we
would be far happier in other
scenes. We forget that the world
bestOws 10 titles as noble as father,
mother, sister, or brother. In the
sacred precincts Of home we have
many chances of heroism. The daily
acts of selfdenial for the good of a
loved one, the gentle word of sooth-
ing for another's trouble, the care of
sick may all seem as nothing; yet
who can tell the good they may ac-
cOmplish? Our slightest word may
have an influence over another for
good or evil. We are daily sowing
the seed which will bring forth some
sort of a harvest. Well will it be
for us if the harvest will be one we
will be proud to garner. If some one
in that dear home can look back
in after years, and, as he tenderly
utters our name, say, "Her words
and example prepared me for a life
of usefulness; to her l owe my present
happiness" we may we'll say: 81
have not lived in vain"

terest which accompanied them, or
all three combined, she could not tell,
but the tears which were very near
the surface that night again gathered
in her eyes, and for the moment she
was unable to speak.
With ready tact Miss Durand laid
her hand softly on Elinor's, and
said:
"There, wait a little and then tell
me all about it,"
And to Elinor's establishment she
soon found herself telling "all about
it" and she found too, most SYM
pathetic listener who said to her after
she had finished,
"My dear, one thing / see plainly,
you must come here and let us help
you. We try to make this a real
home, and besides that, dear, we try
to help each other along in the
straight and narrow way. And now
we must find you place l Won

Yes" answered Elinor eagerly,

friend. "One of my girls is to be

Daughters, who sent the flowers to
me, were guided, that the thought
which came into my mind to send
the surplus punches across the way,
was no chance thought. They were
sent In His Name and he had a
mission for Them"
But Miss Durand little dreamed
how large mission it was. l wish
l might tell you more about it; of
Elinor's new life in the Home, which
was indeed worthy of the name ; of
new joyssand experiences that came
to her, but must leave it here-this
record of a few facts written for the
encouragement of all which are work.

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.
Purposes of the Newly Formed
State Association.

The convention of District Attorneys,
called some months ago by the District At
torneys of the bay counties to effect per-
manent organization. was held in the Grand
Jury rooms at the City Hall yesterday, and
there were present William 5. Barnes OIL
San Francisco; George w. Reed, Alameda
George d. Murray, Humboldt; j. l.. HE'D
ncr, San Benito; R. G. Rust. Amador; Il.
d. Ryan, Sacramento; Carl Lindsay, Santa
Cruz; H. p. Andrews, deputy. Tehama :;
j. Z. Pardee, Lassen; V. A. Scheller, Santa
Clara; o. X. Robinson, Placer, and L. j.
Fordng of San Bernardino.
For purposes of temporary organization
Mr.. Barnes of San Francisco was chosen
Chairman and Mr.. Reed Of Alameda Secre-
tary. Messrs. PaIdee, Ryan and Scheller
were appointed a committee on permanent
organization, and recommended that Mr.
Barnes be made permanent President and
Mr.. Reed permanent Secretary of the Asso-
citation of the District Attorneys of the
State of California. This was adopted
Mr.. Ryan of Sacramento was elected
Vice-President and Mr.. Scheller. OF Santa
Clara Treasurer The Executive Com
mittee consists of K. C. Rust. OF ANA
dor. c. E. Lindsay of Santa Cruz, A. X.

member and Chairman of the Executive

The purpose of this association is to Sc
cure. If possible, not an increase in the sal
aries OF District Attorneys, as many have
supposed, but more uniformity in criminal
practice and the handling Of criminal cases

easy matters. as all legislation in this State
has too many times demonstrated. Tho
District Attorneys hope that by forming
themselves into an association and appear
ing before the Legislature with proposed
reforms stamped with their approval they
will be more apt to receive recognition. 1t
will then be understood that the reforms
desired are not individual schemes, but in
the interest of the whole State, carefully
considered by those who have the States
welfare at heart.
The afternoon session was spent In dis
cusSing the plan of campaign. 1t seemed to
be the general impression that the rights Of
the people are somewhat abridged by Sec
tion 1910 of the Penai Code, which gives the
defendant double the number of peremptOry
challenges allowed the State. On motion OF
Pafdee of Lassen 1t was declared the sense
of the association that Section 1910 be
amended so as to give the State an equal
number Of peremptory challenges with the
defense.
The subject of making all criminal prose-
cution State expense instead of each
county bearing its own was more or less
discussed. Pardee of Lassen favored it,
citing the feeling in many of the backw0ods
counties liz favor of IL. frequently one of
those counties becomes rendezvous for
criminals, and 1t keeps the local common
wealth in state of perpetual bankruptcy to
prosecute them. The prosecution Of crime,
I've argued, is something the whole State Is
interested in, and the whole State therefore
should bear the burden of expense. No
definite action was taken upon the ques-
tiOn.
The Executive Committee is vested with
authority to communicate with all the MEM
bers from time TO time on matters OF I'M
portance under consideration, call meetings
when necessary and prepare any much
needed reforms for legislation that may be
deemed wise.

The Grand Jury Girding Up lis

Mass Of subpenas Issued Citing Legislators
to Appear-The Supreme Court Will
Review the Chute Case.

There Is every probability that within
few DAYS the question OF the Grand Jury's
legality will be settled beyond all doubt by
the highest legal tribunal in the State. The
Supreme Court has announced its willing
ness TO give immediate consideration to the
several contested points, II properly pre-
scented. Steps have been taken to have this
done. and it must be done this week, because
one week from Monday the members Of the
court will leave for Los Angeles to hold
tAeir winter term.
Attorney General Hart was interviewed
on behalf Of the people, aud has been hard
at work ia preparing the necessary affidavit
TO have the case heard by the Justices by
means of a petition for a writ of review.
He had prepared the affidavit on Friday,
bat after consultation with District Attor-
ney Blrnes, Barclay Henley and Judge
Wallace, it was thought better to enter
more into the details of the case in the petit
ton. Between the different parties it has
been agreed TO have the case presented in
the form Of accepted and agreed facts, upon
which the Supreme"COurt will be asked to
rule In accordance with the law and the
rulings of previous courts.
The Supreme Court was ready yesterday
TO hear the case, and some Of the Justices
were around until late in the afternoon, but
the necessary papers in the case were not
fled. The Attorney General, with the as
sistance of the District Attorney, had COM
pleted bis labors in drawing up the petition
embodying all the facts of the empanelment
of the Grand Jury and the subsequent pro-
ceedings in Judge Murphy's department.
The petition grew from simple document
covering a few pages to a massive paper
containing over 1000 words. Besides the
facts Of the case, all the legal questions in
yolved are succinctly stated.
The document would have been filed and
heard yesterday morning had the other side
agreed, but when it was submitted Creed
Raymond and G. Ben Darwin. counsel for
Dick Chute, asked for time in which to
make a review of the contents of the petit
ton before they would subscribe TO the
agreed facts. Tomorrow AttOrney-Generai
Hart is compelled to be in Sacramento. but
will return by Tuesday morning, by which
time the papers will be all ready for filing.
The Supreme Court will hear the case as
soon as the papers are filed. There is some
talk among people Interested in seeing Judge
Wallace upheld and the Grand Jury sus-
tanned OF employing one OF the ablest law

has in its possession facts which Il can
prove and which if made public would
make many of the bOOdlers tremble, and
would add to the contingent OF politicians
a present preparing to brave the winter OF
Canada.
The next cases which will be investigated
by the Grand Jury will be the legislative
scandals in Sacramento regarding the Sena-
tOrial combine, the waste-paper basket in
cident in which eX-Judge Dibble figured,
and the Glenn County Bill, In which $4,000
is said to have been distributed as spoils TO
feed the greedy maws OF rapaclous leglSla-
tors. That the Grand Jury mas started on
wholesale investigation of this character
there is no doubt, acting under the instruc-
tion5 Of Judge Wallace that tile grand
jurors can investigate transactions which
took place in another county. provided a
part of such transaction occurred in Sah
Francisco.
The trails that the Grand Jury were placed
on by the revelations of George w. Taylor,
who knew the inside OF the legislative COM
bine, have been closely followed by the
grand Jurors and their agents, and an as
founding result is said to have been OBJ
tanned. The grand jurors propose to go to
the bottom of these odinus and shady tran
sactOns no matter whose regulations are
soiled by the disclosures of the truth, and
the placing of the finger OF justice upon the
guilty parties.
That the Grand Jury has started on this
great mission Of exposing public corruption
was evidenced Yesterday by the great mass
of subpenas which were filed in Judge
Wallace's courtroom at the request OF the
foreman of the Grand Jury. District At
tOrney Barnes appeared before Judge Wal
lace and had consultation with the pre-
siding Judge.
After the consultation and the opening of
the court he asked the Judge to sign the
subpoenas which he held in his hand. ana
order them transmitted to their proper
Sheriffs for service. The following were
the persons to whom some Of the subpenas
were directed:
George }. Campbell, Solano; R II. Campbell,
Siskyou; Thomas Fraser FL Dorado; f. ).
