throwing herself in the bay at North Beach.
She resided with her family at Is Union

TARGET PRACTICE.
Some Lessons Learned From Fort

Cracking at sIlhouettes" is the latest
phase of musketry practice. What it means
is that the regular soldier or militlaman, IN
stead of aiming deliberately at passive

start on the jump from the word 60 ana

the target had pistol in its hand and was
aiming at you. For half a century past tie

M'KINSTRY'S BRIEF.

He Holds That the w orld's air Appro-
priation Is Legal.
The brief of ex-Justice McKinstry, coun-
sci for the California Worlds Fair Com
mission in the case pending in the Supreme
Court against Controller Colgan, was re-
ceiyed from the State Printer last night
and will be fled to-day.
After reviewing the act of March 6, 1891,
creating the commission and making
the legislative appropriation Of 100000.
aud after referring to the arguments Of op-
posing counsel, the attorney concentrates
the pith Of Lis argument into the following
words:
"The statute of California is not uncon-
stitutional for the reason that the National
Commission has the general direction and
man agement of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. The statute does not make or
authorize gift, grant or donation to a cor
poration existing in Illinois. 1t does not
authorize or direct a transfer OF the Cali
fornia buildings 10 aD Illinois corporation" ="
This is the final brief in the case, and il is
expected that the Supreme Conrt, in con-
sidei alton of the important State interests
involved in this decision, will render an
early decision and settle this much-yexed
question.

A young man who lives in the upper val

from San Francisco. Directly in front OF
him sat a man and two ladies. The fresh
young man Familiarity touched ore of the
ladies on the back, misiudging the character
of the parties, and inquired where she was
going. The answer was a paralyZng blow
from the man accompanying her. A row
seemed imminent, but was averted by the
trainmen.
Arriving at Napa said young man at
tempted to get his assailant arrested for bat
terry, and by giving a muchly garbled ac-
count OF the affair succeeded in getting war

Investigation proved that the man who
gave the John l.. Sullivan blow was Deputy
