the husband pay the Clerk of the Court
S269 90 to be retained and to await further
action.
The foregoing was the amount of the
wife's costs incurred in the trial of the
cause, as settled by the court.
The Supreme Court says that the law
provides that while an action for divorce
is pending the court may, in its discre-
ton, require the husband to pay as ali
mony any money necessary to enable the
wife to support herself or her children,
or to prosecute or defend the action.
AS to the granting ofalimony peRdente
hte, that is matter resting in the sound
discretion ofthe court" says the Supreme
Court, "and this record discloses nothing
to justify us in disturbing that discretion
as exercised by the trial court in this
cause. The fact that the court ordered
the clerk to retain in his possession, until
further order, the amount ordered to be
paid by plaintiff for witness fees, afford
no grounds of complaint by plaintiff, for
he is not injured by that portion of the
order.'

WRONG TREATMENT.
How Captain Ben Harris Was Doc.

tored During the Fair.
The best thing we have heard lately,
says the Breeder and Sportsman, is told
on Captain Ben Harris. He got dumped
out behind his favorite horse, Harry Mac,
at Sacramento last week, and was de-
clared out of the list of drivers. They
took him up to his hotel and covered him
with raw oysters, till the oysters ran out
and SADDLE Rocks" advanced to 81 80 per
dozen. The nursery brigade then fell
back on sliced cucumbers with which
they built complete pavement over him,
till he looked like a ''Keno' card with
4-l1-44 on the top row. Some fellow went
into the room, and, beholding the sylph-
like Harris lying under this accumulation
of bivalves and vegetables, asked:
Ben, how are you, old boy?''
Getting along fine" returned the ex-
commander of the Mayfiower "pd
have been out all right yesterday if il
hadn't been for these doctors. They
don't adopt the proper pathology in my
case"
II don't understand you," says his
friend.
We'll, Pll make it plain to you. They
have starved me and filled me full OF
medicine; and then they have covered me
from head to foot with raw oysters and
sliced cucumbers. Now, if they had only
given me the oysters and cucumbers, in
side of me, and given me the medicine
externally, I'd have been out behind old
Butcher and driving for every heat"

The morning and evening mists that

A safeguard is needed to render harmless
the dangerous miasmata with which they

is an antidote to the poison which has
already been inhaled and borne fruit, an
adequate preventive of its harmful effects.

A Special Session to Consider the Gov.

A. Abbott appeared before the Board of
City Trustees at its meeting yesterday
morning and stated that he and David
Lubin had been appointed sub-cOmmit-
tee from the Governors Mansion Finance
Committee to ask the board to subscribe
$l,G00 to raising the necessary amount
asked for as cash guarantee for the pur-
chase of the Steffens residence. He
stated that if the next Legislature pur-
chased the residence the money sub
scribed would all be returned, and if it
did not the subscribers would lose the
amount they might put in. In all prob
ability, however. the necessary money
would be appropriated as soon as the
next Legislature convened.
The members Of the board desired time
to think over the proposition, and re-
solved not to take action until the after
noon session.
GRAVEL FOR E STREET.
A communication was received from
Elwood Bruner, attorney for some prop
erty-owners on E street, which is at
present being graded, stating that his
clients desired the work TO cease until the
board determined definitely the bound
airy lines of the street. They wanted the
street to be the proper width as required
by law.
The matter was referred to the Street
Commissioner.
SEVENTH IMPROVEMENT.
A petition was received from property
owners on Seventh street, from f to II,
asking that Folsom gravel be used in inn
proving the street. 1t was referred to the
Street Commissioner.
The bids for improving this street were
about to be opened when James Touhey
asked that the opening be delayed for
one week. He said he had not bid on
Folsom gravel, and desired to withdraw
his bid and make out new one if it was
decided that Folsom gravel should be
used
Trustee Mclaughlin said the board did
not know whether or not the petition
contained the names of a majority of the
property-owners,a and he thought it made
no difference.
The bids were opened and the contract
was awarded to II. G. Ewing.
Bids for grading + street, from Sixth to
Twentieth, were opened, and B. Labs
was found to be the lowest bidder. The
awarding of the contract was, however,
laid over.

hour days in one in order to double
their wages, and instead OF the physl-
cal benefit of short days of labor the
only effect would be to increase the
amount Of wages. The latter result
could better be obtained by the enact
ment of a law with severe penalties
prohibiting all persons from working
Tor wages and prohibiting operators
and proprietors from giving employ
nent TO any person more than eight
out OF every twenty-four hours. Such
a law would prevent the laborers from
violating the rule which they demand
shall be established and would soon
Increase the price Of labor by increas-
ing the demand and no one would be
injured, while many Of those who are
now unemployed would find work.
Labor would be distributed and an
eight-hour day would soon bring as
much wages as a ten-hour day now
does, while the controversy over an
Increase Of wages would thus be
avoided and the matter would regulate
itself.
