AN UNEXPECTED ENDING.
The Culprit in Case Discovered by an
Inquisitive Juror.

The Cu1prit in Case Discovered by an
Inquisitive Juror.
The trial Of James l.. Farquharson in
Judge Troutts department yesterday came
to a somewhat dramatic and decidedly
interesting finale. Farquharson was charged
with having forged William Joyce's name
10 an order for baggage valued at 500. but,
'of course, strenuouSly denied his guilt. The
principal witness against him was Daniel
Harrington, the expressman vino delivered
the order and carted the baggage away.
During the examination an inquisitive
juror asked him to write the name "William
Joyce" He did so and the specimen was
handed to the District Attorney. He looked
at 1t; compared it with the forged order
looked at the Judge; compared again /;
looked at the jury; compared a third time /;
looked at the defendants counsel; again
examined the writing; looked at tile wit
ness, and finally handed the samples to the
Judge.
The fact is that the two signatures were
so Identical that blind man could have
told that they were written by the same
person. After the Judge had examined
them. they went the round of the jury box
and counsel, and, upon the motion of the
District Attorney, the Court instructed the
jury 10 acquit Farquharsou.
Harrington was perSpiriny freely during
this little by-play, aud, released from the

Inc action by Moses Hopkins against C.
W. WEIGH and others to enjoin the opening
widening and extending of Nineteenth,
twentieth, Twenty-frst, Twenty-second
ana iWenty-third streets from their present
terminus to Corbett road was tried before
Judge Hoge yesterday. Edward R. TAYLOR
ana George D. Shadburne represented the
plalntlff and X. b. Mitchell, w. NJ. PIerson
I. f. Dunno and Frank McNally the de-
iendants. The main point relied upon by
the plaintiff was that notices of the proposed
lmpl ovements had not been posted as pro-
Vlded by law, and J. Sarousky, r. Roberts
and George ID. Shadburne testified that thew
had not seen them. T. Tracy, a Deputy
superintendent of Streets, testified that he
mad posted the notices, and others declared
mat they had seen them. No further testi-
mony was introduced and counsel on each
siue ueuVered exhaustive arguments, where
upon the case was submitted.
Edward Il. Taylor, in his argument. main
talned tnat the most important points to be
discussed We're as to whether resolutions
ana orders Tor street work must 90 to the
Mayor for his approval, and whether the
act oil 1889 could be construed as permitting
omnibus legislation" He contended that
the present action is to prevent such legis-
lation, and denied that the Supervisors
could legsate under the act referred to
when 1t cunfiicted with the city charter.
That charter provided that all resolutions
and orders should be passed to print, and
sent to the Mayor for his approval, and it is
alleged in this case that this provision has
not been observed with regard to the resO-
lntlonS providing for the extension of the
streets named.

A Funeral Service Interrupted by a
Health Inspector.
The Board of Health authorities are de-

breaking. j. Deely keeps a small grocery
at the corner of California and Lyon streets,

daughter, Marguerite, died from diphtheria
the case having been of the most malignant
type.
Inspector Burns of the Health Office mott

vice and tie burial must take place within
twenty-four hours, and yesterday he went
to the house to fumigate, expecting to find
the body gone and the place clear of visitors.
On the contrary and much to his surprise
he found the house crowded with friends
and funeral attendants and Father Dogan
right in the midst of a service. The coffin
was open and the house betrayed the pres
eIce of the remains dangerously plain.
Deely, so the inspector says, seemed to treat
the matter with the utmost uneoncera. The
authorities state that all the parties respun-
sible for the service will be arrested.

TEACH THEM TO WORK.

We mean little girls. AS mothers
are apt to get sick, and then house,
hold affairs generally get in disorder
unless generally somebody is ac1
quainted with the outs and ms of
household business, there is every
argument to prove that it is first
class economy and business sense to
educate children in that sort Of
work. Nothing worries household
more than to be driven to work when
she knows just enough about it to
get scolding and too little to make
it interesting to her. A girl that
knows how to make good biscuit,
good coffee and good everything
else, will like to show the elders in
the family how we'll she can do it.,
when her mother is laid up in sick
room, especially if her father and
brothers praise her a little. If she
is shown how to do it, when the do
nestle sky is calm and serene, she
will know how to be useful when the
storms come and every thing IS in
confusion from sickness.

HUMAN INSTINCT.

So powerful is human instinct,
that some of its suggestions become
embodied in social and household
customs. The people know and feel
that at the beginning of the spring
season the system needs an altera>
tive and a purifying tonic and slim
ulant. In all parts of the country
it is the custom of the housewife to
dose her brood with sassafras tea.
Among the simple remedies that our
ancestors employed, this decoction
has continued to hold it's own. The
demand for a. spring Alternative and
tonic, however, is filled more efica-
ciously by S. s. S., which is itself as
natures remedial medicine should
be. 1t purifes the blood, cleanses
and strengthens the system, and
prepares the human machine to
stard the wear and tear of the sum-
mer months.

SEEKING EMPLOYMENT.

Last week we had a fine robust
booking young man to stop into our
sanctum seeking employment. The
first question we propounded was,
are you printer, he answered in
the negative. We then asked if he
had trade, he said E'no.' We then
said to him farmer friend of ours
living few miles out of the city
wants a work hand. This seemed
to almost insult him. He said he
had been clerking in store in Ter
rell, Texas, and wanted a job of that
kind, and would not work on the
farm. During that day we came
across the following little article in
an exchange which we would be glad
to submit to him and his like fer
consideration:
If you are not needed to cut cali
CO, fire an engine, edit paper, ar
que court case, conduct train,
ETC., rest assured the world does not
need you tor an ornament. Shoulder
an axe, spade or grubbing hoe and
and hasten yourself to the country
farm. Dear old mother earth will
employ you and reward your toll.

to the surface in an agitation based
principally upon prejudice, but who
would never see the surface trusting
