A Libel Suit Over Lone Widow and a
Meal

Antelope valley has once more come
to the front, and this time distinguishes
itself by supplying what promises to be
a genuine sensation. The second chap
ter, which is now in process of enact
ment, consists OF suit for criminal
lbelS the principals being c. A. Ladd, of
the Antelope Valley Times, and s. Y.
Lee, ofthe Lancaster Gazette. VI
There has been anything but pleas
ant feeling between the two gentlemen
for some time, and the matter culminat-
ed some days since, when Lee published
an article rejecting in no pleasing man
ner on the editor of the Times. Ladd
at once had Lee arrested, and he was
taken before Justice Morris OF Lancas-
ter, on Saturday last, Constable Mayes
serving the warrant.
Lee furnished bonds in the sum of
$780, and his case was set for hearing
on the 10th inst. The district attorney
has been requested to send deputy up
to Lancaster to assist in the prosecution
of the case, and as there is very strong
feeling between the two editors it is
likely that the trial will be lively one.
The article in question is a short one in
which Ladd is pictured as being not
what he should be, and accusing him of
having entered lone widows dwelling
in her absence and appropriating to
himself a meal.

start. Senator Stanford and wife, by deed
of trust in 1877, conveyed to the use OF
the university their magnificent estates,
comprising $1,000 acres of the finest wheat
and fruit lands in the state, cash enough
to complete all the buildings and enough
more to make the total endowment at
least $25O00,OO0. All this as a memorial
to their dead son.
For president of the institution they
have selected Dr. David Starr Jordan, al
most giant in body as in mind, and he
is now organizing the faculty He was
born in Gainesville, N. Y, about forty
years ago, graduated at an early age from
Cornell university, and soon became noted
for scientific Investigations, especially the
study of fishes. After experience as teacher
and lecturer in various places, DR.. Jordan,
in 1875, became professor of biology in
Butler university, Indianapolis, and in
1879 was chosen president of the State uni
versity at Bloomington. He held that
position until called to the California in
stitution.

but the Franco Prussian war of 1870 broke
out while he was at home on leave, and all
his soul was on fire to help France.
Great Britain had commanded her sub
jects to be neutral, but Captain MacAdaras
secretly organized about 5000 Irishmen,
pledged all his available means for their
pay and equipment, and went to Paris to
concert plan for making descent on the
north coast of Prussia. Before he could
get his force in condition all was lost in
France and he was threatened with arrest.
He crossed the channel in fishing boat
and hastened to Paris, but nothing re-
mained save to assist in the final struggle.
He saved part of his fortune, married an
American lady from St. Louis and became
an enthusiastic and popular Frenchman
He and his wife are among the favorites in
Partisan society, and their house is the re-
sort of prominent soldiers.

DR.. sivartha,s Lectures.

DIR. Sivartha and Mrs. S. S. Lightfoot
will give series of interesting lectures,
illustrated with the great paintings of
the New Jerusalem. Ladies are cordially
invited to attend Mrs. S. S. Lightfoot's
lecture on Thursday evening next. (See
advertising columns.) Her aim is to
establish medical institute in this city.
The San Diego Union speaks of her in
the following commendatory terms:
''Mrs. Lightfoot's lecture in Horton
hall last evening was quite success.
Her manner of handling the very inter
esting theme of health and happiness
was original, her language and style
chaste and elegant. DR.. Sivartha had
an English nativity, May 16, 1884. His
parentage mingled the blood of both
Orient and Occident, and he thus in
herited broad sympathy for more than
one race OF men.
Brought to this country at the age of
years, large part of his life has been
spent in this country. He seemed born
with an instinct for his peculiar field OF
work and discovery"
The scientific works of DR.. Sivartha
are extensively used in the schools and
colleges of this and other countries. He
treats in striking way all the great
religious problems of the day. DR..
Sivartha holds that the methods oi
exact science not only apply to all ques-
tions of religion, but must also guide in
the entire reorganization of society.

to run at large. Mr.. Pierce claims that
he never intended to shoot the woman,
but that he was after dog belonging
to her, which was chasing his cattle.
He says also that he did not even see
her at the time he shot at the dog. The
lady came to town yesterday and swore
to the complaint, and the warrant for
Pierce's arrest was issued accordingly.

A Champion OF Ghosts.

w. T. Stead, who Is always with the
under dog in the fight, stands forth
ready to break q lance in defense of
ghosts. His Review Of Reviews for De-
cember will contain an assortment Of
well authenticated ghost stories. Wher-
ever strange appearances and expert
ences have been encountered by any per-
son who is willing to sign his name as
evidence Of veracity, Mr.. Stead invites
this individual to write down the story
of them and send 1t to him for publica-
tiUn.
Mr. Stead does not say whether the
appearance he classes under the head Of
ghosts are separations. hallucinations OF
even real spirits. He inclines to think
the apparitions cannot all be accounted
for under the head of Authorizations, but
even where they can thus be accounted
for they will be q valuable contribution
to psychic science, such contributions as
Mr.. Stead thinks the world stands great
ly In need Of at this stage of its progress.
He himssR Is thoroughly in earnest in
the belief that there are genuine appear
ances and experiences outside the realm
Of the material senses. As to those who
laugh to scorn these apparitions as lies
and decisions, Mr.. Stead characterizes
their amusement as the "laughterof fools
which the wise man Of old compared to
the cracking Of thorns under pot"

American Art.

A fair summing up of the present con-
dition of American art appears in The
Century, from the pen Of Francis D.
Millet, vice president of America lead
ing art organization, the National Acad-
envy Of Design. We as a people became
conscious Of our artistic deficiencies after
the Philadelphia exposition and at once
sought to remedy them. After the close
Of that summer Of education in 1875 art
schools and art museums began to spring
up throughout the country. Before then
many American artists had studied in
Europe, after that they went across to
foreign art schools more than ever.
They have now come home in numbers,
and the result Of their education and Of
their subsequent labors Is to some ex-
tent manifest.
To begin, our American artists have
proved apt scholars. They reproduce
the teaching of their foreign masters
with careful labor and fidelity. With
such care and fidelity, indeed. that when
their pictures are hung upon the walls
Of galleries with foreign paintings they
cannot be distinguished from the foreign
work by anything in either subject or
treatment. This, Mr.. Millet thinks, is
| the chief criticism to be made on our
native pictures. American art is nowlin
that stage Of development in which it Is
able to execute with distinguished skill
in the methods of Others" But for the
rest we are ''still In the leading strings
Of school tradition and the glorifcation
of technique
There Is no such thing as an Ameri-
can school of art or American style in
the, treatment of a picture. But our
progress is full Of Shope. The artists
who have been educated abroad have
devoted themselves faithfully to teach
/ ing those beginners who are at home.
So the fundamental principles have
been well grounded. The rest will
come. The field most attractive that
lies Immediately before the American
artist is that Of portraiture. We have
q national type Of feminine beauty dis
] tinguished for symmetry and refine
ment; we have strongly accentuated
masculine type" The typical American
face Is nervous, high strung and keen,
possessing great elements Of beauty. To
reproduce this face will be one Of the
first achievements Of the American
school Of art. Finally, in the art insti-
tuition which Mr.. Carnegie has presented
TO Pttsburg, with its income Of go, 600
. year, we have the greatest and richest
art museum In the world. The feature
Of most interest to the American art
world Is moreover the tact that 90 pen
cant. Of the money spent there for pho.
lures must purchase works Of art pro
duced IN this country.

physicians to write their prescriptions
legibly in the future. In America,
where prescriptions frequently look
like the uncertain perambulations of a
spider that had fallen into an ink bot

harm. The one drawback is that pa
tients might know what they are called
upon to swallow and doctors believe
it would never do to give them that
information. &.
