DAVIES VICTORIOUS. q

The Ex-County Clerk Not Liable for Ger
tain Fees Collected.
VIII en- William A. Davies became County
Clerk he was pledged to his party to keep
the expenses of his office within the limit
of $1,000 per month, and in order to do this
he was obliged to reduce the number of his
clerks, and, therefore, when documents
such as transcripts on appeal were handed
him to compare with the original papers he
had no regular employe to perform the
work. But one course was TO be pursued,
and that to engage some one outside to
make the comparisons.
Here difficulty arose. How was he to
pay these extra hands? Not out of his own
pocket, and not out OF the Treasury. His
only resource was to charge a nominal
fee. This he did, and in the course of his
administration collected from attorneys,
who sought his services in this be-
of which he Paid to the extra hands.
Mr.. Davies also found it necessary to col
lect 10 cents apiece for all copies OF notices
mailed to creditors in insolvency proceed
ngs, and tine money so collected aggregated
S134 40, which, with the other sum of $500,
he faithfully kept an account of and paid
out in the course OF his official duty
But in the course Of time Mr. Davies
term also expired and then the city and
county of San Francisco swooped down
on him and demanded payment of the
money. Mr.. Davies resisted and the matter
soon found its way before Judge Sander
son, who yesterday decided in the ex-offi-
cial's favor. AS to the $500, the court de-
cded that it was not the property of the

ARHI4GE.

A Writer Wants to Know IL 1t Is "A De-
cIining Institution.
1t is singular coincidence that at the
moment when the beginning of the move
ment for the larger liberty of women was
celebrated, the question should be largely
discussed whether marriage Is a declining
institution, and thatan accomplished woman
should maintain that it is. This might be a
d'sagreeaale post hoe propter hoe. Mrs Kate
GaBnett Wells thinks that the indspOsition
among women to marry Is due to philan-
throphy, higher education and self-analysis.
The woman interests herself in human
welfare rather than in man j; the cultivation
OF her intellect is more charming than that
of the heart, and her mind measures, with
tile precision OF spiritual laboratory, the
comparative advantages OF marriage and cell
