News Hard to Find, as the Prize
Fight Held the Field.

Every department of the Southern Pacific
system was swarming with busy clerks and
officials yesterday who were trying to catch
up the thread Of their routine work after a
days vacation in the Santa Cruz Noun
tains. Those who were so fortunate as to
be square by the noon lunch season de-
voted the spare hours left them to Yigor-

callers. In fact so permeating was the in

The CALL reporter approached the desk of
one of the highest railroad magnates and
asked for an item of news he was asked in
return, What do your readers want of any
railroad items OH the eve Of this great prize
fght?"
The reporter ventured to suggest that he
was one of those whose early education and
confirmed principles were opposed to such
exhibitions, and he was glad to belong to
that small band which refused TO bend the
knee to Baal. This sober declaration did
not impress the railroad magnate in the
least, for he said, my dear sir, how lone
some you must feel to-day" After this
DEPRESSION the request for an item was re-
peated, hut the search was futile beyond
the general statement that business is salts
factory. Ia the land department number
of purchasers were found with checks in
payment of their recent investments in rail-
road lands.

II IS NO DERoGATIoN
The Jurors should BE Women.

Editor Morning Call: The Sacramento
Bee some time ago said: A jury in Grand
Rapids, Mich, has awarded verdict of
cents to a young woman in an action for
breach of promise. 1t was undoubtedly
gallantry rather than justice that moved the
jurors to favor the girl just enough to put
the cost Of suit on the man defendant
These conditions suggest that men ought
not to be permitted to decide questions
where a woman's heart and woman's love
are the issue. Juries in such cases ought to
be composed OF women and not of men.
Man is untitled for the task OF weighing in
the nice balance of equity womau's af-
lection on one side and bag OF gold on the
other. The womanly sense of Justice and
her keen appreciation OF the suffenngs of
the disappointed of her sex, are just the
qualities jurors in breach Of promise cases
demand, and they make a combination that
cannot be found in all creation outside of
he ranks OF the gentler sex
Commenting upon this opinion the editor
of the Corning Observer says: We agree
with the Bee. 1t is one man out of a thou
sand that would do justice to young wO-
mFn whose affections had been tritied with
simply because most of them have violated
the same law. This is another great fact
why women should be considered as citizens,
ana be affected by the same law as males, as
the Constitution first ordained. Before our
Constitution, no one, except our Savior, ever
rerOgl Zed woman as equal to man.
Evidently the agitation which these inn
p0rtans questions has received on this Coast
Is beg inning to bear fruit, and, in California
at least the opinion Is spreading that wo-
man as we'll as man may claim the right to
trial by jury OF her peers.
just how soon the blast of right public
opinion in these matters will sweep over the
land and Gear the atmosphere OF the clouds
OF oppression and injustice that darken the
horizon OF the woman question we may
not say, but these two little straws are use.

The Bar Association Pays Him High
Tribute.
AT meeting of the Bar Association yes
terday a memorial sketch Of the late John
f. Swift. prepared by Warren Olney, Ed
ward r. Taylor and Seldom S. Wright, was
adopted. The deceased was admitted to
the bar in this city in 1857. Had not his
political and literary activities turned much
of his life into other channels ne would
doubtless have attained the highest rank
as a lawyer. "His intelligence was so high
and of such rich quality, his information
was so wide and various. his knowledge of
men and their methods was so great, his ap-
prehension OF general principles was so pen
etrating and acute, that in every litigation
he undertook he became as marked u per-
s0naiity as he vas in any other OF his many
fields of action. He was much more than
self-made man. He was an educated man,
polished gentleman, citizen Of the world.
But still, above and beyond that even, was
his earnest sympathy with the best of
human aspirations, his zeal for truth and
right"
