The sum of the whole matteris: Don't worry
Worry is the disease which, as Mr.. Homans
says, kills more patients than any other Let
things GO. Get up late in the morning and go
to bed early at night Never run after the
cable cars DON'T tear along the street as If
you had check for sl00J, which must be
cashed before 3 o'clock. Be content to leave
things undone.
That is one of the great secrets OF Iife-the
art of leaving things undone. Add 20 that the
art of leaving things unsaid, and you are well
along toward the procession of good old age.
My dear friend, spare yourself. You are not
anything like SO necessary as you think YOU
are. Some men have an idea that even the
Supreme Manager cannot get along without
them. If they take day off, the whole mil
lennIum will be indefinitely postponed. And by
and by they get sick, and the big machine runs
right along. Or they die, and everything goes
on, even better than before.

The apple tree stands where 1t always stood,
In nook of the orchard green:
And the blossoms have hidden the moss grown

With a garment of silver sheen.
And think OF the days, when leapt and ran
Tocimb on the blooming bOugh;
And the thoughts Of the boy come back to the
All! would that then were now!
But a second thought trips on the heels of the
first;
IT'S late on Sabbath morn,
And the seam in the back of my coat is burst,
And the scat of my pants is torn;
q Meath hi the apple tree white II N mute.
The minutes fly BY and I've been tanned
For spelling my Sunday suit.
The apples are red where the white bloom grew
And again on the tree lean.
I've just been telling my love to sue
For Sue has said with toss of her head
That she's promised her hand to Brown,
A fellow whose hair is fiery red
But the wealthiest man In town.
And the more look at the blooming tree,
AS memories rise and wane
I'm not so sure t'were well for me
For the past come back again
For it's pleasanter far to spank my boy
For tearing his sunday clothes-.-
And Sue, old Brown wish you Joy
And so do you, don't You Roses

ROTE-SING[NG.
It Is Discussed by the School
Principals.

Superintendent John SWEET presided at
the meeting of the School Principals Asso-
citation, which was held yesterday afternoon
In the Odd Fellows BuildGg. Few Of the
principals were absent. After the routine
business had been transacted Miss r. +.
English, Assistant Inspectress OF Schools,
real 4 paper on "Rote-Singing.
Referring to music in the public schools,
Miss English said: It is a source of pleas
ure to the children. 1t affords rest to teacher
AID pupils and trains the ear to distinguish
between soft musical sounds and those that
are harsh and disagreeable. Referring to
the voice. she said its faulty qualities were
due-frst, to imitation of tones heard in
tie str,At, at home and maybe in the school
room; second, noisy concert exercises and
sing-song methods Of reciting, and third, dit
fdence or bashfulness, and gave the teachers
her ideas Of how the faults might be recti-
fed by them. Rote-si uging, she urged,
rightly used is the very foundation Of
musical superstruction. Teach r0te-slng-
ing, and by all means teach independent
singing OF eacn class.
a discussion followed the reading of the
paper, in which Principal Prior deprecated
the teaching Of singing by notes IN the
schools. and Mr.. Babcock expressed HIM
self in favor Of having more singing by the
pupils.
Assistant Superintendent Madison Bah
Geek next addressed the principals. During
his address he said: During the past
month l find that 10000 children attended
the schools in this city. Those who are in-
terested in them will appreciate the work
you principals are dong. While the teach
eTS do the work, tie principals are response
bic. l hope the time will soon come when
the principals Will be called upon to consult
as TO the kind OF teachers that shall be
placed in their class-rOoms. As Boards Of
Education come and 60 teachers are called
from the class-rooms by vote to be princi-
pals, and many of them do not appreciate
the work devolving on a principal"
After referring ct length to the duties of
principals and teachers, who, he said,
should have more than an Intellectual edu-
cation, and should on no account be trans
ferred without urgent reasons, he con-
tinued: "a teacher should be as near as
possible perfect animal, and a principal
should be a physically perfect animal. A
person suffering from diseased liver would
have hard road to travel as principal OF a
school. Principals should be firm, smooth
aud pleasant in manner, should attend to
tie niceties Of voice. dress, habits, etc, and
above all things should sit Titlr their teach
ers and help them along"
The Chairman announced that Edward
Everett Hale would soon visit the city, aud
committee, consisting of Mrs. NJ. Kin
caid, Miss L. A. Cleveland, Mr.. j. Il. Ham
iiton aud Mr.. NJ. +. Morton, was appointed
to tender him reception by the principals
on his arrival.

Title Disputed of DoubIy Mortgaged Prop
erty.
The French Bank has brought suit against
John G. Hall, the embeZzer, who is under
Indictment by the Grand Jury for his pecu-
liar financial dealings with his clients. The
title of the suit is La Societe Franchise DEP
argues ct de Prevoyance Mutuelle VS.. John
c. Hall, Firemen's Fund Insurance Com
pany. Arthur Rogers. Harriet d. Hawley,
John Doe and Richard Roe.
The real fight is between the French
Bank and the Fremen's Fund Insurance
Company. II will be remembered that aft or
Hall had squandered both the Hawley and
the Baldwin estates, and had run through
all his own property he began to devise
specious means to raise money with which
he fondly hoped to recover himself. He had
property on Clay and Buchanan streets, and
this he mOrtgaged Tor three or four times it,
value.
His trick was to raise money on first mort
cages. He gave two first mortgages on the
Clay-street property-one to the French
Bank and one to the Firemen's Fund Insur-
ance C0mpany-fOr $1,000. From the first
both the bank and insurance company have
claimed priority to these mortgages, but it
will remain for the court to decide this
knotty point, for Hall had so doctored the
records that considerable investigation will
be needed to arrive at the true state of al
fairs.
In its suit the French Bank alleges that all
the defendants named claim some lien, title,
interest or right in the Clay-street property,
and the court is asked to adjudicate the
matter as between all the claimants, and 10
award plaintiff the sum of 5000, if the prop
erty can be sold for that amount over and

DU ROSE ON TRIAL.
A Delay Caused by a Jurors
Confession.

The trial of Albert du Rose for the killing
of his wife, Lizzie du Rose, on January 9th
last at an Ellis-street lodging house, prom
Uses to be unique in many respects.
The preliminary proceedings came to a
very unexpected termination yesterday.
When the case was called in Judge Troutts
court in the morning the work of selecting
jury was at once begun.
do you believe man can become in
sane for the time being because of his wife's
infidelity?"
This was one of the questions asked by
Attorney James Long, who, with j. n. L.
Wilson, has been retained by the defense,
which clearly outlined the policy of the de-
Tense.
On the other hand Assistant District At
torney HiEckle was careful to ask each
juror whether he had scruples against in
fiicting capital punishment
A jury was secured in two hours, without
the loss OF single peremptory challenge by
either side. This in itself is an unusual oc-
currence, and was remarked as such by all
present.
After the noon adjournment Attorney
Hinckle outlined the case for the people,
describing very infinitely the details of the
fatal occurrence; telling how the erring
wife was in the habit of visiting Alfred
Mitchell at his room in the ElliS-Street

on the eight of January 9th and tried to in
duce his wife to come home with him, and
how. falling in his entreaties, he became en-
ragged, and fired the shot that sped to its
fatal mark. He expected to prove, he said,
that the shooting was in cold blood, was
premeditated, and that the shot was fired
while the defendant was in full possession
of all his mental faculties.
Attorney Hinckle had no sooner resumed
his seat than one OF the jurors, Alfred
Earle, arose and explained to the court that
now, after hearing the District Attorneys
remarks, he recalled the case perfectly, and
remembered that he had once formed an
opiaion as to Du Roses guilt.
Further questioning brought out the fact
that Mr.. Earle had come to the conclusion
that Du Rose was guilty of the crime
charged.
He was excused on a peremptory chal-
lenge, and the case was necessarily adj
journed until Monday morning, when the
twelfth juror will be secured.

An Incident of the Butter Market-High
Prices in the East.

An Incident of the Butter Market-High
Prices in the East.
Some weeks ago an entelpriSing produce
dealer in Iowa thought he saw chance OF
turning dollar by sending butter to Cali
fornia. lie accordingly loaded car with
10000 pounds of the choicest creamery
product and consigned it to San Francisco
commission house. Its arrival has kept
butter below the dollar mark for several
d avs The warm rains coming on then
threw the product away down, and once
more placed it on the breakfast-tables of
modest hOusekeepers.
Before the Eastern man thought it posi-
bic that his consignment was sold, the biz
yards and snow-StOrms paid their annual
visit to the Middle States. Butter ran away
up beyond California figures, and the speeu-
latOr saw another dollar in sight could he
only get the carload back again. Accord
ingly he wired his consignees to reShip the
consignment.
Three-quarters of the butter had been
sold, however, when the telegram was re-
ceived. But the commission men loaded up
what was left, and scurrying around among
their competitors soon had sufficient to
make up a carload. This was shipped, and
in couple of days the citizens of Iowa will
be enjoying the luxury of California butter,
while the speculative middleman is rejoicing
over his tWO-fOd profit.

The proponents have scored point in the
Dana will contest by defeating Attorney
Kowalsky's motion to strike out DR.. Tis-
dale's testimony, Judge Coffey having de-
cided in their favor as TO the much-mooted
question.
At the hearing yesterday j. G. Baston
was placed on the stand by Mr., Lloyd, but
having no Testimony material to the issue
to give he was excused, and was followed
by A. Ii. Schmidt, cashier of the German
Savings and Loan Society, in which Dana
was a depositor. The witness, having
had an acquaintance with Dana as de-
postor, identified certain papers, and when
asked in cross examination whether he
could detect any difference between the sig
nature to the alleged will and that in the
token-bOok of the bank, said that, with the
exception of certain minor particulars, no
material difference existed.
The counsel then Intercepted the wit
ness as to the points OF diSsimilarity and re-
semblance. and by use of the papers on file
and also the charts and blackboard, cOm-
parsons of the two signatures were made
and autographed peculiarities pointed
out. The testimony given was manlteStly
favorable to the proponents.

The Deputy Postmaster VIII Take Charge
of the Internal Revenue.
The question of a successor in the Inter
nal Revenue Collectorship was settled by the
appointment yesterday of Deputy POstmas-
ter John c. Quinn to that position by Presi-
dent Harrison upon the recommendation Of
the California delegation.
The place was made vacant about ten days
ago by the death of W. II. Sears, and among
the candidates were John c. Quinn, Deputy
Postmaster Of this city; McCusick, formerly
Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service /;
II. Il. Osborne of o5sAngeles, Congressman
Nandever of the Sixth District, and Senator
Heacock Of Santa Barbara.
Messrs. Osborne and Quinn were from the
first the strongest in the fight, and it was not
until the California delegation lent its unan-
imnus influence that either gained over the
other. As the delegation went the appoint
ment was sure 10. 1t is considered a good
position, both for the remuneration and the
patronage.
John {. Quinn was born in Placer County
thirty-three years ago and Is, consequently,
the youngest Collector in the United States.
At one time he conducted a foundry at
North Beach, and he is practical molder.
