The nrosecntion then rested lis case.

For the defense DR.. c. o. Deane of San
Francisco testified that he had fshed in the
waters of Paper-mll Creek ior eighteen
years past. He had caught fish seventy-five
yards above and below the mill and in his
opinion they were healthy. He also testified
that he generally fished on Sunday. and that
the mill was not in operation on that day
and. of course, it allowed the fish clear
water.
Charles F. Precht OF San Francisco testi-
fed that he had caught fish above and be-
low the mill, but that fishing above the mill
was better. and he generally ished on Sun
days.
J. F. Taylor, brother OF the defendant,
took the stand, and related to the jury the
process Of making paper. According TO his
testimony the mill is running on a very
saving scale, as far as allowing lime and
other substances to pass into the water is
concerned.
The defense then closed the case, and
Taylor's counsel argued the matter at
length, repeatedly stating to the jury the
effects upon the county of Marin il the case
was decided against him. The mill would
be shut down. he said, which would be
detrimental to the tax list and would throw
many men out of employment. This line Of
argument had lis effect, and after being cut
ten minutes the jury returned verdict Of
not guilty.
Popular opinion here Is decidedly against
this verdict, and the Fish Commissioners
will reopen the case.

 Instead of a Corpse.
 ''At M onte Carlo few days ago was witness of the following peculiar incl, dent" writes correspondent of the Chicago Herald. "I was seated at a table in the cafe of the Paris hotel, which adjoins the Casino, with a group of tourists, when a haggard and dis heveled Frenchman entered hurriedly. called for glass of absinthe, and, seat ing himself, proceeded to write vigor- ously on sheet of note paper in front of him. My attention was attracted by his appearance and evident nervous ness, and my interest was deepened when I saw him take from his pocket a gold-plated revolver. He examined the weapon very carefully, as though he contemplated using it, and wanted to see that it was in proper order, then hastily putt back in his pocket and re- sumed his writing.
 'By this time the attention of the whole group had been attracted to the man, especially as they saw him re- move the revolver from his pocket and toy with it nervously. A stout, horid Englishman sat near me. He leaned over and whispered to me: My deah fellah, the chap means to do away with himself, l take it. Then, before I could reply, he quickly turned to the Frenchman and said: You wish to sell that weapon, sir?'
 ''The Frenchman drew back in aston ishment. He gazed in amazement at the Englishman and hesitated as if he had been insulted. Then there appar- ently ensued revulsion of feeling, for smile overspread his haggard face as he exclaimed, with a shrug of the shoulders: If you wish, sir.'
 'He placed the revolver mechanically upon the table and picked up the gold pieces laid down by the Englishman. Then he drank his absinthe with seem ing satisfaction. He frightened up. His entire manner underwent change. A few minutes later he walked leisure ly out of the cafe and we saw him again enter the Casino. The English. man and myself concluded to follow him. We were surprised to find on en- tering that luck was evidently with him, for small pile of gold and silver l lay before him on the roulette table. We learned later from one of the at tendants that he had won twelve hun dred francs"

An Adventure with a Big Mountain Lion
 in New Mexico.
 'I once had an adventure in New Mexi- co that made terrific draft on my nervous system" said Walter Phelps to St. Louis Globe-Democrat man. "I had set out to walk from the station to the ranch of an old friend, some four miles out, and when I had covered about half the distance gigantic mountain lion came sidling up to me.
 ''1 had not even a pocketkn1fe, and, as the fiction grinders say, my feelings can better be imagined than described When few feet distant he stopped and looked me over, and I thought he was trying to make up his mind what DOT tion he preferred for breakfast. had heard much of the power of the human eye, and proceeded to put on the most tragic frown and to stare at him fixed ly. This so overcame him that he sat down on his launches and batted his eyes lazily. I continued to stare and frown, and he came slowly up to me, rubbed his head against my trembling knees and made purring sound that resembled giant coffee mill in motion. He was evidently not hungry.
 '1 walked slowly along in the direc- tion of the ranch, and that powerful cat continued to rub against my limbs and purr. There was not tree or house for the entire distance, and the brute stuck to me like a cookie burr to a merino sheep. When I rapped at the door he got down and made his toilet by rubbing his big paws over his face. When my friend opened the door found that had inadvertently dropped | my voice along the road somewhere. I could only point to my companion as I hastily scrambled inside. My pet, said he; raised him from a kitten; harm | less as dove and sociable as grass l widOyv'"

affinities. The greatest of all discover CTS was himself destined to wed the daughter of discoverer.
 ] Columbus often went to mass on Sun, days and other obligatory days. His residence in Lisbon being near the con. vent of All Saints, he .resorted thithel to perform his devotions, and in his as- siduous attendance there it was his fate to be attracted by Dona Felipa Muniz until he sought and obtained her in marriage.
 l The affection of Columbus for the young Lusitanian doubtless possessed practical features also in view of the sailors desire to live for the realiza. tion in his riper age of the work already l fully planned in the latter years of his iexuberant youth Moreover, credit. ing his contemporaries as we should the incomparable pilot displayed two traits capable of turning the head twill not say of Dona Felipa but oi every woman-eloquence and personal 'attractiveness.
 His many graces captivated her senses his eloquence, her mind. Felipa Muniz daughter of Phillipone Peretrello, and Christopher Columbus were made one in conformity with religion and law in holy indissoluble wedlock, in the year 1471. The year following thei1 union son was born to them who was batized in Lisbon and named Diego.

 The feast of the Ascension was Ehe day of his death; and he died robed in Franciscan habit, as his beloved queen and protector had done.
 The cold and heartless Ferdinand gave Columbus a grand funeral, think ing to do himself honor by it, and seven years afterwards he reared to Columbus a marble tomb, whose inscription has since become famous, both for itself and the memory of him who lay be- meath.
 His remains were afterwards taken to Seville and placed with the body of his son Diego in the monastery of Las Cuevas.
 In 1856 they were exhumed-those of father and son-and transported across the Atlantic to the island of San Do mingo, which had been named by Co., lumbus Hispaniola and was the princi- pal settlement of his own discoveries in his own time.
 In 179e, after the cession of San Do- mingo ta the French, they were again dug up and placed in the cathedral of Havana. There they now repose under peculiar monument. There is claim that the real remains were not removed.
 There would be poetic justice in plac- ing the tomb of Columbus in San Do- mingo, the island with which his great est activity as discoverer is associated, and the place where with the timbers of his wrecked flagship he built the first European habitation in America. The chains placed on him by Babadilla dur ing his imprisonment, and which he de clared should be removed by no less au- thority than that of his royal master and mistress, he kept in his study after wards as memorial and ordered that they should be buried with him.

 The Spanish committee having the matter in charge have made careful ex- aminations of all obtainable data to in, sure that the vessels shall be in every detail which can be definitely deter mined exact copies of the original Co lumbus vessels.
 In connection with this subject Q Madrid periodical says:
 "A great deal of data of very varied character has been obtained, but noth- ing that would give the exact details sought, because, doubtless, the vessels of that time varied greatly, not only in the form of their hulls, but also in their rigging, as will be seen by an examina- tion of the engravings and paintings of the fifteenth century, and as there was no ship that could bear the generic name of 'caravcl,' great confusion was caused when the attempt was made to state, with scientific certainty, what the caravels were.'
 The word ''caravel'' comes from the Italian car bella; and with this ethnology it is safe to suppose that the name was applied to those vessels on account of the grace and beauty of their form, and finally was applied to the light vessels which went ahead of the fleets as dispatch boats. Nevertheless, we think we have very authentic data, perhaps all that is reliable in the letter of Juan de Ia Casa, Columbus pilot. From his drawings and the descrip- tions of the days runs in the part marked incidents of Columbus log," it is ascertained that these vessels had two sets of sails, lateens for sailing
