A BilliOnaire.

Some years ago the brilliant but I'M
prosperous John Swinton said in his
New York paper that the early part
OF the twentieth century would see a
Millionaire in the United States-a per-
son with a thousand millions of money.
There is an Astor baby in New York
who is the only heir to one hundred
and fifty millions. The possessions of
the Vanderbilt family amount to two
hundred and fifty millions, and if they
increase as rapidly as since the Com
modore died, not many years will be
needed for a billion. When such peo-
pie travel, they have trains of superb
private cars. But you do not need to
be Millionaire, or even a millionaire.

our county and if elected will work
to promote the interests of our

portion of it. Messrs. Lee

ers and Sheets. But admitting for.
the sake Of argument that the Dem
ocrats will elect three Of their men,
Mr.. A. D. Cater, the Mile Laos
county man would not be one of
the three. Mr.. Cater halls from
the smallest county in the district
and is least known Of any Of the
candidates, and naturally he is the
weakest candidate, and even it
Dunn is defeated he cannot be
elected. Lee is bound to be
elected in any THE most
sanguine Democrat admits that
and Cater being the weakest can
didate on the Democratic ticket
is bound to be defeated. So if
Dunn is not elected Mile Laos
county will have no representa-
tive in the legislature. ... r..
Of course, Mr.. Stivers leads
Mr.. Cater to believe that his
chances of election are good, and
why? Every vote Mr.. Cater gets
away from Dunn Strengthens Sti-
vers, and enhances his chances of
election. Mr.. Stivers is using Mr..
Cater as a catspaw. He was put
on the ticket to be slaughtered.
However, we believe the entire
Republican Legislative ticket will
be elected by pluralities ranging
from 600 to 400. But let no
voter deceive himself with the be.
lief that Mr.. Cater can be elected.
MIR. Cater was put on the ticket
for the sole purpose of taking
votes away from Dunn, and we
repeat if Dunn is defeated Mile
Lacs county will have no repre-
sentative in the next legislature.

Mention should be made of the first
public school ever held on the Mile
Laos reservation which is now being
successfully taught by Miss Lille Hud-
son, formerly of Wisconsin, but who
ranks among the good teachers of Mile
Laos county. Supt. Mrs. Barker, who
visited the school last week was highly
pleased with the school and the bright
little class of earnest pupils found
there. She, with Mrs. Cowles, who
kindly accompanied her on the journey
were delighted with Mile Laos lake

high praise of the people they met
there, especially of Mr.. and Mrs. L. o.
Haskell who so generously entertained

Judge Sanderson rendered a long decision

George I. Coulter against Harriet f. Thorn

ure and sale Of 1000 shares of Virginia and

security, Joseph Aron and others claiming
an interest in the securities.
The question was whether he had a valid

therefore entitled to subject the same to the
payment of his claim against Coulter. The
case was tried in Alameda County before

10 lay over at Park-street station for fifteen
minutes. BY continuing on TO San Leandr0,
via MelrOse, il is claimed that the desired
service could be granted without putting on
extra trains. The Southern Pacific people,
however, say that il would be an expensive
change; that San Leandro's present train
service is excellent, and that no increase VIII
be made at present.
The Southern Pacific people are working

to the effect that Judge Brewer of the Ne

the ilegality Of the contract under which
the telegraph lines of the Union Pacific
Railroad are operated by the Western Union,
and had directed that the road operate its
own lines, recalls the fact that two similar
suits are now pending in the United States
Circuit Court Of this circuit.
They are entitled: United States We rsus
Central Pacific Railroad Company, South
ern Pacific Railroad Company aud the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, aud the
United States versus Southern Pacific Com
pany, Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
Atlantic and Pacific Company and the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
by an act OF Congress it was required that
railroads receiving Government aid should
operate their own telegraph lines, but they
have not done go and have contracted with
the Western Union TO have their telegraplic
work done on the Unions lines. 1t was to
destroy this combination that suits were
brought. and according to Judge Brewer
they are likely to succeed, although the
matter will yet be taken to the Supreme
Court In all probability.

Ais Victim, DollIe Stone, Goes Home

George Harvey was tried before Jury in
Department l of the Police Court yesterday
afternoon on a charge of having induced
Dollie Stone to enter a house of bad rspute.
The Maynard Sacramento girl took the
stand and told how Harvey had induced
her 10 enter a den on Morton street and
how he had shared her earnings. She said
that she had worked as a bousekeeper before
Harvey met her, and denied that she had
told Officer Anthony that Harvey had moth

Officer Crockett deposed that after DOliie's
arrest she said that Harvey had nothing to
do with her appearance in the house Of bad
repute.
Policeman Anthony, who figured so con-
spicuously In the case at first, permitting
Harvey to escape, was glib witness. He
said that when he arrested Dollie for
vagrancy she said that Harvey had nothing
TO DO with her, and that he had tried TO in
duce her TO return 10 her home in Sacra-
mento. When convicted OF vagraney she
said that Harvey was responsible, ana that
if she went 10 Jail lie would have TO 60, too.
a delegation from the Sacramento police
force, beaded by Captain Lee, were called
as witnesses for the defense. The officers
swore that Harney's reputation in Sacra-
mentO is good.
Two young fellows named George Fiske
and Richard Fiske tried TO help out Harvey
10y saying that Dollie had bad reputation,
but their testimony was ruled out.
Dolie Stone. who is over 10 years old aud
rather good-lo0king, created sensational

Many pieces of street work proposed by
the Board of Supervisors within the last
week or two we're stopped by majority pro-
tests presented to the Street Committee
yesterday.
Among the number are the following:
Paving of the crossing of OFarrell and
Fillmore streets with bitumen; Page, be-
tween Scott and Devisadero; paving Hsrri-

there was no need OF ii, and Burling con-
tradieted him point blank. Burling said it

defeat much needed work, and did not
protest was sustained, however, and no
blood spilled.
1t was decided TO report in favor Of the
change Of grade on Seventeenth street, be-
tween Douglas and Ashbury.
In the consideration of bids for street
work 1t was found that j. Is. Garland was
in many cases the lowest bidder. BurliDg
said he was opposed to awarding any con-
tracts TO Garland, because in past cases
his pavement had been found inferior and
could not be accepted. 1t was finally de-
cided, however to give him the work and
hold him down TO the specifications. His
bid on paving with bitumen was q cents a
foot for crossings and % cents on other
parts Of streets.
T, H. Brakeman protested against the con-
stIuction of the sewer to the bay for an out
let of the Point LObOs system, his reason
being that the private property through
which II passed would not be assessed.
George Fletcher, PRESIDENT of the Point
LObOs Improvement Club, said Bake man
represented the Twenty-seventh avenue
Commissioners, and, besides. the protest
was too late. The protest was denied.

line on Bay street, from Powell to the sea-

would prevent any other company from
