Entirely Dead.

While the gently falling rain was doing the
best business that could be done for San Diego
county to-day, group of old-timers gathered
in an uptown office and fell to telling oIdtime
stories, says the San Die01n. One of the stories
told was in the form of joke on Julian. as
Julian was in the old times, of course. An old
miner named Tim was found dead in his cabin
one morning. said the story teller. There an
peared to be lingering idea that Sometime
official ought to be done, but nobody knew ex
actly what until a stranger In camp said an in
quest ought to be held to determine whether
the man was dead or not.
But how shall we find that out?" asked the
justice OF the peace, whose position forced him
to the front.
why, by holding regular inquiry" was the
answer.
IAN right" said the Justice, well hold a
regular inquiry. Bring in the body"
The body was brought in and the court was
called to order. When everybody was quiet the
justice rose with commendable dignity, walked
over to the side of the decea sed, and, leaning
over, shouted in the dead mans ear: ''Say, Tim,
come take a drink" OF course there was no
answer. The inquiry" was repeated three
times Then the justice returned to his bench
to make this announcement: 1--WE find that Finn
is dead" said he. ANY man in Julian that
won't get up and take a drink when he's asked
to is dead, This inquiry is closed"

The commissioners act Promptly.

The Commissioners let Promptly
A day or two ago the MORNING NEWS, in
commenting on the statement Of DR.. Le-
( Hardy. medical director Of the Citizens
/ Sanitary Association, that Casey's canal and
other important drains in the vicinity Of
the city were choked up, expressed the opin-
{ ion that if the city should be visited by
sickness in an epidemic form next summer
I the county commissioners would be held
/ responsible for 1t If the drains were not
/ opened. At a meeting Of the commissioners
( yesterday afternoon a resolution was passed
directing County Engineers Blandford and
Thomas to take the entire chain-gang force
and clean out and put in good condition
all the drainage canals and bitches,
including Caseys canal. in the vicinity of
the city. IL is understood that this work
will be begun within a week.
It is a source of satisfaction that the
county commissioners have acted In this
matter so promptly. There is no doubt that
the canals and bitches in the vicinity of the
city are in a bad condition. During the
heavy rains last fall good deal Of land
drained by Casey's canal was overhowed,
and there were complaints then that the
canal needed attention. 1t is highly i'm
portant that all the territory near the city
should be well drained. As long as it is
there need be little apprehension of serious
sickness of any kind.
1t cost the county great deal of money
every year to keep the canals and bitches in
the neighborhood of the city open, and the
cost will continue to be a heavy burden
upon the taxpayers unless under-drains are
put in or the law prohibiting cattle from
running at large is adopted. The open
drains are ruined by cattle that push the
soft earth into them in crossing them or In
trying to get water.
Efforts have been made to adopt the law
which requires cattle to be kept within en-
closures. but the few white people and the
many colored people who own them have
outvoted those who know the county would
be benefited In many ways by the adoption of
that law. II every man who knows that the
law would be helpful to the county had
voted for it at the last election on the fence
question, it would have been adopted,
and the drainage in the vicinity of the
city would be far better than 1t is, the ex-
pense Of keeping it good would be small, and
the lands of the county would be placed
under cultivation much more rapidly. All
this good work is obstructed In order that
cattle may CLEAN living without expense
TO their owners.

intimation he had received that it affected his
own property. He looked just little sheeplsh

Not a Bigger Man.

Eustis Russell the heir apparent Of Massa-
chusetts, is a strict constructionist, says the
Boston Herald.
He took a very lively interest in the last state
campaign, and, although he is not yet old
enough to read the political news in the daily
1pers, he asks questions enough Of his father
aud other members Of the family to form a
comforting, if somewhat biased, opinion of the
situation.
His interest and excitement eliminated on
election day, and IL was only after a good deal
OF persuasion and by whispering some mystic
rious sentence into his ear that his nurse could
induce him to 20 to bed at all.
The morning after election Eustis was up
very early. He came down into the dining
room and sat there very quietly all alone. BY

There Was No Funeral Friday

The Boston Journal tells story illustrating
the power of a strong will. Some forty years

bitter weather by engaging the minister and

for Friday. In some way, on Wednesday the
sick woman heard Of this, and arousng herself
from her supposed dying condition, declared.
'There'H be no funeral in this house this week %
The funeral was accordingly postponed It
took place last Friday, forty years after it was

The ST. Louis conferences assertion that
this nation is on the "verge of moral, politl.
cal and material ruin" is bosh. There are
numbers OF things in our national economy
that need reforming; but they are being
considered and will be worked out. The
idea Of general and disastrous wreck i'm
pending is purely q Pigment Of the dema.
gogue's imagination. The wrongs to be
righted can all be successfully handled by
the people through the party Of the people
the democracy-and without the estab-
lIshment Of any other party.

DURING the last few weeks says the London
Daily Netos, the Roman populace have been
saying that Beatrice Cenci is now out of purgA-
tory The legend runs that when. during the
pontificate of Clement VIII. Beatrice Cenci
was executed for the crime Of parricide, the
people, who pitied her greatly, said that God
had not sent her TO hell but into purgatory At
that time the property of the Cenci family was
seQuestrated, but when Paul Borghese became
pope he fastened TO distribute 1t among his
nephews. This favor, it was said, would only
last until Beatrice was released from purgatory.
Now that the Borheses are almost ruined it is
commonly repeated in Rome that the punish
ment is ended and Bestrics liberated.

affected by the electrical disturbances on
the sun. From the wire the disturbances
will be translated into sound waves. After
he gets his wire up it will take the genius of
an Edison to decide whether tho roaring is
in the sun spot, or In that place that Bob
