Two Castes in India.

The Rock Veddahs are stunted, hide
GUS and filthy; they live in secluded
caves and holes; they eat bats and rats,
and make their scanty clothing from the
bark of trees, but the Singhalese regard
them as of the very highest caste, and it
would be no disgrace for woman of
good social position to marry Rock
Veddah. On the other hand, the very
greatest disgrace that could be inflicted
on such woman would be to marry her
to a Rodiya, although these last are a
race distinguished for beauty, at least
in youth, and gentle and innocent by ma
ture.
The Rodiyas cannot enter temple or
village; they are forbidden to till the
soil or draw water from a well; they
cannot build a house or divide burden
into two bundles; their shadow must
not fall on a stream, lest it be polluted;
no member of another caste may touch
them without disgrace, yet any one may
shoot them without blame. All this is
supposed to be in consequence of the act
of an ancestor two thousand years ago.
who inveigled king into eating human
flesh. AS a consequence the beautiful
race is at the foot of the social scale, the
ugly and repulsive at the top.-T. w.
Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.

COUNTY BUSINESS.
The Supervisors Considering the Six
teenth-street Road Matter.
People on the Twelfth-street Road OPP
posed to the New One-State-
ments Under Oath.

The Board of Supervisors convened for
the February term yesterday morning.
All of the members were present and Mr..
Greer presided.
The first business taken up was the
adoption of rules to govern the board dur
ing the present year. The new rules are
substantially the same as those of last
year. Friday of each session is set apart
for swamp land business, and Monday
and Tuesday for finance days.
MONEY FOR THE MINERS.
A communication was received from
the California Miners Association calling
attention to the appointment by it of a
committee to solicit funds for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of delegation
to be sent to Washington shortly in the
interest of legislation looking toward the
renewal of hydraulic mining. In con-
clusion the association asks the Sacra-
mento Supervisors to contribute toward
the fund.
An anonymous communication was re-
! ceiyed from somebody in Gait, in which
the board was informed of an accident
on one of the public roads near that
point, causing the injury of a boy and the
death of a horse. The letter was laid
dSlu6 uAtll G46 NIlG6I IlldheS lis IUSUllIV
known.
A petition was received from citizens of
Dry Creek Township asking that j. W.
Haller be appointed Constable of that
township to succeed J. S. Phillips, re-
| signed. The petition was granted.
The petition of O. Goodrich and others
for new county road in District III was
next taken up. The report ofthe viewers
was favorable TO the proposition, and as
there was no opposition to the road the
petition was granted.
sIXTEENTH- STREET ROAD.
After hearing reports from the COM
mittees the board took up the petition of
Conrad Schepp and others for county
road on the extension Of Sixteenth street.
/ to connect with the American River
bridge. A remonstrance, signed by
quite number of people who believe
the road is unnecessary, was filed last
month, and yesterday the protestants ap-
| peared before the board to further oppose
the road. The impression appears to
have gone abroad that it is the intention
to close the Twelfth-street road when the
Sixteenth street road is finished, but this
idea is repudiated by the Supervisors ana
the petitioners. The latter say they need
another and better entrance to the city
from the north than that afforded by
| Twelfth street.
The opponents of the road with their
attorney, Matt Z. Johnson, occupied the
rest Of the day in presenting their case.
Each one of them was sworn and testi-
fed. 1t was shown in the majority of
cases that the objectors were persons who
owned saloons, resorts and stores along
the Twelfth-street route, and were greatly
benefited by the traffic on that road.
They were afraid that the new road
would take some of their trade from
them. Of course, they gave other reasons,
too-that the new road would cost too
much; that it could not be kept in repair
| that it would unnecessarily cut up sew
eral farms.
The board finally took the matter un-
der advisement and adjourned until to-
day.

The Little Girl Whom Bertha BIuitt is
Thought to Have stolen.
On the 18th of last month Officers Glib
son and Maley arrested woman known
IS Bertha Bluitt, who inhabited crib on
i street, in the belief that something
might be done in the interest of a little
girl which she had with her and which
she claimed was her own daughter. The
belief was that the child did not belong
20 her, and that, at all events, the little
one should be provided with home
where she would not be exposed to the
contaminating influences of disreputable
companions.
The woman and child were kept in jail
Cor few days, but as there was no proof
hat Mrs. Bluitt was not the rightful
guardian of the little one, she was al
lowed to go.
Recently, however. the police learned
hat the little girl was the child of
woman named EASTWOOD, who died in
San Francisco last summer, and that she
the child had been stolen from an aunt
who had given her a home. The Bluitt
woman was living in the same house
with the little girls aunt.
Accordingly Mrs. Bluitt was again ar
rested, and will probably be prosecuted
FOR abduction. She had. however, Sc
cured the child (who goes by the name of
Ethel BIuitt) a home with a family at

Severe Experience of a Duck-shooter

in Yolo County.
Timothy Pennish, a well-known plas-
terer and ardent disciple of the shotgun,
had very close call for his life on Sun
day, He went duck-shooting that morn
ing in the vicinity of Babel Slough, about
twelve miles south of the city and on the
1olo side of the river, accompanied by
his brother Martin, J. j. Plunkett and a
friend named Stevens.
In the afternoon he became lost in the
great tule swamp that lies between the
river and the high ground beyond Will
low Point, and which is about five miles
across. Pennish's companions waited
until night and then returned to the city.
thinking that perhaps he had emerged
upon the road and they would meet or
overtake him.
AS they heard nothing of the missing
man, however, his brother and Gus BEN
ming procured team and returned to the
locality, where they searched for the lost
man during the night. About noon yes
terday they found him alta ranch-house
near Davisville, which place he had
reached during the night.
Pennish was almost dead from the eff
fects of his exposure, he having doun-
dered about through the marsh for sew
eral hours, while his flesh and clothing
were torn from frequent contact with
barbed-wire fences. A man with less
physical strength and courage would

This action was originally commenced

won the case. Then Wood intervened
and asked the court to set aside the judg-

venor, adjudging that the latter came in
too late. The court says: 1.-The relief
sought by the intervenor, if granted,
would require this court to command the
Controller to issue a second warrant for
the payment of the same sum that had
been paid upon the first warrant which
