Sentence Not Carried Out.

MONTEREY, Mex. Jan 26.-The sen
tence of death pronounced by the court
martial last Saturday on Colone
Nieues Hernandez, the Mexican army
officer, was not carried out as was in
tended, the condemned man having
made an appeal to the military court il
the City Of Mexico, but it is believed
here that the verdict of this court can
not besset aside and that the superior
court will approve the verdict. His
execution is therefore only question Of
few days.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.


Mr.. Gladstone's friends are private
ly urging him to remain abroad till
the present epidemic passes away.
They much fear that second attack
of influenza would be serious.
The handwriting of the late Gen.
eral Meigs was so illegible that Cen
eral Sherman once wrote under one of
the official papers: II heartily con-
cur in the Endorsement Of the Quar-
termaster General, but l don't know
what he says"
Says Major General Howard: Our
movable army is in lust the same con-
dition as to numbers as it was twenty
years ago. The large number OF
trained soldiers who came out Of the
war of the rebellion have passed away
or are too old to take part IN any
future military operations. So we
must begin, should war come, at
the very beginning, and go very Slow

Randolph Rogers, while yet boy,
showed his talent by carving curious
cane-heads on gnarled sticks which
he found in his rambles in the woods.
A few years later, while in theService
of New York silk merchant, he
slept in the store of his employer, and
during his leisure hours devoted him
self to making small statues. The
merchant, discovering his bust of
Byron one day, was so pleased at the
evidence Of Rogers genius that he
offered to lend him money enough to
90 to Italy and study art. This was
his first real start in life.
Walt Whitman hasaalmost recov-
cred from his attack of pneumonia.
He is able to sit up in bed and read
the newspapers, and has become so
cheerful that he expresses a desire to
live.
Edison says he is about 100000
worse off than he would be if he had
never taken out patent. That is
to say, he has spent that amount OF
money in experimenting and in law
suits. He says he has made about all
his money in manufacturing his inven-
tions and not by the royalties on
them.
1t is said that Jerry Simpsons faith
in himself as a person of Importance
is daily diminishing.
Sherman Hoar, the young congress-
man from Massachusetts,, who recent
ly experienced such distress over the
nomination and election of Speaker
Crisp, was the modal selected for the
statue of John HARVARD, founder OF
the university which bears his name.
Mr.. Hoars face was not copied close
ly, but the professors and sculptor
decided that in his features and figure
he resembled their ideal of the man
whom they wanted to honor with a
monument, but of whose looks they
had no positive record.
When Brooke Herford first arrived

Though the recent San Francisco Grand

The San Francisco Post, in referring to

The Goods are Pure.
ST. Louis Journal of a c


The business of the Royal Baking
Powder Company comes to us in the reg
ular way, and is not, therefore, entitled
to any special mention on that account.
But the fact that other baking powder
companies have been making war on
this company and using all manner of
unfair means to iniure its business is
itself an appeal TO the love of fair play
which is part Of the character of every
good American citizen.
The fact that the Royal Baking Powder
Company has succeeded far beyond any
OF its competitors is no doubt reason
enough for some of them to say ANYTHING
against the Royal Baking Powder that
they can get newspapers to publish. We
do not know whether that sort of thing
has injured the Royals business or not.
We don't suppose ii has, but of one thing
we are sure, when the goods of any COM
pany have been on the market, as Royal
Baking Powder has, for d whole genera
ton, and been consumed by almost the
entire population TO a greater or less ex-
tent, with perfect satisfaction to all. and
without having injured the health of a
single person, then it will take more than
spite or jealousy to injure its business.
The baking powders made by this com
pany have been tested a thousand times
by the most eminent chemists and AL
ways pronounced pure and wholesome.
This, added TO the experience OF the mill
ions who have used them, will stamp as
absurd the attacks of other manufact-
urers who are prompted by jealousy of
their great success to publish false state
ments about the Royal Company's goods.

Josephine testified that Finn rents a

has resided in her house for some time.
he comes home drunk and his wife is
afraid of him. Tuesday night Finn re-
paired to his wife in a very hilarious
condition and she barricaded the door,

Finn howled around the premises and
threatened TO break the door in, and was
demonstrated with by Josephine to no
effect. he went away for short time,
but returned and demolished the door.

covering his property, which he found in
their possession.
"HANDsoME" BRADY'S LATEST BOOZE.
Handsome" Brady was formally tried
before Judge Cravens yesterday. 1t was
the old, old story of Brady's being drunk.
Brady pleaded not guilty to the comhi
nation charge of Vagrancy and drunk,
and said he was ready for trial.
officer White testified that he knew
Brady-not slightly, but too well. He
had known him for some time, and Brady
was always drunk, except when he was in
Jail. Even in Jail he would get drunk, if he
had a chance, and he had faculty Of get
ting drunk quicker, getting drunk
oitener, getting more thoroughly drunk
and staying so longer than any one be-
tween SnOhomish and San Diego.
Officer Higgins testified that he knew
Brady, but he never knew him sober out
side of Jail. lie had known him about
four years. Brady got drunk if he saw q
barrel or beer sign, or if he heard q
cork pop. Brady was drunk two years
of the four he had known him, and in
Jail the rest of the time.
Judge Cravens summed up the evil
dence and thought it appeared conclu-
sive. Beside, he said he knew Brady,
without evidence. He therefore found
him guilty, and will sentence him this
morning.
Brady reprimanded the officers, saying
they laid for him" and made business
OF hauling him UP if he was out of Jail a
few minutes. "Why don't yes artist the
other drunks? Amt the town full av
thin?" and he became too indignant for
utterance.

beer with a man named Pete, and in the
course Of his greeting with Pete he shook
hands and ran against Brooks accident
ally. He acknowledged telling Brooks
he swindled and that he used bad

THE CHURCH LOSES
The Supreme Court Decides Against
Stockton Presbyterians

The Supreme Court Decides Against
stockton Presbyterians.
The Supreme Court has rendered de-
cision in the matter of the estate of Nancy
Hewitt, deceased.
The executor of the deceased's estate
filed his petition for final distribution of
his testator's estate, in which he claimed
that under her will the residue of her
estate, after the payment of certain
specific legacies, debts, funeral and other
expenses, should be divided equally
among three Presbyterian churches.
In accordance with the claim of the
heirs-at-law of the decedent, the court be-
low made decree of distribution To each
of the churches mentioned in the will
zone in Allegheny, Pa, one in Pittsburg,
Pa, and the First Presbyterian Church
OF Stockton, Cali, one-ninth of the dis
tributable assets of the estate-that is, to
the three together one-third of such dis
tTibutable assets.
From this decree one of the churches
only-the First Presbyterian Church of
Stockton-appealed.
The Supreme Court decided that the
judgment appealed from should be
affirmed.

KRAUSB WAS NOT DAMAGED.
A Noted San Joaquin County SIander
Case Disposed Of.
The Supreme Court Upholds the Juds-
ment of the Lower Court-Kraus
was Imprisoned.

The Supreme Court rendered decision
yesterday in a case which attracted con-
siderable attention in San Joaquin
County some time ago, namely, the case
of L. Z. Krause (appellant) VS.. Tony
Spiegel.
krause alleged that Spiegel charged
him falsely before Justice of the Peace
with having committed slander of and
concerning him" and procured the ustice
to issue warrant for his arrest upon said
charge.
Krause was arrested and imprisoned
six hours, and, no one appearing against
him, he was discharged.
The arrest and charge was extensively
published, and krause said he was
greatly injured in his business, credit
and reputation. Krause also alleged that
Spiegel knew he had no cause for the ar
rest, and swore to the warrant for the
purpose and intent of harassing and an
noying him. Krause asked Judgment
against Spiegel for $4,000.
The action was commenced more than
year after the discharge of the plaintiff.
and defendant demurred to the COMPLAINT
upon the grounds that it did not state
facts suttlclent to constitute a cause of ac-
ton; that several causes of action were
improperly united; and that each of the
causes of action sued upon was barred by
the provisions of Section $40, Subdivision
3 of the Code OF Civil Procedure.
The court below ruled that the COM
plant did not state facts sufficient to con
stitute cause Of action for malicious
prosecution, and that the causes of action
stated, so far as they were for false inn
prisonment and libel, were barred by the
provisions of the statute cited. The de-
murrer was accordingly sustained and
the plaintiff declining to amend, iudg-
ment was entered that he take nothing by
his action and that defendant recover his
costs.
From that judgment Krause appealed.
THE only question:" says the Supreme
Court, lis, did the complaint state a
cause of action for malicious prosecu-
tion?"
After stating the laws in various States
and the general rule, as well as citing
from long list of cases, the Supreme
Court says in conclusion: "In our opin-
ion the complaint did not state cause of
action for malicious prosecution and the
demurrer was properly sustained"
The judgment of the lower court is
affirmed"
