A FIGHT AMONG THE JUSTICES,
Justice of the Peace BarthOlO-
new and His Office.
Ex-Justice Stanton's Attempt to
Gust Him.
Judge Clark Overrules Demurrer In
the Quo Warranto Proceedings,
but Intimates the supsrvis sors'
Action was Correct.

Judge CLARK yesterday overruled de.
murrer in the proceedings brought by
ex-Justice L. Stanton to test the validity
of Justice Bartholomew's claim to the
Office to which he was elected at the
last general election.
1t will be remembered that last year
the board OF supervisors consolidated
Los Angeles township and Los Angeles
city township. This action was com
bstted by Justice King, who claimed
that they had exceeded their powers.
The present case was begun by Justice
Stanton after his term had expired in
January of the present year, who
claimed the boards action was illegal,
and that consequently Justice Bartholo-
NEW was not legally elected. He claims
that he is entitled to the Office. The
proceedings are quo warranto in their
nature.
Judge CLARK, in brief opinion in the
case, exercised himself very de cidedly
about the validity Of the supervisors &C.
tion, although he overrules the demur-
rer. In brief opinion he says:
II am of opinion that the action of
the board OF supervisors changing the
boundaries OF Los Angeles township and
Los Angeles city township, and desig-
mating the territory and township so
created Los Angeles township thereby
abolishing Los Angeles city township,
was within the scope of the powers con-
ferred upon it by subdivision 2, section
20 of the county government act (so
naD DA1N - snA L. 10
boards of supervisors in their respective
under such limitations and restrictions
as are prescribed by law. 2. To
divide the counties into town

tricts required by law, change the
same and create others as convenience
requires also agree with counsel
that the court will take judicial notice
of the acts Of the board of supervisors
changing and establishing the political
subdivisions of the county. But is it
not possible that counsel has confused a
rule of evidence which, when the issues
Of fact are made and are on trial, re-
quiree the court to take judicial notice
of certain facts and dispenees with proof
thereof with a rule of pleading. A de-
murrer presents only iasues Of law. 1t
admits all Of the allegations of the plead
ings demurred TO be true, and it is at
least doubtful if the court should take
| indicial notice of facts which show the
allegations of the complaint TO be un-
true, and thereupon sustain the demur-
rer. A ruling upon demurrer is a
judgment upon the facts as alleged, not
upon the facts as they exist. At all
events think it better and safer prac-
tice to raise the Issues of fact by answer,
and the demurrer ia overruled."

Since Samarcand has been o portion Of

easy to visit. The travelaS from Europe
can reach tho old capital Of Tamerlane
by the TranscasEsan railway, which the
Russian government has constructed
across the Too Eman deserts with 60
much boldness and xhich was finished
as far as Ssmarcand six yes7s ago. Less
than three miles 20 the northeast of Sae
marca-sl and outside Of the extreme
limits OF the ancient city is atomb which
is called Khodja-Deniar. This tomb, ac-
cording to the Mussu!saan legends; isths
Trial place Of tho Prephet Daniel. The
spot where this tomb stands Is called
Afrousiab, and thero are seen ruins
which arc very probably those,of thesar-
oient city OF Maracanda, destroyed by
Alexander the Great.
This was an immense town. whose
walls, we arc told, had o compass Of 90
stadia, or about 10 miles. tits separated
from Samarcand by arnalsed hill, the soil
of which is one vast cemetery. Tlresep-
ulcher of Khodja-Daniar Is built ON q
sort of terrace or cornice. Ahalf dozen
great masts, from the tops Of whichhang
some sacred rags or tougs made Of horse
tails, tho height of which is proportions

any kind. This sarcophagus Is con-
structed with heavy masonry Thesaint
who reposes there is beyondla doubtreal-
ly dead, but his mode of behavior Is
more than curious since, though dead,
he continues to grow constantly in his
sepulcher
Every two or three years the mollahs,
who are the guardians of the palace, de-
termine by learned calculation, the
data of which I was not able tofearn,
how much it is proper to lengthen tho
sepulcher in order to make its dimensions
correspond to those of its tenant. To
judge from the present length of the
tomb, the height of the Prophet Daniel
was or should have been at the date Of
my visit in 1891 about so feet. His height
must be little more now. Itshould be
observed that the growth of the saint is
IN length only and not in breadth. The
development of the breadth Of his shoul-
ders is not in proportion to that of his
height. Revue des Deux Mondes.

Minor Cases Which Wore Considered
Yesterday.
James Mccarthy was in his old seat
in the dock yesterday in Justice Austin g
courtroom, this time on charge of bat
terry. James is an unfortunate young
man, in his own opinion. Last Satur-
day he was acquitted in the superior
court Of charge of burglary, having
just been released from the city Jail, f,
where he had been in durance vile for
disturbing the peace.
When Justice Austin called upon him
yesterday to plead to the accusation of
battery, James arose and with a weary
expression on his good-looking features,
intimated that he was quite willing to
plead to any number of charges, but
that he would like to remark to the
court that he had already been tried and
convicted of the charge of battery, and
had suffered suitable length of confine-
ment.
James was truthful for once and the
case was promptly dismissed.
J. Armentrout, one of the miserable
objects who live on the earnings of fallen
women, was on trial before Justice Aus
tin yesterday on charge of vsgrancy.
He was found guilty and given
"floater."
The case against Matte Pierce, col
ored woman, charged with robbing A.
Mcdonald of $40, WAS dismissed by JUS

Securing the nonor rrom neo..

The labor of honey raising has been
materially lessened for the bees by mod
ern improvements, and they seem pro-
portionately grateful. Tho bees no
longer make their own cells, which are
produced by machinery out of wax.
These artificial cells are placed in the
hive, and the bees seem to be glad to get
rid Of the labor of making them. I'm
nediately they get to honey making.
This business they conduct alone. When
the cells are full, the hive must be
watched from without, lest the bees be-
gin to seal them up, which they do in
order to lay up their winters food.
To guard against this, additional cells
are put on top of the hive called supers.
In these the bees deposit their extra
store, and this is reserved for their win-
ter outfit. When the bees begin to seal
the cells, the box is removed, a small ma
chine is put inside which is set vibrating,
and this empties the cells of their honey,
which is drawn off, and the cells having
been drained are put back to bereflled.

Tho yalue OF Condiments.

Peppers and peppery substances, salts,
etc., were destined to occupy place in
the history Of edible foods-a supple
mentary ono, it is true, but no less inn
portant than the position of executive
officer on ship which has captain in
command. The normal digestive fluids
furnish the means for disposing of foods
taken into the system-that is, for those
those which are of a character necessary
for the actual nourish1nent of the body.
They do not, however, have sufficient
strength to use up the superfuous mat
ters in their ordinary flowing. A condi-
ment stimulates the secretions of the
glands and lends such an activity to di-
gestive powers that there is aremarkable
contrast between condimental and
natural meal. Peppers arc not to be rec
commended to any great extent, neither
is common salt alone to be advised. A
proper mixture of salt, pepper and celery
powder makes a very good seasoning,
with sufficient pungency to secure what
is sdesired in the way of arelsh.
