The despised left hand makes good its
claims in many cases to be the DETER of
the two. The fingers that touch and ad-
just with such nicely the strings of the
violin are surely as cunning as those that
move the bow. The hand that guides the
reins and steers with exactness the horse
through the crowded streets is quite as
cunning as, one might say much more
than, the hand that welds the whip. But
great is fashion, unanswerable is theory.

more and more complex we are becoming

CHEROKEE SECRET SOCIETY.

Not many persons are aware that there
exists among the Cherokees a secret society
that is hundreds of years old, as old. in
fact, as the tribe itself, and is to-day
stronger than il ever was, at least IN num-
bers. This society is called the Ketoowah,
which. literally translated, means elder
brother. The st. Louis Post-Dispatch SAYS
1t is a sort Of Indian freemasOnry, and has
its laws and rules of order as well as Its
officers and secret signs. SO well are its
secrets and its doings guarded that there

He Fails to Make Ont His Case
Against Shields.
The suit of James B. Rooney VS.. Peter
j. Shields, administrator of the estate Of
NJ. w. Hicks, deceased, was tried in
Judge Johnson's court yesterday. The
suit was for $50 10. which Rooney
claimed was due for pasturage on band
OF brood mares belonging to Hicks, un-
der contract as to the number of horses
and price of pasturage.
The defendant claimed that he had Off
sets to the claim that were in excess of
the claim, and that the plaintiff did not
keep the stock in separate field and sup
ply them with plenty of fresh water rs
specified in the contract, nor did he keep
them in good pasture so as TO keep them
in good saleable condition. Also, that
the fence was in such condition that one
mare, valued at the sum of l,5O0,
was so hurt by tie fence that
she died, and on account of in
sufficient pasture several OF the foals
died, and he therefore prays that the
plaintiff not only have no Judgment in
the case, but that the defendant have
judgment for S2, 800 as damages.
Jas. b. Rooney, John Rooney, Stephen
Rooney and e. l. Robinson testified for
the plaintiff.
The defendants attorney then moved
for a nonsu1t, on the ground that the
plaintiff had failed to make out case,
and the court granted the motion.

SOON TO Be SETTLED.
The Validity Of the Capital Removal
Resolution.
An Agreed Statement of Facts to be
Submitted, Pro Forma Decision
and an Appeal.

The indications now are that the mat
ter of the validity or invalidity of the
action of the late Legislature, regarding
the matter of the attempted removal of
the seat of government from this city to
San Jose, will be settled by the Supreme
Court at a very early date-perhaps within
very few weeks.
A stipulation has been entered into be-
tween the lawyers engaged on either side
IN the suit brought by n. d. Rideout
against Secretary of State Waite-to en-
Join him from certifying the removal
resolution to the several County Clerks
by which an agreed statement of facts
has been decided upon.
This will be submitted to the Superior
Court at once, together with an amended
complaint. and the court will be asked to
give a pro forma judgment for the de-
fense. The case will then be appealed to
the Supreme Court, which will take but a
few days, and the latter tribunal will be
asked to advance it on the calendar, so
that decision may be reached within a
very few weeks.
By this arrangement the PLAINTIFFS
(Sacramento's) attorneys will have con-
troll of the case. which will give them the
opening and closing arguments. The
agreed statement will probably be sub
mitted to the Superior Court tomorrow,
when all the points contained in the stip-
ulation will be made public.
The stipulation was arranged between
J. w. Armstrong and J. H. McKune of
this city and D. NJ. Delmas of San jose
A. L. Hart of this city is also associated

of general interest. These he has had

OF the best obtainable.
Views are given of many of the public

Among the scenes were several of the

in Pennsylvania, from which some idea
was given of the terrible havoc which
caused the death of 5000 people in a few
