The fine RECENT is exactly similar

Nltnln a 1eW days the hne and bail
receipt books will be published and the law
put into operation.
Among the impracticable features of the
law are the following: Under the law no
person can accept or give receipt for cash
pail either in court or out of court without
the statutory receipt. Now II a person be
arrested late at night and taken to the
Southern station, say ON a charge of
drunkenness, and desires to get his free
dom he cannot do so. for there Is no clerk
there with his receipt-book. The sergeant
is not empowered to give receipts, and 1t is
question whether a sergeant can release
person without giving him an official recept
for his cash bail. The law requires that the
official recelps shall be rendered to the person
giving bail.
1t is designed to get over this difficulty by
allowing the sergeant to take the required
cash bail and then in the morning 90 down
and give 1t to the court clerk, getting the
proper receipt. which he shall tender to the
arrested party. 1t Is a question whether
this Will be lawful. Should the sergeant
put The money in his pocket and not obtain
receipt Tor 1t tnothing could be done to him.
The lawyers say he could not be held even
for embeZzement.
Again, suppose prisoner Is sentenced TO
fine OF $3.50 with the alternative of $50
days Imprisonment After serving fifty
days he becomes tired and agrees to pay the
$500 remaining on his sentence. He has
this right under the law. The question now
arises tow can the Auditor enter such SER
vice in his books as part payment of his sem
tence? AS financial officer he cannot
formulate that kind of receipt. Besides.
there would be no voucher for 1t. Unde.

could not give partial receipt. The receipts

HE TRIED AGAIN.
Royce Took Poison Before
Shooting Himself.
The Members of the Investigating
Committee of the Veterans Home
at Work-Royce's Bond.

It is probable that to-day Colonel Clark
L. X. Royce will give bond of $4,000 and
be relieved from The surveillance Of the
police.
1t is also probable that the Grand Jury
Will find an indictment against him at heir
next meeting. and that he will be rearrested
and have 10 furnish additional bonds to
secure immunity frOm the constant presence
of the officers Of the law In his residence.
Despite the efforts of Colonel Royce's
family physician, DR.. Thayer. some facts
concerning the attempted suicide are leak
ing out.
1t is now known that Royce tried to kill
himself by swallowing a quantity of
laudanum, but took so much Of the drug
that he vomited it up in the rooms where
he is said to have shot himself His second
attempt, alleged to have been with a pistol,
was more successful in that he was severely
wounded.
a number of the directors of the Veterans
Home have visited Royce within the past
two or three days. and all of them vary in
their opinions as to the real condition of
the man. Some believe Royce was seri-
ously wounded and is partially paTalyzed,
while Others claim he was never seriously
hurt and Is feigning paralysis.
II Is understood that DR.. Thayer is anx-
ious for an examination of his patient, in
OTutT tHhI MS reports rs 10 Ills injuries ana
subsequent condition may be fully verified,
but it has been remarked by physicians
that DR.. Thayer's anxiety as 10 the correct
ness of his diagnosis, etc, might have been
relieved long ago had he seen fit to call in
other physicians and surgeons in consulta-
ton. lie has, on the contrary, surrounded
the case with as much mystery as possible,
and he alone knows the true condition of
Royce, the character and extent of his in
jlries and the results OF the same.
To w. G. Burnett, president of the board
OF directors of the Veterans Home, R0vce
said yesterday that he hoped an eXsmina
ton of his condition would be speedily
made. He assured the Judge that he was
paralyzed from the waist TO his feet, but
said he was getting better.
There was a change in the personnel of
the committee appointed to Investigate the
affairs Of the Veterans Home made yester-
day, DR.. Mclaughlin OF the committee
resigniDg and E. c. Thatcher being ap-
pointed in his place by Mr.. Burnett. DR..
Mclaughlin Will have something to say
about mis- resignation from the committee at
the next meeting of the association, but
refuses to talk now. When lie does talk,
however, II all reports are true. he will
make 1t extremely interesting for the People
who have been talking about him.
The committee will do nothing until Sum
day next, when they will meet at Yountville
with their experts and will remain at the
home until their investiga tions are con-
pludad

Just a Few Simple Facts That Will
Interest You,

The success attending the retiring sale OF
c. Curtin is almost phenomenal, but when
we consider the prices at which the goods
are being disposed of we are not surprised
The store Is crowded daily with eager pur-
chasers. all Of whom 60 away more than
satisfied with their bargains. In these days,
when so much claptrap Is resorted to in
the way of flaming advertisements that are
meaningless, it is refreshing to find a firm
that does just as they say. We saw laid
out in the parasol department to-day line
of fine black silk paras0ls, ivory handles,
that were imported 10 sell for S6 each.
They are TO be sold to-day for IS % each.
Also few dozen handsome tan capes neatly
trimmed with passementerie cut down to
s4 each A beautiful lot OF white flounc-
ings that had been sold at 81 so yard cut
to rs cents. The bargains in the silk de-
partment, dress department, hosiery and
underwear department are astonishing,
while the domestic departments are send
ing out blankets. quilts, table-linens and nap
kns in wagon-loads. Prices are so low we
advise ali who contemplate buying dry
goods to take advantage of this sale, as
the stock. though large, cannot last long at
these prices.

A SCARED CELESTIAL.
The Chief Witness Goes Back on His
Testimony.

Testimony.
The Chinese race Is so remarkable for a
stolidlty of expression that no earthly ter
rors can shake that tits an almost unheard-of
thing to see a scared Chinaman. Yet Chun
All Quai was a fair example of agonized
terror as he gave evidence before Police
Judge Joachimsen yesterday In the case Of
Lew Yen and Chun Han, charged with the
murder of Loo Kew on the 9Th ult.
The shooting occurred on Washington
alley and Chun All DUAL claimed to have
been an eyewitness. Although he was O
cousin of the dead man, he was cool and
collected enough when he made a statement
before the president of the Sam Yup Com
pany and Tang, an attache of the Chinese
legation. Then he positively Identified the
two accused and pointed to Chun Han as
the one who fred the pistol.
His long incarceration, however. had the
effect of destroying Chpn All Quafs nerves
and he was a pitiable object as he came up
to give evidence. His cheeks were drawn
and his eyes starting from their sockets and
his voice was almost inaudble.
All that could be got out of this witness,
therefore, amounted to nothing. He re-
iracted his evidence before the consulate
and afterward the Coroner, saying: "What
l said at that time was said without think
ing. l heard shots, and that's all. was
