But the looks of him would not serve.

Give me my Shirts or in an hour I'll sue,
1t will cost me nothing but be dear for you,
For have Il pull and in Jail you'll go,
And when you are there you'll have no

He tried his dirty game but it did not work.

He feels as sore as n lcpcr case,
He is so ashamed to look in your face.

"Ah that's it." replied the president
eagerly. 1--WE don't care about the trump

issuance, and

Don't you believe me? Look here and

Then Samuel told his story, and the two
old gentlemen listened with open-eyed won
der and the detective with a smile which
said, Here's pretty CO." And when he
had finished, they consulted aud then the
bank president, quite Affably too asked if
he would take off that suit of clothes. And
Sammy replied, certainly, he didn't mind
except for the sake of modesty.
They emptied the pockets and found the
watch the pin, the ham and cheese, the
check book, handful of change and sun
dry handkerohiefs and things, but no fresh
crisp bills. But when Sammy came TO
their assistance they believed.
And this finally was the agreement into
which they all entered under pledge of most
sacred secrecy. Sammy was to receive
from the government very comfortable
annuity for life payable from the treasury
contingent fund. And, on his part, he
bound himself never TO leave the city, to
report at certain intervals to the high Off
cial, and to wear only such clothing as the
detective furnished him. And it was ex-
pressly stipulated that such clothing should
be without pockets.
This contract has been faithfully carried
out. The bonny Kate relented, and be-
slowed her bonniness on her faithful lover.
They are prosperous, contented, happy,
and Sammy is universally respected as a
man of substances, though of somewhat
eccentric habits.
And so, the moral is-but perhaps it's
best for each one TO frame the "Hac fabula
docet," and then there can be no doubt Of
the correctness of the demonstration.

TWO GIFTED MONKEYS.
Cross Eyed Jocko From Panama and
Miss Yam Yam, the Aeronaut.

Cross Eyed Jocko From Panama and
Miss Yam Yam, the Aeronaut.
From the san Francisco Examiner.
Jocko has been sold to John Van Heesh, the
pugilist, who wishes to use him as a mascot In
the event of getting on a match with J. Griffin.
Jocko is monkey and arrived here a short
time ago from Panama on the steamship Aca-
pulco. At some time in his early life he re
ceIved some facial Injuries, which give him the
appearance of being crosa-eyed. His odd feat
ures and innocent looks struck the fancy of Mr..
Sharp, proprietor of a card playing resort on
Powell street, near Market, and the little fellow
was installed as a mascot for the house.
JockO soon got acquainted with his surround
ings and made himself perfectly at home He
particularly enjoyed the wine supplied to guests
and helped himself so freely that he became in
toxicated, and was found by the proprietor in
sad condition the other morning. Steps we're
taken at once TO place the wine under lock aud
key. To avenge this indignity Jocko proceeded
TO bite of the edges of the glasses. He also
turned on the gas after the place was closed for
the night, nearly asphyxiatlng himself.
The proprietor found that his pet instead of
being source of revenue, was proving heavy
expense, so when Van Heesh made an offer
Jocko quickly changed owners.
Jennie Yam Van was born ia an African for
est, and in her early days was captured by a
sailor, who brought her to san Francisco and
sold her 70 a waterfront peddler.
Yam Yam is q serious-fac-d monkey. and her
impressive countenance induced Hazel Keyes
the famous parachute jumper, to purchase her
Miss KeTes and Yam Van sooL became friends,
AID in the course Of her aeronautic experience
Miss Keyes took The monkey up in a balloon
Yam Yam never trembled and in the para
chute descent she chung tenaciously to her pro-
tector. Eventually Miss Keyes procured a
little parachute for Van Yam, and the inteli-
gent siman soon learned 60 detach the ropes
and descend when a sufficient altitude was at
tanned. Yam Yam is now famous, and her mid
air flights have been witnessed by many thou
sands along the coast.
Yam Yam is in winter quarters awaiting the
advent OF the summer picnic and county fair
She has lost none OF her solemnitY, yet she re-
tains all Of the impudence that was instilIed

ever witnessed in this country. Both men
| are clever to the highest possible degree and
! possess marvellous powers Of endurance.
/ Each is brimful Of confidence and will not
succumb until given the coup de grace.
| Mark the prediction, 1t will be nothing OF
| a one-sided battle, as the partisans OF each
! hope for ard VooiferOusly proclaim. ANY
| one who wagers his money on such an out
come OF the issue will be literally throwing
IL into the fire. 1t will be grand deter
mined struggle from beginning to end.
The purse which viii be offered will be the
greatest ever known IN the annals Of tisti-
ana. Purse and stakes will approximate
100000. fortune fit for kings to contend
for. The subsequent emOluments which
will accrue from theatrical exhibitions will
probably amount TO $4,000 a year.
Should the present pugilistic rage keep up,
the winner could in the next five years thus
coin half a million dollars. Should be re-
main champion, Corbett ought to be able to
keep on the high road to prosperity for q
decade, as he is but 26 years Of age and in
the lusty youth of bis pugilstic career.
The Coney Island club is engaged In no
game of bluff when IL says that it intends
to employ ell honorable means to win this
contest. It is not concerned in this battle
alone, but is ambitious 20 make its home
the home OF square, manly tistic sport in the
future. Ii will strive to have all the cham
plOns0lp battles come OH WITHIN us arena.
Il will especially endeavor to nave the bat
tie between the winner Of this contest and
that sable Antipodean wonder, Peter jack
son, take place within Its walls. Should
Corbett win that contest Is sure to occur
and it would be the battle Of a century.
A word in conclusion as to the golden in
Gucements now offered gladiators tOsdo bat
tie: Many people affect to believe that the
custom of giving fortunes to fighters 20
contend for will pass away with the present
craze. That might be, but 1t will depend
largely upon the fighters if this result is
brought about. The male portion Of man.
kind loves a fight as the world at large
loves a lover.
The passion for strife is inherent in man.
It began with the worlds conception and
reached its zenith in the Olympian games,
when kings commended for the laurel wreath
Of victory Even In our age the Cpstic
sport, circumscribed as it is by legislative
enactments, is as popular as in the days of
the OlympiaD and Roman games.
But to return to the point of contention,
il the pugilistic Rrdor dampens it will be
largely the fault of the fighters. Patrons of
fistic sport are exceedingly acute and will
stand no imposition They are quick TO de-
tect fraud, and will have no "barneys" or
throw DOWNS II fighters yield TO the
temptation which the offers Of large purses
induce and "spnt the stake" they will
surely kill the goose which has laid the
golden egg.

sEELEY AND SEAMAN.

The decision of the Utah Commits
sion to give the certificate of election
to Orange Seeley is based on the
81 ound that he had done all that lay
in his power to effect his resignation.
He had forwarded it to the proper
authority and it had been received. So
far it would appear to have been com
plete on the theory that no action on
the part of the appointing power is
necessary in the acceptance of a resig-
nation.
But there is a flaw, apparently, in
this conclusion, in the fact that Judge
seeley has been acting in his official
capacity right along. That being the
case. how could he be eligible for cleo
ton to the Legislative Assembly in the
face of the law which declares a per-
son ineligible who holds a commission
and appointment under the United
States as he does?
If he resigned previous to the cleo
ton, how was it that he acted in the
Office after the election? Even though
his resignation was sent, he still held
the commission and appointment which
rendered him ineligible, and Che proof
that he did, is his official acts under
that. commission and appointment. He
was either in or out of the Probate
iudgeship. If he was in he was incl
igible; if he was out ne was not Pro-
bate judge and his acts We're void. He
could not be in and out at the same
time, and If he has been performing
the duties of the Office, though his re-
signing intentions were good the acts
and the facts are dead against him.
There was no division among the
Commission on the plain proposition
set forth repeatedly in The Herald
that Probate Judge holds q. commits
sion and appointment under the United
States, and is therefore ineligible for a
seat in the Legislature. The facts
were clear that he acted in that capac-
ity after the election. It appears that
!, is still Probate Judge of Emery
county. The telegram announcing the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-11-24

receipt and fling of his resignation
speaks in the present tense; it 'isV
filed. There was no evidence that it
was received and filed before the cleo
ton. There was evidence by telegram
from Washington that he was Probate
Judge on the 7th of November. The
eligibility to be determined by the
Commission is, under the law, eligible
ity for election. That Seeley was then
ineligible is beyond the shadow of a
doubt
Why then has majority of the Com
mission decided in his favor? It would
be nothing more than what the past
has taught, if we believe that it was
because of the peculiar constitution of
that peculiar body. The two acknowl-
edged Republicans make no secret of
thir leanings toward party interests.
1t has been manifested in all their do
ings, only for long time the bias
was Liberal. There are two staunch
Democrats in the body ready to do
what is right for their party before
the law There is one alleged Demo-
crat who has commonly and persist
emily acted with the Republicans,
whether in the Liberal or Republican
interest, and that is where the matter
hinges. The two Democrats voted for
the plain common sense proposition
that Seeley was in the Office. and was
ineligible, the third man voted with
the Republicans to give seeley the GER
tifcate. This is shown on the record.
Further comment is needless, but
future action is imperative and the
Democratic party should take that ac-
ton.
John Seaman receives the certificate
on the simple fact set forth also re-
|peatedly in The Herald that he held
his appointment under the Territory
|of Utah, and therefore there was no
inehgibiIity in his case on the ground
of his being registrar. That is 50
plain a proposition that it is scarcely
open to question. but of course moth
ing is protected from a bubble.
The contests being settled the work
of the Commission is ended for the
presnt and the gentlemen will betake
themselves to their respective homes
to spend the Christmas holidays And
the excitement over the disputes that
have arisen viii die out and the Leg
islature will bear a Republican COM
plexion,
