About filters.

Two months ago if a man wan ted
a filter he would probably buy one of
two kinds-either Pasteur or a Gate
City (or Zanesville.) Both were, and
are. good. The objection to the first
is its cost, and to the second, the
wearing out of the filtering discs.
Today, ins the so-called Rapid
filter, patented April 4th, the good
points of both filters are combined.

TO TEST ITS LEGALITY.
The California Statute Requiring the
Registration of Chinese.

A complaint was made before Judge
Campbell yesterday m morning by Lawrence
Seinger. a watchman in the Chinese quar-
ter. to test the legality of the act passed
by the State Legislature in March, 1891,
and warrants were issued for the arrest of
George Lippman. ticket agent Of the
Southern Pacific Company. on two charges
of selling railroad tickets to Chinese
who had not complied with the law re-
garding registration. The act makes it
illegal for railroad ticket agents TO sell
tickets to Chinese until the latter can pro-
duce certificates of registration. The law
so far has Deen dead letter. but an at
tempt will now be made to prove its con-
stitutionality.
One of the complaints is that on August
% Lippman sold a ticket 10 Reno, New,
to Gee ChOng Tone. and the other of sell
ing on the same day ticket to San Pablo
to Wong Tone. The further allegation is
made thai the Chinese had not been regis
tered in compliance with the State law
and that Lippman did not ask for their
certificates.

The Curtis Case Is to Be
Argued To-Day.
YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS
Witnesses Who Establish the Cir
cumstances of the Whisky
Bottle and the Pistol.

The evidence in the Curtis trial is at
last all in, and all that remains now is for
counsel to argue and the jury to decide
whether or not the actor is guilty of the
murder of Policeman Grant on the night
of September TO- 1891.
When the case was resumed Yesterday
morning District Attorney Barnes was
busy examining witnesses in rebuttal
Curtis was recalled and asked whether he
remembered on the night of the tragedy
having a quarrel in the Tivoli bar with a
man named Lockhardt Curtis said he
not only did not remember il. but that no
such quarrel had taken place.

"STOP, OR | FIRE!"
Bailiff MOrtOn's Race for
a Burglar.
How Robert Lang, a Criminal, At
tempted to Escape From Judge
DaingerfieId's Courtroom.

The solemn proceedings usually attend
ant upon the arraigning and trying of
criminals were considerably enIivened in
Judge Daingerfield's court yesterday by
what was evidently precouceived attemp pt
on the part of one of the prisoners to es-
cane.
Robert Lang, alias Lange, was the chief
OF this adventure. and was up for trial on
charge of burglary. Lang is not by any
means desperate in appearance, being,
although tall. OF too cadaverous an appear
auce to suggest to the mind of a spectator
the fearless brute who goes about arm ed
with dark-lantern, skeleton-keys and 8
cTowbar or two. Yet for all that he is a
member of tough gang, one of them being
the notorious "Dink" Wilson, whose es-
cape on bond accepted by Judge Seawell
short while ago caused SO much COM
ment. The gang was originally up for
trial in Judge SeawelPs court, and while
trouble. but. having got change of venue
as regards courts, II fell to the lot of
Bailiff John Morton 10 be the recipient of
the next favors shown.
Lang mad just got the hearing of his case
postponed, aud the business of the court
was being proceeded with as usual, when
suddenly he jumped like cat out of the
DOCK, and rushed into the crowd of spec
tators. What shows that the plan must
have been prearraDged was the fact that
the crowd opened, as If by magic, to let
him through and closed after HIM, seri-
ously interfering with Bailiff Morton's
efforts to reach him. However, Morton
and the court reporter pushed their way
through and the courtroom clerk closed
tie doors, and thus barred the crowds
egress.
By this time Lang was making the best
OF his way along the corridor. with Nor
ton in hot pursuit, calling on him to stop,
at intervals. Lang rushed on and cot as
far as the Sheriff's Office. when some one
tried to stop him; but Lang pushed him
aside. and darEing through the glass doors
ran down the steps into the rOtunda. he
had just reached the pillars when Morton
appeared at the top of the steps.

extraordinary outbreak. merely saying in a
quiet tone. IF I'd got further out I'd have
shown you"
There was no further trouble, as Lang
was handcuffed and removed to the
County Jail, and the crowd of spectators
which had gathered at the first sound of
the pistols discharge slowly moved off,
realizing that the fun was over, for that
day at least.

IN HASTE TO RE-WED.
"Be Sure You Are Off With the Old
Love" Set at Naught.

Some people never know when they
have had enough. Yesterday morning a
comely matron of the name of Flora B.
Stou; obtained divorce in Judge Troutt's
court from her unruly spouse. A. A Stout,
by reason of his willful and uncalied for
neglect.
But the fair Flora was not so soon to be
deprived of the charms of matrimony.
For no sooner was the decree of divorce
duly entered by Judge Troutts clerk than
a mddle-aged man entered the marriage
license office and stated that his name was
James II. White, aged 40 years and resid-
ing al 1855 Market street, aud that he de-
sired to wed.
''And who is the fair object of your
choice. may [ ask?" inquired the clerk.
"Flora B. Stout" was the modest reply.
''She is A years old, sir, and resides Ia
Aptos. Cal"
The clerk thought for moment,
scratched his head and excusing him self TO
his client disappeared into the County
Clerks office. whence he proceeded to
Judge TrOutps court. Here his doubts
were set at rest, his face cleared and, re-
turning TO his Office, he informed the ex-
pectant White that he could have his
license by paying for il.
All was speedily compile ted and the ex-
ultans swain beamingly took his depart
ure to join the blushDg Flora, who all this
time was waiting for him in the corridor
outside.

tnat he was at the Baldwin Theater on the
night of the murder in company with a
man named Goldsteln and all three drank
white wine and seltzer. The witness left at
II O'Clock to catch his boat and left Curtis
perfectly sober. Curtis had chamois-
skin bag full of m oney and offered to pay
Tor drinks. In crOss-examination the wit
ness admitted that he left Curtis at tue

Dr. Cook was called and testified that
the witness, Leahy. had told him that the
pistol which Curtis carried was a white
handled, not black handled one.
AT this point it was somewhat abruptly
announced that the evidence in the
famous case was all in. and attorneys and
Judge consulted for few moments con-
corning the arguments. Finally it was
stated that the arguments would only
take one day, so it was resolved to con-
