A Case for Speedy Trial.

For upward OF four years Mr.. FREDERICK
MAY. formerly Of this city. has been q fugi-
tive from Justice. In the autumn OF 1888 he
was indicted by the Grand Jury for the
crime OF assault in the first degree. This
offence is punishable by imprisonment in
the State prison for q term not exceeding
ten years.. The complainant was DANIEL
MCGOWAN, a policeman, who had been
summoned to the corner OF Warren street
and College place to check some disorderly
conduct On the part Of MAY. late In the
afternoon OF June IS. 1888. When the officer
arrived at the scene OF disturbance MAY
appears to have been quiet. but he subse-
quently came up to the policeman. accord-
ing to the officers testimony. addressed
angry words to him. and then drew a largo
revolver and attempted to shoot him. The
policeman grappled with his assailant, dis
armed him. and took him into custody.
MAY disappeared from New York shortly
after an indictment was found against him.
1t seems possible. not to lPy extremely
probable. that he has returhsd to this city
In the expectation that the charge against
him will be prosecuted with much less vigor
than would have been shown four years ago.
Returned fugitives from justice have FREE
quently found that the lapse OF time weak
ened the case against them. Witnesses are
likely to die or leave tho State, 30 thattheir
testimony becomes inaccessible. and. at all
events. their memory Of circumstances is
apt to become DINNER and less positive and
accurate. 1t may safely be asserted that
every year that passes after the finding OF
an indictment. without the trial OF the
alleged offender. vastly increases his
chance OF immunity from punishment.
No doubt. therefore,. in such a case as that
OF FRED MAY, 1t is more difficult to prose-
cute the defendant successfully after he
has been able to postpone his trial four
years by fleeing from the State. But he
should be prosecuted all the more vigor-
ously On that account. 1t should be dis
tinctly understood in this community that
men who violate its laws shall not be al
lowed to gain anything by running away:
and the very fact that they have been fugi-
tives from justice should induce great care
on the part OF the public prosecutor that
they do not escape punishment. II they de-
serve it. by reason OF any lack OF skill. en-
ergy. or ability on his part or that OF his
subordinates.
We do not want this town filled with
forgers. boodlers. DULLES. or other mis-
c~reants. who are at liberty to walk our
streets instead OF serving in the State
prison, only because they have succeeded
in running way and staying away long
enough to let the public forget the full
measure Of their w%rongdoing.

scientific men was sent TO examine the
islands In the Pacific and to report what
we're best fitted for Japanese colonization.
These points have a bearing on the re-
ported encroachment OF japan upon the
Pelews. She has chung to the Loo-Choo
Islands in spite OF Chinese claims to them.
Some years ago. when she had trouble with
Formosa. she sent an expedition to that
island, but China interviewed to prevent It's
seizure. She acquired such OF the Kurile
Islands as she did not previously own, by
exchanging for them her foothold on S1-
| ghalien, which Russia wanted. Only the
| other day we heard OF the commander OF
the Naniwa notifying the provisional Gov
eminent that II the United States nag
should be withdrawn from Hawaii Japan
would be ready to raise hers there.
Nevertheless, we must not hastily accept
the report that Japan has ventured to seize
the Pelews. This group, lying about 4O
miles east OF the Philippines and about the
same distance north OF the equator. practi-
cally forms the western end OF the Caroline
chain. There are about a score OF principal
islands, stretching northeasterly about six
score miles. hilly. fertile. with plenty OF
tropical trees and fruits and domestic ami
mails, with abundant water. and we'll suited
to the wants OF their population, which
numbers about 10000. Spaln's right to the
Pelews or Palaos Islands rests primarily on
q discovery dating as far bnck as the
sixteenth century. This title has been
strengthened by the decision Of the Pope
in the dispute Of eight years ago between
Germany and Spain. That dispute origi-
mated. we believe, in the refusal OF n Ger
man merchant vessel to a ycustoms duties
in these islands. The Pope's decision ex-
pressly recognized SPANS sovereignty In
the Pelews as we'll as In the western Caro-
lines. Should Japan encroach upon the
former group she would find the interests
not only OF Spain. but OF Germany and
England against her, since the latter two
powers. accepting the decision OF the Pope.
proceeded to console themselves by seiz-
ing respectively the Marshall and the
Gilbert groups. In the eastern Carolines.
But perhaps as Spain In the case OF San
Domingo magnifled minor occurrences into
contemplated annexation by the United
States or France. 30 in the case OF the
Pelcws she may have misinterpreted some
steps of the Japanese. Or, japan may
have made advances In islands which
she does not consider as belonging to the
Pelews. But, whatever she may havedone.
the Governor OF the Philippines has
thought it important enough to demand
resntorcements from Madrid.

Pet Economics.

At dinner the other evening every
one was asked to state truthfully what
were his or her pet economies, and the
result was very amusing, each person
being convicted of some small meanness
which contrasted oddly enough with his

Words In the Telephone.

Long distance telephoning has become
a little science on its own account and
has called into existence a class of oper-
ators who are valuable by reason of the
clearness and sharpness with which they
can pronounce words while speaking
rapidly.
1t has also developed the fact that the
French language is better adartpd 70 the
purposes Of the telephone than the Eng
hsh. The ordinary business of the long
distance telephone between Paris and
London is carried on in the French Ian
guage. 1t is stated that the considerable
proportion of sibilant or kissing syllables
In English renders it a less easy and ac-
curate means of communication.
Certain English words are especially
difficult of transmission by telephone.
The word 'soldier" is cited as one of
these. Proper names frequently occur
in the midst of an otherwise perfectly
audible and intelligent conversation
which the ear cannot possibly catch.
These must be spelled out, involving de-
lay.
Expert telephone operators in the press
service between Paris and London have
succeeded in transmitting messages in
the French language at the rate of 100
words minute. This is at a much
swifter rate than ordinary speech

The Profit In Foam.

Some people deplore the use of foam
ing preparations in soda water, claiming
that such additions are totally uncalled
for and unwarranted, but it must never
theless be conceded that soda foam can
bring forward several valid arguments
in its own favor. In the first place, il
aids greatly in keeping the gas from es-
Gaping too rapidly from the tumbler. In
the second place, it undoubtedly adds
greatly to the dispensers profits, for it is
claimed that by adding two ounces of
foaming preparation to gallon of sirup
the confectioner can draw so more glasses
than without the foam.
Thirdly, we must remember that the
appearance of any article of food or
drink plays fully as important part as
its taste in increasing the appetite and
stimulating the gastric secretions, and
when we bear all these facts in mind we
shall be inclined to look upon the snowy
foam with more leniency. And, indeed,
however we may look at it, there is no
denying the fact that it has come to stay,
and to stay probably for considerable
period Of time, SO we must make the best
we can Of the matter.-Thomas War
wick in Confectioners' journal.

Effect OF Music on Animals

At the zoo the zebra, wild ass, deer
and ostrich went into paroxysms of rage
at the sound Of the piccolo, although
they had manifested various signs OF
pleasure over the violin and flute. The
tiger was asleep, and refused to bo awak-
ened by the fiddler and futist. But
when the man with the piccolo began 20
play the animal sprang furiously to its
feet and rushed angrily up and down the
cage, lashing its tail. So extreme was
the beasts anguish that the piccolo man
speedily gave place to the flutist. The
difference in effect was at once apparent.
The tiger stopped, listened, Icy down
and purred like kitten in its enjoyment
OF the grateful sounds, and presently fell
asleep in luxurious repose. - London

Story of n Lustrous Diamond.

One of the finest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazilian
sands. 1t came in a novel form. A small
quartz rock was found, about the size
and shape of an egg, lying in the sands
along the bank of tho Amazon in Brazil.
This was carried home by Brazilian
peasant, who was attracted by its odd
shape and light weight. For some time
it lay in his home with number of
other geological specimens, mere Gu
riosity. Happening one day in handling
1t to drop it on a stone block, it burst
open and lay in halves on the block.
The hollow interior that gave the light
weight to the stone was filled with blood
red sand. In this sand lay the diamond,
q sparkling stone of the rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to diamond
merchant and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

succeed if such thing were possible

In life l came to the conclusion that
economy was the first great essential in
establishing fortune, and that labor
was the second. baniShed from my
mind all other considerations when be-
gan to work upon the road that l felt
sure would lead to the goal of which

II remember very distinctly going

tempting display in confectioner's win

that no candyever entered boys mouth

butterscotch. l regretted that invest
ment for years, and whenever the tempta-
tion again came upon me while passing
the store put it away instantly.
keeping close to this line Of strict
economy, l found myself at last in po-
sition to go into business. Then, how
ever, I commenced to feel that capital
alone was powerless in the attainment
of success, unless it was seconded by un-
tiring labor. Here also l met all the
necessary requirements, frequently de
voting 20 hours of the % 10 NV business.

The San Francisco Board of Health
can engage i'll no more laudable occupa-
ton tnan the examination OF our food
supply and the instruction OF the public
as to those articles it finds to be pure
and wholesome, and which, therefore,
consumers should use.
There are quantities of baking powders
in the market to use which is certain
detriment to the health of the consumer.
They are made from alum, or improperly
compounded from other chemicals, so
that they leave strong alkaline resid-
uum in the food. Many OF these pow

ufacturers from the dealers, with whom
they were left on commission, and
shipped to the Pacific Coast. In the ef-
fort to gain foothold in this market
their INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers have
indulged in eXtravagant statements both
with reference to their own and other
brands, claiming the most improbable
Endorsements for theirs and defaming
the brands best known and longest used
upon the Pacific Coast. This informa-
tion from this high authority, therefore,
is most opportune.
The strength in leavening gas indi-
Gates both the economical value and the
purity OF a baking powder. The tests
made by Messrs. Thomas Price 4 Sons,
the well-known analytical chemists OF
San Francisco, show the Royal to con-
tain l9l cubic inches of leavening gas
per ounce OF powder, which was fifty-one
inches more than the next highest in
strength. This shows the Royal about
30 per cent stronger than the best OF the
other powders and its use that much
more economical.
The opinion OF the Board of Health is
as follows:
We, the members OF the Board OF
Health OF the city and county of San
Francisco, cordially approve and recon.
mend the Royal Baking Powder. 1t i,
absolutely pure and healthful, composed
OF the best ingredients, OF the highest
strength and character.
In our judgment it is impossible to
make purer or stronger baking powde
than the Royal.-San Francisco Chron

Where Styles In Hats Rarely Change.

DR.. Doran tells us that the Natal
"fashionables" wear hats foot high in
height, made of the fat of oxen. They
first gradually anoint the head with a
pure grease, which, mixing with the
hair, fastens the hat on during the life
time Of the wearer. The Myantses make
a hat Of board l2 inches by 6. They
place it on their heads, draw the hair
over it and seal it with wax. They can
not lie down without keeping their necks
straight, and whtn they comb their hair,
which they do once or twice year, they
have to spend considerable time in melt
ing the wax before they can get their
hats off.-Philadelphia Ledger.
