BOTH REDUCED.

Two Sentences COMMITTED Yesterday
by Governor Markham.
Governor Markham has commuted the
sentence of F. w. Emerson to ten days,
he having been sentenced by the Police
Court of San Francisco, on December 80,
1893, to thirty days in the House OF Cor
rection, for being drunk and disorderly.
The President and editor Of the San Fran
cisco Journal Of Commerce Publishing
Company certified that Emerson was in
the city temporarily, is of industrious
habits, gentlemanly bearing, and well
behaved; that he is engaged in business
in San Luis Obispo, and they wish to con-
tinue him in their employment on his re-
lease. The Judge who sentenced him,
and the officers who arrested him think
that he is sufficiently punished. His
sentence is cOmmuted on condition that
he refrain from the use of intoxicating
liquors, leave the city Immediately, and
resume his employment with the COM
pany.
The Governor has also commuted the
sentence of Anthony Mendoza to expire
on January IL, 1894. Mendoza was SEN
fenced by the Superior Court OF San
at San Quentin. for manslaughter.
DR.. Mansfield, Resident Physician at
San Quentin, certified that he is
confined to his bed by consumption,
and that if he remains in his present
quarters he can only live few weeks
longer; that if removed to his home he
can live only few months and that it is
impossible for him to recover. Warden
Hale has Investigated his case and makes
the same statement, and on these repre-
sentations the commutation is granted,
upon the condition that his friends re-
move and care for him, and that on the
further condition that there is no fraud
or deceit practiced by him in the matter
of his sickness, and that if there be, and
he should be restored to health, the COM
mutation shall be null and void, and he
shall be required to serve the remainder
of his original sentence.

Congress-.

The entire day Monday was spent by the
House on the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill without definite results. McRae, of
Arkansas, made motion to abolish the
bounty, and upon this number of amend
ments were strung. One of these from the
Republican side, proposed to substitute the
present law, which was voted down by SO
to 15S. A motion to substitute the grad
ed rates proposed in the Mills bill was also
rejected, and Harter's amendment for O
Uniform rate with a provision for abolish
ing the bounty met a like fate. McRae's
motion to abolish the bounty after July l
next was finally adOpted-yeas, 135; nays,
30. Then lot of other amendments were
proposed and by the time adjournment
was reached the whole business was in a
tange. Tuesday the sugar question was
again taken up. The amendment offered
by Mr.. Warner of New York, putting re-
fined sugar on the free list, was reaflirmed,
while that of Mr.. Robertson of Louisiana,
putting tax on sugar, was defeated, thus
leaving all sugar free and the bounty abol-
ished.

the excess above $4,000. member of
Congress, for example, is taxed two per
cent on $1,000 the other $1,000 of his
income being exempt by the law. This
corrects the general impression, which
seems to be that where ones income ex-

A Good Idea,

\. j. Batchelder, master of the New
Hampshire state grange, proposes a new
departure for the grange of his state. 1t is
a course of reading on the Chautauqua
plan, but with special reference to agricult-
ural interests. The grange mas been a
great educational force by bringing farm
ers together in grange meetings, but it
has lacked just this systematized reading
which is most educating. The course of
reading requires two years. After COM
pleting the course, and presenting not
less than four essays on farm topics, di-
plomas will be given to those who fulfill
these conditions. The plan is for each
grange to buy and own the books for the
course. The expense item will be small,
not more than So or $40 to start with, it is
estimated, and the books can be used as
the nucleus of grange library.

the announcement of Mr.. Talmage, at the
close of his sermon that he had determined
to resign, and wished his resignation to
take effect in the spring upon the 25th an
niversary of the beginning of his work
there. While no reason is given, it is be-
lieved that his decision is due to the recent
action of the trustees in deciding to charge
an admission fee to the tabernacle of ten
cents to go toward the payment OF the
heavy church debt, the interest on which
is Sl5, 900, for which Russell Sage is said
