In China printing and writing are al

high dignitaries are revered. Upon
ceremonious occasions a great man is
attended by his servant, who hands
him a small piece of paper every time
he wishes to blow his nose. To use a
pocket handkerchief would be west
ern innovation and a shocking deroga-

Printed or written paper is, however,
never used for this purpose, being con-

1t was cynical French writer who said
that the condition of matrimony was like a
besieged fortress-"All those who are in it
want to get out. and all those who are
outside want TO get In"
Rev. j. Q. A. Henry. who is profound
student of social questions. has decided
that this is no longer the case in regard to
those untrammeled by the bonds of holy

OF ILL REPUTE.
John j. Coffey's Charac-
ter Discussed.
The Probate Judge ObIiges an An.
xious Inquirer With Some Reve-
Iations of the Past.

Probate Judge Coffey had occasion yes =
terday to pass some severe structures upon
the good faith of a namesake, John j.
Coffey, an attorney.
The Judge was sitting alone in his court
room when w. S. Edminster, a teamster,
came in and asked him if claim against
an estate would stand if the indebtedness
accrued subsequent to the death of the
party. Asked to explain himself, Ed
minister said that John j. Coffey had OBJ
tanned $1,000 from his daughter by repre-
sentlng that the estate Of j. NJ. Anderson
would be responsible for the amount. Was
that all right?
AT this very moment corroboratve testi-
mony was introduced in the dramatic en-
trance of James P. Sweeney, an attorney,
who said he wished to make some in
quiries about j. M. Anderson's estate. 1t
appeared that firm of Petaluma lawyers
has consulted him about client of theirs,
a young woman who had got into dire
trouble with an attorney. who offered her
he protection of the Anderson estate.
The letter from Petaluma contained a
description of the attorney, which an
swered to that of John J. COffey.
The Probate Judge said he knew nothing
about the Anderson estate, but he did
the case of Dauner against Louderba
rendered eleven years ago, Judge Coffey
referred to his namesake in the following
terms:
He is an attorney-at-law, admitted to
practice by the Supreme Court of the
State, and he comes upon the stand and
swears that he was party to an agree
meDt to bring a suit against a former
client, the basis Of which was a contract
on the part of an attorney who had been
his professional partner in he practice of
the law to testify for price-half OF the
pecuniary results-the portion of The judg-
ment which could only be obtained by the
violation OF professional confidence, the
whole affair being a secret agreement Oh
the part of the witness client to give a
man share of a judgment in consldera-
ton OF his testifyiDe in such a manner AS
To secure a verdict. and the witness
(COffey) cannot understand wherein such
an agreement is improperl To comment
upon the character of such testimony is to
insult the intelligence and the integrity of
a learned and an honorable profession that
still retains learning and honor enough TO
blush at such shameless revelation"
Edmlnster appeared thoughtful when he
heard these damaging words. He left the
courtroom with intent 10 commence legal

LOOSE is BEATEN.
He Cannot Claim the Mare
Kinda Rose.
Judge SeaweIl Decides That the
Statute of Limitations Bars
His Claim.

Judge Seawell has decided against w.
A. r. Loose in his suit to recover the
trotting mare Kinda Rose from the esta te
of the late Leland Stanford.
II is now nearly fourteen years since
Loose sold the brood mare Beautiful Bells
to Stanford. the price being $1,000. Beau
tiful Bells had never done much to
distinguish herself on the track, and
nothing was said about a foal which
was at the mares side until ten years
later. when the present suit was insti-
tuted By that time the insignificant foal
had blossomed forth into the great trotting
mare, Kinda Rose. breaker of the worlds
record, and representing much in the way
of money. besides her probable value at
the stud.
Loose, who is a Mono County horseman,
claimed Kinda Rose from Stanford on the
ground that the fily did not 60 with the
brood mare by the terms CT sale His
claim was denied, and then Loose entered
suit for the possession of the mare, or her
value-S50, 900. as we'll as $4,000 damages
tor her unlawful detention at the hands of
Stanford.
The case did not come to trial before
Judge Ssawel until after Senator STAN
ford's death, and IL was necessary to substi-
tute the Stanford est ate as defendant In the
action. For the defense Ii was urged that
Stanford had negotiated for the purchase
of Beautiful Bells long before her FLY was
foaled, but that the negotiations were
dropped only to be taken up again. and
completed after the birth of the foal II
was also shown that for years Kinda Rose
had been trained and raced as Stan ford's
property, no question of ownership being
brought up until the tIotting mare was
ten years old.
In deciding in favor of the Palo Alto
stock farm Judge Seawell held that even
If Losses contentious were true that the
FLY was not included in the sale, yet that
from the time Senator Stanford COM
was conversion of the properly. The
statute of limitations operated from the
time of this conversion. and on hat ac-
count the claim of Louise had been long

can see are even more degrading to the
sanctity of marriage and the home. The
growth of socialism is one of the features
of the age.
'rhe alarming and UNPUBLISHED brutality
and cruelty in the home is undoubtedly
another reason for the decline o marriage.
In 1892 5000 women were murdered by
their husbands in this country. The easy
and unscriptural divorce is another of the
reasons why the popularity of marriage
has undoubtedly decreased"

OLD SOL KNOCKED OUT.


The Photographer Has No Longer Any
Need for Ills 'icrvlcos.
Old Sol has long been unnecessary in
the taking Of photographs.
Up to the present time, however, he
has probably exulted in thinking that
his uncertain services must lie had to
print the photograph.
But again the old chap has been
given the gotby, says the New York
Advertiser, and he is not now neces-
aity at any stage Of the gene, He may
snllr and hide his face or pop it cnt
from behind the clouds momentariiy
IS much as he pleases, but with pho
tographers he no longer cuts any
lee"
Electricity has scored victory over
the old chap, and it is practically a
knockout in this particular line.
Before pictures have been taken in
the daytime by the aid of electric light
and at night by flash light, blt to get
aproof printed one had to wait until
the next afternoon anyhow and some
times longer, all according to Old SOILS
humor.
Now one can go to his photographer
providing that gentleman has the
proper apparatus-atany time, even at
midnight, and sit for his photograph.
Not only that, if he Is willing 70 wait
half an hour he may receive nice, soft
print from the negative.
The apparatus consists OF an ordina-
ry camera, forty-dve hundred candle
power arc light for the taking, BIZ,
thousand candle power arc light for
the printing.
Instead Of sitting in the open room
the subject sits in sort Of canopy, the
sides and top being white and at the
back the ordinary background.
Instead Of having the light shine di-
rcctly on the subject it shines away
and is reflected softly back from the
white sides.
Watches were held for the test, and
six-second exposure was made The
plate was then developed ard dried
quickly, coming out good and clear. II
was then taken to the printi9g rao;a,
and after ten minutes under the iadu-
cnce Of the powerful arc light the pa
per and negative were taken from the
box. The print was remarkably soft,
clear and accurate.
All the time taken from the snap Of
the camera until the print was finished
was thirty-two minutes, and ordinary
materials only were used.
This relegates Old Sol to the rear--a
back number as photographers assist
ant.
The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1894-10-05

How many are there who are valu-
ing themselves by what they have, and
not by what they are. What they may
have be talent, or money or position;
it matters not what, but it is not their
very selves. True worth cannot be
separated from mans real self.
Money. position, even intellect, may
20; bat the sterling, i. e., the moral,
worth will remain. A sultan Of Mo-
rocco is said to hare discovered that
one of his viziers was becoming too
powerful. He therefore summoned
him to tea, and complimented him on
his great wealth. The vizier becoming
vain, boasted OF the number of his
houses, wives and slaves, and the
sultan rebuked him saying that he
was too rich. To show the man exact
ly what ne was worth, his majesty had
him taken by the soldiers to the slave
market, where he was put up for sale
and received only one bid of eight
pence. All his property was also taken
from him. The price which we put
upon ourselves and our fellow men put
upon us are two very different things.
