sold ROBBERY at the Norwood.

Last Sunday evening, Miss Frances E.
Bennett, who is just recovering from a
long illness, had occasion to leave her
room at the Norwood. Returning, she
was met at the door by well dressed
man. Bowling politely, he said; "Ex-
cuse me. Madame. l have mistaken the
room," and passed down stairs. Upon
entering the room she found that he had
taken her gold watch and silver fruit
knife, but it was too late to give the
alarm. AS yet no clue to the burglar
has been obtained. Evidently her re-
turn surprised him. for her purse and
other articles OF value were left. The
door was opened by skeleton key, ga
she left it locked

SOME Of those nitrate Hpeculators and
india-rubber sharps in New York, who
are agents for Brazilian producers or
have little concessions OF their own, are
airing their plutocratic pangs through
the papers of New York and Philadel-
phia, and calling on congress- to enforce
the Monroe doctrine in relation to the
Brazilian war. That's the way with
those fellows. Instead of investing
their money in the United States and
giving employment to their own hungry
countrymen. they 60 out to South Amer
lea where they can hire peon labor for
15 cents per day; and then, when they
see their enterprises in any danger. they
begin calling on the late lamentsd
James Monroe. These people cause an
omnipresent weariness.

WILLIAM HI. MILLS, the ablest railroad
man ever selected from "the fourth es-
tate" is quoted as having predicted dire
misfortunes to railway corporations in
addition to what have already trans
pired. 1t is fondly to be hoped that the
affsble gentleman at Fourth and Town
aend has been misquoted or is in error.
Those of the railroads that were able to
pay the interest on their bonds, due on
the lst day of this month, have already
paid it and can breathe free for the
next six months; and those who saw
plainly. three months ago. their inabil-
ity to pay on that day, have already
gone into the hands OF receivers. From
the present outlook the worst of the
shower is over and July will show a
clear sky for the corporations.

THE careful and discriminating way
in which Claus Spreckels and other rich
men Of San Francisco are giving money
for aid of the unemployed in that city
and, at the same time. attending to
business methods in seeing to it that
they work for it, is both far-seeing and
commendatle. To give away money
lavishly and without stopping to con-
sider whether the recipient of the
charity he deserving or not. is really no
cnariry at all. There are thousands of
pieces Of public work in aud about San

cuted for want Of money. Let these

VERY questionable is that part of the
Wilson tariff bill which raises the duty
on aluminium from 10 to % per cent. And
while we do not agree with some Of the
eastern papers that it should be placed
on the free list, there is conservative
figure. say, from z to 10 per cent, at
which it could be kept without hard
chip to any class. Aluminium is an
article for which there has been grow
ing demand in the past 20 years; and
which can be obtained by slight ex-
penditure of LABOR as cheaply in Amer
ica as elsewhere. Any tariff like 25 per
cent on articles like that, has tendency
to stihe home industry by prohibitory
taxation of what the common people
most need.

somn pedigree crank in the New York

SOME pedigree crank in the New York
Evening Post says that the Claypoles,
OF North Carolina. are the lineal de-
scendsnts OF old roundhead Oliver
Cromwell. They are evidently not of
the tribe of Dickens character, Mr..
Noah Claypole, who got his living by
watching on the side streets for little
children who were cent of errands and
robbing them of their sixpences. This is
q poor time for pedigrees in anything
but mares and stations. The question
is not whether mans ancestors were
people of greatness but whether he is
of any account himself. In word, we
are living in the reign OF the common
people.

ANDREW CARNEGIE is being heard

Now that the new year has come, and we are
well started on 1894, social circles are wa ring
up, and all are looking 10 ward to merry times
in the near future. Engagements and rumors
of engagements are on eyeryone's tongue, and
the pros and cons of each match are argued
and discussed from breakfast time until the
lights are turned out at night. Soon the pc
riod of consum nation of these engagements
will arrive, and then the marriage bells Will
merrily resound throughout the city. But be-
fore that time comes the term of preparation,
when not alone the BRIDE but her entire fam
lily, are in the thfoes OF planning, designing
and making ready for the great event. Then
is the period OF responsibility Tor the brides
parenls, Tor on them devoives the task of max
ing the greatest day OF her life pass of smooth
ly and ndsuccessfully. And this is no light task,
for there are a multitude of things to be
attended to, the overlooking OF any one of
which would be prone to result disastrousy
Not the least of these many things is the pre-
pairing OF the invitations and cards.
Invitations, and especially those Tor we'd
ding, aie governed by LEX non scripta"
which is as unsl;erable as the laws of the
Medes and Persians. Adherence to the proper
form stamps the sender as a person OF social
culture, while the slightest slip is certain TO be
commented upon, and is almost as good as a
passport to social ostracism. Therefore the
greatest care should be exercised in this direc-
ton.
There are so many points to be considered
and remembered in this connection that the
limits of a newspaper article hardly afford suf-
fcient scope. The only practical suggestion
which eau be made Is to consult some one ex-
perienced in such mstiers, and whose taste IS
beyond question. There is at least one such
man in Los Angeles. We refer TO NJ. German,
the well-known jeweler, at $50 South Spring
street. M. Germaa has been in the business
for years, and has made an especial study of
fine engraving, especially for social purposes.
His facilities are unsurpassed, comprising
everything useful in first-class engraving or

MORE COURT OPINIONS

From the Supreme Court Received Hore

Tho following opinions were received
from the supreme court yesterday for
filing in this city:

al, defendants, w. M. Ginty. appellant
On July 3, 1890, the plaintiff entered
into written agreement with the de-
fendants. j. B. Livingston, Clark & Co.,
whereby he leased to them the steamer
Farsilon for certain time, commencing
July 8, 1890, upon certain terms and
conditions, and to secure performance OF
the terms of the agreement ON their
part, the defendants delivered TO plain
tiff bond signed by themselves as
principals, and by W. M. Ginty and W.
H. Clarke as Hureties. The plaintiff
commenced this action, alleging that
Livingston, Clark & Co. had failed to
pay the full amount of money due
under the charter party for the use
OF the steamer, and demanding judgment
against all the defendants for the
amount SO due and unpaid, with inter-
est. Defendant Ginty denied that he,
as surety or otherwise, executed a
bond at all. Upon this issue the case
was tried by the court without a jury,
and Judgment went for the plaintiff.
Judgment appealed from is affirmed,
because in neither OF the cases was
there any claim that plaintiff was
estopped. and no such claim could have
been set up.
House ct al. respondents, w. Meyer,
appellant. The demurrer to this COM
plant was properly overruled In an
action like this to recover damages re-
sulting from alleged negligence of de-
fendant, general allegation of negli-
genoe on the part of the defendant is
sufficient.
The appeal in this case is without
merit.
Judgment and order affirmed.

and she was killed. At that time the
other animals were thought to be in
perfect health, and even to-day appear
SO. The herd consists of six cows,
three two years old heifers and is one
of the best in the county. This is the
first appearance Of the disease in this
section, and naturally farmers are con-
siderably agitated.
