a Mean Trick

Last Saturday, says the Salisbury

Gle George" Williams had kindly tax

and given employment, painting his
house. very suddenly disappeared.
without even saying goodbye or
collecting q balance OF % due
him on his work. A little investiga-
ton revealed the fact that he had
plundered the house and taken IS
from Miss Dola Browne trunk. He
also cariessly left the paint out
where the stock could get 10 IL,
which resulted in the killing Of q
good COW. He said that his name
was Hughes and his home in Liver.

pense for kindly treatment of the
provsrbial poor tramp OUT OF q

Shaughnessy, as stated in our last issue, was

Mr.. W. L. STEAD, the editor OF the
English Review of Reviews, who is
now in Chicago. is very positive that
Mr.. Gladstone will resign in the very
near future. He does not give any
reason for his belief. but it is probably
based on the facts of the premier's
great age, his increasing dullness Of
hearing, and the weakening of his sight.
Mr.. Stead fixes his resignation to take
place before April. He thinks Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt would succeed
him if he resign during the present par
lament. The next few months that
Harcourt would fill the vacancy would
satisfy his ambition, and he would then
leave the place of prime minister to be
filed by the next Liberal administra-
ton with Lord Roseberry, who is the
only Liberal leader who can in any
sense be considered as leader of his
party. This is of course the way in
which Mr.. Stead constructs his political
house of the future. But many things
may happen to tumble it in pieces.

HAD NO JURISDICTION.

Judge York Decides an Important Point
Yesterday.
Judge York rendered the following
opinion yesterday in the case of j. W.
Retzman vs. F. E. Burnham, an action
for damages for conversion of real prop
erty
1.-THE alleged conversion consisted in
o levy upon and sale of personal proper
ty of plaintiff by a constable on an exc
cution issued by S justice OF the peace in
an action wherein the plaintiff in this
action was defendant and the defendant
in this action was plaintiff. The execu-
ton is claimed to have been issued
without jurisdiction on the part of the
justice, because the justice had no iuris-
diction to render judgment against the
plaintiff therein. Loss of jurisdiction of
the justice in that case ia alleged to
have resulted from the filing Of ahtadi-
davit by the defendant in the Justices
court case before the trial."
Judge York declares he is of opinion
that the statute under consideration is
mandatory, and that filing the affidavit
as alleged in the complaint in this &C.
tion with the justice and motion based
thereon for q change of the place OF
trial, sit was the imperative duty OF the
justice to change the place of trial, aud
that he had no jurisdiction of the cause
after such motion except to change the
place of trial, and that the Judgment
rendered by him was void for want oil
jurisdiction. The demurrer to the com.
plant ia oyerruled."

THREE men recently were sent to jail
in Humboldt county for shooting deer
out Of season for their hides and horns.
1t is unnecessary to add that these men,
who 90 up for 100 days each, were Of the
class known in the northern counties of
California and southern part of Oregon
as skin hunters" The only regret is
that any county should be taxed for the
expense of keeping such worthless fell
lows in jail. Most of them are outcasts
who have said good-by to hard work
and are mated with a squslid savage"
in the full belief that marriage is a
failure" and honest labor degrading. 1t
was the operations of such as these that
made deer 80 scarce in this state as to
require law to prohibit shooting them
at all from 1890 to 1898. Most of the
venison consumed in Los Angeles comes
from railroad towns in New Mexico and
Arizona.

WE ARE greatly taken with dispatch
from San Francisco announcing that a
diver named Ryan has succeeded in To-
eating the steamer Brother Jonathan,
which sank in the ocean. some miles out
OF Crescent City, in 1865, with 147 souls
on board, and million dollars in treas
ure. Only nineteen men succeeded in
getting ashore, all the rest were lost.
Ryan says that, with the assistance OF
one of the survivors, he located the
spot where she was lost, and went down
in submarine armor and found her.
This is wonderful piece of news. She
sank in very deep water, aud Ryan ssys
it is 80 dark where she lies that he could

THE appreciative people of Los An
geles are now being treated with series
of lectures from DR.. Jordan, the prin-
cipal of the Stanford university, upon the
evolution or differentiate principle in
the origin OF the human species. 1t lie
one of those scholarly and at the same
time popularity comprehensive courses
upon mysterious and reconcile sub
ject which can be made amazingly in
teresting by lecturer possessing the
faculty of clear presentation. DR.. Jordan
possesses this faculty with exceptional
affluence. His facility of expression,
backed by the great store of special
knowledge he has acquired of a subject
upon which science is only diminishing
the frontier bounds, creates a profound
interest in his auditors and deeply i'm
presses their minds with the vast field
for scientific and philosophic explors-
ton which this theme opens. The
doctor, in his lectures, not only shows
that he has cleaned his knowledge from
every available source in the literature
upon the interesting topic, but that he
has been deep original thinker and a
scientific experjmenter of the various
phenomena connected with the process
of physical change and evolution. That
his course of lectures is highly appre-
ciated in Los Angeles is fact OF which
we feel justly proud.
