SOME DAY; SOME DAT.

Some day-so many fearful eyes
Are watching for the davping Light
So many faces toward the skiss
Are wesry of the night.
So many falling prayers that reel
And stagyer upward through the storm;
And yearnirg hands that reach and feel
No pressure true and wsrmi
50 many hearts whose crimson vine
Is wasted TO purple stain,
And blurred and stresked with drops OF brine
Upon the lips OF painl
o come TO them--those weary onest
Or, If thou still must bide q while.
Make stronger yet the hops that runs
Before thy coming smile.
And haste and find them where they wait.
Let summer winds blow down that way,
Ard all they long for, soon or late,

legacy from the estate of the deceased. and

Delegate Thornton explained that San

afford to slight the greatest commercial

PINK OLEOMARGARINE.
Is 1t Not Possible to Use CoIoring to
Do Away With Fraud?
New York Herald

-NeW 1Ork Eerdiu.
An Interesting case has arisen in Minnesota
Involving the right of State arbitrarily 10
Tx by law the color of TODD products. The
Legislature OF that State not long ago enacted
statute providing that all oleomargarine
and other substitutes for butter offered for
sale I'D lis mars cts should be colored in Ger
tain shade OF pink. One of the largest pack
ing companies OF the West, in spite OF this
law, has been sending into Minnesota great
quantities OF oleomargarine of natural color,
which Is light yellow, closely resembling
mat OF genuine butter. The Stale Food and
Dairy Commission brought suit against tic
nrm. and the latter has appealed 10 the United
states courts for an order to restrain the COM
mission from Interfering with its business. The
petition alleges that the Minnesota law is null
and void In that IL conflicts with The fifth
amendment IN the Federal constitution. The
company contends. MOI cover, that 10 color its
oleomargarine would be injurious and destruc.
live oil Its character. ! he product, IL contends
Is worth IA cents pound when marketed un-
der Iis natural color as a food product, but II
sold for other purposes would be worth only
about or cents i pound.
Whether a State has the sower TO define the
color under which manufactured food products
shall be sold is novel and interesting one III
II may declare, for instance, that none but pink
oleomargarlne shall be sold. why should IL not
20 ahead and announce that all substitutes for
coffee shall be cOl0red green, all limitations of
lard blue and all articles for use In place of
olive oil bright crimson? The color posslbil-
tiles Of such a scheme are.practicaily lmtless.
With a specific color fixed by law for each arti-
Gle entering Into domestic consumption The
noble art Of cooking would take on new and
gorgeous hues, and the grOcers life would be-

STILL QUIBBLING.
The Pacific Insurance Union on the
Rebate Question.

The internal difficulties in the Pacific H.
surance Union are not yet settled. An
other turbulent meeting was held vester-
day without result and an adjournment
taken until today. The fac. that the en-
tire day from 1880 A. NJ. until P. NJ was
consumed in elaboration did not seem to
help the situation any. The Oakland and
Alameda County members of the union
are determined that their privilege of re-
batting shall not be curtailed. They re-
sorted at the meeting yesterday to every
manner of fiiibustering, parliamentary ar
gument ana the calling of technical
points to accomplish their ends, for the
question is one OF money to them. If they
can vie with competitors in the matter of
rebates they can increase business accord
ingly; but # tied down to q 20 per cent
limir, as the rules of the union prescribe,
then the little fellows in the business will
stand just as much show as the big ones,
and 20 this they object.
The San Francisco delegation on the
other hand stands mostly to the support
OF the minor brokers. 1t was for just
such contingency as the present that the
union was formed after the heavy rate
war in 1S8S-S9. So that the present diff
Guilty Sits DOVE to aqueStiOn as to wheth or
il is worth while for the union to make
rules-in other words for the union to ex-
ist at ALL
There seems to be much feeling in the
matter on both sides. For awhile in yes
terday's meeting it looked as IL there were
to be complete splitup. The interior
agents wished either to withdraw from the
union or TO have the 20 per cent rule made
imperative Ou side of the city: and they
almost succeeded in securing the conces-
sion. But the emphasis that some OF the
city people placed upon the necessity of
continuing the union held them back un-
til adj0urning time.
The entire matter will come up again to-
day, when it is expected final and salts
factory settlement will be reached.

Or. b II. Hal. testimony from the
notes taken at the time.
To this Mr.. Knight objected. and an at
tempt was nj AIDE to draw out the doctors
testimony. Finally Mr.. knight withdrew
his objection and permitted DR.. Gray to
read from his notes. DR.. Gray then en-
tered into a long explanation of the results
of the autopsy.
Under the cross-examnation of Mr..
Knight DR.. Gray said in his opinion the
injury which caused the death OF the girl
could not have been caused by pair of
fOrceps, but with a sharp instrument, and
with considerable force. The autopsy re-
vealed no structural formation which
would render an operation necessary.
To further questioning by MIR. Knight
DR.. Gray said there could be no mistake
about the puncture, that the conditions
could not be produced by fall. The re-
mainder Of the crosS-eXamination was
devoted TO securing from DR.. Gray expert
opinion as to what would be done by
reputable physicians under similar circum-
stances.
Mr.. knight was late in arriving after the
noon recess, and Judge Daingerfield
gently admonished him. it being MIR.
Knights second cffense of the kind Our
ing the day. After Mr.. knight made his
apologies. c. B. Horton, who IN company
with McArdle first called on DR.. Hall at
his residence on Seventeenth street, de-
tailed the circumstances attending tha.
visit TO the Hall residence. Mr.. Horizons
testimony mainly reviewed the questions
put to DIR. Hall at that time. Evidence as
to McArdle's demeanor at the time of the
interview and questions as TO the receipt
of certain registered letters by Miss Shat
tuck at the Hall residence on Seventeenth
street were ruled out under objections by
the defense.
c. j. Stllwel testified to the meeting
between Hall and McATdle in FALLS office
" hen DR.. Hall and his son jumped upon
and beat McArdle.
The only lively tilt between counsel
arose over the testimony of Mr.. S;illwel
as TO the frame of mind of McArdle dur
ing this period. Mr.. Hosmer desired to
show that McArdle was worried and an
nOyed over the stories afioat, but knight
objected.
Judge Daingerfield overruIed the! objec-
ton and Mr.. Stillwell testified as to the
state of mind of McArdle during the time
and what ne said and did.
Tho remainder of the afternoon was
taken up by the reading of the testimony
of John McArdle at the previous trial.
This portion of McArdle's testimony re-
lated to letters received from Ida Shattuck
and her movements and McArdle's at diff
ferent times during their acquaintance.
Owing to the long delay in bringing the
case 10 trial many of the witnesses are un
certain as to the details Of their previous
testimony. Furthermore many of the i'm
p0rtant witnesses are absent, and by slip.
ulatlOn of counsel their evidence as given
at the former trial is read TO the jury.

THOSE RIFLEMEN
Who Are Filling Targets
With Lead.
Some of the Best Scores Made at
Shell Mound Yesterday-At
Schuetzen Park.

Yesterday was the second day of the
midwinter shooting festival at Shell
Mound Park. The attendance was not as
large as was expected, but this was due to
the rain which fell in tho forenoon. Still
there were goodly number of sharp
shooters who tried their skill at the tar
gets.
The Golden Gate target was not be-
sieged by as many marksmen yesterday as
it was on Sunday. The first medal of the
day was won by F. Atzeloth. The follow
ing are the names of those winning Golden
Gate medals yesterday F. Atzeloth. l..
Haake. F. Attinger. F. Schumann and Max
Schwab.
The Midwinter Fair targets were be-
seged by sharp-eyed shooters all through
the day, the targets being open from 10
A. NJ. to P. NJ. The score made by W.
Glindemann, given in yesterdays CALL,
has not been surpassed. though Mr.. Gin
demann has great deal to fear from Os-
wald Schluter of the Sacramento Swiss
Rife Club. Mr.. Schluter scored 70 out of
a possible 100, leaving Glindemann but
two points ahead. A. Strecker is another
marksman that may surpass the score
Schluter and Strecker are tie in totals,
but by Creedmoor ruling the latter is in
the lead. Following are the best scores
made on the MidWinter Fair tarpat.
