WANTS HIS FEE.
A Lawyer After Two Acres and a Hall
of Sonoma County.

A Lawyer After Two Acres and Hall
of sonoma County.
Attorney August Tilden who offered tc
defend Dick Ward, a jockey at the Bay
District track, who, two years ago, was
arrested for the murder of a stable-boy
named Kelly, is getting weary of waiting
for his pay.
For his services he agreed to accept a
tract of land in Green Valley, Sonoma
County owned by Thomas Ward, the father
of the young murderer. Tilden claims
that he was to have. according to an agree
ment made, as a fee, two and hall
acres of land, valued at $3.50.
The trial was concluded and young Ward
was convicted and sent to the penitentiary
for the remainder of his natural life. Mr.
Ward did not meet his agreement with his
sons attorney with reference to the COM
pensation.
Tilden finally brought suit in the Jus.
tees Court, but was defeated, and has
now taken an appeal to the Superior Court.
Reducing City Finances.
The Finance Committee of the City
. Council met tonight and discussed the
proposed dismissal of city officials for the
purpose of reducing expenditures.
1t was decided to recommend that the
offices of first and second assistants to the
Fire Department be abolished and one
office of first assistant and Fire Warden be
created This will let out Miles Doody
and retain Murdoch. 1t was also decided
to recommend the abolishing of the offices
of License Inspector at present filled by
Lewis Mitchell, and City Murderer, filled
by a. J. McMurty.
There will be much opposition to the
changes, but all will probably be made,
- -,
may be retained.
The committee also took up the tax levy,
and although somewhat undecided it is
likely they will recommend it to be fixed
at 81 19.

Menino,s wife Saved the Coin.

Fred Mason is on trial in Judge Wallace's
court charged with attempting to swindle An
tonic Menino out of $4,000 by lottery game

he had won $4,000 in q lottery on O'Farrel
street, but deposit of that amount OF money
was required before the lottery payment could
be made. Menino had the money in the Hi
hernia Bank and he went and got it. He was
cautious enough to have his wife with him
and, although the woman was at first elateo
over the prospect of the addition to her hus

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Executive Session Held by
the Free Library Trus-
tees Yesterday.
Private Citizens May Build the
Library and Then Lease 1t
to the City.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Sept. 5.-City Trustees
Leydecker, Hammond and Clark were in
executive session Tuesday with the Board
of Free Library Trustees, all of whom were
present except George FL. Mastick. The
question of the erection of the library
building was thoroughly discussed. Esti-
mates were presented to show that the
levy, with the special tax of 20 cents for
the building, should not be more than
81 26 for city purposes and on this theory
the three trustees expressed themselves
favorable to the project. The city attorney
has, however expressed doubt as to the
legality of the tax to create the library
building fund. They could not levy tax
for library purposes, though they could
make the general fund large enough to be
able to appropriate money out of that fund
to erect the building. To overcome the
objections suggestion was made that the
building be built by private citizens inter-
ested and then leased to the city, whose
payments of rent might be accepted as
installments on the cost of the purchase
price, something after the manner of build
ing and loan association payments.

Mrs. McLean,s Testimony.

Mrs. Carrie Mclean, the defendant in the
divorce case now on trial in Judge. Hebbard's
court, was a witness yesterday. She denied
the charges made by her husband and declared
that Mr. Mclean was insanely jealous. No
denial was made in regard to her friendship
for Watt but it was only friendship. She had
been to the Turkish dance at the streets OF
Cairo, she said, but she left the place as soon
as she saw the character OF the performance;
Ever since she met Watt she had been followed
by her husbands private detectives, and the
latter followed her wherever she went. Inc
case will probably be concluded to-day.

and a Third of Turn-Up Noses.
The Russian army is full of strange
features. Thus the biggest fellows are
detailed for duty in the bodyguard reg
iment, 'Preobrashenski," founded by
Peter the Great, and originally compos-
ed of that monarch's personal friends,
all giants in their way. The Cars
family take great pride in this regi-
ment, and on the named day Of it's pa

ambassadors and ministers. Then there
is the Ihnailkowski regiment, where
only blondes are tolerated, and the
Well-known Pawlow Guards, all Of
whom must have turn-up noses. The

the other hand, admit only dark-haired
n,en. The guard officers, being privi-
legged by birth as we'll as rank in their
chosen professions, treat their colleagues
il, the line almost as badly as the latter
treat their SubalternS Up to a few
years ago, says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
the distinction between them was such
that a guard lieutenant had precedence
over the captain of the line. The late
Cars father changed the state of
things somewhat, but not much. A
major of the guards would, even to-
day, rank higher than line colonel, ii
there were such person. But the adj
yancement of the regular army officer
seldom SurpaSses the rank Of battalion
cher. Men having attained that dis
tnction are generally made command

guard officers or general staff officers
obtain the colonelship or lieutenant col
cnelship Of the regiment to which they
devoted their lives.
Only very rarely does a line officer
succeed in obtaining commissioning the
war academy, and eventually in the
general staff. 1t should be mentioned,
however that the majority are untitled
for such advancement. The require

the line are considerably less stringent
than those upon which the admission to
