ASHES GUARDIANSHIP
1t Is Shown That Tom Williams naligned the
Young 7an

San Francisco, March 11.-R. Porter
Ashe is no longer the guardian of Sarah
Althea Hill Terry, who now languishes
in the Stockton asylum for the insane,
her mind unbalanced by trying exper-
fences. After examining the books of
the estate the court issued an order reliev-
ing Mr.. Ashe from further responsibility
in the case.
The accounts showed that Ashe had ex!
pended almost $500 of his own money for
the maintenance of his charge.
Trouble has been brewing for some time
between Ashe and Tom Williams, Mrs.
Terry's present guardian, over the affairs
Of the estate, Williams charging that
Ashe has misused certain moneys and
done other things in a shady manner, but
the accounts submitted, and which were
approved by Judge Slack, show that Ashe
had served honorably and well.

The Silent CITY

Many stories have been written about
mirages and decisions, but none have
been more interesting and curious than
that of the Silent City mirage, which
makes its appearance near the Pacific
Glacier in Alaska. The discovery of this
wonderful mirage was made by the In
dams, who would tell of the city which
was built in the clouds. The mirage can
be seen in the early part of July, from
5 to 8 p. IN. 1t rises from the side of the
Pacific Glacier. 1t first appears like a
heavy mist, and soon becomes clearer;
and one can distinctly see the specter

A Good Smuggling Story

One of the most amusing sotries OF
smugglers is that told by an Englishman
who imported into his own country a
number of fine fat geese at the Christmas
season many years ago. One of them
having excited the suspicion OF the in
spectors by its wonderful weight, was
killed and opened, upon which it was
discovered, says the chronicler, that
there were concealed within it a number
OF dutiable articles. The rest of the flock
having been similarly inspected, it was
found that their owner had compelled
the unhappy birds to swallow a large
quantity Of stuff upon which there was
heavy duty and which would have all
come free had not the first goose excited
the suspicion of those in charge.

Superior Court Judge Wallace Of San Francisco
the Recipient
San Francisco, March 1l.-Judge Wallace
received most obscene and threatening
letter yesterday, signed Charles Will
son." 1t purported to come from the
brother of the map whom he sentenced to
forty years imprisonment on two charges
of robbery last Friday, and threatened
that the writer will kill him unless he
reduces his sentence.
The letter is not thought much of by his
honor. He quietly turned it over to the
sheriff and left the matter in his hands.
It is believed the letter is an attempt to in
timidate the court from passing heavy
sentence upon John Smith. Wilson'S part
ner in crime, when he comes up for SEN
tence on a second charge Of robbery.
Wilson and Smith were the two men who
made such a scene in Judge Wallace s

win Ron Int Victoria

Victoria, B. c., March 1.-THE Great
Northern railway is to be extended to
Victoria. The proposition is to connect
the main land of the state of Washington
with the Island Of Vancouver by a ferry
built to carry across the cars, to make
Z landing a short way outside OF Victoria
and run into the city. Though the
scheme is an assured thing, there is di-
versity of opinion as to the route to be
taken. One idea is to run the proposed
ferry from Fair Haven to Gordon Head,
passing south Of Lumm island and north
Of Cypress and Urieasis islands and north
et San Juan. This route is long one
and that is the objection against it.
The other route would be from Ana
cortes, to run between Decatur and Blake
~ islands to Victoria. There is still
another route, and that is to give the is
lands wide berth and to enter the straits
OF San Juan de Fuca by way OF Rosario
straits: That route would be in the
"open" entirely and shorter than the
other two, but the passage for Z ferry
more rough and dangerous.
