CLUNIE THE LOSER.
An Opinion in the Case of Henry Sutlif
Against His Assignee Given
Yesterday.

An opinion in the case of Henry Sutliff
against Andrew j. Clunie was handed
down by the Supreme Court yesterday,
and the verdict against the defendant is
affirmed.
Sutliff owned a cigar-store on Kearny
street, and when he failed Clunie was APP
pointed assignee. Thomas j. Clunie, the
assignee's brother, was attorney in the
case, and he bought up all the claims, adj
vancing money for the payment. An the
claims were afterward paid IN full. Clunie
was reimbursed and he protited by the
transaction, but Sutliff brought suit on the
ground that his attorney had no right to
the profits.
In the opinion rendered yesterday Justice
Van Fleet says:
The court below found that in the traDsac-
ton in question the defendant and Thomas ].
Clunie acted fairly and openly and without
any frauds whatever. The evidence fully sup
ports that finding, and 1 do not understand
the fact is disputed by any one. The whole
difficulty originated in the disinterested will
ingness of Thomas j. Clunfe to assist the
plaintiff out of his embarrassments.
So far as disclosed by the record, purely out
of friendship and without any expectation of
profit to himself, he gave his own personal
obligations for The payment OF plaintiffs debts
This he did under the understanding and with
the reasonable expectation that plalntH would
supply him with money to meet them at ma
turity. This plaintiff failed to do, and Mr..
Clunie was, therefore, compelled to pay them
himself. To protect himself against loss, he
was clearly justified in taking assignments OF
the claims so paid.
For these reasons should be glad to find any
way by which this consequence could be
avoided. But it is evident that the rule re-
ferred to interposes an insuperable obstacle.
To the extent necessary for his protection, the
law would recognize and give effect to the as
signments in Mr.. Clunie's hands, even had
they been taken without plaintiffs knowledge
and consent. While, therefore, can
not regard the conduct of plaintiff as COM
mendable, and although Mr.. Clunie's inten-
tions appear to have been strictly honorable,
yet 1 am forced to the conclusion that under
the law the plaintiff is entitled to the profit of
the transaction, and that therefore the de-
PENDANT was not justified in paying the money
to his brother, as he did.
Chief Justice Beatty dissents from this
decision.

WORK IN THE HOPYARDS.

Sacramento Growers Apply to the
Labor Bureau for Help.
Over 200 men who had been at work
sweeping streets for the Merchants Asso-

called upon Mr.. Dohrmann yesterday to
thank the association for the assistance, in
the shape of work, received during the re-
cent hard times.
Yesterday the Labor Bureau received an
order from hop-grower near Sacramento
for $50 men, women and children to pick
hops. They will be paid between rs cents
and 81 per hundred pounds and can earn
from 81 so to 81 30 day and the work is
light. The work will last about two
months. John H. burst of Wheatland
promises to call on the bureau for help to
gather his crop of hops. He says his
neighbors have agreed to send to the
bureau for their help.

OF the National flag and in bringing the

history Of what has already been done dur
ing the brief agitation, many expressions
of opinion and many cuts showing how
the flag is used in the great American City
of Chicago to advertise beer, theater takers
and so on.
Bills to prevent the Dissertation of the
United States flag were introduced in
both houses of the last Congress, one in
the House in January, 1894. Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota introduced
bill making it a misdemeanor to use the
flag by printing or painting thereon or
attaching thereto any advertisement for
private gain by public display. The Sons
of the American Revolution were largely
responsible for the bills. No action was
taken on either bill, and Senator Mitchell
of Wisconsin has stated thatit was thought
hest to ascertain public sentiment first.

A WIFE,S PETITION.
Mrs. DR.. Keane Wants to Be the
Guardian of Her Husband.

Mrs. DR.. Keane Wants to Be the
Guardian of Her Husband.
Mrs. Theodosia Keane has again applied
to the Superior Court for letters of guar
dianship over the person and estate of her
husband, DR.. George B. Keane, whom she
declares to be incompetent.
The Keanes were married twenty years
ago and they have five children. Commu-
nifty property, according to the petition,
yields them an income of $500 a month.
OF her husband Mrs. Keane says: "For
more than year, by reason of a severe
spell of sickness, the excessive use of in
toxicants and a naturally morbid DISPOSE
ton, he has been mentally incompetent to
take proper care of his person or property
and has been imposed upon by designing
persons, whereby his income and property
have been wasted and sacrificed"
About year ago similar proceeding
was begun and the court decided in the
doctors favor. Mrs Keane conducts a
fashionable clearinghouse at San Rafael.

regulations. In America no law prohibits
the use OF the National flag for everything.
1t is only in the army and navy regula-
tions that respectful treatment of the flag
is prescribed, and no one can doubt that
the patriotism of naval men is conserved
and deepened by their daily habit of turn
ing toward the lowering flag with barred

Once when General Grant was in Galena,
ILL.,. during his campaign of 1868, he saw
across the street a big flag bearing the
names, Grant and Colfax' He turned to
one near him and said: II wish you would
have that tag taken down or those names
taken oft. There is no name so great that

any part of the money, LETT over from the

printing literature for the California exhibit

up with its $3.50. This, with the money the
other counties have appropriated, makes up
