A COUNTY superintendent in q neighboring county recently asked every teacher at the county insti- tute that took their local paper to hold up their hand, and out ot about one hundred present only six responded, at which he expressed great surprise and said: "You don't spend one dollar with these papers, yet you expect them to print free of charge, notices of institute; insert long program of the same, take full reports, of what you do and say on these occasions, publish your school reports, and then expect him to advertise you and your ability in your >hosen profession, thus assist ing you to climb the ladder to higher positions and better salaries with out cents patronage in return. You also think that if the editor does not visit your school and ex- ploit your methods and the pro- greas your scholars are making which is to your manifest personal advantage, that he is derelict to duty, never stopping to think that you have been equally derelict, if not more culpable, in neglecting to bestow upon him the cheap and scanty approval of years sub scription to his paper" He closed by saying: Your conduct in this matter would lead me, were l an editor of one of these papers. to promptly throw into the waste basket any communication sent me by any society, the members of which were too proud or too stingy to take my paper, or if I inserted it to demand full advertising rates for every line inserted.
 The ahove clipped from the MoberIy, (Mo.) Monitor is just reproof to that class of profession als. who expect everything from the press of the country, but grant nothing in return. It applies to Arizona and other western states and territories as we'll as to Mis- souri, and should be gentle lesson in give and take.

NO TIDINGS OF THE COLUSA
THE VESSEL IS FORTY DAYS OVER
DUE FROM TACOMA FOR
SHANGHAI.
CAUGHT IN THE BIG GALE WHICH
SENT Two GOLFERS TO
THE BOTTOM.

The American bark Colusa, bound from
Tacoma for Shanghai is ninety-three days
out and grave fears are entertained for her
safety. She left Tacoma on December 3.
with cargo of lumber on board, and has
not been spoken or sighted since. Five
days after she sailed the most frightful
storm ever experienced on the coast set in,
and for four days ragged with unabated vio-
lence All coastwise vessels between here
and the sound which were out at the time
were anxiously looked for, and anxiety for
their welfare only ceased when they were
safely in port 1t was in this storm that
the overladen GOLFERS Montserrat and Ke-
weenaw went down with all hands on
board and it is feared by many that the
Colusa has met the same fate.
An average time to Shanghai for such a
vessel is fifty days, and it is difficult to put
a limit on the voyage to the westward. and
the George +. Manson, fleet craft as she is,
occupied over eighty days on her last vow
age to the Orient. The Colusa is owned bv
George F. Smith & Co. of this city and is
commanded by Captain Backus, who is
very well known on the coast. Mr. Smith
said yesterday that he was not worried by
the long voyage of the bark and cited
the run of the Manson as criterion for
I'll pS dCIOSo Vic dSiilCs IL LOOk the crack
bark George F. Manson eighty-two DAYS to
go to Shanghai" said he, land the Colusa
is a slower boat"
The underwriters do not share Mr..
Smiths confidence in the safety of the
long-overdue bark. From time to time the
wreckage of some unknown vessel has been
washed ashore near the sound and unac-
counted-for derelicts have been sighted at
sea. 1t is feared that some of this wreck
age belonged to the Colusa, but on the
other hand it is argued that if the vessel
were wrecked some OF her lumber would
have turned up. Still, with all the argli-
ments in the vessels favor, the fact exists
that she is more than forty days overdue
at Shanghai.
The Colusa is, or was, one of the best
known vessels sailing in or out of port.
She is an old-timer, having been on the
coast for nearly twenty years. She was
built in Bath, Me-, in 1873, and was for
merly owned by Stevens, Baker & Co., who
ran her between this port, New York and
Liverpool until she was bought by George
F. Smith & Co. She is 1883 tons gross and
1923 net, and is 1879 feet in length, SO IS
feet breadth of beam and "a y feet in depth
of hold. She carried double topgallant
yards, double topsail yards and main
skysail yard. A popularity about her was
her high jibboom and bowsprit. 1t is esti-
mated that the hull is worth 10000, and
ship, cargo and freight are insured in the
Home Mutual Insurance Company and re-
insured in other concerns.

Attorney Smith, for the defendant, said
he was perfectly willing and had been will
ing, before Mary O'Donnell swore TOT the
complaint, to give her deed to the lot in
question, or the exact amount the lot
would cost the company. This the COM
planning witness had declined to accept.
The sole reason for the prosecution lay in
the fact that the company had an agree
ment with the Sunnyside Land Company
to pay $3.50 for each lot, and they were sold
for $500, a profit of 1920. When Miss
O'Donnell found that she was paving more
for her lot than the company was paying
to the Sunnyside Company she wanted her
money back.
Mrs. Hunter testified that in June, 1894,
Miss O'Donnell wanted her money back,
but never said that she wanted a deed, or
offered to pay up the balance due. At the
time Miss O'Donne1 said she was ready to
pay up the balance she was asking the wit
ness not only for the money she had paid
on the lot, but for $50 from witness, which
was given her. Witness contradicted Miss
O'Donnell on other points.
Letters were produced from Miss O'Don-
nell showing that she was hard up in the
country, and wanted $50 to start a laundry.
The Judge continued the case for week

HOW MULES 60 TO SEA.
A Few of the Difficulties Experienced
in Shipping Them.

in Shipping Them.
A mule is-well, mule is what nature
intended him to be, whether at sea or
ashore, and his mind is as immovable as
the eternal hills. About a dozen of this in
corrigible species was embarked yesterday
on board the bark Annie Johnson, con-
signed to Honolulu, and the difficulty I'M
dergone by the vessels crew in persuading
the home-loving animals to quit their
native stable was enough to drive the av-
erage gentle, patient, long-suffering sailor
man mad
The first trial was getting the mules
down to the water front. The saline
smells of the bay were not agreeable to
mule nostrils, and the forests of masts, fes-
TONED with things that looked like halter
ropes, was not a pleasing object to mule
eyes. And then the Annie Johnson her
self appeared uncanny and decidedly I'M
certain as a mule habitation. Moreover
the Hawaiian Islands, aside from the fact
that they were 700 leagues away, was not
place where mules could expect to be
happy; consequently they objected with
menacing heels and plaintive brays to such
forceful deportation.
On the wharf cages or portable stalls had
been rugged, and into these seemingly in
nocent contrivances it was confidently ex-
pected that the mules would walk with all
the submissiveness of the proverbial lamb.
But the mule generally does not walk that
way, and these twelve were no exceptions
to the rule. They "shied' at the hos
pitable-appearing stalls, and their lively
heels kept the dock clear more effectively
than whole detail of harbor police could
have done.
Mind finally triumphed over mule matter
and they were Gagged: Then came the
'swing" aboard and it is safe to say no
such frantic animals were ever before seen.
Every turn of the steam-winch lifting them
through the air brought out the most
earnest kicking possible in the muscles of
mule. The planks of the strong structure
resounded in a thunderous tattoo from the
swinging hoofs, and the splinters flew over
bark and bay.
But even mules must give away to man,
and the mechanical means he brings to aid
him in his nefarious schemes, and the
exiles were all securely stabbed on the deck.
Several of the crew were more or less kicked
for their officiousness in forcing mules to
leave their natal heath, but the Annie
Johnson got her cargo and they are prob
ably now pleasantly engaged in kicking her
rail overheard, while the good bark bounds
away over the ocean.

A Home Destroyed.
BERKELEY.

The published rumors to the effect that
the new charter has been invalidated on
account of the Legislature adopting the
section among others creating the office of
Justice of the Peace by concurrent resolu-
ton, while the constitution provides the
office shall be created by a bill, has been
proven to be false, at least to a reasonable
extent. The cases of the San Diego and
Oakland charters, in which the same
question arose, are cited by the friends of
Berkeley's charter in confirmation of their
assertions. Even if the section is illegal
it would not inyalidate the rest of the
measure. Still, to settle all doubts, the
Legislature will be asked to remove all
the legality of the towns new form of
government.
Independent Taxpayers.
The first meeting of the campaign was
held Tuesday night in the Ham block,
when the executive committee of the indie
pendent Taxpayers held session. The
members spent the evening in discussing
the method of nominating the Town Trus-
tees. The two methods most in favor con-
sist of appointing fifteen delegates from
each ward and allowing them to make the
nominations, or to hold ward primaries.
After deciding to hold the convention
April the meeting adjourned.

Their Cases.

Imitators of Stop-Over Robinson Win
Their Cases.
Justice of the Peace Barry gave judg-
ment against the Southern Pacific Com
pany in two suits that were tried before
him yesterday. The testimony was almost
identical with that given in the many
actions of DR.. Robinson against the cor
poration, and the suits hinged on the right
of the railroad to refuse stop-over privileges
on tickets from San Francisco to Oakland
or Alameda.
The first suit was that of c. H. LOOMS,
whose right to stop over at Broadway, Oak
land, on ticket from San Francisco to
Alameda was denied by the company. He
was given damages in the sum of $500.
Thomas D. Pool, on a similar complaint,
was awarded damages in the same amount.
