vivisected by Hoyt, and in "a Temperance
Town" it is said that he has painted the
two classes-the prohibs and the antis-to
the life.
In this comedy Hoyt has aimed little
higher than usual for besides satirizing
the farce comedy of the prohibition senti-
ment in the small towns in New Eng gland,
he has introduced stronger dramatic in
terest than usual by weaving pathos into
the fabric of the play. His scenes, which
would be as applicable to Iowa or South
Dakota as to Vermont, are said to be studies
from life. This is the first appearance of
"a Temperance Town in San Francisco.
1t has enjoyed considerable success in the
East, and in Boston had a run of six
months. Hoyt will accompany the play to
this city and viii personally superintend
its production.
One of the principal members of the
company that Will appear at the California
Theater on Monday is L. R. Stockwell,
whose several years connection with
local theatricals has made him very
familiar to California audiences. In "a
Temperance Town" Stockwell plays the
part of Mink" Jones, a common drunk
ard mink" is shiftless, happy-go-
lucky individual, but nevertheless man
who has some noble traits of character. AS
played by Stockwell it has come to be one
of the strongest characters III the piece.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AR
CUES AGAINST CLAIMS OF

WHEN 1T IS BASED ON PRESENT
REoIETED VALUES OF THE
PROPERTIES.
SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Mr.. ChiIds Holds Roads Should
NOT 49, Cor Interest on Pres
E. ent Value.

Attorney General Childs held the
floor in Judge Kerr's court most of
the afternoon yesterday making his
address in behalf of the state in the
Great Northern grain rate case. At
torney Grover resumed his argument
in behalf of the Great Northern
when court opened in the morning,
and after Mr.. Childs, who followed
him, concluded in the evening, At
torney Kellogg began his argument
in behalf of the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Kellogg had not finished when
court adjourned, but will conclude
this morning, when the case will be
submitted to Judge Kerr to exercise
his brain upon during a portion Of
his vacation.
In his address, Attorney General
Childs said, in part:
1T is an unjust measure of the
value of railroad property to say it is
worth so much, as compared with ad-
joining property, because that value
arises by reason of the existence of the
roads. Wipe out all the railroads in
the state and what would it cost for
terminals and right of way? / can not
in justice assent to the proposition That
the Great Northern or Northern Pa
ciffc right-of-way is entitled to much
consideration in this case. Under the
system of tax on the gross earnings
of the roads they do not pay their just
Share of taxation"
Mr.. Childs then read from A B.
Stickney's book, 1.-The Railway Prob
lem" with reference to the rover
welded by railway corporations and
their officials in the making of laws
and their administration. Continuing,
he said: 1T is safe to say that these
roads did not cost over SO 1-3 per cent
of the estimate of their present value
The value of railroad is almost
IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN.
The cost of a road can not be taken
as the proper basis of the value on
which it is entitled to a fair. rate of
interest. There may have been extrava-
gance or rascality in the construction
and equipment of it. Neither are they
entitled to interest on the basis of
their present value, because, as / nave
said, this value is largely due to the
mere fact that the road exists
Judge Kerr-Suppose one Red river
valley farmer paid $25 an acre for his
land while another got his at $3.50 an
acre. Would the first be entitled to
any higher price for his land because
he paid the higher price for it? What
we want to get at is the principle.
Your honor, I should not for an in
slant attempt to controvert that prop
osition if we were attempting to set
the value of the railroad property-the
price at which it should be solo, re-

LOUIS spar, ELEVEN Years Old, Can
Shave Like Il Veteran.
/ There have been infant musical prodi-
igies, theatrical prodigie'; and bicycle
prodigies and now a tonsorial prodigy
has loomed up in the child world. He
is Louis Spar, am eleven-year-old boy
who for six months past has been
acting as a full-fiedged journeyman
barber in his fathers shop. in the base
ment of No. 176 Seventh avenue, says
the New York World.
Louis's talent is inherited. His
father is an expert with razor and
brush, as was his father before him.
When the Spar family came here from
Sicily two years ago Louis was sent
to school. ana quickly became Aneri-
canized. But after school hours he
spent all his time in the barber shop
watching his fathers deft movements.
When custom increased Spar let the
boy lather the waiting customers. AS
Louis was only about a yard high it
was necessary to provide him with
chair on which to -tand while he
welded the brush. One day custom
err fell asleep while the boy was lather-
ing him. and when he awoke Louis
was making the last sweep CT q keen
edged razor over his face. The boys
reputation was made at once. Gradual
ly he widened his field of activity.
Shampooing was hard work at first
for the little fellow, whose arms We're

GROWERS POINTS.
In his argument for the Great North
ern, Mr.. Grover said that the original
655 miles, of the line cost 1881 1856
The Manitoba company constructed,
between 1880 and 1893, 725 miles more,
which with the cost of improving the
old line, cost $23, 963170, making the to-
tai cost of the 1881 miles in the state,
$42, ,456, an average of $50, 620 "a mile.
The present value of the road in this
state, with the terminals and equip
ment, was over $34, 200 per mile The
stocks and bonds outstanding of the
company were trif1e less than 5000
a mile. Continuing, Mr.. Grover said:
The total income from the entire line
in 1894 was ST, 1885, TO; the total in
come on all local business including
all business passing from point with
in the state to point without it, and
vice versa, in which Minnesota patrons
of the line pay is $685. Sis; deducting
this from the total for the entire line
leaves the gross earnings for interstate
business, IS, 426, 255; total opera ting ex-
penses outside the state, So, IA, 1923; total
interest on bonds and taxes outside of
state, So, 1S9, SOL; deducting these two
items from the gross earnings outside
of state, s,426, 255, it leaves a balance
of gross earnings on account of inter-
state traffic in the state, of which pat
rons in the state have the benefit, of

OF the company pays the interest on
the capital invested outside the state
and operating expenses outside the
state. and leaves a balance of gross
earnings in the state on account of in
terstate business of $1,521, AL.
Adding to this the total gross earn
ings in the state, we have as total
gross earnings in the state. "a, 4S0, 956.
Deducting operating expenses in the
state and taxes, and we have as net
earnings in the state on state and in
terstate business for 1894, 81, 522, 344
This, divided by the mileage in the
state, leaves net earnings of 81, 102 Is
per mile, which is equivalent to an
income of 1867 per cent on $4,000 a
mile or per cent on $1S,369 mile, to
say nothing of the capital stock
The reduction made by the order on
grain alone is more than $15S,000, and
the question is whether the earnings
under the existing tariff, which yield
only 6 per cent on less than $4,000 per
mile, ought to be still further reduced

SOLDIERS LOST FINGER.
Discovery He Made on Revisitins

Rome (Ga.) Cor. Atlanta Constitution
/; OF all the wonderful war stories that
have been set afloat since the terrible
days of the Cos, John Sammons, of
this county, has started one of the most
remarkable. Sammons is responsible
man, a good farmer, who stands high
among his neighbors, ard whose re-
liability has never been brought into
question. He was a brave soldier of
the Confederate army. and was one of
those who participated in that bloody
tragedy on the banks of Ch!cKamauga

struck his gunstock and cut off the
two first joints of the forefinger of his
right hand as clean as a knife would
have done it. The dismembered finger
dropped among the leaves, and as he
was more particular about saving the
balance of his body than about rescu-
ing as little of his body as missing

of the fight. stanchins his bleeding
hand as best he could.
The war was fought to a finish and
Sammons came back home and went
to work, charging up his MANNED hand
to the losses of the Confederacy. Some
time ago he decided to revisit the bat
tlefeld, which he had not seen in thir-
ty-two years. nearly, and so he betook
himself to Chickamauga and started to
stroll over the battlefield. The tree
where he stood when wounded occu-
pied such a conspicuous position that
he found little difficulty in locating it,
with all the scars and knots on it's
rugged trunk caused by the flying mis-
siles of death. Having found the tree
he put himself in the same position
in which he was standing when wound
ed, and then it occurred to him to look
for the bones of his missing finger
Scratching around among the leaves,
much to his establishment he found the
bones where the finger had fallen, and
they correspond exactly with the fin
ger he had lost. They had lain there
undisturbed ever since that dread day,
and it was with a strange feeling that
he took them, and after establishing
their itentity to his perfect satisfac-
ton, wrapped them up and took them
away with him as a strange souvenir
of his wartime experiences. Mr.. SAM
mons has them in his possession now,
and will preserve them as an evidence
of the fact that he found them on the
battlefield after the lapse of so many

state. The important thing for the
court to determine was the question
as to the basis of value on which the
company is entitled to a return on the
investment. The Northern Pacific had
been an important factor. in the devel-,
the Twin Cities, and in the upbuild-s
ing OF these cities. 1t had gone out

mating that value. If the state pre-

the road. but the state must take
either one or the ether end of the
stick. The road was entitled to a

Mr.. Kellogg then submitted an esti-
mate, based on the evidence intro

which it was shown that to reproduce
